Every Born Again Christian Has A License To Sin

1st Romans 6:1, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”

John 2:1-2, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

I read much theological debate on social media over the phrase, “a license to sin.” This is an ongoing war between the 'Easy-Believism' crowd versus the 'Hard-Repenters' camp.

The Bible irrefutably teaches Easy-Believism (Romans 4:1-7). That is, any sinner can be saved by simply BELIEVING on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:30-31), by faith receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for your sins, believing that three days after was buried, He miraculously resurrected from the dead. This is 'THE GOSPEL' by which all who BELIEVE IT are instantly and permanently saved (1st Corinthians 15:1-6).

I love the Scripture passage in Acts 13:38-39, which boldly refutes the heresies of Lordship Salvation and Misunderstood Repentance. ...
Acts 13:38-39, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [Jesus] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”
Amen! The moment that I was saved by faith in Jesus as a 13-year-old teenager in 1980, I was JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS. Yes, that gave me a LICENSE TO SIN, if you will!

My ministry friend, Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, offers these edifying words on the topic...
“'You can't tell me you can trust Christ as Savior, and then go out here and live like the Devil, and still go to Heaven!' Yes, I can tell you that! That's what the Bible says. If you don't come to the conclusion, that—Yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior and live like the Devil, and still go to Heaven when you die—you don't get grace, because that is the exact truth! That is the truth! I do not have to change my life! I don't have to stop one sin! You say, 'I've never heard a preacher say that.' You just heard one! And you listen to me—I want to live as holy and as godly as I possibly can. I am now 70 years old. I've been saved for 52 years. ... the only reason I'm going to Heaven is because, 52 years ago in a little living room, I accepted Christ as my Savior.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Calvinism And Grace Are NOT Compatible
Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) wrote these helpful words...
“Let me say again that I do not believe for a second that Christian people should live like the Devil. No preacher preaches separation more than I do. I simply believe that that separation is a work of the Holy Spirit just like regeneration is a work of the Holy Spirit, and it starts after one has repented from that which makes him lost, and that is unbelief.” ―Pastor Jack Hyles, “Misunderstood Repentance” (chapter 4) from his book: “Salvation Is More Than Being Saved
I get tired of hearing well-meaning Bible teachers say that God doesn't give anyone a license to sin. Oh yes He does!!! Otherwise we'd all be going to Hell when we die. Now, God doesn't give anyone His blessing or permission to sin (Romans 3:31), but the day you trusted Jesus and were born again, you were JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS, so that no matter how awful the sins are which you commit, or how often you choose to commit them, you are SAFELY and SECURELY saved. ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED is 100% biblical.

The truth is that every believer still continues in sin (Romans 7:14-25). No one is without sin. Even the best Christian still commits sin continually one way or another. As long as we are in the flesh we will commit sin (Romans 7:24; Psalms 130:3). Thank God that by faith alone in Jesus' precious blood we have been 'JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS.'

Amen. It is a license to sin, because we need that license or we are going to Hell.

If we didn't have a license to sin from God, we'd all be going straight to Hell when we die, because everyone still sins (Romans 7:14-25). Jesus' precious blood is our license to sin as believers, but God plainly commands all saints to depart from iniquity (2nd Timothy 2:19). The Bible says in Titus 2:12 that Christians SHOULD live godly; not MUST (Catholicism); not WILL (Calvinism), but SHOULD (biblical truth). Believers who choose to live wasted lives of sin and shame will suffer loss of rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ (1st Corinthians 3:11-15; 2nd Corinthians 5:10-11); yet so, saved as by fire (1st Corinthians 3:15).

Every saint of God falls 'IN GRACE,' never 'FROM GRACE'...
Romans 5:20-21, “Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The only way that someone can fall 'FROM GRACE' is if you trust in the works of the law (e.g., turning from your sinful ways) to be saved. This is exactly what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians 5:4, “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” No one can be justified in God's sight by human effort (works). You must REST in the finished redemptive work of Christ alone (Hebrews 4:10-11).

And this is why we have peace. Romans 5:1-2, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Without the license to sin obtained by grace alone, how could we ever have the peace of eternal security? We couldn't. Lordshippers (or any other false religion for that matter) cannot have the peace that comes with free grace belief. The Gospel alone saves (Romans 1:16).

God doesn't want His redeemed children to commit sin, but we all do just that. “You mean I can get saved and still continue to sin?” Yes, that is what every believer does! The whole concept of requiring someone to “repent of your sins” to get to Heaven is inherently flawed, because at best all we can do is clean up our life of filth.

You can give a filthy hog a clean bath, use perfume and then tailor some nice clothes to spiffy up Mr. Piggy. But the moment you release him, he's going to head for the nearest mudhole to wallow in, because that is his nature as a pig. Likewise, to insist that an unregenerate (unsaved) man first commit to reform his life of sin (as a prerequisite) to receive God's free gift of eternal life is ridiculous, because the unregenerate (unsaved) man cannot overcome sin in his own strength.

I get so upset with Pacific Garden Mission (PGM) in Chicago, who've produced the toxic religious 'UNSHACKLED' radio program since 1950. The episodes are intriguing, but their plan of salvation is FALSE. Lordship Salvation is a counterfeit Gospel! SHAME on PGM!

Their favorite Go-To Scripture passage is 1st Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” But carefully notice dear reader that this Bible verse only applies to the man who is ALREADY saved. He is “in Christ.” PGM heretically puts the cart before the horse by frontloading the Gospel, demanding mature character traits from someone who isn't even born again yet. It is religious nonsense! You get saved by coming to God “AS IS,” believing that Jesus did it all for you through Calvary's cross. It's that easy to be saved.
“The wickedness of a life has not one thing in this world to do with where you go when you die; not one thing!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “Religion Or Christ?
If you don't believe that a saved person can continue living a wicked lifestyle of sinning, then you are denying the grace of God by which all that believe are justified from all things” (Acts 13:39b). We all have a license to sin under God's grace, but that doesn't give us the Lord's permission or blessing to use it. What many people utterly fail to understand is that going to Heaven is a free gift obtained through childlike faith in Jesus (Romans 6:23); whereas living the Christian life is strictly a matter of service and discipleship (Romans 12:1). One thing has nothing to do with the other.

One of my favorite preacher quotes is from Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan, emphasizing the importance of keeping salvation completely separate from service...
“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! The false doctrine of Lordship Salvation is caused by confusing service with salvation, combining discipleship with sonship. This often happens when sincere but misled Bible students cite passages about “picking up one's cross from the Gospel of Matthew, instead of staying within the Gospel of John. God authored the Gospel of John specifically to show the reader how to have eternal life, which is through faith alone in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ (John 3:16-18).

Salvation is all about God's grace, not your good behavior. You simply cannot be good enough to please God (Isaiah 64:6). You need to understand that you don't need to be good to enter into God's Kingdom, you must be 100% sinless and perfect. Obviously that is impossible, which is the whole reason why Jesus died on a cross 2,000 years ago—to pay our debt of sin, so that by faith we could spend eternity with Jesus (who is God). Jesus is precious!!!

The Wood Frog Freezes Solid During Winter Months

Genesis 1:21, “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Our omnipotent Creator is more than amazing! I just learned that Wood Frogs FREEZE SOLID during the winter months. Wow!

What does a hibernating wood frog look like? There is no muscle movement. No heartbeat. No breathing. For the entire winter, the wood frog is like a lump of hard, frigid, icy stone carved in the shape of a frog. But it’s alive, in a state of suspended animation.

In spring, the wood frog thaws from the inside outward. First the heart starts beating. Then the brain activates. Finally, the legs move.


That is mind blowing. God is so awesome!

Only a wicked fool would dare suggest that creation “just happened” without the genius of a divine supernatural Creator who is good, faithful, majestic and wondrous.

Psalms 19:1-3, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.”

Wicked Neo-evangelical Baptist Pastor Says: “I Am NOT A Fundamentalist”

Proverbs 4:11, “I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.”

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.”

Anybody who wrests the inspired Word of God to claim that it's okay for Christian women to wear pants in public has been INSPIRED BY DEVILS! Get right with God you neo-evangelical slackdog pastors!

When I met with Pastor Brad Moffett in his church office on April 30, 2025, he challenged my Bible preaching on social media, insisting that I show him where the Word of God says its a sin for women to wear pants. 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝟮:𝟵, “𝗜𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗹, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆; 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿, 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆.” That verse is enough to prove that it is a sin for Christian women to wear pants in public, revealing the shape of her thighs and buttocks. Brad was defending his wife's worldly pants, which I NEVER ONCE made an issue of in the 45 months that I attended their Family Baptist Church in Pensacola. THEY MADE AN ISSUE!

It was my biblical online website ministry that ate like cancer at his wife's heart, because SHE KNEW she was in the wrong to wear pants in public. The Holy Spirit was convicting her big time! So instead of repenting to do what is right, and burn the pants, she and her henpecked husband for a pastor took the low path to wickedly censure me for TELLING THE TRUTH!
It is sinful for women to wear immodest pants in public. Any clothing that reveals the form of a woman is immodest. And by the way, some thin, tight and see-through dresses are immodest too! GODLY LADIES CONCEAL; WORLDLY WOMEN REVEAL.

To add insult to injury, which is really insanity, Pastor Brad said that since a man who walks in the Spirit won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh, it doesn't matter if his wife wears pants. What a dumbass and sinful thing for a pastor to say! What planet is he living on? He sure doesn't regard the inspired Holy Bible!

Pastor Brad made sure to point out to me and my wife Alice (who was sitting next to me) that he is “NOT A FUNDAMENTALIST” Christian. I already knew that fact through and through, he didn't need to tell me:
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who defends women wearing pants in public! SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who refuses to expose Satan's corrupt Bible revisions. By the way, Brad told us that he favors the Modern English Version (MEV), which is just as corrupt as the other Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort abominations! Pastor Brad is NOT King James Bible only, nor does he think it is inspired or perfect. Shame on him! He has no right to stand in any pulpit. His father's arrogant neo-evangelical influence is toxic! SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who doesn't lead God's flock to go soulwinning on a regular basis. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who brings the world's Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) into a local church. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who kicks people out of a local church. Dr. Hyles NEVER kicked anyone out of church. Kicking someone out of a church is like kicking a wounded man who just suffered a serious car accident out the hospital door. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who defends Satan's perversions of God's inspired Word. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who wickedly bids Godspeed to infidels' like: Ken Ham, Billy and Franklin Graham, Jeff Redlin and PCC's Lordship Salvation cult, John Calvin, John Piper and Martin Luther. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who denies the verbal and plenary inspiration of the King James Bible. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who slanders Pastor Jack Hyles, FALSELY accusing him of teaching perverse things that ruined hundreds of families at Hyles-Anderson College by leading them into sexual sins and divorce. SHAME on Pastor Brad and his idiot father!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who doesn't love God's flock enough to WARN THEM, to earnestly contend for the faith which once was delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3). SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who has no interest in a Church Bus Ministry. Pastor Brad and his fool for a father wouldn't even go pick up a blind woman with the church van. She had to pay for an Uber. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who refuses to preach! Bible studies are nice, but Bible preaching is the heart of a church. SHAME!
  • No pastor is a fundamentalist who disregards TRUTH-TELLERS like me and Tom (who was kicked out by Pastor Brad for wisely telling him he should be warning people about the Devil's corrupt bibles). SHAME!
No Sir, you are NOT A FUNDAMENTALIST, and you didn't need to tell us that sad fact, because we already fully knew it. Your shameful neo-evangelical ministry reveals your woeful lack of Christian character, indifference, wrong attitude and perverting of the truth. SHAME!

He got into Deuteronomy 22:5, where the Bible forbids a woman from wearing men's clothing. he brushed that Scripture aside under the bus, dismissing it as mere ceremonial law. Folks, God's commandment for women NOT to wear men's clothing is a moral issue, not a ceremonial one. Unreal. SHAME!

Then, like the wicked abortions who always bring up the alleged (never once documented) woman with a coat-hanger incident in a back alley, Pastor Brad mentioned that Scottish men wear female kilts, so that somehow makes it okay for his worldly wife to wear her sexy pants. This is how low spiritually today's shameful neo-evangelical Baptist pastors have sunk in insanity. SHAME!

We Are Living In An Unethical Society Today

Matthew 7:12, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”

When we lay the axe to the root of the matter, “ethics is really just treating other people the way we would like to be properly treated.

As an example of poor ethics. Me and my wife a few months ago scheduled an appointment at Pep Boys in Pensacola to have our air-conditioning looked at on our car. We arrived 10 minutes early before our scheduled appointment. The female service manager said we would have to wait about 5 hours, because they were unusually busy that day. I kindly reminded her that we were not walk-ins, this was a scheduled appoint. She rudely said that it didn't matter, because it was 'First Come First Serve.' So me and Alice kindly left frustrated.

As soon as we got home, I checked my computer and saw a highly offensive email from Pep Boys which deceitfully read, “We're sorry that you couldn't make your appointment,” which made me angry. I was already frustrated that Pep Boys failed to honor the appointment which we had made several days earlier, but now they're going to blame us for their incompetence? That pissed me off! I immediately filed a complaint with their corporate management about being ethical to honor their promises. Thankfully, the response was favorable and the store got into trouble for mistreating us. Folks, an appointment is a promise!

I could write for hours about all of the unethical behavior I see in business, Bible colleges, churches and medical clinics today, which places disgust me to say the least. I took Alice to Baskin-Robbins a few month ago. The African American female employee was talking on her cell phone, ignoring us. We waited and waited. Although I am bold in my preaching, Alice is actually more bold than I am in public. She spoke up and asked if the employee was going to serve us, or continue talking on the phone. The lazy woman finally started to help us, but then she didn't even know the names of the unmarked tubs of ice cream.

Another employee, an African American male, from the combined Dunkin Donuts business actually came over and named the ice-cream for her. He deserves a raise; she should be fired! Then, to our disgust, the stupid woman was still talking on her cellphone and Alice suggested to me that we leave, so we walked out the door with our dignity. I also filed complaints online against that Baskin Robbins, and gave them the worst reviews.

Sadly, there are literally MILLIONS of negative reviews online against unethical businesses today, so much so, that nobody seems to really care anymore about the complaints. I mean, I went to see how many complaints have been field against Amazon.com and found 50,000 complaints! Yikes! I also have personally been horrible mistreated and abused by Amazon.com, who have outsources all of their operations to foreign countries. Even when I wrote a complaint letter to their headquarters in Washington state, I got a response from a foreign country. It seems that Amazon has people employed in India, the Philippians and South Africa to handle their customers. There is no way to contact upper management!

Businesses today crap on consumers! Hardly anybody cares about doing what is right anymore. I recently ordered the latest upgrade to Band-in-a-Box (BIAB) for my music. I had previously purchased their 2022 edition, so I wanted the latest Real Audio files for my collection. The company never shipped my order, but they took my money. I called weeks later and asked what was going on. They said they couldn't determine if I had previously purchased a product from them to qualify for a discount. I had forgotten to login using my previous email, so they didn't recognize me. But what upset me was that no one bothered to contact me about the issue. They just took my money and forgot about me. How was I supposed to know? That is so unethical of PG Music.

So, I contacted them and we got the issue corrected. But then weeks passed and I hadn't received the external USB hardrive that I ordered from PG Music (the creators of Band-in-a-Box software) with the files stored on it. I run BIAB off the hardrive to save space on my computer. I contacted PG Music again, to see what the problem was now. They told me that the Post Office in Canada is on strike. I again asked them kindly why no one from their company ever bothered to tell me anything. The agent online refused to answer me. Jerks! Someone should have been diligent to inform me (after they gladly took my money) that I wouldn't receive the product that I had already paid for, because there was a problem.

Folks, this is exactly what I am talking about. Companies today are very unethical in the way they do business. I am sharing these bad experiences with you in hope that you won't be that kind of horrible person. As Christians it matters how we treat people! And you better believe that God almighty cares too! Jesus Himself gave us 'THE GOLDEN RULE' in Matthew 7:12, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” I'm not talking about innocently making mistakes. I'm talking about people who just don't care. You don't get what you expect in life, you get what you inspect. The most important job is the one that doesn't get done.

I hate Microsoft, who for years now have been rebooting my computer during the night without my permission. I have tried to stop Microsoft by disabling updates, but you cannot stop them. If I had the power, I wouldn't just fine Microsoft for bullying their customers, I'd put their CEO and other top company officials who sectioned this thuggery into prison for a very long time. What Microsoft is doing is extremely unethical. They have no right to cause me to lose hundreds of hours of work, by rebooting my computer without my consent. I hate Microsoft!

On another sad note, go type “professional banjo” into a search engine and see what comes up! I just did that on 'Duck Duck Go' and the first banjos that came up cost less than $200. Folks, if you know anything about banjos and musical instruments in general, then you KNOW that there's absolutely no chance of purchasing a professional banjo for under $200.

As another example of unethical behavior, on this shady website the webpage author is recommending his best pick for banjos, but look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage...
* For the links marked with a star, we receive a commission on a purchase.
Not surprisingly, the very first banjo that he lists has an asterisk symbol by it, meaning that he gets paid a commission if you purchase the banjo. I hate that type of shady advertising. Dear reader, you simply cannot nor should you trust anyone who is recommending buying something that will pay them a commission, because you have no way of knowing if their recommendation is sincere or biased in greed. I think there should be a law which prohibits anyone from recommending buying anything in which they have a financial interest. It is serious Conflict of Interest. 

That is why I hate and stopped using the corrupt Better Business Bureau (BBB) decades ago, because they accept donations from local businesses, which absolutely is a conflict of interest and should be illegal. And yes, I have been burned by the BBB. I was cheated of due justice by the BBB in Colorado years ago. They sided with a shady local company which was clearly in the wrong regarding something I had ordered fro them. Thankfully, my credit card company got all my money back. I will never use the corrupt BBB again! The government should prevent the BBB, or any other alleged citizen protection agency, from accepting donations from anyone that mighty bias their decisions. The BBB is extremely unethical.

Why is there so much unethical behavior today in America? I humbly believe it is because of our society's woeful lack of faith and gratitude toward God, our Creator. That is why things are so bad these days in the world. Treating others with respect, fairness and love begins and ends with Christian faith and the fear of God.

And sadly, in an article about the woeful lack of ethics (doing what is right) in American society today, one couldn't leave off the epidemic of pathetic churches and Bible colleges today, who blaspheme the inspired Word of God. Nearly every so-called Bible college today denies that we have a perfect and inspired King James Bible. Tragically, since 2008 this also includes the college where I graduated from in 1993, Hyles-Anderson College. Pastor Jack Schaap in 2008 sinfully CHANGED the doctrinal position of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Since the church owns and controls Hyles-Anderson College, now the college now is also corrupt.

A man that I greatly admire is Dr. Russell Anderson (1931-2023), who was so hurt and angry with the church's departure from the inspiration of the King James Bible, that he official demanded in a stern letter to Pastor John Wilkerson that his name be removed from Hyles-Anderson College. Legally there was nothing that Dr. Anderson could do to have his name removed, so they refused his request.

Brother Anderson donated the necessary money to start Hyles-Anderson College in 1972, for which I for one am eternally grateful, without whose support to create the Bible college my website ministry wouldn't even exist. SHAME on the carnal leaders of First Baptist Church of Hammond. SHAME! Listen to Dr. Jack Hyles himself (who was their long time pastor from 1959 to 2001indict Pastor Jack Schaap and his accomplices. They messed with God's Word! 

I know that Brother Hyles in Heaven is very hurt and saddened by the church's departure from the inspiration of the King James Bible, but he's not surprised. Dr. Hyles foretold that this would happen in ten years, and he was exactly right...
“The biggest split that has ever come will come in the next ten years, if not sooner, over the King James Bible - and it couldn't come soon enough for me. I'm tired of colleges and universities advertising that they 'use' the King James Bible - tell the whole story! Tell everyone that you do not believe that it is inspired word for word.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, from the Wednesday night Bible study titled, “Revelation to Illumination” (1998)
You couldn't make this up if you tried. You just read what Dr. Hyles said in 1998, that in 10 years there would be the biggest split ever over the verbal inspiration of the King James Bible. Who would have thought that exactly 10 years later in 2008, Brother Hyles own son-in-law Jack Schaap would be the one to cause the split? I love Brother Schaap as one of my former Bible professors at Hyles-Anderson College, but he really dropped the ball for God in this matter of the verbal inspiration of the King James Bible.

It was at Pastor's School in 2008 where he shocked the fundamentalist Baptist world with his new corrupt position on the Bible. And sadly, worst of all, still today the ministries in Hammond and Crownpoint, Indiana, deny the verbal word-for-word inspiration of the King James Bible. It is heartbreaking. Mark my words, in time the church and college will go the apostate way as Bob Jones University and Pensacola Christian College, preaching the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. The surest way to change for the worst is to stop contending for the faith. Whatever a pastor stops preaching against is what his church will fill up with in 5 years!

Jesus in a rhetorical statement in Luke 18:8, clearly implied that there won't be much faith when He returns to earth in the future. There are covetous, greedy, dishonest, shady, thieves everywhere today! 2nd Thessalonians 3:2, And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

Without Love Nothing Else Matters

1st Corinthians 13:1-3, “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.”

The Apostle Paul gives us four things that become ineffective without love:

  1. A gifted writer or orator is ineffective without LOVE.
  2. A learned Bible scholar is ineffective without LOVE.
  3. Someone with great faith in God is ineffective without LOVE.
  4. Doing many wonderful works is ineffective without LOVE.
The old adage is true: People don't care what you know, until they know that you care.

Paul said that even if he possessed gifted oratory skills or the tongues of angels, it would merely sound like noise if there were no love. That reminds me of a 1969 Charlie Brown special where the teacher's calls out Linus and Charlie Brown: “Wah Wa Wa Wah Wa Wa.” When a pastor backslides spiritually to the shameful point that he is merely going through the motions three times a week, playing church, he has become ineffective for God.

Unlike 99% of churches, pastors and Bible colleges today, Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) had a heart for hurting people. ...

“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

Dr. Hyles was talking about cold-hearted places like Bob Jones University and Pensacola Christian College, cesspools of neo-evangelical apostasy and sin. Case in point is the shameful fact that I found not one, two, or even three, but FOUR different plans of salvation at PCC! This just proves that doctrinal integrity doesn't matter at PCC, making money does. Today's spiritually dead Bible colleges and churches woefully lack God's love for sinners.

At PCC and their ungodly Campus Church the SYSTEM always comes first, but individual PEOPLE don't matter. There is no love. People are expendable, as I found out in 2022 when their wicked pastor Jeff Redlin banned me from attending Campus Church. Ichabod (the glory of the Lord is departed) is written over their doors at Pensacola Christian College. Woe unto the wicked leaders at PCC! Sadly, my fundamentalist Bible preaching against the religious CULT at PCC is a laughing matter to them, for which God will avenge me (Galatians 1:6-9, 6:7). Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”


The Beam In Their Eye At Pensacola Christian College

When I attended Hyles-Anderson College (HAC) between 1985 to 1993 (I graduated in 1993 with honors and a degree in Pastoral Theology), I heard Pastor Hyles preach against the neo-evangelical camp, but I didn't really understand what he meant. That was 35 years ago!

Today, I fully understand what Brother Hyles was trying to warn us about (Weathering The Storm, preached in 1989). I have been at war since 2014 with the ungodly neo-evangelicals in the demonic Bob Jones University (BJU) camp, with their Devil's Bible revisions and Lordship Salvation counterfeit gospel.

I was on the front lines at the shameful Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (all theologically incompetent BJU alumni), whose former longtime pastor Marty Herron should be rotting in prison for all of the lives that he destroyed with his theological lies and calloused heart toward hurting people. Herron is an utter disgrace as a church pastor, who ought not be allowed to come anywhere near young people. I painfully learned that TELLING THE TRUTH is a crime at Harvest Baptist Church. Their new pastor since 2018, Gary Walton, is no better than Mr. Herron—Lordship Salvation devils in the pulpit. Marty Herron ruined many people's lives, sending them to Hell with a FALSE GOSPEL!

I have also been at war with the ungodly CULT at Pensacola Christian College (PCC), whose wicked pastors are also abusive toward hurting people. They do NOT contend for the Christian faith in the PCC camp. Sadly, PCC preaches hardcore Lordship Salvation today, having gone down the same spiritual sewer with Pacific Garden Mission and thousands of other once doctrinally sound ministries. Like Bubonic Plague, Scarlet Fever, Ebola and COVID-19, Lordship Salvation is an infectious disease that people don't even detect until it is too late. The biggest difference is that the infectious plagues I just mentioned may kill your BODY, but Lordship Salvation will kill your SOUL in the Lake of Fire forever (Revelation 20:11-15).

I have learned that in all the bad churches that I have unfortunately attended, who were infected with Satan's lie of Lordship Salvation and wrong repentance, the pastors of those churches all woefully lacked God's love for people. Here is a list of CORRUPT churches and religious organizations which I have discovered and faithfully exposed:

  1. Harvest Baptist Church on Guam
  2. Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola, Florida
  3. Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina
  4. Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola
  5. Family Baptist Church in Pensacola
  6. Fairfield Drive Baptist Church in Pensacola
  7. Victory Baptist Church in Pensacola
  8. First Baptist Church of Pensacola
  9. Bible Baptist Church in Pensacola
  10. 'UNSHACKLED' and Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago

I have just named a handful of dangerous religious cults today who are WRONG on repentance and the Gospel. RUN from these places! BEWARE of these spiritual dung holes! 

Each and every one of these religious institutions preach ANOTHER GOSPEL, rather than free grace as the inspired King James Bible teaches. Proverbs 16:5, “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

There is a woeful LACK OF LOVE in churches today. When I pleaded with Pastor Herron to come back to church at a dark time in my life, he threw me under the bus, leaving me for dead.

When I pleaded with Pastor Jeff Redlin to just let me come back to church, that monster refused and threw me under the bus. These are wicked men, incompetent clergy, phonies in the pulpit, NOT godly men who posses Christ's love for all humanity. There are something VERY wrong spiritually with a pastor who selectively cares about people.

“You can't love anybody, until you love everybody!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “The Test Of Spiritual Maturity

Amen! The test of our spiritual faith is not how much we love Jesus, but how much we love Judas! God is not a respecter of persons, which the inspired Holy Bible makes very clear (Romans 2:11; Romans 10:12). Loving people is NOT optional in the Christian life. You don't have to LIKE people dear reader, but biblically you do have to LOVE them!

Jesus plainly taught in the story of the Good Samaritan that all humanity are my neighbours. That doesn't mean we should allow tens of millions of illegal aliens to sneak into our country, and then be forced to feed, cloth, school, hospitalize and house them with taxpayer money. Jesus was simply teaching that we should be fair (just) with all men, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Matthew 7:12, Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Galatians 6:3, “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” I know that I am a nobody, but Jesus is God and I know that I am somebody to Him (1st Peter 5:7). Jesus is the Christ, who died on a cross in my place 2,000 years ago to pay my debt of sin (and yours), so that by faith I could spend eternity with Him. THANK YOU LORD!

The inspired Word of God warns that we will be serving God in vain if we do it without genuine love for people. It is tragic that 99% of pastors today couldn't care less about hurting, difficult, poor or undesirable people. In sharp contrast, Jesus cared about a grieving woman. He cared about a dying thief on a cross. Jesus cared about a blind man. The Lord cared about a sick leper, a man with palsy, a curious Pharisee named Nicodemus, and a hungry crowd of thousands who followed Him. Jesus cares!

If you have faith in God to please Him (Hebrews 11:6), then you must believe this. 2nd Corinthians 8:9, ”For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” That is love. Jesus is our divine example, who died on a cross to pay for the sins of the vilest of criminals, haters and evil people. THANK YOU JESUS!

Love is caring. Love is thinking. That is, when you take time to think about someone else—their burdens and their needs, their problems and pain, and then you pray for them—that is love. Love inspires us to be kind, gentle, generous, forgiving and fair toward others. I have found so little of God's love in today's pathetic churches. What I do see is the love of money!

Dear reader, you'll never be any closer to God than you love others. It is impossible to draw close to God while hating anyone. Even Jesus called Judas Iscariot, the man who had just betrayed Him to be crucified, “Friend (Matthew 26:50). Christ forgave the men who had just used rusty spikes to nail Him to a splintered wooden cross (Luke 23:34).

In my humble opinion, the pastors who don't care about right doctrine, the accuracy of the Holy Bible and the purity of the Gospel—neither do they care about suffering people. Sadly, we've got a bunch of yuppie type Richie Rich snobs for pastors nowadays who don't hesitate to throw people under the bus. By God's grace, may we not be like that.

When I attended the Family Baptist Church in Pensacola for 45 months, NOT ONCE did any of the pastors ask for my story, try to get to know me, or even bother to initiate a single conversation with me. SHAME ON BRAD AND BOBBY MOFFETT! They have no business calling themselves “pastors. They are parasites, mooching off of Christianity (Romans 16:17-18). That clearly shows they don't care, nor do they possess God's love for others.

THE TRUTH is that they hate Pastor Jack Hyles and my website ministry because we are FUNDAMENTALISTS. They held a grudge against me in their hearts for the entire 45 months that I sincerely attended their church, but I didn't realize what was going on until the end, when they cruelly kicked me and my wife out. You see, when you do what is right, those who are living in wickedness will despise and reject you. Those pastor's wives both wear worldly pants in public, blaspheming the Word of God by their wickedness.

Those ungodly pastors are neo-evangelical false prophets. I regret that I ever went to their church. They are wrong on Bible repentance, thus, they are wrong on God's simple plan of salvation. In my desperation as God's child to be part of a church family, I tolerated their Lordship Salvation heresy, their approval of Satan's Bibles, and their total lack of soulwinning. In the end, we got burned! They are hateful people, woefully lacking Christ's unfeigned love.

I have learned my lesson and will NEVER again attend any church that is wrong on repentance, wrong on the Gospel, or that uses the Devil's Bible perversions!!! If that means staying home on Sundays, then so be it, praise God! Nowhere does the Holy Bible command believers to attend a corrupted church that is actually a religious CULT. The shameful Laodicean church in Revelation 3:15-17 was a backslidden church, but they had the Gospel correct. Any so-called church that is wrong on repentance and the Gospel has been BEWITCHED (Galatians 3:1-3); and thus, cannot be considered a legitimate church. IT IS A THEOLOGICAL CULT!!!

There is a correlation between caring about doctrine and caring about people. That is because if you care, you care; and if you don't care, you don't care. It is not reasonable to expect a contemptible loser like Jeff Redlin at PCC's Campus Church, who couldn't care less about right doctrine, then care about people. They guy just doesn't care!

That is why the old adage is true: Cleanliness is next to godliness. Do you know why that is a true adage? It is because cleanliness and godliness both require CARING. If you choose as God's child to walk in the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25), it is because you care to do so. You want to please God and live right because you care. Wicked people don't care.

You show me a pastor who shuns, kicks out and ostracizes undesirable people from a church, and I'll guarantee you that he is also messed up in his doctrines! Why? It is simply because HE DOESN'T CARE!!! Love is caring. Love is thinking about others because you care. Love is thinking about God because you care. Love is thinking how to apply the inspired Holy Bible to your daily life because you care. If you don't care, you don't care, and that's that! But don't ever think that God will sanction, go along with or make use of your life with that poor attitude.

When I attended the shameful Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola in 2024, I wondered why Sunday after Sunday the main auditorium was 85% empty all the time. After several months I got my answer. The pastor, Bill Adams, and his mean wife are cold-hearted jerks. I felt zero love from from either of them in the 8 months that I attended their cult. 

I kindly but truthfully say “cult because they also preach the Satanic lie that you must be willing to repent and turn away from your sinful bad habits to be saved, which is NOT the Gospel as taught in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola also distributes toxic Chick Tracts, which ADD being willing to turn from your sins to faith, which again is NOT God's simple plan of salvation.

You're only as much like Jesus as you care.

The Words Of A Hellbound Fool

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.

I found this blasphemous video today on YouTube, in which a foolish young woman named Christy attacks God. She says she grew up Baptist, and then falsely claims she “used to be a Christian”; but in fact Christy never was a child of God, because once you are saved you are always saved. She is a still child of the Devil. The following horrible video has so far received over 1,000,000 views on YouTube, slandering God and the inspired Holy Bible. ...

5 Bible Passages That Caused Me To Lose My Faith

Here is my unedited reply (comment) to her video on YouTube...
Kindly said, you were never a Christian as you claim. I have been a fundamentalist Baptist since I became a born again Christian at age 13 in 1980. I feel so sorry for you Christy. One day you will be horrified when you realize the wickedness of the blasphemous things you are saying toward God. This is such a shameful video. And you are wickedly selling merchandise that promotes your AntiChrist views. You will someday regret your words friend. 
You are wresting the inspired Word of God through a filter of your own finite knowledge. There are good answers for all of your alleged injustices in the Bible. For example: In your third accusation against God regarding in Deuteronomy 22;28, you are quoting from the corrupt New International Version (NIV). The word "rap_" is incorrect. Nothing in the original Hebrew word suggests forced intercourse. We all know of a young woman with rose-colored glasses who fell in love with a bum, who took her and had his intimate fun with her, and then cast her aside like garbage and moved on to his next victim. This is what God is trying to prevent in Deuteronomy 22;28, holding the man accountable. What you fail to acknowledge is that the same inspired Holy Bible you condemn requires the death penalty for a man who assaults a woman. So, kindly said, your understanding of God's Word is very wrong. 
Regarding John 3;16, you sinfully slander God by saying "if he were a smart God" he wouldn't require humans to "believe" on His only begotten Son Jesus to obtain eternal life. In your flawed thinking, God is not "smart" for eternally rewarding us for believing on Jesus. But what you fail to understand is that you are a guilty sinner, and so was I before I received Christ's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for my sins. We justly deserve to burn in Hell for our own sins, which is THE TRUTH whether you believe it or not. When people sin and commit acts of evil, God sees it all and promises repeatedly in His Word to hold humans individually accountable to punish the wicked. God in His love has made a way of escape through faith in Jesus Christ. 
You are wrong to judge God based on your flawed human reasoning. Do you realize Jezebel that you're condemning the omnipotent God who created trillions of galaxies by the mere Word of His mouth? It is God who gave you life in your mother's womb and who keeps you breathing. It is God who gives you the food you eat, and the good health to enjoy His blessings. God is a good God. Just because you don't understand everything in the inspired Holy Bible doesn't give you a right to place God on trial. 
You foolishly chuckle and speculate that God is wrong to allow good people to burn in the Lake of Fire forever for not believing on Christ, but you fail to understand that there are no "good people." We are all wicked sinners in the sight of our holy Creator. You don't have to be "good" to enter into Heaven, you must be 100% perfect. Obviously that is impossible. That is why Christ died on a cross 2,000 years ago for all humanity, so that anyone through faith in His death, burial and resurrection can have eternal life. This is the Gospel, by which WHOSOEVER believes it is saved (1st Corinthians 15;1-6, Romans 1;16). 
The truth is that you don't reject the inspired Holy Bible for any of the reasons you cited; but rather, because you are bitter against your Creator for some reason. Perhaps someone hurt you in the past. I have been deeply hurt and wronged by some ungodly Baptist pastors myself, but that is not God's fault. I hate organized religion and am against 99% of today's pathetic churches, but our Creator is a good and faithful God.  You are foolishly rejecting 1,189 chapters in the King James Bible based on a half dozen passages that you disagree with. That is not wise. 
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.” There's room at the cross for you too Christy.

Why Do “Chick Tracts” Present Two Different Plans Of Salvation?

Galatians 1:6-8, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

On their popular Chick.com ministry website, their official Statement of Faith reads:
Salvation is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, the gift of eternal life, and adoption as children of the heavenly Father. Union with the triune God provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. The gift of salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit. SOURCE
Now here is a different plan of salvation, presented on the back page of every Chick Tract...

'This Was Your Life' (page 23)

Whoa-Horsie! Something is very wrong here! Way wrong! The plan of salvation on their Chick.com website says we are saved by FAITH ALONE; but the plan of salvation presented in well over one billion Chick Tracts says you must BE WILLING TO TURN FROM SIN, INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR HEART and PRAY A PRAYER. That is very different than salvation by faith alone. I hope you see the utter hypocrisy folks!

There is only one of two possible logical conclusions why they are doing this which is either:
  1. The people who presently run the Chick Track organization do NOT agree with the perverse theology of its founder Jack Chick (1924-2016), but are concerned about the public backlash if they change their published plan of salvation 65 years later.
  2. They are deceitfully playing both sides of the fence to appease everyone, and don't really believe any of it; they're just in it for the money.
Why else would they have two different plans of salvation? You decide dear reader, but you cannot glibly walk away after reading this disturbing contradiction and honestly say that there is no problem. What saith the Scripture? ...
Galatians 3:1-3, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
You get saved dear reader by 'THE HEARING OF FAITH,' not by doing the works of the law (aka, turning from your sinning). That is, when you HEAR it preached, you get saved by putting your FAITH in the GOOD NEWS (GOSPEL) of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen the third day. SHAME on Jack Chick and his accomplices for perverting the verbally inspired Word of God. They have perverted the Gospel of free grace! RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!

Pensacola Christian College Also Preaches Multiple Conflicting Plans of Salvation

Pensacola Christian College has the same incompetence problem today, presenting four different plans of salvation to confuse their students and the local community. Why do they have four different plans of salvation? Why are they so carless and reckless with the Gospel? Whereas the Apostle Paul plainly defines “the gospel in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6, and warns us that there are no other gospels, corrupt organizations like PCC and Chick.com are preaching MULTIPLE contradictory plans of salvation. Woe unto them all when they answer to God!

I was banned by PCC's leaders in 2022 from ever attending their church again, because I faithfully took a stand against their corruption, lies and heresy. I can truthfully say with all biblical authority and propriety—GOD DAMN PENSACOLA CHRISTIAN COLLEGE TO HELL!

Sadly, I can say the same thing about Chick.com and their toxic Chick Tracts that poison lost sinner's minds with a counterfeit plan of salvation. The fact that Chick Tracks do get read as eye-candy makes them all that much more theologically dangerous.

You'd be shocked dear reader, if you knew how many lost sinners didn't get saved simply because they weren't willing to give up some sinful bad habit(s) in their life. Folks, that is NOT the Gospel taught in the inspired King James Bible. Christ went to the cross of Calvary to pay for your sins and mine. God doesn't demand that you first be willing to reform your life of sin, to clean yourself up, before He will give you His free gift of eternal life through faith alone in Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:9). PCC and Chick Tracks have it WRONG!!!

We Must Expose False Teachers On The Gospel

If you care dear friend, then please help me warn others about these corrupt institutions. ...
Titus 1:10, “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”

Please take notice especially of that last phrase, “commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” Lordship Salvation is a commandment of men. That is, it is a manmade doctrine and not biblical truth. Repenting of your sins to get to Heaven is a manmade commandment of men that is not found in the verbally inspired Word of God. Neither is praying a sinner's prayer, inviting Jesus into your heart, becoming a Christ follower, getting water baptized or surrendering to Jesus as “Lord of one's life required to be saved. You may do all of these things and yet never have been born again, without which you cannot enter into God's Kingdom (John 3:1-7).

Please BEWARE of Chick Tracts. RUN from them as fast as you can, because they could send you to Hell forever. Thank you friend for reading my ministry blog. Jesus is precious!!!

Please understand dear reader that I do not enjoy being labeled as the troublemaker all the time. Wicked king Ahab called the prophet Elijah a troublemaker. 1st Kings 18:17, “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?Elijah told Ahab that it was he and his wicked family who were the troublemakers. 1st Kings 18:18, “And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.”

All of these lying FALSE PROPHETS today—PCC, Chick.com, Pacific Garden Mission's 'UNSHACKLED' broadcast, Bob Jones University, Billy and Franklin Graham, Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, John MacArthur and Joel Osteen (to name but a few with their damnable Lordship Salvation heresy) are accursed by God almighty! I assure you with all biblical authority that Hell will be hot enough!

Just like ungodly Roman Catholics who indict themselves for IDOLATRY when they erase the Second of God's Ten Commandments from the Holy Bible, so also does Chick.com indict themselves for CORRUPTING GOD'S WORD when they preach TWO DIFFERENT PLANS OF SALVATION. They're admitting to everyone that something is amuck at Chick.com. The very fact that they have two separate conflicting plans of salvation speaks volumes as to their religious scrupulosity, incompetence and guilt. RIGHT DOCTRINE MATTERS!!!

Every Born Again Christian Has A License To Sin

1st Romans 6:1, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, l...
