Beware Of Deeper Life Religious Theologians

2nd Corinthians 11:1-4, “Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

The Bible is simple. God intended for salvation and the Christian life to be simple. Men complicate things. Men complicate God's plan of salvation. In fact, Pastor John MacArthur has made getting saved so complicated, that he says children cannot be saved. That is totally preposterous and unbiblical. The Gospel is very simple, easy and free! Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a false witness. I am leery of religious theologians! Dear reader, it wasn't meant for us to understand all that there is to know about God and life. As I grow older I find myself telling web visitors who ask questions that, “I truly don't know.” Someone has suggested that the “Bible” can be expressed as an acronym: “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.” Thankfully, in the matter of salvation the Bible is very plain and concise.

I heard a new term this week called “Covenant Theology. So I went to search for the subject on Google. This is what I found at Wikipedia. It makes my brain hurt just reading the article, let alone trying to figure out what it means. Dear friend, theology presents the student with a bunch of ideas, terms and suppositions that are no where found in the Scriptures! If you're not careful, you could easily fall into a deeper life of debating theology, instead of witnessing the Gospel to lost sinners. All across America we've got a bunch of dead Bible colleges today, with dead professors (academics), who train their students to be academics. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) saw this sore evil years ago, evidenced by 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

I recommend to my web visitors that you get into the King James Bible, and forget all the junk taught by theologians, which will lead you AWAY from the Bible. Yes, they will! The topic of Molinism is a perfect example. I call it “junk theology.” If you're not careful, you'll allow theologians to inoculate you from spending time in the Word of God, and you'll become barren (fruitless) believers like they are. This is why America is going to Hell today! We've got a bunch of academics (educators) as pastors, trained by academics, who have no compassion nor desire to build soulwinning churches!!! Only preachers can reproduce preachers! 

A church that doesn't go soulwinning is not fulfilling their divine purpose! Matthew 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” That is The Great Commission. Sadly, in most churches today is has become The Great Omission. How many soulwinning churches do you know of? Every Christian should be soul conscious!

I have met numerous Neo-evangelicals who even express contempt and scorn for the Biblical term soulwinning. Proverbs 11:30, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.Are you wise? God ultimate goal for every mature believer is to bear fruit as a soulwinner. Luke 8:15, “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” That is what the parable of The Sower And The Seed is about, soulwinning, not salvation, as false teachers like Ray Comfort claim in his popular work: The Evidence Bible.

I thank God for the old-time religion, which is sadly dying nowadays. Revelation 3:2, “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Neo-evangelicalism is nothing more than the Devil transforming the churches into fun centers. Neo-evangelical churches have become spiritual places where people go to be motivated, instead of theological places where people have the Word of God preached unto them. Beware of anyone trying to replace Bible theology with mere spirituality. A false prophet may quote portions of Scripture to legitimatize their deception, while never actually teaching sound doctrine (i.e., the core fundamentals of the Christian faith). Something is very wrong with a pastor who never preaches about Jesus' virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious (substitutionary) death on the cross, Jesus' blood sprinkled in Heaven on the Mercy Seat, Christ's visible Second Coming, et cetera. 

You ought not leave a church feeling better about yourself; but rather, feeling convicted by the Holy Spirit about the sins in your life. You ought not leave a church thinking about how great the pastor or his sermons are; but rather, how great our God and His truths are! The preachers duty is to exalt the Savior, evangelize the sinner, and edify the saints! It's not the preacher's job to entertain and coddle you. Most Americans refuse to attend a solid Bible-believing church. But they will attend a church that resembles a rock concert—where the Gospel is corrupted, the Bible is corrupted, morals are corrupted, and the truth is corrupted. 

Psalms 84:10, For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.love what David said. He said: “I'd rather be a parking lot attendant at a godly church, than to own a casino, operate a nightclub, or manage a movie theatre.” David said: “I'd rather serve in Heaven, than reign in Hell.”  Amen David, me too! I'd rather be a doorkeeper at church, than to enjoy untold pleasures in Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. Nothing feels better than being right with God. NOTHING!!!

I digressed a bit off topic, but it's all connected. The apostasy in today's dead Neo-evangelical churches is a direct result of the theological formalism which has crept into our religious learning institutions. Deeper-life theology is an enemy of soulwinning! The thing that made Hyles-Anderson College so different was that Pastor Jack Hyles put preachers into the classrooms. I cannot remember how many times in class, that the teacher would just start preaching, and we never finished the lesson, but left fired up for God and truth! Sadly, after Dr. Hyles went to Heaven in 2001, tares crept into the church and college, causing them to change for the worse, so that they are no longer fighting Fundamentalists. Since 2008 they don't even believe that the Bible is infallible and inspired anymore. I-chabod is written over their doors! That is, the glory of the Lord is departed. Time will evidence this fact.

Also, the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam where I live is a spiritual morgue!!! The church began to die after they drove me out in 2014. When they rejected the truth of the Gospel I showed them, God's hand of blessing was removed. A church cannot reject THE TRUTH and expect to be blessed by God. I plainly showed them THE TRUTH that Lordship Salvation is of the Devil, but they wouldn't listen to wisdom. I plainly showed them that the modern Bible revisions are Devil's bibles, but they refused to listen to THE TRUTH. I freely gave them good books, written by Fundamentalist preachers, but they scorned me and the books. I plainly showed them that Martin Luther (1483-1546) taught the lie of Baptismal Regeneration all his life, but they still insisted that Mr. Luther is a born-again Christian. Why are they so stupid?

I'll tell you why, because they are scared little boys, cowards, who are afraid to go against their peers in the clergy, lest they be ostracized and put outside the gate with Jesus (like I have been ostracized and rejected by the ungodly Harvest Baptist Church on Guam since 2014). My blood is on their theologically incompetent hands. Where dwelleth the love of God? The Bob Jones' crowd know nothing of God's love. They are a bunch of yuppie types, who only love their own, operating the local church like a social club (us four and no more).

Jesus warned us about these evil types of religious phonies, who make their own rules. Neo-evangelicals have dozens of different Bible revisions, calling people like me and Pastor Jack Hyles “a cult, because we still believe in the infallibility and inspiration of a perfect King James Bible! Amen and amen!

Mark 7:9-13, “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

I encourage you dear reader to keep things simple. All you need is the Word of God. That is what the Bible teaches in 2nd Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.That means we don't need theological teachings to complete us. From time to time I get theologians wanting to debate with me, to put their training to use wasting my time, but I always decline their request. Not once have I ever debated, nor will I ever. The reason is simple, I am not a theologian and they would eat me alive! I don't want to know all that junk! I am happy to have my brain filled with God's inspired Words in the King James Bible, and nothing else (except maybe a nice loyal wife). All we need is the inspired King James Bible!!!
