This coming November 13, 2022 (1113222) Pope Francis will lead a delegation of “religious” leaders in an outrageous mockery of the Giving of the Law from the hand of GOD to Moses. They have the unmitigated gall, and outrageous audacity to mimic that momentous event by bringing their New Humanity Doctrine and their own 10 Commandments to be handed down to mankind on God’s sacred Mountain!

When Moses first found himself at the foot of Mt. Sinai that mountain was considered by all the people in the area as the “Mountain of GOD”. They frequently saw the smoke and fire rising up and heard the rumblings that signaled God’s presence there. When Moses found the courage to ascend to the Mountaintop, He was warned by GOD of the sacredness of that ground. Moses witnessed the hand of GOD writing the Commandments on the Stone Tablets. How awesome that must have been. Mt. Sinai and the Ten Commandments received there deserve, no demand respect and reverence. That time of intimate exchange with the MAKER OF ALL THINGS that occurred at that mountain between the Hebrew people and the Creator has enormous significance not only for Jews/Hebrews but for all of humanity.

For Our Sin of Emissions: 10+1 Climate Commandments

Aug 25, 2022 When religious leaders of all faiths ascend Mount Sinai on Nov. 13, during COP27, they will seek to touch the heart of humanity and deliver a prophetic message. Sinai power worked once before to fuel moral revolutions; it must work again. To keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century, we need a miracle.

“Returning to Mt. Sinai” — A Prophetic Call for Climate Justice and Ceremony of Repentance

They are calling it a Ceremony of Repentance, but I assure you they are not crying out to God for mercy and praying that HIS will be done in the Earth. There is nothing of Jesus Christ in this movement. These people don’t care what God has to say. They don’t even believe in GOD the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

Sunday, November 13th, 2022, Mount Sinai In parallel with the COP 27 UN Climate Conference

Between November 6th and 18th, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society. The knowledge of what changes are critically needed to diminish long-term harm to the planet is readily available. However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart and the ensuing changes of attitude.

To support, challenge and inspire discussions during COP 27 at Sharm El Sheikh, a weekend event will be held at Mount Sinai that will be heart-stirring, transformative and a moment of inspiration for religious communities and for humanity. Never before has such an interreligious Climate Repentance Ceremony been undertaken. From this moment and event, motivation for action emerges, calling for reexamination of deep-seated attitudes and for identifying ways to transform these attitudes for the wellbeing of Earth, our common home.

Over the weekend of November 12th-13th, few official discussions or activities are planned at COP 27. This provides a major moment when the attention of media and participants can be turned to interreligious climate messaging and a transformative vision. On Sunday, November 13^th, religious leaders will ‘return’ on Mount Sinai, a mountain whose memory and meaning loom large as a place of revelation in the collective consciousness of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and others. As an ancient sacred space, it was the site of prophetic experience, and receiving God’s message, for the prophets Moses and Elijah in all three Abrahamic traditions, and the prophet Muhammed in the Muslim tradition. It therefore serves as an ideal location to remind humanity of our sacred responsibility to care for God’s creation.

Donate to Support this Project We come to Sinai in a movement of repentance and quest. We seek a new vision for humanity and its endangered existence, and we seek to receive and amplify a message of life-sustaining living and habits that humanity needs to hear today. In this spirit, the project partners will bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to gather upon Mount Sinai to engage in a first ever Climate Repentance Ceremony, and to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “Climate Justice: Ten Universal Commandments.”

The call’s originality in compiling the finest teachings of all religions in support of climate justice draws inspiration from the great prophetic figures associated with Mount Sinai. Teachings and spiritual ideals will be highlighted, in order to help religious communities and humanity at large open their hearts to change for our collective survival. The ceremony will draw from liturgies, readings and the musical traditions of diverse religions. The event will incorporate concrete examples of how religious communities are actively meeting the climate challenge, and feature concrete initiatives that translate the broader spiritual practices into action.

Goals of the Event

Inspire and unleash the power of religions, religious leaders and faith communities as change agents for climate action and as sources for inspiring and motivating discussions among politicians and civil bodies.
Motivate action among religious communities and the wider public to curb climate change.
Invite media to cover religious leaders’ advocacy in combating climate change.
Promote a coalition of religious leaders to work together for climate action.

Generate new faith-inspired climate education materials for broad use.

Who: This is an event delivered by world religious leaders. At its core is the work of the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders, an active community of high-level religious leaders. The project partners also seek to involve celebrities who have a track record of climate advocacy.

Follow Up and Outreach:

Following the Sinai event, we intend to launch a series of educational initiatives that will flow from it. We envision two tracks of continuing dissemination and legacy for the project.

1. The event, its preparation, and the stages of its unfolding will be filmed and made part of a documentary. Social media will be employed heavily to disseminate the event in real-time. (to spread the propaganda)

2. The materials produced by religious leaders participating in the event will be converted into study materials, that will serve the religious communities and the community of climate activists, in special seminars and ongoing teaching situations.

Founding Partners: The event will be coordinated by a coalition of organizations:

The Elijah Interfaith Institute and its Board of World Religious Leaders brings together some of the world’s most prominent religious figures from Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and the Religions of India. Elijah Interfaith Institute is a nonprofit, international, UNESCO-sponsored interfaith organization which was founded by Rabbi Alon Goshen-Gottstein in 1997.Wikipedia
The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development reveals the connection between religion and ecology and mobilizes people to act. The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development, is a nonprofit organization, founded and directed by Rabbi Yonatan Neril in 2010. Based in Jerusalem., the ICSD promotes what they perceive as the connection between religion and ecology and mobilizes faith communities to act. ICSD manifests these goals primarily through five projects. Wikipedia
The Peace Department is a US non-profit designed to solve global coordination failures by making philanthropy and impact investing effective and scalable. The Peace Department: a global non-profit with a mission to marshal and accelerate the mobilization of resources required to set communities, and the planet as a whole, toward Net-Zero future and global socioeconomic justice. As a new kind of non-profit, designed to solve global coordination failures to make philanthropy and impact investing effective and scalable. We are revolutionizing how sustainable development is done.

Climate activist Yosef Abramowitz serves as special advisor to the initiative.

Yosef Abramowitz is an Israeli-American environmentalist, president and CEO of Energiya Global Capital (Energiya – giya is just another way to spell GIA the Earth Goddess. So, this man worships EARTH.)
as well as co-founder of the Arava Power Company.Wikipedia

In Sanskrit origin the meaning of name Arava is : Silent; Calm; Noiseless (as in secret, hidden, Occult);
Modern Hebrew name meaning both “willow tree” and “desert” or “savanna, prairie”. Traditionally the ערבה (aravah), a leafy willow branch, is used in a waving ceremony during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. In Israel the name also refers to a geographical plain near the Jordan, appearing in Deuteronomy 3, 17 as Arabah. (Interestingly, the Hebrew word arabha “desert” may ultimately relate to English Arab.)

Other Important Partners: The UN Environment Program’s Faith for Earth Initiative works to strategically engage with faith-based organizations and partner with them to collectively achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and fulfill the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. Feb 18, 2022 UNEP’s Faith for Earth Initiative has organized the Faith for Earth Dialogue, The goal is to demonstrate “the power and potential of faith-based organizations and faith leaders in shaping the discussions at UNEA (United Nations Environment Assembly) as well as engaging in policy dialogue with other stakeholders.” (You know the stakeholders are not the common people. The stakeholders are those billionaires who have all the money invested in the future THEY DESIRE. The UNEA’s stake in this initiative is to keep their existence relevant and keep the money flowing in.)

On May 4, 2020, UNEP’s Faith for Earth Initiative and the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology agreed to unite efforts by drawing on UNEP’s extensive knowledge of ecological issues and the Forum’s comprehensive website on the world’s religions.

As Iyad Abumoghli, the UN Principal Coordinator of Faith for Earth Initiative, wrote: “I have had several very constructive and fruitful meetings during the Abrahamic Traditions and Environmental Change Workshop that was held June 23-26 (6 2×3 – 2×6 or 6 18 or 6 9 or 6 13) in Rhodes, Greece. Faith for Earth has agreed with the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology to unite efforts and strengthen one knowledge platform building on the vast and extensive work of the Forum over the past two decades.”

I. INFORMATION

A New Ecumenical Order with Links to the United Nations and the World Council of Churches

The Order of the Transfiguration is an ecumenical religious order in the catholic Christian tradition, affiliated with the International Council of Community Churches, a member-church of the National Council of Churches, USA and the World Council of Churches, Geneva. In corporate status the Order of the Transfiguration is part of the Interfaith Studies Division of the Institute of Integral Human Sciences, a non-governmental organization (NGO) affiliated with the United Nations.

An Ecumenical Membership with Interfaith Perspectives

The membership of the Order includes both clergy and lay men and women, married, single, and celibate, from many Christian traditions, including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Old Catholic, and Protestant (They do not identify what “Protestant” individuals or groups might be involved.). There is also an affiliate-membership of persons from the other world religions, East & West, and new religious and spiritual movements. (They are also very careful not to name any of these “others”, for fear that you might get enlightened. They can’t have the truth uncovered.)

A New Movement in Global Christian Spirituality (they throw the word CHRIST and Christianity around a lot. This is to keep the masses subdued by thinking that they are somehow connected to the true Faith in the Living GOD and His Precious Son or Messiah/Christ; YESUA/JESUS. But, CHRIST is only a word, a title NOT HIS NAME. Therefore, it can be applied in any way they choose. It can even be applied to the ANTI-CHRIST the comming anointed false savior and agent/son of Satan/the Deceiver/the Adversary.)

What Does Christ Mean? Christ comes from Christos, a Greek word that means “the anointed one,” or “the chosen one.” The Hebrew word meaning the same thing is Mashiach, or as we know it— Messiah. So Christ is really more a title than it is a name

The Order of the Transfiguration stands at the forefront of a new movement in Christian spirituality for those with global perspectives who desire to combine the personal commitment of “…a faith in the living Christ and His Mystical Body, the Church…” (Here they are referring to the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH which is the ONLY CHURCH THE ROMAN CATHOLICS recognize. As they refer to IT as the ONE, HOLY and APOSTALIC Church, which is neither one, or Holy, or Centered on Jesus Christ/Yeshuah HaMaschiah) with an intelligent and responsible study of the world’s religions & cultures, East & West, and those common forms of transformative human mystical & psychical experience which gave rise to faith in a Transcendent Order and conversation in one’s life and values.

Transcendentalists saw divine experience inherent in the everyday, rather than believing in a distant heaven. Transcendentalists saw physical and spiritual phenomena as part of dynamic processes rather than discrete entities. The doctrine of the Unitarian church as taught at Harvard Divinity School was closely related.

An Exploration in Search of God’s Activity in the Other World Religions & Cultures

As a contribution to inter-religious understanding and world peace, persons in the catholic, protestant & orthodox Christian traditions have formed an ecumenical religious order with interfaith perspectives …linked with teachers and groups… from the other great religious traditions of the world ’united in the common quest for universal human values, East & West through personal study and transformative spiritual experience.

Is Western civilization ready to sustain such an achievement at this stage of its spiritual evolution? Yes! Many religious people today are ready to work together for tolerance and understanding of one another for world peace. In today’s Global Village we can indeed meet in the spirit of equality, and respect for the wisdom that has been delivered to prophets, saints, sages and masters of all traditions. We are ready to work together for our transformation into a “New Humanity” and the restructuring of the planet.

You are invited to join this great undertaking as part of a work of spiritual “perestroika,” (perestroika Origin & history: Russian ‎ (restructuring) East & West, for a new “people of god” and a more authentic and humane “new world order” in the 21st century!

A Rule of Life for the Modern World

We are self-supporting Men and Women … Married and Single … living separately or together in communities … from all races and religious backgrounds … dedicated to a New Humanity and a New World Order. Personal vows are formulated by each member in consultation with a spiritual advisor (shaman/teacher/master/guide). Each member follows the sacramental & theological commitments of his or her tradition.

vow [ vou ] noun
a solemn promise, pledge, or personal commitment:marriage vows; a vow of secrecy.
a solemn promise made to a deity or saint committing oneself to an act, service, or condition
verb (used with object)
to make a vow of; promise by a vow, as to God or a saint:to vow a crusade or a pilgrimage.to pledge or resolve solemnly to do, make, give, observe, etc.:They vowed revenge
verb (used without object)
to make a vow.
to make a solemn or earnest declaration.

HERE IS WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT VOWS:

Matthew 5:34-37 But I say to you, do not take oaths at all—not by heaven, because it is the throne of God, not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. Do not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. Let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.

James 5:12 And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your “Yes” be yes and your “No” be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.

A Bridge Between the Holy Catholic Church of Christ and His “Sheep of Other Folds”

The Order of the Transfiguration has been formed as a Bridge between the One, Holy, Catholic, & Apostolic Church, the Mystical Body of Christ… and the World’s Religions, East & West, and New Religious & Spiritual Movements & Groups. In the Order, both Christians and persons formally outside of the Christian tradition — who may never-the-less be viewed as members of the “Mystical Body or Christ” by virtue of the “Indwelling Logos” — may realize their full integration as spiritual participants through: (1) celebrating and/or studying the Word & Sacraments in the Christian Mysteries, (2) exploring of Wisdom traditions in the World’s Religions and Cultures, and (3) personal forms of spiritual and psychic development achieved through the practice of meditation and other forms of ancient and modern spiritual sciences, East & West. (I have never heard of a bigger batch of senseless MUMBO JUMBO in my LIFE!)

An East-West Global Spiritual Network

A new East-West network of existing spiritual groups has been brought together in a common purpose. Associate religious from other Christian religious communities, and invited leaders from other World Religious Traditions may participate in the vision, ideals, works, and fellowship of the Order and it’s objectives.

II. PROFESSIONAL PURSUITS AND SPIRITUAL OBJECTIVES

The “New Monastics” of the Order of the Transfiguration are professionals and others from various religious backgrounds — living either alone, with their families, or together in communities — and working toward the common objective of a “New Humanity in Christ.” (What Christ? Whose Christ? and just what does CHRIST mean to them? Certainly not saving grace by virtue of the Shed Blood of the ONE and ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF THE TRUE AND LIVING CREATOR!)

The Study of Ancient Systems of Human Spirituality & Wisdom

To this end many members of the Order are actively involved in the study of ancient systems of human spirituality and wisdom, and the various typologies of human spiritual and psychic experience, for the light that such studies may shed on the rich heritage of catholic Christian tradition.

The New Sciences of Consciousness & Healing

At the same time — and as a corollary to their vocation to implement the Father’s will on the earth “…as it is in Heaven” — many members of the Order are also actively engaged in the exploration and development of new sciences of consciousness, intuition, creativity, and healing, and in the pursuit of new paradigms for the reconciliation of science and spirituality, East & West, for the establishment of universal human values in today’s global village. (Well we have heard the Roman Catholic Church state that they worship LUCIFER the Light Bearer and his Son. So we know that they are not worshipping the God of the Bible, or recognizing Yeshua HaMashiah as THE Way, THE TRUTH, and THE LIGHT!)

The Recovery of a Sense of the Transcendent in Human Life

Members of the Order of the Transfiguration believe that a serious and systematic study of such subjects is essential to the future of Faith in God, Christ, and the existence of those higher, invisible orders of reality which interact with human beings for their ultimate transformation into a new species on this planet. The Order of the Transfiguration is founded upon the belief that modern secular culture has lost touch with the inner psychic and spiritual dimensions through which the action of the formation-in-Christ, promised in the Christian scriptures, must occur. It is for this reason that this new Order has been founded. (The other orders their reference here who “interact with human beings” are the FALLEN ANGELS/DEMONIC SPIRITS who have returned to rule once again over the pagans of earth. The majority of people across the Earth have turned away from the saving Grace of God and are returning to the worship of demonic entities. These are the same entities that ruled the earth prior to the sacrifice at Calvary! The ones the pagans served as gods. The Roman Catholic Church NEVER STOPPED worshipping the Roman gods!)

The Convergence of Human Potentials with “The Mysteries of Redemption”

The Order believes that we must each develop an intuitive awareness of the multi-dimensional Divine Reality which surrounds, encompasses and interacts with our world and gives it its truest and highest meaning and purpose. (I am telling you, they want you to worship the demonic entities as gods!) The Order of the Transfiguration also believes that the modern Church cuts itself off from the greatest foundational experiences of the apostles and prophets reflected in its own scripture and tradition, as follows: visions; apparitions; post-mortem contacts with the dead saints; invocation of saints & angels; prophecies; healings; the on-going processes of personal revelations among saints and mystics in the history of Christianity and the other world religions, ancient and modern; the nature and uses of ritual and sacramentals, liturgy, and Eucharistic action as effective instruments of the “Mysteries of Redemption.” (The Roman Catholic Church, used continued to worship the old Roman gods, they just changed their names to SAINTS. Often they kept the same statues and even the same Temples for the veneration and adoration of the “SAINTS”, and their “sacraments” are pagan practices used to honor the pagan gods.)

Restoring “The Gifts of the Spirit”

In the Christian tradition one should understand the place and role of the “gifts of the Spirit,” particularly prophecy, inspirational teaching, and healing, in the life of those who are living “the Resurrection life” of the “New Being.”

III. THE HISTORY & THEOLOGICAL RATIONALE OF THE ORDER

The Order of the Transfiguration was founded at a special ceremony held on the Feast of Saint Thomas, Apostle of India, on December 21, 1988 (12 21 88) in Corinth, Greece, by Father John Rossner, an Anglican priest and a professor of comparative religion & culture at Concordia University in Montreal.

Learn more about Concordia at the following post:

Do You Believe In Magick? Part 12 – Gnosticism

The founding ceremonies were held in the ruins of the market-place at ancient Corinth where St, Paul taught the Corinthians. The sire is marked by an inscription in Greek and in English; “I reckon that the tribulations of the present time are as nothing when compared to the Glory that shall be revealed in us.”

The Mystery of the Transfiguration

The site – with this inscription – was symbolically appropriate, for the Order celebrates the mystery of the Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor as an outward and visible sign of the Divine Plan for our own ultimate transformation into “New Beings in Christ,” and for a “New Humanity in a New World Order.”

A Cosmic Plan for Human & Planetary Transformation

Out of the ruins of the “old humanity” and the “old world order” – in both his and our present world epoch – there is a Cosmic Plan described by St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians, nineteen centuries ago… for the ultimate spiritual transformation of the human race and the planet itself.

The Cosmos: Wisdom in the Stars – Trippin

The Cosmos: Wisdom in the Stars “The senses are like the interpretes of sensations that allow our souls to express our physicality and material existence. And when we begin to tune into the senses in greater detail, we just get back in touch with this deeper resonance that we have within us, this animal spirit, which brings us more to life.”

Cosmos and the Universe
Cosmos often simply means “universe”. But the word is generally used to suggest an orderly or harmonious universe, as it was originally used by Pythagoras in the 6th century B.C. Thus, a religious mystic may help put us in touch with the cosmos, and so may a physicist. The same is often true of the adjective cosmic: Cosmic rays (really particles rather than rays) bombard us from outer space, but cosmic questions come from human attempts to find order in the universe. Source

Cosmos – Wikipedia
The cosmos (UK: / ˈ k ɒ z m ɒ s /, US: /-m oʊ s /) is another name for the Universe. Using the word cosmos implies viewing the universe as a complex and orderly system or entity.. The cosmos, and understandings of the reasons for its existence and significance, are studied in cosmology – a broad discipline covering scientific, religious or philosophical aspects of the cosmos and its nature.

The Hope of Saints in Many Traditions

Faith in the reality of God, of the Cosmic Christ, and in the existence of such a Divine Plan working itself out in our lives, in nature, and in history, has given inspiration, strength, courage, and hope to countless generations of Christian saints, ordinary people, as well as persons from other great world religions in this and past centuries, who have worked to change the world “from the darkness to the Light” through acts of love, forgiveness, and compassion, and the performance of intelligent forms of social action for the upliftment of humanity rendered in the marketplaces of life. (No actions or works on the part of humans will EVER change the world from darkness to light. ONLY the power of GOD can do that. Only the Holy Spirit working in each person can change anything or anyone. The only way to get the HOLY SPIRIT living inside of you is to apply the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST/Yeshua HaMaschiah. Sure we can make a moment of light and love… but nothing that lasts. ONLY GOD can CHANGE things, circumstances or People permanently! Every effort and accomplishment made by human strength and/or wisdom fades, falls, and is extinguished!)

You Are Invited to Participate in the Spiritual Work of the Order

The motto of the Order of the Transfiguration is “The New Monastics for a New Humanity.” The principal mission of the Order is to assist in the Divine Plan for the recreation of the human race and the planet-earth, which was – for Christians – prefigured in the event known as “the Transfiguration” of Jesus Christ.

Transformation into the New Being

To participate intentionally in the Divine process by which grace transforms us and the world around us into “New Beings in Christ” is to participate in the true quest for the recovery by both the Church and Society of an understanding of “the Cosmic Christ and the Primordial Tradition.” The reintegration of the inner spiritual and psychic lives of human beings with the outer material world, and the transformation of both by the mind of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit is our goal.

The Primordial Tradition
seeks to establish a fundamental origin of religious belief in all authentic religious teachings, adhering to the principle that universal truths are a cross-cultural phenomenon and transcendent of their respective traditions, mythologies, and religious beliefs.

Though we all come from the same beginning, the fall of man and the continued sin that resulted took humanity far from the source. Humanity came under the jurisdiction of the fallen angels who ruled over them and whom they worshiped as gods. The further away from the beginning the world got, time wise, the more humanity forgot GOD. Yes, there are inherent in all of us some latent sense of God’s laws, but without the Holy Spirit to lead us to truth, NO ONE can find his way.

The Cosmic Christ or the Universal Christ is a false concept of Christ being mystically in all things. The emphasis that comes from the Cosmic Christ concept is a deification of the cosmos. Rocks, trees, oceans, and all other parts of the cosmos are considered to be divine. In this way, the Cosmic Christ is close to pantheism, the idea that God is all things. Source

Advocates of the Cosmic Christ idea do not view the creation as being in bondage to brokenness and sin as a result of the fall (Genesis 3); rather, they believe that, in connecting with the Cosmic Christ, one will see the value and beauty in all things. Mankind itself is beautiful and wonderful because Christ is in all things. Embracing the Universal Christ concept leads to an over-emphasis on Christ sustaining and being in all things and to a de-emphasis of the brokenness of all things and the sin of mankind. Advocates of the Cosmic Christ see Christ as manifested in other religions, just in different terms and persons. Thus, the biblical gospel and the need for forgiveness are disregarded. Source

The concept of the Cosmic or Universal Christ is a profound misunderstanding of the biblical view of Christ. It emphasizes the oneness of all things. The entire cosmos is good and beautiful. Sin and brokenness are not a problem. Christ is simply present and sustaining all things, but He is not the judge of all things and preeminent over all creation. Forgiveness is not needed. The man Jesus Christ is not the exclusive Savior, but Christ is present and working in all religions, just under different names.
The concept of the Cosmic Christ or Universal Christ is unbiblical and is in no sense compatible with a Christian worldview. Source

Adherence to this philosophy leaves one at the mercy of the demonic entities who want to see the destruction of the world and the end of humanity. Without the redemption that comes from relationship with God through the acceptance of the sacrifice of His Son on the Cross, consumption by fire is the fate of the Earth and the eternal fires of HELL are waiting for ALL WHO ARE NOT UNDER THE BLOOD!

Rediscovering the Resurrection Life

Consequently the Order of the Transfiguration is dedicated to the rediscovery by persons today of the profound mystical, psychical, and spiritual experiences of the Resurrected Christ, “the mystery of Christ in us,” and of the Communion of the Saints, which gave birth to Christianity as a world-religion and as a great force for personal transformation and social change in the world. (Yes, Christianity is meant for the whole world, and we as Christians are called to labor in the field to bring all who will to the Cross. It is sad that all the thousands of years Christians spent to bring the WORLD to the KNOWLEDGE of Christ, is lost on a world hellbent on rebellion.)

The Charism of the Order

This charism (charism:: an extraordinary power (as of healing) given a Christian by the Holy Spirit for the good of the church) will be performed in the light of the acquisition of knowledge from recent discoveries in the new sciences of consciousness and healing, as well as from the standpoint of a familiarity with – and openness to – the important truths that God has revealed to humanity through the other great religions and cultures of the world. (The Power of the Holy Spirit is not available to anyone without the blood of Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMaschiah and there is no other power that can do the work of the Holy Spirit. Now, there are counterfeit wonders that can come from the Fallen Angels. But, they are only deception.)

“On Earth as in Heaven”

The solemn mandate of Our Lord that we should pray daily that the Father’s will might be done “… on earth, as it is in heaven” cannot be fulfilled easily by those who have forgotten or lost the intuitive perception that “heaven is real, and closer than we think.” The faith-knowledge that we are surrounded by guarding angels and guiding saints in the invisible portion of the “cosmic sea” of the great “Uncreated Light” that surrounds our inner and outer worlds is essential to the rediscovery of “The Cosmic Christ and the Primordial Tradition.” (NOWHERE in the WORD OF GOD are we told that “Saints” guide us. We are to be guided by the HOLY SPIRIT who leads us, guides us, reveals ALL truth to us, comforts us and EMPOWERS us. Yes, we are surrounded by holy angels that guard and protect us. But we are also surrounded by demonic spirits that lie to us and lead us astray.)

The Development of a New Curriculum for Catholic Christian Formation

It is to the study and integration of such subjects into a new curriculum for catholic Christian formation that the Order of the Transfiguration is dedicated as a “mid-wife” of a New Humanity in a New World Order.

The Order believes that the future spiritual evolution of humankind according to the Divine Plan, unfolded in progressive revelation of Old & New Testament experience – and reflected in wisdom traditions in the world’s religions – includes the awakening, purification, and illumination of the individual and collective consciousness of humanity, the “initiatory death and rebirth” (Now, what kind of hogwash is that? Obviously, nothing at based on the TRUTH of the WORD OF GOD. There is nothing in the scriptures about a “new humanity” nor does the Bible talk about initiatory death. Or any other kind of initiation. Nor does the bible talk about illumination. The only purification the scripture speaks of is the purification that comes with the blood of Jesus that washes away every sin, stain and wrinkle or the purification by the fire of the Holy Spirit.)

We have not even discussed all the extreme differences between the Faith in the God of the Bible and all the pagan religions of the world. There is no way to reconcile these. Most pagan religions are based on man’s labor to redeem himself. Which is impossible and totally the opposite of what the scriptures teach us. And many pagan religions are based on communication with spirits. The only spirit with whom we should be communicating is the SPIRIT OF GOD. Occasionally, God may send an Angel with a specific message about a specific situation, but that happens extremely rarely. It is so rare that most people will never experience it. Sometimes, we have an interaction with an Angel, but we don’t even know it was an Angel. The Bible says it is possible to entertain Angels unaware. Why, because GOD does not want us seeking communion with SPIRITS!! But, many pagan religion are all about seeking input from the spirit realm and conjuring spirits.

Our faith in the Creator and His Only Begotten Son is so distant and distinct from ALL other religions, it is IMPOSSIBLE for us to come into agreement. Now, can we coexist as in occupy the same planet yes, we certainly can. At least from the standpoint of a true Bible Believer. We have no quarrel with anyone. As long as we are free to Worship God according to His word we are happy. True servants of God do not try to force their will, their lifestyle or their belief on anyone. We only witness what we know of GOD in effort to help others to find TRUTH.

Can all world religions coexist? Does it matter what you believe? Does your belief make it true? Imagine having to jump from an airplane that was about to crash. If you had three possible items to strap to your back, which would you choose: a tire, a briefcase full of money, or a parachute? There is only one right answer that can save your life. This is why all religions can not coexist. They each give different ideas about God, but only one is true! Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) He made an exclusive claim. Either it is true or it is not. Source

Two generations, one prophetic call for climate justice

April 25, 2019
By Tomás Insua
National Catholic Reporter

Two climate superheroes, Pope Francis and Greta Thunberg, have just met for the first time in the Vatican. The April 17 meeting was something rare — an encounter between two prophets whose moral clarity will lead us out of the climate crisis.

(Seriously?? These two people are the craziest people I have EVER seen. Certainly the world recognizes that NO ONE should look to either of these two for ANY Guidance, ESPECIALLY MORAL GUIDANCE!)

I was blessed to participate in that conversation. As the Argentine pontiff and the Swedish activist shook hands, I was struck by the similarities they share above their obvious differences.

Between November 6 – 18, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

The link of the article can be found at: https://interfaithsustain.com/returning-to-mt-sinai/

Religious leaders from all over the world will gather at this most precious place, Mount Sinai, in a “movement of repentance and quest”. The world’s religious leaders who reject the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and as the Messiah, are seeking “…a new vision for humanity and its endangered existence, and we seek to receive and amplify a message of life-sustaining living and habits that humanity needs to hear today. In this spirit, the project partners will bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to gather upon Mount Sinai to engage in a first ever Climate Repentance Ceremony, and to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “Climate Justice: Ten Universal Commandments.”

Climate justice: ten universal commandments?

There’s NO climate emergency according to the following studies:

This is yet another attempt by the Vatican to move the world to embrace climate change so that once the world approves climate change, the Vatican papacy will enforce its mark of SUNday rest and worship as part of their one world religion, false system of sun Baal worship, which goes against the true worship of God in Revelation 14:7.

Time to leave Babylon as per God’s admonition in Revelation 18:4-5.

A FALSE ELIJAH CALL FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE AND REPENTANCE AT SINAI ON SUNDAY 13TH NOVEMBER – A DECEPTIVE ECUMENICAL GATHERING IN SUPPORT OF THE VATICAN’S COP 27 CLIMATE CONFERENCE

NEWS UPDATE – 11th September 2022

In support of the upcoming United Nations COP 27 Climate Conference in November at the Sinai Peninsula, a number of interfaith groups containing various Christian and religious leaders are gathering at Mount Sinai for what is called a ‘Prophetic Call for Climate Justice and Ceremony of Repentance.’

“To support, challenge and inspire discussions during COP 27 at Sharm El Sheikh, a weekend event will be held at Mount Sinai that will be heart-stirring, transformative and a moment of inspiration for religious communities and for humanity. Never before has such an interreligious Climate Repentance Ceremony been undertaken … On Sunday, November 13th, religious leaders will return to Mount Sinai, a mountain whose memory and meaning loom large as a place of revelation in the collective consciousness of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and others. It is a site for turning to God and receiving God’s message … and to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: Climate Justice: Ten Universal Commandments.“ (source)

At the forefront of this gathering is a group called ‘The Elijah Inferfaith Institute’, who say on their ‘about’ page … “The spirit of Elijah is wisdom, inspiration, friendship and hope across religious traditions. Elijah deepens understanding among religions. Elijah’s mission is to foster unity in diversity, creating a harmonious world.” (source).

Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. 16And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

The Great Day of the Lord

1For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

REALLY? Would you see Elijah proudly standing with the messengers of Baal, trying to find some ‘common ground’ with them and building ‘understanding’ and ‘unity’ with them? Would you see Elijah participate in joint-worship services offered to Jehovah, Molech, Dagon, Marduk, Tammuz, Ashtoreth and Baal? Not a chance! Elijah had a straight message from the Lord to give – “Ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and thou hast followed Baalim.”

Is Jehovah going to answer their ‘call’? No, because they are not calling out to Jehovah, the only true God. They will be calling out to their false trinity god that is accepted across all major false religions and the fallen churches of Babylon. This is the ‘god’ that unites the false religions and fallen churches of Babylon. Ecumenism is based upon the trinity god, look:

“Pope Francis says that ecumenism is a spiritual process rooted in the trinity.” (source)

“The central ecumenical importance of the doctrine of the Trinity has become increasingly recognized in recent years.” (MATTHIAS HAUDEL, professor of theology at Munster Protestant Theological University, Germany – source)

“The ancient Babylonians recognised the doctrine of a trinity, or three persons in one god– as appears from a composite god with three heads forming part of their mythology, and the use of the equilateral triangle, also, as an emblem of such trinity in unity.“ (Thomas Dennis Rock, The Mystical Woman and the Cities of the Nations, 1867, pp. 22-23)

“The Hymn to Amun decreed that ‘No god came into being before him (Amun)’ and that ‘All gods are three: Amun, Re and Ptah, and there is no second to them … This is a statement of trinity, the three chief gods of Egypt subsumed into one of them, Amon.” (Simson Najovits, Egypt, Trunk of the Tree, Vol. 2, 2004, pp. 83-84)

“It must not be forgotten that Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon [the Trinity], and nowhere in the New Testament does the word ‘Trinity’ appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord; and the origin of the conception is entirely pagan … The ancient Egyptians, whose influence on early religious thought was profound, usually arranged their gods or goddesses in trinities: there was the trinity of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, the trinity of Amen, Mut, and Khonsu, the trinity of Khnum, Satis, and Anukis, and so forth.” (Arthur Weigall, Paganism in Our Christianity, 1928, pp. 197-203)

“In the unity of that one Only God of the Babylonians, there were three persons, and to symbolise that doctrine of the Trinity, they employed, as the discoveries of Layard prove, the equilateral triangle, just as it is well known the Romish Church does at this day.” (The Two Babylons, Alexander Hislop, p. 16)

Do you see how the fallen churches can unite together with the false relgions of the world? Because they worship the same ‘3 in 1’ trinity god. And yes, they may just get an ‘answer’ at Sinai during this gathering in November, but it won’t be from Jehovah. It will be from the ‘god’ of this world, Satan. He will gladly answer their call and lead them even further in their deception.

Just as Elijah called down fire from heaven on mount carmel to prove that His God Jehovah was the only true God, Revelation 13 tells us that the fallen churches in America (the image of the beast) are one day soon going to deceive the world with ‘fire from heaven’ to make the world think that God is on their side. When in fact it will be SATAN bringing down that fire to DECEIVE, ‘if possible, the very elect.’ This is why we must be followers of Jesus Christ and His truth alone!

Why is this meeting at Sinai? Why are they mentioning ‘ten commandments‘? Because this is all part of the plan of the Vatican to deceive the world into enforcing her Sunday rest law, the false sabbath of Rome and the fallen churches, in opposition to Jehovah’s 4th commandment and His true holy 7th day Sabbath (our Saturday). This is what the Vatican wants enforced around the world and why the climate change agenda is being pushed so heavily now. But as Revelation 13 confirms, it will be the second beast (America) who is at the forefront of causing the world to bow down to Papal Rome, her false Sunday sabbath and her false trinity god.

Great deceptions are coming friends, and we must be seeking the truth of the one true God of heaven and earth with all our hearts.

On the forehead of Babylon is written … “Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.” (Rev.17:5). But on the forehead of God’s remnant is written … “THE FATHER’s name.” (Rev.14:1)

“We have wandered away from the old Biblical landmarks. Let us return. If the Lord be God, serve Him; if Baal, serve him. Which side will you be on?“ (Testimonies for the Church, Vol.5, p 137)

The TRUE Elijah end time message is found in the 3 angels message of Revelation 14 – THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGE

For Our Sin of Emissions: 10+1 Climate Commandments | Opinion

YOSEF I. ABRAMOWITZ , RENEWABLE ENERGY INNOVATOR
ON 8/25/22 AT 7:25 AM EDT

An arrow strip of biblical land, from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, is not only the pathway of the Israelites during the Exodus, but it is also the birthplace of our climate redemption. This November, world leaders will gather down the coast from here in Sharm el-Sheik to try to hammer-out yet another climate plan for the too-distant future that miraculously has already been successfully implemented in the Arava Valley: The region is the first in the world to be solely powered by the sun during the day—producing 150 percent of the region’s needs. And by 2025 it will be lit up night and day with solar power alone.

Humanity is losing the race to beat back catastrophic climate change. Yet the Arava region’s solar success serves as a prophetic rebuke to those who claim that going 100 percent green energy is not technically feasible, economically advantageous or would take decades. The technology and economics are here; missing is moral climate leadership.

Climate hope may not come from the 27th gathering of world leaders on the issue but instead from a nearby place of paramount spiritual power. A group of us, under the auspices of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development and the Elijah Interfaith Institute, recently came together at Mount Sinai to envision what message of hope and transformation religions can offer to humanity as we grapple with the challenges of climate justice. One of the ideas was returning to the 10 commandments, given at Sinai. While not set in stone, here’s my version (with a little bit of help from my friends):

A bedouin boy guides a donkey from the summit of Mount Sinai after delivering supplies to shops along the stairs to the summit on May 15, 2008.MATT MOYER/GETTY IMAGES

Acknowledge a Higher Power
Like in Alcoholics Anonymous, the first commandment is to acknowledge, with humility, that we are partners with and subservient to the Creator.
Vote Climate
James Sternlicht, from the non-governmental organization The Peace Department, teaches that we have to hold governments and corporations accountable, since they are the ones desecrating our common home with each new drilling license and pipeline. In sun-rich Israel, for example, Prime Ministers Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennet and Binyamin Netanyahu all allowed the gas companies to lock-in an expensive and polluting monopoly for at least another generation, putting the People of the Book on the wrong side of climate history.
Do Not Murder
Since we know that millions of people—usually the poorest and indigenous—will die and suffer from the effects of extreme heat and cold, wild-fires, rising sea levels, and super-charged storms, why doesn’t the business-as-usual approach of most leaders make them accessories to murder?
Do Not Steal
“Climate change is robbing our future,” says Gili Berkovitz, 16, of Strike4Future in Tel Aviv. “We are also robbing nature of her ability to regenerate.”
Do Not Bear False Witness
There are sins of omission—politicians not telling the truth about the real and immediate dangers of climate change; and there are sins of commission—the same leaders at the annual world climate conference, COP 27, who are approving new drilling and pipeline licenses. Together, says the writer David Hazony, these distortions of truth and policy lead to the sin of increased emissions.
Keep the Sabbath
Emissions are down 30 percent over the sabbath every week in Israel and are almost zeroed out on Yom Kippur (the Jewish Day of Atonement, the holiest of the year). A global weekly non-carbon day of rest could reduce emissions of the world by a seventh, and can be observed by different faith communities on different days.
You Shall Innovate
Last month I was hiking up Mount Sinai at 3 am and coincidently—is that even a thing on Mount Sinai?—ran into my friend Avi Jorisch, author of the book by the name of this commandment. Technology can accelerate decarbonization; collaboration can accelerate implementation.
Honor Mother Earth
Kristina Greer, 15, from California says that climate change is a form of arson against the very home that nurtures our lives and that of all living creatures.
You Need Not Covet
Rabbi Jennie Rosenn teaches, “Dayenu. We have enough. And we have the science and technology we need to build a world in which all people can have enough. We just need to achieve the political will.”
Do Not Continue to be Hoodwinked
Oil and gas companies and disingenuous leaders want you to believe that reducing your carbon footprint through individual action is the key. Yet Alan Divack teaches we must not place the burden of solving climate change on individual action. Fossil fuel companies and governmental leaders together gamed the system to favor long-term burning of fossil fuels for energy, industry, and transportation no matter what individual action you take.

Pope Francis: ‘We Observe God’s Commandments, but not as Absolutes’

August 19, 2021 by Andy Roman 8 Comments

Pope Francis, in his catechesis at the General Audience on Wednesday August 18, 2021, (818) made the following controversial and blasphemous words in relation to God’s Law and Christ’s Grace. The statements are recorded in the final two paragraphs of an article published by Vatican News. The Pope expressed the following:

‘It is good for us to ask ourselves if we still live in the period in which we need the Law, or if, instead, we are fully aware of having received the grace of becoming children of God so as to live in love.’ It is a good question, he said, and added a second: ‘Do I despise the Commandments?’ He also gave an answer: ‘No. I observe them, but not as absolutes, because I know that it is Jesus Christ who justifies me.’ [1]

Rome is truly spewing relativistic heresy by confusing God’s law and love. The Pope has concluded that God’s law is not “absolute.” This is setting the Christian world adrift into a sea of doubt that will only lead to more lawlessness and sin. It is obvious that many of the major denominations are no longer reading the Bible anymore. Why should they if they believe that God’s word is no longer absolute and should not be trusted?

Does God love unrepentant sinners? The Bible tells us, yes, that God does love the entire world (John 3:16); but, God’s love is not like our love. God’s love is holy, it is perfect, it is just, and righteous. Speaking of God, Moses said, “His work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” Deuteronomy 32:4.

This means that God always acts in accordance with what is right and is Himself the final, absolute standard of righteousness. God’s love, character, truth, and messages are all absolute! His truth is not subject to anyone else’s feelings or perceptions. His message is not just one of many views that we can choose to follow or not. God is not a man that He will lie, cheat, be influenced or bribed. God will never speak to us out of context or give us bad information that is outdated.

Absolute Truth. Absolute truth is true regardless of how a person thinks or feels about it.

And His Law is not relative, meaning that it is true only as it relates to my understanding.

Relative Truth. Relative truth is the belief truth changes based on the individual’s understanding of it. With relative truth, there are no absolutes and what may be true for you is simply not true for me.

When Jesus came to this world, notice the condition it was in. It was similar to what is happening today:

“He saw his people deceived, self-satisfied, and asleep in their sins. He longed to rouse them to a holier life. The message that God had given him to bear was designed to startle them from their lethargy, and cause them to tremble because of their great wickedness.” (Desire of Ages, pp. 103, 104).

Notice the method and strategy that God uses in His great love to reach unrepentant sinners:

“Before the seed of the gospel could find lodgment, the heart must be broken up. Before they would seek healing from Jesus, they must be awakened to their danger from the wounds of sin.” (Ibid., p. 104).

God does not use a subjective gospel or a relativistic gospel or a social gospel or the rainbow gospel or a watered-down gospel (or a seeker friendly gospel) to reach unrepentant sinners. These are labels that man uses in order to please the carnal heart, to coddle the sinner into a false security, or to reject the warning messages of God. God’s true gospel message is clear, trustworthy, necessary, straight to the point and completely absolute.

“God does not send messengers to flatter the sinner. He delivers no message of peace to lull the unsanctified into fatal security. He lays heavy burdens upon the conscience of the wrongdoer, and pierces the soul with arrows of conviction. The ministering angels present to the sinner the fearful judgments of God to deepen the sense of need, and prompt the cry, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ Then the hand that has humbled in the dust, lifts up the penitent. The voice that has rebuked sin, and put to shame pride and ambition, inquires with tenderest sympathy, ‘What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?’ ” (Desire of Ages, p. 104).

This is the method that God uses as the means to call sinners to repentance. This was how Christ dealt with humanity when He walked the earth. And remember, God’s absolute truth and His means to reach the world are despised by the devil. Look who’s behind those who reject the warning messages of God:

“Their unbelief bred malice. Satan controlled them, and in wrath they cried out against the Savior…These people had prided themselves on keeping the law; but now that their prejudices were offended, they were ready to commit murder” (Desire of Ages, pp. 239, 240).

What caused the Jews of Nazareth to show so much hatred toward a loving Saviour that they were willing to sacrifice that law of God and commit murder? It was their own personal unbelief and rebellion. It was Satan who was controlling them and giving them his spirit of malice toward the truth of God. This is what we are dealing with today and it is the same spirit of Satan that hates God’s law that manifests itself in the hearts of men and women today:

“Truth was unpopular in Christ’s day. It is unpopular in our day. It has been unpopular ever since Satan first gave man a disrelish for it by presenting fables that lead to self-exaltation” (Desire of Ages. p. 242).

What causes men today to war against the truth? It is the same unrepentant, carnal, prideful spirit of unbelief—and an unwillingness to receive correction or instruction. It is the spirit of Satan that is offended by the truth. God is not offended by truth. It is the devil’s spirit that opposes itself against Christ and His truth and causes men to want to commit murder and bury the messenger. Jesus told the Jewish leaders of His day:

“But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth…Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” John 8:42,44,45.

The existence of absolute truth is controversial. The preaching of absolute truth is even more controversial, because it does not sit well with a lot of people who like their God subservient to their own distortions of truth. In this modern age of multiculturalism nobody wants to be bothered with the fine print in the Bible. The world just wants a God who loves everyone and tolerates everything. This is the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, the very thing that Gods hates:

“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.” Revelation 2:15.

What was the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, the thing God hates?

“The doctrine is now largely taught that the gospel of Christ has made the law of God of no effect; that by ‘believing’ we are released from the necessity of being doers of the Word. But this is the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes.” (Signs of the Times, Jan. 2, 1912).

Every day I am more convinced that Francis is the Pope of the Nicolaitanes, a huge religious movement that rejects God’s moral standard as absolute. They have established their own morality: climate justice, wealth redistribution, Mother Earth spirituality, Green Sunday laws, ecocide and several other catholic social teachings. This is what happens when we reject God’s law as being absolute; anything goes.

In fact, if God’s law wasn’t absolute, there would not have been a flood in Noah’s day. Sodom and Gomorrah would not have been turned to ashes. Jerusalem would not have gone into captivity to Babylon. There would not have been a crisis of faith in Daniel 3 or Daniel 6. Jesus would not have been turned over by the Jews to the Romans to be crucified. But because God’s word speaks in absolute terms when it says, “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), Jesus had to step up and choose to give his life so that we can live. There was no other way but through atonement. On the cross Jesus suffered and died so that we could have eternal life.

If God’s law was not absolute, there would have been no early Christian martyrs; there would be nothing to be persecuted for. There would have been no Protestant Reformation. How can you have a reformation without an absolute standard to bring about favorable changes according to God’s will? Without absolute commandments there can be no obedience, no purity among the people, no sanctification and no Remnant Church in the last days. Tragically, it also means that there will be no mark of the beast, no test between Saturday versus Sunday. And don’t worry about Revelation 12, 13, 14, 17, 18. None of that matters whenever God’s will is not absolute.

Pope Francis has created a false dilemma, and his ideas are entering all the churches, including many Adventists circles. The Three Angels’ Messages is God’s absolute, final warning message given to the final generation—to counter the popular teachings that God’s law is unnecessary or not absolute. Tragically, the world doesn’t want to hear these messages. Why is that? Because when you understand the heart of the Three Angels’ Messages, you tremble to see the great wickedness and rebellion our world is in.

⁶And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

⁷Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

⁸And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

⁹And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

¹⁰The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

¹¹And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

¹²Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹³And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

¹⁴And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁵And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

¹⁶And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. (Rev 14)

It exposes the beast and the image and shows that the whole world is deceived by the dragon (Revelation 12:9), and is worshiping the beast and the dragon (Revelation 13:3, 4), and not God. God also identifies His people and calls them the Remnant which keep the commandments (Revelation 12:17), and God also calls them His saints which keep the commandments of God (Revelation 14:12), and they are seen in heaven for keeping God’s commandments (Revelation 22:14).

Revelation 14 is not a message that originated in man. These are God’s words, and God put them there to be applied. Therefore, it is not intolerant or malicious to try to understand, apply or preach these apocalyptic narratives, lest we come to the conclusion that the word of God or that our loving God must be classified as such. The bigotry, hatred and confusion lie in the fact that fallen and sinful human beings are trying to separate God from His own truth, and they want you to accept their broken and failed policies.

Pope tells atheists: You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven

In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.

Pope Francis assures atheists: You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven

“The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! . . . And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. . . . We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: We will meet one another there.” Source

Atheists can certainly be saved without converting to belief in God source

stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.

Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.

Pope Francis: atheists can go to Heaven | the reproach of Christ

The Pope was not giving a precise theological answer. However, he clearly implied that atheists can possibly go to heaven. And that is my theological opinion also. An atheist can enter the state of grace by a baptism of desire. An act of love is sufficient for the adult to obtain sanctifying grace and to supply the lack of formal baptism.

Pope: Mary is the road we must travel to reach Jesus

Jan 1, 2021 Mary, said Pope Francis, “is not only the bridge joining us to God; she is much more. She is the road God travelled in order to reach us, and the road that we must travel in order to reach Him.” Pope Francis continued, saying, “We are in this world not to die but to give love.” Mary is an example for us, “keeping all these things in our heart.”

Pope on New Year’s Day: Devotion to Mary is a must

At the start of the new year Pope Francis said that having a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary isn’t just something that is nice or good to do, but is an obligation in the life of a Christian. “Devotion to Mary is not spiritual etiquette; it is a requirement of the Christian life,” the Pope said

Mary as the road that we must travel in order to reach God?

Mar 29, 2021 The way to heaven is difficult and the gate to enter small, but Jesus’ mother, Mary, who herself entered through the narrow gate, will help those who ask, Pope Francis said Sunday. Mary can be invoked under the title “Gate of Heaven,” he explained in his Angelus address Aug. 25.

Why Does Pope Francis Love the Blessed Virgin Mary So Much?

In an address on the faith of Our Lady, Pope Francis asked, “What was Mary’s faith like?” The first characteristic he listed: “Mary’s faith unties the knot of sin.” It is an ancient belief of the Church that the Blessed Virgin Mary untied the knot of disobedience in man’s heart created by Eve’s disobedience. Pope Francis encourages us to look at the knots of unbelief and disobedience in our own lives, with the help of Mary:

a Marian prayer composed by Blessed Bartolo Longo, the apostle of the Rosary, that uses the image of the Rosary as a “chain” to heaven:

“O blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you.”

Pope John Paul, like his successor Pope Francis, saw the Rosary as a precious chain of prayers that joins us to heaven. he prays the Rosary three times a day.

Twelve hours after his election as the 266th successor of St. Peter, Pope Francis made a quiet visit to the Basilica of St. Mary Major to venerate the famous icon of Our Lady known as Salus Populi Romani (protectress of the Roman people). The Holy Father placed a small bouquet of flowers before the icon and sang the Salve Regina. Cardinal Abril y Castelló, the archpriest of St. Mary Major, explained the significance of the Holy Father’s veneration:

“He decided to visit the basilica, not only to thank the Blessed Virgin, but — as Pope Francis said to me himself — to entrust her with his pontificate, to lay it at her feet. Being deeply devoted to Mary, Pope Francis came here to ask her for help and protection.”

Since his first visit as pope, the Holy Father venerates this icon of Our Lady before and after each of his international trips.

Why Did Pope Francis Go to St Mary Major? – Fr. Dwight Longenecker

March 14, 2013 by Fr. Dwight Longenecker. 42 Comments. Pope Francis praying at the tomb of Pope St Pius V. The first thing this morning Pope Francis went secretly the church of St Mary Major to pray at the tomb of Pius V.So who was Pope St Pius V? He was a reforming pope who reigned from 1566- 1572. He cleaned up the curia, excommunicated heretical bishops, cleaned up the immorality in the church and swept the church clean– paving the way for the great surge in the church we call the Counter Reformation. He also excommunicated the tyrant Elizabeth I of England and formed the Holy League–a confederation of Catholic armies which eventually defeated the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto. Pius V also instituted the Feast of Our Lady of Victories (or the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary).

Pope Francis: Man Must Obey The UN – RETURN TO TRADITION

by David Martin

2000 years ago, Christ instituted the Roman Catholic Church with the commission that it enlighten all peoples on the path of salvation and provide a sure means of attaining it. As Christ sees it, the Roman Catholic Church is the one central world authority to which all peoples should be subjugated.

In 1945, the archenemies of Christianity founded the United Nations with the objective of destroying Christianity and submerging the world’s peoples under the tyranny of communistic one-world government. The U.N. today is that central world force that is generating the present day revolt against the Faith, with special emphasis on children’s rights, feminist rights, abortion rights, LGBT rights, and all the Masonic rights that were created to separate man from God. The U.N. asserts that these “rights” are to be respected everywhere by all peoples.

Pope Francis agrees. During a September 10 press conference on route to Rome from Madagascar, the pope insisted that when the United Nations speaks, man must listen.

“When we acknowledge international organizations and we recognize their capacity to give judgment, on a global scale—for example the international tribunal in The Hague, or the United Nations—If we consider ourselves humanity, when they make statements, our duty is to obey … We must obey international institutions. That is why the United Nations were created.” https://youtu.be/FBOeHudjqGM

So according to Francis, when the U.N. says that homosexuals must be free to express their sexual orientation and that women must be guaranteed their right to abortion, the world must obey. Hard to believe? Let us not forget that the pope on several occasions has invited U.N. abortion advocates like Jeffery Sachs and Ban Ki moon to speak at the Vatican concerning their Sustainable Development Goals of making “mother earth” a safer place through population control.

On April 29, 2015, the Vatican officially endorsed their United Nations Goals (SDGs), which include contraception, abortion, and euthanasia. Moreover, the pope in May 2019 was calling for a supranational, legally constituted body to enforce these U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

Since his election, Francis has advocated that we look to this global elite for our instruction, as expressed in his encyclical Laudato Si: “There is urgent need of a true world political authority.” Wasn’t the authority of the King of kings good enough? The U.N. is the infamous brood of vipers that is perverting the nations and bringing them to a collision course, so why is Francis commending the flock of Christ to them?

Francis Executing Internationalist Plan

It is no secret that the U.N. was founded in 1945 by the CFR members of the Illuminati, a satanic secret society that works conjointly with the Freemasons. What these internationalists advocate is a universal break from the past and a merger of all peoples into an ecumenical one-world government/religion, which the Second Vatican Council was instrumental in advancing. Pope Francis advocates this departure from the past and merger with other religions, which has elicited praise from globalists and Freemasons the world over.

For instance, In July 2013, commemorating his friend and late Cardinal Ersilio Tonini, the Masonic Grand Master Gustavo Raffi (Grand Orient of Italy) launched this tribute to Pope Francis:

“Humanity today is poorer and poorer, as is also the Catholic Church. But the one of Pope Francis is a church that promises to be respectful of the otherness and to share the idea that the secular state promotes peace and coexistence of different religions.”

On September 21, 2013, during the celebrations by the Freemasons of the Grand Orient of Italy, Grand Master Gustavo Raffi also stated, inter alia:

“Pope Francis launches messages of humanity that are in tune with what we have been saying for years….This is a living Masonry, talking to people [in dialogue].” https://onepeterfive.com/freemasons-love-pope-francis/

On and on the praises go, the reason being that this pope from the beginning has done the bidding of Freemasons to down-talk Church tradition, even dubbing “schismatic” those who hold tenaciously to the old teachings, while continually emphasizing that we move forward with this Masonic plan to unite the Catholic Church with the world.

Pope Calling for “Global Pact” for a “New Humanism”

And now the pope acting as a U.N. pawn has announced he is hosting an initiative for a “global pact” to create a “new humanism.”

“A global educational pact is needed to educate us in universal solidarity and a new humanism,” Francis said in a recent video message to launch the initiative. Pope Francis invites religious, political leaders to sign ‘Global Pact’ for ‘new humanism’ As if Christ didn’t already give us the solution for world peace and unity! The implication is that Christ’s instruction through tradition is ineffective so that this new humanism is now needed.

What is needed is a universal return to God and His Divine Laws, which means a universal rejection of the secular humanism that Francis is peddling for his global masters. He cannot bow to Jesus Christ and to globalists at the same time. He cannot advocate a new church of man and be truly Catholic at the same time. For our unity is with Christ, not with the world.

What Christ requires of the hierarchy is that they reject humanism and restore His Church to its former position of honor as it stood before Vatican II. For the Freemasons infiltrated Vatican II and engendered the new order of change that is fast coming to a head under Francis, so our duty as Catholics is to resist this new order of temptation and to remain ever faithful under siege, remembering the exhortation of St. Paul for withstanding these days of Antichrist:

“Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.” (2 Thessalonians 2:14)

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — World leaders are running out of time and must address the challenges of climate change before it’s too late, Pope Francis said.

In a letter to Catholics in Scotland signed Nov. 9, where the U.N. Climate Change Conference is being held, the pope said he hoped leaders attending the summit would “meet this grave challenge with concrete decisions inspired by responsibility toward present and future generations/

“Time is running out; this occasion must not be wasted, lest we have to face God’s judgment for our failure to be faithful stewards of the world he has entrusted to our care,” he wrote.

Proselytism – The Spiritual Life

Proselytism is illegal in some countries. However, the right to convert to another religion and to manifest religion is enshrined in Article 18 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. The term is generally understood as pejorative, by contrast with evangelism which is viewed as a term of approval. The World Council of Churches has indicated that, used pejoratively, proselytism refers to attempts at conversion by ‘unjust means that violate the conscience of the human person’, such as by coercion or bribery.

Pope Francis Criticises Proselytization “You Are Not A ‘Disciple Of Jesus’ If You Try To Convert Non-Believers”

bySwarajya Staff–Dec 25, 2019 03:18 PM +05:30 IST

Advocating a new outreach strategy for the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has said that speech should never be used in order to convince a non-believer of the truths of the Catholic Faith.

Francis made these remarks while addressing the students of Rome’s Pilo Albertelli classical secondary school last Friday (Dec 20).

“Never, never bring the gospel by proselytizing,” Francis said. “If someone says they are a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, they are not a disciple of Jesus.”

proselytism prŏs′ə-lĭ-tĭz″əm, -lī- noun

The practice of proselytizing.
The state of being a proselyte.
The act or practice of making proselytes or converts to a religion or to any doctrine, creed, system, sect, or party.

historically, the word “proselyte” has simply meant a convert, and proselytism has simply meant making converts.

Proselytism is the act or fact of religious conversion, and it also includes actions which invite it. The word proselytize is derived from the Greek language prefix (pros-, “toward”) and the verb (érchomai, “I come”) in the form of (prosélytos, “newcomer”). Historically in the Koine Greek Septuagint and New Testament, the word proselyte denoted a Gentile who was considering conversion to Judaism. Though the word proselytism originally referred to Judaism (and earlier Gentiles such as God-fearers), it now refers to the attempt of any religion or religious individuals to convert people to their beliefs, or any attempt to convert people to a different point of view, religious or not.

Great Commission of Jesus, recorded in the final verses of the Gospel of Matthew: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” The Acts of the Apostles and other sources contain several accounts of early Christians following this directive by engaging in individual conversations and mass sermons to spread the Good News.

John 13:20
Verse Concepts
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”Acts 22:21
Verse Concepts
And He said to me, ‘Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”Acts 26:17

How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”1 Corinthians 1:17
Verse Concepts
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

“In front of an unbeliever, the last thing I have to do is try to convince him. Never. The last thing I have to do is speak,” Francis said. Instead, he stressed, “I have to live consistent with my faith. And it will be my testimony to awaken the curiosity of the other who says: ‘But why do you do this?’ And yes, I can speak then.”

What is COP27? Everything you need to know about Egypt’s landmark climate conference

With just under a month to go, news about COP27 is starting to appear.

From promises to do better to big issues likely to be discussed at vital negotiations, we’re beginning to get a picture of what the summit could look like.

This international conference is synonymous with climate change – but what is COP27 exactly, and can it help solve the world’s most urgent environmental problems?

What is COP27?

The UN Climate Change Conference (the official name for climate Conferences of the Parties) has happened every year since 1995. These two-week summits are an important space for world leaders, politicians, experts and a whole host of other people to discuss the climate crisis on a global level.

The annual conferences bring together those that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – an international environmental treaty addressing climate change – 30 years ago.

Every UN member state is a signatory for the UNFCCC, as well as Palestine, the Cook Islands and Niue. The Holy See is also an observer of the treaty. Effectively every nation, country, or state in the world is involved, giving a total of 197 signatory parties.

Each year representatives from every party come together to discuss action on climate change for the Conference of the Parties or COP. Following COP26 in Glasgow last year, the 27th COP is being hosted in Egypt next month.

What can we expect at COP27?

“The work ahead is immense. As immense as the climate impacts we are seeing around the world,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said during a pre-COP meeting this week.

“A third of Pakistan flooded. Europe’s hottest summer in 500 years. The Philippines hammered. The whole of Cuba in black-out,” he listed.

Adding that in the US, Hurricane Ian has delivered “a brutal reminder that no country and no economy is immune from the climate crisis.”

The onslaught of climate disasters in 2022 has left little breathing space for the international community to respond. And, as the latest report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows, time is ticking ever more dangerously towards the 1.5C threshold of global warming.

“COP27 is critical – but we have a long way to go,” adds Guterres.

When is COP27?

COP27 is taking place over two weeks, from 7 November to 18 November.

The fortnight of negotiations will kick off with a World Leader’s Summit on 7 and 8 November. After this, government officials will tackle some of the weightiest issues surrounding climate including finance, decarbonisation, adaptation and agriculture.

In the second week, big topics including gender, water and biodiversity will be in the spotlight.

Though there are no plans for the final day, COPs are notorious for over-running. COP26 in Glasgow didn’t deliver a final agreement until Saturday 13 November.

Where is COP27 being held?

Egypt is hosting COP this year, in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.

This is the first COP in Africa since COP22 was held in Morocco in 2016. It’s hoped that it will be an ‘African COP’ in focus as well as location as African countries face some of the worst impacts of climate change.

There are two main sites for the event: the Blue Zone and the Green Zone. The former is where the official negotiations take place, bringing together the delegates and observers through discussions, exhibits and cultural activities.

This UN-managed space is based at the Sharm El-Sheikh International Convention Center (SHICC), just south of the town centre.

Across the road is the Green Zone, which is run by the Egyptian government and open to the public.

The site says it will be an “inclusive” platform where “business community, youth, civil and Indigenous societies, academia, artists and fashion communities from all over the world can express themselves and their voices would be heard.”

Why is Egypt hosting COP27 so controversial?

The question of whose voices will be heard – and whose won’t – is an especially contentious one this year.

COP hosting duties rotate around five UN regional groups. The African group countries decided among themselves who would step forward. Morocco’s Marrakech has hosted twice, as well as Kenya and South Africa; all in the continent’s top six richest nations by GDP.

The UNFCCC secretariat undertook a fact-finding mission to check Egypt has the resources to put on such a huge event. Though this was done by the book, Egypt’s presidency is controversial because of its poor record on human rights.

Since seizing power in 2013, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s government has overseen a widespread crackdown on dissent. At least 65,000 political prisoners are currently behind bars, the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information estimates.

Human Rights Watch states that thousands of people, including children, have been prosecuted in mass trials, “in unfair proceedings lacking the simplest resemblance to due process.”

Last year Amnesty International ranked Egypt as the third worst country by number of executions.

It’s for this reason that some climate justice campaigners, including author Naomi Klein, are calling this the “Carceral Climate Summit”.

Klein is one of the dozens of prominent environmentalists and politicians, alongside Bill Mckibben and UK MP Caroline Lucas, who expressed their alarm in a letter earlier this year.

“We are deeply concerned that [a successful conference] will not be possible due to the repressive actions of the Egyptian government,” the signatories wrote.

“Indeed, it seems more likely at this point that the conference will be used to whitewash human rights abuses in the country.”

Who is going to be at COP27?

Around 90 heads of state have so far confirmed their attendance at COP27, a senior Egyptian official said this week.

Special representative for the COP27 presidency Wael Aboulmagd did not give away specific names, but it’s expected that world leaders and representatives from more than 190 countries will attend the summit. Tens of thousands of negotiators, members of the press and observer organisations will be descending on Sharm El-Sheik too.

Egypt’s minister of foreign affairs, Sameh Shoukry, is taking over from COP26 president Alok Sharma and will play a key role at the summit.

US President Biden’s attendance is not yet definite, with White House officials reportedly still weighing up whether he can make it amid the US midterm elections and the G20 summit in Indonesia.

“COP27 is the place for all countries – led by the G20 – to show they are in this fight and in it together. And the best way to show it is by showing up at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh,” says Guterres.

“I am urging leaders at the highest level to take full part in COP27 and tell the world what climate action they will take nationally and globally.”

The biggest question mark in recent days, however, has been hovering over King Charles III’s attendance. UK PM Liz Truss reportedly “advised” the new monarch – a veteran climate advocate – that he should not go, and Buckingham Palace has confirmed he will comply.

Truss herself is expected to go to COP27, despite some mixed messages in the media.

Why is COP27 so important?

COP matters because it provides the time and space for world leaders to take stock of the latest climate science and enact change which can only be achieved collaboratively.

In 2015, COP21 delivered the Paris Agreement; the first legally binding global treaty on climate change, committing 196 parties to keep global warming under 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

More often the conferences are a catalogue of failures, as far as those who most urgently need climate action are concerned.

COP26 saw a flurry of new pledges – around coal, deforestation, methane emissions and more – but ultimately still left us on track to hit 2.4C, according to the Climate Action Tracker.

As well as curbing emissions, developed countries promised at COP21 to provide developing countries with $100 billion (€90 billion) a year for climate mitigation and adaptation by 2020 – a target they are unlikely to reach until 2023 at the earliest.

Now, bearing the brunt of escalating climate change, vulnerable nations are focussed on the third strand of climate finance: loss and damage.

This issue – sometimes likened to ‘climate reparations’ – was pushed back at COP26, and campaigners are determined to see their demands for a loss and damage finance facility met at COP27.

Professor Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD), says that from developing countries’ perspectives, COP27 will be a failure from the outset if finance is not put on the agenda.

Sharing his thoughts last month, Professor Huq, one of the few people to have attended every COP, said “the need for governments to sit together and negotiate new decisions is far less important than actually doing things, implementing decisions that have already been made.”

Though 26 years of qualified successes and outright failures have dimmed peoples’ hopes in the COP process, it’s more important than ever that COP27 succeeds where others have failed.

“The war in Ukraine is putting climate action on the back burner while our planet itself is burning,” adds Guterres, leading to some “backsliding” in the private sector around fossil fuels.

“We are in a life-or-death struggle for our own safety today and our survival tomorrow,” he warns.

“There is no time for pointing fingers – or twiddling thumbs. It is time for a game-changing, quantum level compromise between developed and emerging economies.”
