Truth or Trump?

You know, it has been a crazy year. 2020 will go down as one of those years in human history as being unforgettable. There has been loss, pain, suffering and so much more. Sadly, the year hailed as the year of "clear vision" has revealed that the Body of Christ is being illuminated like never before. Let me explain as we go to the Word of God... And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you. -- II Chronicles 18:19‭-‬22 NKJV For a while now I...

Responding To Gays Being Pastors

In my meanderings online I saw a post that showed two women as a Pastor and "First Lady" which in years past would have caused me to be angry or appalled at the thought and I would begin to say things from the flesh about it. I still don't agree with homosexuals serving in positions of spiritual leadership and I never will accept it. However, when I saw this post at first I wanted to comment, but then I asked God for His revelation and His Words... This is what I shared: I have been quiet because I didn't want to speak without guidance from God so... Regardless of the sin, regardless of the condition anyone living in open rebellion to the Word of God cannot and must not serve in a pastoral capacity. I love everyone regardless of who and what they are as the Bible says that "Love covers a multitude of sins" but nowhere does love excuse or forgive sin. We have to be careful with that word judge. Judging is dangerous by mere human means and to these women in ...

The Pagan Origin of Easter

Easter is a day that is honored by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which includes an "Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits. Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter. Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Savior? The first thing we must understand is that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter." This festival called "Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter”, was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god. In those ancient times, there was a man ...

Conversation with a Catholic Webmaster, Part II

Continuing from an earlier post I have had more conversations with a Catholic webmaster who challenged me and wanted to tout catholic doctrine above all others. Here is the email thread: So after many replies John replied to me: I suggest you read [the] book THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR THE PAPACY for starters, in which you will learn that ALL of the early Church Fathers held to the Catholic view of the Papacy. And in [the] latest book THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR TRADITION which came out last week, [There is] an entire chapter on the Fathers with hundreds of quotes from them proving historically that they not only believed in the papacy and the primacy of the Roman Church, but also apostolic succession, baptismal regeneration, the sacrifice of the Mass, the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, oral apostolic Tradition, intercessory prayer, Purgatory, and a whole host of other Catholic doctrines which would force any honest non-Catholic to reconsider his position. There are simply hundre...

The Idolatry Of Mary, the mother of Jesus

Continuing with the posts that I know will not be received well we will look at the horrific idolization of the mother of Jesus Christ. She is "venerated" by members of the Catholic faith, but it is completely against the Bible and is satanic and witchcraft. I implore any Catholic who may read these words and be infuriated stop and get out a Bible and read for yourself what God has to say in his Word! I love you and I want you to see what the Bible has to say about how we are to relate to God and how He relates to us! When St. Paul was preaching in Ephesus, he had an exceptionally serious problem with the local idolatry. In fact, this is the only time that the Bible says that persecution of Christians came directly from the conflict of the Church with idolatry. The people of Ephesus, prior to the introduction of the Christian Faith, had mainly been worshippers of the pagan Greek goddess Artemis, also known by her Roman name, Diana. This was one of the largest active pagan...

Relationship vs. Religion

This is a major problem in Christendom. In my mind there are so many people confused about the differences between a relationship with Jesus Christ versus the tenets of Religion that it has caused many people to fall away from the faith or choose rather not to get into it. We as people need to understand that when we are saved we are not baptized into a system that was formulated by the postulates or rules of people as they interpreted the Word of God, but a one-to-one relationship with the God of the Universe that no one can have any say in but God Himself and you. Period. I know that this post is long, but it is necessary! What are We Seeking? Religion or Relationship? God does not want a people who simply adhere to a set of rules no matter how well intended. God said in the book of Hosea, “For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, and in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6). Sacrifices meant nothing because their hearts were unfaithful to God. God ...

Can I Access God For Myself?

One of the questions that seem to plague many Christians today is the question of access to God Himself. The answer is YES! I have myself at one time wondered why did God need a mediator between Himself and us? Of course I learned as time progressed that this only supposed to be in place until Jesus came to die for us on the cross and pay the heavy price of sin for us all. One thing that happened that signified the change from needing priest to represent us and going to God directly involved the curtain being torn in the temple at the moment of Christ's death on the cross. During the lifetime of Jesus, the holy temple in Jerusalem was the center of Jewish religious life not unlike how our churches are for us today. The temple was the place where animal sacrifices were carried out and worship according to the Law of Moses was followed faithfully. Hebrews 9:1-9 tells us that in the temple a veil separated the Holy of Holies—the earthly dwelling place of God’s presence—from the res...

Why Is Revealing The Truth So Important?

A good question that has been plaguing many Christians and truth seekers for so many years. There are so many false doctrines and unscriptural practices out there that are parading themselves as the truth that many who are seeking God run into these counterfeits or people who have no idea why they believe what they believe. My prayer is that this blog will begin the process of getting people to seek God on their own and ask Him for the answer they seek versus a man or woman who is interpreting what God said to them. The goal of this blog is to not bash or trash anyone and their beliefs. You can freely seek God in any way that you wish. However, according to the Bible there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. According to Acts 2:38 we must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. We must follow Romans 10:9-10 and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and that He is risen from the dead and then we shall be saved. It is ...
