It shouldn't need to be said that because God's book quotes Satan, it doesn't mean that He agrees with his thinking or actions on everything. A few, thinking to glorify themselves, have criticized me for quoting certain Christians with whom I do not even agree on other issues. These hypocrites do not apply this same rule to themselves when they quote the national news or other lost or confused sources. For instance, I found the book "The Bible Code" to be a source of true information, even though that information is sometimes misinterpreted and even though the writer does not believe in the God Who encoded His own Word.

I offer to you information here and it is your job to discern it. I should not be judged for what I have NOT said but what I have said. In every case these people have disobeyed our Lord's commands to their own judgment. {1 Tim.5:19} Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses. We are to receive no accusation unless we have two or three reputable witnesses who SAW the elder commit sin. This is not hearsay found on the Internet or books for which Peter would be condemned for being the first pope; Jesus would be found guilty for being a homosexual winebibber Who faked His own death. According to these people we would be wrong for quoting such people.

We would be guilty by association as the Pharisees did to Jesus, saying that He sinned because He ate with publicans and sinners or was touched by one who had been a harlot, even though Jesus did not agree with any of the sins and was not guilty of them Himself. The modern Pharisees still do this. If they disagree with you on any subject, they search your site to see who they can dig up dirt on and then apply that dirt to the righteous. These are wicked people in every case. Disagreeing with the Pharisees is not a sin. Our Lord commanded us to not judge one another over differences of doctrine. {Rom.14:1} But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not for decision of scruples. {2} One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. {3} Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. {4} Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.... 10} But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. One thing Pharisees don't do is apply the scriptures to themselves; they are always for someone else.

According to these self-righteous people, if anyone ever did anything wrong in their life, we can't quote them or we are guilty of their sin. Nevermind that this person may have repented long ago or was only guilty by Internet lies. In one case a woman was attacked by her contemporaries because she was a prophetess living among non-full gospel people, like Jesus and the disciples among the Pharisees, and was assailed by these apostates as a witch by association. If we can't quote anyone who has done wrong you Pharisees had better rip the Psalms of David out of your Bible. He was at one time an adulterer and murderer whom God decided to give us scriptures through. You Pharisees better rip Proverbs out, too. Solomon fell away from The Lord because of his riches and all his heathen wives and never came back to The Lord. Tear Moses out because he didn't honor God when he smote the rock and so wasn't allowed into the Promised Land. By the way, I have served the Lord faithfully for over three decades by His grace and done none of the immorality of these brethren, and yet these Pharisees assail me. Of course we have a perfect numeric pattern in these men's writings showing that only God wrote them. God is big enough that He can use imperfect people to write perfect scriptures. My concern is that the scriptures are right, not that these men were always right. And so it is with people we quote -- the teaching, prophecy or dream should have some redeeming value even if they prophesy in part.

These "perverted" people seek only to draw aside disciples after themselves by assaulting others, making themselves big at another's expense. This is the spirit of "faction" and is behind denominationalism. The Greek word for faction is "Erithia" which means seeking to separate followers through selfish ambition. The root word is "Erithos", meaning a hireling. They are bought out by their lusts and jealousy to do evil. {Jas.3:13} Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. {14} But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. {15} This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. {16} For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. {Tit.3:10} A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; {11} knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned. This is clear that we are to separate from factious people, not those at whom they rail. {Rom.16:17} Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. {18} For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

If these people come to you to make you sin by accepting an accusation without witnesses, tell them to obey the word and go first "alone" to the one they accuse. {Mt.18:15} And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. {16} But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established. {17} And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. These wicked people always skip the first two commands here and go to the third because they seek the glory of man and not God. These commands of The Lord are to make sure no gossiper or factious person could destroy the peace of an assembly. Another reason is that if a man had repented of evil or there were extenuating circumstances the accuser would find this out and not be found a gossiper by God.

We have even been assaulted by men who use nicknames and pseudonyms to hide their identity, like cockroaches hiding in the dark. They know that if they in turn were searched out they would be found to be sinners. {Ps.64:2} Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity; {3} Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words, {4} That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. {5} They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them? {6} They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. {7} But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded. {8} So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head. You will notice that these "evil doers" "diligently" "search out iniquities" in others like the Pharisees that they are but they like to hide their identities and their own sins in darkness. In scriptures and even in carnal law the accused has a right to FACE his accusers and are commanded to "go, show him his fault between thee and him alone".

Those who seek their own will do not understand that it is also more helpful to light a candle than to pompously curse the darkness.
