Prove All Things

1/01/15

                 To continue to believe and teach a lie when confronted with the truth is a sad thing but many people do this because they refuse to admit they are wrong.  To come out of a lie to the truth should be a joyful thing; a thing we should thank God for but as Jesus said, none are so blind as those who refuse to see. 

There is a belief called British Israelism that teaches the lost ten tribes of ancient Israel are now Britain and the U.S. along with other white English speaking people.   That knowing this information is the key to unlock biblical prophecy. I hope that those who believe these things read and carefully consider the following.

According to British Israel teaching the daughter of King Zedekiah came to Ireland and married a local king and produced the offspring that later became the kings of England as well as the people of England and the U.S.  If you examine the linage of Jesus in the gospels king Zedekiah is not mentioned but King Jehoakim or Coniah is mentioned who was the king preceeding Zedekiah. King David, who was a prophet, wrote about one of his descendents, the messiah, who would have the throne of Israel.  Psalm 89 speaks of God casting the carnal throne of Israel to the ground and profaning it and Israel would abide for many days without a king.  This would end the theory of the BI teachers that there has always been a king of Israel somewhere on Earth to fulfill Gods promise to David.  Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise. As far as there always being a man to sit on the throne of Israel; for over 100 years of the British monarchy there was only a Queen and no King; even today Elizabeth II reigns alone thus there has not been a man on the throne for over 60 years. When proving any doctrine all information must come from scripture and not from any outside source.  To use Irish legend to prove doctrine is an abomination.  BI combines scripture with Irish folklore to arrive at the ideas they teach and just as any false doctrine this combination can be a powerful delusion.  God cursed and divorced Israel for their constant disobedience, God said He would not be their God and they would not be His people, Hosea 1:9… This curse has never be lifted to this day as the Gentiles are grafted into the olive tree to replace the unbelieving Israelites.  

Herbert W. Armstrong, the false apostle and false prophet of the former Worldwide Church of God, in his book The U.S. and Britain in prophesy, committed plagiarism by copying the work of J.H. Allen titled Judah’s scepter and Joseph’s birthright. 

Allen’s ideas in his book place race ahead of grace, totally ignores Gods divorce of Israel and destruction of David’s Earthly throne in Psalm 89:38-44.  Modern DNA evidence shows no connection of White people being part of Jewish people.  

Jesus has the throne of David; Luke 1:32, Acts 2:30.  

British Israelism is fiction invented by J.H. Allen and later spread by Armstrong, two unconverted men devoid of the Holy Spirit.  

Brother Kel 2

 

           Response to Brother Kel on 1John 1:8

          Brother Kels recent video on 1John 1:8 was to me confusing. I listened carefully but Kel did a very poor job of explaining what he was trying to say. It seemed Kel had two different explanations for the meaning of this verse. Does Kel believe that once sins are forgiven you are without sin for the rest of your life and you will never sin again?  He seemed to imply this with his repeated “zero sin” comments. 1John 2:1-2 says that true Christians that sin can yet repent and be forgiven. Matthew 18:21-22 doesn’t put a limit on the number of times God will forgive our sins. All  true Christians are in a spiritual warfare within themselves in the process of overcoming sin. Having the gift of the Holy Spirit of the Father does not make us impeccable permanently as this would eliminate repentance. Only in the kingdom of God will the saints be impeccable but until that day we will need grace and forgiveness upon repentance. This is the gospel message that keeps the saints on the straight and narrow way that leads us into the kingdom and perfection.  The righteousness we have is not our own but a gift from the Father that keeps us as the righteousness of God until our change comes; when we enter the kingdom of God. The process of grace is as a continual washing away of sins until the Father changes our nature to be the same as His and His Sons. The saints are a shadow image of God while in the flesh and need changed to be the true image at the resurrection.  While in the flesh, no true Christian has ever attained to the equal of Christ and the Father. Paul in Philippians 3:12 admits that he has not fully obtained or been made perfect but that the end goal is perfection. The resurrection of the dead in Christ is a twofold thing: immortality and impeccability.  While still in the flesh we are not immortal or impeccable. Kel said that 1 John 1:8 is used by people to get away from overcoming their sins that they repeatedly do thus giving them a false sense of safety. True Christians can and do have repeated sins that they struggle with perhaps all their lives but as long as they do not give up but use the gospel message Gods forgiveness is always there, the grace in times of need. As the begger said, “God have mercy on me a sinner”.  The spirit of God in the saints  doesn’t make them spiritual giants, rather the opposite. It is sown in corruption, weakness and dishonor but resurrected from the dead in glory, honor, power and immortality. We are in a spiritual race and must run toward the finish line and no matter how many times we fall God helps us up and we keep running toward that high prize. 

I hope Brother Kel knows these things and deletes the video and remakes another with a clearer message.   

 

 COVID 19

Some say the bible has nothing to say about Covid 19.   Many preachers say you should obey the government and get the vaccine; they say it is love to others to prevent death by spreading Covid.   If you are like me you research things before giving your view on any subject; if not you operate on hearsay with no proof.   Preachers say that saving lives is more important than your freedom to chose to be vaccinated or not.

It is a fact that those who contract Covid may become very sick while some feel just fine.  It is a fact that very few people die from Covid; about 99% live while the 1% that die already had serious health issues before getting Covid.   By definition Covid is not a pandemic but a syndemic.   A pandemic kills all equally of all ages whereas a syndemic targets victims that already have serious health problems.   The government and the mainstream media have hyped Covid so much that some people believe getting it is a death sentence.    They have used Covid as an excuse top rob people of their freedoms.

Anyone who is willing to give up their freedoms for any reason may as well go to the grave yard and urinate on all the veterans graves who gave their lives for your freedom.     Freedom to chose for yourself what you accept or reject is the idea behind the Constitution of the United States.  There you find God given rights  like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.   Freedom of choice is a matter of conscience.  In your mind you decide after thinking things through if you want to do or not do something.  Once you have come to a conclusion then it is your freedom to act on it.  

The bible speaks of the conscience of people in the latter days, saying in 1 Timothy 4:2 "speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron".   This means that people lose the ability to reason and discern good from evil as is clearly evidenced by the acceptance of perversions like abortion and homosexuality.   The importance of a good conscience is paramount in decision making and all people should have their senses sharpened so as to determine good from evil.   To go against your own conscience makes you a hypocrite because you think one thing yet do another; you become an unstable person.    How many freedoms are you willing to give up because the government or a preacher tells you to?  Patrick Henry said, "give me liberty or give me death."   If you have no freedom to live your life then life is not worth living.   Liberty and freedom mean the same thing and are a part of your conscious thinking process.   

"The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul"   

John Calvin

"In matters of conscience the law of the majority has no place"  Gandhi

"There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."     Martin Luther King Jr

Once you make a decision about Covid no one has any right to judge you or accuse you or condemn you.  If you decide to get the vaccine OK, if you decide not to get the vaccine OK.    

President Biden has no constitutional authority to mandate the vaccine upon the public.  The vaccine has been proven to cause serious side effects and death.   People who are fully vaccinated  can still get covid and pass it to others and some few of them die.   Then what good is this vaccine?   The state demands you get the vaccine or you will lose your job;  all this over a virus that is not even near as deadly as the state claims.   If you have decided not to get the vaccine because you have in your mind, after careful thought, that it is not for you then that is your right, your freedom.   The state has no business in the practice of medicine or religion.   

"Never do anything against your conscience even if the state demands it."  Einstein

If you have faith you have a conscience and to go against your own conscience is not of faith and whatever is not of faith is sin.  Romans 14:23   

Almighty God gave you your body and only you have the say of what is put into it.
