With the US government shutdown running into it’s record length, one has to wonder is it real at all? Is it just another shell game to fool the masses, to expand corruption, to instill fear that we lose our precious way of life here in America? It begs the question in this wicked and apostate age is anything in the human experience anymore actually genuine? Here are a list of things in this world that come into questions about what is authentic: 1. Truth 2. Love 3. Family 4. Information 5. Government 6. Education 7. Medicine-Science 8. Sexuality 9 Money 10. NASA 11. ad infinitum-nauseum.
Jesus is the TRUTH, God is LOVE, God designed the FAMILY structure, the Holy Bible instructs us with righteous INFORMATION, Jesus is the KING of kings, the only true, righteous, and good GOVERNMENT, God wants to EDUCATE us and our progeny, Jesus is our HEALER the only true medicine, God designed NORMAL SEXUALITY between a man and a woman in holy matrimony, the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil, NASA is full of lies about God’s cosmology and creation.
In all of these areas the church, I mean all true Christians, have become sugar and darkness instead of salt and light! They have feared men instead of God, hidden the true Gospel under a bush, and failed miserably in being effectual for the true ministry of Jesus Christ. Thus God’s Word is proven true about our nation and the god we have made up for ourselves collectively.
Matt 5:13-16 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
If we are to preach and proclaim the truth of Christianity to a lost and wicked world what is the standard by which we make such claims on absolute truth? This FB article by Jesse Boyd was so filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost I had to share it! Church REPENT!
by Jesse Boyd Those of you who claim the name of Christ and lightly esteem the written Word of God, BEWARE. Those like wicked pastors out there who claim to love God and to love people and yet mock the Bible, BEWARE. The written Word of God is not just a book, it’s not some antiquated diatribe. It’s a giant spiritual BEAR TRAP, so beware. After all, HE (see Hebrews 4:13–“neither is there anything that is not manifest in HIS sight”) can DISCERN (Hebrews 4:12); HE can SEE with x-ray vision (Hebrews 4:13); HE can RAISE UP people out of the dust for the sole purpose of judgment (Romans 9:17); HE can FORESEE and PREACH details about the future long before they happen (Galatians 3:8); HE can BREAK in pieces (Jeremiah 23:29) and HE inevitably leads people to saving faith (Romans 10:17).
In the wilderness, Israel waxed fat, grew thick, and lightly esteemed the Rock of her salvation (Deuteronomy 32:15). Have we Christians here in America done the same, making our feelings, whether or not we “have a peace” about something, and our “convictions” the authority over and above the Written Word of the Living God? Without the Holy Bible inspired by God and perfectly preserved for us in a language we can understand, we spoiled Americans wouldn’t even know the Lord and Saviour and what He wants us to do, let alone who He is.
You say the rallying point, the common ground, is the person of Jesus Christ. But which Christ? The Catholic Christ who can’t deal with you directly? The Mormon Christ who is the spirit child of an alien from the planet “Kolob” and has a brother named Satan? The Charismatic Christ who changes with the wind and wouldn’t dare offend a Jesuit priest or a lesbian with the truth? The Emergent Christ who appeases the wicked and yet despises His own Body (i.e. the church)? The Postmillennial Christ who has no tangible throne and can only speak in dark allegories that a select few can understand? The Muslim Christ who didn’t really die on a cross? The Christ of Judaism who has never even been to this earth? The Hindu Christ who survived the crucifixion and is buried somewhere in Kashmir? The Baptist Fundamentalist Christ who cares more about whether or not you attend every Sunday and Wednesday service than if you love your brethren, preach the Gospel, and obey the Great Commission? The Methodist Christ who said homosexuality is a sin and that women are not to pastor churches, but he was really only joking? The Buddhist Christ who was absorbed into nothingness? The Lutheran Christ who checks off confirmation class attendance? The Presbyterian Christ who died for a select few that were sprinkled with water? The Christ of the Church of Christ who begats with water instead of with the Holy Ghost? The Southern Baptist Christ who entertains and performs? The Abolitionist Christ who cares more about abortion and frozen embryos than going into all the world and preaching the Gospel to every creature? The Replacement Christ who can’t keep promises? The Reformed Christ who venerates men? Which is it? Which Christ are you talking about? That’s easy, whatever you make Him out to be . . . UNLESS you rally around the BOOK that declares exactly who HE is and what HE wants from you.
Without the written Word of God as the center of Christian fellowship and the final authority in matters of faith and practice, all such fellowship is a ultimately a facade and a farce.
The HOLY BIBLE–the divinely inspired, perfect preserved, saint-used, time-tested, words of the Living God and the ABSOLUTE MONARCH of all BOOKS. O BIBLIOS, THE BOOK!
And, in the BOOK it is written: “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said” (Matthew 28:6). Moreover, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore . . .” (Matthew 28:18-19).
Saints, we have started our ‘holiday’ season preaching last Black Friday in Louisville at the Light Up Louisville Xmas tree lighting ceremony revelry. We have been preaching there many years and were blessed again to lift up our voices for Jesus, and to be reviled for the truths that we preach from the Bible which is in such marked contrast to American culture and ‘churches’.
Today, Dec 1st, Bros Marvin Heiman and Joshua will head out to Columbia, Ky to preach at their small Christmass parade event. We have always been given great favor using banners and small amplifiers to preach to our local community.
Tomorrow Bro Joshua and I will head out to Glasgow, Ky to preach at their local Xmass parade event. Last year the city was set on it’s head with the truths of the Bible they obviously have not been hearing in their ‘churches’. I will share here some of the media and events that happened after that fateful night of exciting preaching on the public square in that city.
Daniel Rusk Beaten in Glasgow
Br. Daniel had only preached for some 15 minutes before he was beaten and I was restrained from trying to intervene on his behalf. He was subsequently arrested and charged for disorderly conduct by the police and attacker who claimed Daniel had spit upon him. We filed charges against the man the next day after Daniel was released from prison. We followed up months after Daniel’s court date and dismissal of all charges concerning the attacker. The city attorney claims the man has not shown up for court, is on the run, and they can’t locate him.
In Kentucky, we have all manners of Xmass parades in multitudes of small towns that we can’t even keep up with all of them. I exhort everyone to get out there to make the message of Christ, known among the heathen in your Jerusalem, your Samaria, and the outer parts of the world.
God bless you.
Major Turnaround: CARM’s Matt Slick Concedes On God Not Being Outside Of Time
by Bob Enyart
blogged by Jesus Preacher 12/30/2017
In the two weeks before his debate with Will Duffy (between Nov. 15 and Dec. 1, 2017) Matt Slick made a major turnaround in his Calvinism and a huge concession to open theism. As a popular theologian, he now rejects the position he has had held for decades, namely, the settled-view belief that God exists outside of time.
CARM.org, Slick’s website, has many repeated statements claiming (erroneously) that God is outside of time. (His videos say likewise.) Yet in his opening statement, Will Duffy established by the Incarnation that God does not exist outside of but lives inside of time. In response to that, Matt Slick stated, thankfully but shockingly, “I don’t say that God is outside of time. I don’t say that God exists in an eternal now.”
That is a major turnaround for this popular Calvinist. A Dec. 27, 2017 Google search of his CARM website shows that the phrase “outside of time” appears 44 times on Matt’s site including in articles that he has written, updated, or posted recently. For example:
carm.org/did-god-create-himself by Matt Slick: “…we do not relate to God in His time frame… He exists outside of our time reference. He exists [present tense]… before He created [the universe]. Therefore, the issue of eternity, which deals with time, does not apply to God because God is outside of time.” Contrary to such philosophy, the Bible repeatedly applies eternity to God. See kgov.com/time#everlasting. Matt goes on to wrongly argue that God cannot cross an infinite amount of time. This is false because He has and we demonstrate that at kgov.com/time#crossing-infinity. Also, consulting archive.org it appears that this article also was written or at least posted online in 2016, and not 22 years ago as Matt had stated in the debate.
Why Did Slick Misstate When He Changed His View? Matt misstated the timing of when he changed his view to obscure the historic significance of his paradigm shift. If it had been decades prior to this debate when he rejected the belief that God was outside of time, then he could argue that adopting this new view, dramatic as it is, had nothing to do with the persuasiveness of open theism. However, he changed his position while he was watching and reading Will Duffy’s and Bob Enyart’s open theism debates during his two weeks of preparation to meet Mr. Duffy. It would have been a beautiful display of humility (and still would be) for Matt Slick to say, “I had always taught that God exists outside of time, but these open theists have encouraged me to reconsider that doctrine in light of the Incarnation, and I’ve realized that, at least on this point, they must be correct. God cannot exist outside of time.”
carm.org/logical-refutation-open-theism by Matt Slick and first appears at archive.org in 2011: “Time exists… as a relationship to things that change” and Matt claims that God is utterly immutable, that is, that He does not change. Thus by his description, God would be outside of time. Matt continued, “God is not restricted by nor contained within time, nor is He restricted by a continuous succession of events from the past, through the present, and into the future, nor is time an attribute of God’s nature. … time is not a part of God and God is not restricted by time. … we can see that God cannot be restricted by time and is outside of it.” In the debate with Mr. Duffy, Slick also conceded to open theism that God acts in sequence. Yet in this article, he wrote, though it is a non-sequitur, “If we stated that God exists relative to time, then God exists as a sequence of events”. He thereby concludes again that God must not exist relative to time. (But see kgov.com/time.) Matt also present a false definition: “time is a sequence of events”. And then he writes, though the sentence contradicts itself, “God has always existed and continues to exist outside of time…” He concludes then, wrongly, “past, present, and future… are irrelevant to God’s nature and existence since He exists outside of time.”
carm.org/if-god-all-knowing-and-he-knows-our-future-then-how-free-will by Matt Slick [this article or its posting may be rather new for it has not yet been “crawled” by archive.org] “…God is outside of time. Our question deals with a situation from a perspective inside of time where[as] God is outside of time.”
carm.org/does-god-have-body by Matt Slick [this article first appearing on archive.org in 2009]: “Since God is outside of time, eternal, He could not be material.”
Eternal Now: There are fewer instances on his site for the phrase “eternal now” but one of those in in an article carm.org/atone-past-present-future by Brad Huston, “God, who is infinite, exists in the eternal ‘now’” which claim, of course, by Matt’s newfound understanding and by the Scriptures, is false.

Click on the image below for Bob Enyart’s debate with James White the founder of Alpha-Omega Ministries:
Racism works both ways for and against all manner of colored people groups. I am 7/8ths Irish and 1/8th Cherokee. I am labeled as white though my skin is darker than many ‘black’ people. Both of my ancestor groups have experienced slavery, hardships, famine, pestilence, etc. Yet, I am supposed to feel guilty because of ‘white’ privilege because I have blue eyes, light brown/grey hair and appear to be ‘white’? I know Hispanic and white people who are pretending to be black in skin, thinking, and culture. I am happily married to a Filipina who is very beautiful and golden in color. Many ask her if she is Mexican and look down upon her and our children because of the scourge of racism within. Most of our children are adopted, they are a mix of; Irish, Filipino, Mexican, Portuguese, and some other races I believe.
So, for Christians how do we deal with these important and sensitive issues of acceptance or rejections by others in or outside the body of Christ? Well, we should do it from the Bible. Here is my favorite anti racist passage in God’s Word.
Act 17:26-31And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
But, then how do we forgive the way our ancestors were treated? Also, how do we get forgiveness for the way our ancestors treated others? Well, another appeal to the Bible is surely the only answer.
Eze 18:18-21As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. 19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
So, our grandfathers or beyond who may have done heinous things to each other, bear no guilt upon us. Past sins as horrible as they may be must not be applied to our current generation of people. I am not saying we should forget what happened but to learn from it and not blame those of current generation because they are white, or black or red or any other color. This must be taught by every dad in every family in our nation or we will destroy each other. How is destroying our historical monuments and records a way of fixing the problems we face as a people, nation, and culture?
Don’t you know God loves to create using color? Look at the sunsets, or the different birds or flowers or any multitude of creatures in God’s handiwork and try and say God prefers one color over another. Have you oxymoronic ‘Christian’ racists lost your minds?
Why do so many churches polarize into color and cultural groups? Because, that’s what they are comfortable with, and I suppose it is an insipid form of racism. The kind that isn’t really seen with burning crosses, white KKK hoods, and lynchings. This kind of racism that is down low in the conscious of our people and culture. I remember when I was four or five and our mother had kidnapped us from the home we were placed in. We were on the run, and our mother in a distraught condition not knowing what to do to get some water and go to the bathroom for her three little white children pulled into a run down trailer park. I had only seen a black man once before, but this whole neighborhood was full of colored folks. Dusty roads, but neatly kept homes, about dusk our car rumbled into the park. My mom stopped and spoke to a young black woman with some children on her porch. The lady got some nice cold water for all of us from her cooler. I have never forgotten that act of kindness for a bunch of poor ‘white’ children from that woman. Why can’t we just see the value of humans beyond the % of melanin in their skin? Like we say in the open air preaching, it’s not about skin, it’s about sin! So, how does the bad of one person’s acts negate the good that another does? It doesn’t, we simply are tempted to lump people together if we have a traumatic experience.
I thought that I would touch on Martin Luther’s writing, “The Jews and their Lies.” to expose how even a patriarch of the Protestant Christian movement can be so corrupted by racism. Here from that book the following :
Final excerpts, from pages 268 to 272, horrifically prefigure Hitler and the National Socialists as Martin Luther describes what should be done to the Jews:
“First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them… Moses… would be the first to set fire to the synagogues and houses of the Jews.”
“Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed… Instead, they might be lodged under a roof or in a barn…”
“Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings… be taken from them.”
“Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life…”
My German friend stood among the stacks reading, sweating, and translating faster until, under his breath, he began reading only in German. We both noticed his hands shaking. While we had heard accusations of Luther’s anti-Semitism, the extent of the actual hatred horrified us both. Luther’s suggestions continued:
“Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the country-side… Let them stay at home.”
“Sixth, I advise… that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them…”
Then Luther adds, “let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., compute with them how much their usury has extorted from us, divide this amicably, but then eject them forever from the country.”
This filthy racism against the Jews is unwarranted and forbidden directly by New Testament teachings. Check the mysterious wisdom of God as He uses the Apostle Paul to instruct believers not to hinder from brotherhood or hate the natural branch the Jews.
Rom 11:18-36 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
I would like to deal with how certain gang, Muslim, or other racists cultures affect our culture. Gangster rap with all of it’s hideous lyrics which promote rape, drinking, drugs, dealing, greed, brawling, murder, and gang culture in general are an abomination that the black Christians need to deal with in their own communities. To the Muslims, I call you out of your hypocritical religion that won’t rebuke the jihadi but will rebuke the intolerance of westerners to accept your religious terrorism. To the racist; KKK, Black Hebrew Israelites, Alt right, alt left monsters you will give an account to the God of the Bible who made every color of mankind that you hate so much. Why do Christians have to warn their families, friends, and even enemies? Because you have a moral duty to warn your earthly fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, brothers, sisters, and cousins. Well, if you love your neighbor as Jesus taught that would extend beyond your earthly family, even unto the whole world. The Christian witness to family members and beyond is one of the most difficult things for us to do as the fear of man creeps into our hearts. See, a blogpost I did on this very idea HERE.
Also, I would like to share a view from Pastor David Manning from Harlem’s ATLAH Worldwide Church on why, “The Confederates were Right Biblically and Constitutionally About Slavery”.
Another great teaching on racism by Pastor Joe Schimmel from
Blessed Hope Chapel here:
Lastly, Jesus taught His disciples to forgive 70 X 7, which equals 490 times. Do you really think God meant for us to stop forgiving at the 491st offense? Aren’t we supposed to forgive our enemies? Do you believe that teaching of Jesus? Do you know what color all of us have in common? Blood red, that which was shed on Calvary for the sins of every tribe, tongue, and nation. It’s also the same color that runs through every human being’s veins. What’s the answer? When it comes to race we all need to claim we are the human race, created by a loving and benevolent Creator who wants us to love each other. This should be apparent to every Christian of every color. Here is a wonderful word picture of what it will be like before the throne of God with all peoples.
Rev 5:6-14And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
CMA Festival 2017 This is an Eric Church blasphemy tee that he will surely give an account to the Ancient of Days
“The New Testament knows no salvation while continuing in a state of sinful indulgence. Sin as a manner of life is always referred to in the PAST TENSE in Christians.
1Co 6:11
Such were ( past tense ) some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Eph 2:1
And you were ( past tense ) dead in your trespasses and sins,
Eph 5:8
for you were ( past tense ) formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light.
Tit 3:3
For we also once were ( past tense ) foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
Gordon Olson
SINNER or SAINT… It has been said many times by professing Christians ” I’m just a sinner saved by Grace ” It’s sad that the American pastors teaching has confused the masses with such nonsense. What they should be taught is ” We WERE ( past tense ) sinners saved by grace.
The word sinner in the Greek means, devoted to sin, not free from sin, especially wicked.
” In the NT. we are called 61 times ” Saints ” never sinners again. The word holy and Saint comes from the same Greek word ( Hagios ) which means the most holy thing, a Saint.
In 1 Peter 2:9, Peter explains what position the Saints are in.. You are a Chosen Race, a Royal priesthood, a Holy Nation ( in the Greek nation means group of people ) a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1Co 6:11
Such WERE ( past tense ) some of you; ( sinners ) but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
1 John 3:7-8… Those who practice ( those who do ) righteousness is righteous… ” A SAINT “….
Verse 8… Those who practice ( those who do sin ) sin is of the devil ” A SINNER “.
Scriptures makes it clear the difference between a Saint and sinner.
Practice in the Greek means who do sin or those who do righteousness..
If we value the sacrifice of Jesus Christ’s suffering for our sin on the cross, why do we revive the power of the serpent?
Note: There is no horizon that blocks the end of this very long straight tunnel. But, we can’t visually acquire the end through the law of diminishing perspective. This is known as vanishing point.
by John McGlone
Having studied Geocentricity and the form of the earth for about two years now, I think I am finally at peace about what I am understanding. Here are some earlier blogs I posted on this issue: 1. The Scriptural Foundation of Geocentricity 2. The Flat Earth Controversy. I thought I would begin to document some very important points that bring about a doubt on what has been taught to us by the ‘science’ of this world about Heliocentricity (Orbital Solar System) and the Globe of the Earth. Generally, we are instructed from the very beginnings of our experiences on the Universe, it’s origins, and characteristics. So, in this point paper I would like to discuss the law of linear perspective which has much to say about what and how we are seeing the world and universe around us.
Firstly, I would like to define said law of linear perspective. noun 1. amathematicalsystemforrepresentingthree-dimensionalobjectsand spaceonatwo-dimensionalsurfacebymeansofintersectinglinesthat aredrawnverticallyandhorizontallyandthatradiatefromonepoint(one-pointperspective)twopoints(two-pointperspective)or severalpointsonahorizonlineasperceivedbyaviewerimaginedin anarbitrarilyfixedposition.
Secondly, I’d like to recognize that everything we see with our eyes are mathematically and logically processed by the retina passing into the brain to continue the process of understanding the world we are seeing around us.
Here is an example I’d like to start with on our understanding of the laws of perspective in what is a very real life situation. We will be using the well known, scientific, and mathematically proven formula for the earth’s roundness based on the same ‘scientifically’ proven circumference of the planet of ~25,000 statute miles. That formula is: Distance to Horizon² X 8″/12 = rise/fall of the arc of the horizon.
1.Imagine you are flying a plane at 36,000 feet. An aerial observer can see 232.6 miles in one direction. But, from the cockpit one can observe in opposing directions gaining a total observation of 465.2 miles. For reference, here is an altitude horizon calculator for distance. Horizon Distance Calculator
465² X 8/12 = Feet of Rise and Fall that we should see on the globe. Following the well known curvature formula that is mathematically proven: 465 X 465 X 8/12 = 144,150 feet of total rise and decline of the arc across that 180 degree observation. Keep in mind we are flying at 36,000 feet. Can you imagine seeing such an interesting and different sight? For 90 degrees of the view from left to center we should see an amazing 72,075 feet of rise, then the same fall from center view to the right horizon on our starboard wing. However, since our childhoods we have all been taught that the earth is so large the curvature of the earth is minuscule from what we actually experience in day to day life.
This perplexing mathematical formula which is supposed to help us calculate the curve of the earth, does exactly the opposite when a person employs it without accepting the presupposition of a globe earth to distort their sight.
Now with all the aforesaid information in mind, why don’t we see the curvature that the globe formula demands if it were true? As the below picture does not show, we should see a mountain of water climbing up to over twice the altitude of this plane to a majestic height of 72,075 feet above the median sea level!
A great photo of someone trying to disprove the flatness of the earth, yet helping the cause immensely.
I served 21 years in the U.S. Navy sailing the world’s oceans and looking at that horizon perspective for many tens of thousands of long hours standing watch. I was a lookout, helmsman, and navigator for most all of those years. I never questioned the rotundity of the earth as I had been taught since grade school. I had these ideas reinforced in my navigational training as well. I worked with mostly Mercator projection charts to safely transit the Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indian, Persian, Adriatic, and Pacific oceans and seas. One of the often used arguments that prevented me from believing this flat earth ‘theory’ was the fact that we could watch ships, lighthouses, and landmarks pass over the visual horizon and out of sight. This really does seem to prove the globe model very simply in anyone’s mind. But, the same lines of perspective that causes telephone poles, cars, train tracks and the like to diminish to vanishing point is not roundness, but simple ocular vanishing point. The picture at the top of this blog post is a perfect example of a straight subway train track and tunnel not going over the horizon, but simply vanishing by ocular weakness. Put a telescope to this tunnel or a lighthouse or a ship at vanishing point you will see they did not actually travel over the horizon at all! You can see this demonstrated in these very cool videos:
Objects Over the Curvature of the Earth
More Video Evidence on Curvature Myth
With enough distance everything we see with our naked eye diminishes to vanishing point. This includes sun, moon, stars, etc. that approach our visual horizon and then diminish to ocular non existence. The assumption that the world is spinning and therefore that is why we see the heavenly bodies racing about is just that, an assumption of a theory. ‘Well, what about NASA, ISS, astronauts on the moon, etc?’, you the dear reader may ask. For now could we just stick to what we are seeing with our eyes and minds here in front of us? The same ‘science’ that brought you Darwin evolution, and Big Bang Theory is the same God rejecting, Bible hating philosophies that tell us that Heliocentric Theory and the shape, orbits, spinning, and travels of planet earth are true according to them.
When looking at telephone poles that are diminishing to the horizon, we don’t assume that they are going on the other side of the curve of the globe do we? Here is a great video from Brian Mullins on Perspective.
What do star trails have to do with flat earth? Well again perspective is all we are talking about. Many misunderstandings are created by the fact that most all of us start with the assumption we are living on a globe versus living on a circle as the Bible describes. Now since we see star trails at the equator are diverging from each other, anyone must ask themselves what is causing these opposing whirlpools of diverging lights? Shouldn’t the epicenters be at opposing axis’s? If that is the case how can you see both at the same time? Isn’t this the same effect of seeing the Southern Cross and Polaris at the same time?Don’t the globalists deny anyone can see this phenomenon because of curvature? How is this possible according to the roundness everyone promotes in the ‘scientific’ community?
Here is a great video which gives some great understandings of perspectives in regards to star trails. Flat Earth Star Trails Explained
We had short notice planning on the Trump rally visit to Nashville’s Auditorium in the downtown area. Bros Tim Brown, Marvin Heiman, Kenneth Winslow and myself were able to get into the labor field of thousands of conservatives who were standing in long cold lines for hours and hours at a time in order to get into the general free admission offered by Trump. The line was 5-7 wide and went on for I guess about 8-10 city blocks and up and around a hilly area on the other side of the capitol.
Bro Marvin and I got there first, a little after noon, as I was concerned about the road closures and knew there would be people there in line waiting for President Donald J. Trump. We were met with the usual angst from people who may have voted conservatively but don’t live in a manner that conserves their lives. They love the liberality of living in their favorite sins.
Road closures started at noon with max security at 3:30 pm with the expected arrival window of President Trump sometime between then and 6:30 pm, his scheduled time to speak. Originally, we thought we would want to preach to the head of the line but with the road closure we wouldn’t be able to get back up to the front if we opted to leap frog preaching to the end of the line.
Tim and Kenneth showed up about an hour after we started and began our two man, two team leap frogging of the line. They quickly disappeared behind the bend of the roadway and a building as we labored to bring God’s Word to the attention of the carnal minds in line. We found that we were going back and forth in the line as we dealt with various hecklers who would chase us down the line and then back up again. Fortunately, we had a fence barrier between the Trumpers and ourselves. Some of them really did not like the Bible scourging they were receiving. We did find a few here and there that would give us a thumbs up, say we’re praying for you, keep going, etc very encouraging as we work to bring glory to Jesus. Water in a thirsty land to the preacher of God, so to speak…Here is an email that I received the next morning, I was very blessed.
I enjoyed hearing you speak on the word of God at the Trump event in Nashville yesterday while I was in line. You have have reached a part of my soul that knows you are 100% right on what you say . God is going to Bless you for speaking the truth . Thank you -Dorothy F.
We had noticed some of the Trump fans were looking across the street to point out the President as he stood across the street. We knew it wasn’t really him, but an impersonator who would make his way down the line to where we were. I was blessed to actually get an interaction going with him for 5-10 minutes which the crowd appreciated and I think the impersonator as well. We talked about rich men, camels, eyes of needles, kingdom of God, and that nothing was impossible with God. I met a young reporter who filmed the whole thing. Here is a small clip of that interaction published nationally. After this link is the full video Br. Marvin shot, he did great!
We met Capt. Corman who was cordial to us as always and in a sense I think he enjoys listening to our work, except our admonitions to the Pope and the RCC. He asked if we were needful of anything, assured our constitutional protections under the law,etc. and we said our goodbyes. About an hour later a LT. from the police force informed us we would be in an exclusion zone where were standing. We made a decision to catch up to Tim and Ken to discuss the matter. As we traveled down the line we began to realize that this line was for block after block with no end in sight! Praise Jesus! We spoke to them to decide if we would preach the head or work the line. We decided to work to the end of the line as daylight was burning and we didn’t think the multitudes would even make it to the auditorium to see the President.
Bros Tim and Kenneth took the lead and again they were soon out of sight around the bend. We came out into an open area between the hill the state capitol sits upon with a huge grassy area and the Centennial Park beyond the line and the street. We had been working the line and the listeners were complaining that the small 16 watt Radio Shack bullhorn was too loud, imagine that, eh? I was having some pretty heated discussion between a woman and her husband in line who were judging our preaching and telling us not to judge. Well, just about that time the wind picked up and snapped our fiberglass banner pole with our gopro on it. The crowd erupted in cheers and approval at this act of ‘God’. I agreed with them that it was an act of God, maybe He didn’t want us to warn them anymore. They became quiet, meanwhile Marvin worked to do a street repair on our pole. He used some electrical tape and within five minutes we had the banner resurrected! No cheers but from two saints of God who gleefully lifted up His Word unto the sinners. Keep in mind our camera is mounted to this as well along with a battery pack. About that time the Lord pointed out this beautiful mount upon the grassy hillside that we advanced in order to speak to thousands instead of tens at a time. It was marvelous! As the line slowly passed us they were getting a full 20 minute sermon which followed Tim and Kenneth’s previous preaching they had already given to these same people as they marched down the line. We were there for a good three hours preaching from this hillside. Keep in mind these folks had been standing in weather that felt like 24 degrees with the windchill for hour after hour after hour in the slowly progressing line. The sun was setting and the shadows were consuming the line with cold. Our position was well lit and warmed by God’s sun and kept us nicely until about 6:30 pm when we packed it up to head to the front of the line. Here is a video of Marvin preaching His Sermon on the Mount:
We had planned to go and see the President and be a part of the rally. We knew we would have to take our gear back to our car and return to the end of the line. However, by this time we realized we would never make it in. As we walked back up to the auditorium we spotted the small crowd of maybe 4-500 people protesting Trump’s rally. Tim was pumped up and jumped right into the crowd. I believed that we needed to get to the edge of the crowd. We then could duck and move to new locations so they wouldn’t surround us and lovingly beat us up as I have seen these types do on many occasions. The crowd consisted of tolerant BLM, FemiNazi, LGBTQ, Muslims, illegal immigrants, Demoncrats, etc.. They were immediately inflamed to surround and physically bully Tim. We pulled back and chose a new spot, they did the same maneuver. We played this game for about a half an hour and decided it was enough of a warning and didn’t want to cast any pearls before these swine. We left and is another usual tactic they stalked us claiming they weren’t stalking us telling us to get out of ‘their’ town. We warned them several times, and went to seek assistance from an officer when most of them realized the seriousness and backed off and continued on their merry rebellious way to hell.
In summary, this was a great preach! I hope that the President continues to hold these things throughout his term. They let the public know that He is real and wants to see good change for our country. The Fake News outlets did their standard bites of anti Trump stew with pro libtarded ideologies promoted and approved of. Lastly, I would exhort the saints to make it to these events even if you have to take the day off of work! It was a fantastic opportunity to reach conservative people that 8 of 10 believe they are ‘Christian’ but can’t explain the Gospel, go figure. God bless you all as you seek to do the will of our King!
God had lead a team of godly holiness preachers to go out to the millions of people that would gather at the inauguration of President Elect Donald John Trump. Very exciting to prepare to return to my home stomping grounds as I was born and grew up in Northern VA.
Day One – Travel and Cincy Basketball
I traveled north to Cincinnati to join John Williams, Josh Borchett, Quincy Annatello, and R.D. Christian. From there we would head to DC and join about a dozen other preachers that were being hosted by a holiness church in Springfield, VA. While waiting for R.D. to come in we decided to go to the Univ of Cincinnati and preach at a playoff game. We preached there for a few hours, headed to the airport, then off to DC!
Day Two – #PizzaGate & Islamic Center of Wash., D.C.
We arrived the next morning and joined the men for a fellowship breakfast, then off to our first event in the area. We decided to preach at #CometPizza which is a homo pizza shop which promotes pedophilia according to many reports in the social media. We would preach at this place three times during our stay in DC with the police doing a great job every time. I have uploaded the last outreach as it was the craziest of all. You can view that here:
When we went to #Pizzagate #CometPizza #Pedogate it was not open. They don’t open until 5 pm which is really weird because pizza joints could make lots of money between 11am – 5pm but this place really isn’t about making profit from pizza. We stayed for about an hour and left to go to the biggest Mosque in the area. You can see some of our work here:
Day Three – Inauguration of Donald John Trump as the President of the U.S. in Washington, D.C.
From the metro subway travel all the way downtown we could just sense the excitement in the air. I was thrilled to hand out many thousands of good gospel tracts over the course of five days. You can see our ministry tract here:
Outreach to the Inauguration went great as Br. Ruben Israel picked out the perfect spot for us to preach at the main gate of the event. We had marched directly to the front past all the security points with our banners, shirts, and bullhorns and got this great spot situated between two buildings, no background noise and two lines 6 people wide that were slowly moving by. It is reported that these lines were tens of blocks long, I was so thankful that we had the Lord’s favor to get this area. We surely preached to hundreds of thousands as they streamed past us in very slow security lines. This lasted from about eight hours before the lines crowds dissipated about 4 pm. Then we headed to Le’Enfant Metro Plaza food court. Two of us had gotten separated but Uncle Ruben was great guiding us back to the squad of soldiers for Jesus. We sat down and within minutes an angry loud mouthed black woman started trouble with a preacher who wouldn’t back down. The police were called and she was shooed away. We had a nice meal, got some rest and headed back to our lodgings before heading out to #Cometpingpong and those weirdos for a second night of spiritual attack into the darkness of that place. Long days of great battles really fatigue my body and yet energize my soul for the lost to be found in Jesus!
Day Four – A Half a Million Pussy Hat Wearing Radicalized Feminazi Lesbians!
The next day on Saturday the 21st of Jan, we preached the #Womenswalk which were those representing reproductive rights aka baby murder, #BLM rights aka police murder, LGBTQ rights aka self murder by perverted sexual activity, Muslim rights aka a everybody murder by peaceful religion. Here you see Sister Onica doing a great job scourging the hundreds of thousands of feminist lesbians who are contrary to God’s Word and will for their lives.
A story that really stuck out in my mind at the second church was a young black woman across the street named Jasmine. She had a big bandage on her forehead and one eye was blackened, and swollen shut. I asked her what happened and she related she just got out of the hospital because her boyfriend had bitten her in the eye the night before. We prayed together that Jesus by His stripes would heal her wound but more importantly that she would surrender to Him and be healed of all of her spiritual wounds unto salvation. She was very humble as she took a tract, thanked me, and told me she would read it. Maybe God had us there just for her!
We decided to relax after that and do some touring around DC. We saw the Capitol, the Supreme Court, the mall, and lastly we went the other end of the mall. There were still many tens of thousands of pink pussy hats all over the city. When we went to the Lincoln Memorial guess what happened…:
Great trip praise the Lord for all the soldiers who endured to come; Ruben Israel, Jim Gilles, Jesse Morrell, Pastor Aden, Amar, Kevin, Chelsea, Quincy Annatello, John&Onica Kranert, Joshua Borchert, R.D. Christian, John Williams, Isidro, Vijay Pisani, Daniel Rusk, and myself. I praise God for you all and thank you so much for all the wonderful time together both in battle and in fellowship. God bless you. Oh, did I forget to mention that Official Street Preachers organized this event?
It took several months of planning to execute the coordination of about 12-13 preachers for three days leading up to the New Year’s Party Dec 31, 2016. Br. Marvin was very generous in offering his home to six soldiers to host about 40 minutes from downtown. For another four soldiers we got a great deal on hotel room for $150 for two nights. This was an incredible price considering the density of tourists in the area for this week and others times like it. We also planned to receive families into our home in KY so that the wives and children would have a season of fellowship, meals, and prayer while we worked the streets 130 miles away in TN. We were almost maxed out, praise Jesus!
Tuesday morning, the Lord led me and Marvin to work on a new legal outline letter to the City of Nashville. I had not crafted one since 2010 and it was high time we addressed the new mayor, new legal director, new stadium director, new Nashville Visitors director, and because the New Year’s Eve event was now going to be held in a state park the TN State Park director. We would find later on Saturday how important getting that letter out when we did would be, more on that later.
Marvin, Tim, and I went out on Tuesday night to Broadway and a Preds game to preach I initially started at the Ryman Auditorium as it is s a good quiet place off the noise of Broadway, the acoustics are fantastic, people are coming and going, and there is a bus stop there. I spoke on the wickedness of American gender confusion, exhorting lesbians to repent and let their hair grow out and sissy boys to get a hair cut that gender would not be confused in our culture and countrymen anymore. I’ll add that clip as I get it produced. It went pretty well and it was a good initial impact to the tourists many who have never seen us preach, though we have been downtown Nashville regularly for seven years..
After that we moved down onto the main street, Broadway Ave., very appropriate considering all the partying they do on that real estate. It was barricaded for the festivities. Marvin started out and we were getting good reactions/interactions with many sinners there. Suddenly, out of nowhere a very cocky motorcycle officer approached and directed us to shut the bull horn down and move off the barricaded street. Marvin did a great job interacting with the unreasonable cop, initially refusing to give his ID until the officer explained what laws we were breaking in accordance with the protection of ‘unreasonable search and seizure’ laws. He finally surrendered his ID and explained to him, he was doing so under duress. We formally requested his supervisor to wit, he curtly replied, “Way ahead of you pal, this isn’t my first rodeo.” I thought, this wasn’t ours as well and smiled slightly at the officer. Soon, we had six officers and the supervisor there and it was looking like they were about to put him in the cruiser. I asked for his keys so I could have transportation to secure bail and hopefully get him out of the jail if he were arrested. I then called the wives to start praying, which they did. We began to pray earnestly removing our covers and seeking the Lord. After about 15 minutes of consultation with the supervisor, he returned gave us our ID’s and stated he was advised by his supervisor not to press any charges or arrest Marvin, Hallelujah!
That was the big burp for the night and everything else went really well, handing out hundreds of tracts and preaching to thousands, with everyone having some one2one’s and small groups during the preaching.
Thursday the 29th we had a full crew of preachers, Marvin Heiman, Tim Brown, Joshua Heiman, Adam & Caleb Bishop, Jeff Mullen, Daniel McGlone and myself. This was the night of the Battle of the Bands, which is a bunch of wicked music coupled with wicked activities, like food eating contests gluttony, etc. I have been grieved for many years by parents who bring their small children and/or youth to wicked events and then sin in front of them being a bad example in their lives. Here in this video you will see me upbraiding a mocking, bird flipping daddy who is drinking in front of his children. The fruit of his loins, watch and laugh with daddy as he is on his way to hell. Then the youth laugh even more when I describe them turning to daddy on Judgment day asking why he led them to the very gates of hell without telling them about Jesus! I’m sure parents are motivated to come to these kinds of events for a variety of reasons but most of them are sinful; drinking, listening to wicked music, celebrating wickedness [Pride or Xmas parades], lusting, sports idols, etc.
Friday the 30th, we had the same crew but we were minus Joshua Heiman yet the Lord added Quentin Deckard. This was Music City Bowl day and there are so many things happening from early in the am it is an incredibly target rich environment for preachers.
view from downtown Nashville across the Cumberland River.
There are pep rallies downtown starting about 10am, tailgate parties at the stadium starting about the same time, people lining up for the game a few hours before the start. This was unique because our preaching had started to receive harassment from the New Stadium Lessees Nissan’s security a few months before. They began telling us things like: we allow you to be here, your causing problems at the security gates, you can’t have abortion signs or we will arrest you. With that in mind we knew that we would need to write a new legal letter to them as our last one had been in 2010 when I was still part of PinPoint Evangelism. I called the stadium VP to get his email and had a return call from the General Manager. The conversation was tense but I made it clear we would continue our work at the gates, all the property around the stadium was public, and their lease for naming rights didn’t take away out civil rights to be there. Come game day between the Nebraska Corn Huskers and the Tenn Volunteers everything returned to the standard we had set with seven years of work in that venue. Saints, you must keep pressing into these areas or the devilish communists will seek to remove our rights to have our messages heard! Exercise your freedoms in America! We had a great outreach at Nissan Stadium handing out thousands of tracts and breaking up into two different groups covering gates 8 & 9. They are the best especially when it’s cold as the north wind is blocked and it’s sunny on that side. Keep in mind brethren these environmental issues will strengthen or sap the energy of your troops. As we traveled to those gates we also stopped at gate 6 for about 15 minutes to preach to the crowd there. We had our first interaction with a TN State Trooper. Within a few minutes he got the word that we were good to go. We preached the rest of the day unhindered by authorities, but the hecklers were certainly far from being done trying to shut up the Gospel preaching, I noted that the out of town Huskers, though most professing Christians were very cold hearted about spiritual matters, cursing and threatening as we tried to engage their hearts and minds with the truths of the Bible. We wrapped it up there and headed back to town to get some much needed rest, food, and bathrooms at an undisclosed location downtown. We got about an hour of fellowship and rest before the sun started to set and we were headed to our next big event which was the Widespread Panic Concert which was being held at the Brimstone Arena for two nights. Very rowdy and violent crowds from these concert goers, one man being violently thrown out by security the second night we would be there.
We figured out for the Brimstone Plaza it is better to preach directly in front of the doors behind barricades about 75 feet from the entrance the acoustics are much better with the crowds in line being able to hear us all the way until they cram through the doors. We will have to keep this in mind for the future.
One of the big changes this year is the move of the New Year’s Eve bash from downtown Broadway to the Centennial Park which was about a mile away. This was not impossible to walk but really too far to drag all the troops and equipment and back to the downtown area. Saturday was forecast rainy and despite our efforts to pray it away the Lord in His sovereignty decided we would have to endure as we knew the sinners surely would for their sin. We wrestled with the ideas of where would the crowds go? Would they wait until the end of the night to head over to the park or stay downtown and try to watch the fireworks from there.
I mentioned previously that we had a new legal outline letter we sent to the city. This was to cover many venues to include the Centennial park which is a TN State park with rangers and a whole other chain of command we only dealt with once before and unsuccessfully at that being threatened with arrest and chased out of the park a few years ago.
With all that in mind, we wrestled in prayer even on the streets where to make our stands for Jesus. Ultimately, we decided though the weather was bad we would need to work the park for a period of time and then move downtown as that is where we scouted all the crowds to be. The rules of for the event/park were no poles, bullhorns, or ‘soliciting’. We knew who they had targeted but we’re confident that legal outline would be effectual for our entry to the park. Sure enough it was, though we didn’t fight the search and seizure issue with them wanding us before we entered we were able to breeze right through pretty tight security. The park is under major renovation with the whole Germantown neighborhood under revitalization which was previously overrun with thug, criminal drug / gang activity just a few years before. I believe a big developer has come in and now is trying to spread the parties/business to this area of the city. I see a big Oktoberfest party in Nashville’s future. We got in and set up near some vendors with our banners and bullhorns, preached, waiting to be approached. After about 15 minutes we got the head of the event Mr. Keeter to whom Marvin spoke. It went great, and we had the green light. This was important to set this precedent with the city. We stayed another half hour in the rain and cold and packed it up to head down to the crowds downtown where it would be much warmer and hopefully drier. When we left we estimated a hundred or so people in the park. The weather had busted the city’s plans big time.
There were thousands downtown and hundreds in the park. No brainer, we would end up working the rest of the night by the Brimstone Arena again as we didn’t realize the first night there would be a second concert NYE by Widespread Panic. The concert goers proved themselves to be very gross and violent, so much so I closed our activities about an hour and a half early calling it a night. We were all weary of the cold, rain, and we were being regularly attacked. We departed on the assurance of the Holy Ghost’s leading and we were all in agreement. We headed to the new CookOut in town and had a good meal before making the drive back to KY for fellowship the next day. Here are our testimony’s in video format. Now, get out there and seek and save that which is lost, not much time now…
1 Pet 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
I am prompted to write the blog as my KY friends and neighbors are in danger of losing their homes with 21 wildfires that were deliberately set by some wicked twisted vandal. Here are some pictures of their dilemma, I ask the saints of God to pray. Sinners or ‘Sinner-saints’ need not apply nor try to seek God in any matters. He is not regarding your petitions. Now, before you are needlessly offended ask yourself where I get such ideas? My answer of course is the Holy Bible which is why I implore you to keep reading this important post. Examine yourself in light of what God hath said. 2 Cor 13:5

Beside preaching, the next most neglected ministry in the Christian walk is the prayer closet. To pray to him is to worship, intercede, fast, commune, seeking wisdom and guidance about our lives, the lives of the saints and the sinners alike. The question that is begged when I think upon praying to God is, “Does God listen to what I am speaking with Him about?” The very next question is, “Does God speak to me and answer what I am seeking?” God can answer in three distinct ways, though I would not limit that. Those three ways are: 1. Yes 2. No 3. Wait So, with that in mind let us not fool ourselves that we are in charge but that God should be both Savior and LORD of our lives.

1Ki 8:47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; 48 And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name: 49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, 50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
