1. Pope Francis I will canonize Mother
Teresa on Sunday, September 4, following one of
the quickest paths to sainthood ever.
NEWS BRIEF: "Pope
to canonize Mother Teresa next Sunday",
The Recorder, August 28, 2016
"Mother Teresa
of Calcutta will be proclaimed a saint next Sunday
in an open-air Mass led by Pope Francis ... the
ethnic Albanian Teresa helped the poor in India
for most of her life. She founded the Missionaries
of Charity in 1950 and gained worldwide recognition
for her work, including a Nobel Peace Prize in
1979."
'“The canonization
of Mother Teresa invites us to look to her as
a Christian hero, an outstanding model of the
Christian life,” the Canadian priest who
promoted her sainthood cause, the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk,
said in March. Teresa was a revered figure throughout
the world ..."
Just as Mother
Teresa received accolades during her lifetime
of service, she will receive the full, and highest,
honor which the Roman Catholic Church can bestow,
that of Saint.
I remember the outpouring
of grief and loss which permeated much of the
world following Teresa's passing. Many people
immediately assumed that God would graciously
take her to Heaven, because of her lifelong work
among the poor -- feeding, clothing and helping
to lodge millions of the poor during her lifetime.
However, Fundamental
Christians are not so sure. On the first Sunday
after Mother Teresa had passed away, a seminar
student spoke to me about Teresa. His words were
ironic and have never left me. He said:
"It is sad,
but true, that Mother Teresa this morning is the
most righteous person in Hell"!
Is Mother
Teresa in Heaven -- or Hell?
At this point, we
would only ask that you do not respond emotionally
and reject what we are about to say; rather, do
as the Bereans did to the Apostle Paul: examine
the Scriptures to see if these things are true.
How does one qualify
for Heaven? How does one inherit eternal life?
These were the questions posed to Jesus Himself
by Nicodemus. Listen to Jesus' solemn reply: "Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
[John 3:3] Later, in verse 7, Jesus made it quite
clear that He was speaking of a spiritual conversion,
not a physical one. Titus 3:5-6, states the case
most succinctly. "Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according
to his mercy he saved us, by the washing
of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ
our Saviour." We are saved only through the
power of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ,
not by any good works which we might have done,
not even a lifetime of good works.
The sad fact is
that the Roman Catholic Church has not preached
the necessity of being "Born Again"
for over 1,000 years. Unfortunately, the Gospel
they preach and the "salvation" they
offer are very good counterfeits: they look and
sound very close to the real thing, but they are
not. Let us examine how the Roman Catholic Church
teaches that a person may be saved, from eternal
Hell, and saved to, eternal Heaven.
Biblical belief
is firmly tied into having loyalty to God, and
this loyalty is proven by obedience to God's commands
and to His teachings.
Consider these verses:
1) Jesus said, in Mark 1:15, "The time is
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the gospel." 2) Jesus
said, in John 6:29, "Jesus answered and said
unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe
on him whom he hath sent." 3) John 14:1,
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me."
"Believe the
Gospel", "believe on Him whom He hath
sent", and "believe also in Me",
all refer to believing both that Jesus was the
Son of God Who died for our sins, AND also believing
in the doctrines Jesus taught. Now, stay with
me here, because we are very close to a proper
understanding of the work and spiritual life of
Mother Teresa. Saving faith also means believing
in, and obeying, all the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Since this is so, what might be some of the things
which Jesus taught about Himself that anyone who
is saved MUST believe and teach and practice?
1) In John 14:6,
Jesus boldly stated, "Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Jesus was saying that He was the only door through
which a person may enter that can go to Heaven.
This brands every other religion in the world
a fraud and a fake, and spiritually worthless.
Indeed, false religions are spiritually deadly,
in that they lead its believers straight into
eternal Hell.
2) In Acts 4:12,
the Apostle Peter said, "Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved."
Do not be deceived:
there is no other way to Heaven except through
Jesus Christ. Saving faith also produces a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, through the Holy
Spirit.
Now that we have
reviewed the Biblical foundation upon which a
person's eternity is based, let us examine Mother
Teresa's writings. Sadly, you will see that her
definition of "being saved" falls far
short of the Biblical standard.
Listen to Mother
Teresa speaking about Conversion to her biographer,
Desmond Doig. "What we are all trying to
do by our work, by serving the people, is
to come closer to God. If in coming face
to face with God we accept Him in our lives,
then we are converting. We become a better
Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better
whatever we are, and then by being better we come
closer and closer to Him. If we accept Him fully
in our lives, then that is conversion. What
approach would I use? For me, naturally, it would
be a Catholic one, for you it may be Hindu, for
someone else, Buddhist, according to one's conscience.
What God is in your mind you must accept."
[Desmond Doig, "Mother Teresa: Her People
and Her Work", William Collins Sons &
Co., Ltd., Glascow, 1976, page 136, as quoted
by Constance Cumbey, in "A Planned Deception:
The Staging of a New Age Messiah", Pointe
Publishers, East Detroit, Michigan, ISBN 0-935897-00-3,
page 108] [Emphasis ours]
What nonsense is
this? "What God is in your mind you
must accept."?
Is this loyalty
to the teachings, to the Truth of Jesus Christ?
Of course, it is not!! When Jesus said that He
was the "Way, the Truth, and the Life"
[John 14:6], He meant that anyone who wanted to
inherit eternal life MUST believe in His life
and work and sacrifice on the Cross. Thus,
Mother Teresa is not helping these poor people
spiritually; in fact she is confirming them in
their false religion and damning them to Hell!!
Just in case you
need further explanation that Mother Teresa is
confirming people in their lost, false religions,
Mother Teresa continues explaining to Desmond
Doig. "There are many Hindu ladies who want
our way of life, the life of poverty, prayer,
sacrifice and service. They want the life of a
Missionary. But they wish to retain their faith,
their own belief in God ... We live that they
may die, so that they may go home according to
what is written in the book, be it written according
to Hindu, or Muslim, or Buddhist, or Catholic,
or Protestant, or any other belief ... We
give them whatever they ask, according to their
faith." [Ibid]
This is not Biblical
Christianity. This is not Saving Faith.
However, this IS+
Traditional Roman Catholicism. For over 1,000
years, Roman Catholic missionaries have incorporated
pagan beliefs and practices into Christianity,
in order to "give them what they want"
so they can be "converted" to Catholicism.
Thus, the entire Roman Catholic Church has become
corrupt. Roman Catholicism has never insisted
upon the pure Truth of the Gospel; they have never
held Jesus Christ up to the Pagan world, unchanged.
Mother Teresa is simply "converting"
according to Traditional Roman Catholicism.
But, if you look
closely at the last sentence of Mother Teresa's
first quotation, above, you suddenly will receive
a new revelation!! Let us review her quote again.
"What God is in your mind you must accept."
This, my friend, is standard New Age teaching!!!
New Age doctrine teaches that there is no absolute
Right or Wrong, that everyone can have a different
belief in God, and still be on the correct spiritual
path. This fact labels Mother Teresa as New Age!!
In fact, New Age
doctrine also holds that each man is "divine".
They teach that each person is inherently good,
and can achieve godhood if they simply can properly
"raise their consciousness level".
Guess what? Mother
Teresa believes this, as well. Listen to another
newspaper account of the life, work, and beliefs
of Mother Teresa. "She visited many of the
most desperate tenements and wretched alleys on
the planet. She looked into the eyes of the loneliest,
sickest, most forgotten men and women on earth,
and saw their humanity -- and the divinity
in their souls." [Mother Teresa
-- 1910-1997 -- India's inspirational 'living
saint' dies", Providence Journal Bulletin,
September 6, 1997, page A-7]
This is not Biblical
teaching; this is New Age teaching.
DVD
Perhaps this is
why Mother Teresa was consistently seen attending,
and speaking at, various New Age conferences in
the past 20 years of her life. "Perhaps at
least part of the apostate influences here [with
Mother Teresa] may be traced to the Temple of
Understanding's influence. Desmond Doig and Temple
of Understanding materials indicate that on October
24, 1975, Mother Teresa spoke at a Temple of Understanding
Conference. She has subsequently been a featured
speaker at other New Age Conferences. [Constance
Cumbey, "A Planned Deception", page
103].
Unfortunately, we
believe Mother Teresa was not Born Again, and
that her lifelong ministry did not produce eternal
benefits for those whom she so valiantly served.
Our hearts break as we consider the possibility
that Mother Teresa might not be in Heaven. We
shake and tremble when we think that Mother Teresa
might be one of those of whom Jesus Christ spoke,
who wake up on the Day of Judgment, realizing
suddenly that they are going to Hell, when they
were absolutely sure they were going to Heaven.
Listen carefully to Jesus' words:
"Not every
one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have
cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful
works? And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
(Matthew 7:21-22)
I can see Mother
Teresa protesting to the Lord Jesus Christ: "But,
Lord, Lord, I did many mighty works in your name.
Why, I gave my life and my energy to taking care
of the most pitiful and despised poor and rejected
of the Earth. I labored to establish the Missionaries
of Charity, with over 400 chapters, and 4,000
dedicated nuns. We healed the sick, and took care
of everyone who needed help. We taught these people
spiritually. Lord, Lord, I should be entering
Heaven!!"
Jesus Christ will
look with unfathomable sadness, as He says something
like this: "Yes, Mother Teresa, you did all
these commendable things. But, you were not true
to My Gospel, to My teachings, that I was the
only way to Heaven. You confirmed people's belief
in all their false gods, all of whom were inspired
by Satan. You could have turned many to the absolute
truth of the Gospel, and to Me. But, you did not.
Therefore, I never knew you, because you worked
iniquity through your false teachings."
We have examined
Mother Teresa through the only manner in which
Jesus Christ instructed us we might: by examining
her "fruits" which her life produced.
Jesus said, "Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth
evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them." [Matthew 7:17-20]
Certainly, confirming
pagans in their false belief does them no favor,
but actually does them great harm. Unfortunately,
Mother Teresa has done exactly this type of spiritual
harm. Instead of turning tens of thousands, or
millions, of people from their false pagan beliefs,
to the One True God, Jesus Christ, through Whom
they would have been saved, Mother Teresa has
simply made their false belief stronger, and has
helped these poor souls into Hell.
The final point
is that the life and death of Mother Teresa is
another example of the spiritual apostasy of the
church in these last days. We learn, in 2 Thessalonians
2, that the coming of Antichrist cannot occur
until the church abandons its position of Truth,
and moves far away from Biblical Truth. In Matthew
24, Jesus warned, three times, that the End of
the Age, the Kingdom of Antichrist, would be brought
in amidst unparalleled spiritual deception.

As Hillary Clinton continues attacking Trump,
she should watch her step.
She lives
in a very fragile glass house, and it is full
of CONVICTS!
NEWS BRIEF: "Hillary
Clinton's guilt-by-association ad lives in a glass
house filled with convicts",
Circa.com News, August 26, 2016
"In an election
where Americans are clamoring for more civility
and more substance, Hillary Clinton's new television
ad intimating that Donald Trump might be a racist
white supremacist because of the people who support
him or have interviewed him has hit a media chord.
In political parlance, it's known as a guilt-by-association
attack. It's one of the oldest in politics."
"Such ads can
be effective .... if the candidate lobbing them
doesn't own her own record of guilty associations."
What are Hillary's
"guilty associations"? consider the
Top Nine!
"... more than
a dozen of their associates when they were last
in the White House in the 1990s or from when she
ran for president in 2008 have landed in prison.
"
1) "Webster
Hubbell was one of Hillary Clinton's Arkansas
law partners and closest family friends ... Hubbell
was forced to plead guilty to stealing at least
$394,000 from his Arkansas law partners and more
than a dozen clients, including the U.S. government.
He went to prison. Hubbell was charged with new
crimes a few years later related to the Whitewater
investigation and pleaded guilty to two more charges
in 1999..."
2) "Hassan
Nemazee was a prominent Iranian-American businessman
... He served as a Hillary Clinton's national
finance director during her 2008 presidential
bid ... But in 2010, he pleaded guilty to stealing
hundreds of millions of dollars to buy property
in New York, and to donate to charities and political
campaigns like Mrs. Clinton's. He was sentenced
to 12 years in prison, where he remains today."
3) "Johnny
Chung was a businessman who admitted in the late
1990s that he funneled illegal donations to the
Democratic Party and Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election
campaign."
4) "Norman
Hsu was one of Hillary Clinton's top fund-raising
bundlers during her 2008 campaign and a Clinton
Foundation donor until it was revealed he was
a fugitive in an old California fraud case ...
He was eventually prosecuted and sentenced to
federal prison for what federal authorities said
was a Ponzi scheme that bilked everyday Americans
of millions of dollars."
"Mrs. Clinton's
campaign was forced to refund or donate to charity
$850,000 he had raised for her campaign."
5) "Sandy
Berger was a close foreign policy adviser to Bill
and Hillary Clinton and eventual White House National
Security Adviser. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to
trying to sneak classified records out of the
National Archives in his socks in connection with
the post-Sept. 11 terrorism investigations. He
hid them at a construction site in Washington
D.C."
6) "Jeffrey
Epstein, billionaire businessman, is a registered
sex offender who became ensnared in a Florida
sex trafficking ring investigation involving minors.
He served 13 months in prison after pleading guilty
to soliciting an underage girl for prostitution
... Epstein helped conceive the idea for the Clinton
family foundation and flew Bill Clinton aboard
his plane numerous times. "
7) "James
McDougal was Bill and Hillary Clinton's business
partner in the Whitewater real estate venture
that spawned one of the largest presidential scandals
in history. He also operated a savings and loan
that failed at a cost of $68 million to taxpayers.
He was ultimately convicted on 18 counts of fraud
and sent to prison, where he eventually died."
"During his
cooperation with federal prosecutors, he reportedly
admitted arranging a meeting with then Gov. Bill
Clinton to discuss a fraudulent loan that had
an indirect benefit to the Whitewater real estate
venture co-owned by the Clintons."
8) "Charlie
Trie, an Arkansas restauranteur who followed the
Clintons to Washington, he raised significant
sums of money for the Democratic Party to help
Clinton get re-elected in 1996. Trie pled guilty
to violating federal election laws and outlined
to prosecutors how he and others funneled foreign
money into the election to benefit the Clintons.
A Senate investigative report concluded that Trie
had a "close relationships with the Chinese
government and/or intelligence agencies."
9) "Marc
Rich, an international financier, Rich became
one of the world's most famous fugitives after
he was charged in a 1980s federal fraud case that
carried 300 years in prison. Bill Clinton, in
one of his final acts as president in 2001, pardoned
Rich. The presidential act created enormous controversy,
in part because Rich's ex-wife donated large sums
of money to many of the Clinton's biggest political
efforts, including his presidential library and
her Senate campaign. "
If and when Donald
Trump begins attacking Hillary's glass house filled
with convicts, Americans will have all the information
they need to realize she is not fit to be President
of the United States.
At any rate, I certainly
hope so.

DVD
- Original Sanhedrin Revealed
4.
The new Sanhedrin appoints a new High Priest!
The Temple
does NOT have to be in place for services to start!
Can the
first sacrifice be performed on Yom Kippur (Oct
10-12)?
NEWS BRIEF: "High
Priest is Chosen by Sanhedrin: Temple Service
Could Be One Week Away", Breaking
Israel News, August 29, 2016
"A significant
step was recently taken towards reinstating the
Temple service when the nascent Sanhedrin selected
Rabbi Baruch Kahane as the next Kohen Gadol (high
priest). The selection was made as a precaution
for Yom Kippur. If the political conditions should
change, allowing the Jews access to the Temple
Mount, they will be required by Torah law to bring
the sacrifices. Rabbi Kahane is confident that
if that should happen, Temple service could begin
in less than one week."
For the first time
in 1,946 years, Israel has a High Priest.
And, he says he
is ready to begin Temple sacrifices -- even if
the Third Temple is not built yet!
"We do not
need a miraculous occurrence like the sudden appearance
of a Temple descending from heaven onto the Temple
Mount to make this decision relevant,” explained
Rabbi Weiss. “The only obstacle preventing
the Temple service today is the political issue."
What is this "political
issue"? Right now, Muslims control the Dome
of the Rock on the Temple Mount and they are exerting
political pressure to prevent the Israeli Government
from taking action to remove the Islamic temple
and allow Jews to worship on the Mount and starting
temple sacrifices and even beginning construction
of the Third Temple.
Israel would have
to carry out a massive war against the Palestinians,
Jordanians, and possibly Egypt to be able to reassert
Jewish control over the Temple Mount. If Israel
were to fulfill the annihilation prophecy found
in Obadiah, that would certainly qualify for removing
the Islamic irritant from the Temple Mount.
This annihilation
of the Palestinians -- as detailed in the DVD,
above, "Israel's
Prophesied Triumph Over The Palestinians"
-- has never seemed so close and so real.
