Lady Gaga the Devil’s Messenger


Recently, American rock star Lady Gaga canceled an Indonesian concert amid Muslim protest fears. Her provocative immodesty and satanic song lyrics have caused Muslims to view her as the “devil’s messenger.” With American performers like Lady Gaga, it is no wonder why Islamic nations refer to America as the Great Satan. Al Aribiya News reported:

Earlier this month Jakarta police refused approval for the show after the hardline Islamic Defenders Front threatened violence if Lady Gaga performed, calling her a “devil’s messenger” who wears only a “bra and panties” on stage. (online source)

The fact that Muslims recognize the diabolical influence of Lady Gaga while some American “Christians” defend her spirituality and belief in Jesus is further evidence that we are living in perilous times. “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:2-5).

On Larry King Live, Lady Gaga says, “I believe in Jesus, I believe in God, I’m very spiritual, I pray” (online source). The Bible says, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” (James 2:19,20). In other words, belief is not enough. Even devils believe in Jesus. A person cannot expect to live like the devil and be justified with God.

In one of her recent singles called “Judas” she speaks about her love affair with Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus and killed himself. Jesus referred to Judas as the “son of perdition” (John 17:12) and “it had been good for that man if he had not been born” (Matthew 26:24). Rather than calling Jesus her King, she refers to Judas as her king. She sings, “I’ll bring him down, bring him down, down / A king with no crown, king with no crown. The song also states:

Ohohohoh
I’m in love with Judas

Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas
Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA

When he comes to me I am ready
I’ll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
Even after three times he betrays me . . .

Notice her blasphemy by replacing Jesus in the biblical account with Judas. “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment” (John 12:3). Judas spoke against Mary worshiping Jesus by wiping His feet with her hair. Judas said, “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?” (John 12:5). Judas said this not because he cared for the poor but because he was a thief and carried the disciples money bag stealing what was put in it. Jesus said to Judas, ”Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.” (John 12:6). Yet Gaga worships Judas in Jesus’ place. She continues:

In the most Biblical sense,
I am beyond repentance
Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
But in the cultural sense
I just speak in future tense
Judas, kiss me if offenced,
Or wear an ear condom next time

Headcoverings For Women

by Zac Poonen

What does the Bible teach about head-covering for women in the church meetings?

This has become a controversial subject in churches in Western countries and among Westernized Christians in India.

Further: 99% of sisters who do cover their heads when praying and prophesying do not know WHY they do so.

And 99% of brothers who keep their heads uncovered when praying and prophesying do not know WHY they do so.

We begin this study with the conviction that the entire message of the Bible is the Word of God without any error.

There are two fundamental truths that we must bear in mind as we seek to understand God’s Word for us today.

On the day of Pentecost (Acts 2), God abolished the old covenant and began to deal with man thereafter under the terms of the new covenant (Heb.8).

There are historical and teaching sections in the New Testament. We must find the basis for new covenant doctrines only in the teaching sections. The historical sections merely tell us what the apostles and early Christians did. Many false teachings have developed from doctrines based only on the Acts of the Apostles – two examples being: (i) all believers must speak in tongues (based on Acts 2:4); and (ii) all believers must share a common purse (based on Acts 2:44).

Jesus told His disciples just before He went to the cross, “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear (understand) them now. But when the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth” (Jn.16:12,13). Jesus wanted to teach His disciples many more truths than He did while He was on earth. But they would not have been able to understand them until the Holy Spirit came to dwell within them and renewed their minds and gave them revelation. Some of these truths are what we find written in the New Testament epistles. So the epistles also contain commands from the Lord Jesus – but given through His apostles.

If we reject any command in any of the New Testament epistles, saying it was only for the time and place when it was written and not for us today, then in order to be consistent, we must give equal freedom to other people to reject other commands in the epistles and in the teachings of Jesus as also being only for that time and not for us today. For example, we must, in that case, give freedom to people to teach that forbidding homosexual behavior and same-sex marriages and divorces and premarital sexual intercourse, etc., were only for the first century and not for us today. Otherwise we will be inconsistent.

It is inconsistent, therefore, to say that every command in the New Testament is relevant for us today, and then to reject just this one command to women to cover their heads when they pray or prophesy (1 Cor.11:1-16). Continue reading “Headcoverings For Women” »

Ladies, Does How You Dress Cause Men to Lust? by Al Martin

Does how you dress honor God? Does how you dress cause men to stumble and lust? I pray this message will awaken sisters in Christ consciences to the errors in your dress that is causing some of the little ones of the Lord to stumble. “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works” (1 Timothy 2:9-10). “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Peter 3:1-4).
