Dear Darlene,

Thank you for visiting my website and submitting your comments and concerns in your emails. I pray that my Holy Father in heaven grant you a fuller understanding of His Holy Word. I answer your comments and concerns in this context.

Your comments:

(1st and 2nd emails): I was feeling you on tithe and offering now about Women and the churches i can't stand to hear you speak against women like that although it's being quoted from the Bible. God said "He'll pour out His spirit upon all flesh that ye may receive Him. I think you are anti-christ

(3rd email): Why don't you mention Jesus as the "Son" you most of the time quote as "Christ"

My Response(s): Now, I find it strange, yet it is not strange that you want to agree with my teaching on tithing but you refuse to even hear my teaching concerning women and the Church of the Living God. You know I have found in my time that some people are okay with you as long as your teaching agree with their own private beliefs but if you have any difference in their own private interpretation of the Holy Scripture then they refuse to even hear anything you may teach (2 Tim. 4:3-4). I mean, let me ask you, are all those who disagree with yourself on tithing also referred to as "antichrists” by you?

You say I speak against women, in what way you do not clearly say, my guess is you which for women to teach in the Church of the Living God. Now, I suspect you are talking about my article on "Jezebel" which have Holy Scriptures interpreting my teachings and I list these Scriptures backup which you yourself acknowledge, yet you still refuse to accept it. You seem to partial quote a Scripture without giving the verse, however if you are referring to what happens in Acts 2 on the “Day of Pentecost” when God poured out His Holy Spirit on the first 120 followers of the Way of Christ Jesus then you and the world are mistaken in your private interpretation of these verses. For the world would have you to believe that these verses granted women the authority to teach in the churches of the Saints of God, however these verses are unrelated to the order of authority in the Church of the Living God. Yes, the Holy Scripture is clear on the authority of men in the churches of the saints of God (1 Cor. 11:3).

Now, you also questioned whether or not I am an “antichrist” because of this one aspect of my teaching on women in the churches of the saints of God. Again, you do not list what Scripture makes me the “antichrist” but I guess you are referring to 1 John 4:2. And again, you are mistaken with your own private interpretation of the Holy Scriptures you seem to be quoting as to why you believe I should refer to Christ Jesus as the Son of the Living God more often than I do on my websites. First, if you think a person that says Jesus is the Son of God must be from God then you are mistaken because a person just saying Christ is the Son of God does not prove that someone isn’t an “antichrist”. I mean there are many false teachers and prophets and prophetess out there claiming Christ is Lord and Son of God but they are still “antichrists”. Besides you yourself say “most” of the time I use “Christ”, this implies that you see on my websites that I do refer to Christ as the Son of God. But, you having to justify your calling me an “antichrist” used this to justify it.

However, when you read Scripture you must read it in the proper context, in 1 John 4:2-3 it says, “By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world” (NKJV). These verses must be read in context with 1 John 3:24 and 4:1-6 to more fully understand what is being said in this Scripture. For it clear from these verses that the Scripture is saying, we should “test the spirits” to see if they are from God or not. This means if there are spirits (thoughts in your mind trying to lead you astray) then you must determine if they are from God. And you determine if these “spirits” are promoting spiritual things from God by their confessions concerning the Spirit of God living inside of your flesh and blood body because God gave His Spirit to us for this purpose to test the “spirits” (1 John 3:24). Whether these “spirits” we must test are promoting something spiritual without acknowledging the power of God that lives in us, if indeed we are the children of God (Rom. 8:9). And these verses further say, the Spirit inside of the believer “is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4 NIV). This means that the spirit in the world have been overcome by the Spirit of God which lives in the children of God; and we as children of God have overcome these spirits. Yes, this further means that the world listens to these “spirits” for they “speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them” (1 John 4:5 NIV).

Therefore, I exhort you to do as the Bereans did after hearing a teaching or preaching message, that is “they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see” if what was said is true (Acts 17:11 NIV). For it is also clear from the Scripture, that those who profess to be from God should listen to sound doctrine and “whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood” (1 John 4:6 NIV). This mean if we are speaking sound doctrine then you should listen to what we are saying to you. For the world will not hear what we are saying, the world accepts its own and refuse to listen to sound doctrine seeking teachers that agree with their own private interpretations. Again, I pray that my Holy and Righteous Father in heaven grant you and your household understanding in His Holy Word. Amen. Praise God.

In Christ Jesus Love,
