LORNA BYRNE - ANGELS IN MY HAIR
LORNA - TOUCHED IN THE HEAD BY AN ANGEL
Popular Lorna Byrne is an irritatingly sweet "Catholic" lady who
claims to have constant visions of angels. She produced a book
called Angels in my Hair.
Lorna Byrne was interviewed on BBC1 March 2012 during the Big
Questions. The media and booksellers are her real support, not
angels.
Sweet? She is in fact a manipulator who has stolen her place on the Roman
Catholic bandwagon. She exploits Catholics who do not understand
their own religion.
One of her central ideas is the totally pagan idea of reincarnation.
She reportedly saw Martin Luther King reincarnated as a white man.
Luther King would find this assertion very offensive as a devout
Christian. The reincarnation doctrine contradicts the core Catholic
teaching that resurrection is our goal and that we only have one
life on earth and then are judged. Reincarnation is useful to those
who wish to deny anybody can end up in the Catholic version of Hell
forever. The Catechism of the Catholic Church reads, "“Death is the
end of man's earthly pilgrimage, of the time of grace and mercy
which God offers him so as to work out his earthly life in keeping
with the divine plan, and to decide his ultimate destiny. When the
single course of our earthly life is completed, we shall not return
to other earthly lives: It is appointed for men to die once."
She wrote this rubbish, "When a soul has gone to Heaven it is in
a position to intercede with God in a much more powerful way, on
behalf of family and loved ones, than it can do when it was here on
earth." The Bible says the prayer of the just man on earth is
the most powerful thing ever. And if God is really able to be
close to you, it will not matter if you are dead or alive.
Your praying on earth or in Heaven will be equally potent. And
are we going to have to start euthanising people so that they can
look after their families better?
Catholicism believes in praying to and venerating the angels. The
Bible however does not teach that God's angels are saintly and good.
The book of Tobit says the angel Raphael told lies. The Book of
Revelation has Jesus giving revelations to the angels of the Church
of say Sardis and giving out about its sins. "To the angel of the
church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the
seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you
have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead." The angel is
blamed for the condition of the members of the Church. That is why
the angel is chastised as their representative.
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the
words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What
he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I
know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no
one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have
kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who
are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are
not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet
and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my
command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of
trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the
inhabitants of the earth.
This text about the false Jews having to fall at the feet of the
angel shows it is literal. All the text says is that they will bow
before the angel to admit that Jesus loves him. It does not imply
any veneration for the angel.
The Church thinks the angels here stand for the Church in different
areas but it can be taken literally and therefore it should be. The
Church is merely speculating. And there is the episode where an
angel fought Jacob all night. The dallying with angels and invoking
of them is just Spiritualism. It is occult and the Bible God is
sternly opposed to it.
Lorna told the Huffington Post, "In the years following, the angels
explained to me that different religions have different beliefs,
different traditions and different ways of praying. They always
emphasized, however, that it was one and the same God that while
religions are different one is not superior to another, and that one
day all religions would come together under one umbrella. I see
angels in every place of prayer regardless of religion. No one ever
prays alone, I see angels at prayer with everyone, even if one is
simply saying a short prayer while waiting for the bus. The angels
have told me that when people of different religions come together
to pray with an open heart and mind, not wishing to convert or
defend, but simply to praise God and talk about him, then the power
of their prayer is magnified." In one of her books she wrote, "“the
angels had always told me that it didn't matter what religion anyone
belonged to.”
People say about how nice and sincere she is and that she does not
care if people believe her or not. It is easy for her to give the
impression that she doesn't care when she has her fanbase of
fanatical believers. The woman is proof that the religious claim:
"We believe in miracles because good and sincere people said they
experienced them and it seems they were not lying" is mistaken and
useless. Miracle believers only care about what they want to
believe.
While it is sectarian for a man-made religion to boast that it is
better than other religions, all religions cannot be as good as one
another. The suggestion that angels do not like people who come
together to find converts is in clear contradiction to Christ who
commanded that all nations must be brought into discipleship.
Her angels tell her that the Church has erred in its teaching.
Angels are a New Age fad. The New Agers have angels that the Church
has never established devotion to such as Uriel. It is really a case
of people who are not believers cloaking their fairy-tales in
Christianity to deceive the Christian market.
Believers in these New Age angels tend to stress the angels for the
angels own sake. This contradicts the Catholic teaching that saints
and angels are to be honoured only as friends and creations and
revealers of God - meaning that it is really God who is being
honoured.
Her book Angels in My Hair never mentions Jesus or the Holy Spirit.
She contradicts the Catholic doctrine that we do not choose our
lives on earth for our lives begin at conception. For us to have a
choice, we would need to exist before conception.
The contradicts the Catholic teaching that the Catholic Church is
the one true Church. For her, it doesn't matter what religion you
belong to. This despite the hypocrisy of her claim to be a voice for
the angels. Are we to believe that it doesn't matter if the angels
speak to a religion or not?
She talks to dead people and ghosts - the sin of necromancy. She was
able to become one person with her dead brother.
Her God insults those who people have hurt very badly by forgiving
all as if their sin didn't matter.
Page 167 reveals her shocking claim that the baby in its mother's
womb consents if she chooses to have an abortion! For Catholics she
is soft-pedalling abortion which is seen as murder and a grave sin.
"We have an awful lot of abortions in the world, but one must
remember that even if a mother decides to have an abortion, that
little soul already knows that its mother may do this, and even
knowing this, that soul has already chosen this woman to be its
mother...It is unconditional love. It already knows what will happen
and still will pour its love into you."
She even prayed in a Born Again Christian Prayer Group on the advice
of the Archangel Michael.
Page 173 states that she knows there is a place called Hell but she
has no indication that there is anybody actually in Hell. "I know
there is a place called Hell and that it actually exists, but God
has never shown me anyone being sent there. God forgives everyone -
no matter what they have done". A slightly more believable
revelation, Fatima, says, "You have seen Hell, where the souls of
poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the
world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart." Byrne says then that God
forgives everybody implying that he has made a place of punishment
that nobody can go to for he intends to forgive them and let them
off the hook. Smart God!
She puts her utterances above better verified visions (I am only
saying they are better verified not that they are believable!) such
as Fatima where the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared and said, "You
have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them,
God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate
Heart." Why go to all that trouble if nobody goes to Hell?
Knowledgeable Catholics see her as New Age.
