Chris, thank you for explaining that to me, I can see his rejection of his sin in the way he always talks about being kicked out of places like this forum. He just said that it was because of wicked men and women but if this is how he reacted to asking genuine questions or disagreement to an issue, I can frankly see why he was kicked out. If he cannot see any of his sins except for being gay, then he truly can't judge himself or have a discussion.

Kenneth, I checked out your YouTube channel and found one of his comments:

You are not sent by the Holy Spirit, nor are you speaking in the Power of the Holy Spirit.  You are not treating these people in humility.  You are not there by the Holy Spirit.  You stated you've lead 100's of people to Jesus Christ, where are they? Then  you stated they rejected.  That is not leading people to Jesus Christ. Leading people to Jesus Christ means the Holy Spirit brought them to Salvation. If they rejected Him, then you have not lead people to Jesus Christ.  Who sent you, your local fellowship, or have you decided to just go out on your own?  One needs to be sent, so that they are added unto the Body of Christ, where they will be fed the Word of God, teaching them to depend on Jesus to finish that which He started within them.   
How does one get "contrite"?  It's the Holy Spirit that grants a person the Grace to be convicted of sin, leading unto Confession of sin, then Repentance, cleansing, and the sealing by the Holy Spirit.
Very sad........

Earlier, I checked out his website(s) and his blog is attached to other blog including his other blog called "My Blog". These blogs are difficult to navigate and there is no attempt at making easier to navigate for visitors. He believes that there is a seven-year tribulation period, there is no free will, uses the greek scam, street preaching is useless, and will often use the New King James.

I once shared with him how an “street evangelist” should not be preaching,  where Christ is preached in various cities, because Paul speaks, how he only “preached Christ” where it was not preached, so that he would not build on another’s foundation. Rom 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
Rom 15:21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. I also shared with him, that the local body of Christ needs to send him out to preach, because he is backed up by that Body.  To go off on one’s own is not following after the “foundation as practiced and taught by the Apostles.
He did not like my sharing this info, so he deleted my comments without discussion and then proceeded to un-follow my blog and blocked me from his blog.

The use of the Greek word “tropos,” which is used in the English phrase “in like manner,” instructs believers to expect at Christ’s return for them parallels of what had been witnessed at His departure.

We now return to the Scriptures we originally cited in the outset of this message. It is here that we will uncover the error of those who insist that the Rapture (that is the immortal glorification and catching up of the Church to the Lord) takes place at the same time when Christ returns to the earth at the close of the age.

https://watchman1948.wordpress.com/2023/09/24/jesus-returns-in-like-manner/

He keeps coming back because he, the Holy and Sacred Man who was Taught by the Holy Spirit who Can Never be Corrected, was accused of saying or teaching something wrong. He can't take it, so he is fine with lying, railing, and committing sinful acts, just so he can get some form of revenge. He teaches that men shall suffer for serving Christ and he is proving that is a fact.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. -Matthew 5:11

... That was a lie, even though he just lied about his lies by saying, "Who is lying here, not I." I don't believe this man ever came to repentance of his sin, and I think Kenneth hit the nail on the head, namely, that Cal thinks he is the victim of other peoples' sin.

I have been thinking about this as well and I can say a little confused when you said. When you said, "Cal thinks he is the victim of other peoples' sin." Do you mean Cal doesn't feel ashamed nor have any grief and Godly Sorrow for his sins and actions? He believes that he is the victim of others' sins but not his own. That would certainly explain his behavior here. Is this what you meant?

This is why he was angry that we critiqued and questioned him. He is here for ONE REASON ONLY: To advertise his useless blog that no one reads.

Yeah, he was advertising for his blog as can be seen here:

Yes, and according to your "rules" If one has a website, which you should be reading to get to know what I have been taught by the Lord, I could then join your "Skype" meetings.  Which I will not be doing since I can not fellowship with those who are dishonest, and do carry on with Masonic symbolism.  Eventually the fruit of a ministry comes forward when presented with truth.

I will be adding this "CLE" ministry to my Blog writings warning the sheep to stay away from ALL cult Forum's. And the teachings of Christopher JE Johnson and pointing out why.

On a side note, I know that just because one has a website does not mean they are automatically allowed into the meetings. So where is he coming from? I also find it funny how he accuses us of dishonesty and using masonic symbolism without pointing out a single one of either.

Since you never welcomed me from the onset, but only coming running to protect and support your idol. You have nothing worth while to say, because you are part of the Forum cult to protect your master.

Who is lying here, not I.

On another note, I think I need to explain why I didn't introduce myself to Cal. I didn't because I was suspicious when he first joined. Specifically, his introduction was a little weird as both Kenneth, Chris, and Rowan pointed out. The fact he went for a big post trying to convince everyone of some topic nearly immediately after he joined didn't help. I thought if I did introduce it would have been a waste of time because it could end the same way with the person either leaving or being banned due to not wanting to be like-minded. So I just waited to see if my suspicion was necessary to join in on the discussion. If it was wrong of me to do so, please let me know.

Luk_9:5  And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.


Since you never welcomed me from the onset, but only coming running to protect and support your idol. You have nothing worth while to say, because you are part of the Forum cult to protect your master.

And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. Luke 9:3-5

I was thinking of what he said and concluded: He was not fulfilling these verses because these required him to leave but he just kept coming right back. Kenneth, Rowan, and Chris all did receive him and wanted a conversation but he was the one that didn't receive them nor did he want discussion.

I just noticed something, he has a link to his blog on his profile. This post is a copy and paste of something he has written on his website:
omeseegoodnessofthelord.wordpress.com/2021/12/14/disciples-of-jesus-christ-joining-the-military-is-like-adding-lemon-juice-to-milk-it-just-doesnt-mix/

I have found some red flags, for example: Cal says he is not a Calvinist but he believes there is no free will:
https://comeseegoodnessofthelord.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/the-deceitful-lie-free-will-belief-ism-and-teaching-is-from-the-author-of-all-lies-the-serpent/

I do realize that there will be a certain amount of anger from those who do believe in “Free Will”, but the Lord’s word stands on it’s own. I have run across a number of people who do believe in this lie, and their rage against those that believe that salvation is a gift given from the Lord unmerited, and against their human will, is the proof that they react out of fear and pride, for they do not desire to admit that they are absolutely destitute in the capability of choosing God. The religious folk during the Lord’s time was proof of that. He found NO FAITH in the midst of Israel. And it is, sadly, in these last days.

You will only be banned if you do things against forum rules and regulations. Your original post does not break any rules but this one does with false accusations, refusing to reason out topics in contention, and committing uncharitable judgments.
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. Proverbs 6:16-19

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. Proverbs 13:10

Now that you are leaving, I will say this: keep your word and depart from us in peace.

This is just a carbon copy of another post made by the same guy and apparently, that is not his first attempt either to draw the flock away:
https://www.creationliberty.com/forum/index.php?topic=1604.0

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:1-5

Also, I highly doubt his name and/or location is "hari" so it is very likely that is lying to us.

« on: November 23, 2023, 09:32:23 AM »

The sad part is all this came from just from you telling him this:

That is something I used to believe could happen to someone because of the leavened influence Kent Hovind had on me, but after the Lord freed me from that brainwashing and moved me into study of the Scriptures on my own, I now understand it is not the path to salvation. No one gets saved through being exposed to creation materials. They get saved by the hearing of the law.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. - Gal 3:23-25
Having one's mind changed about creation/evolution is not repentance of sin, nor is "turning from sin" repentance of sin (because those are works-based doctrines). The hearing of the law brings a man to tears of godly sorrow of his wrongdoing.

At no point did you tell him that he wasn't saved but he keeps adding more fuel to the fire.
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. - Ecclesiastes 5:2

At what point were you railing at him? Sure you were jesting on a previous post but that's because he made an absurd statement about getting an "A" on his testimony and treated it like it was completely infallible at that point. He really does believe that means that he is incapable of not having understanding or being saved. How dare you the self-righteous pharisee cult leader point out what the Bible says about how people are saved? I am beyond such methods because all my teachers said it was great.
A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. - Isaiah 65:3-5

IN 37 years of being saved and in ministry, not one time have I have ever met such a confused and "YOU ARE NOT SAVED!:" person, not even in IFB College..  When trying to be corrected, you do not even listen or read.  I corrected you once, that I am saved BY the Blood of the Lamb, the LORD Jesus Christ, and that journey started through knocking out the edifice of false science (evolutionism) I admonished you once, and now became YOUR enemy.  Jesus will say to you one day,   You should understand these things, if you were saved and not religious.  If you wish to learn Scripture, get out of that self-righteousness cult, then I can help. I teach the Word of God to those who are willing tol earn, not the ones who think they know every thing and think no one but those who say the right words to them are saved, based upon their own standard.

I did check out his website and well... I got what I expected from his gospel of salvation. There is no mention of the Law or repentance (correct or incorrect definitions) and follows the "Roman road" that he believes will lead to salvation:

The Gospel is eloquently given in long form for many chapters by Paul in Romans and, walking through it, one gets the entire Gospel given in just a few short verses, thoroughly in a manner some call, "Romans Road". Here is a gleaning of the basics:
The Indictment
(Romans 3:9-18)
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
(Romans 3:23)
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(Romans 6:23)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 8: 1)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
(Romans 10:9-10)
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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The Scriptures above mean that we are sinners, saved only by Grace through the shed blood sacrifice of the LORD Jesus on the Cross.

He kept calling the Bible's standards for the salvation of grief and godly sorrow for sin and remission 'your' standard because if what you said is accurate then that would mean that he was never saved according to the Word. It would also mean all the people he's looked up to most likely were never saved as well and the number of people he believes he's led to salvation would be actually small or nonexistent. He came after you to defend everything he stands for because it would mean everything he's ever accomplished is for naught. You are against everything he's ever stood for and believes just because you pointed out this verse:
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. - Gal 3:23-25

Wild Emails @ CLE / Re: REEEEEE!! "You're a Pharisee AND a Sadducee!"

« on: November 22, 2023, 10:39:06 PM »

I mean, imagine saying that to Jesus Christ on the Day of Judgment.

"You never knew me?! Excuse me?! I got an 'A' in Testimonies 101! You don't have a PhD!"

LOL!

However, on a more serious note, I can't help but think of these verses.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. - 1 Corinthians 1:26-29

This man is practically wearing a sign that I respect persons, or as the verses say, "wise men". I mean look at the name game (name-dropping people he believes helps his argument) he's playing: I met "insert person here" or I read books by "insert doctor here". I mean look at how many doctors he mentions.

On another note, I can't help but notice similarities between him and the people you mention who use tithe as justification when you point out there is no repentance in their words or hearts. In this case, he uses his "cemetery" training to defend himself. I also find his letters confusing and would not reason anything out while accusing you of several things. Besides indirectly calling you a Pharisee and a Sadducee, he also (indirectly and directly) you of being a Baptist, a legalist, a brawler, pushing a "standard for salvation", being cold, and being unwelcoming. I take it this man is only new-time listener or reader, then, just from these accusations alone. One funny note is that you're called the weirdest Christian.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. - 1 Peter 2:8-9

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. - Galatians 5:19-21

In 37 years, you are by FAR, very far, the strangest "Christian" I have ever met. My testimony got an "A" in three Bible classes Dr. Jackson, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Goddard, at college.  A short and a long version.   I should have known when you "were confused" by everything I said, the exact opposite, completely unlike the thousands to who I have spoken the Gospel, taught before congregations and villages on three continents.

What does having an "A" on your testimony by three different scholars have to do with being saved by the Lord Jesus Christ? I know it's great to tell others about what He has done in our lives but how does having an "A" by three teachers at what I assume is a "cemetery college" show it's somehow "better" with that fact revealed?

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy [a way of thinking] and vain deceit [useless lies], after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. - Colossians 2:8

Rudiment: A first principle or element; that which is to be first learnt; as the rudiments of learning or science. Articulate sounds are the rudiments of language; letters or characters are the rudiments of written language; the primary rules of any art or science are its rudiments. Hence instruction in the rudiments of any art or science, constitutes the beginning of education in that art or science.

Apologies to anyone reading this. It seems I've gotten in over my head. As for what's going through my head at the moment, I'm wondering if much of what I had been believing is mistaken. My ex-wife would sometimes comment: "You're always looking for a God to follow" In regards to my inclination to listen to and be deceived by teachers and bosses.

Travis, the problem with what you've written is that you're trying to interpret the Bible according to your rudiment (the first things you've learned) from the world. This is something we all have done but those things can become a problem. However, I believe that you can and will grow out of your rudiment but it will take some time. So continue to study for and pray for understanding.

Bible Discussion / Re: I don't know what to do...

« on: November 17, 2023, 06:28:53 PM »

I've come across the Christian Identity movement before (mainly in the form of British Israelism), and have just been refreshing my knowledge of it. One of its core teachings (and heresies) is the claim that Aryans rather than Jews are God's chosen race. People involved in this movement believe that white Europeans are the true Israelites and that the Jews are descendants of Canaanites, who in turn are descendants of Cain. They allege that Cain was a "cursed hybrid" of an illicit union between Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden. (I'm not sure whether every CI person believes this, but a great many do.)

Wait a second, are they (the CI movement) claiming that the children of Cain are alive today? That is impossible because all of mankind perished in the flood except for Noah and his family. Noah wasn't a descendant of Cain, so Cain could not have been the father of the Canaanites.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. Genesis 7:21-23

To be exact, He was a descendant of Seth, not Cain:
Adam, Sheth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 1 Chronicles 1:1-4

Another thing is, as Rowan rightly pointed out, it does not matter what we are and what background we have.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
This can be seen in the fact that Jesus Christ had disciples from several backgrounds. He had fishermen, a doctor, a tax collector, and even a Canaanite as His disciples.
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Matthew 10:2-4

Actually, Travis, I wasn't referring to the story ideas, I was referring to all my actions before and after that. I focused heavily on political and worldly things. I didn't post any scripture because I hadn't read the Bible at all nor did I understand it. I would often make vain comments that often never contributed to conversations. I said and did awful things both on and outside of this forum. I would often skip portions of conversations because I did not understand them. For example, in the wild emails, I would only read what Chris had written and did not read what was written by the other person. I am thankful that both the Lord Jesus Christ and everyone here is so longsuffering with me because it is deplorable how I acted to others. I am also thankful to the Lord for giving me any discernment because I am not worthy of any of it. As for sanctification, I am still trying to get away from worldly things but I often keep coming back to them and I absolutely hate that I keep doing that. I am telling you this Travis because I wanted to let you know you're not alone.

Hello Travis,

My name is Caleb and I have to admit that I am a bit hesitant to introduce myself to new people on the forum. I need to get over but I have been after having some bad instances with those that joined and did not want fellowship or understanding. I am going to put this bluntly: I was not a Christian when I first joined this forum as well. However, unlike you who understood that fact, I believed I was one falsely, it wasn't until a few years after I joined that I understood that and understood what repentance really is. When I first joined I had no discernment, no wisdom, and no understanding. I hate myself for all the things that I said and did because they were an offense to the Lord as well as others. I am overjoyed by just how forgiving and merciful the Lord is to me and others even with my sin. Although, that doesn't mean that sin is justified as I absolutely hate that I do it and can only beg for forgiveness in the end. I believe you share that sentiment now as well.

Also, now that you have repented just remember just because you don't understand something right away does not mean you are a false convert. I admit I was left scratching my head at verses (Luke 11:5-13) posted by Chris for at least a day or two. When it was explained I felt like I was the biggest idiot, although, we all are idiots in the end as our understanding can only come from the Holy Spirit. Never be afraid to ask the Lord for understanding because he will grant it.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5

Hello Terence,
This is Caleb and I need to remind you because you need first to complete your introduction before you can post anything else:
All New Members (READ THIS FIRST!)
https://www.creationliberty.com/forum/index.php?topic=20.0

I am not saying you cannot discuss these topics but you need to obey forum rules. You have 48 hours to create an introductory post. Just do this:

Please don't just say "Hello." This forum is not an impersonal social media site. Keep in mind that we do not know who you are, and so writing a bit about yourself, your beliefs, how you found this site, why you joined, (if you claim to be a Christian, include the testimony of your conversion and salvation unto Christ), etc; all those types of details will help us get to know you a bit better, and we hope you enjoy conversing with born again Christians here.

I goofed on the second post, it's Blackwell, not "Blackwood."

After reviewing the second video, I can say that Don Blackwood is teaching false doctrine about repentance as well. At 6:15, he says repentance is a "change of mind, produced by Godly Sorrow, resulting in a reformation of Life,", not that it is Godly Sorrow. At 8:52, he is correct that there is no salvation without sorrow, then says that "sorrow comes from someone teaching me that I am a sinner and I have done things deserving of hell,". He at no point mentions bringing the law to them:
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3:24

At 13:24, 14:21, 15:59, 18:14, and 26:14, are all places where he keeps saying repentance is a "change of mind," not "Godly Sorrow."
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8
