Hi [Xxxxx], thank you the kind words.  Paul was speaking of himself in the third party out of modesty.

2 Cor 12:1-4 [Paul speaking]
12 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.  KJV

    There are three Heaven ages just as the are three Earth ages; not different places, but different times.  The "third Heaven" is the one spoke of in Revelation chapter 21. 

Rev 21:1-5
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.  KJV

    As to the confusing use of the term "first" in verse one; i.e., "for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away", see our explanation at:  The 'first' heaven and the 'first' earth reference in Rev 21:1

    For the three Earth ages see 2nd Peter chapter 3.  In other words, for every Earth age there is a corresponding Heaven age.

2 Peter 3:5-13
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was [1st Age], being overflowed with water, perished [this is not speaking of Noah's Flood, the world did not perish in that deluge]:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now [2nd Age], by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth [3rd Age], wherein dwelleth righteousness.  KJV 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Nick Goggin

Hello [Xxxxxxxx].  My, you have a whole little hotbed of activity going on over there in the Aloha state.  :o)

    And I'm jealous of your locale, I figure that a bad day in Hawaii is better than a good day in Chicago. 

    You mentioned "deprogramming;" do you know what the greatest deprogrammer in the world is?  A freshly opened King James Bible and a prayer to the Lord for His Holy Spirit guidance while reading it. 

    As for the AoG (Assemblies of God), they are a bad denomination, they are into all that "spirituality stuff."  They are like so many of the Pentecostal, "Azusa Street Revival" doctrine, and even the more mainstream denominations like some Baptist churches, etc., churches that focus way too much on "feeling" their religion rather than following it, way too much on "feeling" God rather than on believing Him.  They are "carnal believers," they seek spiritual manifestations that they can feel.  The more the better, and like an addict they always seek greater kicks, until their worship services look like nothing less than an African Voodoo session.

    In many sects of this "new religion" (or new religious practices leavened into traditional Biblical Christianity) the women dance violently in the aisles, interrupting the services, stomping their feet, flailing their arms, shaking their heads violently back and forth and up and down, as though they are under an occult spell.  You can witness this any Sunday morning if you turn on the TV and go to the local cable access stations (low cost airtime) that televise local church services, primarily the Black congregations among the Baptist and Pentecostal faiths.  It looks as if they never left their ancient African Voodoo practices, but just incorporated them into (leavened them into) protestant-style Christian sects, like they do In New Orleans with the blend of Voodoo and Catholicism.

    And if you've ever seen it, it is disturbing to watch; their eyes become glazed-over, faces pained, exhibiting total loss of physical control over themselves.  Often they also babble in the demonic tongues ("talking in tongues") during this spiritually overwhelming outbreak.  And they dare to call this a Christian practice!  Shame on them!  Can you imagine what Jesus would have done if one of these goofs would have jumped up during the Sermon on the Mount and did this garbage?

    The problem with "spirits" and "spiritual contact" is that not all spiritual feelings are of God—not all spirits are the Holy Spirit—but there are also evil spirits.  Observe:

    Take note, the above was a warning: "many false prophets are gone out into the world".  And just where do you suppose that you would find one of these false prophets?  In the tavern?  In a whore house?  At a satan-worshipping gathering?  No, you will find them in the churches, of course; they go where their targets are at.  "False" prophets impersonate true prophets; therefore, they set-up operation in the place of the true prophets—in the Christian churches teaching God's Word.  A false prophet is also a false teacher.

   Now, not all preachers who make honest mistakes in some of their doctrine are false teachers, they may simply be in human error themselves.  No man is perfect.  So be careful how you judge a ministry or minister.  However, a false teacher is one who willingly and knowingly teaches something that he knows is wrong; or, one who after having being alerted and shown through the Scriptures, and he has no Scriptural support for his own position, and indeed his doctrine is convicted as false by sound Scripture, and then he continues to teach an errant doctrine for the purpose of "saving face," choosing his own reputation over the truth of God's doctrines.  Or teaching error to keep the money, the tithes and offerings flowing in; because his congregations wants to hear smooth easy doctrine (like Rapture) no matter that it is false doctrine.
 

Shocking documentary video

    One more thing on these strange new unBiblical manifestations that are happening in these churches world-wide, and then we will move on.  In the below video you shall witness a whole bunch of souls in a congregation become possessed right before your eyes.  It is disturbing, to say the least.  Now, I could have selected any one of scores of videos that show this type of evil spirit manifestation masquerading as the Holy Spirit, but I selected this one for a special purpose.  That is: along with my main point about the video I would also like you to, in the beginning of the video, before things "heat up," observe how confusing it can be to have a multi-language sermon.  In this video the sermon is in three languages, the original preacher's language, which is then followed by two other language translators who try to keep up in real time.  The reason that I point this out is because this is the best example that I have ever found to teach just what exactly God meant by the below Scripture:

1 Cor 14:27-28
27 If any man speak in an unknown¹ tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.  KJV

¹ UNKNOWN tongue =  not your native tongue; i.e., a foreign language.  The word "unknown" is not in the manuscripts, and if you look in your King James Bible you will be alerted to that by them placing the word unknown in italics.  No other Bible version alerts you to added-by-the-Translators words (added readability in English).  Below is the Strong's definition for the above "in an unknown tongue":

in an unknown tongue:  Greek word #1100  glossa (gloce-sah'); of uncertain affinity; the tongue; by implication, a language (specially, one naturally unacquired):  KJV - tongue.

   It is good to teach the above Scripture because "tongue-talkers" try to make the above Scripture into supporting the "tongues" babble that they speak.  One more thing, one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is "tongues," but what those tongues are is language skills that just pop into your head though you had never before studied that foreign language. God gifts some  missionaries with this gift when they go into foreign-language mission fields. That is the purpose of the gift of tongues.  Not what the deceived masses are doing in the Pentecostal, Baptist, Charismatic, Catholic Apostolic, etc., churches today.  These aforementioned deceived ones even tell poor beginning Christians that their brand of tongues (babble) is the "witness that you have the Holy Spirit," and that if you don't babble like them then you haven't got the Holy Spirit and is evidence that you are not saved.  Shame on these liars, deceivers, and play-actors, for scaring young Christians and causing them to doubt their own faith!  The babblers are the ones who are without the Holy Spirit and who are in great danger of being in an unsaved state themselves, those consorters with demons!  In the below video we shall see their spiritual brethren in action.

    That having been said, below is 4:29 Min. video of a 2006 sermon being given at Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka.  The sermon style would indicate that it is a Pentecostal-type denomination, though it isn't stated to be one (it may also be Charismatic).  But this is what is happening in these type of churches (and not only in the Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations) all around the world.

    The Pentecostal faith is growing in leaps and bounds in Third World countries and is gaining great traction in Latin America populations and among Hispanics generally (as is also other false religions, Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses).  When Christianity is counted up, these false creeds are included also into true Christianity's numbers, so that there aren't as many Christians in this world as the numbers and polls might show.  And in the Tribulation these (and other false-Christians) will be among those that shall betray you and deliver you up to the persecutors when you do not have the spirit that is all over them—evil spirits.  What you shall see in this video stems from the Azusa Street Revival in L.A., California (1906-1915) which was the primary catalyst for the spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century.  Which is the font head of the new so-called "Third Wave" ministries and ministers.

    In the below video you will witness "Talking in Tongues," "dancing in the spirit," and "Slain in the Spirit," all of them UNBiblical practices.  And you should have no problem "feeling" the evil spirits present in this gathering.  As you watch it, try to imagine how God feels about this as He looks down.

    Also, if you carefully analyze what is going on here you will observe that the (female) preacher is not giving a sermon, she is channeling a demon.  Listen to her speech, she is actually speaking the words of the false god (demon) who she refers to as "an angel."  She is not saying that "this is what so-and-so is saying," she is speaking the words as though the demon has entered her and has taken over her vocal cords.  The preacher begins by saying (on her own),

"Right now this place is filled with his glory." [With whose glory? — WBSG]
"I see an angel in this place." [Not Jesus Christ — WBSG]
"This place is filled with a white cloud."

    Then she goes right into the angel's (demon's) speech.  Her voice also changes from this point forward, which is significant.  Make sure to remember at this point in the video to observe how she appears to be being filled with something, as though a spirit has entered here.  She is now channeling a demon.  Watch for that at this point in the video right before she begins the demon's speech, which goes on like this:

[Note: Every line below is followed by the two translator's repeat into their respective languages]

"You are special people."
"You are precious people."
"I have loved you"
"I have loved you"
"I have loved you"
"I have loved you"
"You are my people."
"I have loved you."
"I have given my life for you."
"I love my people."
"Be not afraid."
...
"I am here - to deliver you."
...
(Talking in Tongues)

    Then she uses a Benny Hinn phrase:

(Talking in Tongues)
"My fire."
"My fire."
"My fire."
"The fire of God is descending."
"The fire of God is descending."
"Be not afraid."
(Talking in Tongues)

    Everything beginning with the first line above, "You are special people", is the demon speaking for himself (through her).  Also observe that the translators slowly at first and then increasingly become overcome by this spirit until at the end the two translators and the female pastor are jumping up and down unable to contain it, losing control over their bodies.

    Also observe that the possessed people in the crowd are all female, even though there are (a few) men in service taking care of babies and whatnot, they are not affected.  Females are much more easily effected by evil spirits and satan (and false teachers), just like Eve; and it is the primary reason that women are not to have authority over men nor are they to teach/lead in the churches.  They are unstable and easily beguiled.  Which is why God gave men to women to lead them in the family and in the churches.  Though weaker men are also easily deceived as well, especially Homosexual men.  (I know that that may offend some, but...but what would you rather hear, carefully edited commentary or the truth?  And in knowing the truth and the danger you will be better prepared to safeguard against it.)

    And finally, also observe that Jesus Christ is not once mentioned, the only name of deity used is the universal term "God" (or "god").  Even Satanists call satan their god.

Possessions in the church

  A Scripture comes immediately to mind after viewing the above shocking video:

1 Cor 14:32-33
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.  KJV

    And how ironic that the very next verse following the above one would speak of the female preacher that was leading this spiritual madness:

1 Cor 14:34-35
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.  KJV

    Perhaps now we know a little bit of the reason why God refused to ordain female preachers and church leaders.

    Moving on.... 

    As for the healings those preachers around you are claiming to do?  Well, I certainly do not deny the power of God, but I do question one who would claim such a huge miracle in their life and then go on to teach falsely, lifting up Christ's and God's enemies as "heroes."  I refer to where you stated of them:

"The last two weeks a man who surgeons removed his entire stomach and was miraculously healed, preached here and prayed for the sick. Am I correct in thinking the gifts and calling of God are without repentance?  He was here with a group of pro-Zionist Christians and one Jew celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles. He kept editorializing 'lost sheep of the House of Israel- the Jews'."

    You know, it is very easy for someone to claim healings.  Look at Benny Hinn, he "heals hundreds" but they aren't really healed, and often it is a scam; he has been exposed.  Hinn, like many in the denominations I mentioned earlier, is a spiritist, which means that they dabble in spirits—evil spirits.  Hinn claims to communicate with his mentor, Katherine Kuhlman, from beyond the grave, and that he received her "power of anointing and healing" while talking to her at her grave (communicating with a rotting corpse).  That makes him a necromancer (one who communicates with the dead).  This is strictly prohibited by God and is a great sin.

Deut 18:10-13
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits [evil spirits], or a wizard, or a necromancer [one who communicates with the dead].
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.  KJV

Lev 19:31
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.  KJV

Lev 20:6-7
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I [God] will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.  KJV

    For those who are trapped in, or are being drawn into Benny Hinn style demonics, I offer the below excerpt from some Christians who have come out of that deception and who are exposing Benny Hinn and his band of demoniacs and blasphemers:

"...First we were treated to a video tape on Comedy Central's "God Stuff" of Mrs. Suzanne Hinn [Benny Hinn's wife] shouting that some Christians need "a Holy Ghost enema up their rear ends" and then proceeding to scream and slide across the stage on her belly.

Not be be outdone by his wife, Benny Hinn has recently been seen growling in a weird voice, laying curses on Christians who disagree with him (this is nothing new), knocking children down with "slain in the spirit" while yelling things like "Fire" and "Execute him", and prophesying over Paul Crouch with what I can only describe as a papal air. The new "pope" of Charismania, Benny Hinn, is making sure to have all the leaders of the Third Wave on his interview style program these days such as Kenneth Copeland, Rod Parsley, Joyce Meyers and Rodney Howard-Browne. This is so we and they will be sure to understand that it is really Hinn who is the apostolic father with the greatest amount of the "anointing". ..."

"...Benny was speaking of what happens to him under the "anointing". He stated that his very own "children" are afraid of him when he is under the "anointing". [WBSG Note: small children and animals can detect the presence of evil spirits.] QUESTION: Was anyone afraid of Jesus or the Apostles when they walked under the anointing? Why and What are the children afraid of?

They showed a clip of Benny's meeting, I think in Springfield and I was amazed, his [Hinn's] voice changed to a "growl", he was telling the people to raise their hands to the master he serves, it was so obvious that he was not talking about the Jesus of the Bible. He also cursed all who would raise their hands against his ministry in word or deed. All I can say is WOW, I have not witnessed anything like this since prior to my getting saved and seeing this in "channeling". [WBSG Note:  "Channeling" is where a person willingly allows themselves to be possessed by an evil spirit and then the evil spirit speaks through that demoniac, or writes through the person (called "automatic writing")] His voice sounded like Katherine Kuhlman's, his lips mouthed like hers when she used to speak (I have seen video's of her speak) and his arms and mannerisms were those of Katherine Kuhlman. The auditorium was packed, the people there were falling under some kind of delusion. ..."

Benny Hinn's mentor, Kathryn Kuhlman

"The Benny Hinn program I taped off of TBN was not on the Praise the Lord program, but was Benny's own show. And you'all are right -- he's really been taken over by something ugly. On the show I saw he laid hands on Paul Crouch who fell backwards into the hands of some catchers . . . . Then after Crouch got slain ["slain in the spirit"], [the] singer, Steve Brock went into tongues in a guttural voice and then translated it as some big message from God for the people to take on demonic powers. Throughout the program Hinn's voice was not his normal one. . . . Another guy I taped on TBN today, Casey Treat, carried on about dogs having puppies, cats having kittens, and God having gods. Then he said that he got into trouble some years ago making that statement and that he was quoted in some book. ..." — "Benny Hinn - A 'New' Dark 'Anointing'" by Sandy Simpson.  Deception In The Church.  Source

    And poor deluded and beguiled Christians support Benny Hinn man financially and they revere that old false preacher as though he is like some kind of a go-to guy for God, or something.  What a shame!  Had they only read the Scriptures they would not honor him so:

Lev 20:27
27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit [communicates with an evil spirit], or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.  KJV

    So, if God says that your preacher is worthy only of death—what the heck would a decent Christian be doing in that congregation?  The answer is that those in his congregation, and in congregations like it, are not true Christians, they are the New Age neo-Christians, the false Christians, the antichristians.

    And it isn't Benny Hinn's deceased mentor that he is chit-chatting with graveside, it is a demon impersonating Kathryn Kuhlman.  Same thing to a lesser degree with these "tongues" talkers, "slain in the spirit," "holy laughter," etc., beguiled souls.  They are entertaining familiar (evil) spirits who temporally take control of them and their motor skills; i.e., they possess them.

    So just be careful, and don't get drawn into unhealthy so-called "spirituality" practices.  What happens is that these false teachers all try to outdo each other, claiming more and more powerful "signs and wonders."  These "preachers" love to stand on the stage claiming to have the very Spirit of God at their fingertips and that they can apply it to whomever they please.  These men (and women) are deluded; "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Tim 3:13).  And satan gives them what they want, satan deceives them.  They want to feel something overwhelming?  Satan gives it to them.  Pretty soon they are so far from God and sound doctrine that God gives them up to their own spiritual filthiness, because they should have known better.  Be careful that you aren't drawn into any of this.

    And when someone is trying to amaze you with spectacular side-show miracle sessions remember the below Scripture and how that God isn't a show-off, His is quiet and gentle in His power.  And so too would any that He gifted be the same in their gift.

    And there is God found, in the "still small voice." 

    The problem with these groups is that they deceive people.  And the people, being purposely kept Biblically illiterate and/or deceived by false doctrine, confuse any "supernatural feeling" as being from the Holy Spirit, when in reality many times they have unwittingly opened themselves up to contact from the other side, the bad side, the evil spirit side. 

    Don't be impressed by bravado, keep towards the humble, the simple, the pure.  Your safeguard is the holy Bible, check all doctrine with the Bible.  Prove every Bible teacher and preacher with the Scriptures.
 

British Israelism, Christian Identify 

    Regarding British Israelism, Christian Identify, the Ten Tribes teaching, Lost Israel, or whatever else it has been called:  Yes, it is true.  However, it has been corrupted by many false teachers.  As you noticed that the one preacher by you was calling the Khazars (Ashkenazi Jews) scattered Israel.  Which is absolutely incorrect. 

    Also, the teaching, as you noticed, has been adopted by rabid Racists who discredit it by associating themselves with it. 

    My advice to you would be to withhold from trying to teach it until you are sure that your ducks are in a row and that you know your topic well enough to stand up to challenges.  In other words, be careful that you don't bite off too much too soon and get yourself into a position where, though you are right, you will look wrong because you can't document your statements. 

    First we crawl, then walk, then we run; in that order.
 

 Miscegenation (race mixing)

    Oh, and what hot topic this is in the modern churches. 

    I do not have the time presently to write a whole teaching here about it.  And it isn't a subject that can just be covered by a short teaching—there are so many facets to it.  And not understanding certain true teachings it is not possible to understand the Scriptural stance on interracial marriage.  I am not ducking your question by any means. 

    Perhaps just a few statements will allow you to see the difficulty in teaching this subject in a light manner: 

    Also, none of this has to do with salvation.  Since Jesus Christ was sacrificed all people who believe upon Him are accounted as Israel, spiritually.  And they are saved and children of God in good standing.  However, in the book of Revelation (chapter 7) we see that even in the Tribulation right before the end of this world there is still a physical pure seed of Israel on the Earth.  It is these true Israel people that shall be His servants in the endtimes, for they born for it. 

    Also, it is difficult for us to know who is and who isn't pure true Israel in the flesh, but God knows, which is how he can call them out in Revelation chapter 7 (the 144,000).  These 144,000 were Divinely set aside by arranged (from Heaven) marriages that we knew nothing of. 

    As you can see, this would be such a shocking thing to try to teach the modern day Bible-lite churches today. 

    So why bother, it doesn't apply to many of them, it certainly isn't a salvation issue, and if they don't have a stake in it (if they themselves aren't true Israel) then they will reject the teaching as "racist" or whatnot.  So, the remnant should just travel below the surface.

    The only ones who would accept the teaching are today's so-called "Jews" who are trying to be impostors to it.

    You asked:

"What is your background and how did you come to your understanding of the House of Israel?"

    I am of the stock of Israel, Irish/German by ancestry, and I first learned of the lost tribes of Israel teaching from pastor Murray of the Shepherds Chapel.  Since then I have investigated it more fully through the works of E. Raymond Capt, numerous historians, Orientlogists, Assyriologists, and not least of all, the Bible.  "Lost" Israel left a paper trail as she migrated through the lands North and West into Europe, and that paper trail is written in stone in the monuments, gravesites, ceremonial sites, place-names, river-names, people-names, and even in the accounts of the Babylonian and Assyrian kings who kept a painstaking list of all the peoples that they conquered, captured, and relocated, giving both their old people-names and their new names, and engraving it all on stone cylinders and clay tablets, and even on a rock-cut mountainside in one case, which we have recovered and deciphered, most of which now reside in the British Museum for all to see. 

    The subject really has so very much irrefutable solid evidence surrounding it.  The only reason that the subject is rejected by many is because the Judaics have attacked it and falsely labeled it "Racist" and odd enough, "AntiSemitic."  They attacked it because it is not only the evidence that the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples are true Israel, but is also the damning evidence that they are not.  It is terrible proof that those calling themselves "Jews" today are only so-called "Jews," and that they are not of true Israel (nor Judah).  That is the only reason that there is any controversy on the Christian Identity / British Israelism / Lost Tribes of Israel teaching.

    Sadly, many (most) well meaning Anglo-Saxon preachers also deny true-Israel "for fear of the Jews" (John 7:13, 19:38, 20:19, etc.).  And for the praise of men, $$$, and a pat on the back from the antichrists, they sell out the true heritage of God's chosen people Israel to a bunch of Turko-Mongoloid Khazars who've got nary a drop of Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob's blood running through their views.

    But the Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians certainly have no problem with the Anglo-Saxons being the remnant of true Israel and Judah, to them it is irrelevant.  The only ones stirring the pot of doubt and encouraging marginal Christian ministers to deny who true Israel is are the ones who have the most to loose by the truth coming out; that is to say those today "which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie" (Rev 3:9b).

    In closing. You said:

"Have you considered making part of your site for paid memberships only? I imagine that your [students] might be glad to support something like that."

     But then those who couldn't afford it wouldn't be able to come.  And newer students wouldn't get involved right away, not willing to pay subscription fees to something they don't know about, so they would be left on the outside looking in.  No, I can't do that.  All studies on this Website are free, and we have some readers here who utilize the donate box on our Homepage to help support the work and to offer their thanks, and we trust God for the support that we need.  We have gotten by since 1998 like that.  Thanks for the concern, though.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Hello, thank you for the kind words. 

    We are not told what the mark of Cain was, but it was something that people were able to see.  For, "And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him", and those who disobeyed what the mark prohibited were punished, "Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold"; thus, for them to be punished they would have had to make a choice to disobey; therefore, they had to be able to discern this mark on Cain:

    Apparently this mark of Cain was transferred down through his race, for we see Cain's great, great, great, grandson Lamech also boasting of the same such protection:

Gen 4:23-24
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.  KJV

    The mark has absolutely nothing to do with the Black race.  Nor did Ham's sin have anything at all to do with Black people.  Some teach, wrongly, that the Black race got their Black skin as part of the curse that Noah called upon the offspring of Ham (Canaan).

Gen 9:24-26
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.  KJV

    However, many of those teachers who teach that the Blacks are the result of the above curse would be horrified to know that the false teaching originated from the Jewish Talmud!  The Talmud, which according to the most revered sages and rabbis in Judaism outweighs the Old Testament where the two texts disagree, is the most spiritually and morally vile "holy book" on the whole of planet Earth; which, among other sins condones child sacrifice to the false god Molech, legalizes (Homosexual as well as Heterosexual) pedophilia, and degrades Jesus Christ and Mother Mary with the most perverted of terms (saying for instance that Mary was a whore who "had sex with many men," and that Jesus is currently consigned to an eternity in hell immersed in boiling semen, and in other places the  pit of Jesus' destiny is full of excrement).

    The Talmud is a deluded book for a deluded religion that could only be accepted by cursed of God people.  "Oh, but Nick, that sounds 'AntiSemitic'."  I really couldn't give a damn what it sounds like to this corrupt generation—it is the truth—the absolute 100% truth.  Here, learn for yourself of Judaism's highest holy book: THE JEWISH RELIGION Its Influence Today (Formerly Titled THE PLOT AGAINST CHRISTIANITY)

    Yet, equally cursed of God wolves in sheep's clothing like "Christian-Zionist" pastor John Hagee (Evangelical Pastor; Founder, Christians United for Israel) uplift the "Jews" as the "chosen of God people."  What an absolute "turning of things upside down" (Isa 29:16a)!

News flash for so-called 'Judeo'-Christians:

    God's chosen people would not blaspheme His only begotten Son daily in their synagogues; God's chosen people would not take unto themselves a book (Talmud) which is almost an exact opposite of everything written in God's Holy Bible—both Old and New Testaments—and place its authority over the authority of the written Word of God.  These are cursed rejected of God people whose end follows swiftly after them.

Matt 27:24-25
24 When [Pontius] Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just [innocent] person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His [Jesus'] blood be on us, and on our children.  KJV

    And it is high time that turncoat so-called Christian preachers stop pimping for God's mortal enemies.  There is a holy day of God's reckoning coming, notwithstanding today's evil anti-God Political Correctness purges.  Pick a side, Christian, and then get squarely on it; lest you be judged along with God's great enemies whom you support and enable through your silence in the face of their evil.  Yes, you are accountable for giving tacit consent to moral vileness and spiritual lewdness—when you refuse to stand up and speak out against it, much less support it by virtually worshipping the spiritual descendants of Christ's murderers—as their Talmud proudly lays claim to His execution:

Hos 6:9
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.  KJV

    And isn't it odd that Jewish social activists pretend to be the friends of the Black cause when secretly they attribute the very existence of the Black race to a curse of God?  Like we have said here at WBSG numerous times, the Judaics are only using the Blacks, they are using the Blacks against the Whites to foment racial strife and societal chaos from which they hope to raise from the ashes of destruction their "Kingdom of the Jews," a world-wide kingdom wherein all non-Jews are slaves or dead.  And they couldn't care less about the Black plight.  Indeed, they caused most of it.  Documentation:

NOTE: We have on our Website an excellent video presentation of the Black Professor, Tony Martin, who explains that the Black slavery experience was at the hands of the Jews.  Also in that video Talmud master (but one who condemns the book) Michael Hoffman, gives the pertinent Talmud citations for many of the above points (But Mr. Hoffman missed the one about Jesus being in boiling semen, and only mentions were the Talmud also says that Jesus is boiling in excrement [human waste]).  That video is here:  The Judaic Role in the Black Slave Trade (We have backed-up this video, as we back-up all other high impact videos and audios, in the event that Jewish pressure groups (the Sayanim, ACLU, ADL, etc.) have it removed, as so often happens when Jewish crimes are disclosed.  Let us know if the link ever goes dead and we will place the copy on our own servers.  Being a religious not-for-profit organization we have far greater latitude in presenting copywritten materials.  And we can publish things that, say, Google Video and YouTube cannot.  But the bandwidth to support these large videos gets expensive, so we link to other copies from other servers where possible.)

    Many of things that Christ condemned the Jews for were things that today we can read of in the Jewish Talmud observed as contemporary Jewish law; such as the Pharisees "hand-washing ritual" (Mark 7:3), and the many things that Jesus called the "tradition of men" which negated the "commandment of God".

Mark 7:6-9
6 He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition [known today as Talmudic Judaism].  KJV

    You rightly point out that the Black race (along with all other races) were created on the Sixth Day by God for His own good pleasure.

    Blacks are not cursed of God, but they have been deluded and manipulated by the International Judaics; and they are today for the most part a corrosive element in Western society because of that manipulation.  They were never allowed to fully assimilate into traditional White America and Europe, just like the Hispanics are being kept separate and hindered in their assimilation into American society.  This was all planned by the you-know-whos.  And many of the decent Blacks are victims themselves of the bad ones, which can be seen in what is called today "Black-on-Black crime."

    Regarding Jacob's Ladder: no, I do not feel that it specifically symbolizes Christ. 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

God bless the study of His Word; in Jesus Christ's Precious and powerful name!
Nick Goggin

Hello [Xxxxx], welcome aboard.  How nice that the Lord stooped down to pick you up, huh?  How blessed am I that He picked me up! 

    I popped over to the Website of your new church and looked around a bit; just a cursory glance, mind you.  Their statement of faith (their "about us" page) seems solid and I don't see anything that jumps right out as being bad.  Of course I do not know their every stand on every Biblical matter.  Nor do I set myself up as the possessor of all knowledge and a judger of churches.  I just check what they say by what the Bible says.  Simple formula, really.  And we all can (and should) do that.  You should also check me out with the Bible; what if I make a mistake—how will you know—if you aren't reading along?  Though, I do make a habit of posting the Scriptures that I speak on, so that the reader can easily check my reasoning and teaching out by the perfect written Word of God, His Bible.  And if you read the verses yourself asking the Holy Spirit to confirm truths and dispel errors for you, you should do wonderfully.  But you shall never attain perfection.  The only perfect One they killed on a cross.  Go figure. 

    So, whether there is perchance a false (or if not intentional, a mistaken) teaching or two, your new church still seems to be a sincere place to get Baptized at.  And who knows, they might well be an excellent ministry.  And I strongly feel that it is good for Christians, especially newer Christians, to fellowship with other Christians.  And church is a good place to meet them.  And then the "old salt" Christians ought to attend services so as to bolster the new sheep;  "freely ye have received, freely give." (Matt 10:8b).  So many Christians take from Christianity but never give back.

    We have a Bible study on Baptism that you might enjoy to read, it will cover many things about Baptism that I am not going to be going into here (including the "big debate" over which name/names to Baptize in); it can found here: The Christian Baptism.

    And I would encourage you to respect your new church and to not embarrass the pastors by pointing out their every little error.  Most ministers simply teach what they have been taught.  So go easy on them and don't wear out your welcome (no congregation likes "hot-shot new guys" coming in trying to change everything).  Once you are established then you can correct where you see need, in love, and preferably privately.  (Never publicly correct a priest or pastor in front of his congregation UNLESS you are absolutely sure that he is KNOWINGLY and WILLINGLY a FALSE TEACHER.)  And then you had better have all your documentation in order, for you shall be challenged.  And who knows, It may just be that he is a good preacher otherwise who has simply learned something wrong from someone he trusted as a teacher.  It happens, it happens all the time.  And if we threw out every pastor that made an honest mistake or simple error there wouldn't be even one pastor left standing.  And why destroy him for an honest error?  You're glad that you weren't publicly shamed every time you made a mistake in good faith.  Do unto others.... 

    So, go there with a sincere heart, and as long as they do not blaspheme or teach gross and dangerous error, then you can attend and get something positive out of it.  Most of all you will feel that you are giving something back to the Lord, if even only your time in respect to setting aside your busy life for a moment.  And yes, you must get Baptized—especially because the Holy Spirit has laid it on your heart to do so now.  Do not neglect to do that.  Jesus wasn't play-commanding when He ordered:

    You asked a few questions.  May I answer them briefly for time's sake? 

    You asked:

    No, unfortunately I do not.  The original was too superficial so I pulled it down.  Then I began rewriting it, and stopped.  It lays unfinished on my computer like so many other works.  One day I just pick them up a finish them and unceremoniously post them.  There is no method to my madness, I don't plan when a study is begun nor when it is finished.  If you have a specific question I would be glad to answer it.  (By the way, that's the most asked-for Bible study that we have.)

    You asked: 

"I love music, especially today’s Grateful Dead type “jam bands”. How do you think The Lord feels about music? Is music offensive to God, even if it isn’t satanic like much music is today; or could The Lord possibly “enjoy” music, even if it doesn’t specifically praise him? I do understand that at the typical “rock concert” the crowd is usually guilty of the sin of idolatry when they “worship” the band, and that this is breaking a very important commandment. At concerts I’ve recently attended, I’ve prayed and told God that I love him more than anything or any music, and I’ve asked for his forgiveness if I’ve sinned against him. I suppose that with most sins, it’s easy to tell whether or not you’re in the right or wrong, but with music I have a hard time. Your opinion and any insight would be very much appreciated."

    You're fine.  He knows that you would never support a song that blasphemed Him.  He really isn't all that interested in our little recreations, unless of course they are evil or sinful.  Enjoy, everybody needs a break; we can't Bible study every waking moment, we all need to get away and decompress.  There is nothing wrong with it.  Although, as you state, many songs speak of sinful topics.  But we Christians can't live under a rock in hiding from the world and then expect to be of any value to an unsaved person who just might exactly need to talk to someone who they can identify with about Jesus Christ.

John 17:15-24 [Jesus praying for us to the Father]
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.  KJV

    Powerful, Isn't it?  And it makes me pity the poor souls who have been deluded into thinking that the Bible is not the Inspired Word of Almighty God; for they can then find no comfort in the above Scripture, or any other recorded promise or glory of God for that matter.  Sorry souls, tossed to and fro, having no purpose nor hope of anything more than their todays.  Now, Christians often ask other Christians to pray for them; and that is fine and that is good.  But here in the above Scripture we have Jesus Christ praying directly for us.  Can there be any greater prayer beloved in God's ear, or one that He would grant more?

    Anyway, as in all things and recreations, carry yourself like a Jesus Christ loving servant of Almighty God.  But don't act like a "religious nut" that nobody would want to be like, or you might scare away a potential convert for a while.  You represent Christ when you publicly declare yourself to be a Christian, so don't act in a manner that would bring discredit upon His name.  Though, I hasten to add, none of us is perfect.  Just keep trying, and once fallen down, get back up and just keep trying, and having fallen back down again, get back up and just keep trying...  And when you are perfect, try again, because you were only fooling yourself in thinking that you finally made it to perfection.  My point is that God understands our weaknesses and our failures—and oh how we all disappoint Him at times—but He is a rewarder of earnest diligence, a God more moved by sincere intentions than by great accomplishment.

Thank you, [Xxxxxxx].  I have archived that article.  And I congratulate you for seeing through the rhetoric and observing that even the Iranian President is on-board with the laying of the foundation for the One-World Religion of antichrist, a religion without Jesus Christ and one that shall exalt a false god to the throne in Jerusalem to worship as God, very soon in our future.  All events on this Earth now are only preparatory for the magnificent and evil day when satan, for a time, becomes the god of this world.  All conspiracies, corrupted religions, and the very corruption of Christianity itself lead to here—it is the "why" behind all things incomprehendable:

    And you are also correct in that the God of Christianity is not the same God as the god of Islam or Judaism; as the Christian's God—the only true God—had a Son named Jesus Christ to whom all the power of the Father was delivered (Matt 28:18), and whom died and resurrected so that His faithful children whom believed upon Him could be forgiven and thus attain eternal life.  Neither the Jews nor the Muslims acknowledge this great and necessary truth and thus are not to attain eternal life with God, no matter how "pious" they pretend or seem to be.

    Being "nice" doesn't get you into Heaven; believing upon Jesus Christ is now, since he was once offered, the only door to Heaven.  "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV" (John 14:6).  Period.  And to tell a Jew or a Muslim that they are not going to Heaven is not "Hate Speech," it is the greatest of love; for, who knows if they will fear and investigate and perchance come to the faith in Jesus Christ that saves?

    But on the other hand, allowing them to believe that there "are many paths" to God—and allowing them to believe that belief upon Jesus Christ is irrelevant to salvation—is to enable their final utter destruction before God, the Lamb, and all the holy angels of Heaven.  And it makes one guilty in part for that destroyed soul.

    That is a hard truth that the greatest majority of today's lukewarm, saltless, Christ-betraying preachers dare not utter for Political Correctness' sake, get-along-with-everybody-itus, and to present a false illusion of piety, charity, and godliness.  "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim 3:5). 

    These false prophets, these grievous wolves, these false teachers, shall be rewarded with the reward of those who willingly remained damned because they weren't taught the hard truths, nor accepted them when a brave few dared to speak them with documentation.  And it is this that constitutes my greatest objection to modern-day play-clergy and dead churches.  They certainly aren't working for Jesus Christ and God hardly more than lip service and false-faith.  God is not fooled.

    I would rather speak the hard Biblically-documented truths and teach to perhaps only a small few—and thereby gain contention from "mainstream" Christianity—than to teach/preach sweet lies and watered down truth-less sermons to thousands of adoring Biblically-illiterate spiritual zombies and faith-loafers.

    May I close this with some of the last words of the faithful apostle Paul regarding the state of the endtime church?  I will also remind you that some pseudo-Christians (false Christians) actually have allowed the Judaics to convince them that apostle Paul "was not a real and true Apostle of Jesus Christ," and that he was rather "a false preacher" and that his Epistles should be cut out of the Bible!  Shame on any so-called Christian who has allowed his mind and spirit to be so tragically perverted:

    Jesus Christ's apostle, the apostle Paul, by inspiration, recorded by Luke, speaks of his life's work for our Lord:

Acts 20:16-38
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them,

Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.  KJV

    Does that sound like a "false apostle" to you?  And based upon that false charge are we to throw out 2/3rds of the New Testament which was delivered by God through this apostle Paul?  Then why do some "Christians" call Paul a fake?  They do it because they are not Christians, they are dead souls pretending.  The Holy Spirit would not allow them to believe a lie like that, therefore, they have not the Holy Spirit.  And they need to fear and tremble; for, if they can be so easily deceived against Jesus Christ's apostle Paul, how easy shall they be deceived into worshipping satan's antichrist (satan as the antichrist)?

    The same apostle Paul whom these above deny, writing in an Epistle which they would have to be removed from God's holy Bible, spoke warning to their admonition:

Phil 2:11-13
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.  KJV

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Hello.  Thank you for the kind words.  The "tongues" part is two-fold.  Even today there have been reports of missionaries suddenly acquiring a new language skill.  I had a friend who told me that years ago he knew a guy who wanted to become a missionary in some Latin country, but the fellow only spoke English.  So he took like one or two classes in a learning-Spanish-class.  He quit because the language came to him suddenly.  That would be a fulfillment of the above Scripture. 

    But there is another type of tongues that will be present in the endtimes, which was also present in the time of the Apostles.  (And I have never heard anyone claiming to have heard it today.)  Below is that gift:

    The above "tongues" is that when a servant of God speaks in his own one language, the people hearing him hear him in their own language.  In other words; say that I speak a sentence in English, and you hear it in Japanese, and another standing next to you hears it in Spanish, and another person hears it in Greek, etc., because these are their individual native tongues.  But you all heard the same words from my mouth at the same time.  This is the power of the Holy Spirit effecting the speech and hearing of the people.  I feel that this will happen again at the endtime.  Apostle Peter, who spoke the above Scripture, then went on to explain to the people what this was:

    Peter was referring to the Old Testament prophecy which was partially being fulfilled right before their eyes:

    As you must know, this false "talking in tongues" that is done in many churches today is just a fraud.  And worse, it is evil spirits masquerading and deceiving the people. 

    The tongues from God are understood, they are not the babble that you hear certain churchmen speaking.  God is not the author of confusion.    Simple formula.  If it doesn't make sense, it isn't from God.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Nick Goggin

Hello [Xxxxxx].  I got the book that you sent a couple of days ago and I have looked through it and read the parts that focused on Scripture. 

    First I would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to send me that book.  And please understand that any and all that I will be writing in the below is written to the reader generally, and not necessarily to you, [Xxxxxxx].  That is the manner in which I write all answers on this Website, as they are for all, not necessarily just the person asking the particular question.  So if I write something that you object to or that does not apply to you please don't say to yourself "this guy really has me figured wrong."  Okay?

    I now owe you my opinion on the book.  (And I scanned a couple of pages and present them below for those reading along with us who have not seen the book.  Also, the book itself is: Why Not Women?  A Fresh Look on Women in Missions, Ministry, and Leadership by Loren Cunningham, David Joel Hamilton, and Janice Rogers.)

    I found that the author came to the subject with preconceived notions and then went about to make his case.  However, the way that he did it was shameful.  He (Hamilton) twisted every pertinent Scripture (of those that I checked on),

he says "this word really means that word,"

he arbitrarily jumps from one Bible version to the next depending on which version uses a word that he can seize upon the best,

he also uses the unreliable Septuagint (also called the LXX), and makes the common mistake of thinking that the Apostles and the early church used the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint),

not to mention that he quotes as authoritative philosophers and other unreligious writers of old in his attempts to change what the Scriptures clearly state.

    After seeing his methods to skew every Scripture that places the woman under the man, and they are many, to agree with this fellow would mean that we couldn't trust any statement in the Bible—everything would be open to arbitrary revision.  God forbid! 

    And I found his comparison of man-woman/Jesus-God and the mention of semen as regenerative to be particularly irreverent (see page 163 reproduced below).  God did not make Jesus, and certainly semen was not involved; God was Jesus, or rather, Jesus was God.  With us this is not so, woman never was man and man never was woman.  We are siblings, God is Creator.  He did not create Jesus, He came to this world as Jesus.  (See our: The Holy Spirit & The Holy Trinity)

Example for other readers here of this/these man's/women's work :

Source: Why Not Women?  A Fresh Look on Women in Missions, Ministry, and Leadership by Loren Cunningham, David Joel Hamilton, and Janice Rogers.  Chapter twelve, "The Question of Headship."  ISBN#: 1-57658-183-7.  ppg. 162-164.

The plain and simple verse that he (Hamilton) is trying to alter in his below three pages is:

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.  KJV

    The above author's closing arguments on the last page above where he states, "if kephale could be either 'ruler' or 'life source'..." is flawed; for, the word does not mean "life source" as he has craftily tried to interject.  Therefore his choice #2 above is just his own idea.  His choice #1 is closest to the truth.  Below is the Scripture in question once again, and below it is the Strong's definition for kephale/head:

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head [kephale] of every man is Christ; and the head [kephale] of the woman is the man; and the head [kephale] of Christ is God.  KJV

head: Greek word # 2776  kephale (kef-al-ay'); from the primary kapto (in the sense of seizing); the head (as the part most readily taken hold of), literally or figuratively:  KJV - head. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    Head (kephale) as it is used in our above Scripture clearly means "head" as in prominent part, upper most, that which leads the body.  And from our above Strong's definition it is clear that the idea of "source/origin," as that book states, is in no way implied.  If I may explain further: "head" as defined above is like taking grasp of a horses head and leading the entire beast, it is the part that which the rest follows.  It is not the father-figure, life-giver, nor the seed which blossoms into a thing, as the above book would seem to imply.

    Some other uses for the same above Greek word kephale should give you a better feel for the meaning of the word:

Eph 5:22-23
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For [because, this is the reason:] the husband is the head [kephale] of the wife, even as Christ is the head [kephale] of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  KJV

Matt 21:42
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head [kephale] of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?  KJV

That stone which became the head of the corner was Jesus Christ:

Acts 4:10-12
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head [kephale] of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.   KJV

    In the above (last) Scripture we see that Jesus Christ is the stone which has become the  "head [kephale] of the corner".  What does that mean?  The cornerstone is the key stone on top of a pyramid, it is the chief stone without which there would be no completed structure.  And the building spoken of in the verse is the church, but it was speaking symbolically, for the church was not a building, back then there were no church buildings; the church was the gathered Christians. 

    Before Christianity, the physical stone Temple was the "church" or the religious gathering, and therein was the presence of God (in the Holy of Holies room).  But now, since Christ was sacrificed the church is the Christians in it, it is not a building.  The body of Christ, which is the church, is the group of individual Christians, and therein (within each Christian) is the presence of God, manifested as the the Holy Spirit (Christ called that Holy Spirit: The Comforter (John 14:26).  That was one of the fulfillments which Jesus Christ brought with the New Covenant of God (outlined in the New Testament).  And this "head [kephale]" leads the church, He is the "top boss" of the church, the head cornerstone.  It is like when Christ said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15:5a); what Christ mean was that He was the trunk and we are the branches that spring out from that main shaft.  Without the trunk the branches cannot exist, and without the chief cornerstone a building is incomplete.  So too with the church, we are the body of Christ, that is to say we are the body of believers, "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular" (1 Cor 12:27), and Jesus is the head of the church.  It is even named after Him (Christianity, Christian).

Eph 1:22-23
22 And [God] hath put all things under his [Jesus's] feet, and gave him [Jesus] to be the head [kephale] over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.  KJV

    In other words, Christ Jesus is the head (leader) of the church.  The writer of that chapter of the above book twisted this understanding to say, errantly, that as woman came from man (Adam & Eve) so too came man from Jesus Christ.  But that is not at all what our Scripture is saying.  The author is trying to say that the Scripture is saying that man was the "source/origin" of the woman, and that Jesus was the "source/origin" of the man.  Our target Scripture again:

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.  KJV

    Our best witness that the author of that book erred is found in the third comparison in that Scripture, that being where it says, "the head of Christ is God."  And here is the smoking gun, for God did not create Jesus, Jesus was not created, He was: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (Rev 1:8).  And later in this same chapter it is brought out even more clearly that this is Jesus by the inclusion of the phrase "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore" (Rev 1:18a).

Rev 1:17-19
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;  KJV

    In other words, God did not create Jesus, God was Jesus, or rather Jesus was God in the flesh; "I and my Father are one." (Jesus Christ - John 10:30).  (See also our: The Holy Spirit & The Holy Trinity for a better understanding of the nature of God)  So it would constitute a direct contradiction to say that the relationship in that Scripture of woman to man, man to Christ, and Christ to God are speaking in the sense of, as the author states: "source/origin."  But rather is speaking of authority, headship, hierarchy.  Man is over the woman, Christ is over the man, and God in Heaven is over Jesus on the Earth (because Jesus was God in the flesh; hence, lesser than God when He is in Heaven as Spirit not flesh: "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." [Heb 2:9]).

    Observe again our target verse:

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.  KJV

     The author goes to these great lengths to try to skew this Scripture because it is his intent to try to say that man does not have inherent authority over the woman.  So he tries to make it look like God was saying in this verse that man is the origin of the woman.  This is also absurd if he would have known that while Eve was indeed taken from Adam, the men and women of the sixth day creation (Genesis chapter one) were created at the very same time by God "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Gen 1:27).  That single verse alone blows the author's "source/origin" argument out of the water; for woman was not made from man, man was not the "source/origin" of woman, God was.  Only in Adam's family was his woman (Eve) taken from him; but with all the other peoples (races, tribes, nations) this was not so, they were all created male and female by God independently at the same time.  Eve was the only person who came from inside a man.  (A knowledge that there were two Creation events in the book of Genesis will help to avoid the error that the author of that book made.  See our: Mankind; two separate 'creation events')

    Nevertheless, to make his case he is willing to corrupt Scripture and confuse meanings.  That is shameful.  Throughout the book this (these) author(s) are pushing New Age doctrine aimed at modern day Feminist-minded uppity women whose reward shall follow them. 

    God placed man over woman—period.  Man leads, woman follows—period.  Does not nature even tell us so?  God set up a very clear hierarchy of authority for the family:

Christ
over all

Husband
over
Wife
both over
children

    Observe:

Col 3:18-20
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.  KJV

    Likewise we could illustrate our target verse,

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.  KJV

as such:

God in Heaven
over all

Christ
over
Man
both over
Woman

    And today, satan through his "chosen people" minions have corrupted all the above (and so very much more) by and through their media saturation and their social movements; so that today you have women rebelling against husbands, children rebelling against parents, and mankind rebelling against God, in absolute direct reversal of the above inspired-by-God Scripture.  Can anything be more clear?  And, to their own ultimate destruction, it seems that many of the neo-Christian women of today "love to have it so"

Jer 5:31
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?  KJV

    Now, women can be evangelical (spreading the word to the unsaved), they can teach children's Bible study classes, they can lead other women in Bible study; but they are not to be over the man, they are not to lead churches, they do not belong at the pulpit teaching men.  There is a reason for this.  When women lead men in a society, chaos follows, and it is a sign of sick and dying society, just as today's society is in the Western world is nigh unto spiritual and social death. 

    I know that many women know more about God's Word than do many men.  And that women make better Bible students because they listen intently.  But the answer is not for a woman to put on a man's clothes, the answer is for those Biblically illiterate men to find a good strong male preacher/teacher in the Word and learn from him, whereby they can then lead their own women and children.  And when there are no more good men of God then God will raise up women, to the men's shame.  But this is only temporary and it is not a good thing.  It is a sign of the end of those peoples.

    Did not Deborah even in the Old Testament mock Barak and say to his shame:  "I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." (Judg 4:9a).  Obviously, a woman taking a leading role was not the natural order of things, as Deborah speaks of this with disdain ("shall not be for thine honour" but "a woman").

    And regarding this incident: many pro-Feminist preachers (including, sadly, my good pastor from Arkansas) point to this event and say that "Deborah led the men."  Some even call her a preacher!  She wasn't a preacher, no where does it say that she was a priest; she was a civil governmental judge (Jud 4:4), and in that capacity she prophesied the will of God.  (A prophet merely speaks the words of God; that is what "to prophecy" means; that is the absolute stripped-down definition of a prophet: one who speaks God's words; not necessarily preaching or predicting the future, though some prophets do these things in relation to speaking the words of God.)

    And furthermore, Deborah absolutely did not lead the men.  And it is high time to straiten out some people's impression of this event and Scripture, and once and for all lay it to rest.  Observe:

    Clearly Barak was leading the men, and Deborah was tagging along (for moral support).  The reason that Barak wanted Deborah to come with him was because she had the word of the Lord with her, she was a judge of Israel who prophesied the words of the Lord.  It was her that had to remind Barak earlier: "and [Deborah] said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?".  Deborah didn't yield a sword, nor did she pursue in the battle, she was merely speaking the words of God, which is why she was called a prophetess ("And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time." [Judg 4:4]).  And notice that even with being a judge and a prophetess she was still under the authority of and was accounted as a wife of her husband.  God did not disrupt the order of the family nor the authority of the husband, even when He had to use a woman because that there were no good men left in Israel.

    In the endtimes, women also shall prophesy, that is to say that they shall speak specific words for the Lord; because once again, in the endtime there shall be few good men of God left in the Earth.  Oh, how few that there be even today!

Joel 2:28-32
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.  KJV

    But that is not to say that women will be leading churches, leading men, and preaching sermons at the pulpit.  Listen, one part of God's Bible can never contradict another part, and if one "finds a contradiction" then he/she must reexamine the Scriptures to find out where they went wrong in their own interpretations; not charge God with error and contradiction, and most certainly not to change what God meant to be saying.  A little further below we will post numerous Scriptures that show that a woman is subservient to her husband, not a joint-leader, not a "partner," not 50/50; she is a "help meet" not a co-captain.  He is over her as Christ is over the church ("For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church" [Eph 5:23a]), and no more can she be more than he than he could be more than Christ.  Period.  Perhaps you feel called to prophesy and are simply mistaking it as a calling to preach and lead churches?

    And by the way, in our Deborah situation where it says, "for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman," it wasn't speaking of into Deborah's hand, but rather into another woman's hand, Jael, the wife of a Kenite (sons of the Cain from the Garden of Eden) who was most likely a Kenite herself:

Judg 4:17-22
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 And, behold, as Barak [not Deborah!] pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.  KJV

    So, if women want to glory over the above incident and how that a woman took decisive action, then let all the women married to Kenites glory.

    Back to the book... 

    The author also uses the despicable Jewish Babylonian Talmud, Judaism's highest holy book trumping even the Old Testament according to the rabbis, to "prove" many of his arguments. 

    To tell you the truth, I suspect Jewish influence on this book.  For, the author does with the New Testament Scripture exactly what the Jews did with the Old Testament when they made their Talmud; that is to say, he corrupted it and made "rabbinic arguments" that make light, darkness; up, down; and right, wrong.  There are three co-authors of this book, but the main Scriptures are tackled by a fellow named David Joel Hamilton; not many non-Jews name their children David Joel, two prominent Hebrew Old Testament names; in other words it is a very Jewish name.  And going by all of his reverent references to Judaism and the Talmud, and the ease at which he corrupts the Christian's New Testament I cannot but suspect Jewish treachery behind this book.

    Nevertheless, Jew or non-Jew, I suspect that he is in trouble with the Lord; for what he did was a form of the violation of the below dire warning:

Rev 22:18-20
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.  KJV

     Now, you madam can do as you please, perchance you feel led of God to preach?  Well, pray on it and follow His lead, but I trust that it won't lead you to a pulpit.  But that's between you and God.  Nevertheless, as for me I shall never learn at the feet of a woman, nor shall I be preached to by a female so-called pastoress, priestess, deaconess, etc.  It is not natural.  Nor will a woman dominate me in my house; if she wants to wear the pants in the family then she needn't even bother to waste either of our time trying to cross my threshold.  I'd rather die alone than to spend my life shackled to some perversion-of-nature Feminist-minded, God-disobeying, order-subverting, doesn't-know-her-place woman.  And as you can imagine, this puts me at odds with most of today's so-called "modern women."  So be it.  I'll do it God's way or no way.  The charms of a woman are not enough to draw me away from God nor His ways which He commanded us to follow and obey.  God wasn't making suggestions, He was giving commands.  And just because the world is corrupt doesn't mean that Christians need to join in on that corruption.  "Everybody's doing it" is not a valid excuse.  Never.  But rather, saved Christians need to be asking themselves: "What Saith the Lord on the matter?"  Then obey.

Deut 22:5
5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.  KJV

    God wasn't talking about trousers and dresses in the above, He was speaking about roles, gender roles in a wide variety of applications.  And what, has the church gone mad and forgotten:

Gen 3:16
16 Unto the woman he [God] said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  KJV

    That sanction upon women was never lifted, and all the Scripture-corrupting in the world won't make it go away.  The Holy Spirit-inspired writers of the New Testament books surely hadn't forgotten the Garden of Eden, nor did they lift woman up from under the authority of the man:

1 Tim 2:11-14
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.  KJV

    The New Testament clearly shows that woman is to be led by man and not the other way around, in church, in the home, and in society:

1 Cor 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.  KJV

1 Cor 14:33-35
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.  KJV

Eph 5:20-25
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  KJV

Col 3:18-20
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.  KJV

Titus 2:3-5
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. KJV

1 Peter 3:1-6
3 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord [Gen 18:12]: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.  KJV

    Let all the Feminist-minded neo-Christians of today chew on that last verse above (both male and female; there are male Feminists too, just like there are non-Jewish Zionists).

    If women want to be men, who shall then be the women, men?  Well, you almost have that to be the case nowadays with all these half-a-sissy liberal men running around.  And most younger women run around today like they are anatomically-incorrect little men.  Isn't satan smiling at the fruit of his labors!

    It seems that most men today are soft, weak, conviction-less, reeds blowing in the wind, spineless, unable to make a decision nor to stick to it should they accidentally make one, cowards within and without, borderline effeminate; I can't hardly blame a strong Christian woman for not wanting to follow one of these social and spiritual wimps.  So then, let them be as me—alone until someone Biblically-minded comes along.

    But my point is that satan seeks to corrupt God's order.  And Feminism is only trumped by Homosexuality when it comes to perverting God's natural order for mankind.  And it is no wonder that we find the Christ-denying Judaics at the helm of both of those movements seeking to infiltrate the Christian churches with them, subverting the faith, laying waste the commandments of God, and introducing all manner of human traditions quite contrary to anything on God's mind.  Gay priests, women preachers, two-headed households, oh my!  And isn't God just about ready to vomit this whole mess out?  Frankly, I can't wait until He does, this world is evil and it is satan's world.  I and my fellow true-Christians do not belong here, we are as one who is away from home in a strange land filled with strange peoples.  Apparently I am not the only one awaiting the time when God cleanses this evil place, for assuredly we have corrupted ourselves in this world, and the blot of the sin has rubbed off a little bit upon us all:

Rom 8:18-23
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.  KJV

    Women, take cheer: in Heaven there is no gender, there is no one over the other, we are all then fellow-angels, brothers, the sons of God.  But that time is not yet now.  Be patient, the time is not all that far off.  You can wait.  And until then fulfill your God-ordained role.  Someone had to be the woman.  And is it really that burdensome, anyway?  I would think that a wise woman could have it pretty good for herself.  But what do I know about being a woman?  I do however wonder what women find so objectionable about being made female.  Anyway, our closing Scripture about us all being not gender-different in Heaven:

Mark 12:18-25
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry [male] , nor are given in marriage [female]; but are as the angels which are in heaven.  KJV

    Eternal Heaven, where our souls, both those of men and women today, are the sons of God once again:

Rev 21:1-7
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. KJV

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Nick Goggin

Hello [Xxxxxx], you are welcome.  And your submission helped others and gave us a chance to cover some topics that were needful. 

    I have to say that I am in agreement with your above.  And I appreciate especially your insight in the third paragraph where you stated: "It sickens me to watch the "programming" on TV where just about every man (except a cowboy or two in shiny new pick up trucks) are disgusting, incompetent couch potatoes while their wives are sleek, board room executives.  Why do men sit around for this abuse? If it were any other group they'd be picketing and boycotting by now." 

    But it goes much deeper than that, the Judaics who run the media also elevate Homosexuals and Lesbians over Strait people.  Look again at those Sit-Coms and you will find that they all have at least one Gay character in their cast (even though Gays only account for 3% of the population) and that Gay person is just the smartest most popular one you ever saw, and the Strait person always plays the dope.  Also, the Black characters are always portrayed as cool, sexy, quick-witted; and the Whites always play the idiots, clowns, and cowards.  Think about it, how often have you seen a Gay or Black character portrayed as an idiot on a prime-time Sit-com or a Commercial?  That's the plan: support Gays, Women, and Minorities; and disrespect Straits, Whites, Men, and most especially Christians.

    It's not that the Judaics who control all the media care about Blacks (or Gays) they are just using them as front-groups to further insolate the Judaics in society (after all, the Christ-hating Judaics have had to hazard living alongside of Christians in a Christian nation).  And after their usefulness is expired they shall turn on both those Blacks (and now the new weapon: the Illegal Latinos) and the Gays.  In fact, homosexuality is a Capital Offence in the Noahide Laws (as is Christianity) that the Judaics claim that they are going to make all "Gentiles" follow under threat of death.  So just how Gay-friendly is Judaism, anyway?  

    A White child today walks away from the TV being ashamed of his/her people.  A child of any race walks away from the TV wondering what's wrong with being Gay, or wondering why men are so stupid.  A child walks away from the TV thinking that most all Blacks are victims of "Racism" and that most all non-Jewish Whites are hateful predators.  A child walks away from the TV thinking that Judaics are simply pious nice religious people suffering under the hatefulness of a world drunken on "AntiSemitism."  A child walks away from the TV wondering how any intelligent person could believe in God and especially in Jesus Christ. 

    The truth is an exact opposite of what the Judaics have put on their controlled media—the TV shows, the nightly news, magazines, radio, motion pictures, newspapers, teen magazines, etc. 

    Take this recent "Jena 6" thing.  The Judeo-media is making a big deal about three minor-aged children who hung some nooses on a tree.  It was a prank, a stupid one, but a childish prank just the same.  But now the noose is becoming the new "N-word." 

    Before the Jena 6 incident, a noose had no widespread or universal "Racist implications," and Blacks weren't complaining about nooses.  But the Judaics (through their paid operatives Jackson and Sharpton) have told the impressionable and easily led Blacks what they should be offended by, and now we have noose-phobia all of a sudden.  Never mind that more Blacks were killed in the Public Schools this year than have been lynched in all the history of Blacks in America.  Oh, and by the way, they were killed by other Blacks.

    But the Racism Pimps Jesse Jackson and his new made for TV sidekick Al Sharpton never address Black gang crime, not even Black-on-Black crime (which for some unknown reason among Blacks is worse than Black-on-White crime), but jumped into immediate action over some nooses placed on a tree by pimply-faced 16-year-olds three months earlier.

    And lynching wasn't a Racist practice, it was the preferred manner of extra-judicial execution for rapists way back in the day.  White rapists were also lynched, but the Judeo-media won't tell you that because it diminishes their race-card weapon.  Do I support extra-judicial executions of any kind for any people?  No, absolutely not; God said that executions had to be on evidence from two or three witnesses—that necessarily meant that the accused was afforded some type of trial were this evidence was heard and addressed and the witnesses examined for credibility. 

    I'm just sick and tired of this big lie that "most White people were okay with the lynching of innocent Negros."  That is so far from the truth.  White people are big supporters of law and order, it is the darker races that we always see being lawless and prone to irrational anger and riot, that lead all the crime stats, and that are overwhelmingly the offenders in interracial rape and robbery crimes.  When the incidents aren't being white-washed by the you-know-whos that own all media, that is.

    Are all Black people Racist?  No, or course not, nor am I implying so; there is no such thing as an "every" and "all" when speaking of people.  There are good and bad in all people; however, there is a world of difference in the percentage of good verses bad between the different races.  A simple trip to the nation's prisons bears that out.  These are facts, unpopular no doubt, but they are still facts, facts which today sound as absurd to the TV-hypnotized masses as that a woman should remain chaste until marriage, have children, remain true to her husband, and actually play some role in raising her own children other than paying the pre-school and babysitter bills. 

    And the thing about the Jena 6 situation that is being lost here is that a White guy was attacked and savagely beaten by a pack of Racist Blacks for no reason, and America, most shamefully White Americans, couldn't give a crap about the real victim in the Jena 6 sham. 

    The attack on the White guy happened three months after the noose incident which he was never accused of participating in.  In other words, the two incidents are unrelated.  Just another excuse for violent racial hatred on the part of yet another group of Blacks.  And until Whites stand up together and demand that these attacks cease they shall continue to be victims of the rampant Black Racism that infects 90% of Black people to one degree or another (I would place the percentage in the White community TODAY at approximately 50%).   It's like if I steal your car and then I yell at you, "Stop Thief!"

    That is the state of perception caused by the one-sided, skewed, purposely inverted reporting on racial matters by a third party (Judaic) antagonizing and inciting media monopoly, where policy is set in the news rooms and certain stories are never presented in certain ways, and they are always presented in other ways: Jews—good; Blacks—victims; Whites—Racist Hate Crime offenders; Gays—noble, persecuted; men—violent and stupid; women—victims, oppressed; Christians—backwards and bigoted; Christian clergy—thieves, phonies, and pedophiles; Rabbis—pious, decent, keepers of the faith; Arabs—violent terrorists; Palestinians—squatters and criminals; etc.  Then they twist the coverage on those stories to fit into that pre-positioned (and dictated from above) policy. 

    Regarding the Jena 6: since when have race-on-race mob-attacks turned into a Civil Rights struggle for the offenders race?  Shouldn't the Whites have went down there protesting yet another Racist Black gang-attack on a White?  The 3,000 black Racists that went down to Jena Louisiana to protest couldn't care less that a White guy was 6-on-1 beat down by Blacks, their only concern was that the Black criminals were charged "too harshly."  And this coming from a people who love to use the term, "to the fullest extent of the law," when the offender is White.  Hypocrites and see-through Racists is what they are.

    And I was saddened to see media coverage of an obviously well-to-do Black who was taking his son down to Jena to teach him that Blacks won't take "abuse."  What he was teaching his young Black son as "abuse" was in reality justice and consequences for actions.  Five years from now this Black businessman may well be wailing when his son gets 20 years to life for murder, and he will ask himself "how could this happen?"  I can tell how it can happen: it can happen when you don't teach your children to take responsibility for their conduct, and that actions result in consequences.  Blaming "Whitey" only works for Civil Rights Pimps or until you get into a court of law with criminal charges against you, then you must face the consequences of your own actions.  The Jena 6 are all going to get convicted—the geniuses committed a crime in front of several students who knew them for years—but thanks to the 3,000 Racist protestors they will only get a slap on the wrist, probation most liklely.  After all, it was just a White kid that got attacked, and everybody knows that Whites are much too cowardly to stand up for another White, but are real quick to jump to the aid of a Black, even a Black criminal, even six Black criminals.

    Why is our world turned quite absolutely upside down?  I could answer my own question: it is because anti-Christ Judaics are in control of this world, and pit elements and peoples and nations against each other to divide and conquer—then they sweep in and divide the spoil among their tribe.  Someday the world is going to wake up to that.  They already are.

    Sorry for rambling on, but sometimes writing things out helps one to fully grasp it.  Nobody's listening anyway.

    Anyways, you sound like you have your head on strait.  Talk to you later.

Luke 21:16-17 [Jesus speaking]
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.  KJV

Answer:

Hi Again. You mentioned:

    Actually, we won't be tortured, but some will die:

    As we see by verse 20 above, those persecutions that happen before it are Christians being molested before the end of the Tribulation.  My point in that is that the above is another good verse that proves the Rapture wrong, for there are Christians on this earth during the Tribulation. 

    In verse 18 we see a euphemism which comforts us to know that our treatment shall not be unbearable; for, in verse 19 we are told that mere patience will see us through it.  However, in verse 16 we learn that some will be executed (obviously in a quick and painless manner, certainly not tortured to death).  Continuing our investigation: elsewhere in Scripture (Rev 2:10) we are told that this time of incarceration/testing/tribulation shall not exceed ten days.

Rev 2:10
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.  KJV

    And finally, in chapter twenty of the book of Revelation we discover the beast's execution method—beheading, which is quite absolutely painless.

Rev 20:1-6
20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.  KJV

    And I believe that the Lord will quell the terror of imminent execution by being right beside us, visible to only the condemned Christian, telling them that it will be fine, and to not fear coming over to the other side (die).  Many antichrists (the no-names-necessary) shall be amazed in wonder in that so many Christians will greet the guillotine with a warm and glowing smile on their face.  And this is not without precedent; for, in Fox's Book of Martyrs there is an account of when (the crypto-Jews¹ who ran) the "Catholic" inquisitions were torturing beyond all belief and then finally killed a certain Christian woman, they were amazed that throughout the entire ordeal she never whimpered and that in fact she smiled as they delivered the death blow.  This I  believe is a type for us as to what shall be the state of mind of the Tribulation Martyrs—that while her body was being abused, she was not on that table, she was eye to eye with the King of Angels, the Lord Jesus Christ Almighty and Eternal.  And that for her, her death was not terror-filled.  Elsewhere the Master would say:

Matt 10:28 [Jesus speaking]
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. KJV

Footnote               
¹ For instance, the infamous Spanish Inquisitions were overseen by the crypto-Jew, Tomás de Torquemada (1420–1498), where more Christians were killed by "the church" than by the Roman persecutions of the first century. And converted (to Christianity) Jews were especially targeted by Torquemada.  Later, history would be skewed and altered so that today the Christian church is blamed for the evil work of infiltrated crypto-Jews who have run the Vatican since nearly the foundation of the Roman Catholic faith.  Many do not know that there have been over 20 Jewish popes (Crypto-Jews; i.e., secret Jews).  Even the famous pope John Paul II was Jewish (on his mother's side, his mother was a polish Jew who Polanized her name).  And being born of a Jewish mother, by Jewish law he was a full Jew, and actually could have requested and had to have been granted the "right of return" as a Jew to Israel under Israeli law.

     In closing; you said:

"I'm so sorry I ever let the likes of Rodney Howard-Browne lay hands on me!"

    I don't blame you; I would feel dirty (spiritually) had one of them touched me.  Now, there is something that I feel that you must do: If any Christian has been "anointed," touched, prayed over, came into contact with, or was otherwise effected by one of these false preachers, then all that they have to do is to pray to God that in Jesus' name He remove any residual evil that may be lurking around them.  That is most certainly what I would do if one of these demon-possessed false preachers/healers (Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, etc. ad nauseam) had ever touched me, or if I was ever in the audience of one of their meetings while they were spreading around their false "anointing," I don't care if it was twenty years ago, I don't care if it was fifty.

    For, while the evil spirits cannot penetrate the Holy Spirit that is within every TRUE Christian, they can hang-on and follow about, effecting those non-Christians that you come into contact with, and through them wreak mischief in your life.  Ever wonder why seemingly uninvolved people mess with your life or show hatred to you for no apparent reason?  Well, wonder no more.  Then pray that above prayer.  Yes, I am serious, Christian.  The spiritual realm is very real, and there is a dark side; and the likes of Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, and the others that were covered in your earlier above articles are dabbling in them and spreading them like a plague attempting to penetrate the body of Christ, that is to say His church.  That is to say, us.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
