Hillsong Pastor Explains Why You Should Let Your Child Trick-or-Treat, Despite Warning: ‘Spiritual Darkness Is Surrounding Everything’
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

He pointed out that while there are still witches, warlocks, and pagans that consider Halloween a high festival, Christians took power away from the dark even ages ago.

Hillsong Church pastor Nathan Finochio has a message for Christian parents across America – let your kids celebrate the Devil’s holiday of Halloween because if you don’t you will teach them that the world has more fun than they do. I kid you not, but buckle up snowflakes, because it gets a lot worse than that.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.” Ephesians 5:8-12 (KJV)

Try your best to contain your anger when reading the article below from Faithwire and their interview with “pastor” Finochio. I say that because his main point of argument is based on things that were done in the early Roman Catholic Church as they merged paganism with Christianity to form the satanic hybrid known as Roman Catholicism. Oh yeah, baby, that’s how the snow blows, Hillsong promoting Catholicism? File that under “old news”, they’ve been doing that for some time now. Click on the graphic below to see for yourself.

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:3,4 (KJV)

The Church that Jesus shed His own blood for should never engage in things like Halloween that are so heavily associated with the Devil and the works of darkness. If you want to teach your kids real spiritual values, then have them hand out tracts with candy attached and explain to them why witnessing to the lost is something all Christians are commanded to do. And then pray with your kids before and after doing that. Train your kids to be Christian soldiers and not worldly compromisers like Hillsong Church would like them to be.

Hillsong Pastor Explains Why You Should Let Your Child Trick-or-Treat

FROM FAITHWIRE: It’s that time of the year again. Christian parents everywhere enter into a discussion of whether or not to allow their kids to go trick-or-treating. Nathan Finochio, author and pastor at Hillsong Church, is tackling the topic this year, arguing that the word of God allows Christians to redefine everything.

In a story shared to Instagram, Finochio listed out 10 reasons parents should let their children trick or treat:

  1. Don’t instill fear of the world.
  2. Don’t teach them that the world has more fun.
  3. Don’t teach them superstition.
  4. Don’t teach them isolationism.
  5. Don’t teach them a lack of faith.
  6. Teach them common grace – candy is from God and that to the pure all things are pure.
  7. Teach them the redemptive motif – that we reinterpret culture and give it a new meaning.
  8. Teach them that the demonic works by willful agreement, bot accidental consumption.
  9. Teach them in but not of, not out and not of.
  10. Critique loudly what you see as you walk. Make them brave and discerning, not scared and superstitious.

In an interview with Faithwire, Hillsong Church pastor Nathan Finochio pointed out that while there is nothing wrong with celebrating Halloween, it’s the role of a parent to properly teach their children about things like Halloween because spiritual darkness is real and ever-present.

“There is spiritual darkness surrounding everything,” Finchio stated. “Films, books, politics, and yes, even Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter. I think humanity is fascinated with the afterlife, with death, with good and evil. And Halloween is a cultural recognition, a sort of strange negotiation with some of these concepts.”

He pointed out that while there are still witches, warlocks, and pagans that consider Halloween a high festival, Christians took power away from the dark even ages ago.

“This is their last stand, and we actually took it from them a long time ago,” he argued. “In the British Isles, it is known that churches were already celebrating All Saints on 1 November at the beginning of the 8th century to coincide with or replace the Celtic festival of Samhain.”

“Pope Gregory III made All Saints Day official in 837 by appointing November 1st as the official day,” he added, “but many historians believe it was just to recognize what was happening in Northern Europe (the Germanies and Britain) with respect to reinterpreting a pagan holiday.”

Finochio pointed out that it is also important for parents to teach their children the history of different holidays, and the real evil that takes place in the world.

“Kids don’t learn because parents don’t talk,” he added. “All of life should be a running commentary for the Christian parent.” Finochio explained that a lot of modern Christian holidays fall on or near dates that were once pagan festivals.

“Christianity, rather than shying from the roots of things, baptized the pagan festivals and gave them new meaning,” he added. “This is the Christian tradition with which the angry secular academic world is so incensed at.”

“Jesus wasn’t born in December,” he explained. “The Winter Solstice, a festival held wide across cultures in the Northern Hemisphere, occurred around December 21, the shortest day of the year. It was believed in many pagan traditions that the birth of the next year occurred on the 22nd. And as meats had been slaughtered and cured, and ales had had time to ferment—essentially that winter stores were at their absolute peak in preparation for the coming months—a party was in order.”

A BIBLE BELIEVER ASKS SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN?

Finochio also pointed out that in general, Christians are good at celebrating “The sweetness and bitterness of life at the exact same time. Seems that the real heresy of the Age is the refusal and theological inability to do both simultaneously,” he stated. “And a heresy is just a truth out of balance.”

“October 31 is ‘All Hallows Eve.’ It’s when the liturgical celebration begins at Vespers that night. This is the Christian tradition. We have the fascination with death a new meaning—an awareness and thankfulness for the great Saints gone before us. The Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs have nothing to do with Easter either, but that’s actually a Lutheran tradition.” READ MORE

Conspiracy Theory

Think The Nazis Were Defeated In WWII? They Went On To Run NASA, The EU Commission, NATO And The United Nations So You Tell Me Who Won The War

The Allies may have defeated Hitler in WWII, but one thing that was not defeated was Nazi ideology which found its way into NASA, the EU Commission, NATO and the United Nations

How many times have you watched documentaries, movies and newsreels showing the great Allied victory over Nazi Germany and the Axis powers? Probably a lot, and you swell with pride watching the landing on the beaches on D-Day and all the other heroic things done and sacrificed to beat back the Nazis. Case closed, right? Wrong. After WWII, high-ranking and powerful Nazis went on to do things like creating NASA in America, heading up the EU Commission in Europe, being in charge of NATO, and running the United Nations in New York City.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

WERNHER VON BRAUN: For years dismissed as a conspiracy theory, Operation Paperclip eventually came to light and proved all the conspiracy theorists correct once again. The moon landing, whether you think it really happened or think it never happened, was created by a team of 1,600 Nazi scientists from Nazi Germany who were led by Wernher von Braun, Kurt Debus and Arthur Rudolph. All 3 of these men did work in Adolf Hitler’s concentration camps on thousands of victims who were the human fodder for their fiendish experiments. Not only did they never pay for their crimes, they were brought to America where they lived a nice, cushy lifestyle. Von Braun ran the V-2 assembly plant, called the Mittelwerk, that was in central Germany near Nordhausen, and it utilized enslaved labor from the attached Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp. Yet amazingly, NASA built a statue in his honor that remains to this day. Oy vey.

WALTER HALLSTEIN: He was man who was the first president of the European Commission, the unelected executive body of Europe. Hallstein held this post between 1958 and 1967 and is described on the Brussels EU website as a “visionary leader” and a “diplomatic force” who propelled European integration. However, no mention whatsoever is given by the Brussels EU to the fact that before and during World War Two Hallstein was a member of official Nazi organizations. The Association of National Socialist German lawyers was founded in 1933, immediately after the Nazis had seized power. In 1936 it was converted into the notorious Nazi Association of Law Protectors. Membership of this second organization was restricted to those individuals showing uncompromising support for, and participation in, the implementation of Nazi ideology. In a memorandum sent by Hallstein to the representative of the Nazi government at the university of Rostock in Germany in 1935, Hallstein stated he was a member of both these organizations.

ADOLF HEUSINGER: Heusinger played a key role in planning the Nazi occupation of Austria and, at the outbreak of World War II, in the Nazi invasion of Poland, Denmark, Norway, France, and the Netherlands. During the course of the war, Heusinger was appointed Brigadier General and later Major General. Heusinger was appointed Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, serving from 1961 to 1964 in Washington, D.C. In this capacity, he was the highest-ranking military officer in NATO, overseeing strategic military planning during a tense period of the Cold War.

KURT WALDHEIM: He was drafted into the German Wehrmacht in 1941. He served as an intelligence officer in the Balkans, primarily in Yugoslavia and Greece, as part of Army Group E. His unit was involved in brutal anti-partisan operations, including deportations of Jews and reprisals against civilians. None of that stopped Waldheim from becoming the Secretary General of the United Nations General Assembly.

The Nazi Party was taken down from power at the end of WWII, Adolf Hitler died ‘came to his end with none to help him’ as Daniel 11:45 alludes to, and the Allies won the battle. Yay! But the war started by the Nazis continues to be waged through the organizations the Nazis went on to create. These men were not heros, they were unrepentant Nazis who found fame and fortune doing for themselves what they had done for Hitler. There is no better example of covert Nazism in the 21st-century than the United Nations, sitting like a coiled serpent and waiting to strike again.

End Times Villain Bill Gates Says That AI Will Replace Humans In ‘Most Things’ Who Will No Longer Be Needed In The Coming Dystopian Future

Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won’t be needed ‘for most things’

At the end of the 19th century, there was an explosion of technology that was unprecedented in human history, as if a spirit had risen and had given man a form of wisdom not previously possessed. This massive increase in available knowledge was prophesied in the book of Daniel and guess what? We again experiencing a level of unprecedented intelligence and this time it’s the artificial kind. AI is preparing this world to receive the counterfeit king the Bible calls Antichrist, and predictably, Bill Gates is front and center in the end times action.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJB)

Christian, we are living in the most technologically-advanced civilization of all time, but you’d do well to put your nose deep into your King James Bible, the scripture of truth, if you want to find out what’s really going on. The book of James 3:13-18 (KJB) tells us that there is a wisdom that comes from above and is pure, peaceable and gentle. That’s the Bible and the Holy Spirit. But there is another wisdom that is not from above, but is earthly, sensual and devilish. That’s AI and the tech titans. Can you tell the difference between the two? You can if you have a King James Bible and the Holy Spirit.

Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world, says Bill Gates.

FROM CNBC: That’s what the Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist told comedian Jimmy Fallon during an interview on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in February. At the moment, expertise remains “rare,” Gates explained, pointing to human specialists we still rely on in many fields, including “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”

But “with AI, over the next decade, that will become free, commonplace — great medical advice, great tutoring,” Gates said.

In other words, the world is entering a new era of what Gates called “free intelligence” in an interview last month with Harvard University professor and happiness expert Arthur Brooks. The result will be rapid advances in AI-powered technologies that are accessible and touch nearly every aspect of our lives, Gates has said, from improved medicines and diagnoses to widely available AI tutors and virtual assistants.

“It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound,” Gates told Brooks.

The debate over how, exactly, most humans will fit into this AI-powered future is ongoing. Some experts say AI will help humans work more efficiently — rather than replacing them altogether — and spur economic growth that leads to more jobs being created.

Others, like Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, counter that continued technological advancements over the next several years will change what most jobs look like across nearly every industry, and have a “hugely destabilizing” impact on the workforce.

“These tools will only temporarily augment human intelligence,” Suleyman wrote in his book “The Coming Wave,” which was published in 2023. “They will make us smarter and more efficient for a time, and will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labor replacing.” READ MORE

Sleek New $143 Million Maine Correctional Center In Windham Has Everything But King James Bibles As Chaplain Issues Request For Assistance

Sleek new $143 million Maine Correctional Center in Windham opens after four years of construction with everything but King James Bibles and we’re fixing that

The new Maine Correctional Center in Windham officially opened in 2023 on the grounds of the former prison, which was more than 100 years old. The new facility is a medium security facility with a capacity of 566 male residents and 54 female residents, not including the Women’s Center. It looks more like a hotel than like a prison, is equipped with all the latest amenities, and provides ample opportunities for education, rehabilitation, and treatment services for all of the incarcerated population. Sounds pretty good. What doesn’t it have? King James Bibles, and we’re fixing that.

“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJB)

Chaplain Daniel reached out to us a few days ago and said “I have many unmet requests for KJV Bibles in this facility and I am looking for resources that may help meet this need. Thank you.” You can look all you like, but organizations that will send out large print full King James Bibles are few and far between. That’s why God raised up Bibles Behind Bars, to meet the ‘unmet requests’ for King James Bibles that come from so many jail and prison chaplains across the country. Come help us to send out a couple hundred KJVs to Chaplain Daniel at the Maine Correctional Center, Chaplain Lison at the Sweetwater County Detention Center in Wyoming, and all the others who write to us on a regular basis looking for help from Florida all the way up to Alaska. We need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
