Being Berean: Various Subjects and
The Bible's Answers
The Berean's heard Paul and Silas preaching
in the synagogue, and they were commended for listening and searching the
scripture as to whether or not the things that they had heard were true.
(Acts 17:10-11)
With that in mind, there are many things that Christian's do that
don't always line up with the Bible. It is the responsibility of every Christian
to see if what they are doing is glorifying to God, so if a Christian who is
honestly mistaken hears the truth, they will either quit being mistaken or cease
to be honest!
Since most Christians react with hostility to
information that contradicts what they know to be true. It is our hope that you
would re-examine your assumptions of truth through the clear lens of a sincere
Biblical analysis. One of
the most wonderful aspects of the Good News is the fact that “God
is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.
(Galatians 6:7)
The truth is, the Strong Delusion
the LORD promised he would bring is closely related to the lies that have been
told – and God warned them that “I
will choose their delusion” (Isaiah 66:4), “…because
they received not the love of the truth…”
2 Thessalonians 2:10

There are many people in the last 150 years who have been
brainwashed into believing that anyone who is critical of Israel or the Jewish
people is an anti-Semite. This is what the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and
other attack groups would have you believe. Webster’s dictionary defines
anti-Semitism as “hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a
religious, ethnic, or racial group.” According to that definition, you will find
in reading the Old Testament that God also seems to be anti-Semitic. But we know
that is not the case. Any material this ministry has published that is critical
of Israel or the Jews always uses the Bible as the source of truth. We don’t
hate the Jews but Christians have been taught a double standard that means
separate rights and a two-tier salvation plan. This is unscriptural and
heretical. Any Christian holding to such a belief needs to re-examine their
assumptions of truth through the clear lens of a sincere Biblical analysis.

Too many Christians are enthusiastically
celebrating pagan holidays, thinking they are Christian. Once you understand how
very pagan America and the rest of the Western world has become, you can see how
God's judgment cannot be far behind. Our holidays have been copied from paganism
and simply given Christian names. You will be shocked to realize how very pagan
our annual celebrations are and how most of the symbols used in our holidays
originated within paganism.

An Open Letter
to Tiger Woods - Why would I write a letter to Tiger Woods? I don’t play
golf nor do I follow the sport but I felt sorry for a man that has damaged his
life over sleazy sex and possibly destroyed his marriage. As Christians living
in the United States, it is important to realize how the unsaved people think
and live and their rejection of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Young men
and women are cheating on their spouses, destroying their families and causing
their children grief by divorce. God has the answer to all these broken people
but they will never find out that God loves them and Jesus is ready to save them
if we don’t tell them.

Is Ted Pike
Anti-Semitic? -
It was with great sadness that I read a letter from Ted Pike in which he tells
about a boycott he is receiving from the mainstream Christian leadership because
the word has been put out that he is anti-Semitic. Why are these Christian
leaders acting in such a fashion against a fellow soldier of the Lord?

Dutch Sheets' Response to the
Recent Presidential Election - Was what happened Tuesday God’s will? I am
quite confident it was not. America was offered a very clear choice between
moving further toward protecting the unborn or further away; between a Supreme
Court that would move toward honoring God, life and morality or away from it.
The stakes couldn’t have been higher nor the cost greater. As a nation we put on
blinders concerning Barack Obama’s background, associations, beliefs and
practices, and set these causes back years, possibly decades. And in doing so we
took another step away from God and His plans for America, and another step
toward judgment.

immediate, not gradual, and permanent — that is, recovery is "genuine" as
opposed to progressive.

had this problem began getting results.
The tattoo epidemic is not only sweeping over
the unsaved people in the world but is also making great inroads into the Church
of Jesus Christ. Tattoos represent two things, rebellion against God, and
conformity to the masses in the world. God has clearly stated in his Word that
men and women are not to mutilate the skin of their bodies (Leviticus 19:28).
Demon oppressed Christians try to eliminate verse 28 by incorrectly quoting the
previous verse which says you are not supposed to trim your hair or beard. Verse
27 correctly applied refers to men and women adorning themselves for occult
rituals, this is not the same as someone merely getting a haircut or shaving off
his beard. Tattoos and body piercing are now preparing people for the mark of
the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18, 14:9-12).
