MEDITATE ON THIS SAYING. LAWYER TALK, "WHEN THE LAW IS AGAINST YOU, ARGUE THE FACTS. WHEN THE FACTS ARE AGAINST YOU, ARGUE THE LAW. WHEN BOTH ARE AGAINST YOU, ATTACK THE PLAINTIFF". R. WINKLE. DEBATE IS A SIN, (ROM:1:29 BEING FILLED WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, FORNICATION, WICKEDNESS, COVETOUSNESS, MALICIOUSNESS; FULL OF ENVY, MURDER, DEBATE, DECEIT, MALIGNITY; WHISPERER,) LAWYERS, "SWEARING", THE MAKING OF A SOLEMN STATEMENT, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY; STRENGTHENED BY MENTIONING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING SACRED IS A MORTAL SIN. WE, AS SAINTS OF GOD ARE ALLOWED TO AFFIRM. JM:5:12 BUT ABOVE ALL THINGS, MY BRETHREN, SWEAR NOT, NEITHER BY HEAVEN, NEITHER BY THE EARTH, NEITHER BY ANY OTHER OATH: BUT LET YOUR YEA; BE YEA, AND YOUR NAY; NAY; LEST YE FALL INTO CONDEMNATION. SATAN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME HAS PLACED HIS CHILDREN IN KEY POSITIONS IN THE PHYSICAL CHURCH DENOMINATIONS, AND THEY DO HIS WILL. AT THE SECOND ECUMENICAL COUNCIL OF NICAEA 787 A.D. THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES, BECAME THE CATHOLIC HOUSES OF IDOLS. I QUOTE FUNK & WAGNALLS ENCYCLOPEDIA "THE SEVENTH ECUMENICAL COUNCIL CONVENED BY IRENE, EMPRESS OF THE EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE, AND ATTENDED BY 375 BISHOPS MOST OF WHOM WERE BYZANTINE. IN SPITE OF STRONG OBJECTIONS BY THE ICONOCLASTS, THE COUNCIL VALIDATED THE VENERATION OF IMAGES AND ORDERED THEIR RESTORATION IN CHURCHES THROUGH OUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE". THE WORD "ICONOCLAST" ARE MEN THAT WISH TO DESTROY ALL IDOLS, AND PICTURES OF IDOLS. THE WORD VENERATION MEANS TO HOLD IN ADORATION, TO WORSHIP. THERE ARE IN THIS PRESENT WORLD BOTH THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. IT IS A FACT. IN THE PARABLE OF THE WHEAT, AND THE TARES, THE WHEAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE TARES ARE IDENTIFIED AS THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. THE WORD "OF" MEANS AS RELATED TO OR PRECEDETH FROM. IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE JESUS IS SPEAKING, MT:13:37 HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, HE THAT SOWETH THE GOOD SEED IS THE SON OF MAN; 38. THE FIELD IS THE WORLD; THE GOOD SEED ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM; BUT THE TARES ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE WICKED ONE; 39. THE ENEMY THAT SOWED THEM IS THE DEVIL; THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE WORLD; AND THE REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS. THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF SATAN'S CHILDREN, AND JUST A FEW OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD. HERE ARE THE SCRIPTURES THAT I BASE MY OPINION ON. MT:7:13 ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIT GATE: FOR WIDE IS THE GATE, AND BROAD IS THE WAY, THAT LEADETH TO DESTRUCTION, AND MANY THERE BE WHICH GO IN THEREAT: 14. BECAUSE STRAIT IS THE GATE, AND NARROW IS THE WAY, WHICH LEADETH UNTO LIFE, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT. THEREFORE WHEN IT COMES TO A VOTE, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IN NUMBERS. SATAN HAS PLACED HIS CHILDREN IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY IN THESE DIFFERENT CHURCH DENOMINATIONS; AND THEY DETERMINE THE DOCTRINE PREACHED. DOCTRINE THAT IS DESIGNED TO SEND THE CHILDREN OF GOD INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. FOR EXAMPLE BOWING BEFORE A IDOL, AND PRAYING TO A IDOL. WHAT IS A IDOL? A IDOL IS A GRAVEN IMAGE, IT MAY BE MADE IN THE FORM OF SOMETHING IN HEAVEN OR IN EARTH. IF A MAN TAKES A BLOCK OF WOOD AND BEGINS TO TAP THAT WOOD WITH A CHISEL IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WOOD LOOKS LIKE A MAN OR BEAST, HE HAS ENGRAVED THE WOOD, AND MADE A GRAVEN IMAGE. I BELIEVE THAT THE SIN OF IDOLATRY WILL SEND MILLIONS, IF NOT BILLIONS, OF PEOPLE INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. MOSES WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS. (EX:20:4 THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING IN HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN WATER UNDER THE EARTH. 5. THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM: FOR I THE LORD THY GOD AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FORTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE ME;) MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS ARE BOWING TO IDOLS. BUT REMEMBER SHADRACK, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO HAD RATHER BE CASTS INTO A FIERY FURNACE, THAN TO BOW TO AN IDOL. DN:3:17 IF IT BE SO, OUR GOD WHOM WE SERVE IS ABLE TO DELIVER US FROM THE BURNING FIERY FURNACE, AND HE WILL DELIVER US OUT OF THINE HAND, O KING. 18. BUT IF NOT, BE IT KNOWN UNTO THEE, O KING, THAT WE WILL NOT SERVE THY GOD, NOR WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE WHICH THOU HAST SET UP. GOD SPOKE THESE WORDS TO ELIJAH. 1KGS:19:18 YET I HAVE LEFT ME SEVEN THOUSAND IN ISRAEL, ALL THE KNEES WHICH HAVE NOT BOWED UNTO BAAL, AND EVERY MOUTH WHICH HATH NOT KISSED HIM. THE APOSTLE JOHN WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS. 1JN:5:21 LITTLE CHILDREN, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. AMEN. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS. 2COR:6:16 AND WHAT AGREEMENT HATH THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH IDOLS? FOR YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD; AS GOD HATH SAID, I WILL DWELL IN THEM, AND WALK IN THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. DAVID, KING OF ISRAEL WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS ABOUT IDOLS, AND IDOLATERS. PS:115:3 BUT OUR GOD IS IN THE HEAVENS: HE HATH DONE WHATSOEVER HE HATH PLEASED. 4. THEIR IDOLS ARE SILVER AND GOLD, THE WORK OF MEN'S HANDS. 5. THEY HAVE MOUTHS, BUT THEY SPEAK NOT: EYES HAVE THEY, BUT THEY SEE NOT: 6. THEY HAVE EARS, BUT THEY HEAR NOT: NOSES HAVE THEY, BUT THEY SMELL NOT: 7. THEY HAVE HANDS, BUT THEY HANDLE NOT: FEET HAVE THEY, BUT THEY WALK NOT; 8. THEY THAT MAKE THEM ARE LIKE UNTO THEM; SO IS EVERY ONE THAT TRUSTETH IN THEM. THIS PRESENT WORLD IS A TIME OF PROBATION FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. ONLY THE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD SHALL MAKE HEAVEN THERE ETERNAL HOME. 1PT:4:18 AND IF THE RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY BE SAVED, WHERE SHALL THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER APPEAR? JESUS SAID THESE WORDS, MT:7:21 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. JESUS CHRIST SAID THESE WORDS, JN:14:15 IF YE LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. 1TM:6:10 FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: WHICH WHILE SOME COVETED AFTER, THEY HAVE ERRED FROM THE FAITH, AND PIERCED THEMSELVES THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS. WHY DO THE MEN IN AUTHORITY IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH REQUIRE THEIR PRIEST, AND NUNS TO TAKE VOWS OF CELIBACY, AND POVERTY WHICH IS THE DOCTRINE OF THE DEVIL. THINK MONEY AND YOU SHALL BE VERY CLOSE TO THE TRUTH. 1TM:4:1 NOW THE SPIRIT SPEAKETH EXPRESSLY, THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS; 2. SPEAKING LIES IN HYPOCRISY; HAVING THEIR CONSCIENCE SEARED WITH A HOT IRON; 3. FORBIDDING TO MARRY, AND COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS, WHICH GOD HATH CREATED TO BE RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE AND KNOW THE TRUTH. 4. FOR EVERY CREATURE OF GOD IS GOOD, AND NOTHING TO BE REFUSED, IF IT BE RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING. BECAUSE OF THE DOCTRINE OF CELIBACY, THERE IS NOT ONE PRIEST IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH QUALIFIED TO BE A BISHOP. 1TM:3:2 A BISHOP THEN MUST BE BLAMELESS, THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE, VIGILANT, SOBER, OF GOOD BEHAVIOUR, GIVEN TO HOSPITALITY, APT TO TEACH; 3. NOT GIVEN TO WINE, NO STRIKER, NOT GREEDY OF FILTHY LUCRE; BUT PATIENT, NOT A BRAWLER, NOT COVETOUS; 4. ONE THAT RULETH WELL HIS OWN HOUSE, HAVING HIS CHILDREN IN SUBJECTION WITH ALL GRAVITY; 5. (FOR IF A MAN KNOW NOT HOW TO RULE HIS OWN HOUSE, HOW SHALL HE TAKE CARE OF THE CHURCH OF GOD?) THIS PRESENT WORLD IS A TIME OF PROBATION FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. ONLY THE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD WILL MAKE HEAVEN THERE ETERNAL HOME. 1PT:4:18 AND IF THE RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY BE SAVED, WHERE SHALL THE UNGODLY AND SINNER APPEAR? JESUS SAID THESE WORDS, MT:7:21 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. JESUS CHRIST SAID THESE WORDS, JN:14:15 IF YE LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO SELL HIS SOUL? THE BIBLE, THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD , RECORDS THAT IN BABYLON A MAN COULD BUY A SLAVE, OR A MAN'S SOUL. RV:18:11 AND THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH SHALL WEEP AND MOURN OVER HER; FOR NO MAN BUYETH THEIR MERCHANDISE ANY MORE: 13. AND CINNAMON, AND ODOURS, AND OINTMENTS, AND FRANKINCENSE, AND WINE, AND OIL, AND FINE FLOUR, AND WHEAT, AND BEASTS, AND SHEEP, AND HORSES, AND CHARIOTS, AND SLAVES, AND SOULS OF MEN. WHEN MEN PREACH HERESIES, THERE IS A TERRIBLE PRICE TO PAY FOR THAT SIN, HERESY DEFINED IS "LIES, FALSE DOCTRINE, WORDS THAT DO NOT AGREE WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES." HERESIES, IS ONE OF THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, AND MEN THAT COMMIT THE SIN OF HERESY SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GAL:5:19 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE MANIFEST, WHICH ARE THESE; ADULTERY, FORNICATION, UNCLEANNESS, LASCIVIOUSNESS, 20. IDOLATRY, WITCHCRAFT, HATRED, VARIANCE, EMULATIONS, WRATH, STRIFE, SEDITIONS, HERESIES, 21. ENVYINGS, MURDERS, DRUNKENNESS, REVELLINGS, AND SUCH LIKE: OF THE WHICH I TELL YOU BEFORE, AS I HAVE ALSO TOLD YOU IN TIME PAST, THAT THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHAT IS IDOLATRY, THE WORSHIP OF IDOLS. ADULTERY, IS MARRIED PEOPLE HAVING SEX WITH PEOPLE OTHER THAN THEIR SPOUSE. EMULATION, IS COMPETITION, RIVALRY, TRYING TO EQUAL OR EXCEED SOMEONE AT THE SAME THING SUCH AS SPORTS, BIDDING, AUCTIONS. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN HATRED, AND WRATH. WRATH IS HATRED MOVED TO ACTION. PAYDAY IS COMING FOR THOSE THAT DO SUCH THINGS; IN THE RESURRECTION THEY SHALL BE HARVESTED, AND CAST INTO A WINEPRESS; AND THE WINE PRESS SHALL BE TROD AND THE BLOOD PRESSED FROM THEIR BODIES SHALL FILL A GREAT VALLEY UP TO A HORSE'S BRIDLE. IF YOU COUNT THE FURLONG AS AN EIGHTH OF A MILE; BLOOD SHALL RUN UP TO A HORSE'S BRIDLE FOR TWO HUNDRED MILES. RV:14:19 AND THE ANGEL THRUST IN HIS SICKLE INTO THE EARTH, AND GATHERED THE VINE OF THE EARTH, AND CAST IT INTO THE GREAT WINEPRESS OF THE WRATH OF GOD. 20. AND THE WINE PRESS WAS TRODDEN WITHOUT THE CITY, AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF THE WINEPRESS, EVEN UNTO THE HORSE BRIDLES, BY THE SPACE OF A THOUSAND AND SIX HUNDRED FURLONGS. WHEN THE BLOOD IS REMOVED FROM THE BODY ALL LIFE IS OUT OF THE BODY AND THE LIFELESS , BLOODLESS BODY IS KNOWN AS A CARCASE. THE PEOPLE IN THE FLAMES OF HELL ARE REFEREED TO A CARCASES. IS:66:24 AND THEY SHALL GO FORTH, AND LOOK UPON THE CARCASES OF THE MEN THAT HAVE TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME: FOR THEIR WORM SHALL NOT DIE, NEITHER SHALL THEIR FIRE BE QUENCHED; AND THEY SHALL BE AN ABHORRING UNTO ALL FLESH. ACCORDING TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST PARTAKING OF THE LORD'S SUPPER, OR THE HOLY EUCHARIST, BOTH SPECIES; IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO A PERSON'S SALVATION. JN:6:53 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. CATHOLIC PRIEST ARE FORBIDDEN TO GIVE THE FRUIT OF THE VINE TO THE CONGREGATION BY CHURCH ORDINANCE. BUT WITH MUCH POMP THEY PARTAKE OF BOTH SPECIES THEMSELVES. THEY PARTAKE OF THE UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH AFTER IT IS BLESSED BECOMES THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE, WHICH AFTER IT IS BLESSED BECOMES THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. WHY DO THE MEN IN AUTHORITY WITHHOLD THE FRUIT OF THE VINE FROM THE CONGREGATION? THINK MONEY AND YOU WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO THE TRUTH. CATHOLICS PRAY THE ROSARY. PRAYING OF REPETITIOUS PRAYERS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY COMMANDMENT. MT:6:7 BUT WHEN YE PRAY, USE NOT VAIN REPETITIONS, AS THE HEATHEN DO: FOR THEY THINK THAT THEY SHALL BE HEARD FOR THEIR MUCH SPEAKING. CATHOLICS ARE TAUGHT FROM CHILDHOOD TO CALL THEIR PRIEST FATHER. WE AS SAINTS OF GOD, ARE NOT TO CALL ANY MAN "FATHER" TO DO SO IS SIN. MT:23:9 AND CALL NO MAN YOUR FATHER UPON THE EARTH: FOR ONE IS YOUR FATHER, WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. ACCORDING TO FUNK & WAGNALL; POPE NICOLAS 11 , POPE FROM 1059 TO 1061 HIS PONTIFICATE IS KNOWN FOR THE PROGRESS MADE TOWARD ENDING SIMONY AND CONCUBINAGE AMONG THE CLERGY. SIMONY DEFINED, THE PURCHASING OF POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH, "CONCUBINAGE", CONCUBINE DEFINED, A WOMEN THAT PERFORMS ALL THE DUTIES OF A WIFE WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF MARRIAGE. IT IS ONE THING TO COMMIT A SIN IN IGNORANCE, BUT IT IS QUITE ANOTHER THING TO COMMIT A WILLFUL SIN. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES THIS IS THE WAY THE LAW READ. NM:15:27 AND IF ANY SOUL SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE, THEN HE SHALL BRING A SHE GOAT OF THE FIRST YEAR FOR A SIN OFFERING. 28. AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL THAT SINNETH IGNORANTLY, WHEN HE SINNETH BY IGNORANCE BEFORE THE LORD, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM; AND IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM. 30. BUT THE SOUL THAT DOETH OUGHT PRESUMPTUOUSLY, WHETHER HE BE BORN IN THE LAND, OR A STRANGER, THE SAME REPROACHETH THE LORD; AND THAT SOUL SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM AMONG HIS PEOPLE. 31. BECAUSE HE HATH DESPISED THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND HATH BROKEN HIS COMMANDMENT, THAT SOUL SHALL UTTERLY BE CUT OFF; HIS INIQUITY SHALL BE UPON HIM. THE WORD "PRESUMPTUOUSLY" MEANS ARROGANT, AUDACIOUS, FORWARD. THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS READS. AFTER A PERSON HAS RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, AND COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH; IF HE SINS WILFULLY THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. HEB:10:26 FOR IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN, 27. BUT A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING FOR OF JUDGMENT AND FIERY INDIGNATION, WHICH SHALL DEVOUR THE ADVERSARIES. SAINTS OF GOD, WE ARE COMMANDED TO STUDY THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AND NOT TO DO SO IS SIN. THERE ARE PROBABLY MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY STAND BEFORE GOD ON JUDGMENT DAY INTEND TO USE IGNORANCE AS THEIR DEFENSE FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS. NO SYSTEM OF LAW COULD BE EFFECTIVE IF IT ALLOW IGNORANCE TO BE A VALID DEFENSE IN EVERY CASE. FOR MEN WOULD NOT STUDY THE LAW, AND WHEN BROUGHT BEFORE A JUDGE FOR SOME TRANSGRESSION, WOULD SIMPLY SAY THAT THEY WERE IGNORANT THE LAW . PS:32:1 BLESSED IS HE WHOSE TRANSGRESSION IS FORGIVEN, WHOSE SIN IS COVERED.
