Whistler Blowers, Insiders
Here’s some lies in the bible that never get discussed:
PHILPPIANS 3:4-7 where Paul says HE KEPT ALL OF GOD’S LAW IN HIS DEEDS BUT VOLUNTARILY GAVE UP DOING SAME, but in Romans 7:23 he pleads law of sin that prevents him from keeping God’s law in his deeds and forcing him to be a PRACTITIONER OF EVIL (Romans 7:19).
The Chrsitians might want to discuss HOW COULD PAUL HAVE KEPT ALL OF GOD’S LAW IN HIS DEEDS when:
1) the Lord syas PHARISEES ARE OF SATAN
2) Pharsiee Paul says no flesh can keep God’s law because all flesh is captive to the so-called law of sin
The evil Chrsitians leaders wax on stuipidly oN PAUL’S ALLEGED INDWELLING OF SIN in all flesh apparently BLIND to the FACT THEIR MASTER PAUL SAYS:
As touching the law I AM A PHARISEE; AS TOUCHING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS THE LAW, I AM BLAMELESS (Philppians 3:6)
Might ask in the pupit WHY DOES PHARISEE PAUL HATE ON GOD’S TEMPLE SERVANTS?:
Rev. 11:1-2 Measure the Temple and thsoe that worship therein but do not measure without for it is giving to the GENTILES who shall TRAMPLE the holy city for 42 months
The reign of the Beast is for 42 months, the Beast is the 8th pope king (Rev. 17:10-11) and the Gentiles shall be with him HATING ON THE GOOD JEWS (Rev. 11:1-2).
PAUL HATES JEWS, as do all Jew Pharisees murderers of God’s prophets (Matthew 23:31-32), as said by the JEWS OF ASIA (Acts 21:27-30, a lying book of Pharisees with some truth in it).
And dog Paul sends his dog converts against Jews – Romans 11:28 JEWS ARE THE ENEMY OF SALVATION
Might want to heed the Son of God, Chrsitians: SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS (jOHN 4:22).
This is the fate of Paul converts – see Matthew 7:22-23 – their fate is the everlasting lake of fire upon being told by the Son of God that HE NEVER KNEW THEM (Matthew 25:41), and he calls them workers of lawlessness just what their master Paul preaches: NO MORE LAW OF GOD, GRACE (Romans 6:14). The Son of God says BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO GOD’S COMMANDMENTS (Rev. 22:14).
HEBREWS 13:10 We [Christians] have an altar that those who serve God’s Temple HAVE NO RIGHT TO EAT AT
No servant of God’s Temple would bow knee to any of the filthy unholy church altars estabslihed by men of Satan Pharisees for the Gentiles. But there we see wolf Jew Paul hating on Temple servants, whereas the Son of God DOES NOT HATE THEM:
Rev. 11:1-2 … MEASURE THE TEMPLE AND THOSE THAT WORSHIP THEREIN, BUT WITHOUT DO NOT MEASURE FOR IT IT IS GVEN TO THE GENTILES AND THEY SHALL TRAMPLE THE HOLY CITY FOR FORTY TWO MONTHS
Paul the wolf does NOT measure the servants of God’s Temple, he FORBIDS them to be at church altars.
THE SON OF GOD MEASURES THE SERVANTS OF GOD’S TEMPLE
Paul is anti-Christ (1 John 2:18) and his converts, including the man preacher mentioned in the article, are anti-Christs. And the anti-Christs are filled with the Spirit of Anti-Christ (1 John 4:3). The Dean of CBN divinity school said barking like a dog among Christians is “godly hysteria”, but what it really is is a a manifesation of the Anti-Christ Spirit causing his own dogs to bark like dogs. The Christian Paul converts are DOGS, they are twice the children of Hell than Pharisees (Matthew 23:15).
