Evangelical/Ecumenical Leaders Together in “The Gathering” Raises Serious Questions
SEE: http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/newsletters/2016/newsletter20160620.htm#1A2republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

On June 13, Lighthouse Trails reported on an event called Together 2016 that will take place this summer in Washington DC. We explained that organizer Nick Hall was bringing together evangelical, emerging, charismatic, and Catholic leaders for the ecumenical purpose of uniting together. A special video appearance by Pope Francis will be part of the event. A similar event (but without the Pope) has been announced. The Gathering: A National Solemn Assembly will take place in September in Dallas, Texas, and while there doesn’t appear to be any direct promotion of the Roman Catholic religion as there is with Together 2016, there is a definite united-we-stand-regardless-of-our-beliefs scenario in The Gathering.
leadersThe Gathering motto is “One Vision, One Voice, One Agenda.” The mission statement says:
The Gathering has one purpose: to unite the Body of Christ in America – all believers, regardless of race, age, or denomination – in prayer for forgiveness, wisdom, and provision for our nation.
To further explain its purpose, The Gathering website states:

Whenever a solemn assembly or sacred gathering has been called in Scripture, it has usually been called by those in leadership – whether that be a priest, prophet or king – and it has usually been called for leadership first. Even in America, our historical records verify that prior to every national awakening, the spiritual leadership of the day has placed a heavy emphasis on gathering in smaller groups for fasting and prayer which then led to larger gatherings and greater change.
National revival must begin in the heart and in the home before it can spread throughout communities and nations.
But a question that begs an answer is: What would “national revival” look like considering the condition of the church and its leaders today?
For example, James Robison, one of the speakers at The Gathering, has shown on many occasions his ecumenical stance with regard to the Catholic Church. For instance, Robison stated in 2014: “I believe there is an important spiritual awakening beginning in the hearts of those truly committed to Christ in the Protestant and Catholic communities. Is it possible that Pope Francis may prove to be an answer not only to the prayers of Catholics, but also those known as Protestants?” (emphasis added) (*see below)
At least two of the speakers at The Gathering, Priscilla Shirer and Max Lucado, promote contemplative spirituality  (a belief system that Christian leaders continue to ignore even though it has been the cause of New Age occultic practices coming into the church).
Two of the speakers at The Gathering – Greg Laurie and James Robison – have both endorsed a book by Steve Berger, Have Heart, in which Berger promotes the idea of necromancy.  Laurie has also promoted the ecumenical Rick Warren on different occasions – see more)
Ann Graham Lotz (another Gathering speaker) recently sent out a letter to her followers promoting prayer circles and an ancient mystic named Honi. When she was challenged about this, she responded by defending her statements on Honi and prayer circles. We are not saying this suddenly makes Lotz a contemplative advocate, but why would a Christian leader promote a ritual of prayer circles yet say nothing of warning about mystical practices that have entered the church?
Nick Hall (another Gathering speaker) is the man who is directing the Together 2016 that will occur in July in Washington DC, in which Pope Francis will deliver a video message of unity. There’s no question about his ecumenical persuasions.
Bishop Ray Sutton
Bishop Ray Sutton of The Gathering is Dean of the Province and Ecumenical Affairs of the Anglican Church in North America and is involved in a number of ecumenical (road to Rome) activities. Sutton also advocates for the Catholic transubstantiation of the communion elements (a re-crucifixion of Christ) (click here and here for some more information on Sutton).
And last, Gathering speaker Leith Anderson is an early pioneer in the emerging church movement. Anderson once said:
The only way to cope and be effective during this period of structural change in society is to change some of the ways we view our world and the church. It is what some call a paradigm shift—a new way of looking at something. Such a shift will allow us to view our changing world with new perspective. It is like a map. Old maps from 1950 may have sufficed before the construction of interstate highways and the expansion of major cities, but new maps are needed now. Likewise, we need a paradigm shift for the future. (A Church for the 21st Century, p. 17).
Sadly, the evangelical church has gone through that paradigm shift now and presents a “new” Christianity (progressive, emerging, ecumenical, contemplative).
Christian leaders are hoping for a “spiritual” or “national awakening,” but how can the nation be awakened spiritually (and biblically) when Christian leaders are leading “the Body of Christ in America” in the wrong direction and not in a manner that is in accordance with the Word of God?
How is it so many Christian leaders find it so vital to show spiritual comradeship with all people, thinking this is how the world can be saved? We’re not talking about humanity sharing a common kindness and respect toward one another or about people of different social, racial, and political views working together in various projects and efforts. We are talking about spiritual unity. While a Christian can (and should) live together in peace and harmony among fellow humans as much as is possible, there cannot be spiritual communion or fellowship with those outside the biblical faith (which is that faith solely focused on the Gospel message of Jesus Christ through His atoning work on the Cross as the only means of salvation).
How can Christian leaders help our nation when so many of them are deceived themselves and partaking in (whether they realize it or not) blurring the lines that separate the Gospel of Jesus Christ from every other belief system? At the risk of upsetting people who admire and follow some of these leaders, these figures have become the blind leading the blind. They promote all kinds of dangerous and unbiblical ideas, books, practices, and people and show no remorse, humility, or willingness to change when they are challenged for doing these things. These things ought not to be so by those claiming to be the leaders of the Christian church.

Gun Control: What Happens When You Beat A Caged Animal?


If the Feds Want a War -- they WILL get it.

And here it is…Connecticut Senator Murphy led the way!  Under the guise of ‘universal background checks’ – a seemingly ‘reasonable’ measure – Senate Democrats are moving towards complete and total government control of weapons transfers.  This would effectively do away with legal transfers between family members, as well as private sales.  They are ratcheting up the rhetoric against semi-automatic rifles and are going to use their sacrificed protected group as the banner to rally round.

Now, Homeland Security (an illegal government entity to begin with) chief Jeh Johnson is advocating for full, unconstitutional control of your weapons.  So, let me get this one straight.  An illegal, unconstitutional entity that can’t even decide the best way to keep toothpaste ‘safe’ is the best one suited to enforce the Bill of Rights?  Try again, Jeh.

The current ball being batted around is that of the Terrorist Watch list or No Fly list being the litmus test for gun sales.  It seems reasonable right?  WRONG.  Let me tell you how freaking dangerous this is.

Those lists are beyond the law, beyond the courts.  They are almost impossible to redress.  Many Americans wrongfully or erroneously have been placed on them with zero to no recourse for removal.  Friends, it is EXTREMELY important that you understand this.  If the government can STRIP you of one of the rights GUARANTEED in the Bill of Rights without due process, there is NO failsafe.  If this were to go through, it would be equivalent to warrantless searches, government suppression of free speech, quartering of troops in YOUR home, and forced interrogations with waterboarding --or worse-- on ANYONE. 

Patriot Nurse, you’re totally blowing this out of proportion!  No, I’m not.  This is a very dangerous – and I mean freaking DANGEROUS initiative.

The Bill of Rights is a list of the rights we are guaranteed AGAINST our government.  That’s Tom Jefferson’s perspective, not mine—and I think he is better suited to comment than I.

Moreover, the country is divided to the point where half of the country hates, despises, the other half.  If this initiative goes through, you are going to see violence.  But wait, isn’t that what the Left is (supposedly) trying to prevent?  Violence and senseless death.

I have a guarantee for the Left.  If you make further moves on guns, the caged and abused animal of freedom-loving Americans who have been poked with sticks and slapped by spoiled children sucking lollipops is going to be unleashed.  An assault weapons ban will not be met with the same passivity as in 1994.  The stakes are higher now, and we have fewer options as a country for redressing grievances.

If the Left wants to reduce violence, they should cease and desist with their gun control efforts now -- before they play a hand that WILL result in chaos.

Facebook Censorship of Florida Massacre - Facebook Banned Me!

Screw you, Facebook -- and your Patriarchy

Today, as I'm typing this, there are 53 dead Floridians at the hand of a self-described "proud Muslim."  Let that sink in a minute.  53 people, and most likely that number will increase, who will not be at someone's Thanksgiving, Christmas, or birthday party ever again.  Brought to you proudly by a supporter of the Islamic State, a traitorous BORN CITIZEN of Afghani immigrants(read people we sheltered, fed, supported and PAID for with taxpayer funds)... and proud Muslim.

Facebook deemed these facts (and their posting by yours truly) as hate speech.  Subsequent to a viral post, I was notified that I was, effectively, in Facebook Time-out.

After being blocked by Facebook for calling the cold hard truth what it is, I have finally decided to open up my own blog portion of the website.  There is nothing quite so invigorating as being told to shut up.

I have gotten VERY tired of a self-loathing liberal with his own security detail dictating what is and isn't hate speech.  Fine, Markey.  You can have your hate-speech free zone.   Your mindless minions may suck down the piquant sauce of deluded comfort and candlelight vigils, but the unassimilated masses of Freedom-loving Americans are not going to be silenced or intimidated by a computer nerd with a hard-on for control and white-guilt.

Incidentally, I am not alone in being a Facebook outcast, as Pamela Geller's page was ALSO shut down today.  Apparently we are both a threat.  Want to know the truth?  The government and it's tech minions are SCRAMBLING...furiously and frantically scrambling to control a caged and abused animal (freedom-loving Americans) lashing out after repeatedly being savaged and jolted from its would-be handlers.

A Muslim terrorist killed those people.  The gun didn't seek out its prey -- the shooter did. The left may and will continue to prod and poke and cajole.  However, we will not yield our rights or our weapons.  In fact, against an enemy so vile, an armed and well-trained populace is the only resistance suitable.  This isn't a war for hearts and minds -- it is a war of flesh, bone, sight picture and concrete reality.  Evil people with violence and bloodlust will ALWAYS seek to sacrifice the unarmed.  We must defend ourselves from within and without now.  Social media be damned with its avatar changes and pins.  The time is upon us where every free citizen will be fighting for his or her life against a foreign invader or the resident malignancy of the Federal government and its abuses of power.

OBAMINATION:

ALLAH NOT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE

Published on Jun 20, 2016
In the latest Orwellian move by the Obama administration, an edited version of the Orlando shooter's 911 call seems to show him saying "Praise God" when he actually said an Islamic prayer. Not only will this protect Islam while attacking Christianity, it will also rewrite history in favor of the White House narrative that the attack was more about the Nation's gun problem, not Islamic terrorism.

DOJ REPLACES ‘ALLAH’ WITH ‘GOD’ IN EDITED ORLANDO TERRORIST TRANSCRIPT

Obama protecting Islam while attacking Christianity

BY KIT DANIELS
SEE: http://www.infowars.com/doj-replaces-allah-with-god-in-edited-orlando-terrorist-transcript/republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

The Justice Department replaced references to ‘Allah’ with ‘God’ in an edited transcript of the 911 call Orlando jihadi Omar Mateen made during the Pulse night club attack.
During the call, Omar Mateen made an Islamic prayer in which he said:
Praise be to Allah, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of Allah [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
In comparison, the edited DOJ transcript says:
Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
It’s obvious the Obama administration is doing everything it can to downplay the Islamic connection to the attack, all while demonizing Christians and gun owners.
“His very first words are the Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله‎‎, ‘In the name of Allah’), the Islamic prayer,” commentator Pamela Geller revealed. “It’s what terror-tied CAIR chants in every press conference and press release.”
“[The Obama administration] knew right away and they have been deceiving the American people ever since, protecting and defending the ideology they calls for our destruction.”
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the DOJ would remove references to Islamic terrorism from the transcript.
“What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” she said. “We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State].”

READ Orlando Jihadi 9/11 Phone Call Transcripts: “In the name of Allah the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]” “Praise be to Allah, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of Allah”

BY PAMELA GELLER
SEE: http://pamelageller.com/2016/06/iorlando-jihad-allah-allah-allah.html/republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The Department of Justice redacted Islam and ISIS from the Orlando jihadi’s transcript. But even so, it is riddled with Islam. It reads like a Muslim prayer session.  In other words, it is all he spoke of. His very first words are the Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله‎‎, “In the name of Allah”), the Islamic prayer. It’s what terror-tied CAIR chants in every press conference and press release.
Omar Mateen: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]
Omar Mateen: Praise be to  Allah, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of Allah [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
So they knew. They knew right away and they have been deceiving the American people ever since, protecting and defending the ideology they calls for our destruction.
Remember, the 911 Muslim terrorists mentioned Allah 90 times in their last martyrdom letters.
Omar Mateen, the Orlando jihadi, iidentified himself as an Islamic soldier who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
Not only did Obama’s sharia compliant Department of Justice censor Islam and the Islamic State from Orlando jihadi Omar Mateen’s 911 call transcripts, they changed Allah to god as if we worship the same diety. And this was done in the name of every religion.
The Obama administration thinks they can magically make the Islamic threat disappear if they pretend it doesn’t exist. Which is why thousands more will die in this country, hundreds of thousands more across the world.
You’ll notice no mention of gays or hatred of gays – the motive Obama assigns to this Islamic slaughter.
“FBI provides investigative update on Orlando nightclub massacre”, BNO News, Mon, June 20, 201:
— STARTS —
Investigative Update Regarding Pulse Nightclub Shooting
 ORLANDO – In order to provide an update on the progress of the investigation into the Pulse nightclub shooting, the FBI is releasing an excerpt from the timeline of events inside the Pulse nightclub during the early morning hours of Sunday, June 12, 2016. Out of respect for the victims of this horrific tragedy, law enforcement will not be releasing audio of the shooter’s 911 calls at this time,nor will law enforcement be releasing audio or transcripts of the calls made by victims at the Pulse nightclub during the incident. Furthermore, the name of the shooter and that of the person/group to whom he pledged allegiance are omitted.
The following is based on Orlando Police Department (OPD) radio communication (times are approximate):
2:02 a.m.: OPD call transmitted multiple shots fired at Pulse nightclub.
2:04a.m.: Additional OPD officers arrived on scene.
2:08 a.m.: Officers from various law enforcement agencies made entrance to Pulse and engaged the shooter.
2:18 a.m.: OPD S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons & Tactics) initiated a full call-out.
2:35 a.m.: Shooter contacted a 911 operator from inside Pulse. The call lasted approximately 50 seconds, the details of which are set out below:
Orlando Police Dispatcher (OD)
Shooter (OM)
OD: Emergency 911, this is being recorded.
OM: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]
OD: What?
OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
OD: What’s your name?
OM: My name is I pledge of allegiance to [omitted].
OD: Ok, What’s your name?
OM: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted].
OD: Alright, where are you at?
OM: In Orlando.
OD: Where in Orlando?
[End of call.]
(Shortly thereafter, the shooter engaged in three conversations with OPD’s Crisis Negotiation Team.)
2:48 a.m.: First crisis negotiation call occurred lasting approximately nine minutes.
3:03 a.m.: Second crisis negotiation call occurred lasting approximately 16 minutes.
3:24 a.m.: Third crisis negotiation call occurred lasting approximately three minutes.
In these calls, the shooter, who identified himself as an Islamic soldier, told the crisis negotiator that he was the person who pledged his allegiance to [omitted], and told the negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq and that is why he was “out here right now.” When the crisis negotiator asked the shooter what he had done, the shooter stated, “No, you already know what I did.” The shooter continued, stating,“There is some vehicle outside that has some bombs, just to let you know. You people are gonna get it, and I’m gonna ignite it if they try to do anything stupid.” Later in the call with the crisis negotiator, the shooter stated that he had a vest, and further described it as the kind they “used in France.” The shooter later stated, “In the next few days, you’re going to see more of this type of action going on.” The shooter hung up and multiple attempts to get in touch with him were unsuccessful.
4:21 a.m.: OPD pulled an air conditioning unit out of a Pulse dressing room window for victims to evacuate.
(While the FBI will not be releasing transcripts of OPD communication with victims, significant information obtained from those victims allowed OPD to gain knowledge of the situation inside Pulse.)
4:29 a.m.: As victims were being rescued, they told OPD the shooter said he was going to put four vests with bombs on victims within 15 minutes.
(An immediate search of the shooter’s vehicle on scene and inside Pulse ultimately revealed no vest or improvised explosive device.)
5:02 a.m.: OPD SWAT and OCSO Hazardous Device Team began to breach wall with explosive charge and armored vehicle to make entry.
5:14 a.m.: OPD radio communication stated that shots were fired.
5:15 a.m.: OPD radio communication stated that OPD engaged the suspect and the suspect was reported down.
Based on OPD radio communications, there were no reports of shots being fired inside Pulse between the initial exchange of gunfire between responding officers and shooter, and the time of the final breach. During this time, the shooter communicated with an OPD 911 operator and an OPD crisis negotiator, and OPD radio communications reported that victims were being rescued.
The FBI urges the public to provide information about the shooter and any contact they may have had with him. Since the release of the FBI’s Seeking Information poster, the FBI has received thousands of tips. The FBI will investigate every tip. To provide a tip, please call1-800- CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov.
