Michael and his angels warring against the dragon. And the dragon
and his angels warred, but
did not prevail. Nor was place found for them in Heaven any more. And
the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent called Devil, and Satan,
who deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him. And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven,
Now has come the salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and
the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers is cast
down, who accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame
him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their
testimony. And they did not love their soul until death. Therefore rejoice,
O Heavens, and those tabernacling in them. Woe to the inhabitants of
the earth and in the sea! For the Devil came down to you, having great
wrath, knowing that he has but a little time” (Revelation 12:7-12
MKJV).
Ryan and friends take issue with God's sovereignty, specifically in the
slaying of Kyle Lake, and, though they profess Christ, argue against
His Spirit
and power enabling those who believe to live godly lives. They scoff
at the notion that we have
His mind
and walk as He did, though that is openly declared by His apostles
to be the natural inheritance and will of God for all His saints.
No stone is left unturned in answering every objection to this wonderful
salvation purchased by the blood of the Son of God.
The spirit of Calvin cannot bear to hear or listen to anything but
its own self righteous pet doctrines. Upon being confronted with the
truth, as on this blog, it takes great offense, and, not being able
to enforce corporal punishment, as Calvin did, it mocks and waxes
pious, which are heads and tails of the same corrupt coin of flesh.
Arthur Sido (the voice of one crying out in suburbia...):
Arthur invites us to his blog, hoping for some action there, but is
unable and unwilling to follow through when confronted on his errors
and false
accusations.
Francis Murphy (building missional churches in 21st century):
"Pastor" Murphy attempts to excuse Calvin's murder of Servetus,
not realizing he denies the Holy and Just One by doing so. He offers
the common argument that David and Peter had moral failures in their
lives, so we cannot judge Calvin for his misdeeds. He conveniently
overlooks a total lack of repentance on Calvin's part.
Carla leads a group of hysterical "Christian" women, whose husbands
are nowhere to be seen, in a mass attack against What, they know
not. How utterly
irrational is the religious fool, regardless of sex, for in Satan's
body, as
in Christ's, there is neither male nor female.
Aside from doctrinal teachings, the essence of Calvinism, as with all
isms and man-centric creeds, is pure self-righteousness, in this case
with a particularly virulent twist wherein any viewpoint challenging its
own elicits murderous rage. This rage may be well concealed under the
guise of feminine charm, as with Lisa Nunley, who presents herself as
a dedicated Christian woman of God on her blog but is exposed in the following
correspondence as a deceitful mocker of God.
In the gospels we see that the Lord Jesus Christ addressed
the person and not the persona, the face and not the mask. We do the
same here in the Name and power of the Lord with Mike Ratliff, exposing
the
treacherous spirit behind his “Christian” teacher facade.
His friends get to see it and hear about it, too. Make no mistake,
we are dealing with the synagogue of Satan.
These Blog Wars are public correspondences for a very good reason. While
the children of darkness love to trumpet their goodness before men,
they hate to have their sins and evil ways exposed publicly. Yet this
is the
way of the Lord, Who is no respecter of the privacy of men that they
might do evil privately while performing their good works openly
so
that they can be seen by others as righteous.
The remedy for this charade is the Truth spoken publicly. In this manner
others may also be encouraged to acknowledge “the emperor has no
clothes,” and come out of an illusion that permits great evils.
A crossroads comes into the life of Deborah,
who, seeing the lies and deceitfulness of those participating in these
blogs, is given opportunity to identify with the Truth and answer them,
but chooses to remain silent and keep her life instead.
Is this not a petty matter, of no great significance to the world? On
the contrary, the most important and life-forming decisions are those
that happen in everyday circumstances, where Light and darkness stand
before you and you must choose. The Lord comes as a thief, at a time when
you least expect.
Bob House alerts blog posters at Fighting Fundamental
Forums to Victor’s writing, “Who Then Can Be Saved?!” The
answer, he says, is clearly ALL according to the article, but (he also
says) we misunderstand the word “all.” Paul stands up to the
linguistic shenanigans of Bob and Richard Boyce, and the fight is on.
Everyone forgets their boring intellectual and juvenile religious squabbles
to battle us, and to meet their Maker as we speak His words to them.
