Why Brannon Howse Doesn't Smell Like a Rose - 1/2

 The index finger pointing to the sky is a Masonic sign that symbolizes 

the Sign of Preservation, a prayer for protection.

Brannon Howse has come to be a favorite of mine over the past year. I went to see him in Chesterfield county, VA, where he spoke in a Southern Baptist church. As I was listening to him speak, I found a kindred spirit in him, in that he is someone who fully understands the state of the Church. In his fast-paced presentation, He was point-on many of the misguided steps of some of the groups where I found fault. He also spoke about a few of the 21 radicals whose worldviews are ruling our world from the grave. He understands the implications and seriousness of the Emergent church, the Purpose Driven seeker-friendly church, those involved in theocracy-driven Dominion theology...he knows about all of it, and he's brave enough to speak about it.

But with closer examination, I believe Brannon isn't the squeaky-clean Christian boy from Tennessee - the one we are being led to believe he is. I have known all along that there are many speakers for his Worldview Weekend seminars who are known Freemasons and Council of National Policy, but I had tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. It's in my nature to do so. I had convinced myself that perhaps he didn't have the ability to discern people. But the mounding evidence of bad alliances has finally worked against him. Let's take a look at some of his accomplishments and his conference speakers.

• Brannon is President and founder of American Family Policy Institute (AFPI). The AFPI is an affiliate of American Family Association. The AFA president is Don Wildmon/ Council National Policy (CNP). They advocate dominionist teachings, and he is a Christian Zionist. [1][2]
• David Noebel, President of Summit Ministries, is on the CNP.[3] 
• Chuck Missler, was once in senior management of Ford Motor Company (former Nazi alliances), a member of Chuck Smith's ministry team at Calvary Chapel, a member of the CNP, and part of an Illuminati project called SwanSat.[4]
• Brannon has been a featured speaker at Dr. D. James Kennedy's (CNP and Reconstuctionist) "Reclaiming America Conference" and Beverly Lahaye's "Concerned Women of America." Both Tim and Beverly Lahaye have Masonic connections and CNP.[5]

 

The Cross and Crown have long been an identifier to fellow Masons. 

• Gary DeMar, Reconstructionist [6]
• Kay Arthur, Freemason, feminist [7]
• Brannon provides his 'Israel can do no wrong' undying support of  the Zionist regime of Israel.
• He is going to Israel with Jimmy DeYoung, a believer in the Masonic/Jesuit-inspired pre-trib rapture.[8]
• Brannon uses Dietrich Bonhoeffer as an example of Christian courage in the German church during WWII. Bonhoeffer was the same man who wanted to murder Hitler. If he had read any of Bonhoeffer's books, he would know that he was not a Christian, and he in fact furthered the ecumenical movement. He had Eric Metaxes, writer of the Bonhoeffer book, on his radio program. Metaxes is a man with an agenda. [9][10][11]
• Josh McDowell, who is a member of CNP, affiliated with Campus Crusade for Christ and Bill Bright. Bill Bright won the ecumenical Templeton Award.

Unfortunately, I could go on and on. Is Brannon innocent and merely guilty by association? Once I read a little more of the New Age book The Aquarian Conspiracy and how to bring about a revolutionary paradigm shift, I was convinced he knew exactly what he's been doing - and I know his angle.

In a post a couple weeks back, I talked about how change agents, such as the Illuminati, have created the "us vs. them" dialectic

. In that particular post, I said that they place an intentional wedge between social groups. For instance, it's the wealthy vs. the poor, and the Republicans vs. the Democrats. They also point to social groups that will get the blame for problems for social discontent. I then concluded that their logic of making everyone equal would solve the inequality problem, thus making Socialism the answer to the problem.

It is my opinion, Brannon is using the same methodology to create this "us vs. them" division within the Church, at the same time promoting the Zionist agenda. Using the strategies taught in The Aquarian Conspiracy, transformation within the Church could occur.

Follow my thinking for a moment. Brannon has found a following of Christian Fundamentalists, since they believe the Word of God and are opposed to heretical modernism in theology. As he exposes the false teaching in the Church, it draws more fundamentalists out to listen to his educational ministry. As he brings the troops/followers together, they call out more heretics in the Church. Most preachers of modern teaching don't appreciate being called a heretic and it casts them in a bad light, so there will then be a need to muzzle the Christian Fundamentalist. The elite powers believe that there is no place for intolerance in our country! So, what happens?

Intolerant Christian Fundamentalist + Muzzle = Social Paradigm Shift within the Church

The world hasn't changed the Christian Fundamentalist in the way he thinks, but it has provided the change agents with exactly what they want - the silenced Christian.

I want to say in closing that although I do believe Brannon Howse is a change agent, I don't know for sure if he's a Freemason - but evidence does point to it. I don't know for certain if he's a member of any subversive quasi-Christian group. But until he changes his conference speakers, I'll no longer support his ministry.

Glenn Beck: Propogating Lies about Bonhoeffer

(Fox News link)

Dietrich Bonhoeffer has become the hero of many Christians, but it is all based on the spin of Eric Metaxas. Bonhoeffer is being viewed as a devote Christian, yet he actually held unorthodox views of Christianity. He was one of the fathers of the "death of God" teachings, and he consistently had a low view of the Bible, considering a lot of it as a myth. He denied the deity of Jesus Christ, and did not believe in the resurrection. Bonhoeffer attended a Communist seminary in NY City, and was in on the ground floor of the ecumenical movement.

Ironically, Metaxas is promoted and endorsed by purpose-driven, seeker-sensitive Rick Warren.  That should tell us something in and of itself!  In the interview with Warren, Metaxas says proudly that Bonhoeffer is a “Barthian,” as if this is a good thing.  Karl Barth was endorsed and promoted by Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII as being as great a theologian as Thomas Aquinas, who was a pagan Catholic that taught mysticism and contemplative prayer.[1]

An interesting tidbit about Metaxas is that he has aligned himself with the leaders of dominion theology and the prophetic movement. In Rick Joyner's website, there was an ad for a conference held in January 2009 on Kingdom Business. Eric Metaxas was one of the keynote speakers for this conference, along with Lance Wallnau. In his write-up, it states that he has written for Chuck Colson (ecumenism's man of the hour), the New York Times (has for decades had a soft spot for Communism[2]), and Christianity Today (Billy Graham's liberal magazine). 

Eric Metaxas presently attends Calvary/St. George’s Episcopal Church, which is a member of the Anglican Communion, and he lives in Manhattan, New York. In this interview, he provides his testimony.

Metaxas essentially hijacked Bonhoeffer, and rewrote him in such a way that he would appeal to today's evangelicals. The question lies with whether he tried to intentionally deceive evangelicals into believing Bonhoeffer was someone he wasn't. Is his book being used by dominionists to help fuel the radicalism needed to pull off the next artificial move of God - and essentially lead the Church back to Rome? We'll have to see how the Metaxas spin will have an affect.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Ecumenical Movement

After reading one of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book, I admired him for his stand in support of the Gospel during Adolf Hitler’s reign in World War II. Bonhoeffer was a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism and a founding member of the Confessing Church. While the mainline churches were supporting the new Führer, he disagreed with the treatment of the Jewish people and the view of himself as “the new Messiah.” Later, his involvement in a plot by members of the German Military Intelligence Office to assassinate Hitler resulted in his arrest in April 1943 and his subsequent execution by hanging in April 1945, shortly before the war's end.

A recent PBS special on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Third Reich changed my opinion of him. The report said Bonhoeffer was a supporter of the Ecumenical Movement. There was so much division in the Church during this time, and he felt the Ecumenical Movement would help bring the body of Christ back together. I’m not certain if he fully realized when he joined this movement that it would later come to assist in creating a one-world religion.

Bonhoeffer combined a deep grounding in his own theological tradition with a very ecumenical understanding of the consequences of his belief and the role of the Christian church. He embodied the spirit of the ecumenical movement; and its leaders became some of his closest friends and allies in the fight against totalitarian ideology.

His ecumenical activities began with an internship at the German congregation in Barcelona, followed by his studies at Union Seminary in New York City. Upon his return to Europe he attended several major European ecumenical conferences in 1931 and 1932. In 1934, at the age of 28, Bonhoeffer became a member of the governing council of the ecumenical World Alliance for the Promotion of International Friendship, a forerunner of the apostate World Council of Churches.

Bonhoeffer has been idolized by many modern-day Christian teachers, because of his writings on the nature of true Christian fellowship and the cost of discipleship. But there is something else that should be known. He was a religious humanist who denied virtually every doctrine of the historic Christian faith. He denied the deity of Christ; he believed that Christ is not the only way to God; and he had no faith in the physical resurrection of Christ.

If you study his life, you may find at closer examination that he wasn’t the mainline Christian we were lead to believe he was. I encourage you to do research to determine whether your denomination aligns itself with the World Council of Churches. Will you follow them when they merge to become one-world religion?
