False Christian teachings, trends….
The issue of Agenda Weekly in this post is about how the left has been using FEAR to control American citizens. He examines recent events that have been unfolding and explains how these have been orchestrated by this government to create fear in you so that you will surrender your freedom to them for the protection they can offer you.
The 5 minute sermon excerpt in this post is from a 6 part sermon series Dr. MacArthur did on 2 Thessalonians 2. MacArthur describes the man of lawlessness as the culmination of those who hate God and Christ – all false Christs, pseudo Christs, false teachers, false prophets; all hypocritical liars who claim to be spokespersons for God, but who actually speak for satan; all of them are embodied in this one horrific figure known as the AntiChrist….
“Almost certainly we are moving into an age of totalitarian dictatorships – an age in which freedom of thought will at first be a deadly sin and later on a meaningless abstraction. The autonomous individual is going to be stamped out of existence.” Orwell’s fictional work, 1984, reflects the political realities of many nations, past and present; these realities are increasingly more evident in our modern culture too – In the battle between totalitarianism and freedom, no one can afford to stand on the sidelines
Dr. MacArthur talks about how the dystopian novels, Brave New World and 1984 are playing out in the western world. In his 11 minute sermon excerpt, he talks about how totalitarianism was characterized in these novels then identifies 8 points necessary for totalitarianism, all of which are visible in our culture. This post also contains a 9 minute video on Brave New World that makes Dr. MacArthur’s talking points much more clear. I noted Highlights for Dr. MacArthur’s sermon excerpt.
After taking power in 1959, Castro quickly adopted measures to transform the Cuban economy into a planned and centralized body. …Hundreds of thousands of Cubans lost their land, property, and businesses when Cuban communist revolutionaries confiscated private property. …In Cuba, the failures of an overambitious centralized planning economy also brought about widespread famine from shortages of basic goods. In 1990, 20 years after Castro’s takeover, Cubans resorted to eating cats and dogs to survive. Crime became rampant as people struggled to survive. People waited in long lines at state warehouses to get rations of fundamental food items like eggs. [Search Venezuela at YouTube, and you will find similar problems from socialism / communism]
Dr. Baucham explained the shady process by which the SBC got CRT and Intersectionality approved at their convention; he explained cultural Marxism and its parts, including CRT and intersectionality; he explained the Dallas Statement, written by a panel of prominent Christian pastors to warn of cultural Marxism…the main point: cultural Marxism is opposed Christianity, the Christian worldview, and the gospel; it is unbiblical and it is wrong to try to incorporate it into Christianity [the SBC’s actions are leading sheep astray]
Recall organizers accuse Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), of enabling crime by working to cut funding to the police and supporting homeless encampments, which have “expanded exponentially” in the district since she was sworn into office in January. Organizers describe themselves as “a district-wide coalition of residents demanding a return to sanity in CD4.” …Los Angeles Councilman Mike Bonin is also facing a recall effort from constituents upset about his response to homeless people in his district, as is Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón for allegedly failing to protect communities.
The term “useful idiots” has been attributed to Lenin, as a description of those mindless people in the Western democracies who would always find ways to excuse whatever the Soviet Union did. Columnist Mona Charen’s new book Useful Idiots shows that such people are still with us. …The founding of the Castro dictatorship in Cuba set the pattern that was followed later in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Grenada. By initially concealing the fact that he was a Communist, and having some non-Communists around him as window dressing, Fidel Castro was able to play the role of a popular liberator, out to end oppression, hold free elections, and do all sorts of good things for “the people.” …Once in power, Castro tolerated no opposition, held no free elections, and established a police state that made the previous dictators look like amateurs. Those who spoke out against what was happening were jailed or executed. So were those who tried to flee the country.
The following brief video is by Polite Leader; it explains the contemporary seeker sensitive church movement. He mentions several well known seeker sensitive mega church pastors, but his chief purpose is to explain the fundamentals of the movement so you might recognize them when you encounter them in your neighborhood. Additionally, there are links to related articles on preachers that were discussed.
The 6 minute trailer, Agenda: Grinding America Down, by Curtis Bowers, gives specific tactics the left has been using to transform America into a socialist nation, a precursor to communism. Many supporters of leftist dogma are being duped to aid in this transformation – duped, because if they knew what was coming they would be opposing it. If you are not current on the leftist tactics playing out all around you in America, then please watch this trailer.
