Amen Billy. I completely agree brother! I really wish I have spent more time about what the Bible says about anger and patience as much as I have about what the Bible says about dragons, angels, the Ark and other unusual things. Then I wouldn't have sinned the way I did toward Chris and Tim. I was a complete fool and dishonored my God. I am sorry if I discouraged you in any way!

God just spoke to my heart with "just because a man days he believes the Bible and mentally acknowledge that it's the words of God, a man does not really fully believe the Bible at all if a man does not obey it!" God is definitely chastening me for what I've done here. I don't expect to never make a mistake again, but I truly hope that I never make a fool of myself like this again in attacking other Christians who were just trying to help me.

Scott,

I am so sorry for some of the things I've said to you in my last post. I've had the pride problem, not Chris or Tim. I've had to repent for many things I've said here and I hope you will forgive me for my foolishness. Like you, I enjoy much of David W. Daniels' books and videos, but Chris is correct, Chick Publications has a false definition of repentance and this is troubling. I encourage you to watch Chris's YouTube videos titled "Is repentance a part of salvation"? You will hear the Biblical truth regarding the matter and how popular preachers and Christian celebrities get repentance completely wrong.

Thank you so much Chris and Tim,

I am so sorry. Sorry to everyone I hurt and annoyed and frustrated. I have had an unrighteous anger problem for a long time and I said so many stupid things here for which the Holy Spirit put me under heavy conviction. I mistakenly thought that Tim had deleted my comments and my account when I couldn't log in last week and I accused Tim to Chris without having all the facts. I allowed my sin of pride to take offense to Chris and Tim's concerns about my salvation when all they wanted was some evidence that I was who they said I was. I've never had my salvation questioned before and since I cherish my relationship with the Lord and have had an anger problem I let the devil take that as me being attacked and made a complete fool out of myself.

I am so ashamed of myself. For one, I'm ashamed of myself for talking to good Christian people that way and two, I'm ashamed of myself because I know the Bible pretty well. But knowing the Bible and obeying it are two different things. I've asked the Lord to take this anger away and I've had to repent of many things. I thank God for Chris being the Christian he is and teaching what the Bible actually says about repentance and how we are to act toward other Christians. I have failed my Lord by acting the fool, by being accusatory toward my brethren, for misunderstanding Chris's full stance on 501c3 and for not being clear on my salvation testimony. I understand completely that some of you may not believe I'm actually saved and born again and I understand that I may have jeapordized my reputation among you. Everyone here has a full right to be skeptical of me and I don't hold that against anyone here. I thank my God that He showed me my sin and convicted me and granted me repentance for this matter. I was so angry about someone questioning my salvation that I never stopped to consider that railing against such a simple line of inquiry would do more damage to my credibility as a Christian. I have argued with atheists, my unsaved parents and siblings, haters of our King James Bible and Christians who have beat up on me for believing the King James Bible and that God created everything, including dinosaurs, in six literal days thousands of years ago, so I carried that baggage with me when I started writing on this forum and took Chris and Tim's concern for my soul as an accusation I wasn't saved. I mistook pride for zeal, rashness for cleverness, and foolishness for understanding. This has been a very humbling experience for me and I've learned a great lesson. Please pray that the Lord irradicates this unrighteous anger that has rested in this fool's bosom. Thank you all.

Hi Scott,
I really enjoyed your testimony.  I'm also friends with David W. Daniels and I really like Chick Publications :-) Please don't be discouraged when people here "pick apart" your testimony. Some of them just want to make sure you truly are saved. They made me angry when they did the same to me but I realized I should've been more clear in what I wrote. Still, though, there's a lot of unscriptural judgment and pride here and it's very evident when Chris had to rebuke one of his own moderators as seen above.

There's some good material on this site, although I definitely don't agree with everything. For example, I don't think any Christian should mess around with 501c3, but I'm not going to accuse ministries of serving the devil because of it. That's going too far. There are some extreme views here that I can't support and so probably won't comment or post much after this. But I am glad to read your testimony Scott. God bless you brother.

Thank you all for the kind words and thank you Chris! Your passion for the word of God is inspiring.

Yep, Graham and Cash thought they could still be married to the world and live for Christ at the same time. Does NOT work! I have mixed feelings about Johnny Cash because his gospel songs (not all, but some) really helped me focus on the Lord. But at the end of the day, I give no one but God credit for leading me to a place of repentance! Once you surrender your life, mind and heart and your whole being to Christ, ALL that worldly stuff has to go! Cash should have switched to a full time gospel singer or hung up his guitar! As for Graham...ugh..never liked him. That dude never gave me anything I couldn't get by picking up a Bible and reading it out loud to myself in a mirror!

What's New @ CLE / Re: (ARTICLE) 501c3: The Devil's Church

« on: May 17, 2019, 08:45:29 PM »

Ugh, after reviewing all the facts about the 501c3 code of the IRS, I find it to be totally absurd. I had no idea. No group of Christians has any business going to the Federal government for ANYTHING regarding the duties, activities, rights or business of a church! 501c3 is totally unscriptural and NO Christian should have anything to do with it. The churches are supposed to be founded on Jesus Christ and the principles of the word of God, not the godless IRS regulations and tax status codes! What a disgrace! I just had no idea! Thank you Chris for the material you've put out on this subject brother!

Bible Discussion / The King James Bible versus the Occult

« on: May 16, 2019, 11:02:56 AM »

In my testimony posted here, I talked about all the garbage I've read on Cryptozoology, Freemasonry, archaeology, alchemy, Atlantis, Holy Grail etc. For years and years I read book after book on that junk, and I'd like to share with everyone here the conclusion I reached after I got familiar with God's perfect Bible:

Next to reading, studying and knowing the King James Bible and having a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, there is NO excitement, NO joy, NO fulfillment, NO knowledge, NO holiness, NO satisfaction, NO contentment, and NO benefit from knowing all that stuff at all. There is just no contest.

The King James Bible is THE greatest Book of spiritual, historical, supernatural, zoological, moral, scientific, philosophical, pure, useful, practical, and fulfilling and satisfying knowledge there is, ever has been or ever will be this side of Heaven. If I had spent as much time in the Bible as I had that other junk, I would be a better Christian and a better and wiser person. It's good to know some of that stuff so you can refute it and cross reference what the Bible says about it, but no Christian should spend too much time on it. I can tell you that there simply is NO occult secret or mystery that's worth digging for that you can't already find in a King James Bible, and we should praise God for that fact!

Bible Discussion / Re: Vipers

« on: May 15, 2019, 03:42:06 PM »

Thank you for posting this. I have always struggled with passages such as these, because (and NO, I do NOT believe the Bible contradicts itself) there are plenty of verses that tell us not to be railers and such. And yet, ALL through the Bible, God just blasts and rebukes Israel with the harshest statements I have ever read! That's what I've always found funny about Christians who complain about other Christians being negative lol. It's like, have you actually read the Bible at all? Actually, THAT'S THE PROBLEM, today's so called Christians DON'T read it at all. That's why I won't even waste time with a man who doesn't argue from scripture. And one of the things I hate the most is when you quote scripture to a person and they just ignore it. At that point, they've disrespected the word of God and there is no point in wasting any more time with them. Good post!

Bible Discussion / The King James Bible and Freemasonry

« on: May 15, 2019, 01:09:14 PM »

I find the article on King James and Freemasonry on the Creation Liberty Evangelism website to be top notch! I have researched Freemasonry for a long time as well as the claims of people who accuse King James of being a Mason and accusing the King James Bible as being full of Masonic symbols. The article on the site answers those claims in an excellent manner and is similar to a Facebook article I did last year when I was still on Facebook, before they started censoring my Bible posts!

One of the most misunderstood things about Freemasonry is that so-called "Masonic symbols" are actually symbols they took from the Bible and used for another purpose. Jachin and Boaz, Tubalcain, Solomon's Temple, the Winding Stairs, Jacob's Ladder, the Cornerstone, etc are the Bible's intellectual property, NOT Freemasonry's! Great stuff in your website guys. Just top notch research!

I've asked the Lord to forgive me for going on a rant like I did and not realizing that you guys just wanted me to be more clear on my testimony of salvation in our Lord. I feel pretty foolish. I apologize again.

Is there anyway I can get the posts deleted where I accused you of being Pharisees? That was a knee jerk reaction and not really fair, especially now that I've read your viewpoints on salvation, repentance etc.

Introduce Yourself / I am not a Ruckmanite!

« on: May 15, 2019, 10:53:24 AM »

Hey guys. Wanted to say a few things about my stance on the King James Bible and Peter Ruckman. Soon after I got saved, I started reading the publications of James L. Melton of Bible Baptist Church and his stuff led to Peter Ruckman and I was tremendously blessed by their books. However, there are many things that I do NOT agree with Peter Ruckman on, or Melton for that matter. I agree with the men where they agree with scripture, but I part ways when they say one thing and the King James Bible says something different. I am a Bible believer, I am NOT a Ruckmanite!

Well, after praying about everything that happened, I realize I really shouldn't have gotten as upset as I did. The rules for this forum are a little stringent, but please allow me to correct myself and maybe clear some things up.

First, one thing the Lord made me realize from all this is that, when giving my testimony, I really don't need to give people my whole life story or what I was interested in BEFORE I got saved, as all that really doesn't matter. So let me state my salvation testimony once more without using any slang or incoherent words.

When I turned eighteen years old, knowing what I knew about what the Bible says about sin, repentance, Heaven and Hell and what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us, I finally decided I didn't want to run away from God anymore. I knew I was a sinner on my way to Hell and that Jesus Christ was my only hope. So I got down on my knees and confessed to the Lord that I was a sinner and that I believed Jesus died for me and I asked Him to save my soul and I surrendered my life to Him. God saved my soul that day and I had immediate assurance of salvation and obeyed the Lord in baptism shortly thereafter. Please forgive me for getting so upset Timothy and Chris and others. Jesus is the most important Person in my life and I get troubled and stressed out when people don't believe that I am saved, Blood bought and born again. So, I'm asking for another chance here. I love talking about God's word, creation and Bible prophecy and that's why I wanted to be a part of this forum. If you guys don't feel that I've earned another chance, I understand and you can delete my account. Just let me know. Thanks guys

Lol I'm reminded of the story Pete Ruckman told one time about a Charismatic who kept asking him how he got saved and then saying he couldn't be saved everytime Ruckman answered him. Ruckman was right about something else too. The people who give a Christian more trouble and strife in this life is other Christians. We really are the only army that shoots our own wounded.

Can I ask, is criticizing a Christian before he's done writing and ignoring Proverbs 18:13 evidence of your salvation?
