By means of bullying many Christians who love the
King James Version to a radical extreme the AV translators never envisioned,
Peter Ruckman and Gail Riplinger have provided modern version advocates the perfect foil with whom to
associate KJV proponents they wish
to discredit while avoiding the real issues surrounding the modern versions.
Almost invariably, modern version proponents label KJV-Only Christians as “Ruckmanites”
when they cannot present well-documented and reasoned critiques of our work
without exposing their own deception. Such ad hominem attacks reveal their desperation to
control the damage we have inflicted on the modern version conspiracy—a
conspiracy which they assure their readers doesn’t exist—and their role of
controlling the opposition—you, their readers.
The “Ruckmanite” tactic is one example of the
lengths to which the conspirators in their varied disguises will go to vilify
beyond recognition Christians who defend the purity of God’s Word, the Textus
Receptus, against the
onslaught of corrupted versions that are proliferating and will be marshaled to
support the agenda of a false Christ. Now this modern version scam has moved out
of the Christian community into the public arena where it is playing an
important role in the end-time drama that is unfolding before our very eyes...in
the national news.
PURPOSE-DRIVEN MURDERS?
On March 12, 2005, just two months after Fox TV’s
pseudo-documentary “Smallpox,” an Atlanta man on a killing rampage was subdued
and seemingly led to repentance by a woman who read to him a chapter of Rick
Warren’s immensely popular book, The Purpose-Driven Life. According to the famous pastor of
Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, The Purpose-Driven Life has
been the best selling book in the world two years in row, 2003-2004.
Immediately following Brian Nichols’ murder spree and surrender to authorities,
the secular media went into overdrive promoting The Purpose-Driven Life,
as well as Rick Warren, who modestly responded:
“We have been grateful to see God use ‘The Purpose
Driven Life’ to provide comfort and direction to people from all walks of life,
and were humbled to learn that hostage Ashley Smith found strength and
encouragement in its pages during her seven-hour ordeal.
“I understand Ms. Smith shared a portion from the
chapter on ‘Servanthood’ with Mr. Nichols, which seemed to have a positive
impact on his life. Jesus sometimes calls us in some of the most difficult
situations to be an advocate for Him and the message He represented while on
this earth.
“We are thankful that Ms. Smith was able to draw
from the Scriptures and her reading from the Purpose Driven Life to bring some
hope to her captor’s life that was unraveling so tragically and dramatically.”
(MSNBC)
Is God using The
Purpose-Driven Life to provide direction to people from all walks of
life?
One excellent critique of The
Purpose-Driven Life is Warren Smith’s book Deceived on Purpose. In the course of his research, Smith
discovered that Rick Warren is a protégé of Robert Schuller, the famous pastor
of the Crystal Cathedral, who mentored Rick Warren at his Institute for
Successful Church Leadership in Garden
Grove, California.
“I also noticed that Rick
Warren’s name was mentioned on the same page as the New Century Version
ad. In a column describing an upcoming church growth conference at his Institute
for Successful
Church leadership, Schuller
had written:
‘You’re
Invited to Discover a Fantastic New Dream for Your Church’. The theme for
the 2004 Robert H. Schuller Institute for Successful Church Leadership is If You
Can Dream It You Can Do It! Dare to dream that your church can overcome, and
succeed, and can make a difference in your community and in your world
today.
‘Is your
church all God wants it to be? Send your pastors and lay church leaders to the
34th Robert H. Schuller Institute for Successful Church Leadership;
which brings together the most prominent pastors who make faith come alive in
some of the country’s largest churches, like Bill Hybels of
Willow Creek
Community Church, and Rick Warren of Saddleback
Church, both graduates of the
Institute.” (Deceived on Purpose, p. 80)
Robert Schuller is a 33°
Mason (an important omission in Warren Smith’s otherwise outstanding
expose), which explains why Masonic philosophy permeates Rick Warren’s book and
the Purpose-Driven Movement as a whole. In fact, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church
belongs to the Southern Baptist Convention which is
heavily infiltrated and controlled by Freemasonry. The following excerpt from Deceived
on Purpose demonstrates that Rick Warren’s theology is not Christian
but pantheist, for he espouses the pagan belief that God lives in
everyone:
“Renowned
occult teacher and New Age Theosophist Alice A. Bailey also described how a new
world religion will be based on this ‘immanent’ aspect of God. Emphasizing the
word ‘fresh,’ she states that the ‘Path to God’ will be based on:
‘…a fresh
orientation to divinity and to the acceptance of the fact of God
Transcendent and of God Immanent within every form of life.
‘These are
the foundational truths upon which the world religion of the future will rest’
(emphasis added).’
“This same
‘immanence’ aspect of God so important to Maitreya, Alice A. Bailey, the New
Spirituality and the New World Religion is also very important to Rick Warren.
This idea of ‘immanence’ is taught as part of the Foundations course at
Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church. Echoing Bailey’s use of the word
‘fresh,’ the Foundations Participants Guide under the section
heading ‘A Fresh Word’ reiterates Rick Warren’s teaching that God is ‘in’
everything. It states:
‘The fact that
God stands above and beyond his creation does not mean he stand outside his
creation. He is both transcendent (above and beyond his creation) and immanent
(within and throughout his creation).’
“Robert
Schuller has also stressed this aspect of immanence. In a November 9, 2003
sermon at the Crystal Cathedral, Robert Schuller stated that God was not only
transcendent but also immanent. He said that as a result of his becoming more
aware of the immanence of God, his faith was now ‘deeper, broader and richer
more than ever.’ As previously cited, he summarized what he meant by the
immanence of God by telling his worldwide television audience:
‘Yes, God is alive and He is in
every single human being!’
“Also, as
previously mentioned in Chapter Three of this book, this ‘immanent’ aspect of
God is also evident in Rick Warren’s favorite paraphrase, Eugene Peterson’s
The Message. The notion that God is ‘in’ everything and is ‘One’ with
creation is contained in the magical saying ‘as above, so below.’ This is the
mystical New Age phrase that Eugene Peterson injected in its entirety into the
Lord’s Prayer and its derivative form into Colossians 1:16—the verse that Rick
Warren used to introduce his readers to The Purpose Driven Life. As
previously cited, the editors of the New Age Journal, described this
immanent aspect of God and its New Age significance in their book As Above,
So Below:
‘…as above, so below; as
below, so above.’ This maxim implies that the transcendent God beyond the
physical universe and the immanent God within ourselves are one.’”
N.B. The key verse introducing
Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life reads: “For everything, absolutely
everything, above and below, visible and invisible,…everything got
started in him and finds its purpose in him. Colossians 1:16 (Msg)”
In their book, The Trojan
Horse: The New Age Infiltration of the Church, Samantha Smith and Brenda
Scott make an important observation: “In our
ongoing study of mysticism/occultism/spiritualism, we often find that the
authors deny what they are actually teaching.” (24:14) Warren Smith
likewise observed that Rick Warren was careful to include a disclaimer that he
is not teaching Gnosticism, which in fact he does teach:
“The
spiritual implications of all of the overlapping statements are enormous. Rick
Warren, Robert Schuller, and Eugene Peterson are all now teaching this immanent
aspect of God—that God is ‘in’ everyone. On this critical theological point,
these particular Christian leaders are not only ‘not exposing’ one of the
central concepts of the ‘New Spirituality’ and probable New World Religion—they
seem to be agreeing with it!
“A friend
of mine who used to go to Saddleback Church came over to the house one night to
try to demonstrate that Rick Warren wasn’t deceived about the New Age or about
spiritual deception. I knew his argument would be based on the fact that
Rick Warren had made a statement in The Purpose Driven Life that said we
will never become God and that we are not divine. He had even used the term ‘New
Age philosophies.’ Before my friend could even make his point, I had him turn to
page 88 in The Purpose Driven Life. I read the passage out loud:
‘Because God is with you all the
time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are now. The Bible
says, ‘He rules everything and is everywhere and is in everything.’
“My friend
hung his head in disbelief and then exclaimed, ‘That’s pantheism!’
“He had
immediately grasped the dangerous New Age implications of what Rick Warren was
saying. He understood that whatever New Age disclaimers Rick Warren seemed to be
making, he had just overridden them by what he was actually teaching. On
the one hand, Rick Warren has proclaimed that humans are not divine, yet he
opens the door to this New Spirituality belief by proclaiming that God is ‘in’
everything.” (pp. 156-159)
In The Purpose-Driven
Life, Rick Warren quoted nearly 1,000 verses, nearly all from modern
versions and paraphrases of the Bible. Not only did he avoid using the King
James Version, he advised readers against reading the KJV. Warren Smith
noted Rick Warren’s reason for his disturbing advice:
“Having only
used one Bible all these years, I wanted to understand why Rick Warren felt the
need to use fifteen different Bible versions and paraphrases in The
Purpose-Driven Life. In the back of his book I found this explanation:
‘This book
contains nearly a thousand quotations from Scripture. I have intentionally
buried the Bible translations used for two important reasons. First, no matter
how wonderful a translation is, it has limitations…
‘Second, and
even more important, is the fact that we often miss the full impact of familiar
Bible verses not because of poor translating, but simply because they
have become so familiar!… Therefore I have deliberately used paraphrases in
order to help you see God’s truth in new, fresh ways.
English-speaking people should thank God that we have so many different versions
to use for devotional reading.’
“…Of the
fifteen different versions he used, The Message was clearly Rick Warren’s
favorite. In The Purpose-Driven Life, he rarely referred to the King
James Bible. I found his strange reason why in his 1995 book, The
Purpose-Driven Church:
“Read Scripture from a newer
translation. With all the wonderful translations and paraphrases available
today, there is no legitimate reason for complicating the Good News with four
hundred year old English. Using the King James Version creates an unnecessary
cultural barrier… Clarity is more important than poetry.” (Smith, Warren.
Deceived on Purpose: The New Age Implications of the Purpose-Driven
Church, Mountain Stream Press, CA,
2004, pp. 38-39)
We hope the
reader did not miss Rick Warren’s recommendation of modern versions and
paraphrases as enabling one to “see God’s truth in new, fresh
ways.” What “new, fresh ways” might Warren have in mind?
Remember that Theosophist Alice Bailey wrote that finding the “Path to God” came
through a “fresh orientation to divinity and to the acceptance of the
fact of God Transcendent and of God Immanent within every form of life.” Also,
Bailey wrote that this new approach to divinity would be the basis of the
“new world religion.”
Warren Smith
did not fail to make the connection between Rick Warren and Alice Bailey:
“Echoing Bailey’s use of the word ‘fresh,’ [Rick Warren’s] Foundations
Participants Guide under the section heading ‘A Fresh Word’ reiterates Rick
Warren’s teaching that God is ‘in’ everything.” In other words, reading
The Purpose-Driven books along with modern versions and paraphrases will
give the reader “a fresh orientation to divinity,” i.e. an introduction to
pantheism, the doctrinal foundation of the one world religion.
Pantheism is
the ancient pagan belief that the universe is God and there is no God but the
combined forces and laws which are manifested in the existing universe.
Pan, the hermaphrodite god of nature, is acclaimed by occultists to have
procreated the world. The study of the first ‘principle of nature’ (PAN)
is presently the basis of comparative religion classes which teach that all
religions are equally valid. Pantheism is also promoted under the guise of
‘panentheism’— Alice Bailey’s false teaching of “God Transcendent” and “God
Immanent” which corresponds to the false teaching of Rick Warren and Robert
Schuller that God is both in and beyond the creation. Panentheism,
regardless of whether it is taught by Alice Bailey or Rick Warren or Robert
Schuller, is merely the foundation for other heresies, such as the divinity of
man and the androgyny of God.
KJV TERRORISTS?
So, on one
hand, the secular media is subtly promoting the notion that King James Bible
readers are terrorists and a menace to society and, on the other hand, airing
daily specials that sound like TBN promos for a pseudo-Christian book that
teaches heresy and promotes heretical paraphrases of the Bible like The Message—as if God would
use counterfeits of His Word containing false doctrine rather than the genuine
Word of God to draw sinners to Jesus Christ.
What’s wrong
with this picture?
Shortly after September 11, 2001, the founder of
the U.N.-affiliated United Religions
Initiative, Episcopal Bishop William E. Swing, announced that members of any
religion who hold to the fundamentals of their particular “scriptures” should be
classified as “terrorists.” Bishop Swing based his remarks to participants
at a URI meeting in Washington, D.C. on the fact that the Scriptures of all
religions contain violent content which must be removed in order to prevent
future acts of terrorism.
UN RELIGIOUS MEETING BLAMES
RELIGION FOR TERROR ATTACK ON US
“The founder of the United
Religions Initiative, a movement that seeks to become the dominant religious
voice at the UN, blamed religion for the September 11th terrorist attacks on
New York and
Washington. At a Wednesday meeting at the UN
Church Center, the Episcopal Bishop of San Francisco, William E. Swing, asserted
that the hijackers did not hold a corrupted version of Islam because religions -
all religions - are guilty of fostering terrorism. ‘There is a lot of terror and
violence in a lot of scripture. There has to be a critique of that. We have to
hold the religions’ feet to the fire for the violence and terror within
them.’
“Swing said, ‘The nations of the world have met
every day for the past fifty years, the religions of the world have not. Who is
more moral, the nations of the world or the religions of the world?’ URI seeks
to create a permanent body of religious ambassadors - a parallel organization to
the UN - to address the problem of ‘fundamentalists in our own
groups,’ an issue that traditional religion ‘wimps out on.’ Swing
proclaimed that, in light of the terrorist attack, ‘It's a new day for
inter-religious activity in the United States.’
“Other participants at the meeting criticized either
religion or capitalism. One person said, ‘The problem is religion - the whole
concept of religion that requires conformity. The truth is different for every
individual.’ Another claimed, ‘All religions have fanatical elements,
we must delete those elements from
scripture.’ Still another said, ‘The underlying causes
are economic. We want more oil and bigger cars.’ Swing agreed, repeatedly saying
‘we must address the brokenness at the root of the terrorist attacks by bridging
the chasm between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots.’ One participant wondered ‘how
we can have a heart to heart dialogue with the terrorists.’” (Catholic Family
& Human Rights Institute, FRIDAY FAX, Oct. 12,
2001, Vol. 4, No. 42, http://www.c-fam.org/)
Note that Bishop Swing and his UN-affiliated
United Religions Initiative are not concerned about the average Christian, but
“the problem of ‘fundamentalists in our own groups’.” In other words,
fundamentalist Christians who, it is presumed, are potential
terrorists on the order of Bin Laden and al-Qaeda. It will therefore become
necessary to “delete those elements from scripture” which inspire such
fundamentalists to engage in terrorist activity. But wait! Paraphrases of
the Bible are already available which have “deleted the fanatical elements from
Scripture”! How convenient.
If a fundamental Christian can be
held responsible for a fictional Smallpox epidemic, it is not unreasonable to
expect that the Tribulation pestilences and other judgments will be blamed on
Christians who hold to the fundamental doctrines of the faith who are portrayed as a fanatical, terrorist element. As 9/11 galvanized public opinion against the Muslims, who
hold to the Quran, leading to the present genocidal campaign in the Middle East,
a series of Tribulation catastrophes of the scale described in Revelation 6 will
provide the U.S. government the mandate needed to remove the FTO requirement in
the USA Patriot Act, i.e., that a the terrorist group “must be a foreign organization.” (See Amendments to Section
219 of the INA in the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001)
The
full force of the Patriot Act may then be turned against U.S.
citizens who happen to be Christians, who will be automatically be classified as
fundamentalists and therefore “terrorists”.
At this point, we
project that agents provocateurs of the Ruckmanite variety will receive front
page coverage to further misrepresent fundamental Christians as “terrorists.”
The meaner they are depicted and the more horrific the Tribulation judgments,
the more hatred will be generated by the U.S. government and its department of
propaganda, the secular media, who will report on a daily basis the Tribulation
events which fundamentalist Christians have brought upon the world.
The false identity invented for
one or more of the operative agents provocateurs may even include a criminal
history as a pedophile or some such record which will serve to reinforce in the
public mind the vile character of all fundamental Christians, who are
also “conspiracy theorists”! The History Channel will probably air a
documentary on King James citing all of the false witnesses who have ever
slandered this godly man as a homosexual pedophile. The fact that King James’
numerous enemies vilified him because he prosecuted witches and sorcerers as a
criminal element (which they were) will be spun to elicit sympathy for the poor
occultists, whose crimes King James elucidated for his subjects in his marvelous
expose of witchcraft, “The
Daemonologie.”
THE NOAHIDE LAWS
The book of Revelation is
very specific that a particular group of believers will be martyred during the
Tribulation period. Also identified is the issue that will determine who is
martyred as well as the method of their execution. Two verses in particular,
Revelation 6:9 and 20:4, state clearly that the issue will be the Word of
God.
“And
when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that
were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.”
– Rev. 6:9
“And I saw thrones, and they
sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them
that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and
which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years.” – Rev. 20:4
It seems that possession of the Word of God will become illegal
after the Tribulation begins. Those who confess faith in Jesus Christ will be
given a simple life or death choice; those who choose to use the true Word of God over
the counterfeit scriptures will be beheaded. Moreover, the severe penalty for possessing a Bible—beheading—will
deter many from reading the Word of God.
Capital punishment actually
derives its name from an ancient form of the death penalty for high
crimes—decapitation.
“Where did the idea of
capital punishment come from? First definition in the Webster’s New World
Dictionary for the word ‘capital’ is: 1) Involving or punishable by
death (originally by decapitation) (another capital offense). Decapitation
was the beheading of those who were convicted of any crime deserving the death
penalty (thus Capital from the Latin word ‘capitalis’ which means ‘of the
head’). Murder, treason and other high crimes were punishable by death.” -
362
Well, perhaps in ancient
Rome or medieval England, but “beheading” a form of the death
penalty in a civilized nation such as the United
States? Read on...
On January 17, 1951, the
Orthodox Jewish Chabad-Lubavitch elected Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson to be
the Lubavitch “Rebbe.” The “Rebbe,” who is regarded by the International
Lubavitch Movement as the “messiah,” was also recognized as a moral leader by
many U.S. presidents, starting with President Richard Nixon. According to the Chabad-Lubavitch, the Rebbe enjoyed an especially close
relationship with Ronald Reagan, who began the process of giving legislative
status to what the Lubavitchers call “the Seven Universal Laws”:
“The President was an
early and enthusiastic adherent of the Rebbe’s call to make all people aware
of the Seven Universal Laws, based on the belief in a Supreme Being. The
Rebbe’s call for a moment of silence in the public schools, and his persistent
belief that America must export to the world faith-based moral values, were
among the themes that found a welcoming ear in President Reagan.”
According to The
Encyclopedia of Judaism these Seven Universal Laws, also called the Seven
Noahide Laws, are as follows:
(1) Civil justice
[the duty to establish a legal system];
(2) Prohibition of
blasphemy [which includes the bearing of false witness];
(3) The abandonment
of idolatry;
(4) The prohibition
of incest [including adultery and other sexual offenses];
(5) The prohibition
of murder;
(6) Also that of
theft;
(7) The law against
eating flesh [a limb] cut from a living animal [i.e., cruelty in any shape or
form] (T.B. Sanh. 56A)
The Encyclopedia of
Judaism identifies the source of the Noahide Laws as the Talmud Bavli, the
Babylonian Talmud, which is the most authoritative Talmud for Orthodox Judaism
which regards it as divinely inspired. The Talmud also delimits the
penalty for disobedience of one Noahide Law: “One additional element of greater
severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noahide to
capital punishment by decapitation. (Sanhedrin Tract 57A)”
The Seven Noahide Laws do
not apply to Jews, but only to Gentiles, and will establish a legal framework
for the Jewish elite to rule the Gentile world during the Tribulation period.
The B’nai Noach website put it this way: “A bat Noach [daughter of Noah] or
b’nai Noach [son/child of Noah] is a non-Jew (Noahide) who follows the Jewish
laws specifically given by God for them.”
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, due process will not be followed in the
prosecution of Noachides: “The many formalities of procedure essential when the
accused is an Israelite need not be observed in the case of the Noachid. The
latter may be convicted on the testimony of one witness, even on that of
relatives, but not on that of a woman. He need have had no warning (‘hatra’ah’)
from the witnesses; and a single judge may pass sentence on him (ib. 57a,
b; ‘Yad,’ l.c. ix. 14).” [For more information on the Noahide Laws, see
the Watch Unto Prayer report, “Under the
Law.”]
In 1982, in honor of the
80th birthday of Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, President Reagan issued a
declaration, which Congress confirmed, that April 4 would become a National Day
of Reflection on the Seven Noahide Laws as a moral code for mankind.
“One
shining example for people of all faiths of what education ought to be is that
provided by the Lubavitch movement, headed by Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, a
worldwide spiritual leader who will celebrate his 80th birthday on April 4,
1982. The Lubavitcher Rebbe's work stands as a reminder that knowledge is an
unworthy goal unless it is accompanied by moral and spiritual wisdom and
understanding. He has provided a vivid example of the eternal validity of the
Seven Noahide Laws, a moral code for all of us regardless of religious faith.
May he go from strength to strength.
“In
recognition of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's 80th birthday, the Senate and the House
of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled have issued
House Joint Resolution 447 to set aside April 4, 1982, as a "National Day of
Reflection.
“NOW,
THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do
hereby proclaim April 4, 1982, as National Day of Reflection.”
Nine years later, in 1991,
the Seven Noahide Laws became Public Law 102-14 after a vote by the U.S. Congress on the
recommendation of Reagan’s successor, President George H.W. Bush. Before a joint
session of Congress, President Bush honored Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the now
deceased “messiah” of the Lubavitch Movement, by establishing the observance of
Education Day, USA. This national observance was
intended “to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the
Seven Noahide Laws.” In reality, P.L. 102-14 established the Talmud as of the
supreme Law of the Land.
Lest the reader think the
current President of the United States, who claims to be a Christian, would
never pay tribute to the Lubavitchers’ false messiah like his father who issued
the Education Day proclamation, on March 26, 2002, President George W. Bush,
held a White House reception in honor of the 100th birthday of Rabbi
Schneerson.
“Bush Meets Lubavitch
Rabbis to Mark Rebbe’s 100th Birthday.”
“U.S. President George
W. Bush hosted a delegation of 10 leading rabbis and officials from the
Lubavitch Hasidic movement at the White House yesterday. The 90-minute meeting
took place in the framework of events organized by the movement to mark the
100th birthday of the late Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson... Bush added his
signature to a document declaring the late Rebbe’s birthday ‘The day of
education and charity.’ [Avraham] Rabbi Shem-Tov thanked the president for
his support of Israel and presented him with a
Passover Haggadah.”
If decapitation is the
penalty for violation of even a single Noahide Law, and beheading is the
preferred method of exterminating multitudes of believers during the Tribulation
period, is it foreseeable that the Tribulation saints might be accused of
violating one of these Talmudic laws?
We now turn to the
proceedings of a meeting that took place at the Vatican just a few months prior
to the March 2002 White House reception in honor of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. This
Jewish-Christian dialogue, which was conducted
by the Chief Rabbi of Rome, presaged the very grim future that awaits the
Tribulation saints:
“The Noachides & Rome’s Chief Rabbi, Riccardo Di Segni”
“In Rome, on January 17, 2002, in the
Lecture hall of the Major Roman Pontifical Seminary, a meeting was organized by
the Diocese of Rome, part of the Day of Jewish-Christian dialogue. Present on
the Catholic side were Cardinal Jorge Maria Mejia and Msgr. Rino Fisichella, and
on the Jewish side, Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni, who replaced Rabbi Elio Toaff as
Chief Rabbi of Rome...
“Rabbi Di Segni...explains [the seven
precepts that all noachides must respect]:
“These rules are: interdiction of all
worship except monotheism, interdiction on blasphemy, the obligation to form
tribunals, the interdiction on homicide, theft, adultery, and incest, and the
interdiction on eating food torn from living animals.
“...The Rabbi’s attention is completely
fixed on the first precept, that of monotheism: ‘As to the monotheist cult,
apparently, it poses no doubt for the major religions.’ Aren’t Judaism,
Christianity and Islam defined, in post-conciliar language that has become
colloquial today, as ‘the three major monotheist religions’? In fact, Di
Segni sees no difficulty in defining Muslims as strict and even
circumcised monotheists. But, as to Christians, he has some doubts....
christians: monotheists or idolators?
“This is where Di Segni—who is the
author of the re-publication of the Toledoths Jeshu, under the new title, Il
Vangelo del Ghetto [The Gospel of the Ghetto], with the Toledoths Jeshu
being the most inflammatory Jewish legends against Jesus (1)---‘speaks
clearly’ to the prelates who heard him:
“At the point we have now reached, it is
necessary to make a clarification on Jewish theology, which, on the subject of
monotheism and how it is lived by Christianity, gives rise to a debate that is
essentially a dilemma. The point in question is in view of establishing
whether Jesus’ divinity can be compatible, for a non-Jew (because for a Jew it
is absolutely not) with the monotheistic concept.
“In other words: The Jew who would
become a Christian, thus then believing in the divinity of Jesus, would cease to
be a monotheist in order to become an idolater. Must one say the same
thing of a non-Jew? Is believing in Jesus’ divinity a sin of idolatry, a
violation of the first precept of the Noachide law? Rabbi Di Segni advises:
“‘As to be expected, in Jewish theology,
the answer to this question is not unanimous: some firmly deny it, others place
certain conditions on it. The consequence is that, according to the literal
opinion, the Christian would not be on the path of salvation’ since he is guilty
of idolatry...
“Di Segni concludes: ‘If one must
literally apply the Noachide system of laws, it [the punishment of death] would
be applied to all, so that the Noachides might observe it. Likewise, the
punishment of death would apply to what treats forbidding the worship of strange
gods,’ in view of monotheism.” (559) (emphasis
added)
Source: “The Noachides and Rome’s Chief Rabbi, Riccardo
Di Segni,” Father Francesco Ricossa, Sodalitium, French Edition, No. 53, July,
2002, translated by Suzanne M. Rini, Trans Et Alia, Vol. 3, No. 3, Sept.
2002.
The Chief Rabbi of
Rome is putting the Roman Catholic hierarchy on
notice that the Jewish elite, which even now controls the world from behind the
scenes, will soon have legal authority to prosecute and exterminate Christians
for the crime of idolatry. According to the Sodalitium article, not one of
the Vatican prelates protested the agenda of the Jews: “Today, the unthinkable has been realized. But the Cardinals present at
the lecture of...Rabbi Di Segni, keep silent.” Nor did the prelates question the Jewish power in a court
of law.
We note that this meeting took place on January 17, the
day on which Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson was elected as the Lubavitcher
Rebbe in 1951. January 17 is also the date upon which Convents of the Prieuré de Sion are
traditionally held for the election of Grand Masters. January is the month of
the Roman god Janus, whom the Prieuré worships as Diana, which is the reason the
name ‘John’ or ‘Jean is the esoteric name of its Grand Masters. The fact that
January 17 was chosen to announce the impending enforcement of the Noahide Laws
implicates the Prieuré de Sion, which is the central command of all secret
societies, as a Jewish organization.
A RESTORED SANHEDRIN
As Americans watch events
unfold in the daily news which presage a new world order and one world religion,
it should be apparent that the United States is rapidly becoming a nation
governed by judicial fiat rather than separate but equal branches of
government. The establishment of a super-judiciary is not happenstance,
but was planned well in advance to condition the masses to accept a court system
that is controlled and staffed by Judeo-Freemasonry. For the Church Age—the Age
of Grace—will soon come to a close with the Rapture of the Church, and the
70th week Daniel will commence God’s dealings with the nation of Israel which
will once again come under the Mosaic Law, or rather the Talmudic version of the
