I have written this article a while ago for our website under "Values & Absolutes" But I want to remind us that the lies & distortion is only getting worse, especially when it is regarding Israel, Trump, Islam & Immigration: We consider the Main Stream "legacy" media mostly anti-Christian, antisemitic, biased & unreliable, controlled & run by governments & corporations with left & woke ideologies, especially 'Downunder" And they are all lying (half-truths are also lies): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5uQqpZl2GG4 Seeing is no longer believing: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1566229504336626 A recommended alternative is: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sky+news+australia https://dailydeclaration.org.au/about/ https://harbingersdaily.com/ https://t.me/s/beholdisraelchannel (Am https://www.youtube.com/@TBNIsrael https://cbn.com/news https://goodsauce.news/ https://jamesmacpherson.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/topherfield https://www.youtube.com/@Erin_Molan/podcasts https://www.australiansagainstantisemitism.org/home https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1gxxeC0elWutUUmPEr74NA https://c4israel.com.au/articles/ https://thelightaustralia.com/ We are not necessarily agreeing with all the above resources, but you can not rely on the MSM in Australia for developing a truthful & Biblical worldview! This is something that most Australians already knew, besides the people still watching this biased, woke & wicked taxpayer funded broadcaster. An independent research group that investigated ABC's coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict compiled the findings into a 58-page report and submitted it to the Royal Commission. Below are just a few examples from the report that demonstrates: - How ABC used sick children with genetic disorders, portraying them as victims of starvation. - How ABC reported on a child allegedly killed by the Israeli army, while having evidence that this did not happen. - How, for emotional effect, ABC manipulated casualty figures, presenting absurd numbers as “shocking”, concealing killed militants, and portraying dead Palestinians as “mostly women and children”. - The report compares one of ABC’s Q&A programs dedicated to Gaza with “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov”, the main propaganda show on Russian TV, and demonstrate the similarities between them. - The report also demonstrate that ABC staff lack military knowledge regarding urban warfare, leading to the uncritical repetition of Hamas disinformation. It shows how ABC’s own broadcast footage proves the Israeli claims they cast doubt upon. These examples, and many more, can be found in the report that can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/ABC-of-hate

PASTORS, PLEASE STOP MISUSING “NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR HOUR”: Matthew 24:36 says: “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” That verse gets thrown around constantly whenever the rapture comes up. Someone starts talking about the catching away of the Church, and right away somebody says, “Well, no man knows the day or hour.” Amen. The verse is true. But please stop using it out of context. Matthew 24 is not Paul’s rapture doctrine. Matthew 24 is the Olivet Discourse. Jesus is answering questions about the temple, His coming, and the end of the age. Matthew 24:3 gives the frame: “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” That chapter is filled with tribulation and Second Coming language. Jesus talks about the abomination of desolation, Judaea fleeing, the Sabbath, great tribulation, false christs, cosmic signs, the Son of man coming in the clouds, and angels gathering the elect. That is not the same scene Paul gives in 1 Thessalonians 4, where the Lord descends, the dead in Christ rise, and believers are caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Matthew 24 is public, visible, judgment-connected, and tied to Israel, Jerusalem, and the tribulation. The rapture is the blessed hope of the Church. Now someone may say, “But the Second Coming is seven years after the covenant in Daniel 9, so wouldn’t they know the day?” Not exactly. Daniel gives the prophetic structure of the final week. The covenant is confirmed for one week. In the middle of the week, sacrifice and offering cease. That gives the framework. But Jesus still said no one knows the day or hour. That means the tribulation generation will be able to know the season. They will know the signs. They will know the abomination of desolation marks the final half. They will know they are near when they see the things Jesus described. But the exact day and hour of His appearing still belongs to the Father. Matthew 24:22 even says those days will be shortened for the elect’s sake. Daniel 12 also gives additional day counts of 1,290 and 1,335 days, which shows there are details around the close of that period that are more layered than simply saying, “Start the stopwatch and circle the date.” And then people bring up the other part of the verse: “No man knows… no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Some will say, “See, Jesus didn’t know. Only the Father knew.” Be careful with that argument. Jesus is not a created being. He is not less than the Father in deity. He is God the Son in human flesh. John 1:1 says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Colossians 2:9 says: “For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” So Matthew 24:36 cannot mean Jesus stopped being God or lacked divine nature. It means that in His earthly ministry, the Son lived in perfect submission to the Father. He humbled Himself, took on true humanity, and functioned according to the Father’s will. Philippians 2:7 says He “made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant.” That is the key. Jesus did not cease to be God. He did not become less divine. He voluntarily entered real humanity and did not operate independently from the Father’s appointed will. The same Jesus who said that also knew men’s thoughts, told the woman at the well her life, predicted His death and resurrection, described the future destruction of Jerusalem, and laid out the end-time sequence in Matthew 24. So the issue is not weakness in His deity. It is submission in His humanity. The Son was not ignorant like a sinner. He was obedient like the perfect Servant. Matthew 24:36 belongs in Matthew 24. It is about the day and hour of the Son of man coming in glory after the tribulation. Jesus was not telling the Church to ignore the blessed hope. He was not shutting down rapture teaching. He was not saying all prophecy study is pointless. And He definitely was not giving pastors a quick verse to flatten every discussion about the catching away. The rapture and the Second Coming are connected in God’s prophetic program, but they are not the same event. One is Christ coming for His Church. The other is Christ coming with power and great glory to judge the nations, rescue Israel, and establish His kingdom. So pastors, please handle the verse carefully. “No man knows the day or hour” is Scripture. Using it to erase the difference between the rapture and the Second Coming is not. And using it to deny the deity of Christ is even worse.

This is such a hot potato in the Christian world, but I still feel a strong leading to counteract "hyper grace" or "cheap grace" Before you shut me down or zone out: I am fully behind & in agreement with the fact that we are saved by grace and not by works so that no one can boast. This subtly false doctrine of "Once Saved Always Saved" is deeply ingrained in Denominations, Bible Schools & Seminaries & individual Pastors & Christians alike to the point they shut it out for further investigation & start crying & screaming: "Heresy", "False Doctrine", "False Teacher" or worse (as I have experienced) But what do you do with Scriptures like these & a multitude of similar ones: Romans 11:19-22 NKJV You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. Hebrews 6:4-5 NKJV For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. It is a bit the same in you teach on demonic deliverance, Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Believe in speaking Tongues or Miracles for today, or not use the Authorised KJV Bible. You will get heckled, accused, branded & judged by Christians who are supposed to have the fruit of the Holy Spirit in them. Why do so many react angry without willing to actually read & study for yourself the facts and then come to your conclusion. The teaching / message below is quite long for a blog, but for those who want to dig deeper please go ahead and be a "Berean". If it is to long or to complicated for you which I can understand then click on the links below: https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/the-danger-of-hyper-grace https://youtu.be/JCSWyl0YNy4 Most people have been taught: “You’re saved no matter what… grace covers everything.” But Jesus never taught that. The apostles never taught that. Scripture does not support that. What you’ve been told and what is written are not the same. SIN MUST BE OVERCOME YAHUSHA’S OWN WORDS SIN IS NOT TOLERATED Jesus did not die so people could continue in sin. He came to destroy it in you. John 5:14 “Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you.” John 8:11 “Go, and sin no more.” He did NOT say..... “Go… keep sinning, I’ll cover it.” CONTINUING IN SIN..... REJECTION OF HIM Matthew 7:21–23 “Not everyone that says to me, Master… shall enter the kingdom… Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.” Key truth..... These people believed in him They did works in his name Yet he REJECTED them Why? They practiced sin (lawlessness ). SIN IS LAWLESSNESS (NOT JUST “MISTAKES”) 1 John 3:4 “Sin is the transgression of the law.” So let’s be clear.... Sin is not vague Sin is breaking Jesus’s commandments If someone teaches the law is gone, they are removing the definition of sin. HIS DEATH DOES NOT COVER WILLFUL SIN This is where most deception enters. Hebrews 10:26–27 “If we sin wilfully after receiving the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins…” Read that again carefully AFTER knowing truth CONTINUING in sin = NO covering remains That destroys the “once saved, always saved in sin” doctrine. GRACE IS NOT PERMISSION TO SIN Romans 6:1–2 “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? THE LORD FORBID.” (clarifies NO) Romans 6:16 “You are servants to whom you obey… whether of sin unto death…” Grace is.... Power to overcome sin (allotted time to overcome your sins) Not permission to stay in it TRUE BELIEVERS STOP SINNING (They seek change) 1 John 3:6 “Whoever abides in him does not continue in sin.” 1 John 3:9 “Whoever is born of Elohim does not practice sin.” This doesn’t mean perfection overnight It means you are no longer living in sin as a lifestyle, you are allowing his spirit to convict and change your habits ect... WITHOUT HOLINESS — NO ENTRY plain and simple Hebrews 12:14 “Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.” Revelation 22:14–15 “Blessed are those who do his commandments… Outside are sinners…” The Kingdom has a boundary... Those who overcome sin → ENTER Those who remain in sin → OUTSIDE WHY THIS TRUTH IS HIDDEN Because it removes control systems. If people believe... “I’m saved no matter what I do”.. Then.... No repentance No transformation No fear of judgment That creates powerless believers, vain worshippers and false security.... Scripture teaches... Repent Turn Overcome Walk as Jesus walked WHAT JESUS ACTUALLY CAME TO DO...... Matthew 1:21 “He will save his people FROM their Sins ” Hard Truth here..... Not.... “in their sins” But.... FROM their sins TRUTH If you continue in sin.... You are not covered You are not abiding in him You will not enter the Kingdom If you overcome sin.... You are walking in him You are transformed You inherit life... Jesus himself showed you how to walk righteously and told you to follow in his footsteps. Sin was never in his..........footsteps.... and as we grow it is removed from ours. Our footsteps change our path....from the broad road to the narrow.. “Once saved always saved. I believe in Jesus and am saved by faith alone, so it doesn’t matter how I live because I’m going to heaven no matter what I do.” That is one of the devil’s greatest lies used to lead fake Christians to hell. You cannot follow Jesus while willingly returning to the very sin He calls you to repent of. The Bible never teaches that being “saved” means you can keep living in sin while convincing yourself you still follow God. You’re deceiving yourself and following the devil. Jesus will not lead you into sin, so if you truly follow Him, you will live holy. Those saved by grace don’t continue in sin. (Romans 6:1–2) Those who know Him keep His commandments. (1 John 2:3–4) Those who claim to have fellowship with God but walk in darkness are lying. (1 John 1:6–7) Those who live in sin are of the devil. (1 John 3:8) Without holiness, you will not see God. (Hebrews 12:14) People say: “Once saved always saved.” “I can still follow Jesus while living in sin.” “Nothing can separate me from God.” But Scripture warns that some will depart from the faith. You cannot depart from a faith you were never part of or walk away from Christ if you never followed Him. These warnings are directed toward believers, not unbelievers. It warns believers about developing an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God and about their hearts being hardened and deceived by sin. It says we are partakers of Christ if we hold our confidence steadfast unto the end. God does not force anyone to stay with Him. You have free will. You can remain faithful to Christ, or you can walk away and return to sin. That’s why the Bible repeatedly warns believers not to fall away, not to be deceived by sin, and to endure to the end. A relationship with Christ is not proven by how you start. It is proven by how you finish and whether you remain faithful to Him until the end. See less

Tattoos are normal now. Today people get tattoos of art, memories, family, loss, Scripture, crosses, names, symbols, and sometimes just because they thought it looked cool at the time. So the question is not, “Are tattoos popular?” They are. The real question is: What does the Bible actually say? The main verse people go to is Leviticus 19:28: “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” That is the clearest verse in Scripture connected to tattoo markings. The context is important. God is separating Israel from the pagan nations around them. These nations had practices connected to mourning the dead, idol worship, superstition, occult religion, and marking the body as part of pagan devotion. Israel was not supposed to look like the nations. They belonged to the LORD. That is why the verse ends with: “I am the LORD.” God was telling Israel, “You are Mine. Do not copy the pagan world around you.” Now we need to be honest with the text. The New Testament does not give the Church a direct command that says, “Thou shalt not get a tattoo.” We are not Israel under the Mosaic covenant at Sinai. So we should be careful about grabbing one verse from Leviticus, applying it flatly to every believer today, and then ignoring the rest of the chapter. But Christian liberty is not a license to be stupid. Just because the New Testament does not directly forbid something does not mean a believer should run straight into it without thinking. The question is not only, “Can I?” The better question is, “Should I?” Will it glorify God? Will it honor my body as belonging to the Lord? Will it help my testimony or hurt it? Am I doing this out of rebellion, pride, vanity, pain, impulse, attention-seeking, or pressure from people around me? Can I do it in faith with a clean conscience before God? Romans 14:23 says: “whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” That means if your conscience is not clear and you do it anyway, you are already in trouble. First Corinthians 6:19–20 says your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and that you are bought with a price. That does not mean every tattoo automatically defiles the temple. But it does mean your body is not yours to decorate, display, or brand any way you want without caring what God thinks. First Corinthians 10:31 gives the larger rule: “Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.” That includes what you put on your body. So is every tattoo automatically sinful? I do not believe Scripture gives us enough to say that. Can a tattoo be sinful? Absolutely. If it is rooted in rebellion, it is sin. If a child or teenager gets one against their parents’ command, it is sin because Ephesians 6 tells children to obey their parents. If it promotes lust, profanity, violence, occult symbols, false religion, pride, worldliness, or a life God saved you out of, then yes, there is a problem. If the motive is vanity, attention, rebellion, or trying to build an identity apart from Christ, that is not freedom. That is flesh. But ink by itself is not stronger than grace. Some believers already have tattoos from before they were saved. Some have marks from a past life, old pain, bad decisions, dead relationships, addiction, anger, rebellion, or seasons they are not proud of anymore. Here is the good news: Your old ink is not stronger than the blood of Jesus Christ. God does not need clean skin to give a man a clean heart. If you already have tattoos, bring your whole life under the Lordship of Christ and move forward. Do not live in shame over what Jesus already paid for. But if you are thinking about getting one now, slow down. Pray. Think long-term. Ask what it will say when you are older. Ask whether it points to Christ or just points back to you. Ask whether it helps your witness or muddies it. Ask whether you can honestly do it before God without twisting Scripture to excuse what your conscience is already warning you about. The Bible does not give the Church a simple New Testament command that says, “Never get a tattoo.” But it does command believers to belong to God completely. Body included. So the real question is not just. .“Can I get one?” The better question is, “Can I honestly do this for the glory of God?

There is so much biased news reporting on this conflict from the MSM, that sadly even many Christians are misinformed. Some of the worst offenders are the BBC & CNN. But sadly the Australian Media besides Sky News is also extremely negative & biased towards Israel. This interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef by Douglas Murray is excellent & gives a first hand account of what really is going on & that the problem runs much deeper: The problem is with this religion of hate that glorifies death & killing of people simply because they are not Muslim & especially if they are Jews or Christians. First they go after the "Saturday" people, then the "Sunday" people & then the "West" in general. The Jewish people are the "Canary in the coalmine" so to speak. Don't forget that the Islamic extremists hate Israel, America & the West with a passion. Sadly among the western nations, including Australia are many naive (especially among university educated) people, or should I say evil, sympathising with Islam & Hamas.

LAST SUPPER BILLBOARD APPEARS IN IRAN: A large highway billboard featuring The Last Supper has appeared in Iran. The billboard shows Jesus and His disciples seated at the table, with Persian text beside the image. The text translates roughly to: “The promised Messiah is coming.” In Islamic belief, Jesus (Isa) is considered the Messiah and Muslims also believe He will return before the Day of Judgment. Is this the fulfilment of ? Jeremiah 49:38 New King James Version I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord. Unexpected Opening For Gospel Outreach: Underground Church Thrives In Iran Amid War Despite the devastation and uncertainty brought by the ongoing conflict in Iran, a remarkable spiritual movement is quietly accelerating beneath the surface. Christian leaders report that the nation’s underground Church is not only enduring—but growing stronger—amid the chaos. Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs USA (VOM) told The Christian Post that the war has unintentionally created new openings for Gospel outreach. With government authorities focused on military operations and internal stability, enforcement against house churches has lessened in some areas. “The Lord works in mysterious ways,” Nettleton explained, noting that believers are finding increased opportunities to meet, evangelize, and distribute Scripture. VOM, which partners with underground church networks across Iran, has continued its mission despite logistical challenges. According to Nettleton, several thousand Bibles have been distributed since the conflict began earlier this year—fueling a growing hunger for God’s Word among Iranians searching for hope. One underground fellowship, forced to flee its city due to nearby attacks, chose to remain together rather than scatter. What began as displacement turned into revival. “They turned it into a church camp,” Nettleton said, describing a season of worship, teaching, and deep spiritual strengthening among the group. Field reports indicate that many believers are boldly sharing their faith during this time of crisis. With death and uncertainty surrounding them, Iranians are increasingly asking eternal questions—opening doors for one-on-one Gospel conversations in homes and cafés, even amid communication blackouts. According to Open Doors, Iran ranks among the most dangerous countries in the world for Christians, with converts from Islam facing imprisonment, interrogation, and social rejection. Yet, paradoxically, the Church continues to grow rapidly. Recent estimates suggest that Iran is home to one of the fastest-growing Christian populations in the world. Over the past 25 years, the number of believers has surged from a few hundred thousand to over 1 million, with some ministry estimates placing the broader movement—including seekers and underground participants—at several million. This extraordinary growth has occurred almost entirely through house churches and personal evangelism. Even more striking is the attitude of believers on the ground. Nettleton said no Christian connected with VOM has asked to flee the country. Instead, many view this moment as divinely appointed. “This is a turning point; this is a spiritual turning point for Iran,” believers told him. “We want to be here… to see the harvest.” Christian leaders are now calling on the global Church to pray for protection, provision, and boldness. As shortages, economic strain, and instability increase, so too does the urgency of the Gospel message.

𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑠 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 There is a spirit in Scripture that doesn’t always come loudly— it comes subtly. It doesn’t always attack from the outside— it works from within. It is called Jezebel. Not just a historical figure… but a spiritual influence that still operates today. 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐉𝐄𝐙𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐋? Jezebel was a queen in Israel, but more importantly, she was a carrier of a corrupting influence. “𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝐴ℎ𝑎𝑏, 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑖𝑚𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑙… 𝑢𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑏𝑦 𝐽𝑒𝑧𝑒𝑏𝑒𝑙 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑓𝑒.” — 1 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 21:25 She promoted: Idolatry over worship Control over surrender Seduction over holiness And her greatest weapon? Influence without authority. THE SPIRIT OF CONTROL The Jezebel spirit does not trust God—it must control outcomes, people, and environments. It operates through: Domination in relationships Emotional pressure and intimidation Fear-based manipulation Instead of leading through truth, it forces through control. But Scripture reminds us: God leads—He does not manipulate. THE SPIRIT OF MANIPULATION Manipulation is witchcraft in disguise. “For rebellion is as the sin of divination…” — 1 Samuel 15:23 Jezebel manipulates by: Twisting truth Playing victim Using guilt to gain power It creates confusion, making wrong appear right and right appear extreme. This is how truth becomes blurred—and compromise begins. THE SPIRIT OF SEDUCTION This is where Jezebel is most dangerous. Not just physical seduction— but spiritual compromise. In the New Testament, the same spirit appears again: “You tolerate that woman Jezebel… by her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality…” — Revelation 2:20 Seduction here means: Drawing believers away from purity Normalizing sin Making compromise feel acceptable It whispers: “It’s not that serious.” “God understands.” “You deserve this.” But behind that whisper… is destruction. WHY THIS SPIRIT TARGETS LEADERS AND BELIEVERS Jezebel doesn’t attack randomly. It targets: Those with influence Those walking in calling Those pursuing holiness Why? Because if it can silence your voice… it can stop God’s work through you. Just like Elijah—after calling down fire from heaven— was threatened into fear and isolation. One voice of intimidation nearly silenced a prophet. HOW DO WE OVERCOME? God does not leave us powerless. 1. Discern the Spirit Not everything that feels spiritual is from God. Test: The fruit The motive The outcome 2. Stand in Truth Jezebel thrives where truth is compromised. Truth breaks manipulation. 3. Walk in Authority, Not Emotion Do not respond emotionally—respond spiritually. Stay grounded in the Word Stay submitted to God Stay led by the Holy Spirit 4. Refuse to Tolerate What God Condemns “You tolerate that woman Jezebel…” — Revelation 2:20 Tolerance of evil opens doors for destruction. FINAL WORD: THIS IS A WAR FOR YOUR SOUL This is not just about a person… it is about a spiritual battle for control over hearts and minds. The Jezebel spirit wants: Your attention Your compromise Your silence But God is raising a generation that will: Speak truth boldly Walk in purity Reject manipulation DECLARATION You are not called to be controlled. You are not called to be manipulated. You are not called to compromise. You are called to walk in truth, authority, and freedom. CALL TO ACTION If this opened your eyes, share this. Someone you know is silently battling this influence. Expose it. Break it. Walk free.

This would also largely apply to the Greek / Russian Orthodox, JW's , Mormons & 7th Day Adventists, as they believe in God but trust in tradition, works, wrongly translated Scripture, wrong interpretations & commentaries (I would even include Hyper Calvinists in this category) & other "sacred" writings & making them equal or higher than the Biblical final authority. If you are going to share the Gospel with Catholics etc, stop making the mistake of starting with Mary, statues, candles, the pope, or every side issue people like to argue about. Start with the Gospel. A lot of Catholics already use Christian language. They will say they believe Jesus is the Son of God. They will say He died on the cross. They will say He rose again. So the issue is usually not whether they know the right names and events. The issue is what they are trusting in. Are they trusting in Christ alone, or are they trusting in Christ plus the church system? Christ plus sacraments. Christ plus confession. Christ plus penance. Christ plus religious duty. Christ plus their own effort. That is where the real conversation needs to go. Do not waste the whole discussion chasing branches when the root is sitting right there. Ask simple questions. What are you trusting in to be saved? If you died today, why should God let you into heaven? Do you believe Jesus finished the work completely, or do you believe the church helps keep that work going through the sacramental system? That gets to the real issue fast. Because the Gospel is not that Jesus made salvation possible and now the church helps distribute it. The Gospel is not that Christ opened the door and the sinner must keep himself in grace through rituals and religious performance. The Gospel is that Christ paid the debt in full, rose again, and saves completely those who trust in Him. That is why the Bible says what it says. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith… not of works.” Romans 4:5 says God justifies “him that worketh not, but believeth.” Titus 3:5 says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done.” And in John 19:30, Jesus said, “It is finished.” If it is finished, then no priest is finishing it. No sacrament is finishing it. No penance is finishing it. No church system is finishing it. Christ finished it. That does not mean the conversation has to be harsh. You do not need to come in acting like every Catholic is your enemy. A lot of them have never clearly heard the biblical Gospel separated from the Roman system. Many have spent their whole life under a religious structure that keeps them looking to rituals, priests, confession, and performance instead of resting fully in the finished work of Christ. Some of them are exhausted. Some of them are scared. Some of them have spent years trying to be good enough, clean enough, faithful enough, and religious enough, and still have no assurance. That is where the true Gospel shines. You are not offering them a better denomination. You are not trying to win them to Protestant culture. You are pointing them to the only Saviour who actually saves. Jesus did not come to create a system where sinners spend their lives wondering if they have done enough. He came to save sinners. Completely. So keep bringing it back to the one question that matters most. How is a guilty sinner made right with a holy God? Not by works. Not by ritual. Not by church membership. Not by sacraments. Not by human priests. By grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone. That is the message. And that is exactly why so many religious people stumble over it. Because man loves systems where he can still feel involved in earning something. But the Gospel crushes human pride. It tells the sinner that he brings nothing but guilt, and Christ brings everything. That is the message Catholics need too. Not more religion. Not more ritual. Not more Rome. They need Christ. The real Christ. The sufficient Christ. The crucified and risen Christ. The Christ who saves to the uttermost all who come to God by Him. If they will stop trusting in the system and trust in the Saviour, that is where life begins.

As a church we need to: Look up (Worship) Look in (Teach & preach the Word) Look out (Witness) Scriptures to encourages us to be witnesses: Matthew 9:38 New King James Version Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.” Matthew 28:18-20 New Living Translation 18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 1 Peter 3:15 New International Version But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, Luke 15:7 New King James Version I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. Luke 15:10 New Living Translation In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.” Below are some links that can be great & helpful tools to equip you: J.John "How to share the Gospel with someone" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx-wnK8isWk J.John "Natural Evangelism: The practice of praying, caring & sharing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWl80jMEGic J.John "How to be more effective in sharing the Gospel" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4AMWPP95eQ The Living Waters Website with Ray Comfort, which has many wonderful resources & "tools": https://livingwaters.com/outreach/school-of-biblical-evangelism/ How to share the Gospel with Catholics & similar Mainstream Denominations, Sects & Cults like to the Greek / Russian Orthodox, JW's , Mormons & 7th Day Adventists, as they believe in God but trust in tradition, works, wrongly translated Scripture, wrong interpretations & commentaries (I would even include Hyper Calvinists in this category) & other "sacred" writings & making them equal or higher than the Biblical final authority. https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/how-to-share-the-gospel-with-catholics We can also help you at church by providing resources like : Various Gospel tracts, The Gospel of John & the Greg Laurie New Believer's Bible depending on the need & where the person is at, you want to share the Good News with. We will not charge you for these resources, but ask you to use them wisely & prayerfully. We are not all evangelists of course, but we can all be witnesses of what the Lord has done in our lives. In today’s world, we feel a lot of pressure to be good apologists. (Defender of the faith) We worry that people demand ‘proof’ and perfect arguments. We sense inadequacy to ‘give an answer’ as the Apostle Peter writes. But not everyone is a wordsmith or a rhetorician. It is encouraging to reflect on the description of Jesus in Revelation 1 as “the Faithful Witness.” See, a witness does not need evidence. A witness is evidence. In a courtroom, a witness will describe what they’ve seen and they will state plainly what they know to be true from their direct experience. They don’t have to say “how” a thing happened, or explain “why” something they saw is so. They just say it as they know it. And it is entered as evidence. In the gospels, we never see Jesus in the process of figuring out truth. He just states it plainly. Neither does he spend a lot of time trying to prove Himself or prove His claims. It is often said that He “spoke with authority” – and that is seen in the way He simply stated the truth He knew. He is being a witness. “…we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen…” (John 3:11) He was a witness to God and to the truth, whether or not He proved it with argument. He was a witness as soon as He simply declared what He knew it in His words and conducted Himself accordingly. At His ascension, Jesus said, “You will be my witnesses… to the end of the earth.” Don’t underestimate the power of mere witness. If your life is the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ, it is witnessing. If your words are true to what you know or have experienced, that is witnessing. This is what Jesus asks of you, and this is what He did. Tell people you’re a Christian. Conduct yourself in a manner worthy of Christ. Say what you know to be true. You may never be a genius apologist, but you have been His witness

The reals below explains it clearly. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1913686269517452 https://www.facebook.com/reel/1267624675276324 You might have picked up that a lot of my blogs are warning against this. Yes I know we live in the last days & all these things are prophesied. But that does not relieve us from warning people & being a watchmen, trusting & believing that people will wake up & bring them to salvation in Jesus Christ. As it is God's will that all men come to the knowledge of the Truth. I am fed up with: *Seeing Palestinian flags in Australia (flags of a nation that actually doesn't exist, but stand for the annihilation of the Jewish people) *Protests representing Islamic Terrorist Organisations (they should be treated as traitors, in the same way they dealt with Nazi sympathiser & collaborators after WW2) *The attacks on Israel (without any knowledge of history & facts) *The lies from the Media about the whole Middle East conflict (Due to fact that most of the media in Australia is woke & far left & representing the red & green alliance) *Islam being called "a religion of peace" (you must be either delusional or a sympathiser of the most violent religion ever created) *The spinelessness & cowardice from many in Government (incl. from the so-called "centre-right") *When concerned citizens bring up the "Elephant in the Room" & are the called "Islamophobic" Criticism Is Not a Phobia I’ve seen this image shared many times, and regardless of whether people agree with every word on it or not, it raises a larger question that deserves serious discussion. In modern society, we often blur two very different things: criticism of an ideology and hatred of people. These are not the same. Questioning a religion, its teachings, or its political influence should never automatically be labelled as fear or hatred. Every major belief system, from Christianity to communism to capitalism, is debated openly, criticised openly, and held to scrutiny, because that is how free societies evolve. The word Islamophobia is often used as a shield to shut down discussion instead of engaging with the points being raised. Genuine bigotry against Muslims absolutely exists and should be rejected, just as racism or antisemitism should be rejected, but disagreement with religious ideas or concern about political interpretations of those ideas is not the same thing as prejudice. History shows that progress happens when ideas are questioned, not when they are placed beyond criticism. We question governments, political ideologies, and social systems because power without scrutiny becomes dangerous. Religion should not be exempt from that same standard. At the same time, criticism must remain fair and focused on ideas, not on ordinary people simply living their lives. The goal should always be debate, reform, and understanding, not division or hostility, however, if like Islam is doing today, it’s overtaken by extremists who are dictating a narrative where millions are being moved to do what Islam instructs, people can’t be expected to sit by and watch it all happen. Point and case Iran, the Iranian people aren’t tip toeing around being politically correct and the word Islamophobe. They’re literally fighting for their lives. In the end, a confident belief system should be able to withstand questions. Free speech is not about protecting comfortable opinions, it is about allowing uncomfortable conversations so truth can be tested openly. Palestine is nearly free from HAMAS thanks to the IDF These protesters have no clue about the middle east. Trump has already began to try bring a 20 point peace plan to the region, however. There's only so much you can do when the region is occupied by HAMAS. Now I'm not here to defend what anyone has done. Everyone, everywhere deserves to live safe and free. Israel is NOT occupying Palestine. Israel is NOT your enemy. There is NO genocide. This is Australia We have had a gutful of your disgusting protests. If you really care for Palestine. Shut up, Go there, and stop Hamas. Oh while I am on this topic, I have my guts full of Islam still being called a religion of peace! The Paradox of Islam and Islamism Islam is a 1,400-year-old faith followed by over 2 billion people worldwide. For the vast majority, it remains a personal religion focused on prayer, charity, fasting, moral living, and spiritual guidance. Islamism is entirely different. It is a modern political ideology that insists Sharia (Islamic law) must become the official law of the state — dictating governance, courts, punishments, family matters, and public life. This is the ideological foundation that drives radical groups seeking to enforce it through any means necessary. Here is the stark paradox the world keeps avoiding: We constantly hear “Not all Muslims are radicals” or “The vast majority are peaceful.” But if so, where is this peaceful majority when radical violence is committed in the name of their faith? A conservative estimate, grounded in long-term Pew Research trends and related polls on justification of suicide bombings, violence against civilians, or sympathy for jihadist groups (al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc.), places the radicalized fringe — those who actively support or justify extreme Islamist terrorism — at roughly 7% of the global Muslim population. That equals 140 million people. 140 million is not a vague “support base.” It is an army-sized pool of individuals radicalized enough to sympathize with, recruit for, fund, or directly participate in terror: 9/11-style attacks, October 7 massacres, suicide bombings, beheadings, and global jihadist networks. This number dwarfs the standing armies of most nations and explains how such threats persist across continents despite military defeats. And that is only the violent, committed core. The deeper paradox lies in the much larger group: In the biggest Muslim-majority countries (home to most of the world’s Muslims), overwhelming majorities openly favor making Sharia the official law of the land — the precise political objective of Islamism: • Malaysia → 93% • Bangladesh → ~90% • Indonesia → 64–89% (recent surveys) • Pakistan → 84% • Nigeria → ~75% These figures come directly from Pew Research Centre data (with updates through 2025). That is hundreds of millions who want the very system Islamism fights to impose. How can so many claim to be “peaceful” and reject terrorism while demanding Sharia — the ideological fuel that powers the radicals? They cannot have it both ways. Supporting Sharia as state law means endorsing the framework that justifies Islamist extremism. Silence in the face of terror carried out for that goal is not neutrality — it is tacit approval. When the “peaceful majority” refuses to confront or reject the ideology in their midst, they enable it. Silence = complicity. Compare this to other faiths for clarity: • Christianity has produced political ideologies (historical theocracies, modern Christian nationalism in some corners), but mainstream Christianity today does not sponsor global terror networks, demand canon law by force, or generate 140 million sympathizers for suicide bombings. • Judaism has no parallel at all. There is no Jewish political movement seeking to impose Halacha worldwide through violence, no Jewish terror organizations operating globally, no equivalent pool of millions ready to die for a theocratic conquest. Israel is a secular democracy with Jewish identity — not a theocracy exporting religious law through jihad. Only Islamism combines widespread popular demand for religious law + a large radicalized minority willing to kill for it + a majority that stays silent or quietly aligns with the end goal. This is the hidden darkness within parts of the Muslim world today — camouflaged by slogans, rebranded as “culture,” and shielded from scrutiny. We must shine a powerful lighthouse beam directly into this shadow. Ignoring it will not make it disappear — it will only allow it to grow until it engulfs more innocents. The paradox is not that “not all Muslims” are radicals. The paradox is that the radicals are enabled by a much larger ideological sympathy and a deafening silence — and the world pretends otherwise. The Common Thread Here is how nations and institutions are lost. History shows it is often a predictable, step-by-step process. This pattern applies to Islam and to modern liberalism alike. For our purposes, I will outline the strategy historically used to advance Islam and to bring entire societies under Islamic rule. I am not speaking of cultural Muslims, but of radicalized Islam, which is driven by the goal of domination. 1. INFILTRATE Immigration has become the primary means by which Islamists gain access to non-Muslim nations. Historically, Islam expanded by the sword. In more recent times—Europe being the clearest example—the strategy has shifted. Large-scale immigration replaces open conquest. 2. POPULATE Once established, rather than integrating into the host culture, enclaves are formed. More wives are imported. Through polygamy and high birth rates, Islamic populations grow rapidly, often outpacing the native population. 3. AGITATE Millions of Muslims live on public assistance, which affords time and resources to protest, march, and wave foreign flags in our streets. The Muslim call to prayer—once unthinkable in the West—is now openly broadcast in places like Michigan and New York City. Empty-minded liberals celebrate this as “diversity,” when in reality it is an enemy assault. 4. CONTAMINATE Democracy was uniquely sustained by Christian peoples who governed themselves with shared moral assumptions. Free nations cannot survive without common language, customs, values, and secure borders. Islam is not merely a religion; it is a totalizing revolutionary worldview, historically rooted in conquest and submission. 5. SUBORDINATE Intimidation is the means of subjugation. The intentions are no longer hidden. Recent protests—such as those in Michigan—openly denounce America and call for Sharia law. I have long wondered why the United States uses its military to defend Saudi Arabia, a nation where Bibles are forbidden and Christianity is illegal? 6. DOMINATE Why did Christianity disappear from the Middle East? The answer is tragically simple. Christians were persecuted, driven out, and murdered. But the crisis to our nation does not end with external threats. We also face homegrown anarchists who despise the nation they inhabit. Liberals, socialist Democrats, and what some have aptly described as “crazy white women” have come out of hiding, openly declaring their contempt for the West as it was founded. Roughly half the population now rejects biblical morality outright. In many palce abortion has been allowed by law up to the moment of birth. Nations that willingly sacrifice their children will not merely experience judgment—they are already deeply under the judgment of God. The restraints of conscience have been severed. An apostatized Church bears enormous responsibility for this collapse and move toward secularism. When the Gospel was removed from pulpits-God abandoned those congregations. The absence of biblical preaching gave way to strong delusion. With no power to transform hearts, religionists drifted into social activism, abandoning the proclamation of Christ and Him crucified. Scores of these churches now openly denounce the truths they were founded upon. So here we are. Yet God still calls His remnant people to proclaim truth as it is, to people as they are. Hear this clearly: If you will not stand for truth in your local church, you will never stand for God in society. Many evangelical churches have already been infiltrated, contaminated, and are now dominated by anti-Christian beliefs, practices, and leaders. Few examples are more pungent than the United Methodist Church and its descent into open depravity. If you find this offensive, I urge you to study history. This pattern is neither new nor unique. It has been repeated again and again. The strategy is proven. The trajectory is clear. There is only one antidote to this destructive onslaught: repentance, revival and reformation.

From Slovakia and Romania to France, the Netherlands and Hungary, the European Commission has been accused of using NGOs, media funding and censorship pressure to shape political outcomes. Now, those same allegations are being levelled in the South Caucasus, where Armenia has become a key battleground in the wider geopolitical struggle between the West, Russia and China. Nick Dunning investigates claims that EU support for Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is helping enable the persecution of opposition figures, the targeting of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the silencing of dissent ahead of a crucial national election. Human rights attorney Tatevik Soghoyan describes how ordinary citizens, journalists, clergy and opposition MPs have faced arrest, prosecution and surveillance simply for criticising the government. Attorney Aram Vardevanyan details the case of billionaire Samvel Karapetyan - now considered Armenia’s leading political prisoner - who was arrested after defending the Church against government attacks. We also examine the shocking case of 18-year-old David Minasyan, allegedly beaten inside a church by Pashinyan’s security team before being jailed on hooliganism charges. Strong Armenia’s candidate for Prime Minister Narek Karapetyan explains why his uncle Samvel remains under house arrest as the opposition gains momentum in the polls, while lawyer Robert Amsterdam, who has now formally served legal papers on Ursula von der Leyen, warns Brussels that its continued funding and political backing of Pashinyan risks making the EU complicit in serious human rights abuses. Amsterdam accuses Pashinyan of behaving like a “post-Soviet dictator,” persecuting political opponents, attacking the Church, and rewriting Armenia’s national identity while the EU prepares to deploy a new “anti-destabilisation mission” and its controversial Hybrid Rapid Response Team. Why is Brussels backing a government accused of political prosecutions and repression? Is the EU protecting democracy, or interfering in it? https://www.facebook.com/reel/1843248833020064 We didn’t vote them in. Let’s stop pretending we did. When a party forms government with around 34% of the primary vote, that is not a clear mandate. That means two-thirds of Australians did not choose them as their first preference. They didn’t win because most Australians wanted them. They won because the system shuffled preferences until someone was left standing. That might be legal, but don’t insult people’s intelligence by calling it consent. Australians are told, “You voted for this.” No, we didn’t. What we’re watching now isn’t representation, it’s procedure. A system where power is handed to a minority and then defended with technicalities. A system where parliament increasingly feels less like the voice of the people and more like a very expensive buy, swap, and sell marketplace. Votes traded for deals. Support exchanged for amendments. Backroom agreements while everyday Australians are locked out of the conversation. And once they’re in power, they govern like they have a blank cheque, pushing through laws, limiting debate, and acting shocked when trust collapses. Democracy isn’t just about ticking a box on election day. It’s about legitimacy. It’s about consent. It’s about the majority actually having a say. When governments rule with a third of the vote and silence dissent through procedure, people are right to question whether the system is working for them anymore. So no, don’t say “we voted them in.” We didn’t. And the more they ignore that reality, the more Australians will stop believing this system represents them at all.
