At the end of this article is an email from David Jeremiah’s
office. It is in response to a question concerning
his involvement with New Age/Roman Catholic Roma Downey and her husband Mark
Burnett. There is no answer in the
response to the question of why Jeremiah joined with Downey and Burnett to
write two books for “A.D.: The Bible Continues.”
I watched the interview of Downey and Burnett in Jeremiah’s
church at the link provided. As I
listened to Downey and Burnett explain their production, several thoughts came
to mind.
First, I thought, “Wolves, sheep’s clothing.” In other words, there is no superficial way
to determine that they are not true Christians.
However, their fruit is New Age mysticism combined with Roman Catholicism. Their
production, “A.D.: The Bible Continues,” in my opinion is a mixture of truth,
heresy, and extra-biblical material. It
is perplexing that professing Christians continue to watch their films and
celebrity preachers continue to grovel before them.
Second, I was impressed how well Downey has learned, and
understands how to execute, Christian-speak.
She fluently spoke the language
of Christians while claiming the Holy Spirit’s involvement in their work. But then, she is an actor. I wouldn't expect anything less than a
perfect overlay of her words with no glaring glitches. It reminds me of another New Age professing
Christian (an oxymoron), Oprah Winfrey, that allegedly received coaching of how
to Christian-speak. I believe that
diabolical individuals have realized that Christian-speak is the only
requirement for being accepted as a Christian in this present great apostasy.
Next, I thought of how this generation has ceased gathering scriptural
knowledge themselves, depending on other people to do all the work for
them. They merely receive it via a
pastor or teleheritic, or perhaps religious music. So I wondered how long before Downey and
Burnett’s work will be turned into a “Bible”.
Perhaps it might become an apocrypha of sorts with the included “bible”
subjected to its embellishments and distortions.
Then I thought of Jeremiah’s customer service (?)
representative Alyssa Huey’s statement that people would see Downey and
Burnett’s “passion to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the formation of
the early Church to a secular world.” I've
witnessed secular producers being passionate about secular productions. Likewise, D & B’s passion to present
their miniseries is not evidence that it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I wonder how many people will be drawn into
the New Age Movement or Roman Catholicism through the series.
Jeremiah appears to believe that God necessarily needs what
they are doing to reach the secular world.
I believe that there is no greater power than the true Word of God
imparted and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
However, I concede that it is much different today than it was in the
last century. Much of the world is
dependent on technology. Information is
increasingly being disseminated and gathered by technological means. Most Americans have lazy minds. They've been “dumbed down” by the public
education system, and are heavily dependent on visuals and sensual attraction.
Concurrently, the majority of Christians have nearly ceased
witnessing to the lost, and present no public example of Christianity. The door
is wide open for deceivers to completely reap a harvest. The
blunt truth is that there appears to be no Christian alternative to
D&B. Their easy access into Christianity
has been made possible by the incredible invasion of hirelings and heretics
that introduced and established New Age heresy.
Additionally, one should
consider that David Jeremiah has become a proponent of Contemplative
Spirituality. It might be worth noting
that every professing Christian that comes out in favor of Contemplative Spirituality
(e.g., Rick Warren, George Wood, David Jeremiah, etcetera) immediately exhibits
total lack of discernment, and abandons all objections to the most diabolical
individuals ever endorsed and permitted to “minister” to Christians.
Christianity is no doubt in a period of great apostasy and
it is going to get worse. I believe that
it is the final one before the Antichrist and False Prophet appears. If I am correct, it will be a time of great
deception so clever and intense that even the very elect would be deceived, if
that were possible (Matthew 24:24).
Finally, there are these verses in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 that predict a period of diabolical and
extremely powerful lying signs and wonders.
God’s word does not say exactly by what means these lying signs and
wonders will be conveyed to the world. However,
I know that television is an outlet for many lying signs and wonders. Special effects can make any lie, no matter
how incredible it is, appear as truth. Hollywood
has been in the process of, as I heard a Drama professor once say, “making evil
appear beautiful” for a long time. I do
not trust New Age Roman Catholic producers and their Celebrity preacher shills to
distribute truth through a medium notorious for lying signs and wonders,
especially in a time of apostasy.
Eventually,
professing Christians must cease ignoring the signs that something it not right
with certain people and their activities, including celebrity preachers. They must stop explaining away the anomalies,
effectively giving them, and the beguiling merchants of religious sleaze whom
they embrace, a pass.
If the cleverness
of deception continues improving, we may have only the Holy Spirit’s warning that
someone or something is not of God. We
do not want to be drawn into deception in this dangerous period. There is at the present ample and visible
information to make the right decision about Downey, Burnett, and Contemplative
supporter, Jeremiah. If that information
and the warnings are ignored again, as they were in D & B’s previous
videos, eventually the ignorers will be unable to discern any deception.
Another factor is
completely clear. There is an unintended
effect of the volume of critiques and detailed information about the Downey and
Burnett and their projects. It appears
to be having little effect on the deceived masses. However, D & B seem to be employing the
criticism as a means of quality control to refine their public persona. Having already mastered Christian-speak, at
some point, further expose’ of them and all heretics will be fruitless. If people have not locked onto truth by then,
perhaps they never will.
Because they
reject love for truth, “God will send them strong delusion, that they should
believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the
truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:
