Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Yes God is a Trinity. God Is One God In 3 Persons:
God the Father. God the Son (Jesus). And God the Holy Ghost / Spirit
This is Christianity 101. If you do not Believe this than you are not a Christian. You can argue but in Christian Bible Theology the #1 the First Theology Doctrine Taught is God, One God in 3 Persons.
Sure there are Numerous Churches that Claim to Be Christian that Deny Jesus is God. They Deny the Biblical Trinity.
Understand Christianity is Based on Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ is Not God than there is No Christianity. There is No Salvation. For the Bible to be True, for Salvation to be True than Jesus has to Be God. The Bible Clearly says repeatedly that Jesus is God.
The Trinity:
God the Father. God the Son. God the Holy Spirit. One God in 3 Persons.
Too many “Christians” do not understand basic Bible Facts like the Trinity.
God The Father:
The Entire Book of Genesis is About the Trinity. You cannot Read the Book of Genesis without seeing God the Father talking over and over and over again. God the Father is clearly the Narrator through Moses of the 1st Five Books of the Bible. In these five books God is speaking directly to Man, without a middleman.
The first 3 words in the Bible in the Book of Genesis is IN THE BEGINNING GOD…
Immediately God presents himself. In the Bible the Word God is used more than 500 times.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
The Bible is a very Straightforward Book. It pulls no punches. The Bible says Only a FOOL Believes there is NO GOD.
The People who Do Not SEEK God are Fools they are workers of iniquity.
God is always looking for people who seek him, people who seek God.
Fools Refuse to Believe in God. Despite All the Evidence for God. Life is Evidence of God. Life Only comes from Life. Non Life cannot become Life without God the Creator.
The extreme complexity of a single cell proves God’s existence. All Life was Designed. DNA is God’s Blueprint for every different Life Form he Created.
The Earth’s Delicate Ecosystem Proves God’s Existence. Plant Life had to Exist Before any other Life Could Exist. You Never Hear Evolutionist Talk about the Fact the Ecosystem for Life had to be in Existence as is Before any Life could Exist on the Earth.
You cannot have Plant Life without a suitable Atmosphere First. The Earth’s Entire Ecosystem is a delicate Balance. For Plants to pollinate Bees have to Exist. To have Herbivores and Carnivores you have to have Plants and Animals in existence all at the Same Time.
Evolution is not Scientific. It is not Possible for Life to have happened gradually. These Atheist Evolutionist refuse to even talk about plant life.
For a Person to Believe in God they have to Seek him. People who Seek God see God’s Presence all around them. Once You Seek God You will Find him.
Hebrews 11:6 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.
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
1st Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
You can Find God, the Trinity in Nature:
Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Psalms Chapter 19 Tells Evolutionist they are Liars. It is a verse that Says God created the Heavens and the Earth. The Firmament? The Firmament is a solid see through Dome over the entire Earth.
Verses 4-6 Says the Sun Moves. Atheist Scientist Say that the Sun is the Center of the Universe and remains stationary that the Earth Revolves around the Sun. When the Bible teaches the opposite. The Earth is Stationary and the Sun Revolves around the Earth.
The Bible Teaches the Opposite of Evolutionists:
A stationary Earth.
The Sun Revolves around the Earth.
God Created the Heavens and the Earth.
Joshua 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
Isaiah 38 6-8 6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
And when Jesus was crucified….He darkened the Sun for three hours. That doesn’t happen in an eclipse, as they usually last about six minutes. But the Church tells you it was an eclipse:
Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
The Flat earth has no conflicts with the scriptures, but the ball does have conflicts:
1st Chronicles 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Psalm 93:1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Psalm 104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Proverbs 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Job 26:10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Romans 1:20 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”
Romans 1:20 is telling us that we can see God in Nature, in the Earth, in the Universe.
The Sun shows us the Godhead the Trinity. Notice that we have invisible red heat waves—a picture of the Father. Yellow light rays that are seen—picturing the Son. Blue chemical rays that can be seen by their effect—picturing the Spirit. An even more accurate picture is the sun itself. The sun puts out alpha, beta, and gamma rays. These rays are classified as light, heat, and actinic rays. No one will deny that the sun is one unit. It is one star—
Water is an example of the Trinity. Water is Water when it is 1) Liquid 2) Gas 3) Ice.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. {rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray} 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Isaiah 9:6 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 – The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 – All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 14:9 – Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 20:28 – And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
1 Corinthians 8:6 – But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
God The Holy Spirit / The Holy Ghost:
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 16:13 – Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Acts 2:33 – Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
1st Corinthians 2:10 – But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1st Corinthians 6:19 – What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
1st Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Mankind is a Body, a Soul, and a Spirit. Just like God is 3 in 1 so is every Person. We were made in God’s image after all.
Every person is one person with 3 complete and separate identities. We all have a Body, a Soul and a Spirit.
1st Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
We were made in God’s image:
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
God’s image the 3 in 1 God.
Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
2nd Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
1st John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: {teach…: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations}
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Jesus became flesh. He left his Glory in Heaven and became a man to Save the World from the penalty of Sin.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
To Be Saved:
Believe the Gospel Only. Ask Jesus to Save You.
The Gospel:
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
At The Name Of Jesus Every Knee Should Bow, Of Things In Heaven, And Things In Earth And Things Under The Earth
Philippines Chapter 2 Is Possibly the Most Powerful Chapter in the Entire Bible. Why? Because:
Philippines 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Do You Understand Why? The Answer Is At The Name of Jesus Every Knee Will Bow, and Every Tongue Will Confess That Jesus Christ is Lord!!!
Let’s Read the Entire Passage:
Philippines 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
This Passages Makes It Clear That Jesus Is God. It Gives Us Part of the Gospel: Jesus Humbled Himself. (He God, Became a human. That is too Difficult a Concept for the human brain to Handle.) Jesus was Born to Die on the Cross to Pay the Penalty for the All of the Sins of the World.
Jesus Blood Atonement, The Gospel of our Salvation, His Sacrifice on the Cross, is the Reason Why Everyone Will:
Every Knee Will Bow, and Every Tongue Will Confess That Jesus Christ is Lord!!!
This is Powerful!!!
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Understand This, verse 18 Fits with Philippines 2:9-10.
John 3:18 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Everyone who has Died Rejecting Jesus Free Gift Of Salvation Will On Their Knees Say: JESUS IS LORD.
JESUS IS LORD:
JESUS IS LORD Is completely Twisted and Misused by Lost Cults.
Lordship Salvation Cults Love to use the Expression: JESUS IS LORD missing completely this is the Cry that Will Happen Right Before the Lost are Thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Get This FACT STRAIGHT JESUS IS LORD!!! That is a Present Statement, A FACT. You Do NOT. You CANNOT Make Jesus YOUR LORD!!! He Already Is.
Salvation Is: Believing the Gospel Only For Salvation. It is to ACCEPT Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.
A Person Goes To Hell For Rejecting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. No One Goes To Hell For Sin. Jesus Paid the Penalty For ALL The Sins of the World.
It is Simple. Accept Jesus Go To Heaven. Reject Jesus Go to the Lake of Fire Shouting Jesus Is Lord.
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Salvation the Gospel IS NOT Making Jesus The Lord of Your Life.
Repent of Sin, Turn From Sin, Surrendering Your Life To Christ, Making Jesus the Lord of Your Life Is Not The Gospel. It IS NOT how a Person is Saved!!!
Which Name Is Above All Other Names:
Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
Whose name do we call out to when we want to be saved? Jesus Name!
In whose name are we sent? In whose name do we Pray, Preach, Teach? Jesus Name!
Matt. 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
What Name have Christian Believers been Commanded to Teach and Baptize in? The same Person whom all Power in Heaven and Earth was given to. JESUS!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is the name of Jesus which is Christ, God’s Only begotten Son who came down from Heaven and became flesh.
In the Gospels and in the Book of Acts (Where the words of Jesus were being demonstrated by the Apostles and the early church.) and you will see every Water Baptism (After people had been Saved by Believing on Jesus.) of was done in the name of Jesus. As were All the Preaching, Teaching, Healings and Miracles.
Deuteronomy 28:10 “And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.”
Jesus!!! Is A Swear Word. People Curse Jesus Name Continuously. Hit their finger with a Hammer… Jesus!!! is their cry.
Jesus name is the most Attacked name in Society in the World. Why is it the most Degraded and Spat upon name around the world? Uttered as a Malignant Swear word by Millions, over and over again, every single day? Why don’t you hear the name of another god being continually down graded, Cursed? Why is not the name Yahweh being Cursed, consciously or unconsciously, by the worlds masses?
Because Jesus’ name is the most Precious name in Heaven and Earth, and should be Treasured above all names, as the only name behind the Person who rendered Satan powerless and Broke the chains of Sin and Death.
Jesus is the only name where Eternal Life and Eternal Death Hang in the balance. Deny Jesus = Eternal Death Damnation. Accept Jesus = Eternal Life. Jesus is the only name we can be Saved with.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
THERE ARE NO SUCH NAMES: YAHSHUA / Yahua / Yeshua
These names didn’t exist in biblical times and they have not existed as a genuine Hebrew name in history — until people who really didn’t understand Hebrew made them up, thinking that it somehow restored the “Yah” element (from “Yahweh”) into the Savior’s name.
While Joshua was pronounced ye-ho-shu-ah — God’s name was NEVER pronounced Yahua or the like.
A lot of people, including some Messianic Jews (Jews who believe Jesus is the Messiah), will call Jesus by a different name: Yeshua (Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ). They say that Yeshua is the Jewish name that Jesus would have been called by those who knew him. Some messianic and other groups say that Yeshua is Jesus’ real name and that the name “Jesus” is wrong. Others say it is okay to use either one. But then again, there are those who say that the word “Jesus” is pagan in origin and should not be used at all. And if that weren’t enough, some say that “Jesus” is derived from “Zeus” and really means “hail Zeus.” With all these possibilities is there a real answer to what was the Messiah’s real name? Yes, there is. It is found in the New Testament.
The New Testament was written in Greek. If there were any original documents of the New Testament written in Hebrew, we don’t have them. At best, some theorize that there might have been a gospel or two written in Hebrew. If that is the case, there is no way to know. The fact is we don’t have any Hebrew manuscripts. We only have Greek ones from that period of time.
Since what we do have is the Greek Manuscripts, it is from them that we need to find out what the Apostles wrote about Jesus. In other words, we need to make a case out of what we do have–not what we don’t have.
Doing a computer search in the Greek New Testament, the word “Jesus” occurs over 900 times. Following is a chart that lays this out.
What does the Greek actually say?
The Greek word for Jesus is Iησοῦς. It is pronounced as “eeaysoos.” When “eeaysoos” was transliterated into the English long ago, it became Jesus–the term we use in English today.
Some say that if we don’t pronounce Jesus’ name properly (either as Yeshua and or Eeaysoos), then we are in sin and serving a false god; but that accusation cannot be made from scripture. It is not the pronunciation of a word that makes us Christian or not. It is receiving the Messiah, God in flesh, by faith that makes us a Christian. Likewise, must we say “theos” when saying “God” since that is how the word is pronounced in Greek? Or what about when we call Jesus the “Savior” as in Phil. 3:20, must we pronounce the word as it is in Greek (sotare), or is it okay to use the English word “savior?”
The entire New Testament was written in Greek, and the word Jesus is the word that is used. It is not the Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ which is Yeshua. So, it is simple. Jesus is properly called Jesus.
“And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins,” (Matt. 1:21).
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,” (Mark 1:1).
“let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead–by this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 “He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the very cornerstone. 12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:10-12).
“Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,” (Rom. 1:1).
“But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone,” (Heb. 2:9).
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must shortly take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,” (Rev. 1:1).
As you can see, the New Testament uses “Jesus” as the name and not a Hebrew name. For people to say that Jesus’ real name is Yashua or Yahusha or Yahushua, etc., is just a statement of pushing an agenda and not believing the New Testament text.
False Prophets (The Religious Leaders) Forgot God’s Name:
Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.
Because God has given us His Book the Bible, with every scripture given by Divine inspiration, we only need to go to the Bible to find the Name Jesus which is above every other name, the only name by which people can be Saved.
Beware of Counterfeit Christianity:
Jude 1:4 “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Jeremiah 1:4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Everyone Please Watch the Below Video About Abortion. Please show it to anyone considering getting an Abortion. IT IS CLEAR PROOF ABORTION IS MURDER.IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING GETTING AN ABORTIONPLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO FIRST.
Based on accumulative data from the two primary sources of U.S. abortion statistics (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Guttmacher Institute), The United States has over 600,000 Abortionsperformed each year.Since 1973, we estimate more than 63 million abortions have been performed in the United States.
Based on more recent data, about 1 in 4 women (24%) will have an abortion by age 45.
Additionally, nearly half of all U.S. abortion patients are in their twenties.
Adolescents make up around 12% of abortion patients.
About 6 out of every 10 women who have an abortion (59%) already have one or more children.
51% of abortion patients were using contraception during the month they became pregnant.
It’s estimated that about half of the patients who receive an abortion pay for it out of pocket.
Christians Getting Abortions are Over 50% of All Abortions. Over half of abortion patients (54%) identify as Christian (30% Protestant, 24% Catholic).
Abortion Is The Failure Of The Christian Church:
If you believe Polling Most Polls say the USA is 75% Christian. These are people who said on the Poll that they identify as a Christian.
With a poll like that you would expect the USA would never Murder unborn Babies. I have News for you the South before and during the Civil War would have Polled nearly 100% Christian. The South were Good Southern Baptist.
“Christians” get RED FACED ANGRY when confronted with the Facts of Abortion and Slavery in the USA.
They play pass the Buck. Abortion is a Leftist Problem. Slavery was Leftist Democrats. Well I will give you that the Slavery in the South was Leftist Democrats. But there is Still The Problem that these Leftist Democrats were Good Southern Baptists.
When Numbers Do Not ADD Up there is a Problem.
I have a lot of Education in Quality Engineering, in Electronics. When something Does Not Work the Numbers Just Do Not ADD Up. When this happens you have to completely reevaluated and look at everything again.
SlaveryIN NO WAY IS Christian. The reevaluation is: Southern Baptists are Not Saved.
AbortionIN NO WAY Is Christian. The reevaluation is: People who say they are Christian are Mostly, by a Huge Number, Not Christians.
Abortion IS STILL The Failure of the Christian Church
Actual Christian Women have Abortions.
How To Prevent Abortions Within Your Church?
Pastor’s Need To Teach That Abortion is a Sin, It Is MURDER.
Father’s and Mother’s Need to Teach their Children (Around the age of 13) That Abortion Is A Sin Is Murder.
Churches have Prayer lines. Christian Counseling. Offer a lot of Services to the Church members and to the Public.
All Churches should have a Class on Parenting offered to people starting at the Age of 13. Abortion Is Murder Should be part of this Class.
Also The Pastor should get the Parents permission to Have an Open Line of Communication with the Children. See Children will talk to Other People before they ever will talk to their Parents. A young adult should be able to talk with the Pastor about sensitive things that they are afraid to talk with their Parents about. Like getting Pregnant.
Father’s and Mother’s need to Get it INTO THEIR HEADS that a Pregnant Daughter needs Love Not Anger. Sadly a good amount of Father’s and Mother’s will Have the Baby Aborted so as not to bring Shame on their Family. I have News For Those Parents They Have More than Shame They Are Murderers.
Maybe if the Parents had done their job as parents their Daughter would not have gotten Pregnant. For Boys that Get Young Women Pregnant they need the Same Talks the Parents give to their Daughter.
I am Not Talking About Birth Control (Kids should be taught Safe Sex and the Use of Condoms. Not as a Green Light for Sex. But Because it is irresponsible Not to Teach Safe Sex to your Kids.) I am talking about Not Having Sex until Marriage.
Like Divorce the Rate of Abortions is the Same for Christians and for Non Christians. So obviously the Church and Parents are Failures on the Issue of Abortion.
Believe or Not Some Corrupt Fake Christian Churches think Abortion is Not Murder:
Many IFB Churches Believe this because of the False Teachings of Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. He Falsely Taught that a Baby is Not a Life. He said it is just a bunch of cells… He said a Lot of Wicked things on this subject.
His text verse is:
Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
Using only This Verse Ruckman declared God gave him a Special Revelation that Life does not Begin until a Baby breaths the God given Breath of Life.
Like All Cults Ruckman invented his own False Doctrines using one verse or several which he twisted to his own Destruction.
Ruckman has to throw out the Bible to Teach Abortion is Not Murder.
The obvious thing is Adam was a Special Creation. Not unlike Spiritual Beings God Created individually. Angels Are all Male and they do not Reproduce. Every Angel in the Bible has always been male. Every Angel that appeared in the Bible was a Man. If there were Male and Female Angels the Bible would have certainly told us this.
Before Adam was Given Life by God there was No Human Life. Once God created Human Life. Male and Female, Adam and Eve. God Gave them the Gift to Reproduce Life.
A Scientific Fact is that Only Life can Reproduce Life. So to Say that a Baby alive in it’s Mother’s Womb has to take a Breath before God has Given it Life is just a Lie. There are many Bible verses where God Declares that a Baby in the Mother’s Womb is alive.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
What Does the Bible Say About Abortion:
Psalms 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Isaiah 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
Exodus 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Luke 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Ecclesiastes 11:5 “As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.”
Psalms 22:10 “I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.”
Psalms 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
This passage in Psalms Chapter 106 is directly talking about Abortion. Shedding (Sacrificed to Idols) the Innocent Blood of their own Sons and Daughters The Jews were offering their Babies their little Children to False Idols from the People who lived in Canaan. Baal Worship was one of these False Idols.
Abortion is Clearly Murder, Children Sacrificed to Satan. People Do NOT want to Hear this. It is just the Simple Biblical Truth.
Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
Churches and Parents Need To Memorize All of these Verses and teach them to their Children. If Children are correctly taught the Bible when they are Young they will get Saved when they are Old Enough. They are a lot less likely to have Sex before Marriage. And a Lot Less Likely to have an Abortion, suggest that a Woman have an Abortion.
Parents need to always be Loving and Kind to their Children. Too many Parents think being Loud, Shouting at their Kids about everything is Parenting. Not to Mention Beating them for Everything under the Sun that they do.
Yes a lot of Christian Parents are very Abusive to their Children. “Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child.” Does Not Give Parents the Green Light to use the Rod for every and all perceived offense their Children commit. God certainly Always shows Mercy to Us. There is a time for the Rod. There is also a time to talk to your Children about their behavior and figure out way they are behaving the way they are.
If Parents treat their Children Decently they are more Likely to come to them when they get in Trouble like Getting Pregnant. If a Son come to you and tells you that he got his Girlfriend Pregnant. That is not the time to Blow your Top. That is the time to Thank Your Son for telling you and to get important information.
If possible it would be Good to get them both together and talk about it. Get both Families together and never Let Abortion be an Option. This is the Same way a Daughter should be treated in this situation.
Another Big Thing Do Not Force these Kids into Marriage. Maybe Marriage is the Right Thing. But you Do Not want a Marriage solely because of a Pregnancy.
The Gospel: 1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ezekiel 28:13 “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.”
This combined with other verses tells us that Lucifer, Satan, The Devil was the Head Musician in Heaven. He was the Covering Cherub, this was the Highest Position in Heaven other than God. “…the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes…” These are Musical Instruments.
The Bible Shows how Music is Used to Worship God. For Countless Years Lucifer Lead the Musical Worship in Heaven. The Worship of God. Somehow He Turned Evil. He Fell Because of His PRIDE, his VANITY, He Fell in Love with HimSelf.
This is what Satan Does to mankind. He Fills people with Pride, Vanity, The Love of Self. People want to Be Famous, Be Rock Stars to Fulfill this Dream. They think they can Sell their Soul to the Devil in exchange for Rock Stardom. Many Rock Stars Claim they Did.
Satan Tricked them because he cannot Buy a person’s Soul. He is NOT GOD.
Satan-Worshiping is Happening During Music Events / Concerts:
The Below Videos Exposes CCM Contemporary Christian Music:
I included the above Videos because when you are talking about the Music industry it is essential to see and hear what they are doing.
People become very attached to their Idols and will Blindly Defend them. They refuse to listen to any critical analysis.
What music is Christian? Should an artist who sings Christian music actually be a Christian? Yes, otherwise they are pushing Lies.
Most people in CCM market themselves to the public as a Devout Christian. Many are found to be a Frauds. Knowing this fact shouldn’t Christians examine the entire Christian Music Industry?
CCM accepts anyone who that they can market as a Christian into the fold. These people do not have to be Christians. Their PR team will teach them how to Act Christian. Does this Really Happen? Yes it does. This is true for all Main Steam Music. The PR team will mold people to being a Country Star, a Rock Star etc.. There are actually many Hollywood movies that show this process. Marketing Music is All about creating and maintaining the required image to Sell the Music.
With Auto-tune, virtually anyone can become a Star in the Music Industry. I mean they are so Good at what they do they have the ability to make Stars. The Label will find the Songs for you to Sing and do everything necessary if you have the Look they want.
I do not want to act like there are Not Genuine people in the Music Industry. There are possibly 25% or so Genuine Singer, Song Writers, Musicians etc.., in the Mainstream Music Industry. People like this get pushed out of the Industry. Because there are people behind the scenes who are funding the Music. These people want to push their own Ideology. A Satanic Ideology. I have seen many of these people complain on video about having been pushed out of the Industry.
The Music Industry Is Full of Satan Worship:
Edward Morgan Explains the Music Industry:
June 14, 2019 Edward Morgan: If you believe that the music and entertainment industry is there simply to entertain us and make money in the process for its artists, promoters and producers, please think again.
Popular music especially and its highly-paid exponents are merely pawns of the Elite and are there in order to further manipulate our minds – especially those of impressionable youth and now even young children.
There is a long history of manipulation in the music industry, going back many, many years. The music ‘business’ itself has actually been around since medieval times, but can only be referred to as a true ‘industry’ since the early nineteenth century with the simultaneous developments of the orchestra, the employment of conductors and certain publishing and printing innovations that allowed music to be easily transcribed, passed-on from person to person and to be sold as sheet music.
In the early eighteenth century, there is recorded to have been around 8500 composers of music in Europe alone and yet around 8400 of them, despite the fact that their music may have been brilliant or innovative, have never had their music extensively published or played, other than in small, localized concert halls and much of it is today now long-forgotten, lost or deliberately buried. Why should this be? Mainly because, as today, the music industry then had its favorites and certain personalities including the likes of Mozart, who whilst feted as a celebrity of his time, probably did not compose much of the music attributed to him then and since.
Mozart was simply a manufactured ‘focal point’ in effect, upon which the money-interests of the music business of the time could focus and from whom it could derive its profits, as was Beethoven. This may well sound cynical and possibly unbelievable, but I can assure you that it is true. How similar to today then? Today’s music industry is rife with such characters, people who have been chosen and indeed ‘created’ to be focal points and the personalities, celebrities if you will, who carry the burden of providing profits for an intensely money-focused industry, ultimately regardless of the degree of talent they may or may not possess.
Musical history does not wish us to be aware of this fact; it just wishes to continue to promote the popular icons of the day, focusing on an artificially generated, elite group of composers who with the passage of time have been placed on pedestals and thus made immortal, just as many famous rock stars have been made the ‘saints’ of the new religion that is music, today.
The involvement of occultists in the creation of the ‘superstars’ of their day, such as Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn, cannot be ignored. Indeed the occult influence in music has always been a factor and today is absolutely rife throughout the whole of the music industry.
There is also a long history of connectivity from music to mind control going back to the 1950s when ‘pop music’ in its present form was first pushed upon an unsuspecting world by the mass-manipulators of the Frankfurt School and the Tavistock Institute and many performers, singers and members of bands are manipulated into promoting a satanic agenda by recording labels and producers who are also ‘up to their eyes’ in the deadly scheme. Is it at all artistic for people to sing about pain, suffering, death, sadness and despair in such quantities and who would want to taint the formerly beautiful art of music with such things? It is actually an essential aspect of the latter-day degeneration of music and the lowering of consciousness. This works in the same vein as film and television programmers that seem to have now evolved into excessively depressing and/or violent experiences for the viewer, even for very young children who are being increasingly exposed to overt sex and violence and when those few who still actually care about such things complain or point it out they are often labeled as a ‘prude’ or ‘old-fashioned’. Often today music is excessively depressing, replete with songs contain lyrics extolling the virtues of extreme selfishness, greed, violence, death, suicide and murder. And this is not just in heavy metal (the previous chief culprit) any longer but has now been expanded to all forms of modern music even the ‘middle of the road’ ballads aimed at the younger, more impressionable generation. Even fun ‘children’s’ pop music, the likes of which our children and grandchildren listen to all the time, is not immune and is often riddled with overt, sexually explicit and satanic and occult lyrics.
Interestingly, a huge number of artists have commented publicly and even composed songs about literally ‘selling their souls’ to the devil to further their musical careers. Many well-known rock artists are well-versed in the occult and are aware that spiritual entities and multidimensional ‘demons’ can manifest themselves through music of a lower vibrational nature. They have admitted that they use rock music and the rhythms, the lower guttural tones, and their insidious lyrics to lower the vibrational levels of concerts and thus their attendees. They have also even admitted countless times that they are possessed by their own music and have little control over where these vibrations lead them. This is typical of almost any satanic ‘ritual’ or practice; the lowering of consciousness and allowing lower vibrational entities to control a person. These practices often lead to complete loss of control and it was well known to the people at the last Woodstock anniversary concert that a form of ‘bad energy’ had manifested itself throughout the huge audience following many hours and days of extremely heavy, depressive and violent songs.
This information emanates from many sources; there have been many books written and several films made on the subject and many well-known artists have been exposed and even admitted themselves that this is taking place. However, the idea that rock music is a tool of the ‘devil’ has been pushed so relentlessly by religious leaders and evangelists that people are now more often likely to laugh at or mock the idea, rather than take it seriously. Nevertheless, well-known musicians are often reported as admitting to the practice of Satanism and their friends or colleagues will often mention that they have multiple personalities and that ‘what you see on the stage is not really that person’.
Unfortunately, rock and pop music has become mostly a grossly degenerative art form. Some musicians are exempt from this tag, but the music industry contributes to this view generally by actually enhancing and promoting the popularity of the ‘heaviest’ bands or the most emotionally depressing artists. The rock music of today is several magnitudes darker and more depressing than Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other well-known ‘devil-rockers’ of past decades and at the time these bands were considered the very epitome of evil by the deeply religious. Heavy metal music has now become almost completely demonic per se and many performers revel in this fact, openly flaunting it. It is devolution of society and the art of music for the purpose of lowering the vibration of the consciousness in order to manipulate the youth of today into fulfilling the purposes of the Elite. It is, in short the next baby-step on the road to the complete undermining of human society and the human psyche in order to exert control over minds.
As I say, many artists are aware of this and some became aware of the fact that they have been manipulated by the music industry or began to recollect memories of their brainwashing, either through the military or through ‘handlers’ who often happen to be their manager. These are often the artists we know to have so famously died by ‘drug overdose’ or have suffered other strange deaths. Many of these artists have either confided before their deaths in individuals who would later relay this information to those behind the scenes in the music industry or indeed may even ‘go public’ with their knowledge as did Michael Jackson shortly before his untimely demise at the hands of his ‘doctor’. Jackson had been telling anyone and everyone during the period prior to his death that the CEO of Sony, Tommy Mottola (who by the way virtually owned Jackson body and soul, if not actually literally) was ‘the devil incarnate’. A metaphor or figure of speech? Maybe, maybe not.
The deeper that one delves into this murky pit, the more one realizes that the ‘musical greats’ are often occultists with exceptional talent and who are intentionally using that talent to manipulate the consciousness of listeners. However, I also believe that many of the ‘household-name’ musicians early in their careers are lured into a subtle trap baited with money and fame but then once their handlers in the recording companies completely sink their claws and teeth into them, they realize that they are caught, with no possible escape route and thus are condemned to continue with their charade for the rest of their careers, which often ends prematurely for one reason or another. The premature end to musical careers can and does occur for several reasons. Obviously, there are some genuine cases of accidental drug overdoses, but I am equally sure that some of these are murders and some suicides. But in any case we should also then ask the question as to why drug overdose and suicide (murder?) is so prevalent among this group of people?
There is so much information on this topic that could be included, that to do it justice would really justify a book in its own right. The number of examples of the satanic nature of the entertainment business is truly staggering and so we will concentrate on a few specific examples and events, but please bear in mind that this is only the tiniest sliver of ice on top of the very tip of an extremely large iceberg.
Premature death seems to be an occupational hazard amongst so-called celebrities in all fields. Again there are many reasons for this, some of them even genuine ones, but there are also many suspicious ones, some of them extremely suspicious bordering on the blatantly obvious. As stated above, Michael Jackson would fall neatly into that particular category, as would Whitney Houston who died shortly before my writing of this article in early 2012 and as the most recent incidents tend to be the ones that are freshest in the mind, let us concentrate on that particular one.
“It’s a very predictable pattern that happens with all famous artists. They become valuable commodities. If they were shares, you would see Bay Street buying them up and fundamentally, it’s the realization that it’s the end of the artist’s productivity, that they won’t produce anything more that sparks the buying frenzy.” Theo Peridis, professor of strategic management at York University
Regarding Whitney Houston’s sad demise (11th February 2012) and as with any other recently deceased ‘megastar’, it is a fact that the record company stood to gain massively in terms of vastly increased sales, albeit short-term. However how much better for them to have a short, one-off major boost than a long, lingering virtually profit-less demise to any artist’s career?
The 2012 Grammy Awards took place shortly after the sudden, mysterious death of Whitney Houston. As the old tradition would have it, the show went on nevertheless, but not without an abundance of strange symbolism and ritualism that made it extremely clear that there is a definite ‘dark side’ to the entertainment business.
Upon retrospective analysis of the facts surrounding Whitney Houston’s death coupled with the symbolic elements of the 2012 Grammy awards, the entire event has the look and feel of an occult ritual, complete with a blood sacrifice, a celebration and even a ‘re-birth’. Some of the things described below were pre-planned, while others were possibly just odd coincidences. Let us now examine the most significant events that happened during the fateful weekend of Houston’s death.
Whitney Houston’s untimely death is strikingly similar to many other celebrity ‘sacrifices’. Accounts of strange events before the death, the bizarre behavior of the so-called authorities when the death was discovered, conflicting reports, the vagueness surrounding the cause of the death and last but not least, a typical response from the music industry via the Grammy’s ‘ceremony’. Her case indeed followed the same pattern as several other celebrity deaths that were blamed on drug excesses, despite much conflicting, albeit circumstantial evidence to the contrary. As was the case for other celebrities, the controlled media almost immediately began a campaign depicting Whitney as a hopeless drug addict. Maybe she was a drug addict, but if so, that is probably just a convenient side-issue, a symptom of the true killer of Whitney, ie. the much vaunted entertainment industry itself.
As with the recent cases of Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy and many others too numerous to mention, going back through the years, bizarre events both preceded and followed the death of Whitney Houston and after even a cursory examination of those events, it is impossible not to ponder as to whether her death (and the others) was truly an accident or a deliberate ‘sacrifice’ planned and undertaken by hidden hands? The majority of mainstream media sources have emphasized the drugs connection ad nauseam but several, more reliable sources have revealed other details that may provide evidence for an alternative view of the situation.
At the Beverley Hilton where Whitney Houston died, in the ballroom several floors below her suite of rooms at the time of her death, there was a ‘pre-Grammys’ party in full-swing. As the news broke regarding her death, Whitney was still lying there in her room in her fourth floor suite. She had been discovered dead in her bath, but it is unclear exactly by whom as there were several people in her suite at that time (3.50pm local time). Her body was not moved out until shortly before the party ended around midnight.
What has not been made public (at least in the mainstream) is that at around 11pm, paramedics were called again and security services and police also rushed to the scene and a medical-type wheelchair with restraints was also wheeled-in as Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Kristina had become hysterical and paramedics were on the point of removing her to the hospital. Why should this happen, at least seven hours after Whitney’s death? Very strange indeed.
Also, at 2.30am during the night immediately preceding Whitney’s death, a man in a 3rd floor room immediately beneath her suite complained that water was cascading into his room from above. This was no mere trickle this was a full-blown gushing of water. He called security and accompanied them upstairs to see for himself what on earth was going-on. According to this man, it was the bathtub that was overflowing but he noticed that a large-screen television had also been smashed.
Significant or not, neither of these incidents were reported by the mainstream media at the time or as far as I know, since the event and from an organization that usually picks-up on the most trivial of incidents and blows them out of all proportion, I have to say I find that fact more than a little strange, to say the least.
So as it turned-out then, there was a party in full-swing going on three floors below Whitney’s body whilst it just lay there for hours on end. Is this not more than a little distasteful especially given the fact that many of the attendees were Whitney’s close colleagues and friends and acquaintances in the music business? Why was it not simply canceled out of respect for her death or was there some kind of warped thrill to be had in partying-on below the dead body? Could it even have been part of some sick ritual or ceremony? It would not surprise me in the least, given the track record of these people.
Immediately before Whitney’s death, in another strange occurrence, she had been seen fraternizing with a person who had also been hanging around Michael Jackson through his last few months alive and in the hours leading up to his death. This man goes by the name of Raffles van Exel (a pseudonym if ever I heard one). He apparently is from Amsterdam in Holland and has also been known to use the aliases of Raffles Dawson and Raffles Benson. He was present in Whitney’s suite of rooms at the time of her demise and apparently appeared downstairs in the hotel lobby shortly thereafter wearing aviator-type sunglasses and ostentatiously weeping and wailing. His usual entourage was there with him, including Quinton Aaron, a Hollywood B-grade movie actor and despite his terrible shock at Whitney’s death he still somehow managed to force himself to attend the party in the ballroom. He was bearing Whitney’s entry ticket in his hand when he entered the room to what was apparently an outpouring of sympathy, but obviously not enough sympathy to actually halt the party.
A security guard confirmed that Exel had been hanging around Whitney for a few days and was actually pictured standing behind her as she emerged from a nightclub earlier that week, looking confused and disorientated. So who really is this Exel character? He apparently was to be seen hanging around Michael Jackson and his family and friends during Jackson’s child molestation trial also. No-one really seems to know who he is for sure, but he is often seen and pictured around celebrities.
Exel claims to own several companies including Raffles Entertainment and also claims to be the manager of Chaka Khan. There are a multitude of photos of him on the Internet posing with almost everyone who is anyone. He apparently does not respond to any emails or phone messages to his published contact points and thus very much remains the archetypal ‘mystery man’.
So, was Exel an instrumental part in Whitney’s death in any way and had she become persona non gratis to the Elite’s music industry in some way? Was she becoming ‘out of control’ or ‘losing’ her programming perhaps? It has been reported that she had had premonitions about her own demise (where have we heard this before?) and shortly before her death she allegedly passed a note to her friend, the singer, Brandy who flatly refused to reveal its contents, other than to ambiguously state that ‘Whitney meant everything to me. She’s the reason that I sing’.
There is also an occult/numerology connection to Houston’s death, in this case a connection with the number 11. In occult rites the number 11 is a master number as it cannot be reduced and because it exceeds the number 10 (regarded as perfection) by 1, it is also linked to black magic and ‘bad vibrations’. Kabbalists tend to associate this number with transgression of the law, sorcery and possibly significantly, martyrdom.
It is also linked to sacrifice. For example, 9/11, the twin towers looked like a large number 11 and Remembrance/Veterans Day the 11/11 at the 11th hour. There is yet another link to consider and that is concerning Lady Gaga (another mind-controlled MK Ultra slave) and previous Grammy awards ceremonies. Gaga had close links to the fashion designer, Alexander Mac Queen who was strongly involved with the occult and mind control and who himself died on the 11th February 2010, exactly two years to the day before Houston. Could it also be significant that Whitney Houston’s room number the day that she died, was 434 which in numerology equates to 4+3+4 =11. Again, certainly food for thought.
At the Grammy awards ceremony in 2011, Lady Gaga said, “I need to thank Whitney Houston. I wanted to thank Whitney, because when I wrote ‘Born this Way’, I imagined she was singing it because I wasn’t secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar. So, Whitney, I imagined you were singing ‘Born This Way’ when I wrote it.”
‘Born this Way’, surprise of surprises was released on the 11th February 2011, exactly one year to the day before Whitney’s death. Significant? Most certainly, I would venture to suggest. It is highly likely that Gaga (or more likely her controllers) in conjunction with Houston’s, planned it all very carefully. Gaga’s outfit for the 2012 awards was all-black, possibly symbolically signifying death?
Celine Dion was extraordinarily quick in apportioning the blame for Whitney’s death. During a TV interview shortly after the event, she blamed the bad influence of the industry and even stated the need to be ‘afraid’ of it and its over-reaching influence.
“It’s just really unfortunate that drugs, bad people or bad influence took over. It took over her dreams. It took over her love and motherhood. When you think about Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse, to get into drugs like that, for whatever reason, is it because of the stress and bad influence? What happens when you have everything? What happens when you have love, support, the family, motherhood? You have responsibilities of a mother and then something happens and it destroys everything. That’s why I don’t do parties and I don’t hang out. That’s why I’m not part of show business. We have to be afraid. I’ve always said you have to have fun and do music and you can never be part of show business because you don’t know what it’s going to get you into. You have to do your work and get out of there.” Celine Dion
“I think we all, as artists, because we’re highly sensitive people and this machine around us, this so-called ‘music industry,’ is such a demonic thing. It sacrifices people’s lives and their essences at the drop of a dime … I had a manager once say to me, ‘You know you’re worth more money dead than alive’.” Chaka Khan
Are Chaka Khan’s references to ‘demonic’ and ‘sacrifices’, to be taken literally? Judging by the symbolism at the Grammy awards and the strangeness surrounding Whitney Houston’s death and that of many others down the years, it would certainly appear so.
Please understand however that the above events are just one example and one tiny pinprick on the finger-tip of the very large body of evidence linking show business to the satanic arts. Many, many artistes are said to be involved in this whole charade, many knowingly but nevertheless unable to escape its clutches for fear of the Michael Jackson / Whitney Houston experience befalling them and many unknowingly through subtle mind-control techniques as described previously in this book.
The presence of occult, satanic and Illuminati/free masonic symbolism throughout the whole entertainment industry is rife, to say the very least.
During the 1950s and 60s, occult practices were slowly but surely absorbed into popular music and today the industry literally thrives by using an outward spectacle of occult and satanic rituals and symbolism. The entire music and entertainment industry is an important indoctrination tool used by and for the Elite and many musicians are introduced to Satanism and occultism. Today, the most popular musicians, such as for example, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears are totally controlled by the occult and the music industry and Hollywood are fixated by Black Magic and Witchcraft. Music has always been associated with the occult and can be effectively used as a tool for programming minds.
Satanism and the occult are also known to specifically extract energy from humans who are manipulated into trances. Throughout the twentieth century and now into the twenty-first, music has been manipulated from its initial state of innocence, goodness and wholesomeness to become in many cases, downright vile and nasty. Throughout the world many people, especially the 10-30 age range are listening to vacuous, emotionally-numbing and trance-inducing negatively-vibrational music and demonic lyrics, which at one time were uniquely present within heavy metal rock, but now seem to emanate from and be present in all genres.
‘Rock and Roll’ originally emerged as a defined musical style in the United States in the early to mid-1950s. It is descended directly from the rhythm and blues music of the 1940s, which itself developed from earlier blues, jazz and swing music and was also influenced by gospel, country and western and traditional folk music. Rock and Roll in turn gave birth to ‘rock music’ in general and over the last fifty years the individual musical genres have expanded greatly, presumably in order to cater for everyone’s individual tastes and ensure that no-one escapes the net.
It is extremely important to identify which types of music are harmful to the human psyche and which are negative. The vast majority of pre-1950s music calibrates in our consciousness as positive and positive consciousness in turn creates high levels of confidence and a healthy self-esteem. This cannot be said however of a vast majority of post 1950s music, especially from the 1980s on-wards. Its insidious influence on our psyches has no doubt left its mark on us all to a greater or lesser degree and there is no doubt that certain songs, artists and lyrics contribute in some way, however large or small, to the huge increase in suicide among the under 25 age groups, which stands at record levels and is no doubt welcomed enthusiastically by the Elite in line with their stated policy of huge population reduction.
Indeed, music has a very strong, very definite physiological and psychological effect on people, especially the more impressionable among us. Dis-harmonic, discordant and cacophonous music engenders a number of negative behaviors, although those affected are often unaware of the extreme effect it is having upon them.
When Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones wrote the song ‘Sympathy for the Devil’, in the 1960s, this was one of the first examples of Satanism in rock music. To many observers, the occult and Satanism began to expand its influence through such bands as Led Zeppelin and even the Eagles a band which is generally regarded as being ‘soft’ rock oriented. And so the Elite now performs its satanic rituals upon us all, via our favorite musicians and through all the dozens of pop music TV channels that exist today and also their contrived, highly ritualistic awards ceremonies in front of millions of deluded viewers.
The American researcher and author, David McGowan in his serialized Internet story, ‘The Strange Story of Laurel Canyon’, relates how most of the popular musicians and entertainers in the 1960s had some connection to the American military and thus to the myriad of intelligence networks. He tells the totally credible story of how these artists were ‘artificially’ brought to prominence at this time and describes the strange goings-on around the music scene in those days and the insidious influence that these people and their suspect connections had on the music of that period and henceforward from that time.
In 1985, the New Solidarity newspaper, which has since been closed-down by the US federal government, conducted an interview with Hezekiah Ben Aaron, who at the time was the third-ranking member of the Church of Satan. In this interview, Aaron revealed that it was his ‘Church’ that started such heavy-metal genre rock groups as Black Sabbath, The Blue Oyster Cult and many others. The Church of Satan was then headed by its high priest, Anton LaVey but many people believe that LaVey, was just a front man for the real high priest, Kenneth Anger, the man who had been responsible for introducing the Rolling Stones to the occult.
It is a fact that the human brain thinks at a rate of approximately eight thoughts per second and that the eyes see 20 to 30 separate actions per second, but the brain only uses eight of these to send to the conscious mind. The subconscious absorbs the rest, subliminally and indiscriminately.
However, most live musical performances incorporate video screens with their music at 30 frames per second at the standard American television resolution but they color eight of the 30 frames differently. They choose which ones we think consciously about and which are just subconsciously absorbed as programming. Hollywood has used this trick, invented originally by Disney, for many years. It is now illegal in television commercials and regarded as subliminal advertising, which, as most people know is an extremely powerful conditioning tool.
The ‘eight per second’ frequency is also used by bass tones or bass drums or lights or all together, in a concert or live-show setting and this has the same effect upon the brain as does hypnosis. That is it fragments analytical thoughts so that certain mispronounced or difficult to understand lyrics are immediately absorbed by the subconscious mind. If we then add in a mix of illegal drugs and fake (or even real) sacrificial blood, create a circle with a pentagram using the stage lights and positions of the musicians within it, place large speakers in strategic positions for 13 separate points of origin of musical sound, altogether this constitutes a bona fide ‘Black Mass’ replete with ‘sacred geometry’.
So we have now seen how pop culture is filled with occult and masonic symbolism. The Illuminati symbolism apparent in Gaga’s stage and TV appearances is utterly blatant and is becoming so transparent that analyses almost become a simple statement of the obvious. Her whole persona, whether it is an act or not, is a tribute to mind control, freemasonry and the occult where being vacuous, compliant, incoherent and simply absent-minded is manipulated into being a ‘fashionable’, desirable state.
Incorporated in the videos, photos and shows of Lady Gaga and many other pop icons, is symbolism that refers explicitly to the Elite and to mind control. This symbolism is deep, esoteric and even pseudo-spiritual and whilst millions of young people imitate Gaga’s gestures, her act is part of a much bigger picture that includes many other ‘stars’ displaying and promoting the same overt symbolism. ‘Lady Gaga’ is in fact a fake persona, a manufactured Illuminati puppet, created to unduly influence the impressionable youth of today and to indoctrinate them into the insidious ways of the Elite. In this she is not alone, by far the vast majority of the mainstream music industry is also under their deceptive spell.
Rock Music, Country Music, Fake Christians Amy Grant and Lauren Daigle are in Support of the LGBTQIA+ Community
Contemporary Christian Music is Just as bad as the Rest of the Music Industry:
I cannot cover every CCM Artist. Just being signed to a CCM label means they are NOT Saved. To Sign you have to be compromised, you have to Push Works Salvation, or Universalism the False Teaching everyone goes to Heaven. The People running CCM are Atheists, the same people who run the Rock, Country Music, etc…
Casting Crowns, Hillsong Worship, Elevation Worship, they all tour like any other Rock Group. The poster is for their last tour together. Their Songs all Teach Works Salvation, or Universalism like some of Casting Crown’s Songs. They are just after Fame and $$$.
Casting Crowns Teaches Universalism:
Casting Crowns is very Dangerous teaching Universal Salvation. they are Baptist, but seriously that means nothing. They Falsely Believe all roads lead to Heaven. Their most recently tour was with Hillsong Worship and Elevation Worship. They Worship Satan, if you want to know the Truth. Just Three Rock Groups pushing Works Salvation and getting Rich.
Universalism Lyric “God is going to save the world. He’s going to win.”
(Excuse Me Jesus has Already WON. He DEFEATED, DEATH, HELL AND SATAN. When he Died for All the Sins of the World and Rose from the DEAD. No one Goes to Hell for Sin. Jesus did not Die to Just Let everyone into Heaven. To Be Saved A person has to Believe the Gospel Only for their Salvation, Accept Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. People Go to Hell for Rejecting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.)
This Song teaches Universalism, which is entirely contrary to Scripture. God wants all men to be saved indeed (2 Pet 3:9) but the vast majority will not (Matt 7:13-14). Practically no one will be Saved (Lk 13:23-24) and its largely due to this sort of Counterfeit “Christianity” presented by wolves like Mark Hall, who attempt to enter the sheepfold by another way (Jn 10:1-5).
The Top people overseeing (The people I am talking about are in Charge of the Music Labels.) CCM are the same people who oversee Rock and Country Music. So it should come as No Surprise that the people the Label pick up will comply with everything the Record Label Demands.
Seriously “Christian” Rock? Heavy Metal Christian Music? Christian Rap? People who Believe this are either Lost or Mentally Ill.
Stryper, Raze, Jaci Velasquez, Carmen, DC Talk, Plus One, News Boys, The Rock, are these people, groups Christian? Evanescence was heavily promoted by CCM magazines as a Christian Group. Until in Entertainment Weekly (April 18, 2003) the group said we are not a Christian Group.
Many CCM artists have denounced Jesus, Christianity and admitted they were only in Christian Music for the money. Sex scandals, Drug addictions have plagued the Christian Music Industry for decades….
Too many people get upset when something they Love is called into question. Instead of looking at the information they dismiss it without even considering it. I get many people who want to argue with me…, but they don’t even open my videos or read my Posts / Blogs. They lecture me, from Ignorance telling me I am wrong… Wrong about what? They don’t even know, because they rejected my Post from the title alone.
Amy Grant’s Bio:
Amy Lee Grant (born November 25, 1960) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, author, media personality and actress, best known for her Christian music. Amy Grant’s career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six GRAMMY® Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.
So you can say that Amy Grant succeeded in getting her Wish. She wanted Fame, Fortune, and to be a Rock Star she accomplished all of that. Her personal net worth is reported at 55 Million Dollars as of today.
Amy Grant has been referred to as “The Queen of Christian Pop.” She made her debut as a teenager, and gained fame in Christian music during the 1970s and 80’s with such hits as “Father’s Eyes,” “El Shaddai”, and “Angels”. In 1986, she scored her first number one charting Billboard Hot 100 hit song in a duet with Peter Cetera The Next Time I Fall. During the 1980s and 1990s, she became one of the first CCM Artists to cross over into mainstream Pop on the heels of her successful albums Unguarded and Heart in Motion, the latter of which included the number-one single “Baby Baby.”
Amy Grant represents the Wicked Music Industry as a Hugely successful Star. She Exploits Music and Jesus name to make millions of dollars. She is leading people young and old away from Biblical Truth and into Apostasy.
The industry is owned and controlled by the occult, clearly evidenced by all the occult symbolism on CCM album covers. Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) bridges a gap between God and the world.
Lauren Daigle is the New Wannabe, Amy Grant:
Amy Grant (She is Church of Christ which is a Cult not a Christian Church) and Lauren Daigle are Frauds. Neither are Christian. Understand I am not saying you are not a Christian if you like their music. Most of their songs are not really in question. They are in question for their Highly Sexual appearance and history, why they sing CCM.
Lauren Daigle only turned to Christian music because she Failed to make it in Rock Music. Amy Grant started singing Christian music so she could become a Rock Star. They pull Christians into Lusting after Sex. Amy Grant and Lauren Daigle, became Sex Symbols.
Amy Grant admits she used Sex to sell Music. Both are telling Christians there is Nothing Wrong with Homosexuality, that God is a Woman They and many other CCM Artist push Anti Christian Ideology. Their goal is to Water Down the Christian Church and to make Sin Not Sinful.
Amy chose Wealth and Fame. To push her new Rock / Pop Star image she Bragged about Drinking Beer, Smoking Pot, and Dressing Sexy. “I have this goody, goody image. So when I went backstage looking for drugs I could never find any because everyone would hide them from me. That made me mad.” In truth people did supply Amy with the Drugs she wanted during that time. She reportedly developed a drug problem.
Amy Grant’s so-called ‘music video’ ‘BABY, BABY’ looks more like a video about 101 Sexual Positions than an actual music video. Like a little child, a Spoiled Brat, she publicly Whines about people who are “JUDGING AMY!”
Of course Christians get upset when Amy behaves like a Slut and openly admits dressing Sexy to Sell music. The majority of her fan base has always been her Christian base. That is why she has Easily Successfully hopped back and forth between Pop music and “Christian” Music. So YES, her Devoted Money Spending Fans have the RIGHT to Comment about her Not being the Christian she claims to Be.
Music Industry Quotes about Amy Grant’s Music:
Amy’s album, House of Love includes the environmental-mother-earth song, Big Yellow Taxi, by new-age-priestess — Joni Mitchell. Time magazine, (December, 16, 1974, p.63) tells of Joni Mitchells intimate relationship with a muse (a demon spirit) named Art. Joni says, “I feel like I’m married to this guy named Art, I’m responsible to my Art above all else.” Some of the words to Big Yellow Taxi, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”. How different from the words of the Lord Jesus in Luke 23:43, “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Of course, what’s the Bible and Jesus got to do with “Christian” rock?
Amy’s latest album, Behind the Eyes goes even further to “exorcise” any Christian influence. Christianity Today (12/8/97), in article entitled, “Where’s the Gospel?”, writes:
“Amy Grant’s latest album has thrown the Contemporary Christian Music industry into a first-rate identity crisis. . . Grant’s newest release, Behind the Eyes, comes as no surprise given the course of her career since Unguarded (1985), the first of her albums to be distributed jointly by CCM label Myrrh in the evangelical market and A&M in the mainstream market. Previous “crossover” projects, however, had made at least some mention of God or Jesus. The complete absence of explicitly Christian lyrical content on Behind the Eyes has renewed a debate in the CCM industry about what constitutes Christian music.” (Christianity Today, Dec., 8, 1997, “Where’s the Gospel?”)
CCM has gotten so far off the track, Amy, admits in Christianity Today, she doesn’t even know what Christian music is, “I DON’T KNOW if Behind the Eyes is a Christian record. Being able to label it Christian or non-Christian is not the point for me.”
CCM is in such as worldly, compromising, money-making, confusing, mess, it’s “number-one-star” does NOT even know if her album is Christian! Christian is a disciple of Jesus Christ! If it’s not about the Lord Jesus Christ – it is NOT Christian! A music buyer for religious stores mentioned in Christianity Today, truthfully says of Behind the Eyes, “It’s NOT a Christian album. A Christian album should be clear on the person of Christ, and these lyrics are not.”
Christianity Today, makes a keen observation, as it emphasizes that, incredibly, some songs by secular performers are more Christian than CCM’s! Christianity Today asks the following enlightening question, in reference to secular, Mary Chapin Carpenter’s, “I Am a Town” “If Carpenter can sing, ‘I’m a Baptist like my daddy, Jesus knows my name,’ why does Grant have to be so discreet about her faith?” Very good question. . . Why does CCM have to be so discreet about their faith? Why does a supposedly Christian NOT want to sing about the Lord Jesus Christ?
The German reformer and musician, Martin Luther puts it bluntly – “whoever does NOT want to song and speak of it shows that he does not believe it”. According to Luther – they’re NOT saved!
“We should praise God with both word and music, namely by proclaiming [the Word of God] through music. . .He who believes earnestly cannot be quiet about it. But he must gladly and willingly sing and speak about it so that others may come and hear it. And whoever does NOT want to song and speak of it shows that he does not believe it.” (Don Cusic, The Sound of Light, p. 15)
Because of Grant’s (and CCM’s) obvious Unchristian lyrics, Christianity Today, writes:
“The Christian music industry has been unsure how to categorize Grant’s latest offering, so much so, in fact, that the GMA and Christian Music Trade Association (CMTA) initiated a re-evaluation of existing guidelines for GMA Dove Award eligibility and sales chart placement.”
Not to dare break their “compromising-wordly-commercial-track-record”, GMA, did allow Grant’s Behind the Eyes in the Dove Awards – and “presto” – Behind the Eyes was the 1998 Dove Award’s, Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year!
Stan Moser, former head of Word Records (the man responsible for signing Amy Grant) and CEO of Star Song Records, was one of the pioneers and most important executives in CCM. And after 26 years in CCM, in November 1995, walked away from CCM. In an article in Christianity Today, titled “We Have Created a Monster” about CCM, Mr. Moser freely admits:
“But to be candid, I look at the majority of the music I hear today and think it’s virtually meaningless.” (Christianity Today, “We Have Created a Monster”, May 20, 1996 p. 27)
Mr. Moser goes on to make this eye-opening statement:
“. . .I would probably be more inclined to call the industry ‘commercial Christian music,’ rather than ‘contemporary Christian music.'” (Christianity Today, “We Have Created a Monster”, May 20, 1996 p. 27)
CCM artist, Michael Card, admits that much of CCM – is NOT Christian:
“The lyrics of a good number of the songs don’t betray anything specifically Christian – they may have some moral message, but not a lot of the big songs are identifiable Christian. . . ‘What happens to the message when we start getting the music to as many people as possible?’ There is an essential part of the gospel that’s not ever going to sell. The gospel is good news, but it is also bad news: ‘You are a sinner, and you are hopeless.’ How is a multi-million-dollar record company going to take that? That’s a part of the message, too, and if that’s taken out – and it frequently is in Christian music – it ceases to be the gospel.” (Can’t Buy Me Love, Christianity Today, May 20, 1996, p. 25)
Michael Card, makes this alarming statement about CCM:
“The direction and value system are getting worse faster than any of us can imagine.” (Can’t Buy Me Ministry, Christianity Today, May 20, 1996 (p. 22)
To Sum All these Quotes Up: AMY GRANT IS NOT A Christian. Her Music is NOT Christian Music. That is the Theme I saw when reading these quotes.
Amy Grant Quotes:
“I’M TRYING TO LOOK SEXY to sell a record…” (Rolling Stone, June 6, 1985, p. 10).
“St. John’s University gave its highest award to rock star Amy Grant [in 1994] … She is the third woman to receive the Pax Christi award, often called a jewel in the crown of the Roman Catholic Church. Pax Christi is the Radical International Catholic Peace Movement.
Amy Grant, is a charismatic (Yes, she has received her ‘Prayer Language’ and Speaks In Tongues), was called ‘a Contemporary Christian Role Model for Today’s Generation’ and Praised for her “Christian Values.” SOURCE: Charisma and Christian Life (June 1988, Vol. 19, No. 11, Pg. 82)
“I’m a singer, not a preacher, I’m not looking to convert anybody” says Christian rock diva Amy Grant. (Los Angeles Times, 5/4/84, pg. 2-c) Grant goes on to demonstrate her spirituality by saying, “I’m not going to say too often that I like a cold beer while watching a football game. That might bother some of my fans.” (Greensville News, 5/4/94)
“CHRISTIANS CAN BE SEXY. What I’m doing is a good thing” (Amy Grant, interview, People, July 15, 1991).
“The Queen-Bee of Christian rock is Amy Grant. Amy’s song, “Baby, Baby”, was unprecedented in Gospel Music history topping the chart as the number-one spot on Billboard magazine. Is the secular world “turning on” to Jesus? Not hardly… (Dr. Terry Watkins Blog undated.)
People magazine (July 15, 1991 p.71) says of Amy’s video Baby, Baby “There’s saintly Amy cuddling some hunky guy, crooning “Baby, Baby” into his ear and looking pretty SLEEK AND SINFUL. . .” After all, Amy confesses, “I’m trying to look SEXY to sell a record . . .” (Rolling Stone, June 6, 1985 p. 10)
“Petting happens . . . As a teenager, when I gave part of me to someone, I knew I was just going to flirt, HAVE A LITTLE FUN, . . .”(Bob Millard, Amy Grant, (New York, 1986),p. 30) The Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:22, “Flee also youthful lusts:” Amy chooses to Ignore the Bible. For a “Christian” Artist that is a very Sexually Bold thing to do and say. In effect she is telling young kids, who at the time were her biggest fan base, it is OK to use your hands on each other’s Genitals.
I have heard Pastor’s (Wicked Pastor’s) in front of young kids say: “Petting is OK, just be sure to go No Further.” Please show that to me in the Bible. Jesus Never Said: “OK, Kids touch and explore each other’s bodies. Just make sure you do not make each other Cum.” This is what the Pastor’s are saying. So I know where Amy Grant got the idea that Christians can engage in mutual Petting. Some people call this Mutual Masturbation because to stop before Cumming is just going to cause Intense Sexual Frustration.
Amy says in Ladies Home Journal (December, 1985, p. 100), “I have a healthy sense of right and wrong, but sometimes, for example, using foul, exclamation-point words among friends can be good for a laugh.”
Amy said, “Why isolate yourself? Your life isolates you enough. I’m isolated when I walk into a room and somebody says, She’s a Christian and NOBODY OFFERS ME A JOINT and all the coke (cocaine) disappears. . .” (Bob Millard, Amy Grant, (New York, 1986), p. 169)
Husband Gary Chapman confessed in People magazine (July 15, 1991 p. 72), of a six-year cocaine and marijuana addiction! Amy also says, “I remember years ago — the first time I smelled anybody smoking a joint at a concert, I WAS THRILLED . . . it meant to me that obviously this person is not affected by the church peer pressure.”(Bob Millard, Amy Grant, (New York, 1986),p. 30)
What All those Quotes do is Prove that Amy Grant is NOT a Christian. She does NOT have a Christian Testimony of Salvation. She has Often Said “I gave my Heart to the Lord.” other similar things. These types of Sayings are Often said by Modern Churches that DO NOT Teach Bible Salvation.
They have Trite unbiblical Sayings: To Be Saved: “Give Your Life To Jesus.” “Surrender Your Life To Jesus.” “Give Your Heart to Jesus.” I remember hearing Amy Grant say in a Video to a Crowd at her Concert. “I Repented of My Sins and Jesus Saved me.” Repent of Sin is not in the Bible this is the #1 False Gospel being pushed today.
The Gospel is not Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible. It is Works.
Amy Grant Being Satanic:
On Amy’s video, That’s What Love Is For , Amy is dressed in a red robe, (used in witchcraft rituals) flashing on the palms of her hands, a six-pointed-star — A HEXAGRAM! Sean Sellars, a former satanist on death row, for sacrificing 3 people to Satan, says in his book Web of Darkness (p.51), the hexagram “is said by some to be the most powerful and evil sign in satanism and of all the occult world. The hexagram is used mainly in witchcraft to summon demons from the underworld. The word hex which means to place a curse on someone, originated from this sign.” And the primary point of contact in the transmission of spirits — is the hand!
One of the most widespread and best known satanic signs is the I1 Cornuto, also known as the “satanic salute” and the “horned hand”. It is made by, making a fist and extending the first (index) and last (pinkie) finger. For example. The satanic salute is displayed by satanists to acknowledge their allegiance to Satan. Anton LaVey, displays it on the back cover of The Satanic Bible. The satanic salute is popular in rock music. And on the Michael W. Smith, In Concert (Reunion Records, 1985) video tape Amy Grant clearly flashes the “satanic salute”! And it is NOT the sign language for “I love you”, where the thumb is openly extended! Amy deliberately flashes the “satanic salute” at least two separate times on the video, displaying it for several seconds!
Like so many other CCM Artists, Amy is a Chameleon that constantly changes its color to adapt to the environment. At Christian Events in Churches, at Revivals, she talks about Jesus. But in concerts she flashes the El Diablo, “I love Satan” sign
Slayer came on the scene with Offensive Satanic lyrics that spoke blatantly of being in league with the Antichrist, Blasphemy, Black magic, and necromancy. Tom Araya, the lead singer is Catholic, and it shows; the Lyrics portray Satan as Evil, Sadistic, and speaks of Hell as a Reality.
While keeping some of the typical imagery, over the years musicians have gone deeper into writing about what Satanism is truly about, and many have a more devotional approach. These are the ones who will openly say they are Satanic and will not hesitate to say…
HAIL LUCIFER! DARK BRINGER OF LIGHT. HAIL LUCIFER! GIVER OF ETERNAL SIGHT. WISDOM BRINGER WE CALL UPON THY NAME. BESTOW UPON US THY INFERNAL BLESSINGS OF THE INNER DIVINE FLAME.
“GOD OF FORBIDDEN LIGHT,” FROM REINKAOS, BY DISSECTION
… and mean it.
Dissection was a band that was formed in 1989 by Jon Nodtveidt. His perseverance in singing about his Satanic beliefs was evident throughout his career. His views were of the anti-cosmic tradition, based on the book Liber Azerate, of which the bands lyrics were primarily based. When I first heard “Gods of Forbidden Light,” I cried. Hearing someone sing about Lucifer in such a reverent way touched me greatly, and it has been a song in which I have used for ritual and devotions.
Some bands say their concerts are more of a ritual than a stage show. Watain is one of those bands and is known for their extreme performance. The stage will often include inverted crosses, burning tridents, rotting animal parts, and an altar with candles and a chalice full of blood. Erik Danielsson, the lead singer, will anoint the audience with the blood, then will proceed to drink from the chalice. I have had the pleasure of seeing them in concert a few times, but because Canada is stricter than European countries, they do not allow musicians to use blood so that part was omitted. It nevertheless was a powerful experience.
Draconian, a doom metal band, sings about Satan as being the bringer of light. His Lucifer aspect is depicted more in their songs than with other bands. “The Morningstar” gives an emotional rendition of Lucifer’s departure from Heaven and his anger towards Jehovah. He is portrayed as good, and Jehovah as a tyrant, having enslaved both the angels and mankind.
I AM THE LIGHT… THAT LEADS TO DARKNESS! I AM THE NIGHT… BEHOLD PANDEMONIUM! BEHOLD THE MORNINGSTAR! BEHOLD LUCIFER
“Christian” Band MEGADEATH as it gained popularity, the band’s religious affiliation became more Ambiguous. In the early 1990s, guitarist Marty Friedman joined the band, bringing with him a Buddhist philosophy that heavily influenced his playing style. This marked a shift away from the Christian themes that had been present in the band’s earlier music.
The band’s Dave Mustang says he won’t sing certain demon-invoking songs anymore. This statement I have heard echoed by different Music Artists. When they get old many stop singing the most Satanic Music.
2nd Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
James 4:4 warns that any Friendship with the world is enmity with God. CCM is so vague in its message that it is readily accepted by the secular world without hesitation. Amy Grant sold out to the Devil in the 70’s for the Good Life, and Fame of being a Celebrity.
You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).
Matthew 6:24, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Some Christians call CCM, Christ Centered Music, but they’re just piggy-backing on the popular term. CCM is a corrupted industry controlled by the god of this world. You don’t get to be world famous like Amy Grant unless you please Satan the god of this world.
