In response to Dave's comment below. J oel Osteen is a far cry from being a traditional, bible believing Christian. 25 years ago he would have been considered a cult himself by traditoinalist Christians.

Osteen is more on the guidlines of a motivational speaker. More in line with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale or Robert Schuller. The power of positive thinking is their doctrine. They claim Christianity because they would not have many followers if they claimed otherwise.

Go to You Tube and type in "Joel Osteen on larry King". King asks osteen if Jesus is the only way to heaven? And Joel's reply was inadeqaute at best. Herectical at worst.

The Catholic Church and all mainline Protestant denominations have been infiltrated by Jesuits and Masons. And it seems the Talmudic Jews are the puppet masters controlling the whole show.

Good piece, James.

As usual, this year is shaping up to another "Heads they win, tails we lose" election.

Bilderberg has chosen an unelectable CFR/Zionist Wall St.stooge, to run against their current stooge and they are in the process of selecting another globalist, open borders stooge for his running mate. They may as well choose Lindsay Graham hoping for the homosexual vote as choose Rubio in hopes of getting the Hispanic vote or Alan West in hope of getting the black vote.

The benighted masses may well fall for it, but the controllers know exactly what they are doing. Minorities will always vote the "D" to get it all fo free; independents who oppose war and the burgeoning deficit are the voters the reflubs need to attract if there is to be any hope of defeating the African. Real Americans may have been able to hold their noses and vote for Hanoi John in '08 with Palin on the ticket, but we can not do so for Romney with another liberal on the ticket with him.

Hans said (April 26, 2012):

The topic raises the question of who is a Christian, and what is a Christian.

The Bible clearly states that false Christs (anti - in stead of) - Christs will rise to power, preaching a false gospel.

The mormons teach a fake Christ, one who was born human and "rose" to be God - a typical masonic / new age myth.

In fact Christ is God, who became human.

And the Bible warns from adding to scripture, while the mormons add an entire book - the book of mormon!

Finally, a Christian is someone who DOES THE WILL OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, and NOT all who recite religious formulas.

From the entry on Brigham Young in the (now out-of-print) encyclopedia, "10,000 Famous Freemasons", compiled by the masonic Missouri Lodge of Research:

"Although his Masonic membership has not been proved, there are several reasons why it is thought that he belonged to the Craft: apparently, all the leaders, as well as large numbers of the rank and file of the Mormon Church in the Nauvoo period, were members of Nauvoo Lodges, for when the cornerstoneof the Masonic Temple at Nauvoo (which had been deposited there on June 24, 1843) was opened on June 24, 1954 by officials of the Mormon Church from Salt Lake City, a list of 50 Mormon-Masons who had signed a document as being present on the historic occasion in 1843, included the name of Brigham Young; in a booklet entitled The City of the Saints in Picture and Story, printed by the Deseret News in 1906, there is a picture of Young as governor of Utah, and shown in this picture in the center of his shirt front is the conventional Masonic emblem-the square and compasses; furthermore, in the History of Utah, written by Apostle Orson F. Whitney, it is stated, 'A Masonic Temple was likewise projected at Nauvoo, and Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young, and other leading Mormons became Freemasons.'"

Having visited the Mormon Temple in Utah, I can testify to all of the occult and Masonic symbols on the architecture there. Hexagrams, pentagrams, Masonic handshakes, and even the all-seeing eye are just some of the bizzare symbols and images you can find.

Osteen sees Mormons as fellow Christians

"When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that he's the Christ, raised from the dead, that he's his savior - that's good enough for me," Osteen said in an interview that aired on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."

While Osteen said Mormonism is "not traditional Christianity," he believes Mormons fall under the Christian tent.

"Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ," the pastor argued. That goes a big step further than many other Christian leaders, who have not gone so far to say that Romney is unquestionably Christian.

Osteen also told Blitzer that he believes President Barack Obama is a committed Christian.

Ross said (April 26, 2012):

As I read this article I went back in my mind to a book I read years ago about religious cults, specifically the Latter Day Saints, the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Christian Scientists. This book (I’m afraid it was many years ago and I do not remember the title or the author) pointed out that Joseph Smith began as a novelist and founded his church when he realized a new religion could be much more profitable than a literary career.

(Echoes of L. Ron Hubbard and the Church of Scientology...)

Rodney said (April 26, 2012):

Just wait until Obama's campaign opens up the can of worms about Mitt Romney's strange religion. It's funny not a single Republican brought it up as of yet. The media has been mostly silent until just recently.

It will be Romney's proverbial nail in the coffin. Mormons believe that blacks were cursed with black skin, polygamy, many gods,etc., ad infinitum. Romney can't beat Obama because of this.

Ron paul can beat Obama. Keeping him as a terrible one term president with the likes of Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson. The reason Ron Paul would beat Obama are many. But the one major deciding factor is that there are approximately 20-25 million independents,undecideds, disenfranchised voters out there. Many of these are voters who voted for Obama the first time around but are now put off by him and will not vote for him a second time. But they will not vote for Mitt Romney.

Conservative Christians who consider themselves Republicans will not vote for a Mormon. They know it is a cult, but probably don't realize it is satanic.These will be the votes that put Ron Paul over the top.

If Ron paul were the Republican nominee for President. Republuican voters would vote for Paul even if 25% of them will be holding their nose when they do it. Those 25% don't like him because of his foreign policy mainly. But they really can't stand the thought of Obama getting a second term. Another 4 years of Obama and they know it will be too late. America will be too far gone down the Socialist/Marxist agenda to turn back.

Did you know that the Southern Baptist had a huge split about 20 years ago. Some say the split was because of freemasonry. Half went with the Masons and the other half stayed true to tenets of the Baptist faith. And in the south Baptist are the majority Protestant denomination. Go figure. Masons and Mormons are one in the same. And conservative Christians don't even realize it.

Ken said (April 25, 2012):

I have been reading your articles for years and found the one about Mormonism to have hit home. I am not a Mormon but happen to be married to one and I agree with everything said in the article by James.

One thing James did not mention or may not have known is that Brigham Young attempted to have the whole Mormon church rolled into Freemasonry at one point in time. That is the cause for a lot of the similarity in their ceremonies.

Also, your everyday Mormon is a genuinely caring person who does not fully understand or want to understand the “problems” with their religion. In this, they are similar to lower level masons who do not have all of the knowledge of the upper levels. They believe that theirs is the perfect Christian religion descending straight from the original Apostles to Joseph Smith.

Any Bible scripture that does not uphold their base tenets or contradicts the Book of Mormon is said to be improperly translated, with only the Book of Mormon believed to be perfect. I have always said that the best lie is one with a large dose of truth and I believe this to be the case with the Mormon religion. Lucifer does not care if you worship him as long as you do not worship God. Keep up the good fight.
