DISINFORMATION IN THE ‘NEW AGE’ –
THE SAD AND UGLY SAGA OF TEXE MARRS
I
I must confess that I felt so isolated doing the original public work against the New Age Movement, that I was then happy to have company. I had not read his book word for word and did not then realize that parts of the book had been copied – word for word – from my original THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW.
I had, however, fears from the very beginning that Texe Marrs was turning a serious subject into sensationalism via The National Enquirer type sensationalism.
In the early 1990’s. I perused Pat Robertson’s book, THE NEW WORLD ORDER. I could not help but notice that there was material evidently directly copied from THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW. I called the publisher and complained. They called me back. They acknowledged it was my material and that they would either have to remove it the next printing and/or give me a credit. To add insult to injury, the material copied from me was attributed to the ads by Benjamin Crème proclaiming “The Christ is Now Here.” It was obvious that whoever had penned the words had clearly not read the ad, reproduced in its entirety on the back of my 1983 book. I was then sent a letter from Robertson’s publisher telling me that the material they used had appeared prior to their using it in Tal Brooke’s 1989 book, WHEN THE WORLD WILL BE AS ONE.
Since Tal Brooke had gone to extreme lengths to work to blackball both me and my original work against the New Age Movement in the Christian community, I was justifiably puzzled and angered. I called and wrote his publisher, Harvest House, and complained. They wrote me back. They acknowledged that the original work was mine and that they would either have to remove it and/or give me a credit. Again, it was perfectly clear that Tal Brooke had evidently not read the ad content he purported to quote. I then received a letter from Harvest House saying, “Mrs. Cumbey, we think you should know that two years before Tal Brooke’s book was released, Texe Marrs used this same material in his 1987 book. As I had enjoyed an evidently pleasant conversation with Texe Marrs two weeks earlier, I was surprised. I wrote him a letter and requested an explanation.
Texe Marrs was the only one not man enough to admit he had taken the material from me. He composed several pages of circuitous writing saying that the materials had been taken from books newer than my 1983 book, therefore, how could he have copied it from me? He then went on to say, “look, the Holy Spirit gave you that material. Why couldn’t He have given the same material to me?”
Yeah, sure, Texe. Word for word?
Well, Texe has much material that was not copied from me in his writings and for which I would never care to take blame and/or credit. I noticed he was advertising in NEXUS Magazine, in and of itself a New Age periodical. I saw that he was shamelessly pandering to both Jew and Catholic bashing. I recalled the very well documented strategy of the New Agers to pit the target groups of the “Old Agers” off against each other – Catholic vs. Protestant; Jew vs. Christian; Jews and Christians vs Moslems, and I frequently went, hmmm, I wonder?
When I saw Texe Marrs and Terry Cook in an ugly public fight I appealed to both to stop bashing and devouring each other. I still believed that even though Texe had obviously and shamelessly plagiarized my original work and research, that we were on the same team.
Now I know that we are not. I wonder if we ever have been. He left Pastor Bullock’s church under very ugly circumstances, threatening litigation against the good minister.
His new catalog IS “New Age,” -- in the very skimpiest of disguises -- and in the very ugliest sense of the word. It carries as allegedly reputable works books by unashamed anti—Semites such as Des Griffin and Ted Pike. His table of contents carries a section, “Judaism, Jews, Israel, and the Talmud.” It even carries the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,” a forgery put into circulation by one Yuliana (Justine) Glinka, one of Madame Blavatsky’s foremost Parisian disciples. He presents a tape of his own: “The Hidden Agenda – the Ten Awful Goals of the Illuminati’s World Zionist Council.”
I am writing this material while I am unquestionably VERY ANGRY. I hope I stay angry at this perversion of legitimate work against the New Age Movement by one who sometimes managed to get his name associated with mine. To a lesser extent, I have had the same quarrel with Gary Kah. The Jews are clearly a target of New Age planners and as both Texe Marrs and Gary Kah claim to be familiar with the Alice Bailey works, they well know the same as well as I.
Please, please, please – NEVERASSOCIATEMYNAMEAND/ORMY WORKWITHTHATOFTEXEMARRS – we are obviously coming from very different perspectives – and most likely headed for two very different eternal places. Texe Marrs (and to a lesser extent Gary Kah who relied on anti-Semite Eustace Mullins for a significant part of at least his first book against the New Age Movement) is propagating the very same theories Hitler used to incite a German generation into genocide of the Jews.
Jesus said that it was inevitable but that evil would come, but WOE TO HIM THROUGH WHOM IT CAME. Let’s hope that Texe Marrs and Gary Kah will get that message – quickly – and focus their considerable talents on the real enemies instead of pitting off the three major monotheistic targets of New Age planners against each other !

THE SAD AND UGLY SAGA OF TEXE MARRS

Critique Of Texe Mars Writings
did not meet Texe Marrs until September, 1987, a day before I finished two weeks of Texan speaking engagements. I shared a platform with him the night before leaving at a Baptist Church in Austin, Texas. It was then Texe Marrs’ home church. His pastor, to my surprise, said to me when picking me up from the airport, “Now I don’t want any conflict between you and Texe Marrs.”I must confess that I felt so isolated doing the original public work against the New Age Movement, that I was then happy to have company. I had not read his book word for word and did not then realize that parts of the book had been copied – word for word – from my original THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW.
Texe and Wanda Marrs have been in the prophetic ministry for over 19 years. Texe Marrs is a retired U.S. Air Force Officer and has taught on the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin. Christians/Does Texe Marrs teach salvation by works instead of grace? Recently I visited a website who were adamant that Marrs was a false teacher for preaching salvation by faith plus works in Jesus Christ and not grace alone (1Cor 15:1-4 and Eph 2:8-9 ) Out of curiosity I went Marrs power of prophecy site to check what he believes for salvation. Texe Marrs (1944–) is an American author and conspiracy theorist. His books Dark Secrets of the New Age and Mystery Mark of the New Age were both #1 bestsellers on the Christian book market in 1987-88. Marrs was also a major promoter of Satanic Panic and a scare within American evangelical Christendom over the New Age movement. PrisonerOfHope: Sad. People like him will defend and follow their favorite false teachers right into hell. PrisonerOfHope: Happy birthday to Charlie Garrett of The Superior Word! Midnight: Happy birthday, Pastor Charlie! PrisonerOfHope: Reminder, JD Farag isn't doing a prophecy update this week. Energized by demon powers, the plot to destroy Christianity has succeeded beyond the elite’s wildest dreams. Famous-name Christian leaders have sold-out to Satan. Seeking to make a name for themselves and to reap financial gain, these wicked men have been given over to a reprobate mind.

Who Is Texe Marrs
Jesus said that it was inevitable but that evil would come, but WOE TO HIM THROUGH WHOM IT CAME. Let’s hope that Texe Marrs and Gary Kah will get that message – quickly – and focus their considerable talents on the real enemies instead of pitting off the three major monotheistic targets of New Age planners against each other !
Texe Marrs, president of Power of Prophecy Ministries and RiverCrest Publishing in Austin, Texas, is a controversial preacher and author of several 'conspiracy' books. The reason The Refiner's Fire is challenging him is because of his anti-Semitic, hateful stance against not only the Jews, but also Messianic Judaism, in general. Below, we examine some of Marrs' theology.
Some of the hateful rhetoric espoused by Pastor Marrs can be found at Who Are God's Chosen People? where he says, in part:
Everyday I get mail from sincere folks who are confused about the Bible's teachings on Israel. The typical letter writer or e-mailer says, 'Texe, I've been taught all my life that the Jewish race is God's Chosen People and that the Jews are Abraham's seed, heirs to the promise. Have I been taught an error?' And my answer to these good, but propagandized and confused people, is yes, you have been misled! The scriptures tell us—and this cannot be contested—that:(l) The Jewish race is not God's Chosen People and...(2) The Jewish race is not Abraham's seed, and not heirs to the promise. Who, if not the Jews, are God's Chosen People? Answer: Why, Christians of course! Christians are God's Chosen People. |
Really? WHEN did Christians 'replace' the Jews as God's Chosen? We challenge Marrs to provide us with chapter and verse! Marrs personifies the rampant anti-Semitism espoused in some churches! Perhaps someone should remind Marrs that he is a 'grafted-in' Gentile believer who does not support the root (Israel); the root supports him (Romans 11:18)! May it be understood clearly and never forgotten: Gentile believers have been grafted into Israel's tree, and they are nourished by the ancient Jewish root.
We, at The Refiner's Fire, suggest that Marrs consult the Holy Spirit to help him understand what the Bible REALLY says about the Jews:
Genesis 12:3 - 'I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.'
Deuteronomy 7:6-8: For you are a people set apart as holy for ADONAI your God. ADONAI your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. 7 ADONAI didn't set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people - on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 Rather, it was because ADONAI loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that ADONAI brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt.
In the above Scripture, God is speaking to Abraham and the Jews - NOT to the Gentiles! Nobody has replaced them. As a matter of fact, 'replacement theology' is a satanic deception! The Jews ARE God's Chosen and the Texe Marsses of this world cannot change that fact, no matter HOW they try to twist Scripture!
All human beings are God's creation and no one can Biblically claim the distinction of being better than anyone else. Historically, the world slipped away from its relationship with God, and eventually the entire world was submerged in idolatry. Abraham re-discovered the idea of one God, and chose to accept the challenge to change the world through an understanding of monotheism and morality. Through his dedication and willingness to give up everything for God, he was 'chosen' - and all his descendants after him - to become the teachers of morality. Abraham chose God, and thus God chose Abraham, and that is why the Jews are God's 'Chosen'. That does not make them 'better' than the rest of God's creation.
There are a myriad websites on the 'net that try to debunk this fact and make Jews out to be 'bad guys and weirdos' - from the likes of the KKK and other 'white supremacist' hate groups, to 'Christians' like Texe Marrs who support the idea of 'replacement theology'. (It obviously hasn't occurred to them that, had their supposed 'enemies' the Jews not be dispersed into the nations, then the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would have remained tiny Israel's secret. Had the JEWISH disciples not preached the salvation of Yeshua (Jesus), the Gentiles would never had had their 'new' religion of Christianity. But, rather than to be grateful, 'Christians' such as Marrs desire to tear the Jews apart with the words of their mouth and make the world believe that Jews are heathens who have been replaced by 'Christians'! Dream on, Marrs!)
Continuing, Texe Marrs explores the boom of 'Messianic Judaism.'
Entire congregations of Baptist, Pentecostal, even Presbyterian and other denominational churches are 'going Jew!' Their pastors demand to be called 'Rabbi.' Their people are wearing Jewish garments and are into Yiddish songs and dancing in a circle. Meanwhile, some are working on a 'Christian Talmud,' a book of laws and traditions for all Christians to obey. Of course, the 'Rabbis' of these churches are demanding their followers honor all the old Jewish holy days, including Purim, Rosh Hoshanah, Yom Kippur, etc. In some instances, Jesus is being changed into a mere 'Rabbi' himself, or one of many ancient Jewish 'sages.' Meanwhile, Jews who convert to Christianity are not Christians, they are said to be 'completed Jews.' Many in this fast growth, pro-Zionist movement predict it will eventually sweep away all vestiges of the 'old, obsolete Christianity,' replacing it with a new form of 'Judaic New Age holiness.' |
Wow! 'Going Jew!' How anti-Semitic can one get? If Marrs would don the mind of Christ for once in his life and put aside his hatred for the Jews, he might actually learn that Messianic Jews and Gentiles don't sing 'Yiddish' songs - they sing Hebrew songs. Hebrew and Aramaic, just as a reminder, were the languages of our Lord Yeshua. Also, that 'dancing in a circle' happens to be Davidic Dance which is a physical expression of praise, thanksgiving and joy to Elohim (God).
Next: If, in fact, 'some are working on a 'Christian Talmud', then those people are totally off the mark, because ALL that matters is GOD'S Word, and nothing else.
Question for ya, Texe, ol' buddy:WHEN and WHERE in Scripture did God ever tell us to stop celebrating the Biblical feasts? WHEN and WHERE did He tell you to celebrate Christmas and Easter, complete with their paganistic ideas and traditions? Did 'Jesus' fulfill Christmas and Easter in any way? Well, YESHUA (His given, HEBREW name which means 'Salvation'!) has so far fulfilled the first four BIBLICAL holy days, with three more to go (the next one should be the Rapture).
Furthermore, if anybody has changed Yeshua into a mere 'Rabbi', then they are off the mark and completely Torah-centered, and do not represent TRUE Messianic believers who know that Yeshua is the ONLY way to Salvation!
Marrs' jab, 'Meanwhile, Jews who convert to Christianity are not Christians, they are said to be 'completed Jews' again shows he doesn't have a clue what Messianic Judaism is all about. First of all, a Jew doesn't have to 'convert to Christianity'. Christianity is CONTINUATION of Judaism.
Secondly, what's wrong with being called a 'completed Jew'? Rather than to poke fun at them, a REAL Christian would rejoice that the spiritual eyes of a Jew have finally been opened! A Christian who pokes fun at someone can only be called a hypocrite! And why are 'completed Jews' not called Christians? Because they are Torah-observant! They realize that God gave us a new COVENANT via yeshua, NOT a new Torah!
Marrs' article All Hail the Master Race starts out with the following nonsensical, supposedly Jewish quote: 'Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.'
He continues: If I asked you what group of people embrace a set of doctrines like this, what would your answer be? Most of you would probably answer, 'The Nazis.' Today, in fact, it is Jews who make all these poisonous claims to racial superiority. No, not all the Jews. But, as I will document, a huge number of leaders among the Jews ascribe to these wicked and dangerous theories of racial and blood superiority.....
![Texe Texe](/uploads/1/2/6/5/126585120/319303447.jpg)
Now, why would a supposedly educated man like Marrs make such a stupid claim? Jews absolutely do NOT 'claim racial superiority'! GOD said the Jews were His Chosen. That does NOT in any way suggest 'racial superiority'! Furthermore, since the Jews are not a 'race' they can't claim racial superiority'! Shame on you, Texe Marrs, for deliberately trying to lead people astray! Race is a genetic distinction, and refers to people with shared ancestry and shared genetic traits. You can't change your race; it's in your DNA. But you CAN convert to Judaism. People of various races can be Jewish. So, the Jews are not a 'race' but a 'nation of people'.
Even the leaders of Israel My Glory, a fanatically pro-Zionist, supposedly Christian ministry, have made note of the bizarre views of the Jews as found in their own book of laws and traditions, the Jewish Talmud. The organization's magazine (Dec./Jan. 1995/1996) published a revealing article detailing many of the hate-filled Talmudic beliefs of the Rabbis and their Zionist followers.... ...God is not a racist. He has no use for haters. In the Holy Bible, our Saviour totally refutes and condemns the heinous and unconscionable Master Race theory, confirming to us that there is nothing holy in men's flesh and blood: 'Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God' (I Corinthians 15:50). In the Bible, King David flatly told the unrighteous Jews that even though by tradition they claimed they were gods, 'ye shall die like men' (Psalm 82:1-8). The Jews fervently believe their blood is divine, and that only the Jews comprise a Holy Nation. They view themselves as 'God's Chosen,' a special Master Race. Their Zionist leaders smugly view other peoples as vermin, as inferior and of little value. The Jews and their leaders are sadly mistaken. They are in dire need of instruction and repentance. Moreover, our God is preparing for them a great surprise. Unless they repent of their racism and sins and turn to Jesus Christ, these elitist Jews are going to a place where there is a lot of room. Indeed, Proverbs 27:20 and Isaiah 5:14 assure us that Hell is never full, and is always being enlarged. Thus, there is plenty of room amidst the flames for the ungodly Jews whose arrogance and pride cause them to esteem themselves the Master Race |
And the above proves what? Again, rather than delighting in the fact that the spiritual eyes of most Jews have not yet been opened, perhaps Marrs should consider PRAYING that God would do so, soon! (Doesn't he sound EXACTLY like a White Supremacist?) The Talmud is nothing more than rabbinical commentary on the 'oral law' - something that doesn't even exist, because the Bible tells us that Moshe (Moses) wrote down EVERYTHING. (This renders Marrs' rant invalid, since he's fighting against something GOD never ordained!) Unfortunately, for the Jews, it's still a big deal.
Texe Marrs False Teachings Of Christ
In the meantime, Marrs should REJOICE that the Talmud even MENTIONS Messiah! (By the way, Talmud does NOT mention anyone named 'Jesus'....) The Talmud (thanks be to God!) even shows evidence of Messiah at 30 C.E. in ways most Christians have never even thought about! Perhaps it's time Texe Marrs got a REAL lesson in Jewish history from some place besides his own, limited mindset.....
At Two Scorpions in a Bottle Texe Marrs writes:
Both Judaism and Islam reject the world's only true religion, Christianity. Judaism's holiest book, the Jewish Talmud, declares that Jesus was a blasphemer who, today, as punishment, is burning in hell in fiery excrement. The Koran, the holiest book of the Moslems, is more charitable and kind to our Saviour. The Koran teaches that Jesus is not the Son of God, but does portray Him as a lower-level prophet and messenger. However, this in no way makes Islam any less evil, or less satanic a religion. ...In sum, both Judaism and Islam have a hellish, war-making and destructive theology that is far, far removed from that of Christianity. The New Testament urges Christians to be peacemakers. ('Blessed are the Meek'—Jesus) and to love their enemies. The Talmud and the Koran both say, in essence, go out and seize. Plunder! If there is a distinction in theology, the more favorable, more altruistic intent would have to be on the side of Islam. The Moslems are commanded to make Allah (not God—Allah) the focus of their lives. The Jews religion and theology persuades them that they collectively are God! Truly, what we have here, on international display, are two deadly scorpions coming up out of a bottle. It would have been best to keep both the scorpions in that bottle but, stupidly, America has removed the cork on the bottle and the two have now come forth, boldly springing into action before our eyes. |
The TRUE religion is Christianity? If that were the case, then ALL CHRISTIANS would be Torah-observant, and celebrating the BIBLICAL feasts and the God-ordained seventh day Sabbath! Christianity is a continuation of Judaism and was never meant to be a separate form of worship. Messianic Judaism, which he tries so hard to debunk, honors those Jewish roots because we adhere to Torah. Unlike Marrs, we haven't forgotten the fact that Yeshua (Jesus) was a Torah-observant, Biblical feast and Sabbath keeping, synagogue-attending/teaching, kosher JEW who said He came NOT to abolish but to fulfill/establish/confirm Torah (God's original teachings). Unlike Marss, we haven't forgotten that, without God's original teaching, NOBODY would know how to behave toward God and towards each other. Today's decadent world provides ample proof of what happens to people who ignore God's Torah...
'The Jews religion and theology persuades them that they collectively are God!' Prove that Jews actually allege that, Marrs! Find us a Jew who has actually made that statement! From the things you espouse, it is clear that you have been sent straight from the depths of hell to deceive the world and turn everyone against the Jews. Shame on you! We would LOVE to be a fly on the wall come Judgment Day because YOU have a lot to answer for!
At Conspiracy World.Com, Marrs offers the following to a writer:
First, please understand that the New Testament and the Old Testament harmonize. The whole counsel of God is consistent. In the Old Testament, in Genesis, the land was promised to Abraham's seed. Galatians 3:26-29 in the New Testament identifies Abraham's seed as those who are Christ's, whether Jew or Gentile. In other words: Christians. |
Whoah! Back up! Where does that verse say anything about 'Christians'? While that verse DOES tells us we are all ONE in Christ, it does NOT mean that suddenly God's promise to Abraham or the Jews have been negated, or that the Jews have in any way been replaced! As a 'grafted-in' Gentile, you will get to partake of the promise, but that's all. If you are a Gentile, then you're not a Jew; you are simply part of the whole who GETS to reap the benefits of God's promise. Period. End of story.
For those who might like to claim that the land was promised to 'Israel,' fine. Galatians 6:16 identifies Christians as the 'Israel of God.' |
The Refiner's Fire CHALLENGES Texe Marrs to explain HOW 'Gal. 6:16 identifies Christians as the 'Israel of God.' Do you see the word 'Christian' anywhere??? What asinine arrogance! Taking Scripture totally out of context and trying to put God in a box!
Texe, the Land WAS promised to Israel! Genesis 15:18 promises that the Jewish people would have their own country: On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram He said, 'To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates...' This is talking specifically about the entire land of Israel. In truth, God gave more land to Israel than they possess even now!
Eekiel 36:8-10 says Israel would be restored as a nation and repopulated with its people: 'But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home. I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown, and I will multiply the number of people upon you, even the whole house of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.' The prophet Ezekiel said that the Jews would return, rebuild and repopulate their fallen cities. In 1948, there were about 600,000 Jews living in Israel. Today there are around seven million! Many more Jews throughout the world are returning to Israel each year. How does THAT fit into your theory, Texe Marrs?
God even made one of His major end-time prophecies comes true (and in ONE DAY! Isaiah 66:7-8) in 1948 when, because the world briefly felt sorry for the Jews because of the Holocaust, and consequently returned Israel to them. God used the idiocy of HITLER to make one of His end time prophecies happen!....Hopefully, God will use the hypocrisy of Texe Marrs for HIS Glory, someday!
Indeed, the books of Daniel (Old Testament) and Revelation (New Testament) state that the kingdoms of this world shall become the property of God's people; that is Christians. Revelation 2:26 adds that overcomers (who have the testimony of Jesus) will be given 'power over the nations.' In other words, Christians will have power over all the nations, will possess all the land, including the physical nation of Israel and all Arab nations. Eventually, Peter says there will be new heavens and a new earth. This is God's promise to Abraham's seed fulfilled. |
Bible lesson for Texe Marrs: Let's examine Revelation 2:26 IN CONTEXT!
Revelation 2: 26 To him who wins the victory and does what I want until the goal is reached, I will give him authority over the nations....
Nothing about 'the testimony of Jesus' or CHRISTIANS inheriting the property of God's people! However, let's check the Book of Revelation a bit further where it says:
Revelation 12: 17 'The dragon was infuriated over the woman and went off to fight the rest of her children, those who obey God's commands and bear witness to Yeshua.'
Revelation 14: 12 'This is when perseverance is needed on the part of God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise Yeshua's faithfulness.'
Notice Yeshua isn't talking about just the Ten Commandments; He's talking about all of God's commands - TORAH. There's nothing to reveal that this refers to just the Ten Commandments. If it was talking about just the TEN Commandments, Scripture would have said so.
So that begs the question:WHO has the testimony of Yeshua AND keeps the commands of God? It's not the Christians! They ignore Torah completely. They don't even keep the seventh day Sabbath or the feasts! The correct answer here is: Messianic believers!
....Isn't it ridiculous for the Judaizers to exalt corruptible Jewish flesh when God's Word says that if a Jew (or Gentile) does not have God's Spirit, he is not of God?.... |
Isn't ridiculous for us to be reading the rantings of someone who doesn't know his Bible OR Jewish history? For someone to sit there, 'fat, dumb and happy', as the saying goes, and come across as ELATED over the fact that Jews don't know Christ, that person is NOT of God! He is an imposter, sent to lead the world astray!
Marrs has many more silly assertions, but enough is enough. You get the gist....
If the Judaizers wish to argue further, let them call God's Apostle, Peter, a liar, and me as well, because I agree with Peter and with the Scriptures. |
The Refiner's Fire is not afraid to say it: Texe Marrs: You're a LIAR! Not only that, you haven't got a clue about God or the Bible, and we at The Refiner's Fire pray that the Holy Spirit will open your blind eyes, once and for all. If that doesn't happen, then you weren't of God in the first place!
No matter how much Marrs tries to defend himself against the allegations on his various websites, he IS an anti-Semite. Satan is the father of anti-Semitism, and therefore Marrs, who seems intent on spreading Satan's lies, must be a follower of Satan. As any discerning person can see, Texe Marrs sounds VERY MUCH like one of the false prophets that the Bible warns us about:
Jeremiah 23: 16 ADONAI-Tzva'ot says: 'Don't listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are making you act foolishly, telling you visions from their own minds and not from the mouth of ADONAI.
Matthew 24: 10 At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, 11 many false prophets will appear and fool many people; 12 and many people's love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah. 13 But whoever holds out til the end wil be delivered. 14 And this Good News about the Kingdom will be announced throughout the whole world as a witness to all the Goyim. It is then that the end will come.
