The Interfaith Movement
is satan's church
" 15 Unto the
pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and
unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience
is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works
they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every
good work reprobate.
Titus 1:15-16
This article shows
that the interfaith movement, which is satan's church. is being
formed by governments, Christian leaders in name only and false
religions.
1. Our Government and
Other Governments Are Promoting the Interfaith Movement
We are seeing a movement from the President, state and city government
and governments in other nations to promote the interfaith movement.
a)President George W.
Bush
The President of
the United States, who says that he is a born again Christian,
is promoting the interfaith movement. You will see from the articles
quoted that President Bush is not a Christian but is helping
to bring in satan's church. An article titled "Bush Visits
Mosque, Urges Americans To Embrace Muslims"(Note 1) states
"-- President Bush visited a mosque and bought coffee for
a cafeteria full of aides on Monday as he appealed to Americans
to get back to everyday business and not turn against their Muslim
neighbors. In his socks, as is Muslim custom, Bush padded through
the ornate mosque on Washington's Wisconsin Avenue, known as
Embassy Row, and heard stories from his hosts about Muslim-American
women who are afraid to leave their homes for fear of backlash
after last week's terrorist strikes.......The president quoted
from the Qur'an and fervently defended the Islamic faith: 'Islam
is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace, they represent
evil and war.'......Bush's appearance at the mosque -- rare for
a U.S. president -- comes at a time when Muslims and Arab-Americans
are alarmed by threats of violence......While Vice President
Dick Cheney made an impromptu walk outside to the charred ruins
of the Pentagon's southwest face, Bush headed downstairs to the
Pentagon cafeteria. A woman began softly singing 'God Bless America'
and soon, everyone in the crowd, including the president, joined
in." We see from this article how rare it is for a U.S.
President to enter a mosque and speak from their book and after
to sing God Bless America. What an abomination. Another article
is titled "Palau Prays With Bush At White House" subtitled
"The evangelist is one of about 24 religious leaders who
pray, and talk with the president."(Note 2) In this article
it states ""His demeanor was very calm, very controlled,
and he allowed a laugh or two,' said Portland evangelist Luis
Palau, who was among two dozen religious figures summoned to
a Thursday morning meeting at the White House. 'I feel great,'
he told us, ' and I attribute that to the prayers of so many
people.'......Palau reported that Bush said he has no fear :
'I've never felt so strong as I'm feeling now. There is a God
who answers prayers when we call for help. I feel I've been sustained
by your prayers. The religious delegation included Catholic and
Protestant Christian, Mormon, Orthodox, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim
and Hindu leaders. 'We were quite a crowd,' said Palau, who immediately
recognized several other evangelical Christians, including Max
Lucado, T.D. Jakes and Franklin Graham. After the meeting, the
group issued a statement of support for the president."
We see the President promoting the interfaith movement with people
professing to be leaders of the Christian faith following this
abomination. All of these ministers must repent and have the
boldness to tell the President that this is an abomination to
Jesus Christ and that he, meaning the President, must repent
and serve Jesus Christ only. An article titled "Dalai Lama
And Bush Meet 'Like Old Friends' " (Note 3) states "The
Dalai Lama has described a meeting in Washington with U.S. President
George W. Bush as "excellent," much like "when
two old friends" get together for a reunion. 'I very much
appreciate his human warmth,' Tibet's exiled spiritual leader
told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.....The White House said Bush received
the Dalai Lama as a religious leader, not a political one. Chinese
Foreign Ministry representative Zhu Bangzao, however, said Tuesday
that 'the Dalai Lama is no ordinary religious figure.'.........Wednesday's
meeting took place in Bush's White House residence, avoiding
-- as did his predecessor, Bill Clinton -- meeting the spiritual
leader in official White House offices. But officials noted the
meeting was more formal than any of Clinton's meetings with the
Dalai Lama." We know that the Dalai Lama is the leader of
the Tibetan Buddhists. His visit with President Bush in his residence
in the White House is an abomination. An article titled "President
Jokes With Drew Carey, Ozzy Osbourne At White House Awards Dinner"(Note
4) states "Bush and top members of his administration mingled
and shared laughs with reporters and other Washington insiders
at the annual White House Correspondents dinner. Comedian Drew
Carey was on hand to provide the entertainment during the more
than three-hour event, doing standup comedy for the president
and more than 1,800 guests, including top White House adviser
Karl Rove and rock star Ozzy Osbourne.....Osbourne and his wife,
Sharon, were the guests of Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. The
couple and two of their three kids are stars of the MTV hit reality
show, The Osbournes, which chronicles the family's wacky, profane
home life. 'The thing about Ozzy is, he's made a lot of big hit
recordings - 'Party With the Animals,' 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,'
'Face in Hell,' 'Black Skies' and 'Bloodbath in Paradise',' said
the president. 'Ozzy. Your mom loves your stuff.'" Here
we see that the President of the United States invited a well
known satanist to the White House Awards dinner, and knew this
satanists abominable albums so well that he was able to quote
the title of several of them. In the 1980's, Ozzy was well known
for his concerts in which he bit off the heads of doves, he stomped
on little chicks, he poured pigs blood on the people, along with
a whole lot of other demonic acts. Several years ago I saw a
video produced by a Christian exposing rock bands. In this video
Ozzy was shown in Vancouver B. C. with an idol telling people
to give their life to satan. This man is an abomination and for
the President to lift him up is also an abomination. Jesus said
in Luke 16:15 "15 And he said unto them, Ye are they
which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in
the sight of God." In Titus 1:15-16 it says "15
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience
is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works
they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every
good work reprobate." President Bush is as Jesus said
when talking to the religious people of his day in John 8:44a
"Ye are of your father the devil".
President Bush said when speaking
to Muslims that "And I also appreciate the prayers to the
universal God."(Note 5) For two years President Bush has
held a ramadan service in the White House. President Bush has
also extended federal same-sex benefits. President Bush must
repent of his sins and stop promoting these abominations.
b) City And State Government
In Olympia, the
capital of Washington state , two lawmakers who refused to participate
in a Muslim prayer later apologized for the incident. The article
titled "Legislators Make Peace With Muslim Prayer",
subtitled "Cleric returns to worship before attentive state
House after snub"(Note 6) states "Two Republican lawmakers
who refused to participate in a Muslim cleric's opening prayer
earlier this week struck an entirely different posture when the
Imam returned to commence yesterday's session of the Washington
state House of Representatives. After the prayer by Imam Mohamad
Joban which began with a solemn singing of Quranic verses
Rep. Lois McMahan and Rep. Cary Condotta shook the cleric's
hand and apologized. Joban accepted the apologies and invited
the politicians to visit him at the Islamic Center of Olympia.....Condotta
said he thought the prayer yesterday was "great," according
to news reports. Joban said, in part, "We pray that God
guides the hearts of all good people of all faiths to see what
we all have in common and pray that it makes us a stronger community
in nation......Attendance for the opening prayer is usually spotty,
as it was Monday, the AP said, but yesterday nearly all 98 representatives
stood at their desks and listened respectfully as Joban began
his prayer." In another article titled "Lawmaker Regrets
Comments on Muslim Prayer", subtitled "Lois McMahan
asks for forgiveness, but a colleague isn't about to" (Note
7) states "The state House and Senate traditionally begin
their daily sessions with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer
offered by religious leaders of different faiths. The Associated
Ministries of Thurston County arranges the schedule." We
see from these two articles that the state government is promoting
the interfaith movement which is satan's church.
b) Governments From Other
Nations
The governments
in Singapore and England are promoting the interfaith movement.
In an article titled "Govt Reins In Religious Leaders",
subtitled "Religious harmony law was nearly used when they
were found mixing religion and politics, or criticizing other
faiths"(Note 8) it states "The Government came close
to invoking the Religious Harmony Act on a number of occasions
to stop religious leaders here from mixing politics with religion
and putting down other faiths. The religious leaders stopped
their activities after they were summoned and warned by the police
and Internal Security Department officers. Had they persisted,
the law enacted in 1990 would have been used against them, said
Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng in an interview with The
Straits Times. ....He cited the cases involving three leaders
who almost felt the Act's sting: (I will show the one dealing
with the Christian pastor). A Christian pastor was warned in
1992 because he had used his church publications and pulpit to
criticize Buddhism, Taoism and Catholicism.... Asked how religious
harmony can be maintained, he noted that Singapore's multiracial
housing and schools programmes had helped Singaporeans to be
more tolerant and sensitive. Singaporeans must know that the
Government will move in swiftly to nip the problem in the bud."
Another article titled "Four Religions Plan for Multi-faith
School Aims to Establish a Trend"(Note 9) says "The
Church of England has thrown its weight behind an extraordinary
proposal to unite Muslim, Jewish, Christian and Hindu children
in the country's first multi-faith secondary school.
The plans, backed by leading figures from all four of Britain's
main religious groupings, are aimed at transforming the image
of faith-based education which has been criticised in the wake
of last summer's race riots. They hope that the 1,000-pupil school
planned for the London borough of Westminster will be the first
of a series of similar ventures around the country. Yesterday
the church described it as a 'highly significant' development,
which will open the way to a new era in relations between Britain's
religious communities. The archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey,
has already said Anglican schools should open their doors to
children from other faiths....The Church of England was embarrassed
by the publicity, in view of its plans to open 100 new secondary
schools. Canon John Hall, head of the church's board of education,
said the plans for a multi-faith school marked the beginning
of a new era. 'The new century is going to be a time when communities
from completely different faith backgrounds work together and
understand each other better'.......Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg
from the New North London Synagogue, who has led the Jewish involvement
in the scheme, said: 'We need to have an understanding of the
ethical issues that concern us all, and the common search for
God. At the same time, children will study their own faiths very
seriously'......A spokesman for the Department for Education
said: 'It's encouraging to see different faiths working together.'"
We see from these two nations that the governments are promoting
the interfaith movement which is satan's church.
2. People Who Profess
To Be Christians Are Promoting the Interfaith movement
We are seeing what
the bible calls the falling away of the church. People well known
in the Christian community are promoting the interfaith movement.
In II Thessalonians 2:3 it says "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;" Also, in I Timothy 4:1 it says "Now
the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils;" The false unity movement is
the first step to the interfaith movement which is satan's church.
(For more information see the July/August 2000 edition of The
Prophetic Messenger newsletter and read the article titled " The One World Religion Is Here").
One famous minister who is
preaching the interfaith movement today is Bishop Carlton Pearson.
We have sent him an e-mail with a strong rebuke telling him repent
but the only noticeable change is that he changed his web site.
In an article titled "Charismatic Apostasy of Carlton Pearson"(Note
10) it states "On March 7th of 2002 Charisma News Service
announced that Carlton Pearson, well-known Charismatic preacher
in Tulsa, OK and frequent minister on TBN, had a different gospel.
Pearson said that he knew some of his views-- such as his belief
that homosexuality should be "tolerated but not celebrated"--would
raise some eyebrows, the newspaper said. "The religious
folk want these people to go to hell," he said. After that
announcement Pearson's doctrine was denounced: Three well known
black Pentecostal preachers have denounced Tulsa, Okla., pastor
Carlton Pearson's "Gospel of Inclusion," which questions
the existence of a literal hell and espouses that everyone is
already saved. (CNS 3-27-02)" In another article titled
"Keeping the Faith"(Note 11) it says "An Oklahoma
preacher whose 'Gospel of inclusion' has made his fellow clergyman
decry him as a heretic remains undaunted in his belief that everyone
is entitled to go to heaven....Muslims and other non-Christian
believers are going to heaven, Bishop Pearson says. He also preaches
there is no hell, all people are saved and Jesus Christ will
not be returning to earth. All are unpopular ideas within the
Christian faith....Seven years ago, the bishop began preaching
his 'Gospel of inclusion.' 'Jesus came to be the door to
God for everybody. I am not saying he is the only way. Muhammad
has access to God. Buddha has access to God.' ....He takes comfort
in writings by other mavericks, such as retired Episcopal Bishop
John Shelby Spong, whose book Why Christianity Must Change
or Die rejects nearly every central Christian doctrine. Bishop
Pearson calls it a 'masterpiece.' 'I am going through the
same rejections as he has,' he said. He also is listening
to New Age thinkers 'because I like what they are saying.' An
example is Neale David Walsch's Conversations With God,
which rails against organized religion and intolerance. The bishop
now is talking up TV star Oprah Winfrey, whom he calls 'the greatest
evangelist' now on earth. 'She is more like Jesus than most pastors
you will ever meet,' he said. 'She is not pushing a religion,
but she is telling people to be spiritual. She's a cutting-edge
thinker and she's touching people the way the church should but
refuses to.'" For Bishop Pearson to lift up Oprah, someone
who has been living in fornication for many years and is promoting
the interfaith movement, this is an abomination. In Titus 1:16
it says "They profess that they know God; but in works
they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every
good work reprobate." Pray for Carlton Pearson and other
ministries who are selling their souls to the devil that they
might repent before it's too late.
Another article is titled "Global
Day of Prayer Urged for Iraq Crisis", subtitled "Intercessory
network says the date -030303- has some special significance"(Note
12). In this article it says "As war with Iraq seems to
draw closer, Christians have been urged to join in a worldwide
day of prayer, next Monday. The appeal has gone out from the
World Prayer Team (WPT) network, based at the World Prayer Center
in Colorado Springs, Colo., which says that the date -030303-
seems to have some special significance. Churches and individual
Christians are being asked to set aside at least three minutes
to pray at precisely 3:33 p.m., local time." Notice the
people were asked to pray on the day 030303 at 3:33 p.m. In my
prayer time I knew there was something demonic about this and
the Lord Jesus Christ told me what this date and time really
mean. If you put the date and time together you will get the
number 666. Look a this drawing:
This is not by chance since
the Muslims and New Agers were praying at the same time. In continuing
this article it says " The WPT appeal, being circulated
widely by other prayer groups and movements, says that March
3 is also a significant date in the Muslim world, marking the
eve of the Islamic New Year and the last day of the annual pilgrimage
to Mecca. The day has also 'gained widespread notoriety in New
Age circles,' with plans for a large 'experiment into global
consciousness,' says the WPT. March 3 sees the start of Gather
the Women, a weeklong global initiative intended to 'harness
the power and wisdom of women for the benefit of all life.'"
In these last days many people are being deceived and listening
to evil spirits. We as Christians must know Jesus Christ's voice
and the Holy Bible (Old King James Version Only) as Jesus said
in Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
3. False Religions Are
Promoting the Interfaith Movement
We are seeing the leaders of false religions promoting the interfaith
movement which is satan's church. We will show three leaders,
Pope John Paul II, Dalai Lama and Rev. Moon.
a) Pope John Paul II
In 1999 we saw the pope promoting the interfaith movement. This
man has continued to promote it in every opportunity to unify
all the world religions. (For more information on this see the
July/August 2000 edition of The Prophetic Messenger newsletter
and read the article titled " The
One World Religion Is Here" and see the March/April
2002 edition of The Prophetic Messenger newsletter and read "For God Has Not Given Us The Spirit
Of Fear"). In a recent article titled "Pope: Don't
Let War Talk Divide World's Religions", subtitled "Pontiff
works to avert U.S.-Iraq conflict"(Note 13) states "Pope
John Paul said Thursday that Christians, Muslims and other faithful
should not let themselves be driven farther apart by the threat
of war in Iraq........'In fact, neither the threat of war nor
war itself should be allowed to alienate Christians, Muslims,
Buddhists, Hindus and members of other religions,' the pope said.
In another article titled "Pontiff Enters Mosque in Syria",
subtitled "John Paul's visit to a Muslim house of worship
is a first for a pope."(Note 14) states "John Paul
II became the first pope to enter a mosque Sunday, calling for
brotherhood between Christians and Muslims and stepping across
a sensitive line in his campaign for better relations among different
faiths." Also, when the pope was on tour in South America
he had an Aztec who worships the devil and practices witchcraft
perform with the pope on the stage. We see that pope is and will
continue to promote the interfaith movement which is satan's
church.
b) Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama in his tour in the United States visited many
places. We will talk about two locations: Portland, Oregon and
Salt Lake City, Utah. In an article titled "Many Faiths
Will Greet Dalai Lama , His Message", subtitled "Portland's
diverse religious communities welcome the Tibetan Buddhist's
visit as a chance to enrich their their own beliefs" (Note
15)states "These days , the world religions are present,
sometimes very visible, throughout our neighborhoods in Portland.
A mosque or a Buddhist temple is just as likely to be rising
in our city as a Methodist or Presbyterian church might have
been decades ago.... The Dalai Lama brings to us the awareness
that we're a city of many faith traditions. (Quote was from Rev.
Stephen Schneider, director of Grace Memorial Episcopal Church
in Northeast Portland). David A. Leslie, executive director of
Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, looks forward to the interfaith
conversations he's sure the Dalai Lama will inspire...... 'Ignorance
is probably one of the greatest destructive tools in the universe,'
he said. 'It doesn't take much for the fear of the other to become
tinder, kindling for an explosion. So, I talk to the Dalai Lama,
I listen to him and study Buddhism. Does that make me less of
a Christian?" We see here that two people who claim to be
Christians are in apostasy. In II Corinthians 6:14-18 it says
" 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God
with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath
said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their
God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from
among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father
unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord
Almighty." There were many events in Portland to promote
the interfaith movement. One of the most noticeable was the "interfaith
prayer service at Congregation Neveh Shalom......with music and
prayer from Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian and Native American
traditions."(Note 15) The Dalai Lama went to Salt Lake City,
Utah which is the home of the mormon church again showing how
all religions are coming together to form satan's church.
c) Rev. Moon
The Rev. Moon, the leader of a cult with great wealth, is promoting
the interfaith movement of which he himself wants to be leader.
There is much information on Rev. Moon. If you go to the internet
and go to www.google.com and type in Rev. Moon + Christian conservatives
you will be shocked on who is following this cult leader. To
see an entire article and web site links visit the following
link: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/132/33.0.html
and read the article titled "In Perspective: Why Are Pastors
Flying to Moon?"(Note 16) from Christianity Today.
In closing, we are seeing satan
use many people from all over the world to bring in the interfaith
movement which is satan's church.

Memory Verses
As Christians if we want to live in victory and if we want to
be able to share the Word Of God with others we must know the
Word of God ourselves. Let's see what the Bible says about this.
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin
against thee." Psalm 119:11. " If ye abide in me, and
my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall
be done unto you." John 15:7. "Then said Jesus to those
Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are
ye my disciples indeed." John 8:31. We encourage you to
put the following scriptures in your heart: II Kings 4:7, James
1:20, Proverbs 18:16 , Luke 18:8, Proverbs 12:1, Colossians 2:6,
Genesis 3:12, Revelation 10:7, Isaiah 40:5, John 9:6. Use only
the Old King James version of the Holy Bible. (If you have any
