SCAM ALERT - Dennis & Jen Clark

Dennis & Jen Clark were recently interviewed.
Dennis said he teaches to focus on the "god within instead of the God in heaven"..... Uhmm...anybody else see a problem with that attitude & rhetoric? Sounds like New-Age, psycho-pop babbel...then again Jen is a pychologist by training...

From one of their websites---
"You don't have to try it alone! Participate with Dennis as he coaches you through the steps of healing prayer. It is like having your own personal trainer for inner healing." How can you "coach" someone through "healing prayer"? And how much is he charging you for this "coaching"? $$$$$$$$$$$ Cha-Ching... What does GOD (the one in heaven Dennis) say about prayer? Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26 Hmmm...didn't read anything in that verse about needing to $$pay$$ Dennis to "coach" you in prayer...seems like the Holy Spirit knows what you are trying to say....



Dennis claims - "PERSONAL REVELATION During June of 1990, the Lord began to give me revelation concerning His corporate strategy for the end times." What is this "corporate" strategy?

Bill Gates Vs. God

"Just in terms of allocation of time resources,
religion is not very efficient."
Bill Gates quoted in Time 1/13/1997

Go to now, ye that say ,
To day or tomorrow we will go into such a city,
and continue there a year,
and buy and sell , and get gain:
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away . 
For that ye ought to say , If the Lord will , we shall live , and do this, or that.
James 4:13-15
 
 
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is;
that I may know how frail I am.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;
(Others came up out of water-representing multitudes of people-so this one comes up from a lightly populated region to begin with)
and he had two horns like a lamb,
(Horns represent power-America's secret to it's power is seperation of Church & State-& as for these horns not having crowns like the others--No Pope & No King)
and he spake as a dragon.
(Although "lamb"like, nice--It is powerful like a dragon)
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
(This power, America, exercises the Mark of the Beast when the time comes)
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,

"That Very Morning" - birth of SEED Faith (Prosperity gospel) by Oral Roberts

"Olsen's argument, essentially, is that the real founder and mastermind of prosperity doctrine was not Oral Roberts but Kenneth Hagin, "who is far more widely recognized as the man who joined Pentecostalism with the Faith Movement (also called 'Word-Faith,' or derogatively, the Prosperity Gospel or 'Health and Wealth' gospel)."

Father of the DISGUSTING
$$$ SEED FAITH $$$
(prosperity gospel) - Oral Roberts
Olsen, however, is wrong. He has evidently confused two categories. It is quite true that Kenneth Hagin is the main prosperity preacher who popularized word-faith doctrine--the notion that the words we speak determine the blessings we receive. Hagin borrowed that doctrine from an earlier, lesser-known preacher--E. W. Kenyon. Kenyon had been strongly influenced by the teachings of New Thought, a 19th-century metaphysical cult similar to Christian Science. So Hagin's word-faith doctrines had deeply cultic roots, but the idea fit perfectly with the prosperity doctrines that were already being taught by A. A. Allen, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, and other faith-healers. The two ideas were natural complements to one another.
In Oral Roberts: An American Life, biographer David Edwin Harrell, Jr., describes how Roberts discovered the prosperity gospel and how it became the centerpiece of his message. One day he opened his Bible randomly and spotted 3 John 2: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." He showed it to his wife, Evelyn, and "They talked excitedly about the verse's implications. Did it mean they could have a 'new car,' 'a new house,' a 'brand-new ministry?' In later years, Evelyn looked back on that morning as the point of embarkation: 'I really believe that that very morning was the beginning of this worldwide ministry that he has had, because it opened up his thinking."
After he embraced prosperity doctrine, Oral Roberts' best-known and most far-reaching brainchild was the Seed-Faith message. Roberts taught that money and material things donated to his organization were the seeds of prosperity and material blessings from God, and that God promises to multiply in miraculous ways whatever is given--and give many times more back to the donor. It was a simple, quasi-spiritual get-rich-quick scheme that appealed mainly to poor, disadvantaged, and desperate people." GTY.org
 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4;1

E.G.W. on the Pilgrims

"The English Reformers, while renouncing the doctrines of Romanism, had retained many of its forms. 
Thus though the authority and the creed of Rome were rejected, not a few of her customs and ceremonies were incorporated into the worship of the Church of England. It was claimed that these things were not matters of conscience; that though they were not commanded in Scripture, and hence were nonessential, yet not being forbidden, they were not intrinsically evil. Their observance tended to narrow the gulf which separated the reformed churches from Rome, and it was urged that they would promote the acceptance of the Protestant faith by Romanists.
 
As the tidings spread through the countries of Europe, of a land where every man might enjoy the fruit of his own labor and obey the convictions of his own conscience, thousands flocked to the shores of the New World. Colonies rapidly multiplied. "Massachusetts, by special law, offered free welcome and aid, at the public cost, to Christians of any nationality who might fly beyond the Atlantic 'to escape from wars or famine, or the oppression of their persecutors.' Thus the fugitive and the downtrodden were, by statute, made the guests of the commonwealth."--Martyn, vol. 5, p. 417. In twenty years from the first landing at Plymouth, as many thousand Pilgrims were settled in New England.
 
It was the desire for liberty of conscience that inspired the Pilgrims to brave the perils of the long journey across the sea, to endure the hardships and dangers of the wilderness, and with God's blessing to lay, on the shores of America, the foundation of a mighty nation. Yet honest and God-fearing as they were, the Pilgrims did not yet comprehend the great principle of religious liberty. The freedom which they sacrificed so much to secure for themselves, they were not equally ready to grant to others.
 
It was demonstrated that the principles of the Bible are the surest safeguards of national greatness. The feeble and isolated colonies grew to a confederation of powerful states, and the world marked with wonder the peace and prosperity of "a church without a pope, and a state without a king."
 
The regulation adopted by the early colonists, of permitting only members of the church to vote or to hold office in the civil government, led to most pernicious results. This measure had been accepted as a means of preserving the purity of the state, but it resulted in the corruption of the church. A profession of religion being the condition of suffrage and officeholding, many, actuated solely by motives of worldly policy, united with the church without a change of heart. Thus the churches came to consist, to a considerable extent, of unconverted persons; and even in the ministry were those who not only held errors of doctrine, but who were ignorant of the renewing power of the Holy Spirit.
 
The wide circulation of the Bible in the early part of the nineteenth century, and the great light thus shed upon the world, was not followed by a corresponding advance in knowledge of revealed truth, or in experimental religion. 
----Satan could not, as in former ages, keep God's word from the people; it had been placed within the reach of all; but in order still to accomplish his object, he led many to value it but lightly. 
---Men neglected to search the Scriptures, and thus they continued to accept false interpretations, and to cherish doctrines which had no foundation in the Bible."
The Great Controversy p.290,292,293,297,298 E.G.W.
 
...and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:17

IN the NEWS - Charlie Brown, Atheists & a Church

"LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (CBS Atlanta) — Charlie Brown has been caught in the crossfire of the “war on Christmas” mantra.
KARK-TV reports that some parents were upset that Terry Elementary School in Little Rock wanted to take children to go see a play of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at a local church.
Is inside the Church the appropriate place
for this play? Just asking....
“The parents that we know in this situation are reluctant to speak up because they are concerned about their kids being singled out and bullied,” Anne Orsi, a lawyer and member of the Arkansas Society of Free Thinkers, told KARK.
The group is a volunteer organization of secular individuals whose goals are to “promote public acceptance of nonbelievers” and “defend science education and the separation of church and state.”
Orsi said on the group’s Facebook page that the school is “sponsoring field trips to evangelical churches.”
“While everyone loves Charlie Brown, the religious content of the program is a problem, as is the trip to a church to see it,” she said.
Parents had mixed feelings about the controversy.
Shamar Stokes told KARK that he has a problem with the religious aspect but, in the end, “wouldn’t have a problem with my child going to see Charlie Brown.”
One unidentified parent did have a problem, though.
“I think church and school should be kept completely separate at all times,” the parent told the station.
“A Charlie Brown Christmas,” which was first released in 1965, is the story about Charlie Brown looking past the commercialism that surrounds Christmas and finds the true meaning of the day through his friend Linus." CBS

2 Points:
1) Do these atheists have anything better to do? No one is brainwashing their children by watching a Charlie Brown play in a church....And speaking of forcing your view on people-I'm sure the children are being indoctrinated with the origins myth of evolution in the school...
2) WHY is a church putting on a Charlie Brown play in the church though? WHY?
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, ....... to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27

IN the NEWS - Golden Dawn in Greece (Case Study of rising militants due to financial crises)

"ATHENS, Greece - As the economies in the Eurozone continue to crumble, some experts have begun to worry about the rise of fascism, especially in Greece.
Video shot on Sept. 7 in the Greek town of Rafina shows members of the fascist group Golden Dawn marching into a market used by immigrants to sell their wares.
Golden Dawn checked for business permits then destroyed the stands of those who can't produce a document.
One of the leaders of the raid, who is also a sitting parliament member, George Germenis, said they did it to honor the Virgin Mary.
As Greek society continues to unravel, Golden Dawn is rising up. Greece faces of an acute shortage of jobs, food, medicine and leadership. And Greeks are looking for a savior.
The economic crisis has caused more Greeks to lose faith in the political class. They're looking elsewhere for answers.
"Nothing changes. Only with a revolution can things change," a man named Stavros, a pensioner, said.
"If this political system doesn't change for new people to come in, Greece will not move forward. We are living moments from the Apocalypse," another pensioner, Anna, said.
Employment among young adults has hit an incredible 55 percent. Experts fear a replay of the 1930s, when a depression in Germany helped usher Hitler to power.
Golden Dawn's official support is now between 10 and 12 percent, but is probably higher. In a nation where politicians don't seem to have an answer to a crisis that has brought Greece to its knees, the appeal of Golden Dawn is that it has an answer, even if it's the wrong answer.
Golden Dawn has begun to take on some government functions, even giving out food, but to ethnic Greeks only. Greek police, who reportedly support the party "in larger numbers, have told the public to go to Golden Dawn for help."
But for immigrants and refugees, Golden Dawn is a nightmare. CBN News interviewed immigrants in Athens who are forced to hide in their apartment to keep from being attacked in the street.
They escaped from Afghanistan, but now want to go home, saying coming to Greece is the biggest mistake they ever made.
"This is very bad. You can imagine one political party with weapons, with knives, they are going out in the roads, and this is politics? This is not politics," Javed Aslam, head of the Pakistani community in Greece, said. "That's why we are worried so much."
A Golden Dawn leader summed it up to the group's followers, saying, "Their nightmare is here. We are. You are. It's the Golden Dawn." CBN
Men's hearts failing them for fear,
and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:
Luke 21:26
Global Financial Crises????
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:17
"The Golden Dawn has also begun engaging left-wing anarchy groups in street battles — more evidence, observers say, of a societal breakdown that some here fear could slide into a civil war if Greece is forced out of the euro and into an even deeper crisis.
A Celtic Cross replaces the Nazi Swastika
in the latest emblem of the Golden Dawn of Greece
But perhaps more worrisome, critics say, are signs that the Golden Dawn is establishing itself as an alternative authority in a country crippled by the harsh austerity imposed by its international lenders. It has set up its own “pure” blood bank, providing and accepting donations to and from Greeks only, in a nation of 11 million that is also home to roughly 1.5 million refugees and migrants, many of them from the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. As the party attempts to place a swelling number of unemployed in jobs, its officials say they have persuaded a major restaurant chain to begin replacing immigrants with Greek workers.
Landlords can seek the party’s help with the eviction of immigrant tenants. The Golden Dawn can provide not only government health inspectors and lawyers sympathetic to its goals, but also security, in the form of black­-uniformed followers with military haircuts who salute one another with upraised fists."

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

A Walk Through Job - Confused In the Shadow of Death

If I sin ,
then thou markest me,
and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.   
If I be wicked ,
woe unto me;
and if I be righteous ,
yet will I not lift up my head.
I am full of confusion;
therefore see thou mine affliction;   
For it increaseth .
Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:
and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.      
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,
and increasest thine indignation upon me;
changes and war are against me.      
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
Oh that I had given up the ghost ,
and no eye had seen me!      
I should have been as though I had not been;
I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.   
Are not my days few?
cease then, and let me alone , that I may take comfort a little,   
Before I go whence I shall not return ,
even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;   
A land of darkness, as darkness itself;
and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

Creation Moment 11/23/2012 - "Science" reporters delve into politics

An Article from CreationEvolutionHeadlines website
As you will see, these "science" reporters are politically biased- of course their politics always plays a role from evolution to global warming to abortion & even homosexuality...this stuff is a RELIGION to secular humanists
"What on earth are science reporters doing promoting communism by “framing” the language of redistributive tax policy?
One might hope that science should steer clear of political ideology. But look at this headline that appeared on both Science Daily and PhysOrg: “Want to influence support for redistributive tax policies? Choose your words carefully.” This sounds like naked advocacy for income redistribution, a key element of communism. The articles are unmodified echoes of a press release from the Association for Psychological Science, making these two leading science media sites complicit in advocating a communist principle.
The article described supposed experiments that showed conservatives less likely to oppose income redistribution if the questions were phrased in terms of how much the rich made over the poor, versus how much less the poor made with respect to the rich. The pseudo-empiricism of this “experiment” was undermined by a clear goal of figuring out how to soften the opposition to redistribution.
Redistribution of wealth is a core concept of communism. Perceiving the distance between poor and rich, Marx built his system as a means of taking from the rich and giving to the poor (income redistribution), with the revolutionary government taxed with punishing the bourgeousie to reward the proletariat, to achieve a utopia of equality of outcome. Capitalists, instead, believe in equality of opportunity. They believe that the free market motivates the entrepreneur to take risks with the hope of reward. The capitalist is further incentivized to please customers by lowering prices and creating better products. Wealth is not seen as a zero-sum game. Instead, the economy grows, the pie enlarges, and everyone benefits when free market competition creates wealth. Capitalism is built on initiative, responsibility and reward rather than class envy.
The psychologists at Carnegie Mellon employed the euphemism “income inequality,” a phrase conjuring up class warfare. That the researchers were interested in softening opposition to the communist principle of redistribution of wealth is seen in the statement that the research suggested “a simple manipulation of language might be able to influence support for policies aimed at addressing income inequality.” But should scientists create tools of psychological manipulation to enable the efforts of political idealogues?
One can conceive the experiment being framed in an opposite way. Anti-communist psychologists (if such a species exists) might frame their questions in terms of “equality of opportunity” and “personal responsibility” or freedom. They might use liberal subjects to measure how much the “framing” of the presentation changed their views. That the Carnegie Mellon psychologists did not do this is further evidence of a pro-communist bias in their construction of experiment. It undermines any pretense of objectivity. An objective experiment (assuming experiments on humans are valid in the first place) should have used equal numbers of conservative and liberal subjects (assuming such categories could be reliably identified), and had a control group. Even so, experiments on psychological manipulation raise serious ethical issues. This appears to be an experiment for identifying the most effective psychopolitical propaganda, not a scientific experiment.
In another example of trying to influence the election, Live Science used scare tactics to suggest, “Could Romney Overturn Roe v. Wade?” If this were a simple neutral question answered with facts and probabilities, it might claim to be scientific. The language, however, described Roe v. Wade as “the Supreme Court decision that protected a woman’s right to have an abortion” instead of “the decision that denied an unborn baby’s right to life” (life being one of the inalienable rights deemed self-evident in the Declaration of Independence). In other words, the article scares the reader that Romney could reduce an alleged right, not that Obama is reducing a more fundamental right. Further evidence of advocacy is seen at the end of the article: “Pass it on: It’s possible Roe vs. Wade could be overturned if a new Supreme Court judge is appointed who takes a stance against abortion rights.” Should a science report tell its readers to pass it on? Should it use the phrase “abortion rights” instead of “right to life”?"
But though we, or an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8
