Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson Announces He Wants No Part in Christianity Anymore
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Hillsong worship leader Marty Sampson announced on Instagram Friday that he’s “genuinely losing his faith”—and he’s not upset about it.

Over the past few years, there has been a tidal wave of contemporary Christian church leaders who have dramatically announced they are ‘leaving the faith’ because they no longer believe the Bible is true. Just two weeks ago, Joshua Harris, author of ‘I Kissed Dating Goodbye‘ decided he had had enough and walked away. Baptist pastors write editorials in USA Today telling Christians to ‘apologize to the LGBTQ+‘, and Jesse Duplantis still needs $54 million for that new jet. Now one of the original Hillsong worship leaders and writer of popular Christian music Marty Sampson says he doesn’t want to be a Christian anymore. Hmm. 🤔

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1,2 (KJV)

One of the great tragedies of the modern ‘seeker sensitive‘ church movement is that they created converts based on their feelings rather than on the word of God. Why are the modern megachurches filled to overflowing on a Sunday morning? Because they come for the music, and the fun, and the coffee shop in the lobby, and they love how good they feel when the service is over. And none of that is biblical, and none of that is the gospel of the grace of God.

“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 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, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV)

The Bible when preached in truth and power tells you exactly who and what you are, a lowly sinner who deserves Hell who God saved anyway because He loved you. That’s where the gospel starts, it starts with you headed for Hell until Jesus stepped in and paid your debt, and then you accepted that free gift. How does that make you feel? First it makes you feel terrible when you realize that He had to die because you are sinner. And then when you think on that awhile, it makes you feel glad beyond measure that He loved you so much to be willing to die in your place.

It’s a hard truth, but it’s a hard truth that heals you, saves you, redeems you and restores you. Any church that doesn’t preach on Hell is no church at all by Bible standards.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16 (KJV)

But when all you are fed is peppy, upbeat ‘worship songs’ with their endless and mind-deadening repetitive choruses, in ‘church services’ that make you applaud everything that is said and done, you are spiritually dead and empty inside, unable to weather the storms of life so you eventually quit like Marty did and all the others have done. Charles Spurgeon warned that the time would come when instead of pastors feeding the sheep, the church would be filled with clowns entertaining the goats. That day is here.

Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson Announces He Wants No Part in Christianity Anymore

FROM CHARISMA MAGAZINE: Marty Sampson was one of Hillsong United’s original worship leaders and wrote and co-wrote hundreds of praise songs including hits like “Now that You’re Near,” “King of Majesty,” “O Praise the Name,” “For Who You Are” and “Open Heaven.”

In his post—which has since been deleted, along with the rest of the artist’s Instagram posts—he included a picture of what appears to be Samson bringing down the pillars of the Philistine temple in Judges 16. He writes that the more he thinks about it, the more Christianity seems just like every other religion, and he doesn’t want any part of it anymore:

“Christians can be some of the most judgmental people on the planet—they can also be some of the most beautiful and loving people … but it’s not for me. I am not in any more. I want genuine truth. Not the ‘I just believe it’ kind of truth. Science keeps piercing the truth of every religion. Lots of things help people change their lives, not just one version of God.”

Sampson also points to apparent contradictions in the Bible and the church as a reason he’s leaving the faith.

“How many preachers fall?” he asks. “Many. No one talks about it. How many miracles happen? Not many. No one talks about it. Why is the Bible full of contradictions? No one talks about it. How can God be love yet send 4 billion people to a place, all coz [sic] they don’t believe? No one talks about it.”

Cultural commentator Michael Brown challenges Sampson’s assertions that no one talks about these issues.

Brown points to the countless articles that were written in Christian and secular media when Joshua Harris announced his departure from the faith two weeks ago. For commentary on miracles and supposed contradictions in the Bible, Brown says there are plenty of books.

“Well, I’m thrilled to hear he wants ‘genuine truth’ as opposed to simply taking things by faith,” Brown says. “But I must ask once more, ‘What Christian world has he been living in?”

Despite leaving Christianity, Sampson says he still holds onto what he believes is good about spirituality: “Love and forgive absolutely. Be kind absolutely. Be generous and do good to others absolutely. Some things are good no matter what you believe. Let the rain fall, the sun will come up tomorrow.”

In the wake of Sampson’s announcement, Brown encourages Christians everywhere not to be afraid of asking the hard questions. And he prays Sampson’s heart would genuinely know the truth.

“My prayer is that Marty Sampson would have the integrity of heart to seek the truth earnestly, with humility and passion, and that all others with questions will put those questions on the table. … Let’s pray for Marty’s repentance, restoration and more.” READ MORE

The Enemies Of Israel Take Over Times Square In New York To Stage A Massive Pro-Iran Anti-Zionist Rally Funded Through George Soros Proxy Groups

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The ‘Solidarity of Iran rally’ was organized by the socialist pro-Palestine Bronx Anti-War coalition, which called for support for ‘the brave Iranian and Palestinian people’ and the end of the state of Israel

The Bible says that in the last days, the state of Israel would be a hated and despised entity, and that the Jews would become a ‘proverb’ and a ‘byword’. Read the book of Lamentations sometime, just about everything you read there will be fulfilled again during the upcoming time of Jacob’s trouble. The most recent anti-Israel rally that was held the other day in Socialist New York is an excellent illustration of the global hatred of the state of Israel.

“Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.” 2 Chronicles 7:20 (KJB)

If you are one of those people like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and all the others who utterly despise the nation of Israel, pay close attention to the verse posted right above what you’re reading right now. God absolutely will judge His people the Jews, and according to the Bible, will cast them out of the land of Israel and allow the armies of Antichrist to come in and destroy everything. Isn’t that great? Doesn’t that make you happy, you Jew-hater, you? But enjoy it while it lasts because after that 7-year time, God is going to come and set up His Kingdom right in the very land you hate so much right now. And the Jews you want to see driven into the sea? They will be your masters. I can’t wait. Am Yisrael Chai.

‘Iran, Iran makes us proud! Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!’ shouted pro-Islamic Republic protesters in New York’s Times Square.

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The “Solidarity with Iran” rally was organized by the socialist, pro-Palestinian Bronx Anti-War coalition, which called for people to come out in “full force to support the brave Iranian and Palestinian people fighting for all free people worldwide.”

“Iran is defending itself against terrorist aggression from the US and Zionist regimes,” the group said.

According to videos and statements from the rally, protesters chanted, “US drones in the sky, Iran’s missiles will reply!” and “Courts and talks won’t set us free, resistance brings victory!” as well as calling for Tel Aviv to be burned to the ground. Many posters and flags were also held up, including Iranian regime flags, posters saying “a genocidal apartheid state has no right to exist,” and pictures of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi, and Qasem Soleimani.

Multiple members of the fringe anti-Zionist Jewish group Neturei Karta were also there, many of whom were standing on Israeli flags. Videos also circulated on social media of a man dressed as Jesus in Times Square, wearing only a loincloth and covered from head to toe in fake blood, shouting, “F*** Israel,” while attached to a homemade crucifix with the same words.

Just a day earlier, The People’s Forum NYC held a similar rally in Times Square alongside Nodutdol (a Marxist, diasporic Korean organization) “to oppose the Zionist war on Iran [sic].”

“We must not be deceived by Rubio’s lies,” one group member said. “The idea [that] Israel acted unilaterally in bombing Iran is a total fiction.

“By pushing the Zionist attack dog to strike Iran in the middle of diplomatic negotiations, Trump has shown the world that his word and the word of all US imperialists are worthless.”

The group then called for the severance of US financial and military aid to Israel, as well as “international, working-class solidarity against the war-profiteering corporations using mayhem and genocide to line their pockets.” READ MORE

June 19th Is The 23rd Of Sivan In The Hebrew Calendar, And What Happened On That Day In The Book Of Esther May Portend The Next Phase Of Israel’s War With Iran

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In the book of Esther, King Ahasuerus on Sivan 23 issued the decree authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies, June 19th is Sivan 23.

Sometimes in the Bible you find an amazing nugget, other times you find some fascinating coincidence. This one from the book of Esther is one of those two things, and we will let the reader decide. In Esther 8, we see Mordecai on the authority of King Ahasuerus have a writing written which authorized the Jews to rise up against their enemies, which result in the ‘good day’ celebrated every year on the Feast of Purim. Sivan 23 was not only a ‘good day’ for the Jews, it was a game-changer of a day. Do you know what tomorrow, June 19th is, on the Hebrew calendar? The 23rd of Sivan. That’s the memo.

“Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.” Esther 8:9 (KJB)

How does this tie in with the war in the Middle East happening right now between Israel and Iran? For the past 72 hours, Donald Trump has dropped clue after clue that he is planning on the United States striking the Iranian nuclear plants, and taking them out. With each passing day, the chatter regarding when this might be has swelled to a fever pitch. For this to happen on Thursday, the 23rd of Sivan in the Hebrew calendar, would place it squarely between an amazing coincidence and a true biblical nugget. Donald Trump as King Ahasuerus ‘issuing a decree’ and authorizing the Jews to defeat their enemies on the exact same day it happened in the book of Esther? Game on.

President Trump has approved of plans to attack Iran, maybe on Sivan 23

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: US President Donald Trump told senior aides that he approved of plans to attack Iran, but he is waiting to see if Iran will abandon its nuclear program before giving the final order, three sources familiar with the discussions said to the Wall Street Journal.

As previously reported by The Jerusalem Post, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran. The WSJ reported that when Trump was asked earlier if he had decided whether to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities, the president said, “I may do it, I may not do it.”

He also repeated his insistence on Iran’s unconditional surrender: “The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.” On Wednesday, Trump reportedly arranged for a meeting with Iranian Foreign Ministry officials.

On Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender, as Iranians jammed the highways out of Tehran, fleeing from intensified Israeli airstrikes. He warned that if US attacked Iran warned that if it attacked Iran, the United States “without doubt will face irreparable harm.” READ MORE

Pentagon Orders The Nuclear-Powered USS Ford To Middle East To Join With USS Vinson And USS Nimitz In Massive Display Of American Military Might

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The US Navy’s newest and biggest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is set be deployed to the Mediterranean in show of American military might in Middle East

The Pentagon is right now sending a message to world at large that, even though it is Israel who is involved in a conflict with Iran over nuclear weapons, it is the United States who will ultimately determine its fate. Talk about a memo! Over the next few days, the Mediterranean region will be host to the USS Gerald R. Ford, the USS Carl Vinson and the soon-to-be retired USS Nimitz. If World War 3 does break out, America will be in pole position. That’s the memo.

“They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.” Ezekiel 28:8 (KJB)

President Trump spoke Wednesday morning to reporters about the Israel-Iran conflict. When asked if the US plans to strike Iran, Trump replied “I may do it, I may not do it,” adding “nobody knows what I’m gonna do.” That’s about sums it up, no one knows just what Donald Trump is going to do, including Donald Trump. Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday. At this point, a US strike on Iran is all but certain.

US moves its newest super carrier USS Gerald Ford to Mediterranean as massive military hardware buildup near Iran continues

FROM THE NY POST: The USS Ford, America’s flagship 1,100-foot nuclear-powered carrier, is expected to be sent to Europe as soon as next week, making it the third US aircraft carrier group in the region, CNN’s Senior National Reporter Zachary Cohen reported on Wednesday. It’s the latest public movement of military hardware to the region as the Iran-Israel conflict ratchets up.

The $13 billion carrier’s deployment — likely to the Mediterranean Sea — had been scheduled last year, sources to the network. But, it will still be seen as an unmistakable sign of increased global tensions surrounding the ongoing air strikes between Israel and Iran.

The Ford will join the USS Carl Vinson, which is already in the Persian Gulf, and the USS Nimitz — which the US announced it was sending from Southeast Asia earlier this week.

It comes after President Trump teased a possible US strike on Iran following the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected calls for unconditional surrender.

Several other US warships have left a US naval base in Bahrain as part of increased military movements around Iran, it was reported on Wednesday. Aerial refueling tankers have also been sent to the region. READ MORE
