Spiritual Blindness

So, one morning, I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine,

I mentioned in passing

(during a conversation about vegetarianism) that I was a Rastafarian many years ago, and was a vegetarian during that time.

My colleague said then that their spouse loves Reggae Music

I asked then, if the love was based in faith or music appreciation. My colleague stated that it was music appreciation, that their spouse attends many concerts, and Loves the Music. My colleague went on to say that their spouse is a schoolteacher and teaches the  students to say... JAH Rastafari!

Surprised, I explained that to declare "JAH! Rastafari"

is a declaration of the deity of Haile Selassie. I broke it down word-by-word, and making clear that it means “YAHweh/Jehovah is Haile Selassie!”

My colleague looked at me with this vacant stare, then said someting along the lines of

The spouse says that if Haile Selassie is watching over all those people (e.g. Rastafarians I assume) then he can watch over the kids…

Now, is that not a FAITH statement???

People blinded by the god of this age...

But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. – 1 Cor 2:14-15 (HCSB)

            

Leroy Thompson exemplifies the insanity of the 'prosperity gospel'

So, I actually watched Leroy Thompson for about 8 minutes
the other night (Link Below). I took notes as best I could between gags and bouts of nausea and disgust.. He was talking about and to ‘Harvest Millionaires’. The sermon (if you can call it that) was... Get this...

"Living the Financially Advanced Life in Godly Finances" Pt. 2
Would someone tell me what that mess even MEANS?????

Among other things He said that:

1) Though we all think that John 10:10 is for the future, it
is for today. John 10:10 says: The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
(How this was revelatory, I know not)

2) There is a place that you can put money to protect it
now. This is of course the tithe, and seed offerings


3) You are a millionaire already, because you can add up all
of your tithes and offerings, and call for it, in fact you can call down a 10
fold return (at which of course there was ‘shouting’ and jumping)


4) If there is gonna be any abundance down here, it’s gotta
include money


5) You should sow a more extensive seed, because your
‘millionaire manifestation’ comes when your ‘front seed’ and your ‘back seed’
meet ( I must have missed the earlier decriptions of these front and back
seeds)


6) Matt 6:19-20 is about sowing seed and tithing is laying
up treasures in heaven.


7) We must call on that seed, call on that tithe, it’s still
on deposit with God

8) Heaven is still ‘on the move’ (whatever that means)
So that you know that I am not making this up, the proof is just a click away...

Yahshuah says...
Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
(Matthew 7:13-23 ASV)


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(Romans 1:18-22 ASV)
