Pro-LGBT event in Enniskillen Church of Ireland cathedral

2 Timothy 3:13: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”

The LGBT influence in the professing church is continuing to gain ground.

One need only look at the recent deplorable situation where a man who had entered a sodomite ‘marriage’, who also happened to be a Presbyterian elder in a church in the Republic of Ireland, was thrown out of the eldership and the consternation this met with from numerous figures in the Presbyterian Church.

Indeed, virtually every day the Belfast Telegraph is replete with letters from some professing Christian or another who is most irate a man whose lifestyle choice is described by God as an “abomination” was ejected from leadership in the church.

It is ironic they have been so critical and, gasp, judgmental about individuals making this decision, when they preach a gospel of “judge not” to any who condemn homosexuality for what it is – sin.

Many have raised criticisms over the process by which the matter was handled, though this is something we are not especially concerned with, asides from the question as to why it took so long to remove Steven Smyrl from the eldership (apparently around six months from the ‘marriage’)?

Also concerning is the fact that he was apparently known to be a homosexual before his ‘marriage’, certainly by his congregation, as he had been in a same-sex relationship for 20 years and obtained a civil partnership in 2011.

Regardless, it is emblematic of the growing acceptance of sodomy within the church that such a circumstance has occurred.

And further evidence of the increasing prevalence of spokespeople for the sodomite movement in the church came on Monday night this week, when the LGBT organisation JustLOVE held what was described as an “LGBT affirming faith event” at St Macartin’s Hall in Enniskillen.

This is the church hall owned by the Church of Ireland’s St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen.

The driving force behind this JustLOVE event was none other than sodomite ‘Pride’ parading Rev Andrew Rawding (pictured, top), who will tonight (Thursday) host in his rectory a meeting of a new LGBT group, Mid Ulster Pride.

We had been made aware of this meeting in Enniskillen prior to its taking place but knew few further details of it.

That was until we received a screenshot of the report placed by Rev Andrew Rawding on his Facebook page and we discovered the event was even more troubling than we had previously feared.

Indeed, the details of Rev Andrew Rawding’s post should be of grave concern to any Bible-believing Christian.

Not only was Rev Andrew Rawding the one behind this event, but he tells of an ordained Methodist minister in County Fermanagh called Rev Steven Foster who spoke of how he is a “gay man” and who called for churches to “provide liturgy which affirms queer people”.

It was also revealed that the Church of Ireland’s Bishop of Clogher, the Right Eejit (sorry, Right Reverend) John McDowell, closed “with a prayer of love for our queer brothers and sisters”.

This is the text of the post from Rev Andrew Rawding.

It says: “Another amazing and informative JustLOVE evening with Jo McParland of Cara Friend in St Macartin’s Cathedral Hall.

“In particular we need to show so much more unconditional love and acceptance to our transgender brothers and sisters.

“Thanks to Rev Steven Foster (Methodist Church Ireland) for his honesty, talking about praying a ‘suicide prayer’ as he struggled with isolation and loneliness as a gay man in the church.

“Steven challenged and encouraged churches to love (over legalism), listen, learn, be careful about language, show leadership and provide liturgy which affirms queer (LGBTQ+) people.

“Great to have Bishop John McDowell close with a prayer of love for our queer brothers and sisters and asking forgiveness for those times when we have not been loving.”

And, as you can see from the top of the screenshot which we have reproduced, below, Rev Andrew Rawding also ‘tagged’ Kenny Hall in his post, saying he had been with him at the event.

Kenny Hall, or Rev Kenneth Hall, is the Dean of the Clogher diocese and rector of St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen.

He is a rampant ecumenist, having previously held a service in his church in honour of a Romanist Jesuit who is en route to being ‘sainted’ by the Roman Catholic Church, as well as having vowed in a sermon at his church to continue to work “tirelessly and endlessly” with Romish priests in his pursuit of unity.

That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his ecumenical compromise with the devilish deceits of Rome, but now he has added compromise with the utterly ungodly LGBT movement to his God-defying CV.

It would appear he was in attendance given the fact he was ‘tagged’ by Rev Andrew Rawding (otherwise that was mischief making on his part) but certainly he didn’t stand in the way of such an event taking place on his church’s property.

Indeed, reading back through the article we penned last spring detailing Dean Kenneth Hall (pictured, above) renewing his ecumenical vows, as it were, he points out that he was a minister in Coalisland and Stewartstown, exactly where Rev Andrew Rawding is currently a minister.

How neat and tidy is that?

The group Cara Friend referred to in the post by Rev Andrew Rawding is an LGBT support group, while Rev Steven Foster was, until recently, minister of Irvinestown and Pettigo Methodist Churches in Counties Fermanagh and Donegal respectively. He took up a post in Tipperary in the Republic of Ireland a few months ago.

As referred to above, he is a homosexual acting as a minister and has called on churches to “provide liturgy which affirms queer (LGBTQ+) people”.

What a sorry situation this is and what a damning indictment of the state of the Methodist Church in Ireland today.

Right Eejit John McDowell (pictured, below) was also along to sow his seeds of compromise.

Like Dean Kenneth Hall, he is a rampant ecumenist and has now added caving in to the LGBT agenda to his list of God-defiance as well.

Last year on Remembrance Sunday, Right Eejit John McDowell disgracefully preached from the Apocrypha in the supposedly Protestant St Macartin’s Cathedral, while he was also a guest of honour alongside the former Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher, Joseph Duffy, a man found to have “failed to prevent clerical sex abuse”, at a Church of Ireland service in County Monaghan.

So it is perhaps not surprising to see this continued degeneration – one compromise tends to lead to another.

And yet in all this there is still cause for the believer to marvel at the gracious mercy of our Heavenly Father.

These individuals have obtained positions of seniority and respect, and little doubt they are at least financially comfortable, and this is a sign of God’s patience with those who disobey Him, as He bears their sin for a long time, giving them the chance to see the error of their way and come to Him in repentance.

Such mercy is referred to in Isaiah 26:10-11, which says: “Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.”

However, as we can see, it will be reckoned with at last, and we can also rejoice in God’s justice while praying that He will not need to bring down His judgment on those who disobey Him and that instead there will be repentance.

The issue of sodomy is one which is really crystal clear to any who takes even a slightly honest or scarcely cursory view of Scripture, yet so many are deceiving and being deceived in this sinful day.

Numerous Bible passages deal with the issue.

These include, but are certainly not limited to:

Leviticus 18:22: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

Romans 1:26-27: “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

That is certainly not to say we are not to look upon those who fall under the man-made classification of LGBT with concern for their souls or care for their spiritual wellbeing, but we cannot wink at sin, we cannot sit idly by and let sin be endorsed and praised as noble, brave, honest or admirable.

We live in days as those spoken of in Isaiah 5:20, which says: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

However, let us not be silent or reluctant in still declaring that which is evil still to be evil and that which is bitter still to be bitter.

Let us not sacrifice the goodness of God’s Word to protect the temporary feelings of the unconverted.

Psalm 119:103-104: “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.”

Church of Ireland praying for success of Romanist bishop – Right Eejit John McDowell

2 John 1:9-11: “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

A Church of Ireland bishop has expressed his hope that he will enjoy a strong “friendship” with his new Roman Catholic counterpart in the Diocese of Clogher.

‘Monsignor’ Larry Duffy was named the new Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher earlier this month and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher, the Right Eejit (though he presumably prefers Right Reverend) John McDowell was quick to wish Bishop Larry Duffy well as he takes up his leading role in propagating Romish deceit in the area.

Welcoming the appointment of ‘Monsignor’ Larry Duffy, Right Eejit John McDowell said: “I want to congratulate Mgr Duffy on his appointment and assure him of my prayers and those of his many friends within the Church of Ireland community.

“I look forward to working with the new Bishop in the same spirit of friendship and service as I was fortunate enough to share with his predecessor Bishop Liam McDaid and pray that Mgr Duffy will know the presence of the Lord as he prepares for his episcopal ordination.”

It should not be much of a surprise to see Right Eejit John McDowell wishing his Romish friend success in his new role and making overtures towards him with regards seeking to establish ecumenical relationships.

Indeed, just last month, Right Eejit John McDowell shockingly preached from the Apocrypha in a Remembrance Sunday service in St Macartin’s Church of Ireland Cathedral in Enniskillen.

Not only that, but he has regularly cosied up with Larry Duffy’s predecessor as Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher, Liam McDaid, as Right Eejit John McDowell himself attested to in his statement welcoming the new occupant of the post.

He has also established ecumenical links with ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly, a good friend of the brazen ecumenist Rev Kenneth Hall (the pair are pictured together, below, with ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly on the right), Church of Ireland Dean of Clogher. Peter O’Reilly has held the role of Diocesan Administrator of the Roman Catholic Clogher Diocese while a new bishop was sought.

Indeed, Right Eejit John McDowell has just yesterday (Monday) issued his joint Christmas message with his Romish chum. Any mention of how we might be saved in the message, given his message is supposed to centre around the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ? Of course not.

And the man who occupied the bishop post prior to Liam McDaid was Joseph Duffy, a man found in a damning report by the Irish National Board for Safeguarding Children in 2010 to have “failed to prevent clerical sex abuse and did not remove suspected paedophile priests from the ministry”.

This was reported on in the Belfast Telegraph, with the relevant article still available online.

That same Belfast Telegraph article also reports that there was “an unacceptable delay” in taking action against one priest, while it was also reported that Bishop Joseph Duffy’s delay came despite concerns being raised of a “credible allegation” in his Clogher diocese.”

And back in June, we highlighted how Right Eejit John McDowell was a guest of honour at a Mass celebrating 60 years since the ordination of Joseph Duffy (pictured, below) to the Romanist priesthood.

To attend the Romish Mass as a supposedly Protestant minister, regardless of whether or not (and we know not) Right Eejit John McDowell partook of the elements, is a grave matter and ought to have been dealt with in the strongest possible of terms by the Church of Ireland.

After all, their own 39 Articles, which supposedly govern the church, condemn the Mass as a “blasphemous fable” and a “dangerous deceit”.

However, he remains in situ six months later, continuing to brazenly embrace Rome and celebrate and offer support to various practitioners of Popish priestcraft.

That is leaving aside Right Eejit John McDowell’s honouring of a priest condemned in such terms by that report from the Irish National Board for Safeguarding Children.

One can only conclude the Church of Ireland has abandoned its 39 Articles in favour of mean compromise with Rome, a church which, through the centuries long Inquisition and various other means, has sought to silence and destroy the glorious message of the gospel of salvation by faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Right Eejit John McDowell’s conduct can at best be described as bidding God speed to the workers of unrighteousness and making him a partaker of their evil deeds.

And by the Church of Ireland allowing such a situation to develop and proceed unhindered, the church is implicated in this guiltiness of endorsing Romanism.

Also, this situation with the new Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher provides exactly the same scenario, as this leading figure in the Church of Ireland says he will pray for the success of this new bishop.

Success of course, for Larry Duffy, would be to see the Roman Catholic diocese of Clogher growing and the teaching of Romanism gaining ground.

Yet this is apparently what Right Eejit John McDowell is happy to set his seal of approval to?

What a sad state of affairs.

Dear reader, if you remain tied up among the Anglican movement, which is ran by and large by rampant ecumenists and ecclesiastic compromisers, won’t you even separate yourself from the likes of Right Eejit John McDowell?

This call will be necessary up to the close of this age to God’s chosen people caught up in that which they ought to be well clear of.

Revelation 18:1-4 demonstrates this: “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Be not partakers of the plagues of apostasy and ecumenism but instead be separated unto Christ.

Hebrews 13:13: “Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.”

Arlene Foster attends ecumenical Remembrance service in Romanist chapel

The DUP’s gradual, yet continual, decline from its former Biblical standards continued even over Remembrance Sunday, which this year also marked the 100th anniversary of the Armistice at the end of what became known as the First World War.

The party’s leader, Arlene Foster (pictured, top), a Fermanagh woman, was in attendance at an ecumenical Remembrance service in the Roman Catholic church in Enniskillen, St Michael’s, on the evening of Remembrance Sunday.

And party MP, Jeffrey Donaldson, was in attendance at an ecumenical service where the Papist Archbishop of Armagh Eamon Martin was the guest speaker.

That service was held in the second biggest hub of ecumenism (the biggest being the ghastly Corrymeela Community on the north coast) in Northern Ireland, St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast.

At both meetings the chief preacher was an architect of Romish deceit and Papal priestcraft, with the speaker in the Enniskillen service being ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly.

Among the allegedly Protestant ministers who took part in the service, and who have all been photographed at the front of the chapel beside where the blasphemous Romish Mass is offered up, was Rev Kenneth Hall (pictured, below with ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly), Dean of the Clogher Diocese and minister of St Macartin’s Church of Ireland Cathedral in Enniskillen.

He is a habitual ecumenist and you can read of his devotion to compromise with Rome by clicking here and of a service he held in St Macartin’s Cathedral honouring a Jesuit priest in the process of being sainted by the Pope by clicking here.

Also taking part, fresh from preaching from the Apocrypha in a Remembrance Sunday service in St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen that morning, was the Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher, the Right Eejit John McDowell.

Another Protestant traitor added into the mix was Rev David Cupples (pictured, below), minister of Enniskillen Presbyterian Church. Rev David Cupples last year took several months off his duties to complete a Papist pilgrimage called the Camino de Santiago.

And completing the concoction of clerical compromisers on stage was ‘Rev’ Lorna Dreaning (1 Timothy 2:12), the recently appointed ‘minister’ of Enniskillen Methodist Church, wasting little time in laying her ecumenical cards on the table.

Add into the mix reports that other clergy, Orangemen and representatives of the Royal British Legion were in attendance and you have a very confused picture inside that den of Romanism.

This service was trumpeted as a sign of great civility between Protestants and Catholics, but it is in fact a sign of Protestants being deceived by the wiles of Rome and failing to keep themselves unstained from false worship.

When the world at large thinks a Church service is wonderful, one must be very sceptical.

Jesus reminds us of this when speaking in John 15:18-19. He says: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”

And what of Arlene Foster and her presence?

Given she is a member of the Church of Ireland, her local Bishop, the man who told her it was ok to go to a GAA match on a Sunday, is Right Eejit John McDowell and he was complicit in this ungodly show last week.

However, we are all accountable for our own actions before God, though a minister bears a mighty responsibility for the souls he is charged with providing guidance to.

Arlene Foster continues to eschew fundamental Biblical Christianity, something which her party was founded upon and which many of its members would still claim to support.

The Bible says we are not to share in worship with those who are spiritually unclean, such as the Church of Rome.

Ephesians 5:11 says: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

We have received a few comments in recent months commenting on whether or not Arlene Foster is a Christian. Our understanding is she would say she is and therefore we must take her at her word.

So, given that situation, she ought to know a great deal better than to consort with Popery in such a flagrant way, or indeed in any way.

Rome’s false gospel of works-based salvation and its manifold other blasphemies, such as prayer to Mary and to so-called ‘Saints’, prayer for the dead, the Mass, the titles the Pope takes on himself, idolatry and the fictional creation of purgatory, are vile offences against God and His inspired Word.

It is little wonder Ulster is in the sorry spiritual state it is in when you see representatives of much of the major so-called Protestant institutions in our country participating in such a manner.

The same can be said of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, though there was nothing distinguishing in his attending a Remembrance service with Eamon Martin taking a leading role.

To attend a meeting in the den of ecumenical iniquity such as St Anne’s Cathedral is bad enough, but when a Papist is taking the pulpit? What a dreadful mess.

Our country will never see revival if Christians continue to look to the likes of Arlene Foster and Jeffrey Donaldson for their help.

In 1921, the Protestants of Ulster were saved from Rome rule by the formation of Northern Ireland.

However, as we look at the untold damage the ecumenical churches have done to our country and as we look at the rising tide of voters choosing to back those who to this day support and indeed celebrate the murder of Protestants to advance their evil cause, we can see the judgment of God coming upon Ulster.

If the people of Ulster do not turn back to God with all their heart, if they do not cease to mingle seed with Popery, then this land will be taken from us.

There is much more than an echo of the words of Joshua as he addressed the children of Israel shortly before his passing.

Joshua 23:12-16 says: “Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you: Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. When ye have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.”

Arlene Foster and Jeffrey Donaldson would do well to pay heed to those words of Joshua and so would all who profess Christ in this country.

Where do your first loyalties lie?

Is it with the DUP? The Church of Ireland? The Presbyterian Church? The Royal British Legion? The Orange Order?

Or do your first loyalties lie with the almighty, all powerful, all seeing, all knowing, prayer hearing and prayer answering God of heaven?

He is the one true and living God and we must serve him with all of our being.

We would do well to remember the words of God to Solomon.

1 Chronicles 28:9: “And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.”

Rev Kenneth Hall at it again with yet another ecumenical service with Romanist

Proverbs 27:20: “Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.”

The Church of Ireland’s Dean of Clogher and Enniskillen rector, Rev Kenneth Hall, has an insatiable appetite for ecumenical compromise with Romanists.

At almost every turn, there he is pictured and partaking in yet another ecumenical service, smiling alongside some emissary of Papal deceit.

He took his latest opportunity a couple of weeks ago as he engaged in an ecumenical service to celebrate the 100th anniversary of an agricultural show.

It would appear that Rev Kenneth Hall just can’t help himself.

If there is an opportunity to betray the Bible, the 39 Articles of the Anglican faith, both of which he is supposed to uphold, and to reject his Protestant heritage, then he’ll be there, often ensuring there’s someone with a camera present to capture him grinning like a Cheshire cat next to some old deceiver of a Papist priest.

By his own admission, Rev Kenneth Hall has devoted his ministry to abandoning the truth of the gospel and instead chooses mean compromise with Rome, an anti-Christian system which knows only how to lead its adherents to hell.

We recently highlighted his comments in a sermon in which he said he would continue to work “tirelessly and endlessly” with Romish priests in his pursuit of unity.

He also proudly stated this courting of Rome was the very basis of his ministry, saying: “Everywhere I have moved to since my clerical life began… I have sought to do likewise. My message has not changed…”

Not only that, he is joined at the hip to a leading Romanist in the Fermanagh area, ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly, with whom he is very much an ecumenical partner in crime.

He remains his bosom buddy, despite ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly acting as the Romanist mouthpiece who wrung his hands as he rejected permission for a memorial to the victims of the Romanist IRA bombing of those paying their respects on Remembrance Sunday 1987.

The reason he had the power to reject it? Because the bomb which claimed the lives of 13 Protestants was planted in Roman Catholic Church property. Rev Kenneth Hall was utterly silent on that.

Rev Kenneth Hall, a few months ago, held a service in his church honouring a native of Enniskillen, John Sullivan, who was born a Protestant but became a Jesuit priest and is now in the process of being sainted by the Pope.

And now he has taken part in yet another ecumenical service, this time to mark the 100th anniversary of the Clogher Valley Show in County Tyrone.

It was held on the Sunday prior to the agricultural show, which itself took place at the end of July.

He was joined on the occasion by ‘Father’ Noel McGahan, the Papist priest in Clogher, and the ‘Rev’ Olivia Downey, a female ‘minister’ recently appointed to the Clogher Group of Parishes. They are pictured in our below image, with ‘Father’ Noel McGahan on the far left, next to Rev Kenneth Hall, with ‘Rev’ Olivia Downey second right. The other individual appears to be an official at the show.

The gathering was apparently “a thanksgiving for everything that has taken place and [been] accomplished by the Clogher Valley Agricultural Society during the past 100 years”.

Quite why the priest had to be in attendance when this was clearly a Church of Ireland initiative is anyone’s guess.

We will remind Rev Kenneth Hall and indeed ‘Rev’ Olivia Downey of what their 39 Articles have to say. In ‘Rev’ Olivia Downey’s case, she will have presumably recently reaffirmed them, having just taken up her post in the springtime.

Article VI has this to say regarding the “Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation”: “Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of the Faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation.”

Rome teaches that ‘Sacred Tradition’ is just as important as the Bible and reject that crucial article of faith. Where does Rev Kenneth Hall stand on that?

Article XI speaks of the “Justification of Man”. It says: “We are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Faith, and not for our own works or deservings.”

Rome teaches that we are justified by our works, despite Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly demonstrating that is not the case. Those verses say: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Rome says it is of works, God says it isn’t. Who do you believe? Who does Rev Kenneth Hall believe?

In Article XIX, speaking of “The Church”, it says: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith.”

The Church of Ireland’s own supposedly governing principles say that Rome has erred both in matters of faith and ceremony, yet Rev Kenneth Hall is cuddling up with an errant church.

Colossians 2:8 advises us to “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Rev Kenneth Hall is both associating with and therefore as a minister helping propagate “vain deceit” which is “not after Christ”.

Article XXII speaks “Of Purgatory”. It says: “The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God.”

The 39 Articles, which Rev Kenneth Hall claimed to subscribe to when he began to make a living from the ministry, say that Purgatory, images, relics and invocation of saints have no Scriptural warrant and, further than that, they are “repugnant to the Word of God”.

We referred earlier to Rev Kenneth Hall hosting a service honouring a man being sainted by the Pope, yet the invocation of saints is “repugnant”. So why does Rev Kenneth Hall assist in something so repugnant? When he has publicly vowed that these things are repugnant, why is he associating so enthusiastically with them?

We have reminded Rev Kenneth Hall of what the 39 Articles say, now let’s remind him what the Bible has to say.

2 Corinthians 6:17: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you”.

Ephesians 5:11: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

Jude 1:3: “…ye should earnestly contend for the faith…”

Rev Kenneth Hall is in open and brazen disobedience of these commands. Were he contending for the faith he would not be on such friendly terms with the propagators of Papal deceit.

If you attend a church where ecumenical activities are going on, please take heed to these words from 2 Peter 2:1-2: “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”

The false teachers will bring destruction upon themselves. Do you want them to bring destruction upon you as well?

If you know anyone with any connection to the Church of Ireland in Enniskillen, we would earnestly encourage you to share this with them or if you know anyone whose church is engaging in ecumenical conduct, please share this with them to alert them to the danger they are being put in by ministers who are betraying their souls.

And if you are reading this and are swept up in the ecumenical folly in our land, won’t you please turn away from it and place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

Acts 16:31: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved”.

Enniskillen Church of Ireland’s Rev Kenneth Hall vows to continue compromise with Rome

The Dean of Clogher, Rev Kenneth Hall, has announced his desire to continue to betray his church’s Protestant heritage by compromising with Rome.

Rev Kenneth Hall’s appalling ecumenical conduct has previously been highlighted on ‘Protestant Revival’, as he previously held a service in St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen celebrating the ‘Blessed’ John Sullivan, a man who converted to Catholicism, became a Jesuit priest and is now in the process of being made a saint by the Pope.

Not only that, we highlighted his close association with ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly, the Papist mouthpiece for Rome as they refused permission for a memorial to be placed on their land to the Protestant victims of an IRA bomb planted on Roman Catholic Church property as they gathered in Enniskillen on Remembrance Sunday.

Rev Kenneth Hall remained silent at that time, making no criticism of the Roman Catholic Church or his ecumenical pal, ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly, with whom he is pictured, below.

However, Rev Kenneth Hall has not remained silent in expressing his desire to continue down the ecumenical road he is on.

In fact, in an excerpt of a sermon preached last month on his church’s website, he has stated his ambition to continue to “work tirelessly and endlessly” with “clergy from all denominations”, including, of course, Rome.

Addressing the fact that many Protestants, especially in an area like County Fermanagh which suffered so horrendously at the hands of the Roman Catholic IRA, might be unhappy with his conduct, Rev Kenneth Hall simply says that he and other betrayers of Protestantism, which is Biblical Christianity, “are perfectly capable of defending our faith”.

It is a bald assertion with no evidence to back it up, no demonstration of how he has done so and no Biblical warrant disclosed for mingling with the manifold blasphemies of Rome.

There is, however, crystal clear warrant from Scripture for steering well clear of the corrupt system of Rome.

Ephesians 5:11 says: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

2 Corinthians 6:14-17 says: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you”.

Religious separation from propagators of error, which Rome undoubtedly is, with its lie of purgatory, prayer to Mary and saints, blasphemy of the Mass and corrupt gospel of salvation by works, to name a few, is absolutely necessary.

However, Rev Kenneth Hall repeatedly and consistently refuses to do this and indeed is making a virtue of his rejection of the Bible.

Not only has he made a virtue of it, he has made a career from it as well, as he has himself attested.

Rev Kenneth Hall says: “Everywhere I have moved to since my clerical life began twenty years ago in Cookstown through my days in Dungannon, Coalisland and Stewartstown and now here in Enniskillen, I have sought to do likewise. My message has not changed…”

From the outset of his ministry, Rev Kenneth Hall says he has sought to engage in ecumenical compromise with Rome.

The root of his ministry is in disobedience to God’s Word, therefore the fruit cannot but be corrupt.

Matthew 7:15-20 says: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

Like many ecumenists, Rev Kenneth Hall uses the pretext of what is euphemistically called ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland to justify his conduct.

He says: “We want bitterness and hatred and the gun and the bomb removed for ever.”

So do all right thinking people, but to think that compromising with the Papacy can bring lasting peace is a nonsense.

The architects of murder, the IRA, are now represented in the highest levels of political life in Northern Ireland through their political wing and cheerleaders to this day, Sinn Fein.

The gun and the bomb were only largely put down the back of the sofa by republicans because they got forgiveness without repentance.

Hundreds of murderous Romanists were released from prison, where they still ought to be, as part of the political deal the likes of Rev Kenneth Hall championed, and they still refuse to apologise for the murder campaign they unleashed on the Protestants of Ulster.

That is not peace, regardless of what Rev Kenneth Hall likes to say.

We are reminded of the false prophets in the time of Jeremiah who claimed all was well.

Jeremiah 6:13-14: “…and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.”

While Rev Kenneth Hall renews his ecumenical vows, let us draw near to Christ and pray earnestly that ecumenists and apostates scattered through our land are removed from their pulpits or else gloriously converted by Christ.

Let us have the same vow as that faithful servant of God, Joshua, when he said in Joshua 24:15: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Best of friends: Church of Ireland’s Dean Kenneth Hall and Romanist ecumenical buddy blocking memorial to IRA victims

This time last week, we at ‘Protestant Revival’ highlighted Dean of Clogher Rev Kenneth Hall hosting a service in his clerical domain, Enniskillen Church of Ireland cathedral, at which he and other traitors of Protestantism celebrated a Jesuit priest and endorsed the Romish practice of prayer to saints.

Now this week we must once again turn our attention to Dean Kenneth Hall as he remains silent in the light of the disgusting insult levelled at the community he is supposed to represent and defend by the Roman Catholic Church in Enniskillen with whom he is on such cosy terms.

The Roman Catholic Church has refused to allow a memorial to be placed on the site of where the IRA bombing of a Remembrance Day service took place in the town in 1987, murdering 11 Protestants instantly and a 12th a number of years later. Many more were injured as they gathered to pay their respects to the gallant fallen during two World Wars and other conflicts. The site where the bomb was placed just so happens to have been on Roman Catholic Church property, hence why they are able to stop the memorial being placed there.

The Romanist mouthpiece who has publicly stated his church’s opposition to the placing of this memorial to honour these unsuspecting victims of Irish republican barbarity is none other than Dean Kenneth Hall’s bosom buddy in ecumenical deceit, ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly, with whom he is pictured at the top of our article.

This practitioner of Papal blasphemy was in attendance in Enniskillen Cathedral a couple of weeks ago to cheer on the Protestant fools who gathered to exalt the man Rome calls ‘Blessed’ John Sullivan.

Always eyeing up an opportunity to pretend to be concerned about Protestants, he also had his nose poked into the events marking the 30th anniversary of the Enniskillen Bombing when Dean Kenneth Hall should have been chasing him.

And on 21 June Enniskillen Church of Ireland is organising an event at which ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly will speak, alongside another allegedly Protestant reprobate, the Bishop of Clogher, Right Eejit John McDowell. It is a meeting of the ‘Cathedral Men’s LIFE Group’ at which Enniskillen Presbyterian minister, the Romanist pilgrimage loving Rev David Cupples, spoke earlier in the spring.

The double speak of the deceiver was evident when ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly spouted his weasel words in an effort to justify this disgraceful action.

The BBC reports that the emissary of Papal deceit said this slap in the face “was not about rejecting any memorial or the content of the memorial, but this particular memorial and its proposed location”.

There is a lot of Romish hand-wringing about the siting of the memorial and the St Michael’s Diocesan Trust gave the lame excuse of “health and safety”.

They said: “The sheer size of the memorial, taken together with the high volume of footfall on the public footpath in front of the [nearby] Clinton Centre, and the connected issues of access to the school at the side and rear of the building, would make the proposed location unsuitable from the point of view of the health and safety of the public.”

This is nothing but a fig leaf to cover the true reasons for their objections – the fact that Rome hates anything it sees as being connected to Protestantism, which is why it uses ecumenism to lure in gullible Protestants and thus damage the Protestant people.

They are like the enemies of King David, himself a type of Christ, who said of the like in Psalm 5:9: “For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.”

Men may say nice things but “by their fruits ye shall know them” and they are certainly bringing forth rotten fruit.

However, Rome has set itself squarely against God and we know, or ought to know, what to expect from her; it is the conduct of weak ecumenical so-called Protestants that is the real issue at play here.

We spoke of ministers remaining silent last week in reference to ‘Rev’ Lesley Carroll, and once more we are presented with another “dumb dog”, as Isaiah 56 puts it, in the shape of Dean Kenneth Hall.

Has he expressed his disgust with Rome’s insult to Protestants? Of course not, his tongue has been firmly cleaving to the roof of his mouth for fear of offending his Papal pal, not that ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly is too worried about causing offence in the other direction.

This just further demonstrates the one way nature of ecumenism, the Protestant dupes give and the Romanists take.

Unfortunately this is the result of failing to separate yourself from the heathen practices of others in your land.

Prior to the children of Israel going into Canaan, God warned them not to suffer many of the heathen tribes in the land to stay there and outlined the consequences of such compromise. We, of course, are not to employ the tactics used here, but the same principle applies that we are not to compromise ourselves when we are serving the one true God.

Deuteronomy 7:2-5: “And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.”

We are then informed in Judges chapter 1 repeatedly of how the tribes of Israel failed to cast out the heathen among them.

The consequences are told us in Judges 2:1-3: “And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.”

This is what’s happening in Ulster as we speak as ecumenists mingle with Rome.

We would implore Dean Kenneth Hall to come out publicly and castigate in no uncertain terms the conduct of the Roman Catholic Church and tell ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly their chummy days of ecumenism are over.

We would implore Dean Kenneth Hall to actually subscribe in spirit, and not just with his signature, to the 39 Articles of the Anglican faith.

We would implore Dean Kenneth Hall to repent of his ecumenical compromise, call Rome out for what she is and to shepherd his flock as God would have a minister to do.

1 Samuel 2:30: “…for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.”

Enniskillen Church of Ireland service celebrates Jesuit priest and endorses prayer to saints

The Church of Ireland in Enniskillen has given its seal of approval to Rome’s corrupt system of saints, to whom Rome teaches you should pray, by holding a service celebrating a man the Roman Catholic Church is in the process of making a saint.

‘Blessed’ John Sullivan was born into the Church of Ireland in Enniskillen but in his adult years, foolishly converted to Rome, eventually joining the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits. For those who are not overly familiar with the process of Romanist canonisation, and we hope there are many, the title of ‘Blessed’ is one rung below being a full-blown saint.

Prior to this, John Sullivan would have been known as ‘Venerable’, and Romanists would have been encouraged to pray to him to make intercession on their behalf. Enniskillen Church of Ireland is endorsing this by holding a meeting in his honour. What blasphemous nonsense!

We pray to God through Jesus Christ and none other. 1 Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”.

Let us remind readers that the Jesuit Order ‘Blessed’ John Sullivan joined is the bloodthirsty mob which led the ‘Inquisition’ over a period of several centuries in which untold millions of Protestants (along with Muslims and Jews) were murdered. We dealt with that evil organisation in a previous post regarding St Anne’s Church of Ireland Cathedral in Belfast inviting a Jesuit into its midst in February.

And it is a man who joined that Order, with its vile past and whose express foundational purpose was to lead the Counter Reformation and drag millions back into the darkness of Rome, that Enniskillen Cathedral (St Macartin’s) sought to honour with this service on Sunday, 15 April.

What an outrage!

Conducting the service was the Very Reverend Kenneth Hall (pictured, top), the Dean of Clogher, and he had with him his ecumenical buddy, ‘Monsignor’ Peter O’Reilly, Parish Priest of St Michael’s Roman Catholic Church, Enniskillen. The pair are joined at the hip, and this is something which, in the will of the Lord, we plan to address at another time.

Among the apostate Protestants named as being in attendance were Most Reverend Dr Michael Jackson, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher Right Eejit John McDowell (pictured, below), whose utterly shameful conduct we have previously covered. Prayer was also offered at one point by Rev Canon Desmond Kingston, another compromiser by his very presence, this compounded by his participation.

No ecumenical meeting would be complete without plenty more emissaries of Papal deceit, and St Macartin’s Cathedral was filled to the brim with them.

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, was there. Monsignor Joseph McGuinness, Diocesan Administrator of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Clogher, was there. So, too, was ‘Father’ Tom Clayton, former Provincial of the Jesuit Order in Ireland. The Provincial is the leader of the Jesuits. So the most senior member of the organisation which has its mission straight from the Pope and which seeks to snuff out the light of the gospel was welcomed with open arms into a so-called Protestant church. He also offered up a prayer in the service. As we have regularly stated, it is a most relevant question to ask – to whom was the prayer addressed? Was it to God? Or was it to Mary or one of the saints that Rome corruptly teaches you can pray to? Perhaps it was even to ‘Blessed’ John Sullivan. How despicable an indictment of the Church of Ireland that this question even needs to be asked!

All these high profile figures within the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Church were part of the gathering in St Macartin’s Cathedral, but was God part of the number? Most assuredly not.

The Bible says in Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” However, these people were not gathered in His name, they were gathered to celebrate themselves and to celebrate man. God has rejected that meeting.

They will claim that they are gathered to honour God, but their hypocrisy is like that mentioned in Isaiah 29:13: “Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”

The precepts of man were stamped all over that meeting. God hates the Roman Catholic Church because it is a blasphemous pagan corruption of how He has ordained He should be worshipped. God hates the works of apostasy in so-called Protestant churches because they have sold out their goodly heritage for fellowship with Rome.

Remarkably, and without a hint of irony, when giving his address at this meeting, Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin Michael Jackson said the words: “God is not mocked”.

Absolutely, Archbishop. However, that is exactly what you are striving to do with that mockery of a service you so heartily endorsed.

However, while you as a fool look to make a mockery of God, He will hold you in contempt.

Psalm 2:2-4: “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”

This apostate Archbishop Michael Jackson continued to grieve God by saying the meeting was “a glorious opportunity” and said there had been “respect across embedded sectarianisms” demonstrated by so-called Protestants attending the service of Beatification (making him ‘Blessed’) of John Sullivan and by the “Jesuit family” being present at that abomination of a service in Enniskillen.

Let us tell Archbishop Michael Jackson, there is nothing sectarian about wanting to prevent the Protestant faith, which is true Biblical Christianity, from being corrupted by the lies and deceits of Rome.

Next to talk so as to hear himself was the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, during which he thanked the Bishop of Clogher, the Right Eejit John McDowell for his invitation “and the congregation at St Macartin’s Cathedral for their welcome”.

This is the consequence of letting heretics into the ministry as they lead their congregations to the point where they are glad to see Romanists in their pulpits.

God will not let that go unpunished.

Ezekiel 33 is a chapter we have referred to on a number of occasions at ‘Protestant Revival’ and we will repeat it once more. After all, we are following the example of Paul when he was inspired by the Holy Ghost to write in Philippians 3:1: “To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.”

In Ezekiel 33 a fearsome warning is laid down to the watchmen, or spiritual leaders, of the people and the solemn responsibility they have in their role. Those who fail to fulfil their duties will have the blood of sinners they’ve led astray on their hands.

Verses 2-6 read: “Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.”

Of course, many in the congregation at St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen don’t want to be warned, they would rather have repeated digs at pages like this for trying to warn them of the danger they are in. They want to have their ears tickled rather than their hearts challenged and their souls saved.

They share the refrain of those in Isaiah 30:10: “Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits”.

We pray that God will cause the congregation of St Macartin’s Cathedral in Enniskillen, in particular those who have castigated this witness, to read this message and we are making a plea to them to turn from this apostasy, tell the rascal in the pulpit to get out and turn wholeheartedly to God.

We would that you would consider your latter end. Jeremiah 5:31 asks the question with a clear gospel application: “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”

God is calling for sinners to repent. Won’t you listen to Him? Ezekiel 33, which we have already referred to, continues on and shows God offering His mercy to the sinner. Verse 11 reads: “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God , I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
