Chrislam. This is a joining of Christianity and Islam. Rather a difficult and stupid
way to subvert Christ. Islam does not accept Christ as God's Son, does not
accept the resurrection, and does not accept He is the way to heaven. What are
these big-time Christian preachers thinking of? This is the way to peace in the
world--Christians and Muslims will live in peace? The Muslims do not even worship
the Christian God, but follow Allah, a pretender better known to committed
Christians as Lucifer. If you are committed to Christ, you will stay away from
Chrislam.
This is one of the major steps to "falling away", as the bible teaches us in
2 Thes. 2:3,4. There will be no tribulation or rapture until the falling away by
professing Christians takes place. Oh, by the way, did you notice that the world
didn't end on May 21 and rapture didn't occur either? A man by the name of
Camping and his worldwide organization used hundreds of scripture references
to try and pinpoint that elusive date. Apparently he was so busy searching
scripture he never got to Matt, 24:36, which clearly tells us only the Father knows
the time and day.
What puzzles me about this is why so-called Christians followed Camping's
teaching. Most say they believe in God, yet they must not be committed to
Christ, because they did not believe His very words in scripture. They also failed
to read that Christ told them not to depend on earthquakes or volcano eruptions
and other natural phenomenons. I see many said they expected the rapture to
take place as Camping said, but they based their belief in that prophecy on the
fact they believed in God. Guess they forgot about Christ and His teaching. They
don't know it, but they probably aren't even Christians. Even the Devil believes
in God.
I'm further amazed at how much money was contributed to Camping's
organization. Although he predicted the rapture and end times in 1994, and
that, too, was a failure, he brushed it off to a simple error. His organization
took in 18.3 million in 2009 (IRS figures) and had assets of 104 million, with
34 million is stocks and bonds (also IRS figures). It was reported that so much
money poured in as the May 21 date approached, that thousands of signs,
billboards and such were hurriedly posted.
I base my sermons and teaching on scripture, which is what Camping did.
He, however, ignored the very words of Christ, and seemingly only put together
a theory (not a prophecy) on selected scripture verses. He completely ignored
much scripture, replacing it with his civil engineering math and science. It was
quite a scheme, and it worked TWICE in less than 20 years. He is now
fantastically rich for being a liar twice. Meanwhile, I have provided sermons and
teaching on two websites reaching thousands, but have $25 for two years'
work. That's one donation, no salary or benefits. If you're preaching the truth,
your reward must be on the other side, because you can see who's collecting
the reward on this side.
Back to why we're being judged. The third major area I want to point out
includes the misinformation being taught by the many Campings. This is quite
easy to determine if you listen to the teaching in many Pentecostal churches.
You'll notice I'm not just reporting on one or two denominations, because the
misleading teaching is occurring in virtually all denominations. Many preachers
don't want to rile the feathers of congregations, so they give the listeners what
they want to hear. If they don't, the church leaders kick them out.
The problem with Pentecostals (and they aren't all bad) is that some want to
ordain new ministers to establish branch churches before the new ministers are
properly trained. One of the driving factors is money. The more people who buy
into the teaching that the more you tithe, the more money you'll be "blessed" with,
the more ardent the follower. You can't reason scripture with someone who just
received an unexpected $500 after donating generously to the church. They are
not being taught that Satan generously rewards his followers until he has no more
use for them.
One such Pentecostal preacher has, in a few years, been able to construct a huge
church, a home, and ordain new preachers. His knowledge of scripture is very poor,
as evidenced by a recent sermon. In the sermon, he teaches that if you have a
common cold, it is because you lack faith; if you have trouble sleeping, it is because
you lack faith, etc. He targets the young, active crowd, who follow him without
bothering to check the Word of God. They don't have to, because this person knows
it all. The big test of faith frequently can be equated to size of tithes.
Another major problem is the actual rewriting of scripture--making the bible say
what man wants it to say. A branch of the Lutheran Church is doing just that,
although scripture clearly warns us not to add anything to the bible or take anything
away (Rev. 22:18,19). The main problem here is the bringing in of homosexuality to
the mainstream. These leaders claim homosexuality today isn't the same as it was
when the bible was written. Since there is no place in scriupture where God or Christ
said homosexuality is just dandy, these Lutherans are making corrections. Scripture
says homosexuality is a sin, just like other sins. But scripture does give qualifications
for any and all church offices. Homosexuals do not qualify for church leadership, at
least not in the pulpit or teaching positions.
I would much rather teach scripture to explain how the Holy Spirit works, or why
certain books of the Old Testament have a special lesson for us. But, we are in the
process of "falling away", and must be aware of teaching in the churches, where most
people receive their information. Pastors know people have a short attention span,
so sermons are usually short. Unfortunately, many of these sermons are either
"feel good" type, or tips on clean living. It's simple math or second year algebra. It's
pretty clear most people prefer the simple math. Like anything else, if your mind isn't
challenged, you won't learn. Know what? You may be missing these great bible
stories--after all, many have been made into top box office movies.
Now that we see why America is being judged, you will be interested to know some
of Satan's plans for the near future to rid the earth of all Christians. Of course, he won't
be able to prevent the rapture, so those raptured will be safe. He does have plans for
those still here, and, if you look closely, you can see how some of that unfolds. And, yes,
there are more reasons for our judgment. Stay tuned.
Rev. Walbear
