Why have so many 'good' Christian friends gone astray?

[Lisa]

Had a wonderful evening with Father. And he has answered a conundrum that had been bothering me for quite some time and i thought that it was worth writing and sharing.
I met someone who I know-a Christian from my old Church who is so caught up in the apostate thing. And i do love this person and have been sort of praying and trying to understand why this person has no understanding of the signs of the times RE the church and the huge falling away and the spirit of error which has captured the church. Its so simple-Father had me go over the conversation we had and it was staring me right in the face...They loved the 'teacher' /false teacher? more than they loved Jesus. They wanted to adore and give their adoration to the 'teacher' and not jesus...Is this a form of 'spiritual adultery'....
Romans 1  25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
And i had this scripture....

....I think that this may be a scripture word from Father for intercession for this situation-Interested in your thoughts (last verse)

Yeah, this seems to be the norm in today's "church". Maybe the NIVs and other corrupt bible versions brought inside the walls have brought spiritual demons along with it? Ephesians 6:12

Good point on Romans 1:25, never thought of it that way.

As Pastor Mike Hoggard says the new modern versions have changed the DNA of the Church. The Authorized King James Bible is the DNA. The NIV came out in 1978, in 1988, just 10 years later the NIV was the most popular Bible Version and still is popular today, the proponents of it nearly always say it is easier to read. I went to a NIV Church a long time ago that had a Freemason in it. When i was in there i felt really uncomfortable for some reason, but i thought it was just because i hadn't been to a Church for awhile. I remember the minister of the Church said to me: "Satan is enclosed through the shutters (windows) in this Church". I kind of thought him saying that was a bit strange. After some time i left that Church because from reading about spiritual healing i was interested in what Charismatics believed and so i went to a Pentecostal Church. It wasn't a hyper-Pentecostal one but i remember seeing this lady shriek out when people went up the front to be "slain in the spirit". I thought that could be a demon that made her do that. I could see that the people falling over were doing it themselves deliberately. At that Pentecostal Church everyone had different Bibles. But unlike the previous Church this one had a real peaceful and calm atmosphere, and i felt accepted there, the people there were really nice and friendly and i enjoyed the contemporary music. I think it was about then that i came across Dr Scott Johnson's teachings about charismatics and his own experiences down the charismania lane which was an eye opener for me and so i left that Pentecostal Church even though it was hard to because the people were really nice eventhough there beliefs were wrong because they did not rightly divide the Word of God.

[Psalm 51:17]

It's not so much that pastors, Sunday school teachers, pew members et al will directly slam the KJV, but you will hear alot of subtle buzzphrases that keep getting repeated over and over again like, "The KJV language is hard to understand", "The NIV is an easier read", among other nonsense. So no, I don't think anyone's intention is to throw out the KJV blatantly, but pretty much spiritual demons are working in people and working them like puppets.

And to make matters worse, pastors have been brainwashed in their respective seminaries largely b/c those so-called bible colleges have been hijacked by Jesuits for quite some time now(ie-and one seminary President I've crossed paths with once commented that sem students should NOT question the professor within the classroom. IOW, he tried to make an exception to the Acts 17:12 passage of being good Boreans when students are in the classroom). So it's no surprise that not many pastors embrace the KJV anymore.

As for Freemasons infiltrating churches - today's "church" has yoked themselves up with 501c3, which is from the IRS, which has ties to the United Nations. As mentioned above, pastors by and large have been trained in Jesuit-infiltrated bible colleges. Not trying to give Masons a pass here, but Freemasons in your typical "church" today seems like a drop in the bucket compared to being under the rule of law that is the draconian United Nations system. Heck - the previous church I was in, one of the deacons was an influential and wealthy banker in the community, and the pastor was the chairman of an interfaith group in the city(and got accolades like leadership awards in the community). But somehow, he was given this "He can't do no wrong and he's untouchable" status.
