Is Your Minister/Priest a Christian?

 

That sounds like an odd question but it really isn't. There are many Christian leaders who don't believe the Bible is to be taken literally and that there are many paths to God and you don't even need to believe in Jesus to get to heaven.

 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’  Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" 

Matthew 7:21-23

So here is the best way to figure out if you are being led by a genuine Christian.

Are they behaving like Jesus? 

Simple but the ultimate sign of all Christians.

🔴 Do they have a huge burden for the poor which is demonstrated in a very humble lifestyle?

🔴 Can you picture this person selling ALL that they have to give to the poor?

🔴 Can you picture this person washing the feet of their parishioners and even the feet of their enemies.

(Jesus washed the feet of Judas too)

🔴 Do they have the attitude, demeanor and actions that demonstrate they are a SLAVE to Jesus and a SERVANT to EVERY member of their church?

Now, no Minister is perfect, but it should not be difficult picturing them doing these things.

Beware and Be warned.

I'm sorry to have to tell you these things but better you discover the Truth sooner than later.

I hope I was helpful.

How to Know if You are in a Christian Cult

 

Let me say again that what defines a CULT is not its beliefs but its STRUCTURE, means of controlling its members and its goals and motivations.

 So let's dive into the main signs of a Christian/Religious cult.

(The biggest indicator)

🔴 A Charismatic Leader who is NEVER criticized or corrected. In the eyes of the members this person is adored, referred to constantly and can do no wrong.

🔴 When the Bible is quoted there is no reference given and they don't read directly from the Bible. They make general statements like, "Paul says in the epistle to the Romans ..." or  "As the Psalmist says..."

🔴 The Leaders live extremely well. Big houses, nice cars, and nice clothes, which will contrast deeply to the average member.

🔴 Members/Followers have the Church as the complete focus of their lives and rarely associate with anyone not a member even to the exclusion of family members. They spend their free time volunteering for the church and give MUCH more money than their 10% tithe.

🔴 Followers will all be repeating the same phrases and often they will be redefined to mean something different to the Follower than the real meaning. 

For example, "Biblical World View" or "Family Values" which can mean many different things to different people. 

🔴 Us vs Them mentality. People outside the church are evil or being deceived, even if they are Christians and just attend a different church or are from a different denomination. You believe ALL that the Leader teaches or you are an outsider to be spurned.

🔴 Followers will mention the name of their leaders WAAAAY more often than the name of JESUS. (a huge indicator)

🔴 Members don't have as much time to commit to their private Bible study and alone time with Jesus because they are kept so busy.

🔴 Whenever there is corruption somewhere amongst the Elders and/or Higher-Ups it is rationalized, justified and sometimes completely hushed up. If you are in a church where nobody is doing wrong, it's being covered up because ALL Christians do wrong and these things must be confronted and dealt with in a Biblical way.

There are other signs but these ones are the Biggies to watch for. 

Also, not all cults have all of these signs BUT if you have the first one (Charismatic Leader who is always right) and at least two of the indicators, you need to take an EXTREMELY CLOSE look at what kind of place you are hooked into.

Also (again), cults can now be solely ONLINE and never meet in a physical building but the signs will remain the same.

I did not expect to be spending my final days focused on cults but there aren't just a handful anymore. They are everywhere and hunting for anyone who is vulnerable. Maybe you've lost your job, you're new in the area, feeling lonely, struggling with health concerns or grieving the loss of a loved one. These things leave you open to the other members Love-Bombing, which is done to intentionally lure you in.

Unfortunately, you must be suspicious of everybody because I have seen these things played out in some very mainstream and well respected "Christian" Churches and organizations. We are in the End Times when the Apostate (False) Church is everywhere, so you must KNOW your Bible and KNOW Jesus very well or you will be deceived. 

"Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. " (Matthew 24:4)

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(Matthew 26:41)

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it's been helpful.

Hal Lindsey Dies at Age 95

Harold Lee Lindsey aka.. HAL  LINDSEY  

(November 23, 1929 – November 25, 2024)   was an American evangelical writer and television host. He wrote a series of popular apocalyptic books – beginning with "The  Late Great Planet Earth' (1970), which connected BibleProphecy to current and near future events, It had  sold an estimated 35 Million by the end of the 20th Century which has made it one of the most influential books of the 20th Century.

He was a Christian  Zionist  and Dispensationalist.

 Lindsey’s path into prophecy writing was strongly shaped by dispensationalism, which interprets the Bible through the lens of God’s promises to the Jewish people and the Christian Church. 

He became a Born-Again Christian after having a near death experience while working for the US Coast Guard.

Hal studied theology at Dallas Theological Seminary, graduating in 1962 with a degree in Greek New Testament. Afterward, he joined Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru) and began holding Bible studies at UCLA, where he focused on the relevance of biblical prophecy in light of contemporary events. asserting that the Apocalypse  (or  End Times  - including the Rapture ) was imminent because current events were fulfilling Bible prophecy.

 🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿

 I read "The Late, Great Planet Earth" in 1979, about a year after I became a Born-Again Christian. I didn't understand most of it at the time but came away with several important facts.

🔴 Bible Prophecy is always 100% accurate, because God knows everything. If you hear somebody give a "prophecy" and it's even just a wee bit wrong 🤏, they do NOT speak for God.

🔴 The creation of the state of Israel in 1948 (which is predicted in the Bible) started the EndTimes countdown. 

🔴 ALL of the Bible (including Bible Prophecy) is to be taken literally.

🔴 Jesus is coming back soon. Perhaps even in MY lifetime.

It  motivated me to start studying Bible Prophecy and watching Current world Events in a big, huge, earnest way. So here I am 45 years later and I see Bible Prophecy being fulfilled and converging all around me at a rate I can no longer keep up with.

 So I conclude with  "Thank you, Brother Hal. I'll see you SOON" 

The Truth with (much) Love,

Always Laura-Lee 😌

So, Mr. Hardcore Climate Change, stop all Fossil Fuels so I can sell everyone an Electronic Vehicle, I hope Papa Klaus is proud of me is being escorted into the White House and given the Keys to the Kingdom by the new American President.

Phrases like:

Kid in a Candy Store 

Water Gate.

Sleeping with the Enemy. 

Oh look, a wonderful Trojan-horse.

Whitewashed Sepulchers  

Final nails in the Coffin

Come to mind. 🤔

( And will Mr. Zuckerberg be made the head of the Ethics in Advertising Committee too?)

I hope all you American Republicans have a Plan B because you are going to need it.

PS. I have seen Situational Ethics and "End Justifies the Means" mentality take over the American Republicans since Donald Trump won. 

He is going to "Save America" and you don't care HOW he does it or how many people of low moral character he appoints to positions of powers as long as he "gets the job done". 

Putting all that faith in the STATE to fix your lives and fanatically following a POLITICAL leader only leads to LENINGRAD, Comrades. 🤨❗️

For all of you feeling a bit discouraged about America right now, here is a video to help you remember what made you great?

My blog post "Election 2024: The Suicide of America"

Election 2024. The Suicide of America 🇺🇸

 

I started watching American politics back when Jimmy Carter was your President and I have never seen an election filled with more Mania and Obsession than this one.

The Global Elites have been waiting for America to implode so they can sweep in and take over and Americans have played right into their hands because you have been ignoring the bigger picture and are unable to see past your own noses and beyond your own shores. You see, it's not this candidate or that candidate that is responsible for the demise of America, but the election itself. 

“But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: ‘Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand’.”

(Matthew 12:25)

Both sides are equally responsible because you couldn't keep your politics in perspective and get yourselves under control and therefore, you have signed your own death warrant.

America will never be great again no matter who is elected. The 2024 election has been the Death Knell of America.

 What a waste. What an utter, utter waste. You had so much going on for yourselves. There was still so much you could have done and accomplished.

You have my deepest sympathies and condolences and continuing prayers. 😣

The IMMIGRATION Issue (Simplified)

 

We're hearing a lot about Immigration right now and all of the problems it is creating in various countries. In an attempt to help you see past all the seemingly endless, opposite and convoluted reasoning, I'm going to boil it down to the basics.

🫕🫖🫕🫖🫕🫖🫕🫖🫕🫖

Let's suppose you owned a really nice house that you worked hard to get. Then one day you decided you wanted to make some new friends so you went out and bought a fabulous big screen and an awesome sound system with the goal of inviting a bunch of people over to watch some movies and sporting events.

Then you went out to pick up a bunch of drinks and food to stock up your fridge in anticipation for their arrival.

While you were out, you discovered that the rumors had spread throughout your neighborhood that you had gotten all this cool stuff. But you also discovered that several people in the surrounding towns also knew about your “tricked out” equipment.

When you got home you discovered that someone in your house had put out the “Welcome” Mat and propped open your front door. You rushed inside, checked that all your belongings were still there and closed and locked your door but you left the “Welcome” mat there because you really do want to invite people in. 

(Don't forget to put all your groceries in your fridge before they spoil.)

Shortly after you have put away your groceries in your fridge (☝️in descending order according to the expiration dates) you hear a knock at your door. On your porch you see a man and a twelve year old boy that you don't know and ask,

“Who are you?”

The man responds, 😀🙋🏻

“Hi there. I'm your new neighbor Mitch and this is my son, Rufus. We saw you haul in all your cool, new equipment and we were wondering if you would let us have a look at it.”

Now, you might decide to take a risk and invite them in 

OR

you might hesitate and respond with,

“Uh. Now is not really a good time for me.” 😒

Now if Mitch (and Rufus) are REALLY good, decent people they will completely understand your hesitation and respond with something like,

“No problem. Maybe another time when it's more convenient.”

They are going to allow you the time to discover more about them without being offended by it.

🤗🌿🤗🌿🤗🌿🤗🌿🤗🌿

Now let's take this to the bigger scale of Immigration.

You have a wonderful country, filled with great resources which the people from the neighboring countries know about. 

Do you leave your door wide open 

OR

Do you keep it closed and locked so you can take the time to properly identify who the new people are and discover more about them BEFORE you invite them in?

This is at the heart of this very intense and intricate debate over immigration. Try to keep this image in mind as people meander all over the place with their various arguments.

And also be aware that MANY people who are discussing this are very far removed from the consequences of what they are proposing and/or have hidden agendas they wish to push on others.

As a final piece of advice, I think you REALLY need to discover EXACTLY who left your door open so you can make them stop doing it.

I hope this helps to clarify the topic for you. 🫠

The Truth, with Love,

Always Laura-Lee
