Hating the Christian
Greetings everyone in these last hours of Earth's history. Lately there has been a bit of indifference in the air about the true child of God. Some of you already know what it is I am speaking about. In fact, this "air of hate" has been growing in a rather frantic pace these last few months. Personally I have seen the hatred of those that fear the Truth we preach becoming more and more bold against it. And rightly so, for not only is the media fueling their desire to hate those that preach Bible Truths, the "laws of the land" are making it appear the Governments of this world approve of hating the Christian as well.
Official definitions of hate crimes:
Typical hate crime laws criminalize the use of force, or the threat of force, against a person because they are a member of a specific, protected group. 2 Four definitions of the term "hate crime" are:
Hate Crimes Statistics Act (1990): "crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity, including where appropriate the crimes of murder, non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, aggravated assault, simple assault, intimidation, arson, and destruction, damage or vandalism of property." ( Public Law 101-275)
Bureau of Justice Administration (BJA; 1997): "hate crimes--or bias-motivated crimes--are defined as offenses motivated by hatred against a victim based on his or her race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or national origin."
Anti-Defamation League (ADL): A hate crime is "any crime committed because of the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender [male or female] or sexual orientation." 3
National Education Association (NEA): "Hate crimes and violent acts are defined as offenses motivated by hatred against a victim based on his or her beliefs or mental or physical characteristics, including race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation." 4
The word "perceived" is important, because many vicious assaults are based in error on the incorrect belief that the victim is Jewish, gay, or a member of some other group that the perpetrator hates.
Traditional hate crime legislation protects persons because of "his
race, color, religion or national origin," as in the case of the 1969 federal
hate crimes law. (18 U.S.C. Section 245). Most state laws now include additional
protected groups. Some laws are restrictive and only protect a member of a group
if she/he is involved in specific activities. For example, the current (1969)
federal law only applies if the crime happens when a person is attending a public
school or is at work or participating in one of four other "federally protected
activities."

Within the definition of "hate crimes" one can see that the governing forces identify "religion" as a source of hatred. This of course is true to an extent. But when you compare it to that of other reasons of hate, it pales in comparison. For example, notice the following statistics...
Notice something strange about this table...?
Basis of crime | 1995 data | 1996 data | 1997 data | 1998 data | 1999 data | 2000 data |
Total hate/bias crimes | 7,947 | 8,759 | 8,049 | 9,235 | 7,876 | 9,562 |
Race | 61% | 62% | 59% | 58% | 55% | 54% |
Religion | 16% | 16% | 17% | 16% | 18% | 16% |
Sexual orientation | 13% | 12% | 14% | 15% | 17% | 16% |
Ethnicity / National origin | 10% | 11% | 10% | 10% | 13% | 12% |
Disability | - | - | 0.15% | 0.3% | 0.3% | 0.4% |
Multiple bases | - | 0.07% | 0.05% | .05% | 0.1% | 0.08% |
I recall many years ago when I was in charge of the computerization of a Baptist prison ministry. (Early 90's) During this time it was made known unto ALL preachers that desired to counsel people in prison that they would NOT be allowed to speak out against the Roman Catholic church within prison walls. You could not tell a prisoner who was Catholic that he was in the church of Antichrist, and you could not tell him he had to leave that church or you would have your chaplain ID card pulled and your ministry in that prison would be stopped immediately.
Look again at those numbers up above. Notice that RACISM is the main issue regarding hate crimes? Now let me ask you this... If you could somehow identify people that preach against your "religion" as 'racists', you would be in an ideal position to gain political preeminence would you not? The numbers of hate crimes concerning RACISM are in the upper 50 and lower 60 percentile. If you add RELIGION into the mix, you stand to make racism a VERY powerful and noticable problem, one that is definitely capable of being "lobbied" and USED as a political mainstay for vote gathering. Think of it, adding 16% to the highest year of racial hate crimes would give you a very lucrative 78% in the "racism" problem. Everyone knows that "religious hate crimes" are not going to get much worse as time goes by simply because only the "confused fanatic" would seek to do harm in the name of their god. The 911 tragedy confirms that fact. Most religions on earth deplore violence, so something is needed to boost the statistics concerning religious hate crimes. Think about it... Would not numerous laws be lobbied to put a stop to such a massive problem as this? A hate crime category that shows such a high number as 78% would most definitely be considered worthy of governmental CONTROL. Would not the media as well as churches be very active in pushing their "idea's" on how to stop it? And would not every politician that seeks issues that are important enough to harvest votes play on this obvious cash crop no mater how much it is puffed up? And again, would not every entity that favors this agenda use this against any politician that would not look to it as an issue worth addressing? In other words, if your a politician that chooses to ignore this issue, you would eventually find you career in jeopardy.
With that said... read this...
Common sense is all one needs to see why the Vat of sin in Rome would declare such idiocy. They KNOW that racism is in no way connected with religious beliefs. In fact they of ALL people would know that! Some could say that racism is connected because most Muslims are of middle eastern descent, or most Synagogue attendees are Jewish. But the same argument is moot when speaking of the Roman Catholic church and it's members. Absolutely every nation on Earth today now has a Catholic church in it.
Even prophecy proves this reality...
This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the Vatican's statement regarding "racism" was a bold face lie spoken only to benefit her political agenda. How can one be considered a racist when speaking out against the Roman Church when that very church contains ALL races known to man within her walls? It's truly that simple! If a black man speaks out against the Catholic church, the Vatican cry's RACIST! Yet, many Catholics are black! If a Mexican, or an Indian, or an Italian man speaks out against Catholicism, the church yells RACIST! Yet there are Mexican's Indian's, and Italian's in that church! The lies is truly that transparent to see! Yet, the laws will be passed and the idiocy will be made law.
Can you believe it? The Vatican has twisted the Gospel preached by the Children of God Almighty into a DANGEROUS act?! An act they say can actually lead to nothing less than RACISM? To preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ exactly as Scriptures define INSTEAD of as Rome defines is now called RACISM? This has to be one of the most easy to expose bold face lies to date. STILL, many "blinded" people will ignore the obvious and grasp the lie they cherish instead. And for those that DO see the lie, there is yet another "ace up the sleeves" of Rome. The Roman Church is never satisfied with just one frontal attack as we all know from studying history. If the "racism" card doesn't hold true, the "heresy" card will do just as well...The Roman Catholic church feels it is her duty to rid those that speak out against her BY FORCE. And what is always a good way to get such force legalized? You need to get the media pumping all sorts of "antiChristian" lies so as to make the Roman Catholic agenda appealing to the lawmakers of the land. Rest assured, there WILL be religious laws in the United States a LOT sooner than you think! Why else would the following articles be flooding the media?
Christians accused of inciting hatred
A MELBOURNE Christian
group has been accused of vilifying Muslims in what could be a test case for
Victoria's controversial new race and religious hate laws.
The Islamic Council of Victoria claims the fundamentalist Catch
The Fire Ministries incited hatred against the Islamic faith during a Koran
study conference held in Surrey Hills in March.
Acting on behalf of two Muslim men and a Muslim woman who attended the conference, the Islamic Council has lodged a complaint with the Victorian Equal Opportunity Commission against Catch The Fire Ministries and two of its leaders.
...Mr Cleland said the three Muslims who attended the conference were shocked
and disturbed by what they heard.
"They felt scared for their own physical safety, because of the hatred being
incited there," Mr Cleland said. "We would not like normal Christians to be
associated with these people."
Race & Religious hate laws? What the Vatican suggests seems to have already been accepted by some. In fact, Australia has had them on the books for years. I recall when I first placed the "Presents of God ministry" website online. A small town "near" me had placed an ISP in the library of their school. The site only had a small amount of data on it because it just started out. (perhaps 200 or 300 pages) Suddenly, and completely out of the blue, the ISP was contacted by 3 Roman Catholic Lawyers from Australia telling them to shut my site down immediately. The ISP contacted me and told me they would have a "town meeting" about it that week. I assured them I had no interest in attending the meeting, but I also told them that if they decided to go along with the wishes of those Roman Catholic lawyers and shut me down, they would then have major legal ramifications to contend with pertaining to my 1st Amendment rights as a U.S. Citizen. Needless to say, they did not shut me down. However, a few months later, the Almighty "reveled" to me in prayer that it was time to seek out another ISP as soon as possible. That's when I found out about the ISP I use now. I signed up, and uploaded the site to the new location. I never deleted the old site however because many were using it and linking to it. Not two weeks later the original ISP I was using from the Library was conveniently "hacked." They were hacked in such a way that literally forced them to be shut down. The international hacker generated a massive phone bill on their end by "ghosting" the ISP as their telephone line and generated a $30,000.00+ phone bill. The FBI actually came to town to "confiscate" the hard drives so as to investigate the hacker. Then, 2 or 3 days later my new ISP was hacked in the same manner. Difference was, this ISP actually has competent hackers working there that are very knowledgeable in security matters. Needless to say, their security measures stopped the hacker before he was able to do what he did in my previous ISP. Still, the FBI had to confiscate the hard drives so as to better investigate the hacker. What happened to them? I have no clue, nor do I have any desire to know what happened.
Is this related to the Catholic lawyers from Australia? Again, no clue... but it does seem rather suspicious to say the least. BOTH ISP's hacked by the same method within days of each other? All that matters to me is that I do know who was behind the whole thing and why. Satan was involved in both instances for obvious reasons, only a fool would ignore that reality.
Not long after that, I received the now infamous 6 MILLION DOLLAR OFFER to shut presents of God ministry down to take up a different calling 'they' said was from God. (see the details here... (Presents of Godministry Offered 6M to shut down! )
So.. how far will the Papacy and it's puppets in the media and political realm go to quench the Christian?
Reducing or eliminating racism requires
people to change their
hearts and see the
"image of God" in people different from
themselves, said World Council of Churches
(WCC) Central Committee
member Naboth M. Muchopa of Zimbabwe, connexial secretary for
racial justice, Methodist Church in Great Britain, at a Feb. 2 press
briefing. The goal of anti-racism efforts should be to help
all people recognize there is "one human race," he added.
The briefing was related to the upcoming United Nations
World Conference Against
Racism, Racial Discrimination,
Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, in Durban, South
Africa,
Aug. 31 to Sept. 7, 2001. The WCC, a longtime advocate of eliminating
racism,
is contributing its international experience in
preparation for the meeting, which is the
third of its kind. The
previous two focused on apartheid in South Africa.
In preparation, the WCC has submitted a series of suggestions to the
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, for consideration. It
has also scheduled a number of consultations on racism, as has
the U.N., leading up to the international conference.
Churches have been at the forefront of fighting racism in
Europe, but are not without their own racism issues, according
to Muchopa. "Europe has accepted racism not only as a problem in
society. It is a problem in our churches ... Racism has to do
with prejudice, supported by power," Muchopa said.

It appears they will even entice United Nations via the World Council of Churches to get their desires made known. Is it any wonder the Pope was elected leader of the One World Church? Not only is he the leader of that prophesied church of Antichrist, he is also the one and ONLY "religious" representative (in the Christian world) at the UN. This allows for much easier access to the "movers and shakers" of this world that allow for his agenda to be made into law. ESPECIALLY since the pope is now the leader of the U.R. (United Religions) as of June 26, 2000. This indeed is a powerful global voice that can and will sway the political arena into enacting all the laws necessary to enforce the mark of the Roman Catholic beast. Prophetic fact is, prophecy DID say "...the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. "-Revelation 13,15
SPEAK = LEGISLATE
CAUSE = LAWS
I wonder... will the antiChristian people of this world go so far as to try and declare the Bible itself a source of hatred so as to better fuel the fires of persecution being aimed at the true Bible believer?
PHILADELPHIA (JTA) -- Irvin Borowsky now sees some light at the end of the tunnel in his 18-year campaign to modify New Testament language "excessively faulting all Jews for the suffering and execution of Jesus."
...His goals included modifying the King James version of the Bible in favor of "hate-free" texts, making the same inroads with the sources of the children's Bibles, urging hotels to replace millions of Bibles with more acceptable versions and eventually impacting on sermons discussing Jesus' life and death.
...Only the American Bible Society among 20 major publishers has been cooperative until now, but a number of children's Bible publishers have been quicker to make recommended changes, Borowsky reports.
"I see major breakthroughs coming within the next five years," Borowsky says, reminding that the "hateful anti-Judiac passages" he contests have been circulating for nearly 20 centuries.
"History will record that the scholars and the president of the American Bible Society who published the first Bible that contained no anti-Judaism in nearly 2,000 years were the first to record accurately the historical events of the first century," he concluded
(Milton Gralla, a retired journalist, is a member of JTA board of directors.)
Before you know it, the Bible some hold in their hands will be used to "prove" true Christians are hatemongers. This reminds me of an article I saw a few years ago where Roman Catholic Cardinal Bernardin more or less said the same thing...
"Bernardin and the Jews"
Cardinal Bernardin's (Catholic) lecture at Hebrew University: RE: Statements on the verse, John 8:44 Bernardin remarks: "These statements can no longer be taught as authentic doctrine or used as catechesis by contemporary Christianity and can no longer be regarded as definitive teaching. Christians no longer may believe that the words that the Jews are the children of the devil are words Jesus actually said or are the revealed word of God." Sunday April 9 1995 Daily Southtown Opinion section p.1 / Article By ~ANDREW M. GREELEY
As you can see, the Roman Catholic church has always been at the forefront of evils such as this. They make a statement, then the media picks up on it, it's paraded before the eyes of billions, then the politicians get wind of it, and before you know it, it's DONE!
Jesus was NOT "singling out" Jews as being the only evil in the Scriptures at all! In fact, HE DIRECTED HIS MINISTRY TO PREACHING TO THE JEWS the entire 3.5 years He was walking on the Earth, and then after He died, resurrected, and Ascended, His Apostles also concentrated their efforts preaching ONLY TO JEWS for the next 3.5 years! It wasn't until the Jews stoned Stephan did the prophecy see fulfillment and the message was now to be preached to the Gentiles. (See prophecy of Hosea 2:23 and then fulfillment in Acts 13:46) But seeing how the Antichrist wants the "hate agenda" to gain speed, he has all along made it a "Jewish problem" so as to generate what we see today.
Common sense affords the person the reality of these facts. ONLY Jews are being ministered too, so one would understand that only Jews would deny it as well. Still, NOT ALL the Jews denied it. It was only the haters of TRUTH that placed Christ on that cross, and it is still the Pharisidical haters of truth that push for hate laws and re-written Bibles in today's world. And when you hear of those being baptized and saved in the Gospels, WHO do you suppose these people are? Since the Lord is concentrating His efforts towards the Jewish nation, one could easily understand it would most likely be the Jewish people ACCEPTING Jesus Christ first! PLUS, were not all twelve of the Apostles Jews? Was not Christ Himself a Jew? When placing the TRUTH in the LIGHT of day, one can understand why the Jew is hated eh? It was from the house of David the Messiah arrived! And Antichrist HATES Messiah!
Using the God given gray matter you have between your ears, can you see this blunt truth? The Christian Bible identifies the evils of this World. The History books confirm the prophetic facts as well. The evil ones do NOT like being brought into the "Light of Truth" so they prefer to CENSOR Truth as best they can. The Catholic church BURNED Bibles in the dark ages as well as put the Bible on the index of forbidden books in the Council of Valenica in 1229ad. And now we see the Jewish nation seeking a "censored" Bible as well. All the world truly DOES wonder after this beast! Still... will they attempt to stop even every day run of the mill Christians from speaking of Jesus in public? Do you think it will ever get that bad?
It amazes me how every fabric of society is being broadsided by this Roman Catholic initiated hate crime agenda. And I mean EVERY fabric of society. Your not even safe on a bus!
RELIGIOUS TALK IS BUS-STOPPER, WOMAN SAYS
by Diane Brooks
Seattle Times
Snohomish County bureau
"I felt humiliated, like a criminal," she said.
Shocks, who is five months pregnant, said she was dropped off a mile from
her regular bus stop. She said she had to make a 20-minute walk home in heavy
rain, along the shoulder of the Bothell-Everett Highway in evening rush-hour
traffic.
"All I was doing was talking about Jesus Christ, which I know isn't
a crime," said Shocks, who lives in the Bothell area.

Soon it WILL be considered a crime to speak the name of Jesus Christ as He is described in Scripture. Sure, you can speak of the "Catholic" Jesus, but don't dare speak of the TRUE Jesus Christ in Scripture because that may "be conducive to hate crimes" right?
I recall when I did my very first funeral. I was threatened while on the pulpit by a son of the deceased because I refused to preach the dead man into Heaven. I saw an awesome opportunity to share the REAL Jesus and His plan for salvation to the those grieving the passing of their loved one who died in a drunken stupor. The Lord did protect me, however, this next preacher didn't fair as well...
LOXLEY, Ala. -- Authorities in Loxley, Ala., are investigating the alleged beating of a preacher by funeral mourners who didn't like his blunt eulogy. Glynis Bethel told The Associated Press that her husband -- the Rev. Orlando Bethel -- was attacked during a June 14 funeral and dragged out of the church. That's because Bethel told mourners the deceased was in Hell and that they were headed the same way. The dead man was Glynis Bethel's uncle. Orlando Bethel referred to him as a "drunkard and a fornicator." Glynis Bethel, who's also a preacher, says "the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him." She says police didn't make any arrests, so she and her husband -- who may have a broken nose -- are taking out warrants. -The Associated Press.
I agree with the "second" preacher who said, "the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him." Because the same thing "almost" happened to me. The man that was threatening me at my first funeral was drinking at the time and very obviously a drunk.
Hatred of the Truth is a major reality in today's world. I see it in the Newsgroups, email, audio chats, and on the street. Truth is NOT a very popular message in these last days. Still, it is not something that can be quenched. They couldn't stop the Apostles, and they couldn't even stop the Christians after them. Even if they burn them at the stake! Truth continued! Boiled them in oil! Truth stood firm! Buried them alive! Truth was still proclaimed! Truth bearers were also cut in half, hung from trees, skinned alive or poisoned to death. I can't even list all the ways the Roman Catholic church killed those that stood for Truth! Still, the Lord Jesus Christ STILL has His faithful Truth bearers proclaiming His wonderful and eternal Heavenly Truths for ALL to hear!
So... since torture itself won't shut Christians up, do you think the Governments will have to come up with other ways to try and control them? Don't get me wrong, the torture will never stop and nor will the martyrdoms UNTIL the plagues begin to fall and probation is closed. Sad fact is, some "Christians" are weak and unable to trust the Lord Jesus when the threat of torture or death stands before them. Rest assured, I believe that ALL those that cower in fear will be swayed by thinking... "What good can come of my death? I can better glorify the Lord alive." So, they will accept the "mark of the beast" without knowing it, and perish, thinking they are better able to serve the Lord alive. But what of the rest? They need to be controlled do they not? They need to be "rounded up" and dealt with. I wonder... do you think they will start asking for religious ID cards? We already know the "National ID" card is inevitable.
Is this no different than the STAR placed upon the clothing of the Jew by Hitler? What will this lead to? Well, picture this... A national ID is issued, they will ask you the normal questions of course that already infringe upon your privacy. But now, thanks to the media hype that uses the 911 tragedy to their advantage, they will ask for your religious denomination as well. What do you suppose will be the reasoning behind all this? TERRORISM PREVENTION no doubt. It will also allow for a better demographic view of each and every citizen in the USA as well as any other countries. Rest assured, not only does the government plan on taking advantage of that valuable information for both public and private use, but politicians can better fine tune their ATTACK on you by pulling on the pre-defined heartstrings you have displayed in your ID cards so as to better cultivate your vote.
Fact is, there are a LOT of reasons for hate crime legislation that afford ONLY the governments of this world even more control. However, when you look at the one and only entity on Planet Earth that stands to gain the highest benefits in all this, one can assuredly see why the Vat of sin in Rome is so hopped up on getting these laws passed. They have done it in other countries successfully, they even have the laws of the land fashioned after the dogmatic statements of Rome in Europe. In fact, do some "modern day" historic research on the events of Europe. Notice how the Vatican prompted each and every aspect of "certain laws" to be passed so as to make Europe the living example that a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT can work in today's society. (By the way... if you do this, let me know! Or if you know of someone who has done it. Let me know! I want to post it online asap!)
They may be able to shut the mouths of a "few" weaker Christians like Jack VanImpe or Billy Graham by declaring their ministries will be shut down if they don't retract previous statements made concerning the papacy in Rome. But the true child of God who stands for the Eternal Word of God, they don't have a chance!
They tried to stop people from preaching about Jesus before, and the true child of God will respond as he has in the past...
And because they see their threats are useless against us, they will change their strategy by declaring we preach "heresy" and it is "conducive to hate crimes!" Many other "weak" Christians will agree with them because they don't know any better, and soon we will stand (as many already are today) all alone with Jesus. Yet we must echo the words of those who went through it before us...
And by the way... When I said that EVERY fabric of society will be targeted by the antichristians of this world. I meant it, look at this next ridiculous article... ( Try not to laugh now! :)
Christianity Harmful to Animals, Says
Animal Rights Godfather
By
Marc Morano
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
July 01,
2002
(CNSNews.com) - Princeton University Professor Peter Singer,
dubbed the 'godfather' of animal rights, says Christianity is a "problem" for
the animal rights movement.
Singer, author of the book "Animal
Liberation" and a professor of bioethics at Princeton University's Center for
Human Values, criticized American Christianity for its fundamentalist strain
that takes the Bible too "literally" and promotes "speciesism." He defined
speciesism as the belief that being a member of a certain species "makes you
superior to any other being that is not a member of that species."
This is not only ridiculous, but it appears rather comical as well. I must say I had to chuckle when I read this article. You have GOT to be kidding me I thought! Nope... it appears this guy is serious. Sad thing is, the lily livered, weak kneed, cowardly Christians in places of power will eventually go along with this crazed idea just as they did for abortion and any other insane claims of the Christian haters. And they will do all this irregardless of the fact that it IS written in the Creator's Word that we do have dominion over the animals.
The Atheist is actually proclaiming their belief in God by this ridiculous claim that we shouldn't "rule" over the animals of this world. The key here is the fact that the Almighty MADE MAN IN HIS IMAGE and the Atheist hates ANY representation whatsoever of the Almighty, even if it means His mere IMAGE!
What is the Roman catholic church seeking in all this? What is there agenda? Prophecy said the beast that kill more than 150 million Christians during it's FIRST reign of terror (538ad to 1798ad) would have it's mortal wound healed did it not? And what you saw in the past will be seen very soon for prophecy does NOT lie!
Keep in mind people. Those of us that embrace Bible doctrine as Truth are considered heretics by the leader of the One World Court in Rome. The Pope used that descriptive term for us in his March 12, 2000 Mea Culpa address to the entire world. We are considered "racists, bigots, hatemonger's, and dangerous" by the very court that is controlled by Rome. And we are considered prison worthy for committing what they define as "hate crimes" in their books. Many of us will indeed be thrown into prison for simply proclaiming our Jesus to those in desperate need of His salvation. Are you ready for what is DEFINITELY about to happen?One last note...
If they can't move you with torture. If they
can't force you to deny Christ with death. If they can stop you from preaching
with laws. What will they try next? Your pocket book perhaps?

Yesterday in Dane County Circuit Court, Judge Paul Higginbotham fined Pastor Ralph Ovadal $1,000 for rebuking a lewd-acting woman on the parking lot of the state-run Mazomanie nude beach and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to her. The Judge also added court costs to the fine. Pastor Ovadal's "victim," Nancy J. Erickson, had asked the court to fine Pastor Ovadal the maximum possible ($1,000), put him in jail for 90 days, and then on probation. The Judge declined the probation, saying it would be too expensive to the State and would no doubt do nothing to change Pastor Ovadal's behavior anyway. Both the D.A. and the Judge stated that they had considered putting Pastor Ovadal in jail, but they are afraid it would make him a "martyr."
During the sentencing hearing Judge Higginbotham gave a long dissertation on his religious beliefs and stated to Pastor Ovadal, "I think you and I have different thoughts on what is preaching....Yes, I called your conduct cruel, savage, truculent...it wasn't preaching."
Granted, I am not familiar with Dane County and it's WISCONSIN STATE RUN nude beaches. But I do know that "parking lots" are NOT nude beaches. So the argument that "this was a nude beach" the preacher was preachign at is moot. Still, some would question the preachers decision to go to the parking lot to preach. Is it no different than going to an abortion clinic, or a movie theater to preach to those going in to sin? You don't go "IN" the clinic, or the movie theater to preach right? Nor would you go "ON" the nude beach to preach. It is best to go to the parking lot outside the view of the bold and obvious "nude" sinners.
I have no doubt in my mind what the "lewd acting woman" did. Her being a nudist, I can surely imagine what transpired after the preacher tried to share the Gospel of Jesus with her and alert her of her eternal dangers. Think about this. She does a "lewd act" in response to his message, and then the preacher does a "holy act" by rebuking her for it. And the Christian is the one FINED!?
Kinda reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on a young girls car many years back when I was a teenager. Wisconsin was looking for a way to beef up tourism. Everywhere you looked were bumper stickers that said, "Escape to Wisconsin" Commercials on radio and TV were all about the sinful advantages to visiting Wisconsin. This young girl I saw "altered" the bumper sticker to make it clear to everyone why she preferred Wisconsin. She cut the bumper sticker in such a way that it removed most of the name "Wisconsin" She took the letters, "Wiscon" off the sticker, and re-set the sticker perfectly so it would read... "Escape to sin." Makes much more sense that way doesn't it? Whatever beefs up the tourism bux eh?
The Agape Press summed up the following article rather plainly that I believe says it all in a nutshell!
Monday, July 15, 2002
In a face-off over Britain's blasphemy laws, sidewalk preachers shouted Bible verses to drown out free-speech activists who read a homo-erotic poem about Jesus Christ on the steps of a London church. The 17th-century laws -- which ban outrageous or indecent attacks on Christianity -- are under review by the House of Lords, which may recommend abolishing them or extending them to protect other religions. Although blasphemy laws are rarely enforced, the activists said they were risking prosecution by reciting the poem, which imagines a Roman centurion taking liberties with the body of Jesus after he was removed from the cross.
A London minister who objected to the reading said that in a time when it is wrong to utter a racial slur, "It seems the only person you're allowed to insult in this land is Christ." -Agape Press

Your brother in
Christ,
Michael.
Thanks for the quick response. My family and I are doing very well. The Lord Jesus is very good. I am seeing a great transformation in my wonderful wife. What a difference from a year ago. We have attended June 1st and 2nd camp meetings in Lincoln NE, we will also attend the 7th and 8th. Wonderful to see so many adventists in one spot. I just took a look at your message on the Gillotines. The Almighty has spoken the truth, and it is soon to be upon us. I want to again thank you for your faithfulness. Your site has watered the Word, and has established some very deep roots in my walk in the Word of Truth. Yes, my dear friend and brother, it is very exciting to know that the end is now. May each of us who love Jesus and the Word, be faithful unto the very last breath of our earthly bodies. Jesus is coming soon and it is wonderful to know that we will be standing before HIM so very soon. Nic, if I do not have privledge to meet with you here on this earth, We will see you on the second Sabbath under the tree of LIFE. Amen???
May the God of Heaven continue to use you in a mighty way for HIS glory and honor. May HE provide you and your family many blessings.
Continue to the Good Fight.
Very Sincerely,
Your brother - George ; )
This reminds me of about a year ago when "Left Behind" was in town. I tried to place an ad in an advertising paper that said something like, "Will the world end in disaster or will it be a sneak attack?" There was no way I could change it to please the editor.
I would like to compliment you on the new presentation. Whore of Babylon. Awesome information. Each time I look onto your Presents of God ministries web site, I am blessed with greater truths. Please dear brother continue the good work.
May the Lord continue to bless you for HIS purpose.
Very Humbly,
George

To whom it may concern!
I just viewed the little slide show about the AntiChrist and wanted to let you know that it was one of the most informative shows I have ever seen! As a Seventh-Day Adventist, I have studied quit a bit about last day events but there was some information that I was unaware of in the show. I was impressed with the entire layout of the presentation and I take my hat off to you for that! It was utterly amazing! I will be adding a link on my website to yours. Please keep up the good work and God bless your site and the work that you are doing.
Sincerely,

P.S. THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE ON YOUR
WEB SITE IS AMAZING...
Nicholas,
My name is "XXXX" on Paltalk and I would like to let you know that I wa sone of those that used to speak out against you as well as attack your rooms when you were preachign on Firetalk. I humbly ask your forgiveness as I see now you were only preaching out of love for those of us that have been blinded.
Your website is great. Praise God. Why do your call it 'presents' of God and not 'presence' of God. Are you telling us God has presents for us as in gifts? Or do you mean that His presence is with you?
What do you think about the Trinity?
God bless. Margaretha
(I call it "presents" because salvation is a GIFT. As for the Trinity, see this... http://www.remnantofgod.org/trinity.htm
PLEASE PRAY for Presents of God ministry! Since going full time in the ministry the attack from hell as advanced! Pray this ministry is blessed spiritually as well as financially to do as I am called to do!
Thank you!
...Nic
My fervent prayer is that you have been blessed by the Truth Provided in this Newsletter.
Truth is Truth!
