Giants: Hiding in Plain Sight
Just doing some review. This is a good video to start with if it doesn't make any sense to you about the Nephilim and what Aliens and UFOs have to do with the end times.

The 'Son of God, Catholics, Protestants, and the New Age
With the new movie that was just released, 'The Son of God,' I have noticed a few things that make me concerned. Now I have not seen the movie itself, and would like to. It's not that I don't think we shouldn't have a movie depicting the life of Messiah... and I know Roma Downey and Mark Burnett's vision and desire to create this epic. I say praise God for their desire to get this move, as far as it's a re-creation of the Biblical true-story account of Yeshua.
The time of the New Age is on us, and truly, it is not a NEW AGE, but an old one, that existed before the days of the Global flood, through which only Noah and Seven others were saved (2 Peter 2:5), to which Hitler pursued to bring back, as did Nimrod/Gilgamesh when he built the Tower of Babel (Gen. 10:8-12, 11:1-9).
When I was serving in missions in Africa, the missionaries I was visiting had a time when the showed 'The Jesus Film' to the people group they were working with. Of course the missionaries had been there for over a year, and others before them, teaching them the word of God and stories of the bible, using the method of Biblical 'storytelling,' where the stories are memorized and taught to the pre-literate tribes. But on this occasion, The Jesus Film was shown to the people, and after the people saw it, many decided to ask Yeshua into their heart and began a new life in Yeshua (2 Cor. 5:17; Jn. 3:3).
One danger that I see with the movie, not having seen it, is that they are usually made through Gentile eyes, with less emphasis and detail on the Jewish Feasts that are so integral to Jewish Life (framed by the Creator Himself) and the coming of Messiah. We Gentiles miss the significance and much of the miraculous aspects of the feasts, an their fulfillment.
Another thing that concerns me concerning the film, is the ecumenical support that was given to it. At my work their is a TV in the corner, and I saw a commercial about the upcoming movie, and it featured many Catholic Fathers and some Protestant Celebrities such as Joel Osteen, Rick Warren... and I can't recall now if who else it featured. But this alone was alarming. The Catholic Church pronounced Anathemas against all wjho believed that we are saved by grace through faith, apart from any meritorious works of our own (Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). The Catholic church' s position is that that teaching, of salvation by grace through faith, apart from self-works of righteousness, is Anathema! The Mormons teach a very similar belief, and that is what sets Biblical Christianity apart from all other religions, the Bible teaches that one is saved by faith in the crucified and resurrected Jewish Messiah when one turns from their sin and to Yeshua in faith for salvation and everlasting life (Rom. 10:9-10).
How then can Protestant Pastors and Catholics come together on this? And these particular Pastors mentioned are false teachers... and they should be recognized as that. Joel Osteen is much like the Pope... "who am I to judge someone's sin?" Well, you're a pastor aren't you? At the very least, you should guide the people into finding out what the Bible teaches about sinful lifestyles and behaviors (lust, fornication, adultery, murder, homosexuality, magic, witch craft, Gal. 5:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:9-10), and leading them to repent and place their faith in Messiah Yeshua.
Rick Warren uses business growth models to grow his churches... and many undiscerning pastors who translate big numbers as "success" and blessing from God have adopted his methodologies... resulting in the leading astray of many in the church, the focus of the Church on Man-centered methodologies, instead of believeing that by simply focusing on relationship with God, and serving one another, living a Spirit-filled life, that God adds to the numbers (Acts 2:46-47).
Examining these crucial differences in belief on salvation, it is apparent that Catholics and true Protestant Pastors CAN NOT come together in a theological work/teaching for the populace. And this is part of what makes me nervous. The Pope has reached out to Pentecostals, and to Kenneth Copeland to "come togther." Never mind any renouncing of anathemas! This concerns me because their is a push for merging the world religions, of bringing unity... that is, with all but one group, the Protestant Evangelicals, or as they might otherwise be called, Truth Activists, or the Anti-Hypocrisists, or the Anti-Sin party, if the liberal media were to introduce a new term to demonize us, or "spin" the truth... but actually, it will probably be something like the Anti-humanists, or the Anti-Peace or Anti-Unity or Anti-Globalists.
Christians are taught in God's word to love those who hate them, and to pray for those who persecute them (Mt. 5:44). But all those who are of the god of this world (2 Cor.4:4) will seek to demonize, to accuse those whom they hate. This is very much the tactic of the Satan, as Yeshua explains:
John 8:44

John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from thebeginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Ultimately, we will see how this movie portrays the Son of God, as revealed in the Bible, God's inspired, revealed truth (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Will it be the same, to the praise and glory of God, a sweet offering offered up, or will it be a tool used in the hands of the evil one (1 Jn. 5:19), to accomplish his ends? Let us not be naiive!
And so, with the closing words of John, from his first epistle:
18 We know that no one who is [o]born of God sins; but He who was [p]born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and weare in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

Does God Hate the Pope???
In one of my recent posts, we looked at the question of how God can love the world, but hate the wicked. This brings us next to the highly controversial Pope of the Vatican, who is stirring up a lot of controvresy, by pronouncing some very unbiblical, unorthodox things.
Lord Yeshua taught concerning the day of Judgment, when all mankind, Barrack Obama and Vladimir Putin included, will stand before El Elyon and give account of their transgression. And Yeshua taught,
When the Pope, as leader of the largest church that claims the name of Yeshua, actively and unrepenting-ly teaches that unbelivers can go to heaven, that all religions are good, and that homosexuals can serve as Yhwh's spokesmen/prophets??? I dare say that the Pope will make it into the prescence of Yhwh. It sounds more as if he is setting himself up for the kingdom of the Usurper, the fallen archangel known as the Satan (adversary/accuser) who will teach a humanistic doctrine that we are all gods (Gen. 3:5), to "do as you want will be the whole of the law."
Truly, Pope Francis seems to be filling out the expectation of many, both Catholics and Portestants, that the last Pope would be the false Prophet (or some said, Antichrist himself).
Matthew 7:21
John 14:24
One such pronouncement was last year in May of 2013, when the Pope came out and said that Atheists can go to heaven to, if they "do good". So let's think about this for just a moment. Isn't an Atheist by definition one who does not believe in God... and therefore does not believe in heaven? Or is the Pope merely leading them to open up to the hypocrisy of the hidden truths within? Or is it something more sinister?
Heaven, by definition, is the dwelling of God. Therefore I can't understand why the Atheist even desires to go to heaven. But I digress, even so, how did the Pope make such an anti-Christ-ian comment? Is he of the anti-Christ??? Things that make you go hmmmm?
One of the major UNBIBLICAL doctrines that the Pope claims, is that of Papal infallibility, meaning that he can overwrite the teachings of Scripture, and even contradict it, because as the vicar of Christ, he is essentially, the person of Christ on earth! What did Yeshua say about His Words, the Bible?
and again, this is uniform with the teaching in the Tanakh.
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.
Uh-oh! Someone should show that verse to the Pope!!! But he's probably already got a defense for it. In fact, he (the office of Pope) has deceived millions of people down through the centuries. In fact, one young Catholic monk came to understand that apart from the teachings of the church, the Grace of God when the Holy Spirit enlightened him to Romans 1:17:
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed [a]from faith to faith; as it is written, “[b]But the righteous man shall live by faith.”
This young Catholic Augustinian monk was born again! Jesus said one cannot enter the kingdom of heaven unless he is born again (Jn. 3:3). When the Spirit enlightened Luther's eyes to the meaning of Romans 1:17, he said, "It were as if the gates of heaven were opened to me."
So this young Catholic Monk, who found the treasures of heaven by renouncing immorality and self-effort, and being born again into a child of God, would disagree with the current Pope. Yes... the protest continues! And what did the words of our Lord say concerning those who may enter heaven?
Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Now the Pope is saying "Lord, Lord," and he is also saying "Mary, Mary," which is another unbiblical teaching for another time. Soon he will be saying "E.T., E.T.!" when the alien disclosure occurs... as numerous Catholic clergy have made statements that supposed aliens, which they already know exist, as morally superior to us, and we should listen to them
Lord Yeshua taught concerning the day of Judgment, when all mankind, Barrack Obama and Vladimir Putin included, will stand before El Elyon and give account of their transgression. And Yeshua taught,
Matthew 7:21-23
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

John 14:24
He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
Revelation 13:11
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon.
