Wattie,
I appreciate your post. Miktre, I am sorry that you decided to post a video that ties all the New Age movement within Christianity to the Catholic Church. I really wanted to know what the New Age looks like within Christianity - not a run down of Catholic beliefs and doctrines that conservative Protestants disagree with, tied into pagan beliefs.
I think Wattie came the closest to describing New Age teachings - I would love to hear more.

If you watch the entire movie it presents unprejudiced and truthful material against both Catholics and Protestants equally. It was anything but a run down of old Catholic beliefs and doctrines that conservative Protestants disagree with. It simply put forth information of what each is involved with, not set on old beliefs and doctrines but new ones that are emerging. I see the protestants have accepted the information readily, but you can't. This is a big problem when you put your faith on any given man, like the Pope. Best to rest your faith in the one, and that is Christ alone. That way you don't set yourself up so readily for the deception. You are welcome for the post you thanked me for.

I didn't say the whole video, I said the entire movie in which I posted a link to.
Try not to focus on one little section of the movie. See it as overall picture.
Nah, I've seen many of your posts on here.
I think it would be best if you took an honest look at your church.
You are right, especially when we put faith in men like the pope.
This should refresh your memory:
Maybe you were talking to wattie, I dunno cause you blended one conversation into another. You are welcome any ways
You should know also that I posted the video for all to see. It wasn't just for your benefit. I have gotten many positive remarks from it. Even from those who once listened to Rev. Billy Graham. Those were people who were able to get honest with themselves. If you would like to address why your Pope is doing things such as putting on Pagan garb, allowing buddist to put a statue and worship in one of your churches, and getting blessed by a hindu god of death then I'm all ears. I see these are things you would rather avoid else you would have addressed them.
This was the video that I referred to that caused me to question a few things, including my beloved Billy Graham. & I too reflected on the fact that if Miktre would have posted that with the words "Billy Graham denies Christ" I would have said HOGWASH and not even watched. I think it shows how toxic and subtle this can be to even the revered in pastoral leadership. We need to all be aware, cause the "God judging the heart" is truly a thought that a Christian would love, because we do love & want salvation for all. I feel a little to passionate about this cause its hits so close to home in so many ways. If I hear the words mother earth on tv one more time I'm going to scream! & if I hear karma one more time I'm going to scream louder. whats best is when the weather man who wont acknowledge God says lets hope Karma is for us and Mother earth gives us some snow for the olympics. Am I the only one disturbed by this?

I have something to say about BILLY GRAHAM and the (2) interviews that so many condemn him for. Some of you, like JOHN MACARTHUR are going to take all the 1000's of messages that he has preached Jesus Christ and Him crucified throughout all the world in the last 50+ years and trash them over (2) interviews that most people misunderstood, including JOHN MACARTHUR.
Billy Graham had a call from God on his life and he obeyed that call and was faithful to it for 50+ years. Millions of unbelievers heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and came to a saving knowledge and were saved, cleansed and forgiven of sins and many backslides as well. He proclaimed the name of Jesus and salvation under that name more than any other evangelist during the time of his call. Today people are viewing on TV his former messages of the gospel and getting saved generations later. They did everything they could to get these new converts into local churches in their area and even had missionaries sent to start one where there was none. You would think that a man of God like MACARTHUR would recognize these things and given BILLY GRAHAM double honor like the scriptures teach instead of ridiculing what was said on those interviews as an 88 year old man, who may be functioning with limited faculties.
Shame on MACARTHUR who has never learned about double honor and never studied how David treated Saul who tried to take his life on several occasions. I wonder if he ever read what David said about Saul after his death, knowing that God had taking the kingdom away from him and was given to another. David let no guile come out of his mouth and this is what he said in honor of King Saul and his son Jonathan...
2Sam 1:19-25 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
That is double honor and there are some believers today that actually think that Saul went to hell because he disobeyed the voice of God and because of the evil spirit that God had given him. There are those today that think that BILLY GRAHAM is also going to hell and JOHN MACARTHUR promotes that slander by his statements about the man of God. MACARTHUR should repent of the evil of what he said about God's man, BILLY GRAHAM, and make it public. For some reason we think that we have a right to criticize the man that God has called and raised up and we do not have that right. I have plenty more to say about it but I'll save it for later for all those ignorant scoundrels that don't know anything about the call of God.

There is a deeper story to Billy Graham's beginnings, some say he was a "made man". You show me any preacher with any kind of stature and there will be surely some dirt on him and in many cases it's well deserved. I believe there is a deeper lesson here though, one that God Himself has repeatedly taught us concerning the end days that draw near. That there will be many deceptions in the world today and it seems many Christians are all to willing to hang there hat on another man's rack. I really admired that Imoss was able to take a honest look at what that man had said and discern that it doesn't coincide with God's word. That everything he says or does is not of God, many are unable to do that. I don't come here to badmouth Billy or the Pope and get no pleasure out of it. I do get pleasure out of seeing a Christian put God's word above what any man teaches. I am like you, a truth seeker, seeking God's truth honestly, regardless alike of the praise of man or the fear of man; and quite apart from all traditional beliefs or interpretations. To Be true to God's word only.

(yes its mike and its OK to call me mike, I just couldn't admit Imoss was right)

GOD IS NOT A FANTASY!
He is a delusion. an invisible man in the sky? come on listen to yourselves, if a homeless bum told you the government was conducting experiments on him, that he is close friends with the president, thought the government was watching him spending millions of dollars on survailance. You would think to yourself that that man was crazy.
So why are Christians immune to delusional disorders?
God bless

For your information, the rapture is just another example of mass hysteria, think Y2K bug nothing happened, 2012, nothing will happen. The rapture will likely we a meteor destroyig the earth, not giving us enough time to do anything about it.
God bless, and lets be real about this, people are starting to loose faith

No, I'll leave to you and others like you. I'm not here to boast men, simply seek God's truth. If you want the real truth of what I personally believe about him here it is: He was a freemason and a "made man" they put him in the spot light and on the cover of time magazine and gave him national press. He was the pastor to the presidents of the United States, all of them freemasons. I personally believe you cannot serve two masters, that you cannot be a freemason and a Christian because of what freemasonry has become. I personally believe he is a false teacher. There it is, that's what I truly believe. Now you probably think I'm crazy and am full of hate and satanic or something. If you want my real opinion that is it, I hold back usually from giving it as I don't want to stir it up too much trouble in here. Can we still be friends? I Am willing.
the bible didnt even predict the moon landing.
I mean what drugs were the authors of the bible on?
I like to compare it to harry potter, people read that and kids believe its real!
You dont believe in santa clause do you? tooth fairy? or that the government doesn't really care about its people, the people care about the people.
As i said, If you want to live exactly the way the bible reads, then throw away all your posessions and go live in jerusalem with all the delusionals that flock there.
