The Dietrich Bonhoeffer of Our Day

The spiritual sickness that Paul confronted in the Corinthian church is running rampant in America today.

"You have such admirable tolerance for impostors who rob your freedom, rip you off, steal you blind, put you down — even slap your face!” Listen, and listen good. DON'T BE LED AROUND BY "SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS" DISGUISED AS “ANGELS OF LIGHT” WHO INTENTIONALLY DECEIVE YOU FOR THEIR OWN GAIN. ~ The Apostle Paul to the so called Christians at Corinth - 2 Cor 11:15-21

Proverbs 1 condemns the simple minded man who cannot investigate a matter to find the truth. Proverbs 2 praises the man who works hard at finding the truth to a matter. If you are one of the 8 out of 10 Americans who call themselves Christian, act like one or stop making the claim for yourself.

Remember your Lord who stood before Pilate. He was asked, "Who are you?" Do you remember what He said? See John 18:37

1 John 2:6

"Thomas Are
reminds me
of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer:
an active
pastor who
comes to the
unsettling
realization
that he and
his people
have been
fed a
terrible lie
that is
killing and
torturing
thousands of
innocent
men, women
and
children.
Not without
ample
research and
prayer does
such a
pastor, in
turn, risk
unsettling
his
congregation.
The Reverend
Are has done
his homework
and, I
suspect, has
prayed often
and long
during the
writing of
this
courageous
book."

"What
Christians
Can Do,"
Rev. Are
writes: "We
cannot allow
others to
dictate our
thinking on
any subject,
especially
on anything
as important
as Christian
faithfulness,
which is
tested by an
attitude
towards
seeking
justice for
the
oppressed.
It's a
Christian's
duty to
know."
It is
paradoxical
that Israel
is
demonstrating
that
veracity
lies not in
the
Christian
belief in
good will
but in
Lenin's
doctrine
that
violence is
the
effective
force in
history and
that the
evangelical
Christian
Zionist
churches
agree.
