Chuck Smith, Don Stewart and Rick Warren
Pictured above with Calvary Chapel icon, Chuck Smith, is his co-conspirator, Rick Warren, who is (like Richard Land) a CFR member. Chuck and Rick look like nice enough fellows. You would never guess that they are part of the plot to destroy the Word of God and lead Christianity into deception and damnation, but they are. Whether they know it or not. You do not have to know that you are being used by Satan to be used by Satan. Remember that.
Oh how they love the chief seats in the synagogue.
The Calvary Chapel denomination started back in the 1960's and is one of several cult groups that were born out of the Jesus People movement:
Unlike many other Christian movements, there was no single leader or figurehead of the Jesus movement. Some of the larger names include Duane Pederson, Jack Sparks, who led the Christian World Liberation Front, as well as Lonnie Frisbee, who worked for a time along with Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel movement. Frisbee was a key evangelist during the growth of the Calvary churches; Smith was one of the few pastors who welcomed in the hippies who after coming to faith, eventually became known as Jesus people, and thus allowed for the dramatic future growth of his affiliate church network. Sparks and Pederson later became priests in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The international Potter's House Church (CFM) was birthed out of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, a church movement based in Los Angeles where Chuck Smith, the pastor of Calvary Chapel, received his early theological training. source
Lonnie Frisbee is a key person in the creation and initial growth of Calvary Chapel. Frisbee believed himself to be a prophet. Chuck Smith was taken with Prophet Frisbee and Frisbee quickly became one of the most popular ministers within the fledgling Calvary Chapel church not long after he and his wife joined the church in Costa Mesa, California. Frisbee was instrumental in growing the attendance numbers, but was this due to the leading of the Holy Spirit or was it because of some other spirit:
Frisbee's unofficial evangelism career began as a part of a soul-searching LSD acid-trip as part of a regular "turn on, tune in, drop out" session of getting high. He would often read the Bible while tripping.
Frisbee contracted AIDS and died from complications associated with the condition. At his funeral at the Crystal Cathedral, Calvary Chapel's Chuck Smith eulogized Frisbee as a Samson-like figure; that being a man through whom God did many great works, but was the victim of his own struggles and temptations. source
Crystal Cathedral is now a Catholic church. Can you see the pyramid & capstone?
When Frisbee died his funeral was held at the Crystal Cathedral, where 33rd degree mason, Robert Schuller was pastor. As part of his eulogy of Frisbee, Chuck Smith stated that when he met Lonnie that he was taken aback by the visible spirit of God in Lonnie's life.
Chuck compared Lonnie to Samson. Keep in mind that during the entire time, Frisbee was a practicing and unrepentant homosexual. To say that the Holy Spirit was inside someone who never repented of homosexuality and someone who found Jesus while high on acid is about as close to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit as you can get.
And they get upset and say that no one has any right to judge. That is correct; we have no right to judge. But we have a responsibility to judge and this was an error on the part of Chuck Smith and just one among many. Maybe it was on purpose. Perhaps it was Satan's Hegelian game in play once again, where Satan's people divide evil in two and call the one half evil and the other half good. They are continually whittling people down and breaking down morality, but they cannot get everyone to accept homosexuality all at once. So they divide the more conservative sheep into a camp that superficially condemns homosexuality or whatever sin to keep the conservatives deceived and thinking that they are part of the "Godly" church versus their more liberal counterparts.
This theory is further displayed in the schism between Smith and his son, Chuck Jr. Chuck Smith Jr. is pastor of a Capo Beach church that was formerly a Calvary Chapel. Smith Jr. was kicked out of the Calvary Chapel denomination by his own father for
Kathryn Kuhlman, now deceased, hosted a television show called I Believe in Miracles on which Lonnie Frisbee appeared and gave his testimony. When I watched the video it made me sick. Kuhlman gave spiritual birth to Benny Hinn and it was she who was his inspiration. If you place your faith in the teachings of any of these people, then you need to wake up from your blindness. You have failed to exercise discernment and to "test the spirits." When I watch video of Katherine Kuhlman my discernment echoes "Ellen White Alice Bailey Ellen White Alice Bailey...." People fall for these liars because people have "itching ears" and because a "wicked and perverse generation seeketh a sign." Worshipping the Lord "In Spirit and in Truth" is too boring for modern man. We need a good show and a jazzy story. Throw in some lying signs and wonders and we'll have a hit!
As above: so below - two pyramids mirroring
Greg Laurie, a disciple of Frisbee's, went on to pastor Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. Harvest is one of the largest Christian churches in America with its 15,000+ membership. Laurie has recently begun playing a foil to Chuck Smith's role in yet another Hegelian shell game, this time concerning the emerging church and once again CFR member Rick Warren rears his head.
Greg Laurie spends approximately five years being discipled by Lonnie and copies him in every way, even down to dressing exactly as he does in hippie garb with fringes on his jacket. Laurie later becomes one of the most recognizable evangelists in the nation. source
The source for the statement above thinks that Laurie being discipled by Frisbee was a good thing. To me it cries out "fruit of a poisoned tree."
All date setters being liars who should be shunned. I never knew that Chuck Smith was a date setting false prophet, but in 1978 Smith published a book titled End Times. Smith stated that the generation that had seen Israel become a nation in 1948 would be the last generation and that at the very latest the world would end by 1981. Smith reaffirmed this position in 1981 in his Future Survival. Smith qualified his statements by saying that he understood that he could be wrong. The first mistake that Smith made is to think that what calls itself "Israel" constitutes the regathering of Israel as the Bible states will happen. It does not. His second mistake is assuming that the "fig tree" parable has anything to do with Israel. Luke 21:29 states:
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees....
This has nothing to do with Israel at all much less a TPTB created modern Israel. And after all, Smith's prophecy failed. Who could have seen that coming? And yet even though Smith is a proven false prophet Calvary Chapel is still packed all over the United States and even internationally. Why? Because most of those who are packing into the Calvary Chapels are clueless. They have no idea about Smith's and the Chapel's history. Listen folks, if you do not know Calvary Chapel's past, then you don't know where Calvary Chapel is leading you. You need to know. And do not let some phony emotional attachment blind you to the truth.
The last item that I wish to present with this post is a statement from the Calvary Chapel website:
We believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part of the Body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:15-16) source
The phrase "universal church" gives away what Calvary Chapel really is:
The Catholic Church declared in the Fourth Lateran Council that: "There is one universal Church of the faithful, outside of which there is absolutely no salvation", a statement of what is known as the doctrine of Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. The Church is further described in the papal encyclical Mystici Corporis Christi as the "Mystical Body of Christ". source
The "universal church" statement is yet one more connection running between Calvary Chapel and the Catholic Church. Catholic is Latin for Universal and the Catholic Church has always called itself the Universal Church and Calvary Chapel believes in it.
When you tell someone who is in a cult that they are in a cult and you show them evidence to that effect they do not suddenly proclaim, "Hey! You are right! I see it now! I am in a cult!"
They never do that. They double down. They become defensive and they stick tighter to the cult than ever before. That is human nature. It's basic psychology.
The cult and it's teachings have worked their way into the mind and formed pathways and really become a literal part of the person. This is called internalization. So when you state facts that put the cult in a negative light you are perceived as attacking the individual because they are the cult. People can be freed from the cult by having their eyes opened by Jesus Christ.
There is a lot of evidence for the Jesus People Movement (and by extension Calvary Chapel itself) being a front for counterintelligence. Perhaps I will explore that in a future post.
