Just War Theory – Defended by James Webber

July 20, 2017July 11, 2017 by johnmcglone

Introduction by John McGlone

I am privileged to know a wonderful soldier of the Lord, James Webber only through the internet and some important interpersonal counsel he labored with me a few years ago. I am thankful for the many decades of work he has labored for the lost and to edify the saints over many decades of his colorful life of open air ministry. I have for a few years questioned my hyper pacifism that I held to for a season of about seven years. I have labored to study this issue and though I am not in complete agreement with St. Augustine and his just war theory, James sure helps me understand some important points in his following dissertation.

I am a patriot and love my countrymen and country. Some background on me, I have a family that is steeped in past proud military traditions. On my father’s side of the family; my father was a Marine for four years earning Staff Sgt before getting out after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. My grandfather was a waist gunner in a B-24 stationed with the 8th Air Force in England during WWII. He was shot down by Anti aircraft fire on Jan 7th, 1944. Most of the crew bailed out except the tail and ball turret gunners, and my grandfather. The SS gestapo shot and killed them as they exited the downed aircraft. They were not known for taking POW’s who were injured in the fighting. My great grandfather was an infantry man in WWI in the south of France in 1917. He survived the war. My great great grandfather was a Colonel in the CSA part of the Tennessee Volunteers killed at Rocky Top, TN. My matriarchal side of my family I only know of a great uncle who has retired from the U.S. Coast Guard service as an Admiral. I served 21 years in the U.S. Navy as a Boatswains Mate, Quartermaster, and Signalman retiring in 2001 as a Chief Quartermaster. I served on five different warships, have four rows of medals, campaign ribbons, unit awards. I spent upwards of 15 years stationed aboard ship, 12 of that actually either deployed overseas or underway training to go overseas. So, needless to say, I was a patriot to the core. Sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies both foreign and domestic.

I see many forces at work to try and dismantle our system of government; Communists, Muslim Sharia, Antifa, BLM, illegal immigration, homosexual agenda, political corruption to the nth degree, etc. I believe that God has blessed us with such abundant resources and responsibility. We should use that responsibility to go with His Word into all nations. We should care for the widow, and orphans, keeping ourselves unspotted from the world. Jam 1:27 I spent 21 years in the U.S. Navy, defending our Constitution as a primary motive when I joined. It was an ideology that matured me into a man.
Here are past views I’ve held: SEMIPASSIVE HYPER PASSIVE

Just War Theory Defended
by James Webber

I think all Christians should be Peaceful people but capable of Implementing retributions and Justice as needed.

{Note: Particular Scriptural verses or topics are not always balanced when they are written.}

God’s actions, in relationship to killing humans.
GOD= Father- {Son, Jesus} – Holy Spirit

Point #2 Gods Attitude on War and Killing Revealed Within the Scriptures.

DR. A. E. WILDER-SMITH, Professor of medicine holding three doctorate degrees, and author or co-author of over fifty publications: …we ought never dare to state that there is a different God in the Old Testament to the One revealed in the New, on the basis that the Old Testament reveals a God of judgment and the New Testament a God of love. Love and judgment are present in both Testaments. Man’s Origin, Man’s Destiny (1974), p. 179

Deuteronomy 7:2-3
and when the LORD your God shall deliver them before you, and you shall defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. 3“Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, or shall you take their daughters for your sons.
Deuteronomy 7:9-10
“Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His loving kindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments; 10 but repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them; He will not delay with him who
hates Him, He will repay him to his face.
Deuteronomy 7:24-26
“And He will deliver their kings into your hand so that you shall make their name perish from under heaven; no man will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them. 25) “The graven images of their gods you are to burn with fire; you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God. 26) “And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, and like it come under the ban;
you shall utterly detest it and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is something banned.
Deuteronomy 20:13
“When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword.
Deuteronomy 20:17
“But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you,
Psalms 5:5
The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity.
Nahum 1:2
A jealous and avenging God is the LORD; the LORD is avenging and wrathful. The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies.
Exodus 15:3
“The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name.
2 Corinthians 5:11
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Point#3 God is NOT a Pacifist

What we have shown so far is, God is not a PACIFIST. We also see the Bible
speaking using Warfare terminology.
If Jesus was against Just Wars and was truly a Pacifist by Nature, I am sure He would not have used Warfare terms to express Biblical truths.
Luke 14:31 31
“Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and take counsel whether he is strong enough with ten thousand {men} to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
1 Corinthians 14:8
For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
Luke 11:21-23
“When a strong {man,} fully armed, guards his own homestead, his possessions are undisturbed; 22) but when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied, and distributes his plunder. 23) “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.
Romans 13:12
The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil: Breastplate, Shield of faith, Helmet of salvation, Sword of the Spirit
1 Corinthians 9:7
Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?
Philippians 2:25
But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;
2 Timothy 2:3
Suffer hardship with {me,} as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:3-4
Suffer hardship with {me,} as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4) No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.
Philemon 1:2
and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
2 Corinthians 6:7
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,
Matthew 12:20
“A battered reed He will not break off, and a smoldering wick He will not put out, until He leads justice to victory.
1 Corinthians 15:54
But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory.
2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
Revelation 2:16
‘Repent therefore; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Revelation 12:7
And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war,
Revelation 19:10-16
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, “Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” 11) And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it {is} called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12) And His eyes {are} a flame of fire, and upon His head {are} many diadems; and He has a name written {upon Him} which no one knows except Himself. 13) And {He is} clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. 14) And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white {and} clean, were following Him on white horses. 15) And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.
16) And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Point #4 There Will Be No Peace

War will not always be with us. For now, to insure Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit
of happiness, war at times is necessary.
1 Corinthians 13:8-10
Love never fails; but if {there are gifts of} prophecy, they will be done away; if {there are} tongues, they will cease; if {there is} knowledge, it will be done away. 9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10) but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.
Isaiah 2:4
And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples; and they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.
Revelations 21:1-5
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer {any} sea. 2) And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3) And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, andvthey shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, 4) and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be {any} death; there shall no longer be {any} mourning, or
crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” 5) And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (NAS)

Point #5 War Accepted
Yet, Jesus seems to accept war as a part of the world system Matthew 24:6,
and his followers who were soldiers were not condemned Acts 10.
Soldiers were recognized as some of the heros of the faith Hebrews:11:32-34.
Hebrews 11:32-34
And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, 33) who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed {acts of} righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, 34) quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

Point #6
Some say there is no evidence of a single Christian soldier in the Roman army
from the NT times until A.D. 170. But this can easily be explained, by realizing in order to become a soldier you had to pledge allegiance to their gods. In addition, Christians were being killed for their faith, And had no Nation, of their own. By the third and forth century things changed as a result of Augustine’s, Just War theory. Since then, War has been accepted by almost all Churches, till this very day. The book,”Christian Attitudes Toward War and Peace”, by Roland H. Bainton, pp. 95-98 spells out Augustine’s theory of just war.
1. A just war must be just as to its intent, which is to restore peace. Augustine wrote the following to Boniface: “Peace should be the object of your desire. War should be waged only as a necessity and waged only that through it God may deliver men from that necessity and preserve them in peace. For peace is not to be sought in order to kindle war, but war is to be waged in order to obtain peace. Therefore even in the course of war you should cherish the spirit of a peace maker.” –Augustine said every effort should be made to avoid war.
2. A just war must seek to vindicate justice. The following injustices would be motivation for war: –an attempt to destroy the state. –refusal to grant passage through the nation –failure to make amends for wrongs
3. A just war must be motivated by love. That is, the intent must be good. War is not waged because of hatred for the other side, but because love dictates that action be taken to stop evil. A just State is obligated to examine its motives. They must be pure.
4. A just war can only be waged by the duly constituted rulers. The scriptures do not allow the individual to take action, only the duly constituted authorities.
5. A just war must be conducted properly. There should be no wanton violence, profaning of temples, looting, massacres, or conflagrations. Vengeance, atrocities, and reprisals are excluded.
6. A just war must be conducted in a mournful mood. War is a serious thing, and it is undertaken with reluctance and sorrow, not glee, as if it were fun. War should not be entered with joy and singing and thanksgiving.
Jeremiah 48:10
“Cursed be the one who does the LORD’S work negligently, and cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.

Point #7 But, Jesus Said..
Matthew 5:39
“But I say to you, do not resist him who is evil; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:44
“But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you
The context of these verses primarily, has to do with the attitude and actions of the Saints, towards the ones that are the enemies of God, that are Persecuting the Saints for their Faith. Theses verses are not dealing with National Security Issues, Police Actions,
or National War.

Point # 8 Governmental Responsibility
Deals with the responsibility of Christians to their Government, and the
honoring of it, as a viable institution.
Matthew 22:21
They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
Romans 13:1-7
Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2) Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3) For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same; 4) for it is a minister of God to you for good.
But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil. 5) Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for {rulers} are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7) Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax {is due;} custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
Acts 28:19
“But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar; not that I had any accusation
against my nation.
In Philippians 3:20 Paul says, “But our citizenship is in heaven.” It appears
Paul was aware that His citizenship was in heaven, yet He works within the
Worldly system.
Acts 27:23-24
“For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, 24) saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’
Titus 3:1
Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,
1 Peter 2:13
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,
Proverbs 8:13-15
“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way, and the perverted mouth, I hate. 14) “Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine. 15) “By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.
Daniel 2:21
“And it is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men, and knowledge to men of understanding.
John 19:11
Jesus answered “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me up to you has {the} greater sin.”
Revelation 1:5
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us, and released us from our sins by His blood,
1 Timothy 2:1-2
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties {and} prayers, petitions {and} thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2) for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
Point #9
Israel was to be an example of a Godly government.
Old Covenant VS. New Covenant Question.
NOTE: Exodus 20:13
Has been wrongly translated as “kill” kjv, rather than murder.
The text correctly reads “YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.” Murder is a different word and meaning than to kill. Thou shalt not kill. ‘Killing’ is not what is prohibited, otherwise the judicial infliction of capital punishment, as well as the slaughter of an enemy in defensive war, would be unlawful-in which light these were certainly not regarded by the Israelites in the time of Moses (Exodus 21:14; Deuteronomy 19:11; 31:9). [Lo’ tirtsaach, Thou shalt not commit murder. The verb signifies to slay with premeditation and malice, and is properly rendered by the Septuagint: ou foneuseis.]
from Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary,
NOTE: Exodus 22:2
“If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;” Moreover, (3) God gave mankind permission as a lawful society, to “kill,” or destroy those guilty of capital offenses. We call this today “capital punishment.” We read in,
Genesis 9:6
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.”
The divinely sanction war is important to understand. For later on, God organized and engaged the entire nation of Israel into His army to kill all God’s enemies that He had labeled for destruction. Make no mistake God sanctioned the killing of human life by warfare. Again we read:
Josh 10:40
“So Joshua subdued the whole region, including the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills and the mountain slopes, together with all their kings. He left no survivors. He totally destroyed all who breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.” (NIV)
Point #10
Some say: We are all children of God, therefore Killing a fellow child of God has to be wrong. Wrong, We are not all children of God, you are either a child of God or a child of the devil.
I John 3:10
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
Romans 9:20-23
On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? 21) Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use, and another for common use? 22) What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? 23) And {He did so} in order that He might make
known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
Acts 13:10
and said, “You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?
John 8:44
“You are of {your} father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own {nature;} for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Matthew 13:38
and the field is the world; and {as for} the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil {one;}
Galatians 6:3
For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Point #11
Some say: “Jesus would never Go to War!”
Wrong!
John 2:15
So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
Matthew: 10:34
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. If war is inherently evil, why are soldiers not told so in the New Testament?
• John the Baptist, went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Luke 3:14 Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages.”
• In Matthew 8 why did Christ commend the faith of a Centurion but did not call on him to abandon his profession? He told the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more.
• Why did Paul avail himself of military protection if it is always wrong to kill? Wasn’t the protection predicated upon the fact that the soldiers would kill those who might try to kill Paul?
• Why is nothing said about Cornelius leaving his profession as Centurion in Acts 10?

Point 12 Patriotism
In discussing Patriotism it is difficult because there are a multitude of possible application, so I will not deal with the obvious mis applications. Any time we place something above God it is wrong whether Patriotism, Golf, TV, Money and so on.
Romans 14:1-2
Now accept the one who is weak in faith, {but} not for {the purpose of} passing judgment on his opinions. 2) One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables {only.}
• If you eat Vegetable only you are the weaker Brother.
• If you eat Vegetable and Meat you are the Stronger Brother.
• If you worship God on one day a week you are the weaker Brother.
• If you worship God everyday you are the Stronger Brother.
You see the ones that are limited in their Freedom are consider the weaker
Brothers, and the ones that are able to live in Freedom are the Stronger
Brothers. The person that can’t be Patriotic is the weaker Brother where as the one that is able to be a good Christian and be Patriotic is the Stronger Brother.
If in fact you see God first and Country second Romans 13, and you attempt to Honor Romans 13
as directed, and Serve your Country, that position is completely in line with our Freedom and the Scriptural examples. Some say, look at the evils in your Country, how can you Serve a country like that, and be Patriotic to it? God looks at His Church and see Evil, and still Loves and Serves it, and is faithful to it. A married Man may see evils within His wife, yet He is still commanded to Love Her. Most Parents Love their
Children even when they do Evil. When People pledge allegiance to the flag, that does not mean they do not have built in restrictions within that allegiance.
Even in a Church, when one pledges allegiance to it, by way of membership, that does not mean, the commitment does not have limits.

IN CONCLUSION:
In Point #1, Jesus is No Pacifist, to the point He will not kill humans or direct other humans to kill humans, In War and otherwise.
In Point #2, We see that The Lord Jesus has always been a warrior throughout history.
In Point #3, We see God uses the opposite of Pacifistic terminology within the Scriptures.
In Point #4, We see Peace will come, just not yet.
In Point #5, Jesus seems to accept war as a part of the world system.
In Point #6, We see most Christians from all faiths have almost always seen War as a tragic necessity at times.
In Point #7, We see, as Christians in rightly dividing the Word of God, We need to make a distinction between individual responsibility’s before God and National responsibility’s before God.
In Point #8, Christian are responsible to their Government.
In Point #9, Israel a Godly example of a Government.
In Point #10, We are not all Children of God.
In Point #11, Jesus came with a sword.
In Point #12, Christian Patriotism can be an indication of one that is stronger in the faith.
True Pacifism, is Anti Self-protection, Anti Self-defense, and Anti John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” Romans 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

Blood Covenant of Virgin Sex

June 28, 2017 by johnmcglone

When I was a young buck of a punk, I would often repeat things that I heard my friends say which are really gross to me now. Things like; young enough to bleed, young enough to butcher, that is effed up like an abortion, etc When looking back on such nonsense I realize how these communications cheapened women, marriage, sex, and family. I lost my virginity to a whorish girlfriend of one of my ‘good’ friends at that time. I walked her home to her parent’s apartment on a dreary cold day when my friend wasn’t at school. Man, I wish I could’ve undone that experience! I wish I would have had a man of God in my life who would have warned me about whorishness and the spiritual deadliness of laying down with a whore.

Pro 5:3-5 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

If only a godly man had shared the importance of this Bible verse and many others!

1 Cor 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

The CDC, Center for Disease Control reports that young college age people 18-25 have a 35% chance of contracting a myriad of sexually transmitted diseases. They range from annoyances to debilitating disease that can cripple, sterilize, or even kill you. AIDS, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, are but a few examples of these consequences. When we preach on the college campuses we will often use the following statement, “1,2,3, STD, 1,2,3, STD, “1,2,3, STD, 1,2,3, STD, as we point out students. They will look at each other, laugh, get embarrassed etc. But, it proves a reality they need to think about before getting in the sack!

As I explained to a young couple just a week ago while on outreach. That time before marriage is a time to show each other that you have self control to resist each other. If you can show God and each other that fruit of self control by the power of the Holy Ghost and not even touch each other. Then you can resist temptations of others that will come along to try and wreck your marriage later on! If you find one, or the other, or both tempting each other, then you must question yourselves and even consider stopping the courtship for a a season of fasting, prayer, and study on these issues.

1 Cor 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

For every regretful Christian that would have wished to have done it different in not keeping their wedding bed pure, please share with young couples you know that are planning on marrying. Young couples in courtship pray and share it with others. God bless you as you seek His will for your lives, marriage, and children to be!

I would file this under ‘THE THINGS YOUR PASTOR AND HIS WIFE ARE TOO AFRAID TO TELL YOU.’

👉 “Have you ever wondered why God carefully positioned a membrane of blood in a lady’s sexual opening? It is a tinny membrane that partially or completely covers the opening of the vagina.

It is called the “HYMEN”.

Why would God-Our Maker put a breakable tissue full of blood at the very door of the sexual opening of the female? Why is it so carefully placed at that entrance, like a ribbon tied at the entrance of a new house about to be launched? Why is it filled with blood that spills away when it is broken? Why? Without doubt, the HYMEN IS A GATE! It was God (our creator) who set that blood filled vessel there as a covenant blockage, a sign and a token of a covenant between the bearer and whoever enters into her opening.

Before God, the dis-virginity of a lady is not a casual act of fun. It is a serious covenant struck and confirmed by the blood shed on that day.

This is God’s way of saying, “Whoever enters in to this woman shall only be able to do so by making a blood covenant to be joined to her for the rest of his life, from that point onward.

Little wonder why sexual intercourse was designed by God to take place only and only after the marriage contract is sealed. The one who made the body (the hormones, organs, nerves,tissues, e.t.c)said it in clear terms in 1 Cor.6:13 , “Now, the body is not for fornication”. Anyone who chooses to use the body for fornication must know that he/ she is working directly against God’s plan and there would definitely be a consequence either now or at old age!

There is a spiritual bonding, a supernatural process that takes place in a lady’s heart to the first guy that enters in to her especially at that particular time when the hymen breaks. There is no covenant without blood: this is why the membrane contains enough of it.

As a matter of fact, what happens the first time a lady has sex is not just sex but an immersion and a bathing of the man with her hymen blood to initiate a covenant that is highly recognized in the spirit realm of both light and darkness! The first time this happens just marks her opening day covenant ceremony and each subsequent experience goes on to further ratify and strengthen that covenant or establish another version of it with another person.

Many have washed useless boys with that hymen-blood.

Many have struck irreversible covenants with men that have nothing to do with their destiny.

Many have shared that hymen blood in sexual activity with demon-possessed men while some others have struck such precious covenants with candle sticks fingers of banana etc as they exercised sex with it.

If only they knew, many girls who carelessly allowed themselves to be deflowered in a bid to be among the so called “big girls” would never have done so.

The Bible says it in clear terms: “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot (through sexual activity) is one with her (1 Cor. 6:16).

This is why many girls are not yet married, yet their spiritual composition is already shattered and imbalanced, because they have mingled their souls with that of different men.

Dear Singles, know today that there is a definite proportion of your virtue that leaves you each time a man enters into you and when that man leaves you, he leaves with it. Just imagine how much of yourself would be lost each time a man enters into you without any properly signed marriage bond or contract.

Sex is a spiritual affair. A giving of yourself to another. All of these things have strong and terrible spiritual implications.

A broken hymen opens you up to the spirit of the man that broke it, any other spirit whatsoever that may have mingled with that man’s spirit, those who have mingled theirs with him and the spirit of any other man that
enters into you thereafter. The fun part is that pre-marital sex is not funny at all. What happens between the lines could be deadly and dangerous.

The very first day a lady, or a man does that there will be spiritual transfer of destiny.

The sin of fornication gives demons and occultist people direct access into your God given destiny of a pure wedding bed and spouse who will always have that moment sealed in their hearts and minds.

Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

So guys, zip up! Girls wise up!! It matters a lot.

BIG THINGS COMES FROM LITTLE THINGS WE DO!!!” – Anonymous

P.S. Don’t let the sin of fornication lead to murdering your own flesh and blood! See www.abortionno.org for horrifying videos and pictures of preborn babies.

The Law of Diminishing Perspective

November 3, 2022April 18, 2017 by johnmcglone

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. a mathematical system for representing three-dimensional objects and space on a two-dimensional surface by means of intersecting lines that are drawn vertically and horizontally and that radiate from one point(one-point perspective) two points (two-point perspective) or several points on a horizon line as perceived by a viewer imagined in an arbitrarily fixed position.

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.

Does God Hate Sinners?

September 27, 2017April 12, 2017 by johnmcglone

by John McGlone

Often when interacting with sinners and saints alike during ministry, a major confusion the world has about God comes to light. They believe God’s emotions toward humanity are love only. He can’t hate anything or anyone, they will proclaim these ideas with great zeal.

A simple examination of Scriptures reveals that the God of the Bible does in fact have a holy hatred of everything that is sinful and everyone living therein. People are blinded by their own lusts for sin and for the teachings and traditions which false teachers have created for them to consume. However, it is not just the false teachers fault, as the sin loving sinner desires to have their ears tickled versus their hearts and minds convicted of sin that they may turn from it. When I was converted some twenty years ago now, I often wondered at the seeming contradiction that God is love, yet He will throw most people into eternal fire and torment forever. How could both of these concepts be cogent and true at the same time? How could Jesus judge and then knowingly torment my family and friends with everlasting pain and fire IF He is so loving? What about our love toward Him and the rest of humanity?

1 John 4:7-21 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

God’s Love:

Neh_1:5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

Psa_145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

Eph_5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

1 Jn_5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Rev_3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

God’s Hatred:

2 Ch_19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

Psa 5:4-6 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Psa 11:5-6 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Psa 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Pro 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Joh 3:18-21 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Our Proper Love Response to God:

Psa_97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Mic_6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Luk_10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Since God is love and yet He obviously demonstrates hatred, we must come to the conclusion that Jesus is both loving and hateful at the same time. God’s love and hatred are a both/and characteristic not an either/or. Ironically, God uses these very things to winnow out partial lukewarm believers also known as hypocrites. Do you ‘believe’ every doctrine that God teaches from every verse of His Holy Word?

Many ‘Christians’ in our day will say, “But, if God hates sinners then we are all condemned because we are all sinners!” Well as we have seen in other areas of God’s Word that He doesn’t even listen to sinners! When I realized this some years ago it was a light breaking forth in my mind and heart about how Holy God really is. You can read that teaching here: DOES GOD HEAR SINNERS? True believers are called saints in the Bible. Almost every Epistle starts with the terms; saints in Ephesus, saints in Rome, etc. May the Lord show you that being sanctified and holy are the characteristics of the saints that will return with Jesus.

Jud 1:14-15 …., saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

What should we then conclude? Firstly, we should not try and change God’s characteristics to make Him seem to be more loving, tolerant, or accepted by or for the carnal mind. Secondly, to compromise His character is to bring into question whole sections of Scripture which describe him and how He will deal with humanity forever. Thirdly, we must realize if we do so that we create a new god, with a new gospel that will never bring about true reconciliation and peace between God and mankind.

The World’s Hatred of God and Us

From the beginning of the fall of mankind, we have hated and disobeyed our Creator. If we loved Him we would simply obey all of His directions for our lives because it is honorable to do so, and beneficial to our lives spiritually and naturally.
Here are examples of mankind’s hatred for God:

Joh 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

1 Jn 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

Luk_16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Luk_6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

Mat_10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Mat_24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

Mar_13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Luk_19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

Luk_21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

Joh_15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

If the faith that you live doesn’t produce the fruit of the world hating you, what are you doing wrong? How are you more loving or kind than Jesus that the world will think you are nicer than God?

These outlined points have always been major problems in the people’s understanding of the True and Living God of the Bible. This isn’t a new phenomena that recently came upon America the last few hundred years, there is nothing new under the sun.

Does God Hear Sinners Pray?

Prayers of the Saints & Sinners
by John McGlone

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.

Joh 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Isa 59:1-3 Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

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:

Psa_66:20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Heb_13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Psa_80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Psa_141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

Psa_109:7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin.

Pro 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

Pro_15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.

Pro_15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.

Pro_28:9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

Isa_26:16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

Isa_56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Jer_7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

Jer_11:14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

Lam_3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

Lam_3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

Dan_9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

Dan_9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

Dan_9:17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.

Dan_9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

Jon_2:7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

Mat_17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Mat_21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Mat_21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Mat_23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Mar_9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Mar_11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Mar_12:40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Luk_1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

Luk_2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

Luk_5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

Luk_6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

Luk_19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Luk_22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

Luk_20:47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Act_1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Act_2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Act_3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

Act_6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

Act_10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Act_10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

Act_12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Act_16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.

Act_16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

Rom_1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Rom_10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

Rom_12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Rom_15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

1Co_7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

2Co_1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

2Co_9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

Eph_6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Php_1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

Php_1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Php_4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Col_4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Eph_1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Heb_5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Jas_5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Jas_5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

1Pe_3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1Pe_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.

1Pe_4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Rev_5:8 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.

Rev_8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Rev_8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

God’s Word is preeminent in the life of a true Christian. If you believe what you just read, then you have three responses: 1. pray as a saint and be heard and answered 2. pray as a sinner to wit God is not listening 3. pray as a sinner-saint to wit God gives you greater accountability and still won’t listen until you truly repent and stop your sin job.

Doubtful Disputes With Cursing Christians?

Walking the Tightrope of the Holiness Way!
by John McGlone

UPDATE 1/30/17: Recently, while preaching in Washington, DC at the inauguration I was approached by David Giro of LaCroix and Skelly’s preaching group. He made the accusation that our whole group and I needed to repent of our reviling and railing against sinners and that we are on our way to hell. I will give more testimony on this sharp division caused by LaCroix & Skelly in the near future.

There have been multitudes of sharp divisions in the open air preaching community over words and behaviors that some, including myself, employ while preaching God’s Word and the Gospel to the lost in our world. With that in mind I say with Paul that I praise God that the Gospel is preached!

Php 1:15-18 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

Setting a Standard of Holiness in Speech and Conduct

With that said, I have wrestled with a standard for which I would govern myself according to the Holy Ghost in my open air work. So, whatever motivates another brother to preach and how he preaches, I give God glory and thanks the Gospel is preached. For myself, I must come to a place where I am obeying the Holy Ghost and what He is teaching me in these matters.

Here are some standards I am laying out for myself:
1. I will use words from the KJV Bible(preferred) in context and applicability.
2. I will use words that are scientific or biblical in regards to sexual sins or otherwise.
3. I will limit the use of slang, inflammatory, or non biblical words which may unnecessarily incite hearers.
4. I will seek to use primarily biblical type parables vs. parables that play to the imaginations of sin.
5. I will not apply my standard to other people but pray they seek the Holy Ghost for a standard for themselves and walk according to His direction if they have not already done so.
6. I will seek to check my heart toward the lost, both before, during and after a preach.
7. I will seek to do the Lord’s will in all things even if men don’t understand or approve.
8. I will seek to be flexible on words or behaviors for weaker brothers or sisters I am working with. Rom 14 [new add, 07/08/17]

I would ask the saints to comment below in regards to standards they think we should institute in personal evangelism. If I find them biblical I will certainly add them to my list.

My Past Defense and Future Hope

My defense of using harsh and colorful words that offend in the past year has been that curse words come from a heart of cursing toward the sinners. I think the best and simplest example of this is when we preach that sinners are on their way to hell and they need to turn and live. On the other hand the sinners will turn around and say, Go to hell you effing stupid preacher. Do you see the spiritual difference? Both times the same ‘curse’ word hell is used, but the spirit by which they are said are completely different.

I think the Westboro Baptist Church(consistent Calvinists) actually hate the sinners with God from their view and want to see them destroyed. So, if you hate the sinners and you are actually cursing them with death, hell, diseases, you need a heart check.

I know, I know, the trite statement that most sinners and all lukewarm ‘Christians’ say about God is, “God hates the sin, but loves the sinner.” However, correct thinking about this issue is that God can hate both the sin and the sinner, He is the Creator. We however, as fellow creatures of mankind, must hate the sin, and love the sinner according to Jesus’ commands and teachings. However, King David cursed and hated God’s enemies, was this sin?

Ps 109:5-21 Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. 6 Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. 7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. 8 Let his days be few, And let another take his office. 9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.
Psa 109:10 Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. 11 Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor. 12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be continually before the LORD, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth; 16 Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart. 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones. 19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself continually. 20 Let this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person. 21 But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.

Psa 139:20-24 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. 21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Is God’s eternal justice demonstrated at the throne of Jesus an act of love or hatred? Most Christians will sheepishly answer they don’t know or understand how it could be love that God would burn and torment someone forever as Jesus taught in Mark 9:43-48

I do think there may be holiness preachers out there that could be ‘cursing’ sinners from their heart. An actual desire to see people burn and suffer torment in eternal damnation. This of course would be ungodly and must be forsaken for any who call themselves holiness preachers. How do we judge each other on that issue? Is it the tone, or particular words in particular order, a facial expression, or body language? It is a heart issue, I think we can all agree so be careful when you judge the heart of another. One way to be sure is to seek clarification, by asking the person their view. Do you desire people to go to hell? Does God desire that? If God doesn’t want people to burn forever, then shouldn’t we line our hearts up with God’s? In the future we will all agree that Jesus’ Judgments are righteous and true and we will all say Amen on that day to the everlasting damnation that God will mete out. But, what about now?

My future hope is in Jesus who died for me and for you on the cross. My future hope is that everyone who is active in the open air community will come to a civil and peaceable agreement on how we are to conduct ourselves towards; God, the saints, and sinners alike on these issues. Let us not seek to fracture or divide but to understand and be united in the Holy Ghost.

Php_1:27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

1Th_2:4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:4-8)

Self Examination

In this whole arena of words and behaviors that varying holiness open air preachers use, we must ask ourselves and examine ourselves individually to see if our conscience is clear before the Holy God of the Bible. Are these things sin to me? Are they sinful to the hearers? Are they sinful to God most importantly? Is it my job to police every preacher on words and behaviors? No, but I am my brother’s keeper. If I am faithful to God I will want to keep the dialog open that we may refresh each other with the truth of what we think God has taught on these matters. I would like to submit Rom 14 as a standard for those areas that we find to be doubtful.

megaphone

Ephesians 5:4– neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

Course jesting– greek word Eutrapelia: scurrility, ribaldry, low jesting

Ribaldry– mean, vulgar language; chiefly, obscene language

Vulgar– mean, rustic, rude, low, unrefined, pertaining to the common unlettered people

Obscene– offensive to chastity and delicacy; impure; expressing or presenting to the mind or view something which delicacy, purity and decency forbid

All of the above could certainly be subjective so we need to seek the Holy Ghost to ensure that we are not offending Him in any way with our preaching and ministry. In my limited experiences I have found that being immersed in the filthy language and behaviors of sinners tends to cause us to harden our hearts toward them. Rejection after rejection, repeating the wisdom from the Bible over and again can be very frustrating to say the least. This is why we are called to long suffer brethren, this a a major fruit of the Holy Ghost. Jesus was perfected in His sufferings. Jesus was perfected? Yes, He was completed by it, and we are called to suffer with Him. Don’t you know how grieved He is by all the wicked things that you and I see in the open air? This is just the tip of the iceberg of reality! We see flashes of peoples lives, God sees everything!

Here is some good context for the above verse on course talk and jesting:

Eph 5:5-13 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

So here we see a list of people that will be condemned to God’s wrath, warning not to be a part of that, walk in the light as the Spirit leads, proving it. Having no fellowship with these bad fruits of sin and reproving that! Here is the real exciting part, it’s a shame to speak of these things of what sinners do in the dark, but the reproving of that is shown by the Holy Ghost reproving from within us and out of our mouths!

Prov 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

2 Timothy 2:23-25 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,

2 Tim 4:2-5 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

2 Timothy 2:14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.

1 Corinthians 5:11– But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Railer- One who scoffs, insults, censures or reproaches with opprobrious language.

Opprobrious– Reproachful and contemptuous language.

Here is where Jesus upbraided:

Mat 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

Mar 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Strong’s 3679 ὀνειδέζω oneidezō on-i-did’-zo
From G3681; to defame, that is, rail at, chide, taunt: – cast in teeth, (suffer) reproach, revile, upbraid.
Total KJV occurrences: 10

G3679 ὀνειδέζω oneide
1) to reproach, upbraid, revile
1a) of deserved reproachzō
Thayer Definition:vile
1b) of undeserved reproach, to reed
1c) to upbraid, cast (favours receiv
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s N) in one’s teeth
Part of Speech: verbumber: from G3681
Citing in TDNT: 5:239, 693

So here we see our Savior exampling what to do to whole cities and even his closest disciples. But, these standard setting pontificating popes of the new open air movement know better than Jesus. I do think that preachers can give an undeserved upbraiding, railing, or reproach to someone under their preaching. This would be the danger for us all. If we do so, we should immediately humble ourselves and ask to be forgiven. But, to lump all rebukes, railings, and upbraidings under sin is to then to accuse Jesus of sin. So, just as there could be unholy rebukes, there could be holy rebukes as well. Adam LaCroix who has done a very thoughtful but erroneous teaching on this matter is spreading division and discord once again in the open air community.

I found this video of Br. Ruben Israel to be quite refreshing and challenging at the same time. Warning, many offensive terms from the Holy Bible taught in this teaching. If the German derivative of poo poo offends you, then you may not want to watch.

Here is a link to a document listing all of the verses Ruben uses in this teaching:

HARSH WORDS DOCUMENT

I have preached with Br. Ruben on some occasions and found he is one of the most humble men I know. He has never used this sh$t word in his preaching while I have been with him. I don’t think he uses it as a common term. But, he makes a good point about the way the language is spoken and understood both in ours and different eras. What do people understand and what language do they use, that we are preaching to? Are we ashamed that God has spoken these harsh words through the prophets? Was God too unloving and harsh with the wicked whore of Israel who had trampled His grace over and over again?

Eph 4:29-32 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,

1 Peter 3:8-11– 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

1 Peter 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Colorful Behaviors in the Open Air

What can and can’t we do as we preach to grab the attention of those who are lulled into the sin sick world in which we live? This era is very difficult as the open air preacher battles; iphones, mp4 players with ear buds, tablets, computers, tv, music most of which is filled with gross sin which the carnal mind finds so attractive. As Bro Jesse Morrell wrote of years ago, our preaching must be direct and pointy to the individual concerning their sin. Granted their sin is a shame to speak of, yet we must uncover it and reprove it in order for their mind and heart to become concerned about their eternal destiny. This reality which will happen if they don’t repent often causes a great uproar to the listeners as they have never heard such things from any pastor or ‘Christian’ as they have experience them in our day. Some will try and use Eph 5:4 in regards to coarse jesting as an evidence that some preachers go too far in their attention grabbing and sin. But, again as I explained earlier keep reading the whole passage. Telling dirty jokes to have ‘fun’ with the sinner or enjoy the thoughts of the sin described are not a motive of any open air preacher I know! It is as Bro Jed has explained, “…a sinner is like a nice shiny brand new aluminum trashcan, looks good on the outside. But, we want to rip the lid off of that vessel and dump all the filthy rotten contents out on the ground for all to see!” [not quoted from original source]

This is a great video on many fronts from Bro Jed Smock and Company. It is challenging, edifying, and worthy of examination. I warn you, you will find many extraordinary behaviors that most will criticize without ever having preached in the open air themselves.

2 Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

Titus 1:9 holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

Titus 3:2-3 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Proverbs 12:17-There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Filthy Talk by Bro Cope

Proverbs 15:1– A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 18:23– The poor man uses entreaties, But the rich answers roughly.

Proverbs 20:3– It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel.

Proverbs 25:15– By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks a bone.

Proverbs 26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.

In finality, this is just a good proverb to meditate on…

Proverbs 22:11– He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend.

Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Great video from Bro Jesse Morrell, a highly seasoned and excellent preacher of God’s Word, enjoy!

Lastly, my thoughts are for those of you who are lukewarm in this era, and thus are not even qualified to bring an accusation against those who are actively seeking those that are lost in sin. Do you believe that Jesus will turn you away with the MOST judgement, because you knew what was right but weren’t willing to obey Him? If you are not being a witness for Jesus, shame on you! Repent of not loving Jesus and the lost. Get from behind your keyboard and speak the truths of the Bible to those in darkness and sin.

May God bless you all as you seek Him for your standards of language and behaviors as you preach the truths of Jesus to a lost and dying world.

Typical hypocritical ‘preacher’ from behind his cowardly keyboard trying to rebuke others for that which they would not do, even according to their own standard.

Patience with Divisive a Man

November 24, 2016August 31, 2016 by johnmcglone

by John McGlone

I have been blessed over the last month to develop with a few saints of God the Heartland Openair Preaching and Evangelism Facebook Group, H.O.P.E. Things have been going very well, making connections among the saints in our heartland region. In just a few short weeks we have made some great event coordinations as well. It’s been really good, peaceable, and simple. We are up to about 50 members now, a few outside our region who are checking on what we are doing so they may initiate such a group for their regions. Praise God, wouldn’t it be great to have different regional groups who help announce, coordinate, and work out strategies for the members?

That is the background for the story of a man I am compelled to introduce named Phillip Gage, from Holcomb, MO. who was invited to join our group. From the very first welcome post on the thread, it seemed Phillip made his motives known to correct certain methods and standards for our group. I decided to remove the thread from the board, as one of our tenets is not to bring doctrines to discussion but leave the board for coordination, recruiting, and brainstorming events. He had also used some very vulgar language which I didn’t have time to deal with as I was heading out the door to preach at WKU all day. I offered that he could discuss these things in PM for any members who were willing to do so. I quickly set that up for him to discuss these things with the membership. The thread got quickly out of hand while I was gone with Phillip taking authority where he had none, accusing members of sin, etc. I told the admins to ask Phillip if I could call him, then we would work it out. He agreed and I called him after our hectic day on campus. He seemed apologetic, humble, and yet passionate all at the same time. I agreed he could stay on. I returned home found the thread was much worse than I thought, and how many things that Phillip did causing so much discord and division in such a short amount of time. You dear reader may be wondering what was he so bent out of shape about? He heard other preachers using terms like; faggot, whore, etc and he was grieved in his spirit. I explained my/our view on what may seem like harsh corrupt language comes from a corrupt heart, not from what the culture or even what an individual deems is corrupt. We believe a curse word involves cursing in the heart toward the one whom it is directed. For example, a sinner may say, “F… you preacher go to hell.” We would reply, “God bless you sinner I don’t want you to go to hell!” The same ‘curse’ word hell is involved but where is the cursing in the latter example? Who has the impure or pure heart in these matters? Thus when the open air minister is calling the world to repent of all the filthy, wicked things they promote and love, he must be careful not to have reviling in his heart toward the hearers. These things we witness and see on the streets of NeoSodom are vulgar and a shame to even speak but we are called to expose them.

Eph 4:29-32 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Eph 5:11-13 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

We can easily see there that we should not approve of, or have fellowship with sin. Even speaking of these wicked things sinners do is shameful. But, despite the fact that it is a shame, we have to reprove and expose these things which would mean we must speak of them…from a pure heart not defiled with reviling, hatred, and rioting on our parts. That is our position for the group.

I spoke with Phillip again for about an hour the next day and it became very quickly apparent, he had come to teach our group his arbitrary standard of what speech and methods of open air preaching he approves. At times he would be very patient, then outbursts of passion and anger about how grieved he was about our behavior. He made threats to come and preach against us at the Memphis Pride we had planned. I pointed out to him that if we were in sin, who was it and where was his evidence against them? After a pregnant pause, he offered Marvin Heiman. I immediately cautioned him about accusing brethren and asked for his proof to which he did not offer any. We spoke some more, then I hung up the phone very exhausted from maintaining my composure with a very belligerent phone call.

Over the course of the day the admins of the group came to the conclusion he wasn’t going to be a good fit. We decided that Marvin and I would speak to him the next day by phone, I would be the second witness in regards to Phillip’s accusation against Marvin’s sin, whatever that was. We also decided because it seemed that Phillip was so passionate and accusatory that we would make a recording of it.

The next day we called Phillip and he was agreeable to the recording and discussion parameters of timed sequences with me moderating our time together. I mention that we didn’t desire to publish this audio. However, I have changed my view on this in light of all the trouble he has caused among our members and now other open air groups making false accusations and bringing discord. Here is that talk:

Discussion with Marvin Heiman, Phillip Gage, and John McGlone

We have removed Phillip from our group based on his unwillingness to admit he is wrong about his accusations against Marvin and now the saints of God. At time 11:00 you hear his ideas that we should ostracize brethren, and separate ourselves. The Bible teaches us to seek reconciliation and peace among those of the household of faith, this was our motive and hope with him.

At time 19:01 Phillip asserts that the people that are hearing the words, determine whether or a word is a curse word or not.

The following godly brethren all part of our group had discussions on some level, either on private message or openly; Marvin Heiman, Quentin Deckard, A.T. Love, Joshua Stanley Lovell, and Tim Brown. I will include their testimonies as I receive them. There were many others on the Street Preacher Movement Group, Jim Gilles, et all, who briefly encountered him. This was before he realized that his testimony against me would not just be accepted without some testing by the saints. He began blocking people, including myself.

Pro 6:16-19 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

Tit 3:9-11 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

Heretick Strong’s G141 αἱρετικός aihretikos hahee-ret-ee-kos’
– a schismatic. This word only occurs once in the KJV translation

I publish this blog post to make it apparent to all the saints how we have tried to work with Phillip, but he would not put down his unbiblical views on words and methods in the open air. I also do this to warn and make aware to everyone in the open air holiness community of this divider of the brethren that they may call him to repentance. Thank you. May God bless you as you seek to glorify the Son!

One of the last correspondences Phillip gave to me was this pm, which he assumes many things based on a slanderous website against many open air preachers:

Phillip Gage

You’re living in adultery- remarried after divorce before your wife was dead. Without a doubt you have a gay daughter.

Who are you to lead men of God in organized activities and call yourself a preacher? You are disqualified from your post by your own admissions. Please refrain from speaking to me ever again. I WILL BE TO SEE YOU IN MEMPHIS. God has put me on you like a bloodhound buddy. You will be forced underground for what youve done

8:19am

John McGlone

More wicked accusations. You still up for the debate then?

8:19am

Phillip Gage

Shoooooot yeah.

Memphis it is

Its the truth, freak.

Actually …..NO. Im not even allowed to eat with you

But will be preaching against you and the other heathens like you

8:20am

John McGlone

I am not asking for a meal at this point but a public debate of your wicked accusations.

8:20am

Phillip Gage

This isnt a joke man. Youve drawn Gods attention for some reason

Your done, McGlone

God will not be mocked

8:21am

John McGlone

I’m not joking with you accuser.

8:22am

Phillip Gage

Br. John McGlone Witnessing to a Chat Rep from Sears

July 12, 2016 by johnmcglone

Taking Time to Plow, Plant, and Water with Salesmen, Technicians, Pollsters, and other Souls Online, the Phone or Anywhere!

Jesse White
Maytag introduced its spokesman as “the loneliest guy in town” in 1967, in a campaign created by its ad agency at the time, Leo Burnett Chicago. Jesse White played the role for more than two decades, filming 68 commercials as the character who cultivates habits such as solitaire, crossword puzzles and bead work because he is rarely called upon to repair a machine. He would also come to be known as “Ol’ Lonely.”

We have several refrigerators/freezers in our home, which get abused sometimes and I have to order parts for them. I started an online chat with a Sears Parts Support Technician, named Spencer, I really enjoyed chatting with him from the beginning of our interaction. But, you will see by the end of our conversation, I purposely turned the conversation to spiritual things. I try to take the time to do this with anyone who I need to call for help, or someone who calls to sell or petition me at home. Have you ever gotten a call from India? I have and they believe in jesus, but their jesus is just one of millions of gods. God knows what He can do in a person’s heart in that land by simple obedience of the saints to be unashamed of Jesus. I hope they will be sober enough to listen to my Gospel presentation, so that we may see them in eternity. One concept that freed me up in evangelism twelve years ago is the subtitle above; plowing, planting, watering with God granting the increase. This is biblical and I realized that I didn’t have to get a ‘convert’ right there but to disciple myself and other believers that we would be about the spiritual agronomy of our Father’s business planting and watering. So, you can see by the end of the conversation we were really interacting on an intimate yet spiritual level even though I don’t know him from Adam. As we ended our call, I wondered after him with compassion, hope,and a prayer that he will actually seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added to him.

john mcglone (23:21:34 GMT) : gr8t….[we had much going back and forth at this point finding two different shelves for two different models, so I’ll cut to the end of the chat]

Spencer (23:35:21 GMT) : I was thinking about it.
john mcglone (23:35:36 GMT) : Okay, if you are guilty where would you go? Good to think carefully about your soul…
Spencer (23:37:04 GMT) : I think he is kind enough and if I will beg for pardon, I will be forgiven.
john mcglone (23:37:43 GMT) : JUDGMENT DAY is not where you get mercy. Mercy must be had in this life while you breathe here or you will be condemned. That is according to the Bible.
Spencer (23:38:15 GMT) : I totally agree, John!
john mcglone (23:38:16 GMT) : He is kind enough to offer you pardon through Jesus Christ now. The Bible says, ‘Today is the day of salvation…”
Spencer (23:38:41 GMT) : Very true!

john mcglone (23:40:40 GMT) : What if you die before you surrender?
Spencer (23:41:12 GMT) : With gods grace, very soon that will happen.

john mcglone (23:42:20 GMT) : Love Jesus, Hate Evil!
Spencer (23:42:45 GMT) : I’m glad to see that someone isn’t afraid to address such a topic.
Spencer (23:42:54 GMT) : It was really nice chatting with you.
Spencer (23:43:01 GMT) : Have a great evening ahead!
john mcglone (23:43:13 GMT) : It’s so important! Nice talking to you as well. I hope to see you in the Kingdom of Christ!
Spencer (23:43:29 GMT) : Me too, John!
Take care!
john mcglone (23:43:32 GMT) : Good bye Spence…

Dear friend in Christ if you look at the ‘hook’ highlighted in red above you will find that it is an excellent spiritual question which; brings about the hard topic of death, urgency of ‘today’, shows compassion[God forbid], names the Name of Christ, and asks them to judge themselves whether they be guilty or innocent[appeal to the conscience/law]. This gives them time to really think about their own life IF they stood before God today. Then you will see the fishing line of the blue highlighted question, “If you are guilty, where will you go, heaven or hell?” Which really is an attention grabber and opens them up to humble interactions.

Saints, I hope you are encouraged and edified with these concepts/ideas and practice and implementing them right away. Lastly, you will find this works anywhere, anytime, with anyone of any religion, cultural, or experiential background. Try it in line at Walmart, Lowes, at the auto repair shop, school, your ‘church’, etc.

May God bless you with many Kingdom rewards for His glory!

America in Distress! Flying Our Flag Union Down

July 7, 2016July 6, 2016 by johnmcglone

downflag — Flying the Colors Union Down, July 4, 2016 Nashville, TN

by John McGlone

Today I took my retirement flag out of it’s case of 15 years, and flew it upside down at the 4th of July event in Nashville. This was a warning and sign of imminent danger and distress for our country. See subpara (a) It got lots of attention all day long as I knew it would. However, I am not seeking to disrespect our country, flag, or people by doing so.

I am not a homosexual, socialist, or Muslim who was burning or stomping on our flag. I am a Christian American who served 21 years in the Navy, exercising my duty to warn my countrymen displaying our flag in a lawful manner. Not many know of this display, but I have handled the Ensign and Union Jack for our ships thousands of times. Ceremonies daily at 0800 every morning, sunset every evening, funerals, burials at sea, ship commissioning, decommissioning, gun salutes, etc…This display got lots of emotional tirades, some humble questions, and lots of thought provoking of careless Americans on one of our most celebrated of holidays in Nashville , TN where the week before the District Court was bathed in homosexual rainbow banners/flags flying high and ‘proud’.

Here are some of the reasons why God is angry with Americans and is judging our country: 1. Abortion 60 million plus innocent babies murdered 2.Homo and Hetero Sexual perversions/approval 3. Militant Feminism 4. Destruction of the Family 5. Corrupt Goverment/politicians 6. Wicked Educational, Medical, Social, and Financial establishments. 7. Rejecting God and His Word in every area of our culture.

This demonstration of our union down as we fly ‘Old glory’ is a lawful way to display our flag as you can see here. I am warning, God’s JUDGMENT is about to fall. Homo and Hetero Sodomy is a threat to National Security! God firebombed Sodom and Gomorrah for these very things. We are putting our lives and property in dire danger and imminent distress of God wrath IF we don’t repent of our national and individual sins!

U.S. Code › Title 4 › Chapter 1 › § 8
4 U.S. Code § 8 – Respect for flag

Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)

US Code
Notes
prev | next

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
(Added Pub. L. 105–225, § 2(a), Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1497.)

This retirement flag which I received after 21 years of military service in the U.S. Navy had been flown over the U.S.S. Arizona if any know what that means and where that is…

Lastly a warning from Scripture for all you patriots out there:

2 Pet 2:4-22 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Instead of singing, “God bless America”, we need to start blessing God both in song and our conduct. May God stay His hand of execution that we may repent as a nation and return to Him who establishes nations.

Is God Blessing or Cursing America?

July 7, 2016July 4, 2016 by johnmcglone

Celebrating the Blessing or Cursing of God

– July 4th, 2016

2 Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

During this patriotic season and celebration of the Independence of America, I am torn and conflicted in many ways. I have my experiences, my family’s emigration, heritage and military service to it, our people, our ‘freedoms’ enjoyed by no other nation, our civil and Constitutional foundation and framework, the blood and lives of my countrymen shed and laid down for it, the traditions of our fathers, etc all come to a head and in conflict against concepts I see in the Bible. America needs to become dependent on God once again.

What is the complete concept that is expressed in the previous passage from 1 Chr 7? It is God speaking to Solomon, the wisest man/leader the world has ever seen about the condition of God’s land and people and what God would do in response the the people’s idolatry and if they fail to repent of their wickedness. This nation that we live in has been greatly blessed by the Creator of the Universe because we have honored Him in the past with obedience to His law and statutes as a people.

2 Chr 7:12-22 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

This word evil doesn’t just mean moral impurity, it also means destruction. We know that God is morally perfect and pure so this certainly means of God’s willingness to bring destruction upon the people and the land with great consequences. This is what is currently happening to America. Our land which has been defiled with abortion, sexual deviations like homosexuality, bestiality, and pedophlia, divorce, pornography, fornication, corrupt politics, greed, and false teachers. This has led us into not a backsliding from the faith once delivered to the saints, but is a moral and religious freefall where we see ‘churches’ marching in gay pride parades, approving, and promoting such wickedness even to the children where no standard of conduct is imposed upon anyone because ‘Christians’ have been lied to and convinced that judgment is not allowed in the aforesaid faith. We can’t even examine or judge ourselves, according to them, though the Bible clearly teaches that we should. See webpage here on CHRISTIAN JUDGMENT.

Isa 13:9-13 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Pro 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When will our people learn that God is not fooled by our theologies, our pastors, our desire for secret sin, which are an abomination to Him? We have churches filled on every corner, yet we can’t muster a squad of godly men in a city like Nashville, Louisville or even LA to carry the trumpet and banners of the Lord to the enemies of God. We have churches filled with people who have made up a god for themselves. His name is jesus christ. He is another christ, another gospel which the Bible clearly warns against.

May God stay His Hand of Judgment, If my people will…
