In this sermon we look at some very interesting comparisons between the books of Exodus and Revelation. You will see that many of the things which God did through Moses, will in fact be repeated again during the Great Tribulation!
Just as God called Israel out of Egypt in the book of Exodus, He will again force the Jews to eventually flee from Jerusalem which is identified spiritually as "Sodom and Egypt" in the book of Revelation.
This sermon is concluded with a brief salvation message. If you miss the rapture because you are lost, you might just end up eventually as bird food!
As I have previously said when posting this incredibly poignant hymn, it is the saddest one for any Christian to sing, whose loved one was Almost Persuaded,... but lost!
“Almost persuaded” now to believe; “Almost persuaded” Christ to receive; Seems now some soul to say, “Go, Spirit, go Thy way, Some more convenient day On Thee I’ll call.”
“Almost persuaded,” come, come today; “Almost persuaded,” turn not away; Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near Prayers rise from hearts so dear; O wanderer, come!
“Almost persuaded,” harvest is past! “Almost persuaded,” doom comes at last! “Almost” cannot avail; “Almost” is but to fail! Sad, sad, that bitter wail— “Almost,” but lost!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

What Muslims are saying about our Bible
And they would be right, wouldn't they, in view of the hundreds of COPYRIGHTED PERversions in existence!!
Isn't it a shame that so-called "Christians" only serve to reinforce such belief? They themselves cannot explain such for they do not know the history of the true word of God, and how it is preserved for us, just as He promised!

What Muslims are saying about our Bible
“How can Christians say The Bible is the infallible words of God when it has been changed so many times and there are so many contradictory versions? The Quran has never been changed.”
At one of the Bible clubs on Facebook where we were discussing the various Bible versions and how different they are, I mentioned how the Muslims have many articles on the internet where they criticize the Bible as being corrupt and full of errors and contradictions. One of the members was not aware of this, so I decided to document some of what I have seen on the internet the last few years.
#1. Ex Harvard Divinity School graduate and former preacher says texts of Bible have been corrupted and changed, and is now a Muslim.
30 minute video. At 8 minutes into the interview, he begins to talk about how there have been many changes in the Bible texts that raise “serious, serious questions” about the Fundamental beliefs of Christianity that affect the Trinity, the Sonship of Jesus, the crucifixion of Jesus, the atonement and the blood. He says that he learned all these things in Seminary and that after graduation half of his class then left the Christian ministry.
Both Muslims refer favorably to Dr. Bart Ehrman, who himself says he was once a “born again Christian”, but then studied Textual Criticism under Bruce Metzger and now calls himself “a happy agnostic”. Bart Ehrman has written several books like “Misquoting Jesus” and is now going around the country to many universities and giving talks about how the Bible is a man made invention full of errors and textual corruptions.
(My note: I have read Bart Ehrman’s book and also written an article that examines his claims about the New Testament and his “happy agnosticism” - You can see it here if you like:http://brandplucked.webs.com/misquotjesusbartehrma.htm
)
#2. Here is a Muslim site by Osama Abdallah which has many articles that “prove” the Bible is corrupt and contradictory.
This Muslim states: “This chart is by no means complete.
Most Christians recognize the New World Translation (NWT - Jehovah's Witness Bible) for the corrupt work it is. What most Christians don't recognize is the same corruption in their own "Christian" bibles!
Then he lists about 25 different verses taken from the King James Bible, the NIV, NASB and the New World translation and lays them down side by side to show how different they are. (My note: he could have listed hundreds more - http://brandplucked.webs.com/biblebabel1.htm
They factually explode the often quoted statement by textual critic Bruce Metger and repeated by most modern version promoters that “The N.T. text is 99.5% authenticated”.
(My Note: This false claim of 99.5% the same for all New Testament versions IS false. In this instance the Muslim scholars are being more truthful than the modern day Evangelicals. Here is the proof - http://brandplucked.webs.com/arebibles995same.htm
)
In their Conclusion at Islamic Awareness they state: “We can see that the modern day textual critics portray a very different set of statistics quite contrary to the over-hyped claims of the missionaries and apologists. The Alands, discussing the differences between seven popular critical editions of the New Testament, excluding orthographic differences and differences of only one word, calculate that 62.9% of the verses of the entire New Testament are in agreement with each other. Similarly, if we look at the statistics for the gospels, we find that there is a 54.5% agreement.If we look at the textual "certainty" of the United Bible Societies' The Greek New Testament, a text which is based on the decisions of a committee, the result is close to 83.5%. There is no mention of 99.5% agreement here. In a twist of irony further compounding the foolishness of the missionaries' and apologists' position, the Bibles they use (normally the NIV version) are based on the very same critical editions of the New Testament by the very same people who have calculated the above percentages!”
(My note: At our Which Version club a member asked me if I really believed these statistics by the Alands, etc. Well, Yes. That is what they say as can be seen here where they discuss the Greek New Testament (it is NOT a Muslim site) -
In "The Text Of The New Testament", Kurt Aland and Barbara Aland compare the total number of variant-free verses, and the number of variants per page (excluding orthographic errors), among the seven major editions of the Greek NT (Tischendorf, Westcott-Hort, von Soden, Vogels, Merk, Bover and Nestle-Aland) concluding 62.9% agreement.” - K. Aland and B. Aland, "The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions & to the Theory & Practice of Modern Textual Criticism", 1995, op. cit., p. 29-30.
(My note: And then they call this 62.9% “an amazing agreement among the Greek texts, greater than the textual scholars would have suspected.”!!!
And even then the Alands did not include the Trinitarian Bible Society Greek text by Scrivener that shows the Greek text that underlies the King James Bible. If they had included it in their comparison study, the textual agreement would be much less than their 62.9%.)
#4. At another Muslim site, in an article titled "Answers to a Muslim Critic" a man named Khaled answers a professing convert to Christianity
"Since all these different versions of Bibles on the earth today do not agree with each other - does this mean, that they are accusing each other of being "suspect of corruption"?
The preface to one of the most accurately translated Bibles (Revised Standard Version) says on the second page, "Yet, the King James Version has grave defects." - That is definitely accusation of being "suspect of corruption."
The Catholic Bible (based on the Latin Vulgate of the fourth century) has 73 books, while the Protestant Bible (one thousand years later) only has 66 books. One of them (or both?) is obviously corrupt. Which one? The new one (66 books)? Or the old one (73 books)?
The scholars of the Old Testament state very clear in all of their works, they no longer have the original documents penned by any prophet, (peace be upon them all). So the scholars of Old Testament claim they do not have the exact texts and they also state clearly there many are different versions. Does this mean they are accusing the Old Testament of being "suspect and it should not be accepted as authentic testimony"?
***[my note - I think this Muslim is referring to Jeremiah 8:8 as found in several modern versions. Not to the King James Bible translation of this verse. "the pen of the scribes is in vain" The KJB got it right. Many modern versions do not. See my article on this here:
The Muslim continues: "Scholars of New Testament state without doubt, they do not possess the actual texts of any of Jesus' (peace be upon him) companions - and no one has ever claimed to have anything written by Jesus or even anything recited by him. Does this not indicate "suspect and it should not be accepted as authentic testimony"?
What do you say about the Bible? Do you claim it is suspect and should not be accepted as authentic testimony? Or do you claim you have the original? Or do you even know what language the Bible came in originally?... According to your own words, by your own standards, the Bible has been accused and is suspect by experts and therefore, you have nothing to offer at all.
" What parts of the Bible do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth?
First of all, it is important to know that if the "Bibles" of today, with all their versions and differences in the quantity of their "books" and "gospels", were in fact the Original Holy Word of GOD Almighty, then there would be no need for the Noble Quran. But since they are corrupt, then we obviously can't consider them as GOD Almighty's Holy and Divine Words.
The Noble Quran came to confirm Truth that exists in the Manuscripts in the different canons and to filter out Truth from falsehood in them. Allah Almighty never claimed that the bible is fully and 100% Divine. Islam is a witness on the Bible. It filters out the truth from falsehood and corruption in the Bible. The Noble Quran only recognizes the Bible as a HISTORY BOOK with errors and man's alteration in it. Anything that agrees 100% with Islam is valid, and anything else that has even the slightest disagreement with Islam is discarded."
#6. And on a less formal level, you will find many Muslim blogs on the internet that proclaim the Bible has been corrupted. Here is one such blog by a Muslim man names Ahajahan Ahmed
“It is a fact that the Bible is corrupt, Christian scholars have been saying so for hundreds of years and yet they have no problem to use verses of the Bible to justify their theology.”
Abdullah Says:
January 29, 2010 at 6:33 pm
“No, Christian scholars have been saying that the text contains errors, contradictions, alterations and unintelligible verses. Moreover, we know this to be true because we read the Bible. Only the blind cannot see.”
(End of comments made by Muslims and their beliefs about how The Bible has been corrupted.”)
The Infallibility of the Scriptures and the absolute truthfulness of The Bible is under attack today like at no other time in history. What has changed is that it is no longer just the Atheists, the Skeptics, the Muslims and other Bible bashers that are claiming that there is no such thing as a complete, inspired and 100% true Holy Bible in any language, but most professing Christians as well.
I and many others Christians believe God HAS GIVEN us “the book of the LORD” that is 100% true and it is in the end time universal language of English, and more specifically, the King James Holy Bible.
By His grace, believing The Book,
“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:15

What does the bible say about "soul-winning"? Is it the duty of every Christian? Is there a right way and a wrong way to witness to people? What about Ezekiel 3:18-21?
In this sermon, we look at what the bible has to say about this issue of Christian soul-winning. Pastor Delewski clearly shows from the scriptures that there is a wrong way to preach the gospel, as well as a wrong motive.
This is the first part of a three-part sermon, covering this very important issue. Next week we will be looking at the best scriptures to use for evangelizing the lost.
In this sermon we look at some of the scriptures which should be used when witnessing to a lost man or woman.
We also look at how to start the conversation, and the need for showing the person that they are sinners by taking them to God's law, the 10 commandments.
Next we discuss when to pray the sinner's prayer, as well as making sure that THEY are ready to make the decision to be saved on their own. Pastor Delewski clearly shows that it is wrong to force a decision!
Finally we discuss the need for scriptural discipleship, AFTER the person has received Jesus Christ.
Jessie Delewski | End NotesBible Believers FellowshipSUN 06/27/2010
In the third part of the series, Jessie Delewski discusses two very important factors. First we look at the right and the wrong kind of "Lordship Salvation".
Next we look at what is necessary to receive the "free gift" of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
What happens to a Christian at death? Where did Old Testament saints go when they died? Why did Jesus Christ go down to "the heart of the earth" after His death?
We will answer all of these questions in this message. You will see that death is not to be feared if you are a Christian!
When we see Christ Lyrics and Composer: Esther Kerr Rusthoi
Oft times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear, We're tempted to complain, to murmur and despair; But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away, All tears forever over in God's eternal day. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus, Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ; One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase, So bravely run the race till we see Christ. Sometimes the sky looks dark with not a ray of light, We're tossed and driven on, no human help in sight; But there is one in heav'n who knows our deepest care, Let Jesus solve your problem - just go to Him in pray'r. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus, Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ; One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase, So bravely run the race till we see Christ. Life's day will soon be o'er, all storms forever past, We'll cross the great divide, to glory, safe at last; We'll share the joys of heav'n - a harp, a home, a crown, The tempter will be banished, we'll lay our burden down. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus, Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ; One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase, So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
a Jewtile, graduated from Biola with a B.A. in Bible and studied in Israel. She was called into Jewish Missionary work before she met and married Mike. She has authored, Thy People Shall Be My People, an autobiography (available free through Hebrew Christian Witness)
Thy People Shall Be My People, a 249 page book chronicling the autobiography of Ruth June Perl, whose life remarkably parallels the Book of Ruth as recorded in the Old Testament.
Travel along with Ruth, too, and experience her time in the newly born country of Israel (1953-54), thrill to her unique love story (she and her “Boaz” had their first date four days after they were engaged – obviously God was their matchmaker!), and learn of the inception of the Hebrew Christian Witness by Divine Guidance. This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in reading of God's Hand of Faithfulness in the life of His servant.
Excerpts from the Book:
"As my heart thus yearned after what was to me a strange land and people, the Spirit of God seemingly wooing my heart to them, obstacles began to arise. When one is walking in the will of the Lord, obstacles are made to become stepping-stones to the ultimate fulfillment of that will. One of the first obstacles to appear was… "
Also initiating us into our new home were the ever-present snakes, foot-long lizards, multitudes of flies to plague us, and swarms of feasting mosquitoes to dodge! How comforting it was to know the Lords protecting hand was continuously guarding us. The third day there in my devotions the Lord clearly gave me Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions…nothing shall by any means hurt you." I was soon to experience why He gave me that particular verse…
"The way was rough, traveling over the barren hills of Moab, the provisions for these two widows meager. Could it have been anything other than the love and strength of that Presence walking with them that enabled them – enabled Ruth particularly – to set her face unwaveringly toward Bethlehem? Little could she or I know the beautiful valley of fulfillment that lay before us at the end of the long, hard journey. But with this Presence by our side the fears and forebodings were hushed, and the pain of widowhood soothed."
These are live Recordings. They are not professionally produced. Rather, feel welcomed into our living room: pull up an easy chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee, open up your Bible and join with us as God opens His Word to us through Ruth, our teacher.
Here is an account of God's gracious dealings with two committed servants of His with hearts aflame with unquenchable love for Israel, His beloved people. The Book of Ruth is made to live again! The style is clear and polished, and will carry you on almost effortlessly. I warn you that you will not be able to read it dispassionately.
~ Charles ~
This is a beautiful love story of a modern Ruth and Boaz that gives hope of how God works His perfect plan to call and unify the family of God in the Messiah.

"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." — Margaret Sanger
NBC's Today show recently brought tears to my eyes. In disbelief, I watched our nation's mainstream media honor Margaret Sanger, the woman who single-handedly gave birth to Planned Parenthood and the abortion movement. The movement that is responsible for literally millions of terminated souls, including more than 1,200 abortions of African-American children each day!
As Katie Couric heralded this bigoted, racist woman as a heroine for the millennium, my jaw hit the floor. Sanger was described as vivacious, warm, healing and powerfully driven. Ellen Chesler, a Sanger biographer, said Sanger wanted simply to liberate "women to experience their sexuality free of consequence."
While noting Sanger wrote for a socialist weekly and published her own newsletter called The Women Rebel, No Gods, No Masters, NBC failed to mention that she proposed in some writings that Negroes like my parents and grandparents be given the choice of segregation or sterilization. NBC told of Sanger's battles with the Catholic Church, her arrests and self-imposed exile to escape further imprisonment. It was further revealed that she abandoned her husband and three small children "for the cause."
Sanger's grandson said she was so devoted to her "cause" that she was seldom home to care for her own children. One daughter died of pneumonia at the age of four. The report claimed Sanger never recovered from the loss even though they already said "her children were neglected" and "her marriage fell apart" and "she remarried and went on." Is this the behavior of an American hero?
NBC said some of Sanger's supporters objected to her more controversial beliefs regarding population control. But that's all they said. After it was over, I saw blood red through a veil of tears and uncontrollable emotion.
"The Negro Project," which Sanger established to ensure that the African-American population did not outgrow the white population, was never mentioned. To add insult to injury, the segment implied that Sanger should have been honored by this country but never was.
NBC mentioned Sanger's founding of Planned Parenthood and her legacy in the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion as well as her role in the development of the birth control pill. But they failed to mention her writings concerning the creation of, in her words, "government-run farms and homesteads" for "illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope-fiends, morons, mental defectives and epileptics." Witness the misery and anguish massed in the communities we now call ghettos and government housing - where a Planned Parenthood office is readily accessible to encourage abortion and sexual freedom. Compare those communities to non-minority suburbs and tell me that Sanger's undermining of the minority family structure has not been achieved. Why was this not covered?
According to NBC, Sanger "improved the lives of billions of people." I suspect they weren't referring to all the dead and neglected babies. But, then again, babies were dispensable to Sanger - even her own.
Nancy Stevenson, Sanger's great-granddaughter, claimed Sanger made it so that "women today can have it all." I wonder if she is referring to the cold callousness by which women and young girls choose to terminate life in their wombs? Or perhaps that have it all by tossing away their virtue, dignity and innocence on the altar of sexual freedom? Maybe it is because they can now leave their kids with strangers to challenge men to a duel on the battlefield of money, sex and power?
Whatever Stevenson means, there is no question Sanger's efforts changed our society. She succeeded in keeping the population of the Negro down. And she succeeded in influencing both white and black leaders and their followers to adopt philosophies that directly oppose their own religious beliefs.
Sanger also succeeded in corralling the human misery she wanted to isolate. She succeeded in persuading the government to assist her Planned Parenthood clinics in the murder of millions by legalizing and sanctioning a woman's "choice" to determine the fate of her unborn baby. Sanger achieved success by convincing society that being both a career woman and mother was a noble cause, despite her inability to do so. She successfully divided our nation over the issues of birth control, abortion, religion and family.
America's mainstream media has crowned Margaret Sanger a hero to women. I am asking you to make your own stand. Will you ignore the facts and pretend you don't know the truth? Or will you act?
Will you use your own influence and stature and power to combat the evil that has been held up and honored by others. As we observe the 27th anniversary of legal abortion this January 22, will you stand with me and others as we speak out fervently and frequently regarding the humiliation and shame brought upon this country by Margaret Sanger? Will you stand up for what you believe or deny having the knowledge?

WHAT EVERY TRUE CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW: RIGHT DIVISION -Bruscha & One Book Rightly Divided -Stauffer
I must address something that some have suggested about this my blog: "True Christianity vs Roman Catholicism"!
Thankfully, some words have more than one definition! Perhaps it decries the poverty in one's vocabulary to not know this! Therefore, by definition "vs" (versus) ALSO may signify "IN CONTRAST TO."
I would think that the efforts I here make to REACH Roman Catholics would make it obvious to any rational being that I am not AGAINST them! I am against their INSTITUTION, which seeks to keep them blind to the truth of the word of God!
I was raised a Roman Catholic, and was in literal shock when first I read the New Testament! It was only then I realized just what it meant to be a True Bible Believing Christian! I thank God for this discovery!
I have been a Bible-believer for the past 15 years. Praise God He drew me and the Holy Spirit opened my eyes.
My life's mission is to get as many Roman Catholics out of the cult in which they are, quite innocently.
John 6:44a "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him"
Thank you, my dear God, for drawing me into Your fold!
I am the LORD: my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.(Is 42:5-8)
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And 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.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (King James Bible)
Worship of mother and child spread from Babylon to the ends of the earth, called by different names
Madonna and Child "Semiramis became known as the "queen of heaven," and was the prototype from which all other pagan goddesses came." --World Religions by David Terrell - // "Semiramis, in particular was the model and original of every goddess and female cult figure in the ancient and modern worlds." --SEMIRAMIS, QUEEN OF BABYLON by Bryce Self
The following pictures show the lengths to which the Roman Catholic Church will PROSTITUTE ITSELF!
John Paul II in a Mosque KISSING the Koran, just as he does the Bible during services
Here is Pope John Paul II confidently being anointed with the PAGAN "Sign of the Tilak" - A PAGAN RELIGION, NO LESS!!
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to graven images. Isaiah 42:8 (KJB)
John Paul II places Buddha ATOP the Tabernacle, in Assisi, to be WORSHIPPED TOGETHER WITH THE EUCHARIST during the ensuing ECUMENICAL ceremony with Buddhists! Here you see a Buddhist elevating his arms at the Altar!
...so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thess 2:4
POPE WORSHIP: Los Angeles Times, December 12, 1984, quotes John Paul II as saying: "Don't go to God for forgiveness of sins: come to me."
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 KJB
MARY WORSHIP: 1987-MAR-25: In his encyclical Redemptoris Mater, Pope John Paul II "referred to Mary as 'Mediatrix' three times, and as 'Advocate' twice." AND SO, TODAY, THE ROMAN CATHOLICS HAVE HER AS JUST THAT!!
And Roman Catholics notice not the Pagan fish-hat connection? Such satanic-induced blindness!
The Pope's and Pagan Dagon's hats and vestments are alike!
