Galatians 3:26-29, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

Only Those Who Have Faith Are Made Heirs With Christ

Romans 10:9-13, God's Promise To Save Them That Believe
Romans 10:9-13, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
This is one of the most debated passages of Scripture. I have heard much heresy taught by unlearned preachers from this passage. I love something that Pastor Curtis Hutson said: “A good rule to follow when interpreting the Bible is to never use an obscure passage to contradict a clear one.” That is one of the best quotes I have ever heard.
Without argument, Romans 10:9-10 is definitely an obscure passage of Scripture. Many Christians debate over the meaning of “confess with thy mouth.” The cult of Church of Christ is one example of those who corrupt the meaning of this passage, mandating that a person publicly confess Christ to be saved. Nothing could be further from the truth! We have a very clear passage in the Bible, the entire Gospel of John, which simply teaches to BELIEVE on Jesus Christ to be saved. John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” This is a very clear passage. Yet, the Church of Christ and other false teachers will use one obscure passage of Scripture from Romans 10:9-10 to add a requirement to the Gospel which God does not require.
In the Gospel of John the word “believe” is mentioned 88 times, but there is no mention of confessing Christ with your mouth to be saved. We have a precious promise from God in Romans 10:9-13 that God will save anyone who believes. The Bible elaborates on this truth, to ensure that there is no misunderstanding. Romans 10:12, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.” Here we plainly learn that God is not a respecter of persons, promising to save ANYONE who places their faith (trust, reliance) in Christ alone.
Romans 10:10-11
Romans 10:11 is often misinterpreted. I have heard numerous Bible teachers and radio preachers get this Bible verse wrong, teaching that you are not saved if you are ashamed of Jesus. That is not what this passage means. Romans 10:10-11, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” At a glance it does seem, from reading verse 10, that verse 11 is teaching that a person won't be embarrassed if they truly believe. This is the errant interpretation of the Church of Christ cult.
We know this is not the correct interpretation for a few reasons:
First, Romans 10:11 is a quote from the Old Testament. Isaiah 28:16, “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” The correct meaning based upon Isaiah 28:16 is that someone who believes on Christ will never be let down. Jesus will not fail you! That is what Romans 10:11 really means. You can count on God's promise to save them that believe!!! This is a good example of why we must “Study to shew thyself approved unto God” as the Bible exhorts in 2nd Timothy 2:15a.
Second, as mentioned earlier, the Gospel of John plainly teaches that all God requires to be saved is to “BELIEVE ON HIM” (John 6:40). John chapters 19 and 20 tell the story of Christ's brutal crucifixion, burial and His bodily resurrection. This is the Good News (the Gospel) according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4.
Third, we learn in John 12:42-43 that many of the chief rulers “believed” on Christ, but “THEY DID NOT CONFESS HIM.” John 12:42-43, “Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” The Bible is clear that these chief rulers did get saved, but they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. This evidences that confession is NOT necessary to be saved.
Fourth, the Apostle Paul defines the Gospel in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” Paul makes no mention of confessing, repenting, water baptism or anything else. If turning away from a lifestyle of sin, or publicly confessing Christ, or anything else were necessary to be saved, then Paul would have mentioned it.
The written Word of God promises salvation to anyone who trusts in Christ.
Romans 10:13
Another commonly misunderstood Bible verse is Romans 10:13. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Carefully notice what the next verse says. Romans 10:14, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” This is another obscure passage of Scripture. I have heard some preachers errantly teach that praying to be saved is the Bible method. That is not true friend. It would be foolish to base a doctrine upon one Bible verse, when there is a clear passage of Scripture that contradicts that strange doctrine.
As I mentioned earlier, the word “believe” is mentioned 88 times in the Gospel of John. There is no mention in John about “calling” upon the Lord. Romans 10:14 plainly teaches that a person cannot “call” until they first “believe.” This plainly shows us that Romans 10:13 is an exception to the rule. There is nothing wrong with praying when you receive Christ as your Savior. However, it is not necessary. Praying is a natural tendency when a person believes. Many soulwinners lead people to pray a Sinner's Prayer to receive Christ, but the truth is that the only reason they want to pray such a prayer is because THEY ALREADY BELIEVE. That is exactly what Romans 10:14a says, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?” The Bible teaches that before a person ever prays to be saved, they were already saved the very moment that they believed. Isn't that wonderful?!
Oftentimes in churches an invitation is given for people who want to be saved to come forward to the altar in front. The truth is that those people were saved before they even left their pew, when they believed. I don't like altar calls for salvation. Why cannot those people be told how to be saved right in their pew? They certainly can. Why do they need to come forward? They don't need to. Many people, like myself, are shy and won't walk down to be made a spectacle in front of the whole church.
Other people may not feel well in their body. In every church I have seen, where altar calls are given to come forward, people are asked to get down on their hands and knees. That is not always a modest thing to do for women, depending on their attire. It is also a dramatic new experience for someone who has never been to an altar before. It is a shame that so many pastors woefully lack understanding, wisdom and respect for people. Most churches want people to come forward, so they can make a spectacle out of them and boast of their numbers saved.
Every preacher should ALWAYS tell people how to be saved right from their pew, without asking them to walk an isle to go up front. By requiring people to come forward those foolish pastors have ADDED an unnecessary step to the Gospel, corrupting it. Heaven only knows how many millions of people have died in their sins and gone to an eternal Hell, all because preachers never told them how to be saved from their pew. Pastor Max Younce has authored a wonderful book about this very topic called: 'Salvation And The Public Invitation.'
So in this blog we have learned that Romans 10:9-13 is often misunderstood in a few ways. You don't have to confess Christ with your mouth to be saved. Believing is enough! Just because you are ashamed of Jesus doesn't mean you don't believe. Even the Apostle Peter was ashamed of Jesus, denying knowing Him three times due to fear. God promises to “SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE” (1st Corinthians 1:21b). Beware of anyone who requires more than believing to be saved. The Bible teaches that faith is enough. Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” You don't need to pray to be saved. I love this helpful quote from Dr. Bob Jones Sr. (1883-1968):
“'Pray to be saved. Ask the Lord to save you.' This is what I heard a minister say to a convicted sinner who came forward for prayer at the close of an evangelistic service. Nowhere in the Bible are men told to pray to be saved. There are examples where men did pray and were saved. Men are told to repent, to believe, to obey the Gospel, but the Bible never says to pray for salvation. It does say that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, but nowhere does the Bible command men to pray to be saved. I think I know why, God, who made the human heart, knew that it was not necessary to tell convicted sinners to pray. If a sinner can see Jesus Christ on the cross, it is as natural for him to pray as it is for birds to sing or flowers to bloom. 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.'” —Dr. Bob Jones Sr., “Comments On Here And Hereafter,” chapter: Prayer And Praise, page 163; Bob Jones University Press, Inc., © 1942
Amen and amen! Dr. Bob Jones Sr. is absolutely correct! Anybody who says that you need to pray to be saved is a liar. The Bible gives us the simple way of salvation. Acts 16:30-32, “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

Romans 8:28, God's Promise That All Things Will Work Together For Good
Romans 8:26-29, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
Romans 8:28 was Pastor Lee Roberson's (1907-2007) life's Bible verse, that he always wrote down when he signed King James Bibles. If you're anything like me dear Christian friend, your life hasn't gone the way that you hoped. In fact, my life has been a train wreck. My father (who was a neo-evangelical Skid Row minister) disowned me in 2002 over the King James Bible. In 2004 I started having horrible chronic pain and tension in my neck. I was diagnosed with cervical stenosis, displaced disks and radiculopathy. My wife divorced me in 2006. I lost my home soon thereafter to pay for legal expenses. My family was a wreck. In 2009 and 2010 I underwent two major neck surgeries thousands of miles away, with no one by my side. I wanted to die. The second surgery made me 100%, leaving me with constant burning in my nerves and both arms feeling inflated with air all the time. I went into a major depression.
In 2013 I tried to move from Guam to Hawaii, then Tennessee, but I was eventually overwhelmed with loneliness and no friends or family by my side. I spent $50,000 going in a big 4 month circle, coming back to Guam tired, frustrated and defeated. In late 2013 I crawled into the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. I needed their help and love desperately, which they gave me for several months. I fell in love and found a woman that I wanted to marry. But then I made a fatal error by befriending the incompetent church pastors with THE TRUTH. The church was using dozens of Devil's Bibles. They were preaching the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation. They were preaching Misunderstood Repentance, telling people that God would not save them unless they turned away from a sinful LIFESTYLE. I spend several hundred dollars in hard copies of books. I gave them personally to the pastors.
Consequently, I was driven out of church. The pastors threw me under the bus like a bag of garbage. The woman I loved and loved me was gone. I lost everything, again. In desperation I begged to return to church in 2017, still in love with the church nurse. The pastors were cruel and to me to “Go elsewhere.” Since that time I have had nowhere to go, and haven't been to church in seven long years because of them. God will make them pay! The woman I loved moved away and married another man, which broke my heart. That evil no good devil Marty Herron went his merry way, like the serpent in Genesis, after destroying people's lives. I almost commit suicide because of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. The new pastor, Gary Walton, has been no better since 2018, keeping me under the bus. What a wicked person!
I suffer in constant loneliness and pain. I struggle day by day to find happiness. My nerves burn continually. Nobody cares about me at Harvest, who exemplify a money-oriented cult. All I can do in my loneliness, suffering and pain is claim Romans 8:28, that somehow, someway, someday that God will make it all work together for good. I would rather die than not have a wife for the rest of my days. I need companionship. I am working diligently now to move again. I have chosen east Tennessee. God willing, I will move in July, as soon as possible. I can only pray and ask God to help me find a new church family, and hopefully meet someone that shares my heart of passion and concern for truth and people. The ungodly people at Harvest Baptist Church have shown me by example everything that a professed Christian shouldn't be!
Furthermore, they are NOT born-again believers, because they are wrong on the Gospel. They are wrong on repentance. They are wrong on the Bible. They are in big trouble with God. If I weren't a child of God, I would have killed myself a long time ago, to make the pain stop. But I know that God is still on His throne, and He loves me. I don't feel loved by God right now. I don't see God's hand at work in my life. I keep falling in love with the wrong women, who don't reciprocate my feelings. Rejection hurts. But they rejected me, and I can live with that. The nurse at Harvest emailed me and told me never to contact her again. Once she said that, my hands were tied, and it was a matter of my honor as a man. So I abided by her directive, as hard as it was was me, because I am a gentleman. She has made her foolish choice.
God is always good. I will NEVER put the Lord on trial for the things that I don't understand. Pastor Jack Hyles wisely taught me that: “To lose something in the will of God is to find something better.” I lost my church family at Harvest Baptist Church, and Kristen and Abby whom I wanted to marry rejected me, and I haven't had a church family since 2015, all because I TOLD THE TRUTH to Harvest's ungodly pastors. HELL WILL BE HOT FOR THEM! Matthew 7:21-23 plainly describes their fate, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” I earnestly long to hear the Lord deny knowing them all, so that THE TRUTH will be vindicated.
You have God's promise dear child of God, that when all is said and done, all things will WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD. The Bible doesn't say that all things will be good. Clearly, my life has been a miserable existence so far. Truthfully, I hate my life. I have been completely alone for the past 15 years, and am daily consumed with finding a wife. It hurts me that the selfish pastors of Harvest couldn't care less about me as a human being. I pray night and day for God to avenge me of their cruelty and heathendom. That is no way for a church to behave.
I don't know how, but God promised in Romans 8:28 that everything is going to work out. Right now I am utterly disgusted with everything. I have turned off my emails for the next several months. I just need to be left alone. I am tired in my soul and pissed off about my situation. Enough is enough! It has been too long that I have been alone and I am done surviving like this. I cannot continue surviving as a recluse. I have been contacting dozens of realtors, most of whom didn't even bother to reply. The few that did were worthless. Then I contacted dozens of rental websites, trying to find a place to rent in Tennessee. It has been a nightmare! Most don't respond. Some wait weeks to reply. Only one panned out, and I applied, but they are dragging their feet in the approval process, and I want to move now.
I am working on my medical, staying up all night later today if I have to, to find a doctor. I have already found the cheapest hotel available, for $1,200 a month. I need to get the hell off Guam. I cannot take anymore hatred, rejection and pain from Harvest Baptist Church. What a damned religious cult! Harvest's pastors are not men, they are childish cowards! May God do the same evil unto them as they have done unto me (Romans 12:19-21). Right now I don't feel like anything will ever work out, but the Bible says we WALK BY FAITH, AND NOT BY SIGHT. So I am trusting the great heart of God, knowing that I am in the right, because I told THE TRUTH (Romans 3:4). Since I have suffered great loss, pain and loneliness for my faithful stand for God's Word, the Lord is bound by His honor and promises to recompense me.
I have faith in God (Mark 11:22). God PROMISES in Romans 8:28 that all things will WORK TOGEHTER for good. I don't know what, when, where or how, but they will work out for good. I pray for God to avenge me. I pray for God to bless me. God has already cursed those who disregarded the truth at Harvest and Bob Jones University (Galatians 1:6-9). God will not be mocked, the Bob Jones crowd WILL reap what they have sown (Galatians 6:7).
Until then all I can do is hang in there, in my bad situation, and hope prayerfully that God will help me rebuild my broken life one step at a time. Right now I am planning on moving to Knoxville, and to attend the Temple Baptist Church in Powell. I hope to find a wife there, God willing. They have a singles ministry, which I definitely want to look into and join if I am welcomed at age 54. I very much need a church family. Pray for me dear friends. Most of the churches today are pathetic, which is the only reason I have suffered for the past seven lonely years, because of the hatred of Marty Herron, Gary Walton and Harvest's complicit members, who have banned and ostracized me from attending church services. They are of the Devil.

Romans 19:17-21, God Promises To Avenge All Wrongs
Romans 12:17-21, “Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”
We've all been hurt by other people, and we've all hurt somebody along the way in life. Sometimes we don't intend to hurt others, but it happens. Sometimes people get hurt because of the consequences of something we did wrong, and it haunts us. And sometimes our direct actions hurt somebody. As believers we are promised by God that if we judge ourselves we shall not be judged. 1st Corinthians 11:31, “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” That means if we take care of the problem God won't have to. If we have hurt somebody, we are biblically obligated to make it right with them. This includes more than just an apology, but also if required, restitution and reconciliation. Matthew 5:23-24, “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”
Matthew 12:26 says that God will hold all men accountable even for their words. Proverbs 24:12 says God judges humans according to our thoughts, “If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” No man can outrun God! No human being can outwit God. Job 9:1-3, “Then Job answered and said, I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.” Job wisely understood that if a man were to contend with God, that he couldn't win even one in a thousand debates. God is always right dear friend. God never makes a mistake.
I am amazed as I listen to these nutty arrogant scientists these days, who are attempting to find the defects in the human genetic code and correct them. Literally, geneticists are combing through billions of genes and isolating certain genes, changing them in an attempt to create the perfect superior human being. It is frightening when we consider where this all might lead the human race. I cannot help but wonder sometimes, if some of the plagues we read about in the book of Revelation are now being created by meddling mad scientists. We read that during the future Tribulation period God will “destroy them which destroy the earth” (Revelation 11:18b). Men are indeed destroying the earth, from the toxic chemical dumping by the corporations to pollution of every sort that is hurting millions of suffering people in China and elsewhere.
Anyway, back to the main point of the article. God promises to avenge all wrongs. Everyone deserves justice, whether they are 3 years old or 90. Most injustices go unrighted in this world. Most indicted murderers never got convicted. Most rapists never get caught. Most stealing goes unpunished and the thieves never get caught. I have had thieves steal multiple times from me. Someone broke into my garage in Chicago and stole my air-compressor and my tools. I never found out who did it, nor did I get my stuff back.
Someone also stole my car in 2004. I came out of my home on a Sunday morning to go with my family to church in Chicago, but our car was gone. Police found the car 2 weeks later smashed into a telephone pole in an alley. The car was damaged beyond repair, and I left it at the pound where the city had towed it. The thieves never got caught. I don't know who stole my car. Those thieves cost me over $10,000 in damages—$5,000 that I paid for my old car, and then I had to buy a new vehicle which cost another $4,800, plus all other involved expenses. The thieves popped the trunk, breaking the lock, stealing $200 worth of things I had bought and put into the trunk. God knows who those thieves are. I will see them again on their court day, when God judges them, and I will be vindicated.
I could mention a hundred more injustices in my life, but time fails me. I have GOD'S PROMISE that He will avenge all wrongs. When we can seek justice through any available court jurisdiction, I think we should. That is our right. But in many cases in life, the local court system won't have any jurisdiction to help us get justice. In these type of difficult situations it is tempting to take the law into our own hands and seek vigilante justice (which is really revenge). To truly be justice, every person must be given a fair trial by their peers. Well, God is omniscient and knows all. Hebrews 4:13, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 9:27 warns all mankind that we have an appointment with God when we die. No one can escape the judgment of God. Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Dear reader, are you prepared to meet your God? I am, by God's grace. I have made peace with everyone in my life. I don't mean that if you had an argument with a friend, and your not talking right now, that you should do something about it. That is something different. We all have spats and disagreements. That is just a part of being human, and we all process the way we handle it differently. I'm talking about the wrongs you've done to hurt others. Have you made them right? Do you owe someone money that you borrowed, but never paid back? Sometimes we are unable to settle a dispute, for whatever reason. The person could have passed away, or moved away and we don't know how to contact them anymore, et cetera. In these types of situations, God alone will need to settle the matter, and He will I assure you, because HE HAS SO PROMISED in Romans 12:17-21. Romans 12:19, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
Vengeance belongs unto Go alone. The reason why most people seek to executive revenge upon their enemies is due to a sinful lack of faith in God. When someone is mean to me, or hurts me, I have God's solemn promises that He will avenge me as His adopted child (Matthew 25:40, 45). You don't mess with God's children's!!! Not if you have any sense at all. God is not an absent parent and He sees everything that happens to every believer.
The King James Bible has much to teach about this important matter. 1st Thessalonians 4:6-7, “That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.” Again we find a promise in the preceding Bible passage, from God where He vows to every believer to avenge any sister or brother who has been defrauded (sinned against).
The practical lesson dear reader that I want you to take away from this Bible study is a precious truth I learned long ago, which is to always forgive those who hurt us and to commit the entire matter into God's hands for judgment. LET GO, LET GOD! Romans 12:21 admonishes us as victims not to be overcome with evil; but rather, to OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD as the Bibles says! I love that!!! In other words: Always take the high road!!!
We could all dwell on our painful past memories and allow them to make us bitter, angry and distrustful of the whole world around us. But I refuse to live that way, in fear and misery. I am a happy person simply because I choose to be a happy person. It is the things that we choose to focus upon in our mind that shape our future thoughts. This is why the Apostle Paul admonishes us all as believers in Philippians 4:8 to think on these things that are lovely, of good report, things of virtue and praise, and so forth. Our mind is a sponge, a truly magnificent creation by our omnipotent God, and we ought spend our precious time filling our mind with good reports, good music, ideas, education and inspirational things.
God will one day in eternity right all wrongs. You have His solemn PROMISE of it In Romans 12:19. God has trillions of dark, evil and unthinkable heinous crimes which still must be accounted for and judged. We still haven't been told the real truth about what went down on 911 when they New York City World Trade Center was imploded in just 10 seconds. How do 2 planes brings down 3 buildings? Not one skyscraper (not even partially) has perfectly imploded to the ground in just 10 seconds, let alone THREE BUILDING. To prepare for controlled demolition, it requires several months to prepare and then execute such a large scale operation. It is absolutely clear that demolition teams were involved, using military grade thermite charges to cut through the main beams of the WTC. 911 was an INSIDE JOB!
The Bush family were 100% complicit. They orchestrated the whole event. Vice President Dick Cheney told NORAD (Airforce fighters to intercept and destroy the threat) to stand down (to allow time for the 2nd plane to hit WTC 2). They made it happen, to get their own sinister uncongressional war in the Middle East. I could go on for hours just about the things I have learned since 2001, but it wouldn't change anything, they got away with it. What rejoices my heart is reading Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.” No one ever gets away with anything. The monstrous Bush family murdered 1,455,590 innocent people in Iraq, in an illegal war that congress did not approve. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” If you are an evildoer, that last Bible verse should scare the dickens out of you!
So whatever your pain is friend, leave it at the foot of the cross. Leave your burdens at Jesus' feet at the cross of Calvary. If you have wronged somebody, them go make it right. Apologize. Ask how you can make things right. If you owe someone money, pray them. If you cheated them, make up the losses up to them. If it is a different type of matter where nothing you can do will help the situation, then all you can do is to commit the matter to God in earnest prayer. There are too many unique situations for me to cover how to handle them all.
1st Corinthians 2:16b says born-again believers, “HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.” Search in your heart of hearts how God wants you to handle a particular matter. Ask God for wisdom. But never take the law into your own hands. It is wrong for anyone to take upon them self the role of being judge, jury and executioner (which the ungodly newsmedia do every day). That is not our jurisdiction in life. The court system is there for a reason, as servants (magistrates) of God. They aren't always just and fair.
In fact, sometimes the people working in the court system are crooked, thieves, liars and can be even worse than the criminals they prosecute! That is why God put Ecclesiastes 5:8 in the Bible, to encourage us as believers, with the confident hope in God's PROMISE that He always gets the final say!!! Men are not God. The most powerful and cruel men in this world still grow old and die, and then they MUST face God. Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” All men cannot escape God's wrath and judgment. The ONLY way of escape is through faith alone in the sacrifice of God's only begotten Son on the cross for our sins. Jesus was buried. Three days later Jesus physically resurrected from the dead (1st Corinthians 125:1-6). Any acknowledged guilty sinner who believes this 'GOOD NEWS' (Gospel) is saved instantly, irrevocably and permanently forever and ever. Jesus promises never to turn anyone away. John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
The main bit of advice I have for you dear reader is to: Make sure you are saved. Things will not go very well for Christ-rejecters after death. At death God's mercy ends for the unbeliever. If you die in your sins (John 8:24), I can assure you that the last thing on your mind will be getting justice from those who hurt you. You're mind is going to be preoccupied worrying about yourself, knowing that Hell is going to be your eternal home. I shudder in horror when I consider that Seventh-Day Adventists foolishly deny the existence of a real burning Hell for all Christ-rejecters. Whether you believe the Holy Bible or not doesn't change it! You are not hurting anyone except yourself and your family and loved ones. Please get saved while you still can, before your time is up, and the Grim Reaper (death angel) comes to get you.
There is no unrighted wrong that won't be made right by God. God's holy nature demands justice, justice for all humanity. Justice requires death for sins worthy of death. Mark God's Word dear friend, there will be justice, you can count on it, or else the Bible is not true.

Romans 8:32, God's Promise To Give Us All Things
I drink lots of water with my pain medications. I am thankful each time I drink water and am often reminded of the rich man in Hell who could not receive even one drop of water in his torments, although he begged and pleaded for mercy. I was thinking today of how awesome, generous and merciful God is to the world. The Bible says that God is good to everyone. Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.” I was thinking about the drastic contrast between what the saved verses the unsaved will experience in eternity. For the forgiven in Jesus Christ (who have received the Lord's sacrifice on the cross as full payment for their sins) ALL THINGS shall be given unto them...
Romans 8:31-33, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us ALL THINGS? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
Luke 16:22-26, “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.”
The worst sin that a person can commit is not murder or adultery, it is forgetting God (which leads to all other sins). Psalms 50:22, “Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.” America has forgotten God, banning the Bible from our nation's classrooms. Women all dress whorishly and seductively in public. The abortion industry has taught Americans that life is cheap. The end result is a society that doesn't care what they do to others, even children. What do you expect in a society that cheapens and exploits the human body for profits? People speak of Seven Deadly Sins, but ALL SIN is deadly! All sin leads to more sin. Forgetting God is 100% sinful pride. The Bible says God will tear those who forget Him into pieces.
God gave both northern Israel (Isaiah 40:2) and southern Israel (Jeremiah 16:18) DOUBLE punishment for their advanced stages of wickedness in society. Americans deserve FOUR FOLD the punishment for our nation's crimes against the innocent and God (and our day of reckoning is fast approaching).
It's all or nothing... what will it be for you?
God Will Give To Us All Things, Never To Be Taken Away Again
ALL THINGS shall be given unto the Christian in eternity:
Romans 8:31-33, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us ALL THINGS? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
We will have literal possessions in Heaven. In Matthew 6:20 Jesus told us to lay up for OURSELVES treasures in Heaven. The Lord promised that no thief could ever steal them. You won't have to sell and lose your home to pay for legal expenses in Heaven. You won't lose many of your personal belongings, having strangers come into your home and take away your stuff. No one will steal your car and trash it out, driving it into a telephone pole at high-speed. You won't lose your pets one day and never even get to say goodbye (after loving and feeding them for 9 years).
The Lord promised that neither rust nor moth would deteriorate our possessions. Neither dry rot nor humidity will ruin our possessions in Heaven. It's ironic, the Lord wants us to forsake all possessions down here on earth, so we can gain all up there in eternity. I believe that we will have our beloved pets back in Heaven that will never be taken from us again. No more tears of losing everything that we ever loved or cared about... gone in a flash! No more no-win situations where we have absolutely no control, as our life is torn away from us. It won't happen in Heaven. Jesus won't allow it!
But if you die in your sins as most people will (Matthew 7:13-14), then you WON'T even be allowed a single drop of water. NOT ONE DROP OF WATER to quench your thirst in the torments of Hell. Now the Bible does mention the gnashing of teeth caused by physical pain in Hell (Matthew 13:42); but the Bible also mentions a different gnashing of the teeth caused because of seeing all that you could have had with the loving Lord, but you lost it all because of your own stupidity and short-sighted unbelief on earth. Luke 13:28, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”
Can you imagine being in the Lake of Fire, knowing that there's no escape and it's forever? At least if you get life in prison here on earth, you know that death will free you; but in the Lake of Fire, it WILL NEVER END! Even after a TRILLION years, it won't even be the beginning! Are you really willing to chance that there's no Hell because comedian George Carlin doesn't think so? Are you really willing to chance that there's no Hell because some fornicating or homosexual college professor hates God and teaches youth that God doesn't exist (Romans 1:25,28)?
Jesse Ventura says that his religion is the same as George Carlin's. Jesse Ventura might as well curse God and shake his fist at Heaven above, which is exactly what Carlin did and is now burning in Hell forever. It's not a big laughing matter now to George Carlin!!! The man will burn forever, with no hope of anything good ever happening again. Is that what you want? My entire ministry online (see also Jesus-is-Savior.com and Soulwinning.info) is aimed at keeping you and others OUT OF HELL. I want you to be with me in Heaven with the righteous Lord, Who bore our sins on Calvary's tree so we could be with Him forever together (John 14:1-3), enjoying the splendors of everything good in this universe. Doesn't that sound great??? This is reality friend, and it can be yours FOR FREE, JUST FOR THE TAKING.
People get high on drugs and alcohol to escape life's problems, but the problems are still there when the drugs and alcohol wear off. I've never drank a drop of alcohol in my life and never plan to (by God's grace if I have any brains left). I've had waitresses occasionally tell me at a restaurant that a beer comes with my meal. I tell them instantly and firmly, I DON'T DRINK BEER! Give it to the Devil.
Today's Country and Rock music create a feeling of euphoria that in real life cannot be fulfilled. The music is bigger-than-life, just like Hollywood, which cannot be fulfilled in the sinful world. No wonder people are committing suicide! You CAN find fulfillment in the promises of God's Word. The rainbow testifies that God keeps His promises! The power of God rests in the PROMISES of God (2nd Peter 1:4).

Harvest Baptist Church Of Guam Mocks The Truth
Romans 12:17-21, “Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”
When I worked for the U.S. Postal Service in Chicago as a Technician (1993-2004), I had enemies at work. 2nd Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” One man in particular (Dave) hated me. He was a Roman Catholic, and also a Technician. Most of my harassments came from peers within my own craft. His sister was the principle of a Catholic school. This man instigated the other maintenance employees to avoid me. Group mentality is very common. We call it the herd mentality. People go by what they hear and always follow the group, unless they mature as I have to think for themselves and stand alone, which is rare these days.
Anyway, one night I was sitting in the breakroom at the end of the shift. I was sitting at a 8 foot folding table reading my pocket New Testament. Because of this one hateful man's slandering of me behind my back, as the other men entered into the room they chose to sit at the other table. There were two 8 foot folding tables in the break room. After a few minutes the other table had 8 men sitting around it. I was sitting alone, reading my Bible. I knew that they were all afraid to sit with me, lest the bully who was harassing me do the same to them perhaps.
You could feel the tension in the room. Then my enemy Dave said, to mock me, “Hey Smithy, isn't it great to have friends?” I quietly stood up, left the room, and cried in the hallway as I walked away.
Fast forward to 2014-2015 at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam. Pastor Marty Herron and the other pastors had mistreated me. I told THE TRUTH, but they rejected the truth. I showed them that the Westcott and Hort Bible revisions were corrupt. I showed them that Lordship Salvation is a false gospel. I showed them that Bible repentance for salvation does not mean turning away from a lifestyle of sinning. They rejected all of those truths! They are following the traditions of men instead of the Bible at Harvest, and they don't want to hear what I have to say. One of their pastors called Pastor Jack Hyles “a cult.” The senior pastor accused Brother Hyles of being aggressive in his preaching at Pastor's School.
One of their shameful pastors, Jared Baldwin, invited me to MacDonald's to talk. I gladly met with him, because my heart was still at Harvest, I loved their nurse Kris, and I missed my family. I couldn't believe what Jared said to degrade me. Just like my enemy Dave years earlier who said, “Hey Smithy, isn't it great to have friends?,” not Pastor Baldwin mocked me by sarcastically asking, “How's your beliefs working out for your social life?” What a monster! What a wicked thing to say. Since when are we supposed to decide our beliefs on the basis of having a social life? Dear reader, do you now see why I am so hard in my preaching against the fools at Harvest Baptist Church? Their pastors are all the same—COWARDS!!!
What a wicked attitude for a pastor to have, blaming a man's lack of social life because he is TELLING THE TRUTH! I'd rather have no friends then sell out to a bunch of Devil's lies like the pastors and congregation at Harvest Baptist Church of Guam. Shame on them all! Truth matters! Right doctrine matters! I have been standing alone all these many years since 2014, as Harvest's staff members and my neighbours mock me. Pastor Jack Hyles understood that sometimes we have to stand alone, and it cost us. I love Brother Hyles' classic sermon titled: 'When You Have Top Stand Alone.'
I went for a Dominoes pizza last night (it was great). As I always do, and always will, as I drove to go get my pizza I happily waved at my Harvest neighbours (church staff members) across the street, letting them know that I still love them. They were having some kind of get together last night. I do feel left out when they get together, being despised and not allowed to play in their reindeer games because of my bright glowing King James Bible only nose. I've always been a misfit my whole life. That is why I cannot find a wife, I am a loner. It's very difficult for me to meet women. Anyway, when I waved at them last night, they all gave me cold hard stares. If looks could kill, I'd be dead! They hate me. We are at war!
Abby hates me. I have poured out my heart to a young woman who is under the control of a cult at Harvest. God willing I plan to move by the end of this year. I don't think I could bear another Christmas without a church family. Harvest are so rotten, selfish and immature. All of them! If her pastor told her to climb and jump off a coconut tree, she'd go do it! Abby means everything to me, but she is so immature that she can't even bring herself to acknowledge me with a wave once a year. Something is wrong with that, for a Christian lady. Harvest controls people, like a cult does. In fact, that is the entire reason why I am writing all these articles about their church, because they tried to control me too, and I am NOT FOR SALE!!!
Our text passage from Romans 12:17-21 is one of my favorite promises from God to man in the Bible. I think about this verse often, to keep my head on straight. VENGEANCE IS THE LORD'S! It is NEVER right to seek revenge. I have not rendered evil for evil against Harvest since 2014; but rather, I have faithfully preached against them. Titus 1:10-13 exhorts Christian men to “rebuke them sharply” who preach lies that subvert entire families.
Interestingly, no one from Harvest or Bob Jones University has ever tried to rebuke or correct me. No one at Harvest, during the one year I attended in 2013-2014, ever witnessed to me. NO ONE! They didn't care if I was saved or not. I remember as a young boy tagging along with my Dad to the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. My father was a faithful Skid Row preacher for over 30 years. That is one of the driving influences behind my website ministry, growing up on Skid Row and seeing the horrific things that I saw day by day. Anyway, one day a gentleman named Jay Pierce witnessed to me at Pacific Garden Mission. Anybody familiar with PGM during the old days knows that Jay Pierce was a fervent soulwinner! He's up in Heaven now. I commend Jay for his godly wisdom and concern for me as a young man. I love that man for caring!
Likewise, I am making a fuss about THE TRUTH. I love Harvest Baptist Church of Guam so much. God has blessed them through my preaching. Not everyone gets a second chance! Just think about all the thousands of people, who would have gone to Hell following the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation, who will now go to Heaven because God used a humble broken sinner like me to PREACH THE TRUTH. I love you dear reader!!!
The Lord Himself Started The Hostile War Over The Bible
I ask again, why don't they care about me at Harvest? Why doesn't the Bob Jones crowd care enough about me to try to straighten me out doctrinally? Why don't they care if I go to Hell? That speaks volumes. Hey, have you ever seen anyone who uses the Devil's modern Bible revisions try to convince others why they should use them? I haven't. Only the King James Bible crowd care enough to warn others about the Devil's corruptible seed. In Genesis 3:15 the Bible says that God Himself started the raging battle between incorruptible seed and corruptible seed. Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
The Lord is addressing the sneaky serpent here. God said he would put enmity (Hebrews: eybah, hostility and hatred) between Satan's seed and the woman's seed. The Lord's seed is the eternally inspired Word of God (John 1:1-3, 14; Revelation 19:13). Luke 8:11, “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.” Satan's corruptible seed is a changed Bible. We see in Genesis 3:1 the first place in the Bible where the Devil corrupted God's Word, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” God never said that to Adam and Eve. In Genesis 2:16-17 God said they could freely eat of ALL the trees, except one, “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Do you see how Satan corrupted God's Words?
Throughout human civilization the GREAT BATTLE of mankind has been between God's Word and those people inspired by Satan who pervert God's Word. Romans 1:25, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” 2nd Corinthians 2:17, “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” Why do you think we have 900 English Bible translations today?
So remember friend, God Himself began the hostile enmity between the King James Bible only crowd, and the Bible of the month corrupting gang. Have you ever been in a restaurant and the person preparing your food accidently dropped some of it onto the floor? I have, multiple times. What do they always do? They either set the contaminated food aside or toss it into the garbage pail. That is required by law. I used to have a Food Manager's License. If someone intentionally (or unintentionally) serves a customer contaminated food, they can lose their license to serve food, be sued and even end up in prison if someone gets sick or dies.
A restaurant owner in Britain was sentenced to 6 years in prison when a customer, Paul Wilson, died from eating nuts in his dish and had an allergic reaction. This was the second customer who contracted fool born illness at one of the owner's multiple restaurants, because he didn't take the matter seriously. I find it greatly disturbing that the government and restaurant owners take the matter of food safety far more seriously than churches and pastors do. The food you eat can literally kill you! Likewise, the Bible you use can kill you spiritually. If you read and study from a contaminated Bible, you will contract spiritual food poisoning.
Rejection Always Hurts
There have been two great loves in my heart, regarding women, over the past 7 years. Sadly, I've never been able to as much as hold hands with either. I fell in love with the former nurse at Harvest Baptist Academy on Guam, Kris. She didn't want me, under pressure from her ungodly bosses (the pastors of Harvest) to shun me away. I wish she had felt different. My love for her has never changed, and she will always have a special place in my heart.
And there there is Abby, my wannabe wife. She despises me, refusing to even wave at me since 2019. Likewise, she will always have a special place in my heart, and my feelings have never changed toward her. I would gladly lay down my life and die for either of them, because I love them so dearly. You can decide who you love, but not whom you are in love with. The heart knows what the heart wants. All I have ever wanted is to marry a sweet gal and make every day of her life as happy as I can. The last thing I want is to marry someone and have her feel trapped. I have been taking care of myself for the past 15 years, so I am not looking for a maid. I want a best friend, lover and companion to have fun, serve God and make a life for each other. But I won't just marry anybody, she must ring my bell (i.e., chemistry). My bell must be broken though, because none of the women I want feel the same. Rejection hurts!
Lord willing, I will be moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana this summer. By the month of May the weather will be warm enough to move. I am still researching where I'd like to move. I so much want a wife. If I stay on Guam I will never find anyone. Harvest doesn't care. Abby hasn't shown the least interest. Kris is long gone back to the states. I am so lonely. The Lord is my tower and strength. Ephesians 2:14, “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;”
Abby is my sunshine when I see her, but I get so frustrated that she never waves at me. I guess she figures if she gives an inch I'll take a foot, and assume that she likes me too if she waves back. No, I would just think she is being friendly. To be cautious, I would only think she likes me if she stated so. I am a big stickler on respecting the opposite gender. When I attended Harvest I bought a 'How To Play Slack-key Guitar' book for a teenage girl in the church, because she played the guitar, but I gave it to her father to give to her, to avoid any wrong appearances (1st Thessalonians 5:22).
Anyway, even though Abby is a grown adult, I would never approach or contact her because she told me not to in 2017. I do love her, and wish we could become good friends, but she isn't interested. Furthermore, her ungodly pastors are blocking that from happening, banning me from attending church services at Harvest. God's judgment is upon them for their arrogance at Harvest, for pulling on the same rope as the Devil. Kindly said, they are corrupt theologically. As a true friend does, I am tying to sincerely help them, but they are too proud and haughty to heed THE TRUTH. This is not a matter of opposing opinions, as the Lord said in Genesis 3:15, this is about enmity (hostility) between Satan's corruptible seed and God's incorruptible seed. Proverb 27:6, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”
Dear reader, I live with a heavy, broken and sad heart because of the constant rejection by the Harvest Baptist Church of Guam. I am sad that I cannot find a wife. I am sad that Kris and Abby both ditched me, because their pastors threw me under the bus. They reject me at Harvest because they are Calvinists and I am not. I believe THE BIBLE, they don't. Like Jesus warned in Mark 7:9, “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” You cannot show me one verse in the King James Bible that teaches to “repent of your sin” or “turn from your sin” or “surrender your life to Christ” or “receive Jesus as your 'Lord'” to be saved. No, you cannot. Wicked men who are following the carnal nature have added these manmade requirements to God's free grace.
Anybody who denies being a Calvinist, while bidding Godspeed to Dr. Steve Pettit and Pastor John MacArthur, is woefully ignorant of their own beliefs. I oftentimes discover that members of Seventh-Day Adventism, Roman Catholicism and other false religions are clueless about what their own religion teaches. Go figure! That just goes to show that many people join a religious group for all the wrong reasons. Some join just to have a social club, or to please their spouse or family, or because they like the focus on good health at SDA. Many people join Harvest Baptist Church of Guam for their first-class music program. Many join because their children are enrolled into Harvest Baptist Academy.
BJU graduates are only there to make money, and will quit and abandon ship as soon as their employment contract expires. Everybody is exploiting the church for personal gain, taking what they want or need, and then when they have filled their pockets with spiritual loot, they'll flee like the serpent in Genesis. If they were a legitimate New Testament church, then they wouldn't block and ban hurting people like me from even attending church services. That is evil! Dr. Jack Hyles even allowed his enemies from the rotten Hammond Times to attend church, knowing that they were only there to look for things to criticize him for in their manure-spreading newspaper. But Brother Hyles loved them, and wanted EVERYBODY to hear the Holy Bible preached. People just want to be loved!
Acts 5:42, “And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” If Harvest's pastors were secure in their own preaching, confident that they are preaching THE TRUTH, then they would care enough about me as a human being, to want me to hear the preaching. But clearly they are insecure in what they are preaching, intimidated by my presence, unsure about the things they are teaching.
I would never join their church, because of their Calvinist beliefs, but if I want to attend services, and they refuse, what does that say about their pastors and church? It says they are big shots. It says they have some wealthy snobs controlling the church. It says their pastors are henpecked employees and not true Christian leaders. It clearly says Harvest is a religious group and not a New Testament church. I do not find anywhere in the Bible where pastors or a congregation have a right to throw people out of church who beg to attend, who are not living in open sin (1st Corinthians 5:1-5). I told THE TRUTH.
That either means that I told lies and Harvest's pastors are righteous in the matter; or else I told THE TRUTH and Harvest's pastors are guilty cult leaders under the judgment of an angry God (Romans 3:4). It all boils down to this—is Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation) the Gospel? Are the Devil's modern Bible versions acceptable to God? Does Bible repentance for salvation means to turn away from living a sinful lifestyle? I am alone without a wife, without friends, without a church family, with a pastor, all because I called harvest out on multiple heresies they are teaching.
Harvest's pastors also got upset with me for proving that Martin Luther was not born-again. Their pastors mocked me and drove out my family. Pastor Herron insisted, “Martin Luther was born again!” Oh really? Did you know that hellbound Roman Catholics actually cite Martin Luther's theology as proof that a person must be water baptized to go to Heaven? It is sadly true! How can this infidel be born again? Baptismal Regeneration is of the Devil. Today's pastors are so woefully ignorant. I say that with respect and love, truly. Harvest's pastors owe me a big apology. But I actually apologized to them in 2017, because I so desperately missed and needed my church family. I cast my pearl before the swine! They threw me under the bus.
Pastor Jared Baldwin wickedly mocked me, asking me how my beliefs were working out for my social life. What an evil and irresponsible thing to say. God will hold him accountable for those wicked words (Matthew 12:36). Pastor Joe Hanson sinfully degraded Pastor Jack Hyles, calling him “a cult” for exposing Brooke Westcott and Fenton Hort as heretics (the father's of all modern corrupt Bible translations). New senior pastor at Harvest since 2018, Gary Walton has sinfully completely ignored me. How many times do I have to go to their pastors and beg like a dog to attend church? Harvest has BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. All of them! They are proud and couldn't care less about truth, God, the Bible or hurting people like me. 1st Corinthians 16:24, “My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.”
