CPS disowns statement – re Bible

This is welcome news though we believe that it does not indicate that such sentiments will not emerge again in the future when it is deemed by ‘the powers that be’ that the time for such a move against the Bible is apposite!

The Lord Jesus indicates clearly to us that the worldling has an undying hatred of His Word and will, when it is thought the time is right, ever seek to silence it.

He said to the  Pharisees: “I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you,” John 8:37. They hated the Living Word, the Lord Jesus and put Him to death and they and all of their ilk, would seek to silence the Written Word. “Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us,” Acts 5:28.

It is the Christian’s duty to ever defy such interdicts by the enemies of the gospel, though it is only by the Lord’s grace that this can be done.

This latest development in this controversy is most welcome and we say in response to it: “This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes,” Psalm 118:23.

I sincerely thank Baroness Hoey, an Ulster women who has sought to uphold the cause of Ulster time and again, for obtaining this response.

I am including a copy of an email I sent to Baroness Hoey, thanking her for her efforts. (more…)

The DUP’s shameful support for the evil perversions of today!!

It grieves me to pass on this picture which was just sent to me.

I understand the two DUP councillors referred to  are on the left in this picture. The picture is part of the publicity surrounding the announcement of the plans the sodomites have made for their 2023 ‘Festival’ in Belfast.

If these two men are not sodomites, they at least show ‘pride’ in the perverted behaviour of those engaged in this abominable lifestyle.

Their action blasts the notion that the party which once campaigned to “Save Ulster from Sodom” back in 1977, is still occupying that moral position!

The DUP has sold out on this issue as well as on many other matters. Some of the issues it has abandoned its former position upon had great constitutional and political importance.

However, none will carry the consequences that this betrayal of truth and righteousness will have.

This picture and the silence of the DUP leadership, indicates that the party has embraced and openly supports that which God abominates!

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination,” Leviticus 18:22.

Such defiance will bring repercussions on the party and ALL WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IT OR VOTE FOR IT!

Christians, particularly in the Free Presbyterian Church, who have continued to support and ally themselves with these (I use a good old Ulster term) Lundies, need to heed the words of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon,” Matthew 6:24.

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad,” Matthew 12:30.

Free Presbyterians who continue to support the DUP must realise that they are thus designating themselves as ‘despisers’ of God and being ‘against the Saviour’ and His cause!

Who is it that truly fears the Lord can for a moment contemplate continuing on such a course amongst company?

“For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory,” Isaiah 3:8.

The DUP once had the motto: — “The truth shall set you free”.

Henceforth it must be: —  “And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter,” Isaiah 59:14.

 

Sincerely in Christ’s name,

The snare gripping the nations today

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man,” Luke 21:34-36.

There is always something fresh in God’s Word, something not particularly noted before!

Yesterday morning I read Luke 21 as part of my daily Bible reading. I don’t believe I ever before noted the words of verse 35.

“For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”

This chapter deals with events about which the Saviour was warning His disciples to watch out for. He did so in response to what they were seeking to show Him. “And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,” verse 5. This is the parallel of Matthew 24:1. “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.”

The Saviour is quick to inform His disciples that that which they so admired would soon be utterly destroyed. That destruction took place in AD 70, when the Roman armies destroyed  the city of Jerusalem and the temple. Luke 21:2-24 deals with this period. Then the Saviour moves from AD 70 to the yet future times surrounding His second coming.

Many mistakenly believe that all the verses 2-28 relate to AD 70. However, we should carefully note the words of verse 24. “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (more…)
