"Young Earth" (6,000 years) proponents unwittingly damaging Christianity's credibility

 

A new reader writes:

By chance I stumbled upon your web site where you speak quite extensively about three different earth ages [When was The beginning?].  I followed your Bible verses and along with the explanations you gave in effort to establish a link with the word of God with the foolishness of man's extrapolations of the age of this earth being billions of years old. 

You ignore the fact that the dating methods used by man to date the age of earth are dependant on a set of assumptions that rarely give the same date twice.  There are so many problems with the methods these so-called scientists use to date the age of anything in God's universe they cannot be trusted. 

A much bigger problem with this multi earth age theory is additions must be made to God's word along with creative interpretations of translations of words. 

Instead of trying to second guess God why not simply trust what his word and his word alone says. For example. So-called scientists seem to have a problem with the distance to stars and time.  They ignore the fact that God wanted light from these far away stars to be here instantly upon creation and foolishly determine that creation could not have been in six literal days because light would have taken billions of years to arrive at the earth had it traveled that far.  Obviously, God created the stars with light already at the earth so that we could see his wonderful creation without having to wait those billions of years. 

How can we say we love him if we do not trust his word? 

I will pray for you to have faith.  For by faith are we saved. And that not of ourselves. It is a gift of God, least any man should boast.

Answer:

Hello [Xxxxxx].  You said:

"How can we say we love him if we do not trust his word?"

    Well, that sounds so nice; however, what you're really saying is: "How can we say we love him if we do not trust [Xxxxxx's interpretation of His] word?" 

    At the risk of sounding self-absorbed, I dare say that none trusts God's Word more than I.  I do trust that the Holy Bible is the literal written Word of God and that God Himself preserved the faithfulness of those words. 

    I could turn your argument around on you and ask you why you do not believe God's Word about the three Earth ages? 

    Surely you have read our study, When was The beginning?; therefore, for the life of me I cannot understand how a Bible-believing Christian can doubt that there are three Earth ages in God's plan. 

    What is it about you "Ken Ham," "Answers In Genesis" people?  Ken Ham and his arguments are ridiculous.  (And they actually teach a form of Evolution!!!)  Please don't attribute to God the goofy explanations of Mr. Ham.  Or Ham's silly "Creation Museum" that shows life-size plaster exhibits of Adam and Eve and their pet baby dinosaur.  Is it any wonder that unbelievers are resistant to Christianity with people like Kenneth Ham leading the way!  Ham and his ministry is a Trojan Horse to destroy Biblical Christianity, all the while mumbling their motto: "Believing God's Word from the very first verse of Genesis," or something along that line.

    I know that "Young Earth" proponents, as you are called, have a huge problem with the word "day" ("And the evening and the morning were the first day" — Gen 1:5, etc.) meaning a longer period of time than 24 hours, but you have no problem with God's below use of the word "day" meaning a longer period of time than from sunrise to sunrise.

Genesis 2:16-17
16 And the Lord God commanded the man
[Adam], saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.  KJV

    Both words "day" from Gen 1:5 and 2:17 above are the same Hebrew word, yowm.  And notice below from its definition that it often means more than a 24 hour day:

day: Hebrew word #3117  yowm (yome); from an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figurative (a space of time defined by an associated term), [often used adverb]:  KJV - age, always, chronicals, continually (-ance), daily, ([birth-], each, to) day, (now a, two) days (agone), elder, end, evening, (for) ever (-lasting, -more), full, life, as (so) long as (... live), (even) now, old, outlived, perpetually, presently, remaineth, required, season, since, space, then, (process of) time, as at other times, in trouble, weather, (as) when, (a, the, within a) while (that), whole (+age), (full) year (-ly), younger. (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.)

    And surely you know that Adam did not die 24 hours after partaking of that which God had forbidden in Gen 2:17 above.  So you must admit that a "day" in the Bible is not necessarily 24 hours.  Unless, of course, it conflicts with your preconceived or falsely taught notions on any certain Bible fact.  Talk about inconsistency on your side's part!  And by the way, in the creation narrative of Genesis chapter one we see the creation "days" listed; however, there was no sun until the forth day—ergo, no "day" as we understand days today.  In the New Testament in 2nd Peter 3:8 God gives a key clue that the "Young Earthers" seem to willingly ignore: "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

    You've read of "the DAY of the Lord" in your Bible; it is not 24 hours, it is the thousand years spoken of in Revelation chapter twenty which begins at the Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ in Rev 19:11.

References to "the day of the Lord" in the Bible:

Old Testament:  Isaiah 2:12, Isaiah 13:6, Isaiah 13:9, Isaiah 34:8, Jeremiah 46:10, Lamentations 2:22, Ezekiel 13:5, Ezekiel 30:3, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:1, Joel 2:11, Joel 2:31, Joel 3:14, Amos 5:18, 5:20 Obadiah 1:15, Zephaniah 1:7, Zephaniah 1:8, Zephaniah 1:14, Zephaniah 1:18, Zephaniah 2:2, Zephaniah 2:3, Zechariah 14:1, Malachi 4:5;

New Testament:  Acts 2:20, 1 Corinthians 5:5, 2nd Corinthians 1:14, 1st Thessalonians 5:2 2 Peter 3:10.

    And I don't need Carbon-14, Potassium-Argon, etc, testing to know that this Earth is older than six thousand years—I can just look at cuts in hills and sides of mountains that reveal uncountable numbers of sedimentary layers laid down over God-knows-how-long.  Or at rivers eroded miles deep in solid rock (Mr. Ham says that the river in the Grand Canyon [which is a mile deep!] was carved out in less than one year from the runoff water of Noah's Flood!  And then presumably stopped carving for the last 6000 years?  Or "went back" to the normal rate of water erosion on rock???).  I could go on....  Instead of relying on these mental gymnastics, how much easier is it to just accept that while this earth—the actual planetary globe—is very very old, man hasn't been here for all that long (±14,000 years), just as God's Bible declares?

    According to Biblical information this Earth age (not the earth itself) is ±14,000 years old (8,000 years from Gen 1:2b to Adam, and 6,000 years from Adam to today; ergo, approximately 14,000 years, give or take, from the beginning of this earth age till today).  However, also note that there is the possibility that these numbers much be increased, as we are not told how many years (God's days) transpired between God's seventh day of rest and the forming of Adam in Gen 2:7—we just presume that it was on the next day, the "eighth" day, (1000 years) after the seventh 1,000-year day, but we have no definite support for that supposition.  In other words, it is entirely possible that many years transpired between God's (seventh) day of rest and the forming of Adam; for, it never says "on the eighth day...," it only says that after God saw that there was no man to till the ground (no farmer) He formed Adam (the earlier "6th day" men were gatherers).  But the first seven creation days can be reliably reckoned as 7,000 human years (unless there is time between Gen 1:2b and 1:3, but there probably isn't).  And all other races were created in God's image (the human form as opposed to an animal) during the sixth day creation of Genesis chapter one, some 6,000 years after Gen 1:2b (Adam was formed in chapter two).  See our, Mankind; two separate creation events.  To put this into a graphic for better clarity we could state this as either one of the two below models:

Years Event OR  Years Event
1000 2nd Earth age (Gen 1:2b), Light 1000 2nd Earth age (Gen 1:2b), Light
2000 Waters divided 2000 Waters divided
3000 Land separated, plant life 3000 Land separated, plant life
4000 Sun and moon 4000 Sun and moon
5000 Birds and fish 5000 Birds and fish
6000 Animals and Mankind created 6000 Animals and Mankind created
7000 God's day of rest 7000 God's day of rest
8000
4004bc
Adam's race formed, domestic/farm animals

Unknown
amount
of years

 
 
4004 B.C. Adam's race formed, domestic/farm animals

  
    Nevertheless, even if we take the modern dating methods as basically accurate, there is not all that much discrepancy between science's age of the oldest HUMAN remains and the Bible's.  Now, I am speaking of HUMAN remains, not the remains of extinct species of apes that the Darwinists say are "evolutionary ancestors" of humans, such as "Lucy," remains pictured at right, the 3½ foot tall 25-year-old ape (species Australopithecus afarensis) dated at 3.25 million years old.  One of the oldest HUMAN remains is the "Kennewick Man" dated somewhere between 5650 and 9510 years old, or from approximately 7500 B.C—3600 B.C. (Adam was formed in 4004 B.C., the rest of the races created at least two thousand years before Adam).

    Now, since you have presumably read the When was The beginning? study of ours I will just post one Scripture without explanation, or without as you claim, "creative interpretations of translations of words".  Read it with a clear mind and tell me that you really can't see three Earth ages in it:

One
Two
Three

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, being overflowed with water, perished:


7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, 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 [Christians], according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.  KJV

    And if you can't see three separate Earth (and Heaven) ages in the above Scripture, then don't worry, it isn't a salvation matter.  You don't have to understand the creation of the world to get into Heaven.  Just blissfully sleep on, but don't accuse those who do understand God's Word of "unbelief."  Your willing ignorance (vs. 5 above) is your prison, not mine. 

    How much better an evangelical tool would it be to present the world with an intelligent Christian?  Now get busy studying God's Word, not Ken Ham's and the "Young Earther's" misinterpretation of it.  You're embarrassing us and bringing discredit upon the faith.  And yes, as always, I lay the lion's share of the blame at the feet of today's many (not all preachers) useless Biblically-illiterate "career" preachers, who are paid to learn and know the Bible—that's their job—but quite obviously don't know diddley about it.  The result is that the average Christian in the pew is equally ignorant; and being thus, is ripe for deception.  True were Christ's words: "And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?" (Luke 6:39 ).

    PS:  You may benefit greatly from the three below studies, in the below order of reading; for many "Bible problems" are removed by a true understanding of God's Word.  I dare say that if you understand what is in the three below Bible studies you will know more than over 95% of Christians world-wide. 

  1. When was The beginning?  

  2. Mankind; two separate creation events

  3. What was the Real sin in the garden of Eden?

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

A primer on the "Jews" and today's nation "Israel"

 

A (new) reader writes:

Good morning to you sir,
 
I am astonished with the wisdom and the passion that God has bestowed on you and this website you have created. It is the most insightful and scripturally founded collection of studies and facts that I have found thus far. One thing puzzles me though. After researching several of your studies, I have found it to be quite clear that you are not a supporter of Zionism (or the preservation of an Israeli state for the Jewish people). However, scripture does state that God has predestined his people to inherit their own state, an undivided state. How can one argue with that? He also declares that the enemies that invade Jersualem will be destroyed by His own hand. Why are you instructing us Christians to have such disdain for the Jewish people and the state of Israel when God himself has declared that despite their blasphemy and idol worship, he will save them and wipe out all of their enemies, so much so that there will be mountains of corpses?
 
Continued blessings to you sir and to your efforts to spread the truth,
 
[Xxxxx]


Answer:

Hello [Xxxxxxx].  Thank you for the kind words.  It would not be condescending of me to state that it will take a fair amount of material to answer fully your concerns.  We have it all on the website, spread over many different studies.  But the short answer is thus, summed-up in short summary: 

    The so-called, self-styled "Jews" of today are not in any way the physical decedents of the "Jews" of the Bible.  By "Jews" of the Bible I mean the descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel.  (Understand that the term "Jew" has been usurped and misunderstood.)  In fact, oddly enough, over 95% of so-called Jews today are not even a Semitic people (and the Palestinians ARE a Semitic people, through their father Abraham).  The term and designator Semite comes from Shemite, or the sons of Shem.  Shem was one of Noah's three sons, and all of those in his line are classified as Semites.  However, the so-called Jews of today, 95% of them anyway, known as the Ashkenazi Jews or Eastern European Jews, are direct descendents of the Khazars, a Turko-Mongoloid people that inhabited what is now South-Western Russian, between and slightly North of the Black and the Caspian seas.  (The Caspian Sea was once known as the Khazar Sea when the "Jews" were there, and such name can found on old maps before the modern "Jews" hid it to hide their ancestors the Khazar people from historical light.)  These Khazars (called Ashkenazi Jews today) are blood-related to Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan and never had a relative that set foot in the Holy Land until the Rothschild takeover beginning in the early 1940s on to the establishment of the false born-in-bloodshed Israel State on May 14, 1948. 

    So they are not God's people by blood.  Certainly not by religion, for Christianity is the fulfillment of the Old Testament (Old Covenant/Old Contract) religion of Israel delivered by God's faithful servant Moses. 

    So what happened to God's real people Israel?  They migrated North over the Caucasus mountains whence they gained the name Caucasian and migrated as prophesied West and North of Palestine, settling in Europe and eventually sailing West to and establishing the Americas.  That is to say that the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the sons of those whom were led out of Egyptian bondage by the hand of the Lord God, those same that then received the Law of God at the mouth of Moses, the ones to whom all the promises of God were delivered were/are the people that are today called the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples, or over-simplified—White people.  But there has been treachery committed, evil people have usurped Israel's identity and falsely taken their place in history and the modern world.  The perennial enemies of Israel are today calling themselves Israel (Jews actually)!  If God's people Israel are called "White people" it is considered racist, but if they are reckoned as "Jews" then no one seems to mind.  For instance, if a rabbi on TV calls "Jews," God's people, it is accepted by all; but if a Caucasian on TV says that they are God's people, then they are called "White Supremacists," 'bigots," racists," "neo-Nazis," or whatever libel of the day which is being used to suppress true Israel.  This is treachery.  And it has purpose—to suppress true Israel—and it is practiced by false Israel ("Jews") and the unwitting non-Jews who are given over to their domination in academia, media, and social engineering.

    This (Anglo-Saxon as true Israel) is known as British Israelism, or in a disparaging way: Christian Identity.  (Christian Identity is not in itself a pejorative, but crypto-Jews which have infiltrated/created "racist White hate groups" have turned it into an ugly racism—thus hoping to accomplish the great feat of getting learned men such as yourself to reject the truth and to welcome with open arms as "God's Chosen People" satan's infiltrators). 

    The "Jews" of today, those phonies (though they largely are unaware that they are a lie), have made it out that true Israel (Anglo-Saxons) are the fakes and that the fakes (so-called Jews today) are the real true Israel.  This is all Biblical in nature, a battle begun between Cain and Able, and continued on through Jacob and Esau, till today, as you can plainly see. 

    Therefore, say, I as a German/Irish person, could not utter AntiSemitic remarks without insulting myself; for the German and Irish (and English, pure Spaniard, French, early Russian, etc. peoples) are the descendents of true Israel—they are all brothers—though true to form, the "Jews" have made them fight each other in two World Wars and hundreds of other lesser battles.  This is Fratricide, the killing of brother on brother.  Bear in mind, though, that much infiltration by the fake "Jews" has occurred, specially in France and Russia and the English nobility, et al.  Wherever true Israel went, the false ones have followed to destroy; just like the Kenites (sons of Cain) followed and infiltrated true Israel (1st Chronicles 2:55 for example).  What we call "AntiSemitism" today is just a front on this intellectual war.

    The Bible prophesies that these false Jews shall play a prominent role in oppressing/attacking God's true Israel people in the Tribulation of the endtimes (soon coming to fruition):

(May I point out that in the below two Scriptures the speaker is Jesus Christ Himself?)

Revelation 2:8-11
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive
[Jesus Christ];
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
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.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. KJV

Revelation 3:7-13
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth
[Jesus Christ];
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. KJV

    After reading the above you should never again have to ask yourself why the "Jews" so hate the New Testament—it testifies against them!  When a member of the religion of Judaism reads the New Testament he is reading of his own sentence from God, his/her destruction in the Lake of Fire.

    So God's promises and His written Word are true, Israel is alive and well and shall fulfill her prophecies; but as also prophesied they shall lose knowledge of their identity for a time.  This is where we are at today.  (See for instance: Isa. 42:16-19; Hos. 1:9, 10; 2:6; Rom. 11:25.) 

    Let me add that ancestry and race has nothing to do with salvation.  Whether one is "Jew" or "Gentile" has no bearing on salvation; for, Jesus Christ opened up salvation to the "Gentiles;" to all humans better stated.  But only through faith in Him, Jesus Christ!  Even a so-called "Jew" of today can be saved by submitting to Jesus Christ.  Though few seem inclined to so do. 

    in your E-mail you referenced several prophesy snippets regarding the restoration of Israel, and they shall come to pass; for God's prophecies cannot fail, save for those that were conditional and whose conditions were broken by man.  The problem is that we must rightly divide (2nd Tim 2:15), we must identify the subject and the object, and we must identify the peoples who are being spoken of at the moment.  Then we can see God's words and His Word flow out in perfection, no prophesy lost, no Scripture confounded.  But those enemies that I spoke of, they are to this very day confusing God's written Word, lying incessantly, and generally making a mess out of God's good world and His children all men of Christ.  They shall perish at the last as recorded.  Until then the battle is with words and knowledge and wisdom, which is capsulated in information.  That is what we are trying to do at WBSG (Watchmen Bible Study Group), disseminate information. 

    You have a lot to learn, now go out and learn it, it is there, the truth is there; you simply have to know where to look for it.  It is "hidden" in plain sight in your good 'ole King James Bible.  Now you know why the world doesn't want you to believe God's Bible.  The Bible says that the world shall perish, and the world loves its own. 

    One more word on the modern day so-called nation state of Israel.  The nation that we today call "Israel" is no fulfillment of any good prophecy (in fact, it is the future seat of the beast, the seat of satan/antichrist).  The true Israel of the prophesies was only to be reformulated under the King of Israel, under the Messiah.  Well, there is no Messiah in "Israel" today.  (There are in fact many strict "Jews" who reject the Zionist State of Israel for this very reason, and the fact that over 50% of so-called Jews today are self-admitted Atheists (calling themselves "secular Jews"]).  But when God sent The Messiah, the false "Jews" had Him murdered.  And till this day they are actively engaged in destroying His true people Israel and His ONLY acceptable religion, Christianity.  Such is the great controversy, the great struggle, Jacob's Trouble writ large.  And you haven't seen anything yet!  In the Tribulation (Revelation chapter six forward) these false Jews, by the evil power of satan, shall actively attempt to force both Israel and all Christians generally and the whole world to worship the Talmudic god of the "Jews," the antichrist/satan:

Revelation 13:3-8
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  KJV

    Hope that wasn't too much too quick.  But you asked, and you ought to have an answer.  Did not our Lord even command us so by Scripture?

2 Timothy 4:1-5
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. KJV

    And there isn't a word which I have written today that can't document.  And on our website it is all drawn out over several studies in an in-depth fashion with substantial documentation.  It should likely take a ready mind several months to settle this all in their understanding with documentation ascertained.  Sadly, you will not learn these truths in your church, the endtime Christian churches and their clergy have all for the most part been compromised—as prophesied, I might add.

    Every sentence in God's Bible is true, and that truth is found only in the "King James" "version" of the Bible.  But that is an altogether another study (see our: Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God).  And how can one believe God if they do not believe His written Word?  That is why all the leading "scholarship" AGAINST the validity of the Bible is carried out and/or financed by apostate "Jews."  This also is another study for another time.  But should it be considered a remarkable thing that those who killed His Son, and hunted and persecuted His early Christian church, would also seek to destroy God's written Word?  No, it is not at all remarkable; rather it is quite predictable. 

    May God bless your studies and protect from the poison of some who go too far, the so-called AntiSemites; for they take some truth and mix it with lie and confuse the heck out of everyone.  By design, of course.  Those who know the truth in this matter don't hate "Jews," they are wary of them, and for good cause.  Just as we are wary in the woods when we hear a growl in the bushes. 

    The battleground is the world, the controversy is over souls, the combatants are God's people (the Christian) and satan's people (the "Jews").  That is why little Johnny can't say "God" in school and why you have "Holiday trees" instead of Christmas Trees (Oh how the "Jew" hates the mention of Christ!). 

    And if I have an agenda let it be that I want to speak the truth regardless of repercussions in popularity or reputation.  I add that I am not infallible, and do not claim perfection, only claiming sincerity, as God be my witness.  You have a Bible—check me out; search my references, settle it in your own mind so much so that you could teach it to others yourself.  That is well-pleasing to God and deserving of His Son Jesus Christ, our Messiah. 

    And let me, if I may, warn you:  in your studies on these matters you shall undoubtedly encounter many wolves in sheep's clothing who shall try to lure and deceive you with part-truths and twisted doctrine—"teachers and preachers" learning just enough to be dangerous.  Prayer to God in Jesus Christ's name shall insure that you are led away from those false "preachers."  But many a good Christian has "gone off the deep end" by way of false teachings.  God shall recompense the false prophets (false teachers), the ignorant shall be ashamed but the wicked shall perish. 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

 I  agree that the Chrisitain church presently and for quite some time has been just a ghost impression of Christianity. However, dumping guilt on these christians regarding voting for obama- the baby killer, is quite extreme on your part and frankly counter-productive, and heres why;

 

During the most recent election the main focus of almost ALL Americans was the economy and the war- to get us out of the monetary black hole of American offensives around the globe. Just one election ago, abortion may have been a contender, but at the present, poeple are scrambling to keep afloat- and basically looking for a leader who can rise to the challenge (a savior).  The World is crashing in on many, many poeple. So- humans tend to be self-preservationists it's kind of an innate ability (or disability, if your prefer to look at that way). So if your family is about to be homeless and you don't know how you're going to feed your children, you might not be so concerned about whether or not you neighbor's daughter is having an abortion-it's just not top priority anymore. Is it?!

 

The issues of just 10 years ago are pretty much non-issues at this point. We are in IT (tribulation) -knee deep and rising at an accelerated speed. There is NO and I mean NO, NO, NO, chance of turning back- there will never be national sovernity in the U.S. again....ever.  We are finally in IT.

It was planned- the powers that rule this earth have created it to be so (and you know it). They have rocked the boat so tumultiously, that now..... it's capsizing.

I mean look at the choices we were given for president as so beautifully orchestrated by our enslaving media (and make no mistake about it-THEY decide who will be the main candidates----of course always from the 2 main parties).

 

First we have: McCain: who wanted to continue (for 100 YEARS) with this God-forsaken war and knew nothing (admitedly) about how to go about cleaning up the financial mess created by it, and the preditory lending practices designed by our ever watchful Fed. OR....... Obama: The media darling "savior" who claimed he would get us out of Iraq "right away". Yes, it's true that his real agenda about "change" and "yes we can" was not really talked about by our mainstream media, You had to search it out yourself........through other sources. Well most people just arent interested (or even capable after working 2 jobs to make ends meet) in taking  time away from their immediate life to look into political matters-NOT EVEN if their LIFE depends on it- MOST American's are also over-sedated, flouradated, dumb downed drones.

 

I am constantly shocked when i talk to poeple about current world issues- and find they know NOTHING about it at all. Like the genocide that just took place in gaza- i mean NOBODY around me even mentioned it, and when i brought it up, they didn;t know what i was talking about. It was apaulling! We give israel about 10 illion us $ a day and they're wiping out the palestinian race no differently than what they claim germany did to them. they're over there re-creating another wausaw ghetto with our hard earned $(on the backs of over worked underpaid brain washed american drones). It' just SICK. Now that goes without even mentioning, the fed, N.A.T.U., the patriot act, et. al. We are SOOOOO in IT it's rediculous! it's HERE. And there ain't NO turning back!

 

So- My point is instead of blaming these drones (who happen to be God's creations).........perhaps you could try de-programing instead......using love.......most mainstream christians respond to it. Heck- I don't know maybe they are meant to stay un-aware, maybe they're better off not knowing they aren't free. I am so tired of policical agendas I can hardly stand it anymore.  

 

Arnold Murry would always say something to effect "If you fall off the wagon, pick yourself up, brush yourself off get back on and keep going. Don't waste time beating yourself up about it....... God will forgive you he knows what's in your heart" That statement will always be with me, because that was the 1st time I ever heard a preacher who didn't just dump guilt & shame, stick his nose up and ask for money.

 

If this ship is sinking (as you know,I personally believe it is) then wouldn't a Christian want to let his brethern know it while at the same time he is condemning them, still offer a life preserver.?! Love is a life preserver.

As ugly as these evil-doing intra-nationalists are, the poeple who follow un-knowingly are innocent until proven guilty..............Ony GOD can make that decision.

It would just be really refreshing if someone would come up with a counter plan against the NWO pretty soon, because the trench is just getting deeper and deeper. It might be time fo a rEVOLution.

No response needed, Sorry i dumped on you, God speed, [Xxxxxx]


Answer:

Hi [Xxxxxxxx].  Thank you for your opinion, you are really quite informed—something sorely lacking in most others today. 

    Regarding your reference to abortion being sort of yesterday's issue:  Can you now see how they numb us?  I'm not singling you out, but can't you see that they have numbed you to the ONGOING murder of over 43 million and counting (in just America alone since 1973 when abortion was legalized) growing babies?  That is roughly equal to either the entire Black or the entire Latino population of America today! 

    Not just numbers, not to God, anyway.  We grow weary for numbers, but to God each and every one is a child of His; a soul that He sent into this world. 

    Which do you suppose God is more concerned about, our portfolios or the slaughter of the innocents? 

    And please don't overlook Obama's recent (after I wrote my article) reversal of the federal finance ban on Embryonic Stem Cell research (as opposed to adult Stem Cell research which was never restricted).  The reason that Christians ought to be infuriated that their tax dollars are now (thanks to Pres. Obama) being used to finance Embryonic Stem Cell research is that every time they "make" an Embryonic Stem Cell they in effect commit an abortion.  The Embryonic Stem Cell is taken from a fertilized embryo.  You and I were once fertilized embryos; so was Barack Obama.  In other words, life had begun as a human egg and a human sperm begin the nine-month process of diving and dividing and dividing... to form a baby.

"Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of an early stage embryo known as a blastocyst. Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4–5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50–150 cells...." - Source.

    And I don't consider abortion to be a nuisance topic.  I rather object to the loss of our humanity. 

    I do, however, understand your frustration.  But just because evil has been legalized and mainstreamed does not mean that God turns a blind eye to the matter.  Suppose they killed 43 million one-minute-old babies; would people be more shocked?  Or what really is the difference between a one-month-old baby and an eight-month-old "fetus?"  Life begins when it starts, not when it transitions from the womb to the operating room. 

    America (and the world) has been numbed, having their consciences seared by the International Judaics, who have deluded the morals of the educated world.  (They are the single most prominent abortion advocates/enablers.) 

    Here is how they work their evil: 

    If, starting today, they publicly murdered one innocent person a day—people would protest in the streets. 

    If, in a month, they had increased the public murders to two innocent people a day—people would still loudly object. 

    If, by years end they were publicly murdering ten innocent people a day—people would still be upset. 

    If, in ten years they were publicly murdering a hundred innocent people a day—people would yawn.  They would even vote into office men and women who advocate these murders!  They had become numb to the evil.  That is how the International Judaic works at doing his god, satan's, bidding.

    Many otherwise decent Christians in America are now past the yawning stage and well into voting abortion-mongers into office.  People say that we shouldn't be a "one issue voter," and that a politician's stance on abortion should be overlooked because he is Black, a woman, good for finance, strong militarily, etc.  I say to hell with them; what single issue could be important than baby murder?!?  Some object to the use of the term "baby murder," but what do you call the termination of a growing life?  Any way you slice it (or pretty it up), it is still a murder.

(Note to SC students: Pastor M. is just plain wrong when he states that murderers cannot be forgiven in this life.  Through Christ all sins can be forgiven, save for one—the Unforgivable Sin—and that unforgivable sin is not murder.  "Wherefore I [Jesus] say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." (Mat 12:29. See also Luke 12:10).  So Christian women who have had abortions and the Christian men who financed, enabled, or encouraged those abortions can be forgiven and washed clean of that sin through repentance to God in Jesus Christ's name.  Yes, a man can be guilty of the sin of abortion, by consent.  [I myself have been guilty in that fashion in the past, and have repented for my sin; for now I know that it was indeed a sin before God's eyes.  I share that so that no one will confuse me with a "holier-than-thou" type or a self-righteous hypocrite].)

    And I, for one, while in no way claiming to have attained moral perfection, strongly object to my tax money financing these abortions (Embryonic Stem Cell "harvesting," as well as legalized abortions with State's Aid monies). 

    Christians could deflect much of the criticism aimed at them by non-Christians by simply informing them that it is quite possible to believe in something yet not live up to it.  I say that because Christians are coerced into silence because they personally have some blot or sin in their character or past; e.g., as in the argument that Gay marriage should be allowed because Strait's screw up their own marriages so much. 

    Now, I know that it is appealing or sticky-sweet cool to some people that Pres. Obama is "the first Black president," but do they really want to share a place in the Lake of Fire with him?  Am I "judging" him?  Hardly, I am simply observing all that God had written in His Bible.  And just where do you think that Pres. Obama is going if he does not repent?  God is no respecter of a man's person.  Were should you or I go if we had never repented of our sins? 

    Life isn't a game, God takes our lives and our life's decisions very seriously.  Thank God that Christians can be forgiven upon repentance.  But when will the "yawn factor" stop us from even "bothering" to ask for forgiveness anymore?  Soon, I fear.  That time is even at the doors, is it not? 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

False "healing ministries" and false "prosperity ministries"; how to determine

 

A reader writes:

Subject: Can the false teachers of satan heal the sick?
Hello. I live in the dominican republic . I speak terrible spanish and cant read it at all . Been here for 5 years and after starving to read english ,because nothing was available, I read the bible (total). The word of GOD is incredible and after 59 years in the catholic church, I quit. The bible answered so many questions I had for the priests, Son don’t worry that’s a mystery of GOD! I got baptized in a pentecostal church and the holy spirit came to me there. I don’t believe in their talking in tongues, but do believe in the pentacostal tongue(don’t understand any of their spainish either) Nobody influenced me. I didn’t even know I had the holy spirit for two weeks. After watching the daystar station in english for a month. I sent the daystar money .I went down stairs to send the check with a friend and when I returned the daystar was off the air and only this boring gentleman called Pastor Murray was on . Been watching now for 10 months. Talk about the holy spirit leading. Hallelulah!! About a month ago I typed in 14000 year old man and found you. You got it ,The holy spirit. You have no idea of how many genuine miracles that have happened to this ex, sinner( story for another day)

Question. My wife watches the spainish station enlaces and likes cash luna. She also likes this guy that calls himself an apostle of GOD .they both seem to be doing true healings I need some help with this. This guy is a preacher from the dr and my wifes family has seen the healings. When you see little children being healed and then talking about it, it makes one wonder. Do you think this is real or can satan and his hench demon false prophets heal people? Will they be healing people when the anti christ is here?

Enjoy your writings and side with you on half you disagree with P.Murray and him on the other half

[Xxxxx]

Do you have anything in spanish you or Pastor Murray

 

Answer:

Hello [Xxxxxxx].  Welcome.  And sorry but we have nothing in Spanish.  You asked:

"Do you think this is real or can satan and his hench demon false prophets heal people? Will they be healing people when the anti christ is here?"

    There are many false preachers that do false healings.  In America we have Benny Hinn, who is as fake as it gets.  Many times certain "healing ministries" have been exposed for planting fake sick people in the audience who are then called up to the stage to be "healed."  Or they will have agents sitting in the crowd and mingling with the people in the entrance before the meeting.  These agents would ask strangers questions about their healing need.  Then they would transfer this information to the preacher on stage via two-way radios or whatnot.  Then the preacher calls out the sick person and tells them all that is wrong with them.  The sick person is amazed because he has never spoken to this preacher, yet the preacher knew private things.  Many times the genuinely sick person is caught up in the moment and thinks that their cancer is gone or the pain is gone—but it really isn't, they feel it the next day.  But the services are over by then and nobody hears the follow-up report. 

    Nevertheless, we must never discount the fact that should God choose to do so, He could heal that person even though the meeting and the preacher is fake, simply because of the great faith of the Christian seeking the healing.  All healings are based upon the faith of the Christian.  In other words, we can all be healed if we have that great degree of faith.  Jesus basically said as much when He stated:

Matthew 17:14-21
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.  KJV

    And FAITH is one of the Spiritual Gifts, so while a Christian may have "faith enough" (for lack of a more dignified term) to be saved they may not have that great gift of faith than would cause God to bless them with a healing.  If I were sick I would first pray for all faith, for great faith, then later I would pray for a healing. 

    Faith is one of the Spiritual gifts:

1 Corinthians 12:4-12
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit [the Holy Spirit].
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.  KJV

    Many Christians may be offended to hear that there is a greater degree of faith than they possess.  However, even the Apostles, those who walked with Christ, witnessed with their own eyes His miracles, even they asked Jesus to increase their faith:

Luke 17:5-6
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.  KJV

    Below is another instance of a man asking Jesus to increase his faith, and this man's son was then healed of the evil spirit that was possessing him:

Mark 9:23-24
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.  KJV

    So there is no shame in asking God to increase your faith. 

    Now to your main question.  Yes, satan/antichrist shall have power to perform miracles.  This much we are told in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 13:11-14
11 And I beheld another beast [satan/antichrist] coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.  KJV

    This is no new thing.  In fact, in the Old Testament, Pharaoh's magicians had the power to mimic God's miracles.  But theirs were not any match for God's.  Theirs were evil through occultism (Satanism) and they perished away:

Exodus 7:8-13
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.  KJV

    And as satan has certain powers and attributes so too do his false preachers:

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [disguised - Grk word #3345] into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed [disguised] as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.  KJV

transformed: Greek word #3345  metaschematizo (met-askh-ay-mat-id'-zo); from NT:3326 and a derivative of NT:4976; to transfigure or disguise; figuratively, to apply (by accommodation):  KJV - transfer, transform (self).  (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.)

    But are satan and his evil spirits and his false preachers healing people today?  No, that's not what they do.  They destroy, tear down, ruin.  If satan would be healing people then the evil would always be healthy. 

    Nevertheless, we in this endtime generation must be aware of the fact that there are powers on the other side, the evil side; and that just because a man may come some day and appear to accomplish something supernatural—that is not enough proof that he is truly a man of God.  Remember, antichrist (satan) shall deceive a great many people with his exhibitions of spiritual power:

Revelation 13:13-14
13 And he [satan/antichrist] doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.  KJV

    But know that God is always more powerful, for it is God who allows satan to have this power, for a time.  And what God gives, He can take away.  But God is powerful over all, which we witnessed briefly when the miracle serpent of God made from Aaron's rod (staff) devoured the serpents made by Pharaoh's magicians in Ex 7:12.  And all who engage in sorcery and evil-spirit manifestations shall perish. 

    And don't forget what Jesus told us to do to determine if a preacher or whatnot is true or false:

Matthew 7:15-23 [Jesus speaking]
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  KJV

    And what does each and every—all—of these so-called "healing ministries" and "healing preachers" do?  What is their fruit?  They petition you for money.  Their whole fake "miracle show" is a well orchestrated act designed for one purpose alone—to obtain donations from the thousands of people watching and attending.  Another fruit to test them by is the fact that most (I dare say all) every single one of them professes the false unbiblical doctrine of "talking in tongues" and the "Rapture" hoax.  And a great many of them engage in unscriptural "spiritualism" as in their "slain in the spirit" and other such manifestations of evil spirits disguised as agents of God.  Another scam ministry theme is the "prosperity ministers" who prosper only themselves on your money.  These shall all face the fire.

    Therefore, if they do not even understand their Bibles, and if they cannot even discern evil spirits for what they are—even inviting them to possess their congregation(!), then why would we assume that they are gifted from God to promote healings and financial blessings?

    And don't you think that if one of these fake preachers (like Benny Hinn, for instance) could really heal the sick with the wave of the hand that they would be all over the talk shows, or emptying the hospitals?  Surely Hinn and others would be selling the healings for much money. 

    A real Christian who is gifted does not profit from it and does not brag about it.  And yes, God heals miraculously even today.  He always has.  You just don't hear about it.  And He doesn't need a man to do it, He is quite capable of healing and blessing just between Himself and the recipient.  What I am saying is that it is not some gifted man that heals you, it is your faith that heals you; or better stated, it is God rewarding your faith with a blessing from Him, whether it be a healing or a favor in life.  So rather than going to some forum and dropping cash on some false preacher for a hopeful healing, it is far more fortuitous to get alone somewhere with God and ask Him to increase your faith and then ask Him to heal/bless you.  Asking all things, of course, in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ; for, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Phil 4:13), and "I [Jesus speaking] am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (John 15:5).  Also:

Ephesians 5:20
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;  KJV
 

John 14:13-14 [Jesus speaking]
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.  KJV
 

John 15:16 [Jesus speaking]
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  KJV
 

John 16:23 [Jesus speaking]
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. KJV
 

Colossians 3:17
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.  KJV

    That is the "formula" of all prayer: Pray to, give thanks to, and ask of, God—in Jesus Christ's name.  It's not complicated, just say: "Thank you Father, in Jesus' precious name."  Prayer is not some complicated matter, with all kinds of obscure rules and regulations, it is just you speaking to God.  That is what prayer is—the faithful speaking to God.

    When a ministry or a minister makes it complicated and difficult, that is the time to cast a wary eye at him.  And what he says must align with the Scriptures of the Bible and he cannot contradict those words from our God that are contained in that Bible. 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Answer:

Wow, it was just that easy to lose you, huh?  Okay, sorry to see you go, you have been a reader for some time now.  But you should at least leave with the truth:

Revelation 13:11-14
11 And I beheld another beast [antichrist/satan] coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.  KJV

fire: Greek word #4442  pur (poor); a primary word; "fire" (literally or figuratively, specifically, lightning):  KJV - fiery, fire.

Judaism unwittingly confirms Jesus Christ

 

A reader writes:

After reading through one of the last questions, can anyone or has anyone produced any documented evidence that Jesus Christ actually existed? [Xxxxxx]


Answer:

Hi.  You asked:

"After reading through one of the last questions, can anyone or has anyone produced any documented evidence that Jesus  Christ actually existed?"

    Well, I suppose that you mean from a secular or non-Christian source?  From a non-Biblical source?  From a source other than the knowing heart of a faithful Christian?  If so, then the answer is yes, and from an unlikely source—The Jewish Talmud.  Those who hated Him so much that they arraigned to have Him killed based upon their false witness (lies, perjured testimony), have unwittingly forever memorialized Him in their vile "holy" book, the Babylonian Talmud

    Oh, there are written Roman records of this Jesus, but the Jew's religious writings are a source that no one on Earth could claim to be lying to support Jesus Christ.  Therefore, when the existence of the Jesus of the New Testament is documented in the Judaic's holiest book (esteemed above the Hebrew Bible by the rabbis) it must carry weight. 

    The Talmud makes numerous references to Jesus Christ.  The Talmud documents that they killed Him (they claim that they rightly did so by "Jewish" law).  The Talmud confirms that Jesus was from Nazareth, that His mother's name was Mary, that He performed miracles (but they attribute it to sorcery), and even places Jesus Christ in the correct Roman era. 

    So, ironically, while they certainly didn't mean to, the great enemies of God and Christ while attempting to defame Him have unwittingly preserved a confirmatory written record other than the Holy Bible that Jesus Christ did in fact exist and walk this Earth.

1 Corinthians 1:27-29
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.  KJV

    Of course, the Talmud ascribes at least five deaths to this Jesus, states that He is forever in hell boiling in hot feces (and in boiling semen in one account!), and that His mother Mary was a whore who "slept with many men," that His real father was a Roman soldier who sired Him in a brothel, and that he was born niddah (unclean) in that they say that His mother Mary conceived Him while she was menstruating.   Yes, all these things are written in the Jew's Talmud, but Christians aren't told this and their clergy appears to be willingly ignorant of them.  These blasphemies shall be visited upon every religious Jew on Judgment Day; for they partake in the evil deed by upholding the vile book containing these greatest of blasphemies.

Psalms 37:9-20
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.  KJV

    Yet, no doubt that your Christian preacher told you that the "Jews" are "God's chosen people."  Obviously, there is a problem here.

    For documentation of the source of all the above claims by Rabbinical Judaism (and many many more!), from Jewish sources no less, see Elizabeth Dilling's The Plot Against Christianity (later renamed to The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today). 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

So-called discoveries of archaeological "evidence" against Jesus Christ; and "not giving heed to Jewish fables" (Titus 1:14)

 

A reader writes:

Just wondered if you saw this and what you thought.


Answer:

Hi [Xxxxxx].  Yes, I have been watching that story.  The problem is that the project is being run by Christ-hating Judaics who want to interpret the tablet in a preconceived manner.  Frankly, I don't trust non-Christians—especially Judaics who are sworn opponents of Jesus Christ—to do translating and interpretation.  "They" also dominated the Dead Sea Scrolls project (the crypto-Jew Rockefeller financed and controlled the project) and withheld the contents of the Scrolls for circa 50 years.  (And how do we know that certain Dead Sea Scrolls were withheld or stolen?)

    The article opens with:

"The death and resurrection of Christ has been called into question by a radical new interpretation of a tablet found on the eastern bank of the Dead Sea.

The three-foot stone tablet appears to refer to a Messiah who rises from the grave three days after his death - even though it was written decades before the birth of Jesus.

The ink is badly faded on much of the tablet, known as Gabriel’s Vision of Revelation, which was written rather than engraved in the 1st century BC. This has led some experts to claim that the inscription has been overinterpreted."

    That having been said, it would not matter if a "prophet" wrote that stone before Jesus Christ came to be crucified.  The reason is, is that Messiah was prophesied to come way back in the Old Testament.  Many detailed prophecies exist in the Old Testament of what Messiah would do.  This is how and why so many of the false religions of old were able to impersonate the Messiah long before He (Jesus) really came.  You will have these anti-Christian buffoons spitefully tell you that the Babylonians had a mother and child figure, and that other pagan religions had a figure who died and rose again—as though this discounts Jesus Christ!  It discounts nothing, they had the Scriptures and prophecies to work from when they made their traditions.  The resurrection of Messiah was prophesied in 1000 B.C., which antedates (comes before) any religion extant on the earth today:

Psalms 16:5-11 [King David writing in circa 1000 B.C. of the Messiah]
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell
[literally, the grave]; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption [flesh decomposition].
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.  KJV

   Apostle Peter expounds on the above prophecy and explains it more fully for us:

Acts 2:22-32
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him
, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.  KJV

    As regarding those of today, ungodly men who deny Christ Jesus, and how they say that the Babylonians wrote a "creation story" before Moses wrote it: Moses did indeed begin writing the Old Testament for God in circa 1490 B.C., and the Babylonian fragments do antedate that (come earlier); however, Moses wrote of events that had happened long before 1490 B.C., and long before the Babylonians wrote their corrupted traditions.  So, when they say that the Babylonians had a creation narrative before Moses did, and that therefore Moses copied from them and corrupted it, they are being deceitful.  The Babylonian account is short and contains nowhere near the the fine detail that is contained in Moses' (God's) account which is in our Bible today.  And quite frankly, why would we suppose it odd that the Babylonians had ancient traditions handed down by word of mouth, albeit corrupted by time, that bore some similarity to the Bible's detailed and inspired account?  What makes their flimsy account more credible than God's account in the book of Genesis?  Do not all the primitive peoples speak of the sun in the sky?  Does that mean that God did not create that sun?  I really don't see their reasoning, if we are to be so kind as to refer to it as that.

    These are all tricks used by satan's people to instill doubt in the hearts of God's Christian people.  They ("Jewish" scholars) say that Moses copied the Babylonian narrative and altered it—when in realty the Babylonians corrupted the truth of the Garden of Eden under the influence of Cain who carried a corrupted version of the early creation events into Nod to the Sumerians.  (Be not surprised that I state "Jewish scholars"; for it was Jewish scholars and rabbis that fabricated the blasphemous Babylonian Talmud which is today the Jew's holiest book, taking a position of authority over the Old Testament [called by them the Tanakh] wherever the two disagree.)  Cain, after being rejected of God and cast out, corrupted the events of the Garden of Eden and made gods of Adam and Eve.  An excellent (free E-book) on this is:

SARGON THE MAGNIFICENT  by Mrs. Sydney Bristowe.
Book Description:  Written in 1927, within this book the author explains her reasons for believing that archeological discoveries in Babylonia prove that Cain (Gen 4:1) was Sargon The first in the ancient inscriptions.  Excellent hard to find data & documentation.  This book comes and goes in and out of print; and is always hard to find.  Now for a time I see that Amazon.com has some new & used copies (I could never find it with them in the past).  The only objection that I have is that the author fails to make the connection between Cain and the Kenites, also, that she does not come right out and say that Cain was of the Serpent, but does give inscriptions and other archeological evidences that their people worshipped the Serpent.  But this is a scholarly but easy to read book that fills in many of the blanks in the search for the true identify of the Kenite of the Bible.  For instance, the author gives evidence and reason that Ham, Nimrod's grandfather (Gen 10:8ff) married Naamah (Cain's only named female descendant - Gen 4:22).  This of course, is significant to the researcher interested in such things. 

    Not to mention that satan, who knows all Scripture, had direct influence on all of their ancient (and present) cults.  It shall happen again as antichrist/satan comes during the Tribulation pretending to be God (2nd Thes 2:1-4).  No doubt he will give the illusion of fulfilling Old Testament (and New Testament) prophecies.  No big deal.  Everything that is to happen has been written in the prophecies, so what great feat is it for satan to imitate it before God and Jesus fulfill it in its appointed time?  It is no big deal whatsoever.  Even God's Word states that satan will have power to perform (false and deceiving) miracles:

Revelation 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast
[antichrist/satan] coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.  KJV

    The article boasts the below, as though this would somehow make Jesus "to be not true" (God forbid!):

"The three-foot stone tablet appears to refer to a Messiah who rises from the grave three days after his death - even though it was written decades before the birth of Jesus"

    But it is no big deal that a deceiver (or even a serious Old Testament scholar) would be able to "predict" what the Messiah would do when He did finally come.  Jesus Himself declared that His three days of death was long ago prophesied in the book of Jonah (circa 690 B.C.):

Matthew 12:38-42 [Jesus speaking to His enemies]
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.  KJV

    Jesus was referring to the book of Jonah, written circa 690 B.C.; so the prophecy was written down and available to people long before this so-called stone writing was found.  They say that the stone dates "decades" before Jesus Christ.  Okay, that is what they say, but that doesn't make it true.  But as I have illustrated, it wouldn't matter if it really did antedate Jesus Christ.  Actually, the Bible itself witnesses that false messiahs and religious movement leaders had arisen a generation or so prior to Jesus Christ.  So the Bible isn't "running from this."  Observe:

Acts 5:27-42
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council
[Sanhedrin]: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this
[Jesus'] name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine [Christianity], and intend to bring this man's [Jesus'] blood upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.  KJV

    You might also notice that by the words of the learned Jew, Gamaliel, that Jesus is true, for even this respected (by them) Pharisee and Sanhedrin member, Gamaliel stated "for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God" (verse 38b-39 above).  Well, as we see, they were not able to overthrow it; in fact, Christianity became (and remains) the dominant religion on the planet.  And the "Jews," not hearkening to their learned elder, Gamaliel, have been "found even to fight against God" then and ever since then.

    And Christians today need to "get out of bed" with them.  If they deny Jesus Christ then they are not your friend, they are not "nice misled religious people," they are as the heathen—nay, worse; for they blaspheme Christ daily.  This offence few heathen even dare to do.  Even Koran-knowledgeable Muslims do not blaspheme Christ's name, saying rather, "peace be upon his name," whenever speaking of Him.  The Hindus have no words of blasphemy at Jesus Christ.  But those enemies of God, the "Jews" in their Babylonian Talmud call Jesus balaam and many other worse things not fit to print before the faithful!  (See, THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TALMUD:  A Documented Exposé of Jewish Supremacist Hate Literature.)  Yet, today most (misled) Christians call the "Jews" God's Chosen People!  What do you suppose that God has "chosen" for those whom murdered His Son by their false witness and then obstinately declared shamelessly and fearlessly "His blood be on us, and on our children" (Mat 27:25b)?  Of more concern to the Judaized so-called Judeo-Christians of today: what do you suppose that God shall choose for you when you "biddeth him God speed" those that deny and blaspheme Lord Messiah Jesus Christ?  You needn't guess, God told us quite clearly how He feels about "clouds without water" antichrist loving Judeophiles (obviously, this does not apply to true Christians):

2 John 6-11
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not
[don't loose] those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.  KJV

    Moving on...

    And let's not forget just who these people are that are telling us that their stone "proves" Jesus to be a fraud.  It is antichrist Judaics and their attendant Atheists.  So bold are they becoming that they don't even bother to hide behind "Gentile" Fronts anymore—indicating what a late stage that we are presently are at!  And the interpretation of the tablet was done by Talmudists.  (This is not in your article, but in another article on the subject we read: "Daniel Boyarin, a professor of Talmudic culture at the University of California at Berkeley, said.... " Source.)  And I know that I don't have to tell you of the vile perversions in the Judaic's high "holy" book which they place over the Old Testament, the Jewish Babylonian Talmud.

    So I wouldn't believe a word out of one of their mouths, quite frankly.  Especially when believing what they say means that I would have to disbelieve in Jesus Christ.  God forbid!  "We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29b).  And, "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar" (Romans 3:4a).  I'd rather that they falsely call me a bigot, exclusivist, AntiSemite, on earth, than for them to call me friend in hell.

    Quite frankly, the "Jews" have been lying about Jesus since the day that they had Him murdered, and they continue to lie to this very day.  A wrenched lot they are.  When these types of frauds (this stone tablet writing) come out—and there will be many more fraudulent pieces, documents, etc, that will come out as we move towards and into the Tribulation—always remember the below handy-work of theirs.  And it doesn't matter if it is discovered to be a fraud months or years down the line—the damage is already done, doubt is cast upon Christ and God—for many never bother to follow-up  on these stories, they simply remember in the back of their minds that "there has doubt been proven" against God, Christ Jesus, and the Bible.

    Below is a prime example of the making of a Jewish fable, and it is the foundational model of their methods used down throughout time leading all the way up to today's "Political Correctness" where the truth is considered to be a lie and lies are taken for truth:

Matthew 28:5-15
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests
[the Pharisees] all the things that were done.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders
[the Sanhedrin], and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers [bribed them],
13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.  KJV

    And unto this day as well, I might add.  There comes a day when the Lord shall judge them.

    The Bible-believing Christian was warned of these type of Jewish fables (lies):

Titus 1:14
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.  KJV

    The Bible-believing Christian also knows from Scripture that many of our so-called Christian brethren shall apostatize away from the true faith and join the enemies of God, Christ, Bible, and Church:

2 Timothy 4:1-4
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  KJV

  The early servants of Christ distanced themselves from the cunning fables that denied the Messiah, and they also testified to the faithfulness and trustworthiness of the Holy Scriptures which you today find in your Bible:

2 Peter 1:12-21
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.  KJV

    Another point to consider is the below line from the article which you referenced:

"A previous paper published by the scholars Ada Yardeni and Binyamin Elitzur concluded that the most controversial lines were indecipherable."

    Okay, if the offensive words were "indecipherable," then what antichrist came up with their conclusions, and by what means?  And why has the Judaic-controlled media published the above conclusions far and wide as though they were conclusive?

indecipherable
adj.
Impossible to decipher: indecipherable handwriting; an indecipherable message.

    You asked my opinion on the find.  My opinion is that it is either a fraud or it is being fraudulently interpreted and/or fraudulently dated for the express purpose of further destroying Christ, and thus destroying Christianity.  Call it a sign of the times.

"They hated me without a cause— Jesus Christ in John 15:25b.

    Another article on the stone is here:

What's this? Now they claim a resurrection before Jesus ; 'Christians will find it shocking - a challenge to their theology'

    Antichrist Judaics need to leave Jesus Christ alone; if they want to reject the eternal life that only He can give them, then that is their decision.  But I don't like them lying about Jesus to turn away from the faith marginal, new, Biblically unlearned, or prospective Christians.  They wouldn't have the guts to do this kind of stuff to the Muslim's Mohammad—and he was a false prophet preaching a false god who is no God.  Yet Christians will not defend their Lord God, and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Thus, the Judaics act with impunity at their age old task of destroying Christianity—usually being shielded and aided by ignorant or complacent lukewarm neo-Christians who "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof" (2nd Tim 3:5a).

2 Timothy 3:5-7
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  KJV

    Don't think it odd that I state that today's neo(new)-Christians—false Christians better stated—are moving away from "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints [and faithfully recorded in God's Bible, I might add]" (Jude 3b).  See the below recent poll where we see in this twenty-first century the demise of Christianity in toto; the sad but planned result of two-thousand years of "Jewish" diligence in academia, media, and ecclesia:

    In the below article speaking of a recent poll,

1 in 3 'Christians' say 'Jesus sinned'
Barna poll shows adults develop their own beliefs,

we learn among other things that according to their own admission, among "Christians" today:

  • Half of Americans who call themselves "Christian" don't believe Satan exists,

    • [but Jesus Himself spoke with satan (Mat 4), and addressed him by name in Matt 4:10, "Get thee hence, Satan..."]

  • fully one-third are confident that Jesus sinned while on Earth,

    • [yet, Hebrews 4:15 declares that Jesus was "without sin"]

  • 40 percent say they do not have a responsibility to share their Christian faith with others,

    • [in direct disobedience to Jesus' great commission; "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15)]

  • 25 percent "dismiss the idea that the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches,"

    • [once again at odds with God, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2nd Tim 3:16)]

  •  "Americans are increasingly comfortable picking and choosing what they deem to be helpful and accurate theological views and have become comfortable discarding the rest of the teachings in the Bible,"

    • [thus fulfilling the prophecy of their own destruction contained in the very Bible that they deny and/or "pick-and-choose" from:

Isaiah 28:9-13
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. KJV
]

And most shocking of all:

  • "In the past, when most people determined their theological and moral points of view, the alternatives from which they chose were exclusively of Christian options - e.g., the Methodist point of view, the Baptist perspective, Catholic teaching, and so forth," Barna noted. "Today, Americans are more likely to pit a variety of non-Christian options against various Christian-based views. This has resulted in an abundance of unique worldviews based on personal combinations of theology drawn from a smattering of world religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam as well as secularism [Atheism]."

    • [oh, how these people are fallen!  Have they not read:

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.  KJV

    So how can we in good conscience call these people Christians?  Enough of them, they shall have their reward.  But we faithful Bible-believing Christians are not to be like them, we are to come out from them.  And not all who call themselves Christians are really Christians.  So don't blame God for their fall.  many of them go to these false-preacher mega-churches, and in a fit of emotion walk down the aisle and make an "altar call," never really being sincere making an informed choice.  How many of the millions of "Christians" that the false preachers like Billy Graham and Benny Hinn "saved" are Christians today?  I'm not judging anybody, I'm just observing.

    Moving on...

    We will close with a warning to the neo ("new" [age]) Christians who "trusted in themselves that they were righteous" (Luke 18:9b) quite apart from the Biblical teachings of God, Jesus, the prophets, and apostles, who are willingly (through laziness to study the Scriptures) allowing themselves to be led astray by satan's agents and who incorrectly haven't considered that God is willing to lose them for their offences as He was willing to lose those from before who were once faithful then fell away:

Jude 3-13
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints
[today, the only place that we can learn of this faith (doctrine) is in the Bible.  Take away the Bible = destroy the faith].
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

    Study with understanding God's written Word, the Bible, and reject the blasphemy from the mouths of lying unsaved "Jews" and their "Gentile" sycophants  To do otherwise is to welcome your own destruction.  Are we not already beginning to see the downfall of the once proud Christian America?  Separation of church and state?  it's not in the Constitution and it most certainly is not in God's Word!  But it is the new "law of the land" in all Christian Western Nations.  And let's be honest here, "separation of church and state" is not about separation of religion and state, it is separation of the CHRISTIAN religion and state.  And we better hope that God doesn't grant that wish, or we are defenseless!

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Protection from consequence; and forgiveness

 

A (female) reader writes:

Subject: Protection
Is there any accounts in the bible ~ where God protected and gave his provision to one ~ knowing that person was guilty. In other words, instead of allowing one to face the consequences ~ he protected them, and led them to a safer place....???

Answer:

Hello, you asked:

"Is there any accounts in the bible ~ where God protected and gave his provision to one ~ knowing that person was guilty. In other words, instead of allowing one to face the consequences ~ he protected them, and led them to a safer place....???"

    Yes, absolutely: you, and every Christian.  That is what Jesus Christ is to us—protection from the consequence of our sin:

1 John 2:1-2
2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation [atonement, "payment" for "sin debt"] for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.  KJV
 

1 John 4:9-10
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him [receive forgiveness for damnable sins].
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  KJV

    There are several times in the Old Testament where God did not utterly cut off His people Israel for their sins.  He did this for His namesake, for His honor, because that He had made promises to them.  One such example would be below to king David's children:

Psalms 89:30-34
30 If his [David's] children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.  KJV
 

Psalms 106:6-8
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers understood not thy [speaking to God] wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Nevertheless he [God] saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.  KJV

    But probably what you are most looking for is the below example.  In the below, apostle Paul is speaking of himself, and how that he was not punished for his deeds; for, you will remember, blasphemy was a Capital Offence (execution by God's warrant):

1 Timothy 1:12-17
12 And I [Paul] thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.  KJV

   God has been merciful to our weaknesses, and has made a way of escape for us:

1 Corinthians 10:11
13 There hath no temptation
[trial, test, putting to proof] taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer
[allow] you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [endure, overcome] it.  KJV

Matthew 19:3-8
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses
[by God] because of the hardness of your hearts suffered [allowed, permitted, made a way for] you to put away [divorce] your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.  KJV

    But there are consequences to sin.  And though God shall forgive you, others might not.  For instance, apostle Paul was oft beaten and cast into prison, though God had forgiven his grievous sin.  And take for example today, adultery: upon repentance to God in Jesus Christ' name, God shall forgive you; however, your husband may still divorce you.  But even that can be effected by prayer to God for mercy and a change of heart in others.  The same goes for landing a job or receiving the mercy of the court system, etc.  God can and so often does effect change in the hearts of others who have direct bearing on our lives and situations, that who have positions of authority or decision-making over and beyond us Christians (many times without our knowledge even).  Don't read over that lightly.  And if you've been so blessed—even at unawaresdon't neglect to take a moment upon discovery of such a blessing to thank Him.  It does mean so much to Him.  We can never ever repay Him, but what kind of children are we if we neglect to even thank our Heavenly Father? 

    I don't know what sin or misdeed that you are wrestling with, but do know this: God is faithful to His word and He said that through belief in Jesus Christ all can be saved.  And know that upon repentance your every past sin can be blotted out.  "Blotted out" means that the sin no longer exists, it is stricken from your record in Heaven.  It is as though it had never happened. 

Hebrews 10:9-23
9 Then said he
[Jesus], Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first [the Old Covenant of sacrifice for sin], that he may establish the second [the New Covenant, the New Testament--Jesus Christ].
10 By the which will we are sanctified
[purified, consecrated, made holy, cleansed] through the offering of the body [death on the cross] of Jesus Christ once for all [time].
11 And
[but] every priest [of the Old Testament Covenant] standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man
[Jesus], after he had offered one sacrifice [death on the cross] for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant
[the New Covenant, the New Testament—Jesus Christ] that I will make with them after those days [the First Advent], saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them [the giving of the Holy Spirit and the Christian conscience that follows];
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission
[pardon, freedom, forgiveness] of these [sins] is [once forgiven of a sin by Christ's sacrifice], there is no more offering [payment, debt owed, guilt uncleansed] for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus
[death on the cross],
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh
[death on the cross];
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water
["the Living Water," that is to say, Christ Jesus (John 4:9-14)].
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he
[God] is faithful that promised;)  KJV

    So often, for shame's sake, we will not release ourselves from a certain sin, we will not let it go.  Forgive yourself, God has already forgiven you the moment that you repented in Jesus Christ's name.  Why keep yourself in bondage to a sin that the Lord has forgotten?

Hebrews 2:9-18
9 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.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them
[,] who through fear of death [as the rightful consequence of sin ("
For the wages of sin is death" — Rom 6:23a)] were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he
[God] took not on him the nature of angels; but he [God] took on him the seed of Abraham [man, as Jesus].
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him
[Jesus] to be made like unto his brethren [see verse 11 above, "brethren"], that he [Jesus] might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself
[Jesus] hath suffered being tempted [Mat 4:3, etc.], he is able to succour [aid, relieve, help] them that are tempted.  KJV

Jeremiah 31:33-37
33 But this shall be the covenant [the New Covenant, the New Testament—written in the blood of Jesus Christ] that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days
[the advent of Messiah (the First Advent, it turns out], saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts [the giving of the Holy Spirit and the Christian conscience that follows]; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
["]Know the Lord["]: for they shall all know me [John 14:6-9], from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:
36
If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37 Thus saith the Lord;
If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.  KJV

    And if it is not the forgiveness of sin, per sey, that you are paining over; but rather, if it is the consequences of some action/misdeed on your part that you are worried about—maybe like getting sued for divorce, or fired, or imprisoned, or humiliated, etcthen simply pray to God in Jesus' name for help, and believe that He shall help you.  Anything beyond that is in God's hands and out of yours—and that isn't a bad place to be in.  I would much rather be at the mercy of God rather than trust in the ableness of mine own might.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

How could Cain be sent to a populated region so early in the Biblical narrative?  Where did those people of Nod come from?

 

A reader writes:

After Cain slew Able he went to (I believe Caanan) and it was populated. Where did the people come from? It doesn't seem to make sense that a city could be populated at this time.

Thanks

[Xxxxx Xxxxxx]


Answer:

Hello.  Adam and Eve were not the first two people on the Earth.  They were of the 'eighth day creation,' they were a special creation for a special purpose.  But all peoples and races of the world were created on the sixth day.  To see this fully explained through Scripture, see our: Mankind; two separate 'creation events' 

    Cain found his wife (and built a city for the people he went to live with [to rule over actually, but this later point is extrabiblical]) with the peoples of the sixth day creation who antedated (came before) Adam by at least a thousand years, closer perhaps to two thousand years. 

    For a better understanding of the early creation time, which you most likely won't hear in your church for various reasons, see the below three Bible studies, preferably in the order given below: 

    I would dare say that a working understanding of the information contained in the above three foundational Bible studies is most important—nay, necessary—for a fuller understanding of much of the Bible and the Biblical timeline and God's good and perfect purposes.  The above three studies, or rather the information drawn from the Bible contained within them, serve to shoot-down a great majority of the Bible-deniers arguments.  in other words, the doubters criticize that which they do not understand, they have been mistaught and flat out lied-to by the father of lies (satan) and his human agents. 

Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
