General Discussion / PLEASE READ: About The Changes in America, and Your Grief

« on: January 09, 2021, 04:37:08 AM »

I just want to write a brief note to everyone in the church, and by that, I mean not just in our local church, but all of you who are born again in Christ. It is deep grief that I'm sure many of you are feeling, and I share that with you. We have seen many cowards and traitors in our nation's judicial, legislative, and executive branches; so much iniquity in the swamp, it is hard to even know where to start. In fact, I'm up at 4AM writing this because, for the past three days, I have been awake at all hours of the night with my thoughts racing, praying in grief and trying to sing hymns to myself to calm my heart so I can go to sleep. Sleep doesn't come, and when that happens, I just need to get up and get busy.

Please understand that Christians throughout the centuries have been living under oppressive governments led by corrupt men and women. This has always been the case, and just because God blessed America to have more liberty than other nations have had in the past 200 years, does not mean we are not due for our own tribulations, which we are guaranteed in Scripture, but I want to emphasize that we are also guaranteed that Christ has overcome the world:

tribulation (n): severe affliction; distresses of life; vexations

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
-Acts 14:22

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
-John 16:33

And yet, from leader to leader, and from century to century, our job does not change, and we went over these verses in my first-half weekly teachings just a few weeks ago:

Let love be without dissimulation [i.e. a false appearance]. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
-Rom 12:9-13

Please do not sit back and believe the Lord God did not answer your prayers, but rather, understand that your prayers are reserved unto the day of wrath that is coming. Your prayers may be answered in part now, but they will be answered in full when Jesus returns. One of the seals that will release terrible destruction onto this world are the prayers of the saints, and it is certain that they will not escape unless they come to godly sorrow of their sins and faith in Jesus Christ before the end.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
-Rev 8:1-5

The Lord God has allowed this to happen, or rather I should say, made this to happen indirectly, and put these wicked men and women into positions of power to bring the United States to its knees. Americans have been FAR too prideful. When suffering increases, mankind becomes more receptive to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that is why, now more than ever, it is imperative that we preach the truth. If you are not out there preaching the truth, then support those who are. (I'm not just talking about me; I'm talking about anyone who stands firm on the truth of the Word of God, whether it be in prison ministries, homeless ministries, teaching ministries, street preaching ministries, etc.) They need a lot of help, and I mean help in exhortation (i.e. lifting them up in encouragement), help in duties, and help financially, and that's where the church needs to pick ourselves up, come together in the unity of the Spirit, work hard and do our jobs as faithful servants of Jesus Christ in prayer, thanksgiving, and fellowship together, so we can be pleasing in His sight, and He will work in us to bear fruit in due time.

Our rejoicing in the Lord Jesus Christ even during times of great peril and grief is a testimony of our faith established in Him. If you are weak in that faith, then go to the Word of God.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
-Romans 10:17

I'll close this post with a few passages that you may want to read, and perhaps, keep close to your hearts:

PSALM 2
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

PSALM 64
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Wild Emails @ CLE / Pentecostal Believes She Is Saved, But Rejects Christ's Teachings

« on: January 04, 2021, 06:10:57 PM »

DENISE FROM PENNSYLVANIA:

CLE, I'm wondering what advice you would give me? I'm looking for direction.....God's will in my life. I would like to start a nonprofit in my area. I need a fiscal sponsor and was leaning on asking Joyce Meyers Ministeries. I'm also seeking more confirmation on the will of God for this ministry.
In what ways do you know that you are answering the call of God on your life that I might use as an example.
Thanks in advance

Jan 3, 2021, 11:39 AM

I would answer those inquiries by sending you three teachings:

Why Millions of Believers on Jesus Are Going to Hell

501c3: The Devil's Church

Wolves in Costume: Joyce Meyer

Let me know if that helps. Have a great day. 🕵

Jan 3, 12:25 PM

I did not read all the material you sent me as of yet.
My question has not been answered. How did you know that you were called to your ministry?
I read that you are very busy and don't expect an immediate reply.....but I do expect a prayerful reply. As You are taking on a leadership role in the Kingdom of God. To hurt the least of these brings curses so I do expect a loving reply.
I read the KJV and rarely another. Commentaries can be good. Do you have any teaching degrees or authority to teach?
My KJV Bible says if they aren't against us they are for us. Maybe I take that out of context? I do hope to learn something from our conversing. Thanks

Jan 3, 2021, 2:32 PM

This short book will explain how I know that I was called into ministry:
Why Millions of Believers on Jesus Are Going to Hell
The other two links I sent you will help explain the error of your understanding on a number of other matters you briefly mentioned in your email. Let me know if that helps. Have a great day. 🕵

Jan 3, 2021, 9:33 PM

I hear you loud and clear! I'm "penticostal ". Or rather was raised that way. I'm learning many new things as God prepares me for the specific revelations. They come through many teachers who I test by the spirit within. I work out my own salvation with fear and trembling. I'm so dirty and guilty myself but for the grace of God. I just can't agree upon judgment against The leaders I grew up with becausethat is God's job throughtheHoly Spirit. I fear God and tip toe lightly (and also ask God is this my heart of stone that dosen't want to hear something because I believe a soft heart is a daily choice to listen or not )(as I am also asking myself right now about this your belief ) when I somewhat or even totally disagree with a teaching by one of those leaders. We are all human and prone to make mistakes even in our teaching, whitenessing and also by example. When I read another person's view. I check it with my spirit and also against the Words of Christ. I've sat under the teaching of leaders you appear to be judging and have felt the Holy Spirit and heard God whispering to me.....felt conviction asked forgiveness. I believe when myspirit says.....wait a minute.....what was just said?.......not sure i agree with that. But that gives me no right (per the Bible) to judge another. Only Jesus/God has that authority so I leave that to Him.
That last statement (i.e. "that gives me no right (per the Bible) to judge another") is exactly why I sent you the book about why millions of believers in Jesus will end up in hell. Asking me questions concerning the Holy Spirit first requires that you have understanding from the Holy Spirit because those who have not come to humility of repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) of their sins before the Lord Jesus Christ CANNOT understand such spiritual things:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
-1Co 2:14
Discernment is the ability to judge between good versus evil, and right versus wrong, and those who do not have their understanding unlocked by the Holy Ghost will make statements such as, "I should not judge anyone," or "no one should judge me," which are both statements that contradict what Scripture teaches us, as Paul (in First Corinthians) goes on to say in the next verse:
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
-1Co 2:15
Righteous judgment is a part of the commandments Jesus Christ gave us:
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
-John 7:24
If you would like to learn more about Biblical judgment, and that refusing to judge righteous judgment is nonsensical and an offense against Christ's commandments, then I recommend the following teaching:
Unbiblical Cop-outs: Don't Judge Me!
I do not know enough about your beliefs yet to know whether or not you have been saved in Christ, or if you have just been deceived by false teachers. There are many false teachers in the Pentecostal cult, and I cover more on that in this teaching:
Charismatic Gibberish vs Speaking in Tongues
It is common for corrupt religious leaders to teach that no one should judge, and that is for the purpose of keeping churchgoers from judging those corrupt preachers, so they will not be discovered for the frauds they are. It is our job as Christians, as the children of light, to exercise discernment and judge righteous judgment to expose the unfruitful works of darkness, which not only does service unto God, but it also protects our neighbors from being deceived and snared.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
-Heb 5:14
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
-John 3:19-21
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
-Eph 5:8-13

My job is to pray for them.....they aren't perfect but when they are ready to (because I know the Holy Spirit will be gently dealing with them) they will see their mistakes and allow God to soften their heart and ask for forgiveness and change their ways. Again....I have seen this happen. Only God gets to judge the hearts of man. I always love a good discussion where I learn things. Please pray for our Christian leaders and the Holy Spirit will do His job.
If you are asking me to pray God speed for a greedy, corrupt preacher like Joyce Meyer, then you are wasting your time. I will not bid her God speed because I will not partake of her evil deeds, but if you do, then are just as guilty as she is:
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. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
-2Jo 1:9-11
I wish that Joyce Meyer would have her needs met and her family safe, but that woman is part of the ecumenical (i.e. one-world religious) movement, and she is as greedy as they come, so I will rebuke her as the Bible instructs us (as I mentioned earlier in this letter in Ephesians 5:11):
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
-Isa 56:11
Joyce cannot serve God and mammon (i.e. money) at the same time:
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
-Luke 16:13
Therefore, you need to choose a side because you cannot serve Christ and be lukewarm:
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
-Rev 3:15-16
Did you know that Jesus Christ said He came to bring division over peace?
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
-Luke 12:51
If you want to learn more about that, I would recommend the following teaching:
The Biblical Understanding of Sanctification

Just like he works gently with us and our mistakes. Although I do see greed and corruption in the church at times. I dont believe its our job to correct it
Your statement tells me:
A) You do not yet understand the doctrines Jesus taught us.
B) You reject the doctrines Jesus taught us.
C) Both. (which means "willful blindness")
I cannot tell which one it is yet. The teachings I provided in the links above will help you understand those things if you are looking to understand them. The following teaching may also help to some degree:
False Converts vs Eternal Security

( the person committing the sin needs to repent ( and we surly don't need to accept it). Just a thought.....what if they already saw the light and asked forgiveness and are trying to better themselves right this very moment? Let's pray for that right now in the mighty name of Jesus)
My Lord Jesus Christ taught me not to put my trust in men, but rather, to follow the evidence of spiritual matters by trusting in His Word. If you want to put your trust in men, you are welcome to do so, but a fair warning:
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
-Jer 17:5

They will answer to God not to us. God help us all. I sit here in tears knowing all the pain and grief people suffer and God does feel for us.
The more I read what you write, the more I am seeing worldly sorrow instead of godly sorrow.
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
-2Co 7:9-10

He says so in His word. He loves the murderer the lier the deliverer of false teaching whether on purpose or not.......He loves us all (the same) and is drawing us all to redemption. I believe you gave a good heart. God loves you! He wants what's best for you! God bless you and keep you! I really do want to hear your heart. Not the books (opinions) of others.
Ma'am, did you not realize that the book and articles I sent you were written by me? Did you not look at the name of the person you are speaking with right now and the author of those documents? I did not send you the opinions of others, and that statement only indicates that you did not bother to look at any of it. Furthermore, if you think that any man has a "good heart," then you do not understand the Scriptures because there is only one good, and that is God.
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
-Mark 10:17-18
Don't misunderstand, Jesus is good because He is God, but He was rebuking the rich ruler because the rich ruler did not believe in who Jesus is; He thought Jesus was just another man, and so Christ rebuked him for calling another man good, just as I would rebuke you for calling me good. If there is any good in me, it comes from Christ alone.

That being said, I would like to point out how much, in your own letters, you revealed your own heart, and it is not as good as you might want to believe. There is much worldly sorrow in your letters (i.e. not godly sorrow), and no Scripture at all. You speak from your own opinions rather than from the Word of God, and unless you show me otherwise, so far, I see a woman who cares more about the feelings of her heart, falsely believing that her personal feelings are the equivalent of the Holy Ghost (which is much of the reason for your confusion about knowing what your "calling" is), and therefore, you follow your own heart rather than the Word of God.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
-Jeremiah 17:9
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Proverbs 28:26

By the way you wrote your letters, I suspected you would not look over the materials I sent you, but it is not my job to study for you; it is only my job to give you access to the information you need, whether you understand that you need it or not.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
-2Ti 2:15
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
-Pro 15:28
The fact is that, many times in this letter alone, you have taught in direct opposition against God's Word. For example, you said:
"He loves the murderer the lier the deliverer of false teaching"
Yet, He (i.e. God) said:
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
-Pro 6:16-19
So you say that He loves these people, while He says that He hates these people (with the utmost hatred, i.e. abomination). Who am I to believe? Should I trust in your doctrine or in His? Of course, sending His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into this world was an act of love towards those who He is angry with every day because he is charitable even towards His enemies (Mat 5:45), but that does not mean He has some sort of warm feeling in his heart for the lying tongues of false teachers, as you have rashly stated.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
-Ecc 5:2

I do not believe that you heard me as "loud and clear" as you stated. The bottom line is that what you believe and teach is in direct opposition against what God teaches, and therefore, you have no calling to start any kind of so-called "ministry" because you will only spread more false doctrine. This is why my answer to your original question was this short, free-to-read book (which I wrote myself):
Why Millions of Believers on Jesus Are Going to Hell

If you cannot understand that, then you are wasting your time trying to start some leavened nonprofit organization. I say this for your sake, but I can only hope your heart is set to hear. If not, there is nothing more I can do for you. I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ would bless you and your family with safety and all your needs throughout the coming week, and I hope you have a pleasant evening. 🕵

Jan 3, 11:30 PM

I find it amazing how you wrote me for advice, and then have been arguing against me the entire conversation. You ignored all the Scripture I gave you, and in return, you sent me verse references, some of which I already know are taken out of context because I know them well. However, you said you wanted to take some time to look things up, and that's fair, so I will wait to draw any conclusions until you get back with me. Take your time, and have a great night.

Jan 3, 11:33 PM - ATTACHMENTS SENT WITH COMMENTARY TO 1COR 2

1 Corinthians 2:15 kjv. If you read the whole chapter you will find you have twisted the meaning. We are to judge all things by God's Spirit yet not be judged ourselves. Judgment is for the Lord only.

Again in John 7:24
Read whole chapter and a commentary will help you understand. See atachments

Ok. I have to sleep now.
I will pray for you,

Jan 3, 11:47 PM

I don't need a cheap 3-minute commentary from a leavened (i.e. corrupt) so-called "ministry" that promotes tons of false teachers. That's lazy and irresponsible. I have my own commentary, which you would know if you actually looked at anything I've taught, so it's ridiculous that you imply that I have never read the whole chapter, and I don't appreciate that back-handed slap.
http://creationliberty.com/articles/book1corinthians01.php#02
You ignored the Scripture I gave you because you do not have understanding, and that is because you do not understand verse 14, and this is why you are fighting so hard against me:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
-1Co 2:14
That makes me think I'm wasting my time, but you said you would look into some things, so for the sake of charity and fairness, I will wait. However, without repentance of your sin, you cannot be saved. Don't fool yourself on that point. This is why a man can read the Bible for a hundred years, and never understand it.
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
-2Ti 3:7
That's what happens when you put your faith into your feelings instead of the Word of God.

Jan 4, 12:07 AM

You are accusing me of slapping? You ask for proof of my salvation? You asked me for scripture then said why do you give me scripture? This is getting old.
I read the book....well most of it.....as i was reading as your email interrupted it.
It does not answer my question . So......wasted time.
I now ask God for forgiveness for doubting what I heard from Him by asking another for advice. I also forgive you. I will pray for protection...cast my care and sleep. No need to waste anymore time on me.
Blessings

Jan 4, 12:58 AM

Ok. I have to sleep now.
Well, that was a lie.

I appreciate the clarification. You read Christ's doctrine of repentance and remission of sins, and you pridefully rejected it. That's all I needed to know.
The multiple choice answer was C. I understand now.
Have a great night, and I hope the Lord Jesus Christ gives you as much mercy and longsuffering as He has been kind enough to give me.

END OF DISCUSSION

If you read what Denise said slowly, you can see her viciousness start to come out, especially if you have spent a number of years attending church buildings and know their habits. For example, in one of the letters, after I rebuked her, she said "I will pray for you," which some of you might take to mean that she is trying to be charitable, but that is not the way she meant it because she never mentioned praying for me before that point. Why did she wait until after I rebuked her to say that she was "praying for me?" It was said out of spite because, typically, when someone says "I will pray for you," it is after discussing something in which something bad has happened to someone, but here, Denise was just being passive-aggressive in deceit she did not want it to be known that she hated what I said to her.

In fact, one thing she said really stood out to me, and that was when she said "Cry if I'm moved to tears," which is essentially a tautology, or a sentence that means nothing. Everything cries if they are moved to tears; that's what crying is. So why would she say that? The reason she said that, if you did not catch it, is because she is trying to say that she rejects the doctrine of repentance without coming out and directly saying she rejects it, and then tries to hide behind some Bible verses where Jesus cried in order to justify herself. She thinks she's gotten away with that and justified herself, but she will not be able to justify her way out of it come Judgment Day, which is a scary thought.

She also said that she "forgives me," but for what? She never says. She said that she will pray for "protection," but it seemed to me that she meant for herself, casting off any concern about what the Scripture says on the matter because she think she is justified to worship her own feelings, and sleep well because she has satisfied her own heart.

I have had so many people write me emails asking for advice, and then when I give it to them, I am suddenly treated as an enemy. I guess I know why not many people ask me for advice, haha! However, I am not going to compromise God's Word just to make someone feel good about themselves, especially a corrupt Pentecostal who is willingly blinded into their religious cesspool, who desperately needs to hear the Gospel of Jesus so she can be saved--I just can't make people listen.

There were so many other inconsistencies and problems with what she wrote, but in these types of conversations when I am dealing with someone who I know will not listen, I have to pick and choose what I believe is most important for them to be saved. Feel free to comment on anything you found strange, interesting, or helpful.

What's New @ CLE / (WEEKLY TEACHING) Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism p16

What's New @ CLE / (ARTICLE) Should Christians Submit to Governing Authority?

« on: January 01, 2021, 05:43:57 PM »

Should Christians Submit to Governing Authority?

This article has been completely re-written to address concerns from both sides of the arguments. I have had some people write me trying to justify their sin by blaming police for their own crimes, and I am not going to suffer that without a hardy rebuke. Furthermore, we have seen unbelievable riots going on in this country from people trying defund our police, which is a violation of Scripture in so many ways, it is hard to know where to begin.

This teaching answers all that and more because Christians should obey the government and police in most cases, but should remember to hold obedience to the Lord God in higher regard.

Evangelism / Kenneth's Preaching Against an Ecumenical Heretic

« on: December 30, 2020, 12:06:34 PM »

I just really liked this video and wanted to share it:

The officers' accusation of "disorderly conduct" was LAUGHABLE. The following is from a Tennessee attorney's website describing what a prosecutor has to prove in order to sentence someone with disorderly conduct:

"In Tennessee, a person may be convicted of the crime of Disorderly Conduct if the state prosecutor proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the person was in a public place and with intent to cause public annoyance or alarm:

1) Engaged in fighting or in violent or threatening behavior; or
2) Refused to obey an official order to disperse issued to maintain public safety in dangerous proximity to a fire, hazard or other emergency; or
3) Created a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act that served no legitimate purpose."

Kenneth was nowhere near any of those charges, which leads me to believe that the officers were either trying to snow him, or they don't understand what it means. Here's the Tennessee code 39-17-305, under Disorderly conduct directly from the state law:

(a) A person commits an offense who, in a public place and with intent to cause public annoyance or alarm:

(1) Engages in fighting or in violent or threatening behavior;

(2) Refuses to obey an official order to disperse issued to maintain public safety in dangerous proximity to a fire, hazard or other emergency; or

(3) Creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act that serves no legitimate purpose.

(b) A person also violates this section who makes unreasonable noise that prevents others from carrying on lawful activities.

(c) A violation of this section is a Class C misdemeanor.

I'm not sure Kenneth wants to spend the time to do it, but the fact that he was ordered (under threat of arrest) to move off of a public sidewalk on the grounds of disorderly conduct is an offense that ought to be heard in court, meaning that Officer Smith ought to have his day in court so a judge can educate him on what the law is, and the boundaries of his authority. It would have been perfectly acceptable for Kenneth to stand on the street corner without any microphone and preach as much as he wanted.

General Discussion / Wind & Solar Are Not As Good As You Might Think

« on: December 29, 2020, 04:29:22 PM »

Lorraine is very heavily interested in these topics, and she asked me to post this. (Why she could not post it is still confusing to me, but I'll do it anyway.)

Nuclear energy is the safest, cheapest, and cleanest option there is, but because it does not cost very much, it does not make as much money for company owners. Therefore, they push for unreasonable solar and wind projects because they believe they can steal the money from taxpayers through ridiculous plans, such as the New Green Deal, which is a 100 trillion dollar project that was created by a idiotic young congresswoman, and it would absolutely destroy our country's economy.

Law/Legal / A Taste of What is Coming on Jan 6th

« on: December 26, 2020, 04:20:21 PM »

Someone the other night told me they did not know what I meant when I said something big is coming Jan 6th. Wait and pray for it because there is a movement of God-fearing people that are working hard in this country to do what is right, and one of the biggest protests this country has ever seen will take place on Jan 6th. Lorraine and I were in tears listening to this Congresswoman from Colorado because it was great to hear; it's just a shame that our women are having to stand up and do the job the men should be doing.

Law/Legal / GA Democratic Senator Runs Over His Ex-Wife's Foot

« on: December 26, 2020, 11:58:34 AM »

This was too interesting not to share. This is one of the men who is running as a democratic (or rather, communistic) senator in GA. He claims to be a pastor. This is who Trump went down to GA to help the Republican candidates campaign against. He got into a furious rage and ran over his ex-wife's foot while she was trying to take care of her daughter. Knowing the crocodile tears of feminists, I was watching the woman closely, and her tears and fear seemed consistent in her body language, and I believe her. At the end, you will see that she even tells the officer that she works in the Mayor's office and she has kept her ex-husband rage a secret from the public for the sake of his reputation, but she needs to come forward and tell Georgians the truth.

Amazing how these leftists claim that "every woman should be believed"... unless they are accusing a democrat.

General Discussion / I May Be Switching Some Social Media Outlets in the Future

« on: November 18, 2020, 09:37:13 AM »

I am not sure what I am going to do yet because I need to discover the full functionality of these new sites, but there are some social media platforms that have started to gain a lot of traction recently, and they are replacing YouTube and Twitter.

PARLER - parler.com (replacing Twitter)
RUMBLE - rumble.com (replacing YouTube)

These are social media platforms that advertise free speech for all, without censorship. So long as you do not post anything illegal or sexually explicit, they allow it on their platform. I need to do some work with them to see if they have the functionality I need for what I do on my website, but if Rumble can do some of the things YouTube can do, like embedded playlists for example, I might be leaving YouTube for good because, as it stands, YouTube is starting to become too dangerous, and I could lose my YouTube account at anytime on their biased, communist-style platform of censorship.

Some people might be afraid to do this because they lose all their "subscribers," but I was never in this to win a popularity contest, so I could care less how many subscribers I have.

If I decide to do any switching, I'll still leave up the old accounts so people can still watch videos, and I'll make announcements in multiple ways so everyone knows. Just stay tuned because I'll need some weeks or months to try them out side-by-side before I make any decisions.

What's New @ CLE / (UPDATE) The Biblical Understanding of Fasting

« on: November 18, 2020, 08:58:30 AM »

I wanted to make an important health note in my teaching on fasting. Here is the update I made today:

It should be noted that some people who fast have a problem with producing a lot of stomach acid during the fast, and I know this from experience because I am one of those people. Please do not confusing this with someone who randomly vomits during their fast because that can be normal. I have spent days (without a break) nauseous, heaving, and vomiting during a fast without any idea what was happening to me, so if anyone reading this has experienced such a problem, I would offer three suggestions because vomiting too much can be dangerous if the acidity gets into your blood stream. (i.e. You will begin to vomit uncontrollably and may end up in the hospital.)

1. Do not drink water in large portions all at once. When you drink water, sip your water in small doses consistently throughout the day. If you drink a large amount of water all at once (which I used to do), then your stomach will feel like it is full, and when that happens, your stomach does not know it is only filled with water, and therefore, it will automatically produce more acid to digest food that is not there, making your nauseous.
2. Drink hot water instead of cold water. Sipping on hot water can help warm your already cold body, and it will help to relax your stomach. You may also want to consider sipping chamomile tea (which is almost entirely water), which is daisy-like plant that has been traditionally known to calm the body and somewhat reduce nausea.
3. Take calcium antacid tablets. I would only use this as a last resort, but there are some people who have intense vomiting reactions from fasting because of the acidity in their stomach, and under that circumstance, it is better to be safe. The calcium will help neutralize the acid in the stomach. Just take one, and only use as needed.

Another sign of acid build-up in your stomach is if you have a horrible taste in your mouth. In my experience, it has made water extraordinarily difficult to drink because drinking it makes it taste like vomit. Under those circumstances, you may be exerpiencing a surplus of stomach acid, so just listen to your body and watch for the signs.

What's New @ CLE / (UPDATE) The Cure for Cancer

« on: November 16, 2020, 03:24:05 PM »

I discovered some new information today that I added to the section about scam charities, and why we should be cautious about giving to charities in general. I am not saying it is wrong, but rather, I am saying that, for a true charity, they will more often want volunteers than money, meaning people who are personally involved in their giving and do not just throw money at a problem and expect everyone else to handle it.

Here is the new update:

During the 2020 election season in the United States, researchers were investigating Senator Joe Biden, a former U.S. vice-president who (as of 2020, when he ran for president) is being investigated for various criminal activities, and those researchers discovered that Biden had his own cancer research charity organization called The Biden Cancer Initiative. Even though Biden spent many millions of dollars of donations on salaries for employees, tax records show that he did not spend one dollar on cancer research, and he never gave out one grant:
"A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show. The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, to 'develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,' according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington, DC, aides it hired."
-Isabel Vincent, "Tax filings reveal Biden cancer charity spent millions on salaries, zero on research," New York Post, Nov 14, 2020, retrieved Nov 16, 2020, [https://bit.ly/38PKMsu]

The article goes on to point out that Biden hired many of he personal friends and collegues, including Gregory Simon, a former Pfizer (pharmaceutical company) executive, and Danielle Carnival, Barack Obama's former chief of staff, just to name a couple. Biden's friends made anywhere from $250,000 to $430,000 in a single fiscal year, all paid for by the charitable donations of Americans looking to help their loved one, and any other money that left over went to pay for their meals, travel, hotel rooms, and to put on lavish conferences for their scam charity.

In fact, if you want to know how "charitable" Joe Biden is, reporters discovered that, as of 2008, Biden and his wife had only given an average of $369 a year to charity, meaning that he is more than happy to take millions from average middle class workers and give it to his friends, but not will to step up on his own dime to help others:
"Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade, his tax records show. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign today released 10 years' worth of tax returns for Biden, a senator from Delaware, and his wife Jill, a community college instructor. The Bidens reported earning $319,853 last year, including $71,000 in royalties for his memoir, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics. The Bidens reported giving $995 in charitable donations last year - about 0.3% of their income and the highest amount in the past decade. The low was $120 in 1999, about 0.1% of yearly income. Over the decade, the Bidens reported a total of $3,690 in charitable donations, or 0.2% of their income."

Law/Legal / What is happening right now in the U.S. elections?

« on: November 10, 2020, 07:58:34 AM »

I have discussed these things privately with our church over Skype, but for anyone else reading, I wanted to give you clear and concise information concerning what is going on in the United States. To be clear, Joe Biden has NOT been elected president, and Donald Trump has NOT lost the election. We do not currently know what will happen, but in America, presidential candidates are NOT declared by the media; rather, presidential candidates are declared by the courts, and these court declarations do NOT happen on election day.

Currently, there are at least six states that have not declared a winner because there is are MANY lawsuits being filed concerning voter fraud. Thankfully, here on the CLE Forum, there is no censorship of this information, as we are allowed speak freely of these things.

I would argue that the best explanation of what is going on right now in America can be understood in this short, 10-minute video produced by the Epoch Times, which is a truly non-biased, non-partisan media source:

If you are born again in the Lord Jesus Christ, and want to know what you can do, my answer is that prayer is INFINTELY more powerful than a vote.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
-James 5:16

Though there are none righteous, as Paul taught in Romans 3, we have been given the righteousness of Christ, and therefore, the prayer of one born again Christian is more powerful than a million votes. The will of the Lord should always be done, and we should always submit to Him, but we can express our grief to him of the many crimes being committed against the poor, the elderly, and the simple, praying that justice would be done to the evildoers, and mercy would be given to us all.

In my teachings, I have said before that I do not agree with the statement that "America is the greatest nation in the world," simply because that is a position of pride and arrogance, which is sin. However, that being said, I do believe that America has the greatest system of government (i.e. our Constitutional Republic) that the world has ever seen, which is why people from other countries flock to America seeking refuge and opportunity.

I give praise to God that we live in a country where my life is not threatened for preaching the Word of God, and that I may freely make my teachings available to people all over the world. However, in America right now, that freedom of speech and freedom of religion is under heavy persecution, and it may be only a short time before we begin to lose those rights, so our humble prayers to the Lord God is our greatest weapon against the wicked.

If we want the good, merciful favor of God, then the Bible tells us what we ought to do:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
-2 Chronicles 7:14

Rest assured, even if Joe Biden wins, and even if these leftists (which I refer to as the American Communist Party) get their way, the Lord God will NEVER let them have their way with His children. Even if they persecute us unto death, all things are by His will, and even if He wills for our deaths, the end result will be the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ with eternal life in His Kingdom, never knowing tears again.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
-Rev 21:4

Be bold in Christ. Trust in His Word. Pray that leaders would make the right decisions that we may continue the work Jesus Christ has ordered us to do, and that as many as possible would be brought to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of sins) and faith in Christ.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
-1Ti 2:1-4

Wild Emails @ CLE / Atheist Thinks YouTube is the Place for Debate

« on: November 09, 2020, 08:18:10 AM »

This letter was sent to me by a man named Tony from Australia, and this is the same "ptango" that came on to my old podcast show to debate against me on three separate occasions. I have not spoken to this man in many years, and so something must have triggered him to contact me, but his email was pointless, as you are about to see...

TONY FROM AUSTRALIA:

Wow you are one of those guys now who disables comments. One of the things that got me to talk to you on skyp all those years ago was the fact you were calling out atheists. You accused us of not having the courage of our convictions because we would not come on your show to discus it. Now you are that guy running from discourse. You are the one censoring descenting views. It great to see the Christian religion is still one of the most morally bankrupt ideologies around. Wow just wow dude. The disappointment is real

So, because I disabled YouTube comments, I am now "running from discourse?" I'm not sure if you are familiar with a logical fallacy called "hasty generalization," but you should look it up because that's exactly what you just did.

If you believe you can get real discourse on YouTube comments, I think you should look into some other mediums because YouTube comments are not where rational discussion takes place. Useless, brief comments (like that of this email you wrote me) is one of the many reasons I removed YouTube comments on videos, and since you have not made any statements that relate to anything that would resemble rational discourse in this email, I will bid you a good day because I have work to do, and such letters are just a waste of my time, especially coming from someone who (if I recall who you are) has never come up with a justification for good or evil in his own worldview. (i.e. It's hypocritical of you to talk about morality when you have no justification for your own.) I have already shown you the truth, you have rejected it, and so I have moved on to others who will listen instead of wasting my time with those who have no intent to listen.

I have no obligations to you, and you have your own Youtube channel where you are free to post anything you want, so have fun with that, and I hope you have a great day.

END OF DISCUSSION

I wish I had known more back when I had conversations with Tony and others on that podcast, but that was the better part of a decade ago, and there is nothing I can do about it now. However, one does not need a superb amount of knowledge to defeat an atheist in debate because their worldview is void of reason because they cannot justify reason, morals, logic, science, math, or any other related concept from an atheist perspective. Here is one of those debates:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0LvOS8WDco

Also, here is my full teaching on atheism:
Everything You Need to Know About Atheism

You might notice that Tony seems courteous on the outside when he goes on a show, but once he is able to hide behind his computer, his true heart comes out and he gets vicious, which was clearly seen by the many YouTube comments and emails he used to send me; proving the Bible true once again, as you can see for yourself if you read the first chapter of Romans.
