Freemasonry and the Catholic Connection: The Historical Evidence

[lordrothchild21]

love it.

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on this site. I have only one "complaint" - I wish there were more references to the quotes. I have found most but can't find them all. Nonetheless..

Definite 5 star rating.

Okay, yes this all was very interesting I must say. But Baalam wasn't pagan, he was suppose to be a prophet (messenger) of God. But he had alot of greed and it dies with him. Peter means rock (not to be mixed up w/ what Jesus said that on "this rock he will build his church" he was talking of himself). Other then that , very good presentation.

I just looked into it, Balaam was indeed pagan, was both a sorcerer and a soothsayer. Check out Numbers ch 22-24. The Lord called him, the Spirit came on him and he blessed Israel & prophesied, but greed was his undoing, and the children of Israel killed him. Joshua 13:22

@Nirky

I already knew this, tis why I didnt respond to Nativemix. He is the one that needs to study. But thanks for the validation!

[nativemix]

Its she.lol Look at me response above. Sometimes you read things in the Bible and it doesn't click until you read them again. God bless

[hopgoblin1]

@nativemix

Yep, Just have to go to scripture my friend.

[nativemix]

Ok, I read the two books listed above. Tho I have read them before, I didn't realize that Balaam was actually called a soothsayer. I have always looked at him as a prophet who fell away, but now I realize he was basically a false prophet. Thank you for your statement and backing it up with scripture. God bless

[Nirky]

God used Balaam to both bless Israel & prophesy, he delivered God's word to others. Balaam was not a false prophet. God personally talked with him, even though once it was through a donkey!

God loved Balaam, like He does everyone, and Balaam had a choice, like we all do, to deny himself and serve the living God, or to go his own human way. Unfortunately he chose himself.

[nativemix]

But he was disobedient and went against God which made him from being a prophet of God to a false one. God told him not to go unless he was called and he went anyway. He wanted to curse Israel but blessing came instead. Then he caused Israel to sin by infultrating the camp. So because of these things, it makes him a false prophet. Just like if we decide to disobey God and still say we love him. We will become false or fake Christians.

[Nirky]

It's important that as Christians we do not lean on our own understanding, but let understanding come from God's word. What is scripture's definition of a false prophet?

"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send" Jer 14:15

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world" 1 Jn 4:1

[Nirky]

A false prophet is one whom the Lord has not sent. Balaam turned out to be greedy and disobedient, but whatever else Balaam was, he WAS sent by God.

@Nirky

I am not disputing this at all. We all have to make a conscieous choice. Prophet or not. What it does prove is that the Lord found favor with him as he did with Cush and his son Nimrod as evidence of preserving the lineage of Noah. Yet, as a consquence of his own choosing, he rejected God. If anything, it proves against the false doctrine "once saved always saved" being breached by evangelicals. We can all fall out of grace as we all have free will.

[nativemix]

Exactly! God did not send Balaam to corrupt Israel and then later tell Moses that all that slept with the heathens and made sacrifices to their gods to kill him. This wasn't God's plan at all. This is when he became a false prophet. And he wasn't called to go to Balak why do you think the angel of God stood in the way with the sword?

[hopgoblin1]

@Nirky

Yes, I agree with you that God loved Balaam, as He loves everyone. However, we have to remember, that Balaam's choice to obey the law of his own humanity and not that of God is what makes him like Nimrod.

Great video, knowledge is power.

[AWSRevMel]

Peter was never called by this name he was known as Cephas.

[RemixtLatino]

I have to admit this was interesting. I've looked into some of this, this was pretty deep. Shows study.

2 things I wonder about. Peter, Petra, does that not also mean stone? Maybe you mentioned it here though I don't recall it. I apologize if I missed it, but I know it is translated to moveable stone, or stone as well in Greek. Theres a reference to it in the KJV.

Also, Balaam. I was unaware he was pagan. Did he not have direct contact with the one true God?

[RemixtLatino]

Meant to say Petros, not Petra...

[hopgoblin1]

@RemixtLatino

Yes, Petra also can mean stone but remember, words can have other meanings as well. I clearly stated this in the video that "PTR" also referred to Interpreter and Father.

[RemixtLatino]

Yes, I'm aware many words have more than one meaning. So, quick Q... What can I use or where can I go that would talk about these things to verify?

[hopgoblin1]

@RemixtLatino

The easy answer would be the Bible. But you can just research the sourcces and authors that I had mentioned in the vid.

[RemixtLatino]

I'll have to find time to watch the video again then and look up the authors & sources. I did searches for the name Peter in the Bible, and read a little around, and would look at the Greek, and whatever else I could think of but it always came to be rock, or a piece of a rock, or stone. I didn't find any references to the specific word "Peter" in the OT. I'll admit I didnt look at every single reference to the word as they were many, but I did go back and forth between quite a few of t hem.

[RemixtLatino]

I also looked up interpret, or interpretation, and did not find a matching term or word. However, not in the Hebrew but in the Greek, I did find that for father, the term patēr was used. Pretty interesting, sounds similar.

[Nirky]

Remix, Pater means "father" in Latin, that I remember from 3 yrs Latin class way back in high school, lol.

[RemixtLatino]

Looks like the same for the Greek.. Pater/father

[rusda2]

WOW! 5 stars and two thumbs WAY up!

[lordrothchild21]

bravo this is money.

[lordrothchild21]

vatican etomology means mad or insane prophets so does sanhedrin which i believe is the fonder behind the scenes of catholicism. also the two faces could mean the paganism (satanic knowledge before flood brought to after flood i think that is more acurate . ive been studying this for a while and only briefly come across some of this. you put it together nicely i was actually very excited watching its been a while since ive been excited over this stuff great job
