And now, sit back, and enjoy a Dostoevsky novel...

I'm taking a break from watching and exposing the Beast and the system of the Beast to read Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Another novel I didn't want to read when I was in my novel-reading stage sometime back there in time...

Started Aug/7/08. Finished Sept/10/08.

What this Christian is, what this Christian does

I'm a broken, born again follower of Jesus Christ.

I take in the pure and whole Word of God (AV1611) as if it is something that is above me. I strive to get parts in relation to the whole understanding of it, but by faith I know that the higher language of the Word of God has its effect in me beyond what I can know at the time I am making the effort to engage it. Much like the effort to plant a crop knowing that it will yield a harvest in God's time, by the grace of God.

My doctrine is the apostolic biblical doctrine of the reformers, minus the church and 'sacraments' non-biblical teachings that man exploits to bring the Beast system into Christian environments.

My practice of the faith comes down to spiritual warfare. The more embarrassed churchianity leaders get when they read that the better. Spiritual warfare. The three-front battle against the flesh, the world, and the devil. With the goal to assault heaven and glorify God.

Like listening to Al Franken discuss matters of war and peace

Read this post at the PuritanBoard.

Gail Riplinger wrote a couple or three books on the subject.

The Critical Text scholars are hamstrung by their shallowness regarding literature and their inane (juvenile) intellectual vanity (there is no human with less self-awareness and more inane intellectual vanity than a seminary graduate).

Their professors mock and giggle at a Riplinger, so the rest of them follow in suit. Focus on that name 'Riplinger' in that sentence. "Oh, you can't be serious! You are referencing a woman with no qualifications to teach on such a subject as the Word of God! Hilarious! Why don't you quote your grandmother? I'll bet she's got some opinions too! Ha, ha! Are you really that ignorant? Read Metzger or Carson or Griesbach [or who the **** ever, ed.]."

These scholars are dumber than left-wing comics.

The mis-named PuritanBoard in the midst of another purge

Ah, the Jesuit moderators are getting angry again over at the mis-named PuritanBoard. It seems they've been having to ban many members lately, and now they've discovered how to even ban people from posting in individual threads. And, yes, they aren't letting that software ability go to waste!

Why don't these Jesuits just figure out how to keep Bible-believing Christians from getting through their application process to begin with?

Notice also that when they ban a member it doesn't show next to that person's name that he/she has been banned like it use to. This is called consciousness of guilt on the part of the Jesuit administrators and moderators. They want to keep in the dark their actions. God has something to say about that subject.

Here's a good test the Jesuits at the mis-named PuritanBoard can use for vetting new members:

1. Do you fear man more than God? (Your answer must be yes.)

2. Is your authority in all matters of faith and practice scholars with degrees from accredited, or even non-accredited, seminaries and/or other institutions of higher learning? Or is your authority God? (Your answer must be the former.)

3. Do you seek to suppress the so-called preserved Word of God and the so-called work of the Holy Spirit so as to exalt most Holy and To-Be-Revered Man and Ritual? (Your answer must be yes.)

4. Are you prepared to put yourself under the care and authority of the men who are the God-appointed leaders of the PuritanBoard and follow these men in all matters of faith and practice? (Your answer must be yes.)

5. Do you affirm baptism is efficacious to salvation which is to say it is one's entrance into a visible church? (Your answer must be yes.)

6. Do you assent to the truth that those who bowed their knee to Baal were in fact showing proper obedience and in that were being godly? (Your answer must be yes.)

Now, the good Jesuits at the mis-named PuritanBoard really only need six questions...for obvious reasons...(it being the number of man)...

See the unconscious Romanism of Protestant 'Churchianity'

Dr. Professor the most high Reverend Pastor Minister R. Scott Clark of Most Revered Seminary Westminster California has coined two phrases and in the process lucidly revealed the latent Romanism in Protestant 'churchianity.'

The first one he calls QIRC. The Quest for Illegitimate Religious Certainty. A wonderful Jesuitical coinage it is. One of the foundational needs of the Beast system is to keep its prisoners in a continual state of uncertainty. Now, keep in mind, the Churchianity Protestant is as unregenerate as any Roman Beast cleric, so part of Dr. Clark's need to coin his phrase is to justify his own state (try engaging the Word of God as if it is something that is above you, Mr. Clark, for once in your life; and maybe try making it the pure and whole Word of God, you know, the one those reformers used back in the day that produced actual fruit; or just do this: engage the Bible that your Old Man within you most doesn't want to engage...yes, you know which one that is). Clark calls 'illegitimate' what is simply known by Christians as the fact of being born again by the Word and the Spirit. When a cleric mocks your certainty in your faith in God's Word or in anything else to do with the Faith take out your Sword and send him running back to his father the devil.

The second one he calls QIRE. The Quest for Illegitimate Religious Experience. This one is designed to mock a believer's experience with the Word and the Spirit in regeneration and sanctification (Clark, as most unregenerate self-identified Reformed churchians knows he can't attack justification, at least not now). Again, the latent Romanism is showing in that it is foundational for the Beast system to suppress at all cost the Word and the Spirit so as to exalt man and ritual.

Protestant churchians and their churchianity is as much the system of the Beast as Roman Catholicism.

What do the iMonk and James White have in common?

Question: what do the iMonk and James White have in common?

They both inspire the women in their lives to run into the sheltering arms of the Beast. Yes, White's sister apparently after an anonymous internet exchange with her brother decided the Roman Beast Church was for her; and the iMonk's wife, presumably after years of hearing the iMonk's fine preaching and teaching, decided to join the Beast Church as well.

What else do the iMonk and James White have in common?

They both preach and teach from Roman Catholic bibles.

Possibly a connection here, pilgrims?

"Well, uh, this is a weak reading, Denise, uh, according to better manuscripts, such as that found in the Vatican, this should read..."

"Well Patty, my dear sister, logically we must ask if that is based on the best older manuscripts, such as that found in a certain monastery and in the gloriously hallowed bowels of the Vatican..."

So Patty and Denise go running off to the nearest Roman Catholic Beast church. That's good shepherding of weak-minded and vulnerable women.

"Novum, vobiscum, centarum, dui, ebbe, dominus vomitus nobarus-" oh, some girls just fainted! It's the new James Dean priest we got in. He likes the guys, but the women just kind of blank that out.

And look at Father Phleger! He's winding up... "Ob-ahhhhhhh-ma don't look like my daddy! (no, no, he don't amen!) He donna-look-a like George Washington, do he?!? (amen, no he don't!) I say Massa? (yes?) I say he-uh, MASSA? (yes! don't the Massa goina answer you! amen!) And I say: MASSA, MASSA, MASSA???!!!??? (oh, where he go? amen!) I say, Massa, we all crazy!!! (BROTHA, BROTHA, AHHHH, AH-MENNNNNN!!!)..."

Yes, that made sense.

What else do the iMonk and James White have in common?

1. They both buy things from stripmalls.
2. They both have mysterious incomes. (Is White's wife an RN too?)

I can't think of anything else. Roman Catholic bibles, buy things from stripmalls, and mysterious incomes most likely derived from their wives.

And the women in their lives run into the arms of the Beast.

God's elect know the stench of the devil's domain

A pastor at the PuritanBoard says Muslim culture not any better or any worse than American culture.

At the age of 5 Najaf was burnt by her father while she was sleeping, apparently because he didn't want to have another girl in the family.

Thanks for the wisdom, Pastor!

Pastor to Satan: "Am I doing good? Are you pleased? Yes?"

A quote from the PuritanBoard from a pastor:

The American culture is not good. Only God is good. What we enjoy in our day and in this land will one day be dust. The Chinese culture is different from our culture. In and of itself it is not any better nor any worse than the American culture.

This is so typical of what one finds in these Reformed environments (liberal or conservative doctrinally, they actually all default to liberal - and Beast system - in the end). Such shallowness and such ignorance and such weakness in the face of what the world demands in political-correctness.

More than that such ingratitude to God in not recognizing the difference between a culture and nation founded on Biblical values of life, light, and liberty vs. cultures and nations founded upon the devil's preferred death, darkness, and tyranny.

Satan is in the 'visible churches' and the leaders of those 'churches' are ministers of Satan.

This pastor is as dumb as the NBC announcer who casually mentions Chairman Mao in positive tones, a piece of crud more historically evil than Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin or Pol Pot, individuals the announcer would never think of even mentioning in a broadcast other than in tones of extreme condemnation (OK, maybe not Stalin). Such ignorance. Such stupidity. And, again, such ingratitude to what is true and good and sane.

Steve Rafalsky quietly schools another Critical Text dupe

This can't be denied other than by the spirit of disobedience. It's a response to the desperate claims that Westcott and Hort, who mutilated God's Word and gave inane 'Christian scholars' a platform to perform their vain and inane deeds, weren't really heterodox or knowingly - i.e. showing consciousness of guilt - involved in championing liberal heterodox doctrinal false teaching and involved in common occult activity. May all these Critical Text 'scholars' and their followers who have already been disabused of their false notions over and over find their richly deserved reward upon the return of the King. Anti-Christ and his legions are operating in almost full measure today. So be it. May God's elect soon see the return of our King.

This is harsh, but it is simply and powerfully true

This book is unusual among books that lay out the truth that Critical Text scholars so desperately and diligently try to keep hidden in that it references sources and comes at the subject matter from a Reformed, Calvinist understanding. The fact is: any seminary professor or any other kind of teacher of Christians - self-appointed or not - calling himself Calvinist/Reformed who is too dumb or simply too duped by the devil to not see the Alexandrian filth perversions (ESV, NASB, NIV, NKJV, NLT, TNIV, HCSB...) of God's precious word as being what they are will simply burn in hell, and this Christian says amen. God's elect have no patience for teachers of Christians who can't discern the devil's and the Pope's shit when it's on their very tongue.

Hell exists for a reason.

Update: This book is very good at elucidating how the system of the Beast works within seminaries. All around it's an exceptional book.

Beersheba instead of Be'er-she'-ba

In case anyone is interested I came across an edition of the KJV, just a basic 'pew Bible' as they call them, not expensive, black hardback, plain. Published in Sept. '08, but in the stores now.

What makes it unique is it doesn't sound out the proper names in the text. If you know what I mean (just Elijah instead of E-li'jah), that can be annoying, and ALL editions seemingly have that. So this one doesn't. Also, there is no red letter in the New Testament (some people don't like the red letter). Also, the print is somewhat unusual in that it is readable and largish, but the font is unusual I think. Kind of more readable. Also it is in paragraphs, which is unusual for a King James. The verses are still numbered, just within paragraphs. This is not that new paragraph Bible that Penguin put out by the way. Just a regular old plain KJV hardback.

This will astonish you

You are astonished.

Three things

Three things:

1. When you see me writing in a vicious mode (like always viciously going after Roman Catholics or Village of Morality Protestants) and it may seem like I am being beneath myself - I admit it is beneath me - it's usually always because I'm just coming off one of their sites and I have allowed them to goad me like a hapless bull in a bullring. Yet, still I also don't want to be lukewarm or afraid to say something is what it is.

2. On the Roman Catholic thing I also should point out that it is always a quandary for even the most on-the-mark, doctrinally hardcore Christians regarding how to consider Roman Catholics. I tend to see it the way the Reformers saw it: I discern that some, maybe many, everyday Roman Catholics are true believers. It's not my place to judge that, but I just say that. The position of a Calvin was that there are many Christians within the Roman Catholic Church, but it is despite the teachings of the RCC not because of it. If a person within the RCC engages the quickening Word of God then that is what regenerates. They may stay in the RCC due to doctrinal indifference, but Protestants have to admit that there are Protestants we would consider to be true Christians who are also equally doctrinally indifferent or doctrinally off-the-mark. Yet the 'teaching church' of the RCC (the clerical hierarchy) and groups within such as the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), the Magisterium, with the history of crime typical of anti-Christ and the Kingdom of Satan, that is what needs to be confronted in a non-lukewarm way.

3. Something that goes against the current of the necessity to not be lukewarm is the very real fact that not everybody is at the same stage of learning about the faith or at the same level of understanding, and this is a reality that needs to be remembered and taken into consideration - but - not used to justify being lukewarm regarding the truth or used to justify not confronting what needs to be confronted, or used to justify policing those who are not lukewarm.

Another Critical Text [edited, see below] makes an appearance on the PuritanBoard

It's one of those threads that appear every now and then on the PuritanBoard (JesuitBoard, whatever) where the defenders of the Word of God are actually being allowed by the Beast moderators to, um, defend the Word of God. They'll lock it down soon (and probably delete it quietly, which is what they did with every thread I was involved in where I was defending the Word of God), but until then here it is.

What's interesting is as the Critical Text morons get their ass handed to them once again a long time lurker (member since '04, only five posts) can't resist jumping in to the discussion, but look how he does it:

One of the defenders of the traditional text is a woman named Margaret. She is writing nothing different than about six or seven of the men in the thread. Here is the Critical Text pussy making his entrance:

Margaret,
I can't believe anyone actually takes you seriously.

Terry Morris
San Jose, Ca

Really. Now there's a man. Why not direct that to any number of men in the thread who are on the exact same page as Margaret? Because the Critical Text dupe a) can't make an argument in favor of his devil manuscripts, and b) he's a [edited by author because this post has been being used to discredit this fine blog. Thank you].

Let's see if any of the men on the board defend Margaret. Most likely the Beast moderators will use Terry Morris' comment as an excuse to shut the thread down. That is their main concern. The Beast loses when their Alexandrian 'bibles' are being exposed.

etexas, the Beast has spotted you

This appeared on the JesuitBoard (excuse me, PuritanBoard is what they are calling themselves) Aug. 4th:

A little announcement.
4 Aug 2008 by etexas

I am returning to the Anglican Church. NOBODY PANIC. I STILL remain convinced of Reformed Theology. I would call myself Anglican with strong Calvinist leanings. I hold to the 39 Articles.

And then down the memory hole he went...

What is funny and typical is immediately one of the Village of Morality moderators responded to him with: "etexas, you have been given a personal message" which is how they communicate when they don't want anybody to see them communicating. Notice they don't just 'talk'? Everything is about policing. It is the Kingdom of Satan, Romanism by any other name; the system of the Beast.

With etexas they were discerning a person who was giving impressions of being awake. Regenerated by the Word and the Spirit. This is discerned instinctively by the followers of the Beast. It doesn't have to be anything specific or explicit. Once they discern this they look for any reason to ban the person. A child of God in the environment of the Beast is deathly for the system of the Beast.

God's remnant (such as the Waldensians) always at the center of the history of redemption

“While writing the Seneca Commentary [Calvin's first book written prior to his conversion] Calvin lived in the house of a cloth merchant, Etienne de la Forge, a devout Waldensian from Piedmont. This man was an ardent reader of Luther and a fearless propagandist of Protestantism. He made a practice of distributing to the poor packages accompanied by tracts and passages of Scripture, and he kept open house for religious refugees from the Netherlands. Calvin must have observed these evidences of incautious zeal, for which de la Forge would later pay the penalty of death by fire. Who can say what influence Calvin’s host ultimately had upon his religious attitudes?”

From The History and Character of Calvinism by John T. McNeill

Where does the Received Text that underlies the Authorized King James Version come from? It comes from God's remnant who shepherded it and defended it through time and persecution and still today defend it. The Roman Beast Church lied about the Bible-believing Christians they massacred just as they lied about the Reformers. The Cathars, the Waldensians were all God's remnant. The Godly. Cathar and Puritan are synonyms. Calvin himself referred over and over to Protestants in his letters as 'the Godly'. This goes over the heads of the seminary boys who eat Jesuit influence without knowing what they're allowing to go down their gullet.

The trail of blood led to Geneva. Waldensians were both paedo and credo regarding the so-called sacrament of baptism because the Word of God is intentionally not dogmatic and clear on that subject other than to teach that regeneration is effected, when it is effected, by the Word and the Spirit, not man and ritual. Calvin held the exact same position as Zwingli on the subject of the sacraments (they are for the dumb and the weak who need a visual of what is effected by the Word and the Spirit). Both were fighting off Satan-influenced 'anabaptists' who had nothing to do with the historical trail of blood and who had nothing to do with fighting and defeating the Roman Beast tyranny; they were only annoying the men and women of God who were doing that hard work. Modern day self-identified Calvinists though now are default Romanists (they are more comfortable in the company of Romanists than in the company of born again Christians, you see this over and over with them); and they are certainly more comfortable in the presence of the Vatican's Alexandrian 'bibles' than the received Word of God God's remnant has handed down to Bible-believing born again Christians ('bibles' with man's authority in them are much more comfortable than the very Word of God with the very authority of God Himself within it). Their shallowness and man-fearing and ultimately their mocking and disdain for anything higher than their vanity, worldly pride, and rebellious self-will convict them and will garner them their well-earned reward.

When they serve Satan they always turn out to be gay as well, don't they?

Look at this comment from a colleague (or is it fellow pastor?) of R. Scott Clark on Clark's blog. The subject is those dumb Christians who question the scholars and their scholarly activity of determining what the Word of God is and the little fact that those scholars inevitably always come up with the answer that the Word of God is what the devil and the Pope and the Jesuits have always wanted the Word of God to be:

I’ve found these sorts of comments usually to come from people who a) don’t like seminary trained ministers who can engage in the work of textual criticism, b) who begrudge the fact that seminary trained ministers have an important contribution to the life of the Church in being able to teach and preach from an understanding based in the languages of Scripture, and c) who don’t like seminary trained ministers (okay, this last point is a little facetious, but I did have a few of these in my congregation last year - and they weren’t necessarily quiet about it).

I’ve never really had a problem with any of this, whether before or after seminary studies, and often wonder if questions such as given above are not merely the result of persons with too much time on their hands needlessly vexing themselves with angst-inducing questions based upon strained/false conceptions of a subject, for the benefit of the online community, and with the ultimate goal of contributing to their status as a scribe therein.

But sometimes I’m just mean like that. I think that it comes from being a parent who regularly has to police up children with too much time on their hands - it gets them into unnecessary trouble.

A more pointedly, deliciously, bitchy comment you won't find among any gathering of homosexuals on the internet. This 'minister' needs to come out of the closet.

A new book from the Village of Ritual and Morality

Seminary professor R. Scott Clark has coined phrases that justify sterile, ritualistic Village of Morality 'faith' and has now written a book about his coinages. Between himself quoting his own coinages on his blog and now his book about his coinages his coinages are destined to become part of all of our folk memory and tradition.

So the first coinage we have here is:

The Quest for Illegitimate Religious Certainty (or QIRC, for short, the way Clark prefers to write it, because, you know, it is such a part of the collective consciousness and language that we all know what the four letters stand for at this point). So this QIRC basically is a cry for help from a professor who has not the Spirit. Those of us who have the Spirit need no 'illegitimate' or legitimate 'quest' for certainty. We have certainty. We have the Holy Spirit inside us. We have God in us. It is what makes the world (Village of Morality, Clark's neighborhood), our Old Man, and the devil not real happy with us.

The second coinage we are given is:

The Quest for Illegitimate Religious Experience (or, QIRE for short). Another cry for help from Clark as he sees Christians all around him who seem to hear music he can't hear (and I would follow with the metaphor of dancing but that would scandalize Mr. Clark who I'm sure has a few really bad experiences from his past of attempting to dance at a bar or a wedding or something and knows that it is really embarrassing and not something that is legitimate and is something he will not have anything to do with. But there's always structured dances like the waltz! Still, though, there is always the ever present fear of getting 'excited'...so much to fear in this experience thing... For real Christians though the reality is experience means battle. Spiritual warfare. Once regenerated by the Word and the Spirit (not man and ritual) you find yourself in battle by default. The devil doesn't bother with his sleeping captives in his kingdom. He confronts God's own who are awakened by the Spirit and looking directly at ol' Little Horn himself. The devil doesn't like being 'seen' by God's own, but there's nothing he can do about it, really, as long as God's own have the armor of God and use it.

So much for QIRC and QIRE.

The charm of atheists

Video here.

What these two are really doing is they are tempting Christians to kill them so that their father the devil can get a short term win. But, really, look how malignantly dumb and creepy atheists/liberals are.
