Psalm 58: 10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Greetings brother,
We hope the Lord is blessing your efforts, and pray for your safety as you proclaim Gods truth to this nation at the funerals. We were able to watch the educational christmas video tonight at bible study, we were able to see it and were blessed. I wanted to touch base with you on a few things.
1. Is there a list of things that would be required of us if my family were to seek membership.
2. Is there a possibility of the fellowship in Atlanta becoming a sister church under the overseeing of WBC
3. When we go to the Madonna concerts, sporting games, and churches , at times it seems that handwritten signs aren’t as clear as professionally made signs, however we do not want to support many of these megastore chains with buying expensive signs, we would rather invest in WBC. So is there a way we could obtain/purchase some signs from you?
Thanks for your time and Shalom,
Chandler Bing
P.S. here is the info on the two of the most prolific pedophile/sodomite professing Christians in atlanta, I figured if you wanted to look them up and picket next time you’re near ATL
1. Bishop Eddie Long he may be innocent of pedophile but not of women leaders, and the money gospel http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20066740-504083.html
2. Pastor Paul Graetz http://www.facebook.com/pastorpaulg?fref=ts
Chandler Bing –
Your first two questions need to be considered with a clear understanding of what the New Testament Church is, and how it functions. Here are a few fundamentals:
- The Church is local
- The Church is visible, and identifiable
- The Church is independent, and answers only to the authority of Jesus Christ
- The Church appoints its own officers: Pastors / Elders / Deacons, as defined by the scriptures
- The Church observes the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, as defined by the scriptures
- The Church maintains and defends pure Gospel truth, beginning with the Doctrines of Grace
- The Church is a spiritual temple, made up of lively stones, which are fitly framed together – perfectly, supernaturally supporting one another
- The Church administers church discipline, as defined by the scriptures
- The members do not forsake the assembly
- The members walk orderly
For more good words on the nature and authority of the New Testament Church, “There is One Body” http://godhatesfags.com/sermons/19580101_there-is-one-body.pdf is a letter that our pastor wrote in 1958.These are rock solid fundamental concepts that are exactly the same today as they were 50 years ago, and 2000 years ago, when Christ established His Church in the earth. Hopefully this answers your first two questions.
Regarding question #3: Those picket signs (like all of the skills, resources, and energy that God has blessed us worms with) are for the ministry that God has mercifully given to this little church, in these last dark days. We zealously guard those resources, and we do not make merchandise of them. Also, remember this:
“And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.” Luke 16:9.
If we were worried about the money from our purchases being used to support unrighteous causes, then we would need to leave the world. We are IN the world, but not OF the world. We use our earthly resources (mammon) to minister to the saints, and to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ – by doing that, we are thereby using that mammon to make heavenly friends, that will receive us into everlasting habitations. Anything beyond that, including what Home Depot does with money from our purchases, is irrelevant to us.
Thank you for the information regarding Eddie Long, and Paul Graetz. We certainly are aware of Eddie Long, and have picketed that whore house multiple times. I’m not sure we have picketed Graetz, but we will keep it in mind for future trips to ATL. I think we may be down there for the Final Four.
One other point that I would make – your position that we were doing wrong to keep no company with those who have wickedly departed from the Faith. I submit to you that it is not optional, but rather, it is our affirmative duty to withdraw ourselves, and keep no company with such people. Please consider this document: “Withdraw Thyself:”
WithdrawThyself, Have No Company, Not Unequally Yoked Together, Come Out From Among Them, Be Ye Separate, Mark Them, Avoid Them, Purge Out, Put Away, Let Him Be as a Heathen man,
| 1. |
2nd Thes. 3:6 |
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. Strongs “withdraw” (avoid). |
| 2. |
Mat. 18:17 |
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Gill: Advice to the offended person, don’t have religious or civil conversations with them. |
| 3. |
2nd Thes. 3:14 |
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. |
| 4. |
2nd Cor. 6:14-17 |
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. |
| 5. |
1 Tim. 6:3-5 |
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. |
| 6. |
Rom. 16:17-19 |
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. |
| 7. |
1 Cor. 5:1-8 |
1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. |
| 8. |
1 Cor. 5:9-13 |
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Gill: with such an one no not to eat – Not eating with them at the Lord’s Supper but also not having civil conversation or familiarity with them including not eating common food with them at the same table. |
| 9. |
Gal. 1:8-9 |
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. |
| 10. |
Duet. 13:6-16 |
6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you,… 8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 9 But thou shalt surely kill him… 10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you. 12 ¶ If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, 13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known; 14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; 15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. 16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again. |
| 11. |
Duet. 21:18-21 |
8 ¶ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. |
| 12. |
Luke 14:26 |
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. |
| 13. |
Mat. 10:34-38 |
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. |
Thank you!
