Ephesians 6:13-14

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about WITH TRUTH, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.

NEW GOSPEL TRACT

I've written a new Gospel tract and been busy printing several hundred of them today. It goes like this...
Who Killed Jesus Christ? By Robert Breaker III

Did you ever stop to think of the reason why Jesus Christ died on the cross? Was he even guilty? What crime did he commit? And who killed him?

THE SECULAR VIEWPOINT


The secular world says that Jesus was just a historical figure, just a mortal man who lived several thousand years ago in the Roman Empire, and who was brutally murdered and hanged on a cross to die for no reason. They claim he was nothing more than a religious teacher, and usually debase his fame and impact on the world. But what about his importance to countless millions of Christians? And have you ever stopped to wonder why we base our calendar on this man?

THE BIBLE VIEWPOINT


The Bible tells us the whole truth about Jesus Christ and his importance to man. It also tells us why he died. In Matthew 1:23 we read of the prophecy of Jesus’ birth: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Here we are told that Jesus Christ was GOD born of a virgin sent to earth! Of the Deity of Christ there can be no doubt, for 1 Timothy 3:16 proclaims: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Jesus Christ—God manifest in the flesh—came to this sin-sick world and walked among us for 33 years. He, the sinless Creator, came to his Creation, but was rejected: “In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” (John 1:1, 10, and 11) As a sinless Saviour, Jesus Christ walked this earth for one purpose—TO DIE IN OUR PLACE FOR OUR SINS: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Cor. 5:21) “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18) “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Pet. 2:24) Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross of Calvary for all our sins—the innocent for the guilty. Even Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him, said he was guiltless of any crime when he said, “I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.” (Matt. 27:4) Biblically, Jesus Christ was the SINLESS SUBSTITUTE who paid for the sins of the whole world.

YOUR VIEWPOINT


The question then is “Who is Jesus Christ to you?” To answer this question, you need to ask yourself, “Who killed Jesus Christ?” Was it the Romans? Was it the Jews? Was it Judas? Or, could it be that we are all guilty for the death of Jesus Christ? Yourself included! According to the Bible, Jesus Christ paid for the sins of the whole world: “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2) That is to say that Jesus Christ died for YOUR sins too! That means YOU ARE GUILTY of the death of Jesus Christ. You put him on the cross! You nailed his hands and feet. YOUR SINS made Jesus die! Clearly the Bible teaches that all men are sinners: “For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) But the question is, “Do you see yourself as guilty before a holy God?” God wants to save you and forgive you of all your sins, but you must realize that you killed Jesus Christ. And only he can save you. 1 Tim. 2:3-6 states: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Don’t make Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection on the cross for your sins meaningless. Accept the fact that your sins killed Jesus Christ, and receive Him by faith and the forgiveness that only he offers. Ephesians 2:8,9 proclaim: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” In what should you place your faith? The Bible answer is found in Romans 3:25: “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.” Why not trust the blood of Jesus Christ shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of your sins and to give you eternal life?

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23

TRUTH STANDS ALONE MINISTRIES 740 MIKE GIBSON LANE MILTON, FLORIDA 32583



7 years of tribulation or only 3 1/2 years?

Some modern Fundamentalist Scholars are beginning to adopt and teach a rather ridiculous theory that the tribulation (of which the Scriptures speak of as a seven-year period of time in which the anti-christ rules on earth) is now half over. That is to say, they are propogating the theory that there is only 3 1/2 years of the tribulation left, and not seven as the scriptures plainly teach.


Oh, they might all dogmatically agree that there has to be 7 total years of tribulation, as Daniel 9:25-27 foretells. However, they claim that doesn't have to be seven CONSECUTIVE years. They state those 7 years have been divided into two (three and a half years each), which take place several thousand years apart.


Some claim the tribulation period started during Jesus' earthly ministry, which the scriptures plainly do teach where three and a half years long. Others claim that the tribulation began after Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, as his apostles preached for 3 1/2 years. They then claim the tribulation stopped, and God went to the church age, and will start the tribulation clock again after the rapture, where it will end after another 3 1/2 years.


But is this possible? Is it even plausible? What saith the scriptures?


All we have to do is look at two verses of scripture in the book of Revelation to see that 7 years MUST be all FUTURE. That is to say, THERE MUST BE SEVEN YEARS STILL TO COME OF TRIBULATION.


The first is Revelation 13:5. Let us look at the context as well as we read Rev. 13:3-5


" 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."


Notice in verse five the simple little word CONTINUE. For someone to continue something means they must have already been doing something. The context is of the anti-christ. And we read he has a fatal wound, and is resurreected. He then continues 42 months. How long is 42 months? It is exactly 3 1/2 years. That means he was already ruling for 3 1/2 years, and after his deadly wound is healed, he reigns ANOTHER 3 1/2 YEARS! That makes 7 years all future as all this happens after the RAPTURE.


Let us also look at Rev. 11:2. In context we'll read verse one as well:



" 1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."



Here we read of the Jews in verse one. They are WORSHIPPING in the TEMPLE in Jerusalem. But then in verse two we read that the Gentiles will kick them out, and they will own the area for 42 months. Again that's exactly 3 1/2 years.


So, when do the Jews get to worship in the temple? They must be allowed time to do so. Are they worshipping there now? Nope! But they do have all the stones, instruments, clothing, etc. ready to worship in the temple. All that's needed is the Rapture to come, so the Jews can rebuild and worship for 3 1/2 years. THEN, and only then, will the Gentiles, under the Anti-christ, cast them out and the anti-christ will sit on the throne in Jerusalem claiming he's god and he'll reign three and a half years. Anyway you look at it, you have to have 7 years in the future of the tribulation. And this verse does good to prove just that!



This means anyone who says the rapture is half over, and three and a half years were already fulfilled during the time of Jesus or slightly thereafter have proven themselves to be apostates, and preachers of false truths. The Bible clearly teaches that the 7 years of the tribulation are still FUTURE.



Be careful of those who say only 3 1/2 years are all that's coming. Because if you miss the rapture and believe them, then you'd be waiting only 3 1/2 years for Jesus. But that's when the ant-christ comes sitting on the throne in the tribulation! Wouldn't they then be deceiving you into waiting for the anti-christ instead of waiting 7 years for Jesus to come at Armageddon? And if you really did believe there was only 3 1/2 years left, then wouldn't you accept the anti-christ as Jesus Christ? God help us!



Got only more verses that prove the 7 years is still FUTURE (after the rapture). I'd like to hear them!


THE RAPTURE

If all of a sudden, hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people just suddenly DISAPPEAR all over the world, and cannot be found, and you are terrified, not knowing what's going on. Then you should read this.


What happened was what the Bible calls the RAPTURE of the Church. All those who are truly born again (that is to say have trusted Jesus Christ as their Saviour) have been taken up to heaven with their Lord. We read of this rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:



"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."



If you are left behind after the RAPTURE, I have bad news for you. The Bible says for the next 7 years there will be tribulation in the earth. The Anti-Christ will come into power immediately, who will be a one-world GLOBAL LEADER. He will demand that all people take the mark of the beast, the 666, in the right hand or in the forehead. And he will after 3 and 1/2 years march upon Israel to Jerusalem where he will sit himself in the temple of the Jews and declare that he is god.


There will be many bad things happening on the earth. 1/3 of the grass will die. The oceans will turn to blood, and much more. You're life will be a living Hell!


(See the book of Revelation in the King James Bible for more information).


But you must choose. For if you take the mark of the beast, you will never be able to be saved. You will burn in Hell for all eternity after it's all over. But if you want to be saved, you'll have to become a follower of Jesus Christ, never take the mark of the beast, and almost certainly die as a martyr, being beheaded for your faith in Christ. Are you willing to do so? Especially when everyone else is eating and buying and selling, and you can't because you don't the mark of the beast? Your best bet is to get to Israel and go to Selah Petra where you'll be protected.


The Bible tells us that after the seven years are finished, the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and all those that went with Him at the rapture shall return, and at the battle of Armageddon Jesus will defeat the anti-christ and his armies who are trying to exterminate the Jewish people. Afterwards, Jesus Christ shall rule and reign for a thousand years upon the earth, sitting on His throne in Jerusalem.


You say, "Oh, that's all too far fetched!" Is it really?


It's not my words, it's GOD'S WORDS! You read the book of Revelation, the book of Daniel, the book of Isaiah, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and others and you'll see it's true.


Why not copy this, print it, and put it away somewhere. That way when the great DISAPPEARANCE of the saints happen, then you'll remember what was stated here is true.


It's probably not much longer. Are you prepared?


How about reading the book of Revelation tonight? Pray and ask God to show you some things. You'll be surprised, and probably scared out of your wits to know what's coming.


If you are reading this before the RAPTURE takes place, why not get saved and go at the rapture so you don't have to go through the TRIBULATION period? It's not to late!


To be saved now, it's by simple faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, who died to pay for and forgive you your sins and give you eternal life. If you trust His sacrifice on the cross, you are saved. But if you don't, and the rapture comes, you'll have to shed your own blood for Jesus and die as a martyr for the cause of Christ.



Who should give rights, GOD or GOVERNMENT?

Those who know the story of the tower of Babel know how easy it is for men to get together and try to kick God out. For those of you who don't know the story, you should really read Genesis chapter 11. There, you'll find a bunch of people from all over the world (I guess you could call them the "New World Order" of their time) coming together to build a tower to the heavens. Why would they do such a thing? It's clear in the context that they desired to kick God out and take over his position. They wanted to be gods. Or maybe I should say it this way, "They wanted their own government to be set up instead of God's."


What happened next? It's a great story! God confused their languages, and they had to disperse! Let that be a lesson to you, GLOBAL GOVERNMENT that seeks to dethrone GOD always BRINGS CONFUSION and will always be judged by GOD HIMSELF!


Thinking on this topic, I thought about our current system of Government. It's supposed to be a government, "...Of the People, By the People, and For the People." However, the greatest thing it had going for it was that it began by honoring God.


In the Declaration of Independence, we can't read two paragraphs without seeing God mentioned twice:


"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's GOD entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights..."


Not only was God honored as the CREATOR, but he was also recognized as the GIVER of RIGHTS. But oh how times have changed! Instead of listening to and obeying God's word, and finding out what rights man has according to God, the government has been systematically busy in taking away our GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS, and replacing them with GOVERNMENTAL-GIVEN RIGHTS, and in so doing, they themselves have tried to become god.


What are some examples you might ask? Let's see. We are supposed to have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, according to the very same document I quoted above (the declaration of independence). Well, the government didn't like those! So, they have given the women the right to ABORT her baby (i.e. take way its RIGHT to LIVE!) They have taken away our LIBERTIES and continue to do so on a regular basis, while claiming only they have the right to give you certain liberties. For example, prayer in the schools is taken away. But, shouldn't men have the RIGHT to pray to the very same God that our government was founded on, believing in Him to give us Rights?


When it comes to "the pursuit of happiness" this too has been changed. Originally, Jefferson wrote "life, liberty, and PROPERTY." But for some reason he scratched out the last part and changed it to "the pursuit of happiness." This is quite possibly the worst thing Jefferson ever did in his entire life! Unwittingly he took away our property rights, and is helping the Communists who don't believe in the GOD-GIVEN RIGHT to own property (see also Karl Marx, and his hatred towards property rights).

Instead of having the right to own property and defend it (i.e. with guns), the Government years ago has come along and put a PROPERTY TAX on what's yours. Do you really think it's really yours? Then just don't pay it for a few years and see what happens! Why, they will come take it away from you and you'll be left with nothing!


Nope, nothing is really yours anymore. You are just renting what you have from the government. I like God's system better, because he at least GIVES your homestead to you and lets you keep it. He even commands you to leave it to your children (and God doesn't even demand any inheritance tax!).


So, you have GOD, giving us rights, and then you have the government overthrowing, taking away, and/or weakening those rights, and then in their place giving us rights that they say we should really have. For example, they are saying healthcare is a RIGHT. I've even heard other politicians say all Americas have a RIGHT to housing.


And what about the governments creation of Animal RIGHTS, tree RIGHTS, ect. ? You'd be hard pressed to find those in the Bible. (God said man has dominion over the animals. That means MAN has the right to HUNT/KILL/ and EAT them when he wishes!)


What we have is a political war against GOD! Our founding fathers would be appauled! They believed in God, and founded the government based upon their belief in Him, gladly proclaiming that any rights they do have are because of HIM.


How different is our government now, then when it was founded. WHAT HAPPENED?


Isn't it obvious? POLITICIANS who founded our country believed in GOD, while POLITICIANS today don't, and are actively hostile towards anyone who mentions Him. They have their own agenda, and God doesn't fit into it. (If this doesn't prove there is apostasy, which the Bible prophecied would happen in the last days, I don't know what does.)


Do you have any more examples of our GOD-GIVEN rights being trampled and GOVERNMENTAL-MADE rights being substituted in their place? I'd like to hear 'em.

Evolution

The "THEORY" OF EVOLUTION is probably the greatest tool of Satan in these latter days to turn people against God. It is directly against the Bible and spits in the face of God, the Creator. One Evolutionist says it best when he says, "...the law of Christ is incompatible with the law of evolution... Nay the two laws are at war with each other!" (Quote from Sir Arthur Keith, and his book, "Evolution and Ethics.") Truly, Evolution attacks the God of the Bible, and the God of the Bible laughs at the man-made "theory" of Evolution. These two teachings are diameterically opposed to each other. So which do you believe and why? You cannot be nuetral. Each one, if true, affects you personally in some way. So which do you believe in? Christianity and the Bible are simple and to the point. They state: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Gen. 1:1). It doesn't get more simpler than that. And that's just the first verse of the Bible! Some think it far fetched to believe there is a God. So let's practice "tolerance" and "open mindedness" and look at what Evolutionists teach about the origin of all things, and see if it's "easier to understand," more "able to swallow," and "not religious." From Discover Magazine, April 2002 edition, the question is asked, "Where Did Everything Come From?" The magazine then answers, "The universe burst into SOMETHING from abosolutely NOTHING - zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely NOWHERE. How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth. His theory of inflation helps explain EVERYTHING." It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to see that this is not only silly, but COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE! I challenge anyone to grab a hand full of NOTHING, and try to make something out of it! It cannot be done! Then try to make nothing bigger. You can't do it! No, evolutionist theory is highly unbelievable. This is why it's a "religion," because it takes a lot of FAITH to believe such a silly hypothesis. Once again, there are two teachings of the origin of life: 1. God made all things. 2. NOTHING exploded, and that's how we got here! If you agree with number two, then you should really consider committing yourself to a Looney Bin! How can NOTHING explode into SOMETHING??? Think on that for a while! Let's look at the four theories of how we came into existence, and ask ourselves, "Which one takes more faith to believe?" Let's also look at them LOGICALLY, and see if we can't know for sure which is the right one. They are: 1. It has always been here. (An unproveable Theory). 2. It came about accidentally. (The Evolutionist, "Big Bang" Theory). 3. It's not really here, it's just an illusion. (The "Matrix Theory"). 4. It came about Supernaturally. (The Creationist's position). If number one is true, how do we prove it? Isn't science all about "proving" things. Isn't that the definition of the word? Seems to me I read this definition of science somewhere: Sci-ence n. [< scire, to know] 1. Systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, etc.


So how can we KNOW for sure it's always been here if we haven't always been here to know if it's true or not. And, don't you have to be able to prove it before it is declared true science? So is there anyone who's been here from the beginning to prove this statement? What? Nobody? Oh yeah, there's God, who's older than all of us, and he says that he created everything. Maybe we should listen to him. What? Not convinced? Okay, let's look at the second one. The universe came about Accidentally? Okay, I'll believe it if you can prove it. Just show me another universe that you accidentally exploded into existence. Anyone? I'm waiting... No, it's impossible to make all this accidentally. And even if you tried, then it wouldn't be an accident! You would have done it on purpose! How about that third one? It's not really here, it's just an illusion. Do I really have to comment on that one? Okay, if you don't think you are really here, pinch your rear end really hard. When you jump up and scream from pain, then you'll know you are really here! That means the first three cannot be PROVEN SCIENTIFICALLY, and therefore cannot LOGICALLY be true! That only leaves the forth one. That a supernatural DESIGNER made everything. Let's just call him God, okay. And let's believe him, because he gave us a book (the Bible) in which he told us exactly what he did! You say, I can't believe in that one! Okay, then practice your faith to believe in any one of the other three. But don't call it SCIENCE! It takes faith to believe in God, just as it takes faith not to believe in God and to accept the other three UNPROVABLE theories. However, GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVIDENCE TO PROVE HE REALLY DID CREATE ALL THINGS! HE WAS THERE! He's a first hand witness. So shouldn't you believe he created all things? If he really did (and I believe he did), then you had better be very careful! Because if he created YOU, you will have to give account to him someday at the judgment! Don't want to? Too bad. God said, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." (Rom. 14:12) Evolution is further diabolical in that it teaches men came from ANIMALS rather than the biblical account that they came from ADAM (whom God created). This means if evolution is true, and we are just animals, then we have no need for MORALS. To kill, fornicate, steal, and lie are not wrong, and we can participate in those "animal instincts." Why if Evolution is true, then we can live like the devil and do all the bad things we want, because there is not right or wrong, because there is no God and therefore no good or evil! Wow! Sounds like a great world, doesn't it? As we look at Evolution, and the fruits of that diabolical teaching, we see some of the most horrendous massacres and genocides the world has ever seen come from that teaching. Hitler's Germany killed 6 million Jews in the holocaust. Why? They believed in Evolution hook, line, and sinker. And what about those 20 million plus that Stalin murdered in Communist Russia? And what about those Columbine boys who murdered their fellow classmates? Didn't they believe in "Natural Selection? Hmmm. Maybe it shouldn't be called "Evolution" but rather "Revolution." For millions of souls have been murdered in the last hundred years by murderous followers of Evolution who have come to power and used that theory to "liquidate" (word Hitler used in killing the Jews) those who oppose their political regime, and racial ideology. Yep, under evolution, it really is "survival of the fittest." If you want to be an evolutionist, fine. You are more than welcome to believe in whatever you want. Just remember your theory is silly, and has an outrageous bloodstained past. Maybe you should consider Christianity, which teaches LOVE instead of Blood LUST! It was Jesus Christ (God manifested in the flesh) who came to this world and DIED for our sins on the cross. If you accept Him as your Saviour, your sins are forgiven and you can go to heaven with Him! But if Evolution is true, you die and that's the end of you. Maybe you should live it up then, and enjoy all the fun you can! Just remember though, "...It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." (Heb 9:27) Why do men die? Evolution cannot give you the answer. They want you to think everything is evolving into something better. Why then do we still die? Could it be the Bible is true when it gives us not only the origin of LIFE but also the origin of DEATH? Death is because of sin. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH (Rom. 6:23). Care to think this whole Evolution thing over again? Cause it might just be a lie of the DEVIL to keep you from thinking about God, the Bible, judgment, death, and eternal life. Maybe it's not Evolution at all, rather EVIL-UTION!

Republic vs Democracy

You hear politicans go back and forth using the words "Republic" and "Democracy" enterchangeably. But aren't they two very different things? And what are the differences? The United States of America was founded as a REPUBLIC. But now it's always spoken of by politicans as "Our DEMOCRACY." Why? The difference between a REPUBLIC and a DEMOCRACY is simple. In a Republic, LAWS GOVERN based on the constitution. In a Democracy, PEOPLE GOVERN based upon their opinion. (In other words, they make the laws instead of God). In the Bible, Israel is a REPUBLIC. Their entire system of government is to obey the law given by God. In the United States, we were founded a REPUBLIC. Why? Because we honored God in our founding documents, and wanted to be ruled by sound and just LAWS set up by God. But now our politicians want us to no longer be a republic, but rather a Democracy. The reason is that in a Democracy, the people can vote to change laws based on their own opinons, which oftentimes are against God and the Bible. As America becomes more ungodly, so will its laws. And "the Democracy," will eventually become a DEMONocracy, as the Bible says the anti-christ will soon come to power. If you've never read Plato's REPUBLIC, you should. He shows that every time a Republic becomes a Democracy, it will always fail and will always end up in a Dictatorship. If you are a Bible-believer, you know exactly what that dictatorship will be: The 7 year reign of the Anti-Christ. But thank God, we have a promise that Jesus will return and defeat the Anti-Christ at the battle of Armageddon, and He will then rule and reign for 1000 years in the millenium! I'm glad I'm on the winning side! How about you? It's not whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. It's whether or not you are SAVED or LOST, whether you desire to follow the LAW (the Bible) or your own OPINION (your own self-righteousness).

The word Social?

I'm hearing a lot about SOCIAL JUSTICE nowadays, and I'm getting sick of it! JUSTICE is JUSTICE, period! Why add the word SOCIAL to it?

As a matter of fact, as I started studying and thinking about it, the word "SOCIAL" always has a bad connotation! For example, when you are young, you go to a "Social" which usually includes dancing and sometimes drinking. It's a worldly party. And it's something Christians should have no part of! Not only is there "social justice" nowadays, which perverts true justice by not following the law, rather follow others opinions, there is now a SOCIAL GOSPEL which is very, very wicked, being preached in our churches. If you don't know what it is, you should find out. Then you should preach against it! (It basically makes one's physical needs more important than ones spiritual needs, the opposite of the true Gospel). And what about SOCIALISM, and SOCIALISTS. Hitler's Nazi Germany was just SOCIALISM, and the NAZI's were the Nationalized Socialist party. I find nothing good about the word "Social." Oh, and what about the term "Social workers" which oftentimes has a horrible connotation, especially to anyone who's ever had to deal with them! There's just nothing good about the words: "SOCIAL," "SOCIALISM," or SOCIALISTS. Except maybe when you are "anti-SOCIAL!" Cause that will keep you away from the socialists!

Religion and Politics

Ever notice that the people who say, "There are two things I never discuss: Religion and Politics!" are usually the most religious and political people you've ever met? Quite often people who say such things are either Athiests or Liberals. ATHIESTS Well, it takes a lot of faith to BELIEVE there is no God. In fact, to be religious means you believe in something. And athiests practice a lot of belief in their dogmatical religious views proclaiming there is no God. Did you know it takes just as much FAITH to believe there is NOT a God, as there is to believe there is a God? Think about that for a while! LIBERALS And those people who say they never talk about politics usually are the most political people I've ever met! They always have latched onto a political CAUSE which they are adamant about defending. They are usually members of the Democratic party and belong to the SEIU, PETA, ACLU, etc. My Dad told me one time something that I'll never forget. He said when someone tells you they are not "religious" or "political" they are liars, and that they are really BOTH! Because everyone is religious. Further religion has always been a part of politics and politicians have almost always used Religion for their own selfish gains. Sadly, in the day and age in which we live, we see POLITICS joining hands with RELIGION, as our government is embracing FAITH BASED GROUPS, and asking them to help GREEN the ECONOMY. Glenn Beck had a great show about this a day or two ago. For more info go to: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/40847/ http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/obamaannounceswhitehouseofficeoffaith-basedandneighborhoodpartnerships/ http://biggovernment.com/wthuston/2010/05/16/obamas-faith-based-programs-pushing-global-warming-climate-change-green-issues/ Or just search for the "partnership" of FAITH BASED INITIATIVES to see how the white house and the Ecumenical National Council of Churches have joined hands. Now religion and politics are one and the same! No longer can someone say, "I don't talk about religion and politics!" For politics is a religion! And religion is political! The new political religion is believing the lie that global warming is true, and that we need to "green" things down, and save the earth. (They say CO2 is the problem. But isn't that what trees need to breathe? Shouldn't we then maybe make more CO2 and then the trees would be truly "greener?") I've got news for you, God is not interested in saving the earth! Read the book of Revelation, and you'll see God's going to destroy the whole earth one day and make a new heaven and new earth! Nope, GOD IS ONLY INTERESTED IN SAVING MAN'S SOUL FROM HELL! Don't worry about GLOBAL WARMING, you ought to be worried about ETERNAL BURNING in Hell! Are you born again? If not, you need to be saved! I'm not interested in talking about RELIGION or POLITICS. I'm interested in talking about SALVATION! Religion defined is, "A system of works a man does to try to justifiy himself before God." But, religion won't get anyone to heaven. If you'll remember it was the RELIGIOUS crowd (the Pharisees) that killed Jesus. And, boy were they POLITICAL in going to Pontius Pilate of Rome (the government) and asking him to crucify Jesus. Salvation, however, is what a sinner takes when he realizes his sins are what put Jesus on the cross, and he stops trusting his own self-righteousness and trusts in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of his sins. Are you Religious? Congratulations, you are no better than a Pharisee. Are you Politicial? Great, you're just as bad as Pontius Pilate-a murder-who killed Jesus Christ. The question isn't are you religious or political. The big question is, "Are you saved?" If not, you must be born again, those are Jesus' words, not mine! (John chapter 3).

Carta del Imbécil

También quiero hacer mi "blog" a veces en Español. Tengo dos videos en Español en YouTube en que hablo de la Historia de la Biblia. Abajo es como me respondió un hombre que no sabe nada de los textos correctos, ni de la PRESERVACIÓN, sino sigue los textos corruptos y críticos, llenos de errores.

(I also want to do my "blog" in Spanish. I have two videos in Spanish on YouTube in which I speak about the History of the Spanish Bible. Below is how a guy responded to me who knows nothing about the right texts, or of PRESERVATION, rather only following the corrupt and critical texts, full of errors. Sus palabras que me envió por medio de YouTube... (His words que he sent me via YouTube. They are translated into English farther down). "Imbécil. NO HAY BIBLIA PURA Y CORRECTA en español, inglés, etc., solo son traducciones del griego y del hebreo. Para el Nuevo Testamento la base comparativa para determinar la mayor o menor exáctitud de la traducción, es el texto maestro Nestle Aland 27ª Edición. En cambio este hombre solo compara con el Texto Receptus de la Edad Media. Los textos críticos se basan en los manuscritos más antiguos del s.IV. Los manuscritos más antiguos, y por lo tanto DE MAYOR AUTORIDAD POR JERARQUÍA TEMPORAL, son: El Códice Sinaítico del siglo IV D.C. Ms. El Manuscrito Vaticano 1209 del siglo IV DC. El Códice Alejandrino del siglo V D.C. Y el Códice Ephraemi rescriptus del siglo V D.C. Algunos ni habían sido encontrados cuando Erasmo redactó el Textus Receptus. El texto Nestle Aland 27ª Ed. es el texto maestro con las más antiguas lecturas de los manuscritos.


Es entendible que la Reina valera o la KJV sean traducciones de la Biblia muy queridas, pero no se puede seguir endiosando al Textus Receptus, ¿no es inmoral seguir defendiendo lecturas espurias que datan a más tyardar de inicios de la Edad Media, cuando hoy tenemos manuscritos asombrosamente antiguos que nos permiten rescatar la lectura original de los Evangelios? No han leído que está prohibido "añadir o quitar" a las palabras de la revelación divina. Las mejores traducciones de la Biblia al catellano, a la luz de los manuscritos más antiguos, son: La Biblia de Jerusalén, La Biblia Latinoamericana, La Versión Moderna, la Reina-Valera 1995, la TNM con Referencias. Respecto al Antiguo Testamento es más fácil, pues se tiene a la Biblia Hebraica de Keitel, refinada con los hallazgos del Mar Muerto, es el texto maestro más exácto, aún más que la versión Masorética, tan cara a los judíos fundamentalistas.

Debemos reconocer que este hombre es heredero del fanatismo de quienes siempre han querido fosilizar a la Biblia: Los judíos solo la leían en hebreo, y despreciaron la Septuaginta. Los ortodoxos solo la leían en griego, y odiaron las traducciones al latín. Los católicos solo leían la Vulgata, y despreciaron el revisionismo de Erasmus y su Textus Receptus, y ahora los vangélicos se escandalizan con el ACTUALIZADO Nestle Aland 27ª Edición.


¡¿COMO SE ATREVE A DECIR QUE LOS TEXTOS CRÍTICOS SON CORRUPTOS SI SE BASAN EN LOS MANUSCRITOS MÄS ANTIGUOS DEL NUEVO TESTAMENTO?! Robert Breaker solo se limita a defender su traducción favorita "King James Version" en inglés. ¡¿COMO PUEDE SER ESA VERSIÖN MÄS IMPORTANTES QUE LOS MANUSCRITOS ORIGINALES?! Es simplemente un falso profeta, redomado sectarista gnorantes imbécil."







ENGLISH TRANSLATION:


"Imbecile! THERE IS NO PURE AND CORRECT BIBLE in Spanish, English, etc., only translations from the Greek and Hebrew. For the New Testament the base of comparison to determine the best and worst exact translation is the Nestle Aland 27th Edition. However, this guy [he means me] only compares with the Textus Receptus of the Middle Ages. The Critical Texts are based in the oldest manuscripts from the IV century. The oldest manuscripts and for this THE BEST AUTHORITY BY THE TEMPORAL HEIRARCHY are: The Siniaticus Codex from the IV century A.D., the Vaticanus manuscript 1209 from the IV century A.D., the Alexandrian Codex from the V century A.D. And the Ephraim Codex from the V century A.D. Some of which were not even found by Erasmus when he redacted the Textus Receptus. The Nestle Aland 27th Edition is the text with the oldest readings. It’s understandable that the Reina-Valera or the KJV are translations of the Bible very well loved, but we should not continue deifying the Textus Receptus, is it not immoral to continue defending spurious lectures that date much later than the beginning of the Middle Ages, when we have manuscripts surprisingly old that permit us to rescue the original reading of the Gospels? Have they not read that it is prohibited to “add” or “take away” from the words of divine revelation? The best translations of the Bible to Castellan Spanish, in light of the most ancient manuscripts, are: The Jerusalem Bible, The Latino-American Bible, The Modern Version, The Reina-Valera 1995, the TNM with references. In respect to the Old Testament it is much easier, for we have the Hebrew Bible of Kittle, refined with the findings of the Dead Sea [Scrolls], that is a more exact text, even more than the Masoretic version, of the Jewish Fundamentalists.

We must recognize that this man [that'd be me] is an heir of the fanaticism of those who always have wanted to fossilize the Bible: The Jews only read it in Hebrew, and despise the Septuagint. The Orthodox only read it in Greek, and hate the Latin translations. The Catholics only read the Vulgate, and loathe the revision of Erasmus and his Textus Receptus, and now the Evangelicas are scandalized with the BROUGHT UP TO DATE Nestle Aland 27th Edition.HOW CAN SOMEONE SAY THE CRITICAL TEXTS ARE CORRUPT IF THEY ARE BASED ON THE OLDEST MANUSCRITS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT?! Robert Breaker is only limited in his defense of his favorite translation the “King James” in English. HOW CAN THIS VERSION BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS? He is simply a false prophet, an ignorant sectarian imbecile!"





Yo quise responder, pero no pude. Me gustaría preguntar a aquel hombre una pregunta, "Donde estan los originales?!" Porque no existen en el día de hoy! No, los textos CRITICOS no son de Dios. Sin embargo o el texto Masoretico del A.T. en Hebrew, y el Textus Receptus en Griego viene del fuente de Dios. Esto sabemos por muchos razones. Pero el más importante es que Dios PRESERVÓ Su Palabra Pura con sus Judios y sus Cristianos. Si uno tiene una copia de la Nestle-Aland, no se halla Actos o Hechos 8:37. Y, ¡los últimos versículos de Marcos fueron quitados!




I wanted to respond, but couldn't. If I could have, I would have asked this man, "So where are the originals?" Because they do not existe today! No, the CRITICAL texts are not of God. However, the Hebrew Masoretic text of the Old Testament and the Greek Textus Receptus come for the fountain of God. We know this for many reasons. But the most important is that God PRESERVED His Pure word with the Jews and the Christians. If you have a copy of the Nestle-Aland, you will not find Acts 8:37. And, even the last verses in Mark are taken out!





When Judging Leads to Phariseeism

Many have a big problem with JUDGING others. Some claim it’s always wrong and you should never judge anyone. (They usually say, “Judge not lest ye be judged!) Others tell us we should always judge others before we even know them. In other words we should “Pre-judge” them, or practice “prejudice.” (This often times leads to racism). And then others tell us we should only judge men according to their goodness, character, and/or works they’ve done.

But what saith the scriptures? Is it right to JUDGE? And should men judge others? The apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth in the following manner in 1 Cor. 5:11-13… “But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are WITHOUT? do not ye judge them that are WITHIN? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.” Here is a direct Biblical command to Christians to JUDGE others, and not just those that are WITHOUT (outside the church) but also those which are WITHIN (other Christians).

The same Jesus who said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged,” in Matthew 7:1 is the same Jesus who in Luke 12:57, said, “Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

Clearly men are supposed to judge. Judging is not a sin. But to judge without discernment is. This is why the Lord Jesus Christ commands us John 7:24 to: “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

It’s not wrong to judge. Nor is it wrong to judge others. But it is wrong to judge poorly, and to judge mistakenly. This is why it’s important to judge others according to THE WORD OF GOD, and not according to man’s own OPINION.

Modern Christians today do not heed God’s word. They judge others based on what they DO or DON’T DO, not based on who they ARE. They have become modern Pharisees, with a prideful attitude of, “I’m better than you because I do more than you do!

But is God more interested in what a man DOES, or what a man truly IS? I must remind the reader that even the Pharisees tithed, gave alms, dressed right, spoke right, and appeared pious and spiritual in the eyes of men. But in the eyes of God, they were HYPOCRITES, and VIPERS, full of extortion, excess, uncleanness and iniquity (Mt. 23:25-28).

Thus, it’s not all about what a man DOES, but rather what a man IS. For if a man is truly born again, and loves the Lord, wouldn’t he DO what he’s supposed to for the Lord? And isn’t it possible for a person to DO something for God that’s not even saved, like the Phariees did? (See also those in Matthew 7:21-23).

With this in mind, I believe modern Fundamentalist Christians judge themselves and pride themselves in five different areas of DOING something. By DOING these things, they judge the spirituality of others as well, and make themselves something they are not, by exalting themselves with the attitude of, “I’m better than you are because I do these things and you don’t!

Sadly, the things they DO are often done with the wrong motive and the wrong heart. Yet they expect, as did the Pharisees, that God reward them for their labour.

Let us look at the five things modern Fundamentalists and evangelicals judge themselves on: 1. SOUL WINNING Almost all modern Fundamentalists proclaim the most important thing a Christian can do is win a soul to Jesus Christ. Not only do they pressure those in their churches to do this, but they also criticize and make others feel bad for not doing so. Eventually, a “Nicolaity System” (something God hates) is set up which divides into two classes the Christian masses. Those who win souls, and those who don’t. If you are not one of those who don’t or maybe haven’t for a long time, then you are often ridiculed, debased, and preached against. For you are not as “spiritual” as they are.

But never do the modern Funda-pharisees stop to think why others don’t win souls. It might not be “rebellion” against God at all, but rather for other reasons. It could be they don’t know how, or they have a small circle of influence, or they are not out-going people. Others might be bashful, unmotivated, sick. Or someone might just have witnessed to everyone they know so many times, they don’t want to hear it anymore.

Does God count two separate classes of Christians? Are they: 1. Those who are better than others because they win souls and 2. Those who are terrible Christians because they don’t win any? Most certainly not!

Years ago, a famous preacher mounted the pulpit and asked one simple question before his sermon, “What’s more important: Winning Souls or Pleasing God?” A debate quickly ensued in the congregation with one group yelling, “Winning Souls!” While the other screamed, “Pleasing God!” The preacher allowed the debate to heat up, before finally raising his hand and calling for silence and then asking one final question before beginning his sermon, “If you are pleasing God, then wouldn’t you eventually win a soul!

Just because people go “soul winning” doesn’t make them spiritual. Even the Pharisees went after souls to win them to their cause. But Jesus warned us of those ungodly religious people with the words, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” (Matt. 23:15) It’s not the mere FACT that a person goes out to win souls that makes him spiritual. For the “soul winner” could be preaching another Gospel, or even deceiving people with a false hope (sadly this happens often in Fundamentalism and evangelical circles). No, what makes a person spiritual is whether or not they are actively LIVING the GOSPEL, and practicing what they preach (something the Pharisees did not do).

Further, winning a person to Jesus is not a set time in the week you set aside for God, in which you go out for an hour or two and try to win a soul to Christ. Rather, it is you living for Jesus ALL WEEK LONG, and trying to find opportunities continually to plant a Gospel seed, and tell someone how to be saved!

The apostle Paul did not go soul winning once or twice a week, and then brag to his churches because he did so. Nay, instead, he traveled the world over and preached to every soul that came across his path!

Just because someone brags about being a soul winner, doesn’t mean anything. Nor does it make them any better than any other Christian or some kind of “spiritual giant.” If anything, it shows they are prideful, as they brag on doing something once or twice a week, that instead they should be doing EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES! STREET PREACHING Modern Fundamentalists are becoming more aggressive in their means to carry the Gospel to the lost and dying world. Using verses like Acts 20:20, (proclaiming a 20/20 vision), they judge themselves and others based upon whether or not they actively engage in preaching on the street. But is a man super-spiritual just because he stands on a street corner and screams at the lost and dying world?

Before going further, let me state I am not against Street preaching. I enjoy boldly proclaiming the Gospel and the word of God to anyone who will listen in any way I can. However, I am very much against any Christian who tries to proclaim himself a better Christian than I am because he preaches on the street and I don’t (although I do from time to time).

Just preaching on the street doesn’t make one Christian better than another. What might be one man’s calling is not always that of another. And, if a person’s love and devotion for Jesus Christ is judged by how much he street preaches, then where does that leave women, who are not allowed by modern fundamentalists to preach on the street? Are we to believe men are more spiritual than women? Nay, there is many a Christian mother who may never have won a soul in her life, and never shared the Gospel with others, but she has a huge reward in heaven for she had an earnest and fervent prayer life. Many a Christian woman has raised her children by reading them the Bible every morning and every night, stressing their need to please Jesus. This prayer and constant devotion to their children has led to many a son or daughter finding Jesus Christ as their Saviour at a later age.

Modern Street preaching isn’t always the same as that of old, nor is it’s content. Instead of preaching the Gospel and the words of God, many Street preachers have gone to “meddling” and often times make people MAD instead of giving them the GLAD Tidings of eternal life. This leads to some people being “turned off” by what they look at as “hate speech.” Many street preachers can further aggravate the situation by focusing negatively on the condemnation of man instead of joyfully proclaiming the love of God and salvation by faith in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ.

Oftentimes, street preachers lose contact with the very world they try to reach, proclaiming themselves “heroes of the faith” and “God’s S.W.A.T Team” instead of viewing themselves as the Biblical sinners they are that are just “servants” and “ministers” of Christ, sent to preach the Gospel to a lost and dying world. The simple fact is that street preaching should be about JESUS and not about the PREACHER.

Sadly, many are focusing on politics, and their “right to preach,” rather than on simply pointing sinners to Jesus Christ alone, and faith in His shed blood. Like the modern Pharisees of old, they preach to be seen of men, rather than to be discreetly rewarded by God in the last day. SELF-SACRIFICE Many a Christian Pharisee Fundamentalist prides himself on how much he’s given to God. Because he’s given more than others, he makes himself more important to God, the Church, and to the cause of Christ. Although he won’t state it publicly, his heart proclaims, “Look how important I am, and how they couldn’t make it without me and what I’ve done!

But God doesn’t need anyone. He wants men to help him, but he wants them to do so out of love, not out of boasting.

Just because one Christian does more than another doesn’t mean he’s more spiritual than another, or that he’s worth more. Even the apostle Paul makes this clear in 2 Cor 10:12: “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.”

It’s never wise to exalt one’s self or his deeds for Jesus, for in Mat 23:12, we read: “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

The attitude of “I’m more important to the body of Christ, because I do more for Jesus,” is a atrocious viewpoint with horrendous results. Many a church has been destroyed in a church split, by people who feel “under appreciated” and desire to be praised for their service. As Jesus said of the Pharisees in his day, they “…love the praise of men more than the praise of God.” (John 12:43) Christians should not judge among themselves and think themselves more highly than others. Instead, they should heed the words of the apostle Paul in Phil 2:3, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” SACRIFICIAL GIVING Many a Christian today has substituted “giving” for “going” when it comes to the dispersing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rather than preach the Gospel wherever they go and in whatever they do, they would rather give money and let someone else do it for them. This oftentimes leads to them feeling good about themselves because they gave financially to the work of God.

It’s never wrong to help the preaching of the Gospel financially. But when someone does so just because they don’t want to do so themselves, then we have a problem. God wants all Christians to preach the Gospel to others daily.

But there are those Christians who give so much to the cause of Christ, they become legendary in their own right. Usually it’s doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc., who make large donations to the church. And usually, they don’t do it anonymously. They desire to have their name put on the fellowship hall, or on one of the pews, or in the hymnbooks to forever commemorate their financial gift. This leads to them being well-known as “givers” and often times elevates them to the status of “better Christian” in the eyes of poorer Christians.

But Jesus knows who the real sacrificial givers are, and usually they are not well-known, for they give out of love, and not to be seen of men. Maybe this is why Jesus said, “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.” (Matt. 6:1-4) Be careful of those who claim to be Christians, but give large amounts of money to the church. Especially, when they are rewarded for it of men. For Jesus spoke of a woman who gave much more than any of those: “And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.” (Matt. 6:1-4) STARVATION (i.e. Fasting) In modern Christianity a class system has been set up dividing Christians into two or more classes: 1. Those who are regular Christians, and 2. Those who are extraordinary Christians who do more for Jesus than others by doing outrageous and sacrificial things.

Fasting is one of those many sacrifices that modern Christians use to exalt themselves in the eyes of others. To FAST, especially in our day and age of fast food, and gospel blimps, in looked upon as the “last resort” in many Christian circles. And those who do it are viewed as “extremists” who are hazarding their lives for the cause of Christ. When someone fasts, other Christians, especially young ones, look at it as almost the ultimate sacrifice for Jesus, giving up one’s own sustenance in the name of Christ.

But fasting is not always for spiritual reasons. Sometimes it’s for health reasons. Other times it’s just to lose weight. Just because someone fasts, doesn’t necessarily make them more spiritual. Even the Pharisees fasted, but according to Jesus, they did not do so for Him, rather to be seen of men: “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” (Matt. 6:16-18) IN CONCLUSION Just because someone claims to be a soul winner, a street preacher, full of self-sacrifice and sacrificial giving for Jesus while they fast often, doesn’t mean they are super-spiritual. In fact, their lack of humility and constant BRAGGING ABOUT IT, often shows their motive is to be seen of men, and not to be secretly rewarded by God. They are modern-day Pharisees striving to get what they can out of their service for God, whether that be money, praise, recognition, or fame.

Usually those Christians who pride themselves upon what they DO and strive to make themselves LOOK BETTER than other Christians, do so because they are SELF-RIGHTEOUS, not because they truly love the Lord Jesus Christ. For if they did love Him, they would do all those things anyway, exalting Jesus rather than themselves.

Their system of judging others based upon what they themselves DO, shows they are nothing more than the Pharisees of old. They further pride themselves upon their works and constrain others to be more like THEM! But shouldn’t Christianity brag on JESUS, and stress one’s need to be more like HIM in all he says and does?

Phariseeism, leads to MEN WORSHIP, while being a true disciple of Jesus Christ leads to JESUS WORSHIP!

Do you judge yourself in light of others, or do you judge yourself in light of Jesus Christ and what he’s done for you at Calvary? Are you a PHARI-SEE or can you rather SEE the importance of exalting Jesus Christ instead of exalting man?

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. (Rom 14:12-13)

Greetings entire world, My name is Robert R. Breaker III, missionary evangelist to the Spanish-Speaking people. My friend Travis is to blame for this blog. He has told me how important it is in these last days to disperse truth to a lost and dying world, and how many people participate and read this whole "blog" thing. He adamantly stressed my need to become a "blogger." (Is it just me, or does the word "blog" sound kinda stupid!) So now I'm "blogging." Whoopee! The neatest thing Travis said was how the Founding Fathers of our country wrote Treatises, Books, Articles, and much more, sharing their opinions with others. In fact, if they were alive today, they would probably be Bloggers as well. (Would that make them our Founding Bloggers?) So I plan to post my thoughts, sermons, bible notes, articles, and many other such like things as I join the whole BLOGGING movement. If you don't like anything I say, feel free to BLOG back or start your own Blog. But if you only want to criticize, then please SHUT YOUR BLOGGING TRAP! My desire is to stand for TRUTH. What is truth, you might say sniddingly along with Pontius Pilate? The answer: JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and the LIFE (John 14:6). And his word, THE KING JAMES BIBLE ONLY is TRUTH (John 17:17). My emphasis will be to stand for TRUTH (uh, hence the blog name), amidst a day and age of a bunch of blogging doubters, scoffers, athiests, reprobates, and agnostics. Truly their hatred towards God and constant ridicule of the things of God only prove Jesus Christ is coming back sooner! (See 2 Peter 1:3-4) Clearly, the FOOL has said in his heart, "There is no God!" (Ps. 14:1) I'm also going to write about all the APOSTASY I see in modern Fundamentalists circles, especially in Independent Baptist circles (my affiliation), as I see much Phariseeism, tradition, and apostasy in those ranks as well. It's sad, as they claim so dogmatically to be the last denomination on earth that stands for truth. Yet, many of them have fallen into false doctrine and don't even know it. They claim to be Bible Believers, but most of them aren't even Bible readers! And even less of those are even Bible Doers! Jesus said "tradition" makes the word of God of none effect (Mark 7:13) This is exactly what the Pharisees were guilty of, as they apostasized and made their traditions more important than following God's word. Modern day Pharisees do the same, as often times "Baptist tradition" is preached, practiced, and propagated instead of sound Bible doctrine. Hear me out! Not all that Baptists believe is bad. But when Baptist tradition goes against the word of God, I believe we ought to throw it out the blogging window and follow the word of God alone! I'm sure people will call me a renegade and a rouge. (Funny how they love Sarah Palin for going rouge against corrupt politics and politicians, but they hate a preacher who wants to preach against apostasy and apostate preachers!) All I want to do is PREACH RIGHT, LIVE RIGHT, DO RIGHT, and FOLLOW MY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. I'm a BIBLE BELIEVER, who bases his beliefs on the word of God (the King James Bible in English), and not on what Brother so and so says. I'm not interested in men worship (which is what most of modern Fundamentalism is), rather following THE MAN CHRIST JESUS (who was GOD manifested in the flesh that died on the cross to forgive me of my sins). So I hope you enjoy this blog. If not, go Blog yourself! (I mean that nicely!) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Tim. 4:2-4)
