TRIUMPHANT BUT TRAGIC TROJAN

Back in the 70's if you asked the average Christian what "New Age" meant, you'd probably get a blank stare. Yet it was in the early 80's that I was given a copy of Dave Hunt's book "The Seduction of Christianity" and learned all about these practices that I felt must be occurring on Mars, or any other place but Earth, because I didn't see any of it happening. . . until a couple years after!

ATTN READERS: UPDATE - Located at the bottom of this article -

A few years later there were teachings, seminars, more books, tapes and videos exposing the New Age movement for what it is: the 'Old Lie' as first proposed by Satan aka the serpent, himself, when he said to Eve "You shall be as gods, knowing good and evil".

What started in the garden of Eden was later expanded upon at The Tower of Babel or "gateway to God" in which man esteemed to elevate himself to godhood with esoteric and mystical knowledge that we know today as the occult, and gnosticism. Babel, under the leadership of Nimrod was a one world order based upon a global (the then known world) government and religion.



The more fundamental, conservative Bible-based churches were aware of what the New Age represented, and rejected both it and all its occult practices. Other more liberal churches that took an allegorical, non-literal view of scripture, that questioned the deity and virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that doubted the miraculous as recorded in scripture, these were easy prey for the seductive influences of the New Age movement.

Yet Satan is determined to have his new world order reborn; to have a global government and religion re-established in an overt sense. One contending force that has been an impediment to this strategy has been the evangelical, biblical churches; this is so because a new world order can only find cohesion when a one world religion is born and ratified by governments the globe over.

I refer to H.G. Wells, whom most of us know as a writer of fiction (The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, etc) but he was also a fabian Socialist who has written many non-fiction books speaking on the subject of the New World Order.

The Progressive Wellsian State

Here is what he had to say about a world religion in his book, - The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution, 1928: “The political world of the Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface, incorporate and supersede existing governments….The Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and communist enthusiasms; it may be in control of Moscow before it is in control of New York…. The character of the Open Conspiracy will now be plainly displayed…. It will be a world religion (emph. mine). This large loose assimilatory mass of groups and societies will be definitely and obviously attempting to swallow up the entire population of the world and become the new human community….”

Alice Baily, a channeler and a founding leader of the Theosophical Society about the same time as Mr. Wells wrote his books, has written much herself, via her organization's own publishing house: Lucifer Publishing Company, now a.k.a. Lucius Trust: " . . . the teachings of the east and west must be fused and blended before the true and universal religion - for which the world awaits - could appear on earth."

Satan is having another go at it, and attempting to persuade by deception the evangelical churches and draw them into a one world religious body. We know this latest movement as the Emergent Church Movement.

This movement I believe is the latest manifestation of a paradigm shift that will ultimately lead to a one world religion, as spoken of in Revelation chs. 17 and 18. I have just recently finished reading a book entitled Trojan Church:, by Dr. Gregory R. Reid and may I say that I wholeheartedly endorse his work as it pulls no punches, it doesn't molly coddle the reader, it says it like it is.

Dr. Reid quotes proponents of this movement; these are so-called pastors and 'Christian' leaders (I call the likes of these, 'anti-Christians' simply because they deny the fundamental basis of practically all biblical doctrine) that tell us we can't take the Bible literally; they tell us what Jesus really was like, and what He really meant when He said such and such; they tell us that there is no Second Coming of Christ, that there is no coming Kingdom; that any references to prophecy in scripture are to be dismissed as nothing but allegory (allegory however is a representation of something literal, not 'make believe' but they tell you that their explanations of scriptural allegory is the truth!)

These are people like Rob Bell (read some quotes by him further down), Doug Pagett, Brian McLaren (See these videos: Brian McLaren's Attack Against Hell and Jesus Atonement (2:36), Brian McClaren on The Message of Jesus (3:25)); Marcus Borg, Rick Warren (not a direct advocate of Emergent Church Movement beliefs, but much of what he teaches and promotes falls directly in line with ECM, thus essentially no different).

Rick Warren is a member of the CFR I might add (Counsel on Foreign Relations); a globalist organization that is working towards a one world government and the eradication of individually sovereign national states: a world without borders! What's so alarming is that there is no alarm among evangelical churches!

Whereas before there were many that spoke out against the New Age movement, now there are more and more churches that are not exposing, but endorsing these leaders and their vision for the future church! What's so alarming is that our youth are being swept up and enamored by the ECM.

These young people see the church today as irrelevant, boring, outdated, taking a stand on a book that's not meant to be taken so strictly, and they are leaving such churches in favor of these others that promote mystical experiences, meditation (of the eastern and occultic sort), rituals, and focus their attention on political and social causes rather than the Singular Cause we know as the Great Commission: the gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ!

May I say that several hours a day, five days a week in public school systems have conditioned these young minds into believing that there IS no absolute truth, that evolution is true, the Bible is not; and so such a movement as the Emergent Church holds a great appeal to them.

Rob Bell is certainly one of the major forces in the ECM and especially influential among our youth! His is one of the fastest growing churches here in America.

Here is his web site: NOOMA.com

And here is a youtube presentation about Rob Bell's beliefs: YouTube - Rob Bell Nooma Exposed

Here are some statements he's made: "In Yoga, one of the central tenets of Yoga, is your breathing needs to remain the same, regardless of the pose... the Yoga masters say, 'This is how it is when you follow Jesus and surrender to God...'

That's integrating the divine into the daily."

"The Christian faith is filled with change and growth and transformation. Jesus took part in the process (took part in the process of what?? Christianity?

NO! Jesus is the focus OF Christianity, the very heart, spirit, inspiration and life of the Christian faith, He didn't 'take part' or make a 'contribution'!) by calling people to re-think faith and the Bible and hope and life and everything else."

"Jesus at one point claimed to be the way and the life. Jesus was not making claims about one religion being better than other religions."

Dr Reid writes: "Bell implies that by Christians saying that Christianity is the only way to God, they are missing it. I agree. Jesus is the only way to God, not Christianity. I have serious doubts that Bell would agree. Someone needs to ask him if he does."

Bell continues: "Rather He was telling those who were following Him that his way is the way to the depth of reality. This kind of life he was living in connection and cooperation with God (So, is Jesus NOT God?) is the best possible way to live. It is the way things are."

For Rob Bell, he sees truth as flexible as springs in a trampoline. He writes in Velvet Elvis: "Once again, the springs aren't God. They have emerged over time as people have discussed and studied and experienced and reflected on their growing understanding of who God is." and later he says:

"Our words aren't absolutes. Only God is absolute, and God has no intention of sharing this absoluteness with anything, especially words that people have come with to talk about Him. (emph. mine)"

Rob Bell, a devotee of Marcus Borg has abandoned faith in God's Word as absolute truth and authority. . . is not the result of Divine fiat but a human product.

"God is bigger than Christianity."

"The problem with 'brickianity' (his word for Christianity that takes Gods Word as absolute authority and with a literal view) is that walls invariably keep people out."

"Let's make a group decision to drop once and for all the Bible-as-owner's-manual metaphor. It's terrible. It really is." "This is part of the problem with continually insisting that one of the absolutes of the Christian faith must be a belief that 'scripture alone' is our guide. It sounds nice, but it isn't true. . . When people say that all we need is the Bible, it is simply not true."

Here is the latest about Rob Bell and his new book (2011) entitled LOVE WINS -
LOVE WINS Interview

Also consider reading this article from The RED PILL Consortium, an expose of Rob Bell and his erroneous book entitled LOVE LOST.

Dr. Reid goes into all of this, and more in his concise treatment (198 pgs.) in this book. I highly recommend that you order this book and read it, and pass it on! I myself intend on buying some copies and give them away to family, friends, saints and pastoral staff.

Additionally we as the body of Christ truly, sincerely, and incessantly need to pray for the church that our Savior founded, with all humility, passion, and earnestness and for our nation as well.
