Today Is April 1st - National Atheist's Day!

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.”

Romans 1:20-22, “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. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

I have a classic book in front of me published in the year 1868, titled “GOD IN HISTORY and GOD IN SCIENCE,” authored by London Pastor John Cumming (1807-1881). May I say kindly, there's no such thing as an atheist! Some of the world's wealthiest celebrities have the stench of Hell on them, which is where they are all going, blaspheming the very God Who is kind to them. Luke 6:35b, “...for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”

On page 139 of his book, “GOD IN HISTORY and GOD IN SCIENCE,” Pastor John Cumming makes a brilliant observation concerning professed atheists...

Atheism is folly as much as wickedness. But suffer me, before I show this, to say, that it is absolutely impossible that any man can be an atheist, in the strict sense of that word. All that any can say is this: “No spot that I have searched does reveal a God; every organization I have examined does not show traces of wisdom, goodness, and design:” but that individual cannot say; “There is no God;” because he cannot say, “I have soared to the farthest star, I have descended to the deepest mines, I have swept all space, and searched all time, and in the realms of infinite space I have not detected any traces of a God.” In other words, to be able to say, “There is no God,” you must yourself assume to be God, which is a reductio ad absurdum, an utter and a complete absurdity.

What a brilliant observation! How can any man claim to be an atheist unless he has traveled to the farthest place in the universe? The nearest star to the earth (after our own sun) is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.37 light-years away (25,000,000,000,000 miles away!). This is just one star, being the closest to earth besides our own sun which is 93,000,000,000 miles away. The empty space in between the stars is astoundingly cold, at -454° F (absolute zero is -459.6° F). The reason why empty space is so cold is simply because it contains no matter, no air, no energy, no anything.

The Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990 had previously discovered 200,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe, but the new James Webb Space Telescope launched on Christmas Day in 2021 (10 years overdue) has so far discovered an amazing 2,000,000,000,000 galaxies (two trillion). Not just stars, galaxies!!! And each of those galaxies contains HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of stars! Astronomers now confirm that there are approximately TWO TRILLION galaxies!

I greatly anticipate the next generation of telescopes using Artificial Intelligence. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to follow the James Webb Space Telescope as the next major astronomical observatory. Its NASA launch day is set for May of 2027. It will focus on exploring dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets, among other cosmic phenomena. Truly, God is more than amazing!!! Psalms 145:3, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.”

The inspired Word of God teaches that God made the stars. I love how Genesis 1:16b is written... “HE MADE THE STARS ALSO.” It's like the Bible is saying, “Oh, by the way, God also made all the stars!” Genesis 1:16, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” God is amazing, Who knows the exact number of stars that He created? Yet, God calls each star by their own name. Amen!

Do you know that it would take 31,709 years just to count to one trillion (if you could count one number per second, which no one can do)? Realistically, it would take someone at least 200,000 years to count out loud to one trillion, because expressing a number like (say for example) 345,683,484,693 would require several seconds. And yet the Bible says that God CALLS all of the stars by their name. Psalms 147:4, “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” That is true omnipotence! Psalms 145:3, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.” Who am I that a King should bleed and die for?

Legendary singer Billy Joel is a professed atheist...

“I gradually decided that just because I didn't have or couldn't find the ultimate answer didn't mean I was going to buy the religious fairytale. As an atheist you have to rationalize things.” —Singer Billy Joel

The Bible says the eternally damned think that the preaching of the cross of Christ is foolishness. 1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the preaching of the cross is TO THEM THAT PERISH foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

"The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it." —Robert Ingersoll

"Christianity is such a silly religion." —Gore Vidal 

The Bible says the unregenerate man thinks that the things of God (including His inspired Words) are foolishness. The atheist can't even begin to understand the things of God. 1st Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

"...It would be more consistent that we call [the Bible] the work of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind." —Thomas Paine

The Bible says the wicked call evil good and good evil. All woe unto them if they don't get right with Jesus. Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

"Christians are losers." —Ted Turner

The Bible says the unregenerate man thinks Christians are crazy because they don't do the same wicked things he does, and they don't hold the same wicked opinions that he does. 1st Peter 4:3-4, “For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.”

"If we would destroy the Christian religion, we must first of all destroy man's belief in the Bible." —Voltaire

The Bible says the Bible will remain forever. The words of some sinful man will never negate what God has said. Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words SHALL NOT pass away.”

Dear reader, if you are a scoffer or an atheist you have NOT defeated the word of God with your big words and ideas, you have condemned yourself! Repent while you still have the hope of eternal redemption, or you will indeed perish. When you die, it will be everlastingly too late. The wrath of God is hanging over your head like a storm cloud. It's when you lay down, when you wake up, when you are working, having lunch with friends, going on a trip—everywhere you go—that God's wrath is upon your head (Psalm 7:11). John 3:36, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

April 1st is “APRIL FOOL'S DAY” in America, which is appropriately fitting for an atheist. 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.” Nobody hates God as much as the atheist who denies that He exists! According to our text Scripture passage from Romans 1:20-22, there is no such thing as an atheist, only ungrateful sinners who refuse to acknowledge or glorify their faithful Creator. 2nd Timothy 2:13, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”

Pensacola Christian College Has Sadly Become More Secular Than Christian

Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

I cannot warn parents enough about Pensacola Christian College (PCC). On the surface they profess to be Christians who love God, but as someone who was kicked out and banned from their Campus Church since 2022, I can testify that there is no love in PCC's leadership.

I subscribe to the apostate Sword of the Lord bi-monthly newspaper. Sadly, in recent years the Sword of the Lord publication has become a pimp for PCC's spiritual whoredom. I say that kindly but truthfully. On page 4 of the latest Sword paper (March 20, 2026 - Vol. XCII, No. 06), there appears an advertisement for Mechanical Engineering at PCC college. 

Whatever happened to full time Christian service? Evidently student enrollment has dropped significantly and the college is looking for new ways to draw in more money.

PCC Preaches Four Different Plans Of Salvation

I was sickening in my soul as I discovered that the college and their Campus Church actually promote multiple different conflicting plans of salvation. I have dealt with PCC's leaders and they are cocky, stubborn, and arrogant, to say the least. I sincerely tried to reconcile with their leadership in 2022, but they are so hard hearted and distant from God that all they care about is making money and protecting the name of their institution. PCC are foolish.

While the world is going to Hell without the Gospel, PCC are recruiting engineers for the next generation. That is their stupid motto: “Invest in the Next Generation of Engineers.” Many parents send their children to PCC because of their fascist style strict rules, but rules without love only begets hatred and resentment.

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

Dr. Hyles practically gives the address of PCC...

“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 can testify firsthand about the woeful lack of Christian love, compassion or concern at PCC. Pastor Jeff Redlin treated me like garbage. I even told him so. Do you know what that ungodly incompetent fool said to me? He said, “That's your global view.” In other words, he was insulting me, accusing me of feeling of feeling like garbage because that's what I think about myself. The truth is that Mr. Redlin is an abusive person, a cold hearted devil, who never should have been hired to be the senior pastor of Campus Church. What is wrong with PCC?

Dr. Redlin woefully lacks God's unconditional love for sinners. If he were right with God he would have gladly welcomed me at Campus Church as a divorced man, but instead he wickedly berated and mistreated me as a newcomer, sanctioned by abusive PCC leadership. He did make me feel like garbage, because that is the kind of abusive jerk Redlin is. Sadly, PCC is a religious cult! Their institution represents everything that is wrong with Christendom today in America. While the world is going to Hell, PCC are merely playing church for filthy lucre's sake. Their mask cannot hide their true hatred, phoniness and lack of love for people.

We don't need a new generation of indoctrinated religious engineers who woefully lack God's love for people. And if you are a student at PCC, just fail to dot your i's or cross your t's and you'll find out quickly how much they truly love you a PCC. They'll throw you under the bus in a second and leave you for dead, even if it means wasting years of college credits when they expel you. In the disturbing truthful words of one of their own students at PCC: “In my opinion they produce more people who love rules than people who love God and understand His grace and what an obedient relationship with Him is like.” I concur! That place is a disgrace!

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was so right, PCC are not church builders, they are educators, so they woefully lack God's genuine love for hurting sinners. At PCC they just kick anyone out the door who doesn't meet their manmade hypocritical Pharisaical standards. Touch not, taste not, handle not, but there is no love. There is no understanding. I couldn't believe how empty of love, understanding and compassion their pastoral staff was when I attended Campus Church in 2021. Tragically, PCC leaders couldn't care less, having huge egos! God will deal harshly with them, for the wicked way they have sued their own students, threatened others and treat so many people like garbage. That's not my global view, that's a fact!

Pensacola Christian College is a dunghill!

God Uses Morons

1st Corinthians 1:25-29, “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 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.”

The phrase “foolish things” from our text passage of Scripture is translated from one Greek word, moros, which is where our English word “moron” comes from. Literally, God uses morons! God uses blockheads and the absurd!

God hath chosen the “weak things,” which phrase comes from the Greek word asthenes, which means “strengthless.”

God hath chosen the “base things,” which means “strengthless.”

God uses things that are “despised.” The word “despised” comes from the Greek word exoutheneo, which means “to set at nought; out of nobodies.”

God uses things which “are not,” which phrase comes from the Greek word, which means ”shunned, overlooked.” God uses the shunned ones. God uses bad people!

“God may allow sometimes evil to bring about good, but God never purposes anybody to do wrong to do something that's right. He never does at all. It never is the purpose of God to do wrong. Never!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

“You'll never be happy; never, never, never, never, never be happy 'til you find the will of God and the purpose for your life and get there and stay there.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

“God uses morons.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

“You know, when God had changed our nation and had sent great revival in our nation, He never has taken a man out of seminary to do it. Never has.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

“Billy Sunday, never went to school. Billy Sunday was never ordained. Do you know why? He flunked the ordination test.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

“God uses little people . . . God uses the nobodies.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

“God doesn't need beautiful girls, He needs dedicated girls.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “God Uses Only Bad People”

Amen and amen! I thank God that the LORD uses nobodies like me. I have been shunned by church after church for just TELLING THE TRUTH. Of the last six churches that I've attended, I was kicked out of three of them and banned from returning; namely, Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College and Family Baptist Church in Pensacola.

At Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola, Pastor Bill Adams and his wicked spoiled brat for a wife deliberately mistreated me in 2024, so that I would leave and never return. They are living large, in the ministry only for the INCOME not the OUTCOME. Woe unto Bill and Adams and his ungodly hateful feminist wife.

At the shameful Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam, their incompetent pastor Sean Quinan in 2018 (a PCC intern missionary pastor), rebuked me sharply (in front of several of his church members) for telling a friend in a private conversation that “Bob Jones University sells corruptible seed” (i.e., the Devil's modern Bible perversions). Pastor Quinlan got angry! He admitted having eavesdropped on my personal conversations over the past several months, and said: “You are obsessed with the Bible issue!” Dear reader, you had better believe that I am obsessed over the Bible issue! ...

“Now you say, 'Brother Hyles, you make an issue.' You dead sure better know I'll make an issue!” —BATTLE OF THE AGES (MP3, Dr. Jack Hyles, “The King James Bible crowd is going to come out on top!”)

This world is going to Hell today because God's children are hiding their light under a bushel. God needs volunteers. God needs voices! Ezekiel 22:30, “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” God can make use of anybody if you are yielded to Him. Jesus never turned anyone away empty-handed except those who came full of themselves! Dear saint of God, Get out of the SELF LIFE!

Our generation is so characterless. Talent seeks attention; Wisdom pays attention. If you want to be used of God, simply submit whatever you have to Him. Samson was a crooked stick, but God used him because Samson yielded himself.

Moses argued with the LORD, saying that he was the wrong guy or the job to deliver the Hebrews out of bondage in Egypt. Moses told God that was not eloquent in speech and slow of tongue (Exodus 4:10). God told Moses that his brother Aaron would speak for him instead. Moses continued to make excuses, so that God became angry with Moses (Exodus 4:13-16). God refused to take “no” for an answer from Moses. God told Moses that He would use the stick (a humble rod) in Moses' hand to work all His mighty miracles. With Moses's rod the LORD brought the 10 plagues upon the Egyptians. With Moses' rod God parted the Red Sea to deliver the Hebrews from imminent death at the hand of Egyptian soldiers. With Moses rod God brought forth water from the rock in the Wilderness. Little is much when God is in it!

God uses the little people for His purpose and glory. He uses and blesses morons, idiots and ignoramuses. God makes use of former prison convicts. I don't care how much of a total loser you may be dear friend, God wants to make use of whatever you have (or don't have) to serve Him. No one will ever be truly happy in life until they find God's will and purpose for their life, and they get and stay there. God hath chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He uses base things, despised things, the poor, maimed, weak and the down and out folks. Proverbs 23:26, “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.” Thank you for reading my ministry blog.

I Oftentimes Disagree With God

Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Isaiah 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

I heard a tremendous life changing sermon today by my hero of the Christian faith, Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). The sermon is titled: “You Can't Reason With God.” In the sermon Brother Hyles is pleasantly transparent, sharing the many places in the inspired Holy Bible where he disagrees with God. Pastor Hyles said he disagrees with God in the following Bible matters:

1. Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of salt for just looking back
2. Achan's entire family being killed for his sin
3. God killing Ananias and Sapphira for lying about a financial matter
4. God allowing Satan to afflict Job to ruin his life and kill their 10 children
5. Rahab (a dirty harlot) being mentioned in Hebrews 11
6. God calling David “a man after God's own heart” after what he did to destroy Uriah
7. God choosing to use 3 murderers (Moses, David & Paul) to write 4/11th's of the Bible
8. God using Peter to preach on Pentecost after denying Jesus and curing His name

I so often share Brother Hyles' frustration, feeling that our great God is sometimes unfair. Job said that if any man contend with God he won't win even one in a thousand debates. Job 9:3, “If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.” Who can argue with omnipotence, omniscience, omnisapience and omnipotence? And yet our wonderful Creator lovingly invites every living human being in Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” What a terrific God!

I humbly don't think it was fair in the Bible that God allowed Jacob's beloved wife Rachel to die while giving birth to Benjamin.

I humbly don't think it was fair for God to kill Uzzah for just trying to steady the wobbling Ark of the Covenant. Uzzah had nothing but good and pure intentions.

I humbly don't think it was fair when God told the prophet Hosea to go marry a known harlot, Gomer, and then she abandoned him to run off in adultery with her many wicked lovers.

I humbly disagree with God for allowing David to live after ruthlessly murdering Uriah and stealing his beautiful wife Bathsheba, and then David got to keep and enjoy her for the rest of his life, while Uriah was dead. And yet God killed Uzzah for just touching the Ark. That seems so hypocritical, wrong and unfair to me, and I'm sure it does to you also. But like Brother Hyles wisely said, pointing to Isaiah 55:8-9, God's thoughts and ways are ABOVE ours. God sees things that we cannot see. God knows the full story!

The father of Tyler Simmons (a U.S. soldier killed in the Iran war) expressed deep sorrow and shared memories of his only son, describing him as someone who “had a magnetic personality” and could “illuminate” a room. Tyler's Dad last spoke to him just the day before his tragic death, which has left him with profound grief and questions about the war. When I saw Tyler's Dad break down in tears on NBC News, mentioning that he will now never be a grandfather, I wept with him with a broken heart. Life is a veil of tears!

Pastor Hyles made this encouraging statement...

“I accept the fact that I and God do not always agree. I accept it. I'm not going to stand here this morning and say I'm such a spiritual giant that I just immediately trust God. I do not immediately say to God, 'You know what you're doing.' Sometimes I say to God, 'I wonder if you do know what you're doing.' because [of a] little exercise that I go through. And by the way I go through this every week, and sometimes every day.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “You Can't Reason With God”

Pastor Hyles said that whenever he doubts God, he goes through the following mental exercise regularly to help him:

1. I accept the fact that I and God don't always agree.
2. I flee to Isaiah 55:8-9 [God's thoughts and ways are above our thoughts and ways, “as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9)].
3. I conclude that God who knows all is right. Proverbs 16:20b, “... and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.”

I decided decades ago that I refused to place God on trial every time something goes wrong in my life. The heathen world continually puts God on trial. No Sir, I wont do it! I echo with Job in Job 13:15, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.” Life often doesn't make any sense.

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” —Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

I humbly admit there are many things about God that I just cannot understand. For example: We know that all babies go to Heaven. God is a just God who would never allow the innocent to perish into Hell. Yet, the Bible also teaches in Luke 13:23-24 that only a “few” people will go to Heaven. So then, isn't abortion a wonderful blessing? All of those billions of aborted babies worldwide since the early 1970's are in Heaven! That truth will mess with your mind. We know that murder is a sin (Exodus 20:13). So, abortion should be made illegal.

We read in 1st Corinthians 2:16, “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” Some things of God can be made known to His redeemed saints. We know because of Adam's sin that there is a curse upon the earth for man's sake. Hard work is a blessing from God which keeps a man out of trouble. Lamentations 3:27, “It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.”

That's one of the major things wrong with our nation's youth today, they have too much time on their hands to get into much trouble. I remember there used to be the Washburn Trade School in Chicago for young men, which was a great thing, but due to all the greedy lawyers, politics and selfish adults the school closed their doors in the 1990's forever. Sadly, cities and towns across America today refuse to invest in our youth, who are tomorrow's leaders. NASA spends billions on space exploration. Americans spend trillions on entertainment, sports, pets and vacations; meanwhile our teenagers run the streets in gangs committing crimes, the homeless are ignored and society just becomes worse and worse. When U.S. President Donald Trump leaves office in 2028, the rich will be fattened but the poor will still be poor.

I don't blame God for the mess that this insane world is in today. Ecclesiastes 7:29, “Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.” Man himself is to blame for the world's problems.

Ladies and gentlemen, we serve an awesome God! Micah 7:18, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?  he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” I THANK GOD for the gift of His dear only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who died in my place on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago, so that by faith alone in Christ alone without works my sins could be washed away and I could be given eternal life for free. What a great Savior!!!

Ecclesiastes 12:10, “The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.”

The Accursed Hellbound Roman Catholic Religion

Mark 7:6-9, “He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”

Kindly said, there is not a more damnable false religion and cult on the planet than Roman Catholicism, whose Satanic organization is located in Rome, Italy. That also includes the Russian Orthodox Catholic religion, whose headquarters is located in Moscow, Russia, but that is for a different article. In this blog I am going to expose the spiritual whore of Roman Catholicism. Satan is a beautiful liar!

The following article titled: “How To Get To Heaven” exists on the Catholic Answers website...

Question:
How do you get to heaven according to the Catholic Church?

Answer:
In short, the Catholic Church teaches that salvation is a gift from God, and the normative way we receive that gift is through the seven sacraments, beginning with baptism (see the Catechism 1113ff.). Sacraments are sensible signs Jesus Christ instituted to confer grace, i.e., divine life (CCC 1131; 1114-16). The sacraments are made possible, first of all, by God’s becoming man in Jesus, and their saving effectiveness is derived from Jesus’ one paschal sacrifice, i.e., his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension (CCC 613, 1085).

Jesus established the Catholic Church as his instrument of salvation through which the faithful are able to receive the sacraments. As a consequence, the Church also teaches that because of God’s saving plan, there is no salvation without the Church Jesus established, and that salvation can include non-Catholics (CCC 846-48).

The Church also teaches that we must freely accept the gift of salvation and persevere in it, for, as St. James teaches, justification is by faith and works and not by faith alone (CCC 162, 1814-16; see also 1854-64). SOURCE

Here is my needful biblical response to the preceding damnable heresy:

1. Catholics falsely teach: “In short, the Catholic Church teaches that salvation is a gift from God, and the normative way we receive that gift is through the seven sacraments, beginning with baptism.” This is FALSE! How can salvation be a “gift” when you have to partake of Seven Sacraments to get it? That is a reward, not a gift! It's an exchange, a trade, but it cannot be a gift if you must do anything other than accept it. Furthermore, where does the Bible teach that partaking of sacraments is the “normative way we receive the gift”? No such false teaching is found in the inspired Word of God. Catholics are liars!
2. Catholics falsely teach: “The sacraments are made possible, first of all, by God’s becoming man in Jesus, and their saving effectiveness is derived from Jesus’ one paschal sacrifice, i.e., his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension.” Again, where does Scripture teach this junk? It doesn't. The word “sacrament” doesn't even appear in the Holy Bible.
3. Catholics falsely teach: “Jesus established the Catholic Church as his instrument of salvation through which the faithful are able to receive the sacraments. As a consequence, the Church also teaches that because of God’s saving plan, there is no salvation without the Church Jesus established.” Nowhere does the Bible sanction the demonic Catholic church with their idolatry and Mary worship, removal of God's Second Commandment, idolization of priests, Baptismal Regeneration heresy, Sacramental Salvation, et cetera. Salvation has never been found  through the Church; but rather, through faith in Jesus Christ alone (John 6:47).
4. Catholics falsely teach: “The Church also teaches that we must freely accept the gift of salvation and persevere in it, for, as St. James teaches, justification is by faith and works and not by faith alone.” There is nothing in the inspired Holy Bible about persevering in works to get salvation. The Apostle James plainly wrote in James 2:10 that breaking even one of God's commandments makes a sinner guilty of violating ALL of them. Even one sin is enough to send a man to Hell, to burn forever! That is why we all need God's imputed righteousness, which comes only through faith in Jesus (Philippians 3:9). James was NOT teaching works for salvation, God forbid. In Roman the Apostle Paul teaches about being justified in the sight of God by faith (Romans 4:1-7); whereas in the Epistle of James the Apostle James speaks about being justified in the eyes of mankind by works. Scripture is very clear that salvation is without works (Romans 3:19-20, 4:4-5, 10:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).

It couldn't be more plain to see that the so-called “Roman Catholic church” is a Satanic cult whose god is of the Devil, For doctrines they flagrantly teach the commandments of men, not God's inspired Word. And yet, arrogant Catholics will debate and argue their false religion with a total lack of rationale nor regard for God's inspired Word. Look how Catholics have removed the second of God's commandments not to bow down to statues and graven images. Catholics are deliberately wearing horse blinders! They only see what they want to see.

Please RUN away from the prisonhouse of Roman Catholicism!

A Christian Marriage

Ephesians 5:28-33, “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”

If husbands and wives would simply follow the inspired Word of God in regards to how we treat one another, we could all have peaceful marriages and there wouldn't be any more divorces. I am thankful that God pointedly tells us in the Scripture exactly what he expects from husbands and wives. In our text passage of inspired Scripture, Christian men are exhorted to “love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.” This is a remarkable truth! When I am good to my wife, I am being good to myself, for we are one in God's sight.

A godly husband and wife should cooperate with each other, meeting one another's needs, helping one another, “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” (Ephesians 5:21). When spouses become selfish and proud, then problems start.

A husband and wife should read (or listen to) the inspired King James Bible and listen to Bible preaching daily, and then share with each other the truths that you've learned. ...

Colossians 3:16-19, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.”

Wives and husband should teach each other. That is what we just read in God's Word. We should counsel and warn each other. My wife Alice and I love sharing Bible truths with each other as we learn new things. The Bible says to “have grace in your hearts,” which is the opposite of selfish pride. Remember, as God's saints we grow in grace, not in strength (2nd Peter 3:18). The LORD is our strength! Psalms 18:1, “I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.” What a beautiful Bible truth!

Please notice Scripturally that wives are commanded by the LORD to reverence her own husband. Ephesians 5:33b, “and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” To “reverence” one's husband means “feeling or showing profound respect.” We don't see much wifely reverence for husbands in today's rotten American feminist influenced culture. In fact, we see the exact opposite from women, who wickedly tear down their husbands, belittle his manhood and treat him like an enemy. Feminism is of the Devil.

The inspired Word of God speaks much of hating or loving one's self. ...

Proverbs 8:36, “But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.”

Proverbs 11:17, “The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.”

Proverbs 19:8, “He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.”

Proverbs 29:24, “Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.”

The godly husband who properly treats his own wife with respect, fairness, love and understanding is loving himself. An abusive husband (both physically and emotionally) abuses himself, destroying his own marriage. I regularly do the dishes in our home. I cook meals often. This week I made a special recipe for my wife, Puerto Rican Chicken Fricassee Stew, which she loved. Her Mom was from Kentucky, her step dad was from Puerto Rico. So she grew up around the Puerto Rican culture. I surprised her with this recipe to make her happy, because I love my wife and therefore want to have a servant's heart. Matthew 23:11, “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.”

The Bible teaches that a backslider follows HIS OWN WAYS; but a good (godly) man lives to please God rather than his own selfish whims (cf., Ecclesiastes 12:13). ...

Proverbs 14:14, “The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.”

The only reason why there are divorces is because of sinful pride. Proverbs 13:10, “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.” And 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.” Anyone can live with anybody if you can learn to be a nobody. Galatians 6:3, “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” We were all wonderfully made by God from the dust of the earth. Isaiah 64:8, “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”

A happy marriage is two people making a life for each other. A Christian marriage is two people never giving up on each other, just like God NEVER gives up on His own. Hebrews 13:5-6, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”

By God's grace, you can be anyone you choose to be. If you've been mean toward your spouse, you CAN start being nice simply by trying. We all fail and fail and fail at pleasing God, but all the LORD expects is that we keep trying with His grace. Remember, the Christian life is lived the same way we were saved, which is BY FAITH (Galatians 2:20-21).

Just Hang In Their Faithful To God

Dear reader, when we tough it out and hang in there staying married, even when our spouse is not cooperating and refuses to obey God, we are being faithful to God.

I heard a tremendous sermon this week by Pastor Steven Anderson titled: “Four Dangers Of Servant Leadership.” Don't let the title fool you, there are some great marriage truths in this sermon. For example: Brother Anderson emphasizes the truth that a wife is commanded by God to obey her husband, even if he is a total jerk. And a husband is commanded by God to love and not be bitter against his wife, even if she is rebellious. Ouch! How many married couples follow these Bible teachings? Sadly, not many. Oh, how we need a revival in our marriages. God hates divorce!

I listened to another edifying sermon this morning by Brother Anderson...

“Everybody that I have ever known has had marriage problems. I've had marriage problems. You've had marriage problems. It's just life. That's just life. It's just part of being married. If staying married were easy everybody'd be doing it! Where do you think all this divorce is coming from? Is it coming because marriage is always easy? No, it's because there are gonna be those low points. There are gonna be those trials and tribulations. And there are gonna be those times where your tempted to just quit, and just say: 'That's it, I'm leaving!' and 'She can leave!' and 'I'm out!' and 'She's out!' and 'He can leave!' and all this garbage. Hey, look my friend, it's 'til death do us part.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Enlargement And Deliverance” (March 15, 2026)

“Now you say, well, my marriage has been bad for years and it's just still bad, and it's been bad for 10 years, 15 years. Okay, well here's the thing, I understand. I'm not going to give you a pie in the sky that your marriage is always going to be fixed, because you know what, sadly, that's a reality. Sometimes you are married for 10, 15, 20 years, and it's just bad, and then it's more bad, and more, and you try to do the right things, and it's just bad because it's the other person's fault. That's out there! So, I'm not always gonna say that it's your fault. You can do all the right things and the other person is just not wanting to play ball, and they just never get onboard, and they're just never going to be right with God. You know, a husband that's just never going to love you as Christ loved the Church; a wife that's just never going to submit unto you and obey you and honor you and respect you. Hey, I get it that that exists. But do you know what what I would say? I would say, continue to be faithful to your spouse. Continue to love your wife that doesn't respect you. Continue to submit to your husband that doesn't love you. Continue to do what God has told you to do, and even if He never fixes your marriage, He will enlarge you in other ways.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Enlargement And Deliverance”

I am not a Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon fan, because he was a 2-point Calvinist. Spurgeon taught the Calvinist heresies of Limited Atonement (Jesus only died for the saints) and the Perseverance Of The Saints (a saint must persevere in holiness to get to Heaven). That being said, I fully agree with Pastor Spurgeon in the following quote about marriage...

“Where there is a lack of this mutual affection, it does not deserve the name of marriage. The pain and anguish of such a relationship would be a heavy load for either heart to bear; but where there is true and genuine love; it is the sweetest and happiest mode of living. It is one of the blessings of paradise, which has been preserved for us after the fall. Without love, wedded life must be like experiencing some of the very pains of hell on earth.” SOURCE

Pastor Surgeon preached that sermon in 1867, which was 159 years ago as of 2026. God's saints had marriage problems back then just like today, and throughout human civilization.

In Genesis chapter 27 in the Old Testament, we have the biography of a dysfunctional family. Rebekah was manipulative. She convinced their son Jacob to deceive his father Isaac, and to defraud his brother Esau out of his inheritance blessings. Isaac was stubborn and refused to obey God, who had commanded before their son's were born that the elder would serve the younger. Jacob was a Mama's boy who stayed in the kitchen, while Esau was masculine and a skilled hunter who provided meat for the family. Jacob was a cheat, dishonest, a liar and conniver. He took advantage of his brother Esau. When his father's eyesight had failed so that he could no longer hardly see, Jacob wickedly tricked him. Jacob's very name means a “trickster.” God has given us this family's tragic story to give us comfort and hope that everything will work out together for good in the end for God's redeemed saints (Romans 8:28; 15:4). I appreciate that God has given us a privileged look into this dysfunctional family. Every family has dirty laundry!

We Must All Answer To God In Eternity

In any marriage you are uniting two sinners. Sadly, some married individuals intentionally provoke their spouse to anger by deliberately mistreating them, hoping they'll file for divorce so they can blame their spouse for quitting the marriage and claim to be a victim of divorce, when God fully sees that they waned it to happen at the hands of the other spouse. Dear reader, there is nothing hidden from the eyes of God, “but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Hebrews 4:13b). See also Proverbs 24:12.

When you try and fail at being a better spouse, just get back up and try again. Every day is a new day! Proverbs 24:16, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” The wicked person doesn't even try to please God, they deliberately live in open sin. That is why lost sinners won't come to Jesus to be saved, lest their evil deeds be reprimanded by the indwelling Holy Spirit (John 3:20, 5:40). Evildoers don't want the Holy Spirit in them, which is why the refuse to come to the light of the truth to be saved. Their love for sin hinders them from getting saved,

That being said, you don't have to forsake your sinning to be saved, nor even be willing to forsake your sins (because that would be works). You do however need to acknowledge that you're a guilty sinner (Romans 3:19-20). Why is this so? It is simply because you need to know what you're being saved from, which is sin; and why you need to be saved, which is because the penalty of sin is to burn in the tormentuous never-ending fires of Hell day and night without hope or rest forever (Revelation 14:11, 20:11-15, 21:8). Please don't go to Hell.

Jesus doesn't require that you give up your sinning to be saved; but rather, Christ died on a cross 2,000 years ago to save you from your sins. Matthew 1:21, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Salvation is not a matter of what you can do for Christ; it is a matter of what Christ has done for you. The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.

Let God be the strength of your marriage dear reader and you'll make it. Psalms 18:1, “I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.” Thank you for reading my ministry blog friend. To our faithful God alone be all the praise, credit and glory. Jesus is precious!!!

I Was Abused At Cedars-Sinai Hospital In Los Angeles

Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”

Genesis 18:21, “I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.”

When I went for my first neck surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in June of 2009, the nurses had about 40 probes connected to me before the surgery. I had asked the hospital what would be done with my wallet during the surgery and the woman the day before casually told me they'd just put it in a safe, no big deal. But what she didn't tell me was that a thug security guard would rifle through my wallet without even asking for my permission. My wife has never gone through my wallet because out of respect she feels funny doing so. I am glad I have a considerate wife. Yet, that creepy guard at Cedars-Sinai Hospital had no respect for me as a human being. Clearly he does not know God.

I laid there in a hospital bed with wires connected to my body monotiling my vitals. I was worried about my surgery just minutes away, and I felt helpless as I watched the guard remove every item from my wallet, writing the contents down on a sheet of paper. I felt like I was being raped in my hospital bed. I know why I remained silent as he violated my person, because I was being prepared for surgery and it seemed so much more important than my feelings at the time. I felt scared and overwhelmed. I didn't want to end up paralyzed if something went wrong.

Oh, how I regret staying quiet that day! I wish to God I had kindly told the guard that if he needed to go through my wallet, I would have cancelled the surgery until another day. I would have firmly told that abusive guard, “Excuse me, you are NOT going through my wallet!”

But the rotten ungodly guard did go through my wallet without my consent, examining everything (dozens of items) in my wallet, item by item, writing it all down (no doubt so I couldn't come back later and accuse the hospital of stealing my stuff). I have so often been angry at myself for letting that inconsiderate guard violate my privacy, when I should have kindly told him that there's no way in Heaven or Hell he is going into my wallet.

I was abused, violated and mistreated at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles in 2009. I pray for God to avenge me of the years of suffering, grief and pain of soul that guard caused me that day. It's a painful memory that I've had a hard time shaking off to forget. My only consolation is that he is likely a child of the Devil, which explains his abusive Satanic nature; but I am a child of the King, my Lord Jesus.

After my surgery, due to the mental trauma I experienced that morning, the nurse said that my heart was racing 200 mph during the surgery and they had to slow it down to save my life. I was so overwhelmed that I remained silent. I should have told the nurses that their security guard just raped me before my surgery. NO ONE has ever gone through my personal wallet, not even my wife, except that POS rent-a-cop.

I humbly believe that God will some day avenge us of even deeply hurt feelings (Matthew 12:36; Proverbs 24:12). Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” I want everyone who has ever hurt my feelings to be held accountable by God in my presence, and for those whose feelings I have hurt likewise I want to apologize to them (if I haven't already).

If I were the LORD I sure would avenge my children of hurt feelings, and I'm just a guilty sinner, but God is perfect an holy and omniscient. I want those mean people held accountable for what they caused, even if that guard thought he was just doing his job. To be ethical, he should have asked me first for my consent, to be sensitive and show some humanity. God gave me a big heart as a fundamentalist Baptist preacher, but the flip-side of having a large heart is that I very easily get my feelings deeply wounded. It doesn't take much. I don't give it out (i.e., Smart Alec comments), because I admittedly don't take such gesturing well.

This is one of many painful situations in my life where I regret not speaking up. It would have made all the difference in my world, if I had simply defended my own honor that day as a human being. Instead, I reluctantly allowed that guard to violate my privacy by not speaking up. I was overwhelmed concerning the major neck surgery just moments away. People can be so abusive and cruel without even realized it, but I firmly believe that the guard knew exactly what he was doing that day, being a heartless inconsiderate abusive thug!

Regarding that horrible incident and several other problems, I earnestly complained multiple times to the hospital's human resources office and doctors alike, but they all coldly brushed me off. The hospital mailed me an insincere form letter (that they purchase from the stationary store by the box full), saying essentially: “Too bad, so sad, see ya!” I was so deeply hurt.

I ended up back in the Emergency Room the day after my surgery, because the hospital abandoned me and stuck me in a cab instead of driving me home. To get into traffic, the cab driver gunned the gas pedal and my head lunged back. The pain was excruciating. I was readmitted into the hospital the next day, but they refused to give me enough pain medication for my agonizing neck pain.

So, I told the useless nurse that I was reluctantly leaving the hospital to go home, because there was no use for me to stay if they wouldn't treat my pain. They couldn't contact the doctor because she was away for the weekend having fun. As I began to leave, the witch nurse threatened to have security come grab me if I left the hospital. So, I laid back down, not wanting to deal with more Nazi guards. I was so angry with the whole damn hospital. They also mixed up my surgery chart with another man before the surgery.

16 years ago, I wrote dozens of angry articles against Cedars-Sinai if you want all the painful details. This is an open book. I pray earnestly for justice from God. I want the hospital and everybody involved to be held fully accountable by God. I want heads to roll...

There's a mountain of angry abused patients who are victims of Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. In their utter incompetence, Cedars-Sinai Hospital killed actor Bill Paxton (1955-2017). They killed a man's pregnant wife, and they are racists at Cedars-Sinai Hospital! I could lists umpteen more injustices committed by Cedars-Sinai Hospital, many of which have become high profile lawsuits and federal investigations. What evil monsters!

What a dung hole at Cedars-Sinai Hospital! I would NEVER step foot into that accursed place again. I wouldn't trust them with our Cockapoo dog. Cedars-Sinai abuses, mistreat, victimizes and kills people! Ecclesiastes 8:12-13, “Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”
