COVENANT MINDED MINISTRIES

Listing of Notable Apostates 

This is a list of some notable persons that have been reportedly labeled as an apostate in reliable published sources.

Julian the Apostate: ex-Christian and Roman emperor

Maria Monk: sometimes considered an apostate of the Catholic Church, though there is little evidence that she ever was a Catholic.

Brian Moore: spoke strongly about the effect of the Church on life in Ireland.

Charles Templeton: ex-Christian, declared himself an agnostic.

Grant Allen: despite his religious father, became an agnostic and a socialist. 

Dan Savage: an openly gay American sex advice columnist, author, media pundit, journalist and newspaper editor; Savage has stated that he is now "a wishy-washy agnostic", he has said that he still considers himself "culturally Catholic".

Timothy McVeigh: professed his belief in "a God", although he said he had "sort of lost touch with" Catholicism and "never really picked it [back] up". The Guardian reported that McVeigh wrote a letter claiming to be an agnostic.

Zach Galifianakis: an American comedian, actor, and writer.  He was raised Greek Orthodox, but now says he "isn't sure" on the subject of religion.

Bart D. Ehrman: is an American New Testament scholar and textual critic of early Christianity.  He became an Evangelical Christian as a teen but gradually began questioning his faith in the Bible as the inerrant, unchanging word of God. He now considers himself an agnostic.

Weishaupt defected from Christianity in 1770 at the age of 22.  At the time, was a Jesuit-trained professor of Canon Law, teaching in Inglecot University when he defected from Christianity to embrace the Luciferian conspiracy.

He began to write out the master plan that was designed to give the Synagogue of Satan, so named by Jesus Christ, ultimate world domination so they could impose the Luciferian ideology on what would remain of the human race after the final social cataclysm by use of satanic despotism.

Adam Weishaupt who became a convert to Catholicism and later a Catholic priest,  at the request of the Financiers, defected from the Catholic Church, and organized the Illuminati which was financed by the International Bankers.

Masonic Religion

Abert Pike was raised in a Christian home and attended an Episcopal Church.  He was considered a genius, passing the enterance examination at Harvard University at 15 years of age, but unable to attend because of lack of funding.  He began a program of self-education and became a shool teacher, subsequently becoming an attorney, military officer, writer, and Freemason.

Abert Pike was born December 20, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of an alcoholic father and a mother who tried to push him into the ministry.  Before dying on April 2, 1891, he had become a very wealthy man. 

In 1859 he received an honorary Ph.D. from Harvard but declined it ("The Phoenix," Manly P. Hall).

Pike died in Washington, D.C., aged 81, and was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery (against his wishes — he had left instructions for his body to be cremated).

In 1944 his remains were moved to the House of the Temple, headquarters of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite.

He is the only Confederate military officer or figure to be honored with a statue in Washington, D.C. in Judiciary Square.

Most Christians will agree with much of what Albert Pike has to say about his own faith in Christianity. His discussion of baptism calls the Christian rite "a baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins: that is, the necessity of repentance proven by reformation."

That "reformation" of the repentant baptized Christian is now being referred to as being "born again," which puts Pike's definition of the sacrament right in line with the beliefs of those who condemn him most angrily.

Freemasonry teaches that their true religion must be mixed with "error" [lying] when it is taught to the masses, so that it can be kept pure for the Adepts! "Religion ... must needs be alloyed [mixed] with an amount of error [lying] ... the religion of the many must necessarily be more incorrect than that of the refined and reflective few." (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", p. 224, Teachings for the 14th Degree)

Pike also states that lying is necessary, on page 102, Teaching for the 3rd Degree. "A spirit ... that loves wisdom and contemplates the Truth close at hand, is forced to disguise it, to induce the multitudes to accept it ... Fictions are necessary to the people ..."

Freemasonry teaches that it is a world religion, that it "reveres" all faiths. "We do not undervalue the importance of any truth. We utter no word that can be deemed irreverent by any one of any faith ... We do not tell the Hebrew that the Messiah whom he expects, was born in Bethlehem nearly two thousand years ago; and that he is a heretic because he will not so believe. And as little do we tell the sincere Christian that Jesus of Nazareth was but a man like us, or His history [is] but the revival of an older legend." (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", p. 524)

Freemasonry teaches that the "morality of Masonry" is "the morality of every creed of antiquity". (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", p. 541)

Christian author, Gary Kah, writing in his book, " En Route to Global Occupation", writes about Luciferian worship on page 114, "On 14 July, 1889, Albert Pike issued his instructions to the twenty-three Supreme Councils of the world, recorded by A.C. De La Rive, in La Femme et l'Enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universalle (page 588). The following is an excerpt from his speech.

The true name for Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism or Idolatry. For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free Will. (page 102)

Remember, Freemasonry separates Lucifer from Satan, claiming they are not the same being. Satan is supposed to be the negation of God; he is the brother of Jesus Christ! Does this sound like Mormonism? It should, because Joseph Smith was a 33rd Degree Mason, as was Brigham Young.

The Masonic's Lucifer

The Luciferian doctrine is implicit in the lower degrees, and only becomes an explicit teaching on the highest degrees. The highest of the high was the Palladium: an international alliance to bring in the Grand Lodges, the Grand Orient, the ninety-seven degrees of Memphis and Mizraim (the Ancient and Primitive Rite), and the Scottish Rite (the Ancient and Accepted Rite).

In 1870 Pike and Mazzini completed an agreement to create a supreme, universal rite of Masonry that would over-arch all the other rites, even the different national rites. It centralised all high Masonic bodies in the world under one head. This head was, ultimately, Lucifer.

Pike an Mazzini were his human regents. To this end the Palladium Rite was created as the pinnacle of the pyramid of power. Palladism is necessarily a Luciferian rite. Its religion is Manichæan neo-gnosticism, teaching that the divinity is dual and that Lucifer is the equal of Adonay, with Lucifer the “god of light and goodness” struggling for humanity against Adonay the “god of darkness and evil.”

Albert Pike had only specified and unveiled the dogmas of the high grades of all other masonries, for in no matter what rite, the Masonic “Great Architect of the Universe” is not the God worshipped by the Christians.

Unacceptable Behavior Practices 

The manual governing Christian chracter and conduct is the Holy Bible.  Through its guidance or instructions he adherents or followers are made wise as they mirrow the instructions in their daily behavior practices.

This manual provides all the essential knowledge for being a successful Christian.  It also provides the means for obtaining mercy and finding grace in time of need, especially, but not limited to, when a brother or sister has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

There is no reason whatsoever that one who desires to remain in relationship with God has to remain seperated or alienated from God, other than his or her choice to defect from God.

Christians who sin and take corrective action to get back in line with God according to the manual, signifies their will to do God's will.

Dangereous and Deadly Activities Violation of Deuternomy 18:10

Spiritism may be the world's oldest religion.  Today there are an estimated 70 million Spiritists, popular in Brazil, England, France, America, and other places.

The "National Spiritualist Association of Churches" was the first founded in 1893, with 300 churches and 10,000 members.

 The "International General Assembly of Spiritualists": 250 churches and 200,000 members. The "Universal Church of the Master" (UCM), since 1908, with 300 congregations, 1,300 ministers, and 10,000 members.

The school for ordination of spiritualist ministers attend the Morris Pratt Spiritualist Institute in Whitewater, Wisconsin.

 The "National Spiritual Alliance of the USA" has 40 churches with 4,000 members.  There is also the "Great World Christian Spiritualist Assembly", but nothing of "Christian", it is just a deception!

The greatest difference between Christianity and Spiritism is that in Christianity  the supernatural manifestations and the prophecies are made by God, and in Spiritualism by Satan, through living mediums contacting fake spirits of the dead.

Spiritism Defined

Spiritism or Spiritualism is the belief that the human personality continues to exist after death and can communicate with the living through the agency of a medium or psychic.

The advocates of spiritism argue that death merely means a change of wavelength for those who die, and the medium is said to be able to receive radiations, frequencies, or vibrations that cannot be sensed by an ordinary person.

Communication from the spirit world manifests itself in psychical phenomena (e.g., telepathy, clairvoyance, trance speaking, and apparitions) and in physical phenomena (e.g., levitation, automatic writing, and poltergeist and ectoplasmic activities).

Ectoplasm is the mysterious visible substance in which the forces of the “other world” materialize. Closely related to the concept of the ectoplasm is the aura, a colored emanation that supposedly surrounds all individuals and that can be perceived by the medium.

By noting variations in the hues of a person's aura, the medium is able to describe his or her personality, needs, and illnesses. The shriveling of the aura is considered a sign of an impending death.

In what is known as solar plexus voice mediumship, --- a spirit appears to speak through a medium's body.

Other Big Doctrinal Differences

1.  "Jesus Christ", is a total different person for a Christian and a Spiritualist.

2.  For a Spiritualist Jesus is God, but as much as you and I are God, as much as every human being is a divine child of God, just a part of the Infinite Intelligence.

3.  Jesus did not pay for our sins on the cross, he did not redeem us, his crucifixion was no more than "an illustration of the martyr spirit".

4.  There is no actual Hell, no ultimate judgment of man's life in Spiritualism.

5.  Original sin and Virgin Birth have no place in Spiritualism.

A Great Deception

A great deception of Satan is the claim of the Spiritualists that the Bible is Spiritualist.

They claim that "Jesus Christ was the master medium of all time"; pointing to the Transfiguration as an example of spirit materialization, and Pentecost as the greatest séance in history.

Spiritualists, in fact, make the Bible endorse what its writers emphatically oppose!

The Holy Scriptures Declare

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2nd Timothy 3:16)

that the man of God may be complete, throughly equipped for every good work. (2nd Timothy 3:17)

knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, (2nd Peter 2:20)

for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2nd Peter 2:21)

A Fraud and Great Lie

All the physical or psychical manifestations of Spiritism and Spiritualism is the deceptive work of the Devil, the father of lies, the exact fruits of Spiritism and Spiritualism.

Harry Houdini, whose birth name in Hungary was Ehrich Weiss, was a Jewish Hungarian American magician, escapologist, and widely regarded as one of the greatest ever.

Houdini was also a stunt performer, film producer, actor, as well as a skeptic and investigator of spiritualists who discovered the tricks of all the mediums willing to be tested by him. 

Houdini knew their tricks, because he himself was a master trickister, receiving his power from the same source (the devil) they were receiving theirs.  Houdini intimidated them and they feared him in exposing them because Satan's house is divided.

Others testing Him (Jesus), sought from Him a sign from heaven. (Luke 11:16)

But He knowing their thoughts said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. (Luke 11:17)

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?  Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. (Luke 11:18)

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?  Therefore they will be your judges. (Luke 11:19)

But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Luke 11:20)

The magazine "Scientific American", in 1923 offered $5,000 to any medium who could satisfy a committee of scientists, and $5,000 at that time was big money... nobody could earn the award, all of them were found to be frauds.

Therefore by their fruits you will know them. (Matthew 7:20)

God's Wisdom vs Worldy Wisdom

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. (James 3:13)

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. (James 3:14)

This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. (James 3:15)

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. (James 3:16)

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.  (James 3:17)

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (James 3:18)

The Nation of Islam (Black Muslims)

Allah is the standard Arabic word for God, but in no way does Allah equate the God of the Christians.  God the Father has a Son, whereas, Allah has no Son, neither is he the father of anyone.  Therefore, we can conclude without any doubt, that Islam's Allah and Christian's God are two uniquely different beings (personalities).

In Islam, the name Allah is the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name.  However, in Christianity, the name Allah is an idol god.

According to the tradition of Islam there are 99 names of God, each of which evoke a distinct characteristic of Allah.  Among the 99 names of God, the most famous and most frequent of these names are "the Merciful" (al-raham) and "the Compassionate" (al-rahim).

For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,  (John 5:22)

that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father.  He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. (John 5:23)

The original Nation of Islam was founded in Detroit in the United States of America  in 1930 by Wallace Fard Muhammad (1877, 1891 or 1893- 1934?), is believed by the Nation of Islam to be “the long-awaited Messiah  of the Chriatians  and the Mahdi of the Muslims."

In December 1997, the Nation of Islam sponsored a world tour referred to as the World Friendship Tour III.  A delegation of Muslim and Christian clergy from America, led by Minister Louis Farrakhan, visited the Caribbean and almost 40 countries as well, including Canada, Mali, South Africa, South Korea, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Russia, Arabia, Libya, Cuba, Egypt, and the Philippines.

Using the themes of the Million Man March held two years earlier, Farrakhan declared the mission of the tour to “spread the message of atonement, reconciliation, and responsibility.”

The Christian clergy who joined in with Louis Farrakhan were out of line with the word of God according to 2nd John 9,10,11, and there's not a true Christian that can deny the validity of this allegation or support attendance to this gathering with Farrakhan by any Christians, in particular, but not limited to Christian clergies (sheppards of the flock of the living God).

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. (2nd John 9)

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; (2nd John 10)

for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. (2nd John 11)

For nearly 30 years, Louis Farrakhan has marked himself a notable figure on the extremist scene by making hateful statements targeting Jews, whites and homosexuals.

Farrakhan’s bigoted and anti-Semitic rhetoric has included statements calling whites “blue eyed devils” and Jews “bloodsuckers” that controlled the slave trade, the government, the media and various Black individuals and organizations.

In 2006, Farrakhan blamed Jews and Israel for the war in Iraq, for controlling Hollywood and for promoting what he considers immorality during his February Saviours' Day address in Chicago.

Farrakhan is known as a powerful speaker who has promoted black separatism and self-reliance, and is equally well known for his incendiary comments about whites, Jews, Asians, and others whom he feels have exploited blacks.

Louis Eugene Walcott was born on May 11, 1933, and grew up in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston.  After joining the Nation of Islam in the 1950s, he took the name Louis X (a standard Nation of Islam practice indicating that one's identity and culture were stolen during slavery) and later Louis Farrakhan.

In high school he was an honor student, a good track athlete, and an active Episcopalian.  After two years of college he embarked on a career as a professional violinist and singer who used such stage names as "Calypso Gene" and "The Charmer."

Special Note: Masonic Lodge 

The quoted theological dogma of Albert Pike: "That which we must say to the crowd is – We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. 

 "To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees – The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.

"If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (The God of the Christians) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him ?

" Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God.  For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods : darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.

" Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil."

Special Note: Nation of Islam

Elijah Muhammad (formerly Elijah Poole), student and successor of Wallace Fard Muhammad (formerly Wallace Dodd Ford as supported by FBI records), had this to say about his teacher, in his book, Message to the Blackman:  "Allah (God)" came to us from the Holy City Mecca, Arabia, in 1930. He used the name Wallace D. Fard, often signing it W.D. Fard. In the third year (1933), He signed His name W.F. Muhammad, which stands for Wallace Fard Muhammad. He came alone. He began teaching us the knowledge of ourselves, of God and the devil, of the measurement of the earth, of other planets, and of the civilizations of some of the planets other than earth."

The rift between Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X occurred when Malcolm discovered that Elijah Muhammad was having sex with various young NOI women and girls working for him, and that he had fathered their children.  A year later, Malcolm was forced out of NOI for the release of this information, presciently stating that "I am probably a dead man already."

Muslims Belief about the White Race

A child by the name of "Yakub", commonly known as "Jacob" in the Bible, would be born and that he would make a people who would rule over them, a people who would deal with them cruelly, a people who would show no mercy, but would show or cause malignity among them.  This, up unto this day, we can see these Yakub's grafted devils (white race) are masters at causing malice or malign, speaking evil of or causing us to speak evil of each other. 

We spoke Arabic, we were given the proper dialect to use, yet we wanted to change it or as was said, we wanted to improve it, or make it more easier to understand, or more suitable to each family plus Brown, Red and Yellow.  This, however, was wrong for we see what happened in order to straighten out the wrong; (a grafting out of it).  Brother, in our days, about 8,400 years ago in order to put an end to the dissatisfaction, Allah allowed Yakub to graft the devil (white man). 

Muslims Belief about Christianity

We bear witness that they have taken the truth (Islam) and twisted it, and calls it Christianity, which is a lie!

Defecting from Christianity

In the Episcopal Church, where Louis Farrakhan attended as a child, both the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed are confessed in the worship service, which is to confirm one's faith in the Trinitarian Doctrine (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit).

As Louis Farrakhan (formerly Louis Eugene Walcott) defected from Christianity (the Episcopal Church, and Abert Pike (the Episcopal Church), and Adam Weishaupt (the Catholic Church) by being deceived, so have they deceived many other and caused them also to defect the Christian faith.
