Our Top Ten Articles of 2024

Greetings, our brethren, friends, and co-workers: In Four Oaks and Fayetteville, North Carolina; Beijing, China; Delta, British Columbia, Canada; and all around the world! Welcome! The Church of Jesus Christ Online Ministries is pleased to present our top ten articles of 2024!

1) Commentary: Does Your Appearance Count? Part II

How important is your appearance? Is the LORD God concerned about how you dress and how you appear? Can you be spiritually clean and yet at the same time be physically unclean?

2) Commentary: Guard Your Mind 

King Solomon, who was blessed with immense wisdom from the LORD God instructs us, “Above all GUARD THE DOOR OF YOUR MIND with diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” – Proverbs 4:23, NET.

           

           3) Personal From... Bitterness ── a terrible spiritual cancer

       Now, in this Personal, I’m going to speak with thunder. The Lord GOD Himself speaks His living word as “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” – Ephesians 6:17. All true Christians are advised in His word to take up this “sword,” as part of the whole armor of God ── to rebuke and withstand in the evil day.

4) Be Not Ignorant of Satan

 In 2015 I had a dream in the night in my head while on my bed, and behold, I saw a young Jewish family on a bright beautiful morning, in which all the males wore yarmulkes, taking pictures. Then as I lifted my eyes I saw a huge armada of spaceships in low earth orbit in which one very tall commander dressed in silver armor with six huge horns that wrapped around from the back of his head, his face shining like the sun in full strength, stood atop one of the ships looking through a pair of binoculars at the earth.

5) COJCOM Announcement:

I feel the Spirit of God would like me to announce:

6) True Christians SHOULD NOT Celebrate "St. Patrick's Day"!

The majority of people view it as a Roman Catholic holiday, while many others look at it as an Irish holiday. But for most, it has become a major drinking holiday!

7) What is "Sanctification by the Spirit"?

What is “sanctification by the Spirit”?

Sadly, the common belief and teaching in this present evil age is that a person who is “sanctified” is spiritually perfect ─ that they are incapable of sinning! But, this is not the true meaning of “sanctification.”

8) Again I say, Unity!

In the Book of Revelation, with the Apostle John’s vision of our Lord Jesus Christ, are a series of seven short letters written to SEVEN churches in Asia Minor, corresponding with modern-day Turkey – Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.

 

9) Personal From... Persecution Continues

YouTube (owned by Google) approved and then a couple days later "disapproved" our sermon "'Blow the Trumpet!'" which was being promoted in the United States and Israel for "violating" their policy-sensitive categories, like religious beliefs!

 10) Letter to our Friends - August 23, 2024

Dear Friends, Brethren, and Co-Workers around the world in Christ Jesus:

Greetings from West Central Florida.

HERE ARE OUR TOP TEN 2023

HERE ARE OUR TOP TEN 2022

HERE ARE OUR TOP TEN 2021

HERE ARE OUR TOP TEN 2020

Commentary: A Celebration to Demons!

“What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20) RATHER, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to DEMONS and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.” – 1 Corinthians 10:19-20.

The month of January (in Latin, Ianuarius) was named after their god Janus in the Roman pantheon.

So, since the LORD God──the very CREATOR God that every Protestant and Catholic alike claims to worship──does not begin a new year on January 1st, what is the origin of January 1st being New Year’s!?

In the year of our Lord 46 BC, Roman general, statesman, and later dictator of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar (12 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) declared that Ianuarius 1st would mark the beginning of a new year! All of Rome (and a great many in Roman conquered lands) prayed to Janus ── their god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. In Bulfinch’s Mythology, he is listed as “A solar deity; a doorkeeper of heaven and patron of the beginning and end of things. He had two faces, one for the rising sun and one for sunset. The first month of the year was named for him. The gates of his temples were kept open in times of war. He was the builder of the Janiculum which Aeneas saw when he set foot on Italian soil.” 1 They would pray to this false god when they wanted something new in their lives (such as resolutions).

So, the very month of JANUARY as well as Julius Caesar’s New Year is not of the LORD God! And, nowhere is it within God’s living word ── the Holy Bible.

Notice what the historian and first theologian to write in Latin (who was a heretic follower and who did not have the proper canon, and was a trinitarian), Tertullian wrote about winter celebrations, such as Saturnalia, in the late second century AD ──

“The Minervalia are as much Minerva's, as the Saturnalia Saturn's; Saturn's, which must necessarily be celebrated even by little slaves at the time of the Saturnalia. New-year's gifts likewise must be caught at, and the Septimontium kept; and all the presents of Midwinter and the feast of Dear Kinsmanship must be exacted; the schools must be wreathed with flowers; the flamens' wives and the ædiles sacrifice; the school is honoured on the appointed holy-days. The same thing takes place on an idol's birthday; every pomp of the devil is frequented. Who will think that these things are befitting to a Christian master, unless it be he who shall think them suitable likewise to one who is not a master? …

But, however, the majority (of Christians) have by this time induced the belief in their mind that it is pardonable if at any time they do what the heathen do, for fear the Name be blasphemed. … To live with heathens is lawful, to die with them is not. Let us live with all; let us be glad with them, out of community of nature, not of superstition. We are peers in soul, not in discipline; fellow possessors of the world, not of error. But if we have no right of communion in matters of this kind with strangers, how far more wicked to celebrate them among brethren! Who can maintain or defend this? … By us, … the Saturnalia and New-year's and Midwinter's festivals and Matronalia are frequented — presents come and go — New-year's gifts — games join their noise — banquets join their din! Oh better fidelity of the nations to their own sect, which claims no solemnity of the Christians for itself! … not Pentecost, even it they had known them, would they have shared with us; for they would fear lest they should seem to be Christians. We are not apprehensive lest we seem to be heathens!” 2

What Tertullian appears to be saying is that by observing Christmas (formally known as Saturnalia) and the New Year’s celebrations, Christians appear as heathens ── following after pagan gods and goddesses! True Christians SHOULD NOT be celebrating days that actually honor pagan gods and goddesses! New Year’s was observed to honor their goddess Strenua ── a goddess of the new year, purification, and wellbeing. She had a shrine and grove at the top of the Via Sacra.

Brethren, celebrating January 1st as a new year is celebrating for and with demons! Because it’s origin is from paganism.

And, how is New Year’s celebrated today? The traditions vary around the world. As an example: In Spain, revelers eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight, one for each chime of the clock. Each grape represents a month of the coming year, and eating them is believed to bring good luck and prosperity. In Japan, the New Year, or Oshogatsu, is a time for purification and renewal. Temples ring their bells 108 times to symbolize the cleansing of 108 earthly desires, according to Buddhist beliefs. And, in Denmark, people literally break into the New Year—by smashing plates! Residents hurl old dishes at the front doors of friends and family as a gesture of affection and good wishes. 3

In the  United States of America, along with other  Western cultures, many people still make New Year’s resolutions. The very expression “strenas diabolicas observare” roughly translates from Google Translate to “to observe diabolical tricks.” So, it is highly likely that New Year’s resolutions ── Interestingly, a study found the practice of resolution setting may be more common in the U.S., as similar polls in Sweden found just 12% to 14% of people set goals for the new year. 4 ── originate from their goddess Strenua – of “purification and well-being.”

When Is the New Year?

The LORD our God has declared to all that the month of Abib/Nisan will be the FIRST MONTH OF A NEW YEAR ──

“Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2) ‘This month [Abib/Nisan] shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.’” – Exodus 12:1-2.

This month is equivalent to late March/early April. In the year 2025, the LORD God’s new year begins March 29th at sunset.

Again, January 1st is not the beginning of a new year for the LORD our God ── or any true follower of Christ Jesus! □

Additional Things To Think About...

A Roman 'Mark' !? - Back in Rome, in the times before our Lord Jesus Christ, the Roman government MARKED people by branding them on their hands and on their foreheads – like a tattoo.

Are We Insane? - More and more people are becoming insane!

Blessing or Curses? - IT IS my understanding that of all the remnants of the churches of God – the Intercontinental Church of God has had the most confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths!

Do They Have God's Spirit? - With a heathen person or a tax collector, you sure don’t want to be around them.

Fluffy Fake Religion - This is exactly what the self-professing Christians are all about. They love their fluffy fake religion and claim it to be Christian, ...

A Great Crisis Strikes Judah! - In the land of Judah, the nation of Israel was confirmed as a nation in 1948. And, it was fully established as such in 1968. So, 75 years ago, the tiny nation in Palestine, Israel, was recognized as a nation. 

The LORD God Does Not Change! - If the LORD God – the family of God which at this time consists of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ – places Their wrath in a certain way onto a nation, a country, or a province, that has done certain abominable things that are against Their divine will thousands of years ago, make no mistake about it, the Eternal our God will do the same to the wicked nations, countries, and provinces in this 21st century world – this present evil age!

Commentary: Like A Jigsaw Puzzle

by Guy C LaMar

What people certainly need to understand is the fact that God’s living word──the Holy Bible──is to be read and studied like putting a jigsaw puzzle together.

In Isaiah 28:9-10, the LORD our God tells us through His faithful servant Isaiah, “’ Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? 10) For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.’”

Reading and studying in this manner, in combination with prayer will give you the FULL STORY of any topic.

As an example: when studying prophecy, one must go to various passages throughout His living word which refers to the specific prophecy. Putting it together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Also, people must understand that only those who are being called by Father God can rightly understand the depths and the riches of God’s living word – cf. John 6:44.

If a person is ignorant of what they don’t understand, then how do they know that they don’t know!?

And, that’s not to say that they are guiltless.

Breaking the LORD God’s righteous and immutable Law is still breaking the Law. God's word says that people in general “willfully forget” - 2 Peter 3:1-7.

The penalty for breaking the Law remains the same. Death – cf. Revelation 20:15; 21:8.

However, the worst people, are those who have been shown God’s living truth──and yet because this truth infringes on their lustful desires and lifestyle, they REFUSE TO RECEIVE IT AND ACCEPT IT──they will be severely punished! – cf. Matthew 10:15; Luke 10:14.

That is being willingly ignorant.

God’s word says that “it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.” And the apostle Peter continues and says that many people will ‘return to their own vomit’! – 2 Peter 2:21-22.

And, our Lord Jesus says of those who outright betray Him, “’ It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.’” – Matthew 26:24.

THEREFORE, I say to you with all the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ – “’ The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT, and believe in [and I add editorially, receive it and accept it] THE GOSPEL.’” Mark 1:15. □

Commentary: Does God Accept Lies?

by Guy C LaMar

“’ You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.’” – Exodus 20:16; Deuteronomy 5:20.

Does the LORD God (the family of God, which at this time consists of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ) accept lies!?

NO!

In fact, the LORD God calls “lying lips an abomination to the LORD” – Proverbs 12:22.

So, never think that substituting customs and days that were originally founded by paganism something that the LORD God is going to accept.

Because it is A LIE!

Xmas is A LIE!

It is not the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It is, however, the supposed birthday of the Pagan sun god──Mithra.

Substituting a pagan god for our Lord Jesus is an abomination.

It is a rotten stinkin’ lie perpetrated by our physical and spiritual enemy──Satan the Devil.

Now, does the overall majority of our peoples actually care?

NO!

They would rather live according to their traditions than the living truth of the Eternal One!

Thus, whether you believe it or not, in the authority of Jesus Christ, those people have DISQUALIFIED themselves as being true Christians.

Now, a person can surely claim they are a Christian──until they are blue in the face──but, that does not make them a true Christian.

Because they’re NOT FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST.

They are, however, following “the god of this age” ── Satan the Devil and his deceiving way! – cf. 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Now, should we as true Christians, just sit on our hands and not care what this world does? Or, should we DO WHAT THE LORD GOD’S LIVING WORD SAYS! And, ‘Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up [our voices] like a trumpet; Tell [the LORD God’s] people their transgression, AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB THEIR SINS’!? As the LORD tells us we should do! TELL THE HOUSE OF JACOB THEIR LIES!

Doing anything that is not pleasing to the LORD God disrespects the LORD God!

And it’s especially worse when you’ve been shown the living truth of God, and you outright reject the LORD God’s truth──because you would rather be a part of the Babylonish system and fit in.

Well, did our Lord Jesus Christ “just fit in”!?

Absolutely not!

God’s living word tells us NOT to “be conformed to this world,” ── to the ways of this world. – Romans 12:2.

Because, if we love the ways of this world, the love of God is not in us. – 1 John 2:15.

Thus we are a fraud if we DO NOT obey the LORD God, but rather accept the ways of this world──which is ruled by Satan the Devil.

As for me and my household, we will serve the Eternal One. □

Additional Commentaries to Consider

Do Not Despair. When week after week things are thrown at our peoples that make them more and more weak─ to the point that they become exceedingly fragile, then it is at that point that they are on the very edge of all things.

The Anointing of Cloths. Just after the New Testament Church of God was built, the apostles and the evangelists continued the HEALING OF THE SICK, as well as preaching the true gospel!

Familiar Traditions. People are used to holding onto their religious traditions over truth and facts because familiar traditions are comfortable to people - but regardless, it doesn't make it truth.

Religiosity. The LORD God established the languages that we speak.

The Covenant Day. IN accordance with the promises that God gave to Abraham, as recorded in Genesis 15:3-6 and Genesis 22:15-18, our Lord Jesus Christ began the New Covenant on Passover day. Therefore the 14th of the 1st month - Passover day - can rightly be called the Covenant Day.

Conspiracy Theories. In this commentary, I’d like to address conspiracy theories – and the largest findings in this area are the politically-based forms of conspiracies.

Some Food For Thought. HERE is just some food for thought.

Commentary: Voting & Choosing Are the Same

by Guy C LaMar

When the LORD God (the family of God, which now consists of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ) admonishes us to choose wise leaders──that is voting.

Voting and choosing are the exact same thing.

I, myself, am an extremely patriotic Right-wing Christian Conservative.

Yet, too many within our Lord Jesus Christ’s Church have completely disconnected themselves from the very government that leads their own lives!

If the LORD God places leaders in office, then we are to respect those leaders. The LORD God knows what is right and wrong──and They are looking at us as to how we will react to what is right and wrong! Whether it be good or evil that is in office.

Brethren, we are to stand up and stand with what is good and right.

It is truth that we are not to conform to this world as true Christians (Romans 12:2; John 15:19; Revelation 18:4). Meaning that this world is full of hypocrisy, vile, evil, and corruption.

However──that has nothing to do with choosing who we believe is the best leader for our own lives as we live in this nation.

The leaders we choose are going to rule over our lives based on their political policies──and this is why it’s extremely important to choose the correct leader for our lives as we live in this nation.

If, as true Christians, we just let everyone run over us, then we are nothing more than worthless cowards.

In this world, we must fight for what is right and stand up for what is right!

The LORD God desires a strong “good soldier of Jesus Christ” ──not a weak and “do nothing” person.

I personally always believed that the numerous splinter churches have been exceedingly wrong in their doctrine of not voting. This doctrine is not of God’s living word – the Holy Bible! I have heard all the arguments──and I do not agree with one of them. It’s just simply their ideology.

After all, our leaders in this world are going to be the very ones who rule over how we live in this nation. If we, as true Christians, are not going to help choose right leaders──leaders that better reflect God’s Way──then we are just setting ourselves up for additional tribulations.

We have to live in this present evil age (cf. John 17:15). It is not conforming to this world by standing up for what is right.

If we, as true Christians, support and stand by a leader who will allow us freedom──then we are making a bold statement concerning our position to the world.

Sadly, some use certain Scriptural passages to try and prove that Christians should not vote── it is “against God” they claim. Yet, they do not study and observe the absolute historical context of what is actually being said. Thus they make Scripture say something that it does not say.

The LORD God’s living immutable word is full of examples of God’s people standing up for a nation. It is full of examples of God’s people being warriors!

And, Christ’s Body – His living Church – should be a glowing example of how His begotten people conduct themselves in this life. The example is there and this example expounds!

Sadly, there are far too many pusillanimous cowards hiding under the umbrella of so-called Christianity! They are nothing more than weak sniveling cowards.

A great many people have made modern Christianity into a religion of compromising pansies.

Truly, the LORD our God tells us to select wise leaders──

“’ Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.’” – Deuteronomy 1:13.

Surely, the LORD God is watching and observing just who you will support and vote for──or if you do at all. Along with the reasons why you support and vote for that leader. It glaringly shows your personal character.

As an example: I vote in every election──and I vote on a moral basis. Because I am making a bold statement that this is the leader with whom I support and stand──based upon true Christian moral standards. I desire to show the LORD God that I am supporting and choosing a leader that best represents good moral character.

And if the person that I voted for wins──good. And if the person that I voted for loses──then surely the LORD God has Their reasons. After all, God’s will be done – cf. Matthew 6:9-10.

But, the LORD our God notes who we support and who we vote for!

And again, we are not conforming to this world because we vote! That is simply hogswallop, taught by people who simply don’t want to vote!

We, brethren, have to live in this world, and this world’s leaders will have a strong bearing on our lives. Their political policies will rule over our lifestyles. And, if we do not have a hand in choosing the right leaders, then we are just simply allowing evil to take control of our lives──without any effort to fight and stop someone who certainly has no reflection whatsoever of God’s Way.

It's a lot like──a person who was shipwrecked and is now floating in a raft on a turbulent sea. The person is praying to God to send help. A rescue helicopter arrives to pick him up, but he refuses to get on board because he says that he’s waiting on God. The rescue helicopter leaves, and sadly he drowns and dies. At his very next moment of consciousness, he is before the LORD God in judgment──and he asks God, “Why didn’t You save me!?” And God replies, “I tried. I sent you a rescue helicopter──but you refused to board.”

That is how it is when true Christians either refuse or simply will not take the time to choose the right leadership. Our future in this world will be based upon what our leaders politically will allow. If you’re just going to sit around on your hands and do nothing──don’t be surprised when you no longer have the freedom to worship God in assembly (as an example).

Personally, I despise liberalism──and will never be friends with it.

A quick checklist of what the LORD God wants us to do is found in Micah──

“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8.

Acting justly means that we live with the proper sense of right and wrong and deal honestly and fairly with those around us. Our Lord Jesus says to us, “’ Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.’” – John 7:24. And we walk humbly with our God by always seeking His will, blessing, and approval on our life’s decisions. The LORD God does not become merely a part of our lives──the LORD God is our life! – Galatians 2:20.

THE CHURCH GIVES US THE EXAMPLE OF HOW WE'RE TO CONDUCT OURSELVES IN SOCIETY! □

Commentary: 'they display their sin like Sodom'

 

by Guy C. LaMar

Queers are servants of Satan the Devil!

They are leading a lifestyle that God Almighty INTENSELY HATES!

Do not be fooled by their fluffy fake “religion.”

Yes, the LORD God hates the lifestyle of these people because of their vile and perverted homosexuality── their Satan-obsessed way.

They are living a lifestyle that is against the natural design of the LORD God.

The LORD God will not tolerate rebellion.

And, the LORD God does not tolerate anyone who is an enabler of this vile sickness. Or any other evil. This particular abomination the LORD God has an intense hatred for.

DO NOT ever stand and accept this putrid vile── this evil! Turn away from it. Speak out against it!

Truly, the reason they get so much attention and praise is── the squeaky wheel gets the grease. When one makes enough noise, they get attention. And, they play the victim card.

True Christians need to ‘cry aloud, spare not; lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell the LORD God’s people their transgressions, And the house of Jacob their sins’! CRY ALOUD AGAINST THIS EVIL! And never be an enabler of it.

But, sadly, this world’s so-called Christian is pretty much a pusillanimous coward ── just going along with the crowd ── claiming, love, love, love! And, being indoctrinated into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), which is part of their WOKE agenda!

Again, hogswallop!

They need to show strength and boldness! They need to exude godly love by hating evil!

God’s living word ── the Holy Bible ── speaks a lot about this vile evilness. And, the result!

Genesis 13:13 – “But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.”

Genesis 18:20-21 – “And the LORD said, ‘Because the outcry AGAINST Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, 21) I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.’”

Genesis 19:4-9, 24-25 – “Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, BOTH OLD AND YOUNG, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5) And they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us THAT WE MAY KNOW THEM CARNALLY.’ 6) So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7) and said, ‘Please, my brethren, DO NOT DO SO WICKEDLY! 8) See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since THIS IS THE REASON they have come under the shadow of my roof.’ 9) And they said, ‘Stand back!’ Then they said, ‘This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.’ So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. … 24) Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens. 25) So He OVERTHREW those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.”

Leviticus 18:22 – “’ You SHALL NOT lie with a male as with a woman. IT IS AN ABOMINATION.

Leviticus 20:13 – “’ If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them HAVE COMMITTED AN ABOMINATION. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.’”

Deuteronomy 22:5 – “’ A woman shall not wear ANYTHING that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD your God.’”

Deuteronomy 23:17-18 – “’ There SHALL BE NO ritual harlot [sodomy and prostitution in religious rituals] of the daughters of Israel, or a perverted one [that is, one practicing sodomy and prostitution in religious rituals] of the sons of Israel. 18) You SHALL NOT bring the wages of a harlot [a prostitute] or the price of a dog to the house of the LORD your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD your God.’”

1st Kings 14:24 – “And there were also perverted persons [that is, one practicing sodomy and prostitution in religious rituals] in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.”

1st Kings 15:12 – “And he banished the perverted persons [that is, one practicing sodomy and prostitution in religious rituals] from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.”

1st Kings 22:46 – “And the rest of the perverted persons [that is, one practicing sodomy and prostitution in religious rituals] who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land.”

2nd Kings 23:7 – “Then he tore down the ritual booths of the perverted persons [that is, one practicing sodomy and prostitution in religious rituals] that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the wooden image.”

Ezekiel 16:49-50 – “’ Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had PRIDE, FULLNESS OF FOOD, and ABUNFANCE OF IDLENESS; NEITHER DID SHE STRENTHEN THE HAND OF THE POOR AND NEEDY. 50) And they were HAUGHTY and COMMITTED ABOMINATION before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.’”

Matthew 19:4-6 – “And He [our Lord Jesus Christ] answered and said to them, ‘Have you not read that He who [created] them at the beginning ‘made them MALE AND FEMALE,’ 5) and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6) So then, they are no longer two but ONE FLESH. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.’”

Romans 1:24-27 – “THEREFORE God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to DISHONOR THEIR BODIES AMONG THEMSELVES, 25) who exchanged the truth of God for THE LIE, and worshiped and served the [created] rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26) For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged THE NATURAL USE for WHAT IS AGAINST NATURE [against the Plan of God]. 27) Likewise also the men, leaving THE NATURAL USE of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing WHAT IS SHAMEFUL, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.”

1st Corinthians 6:6-10 – “DO YOU NOT KNOW that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? DO NOT BE DECEIVED. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

1st Corinthians 6:18 – “FLEE SEXUAL IMMORALITY. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.”

1st Corinthians 7:2 – “NEVERTHELESS, because of SEXUAL IMMORALITY, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.”

1st Timothy 1:9-11 – “KNOWING THIS: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers [A PARRICIDE], for manslayers, 10) for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing THAT IS CONTRARY TO SOUND DOCTRINE, 11) according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.”

Jude 1:7 – “as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, HAVING GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER TO SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND GONE AFTER STRANGE FLESH, are set forth AS AN EXAMPLE, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” □

Commentary: If your brother sins against you

by Guy C. LaMar

Our Lord Jesus Christ speaks about going to our brethren of the faith in private if you have a grievous issue with them ──

“’ Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16) But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17) And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. If he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.’” – Matthew 18:15-17.

Now, if that person HAS NOT displayed the fruits of God’s Spirit as their guide of how to live their life, then… are they truly your brother or sister in Christ!?

No! They are a fraud. They are a fake.

God’s living word – the Holy Bible – warns us that Satan the Devil has ministers that appear to be “ministers of righteousness.” But in reality ── they are nothing more that unwitting servants of Satan the Devil. A person with cunning words.

Remember – Satan the Devil is the “father of lies.” He is the great trickster, the great fooler.

Our Lord Jesus says to us, “’ Beware of false prophets [false ministers and teachers of the faith], who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16) You will know them by their fruits. …’” – Matthew 7:15, 16.

So, we must look to the fruits of the Spirit.

And, the fruits of the Spirit are ──

“ … love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23) gentleness, self-control. …” – Galatians 5:22-23.

We should diligently seek out the living words of God! Diligently seek out the character of our Lord Jesus Christ within someone. That is what we are to be looking for on display in a person that is claiming to be a true Christian. The very character of Jesus Christ.

God’s living word tells us over and over ── and over again ── not to be a part of evil. Here are three ──

“Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; 2) For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking.” – Proverbs 24:1-2.

“But now I have written to you not to keep company with ANYONE named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner──not even to eat with such a person.” – 1 Corinthians 5:11.

“Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits.’” – 1 Corinthians 15:33.

God’s living words tells us that there is a time to be silent and a time to speak concerning evil ──

“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. 20) The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little. 21) The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom.” – Proverbs 10:19-21.

“A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak.” – Ecclesiastes 3:7.

“’ If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter──if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.’” – Leviticus 5:1.

“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” – James 1:19.

One should not use “gentle” words when speaking against evil doers!

The Apostle Paul ── under divine inspiration ──

“Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and OFFENSES,  contrary to the doctrine which you learned, AND AVOID THEM. 18) For those who are such DO NOT SERVE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.” – Romans 16:17-18.

Sadly, many Christians are fooled into thinking that their “brother” or “sister” in Christ is a true Christian ── when in reality, they are not! And they end up getting attacked! In reality that false prophet, false minister and or false teacher is a servant of Satan the Devil.

When you try and help and spiritually lift-up that someone, and that someone turns on you, then sadly you have tried to help an evil spirited-led person.

But narcissism, haughtiness, perversions will keep evildoers in their sin without any recognition to the sin. Because they CAN NOT see past themselves. And, they do not want to see past themselves. They have made THEMSELVES to be as a god in their own eyes.

They are consumed with hypocrisy, lies, and perversions.

This is often a key characteristic of a cult leader. As in a spiritual leader saying ──

“And yet there are people whom I know, who have not sent me one word of congratulations, or appreciation, of literally having my future life saved physically. Not a single word from them! … What the hell is some of these other people doing?”

Recall, a young Jim Jones once threw his Bible on the ground and yelled out, “Too many people are looking at this instead of looking at me!”

This is a mental obsessive disorderly!

Also── here recently, I had an individual ── a rather wild-eyed looking character ── who has an obsession over me! Dogging me rather strongly because I couldn’t give him the attention he desired.

Sadly, these vipers that live behind the computer keyboard do not have a real spiritual social and active life of actually communicating with others that are flesh and blood! It's rather bothersome to me! They are disturbing. Their imagination goes off into places where they presume things about others that are not based in fact. It’s a type of mental obsessive disorderly!

I urge you, brethren── true people of the faith── who actually communicate and have real life fellowship and connection with other living physical brethren that are not behind a computer keyboard STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE! Do not seek to communicate with them! Because you will live to regret it!

Silence can be a key of getting away from troubles and troublesome people.

Never should we entertain wickedness or wicked people with words of connection or encouragement. Simply stay silent. Silence can be a powerful tool.

Their imagination can build into an over boiling hatred── but with time it will simmer.

Sadly, narcissistic people will likely never be able to see past THEMSELVES. Make no audience with such evildoers. People of such are truly not of the LORD God. Catering to such people will only bring you sorrow.

The LORD God has gifted us, brethren, with a wonderful life to live, and our life should not revolve around someone who is greedy for attention. I have a real disdain and a dislike for ministers that are out there in this world with a “god complex.”

We are not to be walking with the LORD God── while holding hands with the Devil! We are not to talk to Satan the Devil. We are not to honor Satan the Devil. And, we are to avoid Satan the Devil.

And the same goes for his cunning servants.

Brethren, avoid such people and get on with your own personal salvation with the LORD God! Don’t allow other people to take your crown──meaning the glorious gift of eternal life── with their selfish and sick egos.

Sadly, there are those of every generation that have allowed themselves to be victims of self-obsessing religious cult leaders.

So often people do not want to admit──even if they are awakened to the fact──that they are actually following a man over Christ Jesus. They are instead following a con man. They refuse to step outside of their comfortable box that they have allowed themselves to be placed into.

Brethren, think for yourselves!

Let the LORD God and the living word──the Holy Bible── lead your life! Let no man lead your life!

Having a righteous leader is perfectly alright. But be careful to find leaders that display the proper characteristics that God’s living word speaks about. And be careful to recognize the con artists that are out there! We should avoid people that obsess over controlling others – or obsess over themselves.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 18 says to have nothing to do with these types. They are not our brethren. They are of Satan the Devil. □

Commentary: The Political Party of LGBTQ+

L-R: Rick Gerharter; X/CatholicArena; Robert Franklin/AP file; Justin Sullivan/Getty Images; Nathan Howard/Bloomberg

by Guy C. LaMar

THERE are a great many topics that I could hit upon, but this particular one that I am speaking on here is being smeared in our faces – daily.

Now, I am NOT saying that the typical corrupt and immoral politicians on the Republican side of the aisle are not LGBTQ+ or their supporters ─ but they appear to be fewer in number.

President Donald J. Trump was once handed a rainbow flag that had written on it “LGBTs for Trump.” Presumably, a Secret Service agent had handed the POTUS the balled-up rainbow flag. He held up the flag and strode around the stage momentarily before handing it back to someone in the audience. However, it was not lost on his supporters that he actually DID NOT mention any LGBTQ+ “rights” in the speech that followed. The MAGA supporters didn’t miss this significance. It is well-known that the POTUS DOES NOT care for this gay agenda.

However, sadly, the modern Democratic Party is clearly the party for the LGBTQ+s!

They absolutely support this gay agenda! In fact, the modern Democrat officeholder Joseph R. Biden, Jr. appointed many sexually immoral transgender catamites to high-level positions in the Biden-Harris Administration.

Understand ─ there was a time not too long ago, that people of the LGBTQ+ community were considered mentally ill. Almost overnight, they were taken off that list! We still consider it a mental illness.

I’ve personally heard of a tragic case of a boy who was molested by men, and when he grew up he ended up regularly practicing homosexuality. His mind became accustomed to sexually immoral perversions. Thus, satanic and demonic influences became the norm for him – this equates to mental illness.

All of which CAN BE rebuked in the name of JESUS CHRIST and overcome! But in our sick and putrid modern-day societies, we are being yoked in the daily intense throes of a Satan-led agenda!

Allow the light of Christ to open your eyes and your mind to the fact that the modern Democratic Party is a political party that is promoting Satan the Devil’s agendas!

One of their largest platforms is the promotion of the LGBTQ+ abomination!

Brethren, there is absolutely no way that a true Christian can support or be a part of the modern Democratic Party regarding proper biblical morals that the LORD God desires for the United States of America!

From the time that I was a small child, I believed that the modern Democratic Party was an evil and disgusting political party. When I first began to observe their supporters, I saw their mental health in decline. I began to witness their hate, their evil, their lack of empathy, their utter stupidity, their adultery, and their vulgarities. Sadly, the modern-day Democrats have been a political party of DESTROYERS! They desire to destroy all points of decency and morality. They have a lacking in good mental understanding.

Now, should any modern-day Democrat see this on our website or Facebook pages, and if you are offended ─ please understand it is not our intention to offend, but rather to educate. As I, personally, can warn you ─ I have a purple passionate disgust for the modern-day Democratic Party and their supporters ─ I continue to see them as mentally ill. They DO NOT have any connection with the LORD God!

One cannot walk with the LORD God while holding hands with the devil.

I know some Democrats that actually try and defend their religious idol – the political left. It’s like trying to defend Satan the Devil. I wish not to be a part of this type. As the LORD says to us in the Book of Amos ── “’ Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?’”

We are also told in God’s living word not to be deceived, “Evil company corrupts good habits. AWAKE to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33-34.

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. DRAW NEAR TO GOD and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” – James 4:7-8.

Brethren, we are like Lot today ── we are living in a corrupt, evil, and sexually immoral world! But, we must “contend earnestly for the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints.” – Jude 3.

The very best thing we can ever hope for is “THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.” – Matthew 6:10. □
