When I saw this first photo here, I was like, hmm, folks having church at the Apollo in NYC? Then I noticed the young lady holding on to the Michael Jackson album. (Click on images to see them larger)

This is the work of the Anti Christ using the death of Micheal Jackson to bring people to worship an idol , a flase God. Micheal Jackson’s death is sad only because he had God given talent but used it to worship not only himself but Satan . I was watching the news about him last night and could not believe how people are worshipping him as if he was a God. Micheal Jackson became a muslim several years ago and has been a Satan worshipper for a very long time , he and his family sold his soul to the Devil for fame and money. Satan called in his marker for Micheal and is using his death for people to not worship JESUS but worship a false God . The NWO has a hand in this also because they control the music industry and helped make Micheal what he was all the way to his death knowing what a frenzy this would cause with the media and with the world . This is a great distraction to take peoples minds off what is really going on with Obama’s destruction of our country with him pushing all his agendas through Congress and the Senate. I know people thought Micheal Jackson was a Saviour becuase his music made them feel good and he did so much for charities and children. I tlked to a couple of Christian friends of mine and they thought that Micheal Jackson was saved becuse he was a Jehovah Witness and they also thought Farrah Fawcett was saved becuse she was a devout Roman Cahtolic and I got mad and told them they don’t know what they are saying and that you cannot be a saved person and still continue to be part of these Relgions becuase they are false. . This just proves how dumbed down our society has become .
Hi, John. I honestly don’t know if Michael Jackson had an opportunity to accept Christ Jesus (I can only hope the LORD gave him the chance and he accepted). However, I don’t recall seeing anything in his public life nor his music that gives me the slightest impression that Jackson knew the LORD Jesus Christ and had a personal relationship with HIM.
His tragic death is sad and I pray his family takes it as a sign — that the LORD can take the breath from our bodies at any time and that we better make sure we’re right with HIM every hour of every day. I pray GOD sends them peace and healing at this troublesome time.
I also thought that this “idol worship” of Michael Jackson was wrong in God’s eyes. Some people would rather worship and devote themselves to a singer who is now deceased, than to worship the One Living God, our Creator.
Not surprised in the least, this coming from a country where it was common place to see praise services IN CHURCHES praising Barack Obama, after his election. I actually saw an ad that said “Praise service for Barack Obama” and sadly it was held at a church. Idol worship is just becoming more and more blatant. So so sad!
I suppose if a Christian knows a Michael Jackson song better than something like the LORD’s prayer… there may be a problem.
As if we need anymore news coverage of Micheal Jacksons death, yesterdays coverage of the Micheal Jackson Memorial was just more of sign how out of touch this world is with GOD. It did not matter where you were or lisetning to because the coverage was so overdone and everywhere you turned the TV , radio, internet. I did succumb to watching the last bit of the memorial and I was so mad but not surprised that person after person went up on stage and worshipped this man as if he was a GOD. First off to make him like Martin Luther King is not bestowing any honor on him what so ever, so that was also overblown. Martin Luther King was not who everybody thought he was especially from a Chrsitian stand point not even the Black Sotuehrn Baptist Churches wanted anything to do with him. I will give him his due that he was a very talented person indeed but to glorify him and to make him a Martyr , when his lifestyle and music and Bad Album cover said a totally different thing is saying how people worship false Gods. The end of the memorial justified the means by that I mean the song we are the world if you listen to it very carefully and watched what relegious symbols were being displayed on the screen behind the entertainers you would see what is being transpired right in front of our eyes right now. This was not only a symbolic gesture but a blatant sign in saying One World Relgion is here upon us and it is being shoved down our literal throats. Now that was one sign , now the other has to do with Rick Warren and his Peace Plan and his Emerging Chrsitianity that he and all his pals are also pushing and is in context with the One World Relgion, NWO and Illuminati who controls the music and media and everyone that was worshipping Micheal. Here it is in a nut shell, the lyrics alone are part of Rick Warrens Peace Plan , when you get down to it , what is in the song is they are trying to change the world and make it better palce worth living . It says that we are of this world but not to be conformed to it and this world is coming to an end and where us Born Again washed in the Blood of sin Born Again Chrsitians are going is a better palce.The Lord Jesus had said that the poor will always be amongst us , so we can’t possibly and are not suppose to take care of all of the poor and starving people in this world or try and cure every disease just like Rick Warrens Peace Plan and We Are The World song. There are so many bad things glaring out at me about Micheal Jacksons death and memorial. 1. It is said that the race issue just won’t die with certain people , especially quite a number of people that spoke at the memorial. 2. That this was turned into a worship service and made out to be like church. 3. The deliberate mixed message that was protrayed to individuals that truly don’t know or ecepted Jesus in ther heart as Lord and Saviour and that was never even mentioned. 4. To get up and say that we all have to stand in front of God one day and that there is another life after this without once again mentioning the fact that you we all will be judged when we stand before the Lord on every thought, every word and every action. 5. Not one mention that Jesus died on the cross for our sins , so that we may be forgiven and that we must be Born Again and have a relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Chrsit and that is the way to our salvation. 6. Andrea Crouch and his sister that are suppose to be Born Again Chrsitians keeping company and singing with non believers is telling us where there loyalty lies, we are not suppose to be yoked together with unbelievers. Now For CBN to say that this memorial had a Chrsitian theme to it is absolutely doing the same thing that all these individuals did at the memorial and avoid the truth but then again it is Pat Robertsons Network so that tells you everything if you know the truth about Pat Robertson. I pary that the Jackson family and all that attended Micheal’s memorial really do get down on there knees and ask for forgiveness of our Lord for following a false God and ask him to come into their hearts and have residence but I doubt it after yesterdays performance and I mean that literally. Now go and see what the Pope is doing ,calling for a New World Currencey and meeting with World leaders, one being Obama . People this is all leading up to JESUS coming again and we are starting to see the great falling away.
Hello John
I read a few of your comments and basically I believe the entire Micheal Jackson thing is just the result of the media. Just see what all the channels in TV broadcast today, it is all worship of idols, it does not matter if it is music, it can be sports, it can be movie stars, Disney teen stars (e.g. Hanna Montana) it is all idols here there and everywhere.
Even people can worship the Bible as a book and forget about God.
The entire system is designed to attack the family, foundation of the society, I have seen how a homeschooler kids are very well educated kids, most of the ones I know have excellent grades and are good worshipers of God. I am not saying that thais the way to do things, many of us simply can not have homeschoolers ourselves but I do believe this is a good example of what the importance of the familiy has in society.
Recently the atheists are attacking the nations fundamnetals, trying to remove the words In God We Trust form all over the place, well I think this should not affect anything in regards of religion. For example Countries like Brazil and Mexico have a big separation between state and church and those two countries have very religious population.
What I mean by this is that as long as we believers Live our Christ center life, it should not matter how many idols can be around us, or what movie star or singer, etc. dies or says something, we have Christ in our heart, and this things should not affect us.
I just wanted to make a comment in regards of what you said about Micheal Jackson and Farrah Fawcet. We do not know if they are saved or not, and it should not bother us either, let’s just remember that Jesus himself, hanging from the cross, forgave a thief who in the very last moments of his life decides to ask for forgivness, and God’s mercy reaches him.
Also I don not think we can say that this church or that church are false doctrines, I believe there is good people in all churches. There are false doctrines, and false prophets everywhere, but there is also good people around.
I do not believe this church or that church has the absolute trhuth.
I also do not think we can ignore the history of the church, and how the apostoles inherited scripture to their people, and hoe there was no Bible at the begining. also I just found a website where they show a Bible that is 1600 yeras old and has all the books that were originally in the Bible, how come Marin Luther decides to mutilate the Bible and removes around 7 books??? does that mean that those who gather to put together the Bible books were wrong??? I do not think so.
I believe Luther’s intentions might have been good but he totally missled the church and opened the doors so that anyone could come with thier own ideas and iterpretations of the Bible, That is why there are Thousands and thousands of churches, all stating that they have the truth, when the Gospel of John talks about unity, but if we look back in history, I think we can find some answers.
May God Bless you and keep us in friendly communication since I believe we all search the truth.
