...but what did DEACONS get to do???

Fighting against centuries of "theological thinking" (much of it if we are honest amounts to UNBELIEF), we have been convinced that much of what we read in our New Testaments doesn't "really" apply to us today. Can we 'really' live like Jesus?  Except for a rare few, most teachers don't hold out the expectation that we can do what Jesus did. And if you do, you will quickly be labeled a false teacher. (and yes, I have some experience to back my claim!) So, for the sake of argument, let's give them/you? that one. The life Jesus lived, and in particular the Kingdom power He moved in, isn't to be aspired to. An entire theology known as "Cessationism" contends that such miracles "ceased" with the death of the Apostles in the 1st Century AD. If only such scholars were familiar with the the 2nd and 3rd Centuries, because miracles continued thereby falsifying the Cessationist position. Some theologians will argue further against b...

How about the "Pastoral Silent Majority" that kept out of politics to "just teach the Word and preach the Gospel"?

There are millions of American Christians that rejected the "Obamafication" of American Christianity  LINK  - and that is to be commended! You resisted lie after Marxist lie!  You may have also resisted being duped into "NeverTrumper" Christianity  LINK  - and thankfully you had more discernment than the millions of Christians that either refused to vote (helping the godless Left) and/or voted against Trump (MORE than helping the godless Left). You were able to realize that God had a purpose in Trump's elections (which now stand at 3!) But what about your church's pulpit? What was your pastor saying from 2016 onward? During Hitler's rise to power - it has been estimated that 33% of Germany's pastors supported Adolph Hitler, and 33% opposed him. And in the middle, 33% of the pastors SAID NOTHING! It is this 3rd group that this blog post is about. In hindsight, almost every Christian I know would decry the pastors that remained SILENT. And I am sure th...

It is Time for NeverTrumper Christians to LEAVE BABYLON! (and/or Obamafied Evangelicals)

Jeremiah 50:8 -  " Flee from the midst of Babylon..." Isaiah 48:20 - "Go out from Babylon..." 2 Corinthians 6:17  -  "Therefore go out from their midst [Babylon's],  and be separate from them, says the Lord "  (quoting Isaiah 52:11) Revelation 18:4 - ..."Come out of her [Babylon], my people..." In the history of God's people, there was an actual, historical Babylonian captivity (587BC-537BC) and throughout salvation history there have been other "types" of Babylonian captivities. Both the Apostle Paul in  Second Corinthian s and the Apostle John in Revelation  exhort Christian believers to leave their particular Babylons. Paul was speaking specifically to what 1st Century believers were facing and John was prophes y ing a future Babylon system dynamic during the Great Tribulation at the end of the age before Christ's Return. In other words, every generation of Christians, heeding the command of God, are called to "le...

The Obamafication of American Christians

As the news that the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, ordered the declassification of the evidence that Barak Obama was behind the treasonous coup plot to undermine and even overthrow the first presidency of Donald Trump, millions of American Christians are soon to face an uncomfortable dilemma because they actually believed Obama to be an honorable man who served presidentially for two "scandal-free" terms.  And Obamagate, as the coup has been called, was mocked by the same Christians (including NeverTrumper ones) as a right-wing conspiracy theory held by Christian Trump supporters. They simply have believed the fake news media's reporting all along. (and still do as the same news outlets they rely upon are trying to spin things even now to defend Obama and the fake narrative they all pushed). The dilemma will only be compounded as these Christians will soon be confronted with the realization that virtually everything they believed about Obama was/...

Which Covenant - New or Old (Mosaic)? For WHO? And WHEN?

There was very little confusion about these questions in the early Church. The Apostles worked out the issues surrounding these questions . You may be familiar with their conclusions - they are contained WITHIN the New Testament. The church that followed the Apostles had a UNIFORM opinion and a UNIVERSAL answer to these questions.  There was no confusion until the 1800s when a NEW TEACHING emerged that began to question these issues. So, for literally 1800 years there was a single position amongst those who followed Jesus Christ and then a 'novel doctrine' emerged. What was the UNIFORM/UNIVERSAL opinion of the Apostles themselves and the Earliest Christians? It is summed up in this quote by the early Christian leader/theologian named Tertullian in AD207: “The epistle that we also allow to be the most decisive against Judaism, is that in which the Apostle [Paul] instructs the Galatians. For we fully admit the abolition of the ancient Law [of Moses] . We hold that it actually pro...
