Truth Is Coming Out About This False Religion

RISE

Did the ancient Babylonian 'Queen of Heaven' become the Roman goddess? Discover the shocking, hidden connection between the pagan divine feminine and symbolism in Rome, in this fast-paced exploration of ancient mythology.

In this video, we explore how Babylonian religious cults, symbols, and myths travelled from Mesopotamia to the modern day, shaping "Romanism" and modern false teachings of the divine feminine.

The video addresses significant concerns regarding the incorporation of Gnostic Jesus, mysticism, and paganism into Christianity. We explore how this creates an "unholy mix" that deviates from core scripture. The discussion aims to highlight these theological differences and guide viewers toward a deeper understanding of true Christianity.

As stated, showing and discussing these things is not meant to condemn individuals, but in the hopes that it may help raise awareness and draw viewers to the true Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ - so that souls may be saved at the cross and people set free from the bondage of counterfeit philosophies.

For reference, the topic of discussion is in reference to the Queen of Heaven mentioned in Jeremiah 44:19, and warned about in other parts of the Bible. I'm still learning how to talk about these things in love and hope to grow in my walk as I go by day to day and be sanctified.

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. - 1 Corinthians 1:24

Pastor in Mexico jailed, expelled for refusing to participate in Catholic ritual

Officials in a village in southern Mexico’s Oaxaca state detained for five days and then expelled a Protestant pastor for refusing to participate in Catholic church rituals, according to a U.K-based advocacy group.

In Santiago Malacatepec, San Juan Mazatlán Municipality in eastern Oaxaca, local Catholics on Jan. 15 ordered Pastor Mariano Velásquez Martínez to light candles, kneel and pray to an image of St. James as part of the village’s Roman Catholic festival, Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) reported.

Pastor Velásquez Martínez had accepted a leadership position in the community on the understanding that he would be required only to provide candles and flowers for the Catholic festival, according to CSW. When he refused to kneel and pray to the image, a festival leader complained to village leaders.

“Ignoring the terms of the original agreement, the local authorities detained Pastor Velásquez Martínez for five days,” CSW stated. “He was then bound with a rope and taken before an assembly of about 180 men, where an announcement was made by the village authorities that he was to be expelled.”

Officials forced Pastor Velásquez Martínez to sign a document that forcibly displaced him from the community, the group reported.

“He was not provided with a copy and fears it will be used to fabricate the story that he left the community voluntarily,” CSW stated. “The pastor, his wife and 3-month-old baby are now residing temporarily with relatives in Oaxaca City.”

Pastor Velásquez Martínez has led the 25-member Iglesia Camino Nuevo y Vivo in Santiago Malacatepec since the forced displacement of its previous pastor in 2023, CSW reported.

The case follows passage of legislation in the Oaxaca State Congress in September against forced displacement that calls for prison sentences of 10 to 18 years for those found guilty, along with fines. Oaxaca is the fifth state to pass such a law, along with Chiapas, Guerrero, Sinaloa and Zacatecas.

“Local officials told CSW that they estimate that around half of cases of forced displacement in Oaxaca state can be linked to religious intolerance,” the group stated.

Porfirio Flores Zúñiga, an attorney and representative of the Fellowship of Pastors, called on the Oaxaca Attorney General’s Office and the Secretary of Government of Oaxaca to apply the newly approved Forced Displacement Law in this case.

Flores Zúñiga filed a criminal complaint with the Attorney General of Oaxaca against Santiago Malacatepec officials Melquiades Castro and Andrés Retes, accusing them of arbitrary actions and abuse of authority, according to newspaper El Universal Oaxaca. The attorney also reportedly filed a complaint with the Defense of Human Rights of the People of Oaxaca (Defensoría de los Derechos Humanos del Pueblo de Oaxaca, DDHPO) seeking that it take action.

Authorities had taken no action as of Jan. 19, Flores Zúñiga said, leading him to comment to the newspaper that the state response is insufficient to handle cases of religious intolerance.

CSW’s Director of Advocacy Anna Lee Stangl said in a press statement that the arbitrary detention of Pastor Velásquez Martínez and the subsequent forced displacement of him and his family was unconscionable.

Catholic statues thrust a Massachusetts city into a national religious liberty debate

Catholic statues thrust a Massachusetts city into a national religious liberty debate

Updated October 28, 2025 12:00 p.m. ET

Key Points
 
  • More than a dozen Quincy, Massachusetts, residents joined a lawsuit alleging that the city was violating religious neutrality as outlined in the state constitution.
  • The Becket Fund, which successfully represented Hobby Lobby in a landmark Supreme Court case a decade ago, is representing the city in the case.
  • The Supreme Court has previously ruled in favor of government entities displaying explicitly Christian objects in cases where they identified a secular purpose outweighing the religious undertones.

A showdown over Catholic statues on a public building in a Massachusetts city represents yet another fight in a national conversation about the separation of church and state.

Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch commissioned statues of St. Michael and St. Florian, the patron saints of police and firefighters, to adorn its new police headquarters. But more than a dozen residents are suing Koch, alleging that the city is violating religious neutrality as outlined in the state constitution.

A judge granted a preliminary injunction in mid-October, barring the statues from being installed as litigation continues.

Koch told The Patriot Ledger, part of the USA TODAY Network, that the city would be appealing the ruling.

"We chose the statues of Michael and Florian to honor Quincy’s first responders, not to promote any religion," Koch said. "These figures are recognized symbols of courage and sacrifice in police and fire communities across the world.”

Pope Leo Blessing Ice Sparks Anger: ‘Pagan Earth-Worship Ritual’

Multiple people have spoken out against Pope Leo blessing a block of ice during a global church summit on climate change, with one calling it part of a “weird pagan Earth-worshipping hippy ritual.”

Leo carried out the blessing while he presided over the 10th anniversary celebration of immediate predecessor Pope Francis's landmark ecological encyclical (a papal letter sent to all Roman Catholic bishops), Laudato Si, or Praised Be.

Pope Leo was presiding over the Raising Hope for Climate Justice’ International Conference at Castel Gandolfo, just south of Rome, in front of more than 1,000 people, according to the National Catholic Reporter.

Footage of him blessing a block of ice has been shared widely online. Several figures have criticized the move, classing it as “paganism” and saying the “the leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense.”
