I am making a new introductory Paranormal
page, for several reasons. First, the other page was way too long. While
updating my site, and particularly that page, I started adding even more
content. I am separating the UFO phenomena from the other paranormal activities
to a different page. But I am not separating based on any origins. Only
for page space and ease of reading reasons. Secondly, I am taking a new
stance on conspiracies. And I firmly believe one should approach the paranormal
with a proper attitude. Of which will be described on this page.
If you wish to view my page on: Astrology,
Psychics, & Ghosts:
This is a very difficult subject to be
balanced in. I have avoided this subject a long time, for many reasons.
Mostly, because being involved in such stuff doesn't usually help and that
God will overcome all men.
But recently (when I originally wrote this),
I made Statement of Faith page:
1 Cor 9:25: MKJV 25 And everyone who strives for the
mastery is temperate in all things. Then those truly that they may receive
a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
How can I be temperate in Conspiracies
if I ignore them? But how can I be balanced Biblically by discussing them?
Awhile back, I found a great page with
a Biblical perspective in how to deal with conspiracies:
This was the closest to the Temperance
of God I had seen, concerning conspiracies. But I think there should be
more involvement to be truly temperate.
We need to expose the darkness:
Luke 8:17: For nothing is secret, that
shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known
and come abroad.
But we should do so, without making unrighteous
judgment, without proper witnesses. Because the governments are God's
ministers:
Titus 3 LITV 1 Remind them to be subject to rulers
and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready in every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, not quarrelsome,
but forbearing, having displayed all meekness to all men.
Romans 13 MKJV 1 Let every soul be subject to the
higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities
that exist are ordained by God. 2 So that the one resisting the authority
resists the ordinance of God; and the ones who resist will receive judgment
to themselves. 4 For it is a servant of God to you
for good. For if you practice evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the
sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him
who does evil.
We must enter this subject carefully and
not be involved in gossip:
Proverbs 18: NKJV 8 The words of a talebearer are like
tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body.
Isaiah 8: 12 NKJV "Do not say, "A conspiracy,'
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their
threats, nor be troubled. 13 MKJV Sanctify the LORD of
hosts Himself, and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
But we must realize the unrighteous men
in government will be judged:
Prov 29: NKJV 2 When the righteous are in authority,
the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Psalms 2: 1: Why do the heathen rage, and the
people imagine a vain thing? 2: The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his
anointed...
Our security lies in God. He will one day
reveal all secrets and judge the wicked:
Rom 2:16: In the day when God shall
judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Psalms 33: MKJV 10 The LORD brings the counsel of the
nations to nothing; He breaks the plots of the people.
So what then is the answer? Well just as
satan has counterfeited prophecy with psychic powers, necromancy, and astrology;
he has also counterfeited prophecy with conspiracy theories.
Rather than trying to dig out with carnal
measures the hidden truths behind the schemes of men, let God make them
manifest. I am not saying that people who are some how involved or are
on the outskirts of these plots who have decided to repent or acknowledge
what they know, to shut their mouths. God may use such testimony, but those
outside the plots who have no business in them, should refrain from using
carnal tactics, to glean information. Those who have authority, let them
use what measures they have. But God will bring evidence and He also promises
to tell us before the major events take place:
Amos 3: 7 For the Lord Jehovah will do nothing
unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. 8 The lion has roared; who will not
fear? The Lord Jehovah has spoken; who will not prophesy? 9 Make it heard...
Perhaps you don't believe in prophets or
prophecy? Perhaps you think God has stopped using such measures?
Eph 4: MKJV 11 And truly He gave some to be apostles,
and some to be prophets, and some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors
and teachers, 12 for the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. 13 And this until we all come into
the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown
man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 so that we no longer may be infants,
tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, in the dishonesty
of men, in cunning craftiness, to the wiles of deceit.
Those ministers listed in verse 11 are
called the doma gifts or the 5 fold ministry. The word doma comes from
the greek word "gifts" in Eph 4:8. I discuss the doma gifts in detail here:
But as you can see by scripture; the doma
gifts (and we are especially concerned about the prophet) were given "until
we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son
of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness
of Christ" (verse 13). By no means has the church come into unity.
Perhaps each year a new denomination is formed. Prophets still exist. I
know there seems to be 2 extremes concerning the Prophetic movement today.
One extreme won't acknowledge a prophet unless or until his prophecies
come true. This is NOT the full method of determining of a false prophet.
It is only a partial test, and one that is not 100% accurate. You would
have to use the same test on the other doma ministers. If a pastor ever
preaches an error, is he a false pastor? If a teacher ever teaches a mistake
is he a false teacher? No. Men are not guaranteed by God to understand
God's word perfectly:
1 Cor 13:12 For now we see through a
glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall
I know even as also I am known.
1 Cor 2:2 For I determined not to know
any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
It is for this reason that James say's
this:
James 3: 1: My brethren, be not many masters,
knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
I speak more about the stricter judgment
of ministers at the Church Government link above. I also discuss the subject
of church failure here:
Further proof God is not done using prophets
are the 2 prophets in Rev 11 in the end times.
What other method can be used to point
toward someone being a false prophet?
Math 24: NKJV 23 "Then if anyone says to you, "Look,
here is the Christ!' or "There!' do not believe it. 24 For false christs
and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive,
if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 "Therefore if they say to you, "Look,
He is in the desert!' do not go out; or "Look, He is in the inner rooms!'
do not believe it.
I personally know of only one minister
who I judge as a false prophet. Benny Hinn. Benny Hinn has declared a return
of Christ physically, in desert regions of the Middle East and in inner
rooms of christian meetings. Here are some links with quotes from Benny.
At the 1st link you can actually download recordings of Benny actually
saying this. Some or all of these sites have bad teachings, but they are
correct in Benny, but not correct in how they deal with him:
1 Tim 5:1: Rebuke not an elder, but
intreat him as a father... 1 Tim 5:19: Against an elder receive
not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Before we accuse an elder we must communicate
with him, with at least 2 witnesses, and with respect as a father. I have
contacted his ministry, and I have given 3 witnesses above. You can contact
Benny Hinn here:
(please note they have changed their contact
page 3 times or so since I created this page, the link may not get you
to their contact page, if they have changed it again since I fixed the
link, but it should bring you to his site)
What about prophecy besides prophets?
There are 4 New Testament methods to prophesy:
1. the Doma Prophet - Eph 4:8-11
2. the charisma of prophecy - Rom 12:6
3. the manifestation of prophecy - 1 Cor
12:7,10
4. the spirit of prophecy -
Rev 19:10: ... thy brethren that have
the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the
spirit of prophecy.
By saying "Jesus is Lord", one is working
by the spirit of prophecy. This is speaking prophetically by revelation
(via scripture, inspiration directly from God, inspired by another believer...)
of the truth about Christ.
Rom 12: NKJV 6 Having then gifts differing according
to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us
prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our
ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation;
he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows
mercy, with cheerfulness.
This is the list of charisma gifts which
all believers can have. These are from the Holy Spirit and are also categorized
as the descension gifts. Those gifts the Holy Spirit gave to the church
when the Holy Spirit descended. These are NOT leadership gifts, which are
discussed at the link above "Church Government". The word charisma comes
from the greek word "gifts" in Rom 12:6.
1 Cor 12: NKJV 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word
of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through
the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts
of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles,
to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different
kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one
and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually
as He wills.
These are the manifestation gifts, also
by the Holy Spirit. These are given as He sees fit. These manifest only
when the Holy Spirit desires, whereas the charisma gifts operate when the
believer desires. These gifts are also descension gifts.
Not only does scripture tell us to accept
the prophet, but prophecy as well:
1 Thess 5:20: Despise not prophesyings.
Do you despise prophesying? Then you are
breaking God's word. There are many examples of prophecy in other people
besides the 12 apostles. It is available to all:
1 Cor 14:1: Follow after charity, and
desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1 Cor 14:5: I would that ye all spake
with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth
than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church
may receive edifying.
1 Cor 14:39: Wherefore, brethren, covet
to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Perhaps you believe if the gifts are not
done in perfection they are not from God? What about preaching, must it
be done in perfection?
1 Cor 14:40: Let all things be done
decently and in order.
Before they are done decently and in order,
they must be done. And it takes practice and training. It takes time to
minister correctly. I don't know of any man who has ever ministered perfectly
except Christ. In fact Paul had to correct Peter!
1 Cor 14:32: And the spirits of the
prophets are subject to the prophets.
There is historic evidence that the miracles
did not stop with the deaths of the 12 apostles. Look for the section (near
the bottom) titled:
Miracles, Healing, and the Gifts of the
Holy Spirit Continued for Centuries
The church fell into what is called The
Dark Age. Many doctrines were forgotten and many gifts lost. There were
some during this period who manifested gifts or taught Scripture who were
persecuted or martyred by Rome. Then the Reformation came and began to
restore many lost things.
Now back to conspiracy and prophecy...
I believe we can use 2 things to show us
how the end times will "pan" out, scripture and prophecy. Many scriptures
show "darkly" what will transpire. But we can also look at historic examples.
Ecc 1: 9: The thing that hath been, it is
that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun. 10: Is there any thing whereof it may
be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which
was before us. 11: There is no remembrance of former
things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come
with those that shall come after.
I believe just as the church was born and
showed great powers and authority, that they will return in like manner
they were. But even greater:
Hag 2:9: The glory of this latter house
shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts...
And in the same manner of creation, the
end of creation will be like the beginning. The VERY beginning was peaceful
and without sin, the end will have something like this during the 1000
year reign of Christ. Sin nature will still be evident, but will be severely
hampered by having satan locked away. The temptations will be greatly diminished.
And Jesus, Himself will be ruling the earth.
In same manner that man lived very long
in the beginning, so man will live long during the millennium.
But, when man began to get corrupt and
wickedness ruled the world, God decided to flood the world and save Noah
and his family. Immediately before the flood great evils were taking place.
And so before the millennium great evils will take place.
What were those evils? Man was very violent,
but another great wickedness took place. Fallen angels came and took women
and produced children with them. These children were giants and "heroes".
They also were the birth of Mythology. Legends tell us these great men
led much of mankind. Scripture tells us of the wickedness of these times.
I discuss this in greater detail in my UFO/Aliens page.
I am mentioning this, as a method of determining
future, rather than seeking truth behind conspiracies. As the world began,
so shall it end. Right after the flood, as mankind began to repopulate
the earth, mankind produced the Babylonian Government. Thus, God destroyed
the tower of Babel and changed the languages of man.
So if we use the same analogy, we will
see that before the demons will manifest their monstrosities, mankind will
remake the babylonian government.
I also discuss the demonic attempt to control
end time governments here:
This is where we are today. Globalization
is coming more of a reality, the reflection of the Tower of Babel, the
unity of mankind which God had dispersed. Babylon will emerge as 2 systems.
One is governmental and the other is spiritual or religious. The following
links are not representative of any facts that I adhere to, just evidences
of.
Here are links to the conspiracy of the
spiritual babylon:
Here is a link to a christian organization
which studies UFO phenomena, and has evidence that alien abductions can
be stopped by using the name of Jesus, if you are a believer in Jesus.
This link contains the government conspiracy
behind UFO's:
Using scripture both ways; literal verses
prophesying end times and looking at Biblical history being reversed, we
get a bigger and clearer picture of what will happen. This is not something
new. In fact nothing seen on earth is new:
Ecc 1: 9: The thing that hath been, it is
that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun. 10: Is there any thing whereof it may
be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which
was before us. 11: There is no remembrance of former
things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come
with those that shall come after.
That was written by the 2nd wisest man
in history, Solomon. The wisest was Christ. Solomon is telling us that
the past is going to be that which is coming again. And he says that those
after his time will not remember that which took place, so they won't be
prepared.
But, we can even get more of a picture
through prophecy.
As you can see, earth's future will be
similar to it's past. And America's future is told by it's past. America's
past had a civil war, and we in America will experience another before
we experience the end. The birth of America was by war against a foreign
power and it's end will be through war by foreign powers.
Where is the prophecy? George Washington
our 1st president and a founding father supposedly had a vision. This vision
was a prophecy of the end of our nation. You can see it here:
We need not delve too deeply into conspiracies.
God has granted us methods to know the future and has granted us security
in Him, if we follow His Word and give Him our lives.
As of the date at the top of the page,
I edited an older page and revamped it with a new message, and a new stance
I am taking on conspiracies. In particular in uncovering the secrets of
Babylon. That page, could be considered a part 2 to this page:
