The Democratic Party in the US has since lurched in a very leftwards slide since then, as has our Labour Party here in Britain, though not without controversy.

The other fascinating and confusing thing is that the colours are opposite on the two different sides of the Atlantic. In Britain red is for Sociakism, the Labour Party and blue is for the Conservatives. In the US, red is for the “Conservative” Republicans (though like our Conservative Party here they seem to be gearing somewhat to the left), and blue is for the Democrats, who are indeed going through a sharp Socialistic revolution).

It matters not whether they use cremation, or have a full blown burial service, they are still profiting from this wicked and devilish trade.

It does show how quickly error spread into the early church, even while some of the apostles were still alive.

Any church must have a solid statement of faith, and a proper legally drawn up constitution with a plural eldership, to which pastors, who are also elders are accountable, and there must also be recourse to the whole church membership, when very major decisions, such as the disposal of the building, or major building projects are to be made. All new pastors would have to be in full agreement with both the statement of faith and the constitution of the church, and the oversight of the plural elders before they could be appointed.

Abortionists ( and euthanasia doctors) may not necessarily bow down before hideous statues or pictures, attend a temple with riotous feasts, and literally put a baby on a literal altar in the arms of a literal idol with a literal fire in its belly, and they may even be atheistical, but they are indeed continuing the legacy of the ancient priests and priestesses of Baal, Ashtoreth, Chemosh, Molech and the other Canaanite and Babylonian gods and goddesses that demanded such sacrifice.

Their zeal for their cause, aided by their political, media, academic and liberal “religious” allies is actually very like a zealous “faith”, and has a false religious element to it.

However, we are told firmly that the Word of the Lord will endure for ever, and our Lord Himself, and the Apostles quoted exclusively from the Old Testament, which was the Bible in their day.

In some ways this is much worse than if your son had actually died (that is in the Lord), as we would know where he had gone. This however is a deception of the enemy who has taken your son and sought to twist him into some new person that he isn’t.

I really pray that this man will be delivered from his demonic deception. It does tragically seem as if somehow he was got at by agents of the enemy who engineered his temporary disappearance until he could “come out” in his new deception.

May God richly bless you and your wife and family, as well as your son’s wife and family.

6). The fallen pastor should not just allowed to get away with it in retirement, but should be formally excommunicated.

2). To be truly scriptural all women should be removed from any kind of leadership as pastors, elders or deacons, though women can be used in a variety of other ways, and are useful for safeguarding purposes for ministry to little children and women, though should be responsible to the male eldership.

3). The eldership should be truly plural, and pastors, who, of course are also elders should be fully responsible and accountable to the other elders.

It was good that the two new senior pastors and the whole board of elders resigned.

I deplore what this man did, of course, and apparently the imam of the mosque did rescue this man from immediate murder at the hands of his congregation until the police arrived and were able to arrest the anti-Muslim extremist for murder, and the imam became quite a hero.

He has now published an article in a leading newspaper condemning “Islamophobia”, and demanding the government do more to oppose it, and stressing of course, “the peaceful nature of Islam”.

However, as born again Christians, we should hate the actual religion of Islam for what it does to people, and the deception that it causes, and recognise that while many individual Muslims wish to live a quiet life, and genuinely live at peace with their neighbours, they are not actually following their religion faithfully, if that is the case.

The Toronto imam actually let the cat out of the bag, as he obviously believed and preached what real Islam teaches.

In this mad world, it is increasingly clear that a medical professional who states what was obvious for thousands of years that gender cannot be changed, that unnecessarily drugging and medication of adults, and even more particularly children, and surgery that takes away perfectly healthy body parts, or medical suppression of natural bodily functions such as puberty is abusive, is going to be disciplined and removed from the profession that he or she loves and serves so well.

In any case good solid plural eldership and full accountability of pastors would have prevented this whole unseemly situation.

All born again Christians have two citizenships, or 3 in the case of dual nationals of 2 worldly countries. We are to Pray for our secular leaders, pay our taxes, obey those laws that are not opposed to our faith and God’s Word, and we should not take up arms in rebellion against our government.

However, we have a higher citizenship, that of our Lord, Saviour, Priest and King, the Lord Jesus Christ, based in Heaven, and that is our higher loyalty. Our churches should reflect that, and we are not there to promote a particular secular state, but the Lord Jesus Christ, and His and Our Heavenly Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us.

I also believe that there has been a very mechanistic Finney-style “salvation” process of altar calls, walking the aisle and 14 year old church member’s children almost automatically “making a decision” and being baptised as “believers”, and then promptly rebelling against the faith in the upper reaches of high school or in college or university when exposed to Lineralism and evolutionary theory.

The Orthodox Jews also hate it and have threatened violence to disrupt the parades at Tel Aviv and particularly in Jerusalem.

Paul the Apostle made it quite clear that God is going to deal with the Jewish root, as well as the Gentile branches grafted on, in Romans 9 to 11, and he also said that the Gospel was to be preached to the Jew first, and then to the Gentile, and that should be the pattern today.
