Beloved Friends,

We praise the Lord for bringing us through to another year. We also are so grateful for your

prayers and support. Through thick and thin, your faithfulness has enabled us to reach out to the lost.

 

We really want to apologize for everything running behind. December-January were the

months of "the breakdowns." We had computer problems and both our audio and video duplicators

broke and one had to be sent back to the factory. Thank you for your patience in waiting for unbelievably slow orders. Things are fixed now, and we hope to be able to do better.

 

Bill had an exciting conference ministering in the Twin Cities in early March. He will also be ministering at the End-Times Revival Center at The Hanover Park - Park District, 1919 Walnut Street, Hanover Park, IL. 60133 on March 27-28 (Time: 7:00 p.m. nightly).

Additionally, he will be filming a professional documentary video (for Jeremiah Films) on Harry Potter with some other ministers in March, so please pray for these projects to go well.

 

We are also working on anew edition of Space Invaders and new book project, so please pray

that those will be completed in a timely matter. We thank those of you who sent special offerings for us to be able to replace our '91 Taurus (which now has 164,000 miles on it and is our only car). We have a start, but could still use either a lot more funds or else someone to donate a car (it certainly does not have to be new!). Such a gift would be tax deductible.

 

We thank you for your prayers and support! If you are not already a regular supporter, please

pray about becoming one. We can use all the prayers and financial support we can get, especially now. Remember, God uses you to bless us so that we can minister to others.

Pray for Revival,

Bill and Sharon

 

Serious Need and Prayer Alert!

 

As some of you may know, my wife Sharon has been under attack in the health area since 2000, primarily with congestive heart failure. She had been doing well, after one relapse in the summer of 2002. However, currently she is suffering from a different kind of malady which resists identification and is preventing her from sleeping. This has been going on for over two weeks now, and is becoming increasingly debilitating. This situation has been deteriorating in the past few days and she is feeling quite desperate, partially because her heart (though stronger) is not up to this kind of stress and pressure. Candidly, she fears she might die from this.

 

Because of her heart condition, she is no longer eligible for health insurance, and so we are depending entirely on our Lord Jesus for this crisis. As you receive this, please pray for her to be healed by the power of God! We are believing Him for this healing, or at least for wisdom as to how to proceed.

 

Additionally, due to a lot of “spiritual warfare” factors, the newsletter (print and email) was MUCH more delayed than ever. This, coupled with expenses relating to Sharon’s condition, car repairs, machinery repairs, etc., has put us in a critical financial bind, worse than any since the post-9/11 attacks. We desperately need your help! We realize that you are receiving this by email and some of you are even overseas. However, if you could take the time to respond with an extraordinary gift as the Lord leads you, it would be so very helpful right now.

 

We are behind in bills, partially because some who owe us money have not paid, and it makes for a difficult situation. It was a struggle, financially, just to get the “print” version of the newsletter out. Now it will take some time for the newsletter to be received by post and for people to respond. Normally, we would not ask this, but if some of you could call and put a donation on your credit card, it would help us get through. You can call us for that at 563-583-5473, or send the check or money order by mail to WITH ONE ACCORD, PO Box 457, Dubuque, IA 52004-0457 (USA).

 

Please pray about it, and do whatever you can. If we have ever been a help to you in the Lord, please stand with us now. At the very least, pray that God will work some miracles for us right now, both in terms of Sharon’s health and in terms of our financial crisis. Thank you and we love you in the Lord Jesus!

 

 

To God be the Glory!

It has been a tradition in the ministry that in the first issue of each new year, we begin with just a small fraction of letters from people whose lives have been touched in some way by what we are doing. Such letters are a blessing to us, and we pray that they will be a blessing to you. Again, we give all the glory to God and rejoice that we can serve Him in this vineyard.

 

Dear Rev. Schnoebelen,

I just read your article about the Harry Potter book and I have to applaud you for your work! I believe that these books really have demonic stuff that children and teens shouldn't be reading. I'm a 13 year old Christian that really hates those books and I think they should be taken off the shelves! Thank you for your ministry. J. H.

 

<email from Chile> Well, first of all I want to thank God for you. I had read your book, Lucifer Dethroned, in Spanish and I found it an incredible blessing for every Christian who wants to know more about our enemy... My apologies for my English. I hope you could understand what I'm trying to say. GOD BLESS YOU. Your brother, M.D.U.

 

 

Dear Bill and Sharon,

Please add me to your mailing list in order that I might receive your newsletter. I love your website and teachings. I plan to copy many of them to share with others.

A woman I just met recently moved into a house next to our small business. She and her husband are Christians and the parents of 6 children, 2 biological and 4 adopted. Although the husband and father is the new administrator of a local Baptist school, they have not made a firm decision concerning whether or not to allow their children to read Harry Potter books. I plan to share your Harry Potter article with her for consideration. I will be praying they will recognize the definite dangers in allowing Harry Potter into their home. God bless you and your ministry! Sincerely, C. C.

 

Dear Bill, .

Thank you so much for your article on Dungeons & Dragons for the Christian. I spent some time as a preteen playing this game. My father encouraged me to quit because of the effect it was having on my school work and negative things he had heard regarding the game. Had he been privy to your information, I am sure his urgings would have been even stronger. I have an 18 month old son and a daughter on the way. I have often though how I will guide him when things such as this come up. I was fortunate to be able to walk away from the game but I can't really say how it has affected the way I look at things. I think I am well grounded in my faith but my children may not be as strong. You article has certainly affected me and will affect the way I raise my children. I hope you will consider this a small reward for the time and effort you have put into writing this article. God bless you and keep you. In Christian Love, C. W .P.

 

 

Dear Rev. Schnoebelen,

Your article about the "Medical Babylon" was so very 'right on.' I appreciate your candid and articulate article. I am grateful for good teaching like this. The times are ripe for it. Thank you, L.J.M.

 

 

Dear Brother Bill,

I would like to start off by thanking God for another day of life. I would also like to thank you for your book, Masonry Beyond the Light. It has been a great help to me down hear in ___ TX. I've read the book two times arid I have learned a lot from it. The importance is that it has helped my friend who was a member of the Masonic temple hear in town decide to renounce it! Praise the

Lord. I thank you and God bless! May you continue in God's will. J. G.

 

 

Dear Rev. Schnoebelen,

Please sign me up to receive your newsletter. I have recently demitted from - Masonic Lodge #676, the Scottish Rite and York Rite Masonry after having been a member for over 30 years. I had served as Master of the Lodge and had, prior to my resignation, been serving in all the officer lines of all the bodies of York Rite Masonry.

I can tell you a very interesting story of my deliverance. I am a member of the - Church, and not one member had anything bad to say about the Lodge until after I told them I had left Freemasonry. One of our close friends even confided in me that when she sang at my installation as Master she had asked 3 other couples to pray for me that night and to surround me with white light of Jesus' protection. I am now serving on the – Action Board and my ministry is helping other men to get out of Masonry. God Bless you! D. E. K.

 

 

Dear Sir:

I appreciate you, Mr. Schnoebelen. I don't want to waste too much of your time but I just wanted to let you know that your article, "Straight talk on Dungeons and Dragons", caused a major turn around in my life. I just finished reading your book, and I have come to admire you and your wife's ministry. I guess I just want to say thank you. God bless you! In Christ, A. W.

 

 

Dear Bill,

Please place me on your mailing list. I have read and learned a great deal from your book Blood on the Doorpost. After doing some research on my family I discovered that my great-grandmother was a practicing witch. Your book helped explain some of the "problems" in our family line. Thank you for teaching the truth. K.K.B.

 

 

Dear Ones in Christ,

I am requesting ten copies of your recent Liberator (vol. XI, no. 6). As a retired RN remembering the days of doctor "house calls," before the antibiotics and the deadly pharmaceuticals - back when most meds were plant-based and patients were people and not HMO numbers. I have watched brokenhearted to see what has happened to the profession in the last 55 years.

Now the FDA is seeking to control our food supplements and vitamins. There is no alternative health now in our area and we fear traditional "AMA medicine" as much as bio-terrorism and nuclear attack.

I saw so much the last few years before I retired - I could scarcely wait to exit a profession I was once proud to be a part of. I know the Biblical admonition to "fear not," but I truly am anxious about what the AMA and your "Iron Triangle." [of the medical schools, pharmaceutical companies and the FDA] We are elderly, and are desperately trying to stay out of the hands of traditional medicine - but we do not always have a choice. In an emergency, 911 is called and we become locked into the system. Thank you for your courage to proclaim truth! In Christ, J.W.

 

 

Dear Bill and Sharon,

I have just finished reading four of your books. The first one that I read was Blood on tile Doorposts, then Lucifer Dethroned, Wicca and Masonry. This I did in the past five nights. You have opened my eyes way, way wider than I thought that they could ever be. I was one who now I see was burying not just my head in the sand but my whole body and I thought I was a Christian!! Thank you for making me think over that one again. Thank goodness you put an email address, now I know that you are both very busy and that you have a great calling but I just had

to write. Praise God for your work. J. X.

 

 

Dear Bill,

It is nice to finally get a chance to write to you and tell you what a wonderful job you are doing to help this failing country and the whole world. I wish you and your ministry continued success and growth in the future or until our Lord, Jesus Christ, tells us it is time to come home.

A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a copy of your video, Exposing the Illuminati from Within, and I was amazed at how much "stuff' was going on in the world. I knew of some of it and how it was playing hand-in-hand with our government and governments of the world. It is truly sad and reaffirms that world peace won't come by man's doing, but by that of our Lord Jesus. Man has been ruining the world for centuries and now, thinks he can turn back the clock too late, the damage has already begun and the clock is ticking. Sorry, I don't mean to go on about this, but some people are heading toward doom and they don't even realize that there is a way out. I commend you and Sharon on coming into the Lord's saving light and sharing the gospel with everyone. God bless you and keep you. Take care and hope to hear more from you. With Best Wishes, M.W.F.

 

 

Dear Bill,

Hi! I just wanted to commend you on your fact-filled website about Harry Potter. I will not let my 3 1/2 year old see the Harry Potter movies, and now I have facts to back up my beliefs. I was not familiar with witchcraft, but I did feel that HP was anti-Christian. It seems like not many people are aware of this, judging from the overabundance of pro-HP websites putting down Christian beliefs. I'm glad to see your site, and. I will definitely share it with my loved ones to enlighten them. Keep up the good work! D.M.

 

 

NOTE OF INTEREST!

 

For those of you who are taking our Blood on the Doorpost Spiritual Warfare Course, please be aware that we are planning on having the culminating hands-on seminar for the course (taught by Bill and Sharon personally) sometime in the fall of 2003. The many of you who are enrolled in the course might want to plan to get through the lessons before that date so that you would be eligible to attend. Should you have any problems or questions OR if you would like to enroll (there is still time), please do not hesitate to contact us at 563.583.5473. The next seminar would probably not be offered until 2004.

 

 

THE CLONE WARS?

BY WILLIAM SCHNOEBELEN

 

And God said. Let us make man in our image. after our likeness... So God created man in his own image. in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. - Gen. 1:26-27

 

One of the big headlines at the new year was the announcement by a little-known UFO cult that

they supposedly had succeeding in creating a human clone. It almost drove the terrorist and war news off the headlines for a few days. Of course, as the days past, no actual proof has been offered of these new baby clones.

 

The group, the Raelians, is a different twist on the typical UFO sect such as we discussed in our book. Space Invaders seven years ago. Like many of these groups, the Raelians (named after their leader, Rael), believe that "space people" (AKA the Space Brothers) have come to the earth to help straighten out the poor, benighted human race.

 

Their "twist" is that they teach that God was actually a skinny alien chap with almond eyes, yellow skin, long dark hair and goatee. He looks like Fu Manchu on Valium. This 4-foot-tall alien identified himself as Yahweh - one of the Elohim, which is the name used for God in Genesis.

"Yahweh" supposedly came here in a UFO that looked like a flattened silver ball. He visited a French journalist named Claude Varilhon in an extinct volcano crater in France in 1973. At this meeting, and in subsequent "close encounters," Yahweh revealed that the Bible got it wrong

(BIG surprise). HE – Yahweh - (not the God of the Bible) came to earth with his colleagues and created Adam and Eve in an elaborate cloning experiment.

 

Vorilhon (who subsequently took the name "Rael") was told that aliens came to earth throughout history to guide us. Great leaders such as Buddha, Moses and Jesus, were actually space aliens, sent to guide our fledgling race. However, a key point which the Raelians continually make is that there really is no God, only space aliens. There is no soul, no heaven and no hell.

 

In an interesting commentary on the current political/medical controversy, Yahweh claims that he and his co-scientists came to earth to use it as their laboratory because cloning had been declared illegal on their home world by stupid politicians. I guess they have those everywhere (sigh!).

 

Naturally, we are intended to see this as an object lesson in why legislators should keep their hands off cloning and let scientists (who of course never make mistakes or act out of self-interest) do whatever they want to the human genome.

 

Immortality from Beyond the Stars

 

The “gospel” of this Yahweh and his space colleagues teaches that they have been shepherding humanity down through the centuries and now we are ready for the next big step! We have arrived at the technological level at which we could clone humans.

 

This is vital, because Rael claims that cloning is the hope for humanity to achieve immortality. Without a soul, how is this done? The Raelians are encouraged to perfect their cloning techniques. They even have a lab in Canada called Clonaid. It is this organization which had been making the headlines in January.

 

The goal of their cloning is that you can supposedly make a clone of yourself as you begin to age. This clone is then grown by some special accelerated process so that you have a “new you” in a relatively short time. This new “you” would be grown to be a prime age, perhaps around 20. Rael is somewhat vague about this would be done. In a recent interview with Art Bell, he claimed that it had not yet been perfected.

 

When your clone is “ripe” and ready for harvest and you – in turn – are near death, Yahweh’s race of ET’s supposedly has a super-computer which can upload your brain patterns from your old brain. Then they download your patterns and memories (essentially, everything that makes you YOU) into your new clone and you get an entirely new life of 60-80 years. They believe this process can then be repeated ad infinitum.

 

As more and more people become Raelians (there are now supposedly around 60,000 of them in the world – they enjoyed a 5,000 person membership surge since all of the publicity about their supposed clone babies) and work to clone and improve themselves, eventually, we will go off and explore other planets and galaxies and continue to spread our (or actually Yahweh's) DNA everywhere.

This is, strangely enough, supported in a tentative way by one of the discoverers of DNA, Francis Crick and a handful of other scientists (among them eminent astronomers Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe). Crick, who won the Nobel prize, now teaches a new hypothesis called Panspermia. Panspermia (literally all seed) teaches that in distant eons ago, some alien race seeded our planet with DNA and/or the necessary protein molecules to start life.

 

 

This is, of course, a way to breathe life into the dying theory of evolution. Scientists have never been able to explain how a molecule as complex as DNA "evolved” out of the primordial goo. Actually, Panspermia is technically called “Neo-Darwinism,” because it attempts to reconcile the genetic work of Mendel, who said that organisms do not change over time with Darwinism, which claims that they do change.

 

Whether you are talking Neo-Darwinism or old “plain vanilla” Darwinism, it is still nonsense. All the Panspermia idea does is push back the problem of who originally designed the DNA molecules from our planet to some other distant world. Naturally, the Raelians love Panspermia and try to tide on its coat-tails. Of course, Dr. Crick in no way endorses these Raelian doctrines, but yet his theories give them some legitimacy.

 

Comparing the Raelians to the Book!

 

Aside from the obvious intellectual problems with evolution, which are beyond the scope of this article, what can we learn by comparing the doctrines of this strange sect to the Holy Bible?

 

First of all, it is obvious that – like all false religions – they attack the very Bible itself. They claim that it is not reliable, but rather mythic or poetic and not to be taken literally. Though they claim Jesus to be a Raelian space cadet, they deny what He taught: that every word of the Bible is vitally important (Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Jesus quoting Deut 8:3).

 

In many places, the Bible teaches that it is without error and that every word of it has been and will be preserved until the end of the world. One of the best known passages is Jesus’ teaching: Mt 5:18 “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

 

Additionally, though the Raelians would like to make Yahweh sound like just one of a committee of evolved space scientists, the Bible repeated makes it clear that He is both unique and omnipotent (See Deut. 6:4, Isa. 44:6-8, Isa 43:10).

 

Of course, there is no need for a savior, because we do not have souls. This is remarkable, for the Bible (and Jesus Himself) refer to the soul dozens of times and also our need to find salvation for our souls (such as Ezek 18:27, Mr 8:36, Jas 1:21, etc.). How can one lose a soul that does not even exist? Like almost all of these UFO cult groups, the Raelians also teach that:

1) All religions are equally good, so long as they teach love;

2) There is not really any sin or judgment by God;

3) The Bible is mostly allegory and fable;

4) We need to be ecologically sensitive and save the planet;

5) There should be complete sexual freedom between consenting adults.

Obviously, measured by Biblical standards, these concepts are utter nonsense (other than #4 – there is nothing wrong with a balanced ecology – we are to be good stewards of the earth!). The amazing thing about these sort of groups is that even though there is little or no objective reason to believe any of this  information, thousands of supposedly intelligent people have fallen for it.

We have absolutely no reason to believe that this Rael ever met an "alien." He is like a modern version of Joseph Smith or Muhammad - another man with an "angel story." He offers no more proof of his supposed encounter than has his organization in claiming to have cloned babies.

 

On the other hand, the Bible has so many objective ways in which it can be proven to be true (history, archaeology, fulfilled prophecies, etc.) that it is almost bizarre that people will turn away from it and run after "some new thing." (Acts 17:21)

Of course, the Bible demands something in return for its promise of eternal life: surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. All of these UFO pseudo-prophets and their followers want to be their own "little gods" and ignore or belittle the message of Calvary, they need our prayers.

 

What's New!

 

We have a provocative new audio tape, "A Covenant with Death" (item #185) for a suggested donation of $7.00. It discusses what is happening to our country and our culture. What strange spiritual forces have been unleashed in the last generation ration that has caused such a catastrophic change in our nation - and what in the realm of spiritual combat can be done about it?

 

 

Special Note:

If this is your first issue of The Liberator, welcome in Jesus' mighty name! There is no subscription cost for this newsletter. It is supported entirely by the donations of our supporters. However, if you wish to keep receiving it, you must let us know you want it at least once a year. So for you "first-timers," you have a year to decide if you are being
