Billy Graham, The opposite of Christ.
#BillyGraham Billy Graham, The founder of Christianity Today Magazine:
"During April 1989, a secret, thirteen page letter written on April 15, 1969 by White House Chaplain Billy Graham to U.S. President Richard Nixon was released to the public by National Archives and Records Administration in which Graham had encouraged Nixon to utilize a military campaign to bomb dikes across North Vietnam should the Paris Peace Talks fail to reach a negotiated settlement of the U.S. war in Southeast Asia. Graham developed his dike bombing strategy during an earlier business meeting in Bangkok with his evangelists assigned to Southern Vietnam. Graham would later advocate to Nixon that this proposed escalation of the war in Southeast Asia as plan that "could overnight destroy the economy of North Vietnam" by employing "tens of thousands of North Vietnamese defectors to bomb and invade the North."

Estimates from the Nixon administration concluded that such a military
aerial bombing campaign against dikes in North Vietnam would have killed
an estimated one million North Vietnamese."

Christianity Today and it's Counter Reformation Agenda
Aug 23, 2016
Researching and scouring info about Christianity Today which was founded by Billy Graham. This terrible unchristian magazine also carried the story (slander) by Gary Metz about Alberto Rivera.

Christianity Today taking a dig at deceased Keith Green:

More: Look at this slur against Keith Green after he died. This is "Christianity Today Magazine" Founded by the Papal Puppet Billy Graham. This same magazine carried at least one story by the spook Gary Metz who slandered Alberto Rivera. Its starting to look like Christianity Today has a serious Counter-Reformation agenda.

No John Michael Talbot, Keith Green was absolutely right about you and your cult. And he did what he did PERFECTLY. You are just a nutty Catholic cultist. And Keith Green was a much better musician than you as well...
Keith Green's devastating exposé on Rome: Catholic Chronicles tract.

Wikipedia Censorship and Hypocrisy (plus more..)
Aug 23, 2016
New Banner for my Vatican-Nazi page. It took me 18 hours straight of tedius work to make but it's a very important graphic that needs to be shared. Please link my site to it if you share it.
In the Germany - 1933 Wikipedia page someone removed (or completely omitted) the entry for July 20 which is when the concordat between Nazi Germany and the Holy See was signed (and ratified Sept 10). I opened a wikipedia account and added it back. We'll see if it stays. Wikipedia also cropped two people out of the official picture of the signing of the Reichskonkordat. Here is the image (I added the two missing on the right of the image in the red circle).

I also updated my Alberto Rivera page.
I am a former Catholic. That makes me an eligible neutral opinion on matters regarding the Catholic "church". Yet my wikipedia edits are suppressed while a Knight of Columbus' edits are allowed. For 8 years now wikipedia has censored Alberto Rivera's Spanish/Jesuit ID. Why. Because some Catholics decided he wasn't really a Jesuit? Because Gary Metz (a relative unknown who is most likely a low level CIA agent), wrote an article with NOT ONE document to prove Alberto was never a Jesuit? Now they have changed Alberto's wikipage to "Alberto Rivera (Activist)" and start the article calling him an "Anti-Catholic activist". Meanwhile there are old images available of him wearing priest clothes. These images are of Alberto BEFORE he claimed to be a born again Christian and former Jesuit priest. These images should not be suppressed. Meanwhile there isn't ONE document proving Raymond McGovern was ever really a CIA analysist but his wikipedia remains intact with all this undocumented claims (until today when I made an edit myself).

One of the worst gatekeepers I've ever come across was a guy who was a wikipedia admin. He now works for wordpress. His wiki handle and user name is "Otto42". On wikipedia he was gatekeeping Alberto Rivera's wiki page. Here is a screenshot of the actual edit wars I had with at least 3 different individuals. One is a Knight of Columbus ("Kmerian")

Here you can see part of a conversation where wiki-admin gatekeepers had decided that Alberto Rivera was a "fraud". Talk about "POV"! Does this sound neutral?:

Jewish authors and researchers failing to distinguish the difference between Catholicism and Christianity (By Accident?)
I was just talking about this subject the other day. See here:
Then I buy this man's book and he says the very thing I was talking about. I'm talking about how Jews fail to distinguish the difference between Catholicism and Christianity. This is a grievous error to make! You can read just one small point I made here:
Then I buy this man's book and he says the very thing I was talking about. I'm talking about how Jews fail to distinguish the difference between Catholicism and Christianity. This is a grievous error to make! You can read just one small point I made here:
Daniel, I got my first ever taste of anti-Semitism in the Catholic church. I was raised in Hewlett, NY part of the Five Towns in Long Island. As a conservative guess I would say the area is or was about 50% Jewish. One year on my first day of Catechism classes the instructor was reading off the names for attendance. He got to a name I did not recognize, the instructor paused looked at the girl and asked "are you Jewish?". She replied "yes". He asked, "Why are you here?" She said, "to learn about your religion." The instructor, probably a priest but he was in regular clothes so I'm not sure. But after the girl's last response he got very angry, face reddened and he tells her "this isn't something to just study, this is about FAITH." He then made her collect her things and kicked her out of the class. I remember thinking, "wow, you have to be Catholic to learn about God.". How horrible to embarrass a young girl like that. I wonder how long this traumatized her. But that is only the very start of my thoughts about Catholicism and anti-Semitism. I have researched many hours and sifted through much information over the years and I have [shockingly] found the premise of your book to be correct. I plan on ordering it today and reading it. Best wishes, Thomas Richards, spirituallysmart.com
After I bought his book I wrote a follow-up:
After purchasing your book I immediately found a glaring error. You failed to distinguish the difference between Christianity and Catholicism. Doing so ignores the thousands of years of persecution Christians faced by the Catholic cult. William Tyndale was murdered by Catholics. Tyndale was one of the greatest Bible translators that ever lived. The Pope ordered his bibles burned. Thomas More was one of Tyndale's greatest persecutors and the Catholic church and many political and judicial giants PRAY TO him at every Red Mass in probably every state. This is just a tiny dot of info I'm leaving here. But you do a great disservice to real Christians who have historically supported Jews and worship the greatest Jew who ever lived and that is Jesus (Joshua) the Christ (Messiah).

Sympathy, Mercy and Compassion...
If #God has had mercy on you. Go and have #mercy on others...
#sympathy #loveyourneighborasyourself
#sympathy #loveyourneighborasyourself
No man can come to Jesus, unless the Father draws him: ...." John 6:44
With no religious upbringing I
claimed Jesus appeared to me when I was only 3 years old. My mother was a
liberal who had me playing with a Ouija board as a child. One day I
woke up and I couldn't move my legs. Doctors were stumped. After a week
or so I began being able to walk a little, but only on my tip-toes.
Eventually I walked normally. I was also plagued with nightmares which I
remember many of them to this day. One day my mother came home from
work, went straight to the closet, took the Ouija board out of the
closet and brought it out to the trash. She wouldn't tell me why and to
this day I still don't know.
But I always believed in God and I was directed to the local Catholic church by my Aunt. I was baptized and confirmed there. I can tell you from experience that there is nothing deader than the Catholic cult. It is dark, filled with creepy statues, candles and idolatry. It is a political religious business that has no real knowledge of God. They enjoy tax exempt status even in places where the taxes are through the roof. Like in Long Island, NY for instance. They never helped me even though my mother and I were basically poverty stricken (her choice - long story).
My baseball coach was one of the kindest and generous people I can remember. And he was a Jewish dad, husband and business owner. He used to buy me brand new Rawlings baseball gloves each season I was on his team (at least 3 years) and even bought me box seat tickets to one of the very few baseball games I ever went to where I got Dave Winfield's autograph on a baseball.
But just think. I was one of the poorest people in a rich neighborhood and only a block away from the Catholic church and never got one bit of help from them. What did they do with all the tithes from the local millionaires?
But through everything. The darkness and false religion and even witchcraft, God drew my soul to Him and I finally got saved when I was 27 years old. He, Himself drew me to Him through His Son Christ Jesus. Why? Because He is kind and merciful. Not because there was something good in me. And I know He can do the same for you. Turn your hearts and thoughts to God. We are living in perilous times. We need Him and He wants to grant us His peace, promises and blessings. Pray to Him. Read His Word and know, He is real, He is alive, And He cares for YOU.

And the Peace of God, which Passeth All Understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ
I was thinking about this all and the Scripture "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
I didn't have peace before I was saved. I can tell you, I know the difference. Before I was saved I didn't have peace. But I still faced normal times of sadness and anger. I couldn't really get beyond my own self to reach out and help others. And have mercy on others. I was too wrapped up in my own problems. I remember realizing this back when I had a job opportunity to work with people with severe emotional and learning disabilities. I knew I couldn't even really help myself at that point so what could I possibly do for others?
Now, I have that #PeaceThatPassessUnderstanding. But that doesn't make me an unfeeling, unmerciful person. So "peace" and "sadness" can be simultaneous. It has to be.
Christ, the Prince of Peace had sadness. This is proof. he faced sadness and yet had peace. Unsaved people face sadness and don't have true peace underneath it.
"There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." Isaiah 57:21
And so these people will not be able to effectively help others. Not really. Maybe a little bit. How can you help others when you yourself have no peace? When you're lacking the most important part of being a human. God.
I can say I truly have peace. And it only came through Jesus Christ. I can boldly tell people this truth. And maybe plant seeds of hope within them. And maybe help the soul of someone who feels they are at the end of their rope...
How and Why did you become a Christian
When you can make up any old lie to attack a country and kill their
people it's not a stretch for people to do the same here in our country.
This country has become complacent and now accept murder as a part of
regular life. I don't see any Christians speaking out against it. I only
see fake Christians joining in the propaganda. I don't accept it and
never will. And I'll proudly stand alone against it all. All I need is
the Lord. And I don't believe He has left me. I feel blessed
by God every day. And even when things go wrong, I'm still thankful. As
I said a couple a months after I got saved, "My worst day since being
saved is a million times better than my best day when I wasn't saved."
And that truth still applies 19 years later. I love the Lord. He made
Himself real to me. Has He made Himself real to you? If He hasn't, I
don't know why you would claim to be a Christian. It sounds more like
someone who joined a club or chose a hobby. I'm a Christian because God
saved my soul when I was hopeless. Tell me about your salvation
experience..
Jesus the Jew
People who hate Jews so much are really going to be surprised when
they find themselves bowing to Jesus confessing He is the Lord. Jesus is
Jewish. And that "Jew" ascended into heaven. Bodily. It was His Jewish
blood that was shed for the forgiveness of sins. Without accepting that
Jewish blood, you are doomed. And His 12 Jewish Apostles preached and
turned the world upside down for the gospel and gave us the New
Testament. Not to mention the Jews who gave us the Old Testament
and prophesied of Christ's appearing in this world and the salvation
which followed. "Jews" are actually my heroes. They are the prophets and
apostles in God's Word.
Of course there have always been evil Jews as well. We read about them
in the Bible too. Judas Iscariot was Jewish. They are not my heroes. And
evil Jews today are not my heroes either.
But trying to insinuate Jews are some kind of evil race will only lead to your own downfall. There is no evil race except for the unsaved human race. The human race made up of every different color and type. And any of those people have a chance at salvation. That is why we arm ourselves with the gospel of peace and open our mouths when God opens the door for us to witness to someone.
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." Revelation 7:9, 10
Amen

Do what the Word says and Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
What is love? God is love. Who is God? God is the Word. Know God. Know the Word and #loveyourneighborasyourself
That is the simple answer to the problems we face. How do we love our
neighbor? Love God with all your heart and "In all thy ways acknowledge
him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:6
"When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." Proverbs 16:7
The bible shows us how and where we fall short in our lives. God will heal those areas in our lives if we admit we need His grace in the place of that weakness. With God, nothing is impossible.
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5
This is the gospel, the good news. We can do this through Christ in us.
We, "Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:5
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," Ephesians 3:20
We must acknowledge this power. Not like these who,
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:5
Turn away from them. That is love. Because it's following God's Word and God is able to work through faith.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:22-25
God, bless us with faith, bless us with zeal and a hunger for your word. Let your perfection shine through us. And all those that read these verses, may this seed fall on good ground within our hearts so it brings forth fruit an hundred-fold. In Jesus' Name I pray Amen

The Imminent Return of Christ
Full text without going to facebook: When I first got saved I was filled with the overwhelming feeling and sense of knowledge that Christ's return was imminent. Months and now years go by and over time I thought about that. This is the scripture I found to help understand what I experienced:
"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand." 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 2
Isn't that amazing? This was happening just a few years after Christ had died and raised from the dead and ascended to take His place on the right hand of God. Some thought Christ was already coming back any moment. But Paul continues,
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?" 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5
Wow. Do you believe the Word of God? This is going to happen. Has it happened? Some of it seems to have. I would classify today's spiritual condition as the "great falling away". But many have said this over the past hundred years. So how far will this "falling away" go? Pauls answers, it wont happen *until* this man of sin is *revealed*. The Pope seems to be a type or precursor to what Paul describes here. But I don't see that clearly as being THIS Pope (the actual *one* that is destroyed by Christ Himself.). BUT, we await this sign to be fulfilled. I don't think it is fully here yet. But the Holy Spirit through Paul does also give these clues,
"And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12
That isn't fearful? I think its very fearful. God, let me not be of that number!
Paul wraps the first chapter up with this very sobering and fearful exhortation. Take heed,
"But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work." 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
I don't ever want to be considered a teacher or a master. "My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation." James 3:1 But I did want to share this today with whoever looks at my page. And to maybe provide a better understanding of simple bible prophecy regarding the end times. Much can be added of course so please do not accuse me of leaving something out. However, If there is something you would like to add please do so.
That said, "the end" for any of us could be any day. We need to be ready and DO as the Bible and Paul instruct, with all our hearts. Please pray for God's will and power and mercy to be manifested today and every day through His people. Amen.
If you aren't ready for Christ's return and feel the desire to repent you can do so anytime, anywhere. Simply tell Christ you are sorry for your sins and acknowledge Christ's death on the cross and shedding of blood for the forgiveness of your sins. The Lord stands at the door and knocks, open your heart and invite Him in to receive power to keep His word. God will make you ready for His return. That is the gospel or good news. It is forgiveness and salvation offered to you freely. May God bless you all, in Jesus' Name Amen

"The Warriors" star got saved soon after filming movie
On January 18, 1979, Michael Beck found God.
He had spent much of his early life resisting the religious upbringing
of his Christian family in Tennessee, instead leaving home to study
acting at London's Central School of Speech and Drama. He had dabbled in
the Eastern philosophies in college, nodded politely when his younger
sister spoke of her devotion to Christ, but spirituality was just
something that never stuck. But now, three weeks away from the release
of his first big Hollywood movie — standing on the precipice of having
everything he had ever dreamt of — Beck was somehow left feeling empty.
During shooting, once Waites was out of the picture, and with his own spiritual awakening still months away, Beck became the star of The Warriors. The chemistry between him and Van Valkenburgh, the female lead, was undeniable, even back in the early days of filming. With the death of Fox, Hill quickly made the decision that Beck's character, Swan, would now not only lead the gang back to Coney Island, but also get the girl.
"He was a very impressive specimen, and he was even more impressive on film," Hill says of Beck's physicality and presence onscreen. "If it wasn't working with Thomas, it wasn't too hard to figure out who was going to be the next [star]."
But hedonism was everywhere on the set, and, all of a sudden, cocaine and women were now available to Beck in even greater quantities as leading man.
"I had money in the bank. I had a couple of girlfriends. I had all the drugs I wanted to take. And my career was on the threshold," he recalls. "All of those things that I wanted were either there or potentially there, in greater intensity going forward. And the knowledge of that, or the realization of that, just didn't answer that hole in myself. That God-shaped hole."
So on January 18, just as The Warriors was about to open, Beck had what they called back home in Tennessee his "come-to-Jesus meeting." He knelt down and prayed to God and was overcome with the feeling that he had to call his sister. He listened one more time to her preach the Gospel, and was changed.
"Like Saul, the scales fell from my eyes," he remembers. "I could see and hear the truth."
From that moment on, Beck would live his life as a born-again Christian.

Lawyers in abuse case claim Salinas PD is too tight with accused priest to investigate.
By Sara Rubin
Thursday, March 10, 2011
Attorneys representing the victim of alleged sexual abuse at the hands of a Catholic priest have asked the Salinas Police Department to recuse itself from the case, citing an entrenched relationship between law enforcement and the alleged perpetrator.
“We believe the Salinas PD has an unavoidable conflict in this case,” lawyers John Manly and Vince Finaldi wrote in a Feb. 22 letter to Salinas Police Chief Louis Fetherolf and Deputy Chief Cassie McSorley.
Salinas police would not comment on the letter. “We’ve investigated our own employees, so I don’t know what the conflict of interest would be,” says police spokesman Lalo Villegas.
The priest, Rev. Edward Fitz-Henry, served as a chaplain or quasi-chaplain for Salinas police, and as a San Benito County sheriff’s chaplain for 15 years until he resigned that role last month.
If the investigation fell under jurisdiction of the San Benito sheriff, the department would pass it to another agency. “We would probably not investigate… so there’s no perception of impropriety,” says Sgt. Scott Becker.
Before the Diocese of Monterey suspended Fitz-Henry last month, he had been a priest at Mission San Juan Bautista since 1996, with the exception of a two-year stint at Madonna del Sasso from 2005 to 2007. The alleged abuse took place at Madonna.
The Diocese began investigating in January, an effort led by recently retired Salinas police sergeant Don Cline.
Finaldi says the Diocese’s inquiry is contaminating witnesses and undermining detectives’ ability to conduct a fair criminal investigation. Villegas, whose wedding Fitz-Henry officiated, agrees. “Why was the Diocese approached first?” he says. “In circumstances like these, the police department would be the first one notified.”
