Sister Klein's Newly Published Book!!!!!

The Doctrine of Original Sin is a cardinal doctrine in the Christian Church today. It is interesting to read about its origin and its comparison with what the Bible says. It is also very surprising to read the different views of theologians and apologists concerning this doctrine. It is my desire to give factual evidence. I have spent countless hours and many sleepless nights researching and comparing Biblical texts to be sure that what I have written is based on fact. This research is only a small portion of what is available to those who will search and is not meant to be conclusive or exhaustive on the subject. I want the reader to decide if it’s a valid truth. Hopefully, someone can read my work and glean valuable information and possibly another perspective.

Seven Things Jesus Christ Hates

“These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”      Proverbs 6:16-19 

“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”     Revelations 2:6 

“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”   Revelations 2:15

Jehovah's Witnesses vs. Joseph Thayer's Greek Lexicon, Etc. The following chart is written by trinitarians.

	How the quote appears in "Should you believe in the Trinity", Watchtower, JW's booklet. "In the same way, since John 1:1 shows that the Word was with God, he could not be God but was "a god," or "divine." Joseph Henry Thayer, a theologian and scholar who worked on the American Standard Version, stated simply: "The Logos was divine, not the divine Being himself." ("Joseph Henry Thayer's personal copy of Griesbach's Greek New Testament text, 1809, with Thayer's handwritten comments on John 1:1 interleaved." Watchtower organization's own words as to the source)
What they fail to tell you about the quote	After a long and tedious effort to make the Watchtower disclose the source of the quote, they replied: "Joseph Henry Thayer's personal copy of Griesbach's Greek New Testament text, 1809, with Thayer's handwritten comments on John 1:1 interleaved." (Watchtower organization's own words)
Here is a portion of Grimm's comments on THEOS in his Lexicon which Thayer translated.	"2. Whether Christ is called God must be determined from Jn. i. 1 ; xx. 28 ; I Jn. v. 20; Ro. ix. 5; Tit. ii. 13; Heb. i. 8 sq., etc.; the matter is still in dispute among theologians; cf. Grimm, Institutio theologiae dogmaticae, ed. 2, p. 228 sqq. [and the discussion (on Ro. ix. 5) by Professors Dwight and Abbot in Journ. Soc. Bib. Lit. etc. u. s., esp. pp. 42 sqq. 113 sqq.]. 3. spoken of the only and true GOD: with the article, Mt. iii. 9; Mk. xiii. 19; Lk. ii. 13; Acts ii. 11" (Joseph Henry Thayer: A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, THEOS) Actually Grimm should be spanked for making such irresponsible comments. No one disputes whether the Greek word "THEOS" (and the corresponding English translation: GOD) applies to Jesus. The question is the "theological meaning" of theos/god as it applies to Jesus. Even Jehovah's witnesses believe that THEOS/GOD is applied to Jesus because they openly call Jesus "A GOD" (Jn 1:1), "GOD" (Jn 20:28), "MIGHTY GOD". (Isa 9:6) If you don't believe us, this is exactly how the New World Translation renders the phrases, with various squabbles over whether it should be "A GOD" or "a god". (As if it makes any difference.) So both Trinitarians and Jehovah's Witnesses stand together in opposing Grimm's own comments, because even JW's agree that Jn 1:1 calls Jesus "a god". Thayer didn't offer his OWN opinion on the subject, and Grimm only said that there was a dispute. Yet even here no one disputes that "theos" is applied to Jesus in John 1:1. Did you hear that? NO ONE, not even Jehovah's Witnesses disputes the Jesus is called GOD or THEOS in John 1:1! Interesting that Thayer could have added a personal comment here, but did not! However, he did add a reference to another famous Unitarian's article by Abbot!
Proof Thayer was Unitarian	Some challenge whether Thayer was Unitarian, saying, he was instead Congregationalist. We simply quote the "Publishers Introduction" to Thayer's famous lexicon: "A word of caution is necessary. Thayer was a Unitarian, and the errors of this sect occasionally come through in the explanatory notes. The reader should be alert for both subtle and blatant denials of such doctrines as the Trinity (Thayer regarded Christ as a mere man and the Holy Spirit as an impersonal force emanating from God), the inherent and total depravity of fallen human nature, the eternal punishment of the wicked, and Biblical inerrancy." (Joseph Henry Thayer: A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, Publishers Introduction, page VII, Baker Book House) "The Greek word for equal is ison,’ which according to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon (p. 307), an acknowledged authority, means equal in quality as in quantity, to claim for oneself, the nature, rank, authority, which belong to God’ (John 5:18). Dr. Thayer, Jehovah’s Witnesses might take notice, was a Unitarian who denied Christ’s Deity even as they themselves do; yet, being honest, he gave the true meaning of the Biblical terms even they contradicted his views." (Kingdom of the Cults, Walter Martin. p 67) "The late Dr. Joseph F. Thayer, a Unitarian scholar, author of one of the best lexicons of the Greek New Testament (who, incidentally, denied the visible second coming of Christ), said on page 490 of that work, when speaking of parousia’: ... a return (Phillipians 1:26)... In the New Testament especially of the Advent, i.e., the future visible return from heaven of Jesus, the Messiah, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the Kingdom of God.’ (Kingdom of the Cults, Walter Martin. p 81) Dr. Thayer, it might be mentioned, was honest enough to say what the New Testament Greek taught, even though he didn’t believe it." (Kingdom of the Cults, Walter Martin. p 81)
Deception Exposed:	The Watchtower fails to tell you that Thayer is not a Trinitarian, but a Unitarian who believed Jesus was a creature. No wonder nobody could find where Thayer said the quote in the Watchtower booklet! Now stop and think about this for a moment. We will grant that the book was Thayer's and even that the comment was in his own handwriting! (How could anyone really confirm this for sure?) But a marginal note may or may not represent what he personally believed! He may have written it there to express another's view as a reminder. Thayer's most famous work, "A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament" is Thayer's translation of Grimm's work. Thayer often makes his own personal comments in addition to Grimm's words in this lexicon. Thayer's words are always denoted with square brackets [Thayer's comments] in Grimm's lexicon. (We flagged them in blue above.) We wonder what value there is in even quoting Thayer's handwritten note (if it is even his handwriting) since the official choice of translation used by Jehovah's Witnesses is different from what Thayer said. It was the Watchtower that chose not to translate Jn 1:1 "and the word was divine". But Jehovah's Witnesses will quote any translation of Jn 1:1 that might indicate Jesus was a creature, even it is a translation they disagree with. And one final note. Even though Thayer was theologically close to Jehovah's Witnesses in their view of Jesus, his footnote really doesn't help them. Thayer's comment: "The Logos was divine, not the divine Being himself." Is easily agreeable to any Trinitarian. Who is divine, but uncreated God? The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are all uncreated God and are all equally divine, yet they differ from one another, or as Thayer put it: "The Logos [Jesus] was divine, not the divine Being himself [the Father mentioned in Jn 1:1b].

The above chart is found at http://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-Thayer.htm     This website is promoting the trinity. Christians are against the 3 persons of the trinity. We are Oneness. One person, His name is Jesus Christ. He is God. He sits on the only divine throne in Heaven as your judge. Jesus is 100% man and 100% God.

Aaronic Blessing

Hello Students,

 The Aaronic  Blessing
 
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them." Numbers 6:22-27

The traditional hand position is hands held upright over the head, palms facing the congregation, thumbs touching, and the first two fingers held together; fingers from the other hand are not touching.

Our Talk with Denver L. Stanford

Hello Friends,

 Sister Klein and I spoke with Brother Denver L. Stanford who is presently a home missionary. Sister Klein remembers him teaching on soul winning at a church she was outreach director of in Pensacola, Florida. The church is Brentwood UPC, Brother Jimmy Mitchell is the pastor. Brother Stanford told us he traveled from church to church teaching on soul winning for eight and a half years.

 Brother Stanford's main point in his talk with us can be summarized in his statement. "If a Christian is not winning souls, there is something wrong!" 

 At the age of seventy-four, he is very much a soul winner.

 He told us stories about interviewing men who had graduated from UPC Bible colleges who had never won a soul. 

In Jesus,

Bruce

PS. Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College is very much into training soul winners.

Are Baptists Going to Hell? Part 3

Hello,

Jesus spoke:
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."          John 3:5-6 

Born of water
Born of Spirit
Born of flesh

Most church denominations consider "born of water" is water baptism.
Most church denominations consider "born of Spirit" is Holy Spirit baptism.
Most church denominations consider "born of flesh" is born of your Mom.

Jesus continued to speak:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."  John 3:16 
Does John 3:16 negate John 3:5-6? Should John 3:16 cause a person to ignore John 3:5-6.

In Baptist Bible colleges and seminaries, I was taught to read Scripture for what it says not to spiritualize or correct Scripture to agree with denominational theology. That in itself is correct. Was it followed in determining Baptist theological doctrines? No. Verses were ignored because they don't agree with Baptist doctrine. A person must combine all of the Scriptures to form theological doctrines. Systematic Theology vs. Biblical Theology. Systematic Theology is written to support the doctrines of a denomination. Biblical Theology is written based only on the written Word.

What do you believe? How did you arrive at your belief system?

The Holy Ghost, after the baptism of the Holy Ghost, had me spending quality time after Baptist seminary education to read the Holy Bible. Jesus was showing me what the Scriptures are saying. I was being retrained, based only on the Holy Bible, not man's training. What does the Holy Bible really say.

Are Baptists Going to Hell? Part 2

Hello,

Mark wrote:
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."     Mark 16:16

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; ... ."  is this truth or a lie? Does the second clause negate the first clause in this verse? Or is the problem the first clause doesn't fit your theology?

Peter wrote:
"Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:"                                      1 Peter 3:20-21   
 
"... baptism doth also now save us ... ."  is this truth or a lie?   Baptism does also now save us!

Paul spoke:
"And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord."                                        Acts 22:16

Are Baptists Going to Hell? Part 1

Hello,

"Now when they heard this , they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men  and brethren, what shall we do?"Acts 2:37

 A very clear question was asked. A very clear answer was given.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38

Very clear directions to salvation:
1. Repent
2. Be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins
3. Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

Not to obey these directions is grounds for the legal sentence of damnation in Hell!

In Jesus,
Bruce

PS. Just in case you are wondering are these verses for me, personally?

"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation." Acts 2:39-40

PSS. Those who heard Peter responded by:

"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." Acts 2:41
Because, they obeyed they were added to the church.

PSSS. Will you obey?

Roman Catholic Traditions

Hello Friends,

 The Roman Catholic Church has had much influence on Christianity, as we know it. Not all of those influences are bad. There have been very good examples of people leaving wealth to serve Jesus, and living a very good life. Not everyone in every form of religion is a bad apple or example. Religion in a sense does serve the world's population. We see many good religious groups feeding hungry children and helping pay for schools and shelter for the needy. We have to be very careful in attacking false teachings not to attack the sincerity of those caught up in them, but realize that regardless there are those who are sincerely wrong. We also need to keep in mind that the same principle we are applying in study needs to apply in all areas. If we are to take the stance that steeples are wrong then what of the pulpit? If we are to stand against the use of the word "Christian", then we are to also take into account that more than likely Jesus or the Apostles did not wear a "Cleric Collar". If we are to see clearly,  taking the beam out of our own eyes is a prerequisite before reaching out to helping others remove the "mote" that is interfering with their vision. Yet, we have to stand up for Biblical Truth regardless of associations or institutions. As Jesus does surgery with the Word in our own hearts let us share the truth in love remembering who it is that has called us out. It is not by any works that we have done but by the precious blood of Christ Jesus that we have the privilege of serving others. The old hymn,"To Be Like Jesus", should be our goal. Let us measure all things by the Cross and Sacrifice He made for the souls of men and women.

Examples:

Pulpit
Laity
Collar around the cleric's neck
Christian (God's people in Scripture didn't call themselves Christians they were called Christians by others.)


Apostolic Doctrine (God's Word uses the words "Apostle" and "Doctrine")
New Testament (New Covenant)
Old Testament (Old Covenant)
Church Steeples
Pews etc.


May we share the sincere truth of the Word
In Jesus,

Dr. Bruce & Dana Klein

How Is A Christian Identified?

Hello Everyone, 
I trust you are having a Jesus week! I have been thinking lately about how people identify themselves. People have always since Babylon grouped off with those who speak their language. Its been that way for Centuries. How about in Christianity in our world? Not True Biblical Christianity but the Religious view? I often ask people to come to Church Meetings. Sometimes I get the response,"Oh, I'm Catholic or I'm Baptist etc." It seems the mindset for some is that Jesus is Catholic or Baptist. He is not!!!
Jesus is God. He is not going to ask you when you arrive at Heaven's gate if you were Baptist or Catholic or Pentecostal and how closely you followed the religions rules. He is going to ask you if you kept His Holy Word and if your name is written in the Book of Life ?There are some who need to wake up and find Jesus before its too late. 
(Acts 17:31 [KJV])
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.      Jesus in Non-Denominational. He is God. He doesn't underwrite Religious groups. He underwrites His word. As long as someone is following Jesus and keeping His Word and allowing that Word to do the Work its supposed to then
that person is being led by Jesus. The minute they get off into all the mindsets and theologies that don't coincide with the Word then that person is (and sorry is no better term that I can think of right now to describe it) LOST! If you were on a path that led to Heaven and you are off that path then you are LOST and need to get back on track.
Have a great day and Let Jesus be the Lord of your life!

Will Preterism lead YOU to Hell?

Hello Friends,

  Preterism is a doctrine that may cause a Christian to end in Hell.

Why? You may ask. 


  The Holy Bible teaches a rapture. If one is not ready because of the disbelief in this rapture, then he/she will be left on earth to go through the seven years of the wrath of God towards the rebellious sinners.
  Sure some may be saved during these years, but will they endure the ... before the end of the seven years? 

Below is a website if you desire to know more about preterism.

Awesome Sunday Service

What a blessing to be in our Church Meeting today in Kaplan, La. We started out praying and thanking Jesus for all the blessings in our lives. Then we moved onto praise and worship. Our Pastor Brother Klein began to preach and teach the word or God with power and anointing. Jesus was so amazing in our midst. French Accordion music permeated the room and we danced and clapped and worshiped Jesus!  Brothers and Sisters testified in Cajun French and gave great reports of the wonderful works of God. The children went into the classroom to do art projects and I assisted them. We then came back to join the service. Brother Klein asked me to share what the Lord had given me earlier in the morning. I began to speak out of the book of Matthew
about the parable of the sower. I did not know that this was the subject Pastor Klein had just spoken on. Sister Hazel Henry told Brother Klein....hey she is preaching on the same subject. He said not to let on. I then began to elaborate on the text and Pastor Klein said I brought it out from an entirely different perspective than he had. This proved to me today of a certainty that we are so blessed to be a team for Jesus here in Kaplan teaching and preaching together. Right after service we baptized a young man named Kevin. Well Brother Kevin went down in the water in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. When he came up we laid hands on him to receive the Holy Ghost baptism. The Spirit of the Lord fell upon him in a great way and he began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit of God gave him utterance. He was so excited that not long after he began to preach to all of us standing there. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ for the increase and for our new Brother in Jesus Christ.

First Bread Ministry/Fellowship Meeting Huge Success!

Hey if you missed being a part of Bread Ministry this past Sunday you really missed being a blessing. We had an awesome time of fellowship and community outreach. What a terrific thing to get together with local businesses in our community and distribute bread to every one who desired some. We make no difference in economic status but whoever wants bread receives it. Jesus did this. He did not only feed the poor but also those who asked. That is a Bible principle. Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. That prayer that Jesus gave us is an example of how to ask. Everyone who asks receives. Jesus also always healed everyone who came to Him. One day He fed five thousand with two loaves and five fish. He is an awesome God. We also had dinners of catfish coubillion http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=564624 
donated by Brother John and Sister Donna Abshire along with Red Beans and Sausage cooked by Sis. Penny and numerous deserts donated by the ladies and gentleman of Acadian Lighthouse. Thank you all for the hard work and being such a blessing to others. Jesus will bless you for it.

July 31, 2011 Bread Ministry/Fellowship Meeting Everyone Invited to help/attend!

Working on Bread Ministry today. We are soliciting the local businesses in our area for a blessing in our community. The last day of the month we have a big fellowship meeting and fix a meal. My awesome church people are then going to fix plate lunches and distribute them to elderly in our community. We are also going to give out bread and snack cakes to who ever shows up that day. Its a way of giving back some of the blessings God has given us. Its no great thing but a nice thing. I love this church. Every Thursday we go into a local retirement community and have service and sing. I play the guitar. One of the men ministers in French and the other in English. We then drive to the home of a shut in and have service. The lady cannot get out but we who are able go. It is so amazing to be involved in the work of Jesus on planet earth! Anyone who would like to attend this Fellowship meeting may come. We will even feed you and give you bread to take home. Its Sunday coming the 31st at 10 am till noon and after noon until about three or four depending on how many singers/speakers we have. I am also interested in poetry if anyone writes it come and give us a reading. Inspiration is what Jesus gives. We want you to be able to share your gift. Our speakers, singers etc are volunteers. Come be with us. In Jesus Dana D.Klein,

An Incredible Day! An Incredible Life!

I am so excited as we got to go down to the area where I was raised as a child today. It seemed so serene. I have traveled many beautiful places in the world but none match the beauty of the bayou and my childhood home of Franklin, La. The sleepy Bayou Teche runs lazily along a beautiful green carpet of grass and tall mossy oak trees. No place on earth holds as fond memories for me. My dear brother Mike, who was ten years my senior, lies to rest on the banks of the muddy Bayou Teche. I did not take the opportunity to stop by today but will in the near future. I love to reminisce and walk among the resting places of dear departed family and loved ones. The family names are etched upon marble and granite but always will be etched upon my heart. Dear Ms. Hattie Martin used to bring flowers to the grave of her husband Emmet and she never forgot Mike. My mama would find nice arrangements upon his tomb many times and we knew Hattie remembered him.
She was such a great person. I drove by her old business today Franklin Flower shop and remembered as a child how my brother did deliveries for her and how dear Marie used to work there. She was our down stairs neighbor when our apartment caught on fire. Life goes on in this sleepy community. The stillness and beauty that awaits visitors there is unmatched in my travels. I thought today as I drove around," I hope the people who are blessed to live this idyllic live are thankful every day as they awaken." The world though it offers beautiful places and treasures you can frame and put in statue cases cannot match the wonder of a life well lived in a place well loved.
Shalom
In Jesus,
Dana Klein

God's Word is Forever Settled in Heaven!

(Ps 119:89 [KJV])
Lamed.For ever O LORD , thy word is settled in heaven

(Ps 119:89
לְ·עוֹלָ֥ם יְהוָ֑ה דְּ֝בָרְ·ךָ֗ נִצָּ֥ב בַּ·שָּׁמָֽיִם׃

dabar (daw-bar') v.
1. perhaps properly, to arrange
2. but used figuratively (of words), to speak
3. rarely (in a destructive sense) to subdue
[a primitive root]
KJV: answer, appoint, bid, command, commune, declare, destroy, give, name, promise, pronounce, rehearse, say, speak, be spokesman, subdue, talk, teach, tell, think, use (entreaties), utter, X well, X work.
[?]

(Deut 8:3 [KJV])
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.


The Lord opened up the Windows of Heaven in Exodus and fed His Children. He did not feed the whole world. He fed those who were His and kept His Commandments. Those who disregarded His Word on this Matter went back and tried to harvest on the same day they had been doing so which was on the Seventh Day or Yom. They did not profit to disregard God's Word. The Bible says," What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his soul?"
When the Lord speaks a word concerning a matter He means what He says. He has not changed in that sense. He again went to Moses and told Him if the people would keep His commandments that His Word Had not changed but went forth as He said to accomplish that which it set out to do. His Word never returns to Him void. It is a matter forever settled in heaven. Surely some of them out of ignorance or just plain rebellion refused to regard the Word of the Lord but they were not blessed for it. His people who had faith in His Word however were blessed.
Why is it that people think they are so special and that the God we serve, even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the image of the invisible God made flesh does not uphold His own Word?
He is the Word read John 1:1 It says the Word was God. The Bible also says that He is the Manna come from Heaven. He is the Bread of Life. We are not to live by bread alone meaning the bread that we labour for but every Word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
When we live by our own means and break the Word of the Lord we cannot expect Him to bless us. He did not start it in the beginning...see Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deut etc
and He is not going to start doing it now. Obey His Word. Keep watch over His Word. Is He not our High Priest seated in the Heavenlies ever keeping watch over His Word to perform it?

(Heb 4:14 [KJV])
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Faith and Obedience walk hand in Hand. You cannot have One and not the other and please the Lord. It does not work that way.

(Gen 26:3 [KJV])
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

(Gen 26:4 [KJV])
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

(Mic 7:20 [KJV])
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

(Gen 26:5 [KJV])
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

So then we as Children of God will be blessed if we keep His Word.

The old song that rings out," Every promise in the Book is Mine. Every Chapter, every verse
every line" is still true today.


(Gal 3:29 [KJV])
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Many times people are deceived in believing that they have nothing to do on their part except believe. That is deceiving. We have to have faith and faith is active. Faith without works is dead. We do not get to heaven by works alone nor do we get to heaven by faith alone. A person can believe something yet never put that belief into action. The devils believe there is One God and they tremble the Word says. A person can be a devil inside and know the Bible is true yet refuse to serve Jesus so believing alone is not enough. That does not save you. It needs to be taken a step farther. Believing the house is on fire is fine but if you sit there and go to your death burning because you were too stubborn to get out of the fire zone to a place of safety then your belief does not profit you whatsoever. We have to be doers of the Word not just hearers. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of the Lord. It all works together for good!

Jesus Bless You as You Live for Him!

We can get lost in time when we study!

I spent my entire day today studying for the Bible Study I am teaching tonight. Before I knew it time had flown and it is was almost time to save, print and get ready to leave. I find the Word so wonderful that I get so absorbed that time stands still.
I hope this short note finds you blessed and deep in study of the most worth while book on the plant....The Bible.
In Jesus,

Biblical Greek Class

Dr.Klein's Biblical Greek Class has been studying and working on translating a text this past week.
They are so excited to be able to read even a small portion (for some a larger portion) of the text in the original language. It really does my heart good to see the amount of study many of them are putting into it. Their Greek text books are becoming ragged already. They poor over the charts. If a person has a desire to learn and look into the things of Jesus that desire births more desire and the end is a greater revelation of who He is. That is what studying the Word of Jesus is about. In the book of John we see the scripture reading:
John 1:1 [KJV]
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
If the Logo's was in the beginning and that same Logo's was with God and that same Logo's was God and we want to know more about Him we can read his thoughts every day of the week. In doing so we will have a greater revelation and deeper knowledge of who He is. The next step after knowledge is then application.
We need to do as the Word says in
Rom 2:13 [KJV]
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Jas 1:22 [KJV]
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Knowledge is great and Revelation is great but even greater is application.
Jas 1:25 [KJV]
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Be blessed in applying the Word of Jesus to your life.

Matthew Mead; The Trumpet of Truth

The Truth of the Oneness of God taught by Matthew Mead in the 1600s.


Editorial Reviews

Product Description Amazon

In the beginning God...Who is this mysterious being worshiped the world over for thousands of years in many different ways, shapes, and forms. Is He attainable to the mortal, or so profound and far away that He can never be known by us.

In this book I will show that God can not only be attainable and known to us, but has already revealed Himself to us in His word commonly known as the Bible. I will also reveal the lies that post-Nicene Christianity has propagated about the one true God over the centuries and the roots from which they sprang.

There is but one God, let the trumpet of truth be sounded among the heresies and heretics, and let the truth be known of who this God truly is and what he has done, and how He has been made into something he's not by compromise and error.

Tolerant vs. Intolerant????

Hello Friends,

Have ever been considered intolerant?

The maybe accusing you of your Biblical plan of salvation, the deity of Jesus Christ, the Lake of Fire will be the home of all sinners, etc.

They accuse you of not being tolerant of their beliefs, but the reality is they are not being tolerant of your beliefs.

They are not tolerant of your true plan of salvation, etc.

They are intolerant of your true plan of salvation.

We tolerate those who deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Sure, they are going to Hell according to the Holy Bible, but we still tolerate them.

Sudan Christians - Hudreds are Dying, Daily! At the Hands of Muslims!

Hello Friends,

The same old story. If Muslims think they can control you, they will!

Muslims in Sudan as they have done in other countries of Africa and elsewhere are killing or causing to starve hundreds of Christians daily.

Islam likes slavery. Slavery of Christians is common in Sudan!

http://www.lnsart.com/Sudan%20Slave%20Story.htm

We really need to pray for these people!

When will Islam have that kind of control in the USA?

The Kor'an teaches to kill the infidel. Who are the infidels? If you are not a Muslim, you are an infidel!

Will your family be killed, because you won't convert? Or will they be slaves for Muslims?

Our church will be having a conference on Islam, November 12th and 13th, 2011.

Judaism doesn't have any prophets. God doesn't speak to those in Judaism! Except, personally for true Salvation.

The Israelites went through the Old Testament times needing to hear from prophets. Because of disobedience they went through 420 years of silence. Then John the Baptist, as a prophet arrives preaching a baptism of repentance. Most Israelites ignored him. Today, the prophets are found in the Church. Judaism doesn't have any prophets. Why? They are out of God's will!

The Consequences of Homosexual Marriage

Hello Friends,

A dad is arrested for trying to protect his son from public school's teaching on 'gay marriages'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJNrtv_aF18

We must take a stand against 'homosexual marriages'!!!!!!!!

As maybe Billy Graham said:

'God will owe an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah, if He doesn't punish the USA.'

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 1:7

Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood killed President Anwar Al Sadat of Egypt because he signed a peace agreement with Israel.

The Muslim Brotherhood has a branch in Gaza- its name is HAMAS!

The Muslim Brotherhood is not a peace loving movement. Jihad (holy war) plays a major part!

The Muslim Brotherhood is not a secular organization. They are a spiritual organization. Their goal is to rule the world!

Some state there are members of the Muslim Brotherhood employed by the USA's Homeland Security Department in key positions?

Greek Class Forming

Every Christian whether a pastor, a Bible teacher, preacher, Sunday school teacher, evangelist, mom, dad, etc. needs to be able to read the Holy Bible. The New Testament was written in Greek. It was translated into English. If you don’t know Greek, you can’t read the inspired, preserved Holy Bible - the Greek Bible! Your English Bible is only a translation. You miss a lot by not knowing what the Greek Holy Bible really teaches! Dr. Klein has written a couple of booklets on Biblical Greek- Reading & Grammar and a book of Greek charts.

We will also study from Dr. William D. Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar.

Well behaved children are welcome. Our boys are students. Homeschoolers are welcome.

Cost: Free

Where: Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College – Acadian Lighthouse Church

When: Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM

Let the Bible Change You!

2 Kings 17:17 "And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."

Faith in Jesus doesn’t call the man or woman down the road to treat them. Instead Christians go to the Lord in prayer asking the Elders (Pastor/Evangelist/Prophet/Teacher etc) to anoint with oil in the name of the Lord such as the book of James teaches in Chapter 5 verse 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

No one can tell me oh its okay and that it’s just our culture. God does not okay sin because it’s embedded in your culture. “Well it works,” some say. That doesn’t make it right with Jesus. People go to Mass or Church meetings and still go and get their cards read. Tell me what Priest or Pastor teaches that going to the fortune teller is okay? Where in the Bible does it say to use passed down secret knowledge to heal?

The children of our day have been very educated via media and games how to work spells to get what they want. A recent sorcery book that was brought into my home by my daughter went into the trash. I watched my Grandma walk to church and all of her children turned out fantastic. None were ever in jail. All of them made a good living and made her proud to be called their mother. One of the Ten Commandments is to honor our mothers and fathers. Read Exodus Chapter 20 for yourself. Do not lie. Do not steal. Honor the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. Do not covet or be greedy. There is only One God. Do not worship idols (not just statues either). Keep your marriage vows. If you are living a sinful life consider that you are teaching your children how to sin. Truth needs to start being taught in the homes. We have the responsibility for our homes. Measure yourself by the mirror of God’s Word not by what you think is right. If you don’t understand what you read then call me I teach Bible classes free of charge. My husband taught English for three years in China at a University. He can teach anyone to read the Bible with the Lord’s help. Jesus is God.

Obey, if You Want Answers to Prayer!

If you don't obey Jesus Christ, than don't waste your time praying!

Adam and Eve didn't loose the garden for not praying. They were praying. They lost the garden for not obeying.

The Israelites didn't loose the Promised Land for not praying. They lost the Promised Land for not obeying.

If you are not going to obey Jesus Christ, than why pray?

Are your prayers not being answered? Are you not obeying?

“And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him (Jesus Christ);” Hebrew 5:9

Defeating the Darkness Bible Conference

Light for Your Path

What a beautiful season we are entering into. All the yard work makes me think back to the garden called, “Eden that Adam and Eve tended.” What a beautiful place that must have been. If I like it here on earth so much I know I am going to love Heaven.

I always think of the Scripture in Revelation that describes all eternity with Jesus as this:

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Think of it. A beautiful place prepared just for you and me by Jesus Christ, Himself. This is what He said, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2

Its going to be a wonderful place to be for all eternity with Jesus. We also can read that the Bible teaches the following:

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9

So what is the bottom line? If you don’t like Jesus now, and the life the Bible teaches you

need to live in order to be saved, then why would you want to spend eternity with Him? To save yourself from eternal damnation? Its not going to happen that way. Make a choice to serve Him today before you end up outside of the boat like they did in Noah’s Day. Jesus is coming back for us. Be it one at a time or all at once we need to always be ready. This may be the last day or hour you have to choose? Choose Jesus. Choose life.

“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:37

Water Baptism - Acadian Lighthouse Church

Hello Friends,

The entire body must be under the water when water baptized at Acadian Lighthouse Church!

Smile, ha, ha!

Brother Tommy being water baptized.


"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38

"And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." Acts 22:16

Why are You NOT Healed?

Some people seek Jesus Christ to heal them. At our church meetings many are healed!

Some receive healing, but they don’t stay healed, why?

1. Lack of Faith

“And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” Matthew 13:58

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1Corinthians 2:5

2. Lack of Knowledge

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

3. Lack of Obedience

“If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.” Malachi 2:2

“And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” Acts 3:23

Summary

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it , do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, …” Colossians 1:9-11

Spiritual Warfare Conference

What do you think of when you see the phrase ‘Spiritual Warfare’?

I think of guns and cannons coming at me from places I cannot see. I think of what the Bible speaks of as fiery darts sent from an enemy that is in another realm. If you think these kinds of thoughts, you are not far from the truth as defined by the Bible. It reads in Ephesians Chapter 6:12:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Ask yourself, ‘do things keep happening in my life that have no earthly explanation?’ If so, maybe something spiritual is going on that can be combated, if you just knew how to use weapons given to us in the Bible. Maybe, you just need a Spiritual Boot Camp. If so, we have one coming up in Kaplan, La. Speakers who are ‘Experts in War’, as one of the conference speakers has stated. This speaker also has a book entitled, “Becoming an Expert in War.”

On April 8^th and 9^th, ‘Defeating the Darkness’, will be taking place at Acadian Lighthouse Church. We will begin on Friday night at 7pm and again on Saturday morning at 9am. The cost is free just bring your Bible. If you need a Bible call and let us know. Come and learn how to use Biblical weapons to fight the unseen forces that are bombarding you.

For more information call 337 517 3954.

Biblical Greek and Hebrew

Hello Everyone,

A very wise rabbi once said, “Reading the Bible in a translation is like kissing your bride through the veil.”

Studying Greek and Hebrew at Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College trains you to lift the veil to really study the Old Testament in the original Hebrew and the New Testament in the original Greek.

Are you tied of someone telling you what the Holy Bible says?
