A Challenge to all Believers
This ministry teaches the Word of God without the restraints of the customs of men, traditions of men, church protocols and rules. Only the Word of God is supreme in this ministry. These traditions and customs of men have harmed many saints of God because they have often built up a cult and culture of men and not of God.
If you think there is anything we teach that is unsound, contrary to the Word of God, not exact as to the teachings of Christ, we plead with you advise us, challenge us, disprove us, etc. We want to teach and rightly divide the Word of God without fear and the traditions of men.
Today, there is a cult of men that has crept into most to the churches; we have pledged ourselves to not be a part of the cult and culture of men. Christ is our savoir, not man; Christ is our Lord, so we preach Christ, not man or man's traditions.
If you have a minister who does not bear challenging concerning his teaching of the Word of God, look at that minister to see in what other areas he is weak.
We admonish you to come along with us as we study the Word of God. I assure you, we will say and write analyses you have not heard because most of our churches [Pentecostal, Holiness, Apostolic, etc.] we have gone vehemently against the Word of God.
Initially, these teachings will offend you because I speak truths of God that defy man's traditional way of seeing things and possibly your preacher's way of preaching things. But the entrance of God's word always brings light and light always dispels darkness. The word of God always has that effect on those who have not really known the truth. But I beg that you continue reading, studying, and compare what I teach with scripture to see if it is true or if your minister/tradition is true. Remember, that God's word and it alone is right! It is up to us to, as Paul says, "Rightly divide the word of truth."
The very notion of "Rightly Dividing the word...." indicates that to correctly interpret what God is saying to his people, the whole word of God has to be divided. Not all of it is for us to do. But all of it is for us to learn by. The worker of God who need not be ashamed is one who can carefully and divinely interprets God's word to divide between the doing part and the learning part.
That is what this ministry does. It is not my intention to make enemies by speaking the truth, but Martin Luther said it years ago, as he stood against the errors of teachings and practices of the mighty Roman Catholic Church: "Here I stand, I can do no other!"
I am bound by God to speak the truth of God. For you see, one day God opened my understanding that I might understand the scriptures. Since then I have been studying to have an open understanding in all his word. For the scripture says, Luke 24:45, "Then opened he their understanding that they MIGHT...." The word might is a word that indicates a contingency; such and such could happen, depending on other factors. In this case, "might" turns on whether one devotes himself to God and a study of God's word.
God opens the understanding of some and they then must put in the work of study to clarify their understanding of the specifics of scriptures. We have well seen that not too many of those in the ministry have an understanding in scripture. That could be the result of two factors: Their understanding has never been opened by God (either through one who has an open understanding or by God directly opening it) or they have not seen the contingency of "might" and therefore never put in the time and devotion to give themselves to a real study of God's word.
Again, for emphasis, understanding the scripture for those who have an open understanding is contingent upon whether one devotes himself to a study of God's word sufficiently to get an understanding. So, please do not blame me because you may not have heard God's correctly divided word until now.
