The devil does not want the common people to have a final authority (KJB) and when they do, casts doubt on it with corrupt translations.

The Answer Book by Samuel C. Gipp (Read online)
http://samgipp.com/answerbook/
The reason for this book is two-fold. First, it was written to answer the raft of questions used by critics of the King James Bible to attack and destroy the faith of anyone who really BELIEVES that the Bible is infallible. The style is such that its arguments can be understood and advanced by one who has NOT had the benefit (or curse) of a Bible college education. This brings us to the second reason for its existence. Some time ago a leader of a large fundamental movement made the statement, "What really fires me is... these guys with a High School education debating textual criticism."

That is the second purpose of this book. For years those faithful folk who have not been to college have been bullied around for their lack of formal education by an arm load of D.D.'s who seek to keep them "in the dark." Many of these people have done more serious study of the Bible issue in the privacy of their homes than the honorarily doctored critics have in college classrooms. Yet the common man is often intimidated by the "trick" questions asked by his "educated" foe. The critic feels invincible in his armor of education.

This book is written so that the ordinary Christian will be properly equipped to defend him or herself from the fiery darts of their pompous foes. In fact, they may even punch a few holes in their armor.

An Understandable History of the Bible by Samuel C. Gipp (Read online)

Where is the Bible? How did we get it? These questions, though simple, have baffled the mind of man for years. Even Christians today wonder if they really have the Word of God. Most Christians are interested in how the Bible came to us through history.

Many authors, in an attempt to explain how we got our Bible, have clouded the issue in the gray language of the scholar's union, causing more puzzled looks than answered questions.

You will find that this book is, as its name implies, An Understandable History of the Bible. For seven years it has been "field tested" in the hands of the common man. From steel worker to Greek scholar, from housewife to missionary, all have been im- pressed by its easily understood style.

You, dear reader, may find the answer to many of the questions you have about the word of God. You will certainly find it educational. After all, it was written for you.

BECK'S RESTORING LOVE PROGRAM FBIS Extra by David Cloud

BECK'S RESTORING LOVE PROGRAM

BECK’S RESTORING LOVE PROGRAM
 
July 30, 2012 (David Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org; for instructions about subscribing and unsubscribing or changing addresses, see the information paragraph at the end of the article) 
 
The recent four-day Restoring Love event in Dallas, Texas, with its 40,000 participants, is the latest incarnation of Glenn Beck’s save America campaign. He has also called it the Third Reformation, Divine Destiny, Restoring Honor, and Restoring Courage. 
 
Not content with saving America, Beck’s vision has grown to encompass the globe. He said his Restoring Love campaign “is the beginning of a global movement for freedom for all mankind” (“The Beginning of a Global Movement,” TheBlaze, July 26, 2012). 
 
Restoring Love is a campaign to “make America better” and “reclaim our country.” It is “a new birth of freedom.” Beck promises that “we will have a great country again.” Beck wants to show people throughout the world that “they are not alone; the Americans again have arrived, with honor, courage and love” (“The Transcript of Glenn Beck’s Restoring Love Address,” TheBlaze, July 28, 2012). 
 
The campaign involves political action, social action, and cultural action. 
 
The political action element is large and involves such things as the Tea Party movement (Beck is not the founder and leader of the Tea Party, but he is a big promoter of it) and FreePac, “a national grassroots gathering” held on July 26 in conjunction with Restoring Love.
 
Beck is urging people to join hands together in social action, such as providing meals for the needy, helping in nursing homes, and putting roofs on churches. Beck claimed that over 30,000 volunteers engaged in such things during the four days of Restoring Love. This is to demonstrate that government social programs are unnecessary, and big government is unnecessary, when the people themselves fulfill their obligations to serve their fellow man. 
 
Restoring Love is also a vaguely-defined campaign “to restore the culture” and “take our rightful place back in society” (“Beckstock?” TheBlaze, July 25, 2012). Beck is involved in music, film, television, entertainment, and the web, and recently hired 200 more people for his various enterprises. 
 
Beck also inconsistently claims that “America is good and America is still good” (“The Beginning of a Global Movement,” TheBlaze, July 26, 2012).
 
Glenn Beck is doubtless a sincere man who cares deeply for his country, which is commendable, but in the bright light of Holy Scripture, we can see that he is unwittingly part of the problem rather than the solution. Sincerity in error is error still. Beck is the blind leading the blind. His movement is spiritual confusion of the highest order, and it will only lead to greater divine judgment on our nation.
 
Beck’s movement is a spiritual movement, complete with prayer, preachers, and gospel choirs. Beck says, “America is in its most dangerous hour, and there is only one answer.” That solution, he says, is God. He says, “To have honor, you must be true to God.”
 
But what God is Beck talking about? 
 
From beginning to end, the Bible warns about false gods, and the New Testament warns about false christs and false spirits. Beck’s Mormon god is a false god. So is the god of Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The Mary who is exalted by Rome as the Queen of Heaven and makes appearances and pronouncements about salvation is a demon as clearly identified in Scripture (Jeremiah 7:18). 
 
The eternal God has revealed Himself in the Bible and in the Jesus Christ of the Bible. If this is the true God, then all other gods are false. And the God of the Bible forbids His people to yoke together in spiritual activities with unbelievers and idolators and heretics 
 
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel”? (2 Corinthians 6:14-15). 
 
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Romans 16:17). 
 
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5). 
 
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed” (2 John 9-10).
 
This is not rocket science. Politics are important; politics affect our lives. God’s people should vote and do what they can to affect politics within the bounds of Scripture, but we cannot disobey the Bible and expect God’s blessing. 
 
A Bible-believing Christian can do much to bring God’s blessing on the nation. He can live a godly, separated life in Christ and and seek God’s perfect will and be faithful to a good church and proclaim the gospel and pray for his political leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2). God’s people do not have to be a majority to have a vast influence if they are in the place of God’s blessing. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
 
But when God’s people disobey God’s Word for the sake of any pragmatic objective whatsoever--including the right-sounding objectives of restoring love or recovering America--and when they follow a spiritually-deluded pied piper rather than the clear teaching of the Bible, they can expect judgment and confusion rather than blessing. 
 
Some good will come from Restoring Love, just as some good has come from the “conservative” talk radio movement and the Tea Party movement. Some good has come from Catholicism and Mormonism. But the error and spiritual danger far outweigh the good. 
 
BECK’S CAMPAIGN IS IGNORANT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CAUSE OF AMERICA’S MORAL APOSTASY
 
Beck’s campaigns are following in a long line of similar campaigns, such as the Moral Majority and D. James Kennedy’s Center for Reclaiming America. The massive amount of activity stirred up by these campaigns hasn’t changed the moral climate of America for the better or even slowed the frightful descent into the depths of depravity. Homosexuality has become mainstream, and those who stand for “traditional” marriage are treated like the very enemies of mankind. The vile pop culture with its open rebellion against God’s holy laws and its “do what you want to do” philosophy is more omnipresent and filthy than ever. 
 
These things are but symptoms of a more foundational issue, which is the apostasy and compromise of the churches. 
 
America is under God’s judgment because it has no fear of God, and it has no fear of God because the fear of God is preached from so very few pulpits. What was true in Israel of old is true in America today: “from the prophets ... is profaneness gone forth into all the land” (Jeremiah 23:15). The problem lies in the pulpits and in the individual lives and homes of professing Christians. The problem lies in the vile theological liberalism that has spread through many Baptist and Protestant churches and that makes Christ a liar when He said that “the scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35) and the apostle Paul a liar when he said that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16).
 
The problem lies at the feet of “evangelical” leaders, the Billy Grahams and the Robert Schullers and the Max Lucados and the Greg Lauries and the countless preachers of lesser fame who follow in their footsteps instead of proclaiming and obeying the whole counsel of God’s Word, even the unpopular things such as separation, without compromise and fear. The problem lies in the “conservative” evangelical denominations such as Southern Baptist, which are eaten up with worldliness and spiritual compromise and which are lukewarm at very best. The problem lies even at the feet of “fundamentalist Bible-believing” preachers who are more afraid of what their people think than what God thinks, who are allowing the pop culture to take over the lives of their people, who are allowing the world to enter the very worship services of the church, who are following some big-name spiritual hero more than God’s Word, and who draw back from issuing plain warnings. 
 
The “conservative” political movement does not and cannot address any of this, since the vast majority within the conservative coalitions have little or no problem with the sin and spiritual rebellion represented by the pop culture and they lack true spiritual discernment and so many of them are members of the very churches that are the root of the problems the “conservatives” are trying to solve.
 
Consider Rush Limbaugh, the most prominent “conservative” voice in America today. He is a clever opponent of “liberal, big-government politics,” but spiritually he is part of the nation’s problem rather than its solution, with his unqualified love for rock & roll (he hired the homosexual rocker Elton John to perform for his 2010 wedding), his foul mouth, his use of the name of the Lord in vain, his blasphemy (e.g., calling himself “the all seeing, all knowing, all feeling MahaRushy”), his infuriation toward Bible-believing Christians who have tried to reprove him, his philosophy that homosexuality is not a moral issue since (allegedly) homosexuality is not a choice and that we should not care what people do behind closed doors, his liberal Christian faith (e.g., not believing in God as the Almighty Judge and rejecting the doctrine of hell), his humanism (his “35 Undeniable Truths of Life” are based on humanistic thinking rather than God’s Word), and his four marriages which have made a mockery of the holy marriage covenant.
 
Consider FOX News, which is more conservative and patriotic than major news outlets, but FOX News is no friend of the truth, and its objective is chiefly to entertain and gather mammon. FOX News is owned by Rupert Murdock, one of the biggest purveyors of filth entertainment on earth. FOX is not a friend of Jesus Christ or the Bible, and that is the proper definition of the truth (John 14:6; 17:17). If you watch FOX much you will hear every sort of sorry humanistic philosophy. With very few exceptions, they push the same moral relativism that CNN and MSNBC push. Do they plainly and consistently oppose the homosexual agenda on biblical moral grounds? Do they expose the godless lies of Darwinism? Those are two of the greatest enemies that Bible believers face today, but FOX is essentially mute in the face of the vicious onslaught against God and truth. If you watch FOX News you will also be bombarded with the filthy pop culture. On that line they worship Hollywood and Nashville as fervently as the Los Angeles Times.
 
One of my readers recently wrote, “It was only on deputation when we had more access to TV’s and found when we turned them on, hours would easily be wasted, even just watching FOX News. Not to mention having to continually turn the commercials off. It got so annoying you either wanted to just leave it alone and not turn it off or miss something if you did turn it off. Unfortunately, leaving it on would win, and being aware of this we solidified in our minds we would not have a TV in our home, or cable for that matter. Both the programming and the commercials are written by non-Christians who are trying to influence others with their pagan humanistic philosophies and lifestyles. Cheating, illicit sexual acts, drugs, homosexuality, teens in adult situations, Darwinism, cussing, and all kinds of things Christians shouldn’t be setting before their eyes. Numerous times, even on ‘conservative’ FOX News, they had a story on prostitutes and actually showed a video of pole dancers.” That reader has it right. FOX News might be “conservative” by some standard and definition, but it is no friend of God and truth.
 
Consider Ronald Reagan, the renowned conservative president. Reagan talked about the blessing of small government but he didn’t dismantle any significant part of big government. It was Reagan who launched U.S.-Vatican relations to a new high, which was an abomination in the eyes the Founder of the true church. Under Reagan’s administration formal diplomatic relationships were established between the U.S. and the Vatican. In 1986 Reagan sent a telegram to the Pope commending his syncretistic prayer meeting in Assisi that brought together leaders of Christian denominations and pagan religions to pray for world peace. Reagan exhibited his spiritual blindness by thanking the Pope for his efforts to “lead humanity toward a more tolerant, just and peaceful world” and assured the Mariolator-in-Chief, John Paul II, of his prayers (Christian News, Dec. 22, 1986). (John Paul II was devoted to Mary and had “wholly your’s Mary” embroidered on his robe in Latin.) In November 1987, in an unprecedented act, Reagan flew to Miami just to meet the Pope when he landed on American soil. The President was kept waiting for three hours for an opportunity to have a private audience with the “pontiff.” He said to John Paul II, “As you exhort us, we will listen” (USA Today, Sept. 11-12, 1987). 
 
Consider the religious faith of the prominent “conservative” leaders in America. Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Carson Daly, Stephen Colbert, Morton Downey Jr., Dennis Miller, and Tim Russert are Roman Catholics. John Ziegler is a “recovering Roman Catholic” who labels himself an agnostic. Ann Coulter speaks at homosexual-rights conferences and lashes out angrily at those who have the audacity to reprove her for this. Michael Medved, Mark Levin, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, and Laura Schlesinger are Jews who have rejected Jesus as the Christ. Glenn Beck is a New Age Mormon who believes man can be the divine “I Am” and says homosexual marriage is not a problem for America. (When asked by Bill O’Reilly whether “gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?” Beck replied, “No, I don’t” (The O’Reilly Factor, Aug. 11, 2010).
 
It is obvious that “conservative” politics and “conservative” political values do not equate spiritual wisdom and do not address the root problems of the nation. 
 
BECK’S RESTORING LOVE IS FOUNDED ON A FALSE GOD AND A FALSE CHRIST
 
As we have seen, Beck’s Restoring Love campaign is not merely political; it is spiritual. Beck talks much about God and Jesus. He told the crowd at High Point Church in Arlington, Texas, “... because of the saving power of Jesus Christ anything can be done,” and,” The Lord is coming and he is our father in Heaven” (“Any Population That Follows God Wins,” TheBlaze, July 27, 2012). 
 
But Beck’s “Jesus” is the spirit brother of Lucifer. Beck’s “father in Heaven” is an exalted man. He uses biblical terms, but he defines these with a Mormon dictionary.
 
Raised Roman Catholic, Beck converted to Mormonism in 1999 after “church shopping” with his second wife. 
 
Jim Garlow, pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in La Mesa, California, says that he has interviewed persons who have talked with Beck about his salvation and they have affirmed that “Glenn is saved; he understands receiving Christ as Savior.” But the question is not whether Beck believes in “Jesus” or the “gospel” or the “atonement”; the question is whether he believes in these things biblically as opposed to what Mormonism teaches. And if Beck does believe in the biblical gospel--that Jesus is the eternal Son of God and that salvation is solely by grace without works through faith in Christ’s blood--why does Beck identify himself as a Mormon? Why does he not rather warn of Mormonism’s false gospel of works and its false christ and its false god? We are not talking about minor theological issues here. If you get the gospel and Christ and God wrong, you will spend eternity in hell. Heresies pertaining to these matters are “damnable heresies” (2 Peter 2:1-2), meaning that if you hold such heresies you are condemned to eternal hell. 
 
Former Mormon Ed Decker describes the god that Beck worships:
 
“Glenn Beck is a dedicated Temple Mormon. According to LDS scripture and sacred instructions worthy Mormons receive in the temple, the god Beck serves is a physical, exalted man who lives with a harem of goddess wives on a planet near the great star Kolob. This god, Elohim, is the god of this one planet earth only. He is a man/god raised up from within this universe. The God of the Bible is the One who created the universes. The Bible says that he is not a man, there were no gods before Him, none beside Him or after Him, and He knows not any. This True God created all the heavens and was before all creation. He did not have to earn his godhood being obedient to some other god up the chain of command.
 
Beyond that, as crazy as this may sound, understand that Glenn Beck learned all the secret/sacred signs, tokens and special handshakes he will need as he, hopefully, enters his own godhood, receives his own planet and goddess wives to help him populate it. Yes, Glenn Beck strives to become a god, himself. The Jesus Beck serves, is not God come in the flesh. He is a separate 'god' who was elected to be our savior by a council of other gods. The Jesus of Mormonism is the spirit brother and equal of Lucifer until the council voted in Jesus. This Jesus died on the cross so all mankind would be resurrected to be judged for their works, their obedience to the laws and ordinances of the [LDS] Gospel” (“Ed Decker Responds,” WorldviewWeekend.com, August 21, 2010; Decker, founder of Saints Alive, was a Mormon for 20 years of his adult life; he was a member of the Melchizedek priesthood, a Temple Mormon and active in many church positions, until he met the real Jesus and was saved biblically).
 
Beck is not only a Mormon, he also holds New Age beliefs. The following is excerpted from Brannon Howse, “Glenn Beck: Another View of His Crusade,” Resistnet(dot)com (site no longer exists), August 31, 2010: 
 
“I believe that Beck does not only embrace the pagan spirituality of Mormonism but also Cosmic Humanism. Cosmic Humanism is known by most as the New Age Movement. Cosmic Humanism says that man is god. Mormonism says that man can become god. See the similarities? Before you react, listen to what Glenn Beck said on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace on the Fox News Channel. Glenn Beck said that his [Divine Destiny] rally was not political and the reason for his rally was because ‘there's nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace unless we solve it through God, unless we solve it in being our highest self. Be your higher-self.’
 
Beck used the phrase ‘higher self’ three times in the interview with Chris Wallace. No one talks that way unless they know exactly what they are saying. One New Age website says: ‘There are many great words to describe Who or What your highest identity or Self truly is. Below are just a few: Higher Self, I am Presence, I Am That I Am…Cosmic Consciousness, God, Christ, Holy Spirit And the list goes on…’ Notice that ‘I AM that I AM’ is another word for ‘higher self.’ Last week on his radio program Beck said, ‘I Am That I Am is the most powerful phrase in any language as it is the name of god, never use it in vain; use it to create who you want to be. I AM _____________ (you fill in the blank).’ 
 
“But I AM is a title that is to be reserved for God Himself. In Exodus 3:13 God told Moses that when the people of Israel ask for My name tell them, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ ... ‘I AM’ is to be reserved as a title for God yet it is being blasphemed in the pagan practice of what is called ‘the law of attraction.’ In the book The Secret, that was promoted by none other than Oprah Winfrey, Rhonda Byrne wrote: ‘The law of attraction is the law of creation. ... You create your life through your thoughts’ (p. 15). ... The fact that people like Beck on the right and Oprah on the left are proclaiming the ‘I AM’ message is a sign that we are living in the last days according to Jesus Himself in Luke 21:7-8” (Brannon Howse, “Glenn Beck: Another View of His Crusade,” Resistnet(dot)com (site no longer exists), August 31, 2010).
 
That “evangelicals” are jumping on Beck’s bandwagon is not surprising, since evangelicalism today is filled with false gods and false christs and foreign spirits. We have documented this extensively in The Treacherous Waters of the Southern Baptist Convention and Evangelicalism, which is available as a free eBook at the Way of Life web site -- www.wayoflife.org.
 
Consider just one frightful fact from this book. The false god/goddess presented in The Shack has resonated far and wide within evangelicalism. 
 
Though fictional, the book’s objective is the redefinition of God. It is about a man who becomes bitter at God after his daughter is murdered and has a life-changing experience in the very shack where the murder occurred; but the God he encounters is most definitely not the God of the Bible. Young depicts God the Father as a woman who loves rock & roll, as well as a man with gray hair and a pony tail. Young’s male/female god/goddess is cool, loves rock & roll, is non-judgmental, does not exercise wrath toward sin, does not send unbelievers to an eternal fiery hell, does not require repentance and the new birth, and puts no obligations on people. 
 
Instead of rejecting The Shack and its false god, large numbers of “evangelicals” have embraced it. Its author, William Paul Young, was promoted at the National Pastors Conference in San Diego in 2009, which I attended with media credentials. It was sponsored by Zondervan and InterVarsity Fellowship, and Young was interviewed in a general session by Andy Crouch of Christianity Today. There was not a hint of concern about his unscriptural theology or goddess worship.
 
Many Southern Baptists love The Shack. I received the following frightful testimony from a pastor who came out of the Convention in 1996:
“Concerning the question about ‘The Shack,’ I have been shocked at the willingness of many of my former SBC friends and acquaintances to receive it as a ‘great’ book. As you know, and have taught, the book presents a picture of ‘God’ that is not biblical. The ready acceptance of this book by the vast majority of those I know, is indicative of a serious lack of discernment. It seems that spiritual discernment is a rapidly dissipating quality today. I have questioned several folk on their acceptance of ‘The Shack’ and its false teaching. Their response has been, ‘But it teaches a good truth about how God loves us.’ This is characteristic of the modern church-growth movement that focuses solely on the ‘love of God,’ and relegates His holiness, righteousness and judgments to the ‘unimportant’” (Marty Wynn, Lighthouse Baptist Church, Columbus, Georgia, e-mail to D. Cloud, May 21, 2011).
 
That The Shack is very popular in Southern Baptist churches in particular and in evangelical churches in general is clear evidence that the worship of false gods and false christs is rampant. And it is not surprising that those who worship The Shack god/goddess are accepting Beck’s Mormon/New Age god. 
 
BECK’S RESTORING LOVE PROMOTES AN ILLEGITIMATE UNITY
 
Beck has been calling for an ecumenical social-political unity ever since his Divine Destiny event in August 2010 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. 
 
Beck has said that he is on a spiritual rather than a political crusade. He calls it a Third Awakening, a “Divine” Destiny, a “God moment.” He is urging his listeners to go to “God’s boot camp.” 
 
The Divine Destiny event was aimed to help “heal the soul” of America by overlooking religious differences to achieve a unity of “shared values and principles.” The event intended to “unite” “pastors, ministers and clergy” of “all faiths.” Beck said he had reached out to “the biggest names in faith” to “ask them to help me put differences aside and to reach out to one another.” 
 
His August 2010 rally featured 240 religious leaders who united behind Beck’s vision. These included James Dobson, John Hagee, Jerry Falwell, Jr., Southern Baptist Richard Land, historian David Barton of Wallbuilders, Dave Roever, Miles McPherson of The Rock Church in San Diego, Jewish rabbi Daniel Lapin, Catholic priest Patrick Lee of Franciscan University, female Word-Faith preacher Gloria Copeland, Muslim imams, and others.
 
Since then the Beck-inspired ecumenical unity has broadened. In conjunction with his 2012 Restoring Love campaign, “evangelicals” held an ecumenical event of their own. Called “Under God: Indivisible,” this event was held at High Point Church in Arlington, Texas. The objective was to “find common ground for common concerns.” Beck spoke and was given a standing ovation by the 6,000 in attendance. He told them, “Any population that follows God wins!” (“Any Population That Follows God,” TheBlaze, July 27, 2012). But what God? 
 
Other speakers included Kenneth and Gloria Copeland (Word-Faith, prosperity gospel Pentecostals), Betty Robinson (wife of James Robinson), Richard Land (Southern Baptist), Ravi Zacharias, John Hagee, David Jeremiah, Tony Evans, Franklin Graham, David Barton, Ken Hutcherson, Jonathan Morris and Frank Pavone (Catholic priests), and Aryeh Spero (Jewish rabbi). 
 
Music was provided by contemporary Christian musicians Phillips, Craig and Dean. Roman Catholic CCM artist Matt Maher performed “Hold Us Together,” the ecumenical theme song of Beck’s event. 
 
The next day a women’s conference called “Open Your Heart: Faith, Character, Purpose” was held at High Point in conjunction with Restoring Love. Beck’s wife, Tania, spoke, together with Diana Hagee, Michelle Bachmann, and Betsy Morgan (president of Beck’s web publication TheBlaze). 
 
Beck is urging professing Christians to unite with people “of faith” of any and all religious persuasions. This is a direct affront to God’s Word, which forbids true Christians to unite with unbelievers and heretics (e.g., Romans 16:17; 2 Corinthians 6:14-15; 2 Timothy 3:5; 2 John 9-10). These Scriptures could not be plainer. Born again Christians are to separate from apostates and heretics, and Glenn Beck is definitely a theological heretic. God’s people are forbidden to join hands with unbelievers for spiritual activities, and Beck’s Restoring Love campaign is definitely billed as a spiritual activity. How can we possibly “heal our souls” by disobeying God’s Word? 
 
Pastor Ralph Ovadal of Pilgrim’s Covenant Church in Monroe, Wisconsin, rightly observed:
 
“[M]any evangelical leaders, even pastors, remain stubbornly intent on yoking with the death, darkness, and satanic bondage of Rome in the vain hope of bringing life, light, and liberty to America. There is no doubt that America as a nation is sliding ever deeper into the murky, dangerous depths of immorality and godlessness. But it is just as obvious and more dangerous that much of the conservative, ‘evangelical’ church in this nation is plunging ever deeper into the depths of idolatry, spiritual corruption and utter lawlessness. [M]ost evangelicals ‘will not endure sound doctrine’ and refuse to return to ‘the old paths, where is the good way.’ They continue to follow celebrity personalities who refuse to see the handwriting on the wall and instead plunge drunkenly ahead on their mad course, leading millions along with them. Frankly, as I see it, men like Ravi Zacharias, Tony Evans, and David Jeremiah should be ashamed of themselves” (“Evangelicals Hosting Ecumenical Conference in Conjunction with Glenn Beck Event,” Christian News, July 27, 2012).
 
This does not add up to a godly, biblical unity. 
 
Even supposed “conservative” Baptists are jumping on Beck’s bandwagon. In April 2010, Beck was one of the commencement speakers at Liberty University, founded by the late Jerry Falwell, who was affiliated with the “fundamentalist” Baptist Bible Fellowship International. Jerry Falwell, Jr., praised Beck as “one of the few courageous voices in the national media standing up for the principles upon which this nation was founded.” The other speaker was Paige Patterson, “conservative” president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Southwestern Baptist Seminary. 
 
Illicit associations is one of the major ways that Bible-believing churches are being weakened and corrupted. “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (1 Cor. 15:33). 
 
BECK’S RESTORING LOVE IS FOUNDED ON A FALSE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES
 
Beck is big on conspiracies, and while there are doubtless many human conspiracies at work in the world today, the conspiracies that ultimately matter are supernatural and operate beyond the realm of human discovery and can only be known through the Biblical revelation. 
 
There is a divine “conspiracy” whereby God is working out His sovereign plan to put His eternal Son, Jesus Christ, on the throne of this world. This plan cannot be thwarted and it will culminate in the return of Christ to establish His kingdom.
 
There is also a satanic conspiracy, which is the devil’s plan to put the antichrist on the throne of the world. This will be accomplished when God allows it, but it will only last for a few years and will be crushed at Christ’s Second Coming. The satanic conspiracy is called the “mystery of iniquity” in 2 Thessalonians 2. 
 
These are the conspiracies that one must understand if he is to comprehend current events in the right light, but, sadly, Glenn Beck doesn’t have a clue on this count. 
 
CONCLUSION
 
I would conclude by challenging my fellow Bible-believing Christians as follows: 
 
First, what are the objectives of the Tea Party or of Beck’s Restoring Love, the latest incarnations of the “conservative” renaissance, and do these objectives address the nation’s root moral and spiritual problems? If every Tea Party candidate were elected, would it change the moral downslide of the nation? Would it result in taking America back to the 18th century by such things as the complete dismantling of the welfare state and the statist public school system and by dismantling every single government program that is not authorized by the U.S. Constitution and by re-criminalizing such things as abortion, homosexuality, pornography, and blasphemy and by making divorce difficult rather than “no fault”? Without major, ground-breaking changes such as these, there is no hope for changing America in a significant way, but I haven’t even heard such things proposed by most prominent conservative leaders, and even if they were proposed, there is no way to accomplish such things politically, seeing that a large majority of the people in the country are addicted to the very things that are causing the nation’s destruction.
 
Second, how many of the Tea Party leaders and the “conservative” talk show personalities represent true Biblical morality? Politics is dirty business, and effective politics is all about compromise. As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “I think it’s important to have a national party that can win in every part of America. And, if you do that, you’ll have a big group instead of a small group. If we had a group of 30 or so who all agree on everything, we’d be entirely cohesive and totally irrelevant” (“McConnell Embraces Big Tent GOP,” CQ Politics,  Sept. 17, 2010). McConnell is right about politics, but that thinking is not Biblical and a Bible-believing Christian is not allowed to disregard Scripture for the sake of a pragmatic political philosophy. 
 
Third, what are you doing in your personal and church life to demonstrate true repentance and godly obedience to God’s laws? This should be our focus, because this is the only hope for America or any other land. 
 
The best thing God’s people can do is to put Christ first (Matthew 6:33), live a pure, consecrated, separated life (Titus 2:11-14), seek God’s perfect will (Romans 12:1-2), be a faithful member of a sound Bible-believing church (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25), seek to further the Lord’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), pray fervently every day for the nation (1 Timothy 2:1-5), and be ready for Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10). 
 
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). 
 
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

What About The Jesus Fish? by Bryan Denlinger

.
 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, 
nor cause the people to return to Egypt, 
to the end that he should multiply horses: 
forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, 
Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Deuteronomy 17:16 (King James Bible)

God's word means what it says!  HE said the above! HE would not later have garbage brought from Egypt!  HE would never have preserved anything in Egypt, much less HIS word, which HE magnifies above HIS name!  Our God is not a God of confusion!   

Sadly, most "protestants" believe that it was due to the "reformation" that all the denominations came about, dependent on the Roman Catholic roots!

NO! The early church has always existed, APART, from the RCC!

A TRUE BIBLE BELIEVER IS NOT A PROTESTANT!
HE/SHE SUBSCRIBES TO NO DENOMINATION!


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, 
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 (King James Bible)

I simply love this preacher, who so very properly divides the word of God!
It is because so many fail to do this that there is so much misunderstanding!

rightly dividing the word of truth.

BEWARE OF DARK FANTASY; ISRAEL LEGISLATOR RIPS APART BIBLE, more- FRIDAY CHURCH NEWS NOTES by David Cloud

.
Friday Church News Notes

JULY 27, 2012, VOLUME 13 ISSUE 30
(David Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org)



BEWARE OF DARK FANTASY (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The heart is the source of one’s actions. God’s Word says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life,” and,” For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 4:23; 23:7). The corruption of the imagination was one of the first steps in the downward slide to idolatry and moral perversion in man’s early history as described in Romans 1. “... when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21).
   The same thing happens in the lives of individuals. What the mind dwells on is what will eventually control the life. If the imagination becomes perverted, the life will reflect this. This is a loud warning in an age when individuals can connect 24/7 in the most private manner with any aspect of the pop culture, and there are a great many dark and perverted things with which one can fill the imagination. In fact, dark and perverted is an apt description of much of today’s music, video games, novels, and movies. Science fiction and the superhero genre, for example, have grown ever darker, stranger, more sensual and godless, and many people are living a dark fantasy world.
   Consider James Holmes, who murdered a dozen people and wounded nearly 60 more last week in a movie theater where Batman: The Dark Knight Rises was premiering. Jesus taught us that murder is an acting out of the impulses of the sin nature (Mark 7:21-23), but the fallen nature can be inflamed. Homes had dyed his hair red and said he was The Joker, the clownish, ultra-violent enemy of the superhero Batman (“NYC Police Commissioner Said Alleged Shooter Calls Himself The Joker,” Fox News, July 20, 2012). These are vile movies. In the 2008 movie Batman: The Dark Night, a man’s face is filleted by a knife, another’s is burned half off, a man’s eye is slammed into a pencil, a bomb is stitched inside of a man and exploded, a man is bound to a chair and set afire, a child is threatened by a man with a melted face, and clowns are shot point-blank in the head.
   In the comic book “Batman: The Dark Night” The Joker murders an entire television audience. Thirteen years earlier, not far from where Holmes acted out his perverted fantasies, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 13 and wounded 21. They, too, were acting out demonic fantasies that had been enflamed through violent music, video games, and dark movies. 
FILM CRITIC WARNS ABOUT THE DARK VIOLENCE OF TODAY’S MOVIES (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - In 2008, film critic Jenny McCartney warned about the growing darkness and violence of the movie industry and the fact that children are watching this soul-corrupting trash. The following is excerpted from “Our Attitude to Violence Is Beyond a Joke,” The London Telegraph, July 26, 2008: “But the greatest surprise of all--even for me, after eight years spent working as a film critic--has been the sustained level of intensely sadistic brutality throughout the film [Batman: The Dark Knight]. ... The Dark Knight, however, has been rated 12A by the British Board of Film Classification, which means that although the BBFC believes it is best suited to children aged 12 and over, any under-12 can see it provided he or she is accompanied by an adult. Cinemas are even holding parent-and-baby screenings.
   The 12A certificate, a relatively recent innovation, is a piece of fudge designed to deflect responsibility from the BBFC on to British parents. ... In 2002, the BBFC took a stand on Spider-Man, a hugely hyped Hollywood release: it decided that it contained unsuitable levels of violence for under-12s, and therefore awarded it a ‘12’ certificate, meaning that under-12s should not be allowed into cinemas to see it. A public storm erupted; children and many parents were furious; and a number of councils announced their intention to defy the ban.
   At first the BBFC stoutly defended itself, saying that ‘Hollywood has carried out an aggressive worldwide marketing campaign aimed at young children when the film is not suitable for them.’ And then, fed up with being everyone’s most hated Aunt Sally, it invented the 12A certificate, which translates as a fed-up, institutional shrug of the shoulders. It’s been busy shrugging ever since. Spider-Man now looks like Bambi when set next to The Dark Knight. ... The intensity of violence in The Dark Knight is a grimly logical progression from the sort of distilled brutality that has rapidly become the norm in films rated 15 and 18: the only difference is that now small children are permitted to watch it, too. ... Increasingly, extreme screen violence is used not as a necessary adjunct to a greater point, but as the pleasurable point in itself.” 
CHRISTIAN ROCK CONTINUES TO BUILD ONE-WORLD CHURCH (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - Christian rock’s one-world church building enterprise was in full steam at the recently concluded 14th annual Lifest in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. On hand were popular CCM groups such as Switchfoot, Newsboys, Underoath, Building 429, Norma Jean, Steven Curtis Chapman, Tammy Borden, Love & Death, Casting Crowns, and Disciple. 15,000 enthusiastic fans gathered to celebrate ecumenical unity through the sensual power of rock & roll.
   Participants could choose from three worship services, including a Catholic Mass led by Bishop David Ricken, who officially approves of the “Marian Apparitions” at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in northern Wisconsin. The apparition appeared to Adele Brise in 1859 and said, “I am the Queen of Heaven, who prays for the conversion of sinners,” plainly identifying itself as a demon, since the only Queen of Heaven mentioned in Scripture is an idolatrous goddess that was condemned by the prophet Jeremiah (Jer. 7:18).
   That Christian rock is intimately associated with such things is clear evidence of its apostasy. None of the aforementioned popular CCM groups and “artists” condemned Roman Catholic participation in the festival. (See The Directory of Contemporary Worship Musicians for extensive documentation of CCM’s one-world church building efforts. It is available as as a free eBook from the Way of Life web site -- www.wayoflife.org ) 
TISHA B’AV (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - Since the destruction of the Second Temple, Jews have observed Tisha B’Av (meaning ninth of Av) as the day of mourning over their loss. The practice began after the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians and was reestablished in 71 A.D, for the first and second temples were destroyed on the same day, 655 years apart. The observance falls in July or August of the Gregorian calendar.
   This year it is on July 28, so the observance is deferred until Sunday July 29. On Tisha B’Av, the Torah is draped in black. There is fasting and mourning  with various rituals and the reading of the book of Lamentations and Jewish poetry called kinnot. In some Jewish communities the book of Job is read. Orthodox Jews believe that Tisha B’Av will be kept until the Messiah comes, at which time it will become a celebration. 
ISRAEL LEGISLATOR RIPS APART BIBLE (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - A member of Israel’s Knesset ripped the New Testament out of a Bible in a public demonstration recently. Michael Ben-Ari said he stands by his action, claiming that the “Christian Bible led to the murder of millions of Jews in the Inquisition and throughout history” (“Ben-Ari Unapologetic,” Arutz Sheva, July 18, 2012). The Bible desecrated by Ben-Ari was one of the copies that were sent to each of the Knesset members by a publisher. Here we are reminded of the reproach that has been brought upon the New Testament faith by the harlot church in Rome and its vicious, unscriptural actions.
   The New Testament does not authorize the persecution of the Jews or of anyone else. Roman Catholicism is a terrible corruption of true New Testament Christianity. If Ben-Ari would do more careful historical research, he would learn that Rome hated Bible-believing Christians as much as she hated Jews. It is true that the New Testament puts the blame for the crucifixion of Jesus at the feet of the Jewish leaders of that day. They rejected Him as their Messiah in spite of the fact that He fulfilled the Messianic prophecies, and they even rejected Pilate’s efforts to release Jesus, crying out, “Crucify him, crucify him,” and, “We have no king but Caesar” (John 19:15-16).
   But Bible-believing Christians do not hate the Jews and never have. We know that we are not better than any other men and that only by God’s grace are we saved. The nation Israel is in God’s hands, and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem because that is the glorious day that Christ will reign over the whole earth. The story of the crucifixion doesn’t stop with the part played by the Jews. The New Testament also puts the blame on the Roman government. In fact, it puts the blame upon the head of every sinner, because the Son of God would not have died had it not been for His love for sinners and His desire to redeem them.
   As Jesus said to Pilate, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above” (John 19:11). The Messianic prophecies explain exactly why Jesus died: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). 
THOUSANDS OF ROMAN CATHOLICS JOIN MARCH FOR JESUS (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - Roman Catholics in various parts of the world joined the annual March for Jesus. In Trinidad and Tobago, for example, thousands of Roman Catholics joined Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, and the Salvation Army for this year’s March (“Marchers by the Thousands,” Archdiocese of Port of Spain, July 15, 2012). Catholic Archbishop Joseph Harris said the event has his full support as “ecumenical and multi-religious” (“Christians March for Jesus,” Catholicnews-tt.net, June 24, 2012). In New Zealand, the Roman Catholic Church began official participation in March for Jesus in 1995.
   It was called “an unprecedented expression of Christian unity” (The Challenge Weekly, June 5, 1996). This March of the Mixed Multitude is even considered to be a form of evangelism. John Fulford of the Evangelical Fellowship of New Zealand called the declaration of unity an opportunity for evangelism (Ibid.), but he didn’t explain how unity between those who preach different gospels can be anything other than apostasy, confusion, and spiritual death. Those who preach a false gospel are under God’s curse (Galatians 1:8-9). How can blessing come by yoking together with that which is cursed?
   March for Jesus does not represent the true church of Jesus Christ; it represents the building of the one-world harlot church, and two of the most effective instruments in the building of this “church” are the charismatic movement and contemporary Christian music. Graham Kendrick, one of the most influential names in contemporary praise music, was a co-founder of March for Jesus. A March for Jesus coordinator said: “Through praise and worship, we’re seeing all denominations—Methodists, Baptists, Catholics, Charismatics come together to proclaim the most important points of the gospel” (Calvary Contender, Feb. 15, 1994).
   It it is no surprise that Kendrick is also a radical charismatic who promotes heretical “kingdom now” theology. He is a member of the Ichthus Christian Fellowship which welcomed the so-called Toronto Blessing with its meaningless gibberish, spirit slaying, hysterical laughing, barking, braying, rolling. Kendrick claims that he received the gift of “tongues” while brushing his teeth after attending a charismatic meeting in 1971. 
BOY SCOUTS AFFIRM BAN ON HOMOSEXUALS IN FACE OF PROTESTS (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from the Associated Press, July 17, 2012: “After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday emphatically reaffirmed its policy of excluding ‘gays,’ ruling out any changes despite relentless protest campaigns by some critics. An 11-member special committee, formed discreetly by top Scout leaders in 2010, ‘came to the conclusion that this policy is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts,’ the organization’ national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The Associated Press.
   Smith said the committee, comprised of professional scout executives and adult volunteers, was unanimous in its conclusion--preserving a long-standing policy that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and has remained controversial ever since. As a result of the committee’s decision, the Scouts’ national executive board will take no further action on a recently submitted resolution asking for reconsideration of the membership policy. The Scouts' chief executive, Bob Mazzuca, contended that most Scout families support the policy, which applies to both adult leaders and Scouts.”
CHICK-FIL-A DUBBED HATE-MONGER FOR STANDING FOR BIBLICAL FAMILY VALUES (Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from “Chick-Fil-A Interview Triggers Media Storm,” Biblical Recorder, July 19, 2012: “In a day when companies such as General Mills, Nabisco, JC Penney and Target seemingly compete to appear the most supportive of gay marriage, Chick-fil-A and its biblically-based values stand out--and the nation and media are noticing. 
   As a company, Chick-fil-A takes no position on gay marriage, but comments Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy made to the Biblical Recorder newspaper--in a story re-posted by Baptist Press--have launched a media storm. ... Asked about the company’s support of the traditional family, Cathy said in the Biblical Recorder story, ‘Well, guilty as charged.’ ‘We are very much supportive of the family--the biblical definition of the family unit,’ Cathy said. ‘We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives.
   We give God thanks for that.’ Chick-fil-A's stores are closed on Sundays and the company, he said, ‘operate on biblical principles.’ The media storm grew larger when a June 16 radio program was spotlighted in which Cathy underscored the need for children to have a mom and a dad. ‘As it relates to society in general, I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, We know better than You as to what constitutes a marriage,’ Cathy said on The Ken Coleman Show.
   ‘I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about.’ ... The Human Rights Campaign--the nation’s largest gay activist group--posted a Chick-fil-A logo on its website with a fake tagline, ‘We Didn't Invent Discrimination. We Just Support It.’’” [Not fake concerning my person! I fully support it! I do discriminate, and plenty! Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 1 Corinthians 15:33 (King James Bible)]
