Putting a New 'Face to Faith': Religious Sycretism


It has become apparent that ever since Prime Minister Tony Blair left office, he's been on his way to create a one world government and religion. One of the goals of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation is religious sycretism, bringing all faiths together for the common good of humanity and earth.

Religious syncretism is the combining of religious systems, and it is accomplished by creating dialogue between religions  to find common ground, and focus on their common beliefs or history, such as the Abrahamic religions.[1]  So far everyone has been falling for it, and he's been successful at finding international support for his plan.


Note the use of the Mandorla in the symbol often used in Catholicism, false world religions, and secret societies.

Already active in 19 countries around the world, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation’s Face to Faith program is a school curriculum that engages students of different faiths in meaningful dialogue across a range of cultures. It enables students to connect with others across the world, and prepares them to be citizens of the world. It provides the opportunity to discuss diverse and conflicting world views through video-conferences and a secure website.[2]

This is a sample of one of those Face to Faith video conferences.

Through these discussions between students, it creates an atmosphere of tolerance, which will eventually pave the way for the changed mindset that all religions are equal in their value, and that none of the religions gives access to complete and absolute truth.[3]

In the next video, you'll see how the Global Nomads Group have partnered with the Tony Blair Fatih Foundation to connect students using the video conferencing. Note the logo, locations of these schools, and that they involve charter schools as well. There is great importance in involving the youth, since they will help to create the new global mindset.

It is interesting to note that the Board of Directors for the Global Nomad Group has a representative from JP Morgan Chase Co. and Newsweek magazine.

The bottomline of this program is that this is clearly a system of antichrist. This program is the spiritual enemy of Christianity, so no committed Christian could possibly think that there is common ground with false religions. As Tony Blair is building spiritual bridges, Christianity is slowly being dismantled. The Church has entered a path that will attempt to banish her own existence.

Rick Warren is on-board with Tony Blair's Face to Faith plan. It explains why he has the questionable New Age speakers at his church.

"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." 1 John 4:2-3

Joel Osteen: Mormonism is Christian


Last week Pastor Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, spoke out about Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith. He said, “When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God — that he’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that he’s his Savior — that’s good enough for me.” He then goes onto say that he wants to be “inclusive” and welcoming to those who claim they accept Christ. That's an interesting word to pick.

This isn't the first time he's made this statement. He expounded on some of his other beliefs when he was on Oprah, and that's when he told the world there are many paths to Jesus.[1]

His choice of words concerning an "inclusive church" is quite revealing on his part. It is the third leg of Rick Warren's purpose driven/communitarian "three-legged-stool". The "inclusive church", according to Warren, is a church that includes a broad spectrum of believers with a common purpose. This fits very neatly in with Warren's PEACE Plan, and kingdom building with/for the Roman Catholic church.[2]

Here's the interview with Wolf Blitzer:

Shouldn't a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ be able to differentiate the truth from a lie? Since he is one of the Most Influential Christian Leaders in the U.S., he is leading many of the sheeple toward the wide gate. Let's look at some key differences between Christianity and Mormonism.

God
Christians
Mormons
  • "And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light: and there was light (Book of Abraham 4:3)
  • "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see," (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345).
  • "The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's," (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22; Compare with Alma 18:26-27; 22:9-10). 
  • "Therefore we know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body . . . of flesh and bones," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 38).
 Mormon's "sacred" under garments

The Trinity
Christians
  • The Trinity is the doctrine that there is only one God in all the universe and that He exists in three eternal, simultaneous persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 
Mormons
  • The Trinity is three separate Gods: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. "That these three are separate individuals, physically distinct from each other, is demonstrated by the accepted records of divine dealings with man," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 35).
 Mormons, as do other cults, uses the beehive in their symbolism. The beehive represents the Mother Goddess, and is part of Satan's Unholy Trinity (or triangle): Mother Goddess (the Queen Bee), Father of Light (Lucifer) and Antichrist, the Son of Perdition, all conspiring to take control of planet earth.[2]

Jesus
Christians
Mormons
  • Jesus is the literal spirit-brother of Lucifer, a creation (Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15).

Holy Spirit
Christians
Mormons 
  • Mormonism distinguishes between the Holy Spirit (God's presence via an essence) and the Holy Ghost (the third god in the Mormon doctrine of the trinity). "He [the Holy Ghost] is a being endowed with the attributes and powers of Deity, and not a mere force, or essence," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 144).
 First generation temples like the one located in Nauvoo, are loaded with Hermetic symbolism. The image of the "sunstone" is known to occultists as the symbol for Ba'al.[3]

Salvation 
Christians
  • Salvation is the forgiveness of sin and deliverance of the sinner from damnation. It is a free gift received by God's grace (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 6:23) and cannot be earned (Rom. 11:6).
  • Salvation (forgiveness of sins) is not by works (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 4:5; Gal. 2:21).
Mormons
  •  Salvation has a double meaning in Mormonism: universal resurrection and . . .
    "The first effect [of the atonement] is to secure to all mankind alike, exemption from the penalty of the fall, thus providing a plan of General Salvation. The second effect is to open a way for Individual Salvation whereby mankind may secure remission of personal sins," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 78-79).
  • "As these sins are the result of individual acts it is just that forgiveness for them should be conditioned on individual compliance with prescribed requirements -- 'obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel,'" (Articles of Faith, p. 79).
Another view of the symbol for Baal, we see the pentagrams on the side of their Navoo temple. They tell their members it represents Christ's condescension and then resurrection.

The Bible
Christians
  • The inspired inerrant word of God (2 Tim. 3:16). It is authoritative in all subjects it addresses.
Mormons
  • "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. . ." (8th Article of Faith of the Mormon Church).
Mormonism is not the biblical version of Christianity. It is not Christian, and Mormons serve a different god than do the Christians -- a god that does not exist.  Paul talks about this in Gal. 4:8, "Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods."  Only the God of the Bible exists.  There are no others. Mormonism puts its faith in a non-existent god.

Beck Recounts his Effort to Unify Religious Right Leaders


Glenn Beck is the guest all this week on James Robison's "Life Today" television program where he is discussing his book on on George Washington and other issues in between crying jags over how much he loves America.

Today, Beck recounted the first meeting he organized several years ago where he gathered together some thirty Religious Right leaders to tell them that God was calling them all to stand together in order to save this nation. That meeting eventually gave rise to the Black Robe Regiment and Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall, as Beck began to implore the leaders to come together and take a stand, just as Martin Luther King had done ... non-politically, of course:[1]


(YouTube link)

What better way to bring about unity than to find common ground amongst a spiritually uncommon people.  Upon closer examination, Beck is trying to use an ecumenical god, and a communitarian/New Age trick, to save it.

Note that Ralph Reed had something to do with the support of the Religious Right Wing meeting. If you recall, Ralph Reed attended a 2004 Bilderberg Conference meeting in Italy. I'd say they're more interested in unifying religions for the purpose of world government, than to hold our country together. Especially considering the comments James Robison made on his program to Father Jonathan Morris:
"I believe that I am going to get to see, and be a part of, Jesus prayer for us to have a oneness with the Father, and to see a perfectness and perfection coming from a supernatural unity. The world will know that we are His disciples because of our love, and I think I'm going to see that." 
The part that he leaves out is his involvement with the CNP, and that they have actually furthered the one world religion. James Robison and Glenn Beck are part of the religious system of the Antichrist, and they are leading the audience into a system of religion that is compromising - all for the sake of false unity.

Communitarianism: Collectivist Values in Transition - Part 2


Elite collectivist thinkers have a theory that individual rights have broken down the moral fiber of society.[1] Collectivists, through the Communitarian agenda, desire to create a new society within the shell of the old, with the philosophy of the new.

Communitarianism, also known as the Third Way:
  • is described as social cohesion that finds common ground, and is similar to nationalistic communism, or various forms of authoritarianism. 
  • Communitarian Elites believe that the rights of the individual must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, which is detrimental to individual liberty. 
  • Communitarianism embodies a vision of a social order that encourages communal bonds. 
  • Both Democrats and Republicans push Communitarian policies, [2][3]


American sociologist and educator Amitai Etzioni was one of the prominent founders of this newly shaped philosophy. He believes that individuals have been given too much freedom and not enough responsibilities. Etzioni and other communitarians are in favor of more obligations and fewer rights.[4]They desire the community to live up to the basic principle of the good society. But as you will learn, it will only be good for those in charge.

 President Obama is a communitarian and longtime admirer of Dr. Etzioni.
Newt Gingrich is an admirer of Alvin Toppler, the founder of another philosophy similar to Etzioni's called the Third Wave. 

Documented Evidence
In the following videos, you will get a glimpse of this good society. Amitai Etizioni, a globalist, discusses the foundations of communitarianism. He explains his ideas of finding a balance between individual rights and the responsibilities to community. He desires a Democracy (not a Republic), a new Bill of Rights, and a sense of mutual tolerance. Etzioni says that if the government gives, then something must be given in return.


(YouTube link)

These ideas may be sound to some, but let's see where the rubber meets the road - individual rights. Amitai Etzioni debates the rights of terrorists with an expert on the U.S. Constitution. You should know that the type of personal rights Etzioni favors isn't any different than a socialist/communist country. I can still recall some of the socialist countries I traveled through during my time in the military. We were warned about countries whose governments could arrest you, throw you in jail, and then throw away the key with no hearing or trial. Etzioni is advocating the same throwing away the key.


(YouTube link)

These are his views on censorship of hate speech. He believes that planning a crime is same as committing it.


(YouTube link)

Lastly - his views of the National ID. Etzioni says we already have it - through our driver's license. The ACLU rep. says there will be a form of internally used passport system. Etzioni views it as being necessary for security.


(YouTube link)

Roots of Communitarianism
Few realize that communitarianism can be traced back to early Roman Catholic monasticism, and more recently to the Catholic Worker movement (for social justice issues and it has Jesuit connections).[5] Based on research recorded on Oxford University Press site:
"In visionary and perfectionist Christian social thought the monastery, conceived of as orderly, simple and harmonious, has often stood as an institutional ideal. In high Anglican and Catholic Christian socialist tradition there is an emphasis on the special role and contribution to the wider world of individuals living in sacramental communities - a sacramental point can also be the base for effective social action. Communion, realized in community, gives individuals in turn a generalizable ideal for social relations - which ideal according to Christian socialists like F.D. Maurice and Thomas Mirfield, could be realized through Socialism. This ideal of community goes hand-in-hand with 'kingdom theology' - the project of realizing the kingdom on God on earth."
All of this fits in with Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan and the U.N. Millennial Development goals, where Christians will give their service to world mission projects. It uses the framework once used by the Roman Catholic church, who is actually shaping this. This global mission project is one being put together by the World Council of Churches, who is a participant observer in the civic and religious progress of globalization. This shift has been influencing the thinking of churches and theologians from within its ranks of a global society."[6]

 Rick Warren's plan

A Spiritual Perspective
This system of service and volunteering is a concept similar to the fellowship of Christian believers in Acts 2. We read about the saints selling their possessions and giving the proceeds to those believers in need. They shared meals with one another, their lives were interconnected, and they were single at heart. They drew on the strength Christ gave them.


With this socialism/communitarianism plan, the group works together within a community in a similar manner - but the government takes the place of God. The members of the group are not accountable to their maker, rather the state/federal government. It follows then that if you want to be a member of the group, you must give up your individual rights to gain protection from the group/government.

It is actually an antichrist system, since this group concept is a counterfeit to the real deal. Communitarians borrow ideas not only from Christianity, but also from ancient religions, Plato, Marx, Jefferson, Buber, and Madame Blavatsky.

But it doesn't end there. Amitai Etzioni  wants to use the goals of Christian Reconstructionism and Dominionism to replace the modern criminal code of the United States with Mosaic Law. [6] In turn, the Seven Laws of Noah, a set of moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of laws for the "children of Noah" – will be set in place. This will be the final system of law, when it is all said and done. (See this post for more)

The Year 2020
By the year 2020, we will be well on our way to living in a new global community. Nikki Raapana wrote about this in her book "2020: Our Common Destiny". This is what she had to say about communitarianism.


(YouTube link)

Does this coincide with what others in think tanks are saying? Yes, Jeremy Rifkin [7]explains that we are in the middle of a perfect storm. There are three sets of crisis our world is facing, and it is imperative that we get a plan for the future.


(YouTube link)

There are facilitators working in our local communities preparing for the transition into the new world. It isn't only happening in the U.S., but other key countries around the world, as well. The plan is called Vision 2020, it works hand-in-hand with the governments emissions target, and every city is being asked to provide their goals for sustainability. Here is one example of a Vision 2020 plan from Cheshire county, New Hampshire.

 (Click on image to read.)

You will learn that it is all being done under the guise of a sustainable community. As you will see in this site in the UK - it all being done for our well-being. They are pouring money into rebuilding the infrastructure of our cities.  These projects include transportation systems (roads, bridges, highways, public transportation, etc.), sewage system, utility systems (gas, electricity, water treatment and delivery), and its buildings (schools, court houses, sports facilities, and its public and private housing developments). Environmental risks are repaired, energy efficiency and plans for future community agriculture are addressed. Only one community discussed what was going to be required of each citizen, but that will be addressed later - for obvious reasons.

As we draw closer to that time, the Great Transition will take place. Not only will they transition communities, but they will transition every citizen from thinking of as an individual, to having him think about the collective.


In Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Lee Brain addressed a transition session. He also recruited members from the meeting to form the initiating [New Age word] transition team.


(YouTube link)

Conclusion
We can look forward to reform of all types. More food will be grown locally to support local communities, we will largely become vegetarian, and walking and bicycles will become the way to travel. The Elites say it will be for the betterment of humans and the earth, but it is all based upon a lie. This new type of global society will be provided a daily dose of propaganda, and they will be manipulated and controlled. The citizens of this global community will have no voice - the true peace the global government was looking for. The boogeyman of global warming and the need for a sustainable planet lurks behind every change being made. We will be told that our contribution to the group-cause claims will enable us to continue to live on this planet. Just as the Jamestown experiment went bad, so will this one.

'Common Ground' Between Theosophists and Christians?


Origin of 'Common Ground'
Christian reunification has been the objective of church organizations, such as: the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches USA, along with several others. Ecumenical cooperation has been encouraged among Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. During one of these regularly scheduled ecumenical events, various denominations teach their respective traditions and, at the same time, seek for common ground between these traditions.[1]

One of the primary forces steering ecumenical unity is the Vatican. Great strides were made by Pope John Paul II, since he voiced hope that since the second 1000 years was the millennium of Christian disunity, the third 1000 years would bring unity with the Protestant church. [2] Of course he means being reunited, since this has been the goal since the Reformation. The only way that would happen would be for Protestants to forget about their differences, and compromise the Word of God. How would a move toward compromise be made?

The Pope with the head of the Anglican Church and the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. 80% of Christianity was represented at this event for Christian dialogue.

Georg Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework for social solidarity. Hegel (1770 – 1831) was an occultist, who laid the foundation for Communist brainwashing. Today, his transformational process is being used to change churches, as well as: politics, education, business, and communities.


This system aims to criticize all points of view and to synthesize them into one unified result. The dialectic method uses dialogue between two or more people or groups holding different points of view, then conditions them to accept the compromise. [3] Since the dialectic process has been used in the Church by the introduction of the social gospel, old fashioned Christian ways of separation are quickly being changed and replaced by modern ideas of erasing lines between denominations. All of this is being done to ease the Church back under the Pope, then the next step of creating one religion.

The process goes like this:
  1. Dialogue is started between the groups with opposing ideas.
  2. Seek "common ground" in the midst of religious diversity.
  3. Show respect, tolerance, and appreciation for all beliefs and values - unless they reflect Biblical truth.
  4. Train everyone to share their feelings, listen with an empathetically, then identify opposing views.
  5. Introduce a compromise, in a way that participants will accept the change.
 Pope John Paul II gathered with leaders of false religions for a day of reflection,  
dialogue and prayer for peace and justice.

'Common Ground' with Theosophists
Willis Harman, is a Luciferian Theosophist, served as president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and is considered a metaphysical futurist. He taught during a conference heavily attended by leading Evangelicals for the purpose of finding "common ground" with Theosophists. These Consultations were attended by mainstream evangelical leaders, and they were sponsored by the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College. The second conference in 1979 titled, "Continuing Consultation on Future Evangelical Concerns" was summarized in a book An Evangelical Agenda: 1984 and Beyond.

According to the Chairman of the conference, Hudson T. Armerding, the President of Wheaton College, "We learn that the purpose of the conference was to “enlarge the vision of God’s people and enable them to have a still more effective stewardship of time and opportunity in these critical days.” Upon analysis, the conference transcripts suggest that they valued "common ground".

This Consultation represents one of the first publicly-disclosed occasions where Evangelicals and New Agers met together to address common ground. Is it possible that this event marked the beginning of the public phase of the integration of Theosophy with Christianity? Perhaps so, when you consider the proposals made by Willis Harman were to integrate the psychic into Christianity to create a new synthesized "truth."
 
 An ancient religious symbol used by the Nazi Party, a fertility ankh, and 6-pointed star make up the Theosophical Society logo.

Willis Harman's presentation to the evangelical leaders called for a “new” science, which he had termed “noetic” science, a Gnostic science, based on his research into the paranormal and the human brain. He listed such things as hypnosis, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis and psychic phenomena. He called for more scientific research into the “the world of inner experience,” meaning psychic phenomena. All this could create a future utopia.[4]
In the years to come, many of the evangelical leaders who attended these Consultations would go on to work on inventing new theologies. They initiated projects that would re-shape Christian theology into these futuristic and esoteric images of man and his destiny.[5]

These leaders attended one or more of the conferences and were well-known at the time. Many are still alive and active in Evangelical Church. It makes you wonder if they were uncomfortable participating in this event that is diametrically opposed to Christianity.
The Big: Why?
It is important to Theosophy, and these counterfeit Christians, that true believers accept their Cosmic/Masonic (New Age) Christ. It will help to create the paradigm shift they so fondly speak of. Certain Christian colleges have been created with the express purpose of promoting mysticism and accept New Age ideas. These same schools are accepting the newer versions of the Bible where New Age language is introduced. Theosophy and Christianity are slowly being drawn together and we can thank the Christian Masons for this - which is what Billy Graham has publicly displayed, but publicly denied.

Devil's Claw Masonic pose

How many believers will take the bait?

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
2 Cor. 11:13-15

“But there were false apostles also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

"Common Purpose" & the Third Way

Common Purpose is a fraudulent 'educational charity' acting as a change agent being used to recruit and train the change agents and devoted followers needed to implement the British and US government's hidden New World Order communitarian agenda.[1] Wikipedia describes the movement this way, but you'll need to read between the lines:
"Common Purpose runs a range of leadership development courses that offer participants the inspiration, knowledge and connections to help them become more active and engaged in society. Its courses run in 11 countries worldwide and aim at improving the way organizations work by increasing the number of informed individuals who are actively involved in shaping the future of the area in which they work."

The Communitarian agenda can be described as social cohesion that finds common ground that is similar with nationalistic communism, or various forms of authoritarianism. They believe that the rights of the individual must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, which is detrimental to individual liberty. Both Democrats and Republicans push Communitarian policies.[2][3]

The primary focus of this leadership style and training is to make change happen in:
  • Our Self
  • Others
  • Groups, and
  • Organizations
Communitarianism is the Third Way.[4] More simply put:

Communism + Capitalism = Communitarianism

The Third Way refers to various political positions which try to reconcile right-wing and left-wing politics by advocating a varying synthesis of right-wing economic and left-wing social policies.[5] All based on New Age thinking and terms.


One teacher of communitarian thought is Amitai Etzioni, who served as a Professor of Sociology at Columbia University for 20 years; part of that time as the Chairman of the department. He has served as Director of the Center for Communitarian Policy Studies at the George Washington University, Washington, DC. He served as a Senior Advisor to the White House on domestic affairs from 1979-1980 under Jimmy Carter. Etzioni is also the founder and director of a think-tank, Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies, that produces working papers and advises government officials in Washington.

Amitai Etzioni - a German Jew by the name of Werner Falk, is a former CFR member.

Etzioni has said in his writings:
“While governments across the world search for a new political synthesis, the theoretical debate has offered little to those interested in a new framework for progressive politics. This essay presents an account of what the Third Way really means, and roots it in a communitarian vision of the good society. It argues that such societies achieve a dynamic balance between state [public sector], market [private sector] and community [social sector]...."
The NWO communitarian agenda in the USA is being implemented through communitarian programs. Bush adviser Marvin Olasky, a Dominionist, favored religious solutions for communities, while others, like Etzioni and William Galston, prefer secular approaches." (See update about Etzioni)

Ultimately, it is a secret organization that is being used to form a New World Order control grid. The movement in the US was founded and is being led by these individuals, and George Soros funds the organization.

Brian Gerrish has been instrumental in exposing this political agenda in the UK, he explains that it is in schools, hospitals, the military, the police force, and many organizations. In the following interview, Brian Gerrish describes how far these Third Way groups have advanced their agenda, and how similar it is at fulfilling Hitler's dream of a New World Order.
