-
Plot: surrounds a cover-up by the Catholic
church about the truth of Jesus Christ & Christianity.
-
A secret society called the Priory of
Sion has occult evidence that would destroy Christianity.
-
They claim:
-
Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married.
-
Jesus was NOT the Son of God; he was
just another guy!
-
Mary Magdalene is the true 'rock' of
the Church!
-
Goddess Mary Magdalene should be worshipped,
not God!
-
Goddess worship, witchcraft, New Age,
Satanism, etc. passes for the 'true' religion.
-
Advertised as fiction, but the author
says it is 'fact.'
-
The writer said, "I began the research
as a skeptic and tried to disprove this stuff, but now, I really became
a believer!"
-
He had to become a 'modern believer,'
certainly not a Bible Believing Christian!
4) Left Behind
-
Large numbers of people get saved during
the Tribulation using today's salvation plan, as well.
-
They make a Tribulation Force to resist
the antichrist.
-
It supports prayers for the dead
-
Satan is in charge of the weather
-
Decisions are made by 'feelings,' 'intuition,'
and 'human reasoning,' - not the Bible!
-
Female pastors and leaders
-
Infant baptism
-
Pope is raptured
-
Music sound track is horrible Christian
rock
5) Passion of the Christ
-
Stations of the Cross - a Catholic teaching
-
Started because of visions to a nun
-
Darkened Right Eye
6) NIV
Verse proving need to be marked!
-
Ephesians 1:13
-
KJB - In
whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed
with that holy Spirit of promise,
-
NIV -
And
you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with
a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
-
True Note:
-
Christians are
NOT to be marked, nor do they have to be concerned about the future mark
of the beast.
-
However, this
verse could be used by the antichrist to convince people in the Tribulation
that taking the mark is an important element in the life of a Christian.
7) NLT suggesting
that all need the mark of the beast.
-
Revelation
13:18
-
KJB - Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore
and six.
-
NLT -
Wisdom
is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the
number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. [a] His number is 666.[b]

8) The
Dead Sea Scrolls
-
Discovered in
1947 in eleven caves on the NW shore of the Dead Sea.
-
By an Arab who
looking for a goat which had wandered away.
-
other stories,
too, of course!
-
ever hear how
all the cults got their start? Amazingly funny, actually!
-
Most of the documents
were 'supposedly' written or copied between the 1st and the first half
of the 1st century.
-
Three types of
documents have been found in the caves near Qumran:
-
fragments of all
the books of the Hebrew Bible except Esther.
-
, e.g., Isaiah,
of which two almost complete scrolls have been found;
-
copies of books
now collected in the Old Testament Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, (books
not considered 'canon') e.g., Tobit, 1 Enoch, and Jubilees;
-
documents composed
by an ascetic community, e.g., a book of community rules called The Manual
of Discipline,
-
an allegorical
account of the community called The War of the Sons of Light with the Sons
of Darkness,
-
a group of devotional
poems called The Thanksgiving Psalms,
-
a commentary on
the Book of Habakkuk,
-
and an extensive
work, known as the Temple Scroll, containing ritual law.
-
The DSS mystery
and confusion is easily and quickly solved with I
Corinthians 13:10; Psalm 12:6,7; Philippians 3:13
-
Kills the "Oldest
Manuscript" theory!
-
A few common facts...
-
They have been
called the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times.
-
Only Caves 1 and
11 have produced relatively intact manuscripts. Discovered in 1952, Cave
4 produced the largest find. About 15,000 fragments from more than 500
manuscripts were found.
-
In all, scholars
have identified the remains of about 825 to 870 separate scrolls.
-
There are now
identified among the scrolls, 19 copies of the Book of Isaiah, 25 copies
of Deuteronomy and 30 copies of the Psalms .
-
Prophecies by
Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Daniel not found in the Bible are written in the
Scrolls.
-
The Isaiah Scroll,
found relatively intact, is 1000 years older than any previously known
copy of Isaiah. In fact, the scrolls are the oldest group of Old Testament
manuscripts ever found.
-
In the Scrolls
are found never before seen psalms attributed to King David and Joshua.
-
The Scrolls are
for the most part, written in Hebrew, but there are many written in Aramaic.
Aramaic was the common language of the Jews of Palestine for the last two
centuries B.C. and of the first two centuries A.D. The discovery of the
Scrolls has greatly enhanced our knowledge of these two languages. In addition,
there are a few texts written in Greek.
-
The Scrolls appear
to be the library of a Jewish sect. The library was hidden away in caves
around the outbreak of the First Jewish Revolt (A.D. 66-70) as the Roman
army advanced against the rebel Jews.
-
The last words
of Joseph, Judah, Levi, Naphtali, and Amram (the father of Moses) are written
down in the Scrolls.
-
The Temple Scroll,
found in Cave 11, is the longest scroll. Its present total length is 26.7
feet (8.148 meters). The overall length of the scroll must have been over
28 feet (8.75m).
-
The scrolls contain
previously unknown stories about biblical figures such as Enoch, Abraham,
and Noah. The story of Abraham includes an explanation why God asked Abraham
to sacrifice his only son Isaac.
-
The scrolls are
most commonly made of animal skins, but also papyrus and one of copper.
They are written with a carbon-based ink, from right to left, using no
punctuation except for an occasional paragraph indentation. In fact, in
some cases, there are not even spaces between the words.
-
The Dead Sea Scrolls
enhance our knowledge of both Judaism and Christianity. They represent
a non-rabbinic form of Judaism and provide a wealth of comparative material
for New Testament scholars, including many important parallels to the Jesus
movement. They show Christianity to be rooted in Judaism and have been
called the evolutionary link between the two.
-
Scrolls were under
complete control of the RCC for 40 years, under the direction of the Dominican
Monastery Ecole Biblique...
-
...which is under
the control of Cardinal Martini's Pontifical Biblical Commission...
-
...of which that
commission is another name for the "Doctrine of Faith," which was
so named in 1965...
-
...having previously
been called the "Holy Office" since 1542...
-
...before that,
it was called "Holy Inquisition."
-
Essenes
created the Dead Sea Scrolls - a group proud of their rebellion against
the OT sacrificial system and against the NT Messiah.
-
could possibly
be from the Sadducees!
-
they call themselves
and the DSS call them 'sons of the light,' "the poor," and members of "the
Way." and were ruled by an 'angel of light' and exist right up to the time
of Paul and Constantine.
-
they thought of
themselves as "the holy ones," who lived in "the house of holiness," because
"the Holy Spirit" dwelt with them.
-
their leader is
called the "Teacher of Righteousness."
-
he was to destroy
the Wicked Priest
-
Paul was actually
called an agent provocateur, the Liar and the Apostate in their Damascus
Document writings.
-
All new bible
versions consult the DSS.
-
Most of the scrolls
match the KJB through the Massoretic Hebrew Text, but not all!
-
Those corrupt
readings are what make the Dead Sea Scroll Bible; their advertising claims
are as follows:
-
Intriguing
revelations about biblical history and the roots of Christianity.
-
Never-before-seen
stories about the biblical figures Abraham, Jacob, and Enoch---including
a text explaining why God demanded the sacrifice of Isaac.
-
Twelve texts
not included in the Bible that claim Moses as their author.
-
New psalms
attributed to King David and to Joshua.
-
Texts illuminating
ancient doctrines about angels and writings claiming to be revelations
of angels themselves including the Archangel Michael.
-
The Dead Sea
Scrolls: A New Translation will set the standard for scrolls scholarship
for years to come. This is an important, rigorously researched work that
renders the scrolls vibrant and accessible

-

-
coming of two
Messiahs
-
a religious prophet
-
a civic leader
But
finally - I said all that to lead us to the big warning on
THE NAME
The NAME
The Dead Sea
Scrolls call for receiving a "Name," spelled with a capital N-A-M-E.
We are told
in Revelation 13:17,18 -
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name
of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a
man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The Dead Sea
Scrolls say the people who will not take the "NAME" during
a seven year period will be killed.
Modern
Bibles
Older printings
of the NIV, in Leviticus 24:11,
said, 'the name of the Lord"
(small 'n," then 'of the Lord").
The most recent
printing of the NIV has dropped 'of
the Lord,' and capitalized the "N"
in "Name," just like the Dead Sea Bible.
We see this
happening in Acts 5:41,
where the KJB says, "his name,"
with a small "n"; the NIV says, "the Name," with a capital "N."
The NIV now
capitalizes "the Name" seventy-seven times.
They are, as
new printings come out, dropping "of
the LORD" (Leviticus
24:11 & 24:16).
Acts 22:16
says,
"calling on the name of the Lord,";
they drop "of the Lord"
and say "calling on his name." So, uh, who is HE?
They
are also changing the way 'name' is used in the Bible.
In the KJB,
John 17:11 says, "those
whom thou hast given me," but
new versions say, "the name which thou has given me."
Daniel 9:19,
in the KJB says, "thy people are called
by thy name." It
does NOT say "called"
in most new versions now; it says, "they bear your Name." capital
"N-a-m-e.
Receiving
His Name?
We are warned
against receiving 'his name (the name of the beast), but in
Revelation 14:1, the NIV adds "his
name and his Father's name". Causes confusion with
Revelation 3:12; 7:3; 22:4).
Branded?
In Galatians
6:17, the NASB says people receive 'brand-marks'
of Jesus.
The apostle
Paul's marks (KJB) are beating marks he received, just like the Lord Jesus
Christ received.
They did not
'brand' Paul, they beat him!
Tattoo?
In the Living
Bible's Isaiah 44:5,
it says that people should receive a tattoo.
"I am the
Lord's,' they'll proudly say, or 'I am a Jew,' and tattoo upon their hands
the name of God or the honored name of Israel. LB
Isaiah
44:5 - KJB - One
shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name
of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and
surname himself by the name of Israel.
This
is all a warning about the antichrist.
Modern
bibles tell the readers today that it is a good thing to do;
the
KJB tells its readers that it is a bad thing to do.
Thanks
to the Dead Sea Scrolls, we can see the increasing & preparation for
the antichrist, today.
If
anyone will listen, that is!
