How & Why
I Have Gone Down the Road to Paul!

Some of you may have noticed that I have recently taken a strong liking to Paul and in what he calls, "His gospel."  I have come to see that it is so different than what I thought I understood over so many years. I now realize that I was not a Bible Believer - I was a Bible Teachings Believer.  God has opened up the Book to me as He has for many many others, I am sure.

I must say, though, some of the opposition I have received have been nothing but crude and rude emails from the KJB graduate crowd who appear to be trying to be like their spiritual hero! But that only saddens me because of what I think education has done to the minds of these folks who just want to learn right.

I know - apostasy must move in to the KJB churches, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept when all one has to do is throw out their brains and go back to the leading of the Holy Spirit directly from the King James Bible!

I have come to believe that more and more Bible Believing Christians and Pastors have become:
Oblivious to the Obvious!


Now, nobody has to believe anything I say just because I say it, etc. Not for a second do I expect anyone to give any credence to a pastor in a small church in Touchet, WA - especially after the international shellacking I took from PSR.

It's Simple
But I will tell anyone that this road is simple to see - it is all within the King James Bible itself.  Folks, this is not a deep scholarship issue - maybe that is the problem, eh!  Sometimes I think most educated institute trained pastors and missionaries haven't gotten over their education yet.  Is it possible that maybe they just can't get the obvious because of so much education.  Do folks honestly want to see the truth - even if it goes against their education?  Pride once again rears it ugly head!

The Moon
It must be similar to taking off for the moon and being only one degree off here but becoming a few million miles off when they near their destination.  Have there been so many years of education that some little fluky teachings have subtly blossomed into major errors that nobody sees because they went one degree at a time within the Bible Believing crowd?

Philadelphian Church
While I don't say a Bible education is unnecessary these days, I do know that early America did fine with circuit riders that could barely read.  The old Philadelphian Era must have been a great time of blessings from God!  They had LITTLE strength in those days and we see that God sure did step in and make things happen.

I am always interested in the Philadelphian church age.  While it wasn't perfect in doctrine, it was sure blessed by God.  Man couldn't even shut the doors that God opened.  Can you even imagine???  And there were no Bible colleges, etc and yet there were scores of people saved AND lives changed!

I have heard some preachers say that God is attracted to weakness.II Corinthians 12:10  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Early Acts church
Is it because we suddenly want to see our churches grow in number like they did in Acts chapter 2 that we are willing to forgo the obvious teachings from Paul?

Pauline Only?
Is it because some folks have gone too far with Pauline Epistles Only that ALL of it is now discredited?  That sounds like those who reject KJBOnlyism because some liar told them that PSR 'invented' it!


Help others See
Well, lest I lose some readers already, I will say that this sermon is not intended to offend any Bible School grads or pastors.  I preach this message today out of the honesty of my wicked and deceitful heart that has been changed by the presence of Jesus Christ and by my complete faith in His words in the King James Bible.  I am hoping & praying that the Holy Spirit will be able to guide more folks to the truth and will be able to give out the spiritual blessings that God wants them to have.

How and Why?
This sermon is about how and why I have gone down this road of Pauline Gospel vs the Gospel's Gospel in a comparison of what I call, "The Greater Commission vs the Great Commission!"

I will probably be put in the category along with Baptist Purgatory, No Hellers and all the Hyper folks.  Well, whatever - I just do hope you give this sermon at least one read through - and even better, listen to the audio!


Hard over internet!
I also would not be surprised that folks don't see what I have been preaching because: 1) I am not a splash and slash preacher.  I have no entertainment quality at all and  I have no personality to warrant respect and pastor worship that has become so prevalent in our KJB churches.  2)  It is hard to get the full gist of a sermon over a cassette, CD, MP3, computer screen and even by 'reading' a sermon!  Good people still miss the 'live' aspect of the Holy Spirit over the internet.  The nuances and the 'heart of the preacher' are easy to miss in recordings and written materials.

I would much rather sit at a table with a few burgers and a real chocolate malt and show folks the actual pages and verses - I get so tired of typing it all.

But like I said, it is all too simply obvious.  The conclusions that some folks have shown me in their responses to me show me that they are not getting the gist of what I am preaching... yet!


Facts and Questions That Need to be Asked:
HOW Did this all come about?

I.  This is all a result of believing the necessity of Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth while allowing partial  influence of the past.
    A.  I have read a lot of baptist history, but I didn't claim it as my final authority!  History isn't all 'baptist only!'
    B.  I have read much about the 'hero's' of the faith but I don't consider them my final authority!  They all had their doctrinal problems!
    C.  I have even read more than one commentary writer - surprised?  And even those are not my final authority!
    D.  I have visited & attended many churches, large and small all across the country.  Those were great times, but each one still has its problems & blessings!
    E.  I have read enough Civil War testimonies of Christian Soldiers to inspire me and challenge me as a soldier in a war that folks don't believe exists anymore.
    F.  I have read much on the martyrs of the past.  I don't want to see their sacrifice go down in vain in the  ministry God has allowe me to have!  There are those who died for this VERY BOOK!   For these words!  For these punctuations!  I can never forget that and I hope I never do!  I have this Book because of them!

II.  I have strongly considered the teachings, the sermons, the warnings and personal one on one conversations of...
    A.  Dr Modlish, Dr. Ruckman, Dr. Sam Gipp, Dr. Doug Stauffer, Dr. Jack Hyles, Dr. Gerald Sutek, David Cloud,  Missionaries Linton Smith & Drew Stewart; and pastors Mike Collingwood, Michael Matijevich, George Grace, Richard Jordan, Ray Keable & Thomas Mowery along with some personal rejection of certain Bible camps and pastors I thought were friends in the ministry.
    B.  I have observed their ministries over the past many years and certainly have made some interesting observations.
    C.  I have recently heard about a few 'returning' veteran missionaries and their comments about their shock and dismay at the condition of America's churches - and how they have changed so much since they departed for their foreign field many many years ago.

III.  I have no doubt - and nobody has to believe this but me - the leading of the Holy Spirit in this direction after watching how the Lord has guided this little church in S.E. Washington in the sermons and activities.  As God's gifts are unsearchable, Touchet's blessings are unexplainable other than to just give the Lord the glory!

IV.  I have seen:
    A.  Large churches 'change' their doctrine and methods in order to 'replace' the saved folks with 'seekers' and to be relevant for modern folks!

    B.  Small churches grow bigger by also changing their doctrine and methods - all for the sake of survival and bigger attendance and bank numbers.

    C.  Bible Believing Families Change...
        1.  as they try to be happier again - like they were before they got saved and started going to church!
        2.  as they try to be successful in earthly matters!
        3.  ...out of frustration and confusion!
        4.  ... because they still didn't understand the Book or the issues - (ignoring that they did little reading and study and had off and on church attendance, etc.)
        5.  ... because of not being able or even willing to try to apply what they did hear from the preaching and from what they did read!
        6.  ... try to rescue their kids who they had lost years before but only now have they now hurtfully come to realize something has been wrong for years - and that is isn't someone else's fault!

    D.  Watching the King James Bible Slide Downward in:..
        1.  Respect
        2.  Honour
        3.  Holiness
        4.  Use
        5.  Trust
        6.  As a real Final Authority
        7.  words lose out to 'images'

    E.  Watching and Listening to People (in live conversations as well as I am sure thousands over email and the website...)
        1.  ...starve from lack of feeding!
        2.  ...scatter from lack of feeding!
        3.  ...change personal and family standards from lack of feeding!
        4.  ... not be able to 'be' a true witness' let alone talk about one in their personal witness - because of a lack of feeding!
        5.  ... have their food changed from Bible emphasis to church, activity and program emphasis!
        6.  ...struggle to walk a holy walk as preached in the Great Commission world and then eventually give up!
        7.  ...in Great Commission churches lose their teens to the world even after they have been homeschooled and brought up with a KJB!
        8.  ...in Rightly Divided churches that live a lousy walk and abuse their grace and thus present a lousy testimony - and they know their Bibles well!  (that is not judging, just making an observation...)
        9.  ...not know how to use their sword, but not for a lack of trying or desire!
        10.  ... who have forgotten there is a spiritual war out there AND in here AND in them AND in their family!
        11.  ...to folks who have given up on their Bible as a sword, as a guide, as a comfort, etc.
        12.  ...who would just love to be able to something with their Bible but are too busy to make it happen!
        13.  ...who KNOW their Bible well but still do not understand rightly dividing and so they still live a life of bondage, misery and have no joy!
        14.  ... who actually put forth a false witness - and don't even know it - and certainly can't be told about it!
        15.  ... who have no peace from their Bible but instead try to get it from their church or their personal and prideful walk!
        16.  ... allow our rich and luxurious lifestyle in America choke the word - resulting in no fruit and no growth!
        17.  ... from watching parents who truly love their family and kids - and honestly want to teach them right and wrong, etc. - and yet are frustrated and sorrowful over the results so far.

    F.  From seeing church after church TAKE OVER the King James Bible
        1.  They eventually began to only 'use' it!
        2.  They eventually began to ignore it!
        3.  They eventually changed it!
        4.  They eventually replaced it with emphasis instead on their church, music, modern visuial methods, and humanistic psychology and philosophy in the shortened and sweetened sermons!

    G.  Seeing more and more of the new bible per-versions!
        1.  What they take out...
        2.  What & why they say what they say...
        3.  How folks would rather have the new ones...
        4.  How the teens and kids don't care either way these days about any bible!
        5.  How these versions make imitation churches, pastors, Christians, etc!
        6.  How they are obviously the spirit of antichrist!
        7.  How they not only affect a person's growth, but how they affect a persons salvation. Luke 8:11 and II Thessalonians 2:1-12 for starters...

    H.  Reading and Studying my church printed King James Bible that has no other study notes in the columns, etc.  Just the TEXT!
        1.  (That always shakes the Greek and Baptist graduates. It is called ...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God!!!
        2.  John 3:30  He must increase, but I must decrease.
        3.  The word of God actually does effectually worketh in them that believe and don't try to second guess God or change anything!

    I.  From the encouragement of the church folks who 'see it too!'
 

WHY Did this all come about?
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
I John 5:19
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Philippians 2:15

In this perverted wicked hurtful sorrowful stupid and senseless days of New Amerika...

I.  I want to help us common folks, as well as myself, seek and find that one-on-one two-way fellowship that Christ asks for in Revelation 3:20!

II.  I want to see common folks, as well as myself, grow in Knowledge, Understanding AND Wisdom from the Scriptures themselves - not just from a pastor, church or even from another book about the Bible through religion and Biblical Psychology Counseling - just from the Book!!

III.  I want to see common folks like you and me find the spiritual gifts that Paul wants us to have - and to find them in and through the Scriptures!

IV.  I want to see the church family - the brethren live a family like the Scriptures describe, define and assign to each member!

V.  I want to see the folks who have fallen away from the Scriptures turn and return to the Book and then get an understanding they obviously didn't have before!

VI.  I want to help the common folks like us use the King James Bible see what is truly going on in Amerika these days!
    A.  In the "growing and successful" looking churches and all the imitation that goes with them!
    B.  In 'Christian' Bookstores!
    C.  In Homeschooling homes!
    D.  In New Bibles!
    E.  In the Home!

VII.  I want to help folks, as well as myself, prepare for the next big event - the Judgment Seat of Christ!

VIII.  I want to xperience the joy that Paul had when he saw folks get ahold of God and how He works in us, with us, for us, and to us!

IX.  I want to help folks SETTLE doctrine in their lives - to give them confidence and security as well as boldness with their Bible!

X.  I want to see this Book - the Word of God GROW and PREVAIL for the final few folks interested and willing to allow it to do so!

XI.  I would like to see some young folks carry this King James Bible onward to their generation as they grow up to be adults - if the Lord tarries - and if they themselves are not saved when He comes, at least they would know the truth to preach and how to walk that walk during that most awful time of Earth's history!

XI.  Finally, but I am sure there are more reasons I haven't thought of now - but I want to leave my personal family the truth about this Book!  I want them to be able to understand as much as God would allow them to understand through my writings, my sermons and my conversations and studies in and about the King James Bible - MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE - including money, retirement, church, health, religion and successful living!  (That's good, because I have no money for them, I have no retirement, churches are dying everywhere, I am running down on health, I have no religion for them and I have not been very successful in living)


I heard recently from a friend who is a Bible college trained pastor who I trust is still a friend (which is more than I can for most of my past friends from the PBI crowd) tell me that he feels sorry for my family and for my grand kids.  " I feel for your daughter and son-in-law.  They will never find a comfortable church because there is no other church out there that believes as you do. I do feel for your grand kids because if they don't grow up in your house they'll be dissatisfied with church all their lives.

Well, that may be true someday - although I know that to be NOT true today!  There are plenty of churches that understand the Greater Commission - plenty - I am hearing from more all the time - even in his neck of the woods.  I am sorry that he feels sorry for my family!   But if my grandkids have nothing but a knowledge and an understanding of this King James Bible as their final authority in all matters of faith and practice - they will be able to have wisdom in what to do if they can't find that 'comfortable' church that pastors seem to think they need to have!  They will be able to get it directly from the Holy Spirit in that King James Bible!  The Bible is perfect, the church is not.  The Bible will not steer anyone down the wrong path - that is done by people all on their own. Unfortunately, more and more churches are shining the wrong light on the wrong path!

I hope that my grandkids will also have the opportunity to know how to please God in their walk
and that is more than I can say for most Christians and Pastors today!


The King James Bible is not a magical Book.  We must dig into it - we must understand it - and any understanding we get comes from Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit - but it only reaches us from within the King James Bible and that bible must be rightly divided to this very day!

It's the sword of the Spirit - and there still needs to be some division made today!
