A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, RIGHT?

A simple question: How does this honor the TRUE Lord of Heaven?

This is St. Mary Parish in Buffalo Grove, IL.
By now, you can see that a hexagram and a triangle, especially those with an all seeing eye, are Masonic symbols that say "See, here we are!" They are truly counting on people being too stupid to notice or too care. Like all criminal personality disorder narcissistic sociopaths, they take GREAT pleasure in hiding their intent in plain sight because 1: They want to believe and show that they are smarter than the general population, and 2: They want to be able to laugh and say "We told you so but you were to dumb to see" when the anti-christ finally takes power.
FYI: This Church has an organization in it called Our Lady Of The Grove Council. Isn't it ironic, that a Church that has Masonic symbols on it Has a men's group with this name, obviously attributed to Mary. The ironic part is  scripturally, a grove in the Old Testament in Hebrew is asherah, which is also the pagan goddess's name, Asherah,  to whom the grove was dedicated. Asherah or Ashoreth (synonyms) is always associated with Baal, and always as his consort.
Judges 6:25  And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove (ashorah) that is by it:
2Kings 21:7  And he set a graven image of the grove (ashorah) that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
2Kings 23:4  And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove (ashorah), and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron,
1Kings 11:5  For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1Kings 11:33  Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
2Kings 23:13  And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. 
Whether they know it or not, when this group calls themselves after "Our Lady Of the Groves", it lines up squarley with Ashoreth and her ashorah!
THERE ARE FAR, FAR TOO MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE  ATTRIBUTES OF THE CATHOLIC'S PERPETUAL VIRGIN MARY AND THE PAGAN GODDESS, ASHORAH/ASHORETH, WHO IS ALSO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN WORSHIPED BY THE ISRAELITES IN JEREMIAH 7:18, JEREMIAH 44:17-26. I have done extensive research on this subject that I have yet to publish here. Research that is  independent of whatever other site has done or any other information has been written about it. I did not go to any conspiratorial site to obtain my info, although I know that you will find that we have found the same facts.
For Catholics who really DON'T know, I pray that they will allow the Holy Spirit to open there eyes and truly seek God, even if what they find goes against their Church doctrine.

TO THE NON-CHRISTIAN/ANTI-CHRISTIAN, KJV ONLY CHRISTIANS, AND USERS OF OTHER BIBLICAL TRANSLATIONS

FIRSTLY
I am in no way insinuating King James Version Only believers, or those who choose to use translations other than the KJV bible are non-Christians.

SECONDLY
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRIST, AND THOSE WHO HATE HIM!


TO THE NON- CHRISTIAN
For a myriad of different reasons you think valid, you say  the bible is not the word of God.  However, a non Christian will never be able to have a clear understanding of biblical scriptures ,and no one should expect you to. God tells us the book that you don't accept as His word  has to be spiritually discerned. By that, God means that a person who is not Christian, cannot understand the things of or the word of Christ, the Bible, because it is ONLY through HIS Spirit that understanding comes:
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Neither your lack of belief, nor refusal to believe in any way change the truth of the gospel message and the veracity of the Bible being the Word of God. But fret not, many who identify as Christians do not allow God to give them understanding, either. Some purposefully because they will not submit to His Spirit.

The simplified gospel message is this:
THE WAY OF SALVATION
God is Holy and we are all sinful. Sin is what separates us from God. Being separated from God means we  will never be able to live up to God's standards for holiness on our own. Because God is Holy, sin can't be in His presence, nor by it's very nature does it want to. 
As such eternal spiritual separation from God is the price we must pay for our sinfulness. 
The place that is designated for sinners is called hell, but it doesn't have to be our destination. His holiness says hell is our destination, but in His love, He tells us that He wants heaven to be our destination (2 Peter 3:9). In the times of the Old Testament, because God loved us, He accepted the sacrifice of animals in our places as payment for our sin, but promised a time when there would be no more animal sacrifices (Psalm 40:6, Hebrews 10:5-12; This latter one may be difficult to understand by itself, but taken with psalm 40:6, God will grant you understanding) and His laws would be written in our hearts (Psalms 40:8, 2 Corinthians 3:3). That person Is Jesus Christ, who, through some way we cant get our heads around, He is God in the flesh and loved us so much that He willingly went to the cross to pay for our sins (John 12:27, Matthew 26:53-54 Philippians 2:6-8)John 1:1-4  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2  The same was in the beginning with God.  3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.Christ was born of a virgin, lived a holy, sinless life, died as a penalty for our sins, but was resurrected the third day. Mark 16, John 20
Because He was without sin and death is for the sinner, death could not hold Him. Christ says that He is Both resurrection and life! (John 11:25) The Only Way, The only Truth and The Only Life! Without accepting Him, we will not make it into heaven.
If you are willing to have a real relationship with God, if you desire to know the creator God as He has revealed Himself to us in Christ Jesus, you must realize that you are a sinner separated from a Holy God in need of a savior. Jesus Christ is that Savior who sacrificed Himself for our sins that we can have salvation and go to heaven and dwell with God. If you, by faith, are willing to accept Christ as savior, His sacrifice that He made for your sins and TRULY make Him Lord over your life, repent (turn away from)of  your sins, audibly confess Him you will be saved. Romans 10:9-11  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

REGARDING WHAT WE CALL THE "TRINITY"

Classic, traditional Trinitarians will have a problem with my understanding and explanation of what we call the trinity of God, and will deem me not a true Christian. The classic understanding of the Trinity is not a prerequisite to become a born again believer, or else NO ONE would be a Christian. Firstly, because it doesn't make sense to a non Christian, and secondly, how many Christians understood the trinity before becoming saved? NONE! HOW MANY CHRISTIANS WOULD SAY YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRINITY SINCE COMING TO CHRIST? NONE! The only thing Trinitarians DO understand is they agree to accept the doctrine!
I am a Bible believing Christian, I believe by faith in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I have learned to trust in what the Lord has revealed to me, and not what people have determined doctrine to be. The only way I can explain Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, and how I have come to understand it with my spiritual mind is this: The Father is fully God, has been and always will be. Christ is fully God, has been and always will be. The Holy Spirit is God, always has been and always will be. God disclosed Himself to Moses and Israel simply as "I AM" (Exodus 3:14). He later revealed Himself in this way: 

Deuteronomy 6:4  Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

My understanding is this: God IS. God IS ONE. He IS ONE who has eternally existed and has chosen to reveal Himself to us as Father, Son,  in redemption 
and Holy Spirit. 

IF YOU PROFESS CHRIST,

Confessing Christians, listen to the words of the Holy Spirit:

2 Peter 2:20-22  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.  21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.  22  But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
