Adversity leading to Apostasy (re. Glen Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally)

Finding America now at the crossroads of radical socialism and a return to its traditional roots, tens of thousands of Conservatives went to Washington D.C. to support Glen Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally. We will not get into the details of the rally since much of it is already known by our readers. We would rather focus on the spiritual apostasy taking place and the grand deception of the masses of conservatives appearing in Washington for this event.

Why the Rally

It is no secret that America has lost its way over the last 50 years seeking secular and socialistic solutions for our ills while abandoning our Founding Fathers’ vision of the principles of the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. The Left’s ever growing aggression against these crucial moral absolutes and those who practice them has left our American family unit, society and culture a horrific wasteland on the verge of absolute social collapse.

In these last two years under a dominating secular socialist media and a secular socialist majority in the House, Senate and Presidency, social decline and decadence in our country has rapidly accelerated. Like never before in our history, the American people are suddenly awakening to the socialistic and secular agenda that is being established right here in the U.S. of A.

Much panic has arisen among conservative and moderate Americans about the current fiscal crisis, high unemployment, the decline of the U.S. Dollar, our nation’s ever growing national debt, socialistic and secular policies engulfing our republican form of government, immigration, the war on terror, its anti-capitalistic mentality, the well-being of our military and the rampant constitutional apostasy transpiring here in America.

"As a matter of fact, many are genuinely looking to God today because of these crises but are leaving out sound Biblical authority and doctrine in their quest."

These current crises are causing multitudes of thinking Americans to search for solutions and apply themselves as never before. They are scared to death and are desperately seeking leadership and solutions for problems that they thought would never exist. These current crises and adversity brought on by Washington has coincided with a spiritual apostasy taking hold in the Conservative movement which is NOT of Almighty God. As a matter of fact, many are looking to God today because of these crises but are leaving out sound Biblical authority and doctrine in their sincere quest. These are genuinely seeking God on their OWN terms and conditions, which in the end will NEVER fix any situation either here in time or in eternity (Matt. 7:13-20; 15:8-9; Rom. 10:2-4)

Restoring Honor Rally

Present at this event were tens of thousands of individuals from many different “Christian” denominations or various ideologies, and along with them they brought as many different “Christs” created or fashioned by their own family traditions and personal philosophies (Gal. 1:6-9; Col. 2:8; 1 Tim. 6:3-5; Titus 1:15-16).

The problem is that a majority of conservatives today adhere to a relativistic form of Christianity while rejecting outright Almighty God’s biblical plan of salvation by grace. This includes a full accountability to His eternal Person, righteous laws and absolutes (Romans 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 1:16).

When push comes to shove - or when “boxed in” by the absolute truth of Almighty God’s Word and authority - these "conservatives" will usually dismiss the authority of the Bible as an unnecessary religious philosophy and slander those who uphold it.

"These 'conservatives' will usually dismiss the authority of the Bible as an unnecessary religious philosophy and slander those who uphold it."

Instead of recognizing the Bible as the Divine and absolute authority of Almighty God (which is absolutely crucial and pertinent for ultimate success in both time and eternity), these “pseudo-conservatives” have gathered by the thousands in an ecumenical apostasy unified under the umbrella of Christendom. Meanwhile the fundamental absolutes of the Creator and His RIGHTEOUS demands are neglected and sadly rejected.

Such compromisers hold to the “social commandments” of God which relate to one's temporal existence but reject the absolute spiritual requirements of absolute righteousness for their eternal well-being. By observing and practicing the golden rule, or participating in certain charitable work and showing human kindness (all of which are noble), they are seeking to gain heavenly merit by these actions which can NEVER compensate or overcome their violation of God’s eternal righteous standards (Romans 3:19-23, 10:2-4; Eph. 2:8-9).

Noble but Not Righteous (Perfect)

Beck’s rally should be praised as Americans seek the old ways, invoking our past history and our Founder’s vision which has made America great, but when tens of thousands are gathered together - including more than 240 clergy members of various denominations with opposing ideologies respecting the person of Christ, and many "works-based" doctrines regarding personal salvation (i.e., how one can “earn” a place in heaven) - the demonic Kool-aid is being drunk (Rev. 17:2).

"This union is nothing more than a Satanic deception disguised under a banner of virtue, nobility and goodness."

.
In seeking a relativistic ecumenical unity in Almighty God’s name while contradicting sound biblical authority… beware! This union is nothing more than a Satanic deception disguised under a banner of virtue, nobility and goodness (Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:19-23; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; 1 John 4:1). These things are fine (humanly speaking), but APART from the absolute RIGHTEOUSNESS PERFECTION found only in Jesus Christ by faith, such aspirations are only a demonic deception bent on sending multitudes to their eternal doom (Matt. 25: 41). My dear friend, please consider this statement from God’s word, the Bible:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12).

It is far much greater than us and having our small, temporal earthly agendas. We are smack dab in the middle of a horrific spiritual war between the intelligentsia of evil (fallen angels) and God’s eternal sovereignty. That is why God sent His Son to rescue us from this present evil age (Eph. 2:1-22; Gal. 1:4).

Beck the Voice of the Inching Ears

Beck of late has been speaking about God more than any conservative out there. Much of what he has to say sounds right, but when he speaks of a unity on a spiritual level with “conservative Christians” and rejects sound Biblical doctrine as laid out in Almighty God’s Word, thereby invoking spiritual ecumenicalism… stay away!

Lucifer today is seeking to set the stage for his man of lawlessness (2 Thess. 2:3-12). In the eternal (spiritual) sense, unbelieving conservatives are no different than unbelieving secularist. Both political ideologies collectively reject outright the saving grace of Almighty God and seek to establish their own righteousness by their deeds (works) (Rom. 10:2-4; Titus 1:15-15). Though one group is far more humanly virtuous and noble than the other, both groups have fallen completely short of the glory of God (Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:19-23), and ALL have transgressed Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS absolutes (given in the 10 Commandments).

"Unbelieving conservatives are no different than the unbelieving secularist. Both ideologies collectively reject outright the saving grace of Almighty God and seek to establish their own righteousness by their deeds (works)."

.
No sane individual either right or left can ever say that they have kept God's Perfect Law with their whole heart, soul and mind (Matt. 22:37-38; Rom. 3:19-23; Gal. 2:16-21; James 2:10). No one can ever obtain eternal redemption and salvation by any amount or type of works - no matter how many or virtuous and noble. ALL are guilty and ALL are transgressors of the RIGHTEOUS standards of Almighty God (Isa. 64:6; Romans 3:19-23, 6:23, 10:2-4; Eph. 2:8-9).

The God of Truth and Righteousness

In these last days DO NOT be deceived by the false gospel spoken by smooth voices and subtle cunning inspired by Lucifer’s “angels of lights” (Matt 7:13-20, 24:4-5; 1 Cor. 4:3-4; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Jude 1:10). Much truth and virtue with a little “cyanide distortion” will bring absolute ruin in the end (Matt. 7:26-28; Rev. 20:10-15). Things may sure look and sound good, but make sure they stand the biblical test of Almighty God’s Holy Word (Col. 2:8; 1 Tim 4:16; 2 Tim. 4:2-4; Titus 1:9-16).

My friend, let me ask you the ultimate question. Do you know the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, as taught in the Bible? I would challenge you to make yourself absolutely certain of this. In the future many will be utterly horrified when they find out they have trusted a false religious system and deceived themselves by having their own make-believe Jesus (or god) in contradiction to God’s Word and the Spirit of God’s ministry (Matt. 7:21-23, 25:41; Rev. 20:10-15).

"Much truth and virtue with a little “cyanide distortion” will bring absolute ruin in the end"

.
We all will be held fully accountable for our transgressions against God's eternal absolutes. Only Christ has perfectly kept the full Law of God with His whole heart, soul and mind. It is ONLY by His FINISHED WORK on the cross of Calvary and by His resurrection from the dead that we can have pardon and find forgiveness (John 19:30; Rom. 10:4; Gal. 2:16-21; Heb. 9:12).

Good intentions pave the way to Eternal damnation. Remember what the Lord Jesus Christ stated:

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 which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:21-23).
.
As the day grows darker - nationally and globally – trust not the many sincere-sounding voices of unbelieving deceivers who are out there, but may you find your hope and eternal expectations ONLY in Almighty God’s dear Son in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24).

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
