Anti-Mormon Pastor Admits To CNN: Religion Should Trump Competence In Elections

video
» 142 comments

Pastor Robert Jeffress is getting his 15 minutes of fame this weekend after publicly declaring that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was a non-Christian “cult” and getting the pleasure of introducing Rick Perry at a speaking engagement. After his initial comment, Jeffress went on Anderson Cooper 360º and made some eyebrow-raising comments about President Obama’s “purported” religion. Today he returned to CNN once more, answering in the affirmative when asked if religion should trump competence in elections.

This time, it was Kira Phillips‘s turn to do the honors, asking him to first reiterate his comments and then respond to Perry distancing himself from them. “I believe that Romney is a good, moral man,” he repeated, and of Perry noting he wasn’t surprised or offended at all, but that he remained a Perry supporter because “there are plenty of reasons I believe conservative evangelicals ought to vote for Rick Perry over Mitt Romney, and Mormonism is only one issue.”

Phillips then turned to religion on a more general plane, asking, “what does religion have to do with being a competent president?” and particularly, whether religion “trumps” competence in itself. Jeffress answered “yes,” citing a quote from founding father John Jay: “we have a duty and a privilege as Christians to select and prefer Christians as our leaders.” “Those of us who are evangelicals have a right to select a competent Christian over a competent non-Christian,” he elaborated, beside noting that Romney had been inconsistent on issues such as abortion which were important to him. When asked whether his religious preferences overshadowing his political ones defied constitutional principles, he called that absurd, as he is not a government entity but an individual, free to “apply any litmus test” he desires.

    Could be the mantra of the Tea Party: “Religion Should Trump Competence In Elections”

  • Anonymous

    If there were ever a justification for abortions, Robert would be it!

  • Re-Elect Obama 2012

    Well, we always knew there was a religious litmus test for holding office. Since we know a professed religious skeptic could never be elected president, the question is whether a Mormon is considered Christian-enough for most Republicans.

    Also, the pastor just looks really dumb in the face. Reminds me of a thumb.

    Interesting point. Yes, and as we will see in the Utah Republican primary, Mormons overwhelmingly prefer Mormons. In fact so much, there will not be another state in the country where Romney garners a higher percentage of the Republican vote.

    I’m sorry, CNN, but this dog won’t hunt.  I can understand why you want to force Romney’s religion into the political dialogue.  But the very fact that you needed to put some obscure no-name preacher on TV to spread this smear shows how desperate you are.  Even your own hosts don’t want to be the people who play the role of bigot here. 

    My advice to the Left:  try defending your actual policies rather than trade in vile smears.  Then, even if you lose next year’s election, you could carry some self-respect away from the defeat.

  • Ricci Dats Me

    Maybe, in view of the GOP candidates, unlike the rest of the country, the folks in UTAH can see that Romney is the ONLY GOP candidate who has yet to illustrate his total lack of intellect? Maybe the UTAH folks are smart for that?

    Last I heard Christianity wasn’t an immutable characteristic, but rather a belief system.  People of the same race may have common experiences, but that doesn’t mean they interpret or react to them the same way based upon the amount of pigment in their skin.

    I’ve not heard a lot from the Tea Party about preferring Christian politicians, anyway.  I think that the Tea Party has taken the place of “neocons” in that every notion that some liberal finds distasteful is automatically ascribed to them.

    Do a survey of 100 random people and find what percent can identify who Robert Jeffress is. 

    I’ll answer that for you — zero percent will be able to identify Robert Jeffress.  CNN only puts him on the air because they want to attack Romney’s religion, but are embarrassed to play the role of bigot themselves.

    It’s disingenuous, disgraceful and transparently partisan.  But, hey, that’s what we have come to expect from CNN.  And it’s why their ratings sink lower and lower each year. 

  • Cecelia

    Well, if Pastor Jeffress is any indication, the head of the SBC is not so demented as to argue that Christians who go against the tenets of SBC faith are candidates that they  would never support.

    For that bit of onerous rigidity (albeit unequally applied in your case), we have YOU as the prime example.

  • Cecelia

    Based upon your own expressed opinions, the only difference between you and Jeffress is that he wouldn’t vote on a non-believer and you won’t vote on anyone espousing Christian heresy.

    Considering that you haven’t made the same stipulations towards heretics of any other religion inluding atheists who outright deny a deity, Jeffress’ stance is far and away more coherent than yours.

    A cult is a hundred people generally following 1 or 2 power crazed fanatics.  Mormons are in the many millions of people.  All religions are based on faith in something unseen and supernatural.  My opinion of a religion is generally based on how the people conduct themselves.  Mormons don’t smoke or drink much, and seem to be pretty successful and law abiding.  

    The Left ran a series of stories in Time magazine and other places trumpeting polygamy, etc., all coinciding with Romney’s last run.  Of course, Huck kind of played up the angle the last time around as well.  I think the anti-Mormon thing has run its course, but I realize some Christians still have a hang up about it.

    Let’s face it, when was the last time someone complained that a Mormon mugged or robbed him.  There just isn’t much to complain about.  I’m saving my criticism for something worth complaining about.

    Do remember that he didn’t tell the rich man to give his riches to any sort of govt body to be dispersed.  Jesus wasn’t advocating distant codified redistribution, but alms directly to the poor from this man’s hands and heart.

    I have a different theory about that story but no matter. I only referenced it to respond to the foolishness that poor people are stealing by receiving help from other taxpayers.

    I think what Jesus meant was to help the poor and see to their needs, period, the end. I’ve never met a liberal that claimed Jesus specifically advocated government programs. Private personal giving and action. Wonderful. Charitable organizations, great. And, as you say, Governments providing social safety nets. All serve the purpose of seeing to the needs of the less fortunate which is what liberals tend to support.

    What seems a contradiction to liberals is the apparent contradiction of the willingness to slash funding for these programs while talking about much the country needs to return to God, and our founding on Christian principles {which isn’t even true}

    To be fair, this guy is no more than a religious apparatchik, whose financial wellbeing is directly related to how hard he presses this one issue.

    Smarmy to the point of toxicity, yes, but ultimately just doing his job.

    Yes and Bryan Fischer who was on after the good pastor was denigrating the Ft. Hood shooter for putting ISLAM above his ‘citizenship’…can you IMAGINE???  These stupid, fear mongering aholes.  Really does ANYBODY believe that God speaks thru them?

    HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, this is too funny.  I wonder what people would be saying had a Muslim said something like this. Religion, that’s all we need a bunch of religious freaks making laws for the rest of us.  Gotta love the same people who are bitching and moaning about Sharia taking this line of thought when it comes to Amerikan politics

    Mormonism is a cult? HA!

    ALL of religion, more or less, is a cult.  The Religious Right IS a cult!  A very dangerous one that wants to impose its radical views on America and take away time-honored freedoms.  All because they’re a bunch of BABIES that can’t handle people LIVING IN A NON-TRADITIONAL WAY THAT’S UNLIKE WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE “THE ONLY WAY.”  God, these people are arrogant!

    More like the “Bigoted Voters Summit”, if you ask me.

    Do moralists even BELIEVE in privacy or the right to privacy?  They seem so concerned with WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING, esp. in private.  They bitch nonstop about gays like they’re the Plague and claim to “know” so much about them.  I guarantee you that VERY FEW of them have even MET gay people!  And if they even have 1 gay friend, he’s probably one of the worst, most stereotypical gays on the planet that only “reaffirms” their bigoted views.

    And/or one of those “gays who converted” with reparative therapy.

  • http://twitter.com/Brandon2469 Brandon

    The SADDEST thing about them is that A LOT of them are incredibly anti-American.  I mean, going around talking about how “sick” America is or how we’re nothing but a bunch of ‘sinners’ and therefore are CONDEMNED to all sorts of natural disasters, political disasters, etc. is pretty low.  And WHY do they think America is such a “cesspool of immoral behavior”, so to speak?  BECAUSE OF NONSENSE THEY SAW ON TV or crap they heard on their favorite websites or idiotic publications!  NOT from any credible sources that ACTUALLY can somehow “affirm” that America is INCREDIBLY less moral overall than, say, many decades ago.

    Yes, America has lost SOME moral fiber in the past 50 years or so, but the idea that we’re DROWNING IN SIN is ludicrous.  There are STILL several million Americans (probably at least 60-70%) who are pretty damn moral and decent.  There are STILL plenty of neighborhoods with low crime rates and decent families.  Hell, all throughout the ’90s and until recently, the national crime rate WAS PLUMMETING, not increasing.

  • http://twitter.com/Brandon2469 Brandon

    Most Americans are STILL hard-working, honest, moral people who are just trying to get by and not have to harm another.  The fact that there may be slightly MORE immoral, lying, cheating or hateful people out there DOES NOT in any way indict the rest of us.  When a NORMAL American hears nonsense about how “filthy” America is from a Religious Right leader, they REALLY have to scratch their heads in disbelief!  

    And you gotta wonder about how these folks REALLY operate if they’re SOO concerned about “America’s moral fiber” that they spend HOURS ‘researching’ the raunchiest and/or most graphic TV shows, movies, magazines, maybe even pornography itself.  Something YOU’RE not telling us, pastor?

    Robert Jeffress is crazy I don’t think religion shouldn’t trump competence and I don’t care what faith one has if good I will vote for you and if I agree with a lot on issues you also have my vote.

  • HawkCW4

    boy are you delusional.  Where have you ever seen that stated.  The last time I heard religion was a big deal in a presidential election was when Kennedy was running.  Everyone was afraid we would all have to become Catholic.  Stupid Stupid Stupid    Romney like everyone else is entitled to the religion of choice and it has no bearing on the election.  For someone to state Religion is more important than Competence is equally stupid stupid stupid.  But to judge someones abilities by the religion they profess is the biggest stupid of all.   I was raised a Mormon and now Im not,  My choice, and in this Country, thats everything, choice.  I know many of Romney’s relatives and they are all great people,  they just have their own religion, I have mine and they do not cause any conflicts.  Orin Hatch, great Senator from Utah and at times I dont like his voting, but he once said,  give the welfare problem to the LDS church and it wont cost tax payers hardly a thing to take care of the needy.  I believe he is right.

    Sir, look at this last weekend…hell, look at the title of this post for Christ-sake.

    I’ve been to maybe a dozen Tea Parties and I’ve seen the signs and heard the speeches about Obama’s religion.  Watch Fox News and you’ll see the same CONSTANT attacks on Obama for their perception of his religion.  Also, I’m from Utah sir, and I know well the LDS church’s amazing wellfare programs.  But I also know how the LDS church tells its members how to vote, who to vote for and where to put their political donations.  Look at light-rail in SLC, or Prop 8 in California.   Orrin Hatch can say that the LDS church could solve the poverty problem in the USA, but the answer would be a 10% tax on every household.

  • WardMD

    NEWS FLASH (for stupid preachers):  Mormons believe in Jesus Christ (as the Son of God).

    Or, in SIMPLE terms (for same stupid preacher), Mormons ARE Christians (by definition).

    PERIOD.

    p.s.  I’m a Catholic (which is ALSO a Christian faith).

  • Marika_p

    I’m a Mormon, and all I have to say is how awesome it is to live in a country where people still have the freedom of speech and religion. I don’t get why belittling Mormons has become so socially acceptable in an overall climate of tolerance, so to people like Reverand Jeffress I just have to say…”bring it on”. You tell me I am not a Christian, I’ll still bring you a casserole.

  • MaybeMaybenot

    That’s funny.  I’m LDS.  I’ve been voting for 30 years now.  The LDS church has never told me, NOT ONCE, “how to vote, who to vote for, or where to put [my] politicial donations.”  And it’s not like I haven’t been listening.  Every year, around election time, in the main Sunday worship service, they read a letter from church HQ in Salt Lake City, saying in essence, “we’re not gonna tell you who to vote for; just study the candidates and the issues and make a wise choice according to your conscience.”

    Thirty years, uncleduke.  I’ve never seen it played the way you describe it.

  • Anonymous

    It has been caught on tape, watch 8: The Mormon Proposition. I’ve been to plenty of Sundays at the Ward House my friend, I’ve listened to Bishops state VERY clearly which way to vote on issues. General Conference for example is the church decides its stances on various topics.

    Please stop lying, it’s embarrassing, and a sin.

    An Easter
    Story

    Part two -
    Christ’s Trial

    What I want to do is get angry with
    the whole darn church issue. I know it is big, and that only God and His wisdom
    and time can deal with the pompous ignorance of the men of the cloth. A friend
    of mine once told me that a United Church minister once told her that those who
    wear uniforms, be it priest, doctor or police always make a man high minded and
    arrogant. I think he might have been right. Maybe the more gold, or red they
    wear the greater they are insufferable.

    Right now what appears to be a recent
    phenomenon in the way the Catholic Church, is bullying heads of countries to
    get what they want, a look back in time tells us it is nothing new.

    I’m not going to quote scripture
    here for what I feel is something pulled from all four gospels, Matthew, Mark,
    Luke and John because together they make a whole picture. In part one ‘The last
    Supper’ we saw how the priests themselves went right to Christ in the Garden of
    Gethsemane to take Him to the governor to be tried. The governor found no fault
    with Christ, nor did a visiting head of state named Herod. There you have two
    political leaders in agreement, but the priests whipped the people into a
    frenzy to join their cry for His Crucifixion. Isn’t that what is being done
    today? They knew Christ was God’s Son; but He had revealed their sins unto them
    making the priests angry and despiteful. They wanted to be rid of their
    accuser, saying He was blaspheming God’s Holy Word by confirming He was the Son
    of God.

    When a person is guilty of
    something, he tries to redirect that quilt by blaming another of the very sin
    for which he himself is guilty. Such was the case with the priests’ accusations
    about Christ being blasphemous, when in fact they were guilty of this very same
    thing. The priests’ blasphemy was the desecration of God’s Word revealing the
    truth of His Holy Spirit, while at the same time they were killing His Spirit
    before the people thus nullifying God’s reasons for sending His prophets and
    His Son to bear witness to His Kingdom, and the more abundant life Christ came
    to bring forth to His people. Isn’t that an interesting bitter pill of
    blasphemy?

    Is everyone asleep? Perhaps you
    sleep like the disciples at the Garden of Gethsemane; beware the unthinkable
    will descend upon you. Why don’t you read God’s Word? Why don’t you try to
    understand why we are going through such horrible situations? Why don’t you ask
    questions, the church doesn’t have the answers so go where you can find
    answers?  Is God so unimportant to you
    that He is not worth seeking? He says, in the day you seek me with all your
    heart and soul, I will be found. Is the boil on someone else’s backside more
    important to you than seeking God?

    When I look at the religious
    theologies being taught today through the eyes of the Scriptures I don’t see
    God and His Son being lifted up for man to see, I see Christ being crucified.
    This makes me angry! In addition to being angry I’m extremely frustrated with
    the self-righteous attitude of the sheep that see no error in the blasphemers
    sitting in God’s seat. Many of these leaders who claim they are Christians say
    they don’t live under the law. If they were free from the law they wouldn’t be
    living by it? In truth, they are no different from the Jewish priests who also
    claim God’s law testifies we are to give ten percent of everything we earn unto
    God through handing it over to the church. Show me one place in God’s Word
    where God instructed His sheep to give ten percent of their financial wealth unto
    the church. You won’t find it in the New, nor will you find it in the Old
    because such a commandment doesn’t exist, and those who preach such are blasphemers
    through ministering a doctrine contradicting God’s Word. Is that not the charge
    the priests laid against Christ at His Trial?

    Tithes are mentioned in both the
    Old and New Testament, but those Scriptures are not taught in the church. How
    many people know that the third year is the year of tithing, and that at the
    end of that year we are to tithe the increase we made in that year? For
    example, if you made $500.00 more in the third year than you made in the two
    years prior, you are to tithe that $500.00 by giving it unto the Levite, the
    stranger, the fatherless and the widow that they may eat and be filled,
    Deuteronomy 26:12. This is not the only Old Testament Scripture that speaks of
    tithes; there are several, most of which are associated with sacrifices, and
    the spiritual blessing intended by the revelation of those sacrifices is buried
    under sin because the Christian Church claims the law doesn’t apply to them. One
    would think the church leaders would have an intense desire to understand the
    law because the One they profess to love and follow said He came to fulfill the
    law, which means He came to deliver man from the bondage and sin revealed by
    the law. How can God through His Son deliver man from the bondage and sin
    revealed by the law, if the bondage and sin revealed by the law dwells in the
    heart of those who minister the law, and in the heart of those who proclaim
    they are ministers of Christ who said He came to fulfil the law not to destroy
    the law. It’s time for people to wake up – Christ wasn’t nailed to the Cross
    because He truthfully claimed to be God’s Son; He was nailed to the Cross because
    His knowledge in His Father’s law was a threat to the lucrative business taking
    place inside His Father’s House.

    The New Testament testifies
    Abraham’s tithe unto God was not monetary. Both the Jewish and Christian
    priesthoods claim his tithe unto God was monetary, and both use Abraham’s tithe
    to rob God’s people out of ten percent of their financial income. Read the
    Scriptures – they testify Levi paid tithes in Abraham before he was born,
    Hebrews 7:9 & 10. It is quite obvious this Scripture is not speaking of money
    for it testifies Levi paid tithes in Abraham before he was born. Through
    testifying Levi’s tithe wasn’t monetary, and that he paid tithes in Abraham the
    Scripture says Levi’s tithe is revealed through Abraham’s tithe. That testifies
    the foundation upon which the churches attain immense wealth is a lie. Remember
    here that Christ said He came to fulfil the law, to bring forth the knowledge
    of it, that through the knowledge of sin we could seek God for deliverance from
    sin. Therefore by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in his
    sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin, Romans 3:20. The church, both
    Jewish and Christian, have made the law carnal through their theology of the
    law, and have used the law along with God’s Commandments to judge God’s sheep.
    Who are they to pass judgement? Does judgement not belong to God?

    The sin taking place in the church
    today is no different from the sin Moses testified the Levities partook in, and
    that sin was also present in Abraham’s house whose theology of God came out of
    the linage of Seth whose doctrines of God was founded upon the knowledge God
    brought forth through Noah, and when you read Genesis chapters 6 – 9 it is
    evident that knowledge revealed the wickedness God said He saw in Noah’s day,
    and that wickedness came forth from the philosophies preached by the sons of
    God; same thing is happening today. The Scriptures testify man would be in that
    same state of wickedness when Christ returned.

    What saith the Scriptures; the love
    of money is the root of all evil and those who lust after it cannot serve God
    because their desire is unto the wealth of this world not unto the knowledge of
    God that reveals the wealth of His Kingdom. God delivered Abraham from the
    bondage caused by that sin, and seeing God’s Spirit manifested through God’s
    Deliverance Abraham made sacrifices in his personal life to follow God’s Spirit
    who he saw and heard through God’s Deliverance. Moses was another man who
    received God’s Deliverance, and like Abraham, he also made sacrifices in his
    life to follow God’s Spirit and before he died, he left behind a letter that testifies
    the Levites were a corrupt priesthood who did evil in the sight of the Lord,
    Deuteronomy 31:24 – 29. It’s sad that no one cares to read it. And then there
    is Christ who not only sacrificed His life, but also drank of the cup filled with
    the abominations of the priests for us to receive the Holy Ghost who is not
    present in the house bearing God’s Holy Name because those who minister in
    those houses partake in the sins Christ bore on the Cross. Talk about blasphemy
    – how can these pompous bustards say they are free from the law when their sins
    reveal the law.

    Open your eyes people – look at
    this most current issue concerning creating a civil law to allow same sex
    partners the same social rights as the heterosexual couples. The Catholic
    Church throws forth a loud NO, saying it is a sin. Other denominations are on
    board with this sentiment, but the most vocal is the Catholic Church, even unto
    threating to discontinue basic needs for 68,000 poor individuals in Washington
    DC. How did they accumulate that kind of wealth to be able to do so? If they
    were paying taxes as Christ told them to do when He said render unto Cesar what
    is Clearer’ and unto God what is God’s there would have been money in the
    political coffers to address this need, but instead it is being held over the
    country’s head – I believe it is called blackmail! If the churches were truly
    doing God’s will, how could they not be afraid to go against God’s directive?
    This smells worse than decaying flesh. You may say well, the church gets its
    wealth from tithes and offerings, not to mention their coercion of silly minded
    old people who leave their personal estates to the church; tax free at that!
    Greed and control are in full blossom in the churches, and all those who
    diligently carry out their directives, such as would be government leaders.

    Another issue making headlines today
    is the Catholic Church’s stand on contraceptives. I have a couple thoughts on
    this. To begin with there are no Scriptures that validate the Church’s stand on
    this issue, therefore they have absolutely no right to bring it into God’s
    House. Secondly, I would think that an institution with as many pedophiles and
    gay priests as this one has, the Pope would have learned by now to stay out of
    affairs that are related to sex. The fact that he hasn’t just proves what I
    said earlier, men who wear uniforms are high minded and arrogant. Personally, I
    think the man ought to be ashamed of taking upon himself God’s Holy name when
    the institution he’s the head of is either covering up sex scandals or creating
    new ones.  

    What troubled me the most about the
    church’s stand on the issue pertaining to contraceptives was that President
    Obama caved under the pressure of the church, showing its authority in the
    White House! The spirit in the churches theological teachings spoke to the
    former Unites States President, President George Bush Junior, telling him to
    end the tyranny in Iraq. Here, we have two heads of State allowing the church
    to influence their decisions. It’s quite obvious the spirit who led President
    George Bush Junior to go to war wasn’t God because when God is in the midst of
    something, be it war or otherwise, He manifests himself in the midst of the
    people in the form of Deliverance for the people. That has certainly not been
    the case here! Wake up people! The world is in a worse place today than it was
    before the United States invaded Iraq. This nonsense of following spirit(s)
    founded upon man’s theological beliefs that ultimately stem from what’s in
    man’s heart needs to stop because those spirits do not exalt God; they exalt
    the church whose philosophy of God is based upon the sins that Christ’s
    teachings found in the Gospels testify dwelt in the heart of the
    priesthood.    

    A journey back in time to a day where
    man feared God tells us how the church laid the foundation for the mayhem being
    seen today. So let’s take that walk together in search of the One who holds the
    key to our Deliverance from this horrific mess the church has brought upon us.
    Even if you don’t believe God is capable of delivering us from our current
    state of affliction, don’t you think it’s worth making an effort to find out if
    He can?              

    Earlier in this letter I mentioned
    two other heads of State, Pilate and Herod. After the priests’ handed Christ
    over to stand trial God spoke unto Pilate’s wife through a dream: When Pilate
    sat down on the judgement seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou
    nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a
    dream because of him, Matthew 27:19. Pilate revealed that dream through the
    manner in which he dealt with Christ’s trial, and since deliverance from God is
    given unto man through His Son it is vital that we understand what took place
    at Christ’s trial and why He was crucified. How can you understand His
    Resurrection with knowing why He was tried and killed?

    There is no question what
    priesthood handed Christ over to stand trial; the Scriptures clearly testify that
    priesthood came out of Levi’s linage which came out of the loins of Abraham.
    That priesthood received God’s call under God’s commission upon Moses who told
    the Levites that God was going to raise unto them a Prophet who was like Moses,
    and that they needed to hearken unto that Prophet. That Prophet was Christ, and
    when His teachings revealed the sins committed by those called to be ministers
    unto God, those called to be God’s ministers despised the Prophet God raise up
    because His knowledge of God’s law revealed the sins Moses testified he saw in
    that priesthood sixteen hundred years earlier. Seeing those sins, and knowing
    that God was going to raise up Christ who Moses acknowledged he saw, he warned
    the Levites the day would come when God would visit upon them their iniquities,
    Deuteronomy 31:24 -29. When that day came, they handed the Prophet Moses told
    them God would raise up unto them over to stand trial, with the thought in their
    hearts to have Him crucified because He revealed their sins, that they certainly
    had knowledge of through being ministers of the law God handed down unto them
    through Moses. Now, this picture isn’t pretty, and to many it will be
    uncomfortable, but the truth needs to be told because the world is in hard
    bondage to the sins committed against God by those sitting in houses that bear
    His Holy Name.

    When Pilate and Herod came under
    fire by the priests they didn’t succumb to the pressure of the church as did
    President Obama. Both of those heads of State stood firm on their belief which
    was, the priest’s charge against Christ was bogus. In fact, the Scriptures
    testify Pilate said he knew the priests wanted Christ to be crucified because he
    saw they envied Him, Matthew 27:18. Why did they envy Him? What did He have
    that they wanted? In searching for those answers one must look at the times and
    observe what was taking place in and before the day Christ was handed over to
    stand trial. Throughout His ministry God revealed himself through His Son seen through
    various signs all of which are laid out in the four Gospels. One can easily see
    the disparity the priests must have felt watching God heal the sick, open the
    eyes of a blind man, restore another who was lame from birth, give life to
    another who was dead, etc. through His Son. Those divine healings along with
    the miracles performed by Christ would have most certainly had a huge impact on
    the priests because none of those divine healings and miracles occurred through
    the priests.

    We know from Scripture that the
    witness of God through His Son affected the numbers in the church for the
    Scriptures testify many began following Christ which would have most definitely
    had an impact not only on the churches finances, but also on the priests whose
    heart would have been pierced through witnessing the One they claimed they
    followed revealing himself through someone they despised. In addition to all
    that, they would have been struggling with the controversy that would have been
    present in that day through the people witnessing two theologies of God that
    contradicted one another. Certainly these Words spoken by God that were heard
    by many, ‘This is my Son, in Him I am well pleased’ would have angered the
    priests who showed themselves before the people as being God’s anointed. That
    anger is apparent in the Scripture that testifies the priests slapped Christ’s
    face and spit on Him after they had already handed Him over to be tried. How
    utterly disgusting is this! Is anyone troubled by it?         

    Moving along here, we know from Scriptures
    that both Pilate and Herod found no fault in Christ, and beckoned with the
    priests to let Him go. Seeing their plan to crucify Christ going south they
    stirred the people (obviously speaking of those who hadn’t been touched by God
    through His Son) to support them in their quest to have Christ crucified.
    Seeing their cunningness and that their plan was working, Pilate made another
    attempt to release Christ. He offered up a prisoner to be crucified in lieu of
    Christ. We know of coarse that attempt was unsuccessful, and when Pilate saw
    there was no way to satisfy the blood thirsty priests, and the mob that
    supported them, he made one final announcement being, that he and Herod didn’t
    agree with Christ being crucified, and then he washed his hands in water,
    handed Christ over to the priests and told them he would have no part in crucifying
    a man he found to be just. Satisfied that they had gotten their way, the
    priests didn’t care, which was seen in their response to Pilate when they said,
    His blood will be on our hands. Do you see any fear of God here? No, just
    arrogance without any concern for the bondage and judgement they brought upon
    themselves and God’s sheep who they were to love and lift up unto God through
    being ministers of God’s truths through which God’s Sheep receives God’s deliverance from the bondage and sin pissing out
    of the hearts of those whose primary concern was for the kings gold. Pretty
    darn sick, don’t you think!    

    As for the mob who cried out for
    Christ to be crucified after given the choice between Christ and a murderer
    named Barabbas, they got what they asked for; a murderer was set free in God’s
    House. After killing nearly all God’s prophets, the priests went on to kill God’s
    Son, and all but one of Christ’s disciples including Paul the apostle.
    Throughout their entire calling to this day they have killed God’s Spirit with
    their blasphemous theologies of God’s Word. Nothing has changed; Christ is
    still being crucified today. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for standing idly
    by while this atrocity is taking place right under our nose. It’s not like we
    can’t see it, the church through its lascivious behaviour has taught us they
    are not in their right standing with God. What more do you need people!          

    It’s also quite clear that we are
    not one nation under God; we are one nation under blasphemous church rule, and the
    spirit leading the church is not God. Wake up here people! Stop this nonsense!
    As for the leaders of the state who are struggling to keep their ship afloat,
    don’t bother, it has already sunk! The cow can’t produce what’s needed here.
    Moses saw that in the wilderness of sin when he destroyed the molten calf; the
    image of what he saw in the hearts of the people. Seeing the people’s desire
    for a god they could see with the naked eye the priests made gods of themselves
    for the people, and deceived the people using Abraham’s tithe, to satisfy their
    desire for the gold upon the altar, making the altar a crap table, not a place
    of sacrifice where one sacrifices their sins unto God to receive from God His
    deliverance from sin that bears a testimony of His Son. That testimony through which
    one receives the wealth God commanded the priests to seek after never made it
    to the altar because the priests were more interested in the gold upon the
    altar. Read the Scriptures people! Stop listening to the church! Let no man
    deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a
    falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Who
    opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
    worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself
    that he is God. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall
    consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
    his coming, 2 Thessalonians.

    Indeed a separation from church is
    required here, and all heads of state need to recognize this, and seek God’s
    counsel for a way out of this unimaginable mess the obnoxious bastards sitting
    in God’s seat has brought upon us. When that falling away comes the noose the
    church has around the necks of heads of state will fall off and both the heads
    of state and God’s people will be free to hear God and understand that He is a
    Spirit not seen through the naked eye, but through His Deliverance that bears
    the Testimony of His Son that He called the priests to be ministers thereof. In
    that day, when the latter rain falls, and people are lifted up from earth
    through God’s Deliverance, they will be with Christ, and then will He bring a
    quick end to this utter nonsense taking place inside the houses bearing His
    Father’s Holy name, and the priests will surely remember how caviller their
    forefathers were when they said these words, let His blood be upon our hands. Watch
    people! This day is not far off; you’ll be here to see it.

    The scientific community studies
    with great intensity the universe beyond ours, curious I’m sure about what
    keeps all the planets, suns, moons and even the galaxies in place, rotating
    around one another with great precision, but do not seem to explore the power
    and intelligence which keeps everything working like a fine tuned clock. Even
    to the depths of the galaxies way beyond our capability to see. Nothing down
    here simply floats around without some kind of power behind it.

    God is that power in the never
    ending universe. The native people call Him ‘Creator’, for surely that is what
    He does and is doing. The power of the word of His mouth moves everything, even
    His Spirit which moves animals and birds to migrate. They know His voice. There
    are those on earth who hear and know His voice, unfortunately most that do,
    call the Spirit they hear evil. I couldn’t tell you how many times God has
    shown me something, and confirmed it through asking me to attend church  where I heard the pastor of that church say
    the devil had spoken unto him the very thing God had shown me. God does speak
    to many men of the cloth but they call His Spirit evil because the truth of the
    words of His mouth contradicts their theologies of His Word. What a sad, sad
    situation. I pray for judgement all the time because in that day God’s sheep will
    be free to worship God, and receive His Son who is our Deliverance.     

    When God led me to write this four
    part series, the Last Supper, Christ’s Trial, Crucifixion and Resurrection, I
    didn’t know that the last two letters would be written by the finger of God.
    The ‘Last Supper’ has already been posted on http://www.theresurrection.ca which is
    the website God commanded me to build. This one will be posted there as well.
    The third letter ‘Christ’s Crucifixion’ will be visible when the churches rise
    up to defend themselves against the truth of the letter. In that face to face
    meeting with God the entire world will see the crucifixion of God’s Spirit witnessed
    by the patriarchs, God’s prophets, Christ, His disciples and Paul in the day
    the Scriptures were written. Seek God in that shameful hour and He will lead
    you into the understanding of the Resurrection of His Son, where He will
    deliver you from the bondage caused by erroneous religious theology. As for the
    free will offering God instructed me to place on the site, God has not yet
    brought me to full understanding of His purpose for that free will offering.
    Whether or not you make that offering is between you and God; the site and all
    on it is free, it does not require you to pay to read what God has instructed
    me to place on it. I have no interest in man’s wealth nor a desire to have
    wealth beyond that which is necessary for my basic needs which I have been able
    to manage through working with my hands. I’m going to eat regardless of your
    decision; my table is full, in truth I have great difficulty in being able to
    eat the feast God has prepared and placed before me. There are many empty
    chairs around God’s table, come, join me in eating the Lord’s Supper, the meal
    of divine revelations in Christ Jesus the Son of the Living God, Amen.

    An Easter
    Story

    Part two -
    Christ’s Trial

    What I want to do is get angry with
    the whole darn church issue. I know it is big, and that only God and His wisdom
    and time can deal with the pompous ignorance of the men of the cloth. A friend
    of mine once told me that a United Church minister once told her that those who
    wear uniforms, be it priest, doctor or police always make a man high minded and
    arrogant. I think he might have been right. Maybe the more gold, or red they
    wear the greater they are insufferable.

    Right now what appears to be a recent
    phenomenon in the way the Catholic Church, is bullying heads of countries to
    get what they want, a look back in time tells us it is nothing new.

    I’m not going to quote scripture
    here for what I feel is something pulled from all four gospels, Matthew, Mark,
    Luke and John because together they make a whole picture. In part one ‘The last
    Supper’ we saw how the priests themselves went right to Christ in the Garden of
    Gethsemane to take Him to the governor to be tried. The governor found no fault
    with Christ, nor did a visiting head of state named Herod. There you have two
    political leaders in agreement, but the priests whipped the people into a
    frenzy to join their cry for His Crucifixion. Isn’t that what is being done
    today? They knew Christ was God’s Son; but He had revealed their sins unto them
    making the priests angry and despiteful. They wanted to be rid of their
    accuser, saying He was blaspheming God’s Holy Word by confirming He was the Son
    of God.

    When a person is guilty of
    something, he tries to redirect that quilt by blaming another of the very sin
    for which he himself is guilty. Such was the case with the priests’ accusations
    about Christ being blasphemous, when in fact they were guilty of this very same
    thing. The priests’ blasphemy was the desecration of God’s Word revealing the
    truth of His Holy Spirit, while at the same time they were killing His Spirit
    before the people thus nullifying God’s reasons for sending His prophets and
    His Son to bear witness to His Kingdom, and the more abundant life Christ came
    to bring forth to His people. Isn’t that an interesting bitter pill of
    blasphemy?

    Is everyone asleep? Perhaps you
    sleep like the disciples at the Garden of Gethsemane; beware the unthinkable
    will descend upon you. Why don’t you read God’s Word? Why don’t you try to
    understand why we are going through such horrible situations? Why don’t you ask
    questions, the church doesn’t have the answers so go where you can find
    answers?  Is God so unimportant to you
    that He is not worth seeking? He says, in the day you seek me with all your
    heart and soul, I will be found. Is the boil on someone else’s backside more
    important to you than seeking God?

    When I look at the religious
    theologies being taught today through the eyes of the Scriptures I don’t see
    God and His Son being lifted up for man to see, I see Christ being crucified.
    This makes me angry! In addition to being angry I’m extremely frustrated with
    the self-righteous attitude of the sheep that see no error in the blasphemers
    sitting in God’s seat. Many of these leaders who claim they are Christians say
    they don’t live under the law. If they were free from the law they wouldn’t be
    living by it? In truth, they are no different from the Jewish priests who also
    claim God’s law testifies we are to give ten percent of everything we earn unto
    God through handing it over to the church. Show me one place in God’s Word
    where God instructed His sheep to give ten percent of their financial wealth unto
    the church. You won’t find it in the New, nor will you find it in the Old
    because such a commandment doesn’t exist, and those who preach such are blasphemers
    through ministering a doctrine contradicting God’s Word. Is that not the charge
    the priests laid against Christ at His Trial?

    Tithes are mentioned in both the
    Old and New Testament, but those Scriptures are not taught in the church. How
    many people know that the third year is the year of tithing, and that at the
    end of that year we are to tithe the increase we made in that year? For
    example, if you made $500.00 more in the third year than you made in the two
    years prior, you are to tithe that $500.00 by giving it unto the Levite, the
    stranger, the fatherless and the widow that they may eat and be filled,
    Deuteronomy 26:12. This is not the only Old Testament Scripture that speaks of
    tithes; there are several, most of which are associated with sacrifices, and
    the spiritual blessing intended by the revelation of those sacrifices is buried
    under sin because the Christian Church claims the law doesn’t apply to them. One
    would think the church leaders would have an intense desire to understand the
    law because the One they profess to love and follow said He came to fulfill the
    law, which means He came to deliver man from the bondage and sin revealed by
    the law. How can God through His Son deliver man from the bondage and sin
    revealed by the law, if the bondage and sin revealed by the law dwells in the
    heart of those who minister the law, and in the heart of those who proclaim
    they are ministers of Christ who said He came to fulfil the law not to destroy
    the law. It’s time for people to wake up – Christ wasn’t nailed to the Cross
    because He truthfully claimed to be God’s Son; He was nailed to the Cross because
    His knowledge in His Father’s law was a threat to the lucrative business taking
    place inside His Father’s House.

    The New Testament testifies
    Abraham’s tithe unto God was not monetary. Both the Jewish and Christian
    priesthoods claim his tithe unto God was monetary, and both use Abraham’s tithe
    to rob God’s people out of ten percent of their financial income. Read the
    Scriptures – they testify Levi paid tithes in Abraham before he was born,
    Hebrews 7:9 & 10. It is quite obvious this Scripture is not speaking of money
    for it testifies Levi paid tithes in Abraham before he was born. Through
    testifying Levi’s tithe wasn’t monetary, and that he paid tithes in Abraham the
    Scripture says Levi’s tithe is revealed through Abraham’s tithe. That testifies
    the foundation upon which the churches attain immense wealth is a lie. Remember
    here that Christ said He came to fulfil the law, to bring forth the knowledge
    of it, that through the knowledge of sin we could seek God for deliverance from
    sin. Therefore by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in his
    sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin, Romans 3:20. The church, both
    Jewish and Christian, have made the law carnal through their theology of the
    law, and have used the law along with God’s Commandments to judge God’s sheep.
    Who are they to pass judgement? Does judgement not belong to God?

    The sin taking place in the church
    today is no different from the sin Moses testified the Levities partook in, and
    that sin was also present in Abraham’s house whose theology of God came out of
    the linage of Seth whose doctrines of God was founded upon the knowledge God
    brought forth through Noah, and when you read Genesis chapters 6 – 9 it is
    evident that knowledge revealed the wickedness God said He saw in Noah’s day,
    and that wickedness came forth from the philosophies preached by the sons of
    God; same thing is happening today. The Scriptures testify man would be in that
    same state of wickedness when Christ returned.

    What saith the Scriptures; the love
    of money is the root of all evil and those who lust after it cannot serve God
    because their desire is unto the wealth of this world not unto the knowledge of
    God that reveals the wealth of His Kingdom. God delivered Abraham from the
    bondage caused by that sin, and seeing God’s Spirit manifested through God’s
    Deliverance Abraham made sacrifices in his personal life to follow God’s Spirit
    who he saw and heard through God’s Deliverance. Moses was another man who
    received God’s Deliverance, and like Abraham, he also made sacrifices in his
    life to follow God’s Spirit and before he died, he left behind a letter that testifies
    the Levites were a corrupt priesthood who did evil in the sight of the Lord,
    Deuteronomy 31:24 – 29. It’s sad that no one cares to read it. And then there
    is Christ who not only sacrificed His life, but also drank of the cup filled with
    the abominations of the priests for us to receive the Holy Ghost who is not
    present in the house bearing God’s Holy Name because those who minister in
    those houses partake in the sins Christ bore on the Cross. Talk about blasphemy
    – how can these pompous bustards say they are free from the law when their sins
    reveal the law.

    Open your eyes people – look at
    this most current issue concerning creating a civil law to allow same sex
    partners the same social rights as the heterosexual couples. The Catholic
    Church throws forth a loud NO, saying it is a sin. Other denominations are on
    board with this sentiment, but the most vocal is the Catholic Church, even unto
    threating to discontinue basic needs for 68,000 poor individuals in Washington
    DC. How did they accumulate that kind of wealth to be able to do so? If they
    were paying taxes as Christ told them to do when He said render unto Cesar what
    is Clearer’ and unto God what is God’s there would have been money in the
    political coffers to address this need, but instead it is being held over the
    country’s head – I believe it is called blackmail! If the churches were truly
    doing God’s will, how could they not be afraid to go against God’s directive?
    This smells worse than decaying flesh. You may say well, the church gets its
    wealth from tithes and offerings, not to mention their coercion of silly minded
    old people who leave their personal estates to the church; tax free at that!
    Greed and control are in full blossom in the churches, and all those who
    diligently carry out their directives, such as would be government leaders.

    Another issue making headlines today
    is the Catholic Church’s stand on contraceptives. I have a couple thoughts on
    this. To begin with there are no Scriptures that validate the Church’s stand on
    this issue, therefore they have absolutely no right to bring it into God’s
    House. Secondly, I would think that an institution with as many pedophiles and
    gay priests as this one has, the Pope would have learned by now to stay out of
    affairs that are related to sex. The fact that he hasn’t just proves what I
    said earlier, men who wear uniforms are high minded and arrogant. Personally, I
    think the man ought to be ashamed of taking upon himself God’s Holy name when
    the institution he’s the head of is either covering up sex scandals or creating
    new ones.  

    What troubled me the most about the
    church’s stand on the issue pertaining to contraceptives was that President
    Obama caved under the pressure of the church, showing its authority in the
    White House! The spirit in the churches theological teachings spoke to the
    former Unites States President, President George Bush Junior, telling him to
    end the tyranny in Iraq. Here, we have two heads of State allowing the church
    to influence their decisions. It’s quite obvious the spirit who led President
    George Bush Junior to go to war wasn’t God because when God is in the midst of
    something, be it war or otherwise, He manifests himself in the midst of the
    people in the form of Deliverance for the people. That has certainly not been
    the case here! Wake up people! The world is in a worse place today than it was
    before the United States invaded Iraq. This nonsense of following spirit(s)
    founded upon man’s theological beliefs that ultimately stem from what’s in
    man’s heart needs to stop because those spirits do not exalt God; they exalt
    the church whose philosophy of God is based upon the sins that Christ’s
    teachings found in the Gospels testify dwelt in the heart of the
    priesthood.    

    A journey back in time to a day where
    man feared God tells us how the church laid the foundation for the mayhem being
    seen today. So let’s take that walk together in search of the One who holds the
    key to our Deliverance from this horrific mess the church has brought upon us.
    Even if you don’t believe God is capable of delivering us from our current
    state of affliction, don’t you think it’s worth making an effort to find out if
    He can?              

    Earlier in this letter I mentioned
    two other heads of State, Pilate and Herod. After the priests’ handed Christ
    over to stand trial God spoke unto Pilate’s wife through a dream: When Pilate
    sat down on the judgement seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou
    nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a
    dream because of him, Matthew 27:19. Pilate revealed that dream through the
    manner in which he dealt with Christ’s trial, and since deliverance from God is
    given unto man through His Son it is vital that we understand what took place
    at Christ’s trial and why He was crucified. How can you understand His
    Resurrection with knowing why He was tried and killed?

    There is no question what
    priesthood handed Christ over to stand trial; the Scriptures clearly testify that
    priesthood came out of Levi’s linage which came out of the loins of Abraham.
    That priesthood received God’s call under God’s commission upon Moses who told
    the Levites that God was going to raise unto them a Prophet who was like Moses,
    and that they needed to hearken unto that Prophet. That Prophet was Christ, and
    when His teachings revealed the sins committed by those called to be ministers
    unto God, those called to be God’s ministers despised the Prophet God raise up
    because His knowledge of God’s law revealed the sins Moses testified he saw in
    that priesthood sixteen hundred years earlier. Seeing those sins, and knowing
    that God was going to raise up Christ who Moses acknowledged he saw, he warned
    the Levites the day would come when God would visit upon them their iniquities,
    Deuteronomy 31:24 -29. When that day came, they handed the Prophet Moses told
    them God would raise up unto them over to stand trial, with the thought in their
    hearts to have Him crucified because He revealed their sins, that they certainly
    had knowledge of through being ministers of the law God handed down unto them
    through Moses. Now, this picture isn’t pretty, and to many it will be
    uncomfortable, but the truth needs to be told because the world is in hard
    bondage to the sins committed against God by those sitting in houses that bear
    His Holy Name.

    When Pilate and Herod came under
    fire by the priests they didn’t succumb to the pressure of the church as did
    President Obama. Both of those heads of State stood firm on their belief which
    was, the priest’s charge against Christ was bogus. In fact, the Scriptures
    testify Pilate said he knew the priests wanted Christ to be crucified because he
    saw they envied Him, Matthew 27:18. Why did they envy Him? What did He have
    that they wanted? In searching for those answers one must look at the times and
    observe what was taking place in and before the day Christ was handed over to
    stand trial. Throughout His ministry God revealed himself through His Son seen through
    various signs all of which are laid out in the four Gospels. One can easily see
    the disparity the priests must have felt watching God heal the sick, open the
    eyes of a blind man, restore another who was lame from birth, give life to
    another who was dead, etc. through His Son. Those divine healings along with
    the miracles performed by Christ would have most certainly had a huge impact on
    the priests because none of those divine healings and miracles occurred through
    the priests.

    We know from Scripture that the
    witness of God through His Son affected the numbers in the church for the
    Scriptures testify many began following Christ which would have most definitely
    had an impact not only on the churches finances, but also on the priests whose
    heart would have been pierced through witnessing the One they claimed they
    followed revealing himself through someone they despised. In addition to all
    that, they would have been struggling with the controversy that would have been
    present in that day through the people witnessing two theologies of God that
    contradicted one another. Certainly these Words spoken by God that were heard
    by many, ‘This is my Son, in Him I am well pleased’ would have angered the
    priests who showed themselves before the people as being God’s anointed. That
    anger is apparent in the Scripture that testifies the priests slapped Christ’s
    face and spit on Him after they had already handed Him over to be tried. How
    utterly disgusting is this! Is anyone troubled by it?         

    Moving along here, we know from Scriptures
    that both Pilate and Herod found no fault in Christ, and beckoned with the
    priests to let Him go. Seeing their plan to crucify Christ going south they
    stirred the people (obviously speaking of those who hadn’t been touched by God
    through His Son) to support them in their quest to have Christ crucified.
    Seeing their cunningness and that their plan was working, Pilate made another
    attempt to release Christ. He offered up a prisoner to be crucified in lieu of
    Christ. We know of coarse that attempt was unsuccessful, and when Pilate saw
    there was no way to satisfy the blood thirsty priests, and the mob that
    supported them, he made one final announcement being, that he and Herod didn’t
    agree with Christ being crucified, and then he washed his hands in water,
    handed Christ over to the priests and told them he would have no part in crucifying
    a man he found to be just. Satisfied that they had gotten their way, the
    priests didn’t care, which was seen in their response to Pilate when they said,
    His blood will be on our hands. Do you see any fear of God here? No, just
    arrogance without any concern for the bondage and judgement they brought upon
    themselves and God’s sheep who they were to love and lift up unto God through
    being ministers of God’s truths through which God’s Sheep receives God’s deliverance from the bondage and sin pissing out
    of the hearts of those whose primary concern was for the kings gold. Pretty
    darn sick, don’t you think!    

    As for the mob who cried out for
    Christ to be crucified after given the choice between Christ and a murderer
    named Barabbas, they got what they asked for; a murderer was set free in God’s
    House. After killing nearly all God’s prophets, the priests went on to kill God’s
    Son, and all but one of Christ’s disciples including Paul the apostle.
    Throughout their entire calling to this day they have killed God’s Spirit with
    their blasphemous theologies of God’s Word. Nothing has changed; Christ is
    still being crucified today. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for standing idly
    by while this atrocity is taking place right under our nose. It’s not like we
    can’t see it, the church through its lascivious behaviour has taught us they
    are not in their right standing with God. What more do you need people!          

    It’s also quite clear that we are
    not one nation under God; we are one nation under blasphemous church rule, and the
    spirit leading the church is not God. Wake up here people! Stop this nonsense!
    As for the leaders of the state who are struggling to keep their ship afloat,
    don’t bother, it has already sunk! The cow can’t produce what’s needed here.
    Moses saw that in the wilderness of sin when he destroyed the molten calf; the
    image of what he saw in the hearts of the people. Seeing the people’s desire
    for a god they could see with the naked eye the priests made gods of themselves
    for the people, and deceived the people using Abraham’s tithe, to satisfy their
    desire for the gold upon the altar, making the altar a crap table, not a place
    of sacrifice where one sacrifices their sins unto God to receive from God His
    deliverance from sin that bears a testimony of His Son. That testimony through which
    one receives the wealth God commanded the priests to seek after never made it
    to the altar because the priests were more interested in the gold upon the
    altar. Read the Scriptures people! Stop listening to the church! Let no man
    deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a
    falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Who
    opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
    worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself
    that he is God. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall
    consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
    his coming, 2 Thessalonians.

    Indeed a separation from church is
    required here, and all heads of state need to recognize this, and seek God’s
    counsel for a way out of this unimaginable mess the obnoxious bastards sitting
    in God’s seat has brought upon us. When that falling away comes the noose the
    church has around the necks of heads of state will fall off and both the heads
    of state and God’s people will be free to hear God and understand that He is a
    Spirit not seen through the naked eye, but through His Deliverance that bears
    the Testimony of His Son that He called the priests to be ministers thereof. In
    that day, when the latter rain falls, and people are lifted up from earth
    through God’s Deliverance, they will be with Christ, and then will He bring a
    quick end to this utter nonsense taking place inside the houses bearing His
    Father’s Holy name, and the priests will surely remember how caviller their
    forefathers were when they said these words, let His blood be upon our hands. Watch
    people! This day is not far off; you’ll be here to see it.

    The scientific community studies
    with great intensity the universe beyond ours, curious I’m sure about what
    keeps all the planets, suns, moons and even the galaxies in place, rotating
    around one another with great precision, but do not seem to explore the power
    and intelligence which keeps everything working like a fine tuned clock. Even
    to the depths of the galaxies way beyond our capability to see. Nothing down
    here simply floats around without some kind of power behind it.

    God is that power in the never
    ending universe. The native people call Him ‘Creator’, for surely that is what
    He does and is doing. The power of the word of His mouth moves everything, even
    His Spirit which moves animals and birds to migrate. They know His voice. There
    are those on earth who hear and know His voice, unfortunately most that do,
    call the Spirit they hear evil. I couldn’t tell you how many times God has
    shown me something, and confirmed it through asking me to attend church  where I heard the pastor of that church say
    the devil had spoken unto him the very thing God had shown me. God does speak
    to many men of the cloth but they call His Spirit evil because the truth of the
    words of His mouth contradicts their theologies of His Word. What a sad, sad
    situation. I pray for judgement all the time because in that day God’s sheep will
    be free to worship God, and receive His Son who is our Deliverance.     

    When God led me to write this four
    part series, the Last Supper, Christ’s Trial, Crucifixion and Resurrection, I
    didn’t know that the last two letters would be written by the finger of God.
    The ‘Last Supper’ has already been posted on http://www.theresurrection.ca which is
    the website God commanded me to build. This one will be posted there as well.
    The third letter ‘Christ’s Crucifixion’ will be visible when the churches rise
    up to defend themselves against the truth of the letter. In that face to face
    meeting with God the entire world will see the crucifixion of God’s Spirit witnessed
    by the patriarchs, God’s prophets, Christ, His disciples and Paul in the day
    the Scriptures were written. Seek God in that shameful hour and He will lead
    you into the understanding of the Resurrection of His Son, where He will
    deliver you from the bondage caused by erroneous religious theology. As for the
    free will offering God instructed me to place on the site, God has not yet
    brought me to full understanding of His purpose for that free will offering.
    Whether or not you make that offering is between you and God; the site and all
    on it is free, it does not require you to pay to read what God has instructed
    me to place on it. I have no interest in man’s wealth nor a desire to have
    wealth beyond that which is necessary for my basic needs which I have been able
    to manage through working with my hands. I’m going to eat regardless of your
    decision; my table is full, in truth I have great difficulty in being able to
    eat the feast God has prepared and placed before me. There are many empty
    chairs around God’s table, come, join me in eating the Lord’s Supper, the meal
    of divine revelations in Christ Jesus the Son of the Living God, Amen.

    From Ariel, http://www.theresurrection.ca, info@theresurrection.ca

    Thank you for your interest in
    Ariel’s website. Indeed change is needed. The complexity and magnitude of this
    issue is so great it is a challenge for the mind to wrap around it. In order to
    present this in the shortest, clearest manner, time to do so has delayed this
    response.

    To be short and to the point, a six
    thousand year history of God trying to birth His Spirit to reveal Himself to
    man, and make man’s life better has been thwarted right from the get go, by man
    not understanding what God had set in his heart, and in the course of edifying
    himself, he contaminated the truth of what God was saying.

    We are basically dealing with three
    religious groups which came forth out of the loins of Abraham; the Hebrews
    through Isaac, the Ishmaelites through Ishmael, and then the Christians who
    followed Christ, the Son of God. All had their priests, as well as those who
    ministered prior to Abraham. The problem is all the priests ministered God’s
    Word with their interpretation of what they thought God was saying until His
    Spirit was grieved to the point where His Spirit was no longer with them. They
    literally killed His Spirit through their interpretations of His Word which
    does not reveal what God’s Spirit is saying in His Word.

    God constantly sent prophets unto
    the priests and people to show them their error, but by now hearing the truth
    was not wanted and the messengers were usually killed to keep them silent.
    Unfortunately that has gone on for six thousand years and is very prevalent in
    our society today. This is what needs to change, but it will not be without
    bloodshed because there will be objection by those in high places, not only in
    religious organizations, but in the political arena, and the merchants who make
    much money from marketing spin-offs at Christmas, Easter and Hanukah to mention
    a few.

    When God sent Moses from Mount
    Sinai with the Ten Commandments, he gave them unto the Children of Israel, and
    the Levities whose portion in the land was God, were to uphold those Commandments
    which keep the way of truth, that reveals the House of God the patriarchs entered,
    which is the House God revealed unto Moses on top of Mount Sinai. Instead of
    shouldering those Commandments to keep their walk with God Holy, they performed
    the deeds of God’s law handed down unto them through Moses, without making the
    sacrifice in their heart unto God of the sins He revealed through His laws. That
    grave error prevented them from entering into God’s House, and the result of
    that error lifted up the sins the Children of Israel committed against God
    prior to God delivering them out of the land of Egypt.    

    This sin is woven into our
    Constitution today, and needs to be removed because God’s Commandments were not
    intended to be used to pass judgement upon people, they are the flaming sword
    God put at the door of His House so thieves, adulteresses, whoremongers, liars,
    and murders could not break into His House and steal His riches stored in His
    House for those who desire truth and righteousness, and who have a love for
    God, His Son, His House which is His Kingdom, His people, and country.  God’s laws are extremely broad, in them He
    set in place civil laws which are not upheld because the priests chose the path
    of unrighteousness, and today it would be a cumbersome task to uphold those
    civil laws because of the deep root of sin which is in the world through that
    which is in man’s heart.  

    Don’t you think it is time to bring
    this to an end, and let God do the leading of the governments and the people
    instead of a corrupt priesthood? Today you don’t need an example of that
    corruption. It is quite tangible, and what grieves me deeply is that none of it
    was necessary. God’s intent was to deliver man out of the bondage caused by the
    error in their lack of understanding in His Word which He had set in their
    heart; the sins responsible for that error manifested itself through religious
    theologies taught by those who were called to sacrifice those sins unto God; greed,
    pride, unbelief, control, deception, indecision and jealousy.

    Instead of making the sacrifice God
    required them to make, they built elaborate houses on nearly every
    street corner, and filled those houses with images of their interpretation of
    God’s Word, and in those houses they taught God’s people God’s laws through performing
    rituals out of God’s Word. In addition to this great sin, they have built unto
    themselves schools bearing their names where they teach God’s people to commit
    the same sins they themselves commit against God. On top of all this, they buy
    property in their names and become landlords; they purchase aircrafts and
    Mercedes, they build themselves elaborate houses, etc. They are truly
    shameless, and for some reason they have it in their heads that God wants them
    to have all this earthly luxury. God’s true servants didn’t seek after these
    things; they sought the King of kings and His wealth, which speaks of the
    knowledge they received from God by way of His Son though God’s Spirit. Their
    labour laid the foundation of God’s House, and the image in the knowledge they
    received from God, is God, and His people don’t know Him because the church
    worships images that are not God.        

    God’s Word is like a glimmer of
    light that shines in darkness and we seek for it in times of great sorrow, with
    the hope that God will lift us out of our state of affliction. The Levities
    were called to keep this light burning; they should never have allowed the oil
    they received to keep the lamps burning to become a ritual. If they had accepted
    God’s anointing received from Moses, which speaks of the knowledge revealing
    God’s Word which God brought forth through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God’s
    people wouldn’t be walking in darkness today. Their rejection of God’s anointing,
    being their birthright, reveals the Scripture wherein God said, Jacob I loved,
    Esau I hated.

     

    Freedom
    of Religion

    Where and why did this begin and
    what’s its inherent danger?

    The French and the English were two
    of the first nationalities, other than the Native Americans, to settle in North
    America. It became a refuge for those seeking sanctuary from the tyranny of
    church zealots imposing their perception of Christianity on people. This is
    clearly seen in the Spanish Inquisition where people fled to England, and then the
    battle in England as to who would reign supreme, the church or the King of
    England. Our forefathers loosely wove into the Constitution and Charter of
    Rights, the freedom of religion. At that time freedom had a solitary intent to
    worship Christ without pressure from church or state.

    Thank you for your interest in
    Ariel’s website. Indeed change is needed. The complexity and magnitude of this
    issue is so great it is a challenge for the mind to wrap around it. In order to
    present this in the shortest, clearest manner, time to do so has delayed this
    response.

    To be short and to the point, a six
    thousand year history of God trying to birth His Spirit to reveal Himself to
    man, and make man’s life better has been thwarted right from the get go, by man
    not understanding what God had set in his heart, and in the course of edifying
    himself, he contaminated the truth of what God was saying.
