... a false political dictum in order to restrict the influence of Christian ideas. As Franky Schaeffer says in the Plan for Action: It has been convenient and expedient for the secular humanist, the materialist, the so-called liberal, the feminist, the genetic engineer, the bureaucrat, the Supreme Court Justice, to use this arbitrary division between church and state as a ready excuse.. It is used.. to subdue the opinions of that vast body of citizens who represent those with religious convictions." (36) Ponder the following quotes by Thomas Jefferson,* a Deist and the main author of the Declaration of Independence. The third president of the United States affirms the First Amendment decreed that the government has no power to control or quench the free expression of religion or conscience. The first set of quotes refer to legal and equal "rights". In the second set, he shares his personal opinion, which does not favor Christianity. "Believing that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other ...

... (Margaret Wheatley, Reclaiming Gaia, Reclaiming Life in The Fabric of the Future. Conari Press, September 1998) Margaret Wheatley was featured at the Leadership Network's "Exploring Off the Map Experience" conference in 2000 which was a pivotal encounter experience that helped to launch what became the Emergent movement. Her models and metaphors are blatantly occult. This idea of creating a "New Story" for the planet is not a new one. McLaren has simply repackaged for a postmodern neo-evangelical audience. The "New Story" is credited to Thomas Berry's concept of "Earth Spirituality," which is totally steeped in occult doctrines. A review of Berry's works posted online [4] shows how thoroughly Brian McLaren borrowed from Berry (McLaren also cites another Berry-- Wendell Berry). Thomas Berry proposed that a new cosmology story, based on an evolutionary view of human nature and an emergent view of the universe, could create a new vision or "dream" for humanity's collective salvation. Adopting the feminine "Gaia" metaphor, which in Catholic Creation Spirituality is ...

... the Aquarian Conspiracy is a different kind of revolution, with different revolutionaries. It looks to the turnabout in the consciousness of a critical number of individuals, enough to bring about a renewal of society.." page 26 The Paradigm Shift. New perspectives give birth to new historic ages. Humankind has had many dramatic revolutions of understanding --great leaps sudden liberation from old limit. We discovered the uses of fire and the wheel, language and writing.. Each of these discoveries is properly described as a "paradigm shift," a term introduced by Thomas Kuhn, a science historian and philosopher, in his landmark 1962 book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Kuhn's ideas are enormously helpful, not only because they help us understand how a new perspective remerges but also how and why such new views are invariably resisted for a time." 26 A paradigm is a framework of thought (from the Greek paradigm, "pattern") .. a scheme for understanding and explaining certain aspects of reality.. A paradigm shift is a distinctly new way of thinking about old problems... 26 Given ...

... not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]" (Matthew 6:7 ), do not pray self-righteously (Luke 18:11), avoid hypocritical prayer, praying to be seen of men (Matthew 6:5) or praying to show off in front of others (Luke 20:46, 47). With these examples and instructions in mind, let's now examine Contemplative Prayer. CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER In the 1970's, three mystic Roman Catholic monks, Fr. William Meninger, Fr. Basil Pennington and Abbot Thomas Keating (head monk) labeled Centering Prayer as a "method of prayer, which prepares us to receive the gift of God's presence, traditionally called contemplative prayer". It is "…the opening of mind and heart- our whole being- to God… whom we know by faith is within us…. Contemplative Prayer is a prayer of silence, an experience of God's presence…" 3 The Contemplative Outreach Ltd. website featuring Thomas Keating's teachings, provides further insight into the method of Contemplative Prayer and lists the guidelines to practice it ...

... A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Jn 20:26-29 (NIV) ...

... show Tom Lamont [a senior partner in J.P. Morgan and Company], his wife Flora, and his son Corliss as sponsors and financial angels to almost a score of extreme Left organizations, including the Communist Party itself." [12] Did the name Lamont ring a bell? It should. This year's senatorial primary between two Connecticut Democrats featured Edward "Ned" Lamont and Joe Lieberman. Lamont won, which came as no surprise to media leaders well familiar with the Lamont legacy. For Ned's great-grandfather was the billionaire Thomas Lamont, chairman of J. P. Morgan. Corliss Lamont, son of Thomas and Ned's grandfather, was trained for his role as conspirator at Harvard, Oxford and Columbia University. His roommate during his studies at Oxford University was the Fabian (global) Socialist, Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous and the first Director-General of UNESCO. In his 1946 book, UNESCO: Its purpose and Its Philosophy, Huxley exposed some of the psychosocial strategies that would conform the minds of the masses to planned community. He suggested, ...

... Books Heaven is for Real~ The Unknown Prophet~ Deltora Inside the Red Zone~ Previous questions about books Q& A Home Question: I have encountered a very dangerous book that is making its' way through some of the Charismatic Christian circles. It is titled "Heaven is so real" by Choo Thomas.. The book is about the author's 17 or so trips to Heaven and Hell with Jesus Himself. I believe the author (Thomas) does actually experience the things she writes about. However, what she says is clearly not from God because it is so radically against Scripture. As we know, God will never violate His written Word in any way at all. I could tell immediately from the little that I read that this woman's experiences are with the accompaniment of an evil entity and certainly not the Lord. Also, in the little reading that I did, this woman's account of the "shaking" as she left her body and went with the "lord" to'heaven" and "hell" is the same exact description ...

... course not. The financiers were without ideology. It would be a gross misinterpretation to assume that assistance for the Bolshevists was ideologically motivated, in any narrow sense. The financiers were power-motivated and therefore assisted any political vehicle that would give them an entree to power: Trotsky, Lenin, the tsar, Kolchak, Denikin — all received aid, more or less.. Neither was aid restricted to statist Bolsheviks and statist counter-Bolsheviks. John P. Diggins, in Mussolini and Fascism: The View from America, 4 has noted in regard to Thomas Lamont of Guaranty Trust that "Of all American business leaders, the one who most vigorously patronized the cause of Fascism was Thomas W. Lamont. Head of the powerful J.P. Morgan banking network, Lamont served as something of a business consultant for the government of Fascist Italy." Lamont secured a $100 million loan for Mussolini in 1926 at a particularly crucial time for the Italian dictator. We might remember too that the director of Guaranty Trust was the father of Corliss Lamont, a domestic Communist. This evenhanded approach ...

And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet.. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." (Luke 24:38-39) "[ Eight days later, Jesus appeared to all the disciples] He said to Thomas,'Reach your finger here, and look at My hands.. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.
