“TASMANIA COMPLETES GUN LAWS BLOC”.

Tasmania, the state that witnessed the Port Arthur massacre, yesterday (15th August, 1996) became the LAST STATE to adopt the uniform national gun laws INSPIRED BY THE TRAGEDY. (Obviously by this article it appears that the ‘uniform national gun laws’ for every other state are already in place). Tasmania’s Upper House yesterday agreed to pass the contentious firearms laws after DAYS OF DEBATE .... more than 80 amendments to the Bill were made ... then insisted several of them be accepted in the final version, even though all 35 Lower House MPs refused to accept them. A conference of four MPs from each House met early yesterday to try to resolve the deadlock but failed. Later, Police Minister John Beveridge (who featured prominently in T.V. coverage of the Port Arthur massacre - my comments in brackets) succeeded in moving a motion calling on the Upper House to accept the last chance to implement the laws. The Upper House capitulated finally, acknowledging that although the legislation was not perfect in its eyes, the PEOPLE OF TASMANIA EXPECTED THE BILL TO BE ENACTED. The Images areas of dispute were issues related to firearm collections and permits for minors. The legislation will now become law as soon as it is proclaimed." (End of article).

CONSTANCE CUMBEY’S “A PLANNED DECEPTION”

... (Chapt. 6 Heading) “ DISARMAMENT & THE N.W.O.
” ...opens with the following statement: Alice Bailey’s “Tibetan Master” told her DISARMAMENT WOULD BE THE LAST OF NINE STEPS TOWARD THE NEW WORLD ORDER. (We have seen the various agreements between the world powers to disarm their nuclear weaponry and it would appear that the next step is to disarm the civilian population by intimidation and/or legislation - comments in brackets...J. S.). Adding to the completion of the gun laws in all Australian States is the following article from the “Sunday Telegraph” August 25, 1996 by Peter Rees in Canberra: Australians suffer from wide-spread insecurities, according to noted social researcher and commentator Hugh Mackay. AND INCIDENTS SUCH AS THE PORT ARTHUR MASSACRE have deepened our anxieties..... The report is a detailed analysis of the mind and mood of Australians since the election of the Howard government in March. “The recurring theme of social research over the past few years - that people feel as if they have lost control of their lives - emerges again in this study, but with renewed force. Triggered by the PORT ARTHUR massacre (they seem to major on this - comment...J. S.) many of the anxieties and insecurities in contemporary Australian society have emerged with a sharper focus, and feeling of edginess (coupled with a determination to ‘do something’...J.S) are everywhere to be found. “Australians are fearful of crime and violence. Their faith in institutions - and in one another - is declining. Insecurity has sparked a disproportionate fear of crime and violence and led people to over-react to events such as PORT ARTHUR and to “seek refuge in ever more stringent regulations.” ...a declining sense and trust in one another, and in institutions such as the CHURCH and the JUSTICE SYSTEM. (Comments...J.S. - the usual One World Government tactics - pressures both social and moral through terrorist and nuclear threats and massacres like Port Arthur, Hoddle Street, Melbourne and those in America and Scotland - people would willingly give up national sovereignty in order to achieve peace. And this would bring in the whole international political system.)

NEW CHURCH “CENSUS” & ECUMENISM.

Earlier this year a television programme featured 3 men representing the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Uniting churches and the discussion centered around the ‘viability’ of church properties in regard to membership, location, buildings and the cost of Imagestaining the clergy. There was general agreement among these three men that it would be advantageous to ‘sell off’ the seldom used properties associated with small and declining denominational memberships. From this would come the ‘sharing’ of one building with worship services and other activities on a rostered basis. It is noted that a 51-question-‘Census’ form has been circulated among the major denominations in the last couple of weeks, of which we have obtained a copy. (See more comments this issue !)

A few years ago there was a census form circulated among the churches with some very interesting questions and in view of this latest ‘census’ we must be ever mindful of the Roman Catholic Church’s emphasis on “Ecumenism”. Also we must consider whether the information we give will find its way on to a computer ‘register’ for such an exercise as mentioned above and any other cross information that is required for statistical purposes.

The article makes further comment regarding the serious inroads Pentecostal groups made against both the Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches in Latin America and Eastern Europe. Also is mentioned Brazil which now had a million Baptists and the Baptist World Alliance (read into this ‘Arm of World Council of Churches - which the Baptist World Alliance is) published a statement that “God has called us to evangelise Poland”. (I wonder what Pope John Paul II would have to say about this?...J.S.) Further comments were made of being optimistic about the ecumenical movement. He highlighted the Pope’s encyclical letter on unity, Ut Unum Sint (That They May Be One) and John Paul II’s statement giving thanks that “The Lord that has led us to make progress along the path of unity and communion between Christians, a path so difficult but so full of joy”. ....Ecumenism was suffering a malaise Cardinal Cassidy said. “There is a feeling of impatience with the progress that is being made, and with the difficulties being encountered.” He believed the NEW MILLENNIUM was a great opportunity to further Christian unity. Further comments were made regarding the Anglican and Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC)... difficulties over the ordination of women priests. However, the final paragraph revealed something very interesting: The Cardinal reported on a possible breakthrough with the LUTHERAN WORLD FEDERATION, which would wipe out the bitter denunciation each church had made against the other 450 years ago. (The Reformation).

When taking into consideration the church census, the ability to quote the statistics of denominational numbers, particularly the Brazilian Baptists and to comment that Ecumenism was suffering a malaise would lead one to think that this census is not restricted to Australia. Such information in the hands of the Vatican will greatly assist the amalgamation of all religions under the One World Religion as revealed in Revelation 17. The ‘new millennium’ as quoted has its beginnings with “The Year of Jubilee 2000” as reported in earlier “Despatch” Magazines.

JESUS ‘BURIED IN FRANCE’
"The Sunday Mail" 25th August, 1996.
From Kim Willsher in Languedoc, France.

This opening statement is sure to capture the attention of the athiests and infidels. To those who know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, Lord and Master, it is a statement that proves the great darkness in which these men are imprisoned. The article describes in great detail all the historical and geographical circumstances from which Mr. Andrews and Mr. Schellenberger, after more than 3 years of painstaking research, believe Jesus was a human Messiah who could not physically rise from the dead. The article makes for interesting reading from the point of view of the Bible, especially in Romans 6:9 Also see 1 Peter 1:3, Hebrews 13:20, 1 Corinthians 15:4-23. Perhaps we could call these “Latter day Sadducees”?
If these men and their followers declare that Jesus was a human Messiah who could not physically rise from the dead, they will come under strong delusion as in II Thessalonians 2:8-12. They will accept the ‘counterfeit’ resurrection of the Beast as set forth in Revelation 13:1-9 as ‘seeing’ is believing.
