![DAY 22: SHOULD SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS CALL OUT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR ALTERING GOD’S WORD? About that, here’s a great quote: “The Seventh Day Adventist Clear Word Bible is perhaps one of the most deceptive Bibles of recent times. For 150 years, Seventh-day Adventists have called the Roman Catholic Church ‘the beast’ for allegedly omitting two verses of the law against images. Yet [SDA] has now made hundreds of revisions in their Bible.” It’s true that Catholic leadership hacked the second of God’s Ten Commandments out of the Bible—because it commands that we are not to make idols. Why would they do that? Well, they push idol worship with sales of saint and Mary figurines–from which they
rake in massive amounts of their followers’ money. Then, as part of the leadership’s whole rigamarole, those same followers are told to bow down to, pray to, and even worship the figurines. But here’s the problem they created for themselves: Taking out that second commandment left only nine, so—one lie leading to another—Catholic leadership had to change God’s Word again by splitting God’s tenth commandment into two, getting them back to a full ten. While I agree with SDA that it is wrong for Catholicism to do that, the SDA organization has made hundreds of their own textual changes, insertions, and deletions to God’s Word. In the US South they have two words for the type of person
who speaks against a wrong that they themselves
are also committing: He or she is said to be
a “Hypo-Crite.” SDA is being hypocritical. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6xtge5.jpg)
![DAY 18: IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING HINDUISM? [2 of 2] With the New Age religion, the concept of repeating a mantra is called “creative visualization,” which is also why the Word of Faith people—in the Christian Church today—say, “Hey, you better be careful with your words. Don’t even say you’re getting sick because you have the power to make that happen. The ‘force of faith’ is in your mouth, so whatever you keep speaking will become your reality.” But it’s all just warmed-over Hinduism. The Hindu religion is having a major impact on the Christian Church today, and it’s from a purposeful effort by Hinduism to slap “Christianese” on their practices, dishing that product out to Church folks who've been sold a bill of goods. Far-Eastern techniques are being taught in churches today, such as using meditation to reach an altered state of consciousness to try “escaping reincarnation.” Through Hindu instruction in the Christian Church today, people are having spiritual experiences that are not from the
Spirit of God, and most people don’t know it is a demonic force
because they aren’t given the background on Hinduism
to fully understand what they're being asked to do. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6xtcny.jpg)
![DAY 1: CAN ANYONE BE ROYAL?
[1 of 2] Years ago, when we lived on the East Coast, my daughter Rebecca inspired what I think would be an excellent children’s book. Like all little girls, she had been reading and watching stories involving knights, princesses, kingdoms, realms, quests, enchanted forests, and all other aspects of chivalrous lands. She was deeply enamored with the idea of somehow becoming the princess to a handsome, honorable prince who arrives unexpectedly and ends up being devoted to her only. Hearing her passion,
God worked on my heart to steer her thinking back toward Him and His Word. How would the Bible best be explained to a little girl enthralled with the idea that Prince Charming would come sweep her up and carry her off to his beautiful castle, where they would marry and live out the
rest of their lives in luxury and happiness. Unfortunately for; Rebecca, she also lived with a common disappointment that most fairytale-consuming young girls come to realize: Her parents do not have royal blood, so she is disqualified from nobility.
But then, one day, God had to finally smack my head with a thought that should have come to me sooner: Wait a second, that fairytale is the true story of Scripture. We are nobles! At the moment we trust in Jesus’s sacrifice of Himself on the cross, we become born-again and are instantly princes and princesses! As a family of Christians, that means Rebecca’s mother and I have royal blood, and our daughter also received her princess title at the moment she accepted Jesus—the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Christ has created
a borderless kingdom, a powerful kingdom above all kingdoms.
In fact, He created and owns everything! | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6tn300.jpg)
![DAY 2: CAN ANYONE BE ROYAL? [2 of 2] Even though God could have scrapped His human project, having no need of us rebellious children who often grieve Him, God decided to send His only Son—the Prince who volunteered—to perform the princely act of sacrificing His earthly life. Jesus unexpectedly came to rescue us, and right now this universe-owning Prince is building palaces, eagerly waiting for the day when His Father tells Him to come back to the air above our world, catch all His royal sons and daughters up to meet Him there, and whisk us away to be in heaven with Him. Christ will be coming for every Christian—all His princely people. And our titles are not just for gaining entrance into heaven’s royal balls and buffets; we are set to rule and reign with Jesus on earth and in the heavens, living lovingly, peacefully, and joyfully ever after, forever, and ever, and ever. When I began to explain all this to my daughter Rebecca, her eyes lit up like I had not seen before—
she got it! I said something like: “Rebecca, that is what’s so
cool about being a Christian. The world only offers make-believe
stories of unattainable royal lives in non-existent lands. But with Jesus, you truly are Princess Rebecca!”
I think these nobility themes are constantly added to our stories because we inwardly know this earthly life goes by in a flash, and we have an eternity coming—that is meant to be spent in God’s kingdom. Whether we acknowledge His sovereignty or not, He has put it on our hearts. However, this regal future can be squandered by those too self-absorbed to want a relationship with their Creator—the same issue Satan had that led to him creating sin.
But our glorious, princely position is real and every Christian has it—right now! The next stop is Jesus coming to get us, escorting His people to His heavenly kingdom where we will spend years at a massive victory celebration with God, after which we fellow princes and princesses will ride back to earth with Jesus, where we will rule and reign with Him in His millennial kingdom. After those thousand years spent watching over the earth with God, He will create new
heavens and a new earth—a new, sinless creation! So, that’s who we are,
Christian princes and princesses. It is our destiny! | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6tn4cy.jpg)
![DAY 3: WHY STUDY THE BELIEFS AND PRACTICES OF VARIOUS WORLD RELIGIONS, CULTS, AND THE OCCULT?[1 of 2] Passing along propaganda news, people easily become copycat Christians, just repeating unbiblical claims—supposed truths about Jesus Christ. That is, until they gain real biblical conviction. I want you to know what is true, and why it is true. During the years we at Sunrise Bible Church and Get A Life Ministries have been putting out our huge study called World Religions, Cults & the Occult, (an ongoing series that has involved many years of intense research), we have been comparing false-faith systems—greedy, works-based practices invented by men and women—to the
truth of a free faith in biblical Christianity. Why? So that the information will equip you with an accurate understanding of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age, Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh Day Adventists, Christian Science, Scientology, the Charismatic Movement, Witchcraft, and Satanism. Only the truth will help you be a strong, knowledgeable, and confident advocate for God’s Truth that is Jesus Christ. First John 5:19 teaches us that the entire planet lies in the power of the evil one; therefore, the world’s false religious philosophies are all the devil’s doing. How can I make such a bold statement? Because the Bible tells us Satan is not only a murderer, but also a liar and the father of all
lies. Every idea that veers from scriptural truth
has a demonic influence. Satan’s servants
are false teachers disguising themselves
as friendly givers of truth and doers
of righteousness—but it’s all just lies. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6tro2b.jpg)
![DAY 17: IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING HINDUISM? [1 of 2] When I was first saved out of the New Age movement, I went directly into Bible college and what I considered to be the Christian “Church world.” Of course, being new to Christianity, I found it easy to join fringe groups and not recognize them as such. I started attending different Church services and reading the Bible. At one point I ended up at a livelier congregation, and upon familiarizing myself with what they were doing, skeptical questions began entering my mind about their supposedly Christian faith practices. Those thoughts went something like: “Wait a second, are you saying that enough faith will allow me to determine my own reality, magically being able to receive a new car, a house, or whatever
I want?” The congregation turned out to be involved with the “Word
of Faith” movement, which might as well be called “New Age,”
and both are just forms of old-fashioned Hinduism. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x56b2.jpg)
![DAY 16: HAS TRANSLATION SOFTWARE
BROUGHT US BACK TO THE TOWER OF BABEL?In many ways, translation software has helped spread the message of Jesus. That said, Genesis 11:1 tells us that “the whole [ancient] world had one language and a common speech.” Is that being repeated today? We at Sunrise Bible Church and Get A Life Ministries (GetALifeMedia.com) get emails from all over the world, some causing me to squint my eyes and try to figure out the language. One message might look like it came from a Russian-speaking nation, while another resembles Spanish, though the spelling is so strange it may be Portuguese. Either way, these days all we have to do is easily cut and paste the sentence
into some translation website and we get instant readability. So, our language barriers are going away and mankind is again becoming united in our communications. This time it is in preparation for another of man’s major rebellions against their Creator, just like what happened with the Babylonians that God judged at their Tower of Babel. Who do you think will lead this future rebellion involving a one-world government and one-world religion? Of course, it will be considered a leap for mankind, an ascension of man, a new light in the world. But after a false peace for a few years, this collective of nations will turn out to be led by a man disguised
as benevolent, until he shows himself to be Satan’s murderous
deceiver—the Antichrist. And the one-world religious leader he
uses and then destroys will be the complicit False Prophet. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x55u9.jpg)
![DAY 15: WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [3 of 3] Seymour had no biblical education because his teacher, Parham, had little, just as Parham’s teachers, Dowie and Sandford, had little to none. Besides them, the New Thought founder (and root of the Word of Faith movement), Phineas Quimby, had none. This meant his trainees, Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science founder) and Warren Felt Evans, were also lacking biblical training. On top of that and going forward in time, Aimee Semple McPherson, who most Pentecostal and Word of Faith denominations come from, also lacked a biblical education. When you trace the history of the Word of Faith movement, here are their origins (and modern results tell us this): WOF was basically founded by biblically UNTRAINED leaders. They were not students of the Bible. Instead, they learned from PAGANS and CULTS. Still, even
with that non-biblical foundation, today they claim to be extra-spiritual, even more spiritual than other Christians. In fact, they say the rest of us suffer because we are missing out on their teachings. Besides the false teachings, in this way too, they create
division in the Church. Why do they do so? It’s because they are pushing
false teachings that most followers do not recognize as repackaged
Hinduism. With only a name change to “Word of Faith” teachers, our
Christian Church today has carbon copies of Hinduism’s leaders.
I believe WOF teachers are just modern-day Hindu gurus. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x54v2.jpg)
![DAY 14: WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3] One founder was William Seymour, a student of Charles Parham, and the creator of the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos, and everyone wanting to preach—most did. Were any speakers vetted to see if they were even Christians? Did anyone ask for a testimony to see if those teaching the crowd were even saved through Jesus? No, and no. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. At least Seymour realized they were occult people and stopped them from preaching, but those occult followers continued to attend and practice their weird worship—of who? Also strange for a church service were reports of kissing between unmarried persons. One of those who did not preach was Seymour, who just sat with his head in a crate; from
time to time he shouted, “Repent!” | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x54bo.jpg)
![DAY 13: WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [1 of 3] This question is related to the false claim that biblical “speaking in tongues” can be gibberish: Around 1900, with little biblical education, Charles Parham invented the idea that the language spoken in tongues MUST be unknown, meaning it must be gibberish. Parham attracted students and insisted they wear the latest clothing fashions, which goes right along with today’s Word of Faith people who tell us that Jesus wore designer clothing. So, Parham was the person responsible for originating the idea of unknown tongues, even though his first female student, Agnes Ozman, is now accredited by the Charismatic community as the first person to speak in gibberish tongues. But her
teacher Parham did that, and even Ozman did not believe him. She
taught that it must be a known language—in her case, Chinese. That account shows that even the Charismatic leaders have not gotten their foundational history right. Now, let me give you what Agnes Ozman actually uttered, what she characterized as “Chinese.” Though it’s hard to believe—and a bit funny if not so tragic for those following her teachings—this has been well documented. Without ever studying Chinese, Ozman not only claimed to speak it, she also said she could write it, both of which were untrue. Here’s part of what she supposedly said in Chinese: “Lazzo, lauzo, logal, eenie, meenie, minie, moe.” I did not make that up! And even if she blurted out some legitimate Chinese, which she
didn't because we know what she said, a Chinese message would
not end with the English phrase, “eenie, meenie, minie,
moe”—unless she was randomly choosing lunch. | image tagged in jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/6x53v8.jpg)
