Shepherds as Wolves.
By Jim Fletcher – 29 November 2020
One can hardly think of a more telling evidence for apostasy than following after other gods. The God of all Creation wrote about that once with His own finger.
As we rage down the river of apostasy that crosses the U.S. today, there are so many problems with our church models, one hardly knows where to start. But a glaring one is the continued embrace of Muslims clerics by evangelical leaders.
Albert Mohler [pictured above] should be slapped.
The Southern Baptist seminary head is Woke. Christianity Today [magazine] gleefully noted this week: “It is not often that a Muslim appears at an evangelical theological gathering.“ “Al Mohler invited three!”
“The trimmed-down 72nd annual conference of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS), held virtually this week, usually welcomes up to 2,000 top scholars to present on the most salient issues facing evangelical scholarship.”
According to CT, the ETS seeks better engagement with Islam. Why? In its continuing bid to smear conservative Christians, CT also added this;
“Asma Uddin, a religious liberty lawyer (previously interviewed by CT) and a fellow with the Inclusive America Project at the Aspen Institute, described the well-funded Islamophobia network that tars Muslims and the political left in a joint conspiracy to take over the world.”
In its partnership with radical Muslims, CT also quoted Mohamed Majid, [pictured above] imam and executive director at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Centre:
“’We have so much in common with evangelical Christians,’ Majid said.”
This is a diabolical lie, of course. But it is gaining headway among rank-and-file evangelicals, who don’t know much Bible after decades of the essentially Bible-less Church Growth Movement.
Majid, a decade ago the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), was warmly received by the Obama administration. In fact, ISNA was named a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood by federal prosecutors under George W. Bush.
And I’ve written several times before about frequent CT contributor Ed Stetzer’s warm ties to Muslim Brotherhood operatives, such as Eboo Patel. [pictured above] This is from a piece I wrote for the Jerusalem Post in 2014:
“A year ago, LifeWay Research Division President Ed Stetzer interviewed Roberts about interfaith dialogue with Muslims. Stetzer referenced Eboo Patel as an example of a moderate Muslim, yet Patel — appointed in February 2009 to President Barack Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighbourhood Partnerships — has a history with the family of Hassan al-Banna, the radical who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928. The Brotherhood is the spiritual forefather of today’s most lethal terror groups, including Hamas and Al-Qaida”.
“Frontpage magazine’s Daniel Greenfield reported in 2013 that Patel was one of six men named by an Egyptian magazine as having infiltrated the White House, advocating on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood. Patel also participated in a panel in 2011 at an event sponsored by the Muslim Students Association. The same panel included Tariq Ramadan (grandson of al-Banna) and Siraj Wahhaj (former vice president of the Islamic Society of North America; he was named as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing).”
Ten years ago, the Christian Post reported on an interfaith conference at the Texas church pastored by Bob Roberts Jr.: “Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research – the research arm of the Southern Baptist Convention – and a speaker at the Global Faith Forum, says admitting ‘that we are multifaith is only the beginning.’ Evangelicals, he stressed, need to be willing to learn to live together with those whose beliefs are different.
“Speakers at the Global Faith Forum include HRH Prince Turki Al Faisal, [pictured above] former Saudi Arabia ambassador to the United States; His Excellency Le Cong Phung, Vietnam ambassador to the United States; Eboo Patel of Interfaith Youth Core; John Esposito of Georgetown University; and Mark Galli of Christianity Today, among others.”
Stetzer and Roberts are long-time chums with imams and clerics who hate the West. Mohler’s capitulation, bringing them into a theological gathering of evangelicals, is unconscionable.
Be very careful about following any Evangelical celebrity these days. They should have to answer for why they are working tirelessly to mainstream Muslim terrorists in our churches. They won’t answer, of course; they are insulated from constructive criticism and the spotlight.
But they will answer someday.
Supreme Court blocks New York's COVID-19 restrictions on houses of worship.
29 November 2020
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday in favour of a Roman Catholic diocese and an Orthodox Jewish group, temporarily blocking New York’s COVID-19 restrictions on houses of worship.
“Members of this Court are not public health experts, and we should respect the judgment of those with special expertise and responsibility in this area. But even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten," the high court said in its 5-4 ruling. "The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty.”
The court said that the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Agudath Israel of America are likely to succeed in their arguments that the restrictions violate the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and that they would cause irreparable harm. The groups had sued Governor Andrew Cuomo over his executive order limiting worship gatherings to 10 people for those in red zones and 25 for those in orange zones.
“… the regulations cannot be viewed as neutral because they single out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment,” the court said in its opinion. “They are far more restrictive than any COVID–related regulations that have previously come before the Court, much tighter than those adopted by many other jurisdictions hard-hit by the pandemic, and far more severe than has been shown to be required to prevent the spread of the virus at the applicants’ services.”
The court also noted that there has been no evidence of outbreaks of the coronavirus in the Catholic churches or Jewish synagogues — which have followed health guidelines — since they reopened.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch said Gov. Cuomo has allowed many businesses to remain open and that “the only explanation for treating religious places differently seems to be a judgment that what happens there just isn’t as ‘essential’ as what happens in secular spaces.”
“Indeed, the Governor is remarkably frank about this: In his judgment laundry and liquor, travel and tools, are all “essential” while traditional religious exercises are not. That is exactly the kind of discrimination the First Amendment forbids,” Gorsuch added.
Meanwhile, there is this late last week from the False Prophet [Senor Bergoglio] in Rome;:
Pope Francis calls for ‘new economic and political system’ from Rome......
“God asks us to dare to create something new. We cannot return to the false securities of the political and economic systems we had before the crisis. We need economies that give to all access to the fruits of creation, to the basic needs of life: to land, lodging and labour,” the Roman pontiff said. “We need a politics that can integrate and dialogue with the poor, the excluded, and the vulnerable, that gives people a say in the decisions that affect their lives. We need to slow down, take stock, and design better ways of living together on this earth,” he said.
Pope Francis concluded: “Solidarity is more than acts of generosity, important as they are; it is the call to embrace the reality that we are bound by bonds of reciprocity. On this solid foundation we can build a better, different, human future.” [Gobblegook translation; “we need Socialism/Fascism NOW”].
Los Angeles County announced Friday a massive, COVID-1984 coronavirus lockdown...
All signs are pointing to the fact that 2020 is the year the global elites of the New World Order decided to crash the current system and bring in the new one. This is not a drill, this is not a test, this is the real thing.
