UPDATED: OHIO CONGRESSMAN TIM RYAN TEACHES NEW AGE MEDITATION TECHNIQUES OF "MINDFULNESS" TO CONGRESS AND SCHOOLCHILDREN

Tim Ryan, Democratic congressman from the rough and tumble Youngstown, Ohio area has had his book "A Mindful Nation" published by the foremost New Age publisher, Hay House, Inc., whose founder Louise Hay, is a new age teacher of "positive affirmations" as shown in:





His book promotes New Age meditation for schoolchildren and adults including his co-workers in Congress. As the videos show, this involves yoga. See article here: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57568552/ohio-congressmans-meditation-crusade/.

First, Ryan claims a Catholic priest taught him Catholic contemplative/mystical new age "centering prayer":

Ryan discusses his "mindfulness" techniques with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius:

INDIANA TEACHER WITH BACKBONE WANTS SEPARATE STRAIGHT PROM



JEWISH VOICE INTERVIEWS JONATHAN CAHN

Decide for yourself if the nine omens given to ancient Israel are applicable to America. Are there universal principles that apply to America in particular as they did to Israel? Why not the rest of the world? If 2012 was to be the end of the world, why are we still here in 2013? Why aren't the New Testament warnings, and the warnings of Jesus Himself, of the signs of the end not more believable and applicable if Christians are living under the New Covenant, and Cahn is a Messianic Two Testament Yeshua believer? Or does the Old Testament and other Jewish writings carry more weight with Cahn in this matter? Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn explains his book, "The Harbinger":


DOUG PAGITT OF SOLOMON'S PORCH HOSTS "INTERFAITH STUDIES" WITH RABBI JOSEPH EDELHEIT

    Since about January 2011, the emergent Doug Pagitt of Solomon's Porch and the "Yoga Sanctuary" in Minneapolis, Minnesota has been in dialogue and conversation, (as emergents are known for), with Messianic Jews and non-Messianic Jews, such as rabbi Joseph Edelheit, and as shown in a previous post of ours of the 2006 YouTube video about "Synagogue 3000" at:


    This was first reported by Apprising.org here: http://apprising.org/2011/02/03/doug-pagitt-excited-about-interfaith-powwows-at-solomons-porch/.
    We are adding the applicable YouTube videos of Pagitt, Edelheit from Pagitt Radio on the "Progressive Radio" station (Love 105) in Minneapolis, for the world's edification and information to show the willingness of "Christian" and Jewish emergents to mesh their commonalities, if any, and if possible. The desire for these is "engagement" in an ecumenical sense to counter religious extremism in its varied forms, making "religion work through religious leaders who bring 'vision' to the text of Scripture", and "finding a new way of being religious", without giving up true Christianity and true Judaism as they interpret them, as heard here:

MESSIANIC PASTOR DENIES BASIC TENETS OF CHRISTIANITY AT NRB-NATIONAL RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS CONVENTION

    We have been maintaining that Jews still hold to their Judaism even if they "accept" Yeshua in the Messianic congregations, in that they deny the divinity and humanity of Jesus, deny the Trinity, claim that the Messiah must be a man, and Jesus Christ's identification with the Father as one, problematic.
Here is the proof:
Reference is made to the 2011 article at http://jewishisrael.ning.com/profiles/blogs/tourism-ministry-promotes, wherein this statement is reported to have been made by Samuel Smadja, Israeli Messianic pastor to former state senator Henry Eugene "Hank" Erwin, Jr. of Alabama: (bold is ours):

"So, it was no surprise to see former Republican State Senator Henry Eugene "Hank" Erwin, Jr. of Alabama standing in front of the NRB Israeli exhibit and interviewing Israeli messianic pastor Samuel Smadja, who explained in great detail the obstacles involved in bringing Jews to Jesus. 
Excerpt: (As a reputed quote from Smadja):
"The second obstacle is the deity of the messiah.  The concept of the trinity or the concept of a messiah who is fully god and fully man is not a known concept for the Jewish people. They believe in a man as the messiah…That's why Paul, every time he writes to the Jewish people, puts an emphasis on the deity of the messiah.  And we all agree that christ was not crucified because of his healing or his teaching.  He was crucified only because he said, "me and my father are one" and that was the obstacle for the Jewish people, and that's still the obstacle until today".

PJTN-PROCLAIMING JUSTICE TO THE NATIONS

    It is certainly proper for Christians to support Israel and the Jewish people, to identify with them, and to be actively against the "New Semitism", as has been historically the norm in America for the most part, where the proof of such is borne out by survivors of the Holocaust who settled here for the freedoms they lost in Europe and the Middle East. Granted, there may now be liberal elements in the Christian world in America who side with Palestinians and the creation of a Palestinian state inside Israel as their own view on what might be called "justice", despite the Palestinians' history of terrorism.
    However, it is not true among most conservative Christians that they subscribe to a type of anti-Semitic and racist "replacement theology", whereby the Church is seen as totally replacing Israel's inheritance and promises. Rather, among most conservative Christians, the Church and Israel are seen as two distinct, co-existing entities, with their own unique heritage and understanding of the Scriptures, but not as adversaries. Most conservative Christians nevertheless, understandably and correctly view Israel as for the most part still rejecting Jesus Christ as Savior and as one of the three persons of the Trinity, with Israel and most Jews still hostile to Christians. That is, except for the Messianics who are still in the early stages of a kind of "ecumenical" fusion of Christianity and Judaism, which is offensive to both conservative Christians and conservative Jews, who see elements of heresy, mysticism, legalism, and universalism not as positive progress.
    The "New Semitism" should not in any way place an urgent mandate or requirement on Christians to renounce Christian beliefs, and/or adopt Judaism or Messianic/Hebraic Judaism, just because Jesus was a Jew, or that the apostles were Jews, or that our Christian faith appears to be based on Judaism in whole or in part. So, there should be some caution when considering the following ministry which purports to support Israel on the face of it, but which is actively seeking the religious, political, and spiritual involvement of Christians and Christian churches. Discernment should be exercised with this and any other ministry which has ecumenical endeavors, associations with dominionist, New Apostolic Reformation individuals and ministries, and Kingdom Now adherents of the Word of Faith movement, which would by nature of their philosophies and theologies, diminish and suppress the true gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of God in the Bible for the sake of their self-described urgent and righteous causes.
    It is also disappointing that a ministry like this makes no mention of Christian persecution around the world, killing of Christians in Arab/Muslim countries, confiscation and destruction of Christian owned property in these same countries, the fining and jailing of Christian homeschooling parents in Europe, and their children being turned over to the German Jugendamt for brainwashing.
    It is our opinion that notwithstanding the plight of Jews and Israel, the plight of persecuted Christians should also be "proclaimed to the nations".

UPDATE: Independently of PJTN, Ms. Moore has been appointed to the United Nations as special envoy to Middle Eastern affairs, as reported in the Nashville Scene, http://www.nashvillescene.com/pitw/archives/2011/10/27/laurie-cardoza-moore-appointed-un-special-envoy. In this article from October 27, 2011, it describes that at the UN, she serves in her capacity as the "World Council of Independent Christian Churches (WCICC) Special Non-Governmental Representative to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations". In her words: 
    "With so many organizations dedicated to humanitarian issues and human rights, it is imperative for all Bible believing Christians to help ensure that the UN respects the Judeo/Christian values as much as those of all of its 194 members. We live at a time when a 'new' anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world and Christians are being massacred by radical Islamic extremists. Unfortunately, world organizations have forgotten that the UN was created in response to Hitler and Europe's genocide against the Jewish people with the Holocaust. When my presence is seen in the UN, I hope it is immediately understood that I represent over 55 million Christians and Jews who believe in the promises God made."
    What is the WCICC? It is identified on its website http://www.wcicc.org/ as "a fellowship of churches, pastors, ministries, Christian schools and individual members in seventy-nine nations around the world. We provide a platform to independent churches that are deprived of the collective support and the privileges of mainline denominations. We encourage member churches to preserve our Christian heritage, and separation from doctrinal impurity. The WCICC provides direction to churches and members for faithful adherence to the Word of God".
WCICC's Doctrinal Statement is very conservatively Christian: http://www.wcicc.org/doctrine.html.  
    But, in addition, "As a member of the World Council of Independent Christian churches you have direct access to the ministries listed below. This group of annex ministries and related ministries of the World Council of Independent Christian Churches are here to assist you in your ministry". Listed among these "annex ministries" is the:

International Alliance of Independent Messianic Congregations and Synagogues http://www.iamcs.org/, A Ministry of the World Council of Independent Christian Churches, which clearly states its:

"MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the International Alliance of Independent Messianic Congregations and Synagogues is to renew the World Council of Independent Christian Churches commitment to the Jewish people and the Nation Israel. The World Council of Independent Christian Churches is committed to covenant partnership with Messianic Congregations internationally. Our mission is accomplished as we foster covenant membership with Messianic Congregations internationally whom share a Biblical understanding and belief in Yeshua the Mashiach/Jesus Christ. 
VISION STATEMENT:
The vision of the International Alliance of Independent Messianic Congregations and Synagogues is to restore Jewish Origins of Christianity to the Protestant Evangelical Church. The World Council of Independent Christian Churches is committed to a Biblical understanding of orthodoxy and orthopraxy within the doctrinal framework of Jewish Origins. The International Alliance of Independent Messianic Congregations and Synagogues seeks to restore orthodoxy and orthopraxy within the doctrinal framework of Jewish Origins of the Christian Faith to both Messianic Congregations and Gentile Churches".
    Why should it be necessary to "restore Jewish origins" to Protestant churches? For what purpose? 
    If Ms. Cardoza-Moore and Dr. Lupoli of WCICC are so actively pushing for the cause of truth and the exposure of this new anti-semitism coming from Muslims and allegedly from the Christian community at large, is part of the cure to transform evangelical Protestant churches into Messianic/Hebraic congregations as the key to fighting Muslim/Palestinian extremism and terrorism? If most Christians already believe in the rights of Jews and Israel to exist, why should our churches have to be Judaized if they already identify with Israel's and the Jewish peoples' rights to exist?

 Laurie Cardoza-Moore is the founder of PJTN and works with rabbis, Christian leaders, and Joseph Farah of World Net Daily. This is her profile as seen on the website for PJTN, http://www.pjtn.org/:

LAURIE CARDOZA MOORE

"FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT - PJTN"
"With over twenty years experience in media, Laurie has been part of over 500 film and video productions as spokeswoman, on-screen talent and producer.  At PJTN, Laurie shares her expertise through radio & television interviews and in briefings with media and Church leaders. Her primary engagement tool is film production and interviews. Laurie is an accomplished advocate who has represented issues related to families, women, children, faith and country.
Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Laurie’s career faced a turning point on 9/11 when she decided to focus her media and lobbying expertise on American security and Israel.
Laurie has active ties to leaders and activists alike throughout the media, governmental and faith communities in the US and Israel.
After founding PJTN in 2005, Laurie co-produced ‘Lest We Forget’, a documentary short that was a featured selection at the Liberty Film Festival. The film focuses on the history of Islamofacism and the war that the US and Israel wage against it today.
In 2007, Laurie co-produced the music video, ‘The Forgotten People’, which screened at the 11th Annual Hollywood Film Festival. It is a cry from the grave as six million Jews remind us to never forget the horrors of the holocaust and warn of the new one on the horizon.
Based on the success of the music video, she also PJTN’s first feature-length documentary that traces the roots of anti-Semitism and rise of a “new” anti-Semitism — a coalition of the far right, the left, and radical Islam.
As host of PJTN’s Evening of Prayer & Action at the NRB (National Religious Broadcasters Convention), Laurie stewards the donations at PJTN to impact the over 6,000 Christian global media participants in attendance. Because of PJTN, more Christians know how to recognize and act against the ‘new’ anti-Semitism."

FROM CATHOLIC TO NEW AGE MEDIUMS AND PSYCHICS TO KENNETH HAGIN, WORD OF FAITH HERETIC TO THE MESSIANIC YESHUA

    Here is the story and testimony of Lisa Buldo, health coach, http://lisabuldo.com/, who unfortunately has apparently not yet found the real Jesus Christ of the Bible and who is yet deceived by heretical and occultic Word of Faith and Messianic/Hebraic influences, which is a clear indication she is still under the influence of Satanic mystical "signs and wonders", coupled with "personal extra-biblical revelations" not originating from God but instead Satan. This is not much different from the addiction she once had to New Age mediums and psychics, which her Catholicism failed to help her out of.
    Let's pray that she comes to a realization that the Bible contains all there is to know about God, and that the Holy Spirit works through the revealed Word of God in the Bible, not through charismatic/pentecostal "signs and wonders" or the likes of those affiliated with TBN, who are in fact "Christianized" soothsayers, mediums and psychics deceiving millions. Let's also pray that she eventually becomes as outspoken about the truth of the Bible and is willing to expose everything she is currently involved in as being false and misleading. As for now, she is so deceived that she is unknowingly doing Satan's work herself and deceiving many with her teachings which have been distorted and twisted by her associations.
    Here is her testimony on YouTube, presented by Torahlife.TV, part of Torah Life Ministries http://torahlifeministries.org here:


and her testimony on Paul Crouch's heretical "Word of Faith" TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network):

Here are the Crouchs in all their prosperity gospel glory:


The same TBN where she is the moderator of the "Joy in Our Town" program:


Lisa Buldo has a revelation about death where you "transition, but never stop breathing", in this YouTube video entitled "You Never Really Die":


Lisa Buldo has an indirect revelation through a friend as seen here on the YouTube video entitled "I AM-A Powerful Revelation From God" which she interpreted as "I AM lives in you, the kingdom of God lives in you", a blasphemy, plus instructions from her about positive and negative confession, all of which is pure Word of Faith heresy. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that "I AM" lives in us; only a believer in Jesus Christ has the Holy Spirit living in him. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Kingdom of God lives in us, even if we are believers. The Kingdom of God will be established by Christ, when Christ comes again to reign and rule, and not a moment sooner, despite all the Kingdom Now theology being promoted by Word of Faith heretics, and it certainly will not be set up inside a believer.

Here in the video below, Buldo discusses "healthy eating" with the heretical Word of Faith pastrix Paula White who went to Rome with Benny Hinn, and stayed in the same hotel with him.
