I delayed a lot intentionally to write this article because I know as a Christian it is improper for me to judge others (Matt 7:1). However seeing the plight of some Christians who have become victims of this devilish cult and are being ruined, I am writing some facts, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that I personally saw, heard and experienced in the so-called emperor Emmanuel center (I will not call it a Church). I make it clear that my intention is not to defame or hurt anyone, as I know that it will bring me no good, but to reveal the 'Truth' for the Glory of Lord Jesus Christ. If this post helps an existing member of the faction to realize the fact and manage to escape from their clutches, or if a prospective member who is being lured and tempted by one of the fallen angels to attend their classes, decides not to go and keeps away from them, my purpose will be served and I can feel content that I have done my duty of warning (Ezek 33:7-9) and will get the rewards promised in the Holy Word of God (James 5: 19-20), for which alone I am writing.
In the 2000-year long history of the Catholic Church, there are a number of cults started by some dissenting members who are mostly psychos and are rebellious in nature. There are historical data of many such cults that were prevalent in this century. Some were large with an enrolled membership of a about fifty thousand, while some others were comparatively small. But most of these groups had a quick growth and faded away after a few years. Different cults were infamous in different ways. While some cults were notorious for their committing of mass suicide alongside their leader and disciples, some others were involved in anti-social and uncivilized activities! Regardless of their motto and modus operandi, they all succeeded to some extend in attracting some thoughtless foolish people and spoiling their lives and ruining their souls.
We have been witnessing that even hard core terrorists and criminals who act as the representatives of devil and indulge in looting, killing and destruction have some followers. These stupid followers have their own absurd reasons and senseless explanations which an average person cannot understand or digest. Some disgruntled people who fail to get the expected position or recognition in the organization they belong, oppose it and fabricate some new twisted doctrines and search for like-minded disobedient and dissatisfied mentalities and attract them.
This is what has actually happened with joseph ponnara, the brain behind the 'emperor Emmanuel cult'. He was once moving with the Catholic Charismatic team and probably his personal pride to become the head might have driven him out of the team to start a cult by presenting the Holy Word of God in a twisted manner to suit his whims and fancies. When one dissociates himself from God, naturally satan will be ready to take advantage of the situation and will be at his aid to use him as a 'powerful' tool to damage the Church of Lord Jesus. Obviously he received the help and strength of the devil to give long blasphemous lectures tirelessly for many hours. Also as many people say he was granted special powers by the dark angels to brainwash gullible and arrogant people to believe him and make his followers. Most of his classes were abusing the Catholic Church and the Priests/heads of the Church with whom he had worked.
When I was told about this new center, I attended a class in 2014 (not to test it) thinking that it is from God and Word of God is shared there. The atmosphere initially seemed conducive. But when I started seeing and listening to his non-stop slanderous speech about the Catholic Church, other Christian denominations and other religions with malicious intention, I was shocked and started getting doubts. How could a servant of God speak in such vulgar manner on a dais (in a place they call a Church) where he is supposed to share the Holy Bible. Upon further observation, I could understand clearly that the Biblical versus spoken there were mostly twisted and manipulated (or picked from different places in the Bible mentioned at different circumstances) and presented as 'ponnara's gospel'. Most of the audience, not knowing this or having insufficient Biblical knowledge, were sitting and listening spellbound and enjoying his abusive speech with frequent applauding. As he was presenting a different message other than what is mentioned in the Holy Bible, the Word of God reminded me, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!" (Gal. 1:8)
Unlike other retreat centers, where doubts and differences of opinions are tried to solve, ponnara repeatedly asked any participants who differed with his views to leave the place silently. I could see the number of participants decreasing. I also observed that some devout Catholics who initially disagreed with his profane talk eventually raised their hands in support on the final day. I affirm that I was able to escape the trap with the help of the Blessed Virgin Mother, through reciting the Rosary Prayers many times.
Emperor Emmanuel (Zion)Church cult founded (by joseph ponnara the agent of the dark angel) and operating from Muriyad near Irinjalakuda in Thrissur district of Kerala is not a Christian grouping. It has some odd and strange teachings that change frequently. There are apparently some satan-worshippers operating in some parts of Kerala since long, but as they could not succeed much in deceiving and trapping the faithful, satan might have used joseph ponnara and team to carryout the work of devil in a smooth and appealing manner.
Some of the uncanny teachings / facts of emperor Emmanuel cult:
1. They don't believe in the triune God which is an unfathomable, and yet an unmistakable doctrine in the Holy Scripture and the foundation of any Christian Belief. (similar to jehovah's witness)
2. They preach that Lord Jesus has already returned to the world in human form for the second time. (satan's preaching to mislead)
3. Joseph Ponnara used to declare repeatedly that Emmanuel would land straight away in the 'ark shaped building' constructed at their compound and only he and his followers will be raptured alive straight to heaven. (Even after his untimely death a year ago, many of his followers continue to remain to be blind. When asked about his death (contrary to his prophecy) they say he was called prior to heaven to stand at the gates of heaven to welcome his followers! (maverick false teaching)
4. He predicted the rebirth of a 'saviour' (claiming that his paramour, who was pregnant at that time, would give birth to this child). Now that the expected child has turned out to be a girl, they claim she is 'Mother Mary'! (blasphemous teaching
5. The Catholic Church is the greatest enemy of ponnara and the agents of the hell. Though they use the Holy Bible printed by the Catholic POC, their primary work is to oppose the Church in every way. They collect the negative news of the Universal Church and circulate it and find some pleasure out of it. They show contempt and throw away sacred statues and images of the Lord who saved them and His mother who still prays with tears for them. They wear rosaries without a crucifix! They feast on the Good Friday when the whole universe observe fasting, prayers and penance. (all these point doubtlessly their actions are satanic)
6. While Christianity advocates for love, forgiveness and unity, they preach hatred and disunity. The majority of emperor Emmanuel cult members have broken relationships with their family members and others.
7. All Christians pray fervently for peace and happiness throughout the world. They also pray for the safety and security of everyone on this planet. But, you may not believe, the members of the above mentioned cult pray for the occurrence of wars and natural calamities. They say these things will fulfill the 'will' of God.
"Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct--as irrational animals do--will destroy them". (Jude 1:10)
Most members of the emperor Emmanuel cult are rigid fanatics. They will go to any extend to trap a soul in to their sect. They have to do this to get maximum possible number of people, as the number of people leaving them also is on the rise.
Dear Reader, if you have gone to this place or attended their classes, please quit them immediately. If you are being invited or insisted by one of their members to attend their first class, please do not oblige. Resist firmly any offers or sweet words or deeds. Their modus-operandi is like that of the ISIS. They first tell anyone nicely to 'just come and attend once'. They will repeatedly tell initially there is NO force or compulsion to join them. But it is very difficult for anyone to withstand their pressure and threatening after attending a class..!
Please read the following Bible Versus and meditate upon them with the help of the Holy Spirit.
1. Lord Jesus is the head of the Church and the Church is His Body. (Ephe. 1:22-23)
2. Do not let anyone who have lost connection with the Head (Jesus) deceive you ... iColo. 2: 18-19)
3. Let no one deceive you with empty words... (Ephe. 5:6)
4. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but ... against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Eph. 6:12)
5. "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;... (Gal. 1: 6-9)
6. "For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed..." (2 Cor. 11:3-4)
7. "Brothers and sisters,stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us..." (2 Thes. 2:15)
8. "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron". (1 Timothy 4:1)
9. "Whoever teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ..." (1 Timothy 6:3-4)
10. "...so that you may instruct certain people not to teach any different doctrine, and not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies that promote speculations rather than the divine training..." (1 Timo: 1: 3-7)
11. "For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths" (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
12. "They profess to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work" (Titus 1:16)
13. "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions. They will even deny the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves". (2 Peter 2:1)
14. "Whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring against them a slanderous judgment from the Lord. These people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and when those creatures are destroyed, they also will be destroyed (2 Peter 2:11-12)
15. "Children, it is the last hour! As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. From this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by going out they made it plain that none of them belongs to us.(1 John 2:18-19)
16. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world". (1 John 4:1)
17. 'Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen' (1 John 4:20)
