Our response to
Edgar J.
Steele's "Conspiracy Pen
Pal" Blog's misuse and
maligning of the term "American Christian fundamentalists"
Some months ago we
sent a letter to Mr. Edgar Steel at his Web Blog,
Conspiracy Pen Pal,
regarding his
misuse and maligning of the term "American Christian fundamentalists."
Below is the copy of that letter which illustrates that, while many
non-Christian people do and will see the emergence of the first beast of
Revelation chapter thirteen, only the true Biblical Christian can really
ever understand the issue in all it's complexities. But Mr. Steel does
put out an informative
newsletter (which
we recommend to the sober-minded) that the discerning Christian can glean
important information from. Just balance what he says, knowing that he
is not writing as a Christian, but as a secular expositor.
Letter
content from WBSG E-mail sent to Mr. Edgar Steel:
Hello, you said in your latest mailing:
"...That is why American Christian fundamentalists have become so cozy with
Israel, which predictably is the star of Biblical/Talmudic events and
prophecy."
"...That is why American jews, historically the most left-wing element of
society, have recast themselves as Neoconservatives and seized control of the
Republican party."
What is ironic, about you, is that you can clearly see the plans and schemes
of the chameleon Jews but you cannot see that you are being used as a "useful
idiot" to destroy the one formidable enemy of the NWO and the one natural
enemy and thorn in the side of the coming antichrist - that being the
"American Christian fundamentalists" who, by useful idiots, have the
Christian Patriots and Militias movements been lumped in with for slated
destruction.
Martial law and troops on the streets will never be safe as long as there are
armed Bible believing Christians; and as well, antichrist cannot win the
adoration of the world while there are left alive "Christian fundamentalists"
who will not worship other gods. Both groups shall be killed in the first
portion of the Tribulation, except for those divinely protected by God for His
purposes. (Yep, you got it, no Rapture!)
And what is the definition of "Christian fundamentalist" any more? It is
becoming like the word "Jew" with so much multi-meaning. But if you call
Fallwell, Robertson, Graham, etc. "Christian fundamentalists" then you have
already missed the boat, for they are modern day Judas Iscariots who are
financed, enabled, distributed, produced, supported, and succored
by all-powerful and universal International Jewry and her useful idiot
'gentile' tentacles. And they shall receive the reward of one who betrays
Christ Jesus.
Steele, you see a lot of the picture, but you fall short on the spiritual.
I still enjoy reading your work, though; you hit the nail on the head most
times and are quite articulate and read.
God bless
the study of His Word, in Jesus Christ' name!

Question #2

Can we simply ask in Jesus' name
for forgiveness, and be saved?
A Reader asks:
Answer:
Hello, and you have some problem with that? Did you think that the Lord would not
hear?
Rom 10:1-21 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might
be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to
knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish
their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness
of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man
which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in
thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from
above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from
the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath
believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the
earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to
jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not;
I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a
disobedient and gainsaying people. (KJV)
Ps 116:12-13 12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. (KJV)
1 Cor 1:1-2 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and
Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in
Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the
name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: (KJV)
God bless
the study of His Word, in Jesus Christ' name!

Question #3

Does using NWO controlled companies, like AOL,
Microsoft, etc., make us part of the problem?
"My only "beef" so to speak is that your email address indicates you are an
AOL [America On Line] subscriber. After your references to the "eye" at Time Warner, I wondered
why you would use them as your service provider. Kind of hypocritical don't
you think? Warning us of their plan, then buying their services??"
Answer:
The tentacles of the power structure of the coming Luciferian world system go
much deeper than many can imagine. If I leave AOL, who do I go to, one of the
small service providers that are bought up daily and added to other controlled
media entities? Let's face it, the
Kenite owns all
media, the Internet being
their last conquest. It would be a little difficult operating a website and
changing addresses every three weeks. And sadly, because AOL is so powerful
we can be assured that they will be here long after others are 'unplugged.'
Perhaps you are looking at this in the wrong way. Where you see collaboration
on our part for sending the AOL Time Warner media behemoth $23.00 a month, I see my
being wiser that the serpent and using their own media to expose them.
And since you chose to call me a hypocrite for using AOL, take a look at the
back of a dollar bill, you will see the Luciferian all seeing eye of Horas.
A powerful occult symbol. You quit using your dollars, and I'll quit using
AOL.
And by the way, when you publish your book, have it printed, listed,
distributed and reviewed, who do you think that you will be using? (It doesn't
matter that you will self-publish, you will still need their network and
apparatus get it done.)
As far as being in the world, Jesus never intended that we not be in the
world, only that we be protected WHILE IN THE WORLD. Observe His prayer for
us to the Father:
John 17:5-26 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which
I had with thee before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out
of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they
have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of
thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have
received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have
believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for
them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,
and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou
hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that
thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they
might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are
not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray
not that thou shouldest take
them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them
into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified
through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word; [all
generations of Christians] 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou
hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one,
even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that
the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast
loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I
am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst
me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (KJV)
God bless

Question #4
| Back To Top |
Position; does WBSG have any connection to the Shepherds
Chapel?
"...Also, I'm curious as to your connection with The Shepherds Chapel
Ministry."
Answer:
We have no legal connection with the The Shepherds Chapel and are always careful
to point out that we do not represent the Chapel in any way, nor can/do we speak for them. The
Chapel has had problems in the past with people saying that they are "Shepherds
Chapel sites." We are not part of that problem.
In fact, three years ago we were
contacted by the Chapel in regards to a complaint that they received from "a
viewer" who objected to the fact that we had, on several places, recommended
the Shepherd's Chapel to students who enjoyed a verse by verse
teaching format. This viewer (really an operative) was "concerned "
because we at Watchmen Bible Study Group dared to mention the
International Jewish Conspiracy.
The conversation with the Chapel
was polite and friendly, the result of which we removed many mentions of the
Shepherd's Chapel from our site. That is why in some places you see
the terms "a
fine Christian Pastor" or "a ministry in Arkansas."
Now for the irony: The reason
given by the Chapel for requesting us to remove certain links to the
Shepherds Chapel from our Website was because that we speak of the
International Jewish
Conspiracy.
The Chapel is reliant upon the
powerful Jewish controlled media
apparatus (TV, Cable, Satellite, FCC, International agreements, etc.) to air
their program. That is why Pastor Murray will not mention the Jewish
element of the conspiracy of antichrist. The irony being, that so
powerful is this cadre of remarkable International 'Jewish' personalities,
they can even control content and thought of those who warn against them;
and have the ability, through fear, to censor even the Shepherds Chapel
Christian Bible study program.
Now you know "the rest of the
story." And yes, Virginia, there is a conspiracy. Is not this
very issue proof enough for anyone? I hasten to add that in defense of
the Chapel for their decisions, that we are in agreement that they are more
valuable reaching the masses on the air than they could be if they were
completely shut off from the airways by the Jewish bogey
"antiSemitism." Such is the times. So now, we only mention the
Shepherds Chapel in a fair-use context, giving out their public Internet
address, which is readily available to all through internet search engines. We
have that right, legally; and shall continue to exercise it.
We have never, nor will ever, claim to speak for Pastor Murray, nor for the
Shepherds Chapel. We at Watchmen Bible study Group are a group of like-minded Bible
students who share our Bible study on this Internet venue. We think that many
can be reached and served on the Internet who don't otherwise study Bible or
end-time events in a Biblical context. And we know that many many people like to read their studies in print
because they can follow at their own pace and print the
articles for reference and copy & paste them into their own notes and studies.
The Internet is the perfect media for presenting Bible studies, it has all
the advantages of printed media, but also includes the capability of copy &
pasting and saving articles to read off-line (consult your particular
Internet Browser's help index to learn how to download studies for off-line
reading.
We also, when finances permit, plan
to purchase the software that will convert the entire 320 page Website into
PRINTER FRIENDLY versions, as many have asked for this. Our current
heavy usage of tables & text boxes, and bold & colored typeset is a killer
on one's home computer printer. We know this, but cannot resolve the
matter at this time. Sorry.
Many here at Watchmen Bible Study Group are or were once Shepherds Chapel students
who have been blessed by Pastor Murray's teaching. These teachings we
have taken further in some instances. And
following the Pastor's advise that we 'check everything out' in the Word, some
things we disagree with the Pastor on (end-time prophecy mostly), but nothing regarding the Salvation
message. Like E. W. Bullinger (my personal all-time favorite), Pastor Murray broke down walls and
revolutionized Bible study, taking it into greater depths; we are forever
indebted to what the Lord has used Pastor Murray to bring to light. Is
any Bible teacher or any man perfect? Only Christ Jesus was a perfect
Man/Teacher.
Seeing that I brought Dr. Bullinger (pictured at right) into this, allow me
to let him speak on the matter, posthumously, by quotation. In The
Apocalypse, he wrote with humility and vision of those who would come
after him:
None are more
cognisant of imperfection and failure than ourselves; and, after all we
have done, there is still much left for others to do.
We do not exhaust the book; and may, after all, have only laid out a
road on which others may follow with far greater success. We claim
only one thing—an earnest desire to believe God; and to receive what He
has said, regardless alike of the praise of man or the fear of man; and
quite apart from all traditional beliefs or interpretations.
May the Lord own and use and bless our efforts for His own Glory and the
good of His people.
― Rev. Dr. Ethelbert William Bullinger,
1902; in The Apocalypse, pg. xii.

How can we be sure that the gods of other religions
are not equal to the God of the Bible?
A Reader asks:
"How can you seem so sure that the other religion's
Gods are not equal to the God of the bible?"
Answer:
Hi, the Scriptures state that there is no God BESIDE (other than) the Lord
God; i.e., there is only one God and all others are vain empty idols
and false gods are not the true God:
Deut 32:39 39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god
with me:
I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can
deliver out of my hand. (KJV)
Isa 45:14 14 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and
merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over
unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they
shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make
supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is
none else, there is no God. (KJV)
[i.e - there is no OTHER God]
Isa 45:21 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath
declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I
the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just
God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. (KJV)
Isa 44:6-8 6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts;
I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me,
since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and
shall come, let them shew unto them. 8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and
have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside
me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. [i.e
- there is no OTHER God] (KJV)
By the way, these Scriptures are
point-blank evidence that Jesus Christ was God, for if Jesus wasn't God in
the flesh, then He would have been at odds with Scripture. Which of
course is impossible. For the Divinity of Jesus Christ, see our
The Holy Spirit & The
Holy Trinity

Does God blind the 'Jews'
about Jesus Christ today?
"...I am going to
have a private meeting with my Pastor...regarding the Jews and his claim
that they are God's chosen people and that we shouldn't be down on them
... I am writing to ask a question about a particular teaching used in the
bible. The teaching I am referring to is the blind put on the 'Jews'."
Answer:
Hello. You may need more than
one meeting with your new breed Pastor to show him the truth. I
suspect that he will throw you out.
But anyway, it is written that
Israel was blinded, in part. But those who call themselves
Jews today are not, nor ever were of true Israel (see our
The re-formation of
Israel in the West. Israel's migrations to "the appointed place" ).
And this blinding of Israel was only for a specific time, it had an end
built into it:
Rom 11:25-27
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel, until
the fulness of the Gentiles [non-Israelites]
be come in. [Paul's mission was to the Gentile races, he
was the "Apostle to the gentiles."]
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come
out of Sion [Zion] the Deliverer
[Jesus Christ] , and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob [true Israel-12 tribes]
:
27 For this is my covenant [First Advent/New Testament]
unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
KJV
But the "Jews" of the time of Christ who lied to have Jesus Christ killed, were not blinded; they were rejecters of Messiah. They had the
Old Testament Scriptures, they refused Christ Jesus because he was not their
Messiah. To the modern day Jew, the Jewish people collectively are the "savior."
Do not confuse "Israel" and "Hebrews" with today's mixed people, the
so-called Jews―they have no blood rights, they actually have little or no
blood of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob coursing through their veins. They
are a lie.
As you may know, Jews are not the Israel of the Bible. Pharisees were Jews,
and Pharisaism became modern day Judaism.
Jesus was quite clear we He spoke to the so-called Jews, He told them that
they weren't blinded but that they were guilty all on their own.
John 9:39-41 39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see
not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said
unto him, Are we blind also? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye
say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (KJV)
Actually, ironically, so-called modern day 'Jews' are gentiles, or better
stated strangers.
Most real Israel people are blinded in quite another way, they don't know who they are; they have
been deceived by the Jews into thinking that they (Israel - the Anglo-Saxon
and Germanic and kindred peoples) are really the Gentiles, and that the
Ashkenazi Jews (the Chazar Turko-Mongoloid/Edomite peoples, called Jews
today), are really true Israel. The upper-echelon leadership of World
Jewry are pure Kenites (offspring of Cain from an adulterous liaison between
Eve and the serpent satan). To draw a distinction between Jews and
Kenites, see our
WBSG's position on
AntiSemitism, so-called.
You will have no success with your Pastor, probably; for most (almost all) of
the Christian Clergy has been compromised by satan, and beguiled by his
people, the International Jews.
Why does that sound so-called anti-Semitic? Because that was part of the plan
all along―to silence any voice that exposes them by defamation of character
and false-accusing. Just like the Jews (the bad ones―the Kenites) did to Jesus―they falsely accused
Him and had Him murdered at the hands of the heathen (the Gentiles).
Sad, but true. Not politically correct (a Jewish tactic) I know, but true. The
so-called Jewish people are not the race Israel. Not at all.
And by the way, ask your Pastor how he reconciles the below verse in light of
the fact that the so-called Jews have been at the forefront of every denial of
Jesus Christ. Ask him if he felt that John was in error, or even if he feels
that John was a so-called anti-Semite.
I Jn 2:18-19 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is
the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us,
they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might
be made manifest that they were not all of us. (KJV)
I Jn 2:22-23 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (KJV)
I Jn 4:3-4 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard
that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is
he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (KJV)
This last Scripture below is for all the play-Christian false preachers who
say that Jews are the chosen people of God (when in reality they were His
false accusers and murders). Tell your Pastor to consider this when he
preaches his next sermon about the so-called Jews:
II Jn 1:7-11 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but
that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not
God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and
the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not
into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (KJV)
The bottom
line is that satan has perpetrated the greatest hoax against Christianity the
world has ever seen―that being
that the so-called modern day Jew and their
claims to being the Israel people of the Bible.
It must be said that any
human being can accept Christ and become a child of God by adoption―even a
Kenite. That is why I prefer to tell the Jew the truth, suffering
persecution and accusations of "antiSemitism," that perchance it might help
them to come to Christ Jesus and be saved. This is the very last thing
that satan and his powerful progeny, the Kenites, want to happen―hence the
intrigue. So who really is a better friend to the Jew; myself, or the
compromised watered-down lukewarm Christian Clergy who help them to continue
in their delusions? Let God judge. My conscience is clear in the
matter.
All mankind must accept Jesus Christ as Messiah to be saved―period!
There is no other path to salvation―none! And allowing, by silence, or
misplaced "respect," non-Christians to believe that they are on their own
path to eternal life is dangerous, irresponsible, and a flat out lie!
They need to here this, not sweet words to take to "hell" with them.
Now you know why I am so hard on the modern-day Christian Clergy―they left
their first love (Christ) a very long time ago. But they too can
repent―which is why I address them sternly and Scripturally. I don't
hate the Jew nor the wayward Clergy, I love them enough to tell them the
hard truths, whatever becomes of my reputation for doing so. That is
true Christian love.
And most sadly of all, is that the modern day beguiled Christian Clergy is fast
becoming the greatest enemy of Biblical Christianity that the pits of hell
could ever unleash. They had better get-it-together, we are in the
evening of the last time.
God bless
the study of His Word, in Jesus Christ' name!

The King James Bible version is the true word of God in the
English
A letter from a Reader (with our answers
inserted):
(The Reader's words in GREEN BOLD TEXT,
ours in normal font)
Hello, you said:
"I BELIEVE THAT THE TRUE WORD OF GOD
IS THE KJV" [King James Bible version]
Amen, so do I!
"IS IT TRUE THAT THE MORE TRANSLATION
WE READ THE BETTER WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD, THIS ACCORDING TO THE WORD
OF KNOWN AUTHOR OF THE BOOK I AM READING AT PRESENT "IT IS ALWAYS HELPFUL TO
COMPARE TRANSLATION"?”
No, not at all. If you believe that the
King James Bible is the correct one (and it is), and you also know that other
versions disagree with the King James Version is thousands of places, why on
earth would you compare and/or dilute the King James Bible with a lie?
And regarding the sentence that you wrote
above “THE MORE TRANSLATION WE READ...” remember:
Gal 5:9
9 A little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump. (KJV)
"DOES THAT PUT GOD IN QUESTION THAT HE
COULD NOT EVEN EXPRESS HIMSELF OR THE MESSAGE THAT HE'S TRYING TO CONVEY OR
SEND? ... WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN OUR PASTOR IS
TRYING TO IGNORE THAT
THE KJV IS THE REAL WORD OF GOD ALMIGHTY?"
Have you seen our study on the
Bible versions? Perhaps you could share it with
your Pastor in private. Don’t embarrass him publicly, because maybe he just hasn’t had
the opportunity to see the various Bibles compared, and was never told that evil
men crept in unawares and corrupted the newer Bible versions.
"GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR STAFF!!!!"
Thank you, He does; same to you.
God bless
the study of His Word, in Jesus Christ' name!

What did Jesus mean when He
said: "wisdom is
justified of all her children"?
A Reader asks:
"In the Bible, what
does "wisdom is justified of her children"
mean?"
Answer:
Hi, it means that it (wisdom) is self evident. It proves ITSELF
by the use of IT. It is shown by it's product; i.e., a
wise man will be known for the wisdom that he uses; and conversely, a fool
will be shown by his own foolishness.
Luke 7:35 35 But wisdom is
justified of all her
children.
If you had a Strong's Concordance you could have looked up "justified" and
"children" and discovered the answer.
justified: Greek word #1344
dikaioo (dik-ah-yo'-o);from
1342; to render (i.e. show or regard as) just or innocent: KJV-- free,
justify (-ier), be righteous.
children: Greek word #5043
teknon (tek'-non);
from the base of 5098; a child (as produced): KJV-- child, daughter, son.
Take those definitions and place them in the context of the Scripture:
Luke 7:33-39 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine;
and ye say, He hath a devil. 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking;
and ye say,
Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners! 35 But wisdom is justified of all her children. 36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he
went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew
that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box
of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet
with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his
feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw
it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of
woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. (KJV)
[etc.]
Jesus was actually 'mocking' them ("chastening" is perhaps a better
word). For they were the Pharisees who were oh-so self-righteous. But
they just didn't get 'it.' They were shallow, and though they knew the law
and had all kinds of ordinances and oral traditions, they could not see
the clear simple truth.
And where the Pharisee said
about Jesus, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of
woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner", the
Pharisee showed his own foolishness; for who but a sinner needs
salvation most? Who but the ignorant needs a teacher most?
Who but the lost need to be found the most? Jesus said of Himself:
"I came not to call the righteous , but sinners to repentance." (Mark
2:17).
Mark 2:16-17
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and
sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and
drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have
no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call
the righteous , but sinners to repentance. KJV
Professing themselves wise, they became fools. They did not honor Christ,
for they called Him a drunkard, and they didn't honor John, for they
called him as one having a devil. In other words, they got down on John
though he didn't drink, and they got down on Jesus because He did drink.
There was no wisdom in their judgments and discernment's. There was rhyme
nor reason to the way they looked at things.
And even more, they could not discern about John the Baptist that "there
is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist" (Luke
7:28), and that Jesus was "the way, the
truth, and the life" (John 14:6), yet
they were the religious leaders of the time. They
would go on to kill the Savior by bearing false witness against Him before
the heathen courts.
Luke 7:28 28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a
greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom
of God is greater than he. (KJV)
John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
What Jesus was alluding to when He said "wisdom is
justified of all her children" is that with the Pharisees,
their foolishness is apparent by the lack wisdom exhibited by them.
May I help you here? I highly recommend a Strong's Concordance for your
further studies. You will be blessed with much clarity. (The free on-line
Strong's are for the most part corrupt, get a copyrighted genuine
Strong's).
Below is a correct printed edition:
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance:
If you could only have two books, this

Christian Professor of Exegetical Theology at Drew Theological Seminary
for many years. He lived between 1822 - 1894 and devoted twenty-seven
years to the preparation of his Concordance. He was the first to make a

Question #9
| Back To Top |
Why do so many of God's people allow evil people to control and
rule over them when scripture teaches a way to identify the evil people of
Satan?
A Reader asks:
"Why do so many of God's people allow evil people to control and
rule over
them when scripture teaches a very simple, provable TRUTH way to identify
the evil people of Satan? The evil people are all around us, in positions
of great power, wealth, and they are accepted as leaders by too many of
God's people. Could that be a sign that an end-time strong delusion now
controls most of God's people and their religions?"
Answer:
"Why do so many of God's people allow evil people to control and rule
over them when scripture teaches a very simple, provable TRUTH way to
identify the evil people of Satan? The evil people are all around us,
in positions of great power, wealth, and they are accepted as leaders by
too many of God's people[?]"
You ask why the world is following them? Because the evil of this world
is based in spiritual power, and it is powerful, evil powerful. Satan is in
control of this world, but God is ultimately in control of satan. Satan
does not triumph, he is allowed; and when he sits as God in the throne of
God (2 Thess 2:4) for a moment at the end, it is not because he triumphed
over God, but that he is allowed to play a role, once, in the end of the
world, before God seals up the books.
2 Thess 2:3-4
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day [the Second Advent] shall not
come, except [until after] there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin
[satan as the antichrist] be revealed,
the son of perdition;
4 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, shewing himself that he is
God. KJV
We? We are here to make choices, choose sides, work for
One or be enslaved to the other. It cannot be
stopped, satan's human government (the NWO) shall overtake the world―that much
is written. And it is then, for a short time, at the end of the world, that
satan shall rule as God. Then God comes and destroys everything and
everyone, save for a remnant who remained faithful during the tribulations
"which shall come upon all the world, to try them that
dwell upon the earth." (Rev 3:10)
(The 1st beast of Revelation 13):
Rev 13:2-4
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the
mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after
the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto
the beast? who is able to make war with him?
KJV
So powerful is the global beast system, that all will wonder who is able
even "to make war with him".
(Note: From the Greek of the New Testament
Manuscripts, the English words translated "it, he, she" are all
from the one same Greek word autos; so don't let the "him" in
verse four above make you think that it is a person. The first beast of
Revelation chapter thirteen is a global one-world system set up,
administrated and ruled by evil men working under satanic influence and
power. The second beast of Revelation chapter thirteen is satan
himself, as the entity known to Christians as the antichrist.
Greek word #846:
autos (ow-tos'); from the particle au [perhaps
akin to the base of NT:109 through the idea of a baffling wind]
(backward); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the
comparative NT:1438) of the third person and (with the proper
personal pronoun) of the other persons: KJV - her,
it (-self), one, the other, (mine) own,
said, ([self-], the) same, ([him-, my-,
thyself, [your-] selves, she, that,
their (-s), them ([-selves]), there [-at, -by, -in, -into, -of, -on,
-with], they, (these) things, this (man), those,
together, very, which. Compare NT:848. (Biblesoft's

"Could that be a sign that an end-time strong delusion now controls most
of God's people and their religions?"
My first impulse is to answer you yes, but I see something in your
wording. I do not know if you meant to allude to this, or not, but there
are many people who feel that any unbeliever is an unbeliever simply
because God blinded them. Ergo, it is God's fault, and they shant
be judged. Therefore, they are not responsible for denying Christ and will
not bring to themselves swift destruction. Those who believe this way, not
only contradict every salvation Scripture in the Bible, they also imagine
that the Millennium shall be one big second chance for everybody
who did not obey the Gospel the first time around.
Seems that their God is not a God of judgment, that He says one thing
but means quite another. Then these Christians (who, in effect, reject the
necessity of Christ Jesus for salvation) go on to lead many poor souls to
the edge of the abyss because they do not evangelize the heathen as Christ
instructed them to. After all, they will say, God will save them in the
Millennium. Sorry friend, God is not slack concerning His promises nor has
His arm waxed short in delivering judgments and recompenses:
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
KJV
But our new breed Christian will say of me that I do not
understand; that God will change the formula; that Jesus was for now, but
that later God will admit unbelievers into Heaven. To them, it
seems, Christ died in vain, that there was or will be another way. This
they say they find in the Scriptures. I ask them: Where in the Scriptures
do you find this? You do not find this in the Scriptures, you found it in
the traditions of man that seek to "improve" God and make Him "more fair."
These are foolish Christians trampling where they ought not. I know why
they do it, they do it to appease their friends in Jewish and Muslim and
other vain religions. It's all about ecumenism (fellowship with other
faiths), satan's grand plan to dilute Biblical Christianity.
Most ecumenical new breed Christians today do not spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to those of other, or of no faiths, hardly! They
rather close the book and hide it under a bed somewhere or under a bushel
basket, hoping that it's words do not shame them before their other-faith
friends. It were better for them that they simply said nothing, and walked
away in silence, rather than for them to call God's commands into question.
For those who like to question God, God has a question for them: "O man,
who art thou that repliest against God?"
Rom 9:16-23
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of
him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for
this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in
thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have
mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he
yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that
repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,
Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the
same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath,
and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels
of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches
of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto
glory, KJV
Jesus was God, or, God was Jesus; same thing. When Jesus spoke the
(earlier) above verse (John 14:6) He was speaking as God, for God, by God.
So whence comes this so-called second chance in the Millennium for those who
denied Jesus Christ while they were living on this Earth? By what authority
do the new breed Christians disannul and make void the entirety of
God's plan of salvation for mankind? So many times I hear them shrug their
shoulders saying, "they will just have to learn of Christ in the
Millennium." Sorry friend, there is no Millennium for those who deny Christ
Jesus. My-my, has Christ truly died in vain to the new breed Christians
today? What a sad epitaph on Christianity. They shall answer for this on
that Great and Terrible Day of Judgment.
The truth of the matter is that the great enemy of true Christians in
the Tribulation shall be the play-Christians (antichristians,
instead-of-Christians). Are they not even so today?
They are not real Christians, they are some hybrid, an oxymoron formed
by satan in the pits of this ecumenical world. First satan made all the
false religions, then he blends Christianity in with them, and out comes the
New Age religion of the book of Revelation. Complete with a new temple, a
new doctrine, and a new god--antichrist. How far away are really from
that? We are not far, in fact, we have turned the corner and are racing to
the finish line.
2 Thess 2:3-4
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for
that day [the Second Advent]
shall not come, except [until after]
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin
[satan as the antichrist] be
revealed, the son of perdition;
4 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, shewing himself that he is God. KJV
There is only one path to salvation; and Jews, Muslims, Buddhists,
Secular Humanists, Satanists, etc., are not on that path. Period! Quit
telling them that they are, lest by your errant assurances they seek not
Christ. Their 'blood' shall be on your head. What a sad day when A
Christian must speak this to other Christians!
John 14:1-9
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may
be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not
whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my
Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father,
and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time
with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then,
Shew us the Father? KJV
How many ecumenical (faith blending) "Christians" see God anymore? What
a dirty little secret it is that few who call themselves Christians today
really are Christian. If a tree calls itself a rock is it no longer a
tree? In other words, just because someone calls themselves Christian does
not make it so. Did not Paul warn of wolves (false Christians) in
sheep's
(Christians) clothing?
Try this: speak to three people that you know, who claim to be of a
Christian faith (Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, Pentecostal, Mormon, Jehovah
Witnesses, Protestant, Baptist, etc.) other than your own denomination; and
ask them to define who Jesus Christ is, what man must do to be saved, and
what happens to "good" people who live "good" lives but simply do not
believe in Jesus, and those like them who also do not believe in God?
Finally, for the icing on the cake, ask them if they believe in God or in a
God; in The Almighty, or in an Almighty; in The Creator, or in a
Creator. Does He have a name, an identity? The answers shall absolutely
shock you (unless you are one of them, in which case I shock you). True
spoke Jesus Christ of our days:
John 4:21-22
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what:
we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews
[Israelites] . KJV
Paul evangelized men of other faiths. If there was another way then why
didn't Paul just let them be "taken care of in the Millennium" ?
Acts 17:23
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions,
I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom
therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. KJV
Acts 17:29-31
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God,
we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or
stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at;
but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which
he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom
he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that
he hath raised him from the dead. KJV
God does not make people to not-believe, He allows them to not-believe:
Rom 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to
retain God in their knowledge, [so
then, because of this] God gave them over
[allowed them to go their way of their desires]
to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;
29 Being filled with [their way causing them to manifest within themselves]
all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing
the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them
that do them. KJV
There shall be no innocents in "hell." And at the end of the long day,
some shall perish and some shall live ever with our Lord. I hope to see you
all there with our Heavenly Father and Savior.
2 Thess 1:3-12
3 We are bound to thank God always for you,
brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly,
and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and
tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous
judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God,
for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when
the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that
know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his
power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his
saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our
God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good
pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be
glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and
the Lord Jesus Christ. KJV
