There’s Only One Gospel of Christ! The Heresy of Pauline Gospel Exclusivity Exploded [podcast]
Some today are claiming there is more than one Gospel. Is this true or false?
An increasing number of vile, diabolical wolves are claiming that there’s more than one Gospel. They claim that Paul had a separate, a different gospel than Jesus and the other apostles and that Paul’s gospel is the only one that counts for New Testament saints. Ready to put this claim to the test?
Paul not only uses the term “my gospel”, he also uses the words “THE gospel” as in only one Gospel! In fact, in the New Testament canon, the words “THE gospel” appear 86 times while Paul’s use of the words “my gospel” appear only 3 times. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times! I will leave it to you to do a search of the words “THE gospel” on your King James Bible software. Your jaw will drop as 86 results appear. And as you do, notice that the words “THE gospel” are used before and after Paul used this same term, further proving there’s only one Gospel – “THE gospel” of Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle (just one of the apostles), separated unto THE GOSPEL of God (not Paul),
Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
So we must ask, what is “THE GOSPEL”? As we just read, THE one Gospel centers upon and is and has to do with “his Son Jesus Christ our LORD” who was crucified for the sins of the world and raised again from the dead, right? Is Paul the only one who had this revelation? No.
Jesus, “the way, the truth, and the life,” simply used Paul to merely expound upon the ONE Gospel. That doesn’t make the Gospel Paul preached a separate or different gospel. In fact, the Holy Ghost through Paul himself told us that anyone preaching “ANY other gospel” is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) More on that in a moment.
Also, Paul uses the term “our gospel” 3 times (2 Corinthians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Thessalonians 2:14).
To say there are different gospels would be to say that there is more than one way to God. Jesus Christ is the Gospel, the Good News, and the only way to God (John 14:6). This is the work of “the spirit of antichrist” perpetrated through antichrists (1 John 2:18; 4:1-6).
Before Paul was even saved, the words “many believed” appears 4 times in the Word of God and 1 time shortly after Paul was saved (John 2:23; 8:30; 10:42; 12:42; Acts 9:42). So, were those people, those “many” who believed, believing into “another gospel” – a gospel other than that one Gospel of Christ spoken of throughout the New Testament canon?
So you read the “Left Behind” series and read and listened to Hal Lindsey’s “Late Great Planet Earth” and dispensational poison and yet didn’t read God’s Word for yourself? No wonder you are horribly misled. Repent now and get into God’s Word for yourself as God commanded! (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:10-11)
At this point, any honest person would be utterly ashamed that they ever bought the lie that there’s more than one gospel. Any person saying there’s more than one gospel is preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)
It is delusional to believe there’s more than one Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures of the LORD simply do not teach such and clearly refute such a lie. The only reason there would need to be “another gospel” would be due to the imperfection of “the gospel” of Christ.
The one original Gospel begins with Jesus, not Paul, and Paul only continued what Jesus had started in his preaching of the one original Gospel.
There’s only one kingdom of God. There’s only one Gospel. The term “THE gospel” appears 86 times in the New Testament canon! Paul used the words “my gospel” just 3 times and that doesn’t mean he had a different or separate gospel, but rather that he had revelation of “THE gospel,” that is, the one Gospel and not “another gospel” which he himself says is of “another spirit” and peddled by those who are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) This is classic slight of hand deception being wielded over the gullible. A simple search of “the gospel” and “my gospel” blows up their sham. The score is 86 to 3. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times!!!!! Dispensationalists will never be heard revealing the number differential here because it simply doesn’t play into the agenda they are pushing as they peddle “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) There is no other Gospel, good news, except Jesus Christ, encapsulated in His one Gospel, “THE Gospel.”
Jesus Christ is “the true God, and eternal life.”
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” 1 John 5:20
Notice Paul’s use of the words “ANY other gospel” – twice… which means there can’t possibly be “ANY other gospel.”
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert THE gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9
The phrases “another gospel” and “any other gospel” could mean but one thing – that there is only one Gospel.
What’s Satan’s Goal in this “More than One Gospel” Heresy?
In brief, dispensational theology is the construct of “evil men and seducers”, “ungodly men” who are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4; 2 Timothy 3:13) All dispensationalists teach the golden calf pet doctrine of “once saved always saved” also called “eternal security.” This is done to evade the cross Jesus and His apostles preached and to promulgate the antinomian lie of the ages upon men. They falsely believe that the apostle Paul didn’t address doctrines like repentance, the crucified life, hell fire, etc. This is Satan’s plan to hide the hard truths of Christ’s one Gospel, all of which Paul preached.
Were there Born Again New Testament Saints BEFORE Paul Came Along? YES.
Firstly, at the onset of the record of the Acts of the Apostles, on record in the book of Acts, let us consider that Christ had already shed His precious blood and declared “It is finished.” (John 19:30) “It is finished” simply means “Paid in full.” So, the perfect price for redeeming fallen men was already, a while before Paul was even saved and so, this alone tells us that He who is “not willing that any should perish” was immediately saving souls into His eternal kingdom (1 Timothy 2:4-6; 2 Peter 3:9, etc.).
There’s mountains of evidence that there were well over 8,000 new converts to Christ BEFORE Paul was even saved (Acts 2:41; 4:4). This alone disproves the lie that no one could be saved before Paul came along. Also, this further exposes the deification of Jesus’ servant Paul by dispensational heretics.
The book of Acts is written in chronological order and Paul wasn’t even saved will Acts 9. We witness the birth of the church in the first 2 chapters of Acts.
Jesus tells His 120 gathered together praying that they were going to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. How could anyone believe that Jesus was going to send His Spirit upon lost souls? Ludicrous.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
And Jesus kept His promise:
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:4
Read this to witness how it is further established that many were saved by Christ before Paul was even saved:
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:37-41
Under the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, Peter also preached for men to “repent” and “be converted” and so it was obviously possible and happening well before Paul was ever saved.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
Dispensationalist Nightmare
The dispensationalist vainly believes he’s not accountable to the teachings of Christ, the One the dispensationalist claims has saved him. Odd at best. The dispensationalist has bought the egregious lie that only Paul’s writings are essential to New Testament saints. Little do these deceived souls realize that Paul preached exactly what Christ preached – the cardinal doctrines of the one Gospel of Jesus Christ:
- hell/damnation (Romans 1:32; 3:8; 6:23; 13:2; 1 Corinthians 11:29; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Galatians 5:19-21; 2 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 Timothy 5:12, etc.)
- the crucified life (Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5, 10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.)
- the essential of personal holiness (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7, etc.)
- the conditions essential to being taken when Christ returns (Ephesians 5:25-27
- repentance (Acts 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; 2 Corinthians 7:8-10; 12:21, etc.)
- judgment (Acts 17:31; 24:25; Romans 1:32; 2:2, 3, 5; 5:16, 18; 14:10; 1 Corinthians 1:10; 4:3; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Galatians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:5; 1 Timothy 5:24)
That which sounds logical is not necessarily biblical. It may sound logical to be told that you can’t understand the bible without learning the different dispensations, but such is never said by god in his word. and, we know he gave us “All things that pertain unto life and godliness” – all things we needed, in His word (2 Peter 1:3-4).
The dispensational system is a doctrine of devils crafted and peddled by deceivers in an attempt to hide the cardinal doctrines, the hard truths of the one Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to promulgate Satan’s eternal security heresy (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Of all the human writers of the New Testament canon, clearly Paul taught the most on faith and grace and so the dispensationalist can easily hide in things Paul taught while ignoring the hard truths he taught. They aren’t very deep or bright and we know this because Paul taught these same hard truths!
The central passage defining “THE GOSPEL” the only Gospel, is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Clearly, to say there is “another gospel” is to say that there’s another way to God – a way other than Jesus Christ.
But Jesus says He alone is exclusively “THE way” and that is exactly what “THE gospel” communicates in no uncertain terms (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5).
So, did the Gospel writers, and the apostles John and Peter preach “another gospel”? Did they preach something different than Paul’s gospel? If so they are “accursed” according to Paul and so why would the LORD have sovereignly ordained that their writings were included in the New Testament canon of Holy Scripture? (Galatians 1:6-9) And we know this isn’t true because the Holy Spirit told us through Christ’s apostle Peter that we have the canon of Scripture because “holy men (plural) of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21)
Demonic dispensationalists claim that there’s more than one gospel. They falsely teach that the the Gospel of Jesus is different than the gospel of Paul and a different Gospel than Peter and John and the other Holy Spirit inspired writers of the New Testament canon. They falsely extrapolate this from Paul’s use of the term “my gospel.” (Romans 2:16; 16:25; 2 Timothy 2:8)
Let’s put this to the biblical test, shall we?
Paul not only uses the term “my gospel”, he also uses the words “THE gospel” as in only one Gospel! In fact, in the New Testament canon, the words “THE gospel” appear 86 times while Paul’s use of the words “my gospel” appear only 3 times. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times! I will leave it to you to do a search of the words “THE gospel” on your King James Bible software. Your jaw will drop as 86 results appear. And as you do, notice that the words “THE gospel” are used before and after Paul used this same term, further proving there’s only one Gospel – “THE gospel” of Jesus Christ – which is not exclusive to Paul dispensation of it which simply refers to his stewardship of the calling God gave him to dispense the one and eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ who is the Gospel.
“Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.” Philippians 1:7
“My grace” simply refers to the blessing of God’s grace bestowed upon Paul in his ministry to those saints he was writing to. In another place, as Paul spoke of his labor in the LORD, he speaks of “the grace of God which was with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:10)
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
Paul’s use of the words “my grace” does not mean that it was exclusive to him. Scripture tells us that “GRACE and truth came by Jesus Christ” and is available “to ALL men.” (John 1:17; Titus 2:11)
“Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul himself penned these words:
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL men (not just Paul).” Titus 2:11
The apostle Paul’s use of this term “my grace” doesn’t mean it’s exclusively for or of Paul, a mere man, a messenger. In the same way, his use of the term “my gospel” merely means that he is preaching THE one Gospel of Christ according to the divine calling and grace given to him to do so. He was given grace to preach the one Gospel – of Jesus Christ. 59 times he called it “THE gospel.”
Now do we begin to see how this evil system that falsely claims there’s more than one gospel deifies Paul and demotes Jesus Christ?
The Dispensation Deception of the Dispensationalist Heretics
Now let’s read the 4 Bible verses where Paul uses the word “dispensation.” The Greek word for “dispensation” is oikonomia and refers to an overseer, a fiscal agent who has been given an administration, a stewardship of the one Gospel. Dispensation simply means to dispense.
1Co_9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the gospel is committed unto me.
Eph_1:10 That in the DISPENSATION of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph_3:2 If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Col_1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the DISPENSATION of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
It is befuddling to realize that the whole dispensationalist movement is built on the foundation of Paul’s use of the word “dispensation” which they completely misinterpret and add volumes to.
Christ’s Gospel or Paul’s Gospel?
“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,” Romans 1:1
Paul says here that as “an apostle”, he was “separated unto the gospel of God,” and not his own gospel. False teachers are saying the “gospel of God” and the “gospel of Christ” are two different gospels. One particular fraud, Trey Searcy of Truth Time Radio, used Romans 1:1 in a vain attempt to “prove” this. Let’s look. Here was my reply:
“gospel or God” and “gospel of Christ” are the same gospel – “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the GOSPEL OF GOD” Romans 1:1…. then in Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Notice that Paul was not ashamed of “THE gospel of Christ.” Hello. Paul didn’t preach his own gospel. Right here he makes it clear that he preached and was not ashamed of “the gospel of Christ.” Case closed. In Romans 1:16 Paul states that “the gospel of Christ”, not the gospel of Paul, “is the power of God unto salvation.”
According to Romans 1, the “gospel of God” and “gospel of Christ” are one and the same Gospel because “God so loved the world…. “ (John 3:16) …. “the (one and only) GOSPEL OF CHRIST” is “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:1, 16)
Repentance
Here’s more proof that Satan is the author of this whole dispensational system. Jesus says “Except ye repent, ye shall ALL like wise perish.” (Luke 13:3, 5) Paul taught repentance (Acts 20:21; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10). “Repentance” is found 13 times in respect to Paul (Acts thru Hebrews). Repentance is a Gospel essential and so it’s clear that Satan is behind this removal of the need to repent in order to be saved. “Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” are exactly what this demonic dispensational system is all about (1 Timothy 4:1-2). The men who have concocted this system aren’t very bright or should we say, they are depending on they ignorance of their prey. They are hoping you don’t find out that Paul preached what his Master Christ preached. And that’s why these antichrists dismiss the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself, claiming that His words, Christ’s teachings are not important or essential to those New Testament believers who are saved by this very and only Savior whose teachings they are dismissing. Think on that one.
These dispensational devils are simply regurgitating recycle heresy when they teach that the Gospel Jesus, John the Baptist, and Peter preached a different gospel than Paul preached. The underlying motive is to rid the message of the hard truths. Jesus, John the Baptist, and Paul use verses on repentance like Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3, 5; Acts 17:30-31; 2 Corinthians 7:10; 2 Peter 3:9.
“The antichrists (many) will follow the false prophet which that demonic spirit has clothed themselves as angels of light and has been building the false church and filling it with all kinds of doctrine that falls short of and goes beyond the doctrine of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ as plainly revealed in the New Testament canon of Scripture.” David Taylor
Trey Searcy, Robert Breaker, and all the dispensational wolves are essentially teaching that even though Jesus had already died and rose again, no one could be saved until Paul’s epistles appeared decades later. Paul’s epistles date to beginning in about 60AD. Yet we know by the record of the book of Acts, beginning before Paul was even saved, that 8,000 souls were saved by the LORD via Peter’s preaching at Pentecost, the day the church was born. It was later that Paul was saved (Acts 9).
Was Paul the only messenger (apostle) that the LORD used to reveal His one Gospel? If so, why do we have books in the New Testament canon of other of Christ’s apostles? Why didn’t God not only include Paul’s books in the New Testament canon? Surely those other human writers of New Testament Scripture were also teaching according to Christ’s one Gospel, right? Right. Such is self-evident. Let’s explore the Bible concerning the claims that Paul’s gospel is the only gospel.
A closer look at the whole of Scripture reveals that the one, the exclusive Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News, is Christ Himself, and that He used several of His messengers to reveal it to us, not just Paul.
“holy men (plural) of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21)
The word “gospel” appears 104 times in the New Testament canon. 28 times the word “gospel” appears outside of Paul’s writings. So, in the 4 Gospels, the word “gospel” is used 17 times. 17 times the word “gospel” appears in the 4 Gospels, specifically associated with the Son of God. This is years before Paul was even saved. Did JESUS have the real “gospel” or did the Almighty Himself have to wait till Paul penned it? Did Jesus bring the Gospel or Paul? Did Jesus die for the sins of the world or did the sinner Paul do so? Did the New Testament church begin at the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were saved under Peter’s preaching or is this a lie and only Paul later brought the true Gospel?
This “more than one gospel” delusion is a laughable heresy being peddled that deifies Paul and demotes Jesus Christ and says that only Paul had the Gospel that applies to New Testament saints and that the “the gospel of Jesus Christ” was “another gospel” for another people (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6-9). Anyone teaching this is a false teacher. Run! The Pauline cult.
“The beginning of THE gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;” Mark 1:1
“Gospel” means good news and is directly coupled with “Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Paul is not the good news, Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ chose and appointed the apostle Paul to preach HIS (Jesus’) one Gospel and yet Paul is but a mere man as were the other apostles. Jesus Christ is God.
“…the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:14-16
No different than when John wrote that he was “the disciple whom Jesus loved”, so Paul used the words “my gospel” which dispensationalists erroneously take to mean Paul had his own gospel, a different Gospel. Beware. Was John the only “disciple whom Jesus loved”? Was Paul the only messenger of the one true “gospel of Jesus Christ”? No. The use of the words “THE gospel” before and after Paul in the New Testament canon make this abundantly clear. One singular Gospel preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles. And Jesus Himself is that Gospel! Paul was but one of the messengers Jesus Christ sent to communicate His one Gospel, which reveals HIMSELF. In fact, Paul wrote “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” (2 Corinthians 4:5)
Paul simply revealed much more of the gospel of Jesus. He was commissioned with a dispensational stewardship to unfold the Gospel of Jesus Christ which began to be preached in the 4 Gospel books. Dispensational simply means to dispense and yet the dispensational wolves have defined it as much more with no biblical authority to do so. That does not mean it was a different Gospel which brings a curse as “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) That’s why it’s dangerous language to say Paul had a different gospel or that there’s more than one Gospel. Scripture clearly refutes this antichrist heretical idea which is designed to confuse and distract from Christ – the only “Head” of His one body (Colossians 1:18-19; 2:18-19).
Paul himself says that if any person or angel preaches “ANY other gospel” he is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Christ’s Gospel as is documented in “ALL scripture” and not just the writings of Paul (2 Timothy 3:16; Galatians 1:6-9). The only other gospels we read about in God’s Word would be a false gospel, “another gospel” and “ANY other gospel” and the acceptance or preaching of such makes one “accursed.” (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6, 8-9)
Paul had a specific part in dispensing the revelation of the one original Gospel of Jesus Christ as did Peter and John and the other divinely ordained scribes of the New Testament Scriptures (Matthew 13:52).
Paul had a further revelation of THE one Gospel, that’s all. But people are being gullible and heretical to say there’s more than one Gospel.
Just because God used Paul to unfold, to reveal that Gospel, doesn’t make it Paul’s Gospel which cancels out any and all other references or men HE used to dispense or reveal His one Gospel. That’s heresy and an interpretational error and this type twisting of the truth is the type thing done by cults.
If God ordained that the word “gospel” appear many times outside of Paul’s writings, especially in the singular, definite article form of “THE gospel,” did He not ordain that we understand that He gave us just one Gospel? Yes.
Peter, Christ’s apostle, uses the word “gospel” 4 times in 1 Peter, without the name of Paul. So, did Peter have and preach “another gospel” which would make him “accursed”? (Galatians 1:6-9) Yes or no?
“The Gospel of God” appears 7 times in the New Testament and was used both by Paul and Peter, neither one hinting or attributing it to themselves – but as it reads – “the gospel of GOD”, not man.
It’s interesting to note that the phrase “the gospel of Paul” appears no where in the Bible.
Notice this:
“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostleS (plural!) and prophets by the Spirit;” Ephesians 3:5
Did Paul state that he was the only one the one Gospel was revealed to? No. Instead Paul tells us that “it is now revealed unto his holy apostleS (plural!) and prophets (plural) by the Spirit;” Case closed.
The one Gospel was now “revealed unto his holy apostleS and prophets (plural) by the Spirit” and not just Paul (Ephesians 3:5).
Paul is saying that “now” under the New Covenant, the fulness of the one Gospel of Christ is revealed.
He speaks of “other ages” which refers to the past ages and times and puts the emphasis on the timing of GOD, not Paul’s revelation which were from GOD. Yet the divine revelations were certainly not only given to Paul. They were given to “his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit” of which Paul is but one of them.
Listening to the disdaining tone of those who peddle this heresy that Paul is the only one who had the gospel, is disturbing and revealing. They are cult teachers, blaming anything you’ve ever learned as being of “religion.” This is classis cultic action to discredit the truth in order to bring in the lie. Sophomoric at best. This technique is often used by deceivers. While they themselves corrupt the Word of God, they arrogantly act is if they have exclusive rights and the sole ability to “rightly divide (ing) the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge” (Luke 11:52)
Saints, there is no end to the insidious wolves working right in our midst today who each have their own special angle to sell you on. They won’t tell you just to get into God’s Word organically and seek His face relentlessly. Why? Well, they want to control the interpretation of the Bible with their “private interpretation” and they want you as a customer and a return customer (2 Peter 1:19-21). This is how indoctrination occurs. So many today are vying for your attention to their ministry, their teaching, seeking to convince, to sell you on the notion that THEY have the exclusive inside scoop, the keys to understanding the Bible. This includes those who claim the Bible can’t be understood without knowing the original languages, the lie that you can’t understand the New Testament without knowing all the Hebrew roots, and those who chop up and interpret the Bible via dispensations, etc. Whether subtly or blatantly, each claims to have the exclusive keys to understanding the Bible.
Jesus warned:
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52
Principally, taking away “the key of knowledge” deals with stealing center stage, cornering the market on interpretation, displacing God from teaching His children (1 John 2:20, 27).
The Greek word for “key” in Luke 11:52 (above):
κλείς
kleis
klice
From G2808; a key (as shutting a lock), literally or figuratively: – key.
This rebuke and expose’ of Jesus concerning lawyers refers to those in leadership who serve the god of self and therefore block the knowledge of God from and misdirect, mislead the people under their influence.
Of this verse John Wesley wrote:
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge – Ye have obscured and destroyed the knowledge of the Messiah, which is the key of both the present and the future kingdom of heaven; the kingdom of grace and glory. Ye have not entered in – Into the present kingdom of heaven.”
Adam Clarke writes:
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge – By your traditions ye have taken away the true method of interpreting the prophecies: ye have given a wrong meaning to those scriptures which speak of the kingdom of the Messiah, and the people are thereby hindered from entering into it. See on Matthew 23:13 (note).
Ye shut up the kingdom – As a key by opening a lock gives entrance into a house, etc., so knowledge of the sacred testimonies, manifested in expounding them to the people, may be said to open the way into the kingdom of heaven. But where men who are termed teachers are destitute of this knowledge themselves, they may be said to shut this kingdom; because they occupy the place of those who should teach, and thus prevent the people from acquiring heavenly knowledge.
The kingdom of heaven here means the Gospel of Christ; the Pharisees would not receive it themselves, and hindered the common people as far as they could.”
Speaking of not being right there in the Bible, where does the BIBLE instruct New Testament believers to discern, to view the Bible via dispensations? Nowhere. And to assert such is to deceptively add to the Bible, the Word of God and be under the curse of Revelation 22:18-19.
Demonic dispensationalists refuse to synthesize the whole of Scripture and therefore claim there is more than one gospel and that New Testament saints are only responsible for obeying Paul’s writings – Romans through Philemon. This they do in the face of a holy God who guarantees the lake of fire to all who remove from His Word (Revelation 22:18-19). They ditch half the New Testament canon to reduce saving faith to something that doesn’t require true repentance, something much less deep than what Jesus and disciples define it as – true, necessary repentance which always, without exception, produces a holy, obedience life (Luke 13:3, 5; Matthew 3:7-10, etc.). You see, repentance was and is the first word, the first command of the original Gospel, done by faith, and that which ushers in the necessary divine regeneration (Acts 20:21).
Jesus says “Ye MUST be born again” and “born again” is synonymous with what Paul calls “the washing of regeneration.” (John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7)
Recently while talking to a lady who has been ensnared in this dispensation cult, I said this:
Why do you think those wolves taught you that only some or none of the book of Hebrews applies to New Testament saints? Hebrews addresses all of the “holy brethren” 3:1 and so if you’re saved, the whole book of Hebrews applies to you and the witness of the same truths throughout the book of Hebrews is all over the rest of the New Testament. In this alone they are caught red handed. As to the reason these dispensationalist frauds are teaching that Hebrews doesn’t apply, let me help you: They taught you this lie – the lie that Hebrews doesn’t apply to you – because they know Hebrews repeatedly dismantles and obliterates their primary pet heresy – once saved always saved, eternal security. You are being deceived and have a deceiving spirit over your life and it will remain until God opens your eyes and you repent and return to Him (Hosea 14:1-2; 2 Corinthians 3:14-16; 1 Timothy 4:1-2).
The Greater Danger
Those who bought this Pauline gospel heresy did not learn these things from reading Scripture for themselves – they learned this heresy by listening to mere sinful men, wolves who imposed this system on the Scriptures and led them to believe this lie by isolating a few certain phrases, words, and verses to the exclusion of the whole counsel of Scripture. Cultist like this usually hyper-interpret certain verses, words, phrases while ignoring the whole of what Scripture communicates.
HOW do you know if someone is imposing something upon the Scripture text they are reading from IF you haven’t personally, organically, thoroughly studied the whole of God’s Word for yourself? You don’t.
That’s why it’s essential to personally study the Bible organically and not be influenced by mere men. Many have been misled. They DID NOT go into the Bible and read it all by themselves with the Holy Ghost and come out with these ideas. It took some crafty deceiver or deceivers to convince you of this heretical view and much more.
Are you a dispensationalist? Yes or no?
Do you realize that the Bible never says to read it or view the kingdom of Christ via dispensations? There is no Scripture which gives such a hint or instruction. This is the work of devils and sinful men (1 Timothy 4:1-2)
Beware of “Strange Doctrines”
We were warned about “strange doctrines” and that is what this heresy that Paul alone had the gospel is – “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” (Hebrews 13:9)
The larger error and concern here is that those who’ve been taught this heresy are inevitably gullible and easily misled and will be further snared and deceived by the vile wolves who taught them this error.
These ravenous wolves are teaching that Paul is the only one who had and gave the one true Gospel of Christ. Total heresy.
Long before Paul penned his epistles, the apostles of Christ, without Paul, ascertained what was necessary under the New Testament Gospel. See Acts 15. So, did they have the one true Gospel? To say they didn’t is utterly dishonest and false. To say John, Peter, James, and the other apostles of Christ and writers of the New Testament Scripture didn’t have the one true Gospel is to curse the whole life and ministry of Christ Himself. To say such is to say that the Gospel wasn’t available to men before 60AD. That would mean Jesus’ perfect blood sacrifice was blocked and ineffectual, not available to redeem men for approximately 30 years after He died to save all men.
Is Paul the only One Christ trusted with His one Gospel? No!
If only Paul had the only Gospel that applies to New Testament saints, why do we have books from others in the New Testament canon? Did the Almighty make a mistake? Did He give us things we didn’t need in His Word?
Of the 27 books of the New Testament canon, Paul wrote 13 (or 14 if you count Hebrews). Peter wrote 2 and John wrote 4 of the canon books. Why did God give us New Testament authors other than Paul if Paul had the only Gospel or revelation of it? Peter used the term “THE gospel” 4 times. Are you going to say the LORD is a fraud for including Peter’s version of the ONE Gospel in the New Testament canon? Someone is lying and it’s not the LORD.
“The Everlasting Gospel”
Notice below how in Revelation 14:6 we read the words “the everlasting gospel” and not “Paul’s gospel.”
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,” Revelation 14:6
Paul merely used the phrase “my gospel” as referring to the revelation Jesus gave him of the one true Gospel. And that one true Gospel was not limited to Paul. Jesus wasn’t limited and clearly didn’t limit His divine revelation to one messenger. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have other of Christ’s apostles expounding upon the one Gospel of Christ.
There’s only 1 Gospel. Just because God gave Paul an apportioned revelation of the LORD’s one Gospel, doesn’t mean it was exclusively Paul’s Gospel, or was only revealed by Paul, or that it’s another Gospel. Cease the heresy now.
Echoing this same heavenly warning and truth as did Paul in Galatians 1, the apostle John wrote that if anyone who is saved doesn’t continue in “the doctrine of Christ“, such a person no longer has God but rather is now an apostate, a departed lost soul.
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth (remains) in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
Notice that the apostle John here doesn’t tell us that Paul exclusively authored “the doctrine of Christ.” So, did God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Not a chance. If Paul’s writings were the only ones written directly to us, then why are we never told such in Scripture?
It’s Christ’s Gospel, not exclusively the Gospel Jesus gave to Paul which He also gave to all of His apostles – and that’s why it’s called “the apostle’s doctrine” in Acts 2:42 and not “Paul’s gospel.”
The term “THE gospel” appears 4 times in 1 Peter 1, penned by the apostle Peter. And, Paul isn’t mentioned once in these instances as associated with the Gospel.
1Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached THE GOSPEL unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
1Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by THE GOSPEL is preached unto you.
1Peter 4:6 For for this cause was THE GOSPEL preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not THE GOSPEL of God?
The one “Gospel of God” is not exclusive to Paul, it’s for all….. and “is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” (Ephesians 3:5) The Bible never says the New Testament Gospel was exclusively revealed to and through Paul. Paul didn’t even believe that. He himself says that the Gospel is “now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” (Ephesians 3:5)
Dispensationalists are claiming that Paul’s revelation, as is recorded in the Bible, is MORE divinely inspired than that of the other 39 writers. But Paul himself didn’t believe that (2 Timothy 3:16).
“For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” 1 Corinthians 9:17
G3622
οἰκονομία
oikonomia
oy-kon-om-ee’-ah
From G3623; administration (of a household or estate); specifically a (religious) “economy”: – dispensation, stewardship.
Total KJV occurrences: 8
So, “a dispensation of the gospel” simply means that Paul was given the divine responsibility, the stewardship of administering, dispensing the Gospel to the Gentiles. That doesn’t exclude the other apostles Jesus used to make known His Gospel.
Baptism
As usual, these cultists butcher the doctrine of baptisms. In a vain attempt to prove that Paul’s is a separate gospel, dispensational wolf Trey Searcy says: “But Paul says there is now only “one baptism.” (Ephesians 4:5) But in Hebrews 6 the writer chides believers for not knowing the foundational “the doctrine of baptisms.” Notice, “baptismS” is plural. Elsewhere, in 1 Corinthians 12:13, Paul speaks of being baptized or immersed into Christ and therefore His body by the Holy Spirit upon being born again and that’s what “one baptism” is referring to in Ephesians 4:5.
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4:4-6
All cults indoctrinate their prey using a few Bible verses to the exclusion of the whole of Scripture. All other Scripture is ignored or slanted and bent by those who handle the Word of God deceitfully (2 Corinthians 4:1-2). This is exactly what we see the dispensational devils doing.

The Book of 2 Peter Narrated [podcast]
Chapter 1
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost
Chapter 2
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Chapter 3
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Apostasy
The Sensual Seduction and Solicitation of the Modern Church!
Spiritual Seduction is a Reality!
“How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly LUSTS. 19 These be they who separate themselves, SENSUAL, having not the Spirit.” Jude 18-19
Of this passage, one disciple notes:
“The dictionary defines sensuality this way: sen•su•al (sen shu – al) adj.
1. Relating to or affecting any of the senses or a sense organ; sensory.
2. a. Of, relating to, given to, or providing gratification of the physical and especially the sexual appetites.
b. Suggesting sexuality; voluptuous.
c. Physical rather than spiritual or intellectual.
d. Lacking in moral or spiritual interests; worldly.
“The Holy Spirit here warns us concerning the Last Times when people would be Sensual not having the Spirit. These are people who would enter the churches not simply people outside the churches; else we would not need to be warned against them. It is commonly felt that “Sensual” always is synonymous with sexuality; however the context here is with regards to the physical ‘senses’—’Feelings’ and ‘sensations’. We have five senses; Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste and Scent. We are told that we ‘walk by faith’, as opposed to walking ‘by sight’. -2 Corinthians 5:7 ‘For we walk by faith, not by sight’. This is simply a reminder that our lives must not be governed by our feelings, our senses. Back in the sixties one of the philosophies of the world was always, ‘If it feels good, it IS good’. Another question that is often asked is, ‘Is this so wrong if it feels so right?'”
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Most of the social media messages tell us, continually remind us that God loves us but nearly none of them inform us that the God who loves us, sent His Son to die on a cross for us, and requires and commands us to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20; Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:3) Beware of the half-truth false gospel of today! We must walk in the original Gospel – all of it – if we are to escape and not be “Led away with the error of the wicked.” (2 Peter 3:17)
False prophets will speak about seeking the supposed presence of God yet never preach on the cross, personal holiness, or obedience. Beware.
The only way we can prevent being deceived is by astute study and belief of God’s Word whereby we are able to rightly divide His Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
One saint writes: “Throughout the whole world error and truth travel the same highways, work in the same fields and factories, attend the same churches, fly in the same planes and shop in the same stores. So skilled is error at imitating truth that the two are constantly being mistaken for each other. It takes a sharp eye these days to know which brother is Cain and which is Abel!”
Those who do not submit to God in their daily personal life, calling upon the LORD to circumcise and purify their hearts, will be caught up in and snared by sensuality. They will live by the senses, the flesh, and not the Spirit and be sent by God Himself a “strong delusion” so that they “believe a lie” and are ultimately “damned.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
Some seek the rush of a sensual feeling instead of the reality of the risen Savior – through the cross life!
“I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.” Revelation 3:1
HAVE you noticed how these new lightweight “churches” brag about their “Top 10 Core Values”? What a joke! In other words they pick out 10 socially acceptable things most people will like and that’s their top 10. And they do this instead of simply announcing that they endeavor to adhere to the whole of the Bible. KJB. Lame.
The primary way God leads His NEW Testament church is by the Holy Scriptures and not self-appointed false prophets and false apostles (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalms 119:105; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).
Those who pretend to be today’s prophets aren’t grounded in the written Word! RUN!
Scripture often warns us of those who would seduce us away from Christ – just as an adulterous woman seeks to seduce a husband away from his wife!
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” Mark 13:22
“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.” 1 John 2:26
“Not Withstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” Revelation 2:20
“And this I say (here’s the reason I write you!), lest any man should beguile you with enticing words … As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2:4, 8-10
“Church” attendance was never ordained by God to displace, to replace the personal study of His Word. Church membership endears the people, the prey, to the organization and it’s leaders and members and not to the LORD Himself. This has displaced the individual priesthood and fellowship God ordained for each and every individual believer. Lots of people replace personally diligently seeking the LORD with going to “church.” They either merely dabble with or don’t even personally study God’s Word for themselves and yet are members in good standing at these local entertainment centers many call “church.” The pastors have sold them on this lifestyle by promoting and emphasizing church membership and not discipleship.
Seminaries are wolf factories. The protestant seminaries were infiltrated by the vatican jesuits decades ago and are now marketing schools producing greedy wolves who set up church busine$$ to market the gospel – which is the meaning of taking the name of the LORD in vain! (Exodus 20:7). Satan’s Seminaries Exposed!
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7
To take the name of the LORD in vain is to use His name for any other purpose except true, honest worship of Him! Those who use the name of Jesus to make dishonest gain by exploiting people for their own self-serving purposes, are not guiltless before a holy God!
Many Seek the Presence and not the Person, the Face of Jesus Christ!
If you name the name of Christ, this writer, this disciple would encourage you to honestly search out this whole “seeking the presence” cult. Contemplative prayer and spiritual formation are a cheap counterfeit for a real walk with God. They substitute a real walk with Jesus wherein He commands us to seek and obey HIM, not merely His presence. When we do seek HIM and obey Him, He promises to manifest Himself to those who obey His Word (John 14:21-23).
Perhaps those who seek the presence of God and not the face of God, are simply looking for some kind of feeling. They have not truly repented and are self-willed and living out of a self-serving agenda.
God plainly told us that he will only give His presence to those who know, seek, and obey Him – and not those who merely seek His presence (John 14:21- 23).
Those who seek His HAND instead of His FACE are completely self-serving, cross-less idolaters!
“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his FACE continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
WE seek the PERSON of Christ and not merely the PRESENCE of Him. Beware of this deception saints. When we seek the FACE of the LORD, He will fill us with His Spirit and make His abode in and with us. Our part is to worship and obey Him and not to merely seek His presence. Many who are not seeking to know the LORD seek a feeling instead of seeking the face of the LORD! Beware of this idolatrous spiritual adultery. These same people are not studying and grounded in the Word or the cross of Christ.
Let’s look at who Jesus says truly loves Him:
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. … 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:21, 23
In this passage above, Jesus teaches us that His presence, He and His Father, abide in the lives of those who are His (born again) and presently obeying Him.
Those who love Jesus seek His Word and obey Him. These true disciples, God manifests Himself to. These are those He chooses to make His abode with and not those who simply seek to exploit the LORD for a feeling they call His presence. Beware!
Many today seek a feeling, a sensation and not the Savior! They’ve allowed the false leaders of today to mislead them.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away … Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:5,7
Those not submitted to the authority, the power of God which is Christ, have only a mere “form of godliness.” As was specifically foretold, today we see the fulfillment of Paul’s warning where we have so many with a mere “form of godliness.” In their daily lives they deny, reject “the power” or the authority of Jesus to reign. When Jesus reigns in a life, His cross is central to that person’s life. They are grounded in the cross – the crucified life – without exception.
Yet today we see some who never grow after being saved because false ministries have intercepted them from the LORD. Those false prophet ministries emphasize any and everything except Jesus Christ!
The vast majority of today’s pastors are sensually soliciting their prey to worship at the altar of self and not soundly grounding their audience in the cross and sound doctrine which is God’s written Word!
So many run to pack themselves in with the herd, to get turned on in what is supposed to be praise and worship. Some of it is a hollow sound and mere lip service.
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” Matthew 15:8
The hoards consist of the same souls who do not daily, diligently seek the LORD in His Word and a set apart life of prayer (Matthew 6:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). They do not live a crucified life! (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20, 24, etc.) They are “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” because they are not being grounded in the Word of God.
The powder puff pansies use fake news “bibles” instead of the KING JAMES BIBLE.
Any leader not getting you into God’s Word for yourself, is absolutely a wolf! Run!
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
The Witchcraft of the Modern Church!
There is no instance in the 27 books of the New Testament canon where God’s people gathered to be entertained and enamored in what the modern church falsely claims to be praise and worship.
Those false ministries who stage these events are appealing to your natural senses, your emotions. They are on a marketing journey – to sell their prey into a community and not to root them in Christ!
Proof? Name 5 people you know who attend such false churches who can quote just 5 Bible verses they’ve memorized. Case closed!
Seeking and Knowing the LORD Himself!
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10
Jesus told us that the chief purpose that He came is that we might know Him and the Father. Such a cardinal, central Gospel truth is never heard in modern apostate churches today!
“And this is life eternal (the whole divine reason for it), that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3
The cross reveals your sin, and God’s love, not how wonderful you are! Repent!
Beware of this “knowing the Tangible Presence” idea. Spiritual formation and contemplative prayer is heresy! These heretical systems are rooted in the occult and perpetrated by “many false prophets” which Jesus specifically warns us “shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11). Christ’s true disciples today live BY FAITH not feelings (2 Corinthians 5:7). True followers of Jesus live by the Word of God and not by their senses, their feelings (Psalms 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). Yet, many today are being led to conjure up a feeling, not realizing they are summoning up evil spirits that pose as the Holy Spirit of God – another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:2-4, 11-15). Those who seek an experience instead of seeking the face of the LORD, will be misled by evil spirits and false prophets (1 Chronicles 16:11). Many today are sensual and not truly spiritual in the biblical sense. There is no cross at the center of their lives (Colossians 3:3). Their daily life is not rooted in Christ – the cross! They have been led by the self-serving wolves of today’s modern church to get addicted to a feeling instead of growing in grace and obeying the LORD and Savior Himself. Self-idolatry. They love to go do what some falsely call “praise and worship” to get that feeling. Praise and worship are biblical and yet, not what many have made it out to be. There are many houses of worship if you will, which do not have Christ, the cross, at the center and therefore are not worshiping the LORD by teaching the pure, sound doctrine of the Word of God – the King James Bible. These ravenous wolves know how the church busine$$ works and so they front with a good band, good music, using young, gifted people as their pawns as they stage their deceptive exploitation, hiding behind that good music! Beware saints.
Wolves entertain goats and market their church busine$$ to grow, to gain nickels, noses, and numbers. True under-shepherds ground God’s people in the daily cross, in the fear of God, and in the sound doctrine which is the written Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 4:2-4; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).
This is a big part of the end time deception we were often warned of….
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Have you ever been part of this type “church”? I sure have. Think about it. If you’re like myself, you enjoyed the praise and worship (to some degree) and yet, were left empty due to the lame “word” and lack of biblical teaching. Can anyone relate?
In any given town in America, one can search high and low, near and far, and never find even one pastor who is true to God. Is this not a fulfillment of prophecy?
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
If you still believe that most pastors today are true, stay deeply in God’s Word daily and your discernment will change. You will begin to realize that over 90% of today’s pastors are “accursed” wolves and we know this because they do not preach the original Gospel that Christ and His holy apostles preached and gave us (Jude 3).
Modern church false gospel …. No repentance, no sin, No judgment, no holiness, no cross, No warnings to beware of false prophets and heresies, no return of Christ for a spotless – sinless – bride, no Christology (study of Christ!) …
Those who preach any other gospel other than the original and complete Gospel of Jesus Christ, are “accursed.”
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9
Then Paul reveals why false leaders do not preach the original, the real and whole Gospel of Christ – because they love self and therefore fear and cater to mere men and not Jesus Christ!
“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

WHY were 24,000 of God’s People Killed at Peor? [podcast]
“Baal was most often portrayed as a strong warrior and was considered the god of storms and fertility. He was said to rule from his palace atop Mount Zaphon, the highest peak in Syria. Baal is referenced several times in the Bible’s Old Testament, where he is depicted as the main rival of the god of the Israelites.”
We must understand that God is severe in His judgment of rebels of which there are “many” who claim they are saved. Eternal damnation awaits all rebels (Matthew 7:13-23, etc.).
“Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” Romans 11:22
DIVINE JUDGMENT, the “severity of God,” IS NOT GOING AWAY JUST BECAUSE YOU OR SOME FAKE PREACHER IGNORES IT!
Christians avoid doing as did the Israelites when they worshipped baal by worshipping the LORD, the Father and Jesus Christ “in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 1 John 1:3) This begins with fresh and complete repentance, confession of all sin, and denouncing of all dependence, idolatry, all pagan practices like yoga and mantra chanting, etc., and by understanding that truly worshiping the LORD, the one true God, is based on sincere loyalty to Him and not to get things from Him like success or possession in this fleeting world. The heart of the disciple of Jesus must be circumcised perpetually and this is happening as we examine our hearts for idols, the daily crucified life, living a life of prayer, setting boundaries against temptations, and being wholly accountable to the LORD, while avoiding syncretism (mixing pagan rituals with Christian practice) and prioritizing God’s Word.
Deuteronomy 4:1-10
24,000 of God’s own people, men, departed from obeying the instruction, the standard, the Word of God and were destroyed. They partook in the soul damning sin of fornication.
“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you. 4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day. 5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? 9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; 10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.” Deuteronomy 4:1-10
Departing from the pure Word of God always leads to sinful living as was the case with 24,000 of God’s people’s worship at Baal Peor.
“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4
In Deuteronomy 4, Moses warns God’s people not to change or depart from the LORD’s Word and brings up the example, reminds the people of God’s judgment upon 24,000 of His own people for doing so (Numbers 25).
Of the worship of Baal-Peor, one writer notes:
“Yet what was this worship of Baal-Peor and why did it draw such wrath from God? Baal-Peor is a Moabite god who was worshipped with obscene rituals. The name means ‘Lord of the Opening’ from Baal meaning owner/ husband and Peor coming from pa’ar meaning ‘open wide.’ ‘I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to that shame; They became an abomination like the thing they loved.’ (Hosea 9:10) The worship of Baal-Peor IS an abomination. Notice that those who join themselves to Baal-Peor also ‘become’ an abomination before the Lord.”
Every person who has an idol, just one, has demons (Deuteronomy 32:17; 1 Corinthians 10:19-21). Repent now. Follow Jesus.
In Deuteronomy 4:3, Moses brings back to the memory of God’s people the judgment that fell upon the 24,000 of His own people for their idolatry and fornication. This idolatrous abomination is recorded in Numbers 25.
“And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.” Numbers 25:6-9
Dear reader, camp out on Numbers 25, the whole chapter. Your life is not complete without this vital component of divine truth.
Of Baal, one source notes:
Baal was a major ancient West Semitic storm and fertility god, meaning “lord” or “master,” prominent in Canaanite and Phoenician cultures, associated with rain, thunder, and agriculture, and often depicted with a thunderbolt. He was seen as a powerful deity, central to life, but became a focal point of biblical opposition as Israel’s worship of him (linked to lust and sometimes child sacrifice) was seen as idolatry against God, culminating in Elijah’s famous challenge on Mount Carmel. In later demonology, Baal (or Bael) is a powerful archdemon, and the name appears in various modern media as a demon or powerful entity.
In Ancient Religions
- Identity: A powerful god of fertility, weather (rain, lightning, wind), war, and kingship, often identified with the storm god Hadad.
- Worship: Widespread in the Levant (Canaan, Phoenicia) and beyond, with temples and rituals often involving cultic prostitution and sometimes human sacrifice, especially during droughts.
- Mythology: Key myths involve his battles with the sea god Yamm and the god of death Mot, representing natural cycles, and his dwelling on Mount Zaphon.
- Biblical Conflict: The Bible portrays Baal worship as a major temptation for Israelites, a rival to God, whose priests (including those of the Phoenician goddess Asherah/Astarte) were famously confronted by Elijah.
In Demonology & Culture
- Demon: In demonology, Bael (Baal) is a powerful archdemon, often the first of the three kings of Hell in grimoires, associated with invisibility and wisdom.
- Modern Media: The name appears in many forms, from Diablo and Dungeons & Dragons (Bhaal/Bael) to anime like Gundam and Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, often as a powerful demon or god.”
Not one of us has lived perfectly holy and yet, at this moment in time, some will choose to truly repent and confess their sins and others will refuse (Proverbs 28:13). Eternity depends on true repentance which always, without fail, yields a changed life, a holy life (Matthew 3:7-10; Luke 13:3).
“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
These 24,000 Israelites were slain for their sin. God is still holy and “The wages of sin” is still death (Romans 6:23; Ezekiel 18:4).
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4
Zimri, a Simeonite (of the tribe of Simeon) was the Israelite whom Phinehas, grandson of Aaron, did slay for his utterly audacious display of sin, having brought the fornication in the middle of the camp of God’s people and even into the midst of their worship (Numbers 25:6, 14).
The great apostle brings this very incident to account 1 Corinthians 10:1-12 and warns New Testament saints never to partake lest they also be destroyed. The sins Paul cites form the natural acronym L.I.F.T.M. = lust, idolatry, fornication, tempting Christ, murmuring.
5 Soul Damning Sins Named! Learning from History! [podcast]
The spear of Phinehas must begin with ourselves – as we truly repent, lay down our lives in this world, and cut off the hand, pluck out the eye of any sin in our lives. The conscious eternal suffering, the severity of eternal judgment coming on any person who dies in sin is most profoundly declared by the Son of God Mark 9:43-49. Many of the new fake “bibles” removed this important passage.
The new “bibles” have lowered the standard and weakened many by their changing of God’s Word which Moses specifically warns us of in this main text, Deuteronomy 4.
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19
Departing from the Word of God, not obeying God on His stated terms, is the sure way to be weakened, destroyed, here and eternally. The LORD speaks often in His Word about this.
“Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:” Jeremiah 26:2
Each Man is Choosing to Drink from One Cup or the Other
Baal was ultimately Satan himself and involved things like sacrificing ones own child in exchange for being blessed by this false good. Jesus informed us that Satan has come “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10).
As was the case at Baal Peor, Satan is behind every idol and so all idolatry is the worship of Satan.
“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:19-22
This passage above is speaking of the Baal Peor event and also to the temptation of Satan and his children today. Baal worship is alive and well today, calling God’s people to worship at the altar of devils, to partake is vile atrocities that separate one to Satan and away from the LORD. “No man can serve two masters” and anyone living in sin is not serving the one, true, holy LORD and Savior (Matthew 6:24)
“They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.” Psalms 106:28-31
One writer notes:
“Baal Peor, or the Baal of Peor, was a local deity worshiped by the Moabites. When the Israelites, following Moses to the Promised Land, were in the vicinity of Peor, some of them fell into idolatry and worshiped Baal Peor. As a result of their sin, the men of Israel were judged by God.”
Baal Peor consisted of the worship of a false god, Satan, and fornication. Satan is behind the worship of all idols and such idolatry is filled with his devils/demons (1 Corinthians 10:19-22).
Modern day types of Baal Peor are the pornography, strip clubs, and everything in our society that has to do with any form of fornication. Movie and media are filled with such evil. The 24,000 who were destroyed in Moses day (Numbers 25), departed from the Word of God and the standards set forth there for holiness and the divine prohibition of sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman (1 Thessalonians 4:1-8). Read Deuteronomy 4 and Numbers 25 side by side.
“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
Before their blunder at Peor, after God brought them out of Egypt (the world), Israel was innocent. Judgment, destruction ensued their sin of all who participated. Today, we can witness that many who once worshipped God with a pure heart, have now turned away to the worship of idols involving fornication of all kinds. Those who would rebuke these backsliders could be liked unto Phinehas.
“I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.” Hosea 9:10
“I found Israel – The Lord speaks of himself in the person of a traveler, who unexpectedly in the wilderness finds a vine loaded with grapes; such love did God bear to Israel. Your fathers – Whom I brought out of Egypt. As the first – ripe – As the earliest ripe fruit of the fig – tree, which is most valued and desired. Separated themselves – Consecrated themselves to that shameful idol. Their abominations – Their idols, and way of worshipping them. As they loved – As they fancied.” John Wesley
Deuteronomy 4, Numbers 25, and 1 Corinthians 10 speak of the same event – the sin of God’s people in Baal worship at Peor and the consequent divine judgment that fell upon 24,000 of them. This is an eternal memorial for the judgment of God against all sin, namely idolatry and fornication.
“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:19-22
“To abstain from idol feasts was the clear duty of all Christians. By partaking of heathen sacrifices which were offered to demons, they became one with the demons and their votaries; just as in the Lord’s Supper we show our oneness not only with the Savior but with each other. It was clear, therefore, that the Corinthian Christians could not consistently partake of idol feasts and the Lord’s Supper. What an incentive is given here to frequent and reverent participation in the Lord’s Supper! It proclaims our union with Him and His people, and it gives us a distaste for all that is alien to its spirit.” FB Meyer
Those who depart from the standards set forth in God’s Word separate themselves to idols, to devils and are under divine judgment from the unchanging God (Malachi 3:6).
The Examples of Phinehas and Jael
Perhaps we can liken what Phinehas did in spearing the sin out of the camp of God’s people, with those who call His people to worship Him in Spirit and in truth and according to His pure, uncorrupted Word (Numbers 25:10-18; Psalms 12:6-7; Proverbs 30:5-6; Revelation 22:18-19). Phinehas boldly, courageously in the fear of God stood up and stamped out sin in the camp. The judgment ended. Those who stand and boldly, fearlessly declared the Word of God and call out sin among God’s people, are the Phinehas’ of our day. Do we have a Phinehas priesthood in our midst?
“Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalms 94:16
In Job 4:21-22; 5:24-27 we read about another bless-ed patriarch of the faith who stood up, who rose up against sin, slaying a wicked king.
In both the cases of Phinehas and Jael, these biblical accounts make specific record that the LORD greatly blessed these faithful followers of His, and their families, and He will do the same today for His true bold witnesses who stand against the evil of this late hour.
