The Problem with The Templar Cross

 


The Templars were once the Navy Seals of the Medieval World. They were a bizarre merger of monks and knights who devoted themselves to prayer and protecting pilgrims. Many Protestants feel inspired by them, tattooing their red cross on their body or wearing a Templar cross pendant. The problem is the Templars believed a false gospel. The red cross they wore stands for martyrdom, and their belief that if they die in combat for Christ they will inherit heaven. Jesus said believing in Him is enough, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16). Martyrdom is not a requirement for salvation but insults the spirit of grace, “How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?” (Hebrews 10:29). Jesus Christ died once for all sin, there is no more blood needed; Jesus’ blood was all that is needed. 


Another problem with wearing a Templar cross is that you will be confused as being a Mason. The Free Masons are are secret society that worships Satan, at 43rd degree of masonry they reveal the “Spirit of Light,” they swear to is in fact the devil, “But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). The Free Masons have adopted all Templar cross variants, as well as the Templar robes, symbol of the two knights Templar on one horse, and the title Grandmaster of the Temple. We Christians worship Christ, not the devil! For Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). So wearing a cross that makes you mistaken for devil worshippers is  unwise. 


The Apostle Paul tells us, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:22, NKJV). Wearing Templar iconography is the appearance of evil because it makes you associated with a Catholic Order who believed a false gospel and a Satanic secret society! We should not cause confusion, for our Lord is not author of confusion, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1 Corinthians 14:33). We do not want to confuse people with our witness. We have to take into account what a symbol, image, or even a cross can mean to people. If a cross especially has become used prevalently by evil, we must be sensitive that its use hinders rather than helps. For instance the upside down cross use to represent St. Peter who Jerome records in his writings, was crucified upside-down. But now the upside-down cross is a Satanic cross wore by Satanists. So wearing one will only cause confusion, and we do not want to confuse people. 


I urge you stay away from Templar stuff. For one it is hard to not accidentally end up with Masonic Templar symbols and props. And we should not be involved with the works of evil, nor appear to be. Amen.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. The...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
