Roman Catholicism Woven Throughout NAR

It is my belief that Roman Catholic notions weave throughout New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and it's daughter, IHOP by: "practicing 'the presence of God'" (think: RC's mystic Desert Fathers), by calling God's presence down into earthen vessels  (like during the Mass when the priest calls "Jesus" down into the bread and the wine, as the ever-suffering crucified offering), and cleansing from sin will be done by judgment and wrath at the hands of Joel's Army (think purgatory and penance), and here we see the church "like Mary" and thus giving "birth" to Jesus on earth (what Mary did for Jesus in the first coming, the "church" will do for Him in the second coming), 

As Herescope notes:

Dr. Orrel Steinkamp explains the theology of this indwelling “glory” or “presence”:

…some Dominion teachers assert that Jesus can be an ongoing incarnation of God in His body (church) upon the earth. Consequently scriptures pertaining to Christ's ruling on earth are often seen as referringto the church rather than to Jesus. The church is viewed as a kind of Virgin Mary who must give birth to Jesus the indwelling spirit. Francis Frangipane teaches a similar message:

"When the Spirit of Christ comes into the physical world, He must enter through a physical body. When Christ first entered our world as a child, it was Mary whom God chose to give Christ birth. Mary's life symbolized the qualities the church must possess to walk in the fullness of Christ. God is preparing us as He did Mary to give birth to the ministry of His Son. Even now, in the spiritual womb of the virgin church, the Holy purpose of Christ is growing, awaiting maturity, ready to be born in the power and timing of God. The virgin church is in labor and in pain to give birth….”[67][emphases added]

End quote. (bold, original)

They infer that Christ Jesus is incapable of doing great work without man. He needs the help of a human. They reject that His physical conception and birth was purely the work of God alone; that He needs Mary to be a co-redeemer and co-intercessor with people, and that the 'Pope" is Jesus on earth.

It is very weird that NAR's dominionism portrays the church as a pregnant woman ready to give birth. Again quite the sensuous view there, not to mention mystical. The "virgin church"? Like the virgin Mary?  Except NAR is nothing but a harlot, full of doctrines of demons. 

Also, similar to the RCC's catechism #494 that claims Mary in her obedience "became the source of salvation for herself and the whole human race", NAR's dominionism makes "the church" the source of Christ's second coming and end of the tribulation. Not really much of a difference there. In other words just as without Mary there is no Jesus and salvation, without the church there is no second coming of Jesus and deliverance. This is entirely humanistic with a helpless, man-centered God!

NAR makes the church the focus, not Christ. 

The problem is not only focus, but reliablility. People are unreliable, fallible, sinful. NAR has Jesus Christ dependant upon fickle man! He must wait (seems quite passive and the God of Scripture is never passive) until "the church" makes everything read to usher in His second coming (He didn't with the first one either)--except that it's not about us, it's not with our power, it's not our doing. NAR by it's nature proves the point: they are wholly deceived and in sin. Thank God HE isn't relying on them to bring about His plan (and the biblical plan of the biblical God is not what NAR wants it to be--they are the wicked HE is using, however to bring about His purpose--likely that great deception 2 Thes. 2 discusses "because they did not receive the love of the truth."). 

The Book of Revelation, that is, the revealing of Jesus Christ, shows that all that occurs on Earth, pre-tribulation, post-tribulation, during the millennial rule of Christ Jesus, and afterwards, is all according to His decree and will. HE judges, HE punishes, HE rules, HE reigns, HE makes it all happen.

Moreover, the NAR claims that His purpose is growing in stages (evolving?), still infantile. I guess now, in addition to needing His mother, Jesus now needs the children? I find it quite insulting to His character and nature. 

This is hardly the Sovereign King of all kings and Lord of all lords, who has predestined all that is to happen before time began. He is not waiting like a pregnant woman with His plans going in stages. All that happens is because He is Creator and Master of this universe, Owner, and King. What God has determined, happens. He needs no one. NAR's prophets have a god that is all too much like themselves: faulty, inept, impotent, unholy.

And lastly, it was the RCC, after all, that did get into literal bloody battles for "spiritual" reasons, for example, The Crusades. Joel's Army is supposed to bring a blood bath first to the "household of God" to "purify it".

Psa 33:6  By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. 7  He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses. 8  Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!9  For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm. 10  The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. 11  The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.

Dan 4:35  all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and He does according to His will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay His hand or say to Him, "What have you done?" 

I'm sure there are other similarities between Romanism and NAR. As I find them I'll probably post them.
