Evangelism / Open Air Preaching

« on: December 01, 2022, 07:52:29 PM »

I've seen a lot of various open air preachers. One thing I have observed is that many of them become very hardened in the face of constant adversity. It's obvious that there are many people possessed by devils and one of the strategies of those devils is to constantly bombard them with evil to cause the preachers to hate the people that are captive and to recompense evil for evil causing them to leave off preaching the truth in love being led of God and get them preaching by their own power, in the flesh to be void of the power of the Spirit of Christ. 

 I'm a firm believer that anyone that thinks they are called to preach in this manner,  should first,  be certain that this is what their calling is of God and be sure to spend much time in the secret place of the Most High. It also helps to have others supporting them in prayer before, during and after these events. 

I've seen these street preachers before:

I wonder if there's anyone here that's seen their preaching also. They've traveled throughout the entire nation for over a decade having preached at many hundreds of events and millions of people. Most of their preaching is on the western side of the country though.  They seem to have a very solid message and as the years go by they kind of teeter back and forth with becoming jaded and hateful and going back to having a genuine concern for their audience.
So I think that they are genuinely called to do what they do and would ask anyone here to remember them in your prayers that they would not be effected by the world or the strategies of the devils.

I have never done this kind of open air preaching before. So I do not know the battles that they face firsthand  beyond the revelation given to me in prayer and their testimonies. 


How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Bible Discussion / "Be Ye Not Unequally Yoked Together With Unbelievers "

« on: November 30, 2022, 06:19:00 PM »

This one scripture is most often quoted to be in the context of a warning to the believer to not be married to an unbeliever.  That's what I used to think also,  because it was taught exclusively in that context in the impostor churches.  Shaking off the dust of the traditions of men and the false teachings that I have learned (and believed) over the years,  this is one that I revisited recently.  The context is actually very clear and it is speaking of the believers working together with unbelievers "in the ministry of God."  At the end of this chapter,  the church is specifically told to come out from among them and not to touch the unclean thing.  I have heard preachers use this to offer justification for people to divorce or put away their wife or husband, thinking that this passage is describing marriage,  that would be a logical takeaway,  but that's not the context,  nor the embodiment of this chapter. 

2 Corinthians 6

1 We then, as workers together with him
[chapter 5 defines "him" as God]
, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

This became clearer once I realized that the church that Christ has built is exclusively his saints that have been born of his Spirit and that the unbeliever is not a part of his Church. The impostor churches are mingled congregations of believers and the unbelievers working together for what many of them think is the ministry of God.

I think there's much more depth to be gleaned from this than what is on the surface,  however when we realize that we've believed something falsely such as this passage being about marriage,  then we're no longer limited to the confines that the false teachings have held our minds in. 
I see a lot of problems with being yoked together with unbelievers in the work of the ministry of God.

This isn't to say that there's not a principle of unity found in this chapter that can be translated into marriage, as it is not good for a believer to marry an unbeliever, but that could only be a warning to not enter such a union, and not acceptable to dissolve one that already exists. There are other scriptures that speak about that, clearly.  When we are specifically told to "come out from among them" in this passage, if one believes this is speaking of marriage,  then it lends to the idea that it's okay to divorce your spouse because they are not a believer and that is warned against in other scripture. 

The main reason I brought this topic up is that after having read several dozen topics here,  I've noticed "be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers" being used in the context of marriage,  so I thought it might be a great topic to address.  I know there are people that need to read this and pray regarding this specific topic.  It might have eternal significance.

Bible Discussion / Can God Be Tempted?

« on: November 29, 2022, 07:11:44 PM »

One thing I have learned throughout the years is that  there are no contradictions in truth and many things that appear(/I] to be contradictions in the Bible,  are actually not, when read in their context, rightly divided.  I haven't found any yet.  I do address those things because I have a love for the truth and will not be dogmatic in believing a lie and every one of us have been deceived by our own hearts,  as well as false teachings. I have learned it's better to be educated than to be opinionated.  As we grow in the fulness of the knowledge of Christ and His words,  we learn the truth and escape deceptions.  On that note, Iwas just reading a thread where Anvil Hauler made an absolute statement, that was supported by scripture from James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Which points out an apparent contradiction in what I have believed. Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

It appears that Jesus was tempted to commit sin in the same way that we are,  "in all points"

Jesus Christ is The Lord. He is Almighty God.

This is my initial thought about this,  and question: Did he vacate his status as God to become a man and then after he was resurrected into the glory that he had before, as God again?


Was that the reason that he was called "the son of man" and also "man?"

I was taught and believed that while he was upon the earth,  he was fully God and fully man. 

I confess that I have not studied out the "deity of Christ" in a long while,  so It's possible that even a commonly known scripture could dismiss my thought and question about it. 
I enjoy addressing these kinds of topics to further my understanding.

To me,  it's okay to not have all the answers,  as I journey on, I learn and the blanks get filled in,  as long as I don't harden my mind in error.  Lots of people do this and it's kind of sad to see how much people miss out in knowledge.

If anyone has any thoughts on this topic,  please do share,  especially if you have scripture references. 

Working on a mobile device to text these things in,  takes a lot more time than I thought it would,  especially when using the text options lol

General Discussion / Germ Theory (virology)

« on: November 28, 2022, 04:42:10 PM »

In 2012 I had some information come across my desk that was basically a presentation of germ theory being a fraud from its inception. I remember listening to the detailed description of the experiments conducted by Dr. Milton J. Rosenau in 1918 that concluded transmission of the "Spanish Flu" was not observational via airborne pathogens or contact with bodily fluids (including ingesting them).  The experiment was conducted in a very controlled way with (if my memory serves me correctly) 300 subjects and they were not able to transmit the disease to any of the healthy people.  That seemed very peculiar to me and as I began looking into this information more,  it seemed so unreasonable,  as the conclusions of the presentations showed that viruses do not even exist,  let alone cause disease.  At that point I dismissed it all because we can observe what appears to be sicknesses spreading from one person to another.  So it seemed to be out of touch with reality.

8 years later....I knew that we were absolutely NOT in a pandemic,  as bodies weren't dropping dead all over the place and the censorship of scientists and real health experts had gone into overdrive while textbook propaganda was in full swing.  Within a few months it was estimated that 3-4 Billion messages had been launched throughout every form of media possible,  instilling fear into people's minds.  I had already been aware of uncensored platforms and also controlled opposition,  so this wasn't my first rodeo. Seeing that Papayas,  goats, Coca-Cola and even mangos were "testing positive" for SARS-COV2,  I looked into the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) that was being used to diagnose CONVID19 and quickly found that Kerry Mullis (the Nobel prize winner that invented PCR) was a vocal critic of Fauci and his attempts to use PCR to diagnose disease. Kary Mullis stated, emphatically that PCR cannot diagnose disease.  It can't tell you if your sick and it can't tell you what causes sickness.  That's just not what PCR does and that's not how it works.  In a very long and interesting interview,  Kerry Mullis explained how he discovered that there was no evidence that even came close to showing that HIV causes AIDS and in his interview he dropped a few names of others that had been completely destroyed by the establishment educational facilities and scientific circles for questioning the HIV=AIDS hypothesis.  One of those people was Dr. Peter Deusberg,  a microbiologist that had dedicated his life to exposing the fraud . His name was dragged through the mud and he was blacklisted from the universities and publications of the scientific journals for merely questioning the narrative.  Well,  that led me down the road of researching even further and in my research I had discovered that both Canada's and Ireland's health departments were ordered by courts to present proof that SARS-COV2 had been Isolated and purified and was shown to be the cause of COVID19.  Simple request, right? I mean,  they subjected 187 nations to draconian lockdowns, mandates and orders,  surely they had proof that this cooties bug exists, right? WRONG! Both health departments conceded to the highest courts of the lands that no such proof exists and that SARS-COV2 had not been Isolated (in the commonly understood term of "isolation") and no scientific studies have been conducted to show the courts that SARS-COV2 causes COVID19. 
Virologists have a different definition of "isolation" than what any layman would think it to mean.  However,  the thing that struck me was that they had no scientific literature that shows any proof of the existence of the most dangerous cooties infection the world has ever seen...(insert sarcasm). I want to laugh at this point, but it's not really funny when I consider how many lives have been sacrificed for this global takeover.  It's heart breaking!

Armed with this information,  I began going back to that information I dismissed in 2012 and low and behold! It was not as far fetched as I thought it was.  Turns out that in the entire history of virology there has never been any controls that have Isolated and purified a virus,  showing it to do anything at all! The nanomicron (or nanometric) particles that they say are viruses,  are actuality dead protein matter that doesn't even have a full genome. They actually looked oddly similar to particles of cells, once they die and begin to break down. 

This brings more questions than it does answers,  so I was wondering if anyone here has gone down this particular arena of research to learn about the fraud behind virology and its direct ties to vaccines/inoculations.

I learned that Loui Pasteur was funded by Rockefeller wealth to create a demand for his pharmaceutical products and that Pastuer's colleagues criticized his work as being void of the scientific method.  Same with Robert Koch (the inventor of the Koch's Postulates).

I have been sending people to odysee.com and specifically to Dr. Mark Bailey and Dr. Sam Bailey who are in New Zealand and have a regular weekly podcast/vlog where they interview some very astute people in the fields of science.  These doctors do not claim the faith of Jesus Christ.  They actually seem to lean toward the New Age philosophies,  so that part had been a huge disappointment to me,  yet they source the information they present so that the listeners and viewers can look at it themselves. 

At the risk of sounding as crazy as I thought Andrew Kaughman was in 2012, I will say that I do not believe in viruses anymore. 

Also, scriptures do not have any cautions for airborne pathogens,  that I've ever found and I've been reading and studying God's words for over 30 years.  There does seem to be precautions to take for what is likely bacterial  infections,  with the running of water over the skin and clothing and the unclean elements that must needs be cleaned.  There are also spirits that cause infirmity and spirits are observed with electro magnetic frequency detecting technology.  Which brings me to a variety of hypotheses regarding the health of man,  the benefit of God's words applied in our lives through faith,  as well as having a rich source of nutrition in natural foods that the Lord has made...all of these add to the health of the body and sicknesses are much more likely to be caused by deficiency in minerals,  vitamins,  amino acids, proteins, microbiome populations,  coupled with environmental toxins .

Whew! That was a mouthful!

Introduce Yourself / Scott's Introduction

« on: November 28, 2022, 11:10:37 AM »

Hi, my name is Scott.  A bit about me: I'm a divorced father,  entrepreneur,  homeowner,  avid student of science,  outdoorsman, what I believe: I believe that truth can be found to anyone that sincerely seeks after the truth and recognizes that we haven't always been taught the truth... quite the contrary, actually.  I have found the King James Version of the Bible to be true and I believe that when reading the words therein,  in their context,  rightly dividing the words without adding to any of them or removing any of them,  there is the best foundation of truth.  In the study of science and learning that government controlled curriculum in education (indoctrination), I have been taught things that were just flat out lies.  I found Kent Hovind's seminar series and found a lot of solid truths in most of his presentations and looking further into his "ministry" I began to see a pattern of deceit and self absorption which turned me away from supporting him.

How I found CLE:   In searching for other resources that publish less commonly known truths,  I came across some very well written and well sourced articles on CLE. That's how I found the forum link and have only read a few posts, but wanted to engage with others that enjoy learning and sharing what they've learned. 

Now in regards to my religion association, I do not claim myself to be a "Christian" and that might cause some to wonder,  but it's really because I've decided to identify myself,  as the Lord identifies His people, rather than claiming that particular title.  I do not have any ill against those that do identify themselves with the term "Christian." I just do not. 

I do have a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ,  which is a long story which brought me to the place of repentance,  so for the sake of time,  I will boil it down to this: I had come to a place where I so desperately wanted to know God. I was a broken man,  guilty of much sin and unworthy to even approach the Almighty, Most Holy God.For the first time in my life I prayed with no other purpose than to know him and hear his voice.  When I presented myself before him, I was immediately confronted with my sins which I have committed against him and against others.  I knew that what I had done was worthy of punishment and I was so remorseful for how I flippently chose to sin without any concern for how my actions effected others or that they would be judged.  At that moment of brokenness,  being contrite before God,  I remembered the scripture that says "if we confess our sins... he is faithful to forgive us and to cleanse us..." I confessed my sins before him and remembered the event that took place almost 2000 years ago and somehow,  Jesus Christ was able to forgive me through the blood that he shed.  I sought mercy through Jesus Christ and pleaded with the Father to forgive me.  In that moment of faith,  I could feel this heavy darkness being  removed from my soul.  I really can't explain it with words to understand,  but it was as if I was physically and spiritually being changed and at that moment,  his Holy Spirit came into me and drew me to his words.  I knew that he was going to speak to me as I read the words and he did. 

That's the short version of my conversion.  I became born again and have been adopted into his family. 

Well, it's been a long road since then and not without trials.

I do not attend the businesses that have "church" in their name,  neither do I have fellowship with those that do.  My life has become a very lonely one,  as most people that call themselves "Christians" and even those that are in the faith,  are drawn to the congregational gatherings of the businesses where the clean and the unclean find fellowship with many false converts and I've learned that people would rather agree to disagree than to stand corrected when in error. Maybe it's an unrealistic idea to think that one day I'll find other saints that really want to be of one mind and if one judgment in true unity, but at the very least,  I search for those that love the truth and have the words of God as the foundation of their faith,  being willing to reasonably discuss the deeper things in the faith and have real fellowship in Jesus Christ by his Spirit.  I see a much different church in scripture than I see in the world.
