Sounding Off On My
Personal Soapbox
These pages consist of my 'sounding offs' directed towards pastors and their people dealing with the quotes and comments I have heard from them
that are simply WRONG in their teachings today, with me hoping somebody would read and listen to my comments and wise up to Scriptural Truth and give up on their opinion and self-taught beliefs!
(...and I can honestly say, "Been there, done that myself!")

Today's Pastors and modern Christians
as well as just about everyone associated with today's Christianity
reject the following Scriptural Truths...
as well as just about everyone associated with today's Christianity
reject the following Scriptural Truths...
The King James Bible - as they all use all their 'favorite' modern bible amongst the 500+ modern versions that are available - IF they use any bible at all!
Paul as our ONLY apostle today - by their constant use of the gospels and the twelve apostles to the Jews! The conspiracy against Paul as found in Acts 23:12-15 still exists today as strong and real as ever!
Paul's Greater Commission to Gentiles - by their constant use of the 'Great Commission' of Mark 16:16-21 which includes asking for and following signs, speaking in tongues, miracles and wonders, all of which the scriptures say those are all the means of the Devil today as he continues to demand worship to his being like the most High!
English in the King James Bible - by their constant quoting of the 'Original Greek' - which does not exist! Using the 'Greek' in a sermon shows to their congregation that they really can't read or understand the Scriptures themselves without a bible education. So, without that education, they must follow the final authority of their pastor, which really is no different than people following the Pope.
The 'goodness of God' as taught by Paul - instead they preach the old testament's 'severity of God' trying to scare people into a salvation based on a false gospel and 'another gospel' of God's daily punishment and fear. Congregational followers of the severity of God produce conceited and proud self-proclaiming Christians who think they walk a walk of sinless perfection (of course with those occasional moments of confessing sins to keep their walk clean and perfect and full of Godly wisdom) even though Paul says in Romans 2:4 ... the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

In these pages under the 'NO" heading, you can read their exact quotes AND my responses in a manner that some would consider rude, or pushy.
I have simply grown tired and often times irritated enough to want to stand up and debate the comments right then and there! When I do talk to people, they just get defensive, often angry and hurt because THEY HAVE NO SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE OR SUPPORT and I believe that embarsses them. They KNOW they don't have any proof of why they believe what they do - only that their pastor has taught them their wonderful denominational beliefs.
These pages are my outlet, just in case there is that rare individual who knows something is wrong in their church, or from what their pastor is teaching, or knows the music is not worship and is nothing but congregational entertainment - and wants to know what is going on these days - and is willing to submit, not to me, but to the final authority of the inspired, itinerant, perfect and preserved Scriptures - the word of Truth - the words of God in the Word of God from the 400+ year old NOT archaic King James Bible.
I can simply show them what the Scriptures say TO them - and they can decide for themselves. However, I realize that just about everyone does not trust the KJB to be the Scriptures and without that base in a discussion, there is almost no reason to talk to anyone anymore.
So, for almost every discussion that takes place, you will eventually be talking about the KJB as the ONLY Scriptures. THEN, you can explain how to rightly divide the word of truth. If you can get that far with someone, you MIGHT get them to see - until they ask their pastor about it all, and then you won't seem them again. I have seen that happen over and over.
No wonder Gods says what He says about these pastors and preaches, missionaries, scholars, teachers, and the followers of those people, etc., But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. II Timothy 3:13 and in I Timothy 6:3-5, If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud,2 knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
However, I must also always remember what the risen Christ says to me through Paul in my KJB: And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
II Timothy 2:24-26
sigh! I am so thankful for God's goodness, His forbearance, His patience, His longsuffering and His kindness towards me in my life (Romans 2:3-5) when I was not taught about these things during my Lutheran and/or non-religious years - and especially when someone (Cliff) tried to teach them to me during my 'on staff in the ministry' time of my prideful Baptistic Blindness.
But then again, we all are realizing more and more that we must be living in a time that will soon to be moving into the Tribulational doctrine era. It is getting harder and harder to talk with people - their minds are so far gone already!
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. II Timothy 4:3-5
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; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; I Timothy 4:1,2

So with all that said, I still want to say these things
to show people how wrong these things are!
I will just be careful how I say it!
