    Racism is SIN!

    #Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

    #1Samuel 16:7c the LORD looketh on the heart.

    #Acts 10:34 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

    #Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

    Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth

    #James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

  • This is 1 of many reasons I now at this stage of my life will not fellowship with many who name the Name of Jesus Christ, they did not stop this!
    #2Timothy 2:19 #kjv #kingjamesbible
    “Nevertheless the foundation of #God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

    Where were the #Christians in 1954 when this happened? The Christians could of in 1954 put a stop to this! The Christians gave into Tyranny! They disobeyed #Romans 13:1 which for the United States is #WeThePeople.

    I am an independent, unaffiliated, unorganized, unincorporated, nondenominational, non-501(c)(3), Bible Believer and is not a non-profit organization (#NPO) or association and, therefore, is NOT tax-exempt.

    Before 1954, churches were recognized by the state as being spiritual entities belonging to God and were, therefore, tax-immune. (Taxes are immoral and the Tyranny on that started in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve). In 1954 during the Presidency of Dwight David Eisenhower (this could of been Impeachment for High Crimes and Misdemeanors), churches were brought under the IRC 501(c)(3), which made them NPOs. This means that NPO churches are creatures of the state, hence, they are not tax-immune, but tax exempt. In other words, the state claims that they owe taxes to the state, but the state is granting them an exemption due to their non-profit status; a privilege that can be revoked.
    You see, along with the "privilege" of being tax-exempt comes rules and restrictions as to what the NPO can and cannot say and do. This is a major reason why modern "churches" will not get involved in the affairs of state: They are afraid of violating a restriction of their NPO status and, thus, endanger their tax-exemption.
    Accordingly, I, Yours Truly is not organized as an IRS-defined "church." I have no boards or committees, no membership roll, no ownership of property, no denominational ties or by-laws. This means there are no NPO-related restrictions upon my preaching or political activities or upon my church as a private fellowship. 70 Years later the professed church has become apostate as so went the rest of the nation!

  • ”For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭
    We believe the church of Jesus Christ needs to present the gospel to Jewish folks that they maybe saved. Like the early church did. And we reject false conspiracy theories against Jewish folks spread by white supremacists and Muslims.

  • Pro-LGBTQQIAAP2S+ Catholics Cheer Cave on blessings for same-sex couples
    ‘Early Christmas Gift’ from Woke Pope

    1 Corinthians 6:9,10... Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

    Romans 1:27, 31....And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful

    Jude 1:7.....In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

  • Explaining The Taylor Swift/Inanna Phenomenon;TAYLOR SWIFT OPENLY SPEAKS OF DEMONS DIRECTING HER-THE RISE OF GODDESS WORSHIP BEFORE THE WORLDS EYES!

    I’ve been trying to put my finger on the Taylor Swift phenomenon for some time now. Evidently people pay obscene amounts of money to see her, and she is breaking world records on her latest tour. By all accounts (well, not quite all) it’s worth seeing, as Miss Swift parades out on the stage in outfit after outfit and dazzles swarms of people with a show like Superbowl halftime on crack. What’s going on here really, though? In ancient Babylonian mythology, the goddess Inanna gets kicked out of the Babylonians’ version of the Garden of Eden, then returns to exact her revenge on its inhabitants and their god. For a brief time, Inanna was the chief goddess of the pantheon. When King Sargon the Akkadian appointed his daughter high priestess over the first Mesopotamian empire, she dedicated herself to the glories of Inanna. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly this included a lot of ritual sex. Inanna was the sex goddess not only of Babylon, but all the world. The Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and pretty much everyone else recognized that they all worshiped this same goddess, though she had different names and slightly different origin stories depending on the culture. She was Aphrodite, Venus, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Isis, Lillith, and a host of other names. Yet everyone saw that she was really just the one spirit of illicit sex. Moderns don’t believe in spirits, demons, and goddesses — officially at least. We still have our myths about them, though, like Peter Pan’s Tinkerbell, the sexy fairy. Even in the 1950s Disney cartoon, Tinkerbell’s miniskirt is always just about ready to get hiked up too far. She cannot tolerate Peter’s interest in a sensible girl like Wendy. She would rather kill Wendy, in fact, than give up Peter to the pleasantries of a family life and devoted love in the bonds of marriage. Tinkerbell is one of the best pictures of Astarte in recent years, who comes to bring her flirtatious delights, stays to keep men in a state of perpetual adolescence, and would (if she could) kill the women who might possibly make us into men. I finally realized while listening to “Anti-hero” that she is the embodiment of the ancient goddess Astarte. But I was talking about Taylor Swift, or maybe I have been all this time

One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, 'Now Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God'. I had closed my Bible, and prayed for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since.

  • As Warned By Donna Howell and Allie Anderson in the book DARK COVENANT: WE ARE RE-PAGANIZING

    To mention abortion and infanticide in the same breath is a provocation. A majority of voters in Britain and America regard abortion as permissible in some circumstances, whereas very few are willing to say the same of infanticide (with some notable exceptions, as we will see). But this distinction has not been made by all peoples at all times. The anthropologist David F. Lancy describes the “far more common pattern”: Among the ancient Greeks and Romans sickly, unattractive, or unwanted infants were “exposed” or otherwise eliminated; the Chinese and Hindus of India have, since time immemorial, destroyed daughters at birth, to open the way for a new pregnancy and a more desirable male offspring; the Japanese likened infanticide to thinning the rice plants in their paddies; among foragers such as the Inuit or the Jivaro, unwanted babies were left to nature to claim. Modern technologies such as ultrasound allow us to identify undesirable characteristics (for instance, female sex or Down syndrome) earlier than our ancestors could, but the most common reasons given by women seeking abortions today—poverty, fetal disability, and simple unwantedness—were the same reasons given by mothers and fathers who killed their newborn infants in other times and places. Historical and anthropological accuracy therefore demands that we plot the acts of abortion and infanticide on a chronological continuum since they have typically been performed for the same reasons and have been permitted in accordance with the same moral calculus. It was the arrival of Christianity that disrupted the Romans’ favored methods of keeping reproduction in check, with laws against infanticide, and then abortion, imposed by Christian emperors from the late fourth century
