The TempleToday, it is commonly believed that Bible prophecy demands present-day Jerusalem will soon have a rebuilt Temple. Mainstream Judeo-Christianity is looking for - even facilitating - the rebuilding of a new Temple on the Temple mount, currently occupied by a very old Muslim Temple. They teach that these are the last days, and that a new Jewish Temple is key to the arrival of a seven year tribulation.
Feed My SheepLots of preachers preach about the sheep. An immensely popular TV preacher recently preached on Jesus' sheep, and it took him less than a minute to make one of many heart-warming personal applications. In this message, I will present the flock of the Great Shepherd in a way that mainstream Christianity would vigorously reject. I'll give you the Sheep Test. I'll detail what happens to the bad shepherd according to the Word. Finally, I will challenge our leadership to the pressing task at hand.
The Curse of MadnessLook around you. Our corrupt leaders and banks have placed the United States and our people into an intolerable debt situation; the US is the largest debtor nation in history. The Gulf of Mexico oil leak is shaping up to be the biggest environmental disaster in human history. Illegal immigration, violent crimes and subjugation of our people with excessive taxation and usury have placed a yoke on us that our children, and their children, must bear for generations. Our leaders clearly do not know what they are doing. They enact laws contrary to common sense and sound Biblical teaching. Our faith - the faith of Abraham - has been losing ground for centuries to the faiths of other peoples. We are in enslavement and in bondage because of laws of our own creation. The sense of reason has escaped us as we spiral down to a third-world nation.
The Resurrection of the DeadFor many centuries, believers have been taught that there will be a future, literal resurrection of the dead. Long dead cells scattered in oceans, urns and fecal matter (as well as the earth) would be reassembled and reanimated into a glorified body.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. (the Nicene Creed)On the great day of the Second Coming of the Son of Man, the General Resurrection of the Dead will occur. All people will rise from their graves in a transformed state. (orthodoxphotos.com)
Will there be a future bodily resurrection of the dead? Does the Inspired Word of God teach such an idea? Questioning this idea has traditionally resulted in the removal of fellowship, and the labeling as "heretic".
AdamFive hundred years ago, Pope Julius II had a big problem. The Catholic Church, which taught that Adam was the first human being, had neatly organized all races of human beings under Ham, Shem and Japheth. But when Christopher Columbus returned from the Americas with human beings found there, Pope Julius II had to figure out where these people came from. He concluded that the American Indians were descendants of the sinful Babylonians; some of which were destroyed in the Flood, and the rest were banished to the wilderness long ago.
This is the kind of silliness we engage in when we believe things which are not true - things which the Bible, history and nature do not teach.
Today, Creation Science teaches that Adam was the first human being on planet earth. Most mainstream Christian teachers and writers today impose this idea on the Body of Christ, and - like Pope Julius II - fabricate outrageous stories to facilitate their erroneous conclusions.
Are You Redeemed?What does this "redemption" mean? Are you redeemed now? The answers may surprise you. Here is one of the most-quoted passages concerning Redemption in the Holy Word:
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13-14)
Growing up in the Christian Church, I had the vague idea that redemption was related to salvation. I really didn't know anything more about it. If somebody asked me about it, I faked it. For over 30 years, it turns out that I didn't understand this fundamental part of my faith, because I didn't understand several other fundamental things: namely, the identity of Israel , their covenant relationship to their God, Yahweh, and the timing of the fulfillment of the redemptive promises. It was not preached from the pulpit, and it wasn't covered in Bible study material.
The Unclean ThingThere are many things that mainstream Judeo-Christianity believes which are biblically and historically unsupportable; they are are made-up myths and fantasies built around false doctrines that need to be exposed. As long as our Lord gives me breath and will use me as a mouthpiece, I will speak out against their false prophets and false teachings.
There are also well-meaning men who call themselves "leaders" in the Body of Christ that hold to common false doctrines, but have not been confronted - or even considered - the error in their beliefs. From their youth, they have been brought up to believe falsehoods, and unwittingly pass false doctrines on to the sheep.

Get Yer Irish Up!But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee... (Deuteronomyh 28:15)
Here is something that you do not hear from most pulpits today. Christians should not always be nice. They should not always obey those who rule over them. They should be armed and ready to fight. They should expose and purge the evil and unrighteous among them according to the Law. If we do not do these things, we will come under judgment.
The Native AmericanReading portions of the book of Ezekiel, Chapter 27:
And say to Tyre , 0 you who dwell at entrance to the sea, who are merchants of the peoples of many islands and coastlands. . . The inhabitants of Sion and [the island] of Arvad were your oarsmen; your skilled wise men, O Tyre , were in you, they were your pilots. The old men of Gebal [a city north of Sidon ] and its skilled and wise men in you were your calkers; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to deal in your merchandise and trading... Your rowers brought you out into the great and deep waters; the east wind has broken and wrecked you in the heart of the seas . . . When your wares came forth from the seas, you met the desire, and the demand, and the necessity of many people; you enriched the KINGS OF THE EARTH with your abundant wealth and merchandise. Now you are shattered by the seas... (the Amplified Bible)
