CULT ALERT-AJ Miller from Australia

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Mark 13:22

"Alan John Miller (also known as AJ Miller or just plain AJ) is a controversial spiritual teacher based in Wilkesdale, near Kingaroy in Queensland, Australia. Kingaroy is approximately 2 hours from Brisbane and is sometimes referred to as the Bible Belt. AJ Miller holds "Divine Truth" seminars where he teaches what he calls the "Divine Love Path" which focuses on "Emotional Clearing."

He states that this path is emotion rather than mind based and will form a direct loving relationship with God. His teachings follow the law of attraction and much of his writings have been taken from Padgett and other places. He claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and that he recalls his life in the first century.

Before Miller realised he was Jesus, he was a property developer who was married with two children. He was also a senior member of a Jehovah's Witness sect but was pushed out when he left his wife for a woman named Karen who was about 10 years his junior.

Miller has admitted his mother had him examined by a psychologist but he says that he was found to be sane. It is reported that his mother was so disturbed by his claims to be Jesus that she contacted authorities and requested he be committed to a mental health facility.

Miller owns and operates the company Divine Truth as well as another organisation by the name of "God's Way Of Love." Although "God's Way Of Love" is not officially a not-for-profit organisation, according to their own website there are a number of followers who want to donate land.

Mary Suzanne Luck is the current partner of Alan John Miller. When Mary Luck met AJ Miller back in 2007, she said that it was both the scariest and the most exciting time in her life. Eventually, AJ Miller revealed to her that she was not Mary Luck but infact Mary Magdalene.

Mary Luck now joins AJ Miller in promoting Divine Truth and provides her own talks and presentations. Like Miller, she has written several letters and documents and signs them as Mary Magdalene. In them she refers to Miller as Yeshua (Jesus).

Worth noting is that Mary Luck is not the first person who AJ Miller has named Mary Magdalene. Karen, the woman he left his wife and children for was also promoted as being Mary Magdalene. Sources claim that during his travels, Miller has discovered up to 10 women who are not themselves but are in fact, Mary Magdalene.

AJ Miller claims that movement of tectonic plates will cause catastrophic "Earth changes" and will result in a dramatic rise of the oceans. Both the East and West coasts of Australia will be under water about 100 metres deep.

He states that major cities such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast will no longer exist.

The Wilkesdale/Kingaroy area where his compound is located, will undergo a majestic change from rural to sub-tropical.

Miller claims the "Earth changes" may start as early as 2012.

Real Estate agencies have reported a boom in property sales due to Miller's followers selling their homes and relocating to the Wilkesdale/Kingaroy area. Miller, when asked why his followers were moving to Kingaroy, had no idea.
Police are said to have been called to investigate screams in the area, only to discover members taking part in a healing exercise where they shout to help process "past soul damage" and ill feelings.
Some residents complain they are being driven out of the quiet hamlet by the group, which resembles Debra Geileskey's Magnificat Meal Movement that drew scores of followers to Helidon near Toowoomba.

Queensland has a tradition of fostering fringe religious movements. Fugitive killer Luke Andrew Hunter was recaptured in February after 15 years on the run in which he hid out with the separate Jesus Group in the state's far north.

IN the NEWS - Presbyterians & gay marriage

"The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) narrowly defeated a resolution to redefine marriage from a union between a man and a woman to a union between "two people."

The body deliberated the issue for more than three hours on Friday. The final vote was 338-308.

Gay marriage supporters in the denomination will have to wait two years until the church's next national convention to bring the matter up again.

A year ago, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) began allowing openly gay clergy to serve as pastors."  CBN News

Who cares what the 308 Presbyterian delegates who voted for gay marriage think? What does GOD say?

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Mark 10:6-10

Creation Moment 7/12/2012 - Silly Sagan

The silly evolutionary scientist of cosmology, Carl Sagan, actually wrote a book called the Dragons of Eden. In it he purposed that the global stories of dragons were memories retained of what our ancestors had seen in the past! LOL-Silly Sagan.....That is like saying that those of European descent have "memories" of ancsetors inherited and passed down of being in the court of Eleanor of Aquitaine! LOL....Silly Sagan....

Lessons of Friday of Creation Week / Redemption Week

On the 6th day of the week, 

Friday, God created man in His image.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:7

On the 6th day of the week, Friday, 

He died while in that image.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

John 19:30

The "breath of life" is the "ghost" that He gave up.....

Creation Moment 7/11/2012 - Evolution and German colonial Africa

Recently the skulls of the Herero & Nama tribal people have been returned to Namibia (German South West Africa in colonial times) from Germany. The skulls were the result of evolutionary thinking among the German elite in the government. There was a holocaust under Kaiser Wilhem II (Kaiser during World War 1). Between 1904 & 1908 about 80% of the Herero were sent to concentration camps (and starved to death) or outright butchered by General Lothar Von Trotha.

The fighting erupted primarily over land rights, the raping of women by German soldiers and rumors of possible concentration camps to be set up. The African leader gave orders not to kill Englishmen, Boers (people of Dutch descent from South Africa) or missionaries. General Von Trotha arrived from Germany in June at the head of 14,000 troops to quash the tribes. A few Africans escaped to British territories and were granted asylum. Many women and children were forced into the desert on purpose so as to die of thirst. For the ones in concentration camps they actually pre-printed death certificates for being worked to death. The worst camp was on Shark Island, where even babies were whipped and the dead were sent out to sea for the sharks to consume.

The German evolutionary/eugenics scientist Eugen Fischer was sent in to do live experiments on the prisoners by testing with injections of smallpox, TB and typhus. He called the mulatto children to be those of a lesser racial quality. He would later serve the Nazi Party of Hitler. His EVOLUTIONARY thinking and research led him to become a strong advocate for the extermination of "inferior" races.

The skulls were sent to Germany to study the "less evolved" races.... German settlers referred to these people there as "baboons", based on evolutionary thinking of the day.

The German govenor wanted only the large tribal military forces defeated on the battlefield then negotiate a peace treaty. But General Von Trotha had given orders to kill any Herero within the borders of the German colony and forced widows to shave the skin off the skulls. This became the first genocide of the 20th century.
The skulls were discovered by a reporter in a medical history museum. This use of the skulls for evolutionary research was used as the basis for the holocaust by Hitler in later years.

General Von Trotha wrote "I destroy the African tribes with streams of blood... Only following this cleansing can something new emerge, which will remain."

    Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Ecclesiastes 8:11

...for it is written,

Vengeance is mine;

I will repay, saith the Lord.

Truth about Scientology

What Scientology seems to be, is a mix of an atheistic and new age approach to saving the earth....which includes a type of reincarnation (in other words, the recycled lie of the immortality of the soul, first told by the serpent to Eve) as well as a pantheistic view that this godlike force, whatever it is, is in nature itself...

"The basic belief of Scientology is that experience, in this or in previous lives, is recorded in the brain as a series of "engrams." These engrams are revived and reinforced by recurring similar situations and always cause inappropriate and self-defeating behavior. One's goal of Scientology is to "process" or clear these engrams and become more self-determining. By erasing these accretions from one's present and past lives, one releases the essential, spiritual self or soul called the "thetan."

The nature of the Supreme Being is revealed personally through each individual as s/he becomes more conscious and spiritually aware. There exists a life energy or force (Theta) beyond and within all.

There are no particular human incarnations of God, as the universal life force (Theta) is inherent in all. All humans are immortal spiritual beings (thetans) capable of realizing a nearly godlike state through Scientology practices.
All is manifestation of the universal spirit, which is all that actually exists. Rebirths continue until one consciously confronts all pre-birth, current-life, and previous-life traumas. Thus realizing one's true nature as a "thetan," an immortal spirit--transcending matter, energy, space, and time. Achieving this state enables the spirit to escape the cycle of birth and death to operate independently of the physical universe and become one with God.

Painful experiences and harmful acts in one's prebirth, current, and past lives become imprinted in the reactive mind and lead to irrational behavior. Departures from rational thought and untrue ideas ("aberrations") can result in wrongdoing

An Operating Thetan is a spirit who can control matter, energy, space, time, thought, and life. Practitioners ("Auditors") are regarded as ministers and counselors who assist others to achieve self-enlightenment. Auditors help others to identify their prebirth, current, and past-life disturbances, which are obstacles to happiness and spiritual enlightenment." Beliefnet
"Scientology teaches that people are immortal spiritual beings who have forgotten their true nature. The story of Xenu is part of Scientologist teachings about extraterrestrial civilizations and alien interventions in Earthly events, collectively described as space opera by Hubbard. (Hubbard, the founder, had made a career as a sci-fi author...hmmm.... so thats how he came up with the alien aspect for his church?).  Its method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counseling known as "auditing", in which practitioners aim to re-experience consciously painful or traumatic events in their past, in order to free themselves of their limiting effects."

"Teaching the scriptures, praying in families-this is the work of the evangelist, and this work is to be mingled with preaching. If it is omitted, preaching will, to a great extent, be a failure.

Work as seeing Him who is at your right hand, ready to give you His efficiency and omnipotent power in every emergency."

Problem is such a blast, by their own calculations, should have vaporized any water....

Wedding Garment Parable -In Depth Study

1) The parable of the wedding garment opens before us a lesson of the highest consequence.
2) By the marriage is represented the union of humanity with divinity;
3) the wedding garment represents the character which all must possess who shall be accounted fit guests for the wedding. Christ's Object Lessons p. 307 E.G.W.

FIRST Call (from Father God?) before crucifixion of Christ

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Matthew 22:2,3
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: Luke 14:16

SECOND Call (from Christ the Son?) to Israel after crucifixion

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

But they made light of it,

and went their ways,

one to his farm,

another to his merchandise:

Matthew 22:4,5

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse.

The first said unto him,

I have bought a piece of ground,

and I must needs go and see it:

I pray thee have me excused.

And another said,
I have bought five yoke of oxen,
and I go to prove them:
I pray thee have me excused.

And another said,

I have married a wife,

and therefore I cannot come.

Luke 14:17-20

Crucifixion, martyrdom of disciples & destruction of Jerusalem by Romans in 70AD

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Matthew 22:6,7

THIRD Call (Holy Spirit at work?) to the Gentiles

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Matthew 22:8-10
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:23

The Investigative Judgment

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Matthew 22:11,12
By the wedding garment in the parable is represented the pure, spotless character which Christ's true followers will possess. Christ's Object Lessons p.310 E.G.W.

The End

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:13,14

P.S. :More on the Wedding Garment

"The white robe of innocence was worn by our first parents when they were placed by God in holy Eden. They lived in perfect conformity to the will of God. All the strength of their affections was given to their heavenly Father. A beautiful soft light, the light of God, enshrouded the holy pair. But when sin entered, they severed their connection with God, and the light that had encircled them departed. Naked and ashamed, they tried to supply the place of the heavenly garments by sewing together fig leaves for a covering. This is what the transgressors of God's law have done ever since the day of Adam and Eve's disobedience. They have sewed together fig leaves to cover the nakedness caused by transgression. They have worn the garments of their own devising, by works of their own they have tried to cover their sins, and make themselves acceptable with God. No fig-leaf garment, no worldly citizen dress, can be worn by those who sit down with Christ and angels at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Only the covering which Christ Himself has provided can make us meet to appear in God's presence. This covering, the robe of His own righteousness, Christ will put upon every repenting, believing soul. This robe, woven in the loom of heaven, has in it not one thread of human devising. Christ in His humanity wrought out a perfect character, and this character He offers to impart to us. All our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6 By His perfect obedience He has made it possible for every human being to obey God's commandments. When we submit ourselves to Christ, the heart is united with His heart, the will is merged in His will, the mind becomes one with His mind, the thoughts are brought into captivity to Him; we live His life. This is what it means to be clothed with the garment of His righteousness. Then as the Lord looks upon us He sees, not the fig-leaf garment, not the nakedness and deformity of sin, but His own robe of righteousness, which is perfect obedience to the law of Jehovah."  Christ's Object Lessons p.311,312 E.G.W.

Creation Moment 7/7/2012 - Higgs boson ("God Particle")

Higgs boson is called the "God particle". It is a particle predicted by Peter Higgs. It was predicted to be part of the "standard model"  of how mass exists as it relates to quarks, leptons and gauge bosons. It is thought that the interaction of the electromagnetic field and the weak field is how matter took on mass. What it boils down to is that evolutionary scientists are trying to figure out how mass came about after the so-called big bang.

Physicists have been hoping for an overarching theory of nature that can unify the four basic forces known in the universe: the weak force responsible for radioactivity; the electromagnetic force; the strong force responsible for the existence of protons and neutrons, the core of the atom; and gravitation.

Many evolutionists hate the Higgs boson being called the "God particle". The term originated in 1993 by Leon Ledderman in his book The God Particle: If the Universe is the Answer, What is the Question?.

Since his fall he has turned his mighty strength against the government of heaven. Satan has originated fables with which to deceive. He commenced in heaven to war against the foundation of  God's government, and since his fall has carried on his rebellion against the Law of God, and has brought the mass of professed Christians to trample under their feet the fourth commandment, which brings to view the living God.

IN the NEWS - NYC school system's BIGOTRY against Christians

"NEW YORK — A federal judge ruled Friday that churches and other faith groups can continue to meet in New York City public school buildings for worship services.
Judge Loretta Preska of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the churches a permanent injunction against the New York City Department of Education, determining that the city's policy of prohibiting worship violates the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The city, the court said, is permanently forbidden from denying churches' applications to rent space in public schools for meetings that include religious worship. The city is expected to appeal.
In April, several national religious organizations joined together in a friend-of-the-court brief that urged the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals to invalidate the education department's policy. The brief, written by the Christian Legal Society, also called on the court to permanently block the policy from being enforced.
New York City's school policy infringes on the opening two clauses of the First Amendment, the brief signed by the ERLC said. Those clauses say, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The policy "is not one that feigns neutrality on its face, hiding an ulterior purpose to target religious exercise," the friend-of-the-court brief said. "The Board's policy openly and notoriously singles out 'religious worship services' for exclusion from the public space that is otherwise available for other social and civic functions."
However, New York City officials will likely appeal the case to the Second Circuit." ChristianExaminer.com

"Evolution is not being removed from South Korea’s school curriculum or from its textbooks. References to just two “evidences” for evolution are being removed: a) whale evolution and b) horse evolution.
Whale evolution ....... because of its iconic status and lack of logic and common sense.
The linear model of horse evolution is what is being removed from the South Korean curriculum. This traditional evolutionary model, showing a small “eohippus” at one end, and a modern horse at the other, was described by the evolutionary paleontologist Niles Eldridge as “lamentable” and “a classical case of paleontologic museology.” Serious evolutionists have admitted for years that the traditional linear model for horse evolution is wrong, so all the South Korean authorities are doing is removing known errors."

Creation Moment 7/3/2012 - Titan Tropical Lakes?

"In Nature this week (486, 14 June 2012, pp. 237–239, doi:10.1038/nature11165) Griffith et al., announced the “Possible tropical lakes on Titan from observations of dark terrain” (italics added). “Possible” is the operative word; the discovery depends on interpretation of spectral signatures obtained by the Cassini orbiter flying by the giant moon of Saturn. Most lakes have been found in polar regions. This would be the first semi-permanent body of liquid methane found in “tropical” (e.g., equatorial, not “warm,” since Titan is –290 degrees Fahrenheit). Most of Titan’s mid-latitudes are covered with sand dunes made of icy grains coated with hydrocarbons.
In short, if the scientists interpret the color bands correctly, within the margin of error, a dark oval patch about the size of Great Salt Lake might be a lake of liquid methane. But other options are possible from the data – for instance, it could be a mudflat, a rain puddle, or a patch of dry hydrocarbon-coated sand. Cautiously, the scientists could only state that the data are consistent with it being a liquid methane lake as the best explanation – but even that hypothesis raises new problems, because lakes in tropical regions on Titan are thought to be unstable due to prevailing winds that pile up grains into giant dunes. So if it is a lake, the scientists surmised that the methane would have to come from below, like groundwater in marshes or oases on Earth, instead of from the atmosphere. But they can’t tell (if it is a lake) how deep it is, or how long it has been there, other than to note it has been observed since 2004 (eight years).
A lake – an oasis – a marsh – tropics – those suggestive words were all the news media needed to go nuts with visions of certainty. Here’s how it got reported:

• Live Science: “Giant Tropical Lake Found on Saturn Moon Titan” (Charles Q. Choi).

All but Live Science tied the report in with “building blocks of life,” but what they didn’t report is that even if this is a methane lake, it is a paltry pittance of one, compared to what scientists expected in the 1990s to find: a global ocean of liquid ethane and methane several kilometers deep. And only Live Science went into any detail about the problems with the lake hypothesis.
The problem gets even worse. Nature’s final paragraph pointed out that scientists are puzzled how any methane could still remain after the presumed 4.5 billion years of Titan’s existence, given that methane is destroyed rapidly:" CEH

Creation Moment 7/2/2012 - Leonhard Euler (Bio of a Christian scientist)

"According to math professor Howard Anton, he “made major contributions to virtually every branch of mathematics as well as to the theory of optics, planetary motion, electricity, magnetism, and general mechanics.” His name was Leonhard Euler (pronounced oiler), a true genius who was also a committed Christian all his life.

What is particularly astonishing is that Euler was blind for the last 17 years of his life, and this was one of his most productive periods! Euler’s flawless memory was phenomenal. Early in his life he memorized the entire Aeneid by Virgil and at age 70 could not only recite the entire work, but could also state the first and last sentence on each page of the book from which he memorized the work. His ability to solve problems in his head was beyond belief. He worked out in his head major problems of lunar motion that baffled Isaac Newton and once did a complicated calculation in his head to settle an argument between two students whose computations differed in the fiftieth decimal place.
This gives us cause to ponder the possibilities inherent in the human brain. It makes us wonder what initial abilities the Creator gave to man that have been degenerating since the creation, only to surface occasionally to above-average levels in rare geniuses like Euler. It also makes us wonder how any theory of evolution could ever produce such a superabundance of potential, far more than needed for mere survival.
 Dan Graves, in his excellent chapter on Euler in Scientists of Faith says, “Despite his turn to math, Euler retained his firm Calvinist beliefs throughout life, holding daily prayer and worship in his home and sometimes preaching.” Unable to find work in Switzerland, Leonhard moved to St. Petersburg, Russia where, at age 26, he met and married another Swiss emigrant, Katharina Gsell, his bride for 40 years.
Additional trials came from political and philosophical enemies. In his thirties, Euler moved from an unstable political situation in Russia, when spies were everywhere and purges were the rule, and worked under the Prussian emperor Frederick the Great. There he served 25 years and added immensely to the prestige of the Berlin Academy of Sciences. But his patron Frederick, an Enlightenment skeptic, sneered at the Christian faith of his niece’s tutor. In response, Euler wrote Letters to a German Princess, in which he gently combined piety with the sciences. The book became a best-seller in seven languages, but Frederick was not impressed. Voltaire, the French Enlightenment anti-Christian deist, joined in mocking Euler’s Biblical world view. Euler corresponded with apologetic works defending Christian doctrine against Voltaire, Leibniz, Wolff and other Enlightenment skeptics, until the interference and opposition by Frederick became intolerable and he had to uproot again. At age 59, he moved back to St. Petersburg to accept a position under Catherine II (the Great). The Russians welcomed him as a returning hero. But that was the year, 1766, when he became totally blind. In 1771, his house burned down and he escaped with his life and his manuscripts. Two years later, his wife died.
Euler’s work transformed the look of homework around the world: the convention of using the letter pi for the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle, the letter e for the base of the natural logarithm, the Greek letter sigma for the sum of a series of numbers, and the letter i for the unit of imaginary numbers. The theory of infinities and continuity. Important work on our present understanding of functions, including the highly-used f notation such as y = f(x). Greater perfection in differential and integral calculus, including many new techniques for solving indefinite integrals and the introduction of the well-known integral sign. More simplicity in analytical operations. Advances in the theory of linear differential equations. The properties of integers and the theory of numbers, leading to the foundations of pure mathematics. Euler’s criterion. Euler’s constant. Euler numbers. The list goes on.
In addition, Euler tackled numerous theoretical and practical physical problems, including work on the basic principles of mechanics, optics, acoustics and astronomy. " CEV

William Secker says - (Party Esteem)

"Now this scripture enjoins you, not only to salute your friends, but your enemies also. Party esteem is but whithered fruit, and falls rather from Sodom's, rather than Sion's trees."

The Nonsuch Professor p.2

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Tent Maker draws into God's tent

Interesting that God used a tent maker to draw the gentiles into His "tent".....Wasn't the Sanctuary (plan of salvation) originally in a tent?

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

IN the NEWS - TV viewing can SHORTEN your life

"Researchers from University of Queensland, in Brisbane Australia suggest that avid television watchers may have a shorter lifespan.
In research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine for every hour of TV watched after age 25 ones life is shortened by 22 minutes.

The reason for this link between television watching and a shorter life is controversial. Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine suggests that it may be due to the sedentary lifestyle required to watch a lot of television. He said:
“As a rule, the more time we spend watching TV, the more time we spend eating mindlessly in front of the TV, and the less time we spend being physically active, More eating and less physical activity, in turn, mean greater risk for obesity, and the chronic diseases it tends to anticipate, notably diabetes, heart disease and cancer.”
Katz also noted that the connection could be due to loneliness. He said that many who watch excessive amounts of television “are lonely, or isolated, or depressed, and these conditions, in turn, may be the real causes of premature mortality.”
In related news, On Monday, another study from the journal Lancet found that 15 minutes of physical activity a day could increase one’s lifespan by three years." PowerNewsNetwork
