ALTERNATIVE TO PAGAN RELIGION

The alternative to the paganized and deranged religious deceptions above is:
JESUS CHRIST

Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

You need to understand that the God of the Bible, and his Divine Son, Jesus Christ,
have NO mercy on those who rebel and chase other gods.
This world good will and nice feeling lately,
which says all the gods are happy to be slighted and herded into one mass of silly putty religion,
is what Jehovah God hates most.

You either come to him ALONE-- just you-- a sinner repenting of your sin,

without Allah,
without Buddha,
without Mohammed,
without Shiva,
without Ellen G. White,
without Joseph Smith,
without your idols, charms, and rituals,
without the Pope,
without the lingham,
without water baptism as a part of your salvation,
without your damnable creed,
without your great stone temple in Hammond,
without Kali,
without your guru,
without your puna,
without all the imagery and show of pagan religion....

Or, Jehovah will send you to hell for eternity.

If you come with anything to commend you to Jehovah God, then there is....

no reincarnation,
no mercy,
no alternative, and
no second chance.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Jehovah God demands you come by faith in Jesus Christ alone, or go to hell.
Why should he allow you into his heaven all filthied by your silly gods and cold rituals?

There is only ONE way for you to be delivered of your terrible destiny:
YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN

Rabab Revival-- Sikh Silliness

Falun Gong
Anyone familiar with Eastern mystical notions will see that this is old stuff indeed.
Check out most specific site which includes links to Falun Gong web sites.
The cult's infiltration of the Chinese military shows it is not all innocent.

Despite its rhetoric, it seems Falun Gong is an "evil cult"-- Article found at http://www.cultnews.com/2002_08_11_archive.html

Most media seem to be taken in by the spin from Falun Gong devotees. A recent example can be seen within the Jewish publication the "Forward." Correspondent Benjamin Soskis laments that "religious groups offer little support to Chinese sect." But had Soskis spent more time on hard research and less on politically correct hand wringing, he would have found that Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi, is both a megalomaniac and a bigot.

Sarah Lubman of the San Jose Mercury News did her homework and actually read Mr. Hongzhi's racist rants. Li says that "mixed-race people�[are] instruments of an alien plot to destroy humanity's link to heaven." And that these interracial unions are somehow part of "a plot by�evil extraterrestrials." Hongzhi appears to be homophobic too when he calls gays "disgusting," and prophesizes that one day they will be ''eliminated'' by ''the gods.''

Much of Hongzhi's writings seem paranoid and ramble on about beings from outer space who are "embedding their technology and science in human bodies" so they can "control" humanity through "their thoughts." This is a little like L. Ron Hubbard's theories, which form the basis for Scientology. Washington Post reporter Peter Carlson, like Lubman looked beyond the group's rhetoric. He discovered that the followers of "Master Li" believe not only that he can "personally install'' falun (a wheel of law) in their abdomens, but he can "levitate," "become invisible" and knows the "top secret of the Universe."

Canadian reporter Brian Hutchinson of the National Post, found that Falun Gong is based upon the "idea that life on Earth is doomed, that it is rotting and that it needs to be 'rectified' in order to proceed to the next stage of existence." And "Master Li�has succeeded in preventing the cosmos from decomposing altogether, as other 'higher beings' were willing to allow."

Hongzhi has also made this sweeping claim, "What I do today is for the purpose of rectifying humankind and the substances of the entire Earth." This statement appears to match the hubris of Rev. Moon, founder of the Unification Church, who says he is the messiah.

Hongzhi eerily parallels the claims made by Marshall Applewhite of "Heaven's Gate"? Like Li, Applewhite believed he was on a mission to fight against evil planetary forces. Just like Applewhite, Hongzhi sees himself in a singular and pivotal role. And he warns, "Not acknowledging the Master in the human world is not acknowledging oneself as a disciple."

Yes, Mr. Soskis might have done a little bit more research, and then he would have better understood why, as one Jewish leader he quoted observed, "It's hard to get [Jewish groups] to speak out on behalf of Falun Gong,"
