Most Believers Don't Know What A Christlike Spirit Is

Matthew 21:12-15, “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,”

I love that statement... “THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HE DID.” But wait a minute! Did we just read about Jesus aggressively grabbing people from out of their seats, overturning those seats, violently overthrowing their tables with money and birds going everywhere, casting them out of the temple on their butts! Some people would no doubt have disagreed with THE WONDERFUL THINGS HE DID!!!

I am one of the most hated and criticized preachers on the internet. If you want to urinate on my grave someday, you'll have stand in line. Sadly, much of my criticism comes from other independent Baptists and professed Christians. In particular, the Bob Jones University crowd are critical of me, because I have told THE TRUTH about them, exposing their apostasy! Many people would no doubt accuse me of lacking a Christlike spirit. I heard one preacher say that there is a difference between having the Spirit of Christ, versus having a Christlike spirit. Although that is true, what is a Christlike spirit”? Who decides what is like Christ, or not like Christ? You? Me? The Wolfman? Orville Redenbacher? Geoffrey Giraffe?

Before anyone goes around touting that every believer ought to possess a “Christlike spirit,” you should more closely examine the Scriptures. Mark 5:15-17, “And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.” Jesus healed the afflicted man, who was demon possessed. But the local people of Gadarenes didn't care about the man's well-being, they were upset over the 2,000 pigs that just commit hogacide. The demons asked for permission to leave the man and go into a herd of swine. Jesus gave them permission. The demons entered into the pigs and they went insane, running down a steep hillside to drown in the Sea of Galilea. The demons did that, not the Lord. The demons cost the townspeople a massive financial loss of 2,000 pigs. That's a lot of bacon!!!

I hate to say it, but that true story reminds me of many churches today, who care more about their financial situation than they do people. Harvest Baptist Church drove me out of their family in 2014, and abandoned me. I was sad, broken and lonely, just needing some time to myself to sort things out. No one cared to keep in touch with me. They gave up on me. When I couldn't take the loneliness anymore, in 2017 I begged three times to please befriended me with Christ's love, by simply allowing me to return to church services. The senior pastor said no. His assistance pastors said no. They church said no. They are just like the ungrateful people of Gadarenes, who cared more about the pigs than they did one hurting man.

I know the pain of being despised and rejected, especially by my peers (my brothers and sisters in Christ). If a local independent Baptist church won't receive a broken, hurting and remorseful man back, then where can he go? 2nd Corinthians 2:7, “So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.Ironically, Harvest Baptist Church on Guam has a big sign at the entrance to their property which reads: “Helping People Develop A Heart For God.” What they should change their sign to read instead is: “Where Porky Pigs Matter More Than People!” God knows that I love them unconditionally. I wish they could know my heart of love, loneliness and desire just to be part of the family. Right doctrine matters! Using the right Bible matters! One person matters! No one is expendable!

So we see that Jesus' Spirit displeased the people of Gadarenes, so much so that they asked Him to leave and don't come back! They wanted Jesus gone, gone, gone! Mark 5:17, “And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.” Are you sure that you want a truly Christlike spirit dear friend? Because no one may want to be around you anymore, like me. 2nd Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” Most believers read this Bible verse and mentally picture the ACLU, NAMBLA, Black Lives Matter, GLAAD, or some other liberal heathen group; but the Bible says Paul's enemies were the churches of Galatia. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?Carefully notice why they were his enemy—for telling THE TRUTH!!!

Like me, Paul was rude at times in his preaching. 2nd Corinthians 11:6, “But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.A faithful Bible preacher is supposed to offend people with THE TRUTH! Luke 6:26-28, “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. Neo-evangelicals don't stand for anything that will cause them discomfort. They refuse to suffer reproach for the name of Christ. They refuse to be put outside the gate with Jesus. They are wishy-washy!

In sharp contrast, I am a Christian Fundamentalist, which is why the Bob Jones University crowd have shunned me since 2014. They superficially speak of love, but in reality there is no love for anyone outside of their little social club. Us four and no more! There is nothing Christlike in the spirit at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, nor at Bob Jones University today. I am merely expressing my humble opinion as a child of God. To be Christlike means to tell THE TRUTH as Jesus did. John 8:40, “But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.” John 8:45, “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.Think about what Jesus just said. The Lord said it was because HE TOLD THE TRUTH, that they didn't believe Him.

There is absolutely nothing Christlike” about using, promoting and bidding Godspeed to dozens, even hundreds, of English Bible revisions. That is the Devil's way! Satan came to Eve in Genesis 3:1, introducing a new version of God's Word. If you'll go compare Genesis 2:16-17 to Genesis 3:1, you'll see that the serpent totally changed what God said, saying the opposite. Whereas God said they COULD eat of all the trees, save one; the serpent quoted God as saying they COULDN'T eat of any of the trees. By presenting a new version of God's Word, Eve had to CHOOSE between two authorities. That put Eve in the place of God, to choose which version of God's Word she wanted to follow. Dear reader, that is exactly why Satan introduced a new Greek Bible to the world in the year 1881, produced by Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort. Any honest person can quickly see that the Devil is behind the modern Bible publishing movement, supplying a never-ending rash of new Bible versions year after year.

A Christlike spirit is a truth-seeking and truth-telling spirit. A Christlike spirit is one of speaking THE TRUTH in love. Without love truth will be ineffective. Without truth love is useless. Truth must coexist with love. 1st Corinthians 13:6b says that love rejoiceth in the truth.Telling the truth makes enemies. Paul found that out (Galatians 4:16). Jesus found that out (John 8:45). I have painfully found that out. There is a woeful lack of love and truth in churches today. You cannot have one without the other. Tragically, the ministry has deteriorated into a lucrative $127 billion dollar a year business across America. Apostate Bible colleges are producing hundreds of thousands of selfish graduates, who are just a shade above secular universities, in it for the money.

Humbly said, I have been preaching unapologetically against the apostasy in Neo-evangelical churches, for the past 18 years since I began my website ministry in 2002. I have focused primarily on the apostate Bob Jones University (BJU) camp, simply because they expelled me from their family for telling THE TRUTH. The same could be said of Moody Bible Institute, Liberty University, Master's University, Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary, East Texas Baptist College, and hundreds of other spiritually lifeless Bible colleges and preacher's cemeteries today. My spirit is very Christlike!

Jesus showed no patience when greedy men turned God's house into a place of making money. Jesus called them “thieves.” Does that sound Christlike? I hope you think so, because Christ said it! Today's pastors and churches are so afraid of losing financial support that they are terrified of having a church split. That is why Harvest Baptist Church forced me out in 2014, afraid that my presence would cause a church split. They still ended up losing half of their staff and church members in the years to follow. In an attempt to censor the truth and drive me out, they drove out the Holy Spirit. “I-chabod” (the glory of the Lord is departed) is now written over the doors of Harvest Baptist Church and Bob Jones University.


Bob Jones University Has A Bad Attitude, Unwilling To Heed The Truth
