Afterword

 

Reverence -

The tone of this work was necessarily serious.  There is only one light quip in the whole of it, and that was almost edited out.  The focus was so keen and study so intense humor had to be allowed to explode elsewhere in other short pieces as a relief.  The word of God is the most precious thing a person can get their hand on, and after God, the Lord Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, nothing is more deserving of respect and reverence.  The theory entertained herein includes speculations from portions of scripture, and has made assertions for consideration.  Great care was taken at all times to keep in mind the holiness of the material and keep its author in the author’s mind.  In spite of all this care, the author is painfully aware that other men would have produced a better effort.

Strandings -

The author built his work on the work of other men, and has contributed to that discussion.  The largest contribution has been the discussion herein on the phenomenon of whale and dolphin standings.  Because the treatment is unique and provocative, and deals with physical characteristics of elements and animals that can be directly measured, it’s reasonable to anticipate objections from a certain quarter that might be of the opinion that an unauthorized intruder should be shown the door. In the spirit of objective inquiry, let the question remain at the forefront one which asks how he got in.

The theologian has access to keys men of other specialties and pursuits cannot count on their chain.  Speculating on phenomenon is not the exclusive domain of scientists because they can tie an instrument onto a porpoise’s pasutee and track him. (Interestingly, the porpoise is alternately referred to in Old English as mereswine.) What results from those endeavors is, in some cases, fairly accurate data which can be accessed, and from which fin tales can also be spun. 

The Christian has a more sure database to explain the unexplained, and can rely upon it more than upon the changing graphs and charts from technicians and cartographers.  But let’s use for the time what they can explain.

Objection:

If the entrance to the Abyss, from whence demons are summoned to use whales to strike land, and where they are at times banished, is in the Atlantic Ocean; how did the demons, cast out by Jesus into the swine that drown, get to the Atlantic from the Sea of Galilee when it is a land-locked sea?

Let’s take the most difficult part of this objection first.

There are in deep seas caverns where channels of water run many miles through undersea caves and causeways.  There is also something underground called the water table.  Water from precipitation and run off infiltrates the ground and at some depth the ground reaches a saturation point where the water tables in the porous soil and sediment.  In some areas the water table is only a few feet below the ground surface, and in others it’s thousands of feet below.  It’s an underground sea that the Sea of Galilee would be in touch with.  The demons could have been made to have traveled to the abyss in those ways, or in a more obvious one. 

The climate in the Mediterranean area is temperate, but still seasonal, and the topography is not static.  Water and even the earth move. 

While the area surrounding the Sea of Galilee is dry, there is more water to form tributaries to it in the winter time. When Joshua crossed the Jordan River a fourteen hundred years before Jesus was baptized in it, there was enough water in it to chronicle a crossing requiring special preparation.  When John was baptizing, he found enough water in the Jordan for all comers. 

Today, the Jordan River, which connects to the Sea of Galilee from the north, is barely a trickle in some places and dries in the summer in others.  This is due partly to climactic change, ongoing geological change, and manmade obstructions from water projects like dams.  It is not the same today as when Jesus sailed on Galilean waters to meet the demon possessed Gergaseans, but historical maps show the existence of tributaries that appear to join, or be able to connect, the Sea of Galilee through the Jordan out to the Mediterranean Sea, joining it just north of the city of Tyre.

This would have formed an acceptable waterway. From the Mediterranean the demons would pass through the Striate of Gibraltar into the Atlantic.

Six Days of Creation -

There are other references in the Bible for the six days in Genesis and the work performed therein.  The key to their interpretation is careful study.  The Translators of our precious King James Bible were the best men best available for the task or probably could have ever been assembled for the task.  Their work was so thorough and accurate that we can study the individual words they translated into English, and even take issue with some of the choices they made to render them translated.  But nothing so technical is usually at point due to their brilliance and choice of the most accurate manuscripts for their work. 

For example we read in Exodus:

For in six das the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath, and hollowed it (Exo 2011). 

To better understand what this verse in not saying we may take a word that is in question and apply it to another process. 

When we assemble ingredients in their respective quantities  necessary to bake a cake and put them through a process that does indeed produce it, we say accurately that we made a cake; we do not say we created it.  Everything that  was required existed beforehand and only needed to be reorganized and processed.  The word that was translated “created” in Genesis chapter one, verse two, comes from the word  bara  which means create.  The word in the Exodus verse translated “made” comes from the word asah which has a broad sense and wide application and is used for ‘accomplish,’ ‘advance,’ ‘bestow,’ and ‘fashion,’ and does not mean to create.

Videos -

WARNING -The following video depicts clearly the worshiping of demons and the celebration of their doctrines. If you choose to view the video, you may wish to do so on mute so as to lessen the demonic nature of the experience.

By the looks on the faces of some of the men present, they are uncomfortable with the worship.  They should have stood and collected their families and walked out, but the success of the demonic doctrine of feminism which led to the ordination of  women pastors has decimated the headship of men in the churches, and there is little some can now do unless they are willing to leave the church where their wife pastors.

The men are emasculated and the churches go into apostasy.  Paul warned about this progression of demonic seduction that would result from women pastors:

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (1Ti 2:12-14)

Video Description - The animals are led to the pulpit in a procession.  First, women - on both sides to the pavilion - usher bears, one black, one white,  forward in celebratory dance, and the women continue in a provocative urging until they get the bears to rise up on their hind legs.  The colors demonstrate the joining of opposites, and the standing at the pulpit demonstrates the equality of animals to mankind, and their cohabitation in the church as fellow creatures and worshipers (abstain from meats).

Notice that the Sun god high priest has right hand in gesture of Hindu Gyan Mudra, with index finger touching tip of thumb, used induce a state happiness and increased knowledge promised in exchange for worshiping demons.

Notice woman in prominent position behind Sun god high priest, with man in tow behind her amongst the children. Notice woman carrying peace offering.

Notice nature themed banners. Notice foul smelling animals in procession.  

Notice in background intricate images of red flames projected on the walls and encircling the audience to disorient them and to impart a spiritual experience, and used as an imitation of the Holy Spirit descending on the platform to welcome worship.

Notice the demon high priest gesturing to give the benediction over the people.  

Notice the design of sashes on parade here, of bright colors and pantheistic heathenism.

Notice it all ushered forth with ribbon sticks waved to distract the conscious from reason as was performed in the Babylonian mystery religions, and carried over in the pomp in the Roman Catholic Church of colored vestments and ornate robes.

Notice as a fertility dance is performed on platform. Notice priestesses bring elements to the platform that could represent the communion and raise them for blessing of demons. 

Notice , if you did not mute, the worship music is haunting and trance like to produces an altered state of consciousness and renders the audience more susceptible to the worship of demons, and to demon possession.

The demons hang from the rafters and sit in the pews. Waiting. For victims.

Too Many Theologians, Not Enough Tentmakers

May 8th, 2010 by David Dansker

pyromaniacs1.gif

The fallout over John Piper’s endorsement of Rick Warren has also revealed that people in ministry positions from where they should be able to respond decisively and expeditiously are selecting the wrong time to apply generosity of spirit and indecisiveness.  For example, Phil Johnson is executive director of Grace to You radio ministry of John MacArthur.  Johnson also writes for his own website Pyromaniacs, and his lengthy article “On the Piper-Warren Connection” would lead one to believe by its title that he is addressing the serious implications of John Piper inviting Rick Warren to speak at his Desiring God National Conference.  Actually, it does little to address the heart of the issue itself; instead, it provides evidence of an unflattering assessment of many in professional ministry.

Unfortunately, many that make their living in Christian Industry are often too far removed from real living to develop discernment.  Their problem is they are usually surrounded by admiring laity, and live a cloistered, insulated, happy little Christian life, and are too far from the front lines of spiritual warfare to discern the times.  This is demonstrated by the length Johnson goes to in his article to prove he almost knows that Piper’s endorsement of Warren is an apostate move, without being able to come out and say it is an apostate move; resulting in an irresponsible piece that flirts with the notion that Johnson knows the truth, but can’t set if free.

Life Groups: Resource Management

January 29th, 2010 by David Dansker

Members Recast: Judas Iscariots and No-Talents

Most Life Groups are not Christian fellowships.  They are groups of people managed for their resources by church leadership teams.  The unsaved are often encouraged to join these groups where salvation is secondary, if it is that high on the list at all.  The membership drives are conducted for any and all so long as they’ll be manageable for resources.  That is the impetus behind community outreach projects, and the reason an emphasis is on the surrounding community instead of focusing on the body of Christ, the Church, as a separate entity.  That sort of divisiveness would preclude growth as defined in corporate business models.

Radicalis: Radically Compromising Perry Noble

January 14th, 2010 by David Dansker

perry-noble.jpgThe upcoming Radicalis conference scheduled to take place at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, February 9-12, will include speakers Rick Warren, his ministry team, and what is shaping up to be a line-up of, well, the usual suspects for apostasy. One headliner is Perry Noble, Senior Pastor of New Spring Church where there are 10,000 members.  The arduous chore of pastoring such a large crowd means that sacrifices must be made, but not by the pastor.  Noble explained some of the sacrifices members must be prepared to make in a video-clip retrieved from YouTube, in which Noble explained: “We have people coming to this church, going: ‘I want a church where I can know the pastor.’” Noble’s admonishment to those people was: “You need to leave.  I don’t have time.”1  The factor of time in such a large church certainly plays a role in how often a pastor can meet with the sheep, but Noble has a larger problem with shepherding.

Radicalis: Radically Compromising Brad Powell

Manhattan Manifesto: The Declaration

December 5th, 2009 by David Dansker

ngc2818_hheritage_800yy22.jpg

Many civic minded individuals with religious convictions have joined together in the Manhattan Declaration to declare their opposition to abortion and support of marriage, among other socially redeeming values.  Except for other signers, it might be only the commendable exertion of civic duty on the part of the citizenry that could be praised much in the same way as their registering to vote, though garnering more of it from those who agree with their position.  What has turned this otherwise fair lesson in civics, however, into a debacle is the assortment of religious leaders who are now also in league together by their own declaration.

Life Groups: Death Groups for Christianity

August 9th, 2009 by David Dansker

ngc2818_hheritage_800yy22.jpg

Christians today are largely unaware of the communists tactics for taking over individuals and controlling populations.  They should make themselves aware because these are now being used successfully in churches to take them over, change their mission, and steal their wealth.  For a complete expose on the communist process of brainwashing the reader is encouraged to read the seminal work on the subject by the author who first printed the term “brainwashing” in the English language.   In Edward Hunter’s Brainwashing: The story of men defied it, Hunter not only reveals the process, but what has proven to be the best and most effective strategies for surviving and defeating it.  Although the threat of communism is thought to be a relic of the past that has been largely discredited, and today nonexistent, it has never been more important to understand its powerful tools and its success in enslaving  men in a false religion.

Christian Leaders Never Tire of Being Burned by Politicians

June 11th, 2008 by David Dansker

Presidential candidate Barack Obama hosted a private interview this week with several Christian leaders that some say was intended “to prompt a wide discussion”1 on various topics such as abortion and homosexual rights. Such reaching out by politicians for the purpose of dialogue is notoriously aimed at courting endorsements from high profile personalities. Christian leaders, especially of the genuine verity, should take warning. These same leaders will find that they are expendable, and will be sheded faster than a burning shirt, should they later prove politically inconvenient. And they will be the ones worse for the wear. Just ask Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church, San Antonio Texas. Hagee endorsed Republican candidate John McCain only to be thrown under the bus by McCain when the press took Hagee out of context from sermon he preached back in the nineties on Israel. Hagee, who undoubtedly threw his support behind McCain in an effort to ward off the greater of two evils (and not on McCain’s substance), learned the hard way any compromise with reprobates is too much.In an effort to make their union work out, Hagee had been forced to write a letter of apology to the Catholic Church for his eschatological teaching which identifies it as the imitation, One World church to enjoy temporary reign and then suffer God’s wrath during the tribulation period. The letter was magnanimous enough not to retract the substance of the teaching, but Hagee’s integrity suffered damage by the appearance of a general retraction. They keep coming.

Ask Pastor Bob DeWaay of Twin City Fellowship, Minneapolis, Minnesota. He visited pastor-turned-politician Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven conference last month (at Warren’s all-expenses paid invitation) on the pretense of establishing dialogue. Dewaay has been critical of Warren’s departure from Christina doctrine and adoption of secular principals, and was solicited by Warren in an effort to woo him over. The effort failed, but ever the politician Warren tried to capitalize on the compromise visit by having his camp claim that DeWaay’s attendance at the conference evidenced his endorsement of Warren’s politics.

DeWaay was forced to spend time defending himself against Warren’s powerful PR machine, and reiterating his unchanged position with what meager resources he could avail himself of. While he probably salvaged the charge, always printed on the front page, with those who know him best; the correction, always printed on the back page, could barely be expected to reach the ones who had attended the conference and who noted DeWaay’s presence there. If nothing else, some damage was done if only in expended effort that could have been put to use elsewhere. Yet, the harder they learn, the harder they fall.

The next Christian leader in line to learn the lesson of compromise the hard way was lined up by Barack for his private interview. Franklin Graham revealed that he carries the shoehorn for his own slide by explaining why he attended the event. According to Graham’s spokesman, “He feels that dialogue with someone who may be president is useful whether or not you agree with them on everything or anything.”2 Will they never learn? Couldn’t Graham take a cue form the other leaders who were present and realize that he was at Compromise Hall, and extricate himself with honor?

It was no surprise that T.D. Jakes, quoted above, was in attendance and in affirmation. Jakes has been fawning over Obama from the beginning of his campaign, and is already famous for his compromise of Christian doctrine in favor of splash and cash. Rich Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals (also known as the Green Evangelicals), who also attended, would follow Obama anywhere so long as he continues to support the Green politics of eviscerating the American way of life and reintroducing serfdom so that the earth may be shown its proper reverence, and Gaia worship can be established as the state religion. That political plank works in fine with Obama’s Post Modern Marxism as was expressed by his wife who, while campaigning for his economic policies of, no surprise, universal distribution, said: “The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”3 Every one except the ones in charge of the pie, that is. It will be their job to oversee the revolution (change we can believe in) until everyone is freed to become a poor starving, but green, Marxist. Attention Christian leaders: Marxists and apostates are atheists, compromise at you own risk.

In a Glass House: The Transparency of Crystal Cathedral’s Apostasy

November 27th, 2007 by David Dansker

web3xx11.jpg. Credit: NASA, HTS

Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove California is set to host a Christian conference in January 2008 that will include a gathering of assorted cultural icons. The conference, titled “Rethink: new perspectives from global influencers,” is billed as a high-level strategy session where strategic briefings will be given on geo-political trends, and where “secrets for success”1 will be shared. The object of the conference is to glean valuable insight for determining how to “stay on the cutting edge” in this fast paced world.2 The practical strategies for this edge-clinging are to be discovered in post-briefing, facilitated, small group brainstorming sessions.

There are at least two serious problems with this Christian conference. Firstly, it is amazing to find the facilitated format still purported to be a process of shared discovery after so many have already discovered that this small group paradigm means that the conclusions have gone in before the facilitators come out.

Secondly, the criterion that was used for selecting speakers for this “Christian” event has nothing to do with Christian doctrine. The qualifier is that they be successful in a given market. That is what makes them influential. The line up of guest speakers includes entertainers, filmmakers, global media executives, and a former U.S president. Speakers will be professing Christian thinkers, and non-Christian Globalist thinkers such as Larry King and George H. Bush. The question naturally arises, why would this still be billed as a Christian conference? Here is the answer Rethink provides:

We’re purposely gathering a group of speakers you wouldn’t necessarily expect to hear at a Christian conference. Our aim is to be immersed in the latest thoughts and perspectives of these respected cultural icons to tap into what’s happening in our world today and to grapple with how we respond.3

With the exception of the ignorant and the naïve, could any real Christian leaders be expected to attend this confabulation? Any Christians who are sent invitations should already know that what is happening in the world today is spiritual warfare, and that we are not to gather with the unsaved to grapple with flesh and blood for our strategies, but are instead to put on the whole amour of God (Eph 6:13-18):

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph 6:12)

Furthermore, Christians are not to be immersed in the vain philosophies of man’s wisdom, no matter how iconoclastic a particular philosopher has become by his or her success in the kingdoms of this world (Col. 2:8). Neither should we be yoked together with them in their pursuits, or adopt their methods of pursuing; whether that be for obtaining success, or gain, or for the sake of social causes (2 Cor. 6:14-18). These causes differ from faith causes in that they precede from the desires of the flesh to serve the flesh.

web3xx22.jpg. Credit: NASA, HTSCampaigns to address poverty and hunger emerge to sustain a cheap source of labor to furnish goods and services to the comfortable, to circumvent epidemics before pandemics reach the them, and to gain subservience from dependent classes (they would put a labtop in their hands to get instructions to them faster). Programs to distribute medical supplies naturally follow poverty campaigns for the same reasoning. The world fight against AIDS is a fight of the flesh in response to the sinner’s desire to engage in all manner of fornication at all times despite clear and present danger to themselves and others.

Africa is the magnet for these appeals to the churches because it is the mesh where the pictures of innocent starving children can be applied to all these issues while at the point of a bayonet in a war-torn dirt land far enough from pews to invite easy meritorious sainthood and preclude the responsibilities of the priesthood of every believer. Churches like Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral and Rick Warren’s Saddleback feed on this Christian irresponsibility as much as they are the cause of it.

The Rethink conference will be about adopting key programs for influencing the world. To do this they will have to adopt the causes that feed the world’s flesh in order to win their praise, and they will have to ignore their souls in order to gain acceptance. These new programs will be carried back to churches everywhere and billed as new ways of doing church for the new century. They will be portrayed as required adaptations churches must make in order to adjust to the culture and obtain relevance. The message will play well to congregations who have for too long be fed the empty calories of whip cream in place of sound doctrine, and the tide will continue towards apostasy.

Reframing Your God: Psychotherapy at the Pinnacle of Babel

September 23rd, 2007 by David Dansker

pia08939_modest2credit-nasa.jpg
Probably the single most powerful force plunging the Protestant church into apostasy is psychotherapy. With its pretense of science, aura of state licensing, and seductive dichotomy of body, spirit, and mind as equal parts in holistic health care; the pursuit of mental health, with its manufactured aliments and theoretical cures, has eclipsed the quest for spiritual growth and discernment.

For an example of how ludicrous these psychotherapy theories have become, and how brazen their attacks on the Christian faith, consider Reframe Your Life: Transforming Your Pain into Purpose, by Stephen Arterburn. The book description alone sounds an alarm:

Everyone needs a way to break free from the pain of their past. By explaining and illuminating a psychological technique known as ‘reframing,’ bestselling author Stephen Arterburn puts readers on the path to freedom from old wounds….

Reframe Your Life instructs readers on how to view hurtful events through a more informed frame of reference, allowing them to look at dark moments from a broader perspective than the events themselves and empowering them to step into a brighter future.1

But is this architectural exercise of creating a museum in the imagination where exhibits are constructed of past sins in order to dress them up in decorative framing “the path to freedom from old wounds,” or a menagerie created by psychotherapy which locks the wayward into a curatorial obligation of servitude to the past? Moreover, the pertinent question here is, should a Christian obtain this book to seek help?

Steve Arterburn is the founder of New Life Ministries, a counseling and treatment ministry, and the host of the nationally syndicated radio show “New Life Live.” Although Arterburn describes his ministry as “faith-based” on his website, a call to his counseling network revealed that the great majority of the counselors used by New Life are state licensed psychologists.

pia07569-br500.jpg. Credit:NASAIt should also be noted that the term faith-based does not mean exclusively Christian, or based on Christian doctrines. In fact, the most that Publishers Weekly could say in their review regarding any biblical principals to be found in Reframe Your Life was that “a gentle faith perspective is woven through the book, with a special section on Reframing Your God to help readers get their spiritual lives in harmony.”2

The sad truth is that for the person without God this psychobabble is the best the world has to offer: reinventing the past and flirtations with a customizable God concept. More tragically, it functions much like an inoculation to the real thing. For the Christian, this is psychoheresy: the mingling of psychological theories with biblical principals to compromise or contradict biblical Christianity. Indeed, a treatment in such a work devoted to reframing your God raises the question as to whether or not blasphemy is committed. Christians should not consult this work; much less support it by purchasing it.
