WHAT ABOUT ENLIGHTENMENT?

Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

Scripture Reading: Colossians 2:8

Are many Americans spoiled by philosophy, psychology and other subjects which use vain deceit?  If they are, who is spoiling them?  Is it philosophers who teach after the tradition of men; is it after the rudiments of the world?  So, we can conclude from this verse that such topics are evil teachings; for they are set in opposition to the doctrines of the Bible.

The Apostle Paul sent this warning to the Christians in Colossae, Turkey.  James Moffatt renders the same verse as, “Beware of anyone getting hold of you by means of a theosophy [a branch of philosophy] which is specious make believe, on the lines of human tradition.”

RACIAL CONTEXT OF JOSHUA/JUDGES

Sermon notes by Jim Jester

July 10, 2022

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Judges 21:25

When Moses died, Joshua was commissioned to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. The book of Joshua is the account of the family of God crossing over the Jordan River on dry ground and possessing all the land that God had given to them. Jehovah had fought for Israel; and the people who had lived in the land were either driven out or killed. The land was divided up among the tribes of Israel, just as God had promised.

Scripture Reading: Daniel 2:16-19

Daniel was taken by his Assyrians captors to their country, but they choose this "seed of David" to be a ruler of Babylon. He lived a flawless life and the only sin his co-rulers could find was that he served his LORD God flawlessly.  Pastor Elmore contrasts his life with someone else.

History records that Martin Luther did not become fully aware of the character and threat of the atheistic Zionist Jew until relatively late in his reforming ministry.  Nevertheless, Luther did identify the Talmudic, atheistic Jew as the formidable anti-Christ and organized enemy of Christianity.  For this reason, the Zionist Jews would later declare that the road to world domination by the Jews had to go through Germany.  That was true for two reasons:

Matthew 23:33  “Ye serpents, ye generation [race or nation] of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell.”

“The people we today call ‘Jews’ are the very disciples of the evil entity whom the Bible describes as, ‘that old serpent, the devil.’”  The above is a quote from an American preacher.  I will tell you who it was at the end of this short message as I have other quotes from him in the remainder of the article.

When I accepted my school position this summer, I was informed that there would be two holidays in the summer that there would be no school.  I wasn’t told what they were…I was just given the dates.  One was Monday, July 4th which I immediately recognized as a holiday.  The other one was Monday, June 20th.  I had no idea what holiday this was, but I knew that we had that day off.

Reading the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper after church last Sunday (6/12), I came upon an article entitled, “What to know about Juneteenth.”

THE PARTAKER DOCTRINE

by Walter Giddings

June 19, 2022

The Partaker Doctrine is not often preached.  It is quite near non-existent in Churchianity!  Would that make our children believe it is not in The Bible? The English translation “partakers” from the Koine Greek, appears 22 times; “partaker”, in the singular appears 8 times. 

This is a followup to the message "Koinonia" given on March 20, 2022.  In today's message, Walter discusses that while the unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine, symbols of the Lord's Supper. have no intrinsic power of themselves, it is his belief that there is power generated by our choice to show Christ’s death through the observance of the Lord's Supper. Walter also admonishes that we should be careful in what and who we partake with.  

SHORT REVIEW OF PASTOR DON’S RECENT SERMONS

June 12, 2022

The time period of the Stuart’s was a fascinating time in history. The one hundred years before the beginning of the Stuarts reign, was the great battle that forged against the Catholic Church—the Reformation.

The creation of the printing press was one of the major life-changing inventions. For after this invention, the Bible was available for practically every Israelite to buy, read and understand in his own language.

The Catholic Church, one of the four major players in the world, was against the printing press publishing the Bible. They fought against the translation into English. But they failed.
