The Absurdity Of The 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.”

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.”

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.” —Billy Joel

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

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 (28,200,000,000,000 miles away!). This is just one star, being the closest to earth besides our own sun, which is 93,000,000,000 miles away.

My friend, the Hubble Space Telescope had discovered that there are at least 200,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. And each of those galaxies contains BILLIONS of stars! The James Webb Telescope finally launched in 2021 from NASA. Astronomers now confirm that there are approximately TWO TRILLION galaxies!

Truly, God is more than amazing!!!

The 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, and he calls them each by their own name. Amen! Psalms 147:4, “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.”

I have just briefly discussed the stars. The world that exists under a microscope is even more amazing, complex and a mystery to mankind. How can anyone reasonably claim to be an atheist when man hasn't even discovered what's in 90% of the earth's oceans? Pastor John Cumming is so right... For anyone to say, “There is no God!,” you must yourself assume to be God! No human being has traveled to the ends of the universe. In fact, no human being has ever even left the Milky Way Solar System. Psalms 145:3, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.”

John Cumming was a Scottish minister who was well-known for his anti-Catholic writings and preaching. Amen for that! One of the biggest evidences of apostasy in the United States today is that hardly any professed Christians, evangelicals and clergy criticize the damned Roman Catholic religion. Catholicism teaches sacramental salvation, which is a manmade teaching that goes totally contrary to the inspired Words of God in the Bible. Roman and Russian Orthodox Catholicism are of the Devil. The pope is not the vicar of Heaven, but of Hell. Mary was born by normal conception, did not remain a virgin, and died a sinner's death like all human beings. Only Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. Thank God that Pastor John Cumming exposed the Catholic church for what it is—of the Devil.

Here's some quotes by famous atheists. Again, some of the world's wealthiest celebrities have the stench of Hell on them, which is where they are going, blaspheming the very God Who is kind to them. Luke 6:35b, “for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.” You'll have to look long and hard to find an atheist farmer who spends long days toiling in the field; but amongst the spoils and splendors of the millionaires of ungodly Hollywood, atheists are dime-a-dozen!

Here are some quotes from very unwise nd ungodly men...

“By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none.” —Actor Charlie Chaplin

“I have NEVER seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories of Heaven and Hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.” —Inventor Thomas Edison

“My belief system is that when this is over, you don't look down from Heaven and wait for your loved ones to join you... your molecules continue and in due time become something else.” —Actor William Shatner

“Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.” —Actor Christopher Reeve

“We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.” —Physicist Stephen Hawking, a quote from a 2011 Discover Channel episode titled, “CURIOSITY” (S01 E01); “Stephen Hawking: There is no God. There is no Fate.”

“All thinking men are atheist.” —Author Ernest Hemingway

“And that's what I anticipate death will be: a totally unconscious void in which you float through eternity with no particular consciousness of anything.” —Twilight Zone producer, Rod Serling (1924-1975)

We'll soon find out who was right! If the inspired Holy Bible is true (and I believe it certainly is 100%), then all Christ-rejecting atheists will go to Hell to burn forever. Sadly, Rod Serling (an atheist who produced The Twilight Zone series) is now burning in the torments and fires of Hell beneath (John 3:18, 36, John 8:24; Revelation 20:15).

So also are Charlie Chaplin (atheist), Leonard Nimoy (Judaism), David “Bowie” Jones (Buddhist), Gene Roddenberry (atheist) and Steve Jobs (Buddhist) all professed atheists. For any person to deny the deity of Jesus Christ effectively makes him or her an atheist, because Jesus is almighty God (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-3,14; John 10:33; John 14:1; Revelation 1:8 - All references only to trustworthy King James Bible).

What You Think You Need Is Not What You Need

John 17:15-17, “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

I have a web visitor who has exchanged fifty emails with me over the past year. I love the man in Christ and have tried to help him with his problems. Like so many people who contact me for spiritual help, he prefers to email me whenever he is down, depressed and angry at life, but he refuses to do any of the helpful things that I have suggested he do (i.e., study and listen to the inspired King James Bible, listen to fundamentalist Bible preaching online, and attend a Bible-believing local church). He won't do it. Instead, he chooses to keep coming to me to coddle him when he is tormented in his soul. He speaks of being oppressed by demons and tells me of his failures to overcome the temptations and sin in his miserable life.

That man got angry at me the other day, wrongly accusing me in an email of not caring about him. He accused me of not understanding what he is suffering through, asking me if I even know what it truly means to suffer. He said some nasty horrible untrue things in his anger to me. Do you know what I said that made him so angry? I told him the truth!

The man wrote to me this week. I won't share his email in this blog, because I protect the privacy of all the people who email me. They trust me with their personal information and I honor that. However, I can say that he shared his wounded soul, miseries, abuse as a child, confusion, broken relationship with his biological father, et cetera. He accused me of lacking sympathy for his problems, because I didn't hold his hand and pamper him as if he were a small child. Folks, I am not a babysitter!

The problem is that he has shared the same miseries with me umpteen times since July of 2024, in which time we have exchanged fifty ministry emails. He only contacts me when he needs someone to dump on, to vent. Dear reader, I am here by God's grace to help others, and if you want to email me a hundred times to vent, I am willing to listen to be a friend at midnight. By God's grace, I humbly am a servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Here was my kind response to the man, which pissed him off and compelled him to accuse me of not caring about him (you be the judge)...

The best advice I can give you my friend is to saturate your mind and heart with the inspired Word of God, that is, the King James Bible. I listened to Genesis yesterday... 

https://youtu.be/OgFT_IxwJJY?si=gOedUqyPdEGIQzj_

I recommend listening to Bible preaching daily. One of my favorite preachers is Pastor Steven Anderson. I know that he is controversial, but he is right on 99% of the things he preaches on...

https://www.faithfulwordbaptist.org/page5.html

Also, I listen regularly to Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)...

https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/playlist_preaching.htm

You need to renew your mind, replacing the wrong thinking with biblical thinking. Bible preaching helps us to think and live right. There is no other substitute for spending time hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Jesus said in John 17:17 that we are sanctified by the Word of God.

I encourage you to read The Strand Study Bible, which will help you immensely to understand the Holy Bible. Here is a free online copy...

https://user-rcpeu3.cld.bz/The-Strand-Study-Bible

Pastor Brad Strand in Texas spent 33 years and 30,000 hours putting together his study Bible, which is invaluable for the Bible student. Amazon sells new hard copies for about $125.

I hope that helps my friend.

That was my loving reply to the man that angered him, compelling him to degrade me and wrongly accuse me of not caring about him. Unreal. So, here was my follow-up email to him...

Kindly my friend, you have written to me numerous times before, and I have often expressed sympathy for your pain. I perceive that you are hurting and your anger is not toward me, but toward life itself. You wrote in your previous email that if I don't have the answers, to say so. Well, I did, a couple emails ago. I said:

I wish I had a magic answer my friend, but I don't. However, I have shared with you how I have made it over the years through the valley of the shadow of death in my own life. My faith in God has sustained me. In Mark 11:22 Jesus said, "Have faith in God." And of course, Jesus is almighty God (John 10:33), and the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16).

As I said before, I'll say again, I don't have a magic answer for you! I have been through decades of traumatic emotional pain, inexplicable pain, and an unwanted divorce in 2006, losing everything near and dear to me in the years that followed, et cetera. I have told you all of this before. I don't know where you got the wrong idea that I don't care or have never suffered. With God as my witness, I think I have more than shown that I do care, based on our many previous email exchanges my friend.

I have suffered much in my life. As Rocky Balboa says to his son (his real son played in the movie, who died years later of a drug overdose in real life) in Rocky part 5... "Life will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it; it's not how hard you can hit that matters, but how hard you can get hit and keep going." I never forgot that fatherly advice. Life will beat us to our knees! The Bible says when we are WEAK, we are STRONG, because our weakness allows Jesus to be strong in our life (2nd Corinthians 12:10). You need God's help all the time, and so do I, and everyone else too; but most people are too proud to submit to God.

I do care about you ______. I am being your best friend by encouraging you to listen to Bible preaching and saturate your mind with the inspired Word of God, and to go to church. I am a wretched sinner, and so are you (Romans 3:10-23). Our minds are all broken to some extent. There is no such thing as a "good Christian." We are all struggling horrible sinners. 

I have battled depression my entire adult life. I understand your frustrations, I really do. If all I had to look at was my prayer life I'd become an atheist, because as far as I can tell God has never answered a single prayer in my life. The many times when my prayers seemed to be answered, it could also have been mere coincidence. Yet, our good God has always taken care of me, and that I cannot deny. I refuse to put God on trial as the heathen world does all the time. Job said though God might kill him, he would still trust the Lord (Job 13:15). I feel the same! I have food on the table, a roof over my head, a mostly healthy body and all the comforts of our modern civilization. I have no complaints to the Lord. Best of all, my name is written in Heaven in the Lamb's Book of Life (Luke 10:20). God is faithful (1st Corinthians 1:9).

I recommended listening to Pastors' Steven Anderson and Jack Hyles because their preaching has helped me tremendously. Dr. Hyles dedicated every Sunday morning sermon to comforting broken hearts in his church congregation, where he was the senior pastor for 42 years at the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Dr. Hyles was a pastor for 55 years, pastoring multiple different churches. He counseled thousands of hurting families during those 55 years, since age 19. He went to Heaven at age 74 in 2001. You would be wise to listen to his sermons. I once heard Dr. Hyles say that out of 135 counseling sessions with church members, 128 of them could have been avoided if people would just listen to his sermons. That is amazing!

This is why I encourage you to listen regularly to Dr. Hyles' Bible preaching, because it will renew your mind, give you wisdom and help you grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's like the true old adage: "If you give a man a fish, you will have fed him for a day; but if you teach a man to fish, you will have fed him for a lifetime." Kindly said, I can encourage you whenever you're feeling down, feeling oppressed by demons and you're upset, but we'll be doing this for the rest of your life. I'd much rather help you to grow closer to God by encouraging you to walk with wise men. Proverbs 13:20, "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."

One of my favorite sermons is by Dr. Jack Hyles titled, "IF THOU SHOULD MARK INIQUITIES, WHO COULD STAND?"

Over the decades I have amassed a coveted collection of 3,336 sermons and Bible studies by Pastor Jack Hyles. I shared this with you because there is a wealth of wisdom and help my friend...

https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/playlist_preaching.htm

Trust me when I say that saturating your life with THE TRUTH will help you. You may not feel like it is helping, but I assure you over time that it will. God's Holy Spirit works through BIBLE PREACHING. Titus 1:2-4, "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 

To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour."

What saith the Scripture? Romans 12:2, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Colossians 3:10-11, "And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all." When I am down and discouraged, the indwelling Holy Spirit reminds me of Scripture passages that I have memorized and learned, to comfort, rebuke, guide and encourage me. David said in Psalms 119:9-11 that he hid God's Word in his heart that he might not sin against God. That is not just good advice, it is the only way to live the Christian life! Even Jesus quoted the Scriptures all three times He was tempted by Satan (Matthew 4:1-11).

I intentionally listen to Bible preaching in good weather, that is, when things are going well in my life. I do this to prepare and lay up truths for when the dark storm clouds of life arise. You're down in the valley right now, and I can only do so much to try to help you my friend. I just checked and we have exchanged 50 emails since July of 2024. I have numerous ministry visitors who regularly write to me when they are down and at their wit's end, wanting me to encourage them. By God's grace I am glad to do it, but I always try to encourage them to listen to Bible preaching, listen to the King James Bible, and saturate their life with THE TRUTH. 

Also, every believer should attend a local Bible believing church. I went to a local Baptist church this morning and received a blessing from the sermon. I have attended the same church since 2021. I encourage you to attend a local Baptist church, if you're not already. We all need Christian fellowship with other saints, and they also need our fellowship, help and comfort. If we don't pray and help each other as Christians, God knows that the world certainly won't.

I have umpteen people, professed Christians, writing to me about all their miseries and problems, but hardly any of them will listen to my godly advice to saturate their life with Bible preaching and the Holy Scripture. Those same worldly believers gladly sit around watching hellish television all week, but refuse to read the King James Bible, and then they wonder why they're so messed up. I am not saying this is you _____, because I don't know your situation, but I am saying to all my web visitors that if the shoe fits, wear it! You know how much Tv you watch, or don't watch. You know how much time you spend abiding in God's Word, or not. I get tired of professed Christians expecting me to fix their broken life, when they refuse to listen to sound Bible preaching and the inspired Word of God, which nothing can substitute for.

I made a choice a long, long, time ago to start listening to Bible preaching from fundamentalist Bible preachers (not hellbound clowns like Joel Osteen, Paul Washer, Ray Comfort, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Todd Friel, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Kenneth Copeland, and other lowlife bastards of the faith). Pastor Steven Anderson is not perfect, far from it, but he is 100% correct on the Bible and the Gospel, and I love listening to the guy preach. He has a backbone and is not afraid to offend the heathens.

People get all bent out of shape, down and depressed simply because they are focusing on the wrong things in their life. Hebrews 12:2, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." The wicked lost world look to Washington D.C., the state government, welfare, education, the media, pharmaceuticals, sexual immorality, psychology and other worldly things to solve their problems and meet their needs, but they refuse to seek their help from almighty God, their Creator. The Bible says that without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God (Hebrews 11:6).

So, kindly said, I wasn't brushing you off my friend by directing you to saturate your life with the Holy Bible and fundamentalist Bible preaching. It's just that after a year of ping-ponging 50 emails back and forth, addressing the same lingering issues, I am trying to help you help yourself. Don't get me wrong, I am a servant to my ministry visitors and am glad to help you when you need my encouragement in the Lord, but I am giving you the exact same advice that I give all of my web visitors, to LOOK TO JESUS, who is the Author and Finisher of our Christian faith. Hebrews 1:2 teaches that God the Father speaks to us today through His only begotten Son, that is, The Word of God according to John 1:1-3, 14 and Revelation 19:13.

I receive several thousand ministry emails each year, for all of which I am grateful. But there's always a handful of people who clamour for my attention more than others, who are always discouraged and struggling with demons in their life. Yet, they won't take my sound advice to saturate their life with the truth of God's Word. They refuse to go to church. They refuse to read the Christian books that I send them online, nor will they read or listen to the Bible sermons that I share with them. They just want me to hold their hand while they ignore God's will in their life.

I encourage you friend to listen every week to the Old Testament book of Proverbs, which takes 1 hour and 38 minutes to complete. There's 168 hours in a week. It's not asking too much that we would spend less than a couple hours each week listening to the Proverbs for wisdom...

https://youtu.be/lMLCM9ULM14

Less than 1% of my web visitors care about listening to Alexander Scourby read the King James Bible, or listening to Bible preachers who are filled with the Holy Spirit of God. It is sad and the root of people's problems. We don't need any more Christian radio, Christian magazines, Christian books or Christian seminars, we need to get back to the inspired KING JAMES BIBLE.

I just prayed for you ______, for God to work in your life.

Kindest regards and God bless.

One man from India kept writing to me every time his OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) afflicted him. We exchanged 150 emails over a period of one year. He would ask me if it mattered which of Jesus' hands, left or right, was nailed to the cross first. I honestly thought he was mocking and messing with me, and I almost blocked him out on a few occasions, but one thought captivated my mind—I figured if the guy was willing to take the time to write long legible emails to me, I should at least give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is sincere. So that is what I did.

That being said, after exchanging so many emails and him delving into the same questions repeatedly, I kindly told him truthfully that we were just going in circles, and I could not help him find the assurance of his salvation, because he has OCD. I can help someone who is ignorant of God's Word. I can help such a person settle the matter of knowing they are saved, by teaching them God's simple plan of salvation. However, I am not a psychiatrist and cannot help someone who refuses to believe the truths that I share with them. People who suffer from OCD refuse to rest in the promises of God, because their fears control them.

That poor man from India told me repeatedly that he often felt like his chair would swallow him into Hell. At one point he became ridiculous, asking me if it mattered if the cross was made of wood or plastic. I truly thought he was either insane or messing with me, but his emails were detailed and well written, so I did my best to help him. I shared every sermon, book and article I could find on salvation to help him, but his OCD fears overpowered all his sense of reason. Ultimately, I shared some Christian websites that I found to help people with OCD, but I honestly told the man that I don't know if they are good websites.

Dear read, I wrote this blog to help you! If you want to email me with your problems, anger and emotional wounds to vent, I'll be glad to listen; but at some point (likely much sooner than later), I will definitely encourage you to attend to a local church, read or listen to the inspired King James Bible, and listen regularly to Bible preaching by fundamentalist pastors and evangelists. Bible preaching helps us to think and live right!

Sad but true, the last thing that hurting people want to hear is that they need to listen to the inspired Holy Bible, attend a local church, and hear preaching at home and in their car. Listening to Bible preaching online has become a way of life for me, and I need and love it! And by the way, so do you, whoever you may be! We all need hard Bible preaching!!!

People think they need someone to coddle them, but you need to live in God's inspired Word! People think they need someone to burp, baby and change their diaper, but you need to have the hell preached out of you! People think they need someone to say nice things to encourage them, but you need to be offended by THE TRUTH! You need to attend a local church regularly.

Lately, I'm increasingly receiving emails from distraught Christians who are down on life, and they expect some magic pill from me to make everything right, but it doesn't exist. Suffering is a part of the Christian life, as much as salvation itself.

Kindly said, if you'd rather sit around watching worldly television, playing worldly videos games, walking with worldly friends, and hanging out on toxic worldly social media, then don't get upset when you come whining to me about your miserable life and I encourage you to study the King James Bible, listen to hard preaching and go to church next Sunday. I am being your best friend by telling you THE TRUTH. Ecclesiastes 12:13, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

No Christian Should Celebrate June As “Pride Month”

Proverbs 28:4, “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.”

Shame on any Christian who recognizes June as "Pride Month." Homosexuals are a wicked abomination unto our holy God, as are all sinners. Romans 1:24-32 plainly condemns homosexuality as a sin worthy of death (cf. Jude 1:7). Homosexuals are proud of their sinful deathstyle.

As born again believers we ought not bash sinners, we should unconditionally love them with the Gospel. We should never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. There is a balance. If God so loved the world, who said we should not? That being said, "Pride Month" is pure evil.

In his 2019 sermon, apostate Southern Baptist Convention president Greear contended that Evangelicals should “stand against any [LGBT] discrimination” and should “count ourselves among the fiercest advocates for the preservation of their dignity and rights." BLASPHEMY! No Sir, God's redeemed children ought NOT be among the fiercest advocates of rights for sodomites to commit sodomy with each other! J.D. Greear was inspired by DEMONS when he spoke those blasphemous words against the Word of God.

I am all for loving sinners unconditionally with Christ's love and the Gospel, but at the same time we must NEVER succumb to go along with their unnatural disgusting deathstyle, hard core wickedness and targeting our children with their sinister homosexual agenda!!! Proverbs 29:27, “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.” Woe unto any professed Christian who speaks well of the homosexual's “Pride Month.” There is no “pride” in committing sin! Proverbs 28:4, “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.”

Jesus Is The Lord, You Don't Make Him Lord

Romans 14:8-9, “For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.”

As I do nearly every day, I visit different favorite social media sites to see what's new. Today I found this meme on Pastor Jeff Owens Twitter page. I added the red cancellation mark, so that no one might think that I am in agreement with Dr. Owen's statements. ...

Throughout my website ministry since 2002, I have encouraged all of my web visitors to think objectively, to question everything with the inspired King James Bible. This is biblical. 1st John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” Even Bible preachers are still flawed sinful humans and are in error doctrinally at times, including this humble preacher.

Every time I read that statement, “He's either the lord of all or He's not the Lord at all,” I cringe. I cringe simply because it is not a true statement. Dear reader, JESUS IS THE LORD! You don't make Him Lord, Jesus is the LORD!

For Jesus to be the 100% supreme Lord of someone's life, you'd have to be totally sinless like Christ Himself, which is IMPOSSIBLE. Since we all have varying degrees of sin still present in our daily lives, can anyone truly claim that Jesus is 100% the Lord of their life? Yes, we can. When you commit sin dear reader, if you are a born again child of God, Jesus is still your Lord. 

Whether you and I submit to Christ as our Lord is an entirely different matter, but if you are saved Jesus is your LORD. Respectfully said, I reject Pastor Owen's meme which says either Jesus is Lord of all in your life or else He's not the Lord at all. That is simply untrue! There has never been, nor ever will be, a time in our life when we 100% obey God's inspired Word, because we are still stuck with this sinful troublesome flesh (Romans 7:14-25).

At best, all we can do is pray for God to guide and help us to do right. Remember, the Holy Spirit (who is the Godhead living inside our spirit, soul and body) lives the Christian life through us, we don't live the Christian life in our own human strength (Galatians 2:20-21).

Kindly said, I strongly reject the erroneous idea that Jesus is not one's Lord unless you are sold out to Christ in every area of your life. Dear reader, that is utterly IMPOSSIBLE! No one is 100% surrendered to Christ... NO ONE! Not unless you are perfectly sinless like Jesus. Jesus is every believer's LORD! That is, Jesus became your Lord and Master the moment you trusted Him as your personal Savior. Ownership rights transferred from Satan to God the moment you were saved. When you were born again, you were no longer a child of the Devil, you became a child of God.

Now, most believers don't submit to Jesus as the Lord of their life. And truthfully, none of us submit completely to Him. There is no such thing as a good Christian.

In his meme, Pastor Owens says you cannot bargain with God. Did not Abraham bargain with God concerning how many righteous people he might find in Sodom? Yes, he did. Did not Moses bargain with God on Mount Sinai, trying to change God's mind not to destroy the Jews? Yes, he did. Dear reader, God CAN be bargained with. 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.” God can be bargained with. If you are saved, then Jesus is your Lord!

You and I will never totally surrender to Christ as the supreme Lord of our life, otherwise we'd be perfect. No believer is a shining example of what other believers should be. At best all you can do is hide your sin. 1st Timothy 5:24, “Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.” Although you may live above reproach, there is no such thing as a Christian who is above sinning (Romans 7:14-25).

That being said, I respect Pastor Jeff Owens. He was one of my Bible professors at Hyles-Anderson College (HAC) when I attended from 1985 to 1993. I graduated in 1993 with an earned degree in Pastoral Theology. I was actually on the Dean's List for good character conduct and high grades, if you can believe that. That was a far cry from my first year at HAC college, when I lived on campus, and I was called into the Dean's office for having too many demerits. I changed considerably over the 8 years I spent at HAC. The Lord invested in my life, to be a servant for Him as an inspired King James Bible preacher. Thank you Jesus!!!

The Word “Repent” Is Not Mentioned In The Book Of John

John 3:14-17, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

In the Book of John, we find the word “believe” mentioned 85 times, but the word “repent” doesn't appear even once. That is because repentance is included in believing, which Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) rightly understood...

“The fella who knows what repentance is knows it's included in believing.” —Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995)

Bible repentance in the New Testament is always either the Greek noun metanoia (a change of mind), or the Greek verb metanoeo (to think differently). Repentance concerning salvation NEVER means to “turn away from your sins,” nor does it mean to even “be willing to turn from sin.” Yet, this damnable heresy is being taught in 95% of churches today, including corrupted independent fundamental Baptist churches. They are fundamental in name only, but have strayed away from right doctrine.

Pastor Brad Strand (my former Bible professor at Hyles-Anderson College in the late 1980's) gets repentance 100% correct...

Like the thief on the cross who never had an opportunity to “turn from his sin,” we, like him, can only “acknowledge our sinfulness” in order to be saved (Lk 23:40-41). ...True repentance has nothing to do with “turning from sin” and everything to do with “acknowledging one's sinfulness” (Jonah 3:5). Like the thief on the cross who simply acknowledged his sinfulness (Lk 23:39-43), the only part a person has in salvation is the beggar's part.

SOURCE: Pastor Brad Strand, “The Strand Study Bible”; 2nd Corinthians 7:8-9, p. 1939

Amen and amen! Woe unto the pastor, missionary or evangelist who adds his own words to God's inspired Words to pervert the Holy Bible (Proverbs 30:5-6). Jeremiah 23:36, “And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Over 95% of Baptist pastors today have blood on their hands! Shame on your pastor if your church's Statement of Faith requires lost sinners to “Repent of your sins” to be saved, because you cannot back that nonsense up with a King James Bible. You only need to repent of your sin of unbelief to get to Heaven.

I love this excellent quote from Pilgrim's Progress book author, John Bunyan...

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —John Bunyan (1628-1688)

Yes, bravo Brother Bunyan! Mixing service (discipleship) with salvation (sonship) is the damnable heresy of Lordship Salvation!

Dr. Curtis Hutson rightly said...

“And when it comes to salvation, the only thing that counts with God today is the death of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. If you are counting on anything other than Jesus Christ to take you to Heaven, then you are counting on something that God doesn't count. Won't you trust Christ today? If you are not absolutely sure that there was a time in your life when you knew you were a sinner and made a definite decision to trust Jesus Christ completely for salvation, then we urge you to trust Him now.” —'Salvation Crystal Clear,' by Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995)

One of my favorite preachers, Pastor Harry Ironside (1876-1951), wrote these helpful words of truth...

“The Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a more perfect way than you have been doing in the past …

Nor is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins, that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved at all.”

SOURCE: Harry A. Ironside, from the Gospel tract: 'What Is The Gospel?'

Amen and amen! I thank God for doctrinally sound preachers like Harry Ironside, Brad Strand, Jack Hyles, Curtis Hutson, Ralph Yankee Arnold, Steven Anderson and Hank Lindstrom, who are 100% correct on repentance and; therefore, a free grace Gospel.

Our text passage of Scripture from John 3:14-16 mentions an incident from the Old Testament (Numbers 21), when fiery serpents afflicted the Jews, biting them and thousands died. The people cried out to their leader Moses, who cried out to God for help. The Lord instructed Moses to beat a piece of brass into the shape of a serpent, and then instruct the Jews to look to the serpent to live. That serpent symbolized our dear Savior, Jesus, who became as sin for us, that we could be made righteous through faith in Him. 2nd Corinthians 5:21, “For he (God the Father) hath made him (God the Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (Jesus).” Thank you God!

The Jews in the Wilderness were instructed to LOOK AND LIVE! Whoever looked by faith to the brass serpent that Moses held up on a pole, lived. Whosoever had been bitten by a serpent and refused to look, died. Dear reader, salvation is that simple. Isaiah 45:22, “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” I love that Bible verse!

Don't you dare tell me that people were saved by works in the Old Testament under Mosaic law. Pastor William P. Grady is a fool who wickedly teaches that people went to Heaven by doing works in the Old Testament. As you just heard, if you listened to the MP3 sermon excerpt, Dr. Bill Grady foolishly says that nobody was ever saved in the Old Testament. He gets that false teaching from infidel Peter S. Ruckman (1921-2016), who was also in woeful error on Bible repentance for salvation. BEWARE of damnable false prophets' William P. Grady and Peter S. Ruckman. They will lead you into the Lake of Fire!

Just as the Jews who looked to the brass serpent (which pictured Jesus), and as people were saved in the prophet Isaiah's time by LOOKING TO THE MESSIAH, even so are lost sinners saved today in 2025 by LOOKING TO JESUS!!!

The word “repent” is not mentioned in the Gospel of John because you don't get saved by repenting, you get saved by BELIEVING THE GOOD NEWS (Gospel) of Jesus who was crucified for our sins, buried and then physically resurrected the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). Repentance simply facilitates (makes possible) believing. Repentance is simply changing your mind toward God (Acts 20:21) to acknowledge the truths (2nd Timothy 2:25) that you are a needy sinner (Romans 3:19-20), and that Jesus is the only Savior (John 20:31). 1st Thessalonians 4:14, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”

It Is Best Not To Make Promises To Anyone

I stopped making promises a long time ago. I usually say to people, "No promises," when agreeing to do anything. I know that I am a woeful sinner by nature; and therefore, I simply don't trust myself. Talk is cheap and promises are easily broken. NEVER trust a man who trusts himself! If you make a promise, woe unto you if you fail to honor that vow, especially to God.

When I attended Hyles-Anderson College (1985-1993), I served Jesus voluntarily in the B' Bus Ministry of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana (one of 114 existing church ministries at the time). One Saturday while working our bus route on Chicago's north side, I told some young boys who rode our bus that me and my soulwinning partner would try to come back later to take them for some cheeseburgers, but I told them: “NO PROMISES.”

Their father thanked me. He said many church bus workers had lied to his boys, making empty promises but then never delivered on them. I never forgot that exchange of words, and how good it made me feel that a father thanked me for not lying to his boys, simply because I prefaced my plan to come back to take them for some burgers later that day with the words: “NO PROMISES.”

Subsequently, I have been prefacing all my plans with “NO PROMISES” ever since, and I am glad that I do, because so oftentimes something comes up that prevents me from delivering on my agreed plans. OUR WORDS MATTER.

The heathen world lies all the time. President Vladimir Putin in Russia is a habitual chronic liar. While promising a peace treaty he ruthlessly continues to bomb Ukraine. Just this past week President Putin fired 700 deadly missiles into Ukraine, murdering many civilians. President Trump just days ago publicly described President Putin as “absolutely crazy” for bombing Ukraine during peace talks. So also is the Israeli government full of habitual liars, continually breaking their promises to the Palestinian people. The Bible foretold that such perilous times would come, when pathetic ungodly liars, trucebreakers and scoundrels would abound in societies (2nd Timothy 3:1-7). We are definitely living in perilous times today in 2025!

President Trump publicly this week described President Putin as “absolutely crazy” for bombing Ukraine during peace talks.

We all saw President Joe Biden last year in 2024 blatantly lie to the media, when he told the country that he would not pardon his son's multiple felony convictions for which he faced decades in prison. On his last day in office, President Biden pardoned his son of all crimes. Joe Biden and his son both belong behind bars for a very long time! Don't believe anyone who foolishly says that “no one is above the law,” because clearly there are many people who are above the laws of the United States.

The entire Bush administration got away Scot Free with the 9/11 attacks, which they orchestrated. The criminal Masonic controlled U.S. Justice Department refused to do anything about 9/11, letting the culprits go free. Now, over 20 years later when THE TRUTH has been buried under a deliberate mountain of media lies, disinformation and misinformation and tion, the U.S. Justice Department finally pretends to care. Now that the emotions have died down and hardly anyone cares anymore about 9/11, the Justice Departments acts. What a ruse! 

What a sick charade! If I, as a mortal finite human being can see through their evil charade, then I know that our omnipotent omniscient God certainly does! Thankfully, the inspired Holy Bible promises in Ecclesiastes 5:8 that there will ultimately be justice! Hell is coming up to get Bill Clinton and his evil wife, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush and his evil father (who is already in Hell), Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, et cetera. They are devils who are above the law! But thankfully they cannot escape God's judgment (Ecclesiastes 12:14).

As God's redeemed children our words should matter. Our words should always be seasoned with grace, that we may be a blessing to others. God forbid that our words should ever discourage, hurt or cause someone to quit church or stray further from God. Our words can be as deadly bullets fired from a gun, which once fired cannot be retrieved. OUR WORDS MATTER! I won't make any promises to anyone, especially not to the Lord. I may promise to do my best, but I always leave room for my predictable unpredictable flawed humanity. Since I know that I am a woeful sinner (and so are you friend), and since I know that Jeremiah 17:9 warns that the human heart is DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL ELSE, I won't trust my heart!

I will trust in the Lord, who never changes (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8), but I refuse to trust in myself, knowing that I am a sinner prone to change, forgetfulness and weakness. God only expects us as humans to do the best we can in His strength. The Lord fully knows that we are made of dust, mere flesh. Psalms 103:14, “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.” That Bible verse was Pastor Jack Hyles' mother's (Coystal Mattie Hyles, 1887-1984) favorite passage of Scripture, and I likewise love this comforting verse. God understands better than anyone that we are mere clumps of clay, prone to weakness and sin. God has made a way of escape through faith in His only begotten Son, Jesus. Romans 5:8-9, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him”

To God alone be the glory.

A Christian Cannot Be Demon Possessed

Luke 11:24-26, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Someone recently asked, “Can a Christian be demon possessed? Or can they be demonically oppressed?”

A born-again Christian cannot be possessed by demons. Scripture makes it clear that at the moment of salvation, a believer is permanently indwelt and sealed by God's Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13; Romans 8:9; 1st Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:19; 1st John 3:24). We are bought with a price and belong to God (1st Corinthians 6:20). That price is the precious blood of Jesus (1st Peter 1:18-19). Possession implies ownership and control, but believers are now under the authority of Christ and have been transferred from the domain of darkness into His kingdom (Colossians 1:13). Since God and Satan are not co-tenants, demon possession of a believer is categorically impossible (2nd Corinthians 6:14-16).

However, believers can be oppressed by demons. While demons cannot indwell or possess the child of God, they can certainly harass, attack, influence or bring external pressure. Inspired Scripture records that Paul was given a “messenger of Satan to torment” him (2nd Corinthians 12:7), and Peter warns that our adversary the devil “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1st Peter 5:8). This kind of oppression may come in the form of spiritual, emotional, or circumstantial attacks—but always from the outside, never from within.

Believers can also be influenced by demons, particularly through false doctrine, worldly ideologies, and subtle deception. Paul warned that “in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons” (1st Timothy 4:1). The battlefield is the mind, which is why we are commanded to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2nd Corinthians 10:5-6), and to renew our minds daily by the inspired Word of God (Romans 12:2). Demonic influence comes when we neglect the truth and fail to walk by faith.

In summary, while a born-again believer cannot be possessed by a demon due to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, he or she can be afflicted through external spiritual attacks and influences by lying false teachers and slanderers. That’s why we’re commanded to put on the whole armor of God, stand firm in His strength, and remain alert (Ephesians 6:10-18). Christ has already won the decisive victory at the cross (Colossians 2:15); and though we still face battles, we fight from a position of security and strength in the Lord.

The Origin Of Fallen Angels (Demons)

The Bible teaches about demon possession. I believe that demons originated from the fall of Lucifer before the human race was ever created. I strongly believe in an old earth. That is, I believe that God remodeled the earth during the literal six days of creation approximately 6,000 BC, but the earth itself is billions of years old. Science tells us that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. I have no problem with that estimate. They tell us that the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Again, I have no problem with that claim. What saith the Scripture? Psalms 102:25, “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.” The psalmist (Pastor Jack Hyles thinks it was likely Daniel the prophet) made a definite distinction regarding the age of the earth from all else. I humbly think that fact is significant.

Having said that, I absolutely reject all forms of evolution. I recently met with a young whippersnapper local Baptist pastor in Pensacola, who took issue with several of my website articles. He disagreed with me that women shouldn't wear pants (his wife shamefully wears sexy tight blue jeans in public), that the government should execute sodomites, an old earth (he teaches a young earth), et cetera. It was not a pleasant meeting. He had a bad attitude, defiant against the truth, and admitted to me that he is a neo-evangelical pastor (in sharp contrast, I am a born again fighting fundamentalist Bible preacher).

Anyway, that local pastor made the false accusation to me that adherents of an old earth (aka, Gap Theorists) lean heavily upon science rather than the Holy Bible. I immediately told him that he was very wrong. Legitimate science and the inspired Holy Bible agree! Dr. Einstein said it well...

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” —Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Young earthers are in the same sinking boat as those lunatics who still think the earth is flat. The Bible warns against false science. 1st Timothy 6:20, “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.” The best examples of FALSE SCIENCE that I can think of are: The fallacies of evolution, a flat earth and Geocentricity (the lie that the earth is stationary and our solar system rotates around the earth). 

It matters what we believe! RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!! Intelligent unsaved people won't listen to an ignoramus pastor who bizarrely believes the tomfoolery that the earth is flat. Scientists tell us that there have been at least 300 species of dinosaurs unearthed and identified. You'd have to be a darn fool to believe that over 300 species of dinosaurs just died off about 5,000 years ago for no apparent reason, while the rest of God's creation flourished. 

Dear reader, there were NO DINOSAURS in the Garden of Eden! Dinosaurs didn't coexist with humanity!!! Noah didn't leave them behind as Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) foolishly taught. Nor did Noah bring dinosaurs aboard the ark with stunted growth for one year, as foolishly taught by Dr. Henry Morris III (1918-2006). It is so clear to any honest student of the inspired Holy Bible and science that dinosaurs simply could not have lived 5,000 years ago. And if they had coexisted with mankind, just for the sake of argument, why did over 300 species all just die off from the planet? Dear friend, use the brain that God gave you to think. Dinosaurs lived 60 to 220 million years ago, just as science confirms. The inspired Holy Bible concurs with legitimate science!

When Lucifer rebelled against God, one third of the angels chose to side with him. God in His wrath destroyed the earth, rendering it without form and void.

Jeremiah 4:23-28, “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.”

It humbly seems to me that this passage is speaking about creation. I humbly believe that God in His wrath destroyed the earth. Astronomers and geologists alike tell us that a large asteroid collided with the earth approximately 66 million years ago, which was an Extinction Level Event (E.L.E.), just like in the 1998 movie “Deep Impact.” The dinosaurs and all life on earth were annihilated, leaving the earth without form and void, just as we read in Genesis 1:2, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

It seems logical to me that the angels lived in cities upon the earth before mankind was created. Notice what Lucifer said in his pride in Isaiah 14, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” I agree with Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) in his 6-part Demonology series from 1974, that in order to ascend ABOVE THE CLOUDS, Lucifer had to first be below the clouds upon the earth. Dr. Hutson also believed and taught an old earth view, as did my long time ministry friend Pastor Max D. Younce (1935-2023).

When the earth was destroyed, all of the fallen angels became disembodied. That is, their bodies were destroyed in the aftermath of the destruction. They were now spirits without bodies. That is why in the inspired Holy Scripture, demons always needed to find a human or animal to be a host to possess. Whereas God's obedient angels always appeared in their own physical bodies. And by the way, angels appeared as humans. Hebrews 13:2, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” If it is possible to entertain “angels unawares,” then they must appear so identical to humans that we cannot distinguish them apart from humans. That is very interesting!

I hope you have enjoyed this brief Bible study on demons. This is speculation of course, most of which I cannot prove with the Bible. That being said, I can tell you with all confidence that a young earth makes absolutely no sense at all! The only other option is an old earth, so that is where I firmly stand. Thank you for reading my blogs. To our faithful God and Savior alone be all the credit and praise.
