Where to Draw the Line with the Occult Conspiracy Information

Satan has long been known as "the prince of this world"; "the prince of the power of the air", "the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience"; and "the god of this world". It doesn't take long to learn that his purpose is to destroy Christianity, just as he would like to destroy empires, nations,  and the traditional family. Through this destruction, he plans to set himself up as the Most High God, and leave man defenseless in the face of one-world tyranny.


With the advent of the internet, we are beginning to see and hear more about the Luciferian world government, and the fulfillment of scripture is happening daily right before our eyes. Many Christians have begun to wake up to realize this Satanic conspiracy has advanced much further than they would ever imagine. Many are waking up to the falsehood of the Reconstructionist/Dominionist/ecumenical movements, the Purpose Driven Church, the Word of Faith, and the extreme Paganism of the Roman Catholic church, and realizing that it is all an important part of the end game. We are all saddened by how many wolves have crept in and infiltrated many high positions in the organized/corporate Church, not to mention the multitude of cults.

Trusting Christians have been lulled into a false sense of security believing that the majority of Bible teachers tell the truth, therefore they have trusted many false teachings, each for its own appointed purpose. It seems as though God is judging the Church by placing blinders on her in order to allow the apostasy. Since the modern church has been taught to "touch not the Lord's anointed", these apostates have been permitted to propagate their lies, such as: the pretribulation rapture, Israel can do no wrong, and it is the Christians job to take dominion of the world.

Chuck Missler - Popular author and conference speaker involved with government black ops projects.

Benny Hinn says that the Lord Jesus Christ will one day be on his stage (see video 8:55 on counter.).

Christians listen to advice on who to vote for, and why it is important to become politically involved.

 Dr. James Dobson - an advocate for traditional family values, but encourages Christians to become politically involved for the Fascist-driven Right Wing agenda.

Many of us have believed that politicians can be used as a way to solve the world's problems, only to learn they are part of a Luciferian cult ushering in a Satanic agenda.

George W. Bush - Skull and Bones - His grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer.

Corporations are also part of this occult conspiracy, and we can spot their membership through their corporate occult symbolism. With each discovery, we can see how overwhelming Satan's kingdom on earth has become...

 The 3 claw strikes in the Monster Energy logo means 666 in Hebrew.

...and the orchestrated collapse of the economic system only edges it all on.

  The meaning of the Mandorla. also known as the  vesica piscis  depicts the interactions and interdependence of opposing worlds and forces. It is this correlation, and its relation to rebirth and regeneration that remains a basic truth at the very core of occult structural foundations.

So we earnestly study to learn who the infiltrators are, and try to spot them by their symbolism and personal/professional associations - which is a dead giveaway. With the study, comes a great weight on our heart. The Bible says, 
"For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow" Ecc. 1:18. 
In other words, this type of information becomes a burden with each new piece of the puzzle. A Christian can begin to feel very insignificant in an evil world where he is surrounded on all sides with no hope of escape. Knowing how vast this agenda is, we begin to examine each minister of the Gospel with a critical eye to see if he is one of the many double-agent con artists, and question ourselves to whether mental illness maybe setting in. You don't know if your long-trusted TV preacher maybe part of this Satanic conspiracy, question if our local pastors are brainwashed by nationally accepted false teachings that are leading to fulfill globalist goals. It prevents you from thinking that there is safety in any institutional/corporate Christian ministry.

John MacArthur teaches the pretribulation rapture lie and supports neoconservatism. His ministry logo indicates he worships the sun god of the mystery religions.

After a while, you may wonder if all of this information is actually hindering your walk with the Lord, instead of helping it. Besides, aren't we called to think upon "whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue..." This conspiracy information is farfetched from that!

Be ye separate...

 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."  2 Corinthians 6:17

This places you and I in a peculiar position. If we feel compelled to learn how ministries and the world are preparing us for the New World Order and the end game, shouldn't we know? Since Christians will be marked for persecution in the last days, wouldn't it be wise to know who the enemy is?

Psalm 119:97-104 says that obedience to God's Word will make us wiser than our enemies, and have more understanding than our teachers. It is wise to refrain our feet from evil. So how do we do that?

One of the approaches that may be helpful to take while researching is to differentiate which information you have a "need to know" and which information will defile you. Knowing signs and symbols will not defile you, however my greatest concerns are some of the images in the videos and books we are using to learn about their evil plan. Even when the videos and books are produced/written by a professing Christian, there is no guarantee that we won't be defiled. For example, some of the videos produced by Pastor Joe Schimmel. They are extremely informative, he seems to be a genuine Christian, yet at the same time many of the scenes violate the very principles of separation. The images in his new Emergent church production titled The Submerging Church are full of important information, yet the perverted images  are still burned in my brain. He also produced the video "They Sold Their Souls For Rock And Roll" ... filled with dark imagery, gross lyrics, and perverted scenes.

Another example is Chris Pinto's production on the New Age movement, where he had footage of Ozzie Osborne singing about Aleister Crowley, along with a few other corrupt segments. He had some footage I wish I had never seen or heard, and the memory of it is still impressed on my mind. It becomes apparent that once we cross the line with some of this occult conspiracy information, there is a price to pay. If one is not careful, a slow-moving Satanic hook is ready to trap every believer and reel him in.

 Chris Pinto's ministry logo with lightening - a symbol for Satan (Luke 10:18). He does seem like a genuine Christian, but he has several questionable associations and in-depth expose material.

As for myself, I started my journey into research about 3 years ago - 2009 - after I left the Word of Faith. After I repented from it and the Lord began to open my eyes to the lies and deception involved in this cult, I wanted to know how I was fooled. I found two YouTube blogs and watched them on a regular basis where they disclosed the occult conspiracy. Unfortunately, neither of them are producing videos today, because the enemy reeled them in on his hook. You could see it in the way they talked and presented themselves - which showed a steady downward decline. I know at least one of them read many of the books by these New Age occultists, especially Madame Blavatzky's books. From what I've heard, her book comes with a stern warning by her. I personally believe it was Blavatsky's books that caused his life to unravel.

Walking in the darkness is talked about in 1 John 1:5-7, which is essentially what occurs when you cross the line into some of this reading material.


"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
This reminds me of a song my children used to sing at Sunday school - one that taught how to protect yourself from the darkness of the world.


O be careful little eyes what you see
O be careful little eyes what you see
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little eyes what you see


O be careful little ears what you hear
O be careful little ears what you hear
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little ears what you hear...

The Bible says that "The eye is the lamp of the body" - so if we continue to violate God's Word by partaking in darkness, Satan will have a surer and faster hold of our soul.

 Glenn Beck, who is heavily involved in the ecumenical movement, gives the Masonic sign of silence.

Conclusion
Every Christian should draw the line by not viewing video depicting partially clad women, occult practices, ceremonies, worship, and the in-depth detail; and occult writing should be off limits to every believer who has faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We will read historical quotes by these conspirators in our research, which serves as a good learning tool, so I don't believe they are harmful by themselves. The books, however, should be off limits. Also, be cautious of those who have claimed to read these books for the cause of research, because they may be part of this quick-moving conspiracy. They may have motives for why they were reading the material, other than curiosity.

I may be wrong, but I believe that some of this information on the occult is working to indoctrinate/initiate this generation, since so many principles are being revealed. Just as Jesus slowly worked in our hearts before we fully accepted Him as Lord, the evil one is working the same way with his written material, music, movies, and TV shows.

We live in days of great deception. May God give His Church the ability to see how this generation is being held captive by elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Dr. James Dobson & His New World Order Dirty Money


Erik Dean is founder and owner of the private military company Xe Services LLC, formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide. Considered as part of the Carlyle Group's military industrial complex, it was founded in 1998. Prince took a behind-the-scenes role in the company after 9/11, is a member of the Knights of Malta,  and he has connections to the Republican Party through his father. 

His late father, auto-parts magnate Edgar Prince, was instrumental in the creation of the Family Research Council, one of the right-wing Christian groups most influential with the George W. Bush administration. At Erik's father's funeral in 1995, he was eulogized by two supporters of the Christian conservative movement, James Dobson and Gary Bauer.[1]


(YouTube link)

Edgar Prince's widow, Elsa, who remarried after her husband's death, has served on the boards of the Family Research Council, and another influential Christian-right organization, Dobson's Focus on the Family. She currently runs the Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation, where, her son Erik is a vice president. The foundation has given lavishly to some of the marquee names of the Christian right. Between July 2003 and July 2006, the foundation gave at least $670,000 to the Family Research Council and $531,000 to Focus on the Family.


Both Edgar and Elsa have been affiliated with the Council for National Policy, the Christian conservative organization that has its meetings behind closed doors, and whose meetings have been attended by globalists Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Bremer, and whose membership is rumored to include the late Jerry Falwell, Ralph Reed and Dobson. The Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation gave the CNP $80,000 between July 2003 and July 2006.[2]

Presently, Erik Prince is living abroad in the United Arab Emirates, where he has been contracted to create a mercenary force.


Ecumenical Activity and Dominion Theology
Dr. Dobson and Charles Colson, highly regarded for promoting ecumenism, were two participants in a 2000 conference at the Vatican on the global economy's impact on families. During the conference, the two Protestants met with Pope John Paul II. Dobson later told Catholic News Service that though he has theological differences with Roman Catholicism, "when it comes to the family, there is far more agreement than disagreement, and with regard to moral issues from abortion to premarital sex, safe-sex ideology and homosexuality, I find more in common with Catholics than with some of my evangelical brothers and sisters."

In November 2009, Dobson signed an ecumenical statement known as the Manhattan Declaration calling on evangelicals, Catholics and Orthodox to stand together for family issues.[3]

James Dobson is a Nazarene, taking a vague position on eschatology. His organization, through Citizen Magazine, does display a Dominion Theology type of worldview that the Church will overcome evil through its social and political action.  Dobson is also noted by Texe Marrs as being a Christian Zionist, and he has used fear tactics while talking about Islam in America.

Dobson’s agenda implies that Christians are to confront the world system through efforts of social and political action - which is what Dominion Theology speaks to. When Christians believe they will succeed in the world system through psychological, social and political techniques, and through their own self-efforts, they have missed something essential. The Scriptures indicate the world will hate Christians and that our Kingdom is not of this world.[4]

Do I believe that James Dobson knows that he molds public opinion? Yes. Do I believe he will convince Christians to support US efforts in the Middle East to create order? Yes. Do I believe Dobson will use his voice that will convince Christians to go along with world government? Yes. He may longer be the Chairman of Focus, but he still has a voice.

The Legitimate & Illegitimate "Kingdom Theology"

After researching the Council for National Policy and learning that the well-known Christian leaders in our country are a bunch of phonies, it made me wonder about their belief system. It made me wonder what their biblical understanding on end time doctrine is, in order for them to make the decisions they have been making on a professional and personal basis. I have come to learn that they are adherents to Dominion Theology, which comes by different names.

Al Dager wrote a series of informative articles on Kingdom Theology. He starts by explaining the illegitimate theology:
"...the basic premise of the movement which, simply stated, is that before Jesus can return, the Church must establish the Kingdom of God on earth by taking control over every aspect of life through the establishment of a theocratic government.
"Before we proceed further, I feel it necessary to point out that there is a legitimate "Kingdom Theology" based upon proper exegesis of Scriptural prophecy. Jesus will return at the end of this age to establish God's authority over the nations of the earth. Until then, the Kingdom of God continues to operate through the administration of the Holy Spirit resident in the hearts of God's people. The Kingdom of God already exists therefore, and will one day be manifested throughout the earth during Jesus' millennial reign.

To differentiate between God's legitimate "Kingdom Theology" and man's attempt to bring it into existence through his own efforts before Jesus' Second Coming, we'll call man's attempt "Kingdom Now Theology," or "Dominion Theology" (using these terms interchangeably). This will help us separate the error from the truth.

To accomplish the monumental task of taking dominion, a significant number in the Church must come into "unity" of thought and purpose to that end. While the goal of the Kingdom builders is total unity, they realize that partial unity may be all they can attain. Whatever the case, the realization of any significant degree of unity necessitates a single voice of authority: a hierarchical structure through which individual believers will receive the necessary pronouncements to exercise dominion.

The voice of authority, it is believed, will reside in certain latter-day apostles and prophets operating in conformity to their own peculiar interpretation of Ephesians 4:11-12: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

In order for the saints to be perfected (made sinless) there must be a restoration of the offices of apostles and prophets. It is a major prerequisite, therefore, that the apostles and prophets be recognized by the Church at large. (It's interesting that we are currently seeing certain well-known Christian leaders referring to one another as "apostles" and "prophets".)

Once they are acknowledged, these apostles and prophets will bring forth new revelations from God, which will be the guiding principles in establishing the Kingdom. These revelations will be given to the Church through the evangelists, pastors, and teachers who accept the hierarchy's authority.

One manner in which the apostles and prophets will receive these new revelations will be through communication with heavenly beings (angels and departed saints), as well as with God - and specifically Jesus. It's expected that many of these "new revelations" will be authenticated through demonstrations of power in the working of miracles, signs and wonders.

Some also believe that for dominion to be effected, the world's wealth must be under the control of the Church. Hence the emphasis on prosperity and "divine health" as well as the ability to speak into existence things that are not as though they are (God-likeness).

After the Church has taken dominion, its task will be to purge the earth of evil,which is defined as lawlessness against God's moral laws and against the established authority of the apostles and prophets. This accomplished, the earth will be ready to be turned over to Jesus when He returns (some say 'if' He returns).

We will find as we continue our study that at the heart of Dominion Theology is the belief that man is a god and, as such, must exercise his godhood through dominion. The current teaching that man is a god is essentially a theosophic concept which can be traced to the beginning of man's history."
This strangely sounds like the teachings of the Word of Faith movement, but they don't come out and tell you in so many words. Al Dager goes onto discuss how the belief in Dominion Theology and Kingdom Now has crept into the Church. I think this will open your eyes!
Though modern theosophy, in all its forms, makes certain teachings of the ancient mysteries available to the masses, these are only the exoteric teachings. The deeper esoteric mysteries are reserved for those initiated through secret rites, sworn to secrecy under penalty of death.
Those teachings permitted for the masses have found their way into the Church. They have developed into a form of "Christian" theosophy which has affected many otherwise uncompromising Christians who, if they would keep their heads about them, would suffer death to maintain the inviolable position that deity is an attribute of God alone.

There is a reason for Satan's emissaries infecting the Church with the damnable heresy that we are or can become gods. To the esotericist, bent upon establishing 'men' as gods, all monotheistic religions are anathema and their adherents must be converted or at least subjugated to the spiritual hierarchy (the spirit beings guiding mankind).

Since the Church alone has the power of God to resist the deceptions of Satan, it 'must' be made to believe his lies. If the Church can be corrupted or neutralized, Satan will have a clear path toward uniting the world against God. Thus any opposition to deception in the Church must be stifled under the pretense that such opposition sows discord among the brethren and hinders unity.

Satan's lies have found fertile ground in the Church not only because many Christians lack knowledge, but because they lack the necessary humility that can protect them against deception. Seeking their own wills above God's will, they are easy prey for deceivers who exalt men and/or the Church to the status of godhood and promote Satan's lies within the Church, lies characterized by the following teachings:
  • Men are gods;
  • Men may become gods;
  • Men may become like God;
  • Faith is a "law" or "force" that may be activated by anyone - believer or not;
  • The ability to perform miracles, signs, and wonders is latent within all; we need but learn the techniques that activate the spiritual laws upon which faith is based;
  • God is bound by these spiritual laws, and must respond to anyone - even His worst enemies - who exercises knowledge of them;
  • as "gods" ("divine beings") we have the "divine right" to health and prosperity'
  • Jesus is our "Elder Brother" who mastered the spiritual laws of Nature, and is therefore our example to do the same;
  • Men may become perfected spiritually and physically by mastering these spiritual laws;
  • The Kingdom of God will be established on earth when a sufficient number of people have been perfected.
No doubt many who teach these things would deny they are theosophists. In all probability they think of themselves as true Christians who have received special revelations from God. But whether they adhere to theosophical doctrines consciously or are merely pawns in the battle of the ages is immaterial. A child playing with matches needn't have knowledge of the damage he can cause.

It's evident from the recent emergence of these aberrant teachings within the Church that - through schooling and/or personal association - theosophy is having a significant impact upon some of today's prominent teachers.

I believe some of these teachers, though sincere in their profession of faith in Jesus, are themselves victims of esotericists who knew how to use biblical and Christian terminology to gain their confidence, or they learned from others who were victims.

Esotericists have made special efforts to merge their secret teachings with the basic tenets of the Christian faith, resulting in some rather interesting esoteric interpretations of Scripture. The major Christian doctrines - the deity of Christ; His Virgin Birth, His sacrifice for sin, His Resurrection, and His Second Coming - can be made to fit perfectly well into the theosophical model of religion. But their aberrant interpretations of these basic doctrines, unless openly stated, will escape the average Christian and deceive him into placing his trust where he ought not. (1)
 

I know that many Assemblies of God read Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life together, and he is led by the "Kingdom Now" theology. Warren has said:
"The bottom line is that we intend to reinvent mission strategy in the 21st century. As I stated, this will be a new Reformation. The First Reformation returned us to the message of the original church. It was a reformation of doctrine - what the Church believes. The Second Reformation will return us to the mission of the original church. It will be a reformation of purpose - what the church does in the world.
“Our goal will be to enlist one billion foot soldiers for the Kingdom of God, who will permanently change the face of international missions to take on these five ‘global giants’ for which the church can become the ultimate distribution and change agent to overcome Spiritual emptiness, Self-serving Leadership, Poverty, disease and ignorance (or illiteracy).” [2]
A little like World Socialism.
How do you determine who has brought into Dominion Theology is their worldview? 
1) Those that believe that their church, the Church, or even the ecumenical world church will control government on the earth before any physical return of Jesus Christ to the earth in glory are some form of dominionist.


2) The “Christian Right” has many dominionist leaders, especially those that are pushing ecumenicalism and those that teach that we need to take the nation or the world for Christ. Dominion Theology teachers lead a large segment of the Charismatic and Pentecostal movements.

3) Liberal Christians pushing ecumenicalism often are dominionists. Much of the leadership of the “Promise Keepers” men's movement embraces Dominion Theology.

4) Much of the “seeker friendly purpose driven” church growth movement has a dominionist world social agenda. The Catholic Church has a Dominion worldview. Even the ultra right Christian patriot and the Christian identity cults believe the unbiblical worldview of Dominion Theology.
 
Christian groups that cannot see eye to eye on almost anything else unite on the agenda that the Christian mission is to bring about peace and prosperity on the earth.Dominion Theology leads to a Laodicean false hope of physical security.

Who in leadership believes this stuff?
1) Pat Robertson is careful about revealing his belief in Dominion Theology. Robertson believes in a literal rapture of the saints, but not until there has been a great revival that will result in a godly society run by the Church.
2) Those who believe in the 5-fold Ministry.
3) The officers and trustees of Charismatic Bible Ministries. (See list that was current at that time.)
4) Jerry Falwell, D. James Kennedy, Tim LaHaye, Dr. Charles Stanley, Charles Colson, and James Dobson.

Dager lists different schools of doctrine within the general heading of Kingdom Theology that have come and gone or still remain:
  • Latter Rain
  • Manifested Sons of God
  • Restoration
  • Reconstruction
  • Charismatic Renewal
  • Shepherding/Discipleship
  • Kingdom Message
  • Positive Confession (Word-Faith) 

They Use Kingdom Now Terminology:

  • Dominion
  • Overcomer(s)
  • Word-Faith
  • Spoken Word
  • Confess(ion)
  • Latter Rain
  • Tabernacle of David
  • Feast of Tabernacles
  • Many-membered man child
  • Ongoing incarnation
  • Birthing in the Spirit
  • Get this into your spirit
  • Manifestation of the Kingdom
  • Serpent's seed
  • Faith in faith
  • God's faith
  • Manifestation of the Sons of God
  • God-like faith
  • Unity of the (Universal) Body
  • Kingdom language
  • Kingdom principles
  • Christ principles
  • Elijah company
  • Bride company
  • Covenant people
  • Raising up a people
Conclusion
Dager established in an earlier section of his article that many of the adherents of Kingdom Theology believe that we have His divine nature:
"Notice that this idea, similar to that of mind science and other false religions, separates the anointing of "Christ" from Jesus and bestows it upon all who come into a place of certain knowledge and spiritual attainment. This is a heresy that is as old as the Church. It is rooted in the Greek school of philosophy known as Gnosticism."

As you well know by now, Gnosticism is the basis of the Freemason belief system. It is a system of heresy and it is fearlessly leading men and women into darkness - and taking the Church with them. They will be behind accelerating Bible prophesy, while trying to bring in the kingdom of darkness. Perhaps this will explain why the Church has been involved in the political arena as it has, as well as social projects. I hope that you will help someone else wake up, after faithfully finishing this article.

The Council for National Policy - The One World Christian Organization

Rev. Sun Myung Moon of "The Moonies" Unification Church, sponsored the founding of the organization Council for National Policy (CNP), which was founded in 1981 by Tim LaHaye. As you may recall, Rev. Moon's claims include stating that Christ failed His mission, and that Moon himself is the "new messiah" who is come to fulfill the mission of God. 

The Council for National Policy (CNP), is a networking group for social conservative activists in the U.S. It has been described by the The New York Times as a "little-known group of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country," who meet three times yearly behind closed doors at undisclosed locations for a confidential conference. [1]


In these meetings they are said to discuss issues involving: 1) free enterprise, 2) defense, and 3) traditional western values. The CNP describes itself as a counterweight against liberal domination of the American agenda.

Looking into some of the CNP officers, we find not only a strong association with Moon, but also powerful ties with the CIA and the Council on Foreign Relations, not to mention association with high-level Freemasonry for which many conspiracy researchers have more than a mere elementary knowledge related to the New World Order. Another past President of CNP is Rich DeVoss, co-founder of Amway (and 33rd degree Mason). [2] William Rusher, who was editor of William F. Buckley's National Review, is a member. These findings should not be surprising since the CNP was an extension of the John Birch Society whose early leadership consisted of members either directly or indirectly associated with the CFR. [3] It should be noted here that the John Birch Society was founded by William F. Buckley, who is also a Skull & Bonesman and Knight of Malta member. 

Besides CFR and Religious Roundtable members, the upper echelon of the Council for National Policy were basically refugees from the defunct Western Goals Foundation, the domestic surveillance outfit of the John Birch Society which included high-ranking members of the fascist World Anti-Communist League, Knights of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, as well as Sun Myung Moon and Freemasonry. [4]

So, which Christians have an association with this council? Members of the CNP have included:
Beverly and Lee LaHaye, also associated with Moons CWA group. Gary Bauer, Bill Bright, James Dobson (Focus On The Family), Bob Dugan, Ron Godwin, Robert Grant, Rebecca Hagelin, Bob Jones III (Bob Jones University), Alan Keyes (Outspoken ultra-conservative black talk show host and author), Dr. D. James Kennedy (noted television evangelist and Pastor), Peter Marshall, Sam Moore of Thomas Nelson Publishing, Pat Robertson (founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and former Presidential aspirant), Rev. Duane Motley, Ralph Reed, Oliver North (formerly with the National Security Council), Phyllis Schlafly (ultra-right columnist and pundit), Rev. Jim Woodall, John Ankerberg (internationally recognized Christian television personality), Rev. E.V. Hill, James Robison, Jay Sekulow (Attorney and activist for ultra-right/Christian causes), Pat Boone, Reed Larson, Larry Burkett, John Copeland (son of Kenneth Copeland), and many others.
 
Some of the political leaders involved with the Moon sponsored CNP group include Senators Jesse Helms, Don Nickles, and Trent Lott. Also Representatives Tom DeLay, Dan Burton, Bob Dornan, Former Gov. Sarah Palin. [5] [6] [7]
 
Groups belonging to the Roundtable include:
The Christian Broadcasting Network, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Moral Majority, Christian Voice, Church League of America, National Religious Broadcasters, Campus Crusade for Christ, Plymouth Rock Foundation, National Association of Evangelicals, Gideon Bible, Wycliffe Bible Associates,  International Charismatic Bible Ministries,
and Intercessors for America. 
 
Basically what we have here is a Christian version of the Council on Foreign Relations, whose goal it is for world government. 
So as you can see, we have a blend of ecumenical fakes. Could this be the one aspect of the 'falling away' the Church so often preached by these same evangelicals? The great 'apostasy' will render much of the Christian Church faithless, and subject to the manipulation by the Antichrist. Is it any wonder?

The Manhattan Declaration


The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience is a manifesto issued by evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox Christian leaders to affirm support for the pro-life movement, traditional marriage (vs., for example, same-sex marriage), and one's right of freedom of religion (in particular, condoning civil disobedience against laws contradicting those understandings of life and marriage). It was drafted on October 20, 2009 and released November 20, 2009, having been signed by more than 150 American religious leaders.

The drafting committee includes evangelical leader Charles Colson, Princeton University professor Robert P. George, and Beeson Divinity School dean Timothy George. [1]

The signatures of those known for softer sentiments toward ecumenism and leanings toward outward shows of unity such as Ravi Zacharias, Ron Sider, J. I. Packer, Leith Anderson, Ken Boa, James Dobson, Jerry Jenkins, Tim Keller, Joseph Stowell, Kay Arthur, Jonathan Falwell, Wayne Grudem, Josh McDowell and anyone connected with Christianity Today.  A bit more surprising are Mark Bailey, Randy Alcorn, Bryan Chapell, Joni Eareckson Tada, Michael Easley, Michael Youssef, and in particular Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Joining this roster of evangelicals are numerous Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox priests and bishops. Vocal opponents include R. C. Sproul, John MacArthur, Michael Horton and Alistair Begg. [2] [3]

Those who opposed the document say that:
It must first of all be recognized that Satan is more than willing to give ground on moral and secondary matters if by doing so he can compromise or cripple the gospel message or its proclamation.  I believe The Manhattan Declaration does this in a number of ways:
It confuses the gospel.  Although no clear definition for the gospel is found within the document, we are repeatedly assured that the signatories all believe and preach the same gospel message.  This is reinforced by the clear indication throughout that evangelicals, Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are all “Christians” and thus members of Christ’s body.   This is a subtle but serious dilution of the understanding of the Christian faith.
It confuses the Christian mandate.  While we all lament the loss of certain freedoms and the moral decay that is increasingly evident in our culture we should remind ourselves of our calling.  What our Savior commissioned us to do is clearly stated in Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 1:8.  We are called to make disciples of all nations, teaching them what the Lord has taught us and baptizing them in the name of the Triune God. The church is not called to change society by legislative action, lobbyist activity, or moral declarations.
