Oh the irony! The irony! And the nerve. Christmas is, no doubt, a holiday celebrated all over the world… apparently even in repressive, oppressive backward Iran (directed at the government, not the people). Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (the beadie-eyed man who talks like Hitler) even went so far as to issue a Christmas message, in which he espoused on what Jesus would do. For some reason a British TV network decided they were going to air it as an “alternative” message to Queen Elizabeth’s. Would they have given Adolf Hitler air time to express his “alternative” message? You figure it out.
The irony, the fact that Iran just killed 10 people in slow, painful hangings on Christmas Eve (they do strangulation, too and it’s all public), is addressed near the end. Read the rest of this entry »
I am speaking about this Maitreya character, a very real unclean spirit and his enslaved followers (self-delusion and the avid eating of “unclean food” will do that). I first heard about this deceptive spirit some months ago in Warren Smith’s “Reinventing Jesus Christ” (a free read). This character supposedly appeared in public knowingly in Africa somewhere a couple decades ago — so his people claim. Anyway, according to this weird press release published in the formerly respectable WSJ, he is about to make another public emergence, in a TV interview of all things on a high-profile network. The thing is, though, he will be presented by a different name (the deception might not work otherwise) and he thinks he’s GOD’s gift to the planet — and he thinks he’s GOD, too (sounds like Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-21, doesn’t it?)
This demonic spirit, under the guise of peace by any means necessary (“share or die,” he apparently has said) wants to present himself as “the one we have all been waiting for” to folks of every religion… and (if it even makes any sense) to those who quote unquote don’t do religion. But getting unbelievers to believe won’t be a problem, because this unclean spirit is all-inclusive — he supposedly doesn’t want you to worship him (although he’s presenting himself as a christ and GOD). Instead, he wants you to find the divine within. Good luck. You can read more about his nonsense here (briefly) or here (thoroughly).
But his whole thing is peace:
… I shall send My Disciples to You, and they will show you the way, but you must act and follow our plan. “(Messages from Maitreya the Christ p.30 Tara center) There is an ominous note to all his teachings. “Already the leaders gather and seek to implement this Principle… My Teaching is, as ever, simple indeed. Men must share or die.” Read the rest of this entry »
Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Every year on December 17 tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the Rincon church to honor ST. Lazaro, a patron Sant of Lepers.

It truly amazes me how the LORD our GOD is so gracious as to reveal so many things to us — not only about HIMSELF and HIS plans for creation, but how the mind of man works, especially among those who are so ignorant and in love with themselves.
Please watch this video in which the Rev. MacArthura stands firm on the WORD of the LIVING GOD…the only authority we have for living a clean and acceptable life before HIM… while the other panelists speak with the flesh. Notice the “I have a problem…” and “I don’t think…” phrases, especially. And “I don’t want to get into theology…”
As for the “rabbi” who says the 9/11 terrorists aren’t in hell (because GOD wouldn’t make a place like that) and that they aren’t in heaven either… they’re just “nowhere.” I don’t want to call him a fool, but he sure speaks foolishly.
And Mr. Chopra “…we have created a tribal chief with our gods.” Pardon? There is only ONE GOD and HE is sovereign. I really wonder who this jesus Mr. Chopra is talking about… I mean, where else do you find out about Jesus Christ of Nazareth besides the Holy Bible? … Can these people read?
2 Peter 2: 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
… 12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.
15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Have you always wondered how these cooks calling themselves messiahs manage to actually get people to follow them? — Because the knowledge of GOD is not in them. A very “popular” and much talked about false christ — who has apparently been around for decades — has an announcement published in the Wall Street Journal about his coming out party.
Remember, the Holy Scriptures make it clear that in the last days there will be a one-world government, faithful Christians will be persecuted (for refusing to conform to and compromise with the world) and wickedness will reign for a season — that men will be lovers of themselves (think that “little god” concept). There is going to be a false christ who envies and hates the LORD so much, he will make the world worship him. There will also be a false prophet, who will do signs and wonders — and they’ll be real, so real in fact that even the Elect are in danger of being fooled… if possible.

About LaVrai.COM
LaVrai.COM was previously heavily focused on news and commentary related to the Christian community. My interests and desires have changed somewhat. Although I am still very much attentive to current events and happenings affecting Christians worldwide, I feel it would be more beneficial for myself (and I pray for others) to use this space on the Internet to focus more on GOD’s Holy Word. It is HIS Word that keeps us going day-to-day.
I try to be very careful about what sites/blogs I link to. Not everyone confessing Christ Jesus truly knows HIM or is obeying HIS every word. That said, please use your own discretion when clicking on a link. If I am aware of any conflicting issues with a link, I will make it known.
