When Jews Work With Gentiles

By Pastor Bill Taylor

A publication of My Father's House, inc. Volume 9/Issue 11

Prophecy:  It’s written, when the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him! I tell you that standard is Christ and that standard is Christ in you! So stand fast, be strong and hold onto your confession of faith and to your testimony! Don’t be troubled but have joy in this. The enemy is raging because you’re doing right! You’re standing and being made approved of Me even before their eyes! In My eyes, My kingdom, before the angels and the cloud of witnesses the standard is known and these enemies, who think they’re doing Me a service when they persecute you, have been found unworthy! They don’t look like My Son. They don’t have the testimony of My Son and as it’s written, vengeance is Mine, I’ll repay! But you My sons keep obeying Me and fellowshipping with Me and each other for I’m letting your enemies and Mine store up wrath to the uttermost and then comes judgment! But you remember it’s also written, He who overcomes shall inherit all things and I’ll be his God and he shall be My son. Thus saith the Lord. (Prophecy delivered at “My Father’s House”)

 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised – Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the farthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.” (Jer9:25-26)

 They are truly strange bedfellows when Jews join with Gentiles to accomplish sectarian purposes. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, “and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” (Matt20:18-19) Jesus said He’d be turned over to the Gentiles as He was. There was a partnership between the Jew and the Gentile in the crucifixion of Christ. Of course this means the Jews aren’t the only guilty ones but the Gentiles also are compliant in the murder of God. Although Christ said to Pilate, “the one who brought Me to you has the greater guilt.” (Jn19:11) still there’s an evil partnership between the “carnal” believer (Jew) and the unbeliever (gentile) and such partnerships continue today.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children--But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. (Gal 4:23,25,29) Our enemies as true Christians aren’t just unbelievers but often worse than unbelievers are the carnal false christians whose religion is of the flesh and not the Spirit. Such have often proven to be more vicious than any unbelievers even as the Jews were worse enemies to Jesus and the early Church than the Romans. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! (Matt23:37) It’s not the gentile unbelievers who persecute and kill the prophets here. But the Jews also had an uncanny ability to stir up the gentiles against the Godly, as the carnal false christians often try to do today. Yet you’ll never see true Spiritual Christians in partnership with “gentiles” or unbelievers in trying to accomplish some religious or political purpose! “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the LORD, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; who walk to go down to Egypt, and have not asked My advice, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your humiliation.” (Is30:1-3) Real Christians go to God.

There are many examples instructing true believers to reject ungodly alliances in the scriptures. Ezra is actually friendly with the gentile king Artaxerxes and is deputized by him to rebuild the Temple. Yet Ezra refuses to ask for armed guards even when he’s carrying the sacred temple treasures back to Jerusalem because it would be an embarrassment for him to have said to the king that the Lord protects the righteous and then have to ask the gentile king to protect him. Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions. For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer. (Ezra8:21-23) Paul says, Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? (1Cor6:1,4) Some Corinthians were using secular judges to settle disputes between Christians and Paul is very harsh in his rebuke. “Are you so stupid as to seek judgments from people we regard to have the least ability to judge things rightly? Because if they’ve rejected God how can they have any wisdom? Yet you’re asking them to settle disputes between the people of God who should have the wisdom of Jesus Christ in them? Can’t you find a wise Christian to settle your disputes?”

Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the descendants of the captivity were building the temple of the LORD God of Israel, they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers’ houses, and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.” But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers’ houses of Israel said to them, “You may do nothing with us to build a house for our God; but we alone will build to the LORD God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.” (Ezra4:1-3) How can unbelievers or enemies of God help in doing the work of building God’s house? As God’s enemies they could only be working against God, to secretly corrupt and defile His house. Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers’ houses, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them to be three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield. He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver. But a man of God came to him, saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel -- not with any of the children of Ephraim.” (2Chr25:5-7) Amaziah is forbidden to go to war in alliance with God’s enemies including disobedient Israel. Likewise for helping wicked “Ahab” at Ramoth Gilead where Jehoshaphat is almost killed Jehu rebukes him. (2Chr18:31) Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned safely to his house in Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Therefore the wrath of the LORD is upon you.” (2Chr19:1-2) Later Jehoshaphat enters into a partnership with wicked king Ahaziah. After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted very wickedly. And he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber. But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish. (2Chr20:35-37) It’s plain to see from these and many other such examples that true believers aren’t to be joined with wicked unbelievers in attempting to accomplish Godly purposes. Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate,” says the Lord. “Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters,” Says the LORD Almighty. (2Cor6:14-18)

It isn’t an exception to this when Solomon hires Hiram to prepare cedar logs for the temple, for here the alliance is practical economics. I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral. (1Cor5:9-11) In obtaining necessities of life and material goods, commerce with “unbelievers” is permitted. But in pursuing Spiritual agendas pertaining to the will of God and fighting against God’s enemies we’re never to rely on or seek help from unbelievers.

The statement I’m making now is true and it’s from God concerning the “national day of prayer” which should be a fulfilling of, Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (1Tim2:1-2) But regarding this the Lord informed me what’s actually happening often isn’t in accordance with the scriptures. What many so called “christians” are actually doing is similar to what the Jews did in crucifying Jesus by trying to use political power to influence secular authorities toward their sectarian religious views. Along that line we’ve had much personal experience. For example: in one prison where we minister we were harassed by a very wicked Baptist chaplain who was also an ecumenist and wanted to enforce his personal philosophies on all the “christian” inmates and volunteers in the prison. He hated us because we spoke the truth about these things and many other heretical Baptist beliefs. In attempting to remove us he would often resort to nefarious and even unlawful methods. Like the Pharisees who sent men to “test” Jesus, he actually recruited “spies” to come to our Glory Of His Grace bible studies and gather information against us. When they couldn’t find things to complain about they’d make things up. This chaplain used his office and position to intimidate men who attended our meetings and he tried to discourage many from coming. He recruited evil men to stir up opposition amongst the inmates against us. Some ex-inmates who were first hand witnesses to these things are now members of “My Father’s House.” There is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. (Lk12:2)

Finally, just like when Caiaphas was plotting against Jesus, this wicked chaplain found “false witnesses” to bring charges against me before the warden. One was a female corrections officer “Sgt R.” and the other a female volunteer. They complained they heard me preaching from 1st Timothy 2:12 where Paul says he doesn’t allow a woman to hold a teaching position of authority over a man. They said this offended them. Another “false witness” was a young Catholic inmate who came to one of our meetings and repeatedly asked me, “I’m a Catholic am I going to hell?” I answered that if he’s trusting in being a Catholic to save him that isn’t scriptural salvation, so he complained that I offended his religious beliefs. Upon such “evidence” as these the chaplain instigated the warden, who never even consulted me about these things, to remove me from the prison after 22 years of faithful volunteer service. For over 20 years my service had been without incident and even often commended by the prison leadership until this wicked Baptist chaplain arrived. Everything about this incident was similar to what Jesus suffered from the Pharisees. They were continually plotting against Him, trying to trick Him into saying something they could use against Him and even joining with Sadducees who’d been their enemies, in order to destroy Him. So the Baptists and the Catholics united against the true Christians in the prison. And then they appealed to Pilate, the “gentile warden.” It was an amazing replay of the crucifixion of Christ though on a much lesser scale. Still all the elements of the evil antichrist religionists played their usual parts.

Now according to secular laws that are meant to protect religious freedoms, the things this wicked chaplain did were illegal – but we true Christians are not generally to depend on secular laws to “straighten” things out. Rather we take our problems to God. One thing you need to know concerning most “freedom of religion” laws is the people who enforce them, lawyers and such, usually have to see a potential monetary profit in any case they may take on. Mostly they won’t uphold the law for righteousness sake but will only go to court if there’s some money in it. In cases like ours there’s rarely any monetary profit so there’s rarely any justice. Also concerning religious rights organizations that claim to uphold “christian freedoms;” these are funded by donations from mostly “carnal christians” and they’ll only protect “christian freedoms” from unbelievers. They won’t for example protect true Christians from false christians. When false christians are abusing the religious freedom laws these organizations don’t want to get involved. It’s an embarrassment for them to let the “world” see such evil things as we’ve experienced actually going on in christendom. Also they risk losing their support base if they side with Spiritual Christians against Baptists. Baptists would stop donating to them. Furthermore, if we were to go to these organizations we would be looking to the carnal christians for help against the carnal christians because there just isn’t any Spiritual Christianity in these places. Now carnal christians are “curstians” (see our previous Glory of His Grace book “Curstians not Christians”) and curstians won’t fight against themselves. “Satan doesn’t cast out satan.” So they’re of no help to us. What Spiritual Christians know is we’re seated together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, ruling and reigning with Christ. (Eph2:6;Col 3:1)

Spiritual weapons are what we use to oppose the spirits of wickedness in heavenly places. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. (2Cor10:4-5) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Eph6:12) So it’s by our authority in Christ that we brought down this chaplain and the devils he had working with him. Men like this are an example of what would happen to all of America if we were to have a government run by “carnal” religious people. The antichrist forces his religion upon others and his is a “broad way” religion that resists and opposes preaching of the “narrow way.” (Matt7:13-14) This means you’re not permitted to tell people why false religion is false or why true Christianity is true. Anything goes is the rule. And nothing is to be spoken against except believing there’s “only one true way.” That “narrow way” is of course viciously spoken against. They’ll persecute and try to destroy it. And what many of these carnal false christians are praying for and working towards is to have “christian” (curstian) supreme court judges, curstian legislatures, curstian governors, curstian congressmen so they can pass curstian laws and some of those laws would be such as; to forbid anyone to speak against a different church or someone else’s beliefs. Curstians are already doing this apart from the law. They’re doing it through public opinion and private authorities. They’re doing it in prisons, nursing homes, corporations, anywhere a rule can be made to prohibit free speech on the pretense of protecting peoples “cultural beliefs.” So they call us wicked if we speak against any other religion, particularly if we speak against false “christianity.” What hypocrites! They wouldn’t even be Baptists if Luther hadn’t spoken against the wicked Catholics in his day. There would have been no forwarding of real Christianity if Apollos and others like him couldn’t vigorously refute the Jews concerning what’s wrong with their beliefs. There’s no freedom of speech unless a republican can tell a democrat what’s defective in his policy or vice versa and it’s the very essence of freedom of speech and religion that a pentecostal can tell a Baptist or a Catholic why their religion is unscriptural and doesn’t agree with Christian truth. But the antichrist wants to take that right away and the false churches are praying they’d have power to be able to make such laws as to protect what they consider to be their “christian” (curstian) interests.

When the Spiritual Church prays for governments (1Tim2:1,2) one thing we must be praying is the authorities won’t respond to or be influenced by the antichrist’s pressures and deceits. And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. (2Thes2:6,7) We, the true saints who rule and reign with Christ are the ones who restrain until in the “rapture” we’re taken out of the way. One of our most important prayers is that God wouldn’t let the “curstian” churches pressure or influence our governments toward their wicked curstian views. All false “christians” are accursed and they can’t influence the government for good. Anything curstian “christianity” does to influence the government will turn out badly because they are led by the deceiver and don’t have God or His wisdom. They’re just like the Jews who were continually trying to influence first century governments against the early Christians. And why did these Jews have to go to the government to get their way? Because they can’t go to God. God doesn’t listen to them. They can’t pray in any way God will answer because God doesn’t hear “flesh.” So to accomplish their sectarian carnal goals they must depend on flesh such as going to “earthly” authorities and trying to influence governments to do things for them. This is what the Jews did in crucifying Jesus; they used political pressure to push Pilate into doing their will in “killing Christ” which was “illegal” for the Jews to do. From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.” (Jn19:12)

Now an important question is why does a government respond to carnal curstians when their philosophies seem so unalike? And the answer is they’re both flesh; carnal “christians” and unbelievers have an affinity for one another because even though their “beliefs” may seem different they’re unified as to their nature – they’re both flesh. As Spiritual Christians our enemy is not merely the curstians and unbelievers. Our enemy is flesh and flesh is most dangerous when it holds legal power as in secular government when “flesh” has the backing of civil law. Now the place where the flesh is most offended with true Spirituality is in carnal religion. Secular governments may have power and authority but they’re not usually bothered by what the Spiritual Church is doing. However false religion, carnal christianity is very bothered by the Spirit and they often get stirred up against whatever the Spirit is doing. They aren’t effectual in warring against the Spirit by themselves so they’ll use whatever they can to influence governments or unbelieving peoples and to stir other parties up against whatever God is doing. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (Gal 5:17) That’s why Jesus said they have the greater sin. God gave Pilate life and death authority over the people he governs and Pilate is to make decisions and use that authority for the general welfare. (Rom13:1-4) God didn’t give the Jews that authority in Jesus’ day. And it’s obvious that if He had given them such authority they’d have grossly misused it for their selfish sectarian purposes. Yet not having that “authority” the Jews attempt to use Pilate’s “authority” to accomplish their selfish purposes.

So these Jews bring Jesus to Pilate knowing He’s innocent and they pressure Pilate to use his authority wrongly against Christ and for that they have the greater sin. That’s the way with many of these false “christians” today too. They can’t gain anything by praying because they have no authority with God. God doesn’t hear them. They’re not really christians and they’re not in the Spirit, therefore when they make prayers it’s just a formality or a show. Pharisees make long prayers but God doesn’t hear their prayers. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. (Matt23:14) Muslims pray five times a day but does God hear their prayers? Buddhists make many prayers and even think they are praying when they “spin” written prayers on “prayer wheels.” Does God hear their prayers? Praying is just a superstitious ritual for such false religions. Catholics pray the rosary to “Mary” in endless vain repetitions, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” (Matt6:7) Mary doesn’t hear them. God doesn’t hear them. Prayers that are not “in Jesus’ name” God doesn’t hear. He only hears the prayers of the righteous and He only hears prayers prayed through Christ. So the only people who have the power to pray effectively are the real Spiritual Christians and what we’re seeing here is how we must use that power well lest we soon be found facing an antichrist government. If you’d like to know what an antichrist government will do consider everything they did to us at the prison, multiply it, and give them authority to not just stop our meetings but to put us in prison for what we say and ultimately kill us. In Revelations if you don’t worship the beast, take his mark and call him God, you die. The beast is flesh, and that includes fleshly christianity just as much as Judaism, as Hinduism, as Muslims. The Muslim nations are areas where religious governments are in control and these governments imprison Christians if they witness. These governments condone the killing of Muslim family members who convert to Christ. Some Muslims will stalk their Christian relatives around the world to kill them. These carnal religious governments force their religion upon the people.

But in contrast to this, brother M. had a conversation with a chaplain at his prison. After the conversation this Baptist chaplain said, “I sin everyday so I guess you wouldn’t think I’m much of a Christian” and brother M. said, “No I don’t think you’re a real Christian. But is that going to stop you from allowing me to have “My Father’s House” tapes and such?” The chaplain replied, “No, I wouldn’t interfere with your religion.” Now if he truly lives up to that he’s a chaplain who understands his job correctly. Prison chaplains aren’t there to force their religion on others but to maintain an environment where all men can practice their various religions freely. This doesn’t prohibit free speech, but it does prohibit physical interferences with free speech or the practice of other religion. Free people have a right to openly discuss what is erroneous about other religions, but not to interfere with the meetings of “erroneous” religions. Brother M.’s chaplain may not be a real Christian, but as a chaplain if he keeps his word he’s doing his job correctly. As a government funded employee he should not be using his authority to hinder or promote any religion, but he should treat them all equally. He must protect their freedom of speech, freedom to have their meetings, freedom to practice their religion. He may have his own opinion but he doesn’t have the right to push his opinions on others by using his governmental authority to promote his own beliefs against theirs. The wicked chaplain who came against me was using his “tax paid” governmental power and authority against our religion. He couldn’t use the Scriptures or Truth or sound reasoning since he doesn’t have Godly wisdom or Truth. He’s not of the Truth. Nor could he resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which we speak. (Acts6:10) So to overcome us he tried to use his power and position as a government authority, and that qualifies him as an oppressor. And that makes him guilty of many things of which the bible says those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of heaven. (1Cor6:10) Brother M.’s chaplain may have the same heretical beliefs of “once saved/always saved” etc. as the wicked chaplain who persecuted me, but brother M’s says he doesn’t believe he has the right to close down the meetings of other religions. So what kind of government should we be praying for? Curstians are praying for a government that backs them up and protects them in their beliefs and even legislates their beliefs into law. But what we really need is a government like brother M.’s chaplain espouses. A government that says it’s not their business to decide which church is right. It’s government’s business to maintain a freedom for all the religions where they can all speak the things they believe and when they disagree they can disagree peacefully and not oppress or hinder or do physical damage to somebody else.

Wherever we find curstianity in practice we see what Paul calls the concision. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. (Phil 3:2KJV) Concision is the word that the Jews used to refer to the piece of skin you threw away after circumcision. Concision speaks of what is cut off and the circumcision is what is kept. For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh (Phil 3:3) This shows the concision have confidence in the flesh and for that reason they’re often found running to fleshly things, governments and such, trying to use fleshly influences or to stir up fleshly passions in the unbelievers against the Spiritual Christians. In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ. (Col 2:11) In this sense the “concision” can refer to the carnal or fleshly “sinners” in the “church” who must be cut off and separated from the holy people. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” (Gal 4:23,28-30) Thus the concision comprise those born of the flesh who must be cast out by the Spiritual saints and will be cut off by God. For they can’t inherit with the Spiritual believers.

Now why does a Jew who is forbidden to even eat with Gentile unbelievers seek to form alliances among what he considers to be his philosophical and cultural enemies? Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. (Jn18:28) It can only be because he can find no help in God. But true Christians are commanded not to join themselves to unbelievers. Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? (2Cor6:14,15) They went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. (3Jn7) True believers find their needs are met in Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. (Col 2:9,10) And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:19) After all, we have a God and the unbelievers don’t! Why should we be asking them for help when they don’t have a God? Can’t our God handle our needs? But what we see concerning the curstians is they never really have faith their God can accomplish anything. If they don’t do it themselves, it won’t get done. So they use whatever carnal means they can to aid their fleshly causes; lies, slanders, stirring up public opinion, getting police or family services to come after us. They’ve done it all.

Before one of our church members came to us she was living in fornication with a man not her husband. When we shared the gospel with her she repented and moved out of her sinful relationship and came to live with a family in “My Father’s House” while she got back on her feet Spiritually and financially. That week policemen came to the church because her “curstian” relatives, Mormons in this case, accused us of being a cult and kidnapping her. Now she’d not even heard from her “Mormon” family for over two years while she was living in sin. And even though when she came to the true God she explained to her family why she was leaving her sinful relationship to serve the Lord – they accused us of being a cult and called the police. The reality is they cared nothing about her while she lived as a sinner, but as soon as she turned to God everything she did became “their business” and was suddenly an offense to them. They actually hated her for what she was doing when she finally took real steps to get out of sin. Such people cannot be Christians. They’re curstians who think like the world and who sin with the world. They resent it when somebody actually stops sinning and escapes from sin! They don’t believe in a God who can solve their problems or protect the “believers” so they continually resort to secular authorities to deal with “religious” issues. Because curstians think like the world and have no power with God, they go to the world for help. Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD! Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster, and will not call back His words, but will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, both he who helps will fall, and he who is helped will fall down; they all will perish together. (Is31:1-3) Of course when the secular authorities investigate us they always find there’s nothing wrong.

Another of our families had to shun their Baptist parents because they were continually slandering “My Father’s House.” So the parents called HRS (Family Services) purely out of spite. They knew their children and grandchildren were being well cared for and there was no abuse. And of course the government investigation confirmed there were no problems. But you can see the pure meanness in these wicked curstians that motivates them to lie and conspire against the holy. “But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ (Jn15:25) Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. (2Tim3:12)

“If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing, “then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you. (Deu19:16,19) God rewards you according to your works. (Rev2:23) When false witnesses come against us God says they’ll receive the same punishment they intended to bring upon us. There’s a problem in the American justice system that allows people to bear false witness and often go unpunished. But God will deal justly with the wicked. So even though there are flaws in man’s system of justice in the earth, God has no such flaws in His system. In God’s justice if you bear false witness you’ll receive exactly what you wished on the innocent. Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings and that’s the way God’s justice will be administered by Him.

The circumcision is the holy remnant and the concision are the people who’ve been cut off from Christ’s true church and Paul says, “Beware of the concision.” The concision can be very nasty towards the circumcision because they don’t like being cut off. It’s an interesting thing that the concision want to force their company upon the saints. Often they won’t leave us alone and seem to exploit every possible means to require us to associate with them. One mystery of iniquity is why they even want to associate with us, except they are demonically driven to try to pollute us with their lies and evil company? Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” (1Cor15:33) But we have both the right and the power to be separated from the wicked because they’re not of “like precious faith.” They don’t obey God and they don’t have any grounds upon which to fellowship with us because they’re “sinners” and not of the Spirit. We’re commanded by God to be separate from such people. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-- not even to eat with such a person. (1Cor5:11) Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. (1Jn3:6) Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” (2Cor6:14-17) Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. (Heb13:13) If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. (2Jn10-11) And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. (2Thes3:14) Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, (Tit3:10) “And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. (Matt18:17)

The concision think we’re taking their rights away. They think they have a “right” to be among the people who obey God when they don’t obey God. So they try to force their “law” upon us that we can’t shun them because it’s “not love to shun.” “Shunning” is not a crime against love. Sinning is a crime against love. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. (1Jn5:2) We shun those who sin and don’t repent because they don’t love God or the brethren and they have no right to be a part of Christ’s true church or to keep company with believers. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. “He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. (Jn14:15,24) For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. (1Jn5:3) Shunning is not a crime against freedom because it doesn’t take the sinner’s freedom away. He can still sin and disobey God all he wants to or if he repents and believes rightly he can be a part of the true church. But he can’t pretend he’s a brother and have fellowship with the brethren while he acts like a devil. Shunning gets him out of “our place” where he’s not behaving properly so the true saints can have the freedom to do things in the way God wants us to without wicked people interfering. But the wicked person who shows by his behavior he isn’t one of us has the freedom to go someplace else and do his wicked things. We’re not putting him in prison. Prison, after all, is societies way of “shunning,” to remove troublesome and evil people from lawful society. Does society have the right to imprison the wicked and God’s church not have any rights to remove the evil person? When we remove the sinner we’re not interfering with his freedom. But we’re not letting him interfere with our freedom to have church God’s way.

The concision hate being cut off though, and they take it as a terrible insult. They often behave like a woman scorned. And they can be very dangerous and mean in their hatred and desire for revenge. So beware of the concision! In calling them the “concision” Paul uses a very nasty word because they’re very nasty people. They’re the castaways from God’s church and that means they’re cut off from God. So don’t expect them to behave in a Godly way. It’s because they’re evil they’ve been cut off. Evil is what they are, so it’s also how they’ll behave. If they wouldn’t behave Godly while they were in God’s church they sure aren’t going to act godly once they’re outside. Like Ishmael, they’ve been cast out and they resent that Isaac is the chosen. They’re Cain versus Abel. Abel’s been received and Cain hates him for it. So beware of the concision! They don’t have the Spirit. Curstians have a nature that’s the same as unbelievers because the nature of everyone except a born again Spiritual believer is flesh. So they’re very deceived in thinking that because they profess to believe in Christ that makes them more like us than like the unbelievers. In reality they show by their actions and behavior they can get along with unbelievers very well but they can’t get along with Spiritual Christians. The flesh and the Spirit are enemies. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (Gal 5:17) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. (Rom8:7) Carnal “believers” still have the flesh nature just like unbelievers and that means their father is the devil just like all unbelievers. “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. (Jn8:44) But to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-- indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek. For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God. (Rom2:8-9;28-29)

Carnal believers and unbelievers get along quite well. They have the same father and the same nature. Carnal believers are religious flesh but they’re still flesh, whereas unbelievers are irreligious flesh but they’re also still flesh. The issue isn’t whether you say you’re a Christian or not. The issue isn’t whether you say you believe in Jesus or not. The issue is whether you’re in the flesh or the Spirit. That’s what the elect must wake up to! Our brethren are only those in the Spirit. But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” (Lk8:21) He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1Jn2:4) Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. (1Jn3:24) Those are the only brethren. Anybody in the flesh is an enemy. The enemy is the flesh. But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Gal 5:15,16) Flesh is against the Spirit in any form you find it. If it appears in a seemingly “christian” form it’s still an enemy. Flesh fights against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh so the only allies real Christians have are the Spiritual. (Gal 5:17) Even in a Spiritual church like “My Father’s House” if one of our members were to come into a service in the flesh it would mess things up. So if a carnal “believer” doesn’t repent we must cut them off. Not many today recognize the seriousness of this. But Paul is very emphatic God will allow some contact between believers and sinners who are unbelievers because if you can’t have contact with unbelievers you’d have to go out of the world. (1Cor5:10) But Paul positively forbids true believers having contact with someone who calls himself a believer who’s a “sinner.” (v11) This means God considers a sinful “believer” to be worse than an unbeliever. We must take careful heed to that. A sinful believer is worse than an unbeliever. The unbeliever at least has ignorance as an excuse but the “sinful believer” knows better and still stubbornly and even rebelliously sins. For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb10:26-31) Under the New Covenant willful sin will be punished even worse than under the Old Covenant. Yet these curstians think there’s no danger in their sinning. “Jesus will forgive everything,” they say. Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him. (Heb2:1-3) So New Covenant sinners will be punished worse because they’ve heard God Himself speak yet are disobedient, whereas Old Covenant believers have only heard angels. You can see how far from Christ’s truth these so-called “churches” are who don’t see these things and are not warning the people about them. So one curse that’s on the curstians is they live in darkness thinking there’s no danger, God won’t punish them for their sin whereas what’s in store for them is worse punishment than the Old Covenant judgments.

“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matt10:27,28) “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My law: do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their insults. (Is51:7) These scriptures indicate how seriously God expects us to stand up for His truth even if it costs us our lives. Jesus says you must lose your life to save it and of course that can be interpreted to mean we have to live for God and not live for ourselves. But it also means you must literally lose your life if necessary to obey God or you’ll lose your soul. “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Rev2:10) “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” (Mk8:38) “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matt10:28)

The martyrs knew not to deny the Lord or give up their souls to save their lives. The bible requires that of all Christians right up to the end. It isn’t something just for the early church. It’s a common fallacy of contemporary “false” christianity to believe that the times of persecuting christians have passed away, or at least the “Laodicean” American church thinks that persecutions are only for Christians in other countries but not those in the U.S.A. To believe such lies shows how little these so called “christians” know of Jesus. “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’“ (Jn15:18-25) Paul says, “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” (2Tim3:12) “Heaven and earth will pass away but God’s word will never pass away.” (Matt24:35) The Word of God allows for no exceptions to persecution. ALL WHO DESIRE TO LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS WILL SUFFER… The obvious reason why contemporary “christians” and particularly the false christians in America are not suffering persecutions is they DO NOT DESIRE TO LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST. The reasons why contemporary “christians” are not hated by the world is because they are of the world and not of Christ. Satan has developed a worldly “christianity” that most American “christians” have bought into and what they have is not of Christ and therefore they suffer no persecutions for what they have. Even in America when someone actually comes to know the truth in Christ and begins to live by it, as we have at “My Father’s House,” the persecutions begin immediately. EVEN IN AMERICA and especially in America; as we’ve been relating to you here our personal experiences in being persecuted by false christians, family, etc. Our Glory of His Grace publications go into dozens of prisons in this state and everywhere God raises up true believers in this true gospel He’s given us, persecutions begin immediately.

The great irony concerning this is the persecutions don’t come from atheists and unbelievers, but invariably they begin with the false christians; Baptists etc. The very ones who don’t believe American “christians” will be persecuted are the ones who persecute the true American Christians. This is the fulfillment of “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” (Matt23:29-36) The self-righteous false christians of America, just like the wicked Pharisees of old, have such a high opinion of themselves as God’s people they think they wouldn’t have been a party to the crucifixion of Christ had they lived in those days. The truth is, they are so ignorant of God and Christ that God sends them little Christs today and they persecute them. Thus proving they would have been party to the crucifixion of Christ had they lived in that day. So their prideful self-righteousness is exposed and God can righteously judge them for their wicked false religion.

When Jesus says pick up your cross and follow Me, He’s expecting you to be a martyr. In the Revelation Christ says there’ll be a government which causes as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. (Rev13:15) The ultimate expression of antichrist is a government that forces people to worship the false Christ or be martyred. Government enforced religion leads to emperor worship, which is what was going on in the days when John wrote the Revelation. He was being persecuted under the reign of Domitian, a wicked emperor who was also a fornicator, extortioner, and murderer. When a wicked man attains great power he’ll oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2Thes2:4) Hitler did that. He was a very real type of the antichrist. Stalin too. All tyrants have that “I am God” syndrome. And the final Revelation antichrist will do that. But we already have antichrists all around us. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1Jn2:18-19) They’ve departed “went out” from the truth and become enemies to the truth. Just like the wicked chaplain who persecuted us and tried to remove the Glory of His Grace ministry from the prison where he was employed. Wasn’t he in a sense sitting as God in the temple of God showing himself he was “God?” He must have thought whatever (wicked thing) he did to remove those who wouldn’t follow after his (wicked) programs and beliefs were justified because he’s the man. He has the power to do it, so it must be ok to do it. This is the madness of antichrist – when he acquires a position in which he can impose his will on a people who can’t or won’t fight back – his power goes to his head and he thinks he can behave as if he’s God. Yet even under such tyrants the true believers are required to stand up for God’s truth. In Revelations when the beast and the false prophet try to enforce satan’s deceits upon the peoples, even martyring the true saints, still the angel of God says, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Rev14:9-12) Here is the patience of the saints!

Most people look at the word patience and think of waiting in line until it’s your turn to purchase a hot dog or check out your groceries or take cash out of an ATM, etc. But in the bible patience often means enduring torture or waiting for a very unpleasant experience to end. In the “Martyrs Mirror” (a true history of the suffering of Christian saints) believers are described being tormented for several days, being burned and cut, beaten and then sent back to their cell to sleep on broken glass. But he who endures to the end will be saved. (Matt10:22) That’s what the word patience means here. The patience of enduring the wrath of antichrist yet refusing to bow the knee to him no matter what threats or devices he uses against you, no matter what tortures you must endure, no matter how long the affliction continues even unto death. “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Rev2:10) The patience of the true saints is they won’t give in to sin even when facing death. True Christians keep the commandments of God at all times. This is the faith of Jesus; the faith that will die before it disobeys God. The antichrist can only kill your body so don’t fear him. But what you should fear is offending God by disobeying God. (Matt10:28) If you obey God unto death, you’ll receive the crown of life. (Rev2:10) You disobey God and He’ll be ashamed of you and you’ll be tormented forever. “And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. (Rev14:11-12) This is the seriousness of true Christianity!

Most people today who falsely claim to be “christians” can’t obey God even in their ordinary activities; sleeping, shopping, eating. They can’t crucify the flesh even in the little things yet Jesus says you must give your whole life up for Me. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Gal 5:24) This is real Christianity. But these foolish curstians think Jesus is so nice He’ll forgive them even if they continue in sin and refuse to do things His way. He’ll forgive because He’s so loving He’ll never send anyone to hell who claims to believe Him. But Jesus isn’t who they think He is. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matt7:21-23) Jesus forgives real Christians when they stumble and repent. But He doesn’t forgive willful sin. (Heb10:26) He doesn’t forgive when you carelessly go on in the flesh ignoring His Word.  To the carnal, He’ll say I don’t know you because Jesus doesn’t know flesh. The ones who’ll enter into eternal glory with Him are those whose patience is such they’ll endure anything rather than disobey Him. This is the patience of the saints. Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord! (Rev14:12,13) If I’m obedient I’m blessed even if antichrist kills me. But if I disobey God even though I “live” I’m accursed! Here’s the choice “I can die blessed or live cursed.” The curstians have chosen to live cursed. They won’t obey God so they remain “sinners” who deceive themselves into believing God loves and is saving them anyway. But God says His true saints “will not disobey Me.”

Now is that a new doctrine or is that exactly what Jesus means when He says, “My sheep know My voice and they won’t follow the stranger?” (Jn10:27,5) Then who are Jesus’ sheep? They aren’t the curstians because curstians follow the stranger. Not only do they follow the stranger they make alliances with the stranger and try to stir the stranger up against the true saints. True Christians don’t follow the stranger. Curstians not only follow the stranger, they’re actually joining with and inciting the strangers to help in their wicked works. They’re doing worse than following the stranger they’re actually stirring the stranger up against Christ. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. (Matt27:20) Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. (Rev14:13) Cursed are the ones who live in disobedience. (1Cor16:22) Blessed are the ones who die in obedience that they may rest from their labors and their works follow them. (Rev14:13) If the true saint must die to obey God he does it because he’ll choose a blessed death rather than a cursed life. Jesus says, you must lose your life to save it and that’s what the true saints are doing. “These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Rev17:14) The curstians will make war with the true Christians but even unto death the saints are faithful to Christ. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev12:11)

“Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Rev2:10) Jesus requires the saints to be faithful unto death. Revelation 12:11 is in the future and yet Revelation 2:10 is 2,000 years ago. In both times the same thing is expected of the saints. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom12:1) If God is asking you to be a living sacrifice that’s a very reasonable service because He even expects you to be a dying sacrifice if necessary. You should be rejoicing if all He’s asking right now is you be a living sacrifice, which means living for Him in complete obedience.

It’s characteristic of the unbelieving Jews that they pressured the Roman Gentiles to become complicit in the crucifixion of Christ. And we see such wickedness continue again and again in the book of Acts. “Unbelieving” Jews doesn’t mean they don’t profess to believe in God or in the Messiah, what they don’t believe is that this Jesus is the Messiah. So many professing “believers” today have an unscriptural concept of “Christ” which also means they don’t believe in the real Christ. Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren. And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them, they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. (Acts14:1-2,5-6) Jews and Gentiles working together, how surprising. Jews who aren’t permitted to even eat a meal under the roof of a Gentile are working together with Gentiles to accomplish their evil agendas. It’s an absolute proof that something is totally wrong with the Jews’ relationship with God that they need to go to the “unclean” Gentiles to find allies in their fight against the Christians. Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. (Acts14:19) But the Jews who were not persuaded, (to believe in Jesus) becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.” (Acts17:5-6) There’s something very wicked going on when “religious” people align themselves with evil men to forward their “religion.”

To trouble God’s people these wicked religious “unbelievers” are quite willing to work with evil men. What do you think went on with that wicked chaplain at the prison where I ministered? He had to use evil men and false witnesses to accomplish his purposes. When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.” And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be a reason why I should bear with you. “But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters.” (Acts18:12-15) Again the Jews are coming to unbelievers, bringing lying charges before Gentile authorities in order to forward their sectarian prejudices. In Rome there are a thousand temples and a thousand different religions but this “Christian” religion we can’t abide. Everyone else can worship their way but this “Christian way” we can’t allow. Now Gallio here is like the difference between the wicked chaplain that came against me versus brother M’s chaplain. Gallio says, “don’t bring your religious laws to me. That’s not what I’m here for.” That’s what Pilate should have said too. Don’t bring your religious problems to me, I’m here to deal with criminal problems not to decide religious issues. Neither the U.S. government, nor the Florida state government are here to promote one religion over another. But that’s exactly what the Jews are trying to do. And that’s what the curstians today are trying to do. They’re trying to use secular government to enforce one religious view over others. Wise government must say no to that, “that’s not our job.”

 The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the terrible one is brought to nothing, the scornful one is consumed, and all who watch for iniquity are cut off--Who make a man an offender by a word, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just by empty words. (Is29:19-21) Curstians watch for iniquity to accuse the real Christians, they strain at gnats to try to find some charge they can bring against the righteous. This is what goes on at many Florida prisons. False christians straining at gnats to try to find something they can use to cause the corrections officers to come against the real Christians. They fulfill this scripture perfectly and God will cut them off too.

Even in the government of Absalom when Ahithophel presents an opinion and Hushai says the opinion is not good, Absalom was not so wicked as to say we’re only going to listen to one opinion. Even in Absalom’s wicked government Hushai was allowed to show why Ahithophel’s opinion wasn’t good. (2Sam17:5-14) How can you run a government, a business, or a church without good counsel? How can you determine which counsel is best if people are forbidden to speak against anybody else’s counsel? True Christians are counselors to people who want to save their souls. And we’re telling them the Baptists’ opinion isn’t good because it isn’t scriptural and can’t be of God so it won’t save them. The right to expose bad counsel and show why it’s bad can’t be taken away from us because to take that away is to take away our right to save people; the way to save people is to lead them away from lies and to the truth. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” (Acts4:19-20) In order to lead people to truth we must be able to show why the lies aren’t true. Who in their right mind would try to stop a discourse or a dialog in which opinions can be compared to one another to see which is best except the devil because he has an erroneous opinion and doesn’t want people to see it? So all these who fight against our right to testify against bad opinions are working for the devil. Righteous governments understand this. The American government at least in the beginning of the nation understood that and protected our rights to do this. But because of curstian influences our nation is becoming accursed and to be accursed means you’ve lost God’s wisdom.

The scriptures teach us the enemy of Spiritual Christianity isn’t just unbelievers but it’s flesh in any form. A so-called “christian” who’s in the flesh is a curstian and because he’s in the flesh he’s an enemy to all Spiritual believers. We must discern who our brethren and who our enemies are by whether they’re in the Spirit or in the flesh. We know no man after the flesh anymore but we know them by the Spirit. (2Cor5:16) Whenever people in the flesh come into contact with the Spiritual, there’ll be conflict, For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. (Gal 5:17) In the conflict flesh will resort to “carnal” weapons because flesh uses flesh to fight. But the Spiritual do not use flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. (2Cor10:4) By this you can discern those who are of God and those who are of satan. Satan uses flesh to fight. The Godly use Spiritual weapons. Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. (v5-6) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (Rom8:7-8) It’s not just unbelievers but even so-called “believers” if they’re in the flesh that are the enemies to the Spiritual Christians. Even if the carnal pretend to be friends their actions and activities will be detrimental whether consciously or unconsciously. Flesh can’t behave correctly. Sin is in the flesh and the sin always comes out when confronted by the Spirit. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. (Rom7:17-18)

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1Tim2:1-4) What happens when you get under an antichrist authority like the chaplain who came against me? Do the true Christians have the ability to have peaceable meetings? Do we have an environment conducive to sharing the things of God so others can be saved? When you have a bad authority the work of the gospel will be hindered and your lives will not be peaceable. So what should we be praying for concerning the authorities? That God will give us righteous authorities who will protect our rights to have peaceful gatherings to promote the gospel. One of the things we must hold up before God is, “Don’t let these wicked curstians get their way with the governments.” Because if they get their way they’ll soon be passing wicked laws that will hinder the operation of Spiritual Christianity; the evangelism and the bold preaching of God’s truth that takes place among Spiritual Christians. The first kind of laws they’ll pass will be called “dignity laws.” You’re offending a person’s “dignity” when you expose the flaws or falsehoods in their beliefs. So if you’re preaching “Christ” and you say Catholics worshipping “Mary” is unscriptural, For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. (1Tim2:5) not Mary! Then you’ve offended the dignity of Catholics and your meeting can be legally closed down. It’s issues such as these that caused much of our trouble at the prison. We’re not permitted to prove why false doctrine is false so how can we stand for God’s truth? “All beliefs must be respected as truth?” How wicked! It is the very essence of Christianity that whatever is not in agreement with the scriptures isn’t true and must be exposed. (Eph5:13) Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude3) But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. (Eph5:13) holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. (Tit1:9-11)

“Christians” so called, curstians, Catholics, protestants, ecumenists joined together with unbelievers to remove us from the prison ministry because of “dignity” issues. The wicked chaplain claimed to be permitting a diversity of religions citing the various denominations that participated with him, but they were only different in name not in belief. They all believe the same thing, “anything goes” as long as you never say that someone else’s doctrine is wrong. Jesus calls that the broad way. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. “Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matt7:13,14) So there’s no real difference between them, which is evident in how they can join hands; unbelievers, Catholics, and protestants working together for the same purpose to exclude “narrow way” Spiritual Christianity. They can get along because they’re all flesh and they’re all of satan and they’re all deceived. But flesh can’t work with God’s Spirit so they all come against the true Christians. (Gal 5:17) The first place “dignity” issues were used was 1930’s in Nazi Germany. The Nazis didn’t want to admit they were “censoring” the news so they passed laws saying if you disagree with the Furor you’re “offending his dignity” and they used these “dignity laws” to prevent news reporters from disagreeing with or expressing any opinions contrary to Hitler’s. Now little Nazi Catholics, Baptists, and such all over America are trying to enforce Hitler’s “dignity laws” in prisons, nursing homes, hospitals, schools, anyplace they can get away with it by bureaucratic mandate. Since they’re already doing this at these lower levels of authority what would they do if they attained to the highest levels of government? Then one thing true Christians ought to be praying for is, “God don’t let these antichrist “Nazis” get their way.” They’re not from God. They’re of the devil and they work for the devil. If these curstians get their way, true Christians wouldn’t be living sacrifices but dead ones. If these curstians get their way it won’t be long until the antichrist is revealed. (2Thes2:3)

Today Baptists, charismatics, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and those like them are promoting “dignity” laws whereas there wouldn’t even be any protestants if Luther had believed in “dignity laws.” Luther spoke against the sins and false doctrines of the Catholics and that’s why there are protestants today. So these very protestants are saying it’s a sin if we do what Luther did which was to expose the false church’s wickedness and bring about the reformation which is responsible for their very own existence as protestants. What hypocrisy! In Luther’s time the Catholic church behaved exactly like what we’re encountering in the false churches today. The Catholic church forced her ways on the peoples through the authority of secular government and in every way she proved she was the Babylon whore who fornicates with governments. Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, “with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. (Rev17:1-2,6) The Babylon whore represents religion that is “in bed with” secular governments in order to gain power to forward sectarian interests. That’s the same as when the Jews pushed themselves on Gentile authorities to get their way, as in using Pilate against Christ. Curstians in America are trying to get in bed with the government to get their way also. It used to be universal in western societies and in some countries it’s still going on, that the Catholic church was running governments because the authorities were all Catholics and very prone to be influenced by church policies. And the murderous Catholic church usually let the secular governments do their killing for them.  They’d tell the government this is a heretic and then turn the martyr over to the secular authorities who would kill the victims. Then the Catholics would say they are innocent and don’t have any blood on their hands because the government is doing the killing. That was exactly what the Jews did with Jesus and Pilate yet Jesus said it’s the one who delivered Me to you that has the greater sin. (Jn19:11) The false churches today are in some cases pressuring and in many ways trying to align themselves with the secular government in order to cause the authorities do the church’s will. What the curstian church in America wants to do is take us right back to the situation that prevailed under Catholicism in the Dark Ages. And you’d better understand it was the Catholic domination of government and society that created the demonic Dark Ages! What was done away with in the Protestant reformation when we stopped letting the papacy rule secular governments is exactly what the “curstians” in today’s society want to restore. They want to rule over the governments. And if they can get the governments to do their will what do you think will happen to Spiritual Christians? We already know what they are doing and trying to do to us when law is not on their side. What will they do when it is? “For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?” (Lk23:31) They will be the new killer Catholics, the neo-nazi power structure that says do it our way or you die! If they’ll do this much evil to us and even break the law to do it what will happen when the law is on their side? What are we to be praying for? “Lord don’t allow these wicked false christians, these curstians, to have influence with secular governments. We bind them in Jesus’ name (Matt18:18) that they’ll not be allowed to have their way.” We have the right to do that. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2Thes2:3-4) Which is what the wicked Baptist chaplain was doing thinking he’s God’s man in that place yet he’s breaking the law and thinking he’s doing God service. (Jn16:2) Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?” (Acts23:3) Don’t we have the right to bind such as these?

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. (2Thes2:5-6) Do you know what is restraining? For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. (2Thes2:7) One thing that restrains antichrist right now is “righteous” government. When government protects freedom it’s keeping the antichrist from doing his will but if righteous government is taken out of the way the wrath of antichrist will be revealed. So it’s incumbent upon true Christians to pray for “righteous” government; government that doesn’t favor “majority christianity,” but government that protects an environment of religious freedom for everybody in which nobody can oppress another and all can have freedom of dialog. That means free speech to express opinions, even “unpopular” opinions, and be able to discuss what is true from what is false. Pray for our government to have the wisdom to do that. Pray for divine protection that they won’t respond to the wicked pressures of the false christians, that we can bind the evil.

 Another correct interpretation of this “antichrist” scripture is the true church rules and reigns with Christ. (Col 3:1) Therefore we as the true Spiritual church are reigning in the heavenlies with Christ, and have authority wherein we can bind the antichrist and prevent or restrain him from accomplishing his purposes until we’re taken out of the way in the rapture. “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matt18:18-20) After the Spiritual Church is removed in the rapture the false church, the curstians, will face the wrath of antichrist. The very secular government who they thought was their friend will hate them and burn them with fire and destroy them. “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. (Rev17:16) The true Spiritual church is awake and in the light and able to see what’s taking place around us. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. (1Thes5:4-6) But the false church is blind and will fall into satan’s trap. The very thing they wish to do to us will be done to them. Now as the true church is in the light we can see what’s going on around us that opposes true Christianity has to be bound if we’re to accomplish the work Jesus is calling us to do. So we must do much binding and loosing in our church prayer meetings as well as praying effectually for good government in our prayer closets. And what we’re praying for is an environment where Spiritual Christianity can flourish and for that to happen carnal “christianity” must be bound and it must be kept bound because carnal “christians” are the worst enemies to Spiritual Christianity. They’re the ones who stir up secular authorities against the Spiritual. They’re the ones who try to enforce ungodly laws like the Pharisees forbidding Christ to heal on the Sabbath or the “dignity” laws of today. The curstians are the ones who must be restrained until we’re taken out of the way. And if you haven’t seen that you haven’t awakened yet. Awake you who sleep and Christ will give you light. (Eph5:14)

All authority flows from the throne of Christ which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church. (Eph1:20-22) Christ gives authority to church leadership for edification; the giving of life not death. For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed-- (2Cor10:8) Whereas government authority administers wrath. Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil…If you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. (Rom13:1-4) Spiritual church authorities are in the ministry of life – the Spirit gives life – while government authorities are in the ministry of “death” because they minister law. because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. (Rom 4:15) who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (2Cor3:6) Therefore for the Spiritual Christian to revert to government authority is a step backwards toward death and law, not forward into the better way, the Spirit of Life. God has told us to overcome evil with good (life). Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Rom12:20-21) And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” (Lk9:54-56) God will take care of the ministry of “death” personally. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” (Rom12:19) For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb10:30-31) After Herod killed James it was only a short time before God recompensed his wickedness. Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king’s country. So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died. (Acts12:20-23) When God struck Herod He did it publicly, and showed by striking him in Herod’s wicked exhibition of pride that he was indeed worthy of death. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.” (1Cor5:12-13) It’s the mission of the Church to minister life in the church. God will take care of things outside the church as needed.

When the church gets in bed with the world the church becomes the world and it’s no longer God’s church. Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” (1Cor6:16) In the Old Testament Gideon, even after he wins a great victory over Israel’s enemies, refuses to become a leader over Israel. “The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them. And they said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us!’ But the olive tree said to them, ‘Should I cease giving my oil, with which they honor God and men, and go to sway over trees?’ “Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You come and reign over us!’ But the fig tree said to them, ‘Should I cease my sweetness and my good fruit, and go to sway over trees?’ “Then the trees said to the vine, ‘You come and reign over us!’ But the vine said to them, ‘Should I cease my new wine, which cheers both God and men, and go to sway over trees?’ “Then all the trees said to the bramble, ‘You come and reign over us!’ (Judg9:8-14) The fruitful trees represent the Spiritual Christians doing too important a job in bringing forth fruit, to cease God’s good work in order to become a governmental “leader.” Likewise today those who want to use governmental authority to “serve God” are not fruitful branches in the vine of Christ but fruitless “brambles.” “Let the dead bury the dead” (Lk9:60) is Christ telling us the governments of the world will take care of the unbelievers – but the followers of Christ are to take care of God’s church. So the governments of the world are composed of spiritless branches who have nothing better to do than to “lead” or govern over spiritless men. The Spirit gives life but the law doesn’t. Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. (Gal 3:21) And the job of government is essentially to enforce laws on criminals. Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine. (1Tim1:9-10)

We as Spiritual Christians minister life. Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. (2Cor3:6-9) So the ministry of government is law which is condemnation “death” where the ministry of the Spirit is “Life.” Are “Spiritual” Christians to cease ministering life “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (Jn7:38) to enforce secular laws, death, on unbelievers?

A murderer kills a man’s body but a heretic kills his eternal soul, which is why God is so strongly against the sin of heresy and why God says we must have nothing to do with heretics. Reject a divisive man (heretic) after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned. (Tit3:10-11) If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. (2Jn10-11) Heresies destroy men’s souls, and heresy has everything to do with doctrine. So how heretical are “christians” and “churches” who reject sound doctrine? If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself. (1Tim6:3-5) For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. (Tit1:7-9)

The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things--in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility. (Tit2:3,7) Doctrine has everything to do with behavior. Therefore sound doctrine produces godly behavior in those who believe and adhere to it. Thus heretical or unsound doctrine produces ungodly behavior. And this exposes a great difference between true and false Christians – their doctrine.

For example, wicked Baptists, who believe you can’t lose your salvation even if you sin willfully (Heb10:26,27), often behave very abominably thinking it doesn’t matter, as long as they “believe” in “Jesus” God won’t punish them. Their heretical doctrine deceives them into thinking God is love in such a way that He’s not just, and they need not fear His judgment. Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD. (Jer9:23-24) The truth is God does “exercise judgment” in the earth. God’s judgment is God’s love. Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Rom13:10) Therefore if someone is doing harm to a neighbor and God is love, God’s love must stop that harm. In fact, from this verse we can see that all sin does harm to people. That’s why God must be against sin and He must work to stop sinners from sinning, harming others, either by causing them to repent unto life or judging them. And it’s because God is just you’d better not offend or harm someone who may cry out to God. For God will hear their cry and He’ll judge. “Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you are thrown into prison. (Matt5:25) “And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? (Lk18:7) “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. “If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; “and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. (Ex22:22-24)

This being so, if you want to be safe from God’s judgment then behave in such a way as to be doing good and don’t harm your neighbor. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. (Rom11:22) “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Matt7:12) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. (Rom13:3) That’s what sound doctrine teaches the believer – how to behave in a way God can bless, that does good and not harm to your neighbor. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. (Tit2:11-14) This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful. (Tit3:8,14)

Again, God has established authorities in the earth to punish the wicked who do harm to others. The authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. If you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. (Rom13:1-4) How can you believe God isn’t concerned with your behavior, whether you do bad or good, when He has even established secular authorities to punish evil? For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. (2Cor5:10-11)

The wicked false christians like the Baptists think we true Christians are evil because of what we believe since what we believe disagrees with them. It doesn’t matter that we do good they think we’re evil because we “believe wrong.” That’s antichrist’s reasoning. On the other hand we do good because of what we believe, which proves what we believe is in accordance with sound doctrine. So sound doctrine causes our behavior to be godly. The false christians however think they are acceptable to God because they “believe right” even though their behavior is abominable. “It doesn’t matter if I sin” a Baptist will say – “I believe in Jesus so I’m saved even though I sin.” Thus their faulty doctrine produces bad behavior while they believe the lie that behavior doesn’t matter to God but doctrine does. So to them believing right while behaving wrong will save you. But behaving right while believing wrong will damn you. But the bible says God will render to each one according to his deeds, eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-- indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil,
