Q: I’m hearing that Jesus quoted from a Greek Old Testament, and the First Twelve Disciples used the Greek Septuagint too. What do you make of that, and does it matter to us today?

Roman Catholic Fables

A: This is utter nonsense propagated, by the Roman Catholic cult, in order to seduce the unwary to accept the Apocrypha and Latin Vulgate Bible as the written word of God.

No, The LORD Jesus Christ never read from the so called “Septuagint”, or quoted, any Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures.

We must always clearly see that the baptism of the Spirit must make us ministering spirits.

The next thought then is, that it must be on the line of operation.

The Apple of His Eye

The child of God who is rocked in the Bosom of the Father, has the sweetest touch of Heaven, and the honey of the word is always in it.

Oh if the saints only knew how precious they are in the sight of God, they would be scarcely able to sleep, for thought of His watchful, loving care.

Oh He is a precious Jesus!

As Free As The Spirit

There are three things in particular, that we must understand concerning the Baptism of the Spirit.

Any Assembly, I don’t care what it is, that puts its hand upon the working of the Spirit, will surely bring trouble to that Assembly.

The Assembly must be as free as the Spirit as possible, and you must allow a certain amount of extravagance when people are “getting through to God”.

Knowing God’s Voice and Will

The man came, and brought the money. I said, “God wants me to talk to you. Now sit down.”

So he sat down, and in ten minutes’ time the whole of his life was unhinged, unravelled, broken up; so broken that like a great big baby he wept, and cried for salvation.

It was “feathers” that did it.

They are not all Israel, which are of Israel

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Can you be half-saved?

Q: Why do some people seem to not get fully saved, even when they do the things required of the Gospel?

A: I know what you mean; there are folks like that in every fellowship, going through the motions with apparent sincerity, but missing the essential marks that set genuine believers apart from make-believers.

The Christian View of Halloween

Halloween is derived from pagan; demon worship, animal sacrifices, and human cannibalism.

Demon Worship of Canaan

The numerous false-gods of Canaan were actually demons following Satan, given the Semitic title Ba’al (Baal), which is roughly translated as lord and master.

Almighty God repeatedly disciplined unfaithful Israel when they fell into Satan’s snare of Baal worship. Num. 25:1-5 KJV;

Let’s Attend To The Living Word of God

The BBC caption reads; A woman paying for her meal in a cafe using the implanted microchip in her hand

The LORD Jesus Christ prophesied two millennia ago, via the Apostle John on the Greek Isle of Patmos, that in these Final Days before Christ returns, Satan would manifest through the antiChrist spirit to control the sale of food and goods throughout the world.

Demon possession

Q: I have a strange question; is it possible for someone who was possessed by multiple demons (at least two by name), and eventually committed suicide at their prompting, to try to “come back” into another person?

Perhaps it is just the demons that possessed him trying to return through my friend (his ex-girlfriend), but they are pretending to be her ex-boyfriend. She is trying to bathe herself in the Holy Spirit, but she has been out of church, and out of His authority for so long, that I feel she is still susceptible to them. Any advice would be a phenomenal blessing at this point. Sherry

A: This is not as complicated as you think.

A Christian Perspective on Halloween

West Coast ‘witches‘ and pretend Pagans attempt to convince you that Halloween is innocent fun, and even claim it has a Christian origin. ‘What harm is there in dressing up as witches and enjoying a party?’ they ask.

Smith Wigglesworth was born of humble circumstances in 1859 at the hamlet of Menston, Yorkshire, England, during the reign of Queen Victoria.

He grew up as a farm labourer, picking turnips whilst a boy, and only learned to read and write after reaching adulthood. His Grandmother led him to Christ in a Primitive Methodist fellowship when he was eight years old. Primitive Methodists were noted for their free, loud, and lively worship.

And The End of The World

What’s Going On Here?

Q: Female circumcision is in the news a lot today described as female genital mutilation, or FGM, why is that? Do Muslims circumcise like Jews? I know they practise male circumcision, but do they really circumcise baby girls?

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Why the PCE KJV?

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Why Suicide is a short-cut to Hell

Q: Why do you say that those who commit suicide are self-murderers? Neil

A: Because that is the truth about suicide.

Intentionally killing yourself has always been termed self-murder, the word “suicide” only became fashionable since the 18th. century.

Let’s listen to The LORD Jesus Christ, Mth. 7:21-29 KJV;

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Only Unity Almighty God Approves…

Is being ONE with HIM through heart-faith in the Precious Blood of Christ the LORD.

Holy Bible, 1 Timothy 2:5-6 KJV;

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
