Ecumenical prayers for Satan’s stronghold
Tomorrow Friday 26-March, 2010, the week of morning for the fire gutted Kasubi tombs will end with ecumenical prayers ( inter-denominational prayers) with catholic Arch-Bishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga as the chief celebrant. He will be joined by Ps Alex Mitala (Pentecostals), Anglican Church’s Kityo Luwalira, Supreme Mufti leader, Zubair Kayongo and Orthodox Church’s Jonan Lwanga. God is using this occasion to test the hearts of men. I have been telling people that there is no rival in Uganda bur rather hypocrisy, Satanism and spiritual fornication. The likes of Pastor Joseph Serwadda and Robert Kayanja have been going around deceiving people that there is revival in Uganda. Last Sunday Pastor Robert Kayanja was on Christian Voice, on UBC deceiving people that God is going the spread the revival in Uganda to other African nations.
What is Ecumenism???

Apostle Mitala’s back to the bible truth becomes back to the bible errors
Apostle Alex Mitala was recently elected unopposed as Chairman of the National Fellowship of Born again Pentecostal churches. He has a programe on LTV every Sunday called ‘’BACK TO THE BIBLE TRUTH’’. In this programme he frequently attacks the catholic church, Anglican church and pseudo Christian churches for deviating from the bible. Surprisingly he has now taken the wider road to Rome. What a shame!!!!

One dead, 250 hurt at Kasubi prayers
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/12/714297
Friday, 26th March, 2010
By Henry Mukasa
and Jimmy Muwanika
AT least one person died and hundreds more were injured yesterday as tens of thousands gathered for prayers at Kasubi royal tombs that got burnt last week….
Rev. Fr. Lawrence Ssemusu, who was the master of ceremony during the prayer, observed that the burning of the tombs had touched ‘a tender nerve’ in Buganda.
“The dead should have been left to rest in peace. There have been recriminations and counter-recriminations. Maybe no definitive answer will be given. We come here to mend a broken heart,” he said.
Catholic Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga asked God to sow seeds of peace and unity in the hearts of Ugandans.
“We shall not lose hope. We shall restore the tombs and erect a wall fence to guard against intruders,” he said.
Sheikh Zubair Kayongo called the fire a callous act, vowing that it would not break the Baganda’s love for their culture and kingdom. “The love for the Kabaka is natural and you can’t stop it like you treat malaria. You cannot dilute that inner-born love because we see the Kabaka as a shadow of God,” he said.
Bishop Kityo Luwalira of the Namirembe Anglican diocese said the omnipresent God would show Buganda the arsonist. “Let him use the period of lent to repent. You cannot hide anything from God,” he said.
Archbishop Yonah Lwanga of the Orthodox Church called for calm as the Baganda embark on the reconstruction and restoration of the sanctity of the tombs.

Kasubi tombs the center of Bugada’s spirituality
The Kasubi tomb site is a centre for ancestral worship(devil worship). Contrary to the hypocrisy of religious leaders. The catholic church is silent about the Satanism in Buganda kingdom in general and Kasubi tombs in Particular because they have received a lot of land from Buganda kingdom. From Monday 22- March-2010 a lot of satanic rituals have been going on in this site where the ecumenical prayers will be held . These rituals include pipe smoking and devil possession. When you visits this site you will see people shaking under devil possession. These rituals have nothing to do with the Lord Jesus Christ. How can you therefore pray to God to restore a satanic stronghold?

'SHEEP' THAT PROTECT THE DRAGON: Pentecostal movement mourns with Buganda over loss of Kasubi tombs
http://watchmanafrica.blogspot.com/2010/03/sheep-that-protect-dragon-pentecostal.html
WHAT YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT KASUBI TOMBS
This Kasubi tomb site that was gutted by fire is the greatest satanic stronghold in Uganda. It contains a fire altar that burns 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So many satanic rituals are done at this site. Religious leaders in Uganda are silent about the Satanism in this site. Prayers have already been conducted in the Anglican Namirembe cathedral for the so called loss. Definitely the act of burning these tombs is carnal, but the incident has revealed how the catholic, Anglican and certain sections of Pentecostal churches in Uganda have nothing to do with truth and the Lord Jesus Christ. Their interest is power, prestige and politics. Flee these hypocrites now. They are not entering heaven but broke whoever is trying to enter heaven.

Kings and his subjects cry over tombs
One amazing thing is the crying of the king and his subjects for the loss of the tombs. This incident has a lot of spiritual significance. They were crying because of the attack on their satanic spiritual power. Now, a tear cleansing ceremony will be conducted on the king. The baganda have a belief that when the king cries, he must be cleansed of his tears, if this is not done tears will never cease in the kingdom. This satanic tear washing ceremony involves the use of many herbs among other satanic rituals. What is most interesting is that this satanic ritual cleansing ceremony will take place at the site of the ecumenical prayers.

The Catholic Church, Pedophilia, and Lessons for Ugandan Evangelicals
The Catholic Church, Pedophilia, and Lessons for Ugandan Evangelicals
http://www.yesumulungi.com/index.php/apostasy-watch/412-the-catholic-church-pedophilia-and-lessons-for-ugandan-evangelicals.html
Kato Mivule | March 24, 2010
Recent news has been flooded with stories of sexual abuse, pedophilia, and the cover-up inside the Catholic Church in Ireland, Germany, and other parts of Europe. What made matters worse and more interesting was the cover-up that involved the current Pope of the Catholic Church.
According to media sources, Pope Benedict XVI was involved in the cover-up of some of the sexual abuse and pedophilia cases that he oversaw the transfer those priests who were physically involved in pedophilia to other parishes. The sex scandal is shaking the Catholic Church worldwide, attracting the keen interest of Lawmakers, Justice Departments, and Criminal Investigations.
The Catholic Church Institution has for long positioned itself to behave like they have different set of rules and laws from their parishioners to the point that protection was offered to the pedophile priests rather than to the Children who were victimized. Yet still this sexual scandal goes as far to reveal the foundation of the Catholic Church Institution as not being Jesus Christ and His Teachings but the teachings of mere men and thus a misrepresentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As one commentator aptly put it, the Roman Catholic Church Institution and the New Testament Christian Teachings totally contradict each other. Take for instance the doctrine and teachings that Priests are not supposed to get married but are commanded to take vows of celibacy. No where in the New Testament are such teachings found and as such those who wish to be ministers in the Roman Catholic Church are forced into vows and agreements of celibacy that they cannot keep. Salvation then becomes a set of Rules and Laws created by mere men rather than Grace in Jesus Christ. To keep their celibacy vows and appear well in public, the priests then get back doors through which they satisfy their sexual desires, and sadly that is with minors whom they suppose will not talk about such occurrences.
This is in no way generalizing that all Priests in the Catholic Church engage in pedophilia but my point is that the root cause of the sexual scandals go back to to the very man-made rules and doctrines that do not provide Grace but rather unbiblical stringent rules and laws that bring with them a curse and judgment, in this case pedophilia.
Galatians 3:10-14 KJV For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (11) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (12) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Colossians 2:8 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
There are many Priests who have been faithful in their celibacy vows yet still this would be totally contrary to New Testament Teachings to force ministers into Celibacy. Yet this raises a question, would the some married Catholic Priests not engage in abuse of Children? Yes, it does happen among married couples but at least that would be minimized or at least greater accountability. Another question would be pedophilia cases in other Protestant Churches like the Evangelical Church were most ministers are married. While this is true, the level at which such abuses take place in “Protestant” Churches is not as rampant as in the Catholic Church and also there is always a quick response to expose the pedophiles rather than protect and shield them.
The Roman Catholic Church Institution yields tremendous power and influence over almost a billion Christian followers around the world who genuinely believe that by placing their faith in the Roman Catholic Church Institution, they are placing their faith in Jesus Christ. This is in no way to bash and demean well meaning Christians who attend Roman Catholic Churches with genuine hearts only to suffer abuse, yet this is the time that such Christians pick up their Bibles and begin a personal journey into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ rather than outsourcing their spirituality to intermediaries. The institution has made made the followers believe in intermediaries rather than have followers have a direct personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As such, the followers place tremendous trust in priests and in such environments, pedophile priests sexually take advantage of young boys.
Yet still the same traits of vice are happening in the Evangelical Church were the Church is being turned into an institution and a priest-like structure being built, Evangelical Christians find themselves in the same position as Catholic Christians, trusting man to be an intermediary between them and Jesus Christ. As such, Pastors take advantage of their flocks to abuse and extort money. Rather than have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Evangelicals are increasingly relying on Pastors, Christian Books, CDs, DVDs, TV and Radio shows for their spirituality. The same error of the Roman Catholic Church to institutionalize Christianity is being repeated by numerous Evangelical and Protestant Churches, yet such institutions cannot at any one time fulfill their spiritual hunger and thirst as when one has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Secondly, Jesus Christ is Head of His Church and does not need man to represent him on earth to take over His role as Head of His Church. This too opens doors for man to rule the Church rather than Jesus Christ. In a number of Evangelical Churches, men have appointed themselves as Head of the Church of Christ just like the Catholic Church and the results are not more spirituality but carnality. The pedophilia scandals rocking the Roman Catholic Church are testament to that. The shaking is going to continue and The Lord will shake everything that is shakable that only that which is built on His Foundation – His word will stay standing...
Hebrews 12:24-29 KJV And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (25) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: (26) Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. (27) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. (28) Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: (29) For our God is a consuming fire.
Ironically the Catholic Church has withered the the storms of secularism throughout the centuries and kept the narrative on the Existence of God, Jesus Christ, Morality, Life After Death, Sin, Forgiveness and other Christian beliefs live in the secular discourse. For instance the Roman Catholic Church has stood strong conservatively on the issue of Abortion and Protecting the Sanctity of marriage. The Roman Catholic Church has given millions of dollars in Charities and stood for and called for Social Justice in many parts of the world. However, the Roman Catholic Church has only maintained institutional structures and doctrines that continuously place impediments between people and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Now some Christians had a problem with the term “Social Justice” that I outlined in my previous article, claiming that the word “Social” is not found anywhere in the Bible but Justice is... Such responses and arguments are just a play on semantics. The Old Testament is full of scriptures in which prophets and ministers of The Lord call for justice for the weak, poor, orphans, oppressed, women, children, and widows, and if you are not dealing with social groups there, then there is something wrong witch such thinking. One Christian even mentioned that “Social economic Justice” is different from Christian Charity, I totally agree but totally disagree when one claims that Christian Charities should not be a voice for “Social Economic Justice” as long as they keep to the bounds of the Christian Faith and tenets, as “Social Justice” can be defined relative to one's beliefs.
Yet still many Evangelicals in the west hate any word phrase that has the term “social” in it, for them, it means socialism and communism, The very hypocritical Evangelicals always voice their opinion against Gay marriage and call out for Justice for the unborn babies yet they deny such justice for the poor, weak, widows, orphans, and all those cheated and defrauded by the greedy capitalist system they love and embrace. It is a shame that as long as one speaks out for Justice for the unborn babies, they are seen as “Patriotic” yet if one voices out for the poor and all those cheated by the current greedy capitalistic system, they are labeled socialists, ideas they borrow from 'McCarthyism', ideologies of a former US Senator, Joseph McCarthy an American extremist Right-wing Senator who sought to label all dissent as socialist and communist during the cold war, throwing fear among Americans then that there was a Socialist and Communist “Take Over” of America then, no different from the talking points of the 'Tea Bag Movement' today.
Interestingly, the Pedophilia Scandal in the Roman Catholic in Europe has drawn keen interest of the law enforcement authorities and calls for prosecution of priests engaged in pedophilia. This is one lesson that Ugandan Evangelicals failed to learn in their “fight against homosexuality”. The leaders of Uganda's Evangelical Church turned their fight against Homosexuals rather than seek prosecution against Child Abuse and Pedophilia. The fact is that many children, Teenagers, and young adults have been sexually molested and abused by big name pastors inside Evangelical Churches in Uganda. However, many of the child abusers are walking free today, while some freely preach on pulpits partly because of the distraction of the Ugandan Evangelical Leaders who lost strategy and rather sought Legislation to ban Homosexuality and including death penalties for Homosexual. Yet today the pedophile preachers and pastors in Uganda are still walking free not one has faced prosecution for the crimes committed. The push for laws against Homosexuality in Uganda served no purpose at all in seeking justice for the many young boys who have sexually been molested and abused by pedophile preachers and pastors. Perhaps the Ugandan Evangelical Church Leaders will learn from the Catholic Sexual Scandal in Both the USA and Europe and re-strategize in seeking Justice for those who have been victimized by pedophiles purporting to be preachers in Uganda.
It is going to be very difficult for the Roman Catholic Church to continue their secrecy, especially in Europe were many folks are less interested in religion and therefore will be less sympathetic. If the Catholic Church paid over 2 Billion US Dollars to settle the sexual abuse cases in the USA alone, the settlement in Europe will be far reaching and a bankruptcy is not far away, assuming other cases of sexual abuse emerge in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This is really a shaking of the Catholic Church that will surely bring it down to her knees, though not crumble it. Yet Protestant denominations had better watch out, especially the Evangelicals and its Prosperity Gospel wing...whatever is not built on The Lord's Foundation will utterly be shaken and will crumble and fall.

This is in no way generalizing that all Priests in the Catholic Church engage in pedophilia but my point is that the root cause of the sexual scandals go back to to the very man-made rules and doctrines that do not provide Grace but rather unbiblical stringent rules and laws that bring with them a curse and judgment, in this case pedophilia.
Galatians 3:10-14 KJV For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (11) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (12) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Colossians 2:8 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
There are many Priests who have been faithful in their celibacy vows yet still this would be totally contrary to New Testament Teachings to force ministers into Celibacy. Yet this raises a question, would the some married Catholic Priests not engage in abuse of Children? Yes, it does happen among married couples but at least that would be minimized or at least greater accountability. Another question would be pedophilia cases in other Protestant Churches like the Evangelical Church were most ministers are married. While this is true, the level at which such abuses take place in “Protestant” Churches is not as rampant as in the Catholic Church and also there is always a quick response to expose the pedophiles rather than protect and shield them.
The Roman Catholic Church Institution yields tremendous power and influence over almost a billion Christian followers around the world who genuinely believe that by placing their faith in the Roman Catholic Church Institution, they are placing their faith in Jesus Christ. This is in no way to bash and demean well meaning Christians who attend Roman Catholic Churches with genuine hearts only to suffer abuse, yet this is the time that such Christians pick up their Bibles and begin a personal journey into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ rather than outsourcing their spirituality to intermediaries. The institution has made made the followers believe in intermediaries rather than have followers have a direct personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As such, the followers place tremendous trust in priests and in such environments, pedophile priests sexually take advantage of young boys.
Yet still the same traits of vice are happening in the Evangelical Church were the Church is being turned into an institution and a priest-like structure being built, Evangelical Christians find themselves in the same position as Catholic Christians, trusting man to be an intermediary between them and Jesus Christ. As such, Pastors take advantage of their flocks to abuse and extort money. Rather than have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Evangelicals are increasingly relying on Pastors, Christian Books, CDs, DVDs, TV and Radio shows for their spirituality. The same error of the Roman Catholic Church to institutionalize Christianity is being repeated by numerous Evangelical and Protestant Churches, yet such institutions cannot at any one time fulfill their spiritual hunger and thirst as when one has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Secondly, Jesus Christ is Head of His Church and does not need man to represent him on earth to take over His role as Head of His Church. This too opens doors for man to rule the Church rather than Jesus Christ. In a number of Evangelical Churches, men have appointed themselves as Head of the Church of Christ just like the Catholic Church and the results are not more spirituality but carnality. The pedophilia scandals rocking the Roman Catholic Church are testament to that. The shaking is going to continue and The Lord will shake everything that is shakable that only that which is built on His Foundation – His word will stay standing...
Hebrews 12:24-29 KJV And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (25) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: (26) Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. (27) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. (28) Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: (29) For our God is a consuming fire.
Ironically the Catholic Church has withered the the storms of secularism throughout the centuries and kept the narrative on the Existence of God, Jesus Christ, Morality, Life After Death, Sin, Forgiveness and other Christian beliefs live in the secular discourse. For instance the Roman Catholic Church has stood strong conservatively on the issue of Abortion and Protecting the Sanctity of marriage. The Roman Catholic Church has given millions of dollars in Charities and stood for and called for Social Justice in many parts of the world. However, the Roman Catholic Church has only maintained institutional structures and doctrines that continuously place impediments between people and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Now some Christians had a problem with the term “Social Justice” that I outlined in my previous article, claiming that the word “Social” is not found anywhere in the Bible but Justice is... Such responses and arguments are just a play on semantics. The Old Testament is full of scriptures in which prophets and ministers of The Lord call for justice for the weak, poor, orphans, oppressed, women, children, and widows, and if you are not dealing with social groups there, then there is something wrong witch such thinking. One Christian even mentioned that “Social economic Justice” is different from Christian Charity, I totally agree but totally disagree when one claims that Christian Charities should not be a voice for “Social Economic Justice” as long as they keep to the bounds of the Christian Faith and tenets, as “Social Justice” can be defined relative to one's beliefs.
Yet still many Evangelicals in the west hate any word phrase that has the term “social” in it, for them, it means socialism and communism, The very hypocritical Evangelicals always voice their opinion against Gay marriage and call out for Justice for the unborn babies yet they deny such justice for the poor, weak, widows, orphans, and all those cheated and defrauded by the greedy capitalist system they love and embrace. It is a shame that as long as one speaks out for Justice for the unborn babies, they are seen as “Patriotic” yet if one voices out for the poor and all those cheated by the current greedy capitalistic system, they are labeled socialists, ideas they borrow from 'McCarthyism', ideologies of a former US Senator, Joseph McCarthy an American extremist Right-wing Senator who sought to label all dissent as socialist and communist during the cold war, throwing fear among Americans then that there was a Socialist and Communist “Take Over” of America then, no different from the talking points of the 'Tea Bag Movement' today.
Interestingly, the Pedophilia Scandal in the Roman Catholic in Europe has drawn keen interest of the law enforcement authorities and calls for prosecution of priests engaged in pedophilia. This is one lesson that Ugandan Evangelicals failed to learn in their “fight against homosexuality”. The leaders of Uganda's Evangelical Church turned their fight against Homosexuals rather than seek prosecution against Child Abuse and Pedophilia. The fact is that many children, Teenagers, and young adults have been sexually molested and abused by big name pastors inside Evangelical Churches in Uganda. However, many of the child abusers are walking free today, while some freely preach on pulpits partly because of the distraction of the Ugandan Evangelical Leaders who lost strategy and rather sought Legislation to ban Homosexuality and including death penalties for Homosexual. Yet today the pedophile preachers and pastors in Uganda are still walking free not one has faced prosecution for the crimes committed. The push for laws against Homosexuality in Uganda served no purpose at all in seeking justice for the many young boys who have sexually been molested and abused by pedophile preachers and pastors. Perhaps the Ugandan Evangelical Church Leaders will learn from the Catholic Sexual Scandal in Both the USA and Europe and re-strategize in seeking Justice for those who have been victimized by pedophiles purporting to be preachers in Uganda.
It is going to be very difficult for the Roman Catholic Church to continue their secrecy, especially in Europe were many folks are less interested in religion and therefore will be less sympathetic. If the Catholic Church paid over 2 Billion US Dollars to settle the sexual abuse cases in the USA alone, the settlement in Europe will be far reaching and a bankruptcy is not far away, assuming other cases of sexual abuse emerge in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This is really a shaking of the Catholic Church that will surely bring it down to her knees, though not crumble it. Yet Protestant denominations had better watch out, especially the Evangelicals and its Prosperity Gospel wing...whatever is not built on The Lord's Foundation will utterly be shaken and will crumble and fall.

Some Christians claim that any correction or questioning of ministries should always be done PRIVATELY - and only to the leaders concerned - never in public. (It is important to note that many such approaches have indeed been made to Prophetic/ Apostolic leaders over the years. They have basically been ignored).
But either way, I am afraid I cannot agree that public deception is only to be opposed behind closed doors. It seems to me that false teaching would thrive in such an environment. In Scripture we see clearly that there are occasions when private correction is appropriate, and other occasions when a more public airing is necessary. There is the quiet "Matthew 18" approach, and then there are others. After all, shouldn't we have the love and care of the precious sheep uppermost in our minds? Are we just supposed to say nothing and let the "leaven" spread and spread?
We must not forget that in the New Testament the elders were commanded to correct severely (Titus 1:13) and to rebuke for sin publicly (1 Tim 5:20), though in 2 Tim 2:24-26 they were instructed to correct with 'meekness'. Remember, the apostle Paul rebuked Peter publicly in Galatians 2 for his hypocrisy, Jesus rebuked Peter openly in Matthew, and He even whipped the sellers out of the temple publicly in Mark (for making God's house a 'den of thieves'). In extreme cases the apostle Paul actually wrote to everyone that he was turning people over to Satan for correction (see 1 Cor 5 and 1 Tim 1:20). The Bible is very clear that one of our major tasks is to "expose" the deeds of darkness (Eph 5:11). In 1 Cor 4:21 Paul asks the people, "Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love?" The same apostle used 'boldness' in 2 Cor 10:1 and said that he would not spare anyone in 2 Cor 13:1-2.
Many Christians insist on applying Matt 18:15-17 to every situation. But what about false teachers? The above passage in Matt 18 says that if my brother "sins against me" then I should go to him privately about it - then with one or two witnesses - and then to the whole church if he does not repent. This is a very important process for resolving issues where a brother has sinned against me personally.
But what about FALSE TEACHING of a serious nature? What if it is spreading or starting to infect entire sections of the body of Christ? Is it still just a "private matter"?
My understanding is that in the New Testament we NEVER see Jesus or the apostles treating false teaching as a "Matt 18" scenario. We see them publicly rebuking and correcting - trying to arrest the 'cancer' before it spreads any further. This is an act of LOVE towards the body. It is trying to stop the damage before too many precious sheep are harmed. False teaching and false prophets are never treated "nicely" or "sweetly" in the New Testament! (By the way, I am not advocating today's "heresy hunters", whom I believe often go about things with entirely the wrong spirit. But I am just laying down a few biblical guidelines here).
This is certainly an important issue in these Last Days, when we are told that false prophets and false teachers will 'abound', and that the deception will become so great that "if possible it would deceive the very elect". It is vital that we get a grasp of what is at stake here. The false teachers and false prophets in Acts were rebuked very bluntly, and Paul even "named names" in some of his letters to the churches. So surely we cannot continue to claim that this is all a "Matt 18" situation? Surely it is more serious than that - and requires a more drastic response?
Of course, we must always be "speaking the truth in love" – and have the protection of Christ's precious sheep uppermost. But surely we must speak out if we see real danger to the Body? Comments, anyone?
God bless you all!

The Manhattan Declaration: “Evangelical” Ecumenists Unite with Rome to Advance Rome’s Cause
FIRST SEE: Catholic Agenda Embedded in the Manhattan Declaration, by Richard Bennett

The Manhattan Declaration: “Evangelical” Ecumenists Unite with Rome to Advance Rome’s Cause''
by Shaun Willcock
On the 20th November 2009, the Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience was released, and is taking the ecumenical world by storm. It says: “We, as Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical Christians, have gathered, beginning in New York on September 28, 2009, to make the following declaration, which we sign as individuals, not on behalf of our organizations, but speaking to and from our communities. We act together in obedience to the one true God, the triune God of holiness and love, who has laid total claim on our lives and by that claim calls us with believers in all ages and all nations to seek and defend the good of all who bear his image. We set forth this declaration in light of the truth that is grounded in Holy Scripture, in natural human reason (which is itself, in our view, the gift of a beneficent God), and in the very nature of the human person. We call upon all people of goodwill, believers and non-believers alike, to consider carefully and reflect critically on the issues we here address as we, with St. Paul, commend this appeal to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”
The document defines what it is about, with the following statement in its preamble:
“While the whole scope of Christian moral concern, including a special concern for the poor and vulnerable, claims our attention, we are especially troubled that in our nation [the United States] today the lives of the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly are severely threatened; that the institution of marriage, already buffeted by promiscuity, infidelity and divorce, is in jeopardy of being redefined to accommodate fashionable ideologies; that freedom of religion and the rights of conscience are gravely jeopardized by those who would use the instruments of coercion to compel persons of faith to compromise their deepest convictions.” The document, then, is concerned with three issues: “Life” (against abortion, euthanasia, etc.); “Marriage” (against promiscuity, homosexuality, etc.); and “Religious Liberty”.
There have been a number of good, detailed analyses and exposés of the Manhattan Declaration. One that we would recommend was written by ex-priest Richard Bennett, entitled Catholic Agenda Embedded in the Manhattan Declaration. There is no need, here, to write a lengthy analysis along similar lines, for the declaration itself is fairly straightforward and simple, and any true Christian who critiques it would in general do so for the same reasons as all other true Christians would. Thus, although we most certainly add our voice of condemnation to the declaration, if we were to analyse it in depth we would be merely repeating the good labours of other men.
In brief, however, it is a very simple matter to lay out why true Christians must oppose it, and that is because it is a thoroughly ecumenical document! If there was no other reason than this for opposing it, this one would be sufficient.
This fact is made very evident in the quotation given above from the document: “We, as Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical Christians, have gathered... to make the following declaration.... We act together in obedience to the one true God...” It does not matter what “good” points there may be in the document; the fact that it was a thoroughly ecumenical project, with professed “Evangelicals” working on it, and signing it together, with Romanists and Eastern Orthodox, those enemies of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Church and His Gospel, is all that any true Christian needs to know in order to reject the document with disgust and contempt. Regardless of any “good” points it might make, it is nothing less than a betrayal of Christ and His Gospel. And as one reads through it, one sees the subtle attempts to present Romanism and Eastern Orthodoxy as Christian.
Various top-ranking Roman Catholic officials have enthusiastically signed the document, which proves its ecumenical nature. One of the original signatories, Romish bishop Salvatore Cordileone, stated: “I can say that this gathering in Manhattan and the Declaration which ensued represent a critical turning point in our nation’s history and a new ecumenical moment. After centuries of differences and at times even hostilities, we experienced a new sense of unity, common purpose and just plain joy to be in each other’s company. We realized that we can still respect differences while also doing what Pope John XXIII urged us: to focus on what unites us.”
There we have it, straight from the horse’s mouth. No true Christian should put his signature to a document enthusiastically endorsed by the bishops and priests of Antichrist. True Christians simply cannot unite with false ones in order to fight against society’s evils, without betraying the cause of Christ and His truth. There can be no common ground between believer and unbeliever, righteousness and unrighteousness, light and darkness, Christ and Belial (2 Cor. 6:14-18). And we cannot fight evil by joining with the forces of evil. The Lord will never bless such efforts.
Besides, the very things which the document claims it is seeking to defend – life, marriage, and religious liberty – have been destroyed by Romanism throughout the centuries. The Papacy claims to be “pro-life” but has massacred millions; it claims to be pro-marriage but refuses to allow its priests to marry and is a system riddled with sodomites; and it claims to defend religious liberty but has denied religious liberty to Protestants and others wherever it has had the power to do so. Thus, in addition to everything else, the Manhattan Declaration is a document of utter hypocrisy, and it is disgraceful that men claiming to be “Evangelicals” have signed it. They clearly are not true Evangelicals, and do not even understand the real nature of the Gospel and its call for total separation. By signing this document, they are in fact proclaiming, not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but the false “gospel” of Roman Catholic social justice! We suspect, however, that many of them, being wolves in sheep’s clothing, know very well that they are advocating a Roman Catholic social justice agenda.
It is shocking – but not surprising – that so many so-called “Evangelicals” have signed it. It is a sign of the doctrinal confusion, uncertainty and compromise of our times, and many of the signatories are men who have shown their true colours for many years, even decades. Here is a list of some of them:
The drafting committee consisted of Robert George of Princeton University, a Roman Catholic; Timothy George of Beeson Divinity School and editor of the pro-ecumenical Christianity Today; and Chuck Colson of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, a leading ecumenist for decades.
At the time of writing, some of the other prominent so-called “Evangelicals” who have signed it are:
Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary;
Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, USA;
Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family;
James Dobson of Focus on the Family;
J.I. Packer;
Josh McDowell, founder of Josh McDowell Ministry;
Michael L. Beresford, managing director of Church relations, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association;
Mark Bailey, president of Dallas Theological Seminary;
Robert C. Cannada, Jr., chancellor of Reformed Theological Seminary;
William Edgar, professor at Westminster Theological Seminary;
Michael Easley, president emeritus of Moody Bible Institute;
Cornelius Plantinga of Calvin Theological Seminary.
The above is just a very partial list. There will be many more who will sign it. It is gaining momentum daily. At the time of writing there are over 430 000 signatories. The Manhattan Declaration will reveal many more ecumenists within “Evangelical” ranks, showing just how riddled with heresy, compromise, confusion, and deceit the “Evangelical” world is. God’s people have only one path open to them: to separate entirely from these men who have betrayed the Gospel of Christ, and to quit looking up to men in the “Evangelical” world merely because of their degrees, or the positions they occupy, or the books they have written.
“Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me,” cried Moses when the people were worshipping the golden calf (Exod. 32:26). “And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves unto him” – and thus severed themselves from the rest. Today, those who are on the Lord’s side must make a clean break with compromise, error, heresy and sin, and gather themselves under the banner of Christ, separated from the mass of idolaters who falsely call themselves the Lord’s people. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing” (2 Cor. 6:17). The Manhattan Declaration is, truly, an unclean thing, and no child of God should touch it, nor align himself with those who are of Satan’s kingdom.

The Manhattan Declaration: “Evangelical” Ecumenists Unite with Rome to Advance Rome’s Cause''

They clearly are not true Evangelicals, and do not even understand the real nature of the Gospel and its call for total separation. By signing this document, they are in fact proclaiming, not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but the false “gospel” of Roman Catholic social justice! We suspect, however, that many of them, being wolves in sheep’s clothing, know very well that they are advocating a Roman Catholic social justice agenda.
It is shocking – but not surprising – that so many so-called “Evangelicals” have signed it. It is a sign of the doctrinal confusion, uncertainty and compromise of our times, and many of the signatories are men who have shown their true colours for many years, even decades. Here is a list of some of them:
The drafting committee consisted of Robert George of Princeton University, a Roman Catholic; Timothy George of Beeson Divinity School and editor of the pro-ecumenical Christianity Today; and Chuck Colson of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, a leading ecumenist for decades.
At the time of writing, some of the other prominent so-called “Evangelicals” who have signed it are:
Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary;
Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, USA;
Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family;
James Dobson of Focus on the Family;
J.I. Packer;
Josh McDowell, founder of Josh McDowell Ministry;
Michael L. Beresford, managing director of Church relations, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association;
Mark Bailey, president of Dallas Theological Seminary;
Robert C. Cannada, Jr., chancellor of Reformed Theological Seminary;
William Edgar, professor at Westminster Theological Seminary;
Michael Easley, president emeritus of Moody Bible Institute;
Cornelius Plantinga of Calvin Theological Seminary.
The above is just a very partial list. There will be many more who will sign it. It is gaining momentum daily. At the time of writing there are over 430 000 signatories. The Manhattan Declaration will reveal many more ecumenists within “Evangelical” ranks, showing just how riddled with heresy, compromise, confusion, and deceit the “Evangelical” world is. God’s people have only one path open to them: to separate entirely from these men who have betrayed the Gospel of Christ, and to quit looking up to men in the “Evangelical” world merely because of their degrees, or the positions they occupy, or the books they have written.
“Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me,” cried Moses when the people were worshipping the golden calf (Exod. 32:26). “And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves unto him” – and thus severed themselves from the rest. Today, those who are on the Lord’s side must make a clean break with compromise, error, heresy and sin, and gather themselves under the banner of Christ, separated from the mass of idolaters who falsely call themselves the Lord’s people. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing” (2 Cor. 6:17). The Manhattan Declaration is, truly, an unclean thing, and no child of God should touch it, nor align himself with those who are of Satan’s kingdom.

'SHEEP' THAT PROTECT THE DRAGON: Pentecostal movement mourns with Buganda over loss of Kasubi tombs
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God(Luke 16:14-15)
….that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
NOTE: WHAT YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT KASUBI TOMBS
This Kasubi tomb site that was gutted by fire is the greatest satanic stronghold in Uganda. It contains a fire altar that burns 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So many satanic rituals are done at this site. Religious leaders in Uganda are silent about the Satanism in this site. Prayers have already been conducted in the Anglican Namirembe cathedral for the so called loss. Definitely the act of burning these tombs is carnal, but the incident has revealed how the catholic, Anglican and certain sections of Pentecostal churches in Uganda have nothing to do with truth and the Lord Jesus Christ. Their interest is power, prestige and politics. Flee these hypocrites now. They are not entering heaven but broke whoever is trying to enter heaven.

Kampala
Leaders of the Pentecostal Movement in Uganda have consoled Buganda Kingdom over the burning of Kasubi Tombs in which four of the former Kings were buried.
The historical tombs on Tuesday night went up in flames engulfing the main building housing.
“As members of the Pentecostal Movement, we are greatly concerned and wish to express our sorrow over the loss of invaluable items that cannot be replaced,” said Pastor Fred Wantaate, the leader of Makerere Full Gospel Church on Thursday.

In Summary
While Buganda Kingdom has promised to rebuild the tombs, a process that President Museveni says his government to play a role in, the damage on many historical items in the fire means that one of Uganda’s most significant historical, cultural and tourist sites will never be the same again.
Kampala
The Kasubi tombs, which were torched Tuesday by a mysterious fire, are the Ugandan equivalent of the Egyptian pyramids, the ancient masonry structures that were constructed as burial grounds for the North African country’s Pharaohs.
The pyramids tower over the Kasubi tombs in size and international stature, but the two share a common denominator in the fact that they are both inscribed on the exclusive United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) list of world heritage sites. That tribute elevates Kasubi, where four previous Kabakas (kings) of Buganda Kingdom were buried in the dome-shaped main building named Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, to more than just an embodiment of the values of belief, spirituality, continuity and identity of Uganda’s largest cultural institution.

KASUBI TOMBS FIRE: What next for Buganda?
Tour operators recall glory of the royal tombs
Kasubi was initially the palace for Kabaka Mutesa I (1835-1884), who was buried at his palace, thereby breaking the tradition of being buried in his former palace. His son Mwanga II (1867-1903) was buried in the same palace, which went against the tradition of burying Kabakas in different places. That marked out Kasubi as an important cultural site, leading to the burial of two other Kabakas; Daudi Chwa II (1896-1939) and Muteesa II (1924-1969). Describing the 30-hectare tomb site as “a masterpiece of human creativity both in its conception and execution,” UNESCO says its spatial organisation represents the best extant example of a Buganda palace/architectural ensemble.
The inside of the tomb that burnt was partitioned with a huge bark cloth that separated the “sacred forest” where the four royal graves lie. The entrance to the sacred forest was limited to the widows of the Kabakas, the royal family, the Nalinya (the Kabaka’s official sister after his death who oversees all traditional custodians), and the Katikkiro (Prime Minister).
The greatest material loss at the tombs is perhaps the power insignias like the drums, spears, shields, medals and photographs of the Kabakas buried there, which adorned the inside of the house. The floor was also covered by a thick layer of lemon grass and palm leaves mats, and the entire structure was supported by straight wooded poles wrapped in backcloth.
While Buganda Kingdom has promised to rebuild the tombs, a process that President Museveni says his government to play a role in, the damage on many historical items in the fire means that one of Uganda’s most significant historical, cultural and tourist sites will never be the same again.
Brief description
The Tombs at Kasubi constitute a site embracing almost 30 hectares of hillside within Kampala District. Most of the site is agricultural, farmed by traditional methods.
At its core on the hilltop is the former palace of the Kabakas of Buganda, built in 1882 and converted into the royal burial ground in 1884.
Four royal tombs now lie within the Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, the main building, which is circular and surmounted by a dome.
It is a major example of an architectural achievement in organic materials, principally wood, thatch, reed, wattle and daub. The site’s main significance lies, however, in its intangible values of belief, spirituality, continuity and identity.
The actual site is a traditional circular house. There are a bunch of smaller circular houses built around it which belong to the Kabaka’s widows.Brief description
He said the burning of the 128-year-old burial grounds revered by the Baganda, was a great loss to everyone.
….that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

''SHEEP'' THAT SPEAK LIKE DRAGONS: Glen Beck ARGUES THAT JESUS WAS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE
Jerry Falwell Jr, Glen Beck, Social Justice, and the Mockery of The Poor
http://www.yesumulungi.com/index.php/commentaries/410-jerry-falwell-jr-glen-beck-social-justice-and-the-mockery-of-the-poor.html
Kato Mivule | March 15, 2010
This past week saw one of America's popular conservative Radio and TV Talk Show host and one of the forerunners of the Tea Bag Party Movement, Glen Beck, lecture the Church of Jesus Christ concerning Social and Economic Justice.
Glen Beck claimed that social justice was a code word for Communism and Nazism and argued his listeners to leave such churches that preach or practice Social Justice. The comments have caused outrage among many Christian Groups that focus on helping the poor and fighting poverty.
Yet what is more revealing is the number of Christians who choose to have Glen Beck as a repository for truth. This large number of Christians who choose to buy Glen Beck's “Truth” as Bible Truth is what should be alarming, to the point that Glen Beck addresses them and targets his message to them as a viable audience is even more troubling.
The truth of the matter is that Glen Beck cares nothing about the helping the poor, orphans, and widows as the Bible stipulates. Above all, Glen Beck cares nothing about the message of Jesus Christ and nothing about Christianity apart from using it as a launch pad for insinuation and making money thereof. To Glen Beck, his Christian Audience is just another political block. His speech was an overt mockery of the poor.
Secondly, this goes as far as revealing what some American Christians are up to insofar as what their ideology is, that seems to be so contradicting to the Bible Teachings on helping the poor. As soon as Glen Beck preached his sermon to his Christian Congregation, Jerry Falwell Jr, the son of the late Jerry Falwell the political and controversial Pastor and founder of Liberty University rose to the occasion to backup Glen Beck's claims...
“...Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, a Christian college in Virginia, says Jesus wasn't interested in politics. He says that those pastors who preach economic and social justice "are trying to twist the gospel to say the gospel supported socialism." "Jesus taught that we should give to the poor and support widows, but he never said that we should elect a government that would take money from our neighbor's hand and give it to the poor," Falwell says. Falwell says that Jesus believed that individuals, not governments, should help the poor. "If we all did as Jesus did when he helped the poor, we wouldn't need the government," says Falwell, the son of the late evangelical leader, the Rev. Jerry Falwell...” CNN| http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/03/12/beck.boycott/
At first glance Jerry Falwell Jr who seems not to be backing down from his late father's Political Christianity controversies, seems to make a point that Christians should not be forced into helping the poor. However, reading the whole context of his message shows that Jerry Falwell Jr seems to turn political while claiming to uphold that Jesus Christ was not political, and with the troubling similarities of an anarchist 'Tea Bagger' that we don't need government...and that governments have no role in helping the poor. Jerry Falwell Jr engaged in a subtle but yet a strong mockery of the poor. The hypocrisy of the Christian Right shows itself as 'Tea Baggers' seem to be frustrating the agitations of the Christian Religious Right for a Christian Utopia...
“...And while health care legislation has brought social and economic conservatives together to fight government funding of abortion, some social conservative leaders have begun to express concern that tea party leaders don’t care about their issues, while others object to the personal vitriol against President Barack Obama, whose personal conduct many conservative Christians applaud...“People didn’t come out into the streets to protest gay marriage or abortion,” said Steinhauser, who said that he hoped the Republican Party would follow the contract’s cue and “stop bringing up flag-burning amendments and the gay marriage thing when they’re not what people are focused on.”...”
Politico: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/34291.html
Such ideology from a President of a conservative evangelical University is largely troubling and one wonders what type of “Christian” Education students are receiving. In other words what Jerry Falwell Jr is promoting is pure Extreme Capitalism as defined by the radical right of the republican party, that views the poor and weak as enemies of the capitalist system and therefore any help or outcry to help the injustice inflicted by greedy Capitalists is deemed Satanic. This is very disturbing and Jerry Falwell Jr knows better than channeling the talking points of the Religious Right and the Republican Party who have made it a principle to always blame the poor for their predicaments. Ironically if God in the Bible stands for justice for the poor and weak, the Religious Right and Republican Politicians, many who hypocritically claim to be Christians, seem to oppose God in the face.
Yet still even the mere mention of the idea that “we don't need government” is totally unbiblical. The New Testament contains many scriptures that speak about government and that Christians are supposed to pay taxes to these secular governments, an idea that Jerry Falwell Jr would find troubling assuming he has accepted the Religious Right's views and his late father's political Christianity ideologies.
Romans 13:1-7 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. (2) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. (3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: (4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. (5) Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. (6) For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. (7) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Interestingly, Jerry Falwell Jr's late father championed the Political Christian Movement in America and sought a Christian Government and Christian Laws. In other words, as long as Government is “Christian”, exercises Christian Laws, and promotes Extreme Capitalism, then Jerry Falwell Jr would have no trouble with it, it would be deemed Christian even if such a government allowed social and economic injustice.
Mark 12:15-17 KJV Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. (16) And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. (17) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
The governments in the days of Jesus Christ and Paul were not Christian and yet Paul nor Jesus Christ called for no government nor did they subscribe to Anarchism. Therefore Jerry Falwell Jr combines both truth and error to sell his extreme capitalist christian political views that totally contradict scripture.
While it is true that no one should be forced to give or help the poor, yet calling for no government and any form of anarchy is unbiblical and diabolical. There is no doubt that God has instituted governments regardless of if they are favorable to Evangelical Christians or not. Yet still Jerry Falwell Jr knows better that numerous verses in the Old Testament address the issue of Social and Economic Justice especially when it comes to how Governments and the Rich treat the poor.
Yet at the same time Christians and Churches that push for social and economic justice don't go without criticism. Many Churches have forsaken the Gospel in the name of helping the poor and as such only engage in Social issues but not with a Christian Perspective but rather a Secular Perspective...which is no issue but surely becomes a problem when one defines themselves as a Christian NGO and yet cast aside the tenets of the Christian Faith, even in some cases denying The Lord Jesus Christ while claiming to feed the poor in Jesus' Name. It is this group of Christian Churches and organizations, sometimes referred to as Liberal Christians, that the far left political extreme has exploited by turning them political pawns and pushing the left's Political agendas while watering down the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we have it in the New Testament. Therefore the extreme religious right reacts by going political and embracing extreme capitalist ideologies that have largely been responsible for the current global economic crisis. Therefore any Christian Charity group cannot claim to be defined as Christian when Charity is without The Cross.
While it is true that Jesus Christ and His Apostles were not Political yet their Gospel themes did not at anyone time favor the rich but always sought justice for the poor, widows, orphans, down trodden, and the weak of society. Jesus Christ never mandated or forced anyone to care for the poor but it seems that the story of poor Lazarus and the Rich Man seems to depict the current economic disparities between the rich religious right who champion extreme capitalism and the poor...
Luke 16:19-26 KJV There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: (20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, (21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. (22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; (23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. (25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (26) And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
On a much more serious spiritual note, it seems that the economic and social disparity and chasms between the rich and poor is carried on in the afterlife, only this time it is an eternal inverse of the one on earth, and those who support Greed, Extreme Capitalism, and the consistent mocking of the poor had better take heed.

The hypocrisy of the Christian Right shows itself as 'Tea Baggers' seem to be frustrating the agitations of the Christian Religious Right for a Christian Utopia...
“...And while health care legislation has brought social and economic conservatives together to fight government funding of abortion, some social conservative leaders have begun to express concern that tea party leaders don’t care about their issues, while others object to the personal vitriol against President Barack Obama, whose personal conduct many conservative Christians applaud...“People didn’t come out into the streets to protest gay marriage or abortion,” said Steinhauser, who said that he hoped the Republican Party would follow the contract’s cue and “stop bringing up flag-burning amendments and the gay marriage thing when they’re not what people are focused on.”...”
Politico: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/34291.html
Such ideology from a President of a conservative evangelical University is largely troubling and one wonders what type of “Christian” Education students are receiving. In other words what Jerry Falwell Jr is promoting is pure Extreme Capitalism as defined by the radical right of the republican party, that views the poor and weak as enemies of the capitalist system and therefore any help or outcry to help the injustice inflicted by greedy Capitalists is deemed Satanic. This is very disturbing and Jerry Falwell Jr knows better than channeling the talking points of the Religious Right and the Republican Party who have made it a principle to always blame the poor for their predicaments. Ironically if God in the Bible stands for justice for the poor and weak, the Religious Right and Republican Politicians, many who hypocritically claim to be Christians, seem to oppose God in the face.
Yet still even the mere mention of the idea that “we don't need government” is totally unbiblical. The New Testament contains many scriptures that speak about government and that Christians are supposed to pay taxes to these secular governments, an idea that Jerry Falwell Jr would find troubling assuming he has accepted the Religious Right's views and his late father's political Christianity ideologies.
Romans 13:1-7 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. (2) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. (3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: (4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. (5) Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. (6) For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. (7) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Interestingly, Jerry Falwell Jr's late father championed the Political Christian Movement in America and sought a Christian Government and Christian Laws. In other words, as long as Government is “Christian”, exercises Christian Laws, and promotes Extreme Capitalism, then Jerry Falwell Jr would have no trouble with it, it would be deemed Christian even if such a government allowed social and economic injustice.
Mark 12:15-17 KJV Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. (16) And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. (17) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
The governments in the days of Jesus Christ and Paul were not Christian and yet Paul nor Jesus Christ called for no government nor did they subscribe to Anarchism. Therefore Jerry Falwell Jr combines both truth and error to sell his extreme capitalist christian political views that totally contradict scripture.
While it is true that no one should be forced to give or help the poor, yet calling for no government and any form of anarchy is unbiblical and diabolical. There is no doubt that God has instituted governments regardless of if they are favorable to Evangelical Christians or not. Yet still Jerry Falwell Jr knows better that numerous verses in the Old Testament address the issue of Social and Economic Justice especially when it comes to how Governments and the Rich treat the poor.
Yet at the same time Christians and Churches that push for social and economic justice don't go without criticism. Many Churches have forsaken the Gospel in the name of helping the poor and as such only engage in Social issues but not with a Christian Perspective but rather a Secular Perspective...which is no issue but surely becomes a problem when one defines themselves as a Christian NGO and yet cast aside the tenets of the Christian Faith, even in some cases denying The Lord Jesus Christ while claiming to feed the poor in Jesus' Name. It is this group of Christian Churches and organizations, sometimes referred to as Liberal Christians, that the far left political extreme has exploited by turning them political pawns and pushing the left's Political agendas while watering down the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we have it in the New Testament. Therefore the extreme religious right reacts by going political and embracing extreme capitalist ideologies that have largely been responsible for the current global economic crisis. Therefore any Christian Charity group cannot claim to be defined as Christian when Charity is without The Cross.
While it is true that Jesus Christ and His Apostles were not Political yet their Gospel themes did not at anyone time favor the rich but always sought justice for the poor, widows, orphans, down trodden, and the weak of society. Jesus Christ never mandated or forced anyone to care for the poor but it seems that the story of poor Lazarus and the Rich Man seems to depict the current economic disparities between the rich religious right who champion extreme capitalism and the poor...
Luke 16:19-26 KJV There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: (20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, (21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. (22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; (23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. (25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (26) And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
On a much more serious spiritual note, it seems that the economic and social disparity and chasms between the rich and poor is carried on in the afterlife, only this time it is an eternal inverse of the one on earth, and those who support Greed, Extreme Capitalism, and the consistent mocking of the poor had better take heed.

Dark Reality of A Physical Rich Christendom and Spiritual Poverty
Dark Reality of A Physical Rich Christendom and Spiritual Poverty

How can one talk of exponential growth of the Christian population when it is said that 80% believe in Prosperity Gospel in Africa (in fact it is the reason of conversion ) ? How can one talk of the shift of Christendom in numbers to Africa when Western Christianity,the brand that is in Africa has turned the West into an agnostic society ?
Look at the recent Catholic church scandals...minsters have been serving sin and not God yet it is the biggest Christian church ?!! These are days of mourning,Godly sorrow not rejoicing in the success of man made gospel empires.
This irony or oxymoron proves one thing : THINGS ARE AWFULLY WRONG IN CHRISTENDOM AND MANY CHURCHES WHEN MANY THINK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. Yes many churches in Christendom boast of abundant physical riches and money and assets. But poverty abounds in sound doctrine the word of God and the life and example of Jesus Christ and the early church. Yet this poverty leads to eternal destruction and weeping.
Christendom in the past 100 years ( very short time ) has amassed the largest amount of riches more than all the church ages combined. But these riches have not cured the biting spiritual poverty existing therein. The numerous scandals in Christendom are proof of DEEP SPIRITUAL POVERTY AMIDST PLENTY OF PHYSICAL RICHES.
Examples
Catholic Church Physical Riches
Land Property
Banks and Insurance Companies
The Roman Catholic church is an International Political body thanks to the Pope being the Holy See hence has international personality.
Schools and Universities, Seminaries etc
Orphanages and Homes for Disabled.
Radio and Television stations....the list of riches is endless
Recent Signs of Spiritual Poverty in the Catholic Church
Sexual Abuse of Children .... Germany, Kenya, Uganda, USA, Ireland,
False and Heretical Doctrines... Infant Baptism instead of Repent and Believe,Rosary, Easter Christmas.
Spiritual Fornication...Mixing with the world's rich men and politicians making agreements
Anglican/Episcopal /Lutheran/ Baptist..Protestant Church
Land Property
Banks and Insurance Companies
Schools and Universities, Seminaries etc
Orphanages and Homes for Disabled.
Radio and Television stations....the list of riches is also endless
Recent Signs of Spiritual Poverty in the Methodist /Anglican/Episcopal /Lutheran/ Baptist..Protestant Church
Homosexuality and Transgendered ministers
Economic corruption through unjust pricing of services to people
False Doctrines of unscriptural Religious Rites ...some Infant Baptism, others Once Saved always Saved doctrine,..NO REPENTANCE AND ENDURING SOUND DOCTRINE
Ecumenism or unity of churches
Diversion from New Testament Church practices.
Spiritual Fornication...Mixing with the world's rich men and politicians making agreements such as False Peace for Israel or Two State Solution, United Nations partnerships etc.
Evangelical Pentecostal Church ( also some End Time Remnant/Non Denominational churches )Physical Riches
Mega church buildings
Jets, Ships, assets and big profits competing with multinational companies
Pyramid schemes and Micro-finance projects
Radio and Television kingdoms.... raking in millions on millions
Bible Schools and Universities
New York best seller books and gigantic Christian book market.
Big Entertainment industry..or the Church in Holly wood movement..Look at the millions CCM and Gospel music is bringing...DOLLARS NOT REPENTANT SOULS and Bible observing Christians
Spiritual Fornication...Political Lobby groups IN USA AND Israel..Politics of this world cannot solve Israel issue only the Word of God of which Politics of this world is against.... Partnerships with companies and other merchants of the world for money's sake
Recent Signs of Spiritual Poverty in the Evangelical , Pentecostal Church
Many cases of Divorce, Adultery , Sodomy
Grand Theft.... lack of financial accountability
Diverse False Doctrines.... Prosperity Gospel, Political Domionism, False Revivals, Pre Tribulation/Left Behind end time teachings
Divisions and Competition like companies
Spiritual Fornication...Political Lobby groups IN USA AND Israel..Politics of this world cannot solve Israel issue only the Word of God of which Politics of this world is against.... Partnerships with companies and other merchants of the world for money's sake
To add more salt to the wound, these churches call themselves champions of physical poverty,champions of feeding the poor, champions of entertainment industry, International Peace makers
but are Losing the real BATTLE AND WAR OF SIN, THE WORLD AND SATAN. Why ?
The above works are not the works of the Holy Spirit but the works of Satan. Yet through Jesus Christ the works of Satan are destroyed and even if we fall we are more than conquerors overcoming by the word of our testimony (hence mortifying the deeds of the flesh ) and by the blood of the Lamb.
So it seems it is not the Holy Spirit who is teaching Christendom but Satan has taken over Christendom. The riches mentioned are unrighteous mammon and not the spiritual blessings and riches promised to the church first before inheriting the earth at the return of Jesus Christ.
It is sane to say that more money in Christendom actually led to more evil in Christendom and acceleration of apostasy not the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Some Christians are right in saying there is need of a complete overhaul of such powerless Christianity but how can that be when ;
There are more so called Christian denominations/heresies and sects than in Islam, (a false religion)
The number of false doctrines are innumerable and many are killing the spiritual lives of many,taking many to hell.
There are very many different English versions( or perversions ) of the Bible,yet God's word is one and English is one language. Moreover the versions are corrupting the word of God...blasphemy.
There are different interpretations of well explained and open faced scripture yet the scripture is of no private interpretation as Peter the apostle stated. The so called various interpretations exalted in Bible Schools are sign of rejecting the Holy Spirit and proof of private interpretations...APOSTASY.
This is abundant proof that Christendom is one big Babel-dom or home of confusion..a Religious Babylon for God is not the author of Confusion
Jesus truly warned of many Christs, many false prophets many being deceived but also promised that those who endure to the end shall be saved. This is endurance to sound doctrine by doing what the Lord says and abiding in his word no matter the cost.
The call of Jesus Christ is the same to all his flock...REPENT OR PERISH
Luke 13 : 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Rev 3: 17 -19....Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
The above exposure is not denying the fact that Christians battle with the flesh .IT is an exposure of the losing battle in Christendom yet we have victory in Jesus Christ. It is irony to say you have Christ but the works of Satan are what are manifesting from such a testimony. No remorse ,no repentance or grief only excuses,justifications and covering of sin. Today's Christendom is headed for the dead and destruction because God is holy and without holiness no man will see him.
IT is time to return to the whole counsel of God's word back to the basics; there is no excuse..the first church did it ..they worked out their salvation with fear and trembling..so the same goes for all of us in these days where iniquity is abounding.

Hiss of the Serpent: Prophet Patrick Kimera says bible supports polygamy
Translation
I HAVE MANY WIVES- PROPHET KIMERA
http://www.bukeddekussande.co.ug/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=3&newsCategoryId=186&newsId=712800
Pastor Patrick Kimera of End times message gospel church, Wakaliga-Nateete, Kivumbi Zone says that there is no scripture in the bible that supports monogamy. His reiterates as follows.
I’m not a pastor, I’m a prophet of God who received a revelation 30 years ago. I got my revelation three years ago when I went to Pastor Simeon Kayiwa’s church and was told by Pastor John Kibuuka that I had been chosen to preach the word of God.
From that time I started getting many revelations and in one of the revelations God told me to go and preach the gospel on the street which I did.
During the time I have spent in salvation I have discovered that many pastors in all religions are preaching a lot of heresies and one these heresies is marrying one wife.
I have carefully searched the scriptures and discovered that the bible does not forbid us from marrying many wives . It allows us to marry many wives and personally I have many wives.
In 1Kings 11: 1 – 3 Solomon married many wives. He was not rebuked for this. He was only rebuked for marrying foreign women.
1Corithians 7:1-5 says that if a man marries many wives there will be no sexually transmitted diseases because the man will be sleeping only with his wives.
The bible says that when a woman is in her periods you should not sleep with her for 7 days. If you have many wives the woman’s periods will not inconvenience you.
Acts of the Apostles 15:19- 20 says that do not lie with your wife when she is in her periods. God is forbidding us to sleep with women in their periods because this can bring diseases.
When a woman gives birth to a girl child, the man should not sleep with his wife for 40 days and when she gives birth to a baby boy, the bible tells us not to sleep with her for 80 days. I pity you who has one wife.
The church is full of fornicators and adulterers because of this false monogamous teaching. Many youth have the capacity to marry many wives but they are prevented. This forces them to have children outside marriage which annoys God.
The law of God on marriage is, ‘’ the male shall have many females’’. This is clearly manifested in even animals, and birds (DID THIS MAN STUDY KINDERGARTEN SCIENCE???)
According Genesis 25:26 our grand father Abraham married many wives.
Exodus 21:10-11 says that when a man re-married he should not stop providing for his first wife…
In 2 Samuel. 12:7- 12 God says categorically that God gave Saul’s wives to David
The bible does not teach any where that a man can not divorce his wife.
The bible says every male has a herd of females that why a male bee moves with a swarm of females)
God brought the New Testament because he wanted to correct what had gone wrong in the old testament . In the new testament he changed the law which says, ‘’One male for many females ’’ ( DO YOU SEE THE CONTRADITION HERE???)
This monogamy teaching was started by the catholic church after forbidding its priests to marry.
It surprising that some brethren teach that you should not divorce your wife but Matthew 5:31- 32 allows a man to divorce his wife if he catches her in adultery and if he finds out that the woman deceived him that she was a virgin.
1Corithinas 7:10-16 allows divorce but after divorce , the woman should never re-marry . If she wants to re-marry, she must go back to her husband(the one who divorced her).
I have many wives and will continue to marry because the bible tells me so.
Nze nnina bangi- Nabbi Kimera
http://www.bukeddekussande.co.ug/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=3&newsCategoryId=186&newsId=712800

OMUSUMBA Patrick Kimera akulira ekkanisa ya End Time Message Gospel Church e Wakaliga-Nateete mu Kivumbi Zooni agamba tewali Bayibuli w’eyogerera ku kya kuwasa mukazi omu era ye alina bangi.Byonna abirambika bw’ati:
Nze siri musumba wabula nabbi wa Mukama eyabikkulirwa emyaka 30 emabega.
Obubaka bwange obwasookera ddala nabufuna bwe nagenda ew’omusumba Simeon Kayiwa gye nasanga omusumba John Kibuuka n’andaga nga bwe nali nnondeddwa okubuulira ekigambo kya Mukama.
Okuva olwo natandika okwolesebwa ebintu eby’enjawulo era nga n’ekimu ku byo Mukama yandagira ng’ende ku nguudo z’omu Kampala ntandike okubuulira ekigambo.
Mu bbanga lye mmaze mu bulokole, nkizudde nti waliwo ebintu bingi abasumba mu ddiini zonna bye bataputa ekifuulannenge nga mu byo mwe muli n’ekigambo ekikwata ku kuwasa n’okwawukana.
Nsomye Bayibuli ne ngyekkaanya bulungi ne nkizuula nga tewali w’etugambira kuwasa mukazi omu ng’abasumba abalala bwe basomesa wabula etulagira okuwasa abakazi bangi era nze nnina bangi.
1Ssekabaka 11: 1 – 3 Nabbi Sulaiman yawasa abakazi 1000 era talina mu Bayibuli wonna we yali ayogeddwa ng’omwenzi wabula Katonda yamunenya kimu kyokka kya kuzimbira bakatonda ba bakazi be buyumba bwa lubaale.
Mu 1Bakolinso 7:1-5, kirambikiddwa bulungi nti singa omusajja awasa bakazi be abawera, n’endwadde ez’obukaba tezandibaddewo kubanga wandibadde tewali bwenzi ng’omusajja omu atabaalira mu bakazi be yawasa.
Waliwo obudde bw’omukazi okubeera mu nsonga, kino Bayibuli etangira omusajja okumwesembereza okumala ennaku munaana noolwekyo bw’oba n’abakazi abangi oba tokaluubirizibwa.
Ebikolwaby’Abatume. 15:19- 20 ‘Tosembereranga mukaziwo ng’ali mu musaayi. Mu kino Katonda yali atwewaza kugenda mu kikolwa kya kwegatta ng’omukazi ali mu nsonga kubanga kirimu obulwadde.
Waliwo embeera y’omukazi ng’azadde omwana omuwala, Bayibuli etugamba okumwewala okumala ennaku 40 ate bw’aba omulenzi ennaku ezisoba mu 80. kati olwo ggwe munnaffe ow’omukazi omu mba nkusaasidde.
Ekkanisa nnyingi mu kiseera kino zijjuddemu bwenzi lwa njigiriza eno enfu kubanga abavubuka bangi abalina obusobozi okwewasiza abakazi abalala babatangira n’ekivaamu kwenda na kuzaala baana mpolampola ne beerabira nti kino kye kisinga okunyiiza Katonda.
Etteeka lya Katonda ku kigambo ky’okuwasa liri nti “Ekisajja kimu ku bikazi bingi” mu kino n’ensolo, ebinyonyi byonna bizingirwamu. Lubereberye 25:6. Jjajjaffe Ibrahim yawasa abakazi bangi.
Kuva. 21:10- 11, omusajja yenna bw’awasanga omukazi omulala, talemanga okuwa eyasooka emmere, engoye, n’emirimu gy’omu kitanda aba alina okugituukiriza, bw’atakola atyo omukazi addangayo ewaabwe n’atasabaayo bintu.
Samuel. 12:7- 12. Katonda agamba Daudi nti “Nakuwa abakazi ba mukamaawo, Saulo, bonna n’Abayudaaya n’aba Yisirayiri, singa abo babadde tebakumaze, nandikwongedde n’abalala. Mwekyo Katonda yatulaga okwewala obwenzi tuleme okukwata ku bakaabasajja wabula tuwase abo abatalina basajja.
Bayibuli erambika bulungi nnyo ensonga z’obufumbo kubanga n’ekyokugamba nti bwe mufumbiriganwa temulyawukana okutuusa okufa tekirina we kiri wabula obuzibu bwonna buli ku babuulizi ba njiri kutaputa bubi bintu.
Ensonga lwaki Katonda yaleeta endagaano eyookubiri, ng’ayagala okulongoosa ebyo byonna bye yali alabye nga tebitambula bulungi mu ndagaano eyasooka era mu mbeera eno n’ensonga z’obufumbo zaatereezebwa mu ndagaano eyookubiri muno mwe yakyusiriza ekyasooka nti “Ekisajja kimu ku kikazi kimu”.
Bayibuli egamba nti buli kisajja kirina eggana ly’ekikazi era ndowooza olaba enjuki ensajja bw’etambula n’eggana lyayo.
Kye mmanyi kiri nti enjigiriza y’okuwasa omukazi omu yatandikibwawo Klezia ng’emaze okuyisa etteeka ly’Abasumba baabwe obutawasa.

I HAVE MANY WIVES- PROPHET KIMERA
http://www.bukeddekussande.co.ug/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=3&newsCategoryId=186&newsId=712800
Pastor Patrick Kimera of End times message gospel church, Wakaliga-Nateete, Kivumbi Zone says that there is no scripture in the bible that supports monogamy. His reiterates as follows.
I’m not a pastor, I’m a prophet of God who received a revelation 30 years ago. I got my revelation three years ago when I went to Pastor Simeon Kayiwa’s church and was told by Pastor John Kibuuka that I had been chosen to preach the word of God.
From that time I started getting many revelations and in one of the revelations God told me to go and preach the gospel on the street which I did.
During the time I have spent in salvation I have discovered that many pastors in all religions are preaching a lot of heresies and one these heresies is marrying one wife.
I have carefully searched the scriptures and discovered that the bible does not forbid us from marrying many wives . It allows us to marry many wives and personally I have many wives.
In 1Kings 11: 1 – 3 Solomon married many wives. He was not rebuked for this. He was only rebuked for marrying foreign women.
1Corithians 7:1-5 says that if a man marries many wives there will be no sexually transmitted diseases because the man will be sleeping only with his wives.
The bible says that when a woman is in her periods you should not sleep with her for 7 days. If you have many wives the woman’s periods will not inconvenience you.
Acts of the Apostles 15:19- 20 says that do not lie with your wife when she is in her periods. God is forbidding us to sleep with women in their periods because this can bring diseases.
When a woman gives birth to a girl child, the man should not sleep with his wife for 40 days and when she gives birth to a baby boy, the bible tells us not to sleep with her for 80 days. I pity you who has one wife.
The church is full of fornicators and adulterers because of this false monogamous teaching. Many youth have the capacity to marry many wives but they are prevented. This forces them to have children outside marriage which annoys God.
The law of God on marriage is, ‘’ the male shall have many females’’. This is clearly manifested in even animals, and birds (DID THIS MAN STUDY KINDERGARTEN SCIENCE???)
According Genesis 25:26 our grand father Abraham married many wives.
Exodus 21:10-11 says that when a man re-married he should not stop providing for his first wife…
In 2 Samuel. 12:7- 12 God says categorically that God gave Saul’s wives to David
The bible does not teach any where that a man can not divorce his wife.
The bible says every male has a herd of females that why a male bee moves with a swarm of females)
God brought the New Testament because he wanted to correct what had gone wrong in the old testament . In the new testament he changed the law which says, ‘’One male for many females ’’ ( DO YOU SEE THE CONTRADITION HERE???)
This monogamy teaching was started by the catholic church after forbidding its priests to marry.
It surprising that some brethren teach that you should not divorce your wife but Matthew 5:31- 32 allows a man to divorce his wife if he catches her in adultery and if he finds out that the woman deceived him that she was a virgin.
1Corithinas 7:10-16 allows divorce but after divorce , the woman should never re-marry . If she wants to re-marry, she must go back to her husband(the one who divorced her).
I have many wives and will continue to marry because the bible tells me so.
Nze nnina bangi- Nabbi Kimera
http://www.bukeddekussande.co.ug/detail.php?mainNewsCategoryId=3&newsCategoryId=186&newsId=712800
Bya Meddie Musisi
OMUSUMBA Patrick Kimera akulira ekkanisa ya End Time Message Gospel Church e Wakaliga-Nateete mu Kivumbi Zooni agamba tewali Bayibuli w’eyogerera ku kya kuwasa mukazi omu era ye alina bangi.Byonna abirambika bw’ati:
Nze siri musumba wabula nabbi wa Mukama eyabikkulirwa emyaka 30 emabega.
Obubaka bwange obwasookera ddala nabufuna bwe nagenda ew’omusumba Simeon Kayiwa gye nasanga omusumba John Kibuuka n’andaga nga bwe nali nnondeddwa okubuulira ekigambo kya Mukama.
Okuva olwo natandika okwolesebwa ebintu eby’enjawulo era nga n’ekimu ku byo Mukama yandagira ng’ende ku nguudo z’omu Kampala ntandike okubuulira ekigambo.
Mu bbanga lye mmaze mu bulokole, nkizudde nti waliwo ebintu bingi abasumba mu ddiini zonna bye bataputa ekifuulannenge nga mu byo mwe muli n’ekigambo ekikwata ku kuwasa n’okwawukana.
Nsomye Bayibuli ne ngyekkaanya bulungi ne nkizuula nga tewali w’etugambira kuwasa mukazi omu ng’abasumba abalala bwe basomesa wabula etulagira okuwasa abakazi bangi era nze nnina bangi.
1Ssekabaka 11: 1 – 3 Nabbi Sulaiman yawasa abakazi 1000 era talina mu Bayibuli wonna we yali ayogeddwa ng’omwenzi wabula Katonda yamunenya kimu kyokka kya kuzimbira bakatonda ba bakazi be buyumba bwa lubaale.
Mu 1Bakolinso 7:1-5, kirambikiddwa bulungi nti singa omusajja awasa bakazi be abawera, n’endwadde ez’obukaba tezandibaddewo kubanga wandibadde tewali bwenzi ng’omusajja omu atabaalira mu bakazi be yawasa.
Waliwo obudde bw’omukazi okubeera mu nsonga, kino Bayibuli etangira omusajja okumwesembereza okumala ennaku munaana noolwekyo bw’oba n’abakazi abangi oba tokaluubirizibwa.
Ebikolwaby’Abatume. 15:19- 20 ‘Tosembereranga mukaziwo ng’ali mu musaayi. Mu kino Katonda yali atwewaza kugenda mu kikolwa kya kwegatta ng’omukazi ali mu nsonga kubanga kirimu obulwadde.
Waliwo embeera y’omukazi ng’azadde omwana omuwala, Bayibuli etugamba okumwewala okumala ennaku 40 ate bw’aba omulenzi ennaku ezisoba mu 80. kati olwo ggwe munnaffe ow’omukazi omu mba nkusaasidde.
Ekkanisa nnyingi mu kiseera kino zijjuddemu bwenzi lwa njigiriza eno enfu kubanga abavubuka bangi abalina obusobozi okwewasiza abakazi abalala babatangira n’ekivaamu kwenda na kuzaala baana mpolampola ne beerabira nti kino kye kisinga okunyiiza Katonda.
Etteeka lya Katonda ku kigambo ky’okuwasa liri nti “Ekisajja kimu ku bikazi bingi” mu kino n’ensolo, ebinyonyi byonna bizingirwamu. Lubereberye 25:6. Jjajjaffe Ibrahim yawasa abakazi bangi.
Kuva. 21:10- 11, omusajja yenna bw’awasanga omukazi omulala, talemanga okuwa eyasooka emmere, engoye, n’emirimu gy’omu kitanda aba alina okugituukiriza, bw’atakola atyo omukazi addangayo ewaabwe n’atasabaayo bintu.
Samuel. 12:7- 12. Katonda agamba Daudi nti “Nakuwa abakazi ba mukamaawo, Saulo, bonna n’Abayudaaya n’aba Yisirayiri, singa abo babadde tebakumaze, nandikwongedde n’abalala. Mwekyo Katonda yatulaga okwewala obwenzi tuleme okukwata ku bakaabasajja wabula tuwase abo abatalina basajja.
Bayibuli erambika bulungi nnyo ensonga z’obufumbo kubanga n’ekyokugamba nti bwe mufumbiriganwa temulyawukana okutuusa okufa tekirina we kiri wabula obuzibu bwonna buli ku babuulizi ba njiri kutaputa bubi bintu.
Ensonga lwaki Katonda yaleeta endagaano eyookubiri, ng’ayagala okulongoosa ebyo byonna bye yali alabye nga tebitambula bulungi mu ndagaano eyasooka era mu mbeera eno n’ensonga z’obufumbo zaatereezebwa mu ndagaano eyookubiri muno mwe yakyusiriza ekyasooka nti “Ekisajja kimu ku kikazi kimu”.
Bayibuli egamba nti buli kisajja kirina eggana ly’ekikazi era ndowooza olaba enjuki ensajja bw’etambula n’eggana lyayo.
Kye mmanyi kiri nti enjigiriza y’okuwasa omukazi omu yatandikibwawo Klezia ng’emaze okuyisa etteeka ly’Abasumba baabwe obutawasa.
Kyewuunyisa okulaba nga bannaffe abo basomesa nti omukazi tolina kumugoba so nga Matayo 5:31- 32 agamba omusajja anaagobanga mukaziwe olw’obwenzi n’ekirala bw’aba yamulimba nti mbeerera.
1Balokolinso 7:10-16. omukazi n’omusajja basobola okwawukana kyokka omukazi taddangamu okufumbirwa omusajja omulala bw’aba ayagala okufumbirwa addeyo atabagane ne bba.
Nze Kimera nnina abakazi bangi era nkyeyongera okuwasa kubanga Bayibuli bw’endagira.

Digging into the Wall!
Digging into the Wall!
http://www.standingthegap.org/Digging%20into%20the%20Wall.htm
DIG into that Wall and LOOK inside! They are Worshiping false gods and have erected an IMAGE of Jesus that complies with the lust of their flesh. The Preachers appear as Lambs but are Speak the language of the Dragon and they have brought the ENTIRE WORLD under their Deception. The spirit of error is in full control. Pulpits are seething with demonic energy and the people are memorized. There is NO TIME to Waste! Act Now or be swallowed up into the Pit of despair.
“Then He Said to me, Son of Man DIG into the Wall!” Ezk8:8
Over the years I’ve seen many people who recognized something was seriously wrong with the Christian churches. Although none of them could put their finger on the problem, they seemed to know that the Gospel being preached was NOT the Gospel of the Bible. Many along the line have attacked particular doctrines and the Luke warmness of the people. But nothing they have done has made any impact into the massive hypocrisy in the churches. Some have vehemently come out against the false doctrine of eternal security, calling it: ‘Cheap Grace’! They have written large volumes and spent tremendous effort to combat it in debates, with attempts to expose the fallacy to the people of the church.
Still they gain no advantage over the lies. Iniquity abounds and the lies just keep getting worse. Those of us who have Dug Deep into the Wall and SEEN their abominations going on inside the temple, realize that the ENTIRE SYSTEM has gone Corrupt! They not only Preach Lies to the people, promising them LIFE while they remain SLAVES to their Sins! But they Rejoice in their iniquity as though it was True! In ancient times the false teachers would say: ‘No evil shall befall you!’ Jer23:27, ‘The Lord said you shall have Peace! And EVERYONE WALKS according to the imagination of his own heart!”
NOTHING has changed in four thousand years. The people still clamor after the Lies and Believe they are Safe and Secure in God’s hands. They Steal, murder (in their hearts!) commit adultery, (with their eyes as well as bodies) swear falsely, speak abominations and go after false gods. Then Come and Stand before the Lord (in their churches!) and Say ‘We are delivered from our sins in Christ!’ Jeremiah7:7-10. They trust in Lying Words that CANNOT Profit! But to the Pastors in the churches it’s La La Land. They haven’t got a CLUE what’s coming down on their heads. EXACTLY the same attitude Ezekiel and Jeremiah encountered thousands of years ago.
Yet NO ONE inside the System, who THINKS they are combating the hypocrisy, can see the head of the Snake. Collectively they have NEVER seen a real conversion. Mainly because their version of Salvation is based on the same lies they are combating! Bottom line they STILL think a person can be Saved by ‘Receiving’ Jesus or Repeating some words All of Which eliminates real the Repentance Preached by the Apostles, recorded throughout the New Testament. (Acts20:21, 26:18-20, 2Cor7:10-11, Matt3:1, Mk1:15)
Many of these Teachers will even mention that the Bible Does Not support the ‘Receive Jesus’ method but Continue to Preach it as their Salvation message! WHY?
In the System they CANNOT see that their OWN Doctrines have brought about this so-called: Great Falling Away. Problem is the people who have Received Jesus under the lies, Can’t fall away from the faith, BECAUSE they NEVER had Faith to Begin With! That’s why the Preachers remain Deaf, Dumb and Blind to the Real predicament: Which is, ‘EVERYONE IS GETTING SAVED IN THEIR SINS!!!’
The end product is: NO MATTER what the Pastors say about the end times or if they recognize that something is desperately wrong with the Modern Day Christianity, the outcome is always the same. As long as they REFUSE to Revolutionize their method of Gospel Presentation and bring it into line with the Scriptures, AND keep referring to and treating the present day church goers as genuine Christians, NOTHING is going to change. If the People can continue to THINK they are Right with God and Covered by His Grace, they will make NO EFFORT to escape from the corruption of sin and get Clear of their wrong doings. (as the Bible Commands)
What is Required is a COMPLETE Renovation from Present day Churchianity. This would involve a Painful transition in everything they consider the common practice of the churches. In the Acts of the Apostles when the Gospel Message was Preached it brought about either a dramatic conversion of the Masses or a RIOT! (Acts7, 14, 18, 19, 21) Today, with the exception of the emotional based Denominations, the Churches follow a set pattern of ‘Worship’ and Preach only what is pleasing to the ears of the people. They Warn no one, Demand Nothing and make no progress toward the Kingdom. Even those inside the System who SEEM to know that the churches are in an awful state of affairs, will only go so far in exposing the error, because if they step too far over the line they would be EXPOSING Themselves!
Perhaps many of these Teachers stop short of going down the Rabbit Hole of Deception. Because inevitably, when you descend to the bottom of that hole you will come face to face with Satan! Whether its Politics or Religion, he is always lurking in the Shadows pulling the strings and doling out his demonic powers to power hungry minions who have sold their souls for gain. In the Religious realm they cannot openly support doctrines of devils, so they swallow the Red Pill of Deception and convince themselves that the Lies are actually Truth. They then learn to Confirm them in the Bible by ‘Molding’ their words into a fashion or form of godliness, (2Pet2:1-3, 2Tim3:5) that becomes the Strong Delusion few can escape from.
This is why you find such a wide variety of Preachers / Teachers in the Church System, and the reason it’s so easy to be deceived into a FLAVOR of Doctrine that tickles your fancy. Many have escaped the System and separated themselves from its deceptions, and began to Dig into the Rabbit hole for answers, ONLY to be drawn back in by some Slick sounding Preacher who APPEARS to be touching the Truth. But as the Bible so Clearly says: It’s merely ‘Great Swelling Words of Emptiness!’ WHY? Because it is still founded on the LIE! You must FIRST tear down the Strongholds of their lies and that means coming against their precious Doctrines with Full Force. No holds bard!
Just like the Prophets we are up against s SYSTEM of Destruction. DIG into that Wall and LOOK inside! They are Worshiping false gods and have erected an IMAGE of Jesus that complies with the lust of their flesh. The Preachers appear as Lambs but are Speak the language of the Dragon and they have brought the ENTIRE WORLD under their Deception. The spirit of error is in full control. Pulpits are seething with demonic energy and the people are memorized. There is NO TIME to Waste! Act Now or be swallowed up into the Pit of despair.
AVOID like Plague the Counterfeit Patriot movement wrapped in the American Flag and going forth as Soldiers of the Cross to Combat Tyranny on earth. It is FALSE and being used by Satan as another of his many diversions to keep you off the Narrow Way and believing that Striving to establish a Republic is Service to God. The Bible teaches no Such thing and the early Christians never participated in protest.
AVOID also the Multitude of charlatans, phony healers, false signs and wonders and emotion driven non-sense that has no bases in Scripture. Don’t get caught up in their fake revivals believing that you have touched by the Spirit of God. They have NOTHING to do with the TRUTH and the Only spirit among them is the spirit of error. Many of them are already Demon Possessed and very dangerous to befriend.
Always remember what the Apostles warned about the Armor of God and Satan as the Roaring Lion. DO NOT under estimate the Power and Depth of this System to which they have sold their souls.
Keep yourself Clear of the Heaps of Celebrity Preachers, book writers, Seminar speakers, TV personalities, and those puffed up with knowledge. False teachers love to be seen as Bible Scholars with ready answers to every objection, so they can impress you with their great learning. These large Ministries thrive on showmanship and glitter. They have tons of money at their disposal (the wages of unrighteousness!) to broadcast, publish and buy their way into every activity under the sun. That’s what makes them so appealing to the flesh. They offer every vain amusement the people could desire and top it off with a Gospel that has everyone Saved and Covered.
Remember: No Matter What a Preacher may say or how good it Sounds, IF he Believes that a person is Born in Sin hating God, then the Soul MUST be Saved in sin. NO EXCEPTIONS! Every Doctrine that defends this premise ends up at the Bottom of the Rabbit Hole directly from the Mind of Satan himself!
The Battle begins here, NOT in doctrinal debates. You MUST first Expose the fallacy of Original Sin and be able to FULLY Prove by the Word of God that man is NOT Born a Sinner by Nature. He becomes a Slave to Sin BY CHOICE, NOT By Nature. Then the force of habit puts him in Bondage.
Anything you can DO or Say inside the System will be to no Purpose whatsoever, unless you can pull down the Stronghold of this lie (original sin) First and foremost. It is what Supports the entire structure of False Doctrines across every denomination, creed, and all religious practice. As long as the Preachers are fully convinced that man is born a sinner, Christianity will remain a ‘Sinning Religion’ and everyone by Necessity MUST be Saved in Sin. Which means NO ONE is being Saved! That’s a hard pill to swallow, but when you do take it in, Your Eyes will be FULLY Open to the Truth.

Perhaps many of these Teachers stop short of going down the Rabbit Hole of Deception. Because inevitably, when you descend to the bottom of that hole you will come face to face with Satan! Whether its Politics or Religion, he is always lurking in the Shadows pulling the strings and doling out his demonic powers to power hungry minions who have sold their souls for gain. In the Religious realm they cannot openly support doctrines of devils, so they swallow the Red Pill of Deception and convince themselves that the Lies are actually Truth. They then learn to Confirm them in the Bible by ‘Molding’ their words into a fashion or form of godliness, (2Pet2:1-3, 2Tim3:5) that becomes the Strong Delusion few can escape from.
This is why you find such a wide variety of Preachers / Teachers in the Church System, and the reason it’s so easy to be deceived into a FLAVOR of Doctrine that tickles your fancy. Many have escaped the System and separated themselves from its deceptions, and began to Dig into the Rabbit hole for answers, ONLY to be drawn back in by some Slick sounding Preacher who APPEARS to be touching the Truth. But as the Bible so Clearly says: It’s merely ‘Great Swelling Words of Emptiness!’ WHY? Because it is still founded on the LIE! You must FIRST tear down the Strongholds of their lies and that means coming against their precious Doctrines with Full Force. No holds bard!
Just like the Prophets we are up against s SYSTEM of Destruction. DIG into that Wall and LOOK inside! They are Worshiping false gods and have erected an IMAGE of Jesus that complies with the lust of their flesh. The Preachers appear as Lambs but are Speak the language of the Dragon and they have brought the ENTIRE WORLD under their Deception. The spirit of error is in full control. Pulpits are seething with demonic energy and the people are memorized. There is NO TIME to Waste! Act Now or be swallowed up into the Pit of despair.
AVOID like Plague the Counterfeit Patriot movement wrapped in the American Flag and going forth as Soldiers of the Cross to Combat Tyranny on earth. It is FALSE and being used by Satan as another of his many diversions to keep you off the Narrow Way and believing that Striving to establish a Republic is Service to God. The Bible teaches no Such thing and the early Christians never participated in protest.
AVOID also the Multitude of charlatans, phony healers, false signs and wonders and emotion driven non-sense that has no bases in Scripture. Don’t get caught up in their fake revivals believing that you have touched by the Spirit of God. They have NOTHING to do with the TRUTH and the Only spirit among them is the spirit of error. Many of them are already Demon Possessed and very dangerous to befriend.
Always remember what the Apostles warned about the Armor of God and Satan as the Roaring Lion. DO NOT under estimate the Power and Depth of this System to which they have sold their souls.
Keep yourself Clear of the Heaps of Celebrity Preachers, book writers, Seminar speakers, TV personalities, and those puffed up with knowledge. False teachers love to be seen as Bible Scholars with ready answers to every objection, so they can impress you with their great learning. These large Ministries thrive on showmanship and glitter. They have tons of money at their disposal (the wages of unrighteousness!) to broadcast, publish and buy their way into every activity under the sun. That’s what makes them so appealing to the flesh. They offer every vain amusement the people could desire and top it off with a Gospel that has everyone Saved and Covered.
Remember: No Matter What a Preacher may say or how good it Sounds, IF he Believes that a person is Born in Sin hating God, then the Soul MUST be Saved in sin. NO EXCEPTIONS! Every Doctrine that defends this premise ends up at the Bottom of the Rabbit Hole directly from the Mind of Satan himself!
The Battle begins here, NOT in doctrinal debates. You MUST first Expose the fallacy of Original Sin and be able to FULLY Prove by the Word of God that man is NOT Born a Sinner by Nature. He becomes a Slave to Sin BY CHOICE, NOT By Nature. Then the force of habit puts him in Bondage.
Anything you can DO or Say inside the System will be to no Purpose whatsoever, unless you can pull down the Stronghold of this lie (original sin) First and foremost. It is what Supports the entire structure of False Doctrines across every denomination, creed, and all religious practice. As long as the Preachers are fully convinced that man is born a sinner, Christianity will remain a ‘Sinning Religion’ and everyone by Necessity MUST be Saved in Sin. Which means NO ONE is being Saved! That’s a hard pill to swallow, but when you do take it in, Your Eyes will be FULLY Open to the Truth.

Recently while driving my wife to store outside of our town we passed several massively large churches right off the highway that had the appearance of Global Company headquarters. These churches were situated on large plots of land, probably over a hundred acres or more, and decked out with more fan fare to advertise their location than most fast food restaurants. I felt overwhelmed by the sheer scope of these citadels, let alone their enormous size! I imaged the amount of people attending the place and the financial support it must require to maintain such a thing. It made me feel pretty insignificance. A VERY SMALL number of us (brothers & sisters in Christ) battle this onslaught, but against THIS, what could we possible do? How could anyone gain an inroad into deception on this scale? It’s MASSIVE!
I Concluded that Preaching the Lie is an Expensive Undertaking, but it seems to Work very well. And it pays just as well. NO ONE in this System is going to DO ANYTHING to Jeopardize the set up. They are obligated to Keep the people happy, comfortable and coming back for more. No one is going to come if they are made to feel convicted of anything or condemned for their bad behavior. So Gospel MUST be designed in such a way as to accommodate these desires. Sins are Forgiven in advance, Personal behavior doesn’t count, Jesus Obeyed for you and you’re Eternally Secure no matter what! Could anything be better? Have fun, live it up and Don’t worry about it! The Pleasure Palaces you call Churches will hand it to you on a silver platter!
But I’m preaching to the choir, right? NO ONE in the System is going to read any of this, or CARE if they did. They FEAR NOTHING, Especially God. To them He is a big jovial loving being somewhere out there in the vast universe handing out goodies to those who profess belief in His Son Jesus. He makes NO Demands on anyone and bestows His Free Grace on all despite their continued wrong doing. Everyone can feel good about themselves, no one will ever Judge them and the activities keep them busy so no one can focus on the true state of things.
The Preachers who run these Multi-Million dollar country clubs are the greatest con men on earth. Like expert circus performers they motivate and keep everything on a positive note. It’s there job to dance around the Scriptures in the Bible in such a manner that convinces the people they are telling the truth, but also keeps them in the dark and in a state of confusion. Thus they spoon feed them Doctrine, quoting from other famous, celebrity type teachers to add creditability into the mix. The people lap it up like Chicken soup, never questioning anything that is said, lest they be exposed for their own hypocrisy.
Many of these people probably do THINK that the Core Message is really true, that they are forgiven in advance and God can’t see them sinning or doesn’t care that they do. Its COMPLETE Foolishness, based on NOTHING, but it sells very well to the masses and like the Sheep they are, they follow these Preachers to their Doom, wholly unaware that the whole thing is a HUGE LIE. Even if they did Read their Bibles its without discernment. The Preachers tactfully use all the KEY words, like Faith, Repentance, Grace, Not of works and no one is perfect. They basically have the Gospel capsulated down to: ‘Accept, Receive and Trust’ as a Package Plan for Eternal Salvation. The People certainly seem to love it because they respond in droves and like I said, MOST of them Really Believe they are getting SAVED by a God who loves them Just the way they are!
Accordingly the Preachers and leaders in these Clubs have only to adopt the standard of a motivational speaker and a story telling comedian to keep the people happy. Attending these monster churches over the years I’ve noticed that the folks LOVE to hear a good anecdote told by the preacher. And it usually sets the stage well for their little sermonette that follows. Then they will most likely throw in something about continued giving or attending some up-coming seminar about how to donate your estate to the church after you go home to be with Jesus! Everyone walks away all smiles, warm and fuzzy inside, wishing the preacher well and thanking him for giving them such a great message. It’s like Dorothy in the Land of Oz, everything is in LIVING COLOR and the little people are dancing and singing for Joy!
I think of things like: Strong Delusion, the Spirit of Error, Ministers of Satan dressed as Sheep! How they have Traded the Truth of God for a Lie and taken Pleasure in their sins. That God has probably GIVEN they up and over to Reprobated Minds feasting on the lusts of the flesh.
But I’ve Said all these things a thousand times before and shouted them from the roof-tops with our faithful brothers in this Mess. We have written reams of warnings and plastered them all over the web, mailed literally thousands of pastors all over the entire planet. TALKED until we were blue the face with others, only to be written off as heretics, reprobates or devils! It occurs to me that if ANYONE in these Systems was going to hear us or Examine the Word for themselves to escape their delusion, it would be happening already. Bottom Line: THEY SIMPLY DON’T CARE.
The Master told us not to cast our Pearls before Swine and to Shake the dirt off our feet of those who would not Receive our Message with a yielded heart. There is ONLY ONE Option Open for the Modern Day Churches (No Exceptions!) and it Starts with Sack Cloth and Ashes in Bitter and Broken Repentance. Like Nineveh, they would have to SHUT down their operations from top to bottom, get on their faces and Cry Mightily to God for Mercy! But the likelihood of that happening on any grand scale is much the same as what the Lord and His Disciples faced in Judea.
ONE GREATER than ANYONE was there among them, CALLING them to Repentance proven by Deeds. What did they Do? They Called Him the Devil and Killed Him in their ignorance.
A Preacher once told me, ‘All you preach is Repentance, don’t you think you’re overdoing it? The people think you don’t love them!’
You know, a Church surly doesn’t have to be a Million Dollar cathedral to be promoting this Lie. I’ve seen pastors who don’t even collect a pay-check up to their eyeballs in it! They won’t listen to anything else either. I guess for them the same things are at stake if they descent, as for the six figure guys. It’s not a popular notion to become an outcast when the rewards for compromise are so gratifying.
What’s the answer? WHO was the Greatest Preacher? Among ALL the Great Prophets and Holy Apostles the Lord Picked: John The Baptist! WHAT Did he Preach? (hint: it was a pretty simple message!)
REPENTANCE PROVEN BY DEEDS!!!!
He Paved the Way for the rest of us, WHO are willing the COUNT the COST, Take up our Cross and Follow! Our earthly rewards will be nil and perhaps many of use will Die for what we believe, like he did. But, to that preacher, I say: “UNTIL the People DO Repent, I Shall Preach NOTHING Else!”
