3740 SM100117 America Is Living In “Fairyland”- Imagination
A study of NT Greek and OT Hebrew, customs and culture of Israel, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome, the pagan origins of the Christmass and other "holydays / holidays", all for the purpose of understanding what the bible meant when it was originally spoken/written as opposed to what modern "preachers" and "christians" "think" it says; i.e. NO OPINIONS.
About Grace and Truth Ministries
Jim and Mary Brown
I have been preaching and teaching Bible for over 50 years. In 1957, I began studying the scriptures diligently after graduating from high school. In 1980, God began dealing with me, bringing me to what I believed was my deathbed in 1985.
In the hospital, I awoke near death crying out to God, "Lord, You are going to kill me if I don't quit living for myself and saying all the truth in my power!!!"
Thereafter, I began to say these blunt plain words that appeal to the elect sheep. As a result, I began to make more enemies than I could have ever imagined. I was sick and tired of the “mush” gospel that churches were preaching.
My family was confused, and on many occasions on the way home from church, my wife would say, "he said such-and-such last week and he said this-and-that this week contradicting what he said the previous week." I began to say to my wife Mary, "don't listen to the preacher, because he doesn't know what he’s talking about." Finally, I said, "this is a waste of time! We are going home. We are not going to these churches anymore. I will teach you from our home."
Twenty years ago, we started Grace and Truth Ministries which included my wife, son and one other young man. We started taping the sermons shortly thereafter. Grace and Truth Ministries is now meeting in a building located in Hendersonville, TN.
Last year, by the grace of God, we gave away approximately 25,000 DVDs free-of-charge.
We regularly add more television, radio and internet to get the truth to those who have ears to hear.
If you are located in a city that does not air our programs, please contact us so that we can let you know how you may help to get this message out to God's predestinated elect family.
We are adding new stations every month.
God Has Chosen
Romans 8:29-30 - "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Foreknow - to have a personal intimate relationship beforehand.
God predetermined that all who belonged to him before the foundation of the world were to "conform" to the word of God in obedience to Christ.
All that were predestined were "called", "justified", and "glorified" (past tense verbs). These were fixed in the mind of God before the world began. (Ephesians 1:4; Acts 13:48; II Thessalonians 2:13). The election of the saints is unto accountability (I Peter 1:2).
The majority of the protestant church held to this doctrine during the reformation. It is the foundation of "The London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689".
You Baptists are supposed to be believing it and you've discarded this precious doctrine of Grace !!!
No Free Will
John 1:13 - Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
James 1:18 - Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his
creatures.
Romans 9:15-16 - 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth,
but of God that sheweth mercy.
John 5:21 - For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he
will.
John 6:39 - And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose
nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
God Does All Things
Isaiah 46:10 - Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,
saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
Eccl. 3:14 - I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken
from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Ephesians 1:11 - In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose
of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will
