You Better Know I Am “Critical” Toward False Gospels

Galatians 3:1-3, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”

One of my Facebook friends named Ronnie got upset with me today over my article exposing Jack Chick (1924-2016) as a false prophet. Here is my article...

Where Jack Chick Went Wrong On The Gospel

Here is Ronnie's first response:

“Bro David Stewart, those gospel tracts are biblical. Amen.”

Here is my first reply:

No, Chick Tracts are of the Devil. Not one verse in the inspired King James Bible requires surrendering your life to Christ, acknowledging Jesus as your LORD, or repenting of your sins, or even to be willing to repent of your sins, to be saved. Jack Chick (1924-2016) meant well, but he was doctrinally corrupt and off base. 

Over the past 24 years of website ministry, I have received numerous testimonies from frustrated Christians who before they were saved had been misled by Chick Tracts, thinking that God would not save them until they were willing to stop fornicating, stop getting drunk and stop living a lifestyle of sinning. If they had died during that time of ignorance, they would have went to Hell forever because Jack Chick lied to them. 

Jonah 3:10, “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” The Bible calls turning from their evil ways "works." This passage also says that God Himself "repented." So, repentance cannot mean to turn from one's sins because God cannot sin. 

Despite his great art work, Jack Chick was a dangerous false prophet!

Here is Ronnie's second reply:

“Quit being so critical, you will fall into same trap as Steven Anderson.”

Here is my unedited final reply:

Kindly, I didn't want to do it Ronnie, but I have unfriended you. It's the only way that I can silence the foolish critics. If you think I am being "critical" as a Bible preacher to contend for the Christian faith, as the Bible commends the saints to do (Jude 1:3), then you clearly are not right with God.

Furthermore, I seriously doubt if you are saved, since you are wickedly defending Chick Tracts which plainly teach another gospel.

Millions of churchgoers and non-churchgoers alike have been horribly misled by today's senseless incompetent pastors to believe that God won't save them unless they are first willing to forsake a lifestyle of sinning. Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, Marty Herron, Jeff Redlin, Albert Mohler, Charles Stanley, Joel Osteen, Kirk Cameron, Pensacola Christian College, Bob Jones University, Mormons, Roman Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Church of Christ, Reformed Baptists (Calvinists), Neo-Evangelical Baptists, Seventh-Day Adventists—all require a willingness to forsake sinful BEHAVIOR to be saved.

Yet, in all the passages of the inspired King James Bible, I cannot find even one place where anyone was required to turn from their sins, repent of their sins, be willing to turn from their sins, surrender their life to Christ, acknowledge Jesus as LORD, or anything else to get to Heaven other than to simply BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God; and to trust that He died on a cross to pay for our sins, was buried, but three days later resurrected from the dead. This is the only Gospel, nothing else (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).

In Acts 16:30-31 when the Roman jailer asked what he needed to do to be saved, Paul and Silas simply answered: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

In John 6:28-29 when some people asked Jesus what works they needed to do to work the works of God, Jesus answered: "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

Yet, Jack Chick comes along with his own corrupt theology and writes in over one billion Chick Tracts that God will not save you unless you are first "willing to turn from sin," which is nowhere found in the Holy Bible. Shame on you Ronnie for defending false doctrine.
I used to be one of the biggest fans of Jack Chick 30 years ago. I bought Chick Tracts by the boxes to distribute. I bought his sample packs galore because I wanted all of his literature. I bought his comic magazines, the whole shebang!

But after I started my website ministry in 2002, a web visitor contacted me about Chick Tracts. At first I refused to turn on one of my childhood heroes, Jack Chick. I was captivated as a child and teenager by his alluring artwork.

My ministry friend warned me about Jack Chick. I still remember that his name was Herald. He told me that for a period of about five years he wanted to be saved, but after reading Chick Tracts thought that he couldn't be saved without first giving up the sins in his life, which he wasn't willing to do. Herald told me that if he had died, he would be burning in the Lake of Fire forever because Jack Chick LIED TO HIM. And yet you wickedly defend him? Shame on you.

Herald opened my eyes. But at first I was stubborn, like you are being. It literally took six months for me to come around, before I was finally willing to do what needed to be done. I was defensive at first, like you are being now. I made excuses for Jack Chick, but the seed of truth had been planted into my soul. For six months the truth gnawed at my conscience, bothering me day by day what Herald had said.

One day I remembered a sermon that I had heard by Pastor Jack Hyles titled, "The Axe Is Laid To The Root." I decided to just lay the axe to the root and decide once and for all if what Jack Chick is preaching is sound Bible doctrine. I firmly concluded that it is not! I simply cannot justify what Jack Chick is preaching in his cartoon literature with the inspired Word of God. You better believe that I am being "critical" and so should you be doing if you cared.

What we believe ultimately determines where we will spend eternity. Either you must be willing to forsake your sinful behavior to be saved, or you don't have to, but it cannot be both. By falsely accusing me of being "critical" for contending for the faith in defense of a free grace Gospel without works, you are wickedly endorsing multiple plans of salvation. Think about it.

Isaac Anderson Speaks The Truth About His Parents

Proverbs 9:9, “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.”

Pastor Steven and his wife Zsuzsanna Anderson's son Isaac Anderson rightly states:

“God doesn't need people like my Dad. 'Cuz here's the thing, I don't care how many people he's gotten saved, it's not relevant if he is doing the things that he does; he makes the cause of Christ look bad. That's why the bishop must be blameless. It [the Bible] doesn't say, 'Oh well the bishop must be blameless, unless he's really really good at preaching, and reaches a lot of people for God.' No, because the whole point is my Dad (like Nathan the prophet said to David) has given great occasion to the enemies of God to blaspheme. He has given great occasion to the enemies of God. 'Cuz, guess what, why is Jordan [at the Dead Domain YouTube channel] able to make hours of videos trashing my Dad? Well because my dad did horrible stuff. And obviously, I'm sure Fundamentalist Baptists in the New IFB are going to get trashed because of my Dad's actions, just like they got trashed a few years back when Donnie Romero (an Independent Fundamental Baptist pastor) is snorting cocaine and banging hookers, when he's at Church conferences, right? That's a pretty bad look too, but the New IFB if they want to deal with this they need to distance themselves from my Dad, and get as far away from him as possible; and you know, if all [of] them took a stand against abuse, it wouldn't make them look bad. Maybe they'd get a few weeks of bad press for it, but in the end it would it would work out well for them. So yeah, the cause of Christ doesn't need people like my Dad, he's not a good Ambassador for Christ. I don't care how many times he's read his Bible or how articulate he is, he's not a good a Ambassador because he makes us look bad, he makes good Christians look bad.” —Isaac Anderson

Bravo Isaac, you speak the truth! Many Christians are having a difficult time sorting out their feelings concerning Pastor Steven Anderson and his troubled ministry and family issues. But I humbly think his son Isaac nailed it, who understands his father better than anyone. Brother Anderson has brought much reproach upon the name of Jesus Christ because of his hatred of people, bashing of sinners, justifying wife beating, and even calling for the destruction of his own children. This is not the Christian way! I say that with love and compassion.

Isaac also made these statements (with which I concur):

“Jonathan Shelley is a man lacking all integrity.” —Isaac Anderson, a quote from “Episode 10: Isaac Anderson is angry at his father Steven Anderson's abuse!”

“We talked to Jordan [at the Dead Domain YouTube channel] because Jordan was actually willing to listen to us. These people [New IFB] need to quit crying about us talking to Jordan, and ask themselves why they didn’t have anybody who would talk to us. Like really? So, Jordan is (according to them) a degenerate transvestite, reprobate; and apparently still more morally sound than their own pastors. That makes them look bad, if it takes a transvestite to have a better idea of what’s righteous than their own pastor.” —Isaac Anderson, a quote from “Episode 10: Isaac Anderson is angry at his father Steven Anderson’s abuse!”

Dear reader, God is love! It is okay that we should hate sin and evil, but never sinners! God loves people, a concept that has become lost in the vast majority of today's dead churches.

“Receiving from people doesn't make you love them more; giving to people makes you love them more, because you have an investment there.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “How To Love”

“Let emotion in. Let tears in. You're missing life. Let love in! ...America's dying for a lack of love and compassion! And our churches are dying...” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Take The Shield Down”

“You can't love anybody, until you love everybody!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon titled, “The Test Of Spiritual Maturity” 

The mistake the church has made, is we have taught people how to quote Scriptures, we haven't taught people how to love people. We don't love people because of what they do, or don't do; we love them because God loves them, and God cares about them, and He wants us to help win them to the Lord. People just want to be loved. 1st Corinthians 16:24, “My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.”

Don't Mark People Off; Never Give Up On Any Man

Psalms 6:1-10, “O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.”

Don't Mark People Off; 'We Never Give Up On Any Man'
(an excerpt from the 1983 sermon: 'The Blessings Of Sin' by Pastor Jack Hyles)

“Do you know what? Do you know all most backsliders need? All they need is one person who really cares? That's all they need. One person! Somebody said: 'What happened to all these converts here? [They] walk down the aisle and get baptized and they don't stick.' You! You happened to them. I watch you. A fella will get baptized, walk down here, and stand right there like he was in an exile on Patmos. While your yackety, yackety, yackety, yackety with all the members of this church; your little circle. And that poor fella gets no attention at all. And one friend could make the difference in that fella right there! You haven't got time for him, you're too busy yacking with your little circle of friends here at the church. You don't believe in fellowship; I believe in it! Let me tell you something—there's not a sinner that ever got saved, not a backslider ever in sin, but what couldn't be kept and cleaned and sustained, if he had somebody who really cared.” ~Pastor Jack Hyles, “The Blessings Of Sin”

People just want to be loved!

I shared an excerpt from Brother Hyles' sermon at the beginning of this article, but if you'd like to hear the entire sermon, it is called: “The Blessings Of Sin”

“Pharisaism is fundamentalism not compassionate.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “The Blessings Of Sin”

I could literally write a lengthy book around the preceding truthful statement by Brother Hyles. Most Baptist pastors today are ungodly Pharisees! There is so little love and compassion in today's Bible colleges and churches anymore. I'm taking about these shameful places:

• Pensacola Christian College (PCC, a toxic cesspool of Lordship Salvation)
• PCC's Campus Church (Pastor Jeff Redlin, wrong on Bible repentance)
• Bob Jones University (a toxic Calvinist cesspool of iniquity and Lordship Salvation)
• Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (Pastor Marty Herron, BJU alumni, fake Bibles)
• Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam (Pastor Sean Quinlan, an incompetent PCC intern; Lordship Salvation in PCC literature)
• Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola (Pastor Bill Adams; PCC supporters, wrong repentance, unkind toward people, Chick Tracts)
• Fairfield Drive Baptist Church in Pensacola (Pastor Josh Thompson; Lordship Salvation, Josh teaches a class at PCC)
• Family Baptist Church in Pensacola (Pastors' Brad and Bobby Moffett; a toxic place of PCC supporters, wrong repentance, hateful of truth-tellers, unkind toward people)

As you can sadly see, our Bible colleges and churches pastored by their graduates are in shambles today. I am not happy about that. It saddens me as a redeemed child of God. Since the false teachings of Misunderstood Repentance and Lordship Salvation are a perversion of God's grace, they cannot produce the required second birth to enter into God's Kingdom. I cannot help but make the connection between their doctrinal corruption and woeful lack of God's love for people. I humbly think that there is a correlation.

As a faithful pastor for 55 years, Dr. Jack Hyles was a loving and compassionate man and he saw a lot of uncaring and unloving fundamentalist Christians which grieved him. Brother Hyles often expressed his frustration about it. For example:

“If you have one person in this world, one, in or out of your family, who really cares for you; and will care for you when you mistreat them, and will care for you when you cannot give them a thing; if you have one person who cares for you with Bible care, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

Brother Hyles made the preceding statement in a sermon, the day after preaching a funeral for a female church member in her late eighties who had died. Pastor Hyles closely watched as the woman's family and friends in a procession walked by the casket to see how they responded. The great grandkids didn't even bother to look at their great grandmother. Dr. Hyles said afterwards that he was convinced only two of the several dozen people who walked alongside her casket truly cared about her. That is so typical and sad of the perilous times in which we live today. Brother Hyles further stated:

“If you really care about one person, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

“Our trouble is we only love those who appeal to our senses.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

In another sermon I heard Pastor Hyles rightly say:

“I am all for standards, but I am not for standards without love.” —Pastor Jack Hyles

When I heard that statement, I immediately thought about Pensacola Christian College. And also this truthful statement:

“The pastors have destroyed the churches, and they've been trained by people that have never built churches, and they have no compassion.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Many Pastors Have Destroyed My Vineyard”

Brother Hyles well knew that there is a serious lack of love and compassion in today's Bible colleges and churches. Oh, that we would start behaving as Christians again to love one another, even as God loved the world and was willing to die for everyone (Romans 5:6-9).

I encourage you dear reader to listen to Pastor Hyles' life-changing sermon, “The Blessings Of Sin.” In the sermon Brother Hyles talks about divorced men who are often despised and looked down upon in churches, as I was when I attended Campus Church at PCC in 2021. Their senior pastor Jeff Redlin treated me like garbage, ultimately banning me since August of 2022 from attending their church. That is the devil in their pastor, not the love of God's Holy Spirit. I wouldn't give you a dime for the money-hungry religious phonies at PCC.

The demonic Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) religion have an official exclusive strange doctrine called “Investigative Judgment” (which most SDA members are ignorant of). This bizarre teaching says that in the year 1844 Jesus entered into the heavenly Holy Place to begin His work of investigating the saints to determine who is “worthy” to enter into Heaven. Dear reader, NO ONE is “worthy” of God's grace or mercy. NO ONE is “worthy” to enter into Heaven. Kindly said, SDAs are a cult who preach the heresy of Lordship Salvation. If anyone ever goes to Heaven, it will be solely upon the merit of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on Calvary's cross.

If we truly want to be like our dear Creator and Savior, then we ought never give up on any human being. Homosexuals are still human beings created in God's image. Jesus died for even the vilest of people, for wretched sinners like yourself and me. We are all so unworthy of God's love and grace, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1st Corinthians 15:57).

Living A Religious Lifestyle Versus Being A Good Christian

Matthew 15:7-8, “Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

Sadly, ninety-nine percent of people who attend churches today are as phony as can be. They merely go to be part of a social club, fun center or to feel a sense of belonging. They are living a religious lifestyle for their own personal satisfaction. There is no sincere desire to truly obey, serve or please God.

Such is the case of a religious woman who enjoys going to church. She enjoys singing the old hymns. She enjoys the whole church thing. Yet, in her personal life she disobeys her husband at home. In fact, she loves her religious lifestyle so much that she divorced her husband because he refused to go to church with her. It didn't matter to the man's wife that he is suffering in horrible bodily pain all the time and needs to be at home. All that mattered to his defiant wife was what she wanted, with no regard for her husband. She is selfish.

I fully agree with Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) that if a husband tells his wife to stay home from church, she should obey and stay home. The feminist idea that a wife can just do whatever she wants, without her husband's permission, is of the Devil. A wife who abandons and divorces her husband simply doesn't love him and never did. A godly husband or wife would rather die than file for divorce! I know that is not a popular idea, but Jesus said in Matthew 19:8b, “Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.” God hates the sin of divorce!

I know a religious woman who left her Christian husband. She just moved out one day and moved to another city six hours away, without saying a single word to her legal husband. He only found out where she was a month later, when he read their credit union statement. She didn't even bother to tell her husband that she was moving across the state. Can you imagine? That is wicked rebellion ladies!

When her husband scolded her verbally for not asking for his permission to leave home, let alone to move to another city six hours away without saying a word to him, she wickedly replied: “I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION!” Woe unto that ungodly wife when she stands before God in the afterlife to give account. Romans 14:12, “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” When her betrayed husband warned his rebellious wife that she would have to answer to God, she wickedly exclaimed: “That's fine!” What a sinful and ungodly attitude for a wife to have toward her own husband. What saith the Scripture? Ephesians 5:23, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”

Wow, did you get that? A wife is commanded by God to submit (obey) to her own husband AS UNTO THE LORD. How many American women believe and obey this Scriptural truth today? Not many I can assure you dear reader, not many at all. Most women have been corrupted by the evil influence of feminist ideologies. Satan is the author of all rebellion! 1st Samuel 15:23, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.  Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” A defiant wife who disobeys her husband, and makes his life a living hell on earth, is in the same boat as a witch. I didn't say that, God our Creator did.

Kindly said, there are many professed Christian women who are far more religious than Christian in their behavior and words. Our talk talks and our walk talks, but our walk talks louder than our talk talks. Many Christian women today are so enamored with living a religious lifestyle that they sacrifice their marriage on the altar of selfish pride.

Ladies, your marriage is 10,000 times more important than attending a local church. The pastor is not your hubby! Shame on any ungodly wife who elevates her pastor's word and opinion above that of her own lawfully wedded husband. Your pastor has ZERO authority over you dear woman; your husband has 100% authority over you.

When you sass your husband and make demands of him to obey you, or else you will leave and divorce him, you are directly rebelling against God. Rebellious wives who abandon their husband and cause him much grief can expect to receive NO REWARDS in Heaven. The LORD does not reward quitters! Proverbs 31:12, “She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

And if you are the type of rebellious person that is already thinking: “Well what about my husband?” or “What about abusive husbands?,” you are a big part of the problem in this broken society in America. I am so sick and tired of the ungodly naysayers who feel compelled to contest and counter everything that the Bible preacher says.

That being said, I would never defend any form of abuse. In my humble opinion, rebellious wives are ten times more of a problem in homes today than abusive husbands. Many husbands only get angry when their wife disobeys him. And here's something that will ruffle your feathers—God's command for wives to obey their husband is not conditional upon her husband being fair and nice toward her. Unless it is something illegal, immoral or unsafe, a wife is expected by God to submit to her husband. That is biblical truth.

I learned a long time ago that there is a vast difference between living a religious life versus being a good Christian. The way that we treat others matters. You need to understand dear reader that you are not a good Christian just because you attend a local church. You are not a good Christian just because you sing hymns on Sunday. How you treat your spouse reveals how good of a Christian you are. No wife who files for divorce is right with God. I say that kindly with Christ's love, not to be mean, but truthful. Thank you for reading my ministry blog.

Why A Lot Of People Won't Attend Church Anymore

Galatians 6:1-3, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”

I don't find any passage of Scripture which teaches to throw people under the bus, kick them out of their church family, and kill your wounded in a church.

A lot of people won't attend church anymore because they're tired of being kicked out of their church family. No pastor or so-called New Testament "church" should ever have any right to kick you out of your family. The local church is your surrogate family in the Lord.

When you attend a local church for a few years, you form friendships. You make close acquittances. You get to know people, and they get to know you. You are making an investment into that church with your time, your money, your love, your concern, your prayers and your very soul. The Bible says in Luke 12:34, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Your heart follows your investment. When you attend a church for 45 months, you have made an investment with your life.

But then one day, because you said something in a comment on Facebook or other place on social media that offends them, you are told the next time you arrive at church by the pastor that you are no longer welcome. They horribly tell you to leave before they call the police on you, and don't ever come back again. This is how people are being abused by today's ungodly shameful pastors and carnal churches. Why prey tell me, would anyone who has been through such a traumatic negative experience, ever want to attend another church? Only a fool would invest into something risky and uncertain, which they can lose on a whim over something as trifle as a mere comment on social media. Is this communist North Korea?

I have known numerous Christians, including myself and my wife, who have been kicked out of a church on a whim. They didn't even bother to talk with us first at the wicked Family Baptist Church at 5454 W. Mobile Highway in Pensacola, they just kicked me and my wife out of our church family in June of 2025. In some previous churches, I was compelled to leave and then banned afterwards when I tried to go back. Campus Church did that to me at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) in 2022. Today's pastors are horrible, brutish, cold-hearted and woefully lacking in God's love and compassion. I speak to their utter shame. There is no love or compassion at PCC, which complaint I have read from a few dozen of their former students.

“I am all for standards, but I am not for standards without love.” —Pastor Jack Hyles

“The pastors have destroyed the churches, and they've been trained by people that have never built churches, and they have no compassion.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Many Pastors Have Destroyed My Vineyard”

I cannot blame people for not wanting to attend church anymore, when after years of investing your love, time, money, prayers and resources for Christ, their carnal ungodly pastors just kick you out, maliciously taking away your church family, throwing you under bus and leaving you for dead spiritually. I've seen this happen umpteen times to truth-tellers—punished for befriending pastors with the truth of God's Word.

The Apostle Paul experienced this painful situation himself. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” What irony! If there's one place in the cosmos where you should be able to tell THE TRUTH, you'd think it would be a New Testament Bible church. But nope, even people in the churches would rather believe and defend a lie, than to embrace the truth. Go figure.

Kicking someone out of a church is no different than if you were to throw a family member onto the street. People just aren't willing to invest everything they have into a local church anymore, just to have some ungodly jerk for a pastor take it all away from you on a whim. No pastor should have that kind of power, but they do since it is their organization and not the LORD's. Christians today are simply unwilling to invest years of their life into a local church anymore, when today's wicked pastors have absolutely zero loyalty for those who are faithful to God.

The Miserable Atheist

Romans 1:20-21, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

Hebrews 11:24-27, “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.“

The inspired Holy Bible teaches that there is no such thing as a bona fide atheist. Our text passage from Romans 1:20:21 plainly teach that at some early point in life everyone KNOWS that God exists, evidenced by the universe that we can see. The Bible says therefore they are all without excuse. In other words, woe unto the atheist!

One of my hobbies over the years has been to investigate the religious beliefs of famous people. I am curious what they think about God, and His only begotten Son Jesus. When a famous person dies, I am curious if they went to Heaven or Hell. I care about people, which is why I made this blog ministry, to preach the truth of God's Word.

Here is a list of atheist celebrities that I am familiar with:

1. Alex Honnold (free climber)
2. Morgan Freeman (actor)
3. Sarah Silverman (comedian)
4. Warren Buffett (investor)
5. Elon Musk (inventor)
6. Linda Ronstadt (singer)
7. Sir Elton John (singer)
8. Harrison Ford (actor, says nature is God)
9. Geddy Lee (musician)
10. Alex Lifeson (musician)
11. Neal Peart  (musician)
12. Ridley Scott (producer)
13. James Cameron (producer)
14. Gene Wilder (actor)
15. William Shatner (actor)
16. Billy Joel (singer)
17. Britney Spears (singer)
18. George Clooney (actor)
19. Peter Fonda (actor)
20. Kathy Griffin (comedian)
21. Hugh Hefner (creep)
22. Bruce Lee (actor)
23. Larry King (radio and television host)
24. Seth MacFarlane ('Family Guy' creator)
25. John Malkovich (actor)
26. Helen Mirren (actor)
27. Marilyn Monroe (whore)
28. George Clooney (actor)
29. Roman Polanski (rapist)
30. Rob Reiner (actor)

Here is a list of over one hundred atheists in music.

Here is a list of hundreds of atheist celebrities.

I randomly listed 30 avowed atheists. These people that I mentioned (with the exception of Alex Honnold) are all millionaires multiple times over, and a few of them even billionaires. How sad and tragic, to have enjoyed this earthly life to the fullest, just to die in one's sins and spend eternity suffering in Hell, fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8). If God allows suffering in this temporary lifetime, what makes you think that He won't in the next?

It always saddens me as I think about these people. I am familiar with these celebrities from watching them in movies, music and the media. It is truly heartbreaking for me as a born again child of God, to know that all of these people will spend eternity suffering in a burning Hell without Jesus Christ. Psalms 14:1, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.  They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”

Alex Honnold amazes me, not only for his incredible lack of fear of heights, but for his incredible lack of fear of God. How can such an intriguing man, who has free-climbed dozens of mountains without any ropes or safety gear, and has seen things that very few humans will ever see in person, not believe in a Creator? Alex has sat on mountain cliffs thousands of feet above the ground, beholding the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets, seeing beautiful views of nature that photos simply cannot possibly convey, and yet he denies that there is a God? Something is very wrong with that man's soul. The Bible says that at one time Alex KNEW God, but he was unthankful and did not glorify God, and his heart became darkened.

Those Who Deny Jesus' Deity Are Effectively Atheists

There are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people who claim to believe in God, but they deny that Jesus is God. Effectively they are also atheists, because they deny the Son. John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” The inspired Scripture warns in James 2:19 that it is not enough to merely believe in God, because the demons know there is a God, but tremble. You must acknowledge that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten (biological) Son of God, which makes Him also GOD.

This is why ALL of the modern perverted English revisions of the Holy Bible have been tampered with by Satan, to ruthlessly attack the deity of Jesus, and to remove the word "godhead" completely from Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9 (the only three mentions of the word in the King James Bible). The Devil's modern perversions change “godhead” to the “divine nature,” which sounds like new age, and clearly removes the idea of God being three individual persons; and yet one. 1st John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” This passage of Scripture has been butchered in ALL modern English translations, to merely read that there are three in Heaven. See for yourself! Get thee behind me, Satan!

I Thank God For His Blessed Holy Spirit

I pray for God's Holy Spirit to work in people's heart, as my words speak to their mind. Without the Holy Spirit of God, all is in vain. Psalms 127:1, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Zechariah 4:6, “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Jesus said in John 15:5b, “for without me ye can do nothing.” I pray for God to work in the hearts and minds of all my ministry followers.

Every Living Being Knows There Is A God

Every living soul KNOWS that there is a God, and that by His omnipotent power He created the universe (Romans 1:20-21). I cringe as I watch astronomy videos on YouTube, to hear them attributing the origin and workings of the universe to accidental aftermath and cosmic chaos, totally ignoring our brilliant Creator. It is ingratitude and wickedness!!!

I heard some guy today claiming in a video that Mars used to have an atmosphere like earth over 4 billion years ago, but it evaporated away. You've got to be a fool to believe that junk!

I cringe when I read NASA's website, learning how ridiculous and bizarre their official position on the origin of the moon truly is. Read what NASA teaches for yourself:

Earth’s Moon is thought to have formed in a tremendous collision. A massive object ― named Theia after the mythological Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, goddess of the Moon ― smashed into Earth, flinging material into space that became the Moon. SOURCE

I am fully convinced that many of NASA's 18,000 employees believe in God, and some are no doubt born again believers; but the organization's leadership is afraid to go against the world's common consensus that science should be separate from theology. But manmade theology is not God. To throw God under the bus under the guise that theology shouldn't be mixed with science is a Satanic way of thinking. Theology and truth are two different things. Theology is man's interpretation of the Holy Bible. But only a fool would dare try to explain the origin and workings of the universe without acknowledging our divine creator, and to fabricate bizarre science fiction explanations that even a child knows is ridiculous conjecture (guesswork).

And that is from some of the smartest people on the planet. Dummies! That would make a great new episode of The Outer Limits, but the inspired Holy Scripture labels it as “science falsely so called” (1st Timothy 6:20-21). What saith the Scripture? Psalms 8:3, “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.” God made the moon, the planets, the stars, the universe and all therein (John 1:1-3, 14).

To God be the glory, great things He hath done, and will continue to do. Jesus is precious!!!

It Is Rare To Find Somebody Who Really Cares Anymore

2nd Corinthians 7:9-12, “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. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.”

2nd Corinthians 8:16, “But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.”

1st Samuel 24:12, “The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.”

These are remarkable passages of Scriptures. In 2nd Corinthians 7:9-12, the Apostle Paul sharply rebuked the church at Corinthians over numerous problems in their midst. Paul said that he didn't write his letter on behalf of anyone; but rather, to show that he cared. I encourage you to listen to this beautiful sermon from 1987 by Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001), in which you can clearly hear why I love Brother Hyles so much and listen to his wisdom. ...

Who Cares Anyway?
(Pastor Jack Hyles)

Here are some inspiring life changing quotes from the sermons:

“I sometimes wonder if there's any love left.” —Dr. Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

“If you have one person in this world, one, in or out of your family, who really cares for you; and will care for you when you mistreat them, and will care for you when you cannot give them a thing; if you have one person who cares for you with Bible care, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

“If you really care about one person, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

“Our trouble is we only love those who appeal to our senses.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

I admit that I felt convicted yesterday while listening to this sermon. I haven't always turned the other cheek when someone did me wrong, threw me under the bus, or deliberately hurt my feelings. People can be so cruel. Sadly, Christians can be as horrible as the heathen world. I have been deeply hurt and done wrong by numerous ungodly pastors and their wives. It is in our sinful human nature to want to get back at the people who hurt us, to retaliate, to seek revenge. I am just as guilty as you are—as we all are at times.

“Father, please help me to do better from day to day; to emulate your only begotten Son Jesus in my thoughts and behavior.”

I learned a long time ago as a fundamentalist Bible preacher that there's a fine line between faith and foolishness. There's a fine line between preaching what is right and against sin, versus attacking people and making matters personal. Sometimes it gets confusing and become hard to sort through our own feelings.

In fact, since I am a caring person with a tender heart, sometimes I have difficulty discerning between my feelings and my Bible preaching. I tend to feel guilty about many things, from a humble heart. I feel unworthy to eat a nice meal in a restaurant. I feel like God doesn't want to be around a guy like me. I know that those are just feelings, which can be deceptive; not reality. So, I have a troublesome tendency to be too hard on myself, and if I'm not careful I can become down and discouraged easily.

We are taught repeatedly throughout the inspired Scripture that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and that we shouldn't avenge ourselves (Romans 12:19-21). To do that is easier said than done, I know; but God wouldn't command us to do something impossible.

Throughout human civilization people in general have been uncaring and selfish. Things haven't changed in 2,000 years. Philippians 2:20, “For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.” Things haven't changed in 3,000 years. Psalm 142:4, “I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.” In lieu of today's amazing new technologies, selfish human nature hasn't changed over thousands of years.

If you don't care, but want to start caring, then you need to plan time to think about whatever or whoever it is that you want to start caring about. Luke 12:34, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Our human heart follows our treasure. That is, our feelings and love will follow our investments, where we spend out time, money, prayers and resources.

In American society today, people don't invest in each other anymore. We are so busy living our individual lives that we don't care about anybody except ourselves. I speak to the shame of 99% of today's Bible colleges and churches. One man can make a difference! You show me any group or church that cares about people, and I guarantee you that the man in charge cares, and his influence is leading his followers to show love, concern and compassion.

As we draw nearer to the end times Tribulation, I am often reminded of what Jesus said in Matthew 24:12, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” The daily evening news is rife with heinous crimes, government and local corruption, police brutality, public unrest, economic woes, senseless acts of violence and selfishness, war, et cetera. Hardly anybody trusts anybody anymore. The world has always been a wicked and ugly place (1st John 5:19). It is rare to find somebody who really cares anymore.

By God's grace, I want to be a caring person. Since I started my Jesus-is-Savior.com website ministry back in April of 2002, I have never made a single penny. My long time ministry friend Pastor Max D. Younce (1935-2023) mailed me a check for $200 many years ago, but I never cashed it. I kindly mailed it back to him with a 5-page thank you letter. I have had hundreds of kind web visitors over the years offer to give me donations for my labors for Christ, but I have always declined with gratitude. My ministry is a work of love for God, people and truth.

“If you really care about one person, you're above average.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Who Cares Anyway?”

We've all met our share of rotten selfish people in our lifetime. I sure have, many of them pastors. I try not to focus on people, lest I become bitter and discouraged. The Scripture tells us in Hebrews 12:2 to LOOK TO JESUS, who is the Author and Finisher of our Christian faith.

We are all selfish by nature. The Bible tells us that Jesus thought about OTHERS instead of Himself. Philippians 2:3-5, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” If you and I want the mind of Christ, then we need to get out of the self life. We need to start thinking about OTHERS, and how we can help and be a blessing to the people in our life. The Bible tells us as saints to have Christ's mind in us.
