AN OPEN DOOR TO THE BIBLE AND UNDERSTANDING IT

WORLD'S GREATEST BOOK CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IF GIVEN A CHANCE: Beyond question, the greatest book in the world is the Bible, and the greatest Book is about the greatest Person, Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Anointed). The scriptures mean nothing, ultimately, aside from the Messianic theme--for the Bible is not really about religion or Jewish history or various famous Hebrews and Jews or festivals and religious laws or the temple or the tabernacle--all that together have some value in themselves for the Jewish people but can't hold the edifice of the Bible up or make it stand as divine truth, able to save individuals and an entire world that is not Jewish and never will be. The Bible is also like a lantern. Jesus the Messiah is the light in the lantern--and the lantern goes completely dead and dark without Jesus lighting it from within with his own divine light. And then there is the tree--try making a tree with just branches and deleting the trunk--all you will get is a pile of branches on the ground--good for nothing but kindling! But with the trunk in place--Jesus--the branches are part of a living organism, a tree that will stand tall forever. We are the branches, He is the trunk (Jesus said: "I am the Vine, you are the branches."). The Bible does not have to be "irrelevant," as many people say it is regarding their lives. With this understanding, you are on your way to unlocking the scriptures and opening the door to Yeshua--for the Bible is, at the living core, a living Person, Jesus (Yeshua), who delights in His Name, the Word (John 1:1 and in the fact He is the Word of God since before the foundation of the world: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." He intends to flood your life, and my life, with this LIVING WORD THAT IS HIMSELF IN ALL HIS WAYS. HE IS NOT A BOOK TO BE SET ON A SHELF OR A COFFEE TABLE. HE IS WHAT HE SAID, HE IS LIFE--LIFE--LIFE ETERNAL.

The Books of the Bible



JUST USE ME

I am the Bible.

I am God's wonderful library.

I make known to all, Him who is Truth.

To the weary pilgrim, I am a good, strong staff.

To the one who sits in black gloom, [like the Dalit or Untouchable in India, or the drug or porn addict or the victim of abuse or neglect, or the tortured Christian in Laos or China or Burma or Nepal, or the Sudanese Christian slave abducted from Darfur and South Sudan, or the well-off American enslaved by materialism and self-indulgment and self-centeredness and ease] I am glorious light.

To those who stoop beneath many burdens, I am sweet rest.

To him who has lost his way, I am a safe guide.

To those who have been hurt by sin, I am healing balm.

To the discouraged, I whisper a glad message of hope.

To those who are distressed by the storms of life,

I am an anchor, sure and steadfast.

To those who suffer in lonely solitude,

I am as a cool, soft hand resting on a fevered brow.

Oh, child of man, to best defend me, JUST USE ME.

The Bible is God's road map as you travel through life.--from Faith Magazine, Author Unknown

WHY CARE ABOUT THE ANCIENT ESSENE SCROLLS? The history and discovery of the Essene Scrolls (whether the Qumran Essene sectarians wrote them and hid them away is a question, but not anything important, as the scrolls exist, telling about the Essenes as well as comprising most of the books of the Old Testament) is HIGHLY important for our Christian faith and their role in Christian apologetics is so foundational that we have a whole page devoted to them, and we will be adding new material from time to time:

As reported on the Jewish News Wire website in the Sam Goodenough article, President Bush will any day now be viewing the Isaiah scroll, which after forty years in safe-keeping has been brought out by Israel for viewing in commemoration of its grand 60th birthday as a newly reborn nation. This scroll contains Isaiah, word for word, almost the entire book, and is the only such intact book of the Bible, while the scrolls contains fragments of other books only. Is there a reason for this? Read Sam Goodenough's article about President Bush coming face to face with the Bible, those very passages in Isaiah proclaiming the re-gathering (the aliyah) of the Jewish people in their homeland and the rebirth of the nation (which we are celebrating, since its independence was declared on 1947).

THE MESSIANIC BIBLE TEXTS--WHAT ARE THEY?

The Bible's Messianic Texts are thus named because they are extensive and very numerous critical passages in scripture (not a few sporadic verses) that point specifically to the Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus in Latin-English Gentile terminology). Foremost in consideration of these texts, Christ Himself, OUR SUPREME AND MOST AUTHORITATIVE BIBLE EXEGETE, chose it when conducting an informal Bible class with two distraught and troubled disciples who had left Jerusalem just after the crucifixion and were on their way to Emmaus, a village seven miles from the Holy City. This spiritual trek inspired the logo graphic at the top of our home page, and in Judaea in the time of Jesus (see the map) Emmaus is near the bottom, located close by Jerusalem.

"In regard to the Great Book, I have only to say that it is the best Book that God gave to man."

Where is Emmaus? It was a town or village located just north of Jerusalem, seven miles from the Holy City, so look toward the bottom of this map and you will locate it. The people of Emmaus could not help but know what was going on in Jerusalem concerning Jesus, His trials, and death on the Cross, as it was no doubt a tiring but still far less than a day's journey on foot, if you weren't in a big hurry. A man on horseback could probably make the journey in less than an hour, but most people walked or rode slow, plodding donkeys.

B.I.B.L.E.--"Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth"--Acronym by Pastor John Hagee, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas

How about something more grounded to earth, where we must live? "Basic Instruction Besieging, Liberating Earth"? Did you know the Bible describes Earth as a captive, a hostage, a prison camp, a kingdom ruled by darkness and the Devil? Look around! The prince of the power of the air is not Bush or Putin or Assad or any other human leader or dictator, he is Satan, the one once called Lucifer the Cherub. Satan rules this world. As Martin Luther's immortal hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God," set to a bar tune by the way, it goes in one stanza referring to this prince, that "on earth is not his equal." That is a depressing stanza, and if you sang no further, you just have to spend the rest of the day in a pity party. For it is the truth! But thank God we have Jesus Christ, who was victorious over all his enemies, and those were sin (and still are), death, and the Devil. He conquered them all. But we still live in the prison camp, the death camp of sin and the Devil and bondage called Earth. Yet Christ has given us the keys to His kingdom, and He intends us to besiege this prison, this enemy-taken fortress, and liberate the captives, our fellow sinners and human beings who are captive to Satan and sin and the fear of death. With God's holy Word, and His Holy Spirit, and the training given by the Bible and godly teachers, we can go forth equipped as soldiers in Iraq, covered with spiritual armor (and we must have the armor of God to survive the warfare), armed and dangerous. We are to attack the forces of darkness, the spiritual forces controlling our Earth and the people, not attack people. The Islamicists attack people, for they operate in the carnal flesh (which is the realm ruled by Satan their true master, not Mohammed or "Allah"). So, let us equip ourselves by daily reading of the Bible and by prayer, and with submission to the Cross and the changing of the Holy Spirit, we can become true soldiers of the Lord, and achieve real victory. The Lord won't put us in battles we cannot win with his power, but will test us beyond our capabilities and human strength, to be sure. We are to learn total dependence on Him, so expect major battles to come, for everyone must face them--you cannot get through life without facing them. Yet Christ went before us, experienced everything life and the Devil and sin could throw at him--and emerged VICTOR on the other side! We can do the same, following Him, His hand holding ours as we follow in His footsteps! And read the Bible--for it contains many accounts of saints who also went before us. Copy their good deeds and behavior and values, not their mistakes and bunglings, though we are going to make mistakes and bungle it from time to time. Don't excuse yourself with their failings, but know you are going to fail sometimes. We all fall. But we must get up, and try again, and we won't always be falling down--we will be walking steadily, we will be reaching our objectives, not falling back and having to be picked up every few steps. Christ wants us to mature and grow up, not remain spiritual babies that must always be diapered and coddled. He wants grown men and women, who remain childlike and dependent in heart. Was Christ a spiritual baby? Hardly! He is our supreme Role Model. Imitate Christ, and you and I won't go wrong.

"Welcome to the Emmaus Walk, or How to Walk out of Darkness and Deception Into the Light!", by Ronald Ginther, Founder of the Emmaus Walk


The following document represents the last time the U.S. Congress had enough integrity and the sense to acknowledge publicly in law the truth that the Bible, the only authorized and absolutely true Word of God bequeathed to us all by the Jews, is the Cornerstone of our nation and people and the Source of America's greatness.

GRATITUDE TO GOD CENTER:

We appreciate Jews for Jesus, based in San Francisco, California, which is much maligned by liberals and even by evangelicals for its continued preaching of the Gospel of Yeshua the Messiah to fellow Jews who desperately need to know that Jesus is the long-promised (and already arrived) Savior and Lord and Messiah! Some Jews are called Messianic, because they hope and look for the coming Messiah. But they don't have to wait--and possibly die before He comes again! They can know Him now! What would be better than that? Dual Covenant theology states, heretically, that the Jews have a separate covenant under which they are saved, whereas Christians (Gentiles, I suppose, though Jews by the thousands are being saved across the world) are saved under the covenant of grace. Dual Covenant theology simply does not square with the Bible! Jesus said to take the Gospel and make disciples of ALL nations, to the Jews first, and then Samaria, and thence to the uttermost parts of the earth! As the Lamb of God, slain since before the foundation of the world, He knew better than anyone could the lost condition of his people the Jews--so why can't he be understood and obeyed? Dual Covenant theologians can do whatever they please, but I will follow the Lord, and that is the best policy, one based squarely on the Bible and the very words of our Lord.

Zola Levitt Ministries offers 12 courses in the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies. These courses are all excellent, since Zola Levitt was no small authority on the Bible and Jewish studies (and he enlisted a number of experts and authorities in Bible scholarship as well), so you may want to do most of them, or all, but the course, "Messianic Prophecy," is one in particular that you might want to do in order to satisfy an elective requirement in the Emmaus Walk. ZLM will charge you $49 for this one course, or something close to that amount. You can find out about this Institute by going to ZLM:

Bible Lists by H.L. Wilmington (Published by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association) is a book that you will want to have on your desk or in your book shelf for reference. It is fascinating, and contains over 6,000 items Every category, every subject, is given texts and is itemized alphabetically from Abominations to God to Worship of God. If the subject is not in the alphabet, it can't be found in this book, which is highly unlikely. See for yourself. It can answer a lot of questions and save you hours searching and not finding what you are wanting to locate in the Bible. Just go to the subject item in the book, using the table of contents, and there it will probably be!"

RECOMMENDED BOOKS LIST:

First of all, would you read the Bible? This is THE BOOK for all Christians, not anything else. The other books are just that: "other books." Our sole authoritative book or battle primer is the Bible, the Word of God. There is none other Word of God authorized by God. But as for "helps," there are many that are useful, but only as helps or information or references or sources of additional information regarding the Bible.

Israel--still the most important piece of real estate on Earth, as far as God is concerned! The pernicious, false, even stupid heresy of Replacement Theology disagrees, but the Bible has the last word on the State and Land of Israel, the Covenanted, Holy Land given to the Jews by God everlastingly!

For one of the world's greatest Bible scholars and writers on Creationism, who collaborates with scientists in his books:

Dr. John C. Whitcomb also teaches and writes on prophecy in the Bible (see the next section, please). One of his books is the book, "Our Created Moon"--a fascinating study, which shows how God created it instantly, not over millions of years, to preserve life on earth and keep the earth a fitting environment for life for as long as God needs it. You will discover many fascinating things that are secrets, withheld from the students of today in the schools, because they point to a Creator, not the evolutionary process which is blind and could never come up with something like the moon, so perfectly attuned for the role it plays. Another book in this vein is "The Bible and Astronomy."

PROPHECY CENTER:

Dr. Whitcomb's great books (which shine like powerful spotlights through the clouds of swirling confusion, false interpretation, and myths that have been thrown out by many commentators to obscure the messages of the Book of Revelation and Daniel and other prophetic books and passages in the Bible) can be obtained by writing to the Institute for Creation Research, P.O. Box 2667, El Cajon, CA 92021. Or go to the Institute for Creation Research, which has a link to it in our Magazine section below.

China has long persecuted its Christians. This is the story of a Christian pastor who was brutally tortured and imprisoned, but the Lord set him free from prison in the most miraculous way. Now he is freed by God's awesome power to go and tell the world how God came through for him, saving him out of the hands of his captors who sought to kill him many times--but God kept sparing his life so that he could be used in God's plan for evangelizing China and the world in these Latter Days. To order "The Heavenly Man," the story of how a Chinese pastor, Brother Yun, was tortured repeatedly by communists, but survived even the worst treatment they could think to use on him to break his spirit, and was divinely set free from prison and his captors, just as Peter was by angels:

CRUSADING, JEHADIST MUSLIM CENTER:

Yes, as historically proven and evidenced with no end of examples, Islam is a raging, red-hot volcano of violent world revolution, a House of War, not a "religion of peace" as President George Bush Jr., his Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney, and the other naive, politically correct spokespeople for the U.S. Government claim. They preach an utterly false view of Islam, the same view that the dishonest, terrorist-supporting Muslim advocacy organization of CAIR wants us all to believe, despite all the evidence to the contrary. What group is behind most every conflict in the world today? Not Pentecostals, not Presbyterians, not even Mormons--it is Muslims, these so-called peaceful Muslims. But true peace can be found by all 1.3 billion Muslims in this world. Their souls are precious to God their Creator. They are, with few exceptions, beautiful people--and I have travelled in Muslim countries and know this to be a fact. I find them in many ways more humble and human and sweet than most people I meet over in my own country--though we have many good folks here too, despite the cultural dive of America into the pits of secularist fundamentalism. God has provided a perfect Way to the peace that passes understanding--His Son Jesus Christ! This Perfect Way, which is Jesus Christ himself, is for Muslims too! Jesus is an "Equal Opportunity Savior"!

SLAVERY CENTER:

"Negroes for Sale!"

Slavery is well and alive in the world, and continues to spread, even in the United States despite the laws against it, thanks mainly to the liberal (secularist) culture that is predominating and leading to a cheapening of the value of human life.

Further note: The black people of America are also for sale, in the political arena, as the Democrat Party sells them promised goods and services by the government in exchange for their souls (and the lives of millions of their unborn children, eliminated by Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood and its affiliates). Adolf Hitler, a White Aryan racist and an eugenicist who admired Margaret Sanger's work, also hated blacks, and if he were still alive he would be dancing a jig over the success of her racist eugenics programs, which have been instituted into law by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Roe vs. Wade Decision (who were not promoting women's rights but racist eugenics that spawned the genocide of the Jews and lately the extirpation of blacks in America).

Testimonies of Martyrs Center:

A very sad case of Muslim persecution is the following. Turkey is an extremely fascinating, beautiful country, which I found out when I was assigned there by the Air Force. I lived at an Air Force installation for a year, and took the many opportunities to tour and see the land and people for myself on bus tours from the base. I also read every book I could get from the library on base. I keenly observed Turkey, soaked in it, ate and breathed it for twelve incredible months--and could not speak of anything else for years afterwards back in the States. My own sister and mother toured Turkey recently, thirty some years after I had toured it and lived there as a young airman in the USAF. They loved it too, and saw many of the same sights I saw and walked even in the same places where I had walked, such as the 1,500 year old St. Sophia church, now a museum in Istanbul.

After coming to love this special country of Turkey and its special people, how grieved I am that Turkey is turning a persecutor of Christians. Not that it wasn't in the past (for there were massacres of Christians, the Armenians, in the early 20th century, and then later in the expuls)ion of all the Greek Orthodox Christian Greeks from Anatolia, but there is an ominous change going on in Turkey, turning it away from a secular (somewhat tolerant state) country to a more traditional or fundamentalist Islamic state (which only means that persecution of Christians will increase). Christians are again losing their lives, just because they are Christians. This 99.6 per cent Muslim nation does not have a very good record for how it treats ethnic minorities such as Kurds and also Armenians (and Christians, Turkish and foreign, as it outlaws Christian evangelism and will not allow churches to be built). But now the growth of Islamic fundamentalism and the changing of the government to a more religious state than it was before under its Founding Father Mustapha Kemal Ataturk's constitution (in which separation of mosque and state was made the law of the land) is producing the fanatical, intolerant environment for persecution and even martyrdom of Christians.

"I Miss Daddy So Much," Persecution Report by Jerry Dykstra

"Today's Christian" magazine, March/April 2008 issue, features the story of Necati (his last name withheld here for security of his family in Turkey), a Turkish Christian who was tortured and most brutally killed along with two other Christians, one German, the other Turkish Christian, by a Muslim gang. Five Turks are now charged with his murder, who claim they did it "for their religion."

Necati's grieving wife has publicly stated that she has forgiven her beloved husband's murderers, but his little daughter cries every day for her missing father, saying to her mother, "I miss Daddy so much." Necati's son will miss him too more and more as he grows up fatherless in a patriarchal culture where the father is even more important than in Western societies. Please read the story yourself by going to "Today's Christian" magazine, using the link provided immediately below. Prayer is called for in this Persecution Report article on page 16, written by Jerry Dykstra, for (1) the gospel to penetrate Turkey, which remains the largest unreached nation in the world; (2) the minority Christian population to be allowed the freedom to live their faith without threats, arrest, and torture; and (3) the families of the three martyred Christian men to be comforted by the Holy Spirit and Christians around the world.

We will pray for the families of these martyrs for Christ in Turkey!

CHRISTIAN ACTIVISM CENTER:

America's soul is gripped by two opposing forces that aim to destroy the nation. Each is sufficient to do the job, and they have joined forces ("the enemy of my enemy is my friend"). These two forces are secular humanism and Islam. Secular humanism is fundamentalist--it is fighting an all-out war against Christianity and morality and a free America, and winning. But it is also reaching out in friendship to the enemy of America, Islamo-fascism and moderate Islam as well, to come and share in the spoils.

What are we to do? We must stand up for what is right, no matter the cost to ourselves. Our Founding Fathers did that, to defeat the oppressor and create a free nation for themselves and their descendants, and they lost everything they owned, oftentimes, in the struggle. We must again be courageous and stand up and make our lives count for God, Country, and Liberty.

All over Jerusalem, this poster was plastered during President Bush's recent visit there to push his infamous, unworkable, unbiblical "land for peace" fiasco:

The old people-pleasing President Bush (his whole program has been to bring opposing groups together, a nice thought, but wrong if you compromise your core Christian principles and beliefs!) is not acting sincerely with Israel and the American people, as he goes to Israel and poses as an uncompromising ally of Israel, which is far from the truth, while hurriedly going next to Arab countries and Palestinians who hate Israel to assure them he is on their side as well. That kind of fence straddling is impossible, he is going to fall off on one side or the other. As his record shows conclusively, we can say without doubt that he has already fallen off on the side of the Palestinians who have voted for Hamas, the terrorist organization, to rule over them, and Fatah (its counterpart in the Left Bank ruled by the terrorist Mahmoud Abbas). Despite his disclaimers about appeasement and its grave dangers, I have to differ with Dennis Prager (an American Jewish Radio commentator, who is most often the best authority on conservative vs. liberal issues) as I truly see President Bush as an appeaser, a follower of the infamous, washed-up Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister who sold out the free nation of Czechoslovakia to Hitler and the Nazis in order to get Hitler's signature on a "land for peace" agreement. Well, it didn't work then, and it will not work now. Feed a lion a steak, and it will next want the person who handed him the steak--the steak only made the lion more hungry and more aggressive! Make no mistake, Europe paid dearly for Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler (60 million dead and 6 million Jews exterminated in gas chambers, not to mention over 400,000 U.S. soldiers killed in the war to liberate Europe), and we in America will pay dearly too. The Indians are reputed to have invented the reference to a "forked tongue," a tongue that speaks two ways at once, or, in other words, lies and cannot be trusted, it is so perverse. Surveys have come out that Americans, high and low, lie about 91% of the time. This shameful percentage also includes the President and the White House staff. Though they claim not to be appeasers, their actions and particularly the "land for peace" policy of President Bush and the State Department prove that they are, indeed, appeasers, and lying ones, not merely pathetic dupes, as in the case of Sir Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, and his supporters.

Adolf Hitler might as well be standing, reincarnated, next to President Bush, receiving his handshake, instead of Mahmoud Abbas, the terrorist head of Fatah in the Left Bank in Israel--it amounts to the same kind of bloody, blood-thirsty, Jew-hating monster.

The Lord God offers a blessing for all those who bless Israel.

But the same statement follows with the promise that God will curse those who curse Israel. It is a sobering truth, when you see President Bush consorting with terrorist leaders and offering chunks of Israel's God-granted terrritory in exchange for their signatures on a worthless peace treaty that supposedly will guarantee their recognition of Israel's right to exist.

The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac,

And confirmed it to Jacob for a statue, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance."

Our Congress and the state legislatures will do nothing to protect us against these camps. Their hands are tied by political correctness, and the fear of racial profiling.

Terrorism in schools is something we must pray the nation will wake up to, for it is already taking place, as our homegrown terrorists shoot them up. Islamicists have taken note of our schools' vulnerability and the inability of our educators and police to defend children in them. They are training bus drivers and getting them hired, so they can hijack bus loads of children, and also they are training hit squads to go and attack the schools directly, such as they did in Beslan, Russia. In this booklet, the Islamicist template is shown, and you will be harrowed to the bone by the facts in it that were taken from the events at Beslan's massacre of school children by terrorists.

AMERICA'S RE-EDUCATION CENTER:

Why does America need re-education?

Jimmy Carter, clearly the worst U.S. president in the last 100 years, is also a lifetime board of regents member of the Dunces Center for his rabid anti-Semitism and his espousal of anti-biblical causes, not to mention his anti-America stance and friendship with America's worst terrorist enemies. See the article, "Types of Fools," drawn from the Book of Bible Lists by H. L. Willmington, in the Dunces Center, and perhaps you can identify his type there, as the Bible describes fools such as him and others.

As David Barton points out in his new book, "Original Intent," the so-called "doctrine of separation of church and state" IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION. REPEAT: THE SO-CALLED DOCTRINE OF THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION!

WHAT THE TEXTBOOKS AND TEACHERS WON'T TEACH AMERICA'S CHILDREN:

David F. Coppedge, writing in the Acts and Facts Magazine, April 2008 issue, states in his article, "Christians In Space," that Werner von Braun was a born-again Christian.

A model of Explorer I, held by Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Director William Pickering, scientist James Van Allen, and rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun (from left to right). The team was gathered at a news conference at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., to announce the satellite's successful launch. America's first satellite, Explorer I had laughed a few hours before, on January 31, 1958, at 10:48 p.m. EST.--from "Christians in Space," by David F. Coppedge, Acts and Facts Magazine, April 2008.

More than any other rocket scientist, von Braun was the man who put America into space and insured the success and first place of America in space exploration and also the landings on the Moon: "In 1962, an engineer led Dr. von Braun to Christ using a Gideon Bible, by the way, that U.S. schools are now preventing being handed out to students!]. Upon praying to repent of sin and receive Christ, the eminent rocket scientist confessed that he felt a great burden had been lifted off him. He became a fervent Christian, and prayed for the success of his launches. As Apollo 11 lifted off the pad, he was found reciting the Lord's Prayer. Never pushy about his faith, he spoke openly about it when asked. In 1972, he wrote to the California school board to argue for inclusion of non-evolutionary views in science classes. Popular magazine articles by von Braun discussed science's dependence on Christian faith."--page 15, Acts and Facts magazine, April 2008 issue.

INFANTICIDE/GENOCIDE CENTER:

WHEN WILL AMERICA'S BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP TO THE GENOCIDE BEING WAGED AGAINST THEM FOR THE SAKE OF PROFITS AND LIBERAL POLITICS AND POWER-CRAZED WASHINGTON ELITES?

As the lunatic, lying, hypocritical Barak Hussain Obama campaign clearly shows, the black voters (including millions of black evangelical Christians trooping to church two or even three times a week at the best evangelical churches) will support the liberal Democrat Party and its godless radical left agenda until the bitter end. They will do this despite the sorry record from the first of the Democrat Party in civil rights for all Americans regardless of race and color. David Barton of Wallbuilders is available to speak at churches and schools to give the true facts on the record of the Democrat Party in regard to civil rights--it is abyssmal, to put it mildly. Please go to Wallbuilders, David Barton's website, for contact information or for information on his articles about America's true history (before it was revised by liberals).

Rev. Wayne Perryman is one of the few valiant, truthful voices (Rev. Manning is another) crying in the wilderness of falsehoods and rackets to his own Democrat-oppressed and exploited black people in America. He has written two books, "Unfounded Loyalty," and "Unveiling the Whole Truth." In these books he explains that his fellow blacks mistakenly think that the Democrat Party (not the Republican Party) is led them forth to Civil Rights equal to whites and to greater economic opportunity and a larger slice of America's Dream. Not so! he says. He can prove it too. The Democrat Party was (as their voting records and speeches prove) the party that stood squarely against the rights and welfare of the black people of America, for he knows the truth, having done his homework and actually read the documents and Congressional bills and the voting records of Democrats and their speeches against Civil Rights legislation put forward by the Republicans, not the Democrats. The Democrats always fought the advancement of the blacks, from Day One, and only much, much later did they get on board the Civil Rights movement initiated and led by white Republicans. They only did this to gain the black vote and hoist themselves into power in Washington--not because they wanted the advancement of the blacks. The record proves this is the case. Read it yourself, like William Perryman has done. He has written two books, which you can access at his website, showing that the loyality of blacks to the Democrat Party is unfounded. Their destiny is not with the Democrat Party, as it wasn't years ago when the Civil Rights bills were first promoted, by Republicans, NOT DEMOCRATS, WHO BITTERLY FOUGHT THEM AND EVEN HAD THE SUPREME COURT RULE AGAINST A SIMILAR LEGISLATION OF EMANCIPATION PUT TO CONGRESS IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY!

Rev. Wayne Perryman, and His True, Documented Case Refuting and Repudiating the Democrat Party's Claim to be the "Defender" and "Advocate" of "African Americans"

Barak Hussain Obama is the chief hope of the dyed-in-the-wool racist Democrat Party and the White Supremacists too--for he promotes Roe vs. Wade and abortion based on convenience (not true medical need). Imagine that! White Supremacists can vote for Obama and feel sure he will promote the genocide of blacks in America--he will do the killing for them, legally. He will help exterminate the black population in America, through the abortion clincs and offices of "Planned Unparenthood." Woe, woe, woe, Black people of America--you have bought the Big Lie fed to you by the Democrat Party--that they are your party, standing COMPASSIONATELY for your rights and advancement--when it is the exact opposite--they IMPLACABLY, DEMONICALLY intend your utter extinction, and are achieving your extinction, day after day, as the pregnant black girls and women shuffle into the offices of Planned Parenthood and thence to the nearest butcher shop staffed by foreign doctors who love to earn money killing Americans.

HERESY AND CORRECTION CENTER:

The American Church today has virtually lost sight of the Cross of Jesus Christ, even while it is still on thousands of steeples and people love to wear it round their necks. It is not an ornament, it is not a piece of architecture--it is a reality, day to day, or it is nothing, a cosmetic that will wash off.

The whole Christian church needs to return to the centrality of the Cross and the Bible as the inerrant and eternal Word of God. We have slipped very far from the Cross and the Bible unto man's philosophy (including the false Prosperity Gospel) dressed up in biblical robes and even being preached from the pulpits.

ANOTHER PIECE OF REEKING GARBAGE HAS NOW SPEWED OUT OF OPRAH'S PRESSES! SUPREME WITCH OPRAH'S NEW AGE RELIGION COURSE DESIGNED TO EXPEDITE YOUR TRIP STRAIGHT TO ETERNAL TORMENT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE: I received this piece by Warren Smith from a pastor friend, concerning Warren Smith's coming out of the New Age Religion and Oprah's latest "Oprah and Friends" trap which is her new course, begun on XM Satellite Radio, which started January 1, 2008. In Warren Smith's book, "Deceived on Purpose," he warns people to beware of Oprah's new course called "Course in Miracles 'Workbook'" Warren Smith writes: "When I left the New Age 'Christ' to follow the Bible's Jesus Christ, I had come to understand that the 'Jesus' of 'A Course in Miracles' was a false 'Christ'...Here are some quotes...[keep an airline barf bag handy!]

'There is no sin...'

A 'slain Christ has no meaning.'

'The journey to the cross should be the last "useless journey."'

'Do not make the pathetic error of "clinging to the old rugged cross."'

'The Name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol...It is a symbol that is safely used as a replacement for the many names of all the gods to which you pray.'

'God is everything I see.'

'The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.'

'The oneness of the Creator and the creation is your wholeness, your sanity and your limitless power.'

'The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.'"

AMERICA'S SUPREME NEW AGE RELIGION WITCH, BEWARE OF GOD'S JUDGMENT AGAINST WITCHCRAFT AND SORCERY: OPRAH, YOU LIE, YOU LIE, AND YOU LIE! THE WORD OF GOD DECLARES YOU AND ALL WHO STAND WITH YOU SHAMELESS, STINKING LIARS AND DECEIVERS AND CHILDREN OF EVIL, WHO SPREAD EVIL ACROSS AMERICA IN YOUR BROADCASTS, MAGAZINE, RADIO PROGRAMS, AND BOOKS, NOT TO MENTION YOUR OWN IMMORAL AND SHAMELESSLY MATERIALISTIC, CARNAL, AND GODLESS LIFESTYLES!

This course of blasphemy and deception is anti-Christ, and has the anti-Christ spirit speaking throughout it, apparently. It is like having Satan whispering right into your ear, day after day, for the course is broken up into 365 segments or lessons. "A lesson a day throughout the year will completely cover the 365 lessons... Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual mindset." --a Satanic mindset dressed up in New Age religion! An additional reason to pray for her soul: she was a member for several years of Rev. Wright's church in Chicago, the same black liberation theology preacher of hate for whites and advocate of anti-Americanism who has been a thorn in the flesh of 20 year parishioner, Barak Obama, while he campaigns for the Democrat Party presidential nominee and the office of the U.S. president.

I saw Chicago's shameless Supreme New Age Witch Oprah on TV today approving of lesbianism, while interviewing a famous lesbian who is known for seducing and sleeping with every woman within reach. These shameless women, of which Oprah is one, are racing toward the pits of hell and the flames of the lake of fire--and they will have utterly no excuse for their evil doing, for it is clearly their choice.

Since that airing, Oprah has featured the ABOMINABLE sex-changed "man" who is having a baby by artificial insemination. What a picture this is sending to the world of the utter depravity and perversity of America! Aren't our nation's enemies gloating over this further evidence that we deserve all the destruction they can possibly send our way!

WOMEN'S CENTER:

Some of the greatest saints in the Bible were women, as you should know, and very often the greatest men had women even greater in spiritual maturity standing in their shadow supporting them in their work for the Lord! Women's Aglow is one women's group that is fanning the flames of a Holy Spirit renewal and revival across this nation and the world. My mother goes regularly to a local chapter and is richly blessed, with prayer and intercession and even prophecy! Every Christian woman who is truly committed to the Lord and His kingdom ought to seek this group out, and be a part. Aglow is international, and the international conference is being held this year:

RESURRECTION CENTER:

WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION, THERE WOULD BE NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, WE WOULD STILL BE LOST IN OUR SINS, WITH JUST A BOOK OF JESUS'S TEACHINGS TO COMFORT US AS WE TROD OUR INDIVIDUAL PATHS TO HELL. THUS, CHRISTMAS ISN'T REALLY AS IMPORTANT AS EASTER: The Greek Orthodox Church has it right, not the Protestants nor the Church of Rome, that Easter, not Christmas, is the most important date on the church calendar. Christ could still be born in Bethlehem, and gone to the cross and died for sins, but without His Resurrection, nothing would have been essentially changed in man's lost condition, there would have been no salvation for mankind. Neither would there have been any empowerment by the Holy Spirit of the Apostles to go and tell the Good News of Salvation in Jesus Christ!

Big Bad Wolf Business Center:

Oprah's Harpo Television Studios in Chicago, her Radio program, and book promotions, and the spin-off Dr. Phil (a physically big but bald, sexless-looking, half-male clone of Oprah) program, as well as her countless glamorous magazine cover appearances, and lately her coming out publicly to endorse the far-left Democrat presidential candidate, Barak Hussain Obama, for the nominee position at the coming Democrat Party convention, are clearly bad business. I received a word from the Lord about her, straight from the scriptures:

"For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for the cursing and the lying which they speak."--Psalm 59:12.

"Do not make the pathetic error of clinging to the old rugged cross", huh? That's in your current course book. Is that what you really believe, Oprah? Well, what exactly are you clinging to, what is going to save you when the Lord comes to take up his saints? Is it your wealth, or fame, or good looks, or clothes, or your mega-million business, or the banks that hold your billions, or your glitzy, sleezy celeb friends? I would hate to be clinging to what you have--when the Lord comes to gather his covenanted, blood-washed saints! I am so sorry you don't speak as one of them--and must take your lumps with the pagans and libertines of a depraved American culture.

Christians in the Chicago area ought to go and gather by the sign of her Harpo Studios (are they located on Hellbound Boulevard?), and sing "The Old Rugged Cross." Perhaps, it willl awaken her conscience to fact she has abandoned the Christian faith, abandoned Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and is actively leading people to hell, not heaven. And, please, no demonstrations or misbehavior--just sing the wonderful old hymn reverently. That will be enough to send the devils around Oprah running for cover!

It does not matter how many high-ranking government leaders and presidential candidates come out for Global Warming and what they promote as the cure for it--it is a delusion of the first water, and any scheme to solve a hoax such as this one is estimated to cost us in the United States something like 36-38 TRILLION DOLLARS! We do not have 38 trillion dollars--leaders of America! We are in deep, catastrophic debt as a nation! Other nations (not necessarily our friends, such as China and Saudi Arabia) are presently funding our debt interest payments! We are on the road to total melt-down of our economy already, without adding the Global Warming hoax and the incalculable cost of trying to cure it to the list of our liabilities. Is there anything so insane as this? Buy into this hoax and its government schemes to cure it, then you will be insuring the impoverishment of yourself, your children, and your descendants for the next six or seven generations.

The INSTITUTE FOR CREATION RESEARCH REVIEWS HOT BUTTON TOPICS IN THIS ISSUE:

Evolution's evidence for the missing links it claims to have is lacking. Evolutionists have had 150 years to identify missing links, but they have not found one--not one! An expert and authority in the rules of evidence that govern our legal systems and courts and the trials that take place speaks out on the lack of evidence for evolutionary theory. Did you know (and I did not know until I read his article in this June issue of ACTS AND FACTS) that missing evidence constitutes legal evidence in a court of law governed by the rules of evidence. What does not exist can be taken as proof that something did or did not take place! Our judiciary system recognizes this fact. In the case of science, evolution falls down, as it cannot produce, and has not produced for 150 years, the missing links that the evolutionary theory must have to be considered scientific. There are none. No one has ever seen one. Yet the whole theory depends on them. What does this lack of evidence mean? It means that evolutionary theory is a house of cards, built on supposition and blind belief and supposition, not scientific, verifiable facts examined and proven according to the internationally recognized rules of evidence. See for yourself, by going to the article by Dr. Johnson as he shows us how the lack of evidence for a missing link is a silent witness against evolution. The missing link is the corner stone of the entire Darwinian edifice. Without it (and it is without it) the entire structure collapses.

Israel My Glory Magazine celebrates Israel's Miraculous 60th!

Dr. Reagan's articles in the September-October issue of his Lamplighter Magazine are about the most powerful you can find on Anti-Semitism and the Devil's Doctrine of Replacement Theology (The latest twist on it: "Oh, we're just anti-Zionist, we don't have anything against Jews," the Replacement Theologians claim! Sure! But so was Hitler, who had nothing against Jews and Zionists either, as long as they were dead!"

Dr. Reagan tells us everything we need to know about Christian Zionism, so don't miss this issue! One day, and it was a long process, I woke up and found myself a Christian Zionist--and I am so glad it happened, by God's own leading and enlightening Word. Review the history of Christian Zionism, and you too may well be as convinced as I am that God has a grand plan including both Jews and Gentile Christians, though without giving ground to the Dual Covenant heresy. As for the Dual Covenant heresy, which says that Jews and Christians are under two separate covenants for salvation, and so there is no need to evangelize the Jews, that too is explained, and its major exponents are featured.

You can sign up for receiving Lamplighter Magazine FREE via your email. Go to the Lamb Lion website and sign up, or first check out this latest issue (perhaps its most exciting issue so far), which features Israel's 60th Anniversary of its truly miraculous founding as a nation in 1948 in which our own President Harry Truman played a major role:

The Finnish (not all are secular humanists in that nation) are Christian Zionists, as this picture proves. This is an encouraging picture for anyone who has the impression that everyone in the Scandinavian countries have gone socialist and secular--for God has truly preserved his righteous 7,000!

True, the two candidates for the Republican and the Democrat Parties are sadly lacking on a number of counts--but we are not relieved of the responsibility as Christians to vote according to the leading of the Holy Spirit and our own individual conscience. It will not be an easy decision, if we are granted the privilege and opportunity again to vote for a president this coming fall. Perhaps, it would be wise to begin seeking God's guidance now, before the election. We will need it!

CARTOON CENTER

A prodigal, a wastrel, a rake--those are archaic terms for the young sinner man Jesus describes who runs away from God and lives it up in the world, commiting sin until the sin devours him, and leaves him nothing but destitution, starvation, and no hope. We were all once wastrels, rakes, and prodigals--if we admit to the truth. All of us were once enemies of Christ, living from God and his righteousness. All of us once were slaves of sin and Satan, and lost in this sinful, dying world, with only eternity in hell to look forward to. Here is a cartoon that portrays the lost runaway soul that each and every one on earth is or was, but it (along with my deceased father's testimony) also shows the way out, the solution being Jesus Christ alone. Don't try to live without Him. Life isn't worth it, no matter what you think. Life can be take from you any moment--then what? You don't want to risk experiencing an afterlife without Jesus Christ--it will be worse than anything you could possibly imagine. On earth you have grace and blessings even while unsaved, living without the Lord Jesus in your life--but all that changes in a moment's time at the separation of your soul from life. You enter a graceless dimension where nothing but judgment and punishment awaits you, since you chose that by rejecting or ignoring (which is the same thing) the only person who could rescue you from such an unthinkably terrible fate. The Bible describes hell and also says there is a worse place where hell itself, full of condemned sinners awaiting final judgment before the Great White Throne, will be someday cast: the lake of fire. That is your ultimate destination, not hell. This may not sound like good news, and it is not good news. The good news is that Jesus came to earth, was born among us, died on the Cross for our sins as a sinless Lamb of God, won our atonement and salvation, by His substitution of Himself in the payment of our sin's penalty, and it was accepted fully by the Father in heaven. I cannot think of better news than that! Can you?

THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL--IS IT APOSTOLIC, BIBLICAL, AND SOUND DOCTRINE? THIS IS WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS:

ACTS 3:6

"Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."--Peter to the lame beggar at the Temple gate called Beautiful.

As he himself testified in public at the Temple gate to everyone listening, Peter had no money and was not ashamed of it, but by what happened, we know that he had true riches in Christ, and was able to release God's miraculous healing power--something no amount of money could buy!).

Jesus Christ to the Church of Laodicea, which is generally the church in contemporary America:

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans (most American churches) write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: I know thy works, that thou (we the American churches) art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou (we the American churches) art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee (we the American churches) out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I (we the American churches) am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou (we the American churches) art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire (repentance, commitment, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a Bibical, godly life and righteous values), that thou mayest be rich and white raiment, that thou (we the American churches) mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eye with eyesalve, that thou (we the American churches) mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke, and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."--Revelation 3:14-19

THE EMMAUS WALK MISSION STATEMENT:

Jesus Christ first, and all the rest will fall into line.

We hold to the truths expressed in the Nicean Creed in its entirety

What does "Evangelical" mean? The word has been applied so broadly and with all sorts of abandon to things and people who are far from evangelical and Bible-based. Jimmy Carter, for instance, is no doubt called an "evangelical," which is a most unbelievable application, since he behaves completely contrary to evangelicalism. Once the meaning was understood, now it has been "mainstreamed" to the point of meaninglessness. The Emmaus Walk is an Evangelical Site, and since the term "Evangelical" is undergoing a bad, unBiblical kind of revisionism by some liberal-leaning people in evangelical Christian circles today, we mean "evangelical" in the strict following sense: this classic, true definition from World MAP is the best we could cite for what we mean here by "Evangelical":

"An Evangelical Christian is a person who believes that Jesus Christ is the sole source of salvation through faith in Him, has personal faith and conversion with regeneration by the Holy Spirit, recognizes the inspired word of God as the only basis for faith and Christian living, and is committed to Biblical preaching and evangelism that brings others to faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, an Evangelical church is a church that is characterized by these same beliefs and principles. Some churches that are not considered Evangelical in faith and practice, may contain members who are Evangelical."--World MAP Digest, Definition of Terms, p. 7, Winter 2008 Issue.

Site scriptures (Jesus said, if we would obey just one commandment to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and the second which is like it, to love our neighbor as ourself, we would fulfill all the law of God): "Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent, a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous all around him.

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people.

"Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."

"All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, to such as keep His covenant and His testimonies."--Psalm 25:10

"I will hear what God the Lord will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints, but let them not turn back to folly."--Psalm 85:6

Prayer from the Psalms, for America and also her mother country, Britain:

"Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts, look down from heaven and see, and visit this vine.

And the vineyard which Your right hand [Jesus Christ--Y'Shua--the Son of God] has planted, and the branch [Jesus Christ, Y'shua the Messiah] You made strong for Yourself.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

Then we will not turn back from You, revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

Restore us, O Lord God of hosts, and we shall be saved!"--Psalms 80:14-19

This is not an informational or activist site for right-wing agendas--it is for studying the Bible as a Messianic Revelation, while seeking Biblically approved ways to preserve the nation and our Biblically-founded institutions and freedoms (for without those institutions and freedoms, we would not have access to the Bible, not with secular fundamentalism and Islam acting together in America to stamp them out). This site is not a game or entertainment, we really want to discover Jesus as Y'shua the Messiah and Christ, not the Sunday School flannel-graph guy with the brown hair, blue eyes and light complexion that is passed off for the real Rabbi Y'shua. If that is your desire too, contact us by writing: Ronald Ginther, The Emmaus Walk, P.O. Box 212, Puyallup, Washington 98371
