  12. Deception in the Catholic Church Jesus’ position has been usurped by Mary, really the Queen of Heaven. Mariology: praying through Mary instead of Jesus The Pope is given authority to forgive sins – only Jesus can do this!

  13. DECEPTION within the ChurchCatholic ‘Mary Mother of God’ Queen of Heaven

  14. Scriptures about The Queen of Heaven Isaiah 47: parallel with the fall of Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-15 ‘Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter of the Babylonians..(v.1) Sit in silence, go into darkness, daughter of the Babylonians; no more will you be called queen of kingdoms…(v.5) You said ‘I will continue forever the eternal queen!’..(v.7) In spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells. – witchcraft.You have trusted in your wickedness and you have said no-one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me,’(v.10) ‘Let your astrologers come forward those star gazers who make predictions month by month…’ (v.13b) - fortune telling, horoscopes

Alice Bayley Occultist 1911 :‘The Plan’ to rid Europe of Christianity • Remove Christian teaching from schools. • ‘Liberate children from bondage’ and give them independence. • Destroy the family. Give children their rights. • Remove restrictions on sex. Legalise abortion. Emancipate women. • Allow divorce and homosexuality. • Diffuse Christian radicalism and promote multi-faith. • Use the media to promote propaganda and distort the truth. • Corrupt and debase art. • Get the church to endorse all of these! • This was achieved in one generation! (1950-2000) • We must free our minds from the deception that this has caused • and ‘stand in the gap’.

With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into the desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATION OF TH EARTH

I am the Lord your God.’ 20: 6: ‘I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.’

  21. Scriptures relating to Witchcraft Deuteronomy: 18:9-14 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no-one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practises divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft or casts spells, or is medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord...’
