 Thoughts on the Christian Life By Robert Tuttle For many people, life as a Christian revolves around their local church. Sunday school, Sunday morning worship service, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening. Or at least some combination of these. This is their Christian life. Oh, to be sure they may see someone from church during the week, but by and large their Christian fellowship consists of those 3-4 hours per week when they are actually in the church building with other church members doing church things. While there is nothing wrong with this, and, in fact, is to be encouraged; what is wrong is that for some this is the sum total of their Christian experience. God’s word paints a very different picture of what the Christian life is to look like. For example, Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us not only are we to assemble together (which most Christians do at least once a week), but also we are to “consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.” “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV) But what does it mean to “consider one another”? As we all (should) know, the key to understanding Scripture, is Scripture itself. In other words, Scripture interprets and explains Scripture. In this case, we can turn to passages like Galatians 6:2 which reads, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” And Ephesians 4:2, which reads, “with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,” And Colossians 3:13, “bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” And, finally, Philippians 2:3-4, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Do you see the overriding principle here? Christians are to bear with one another, looking out for the needs of other Christians, grieving with them when they grieve, happy with them when they are happy, bearing their burdens with them. This is part and parcel of what it means to be a Christian. To be clear, we do not do these things in order to be saved (which would be a works based salvation), but rather we do them because we are saved. We are talking about the fruit of salvation, not the root of it. And remember what Jesus said, we will be known by our fruit (Matthew 7:15-20). That this same teaching is repeated over and over again throughout Scripture (such as in 1 Peter 4:8-10; 1 John 3:17-18; 1 Corinthians 12:24-27) demonstrates the importance of this teaching. In fact, it is an extension – if not the foundation – of the second greatest commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:35–40; Mark 12:28–34; Luke 10:27). For how can we love our neighbor if we do not love one another? And it was Jesus who said that our love for other Christians would be a defining characteristic of Christianity: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 NKJV) When we examine the early Church, the first Christians, we see that they put this into practice as they actively bore each other’s burdens. “42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:42-47 NKJV) and, “32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. 36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” (Acts 4:32-37 NKJV) Each one of them cared for the needs of the others. No one thought of him or herself first, no one was elevated to a position of favor, and each one was treated equally (1 Corinthians 12:25); and everyone was cheerfully caring for each other out of what they had. Well, almost everyone. Most Christians are familiar with Ananias and his wife Sapphira, who made much of their care for others, while secretly placing themselves above the others (Acts 5:1-11). It did not end well for them. And, as Peter makes very clear in this passage, there is no requirement that we must relinquish all we have in order to fill each other’s needs, especially to our own detriment. What it does mean, however, is that if we say we are going to care for others (as all Christians should be ready, willing, and thankful to do), then we should simply do it. Not say one thing and do another as Ananias and Sapphira did. “For how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1 NKJV) This communality of the Church is an essential aspect of the Christian life, and one every Christian should take very seriously, especially in light of Matthew 25:31–46, paying particular attention to verses 41-46, “41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” “inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.”
For those who do not care about or for others in the Church; for those who ignore the needs of their Christian brothers and sisters, for those who don’t visit or call or otherwise check on the well-being of their Christian brothers and sisters, these should be terrifying words indeed.  DOCTRINES OF GRACE – CATEGORIZED SCRIPTURE LIST
by Nathan Pitchford Courtesy of Monergism.com God has recently given us the opportunity to discuss some theological issues with other Christians who believe differently than we do on a number of points, most notably the doctrines of grace. In such a circumstance, given the overwhelming supply of scriptural evidence that comes to bear on the topic, it seemed to me that the best approach would be a simple categorized scripture list: the fact that the entire paper would be scriptures, with the exception of a few brief explanatory notes, would underscore the truth that this is God's own word and teaching; and the fact that it would be categorized would facilitate the ready comparison of scripture with scripture so as to lead one to a full-orbed understanding of the biblical teaching. Although I found a few good scripture lists of that nature available online, none of them was laid out in quite the progression that I was looking for, and so I developed my own. I'm posting it here with just the scripture references. Below, for your convenience I have provided a condensed version and a full version of the study.

1Ch 29:11-12 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 2Ch 20:6 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Psa 22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
1Sa 2:6-8 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. Job 9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? Job 12:6-10 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Psa 33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Psa 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Psa 135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. Isa 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Act 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Eph 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:
1Ki 22:20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead?...1Ki 22:34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. ...1Ki 22:37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Exo 4:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. Jdg 14:1-4 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. Psa 76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Pro 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Isa 44:28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. Amo 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Act 2:22-23 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Act 4:27-28 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
1Ki 22:19-23 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee. 1Ch 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel./2Sa 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Phi 2:12-13 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Psa 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
1Ki 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. Psa 29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. Jer 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD. Eze 32:4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. Dan 6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Psa 104:5-10 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. Psa 104:13-14 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; Psa 104:19-20 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. Mar 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Isa 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Isa 45:9-10 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? Mat 20:1-16 [Parable of the laborers of the vineyard] Rom 9:19-24 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Deu 7:6-8 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deu 10:14-15 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Psa 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Isa 43:20-21 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Act 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Rom 8:28-30 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 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. Rom 9:10-24 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For 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. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Rom 11:5-7 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Eph 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Eph 1:11-12 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: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 1Th 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 2Th 2:13-14 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Rom 9:17-18 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Rom 9:21-22 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Rom 9:22-24 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Eph 2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 1Co 1:27-31 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Pro 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
1Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Amo 3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Mat 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 1Co 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained [Greek, “foreknown”] before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Rom 9:11-13 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Rom 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 1Cor 1:27-29 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1Cor 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, Total Depravity
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Rom 5:18-19 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Job 15:14-16 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water? Psa 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? Psa 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. Pro 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? Ecc 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Jer 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil. Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Rom 3:9-12 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Jam 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Joh 8:43-45 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Joh 12:37-41 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Joh 3:5-7 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Eph 2:1-3 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Gen 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. Ecc 9:3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Mar 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Joh 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in [by] God. Rom 8:7-8 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Eph 4:17-19 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 2Ti 2:25-26 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Tit 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 1Jo 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Mat 7:16-18 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. Mar 7:21-23 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, "thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. "All these evil things come from within and defile a man." Jam 1:13-14 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Limited Atonement
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. 1Pe 2:8-9 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [see “God elects individuals to salvation”/God elects individuals to condemnation”]
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Joh 6:35-40 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 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. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Joh 10:3-4 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice....Joh 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep....Joh 10:14-15 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [we are commanded to love our wives in the same way that Christ loved the church and gave himself for it; therefore, if Christ loved and gave himself for all people in the same way, we are commanded to love all women in the same way that we love our wives] Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Joh 17:6-12 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Joh 17:20-21 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Joh 17:24-26 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. [note context, in which entering into the holy place is explicitly for the purpose of intercession] Heb 9:24-28 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. [For a fuller understanding of the indissoluble connection between sacrifice and intercession, read Hebrews chapters 7-10]
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. [the argument here is that the fact of Christ's death, resurrection, and intercession is in itself an incontrovertibly effective reason for non-condemnation; if this verse is true, then no one for whom Christ died and was raised to intercede may be condemned]
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
1Jo 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: [See also, “Jesus' death purchased for his people a new heart; – faith; – repentance”. Jesus died in order to establish the New Covenant (Mt. 26:26-29, etc.); the New Covenant promised faith, repentance and knowledge of God (Jer. 31:33-34, Ez. 36:26-27, etc.); therefore, Jesus died in order to provide faith, repentance, and knowledge of God, as the fulfillment of a unilateral promise. This means that his death had a definite purpose which was intended for some and not others. His death effectively purchased faith; not all have faith; and so his death had an effective intent that was limited to certain persons.]
1Ti 2:1-6 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. [the first “all men” is explicitly tied to all classes of men, which gives warrant for understanding the second “all men” in the same way]
Tit 2:11-14 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. [in the context of “all men” is the delimiting concept of a peculiar people, zealous of good works] Heb 2:9-10 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. [notice that the many sons whom Christ brings to glory gives a contextual delimiter to the term “every”] 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [note that this desire is explicitly limited to “us” (Peter was writing to fellow-believers) in the context] 1Jo 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. [propitiation means “appeasement of wrath”; either Jesus appeases God's wrath against all, and therefore hell (which is the place where God's wrath resides) is non-existent; or the “whole world” means something different than “every individual who ever lived”. See John 11:51-52, and “The word 'world' is often used in the sense of 'many,' or 'all of a set'”]
1Co 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Mat 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Joh 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Act 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Act 17:21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) Act 21:28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. Act 26:4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of [“manner of” is not in the Greek] fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Joh 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. Act 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. Rom 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
[“The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for either: 1) All the sins of all men; 2) All the sins of some men; or 3) Some of the sins of all men. In which case it may be said: 1) If the last be true all men have some sins to answer for, and so none are saved; 2) That if the second be true, then Christ, in their stead suffered for all the sins of the elect in the whole world, and this is the truth; 3) But if the first is the case, why are not all men free from the punishment due unto their sins? You answer, Because of unbelief. I ask, Is this unbelief a sin, or is it not? If it be, then Christ suffered the punishment due unto it, or He did not. If He did, why must that hinder them more than their other sins for which He died? If He did not, He did not die for all their sins!” – John Owen, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ]
2Th 1:6-9 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Rom 8:20-23 For the creature [in Greek, same word as “creation,” verse 22] was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature [in Greek, same word as “creation,” verse 22] itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Joh 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. Irresistible Grace
Eze 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Eze 36:26-27 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Phi 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Act 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. Act 18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: Eph 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. John 6:63-65 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64But there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."
Act 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. 2Ti 2:25-26 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 1Co 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
Jer 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Mat 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Luk 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Eze 37:3-6, 11-14 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD....Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. Joh 1:11-13 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 3:3-8 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Joh 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. Eph 2:1-5 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Jam 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. 1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1Jo 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Joh 12:37-40 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Psa 110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. Joh 6:37-40 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 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. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Rom 9:15 For 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. Perseverance of the Saints
Ecc 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. Isa 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. Jer 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Phi 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 2Ti 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Joh 10:27-29 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Rom 8:28-31 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 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. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Heb 10:26-27 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Rev 21:7-8 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev 22:14-15 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
1Co 1:30-31 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Gal 3:1-6 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Phi 2:12-13 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 1Th 5:23-24 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Heb 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1Jo 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. Jud 1:24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

https://reasonfiles.weebly.com/blog/steven-anderson-and-the-new-ifb-movement-update-1 Part 3i Antisemitism in the New IFB Of course, when a person or a group harbors as much hatred as the New IFB does, that hatred is bound to creep into every aspect of its life. As we have noted, it can be found in the New IFB “reprobate doctrine;” it’s interactions with those who disagree with or criticize New IFB doctrine and leaders and those who have left the New IFB; the numerous “assault videos” they post on YouTube; and, New IFB teaching on parenting and couples. In each of these instances the hatred inherent in the New IFB is on full display. Another area where the New IFB demonstrates its extreme hatred is Antisemitism, the hatred of Jews. Antisemitism is defined as hostility, prejudice, bigotry and racism directed against Jewish people. It has an evil twin known as Anti-Zionism, which is defined as opposition to the establishment or support of the state of Israel, particularly in an area of the Middle East roughly corresponding to (although significantly smaller than) the historical land of Israel, which is currently home to Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans, Baha’i’s, and Atheists. In the Middle Ages and up into the nineteenth century, Antisemitism was widespread. Jews were segregated and they were prohibited from holding certain jobs and from owning land. In Tsarist Russia, anti-Jewish laws remained in force into the early part of the twentieth century. On February 24, 1920, Adolph Hitler formed The National Socialist German Workers' Party, or Nazi Party, in Munich, Germany. This was the beginning of a resurgence of Antisemitism in Europe that eventually resulted in the deaths of six million Jews, as well as millions of non-Jews. In Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, written in 1924, he claimed he became an anti-Semite during his time in Vienna, Austra (1908-1913) when he was working as a painter. Whether this is true or not is a matter of speculation, but it does demonstrate that his Antisemitism was in full bloom by at least 1913. In addition to Mein Kampf, the Nazis also used a book published in Russia in 1903 titled, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, to justify their Antisemitism. Although the book was debunked in 1938 as an antisemitic forgery, all that mattered to the Nazis was that it supported their already long held antisemitic hatred. By 1929, Joseph Stalin had become the leader of Soviet Russia, having exiled any and all who might pose adversarial to him. And, while in 1931, he addressed the issue of Antisemitism by saying it was wrong and abhorrent and so forth, the fact of the matter was that he was an avowed antisemite who hated Jews. The year before coming to supreme power, he tried to create a Soviet version of Israel in Siberia where all Soviet Jews could be removed from Soviet society and contained in a single localized space. Not unlike the Nazi ghettos, but on a much larger scale. By 1936-37, Stalin had begun what has become known as the “Great Purge,” where thousands of people found themselves suddenly perceived as enemies of the state and under a death sentence. There were many Jews who lost their lives during this time. It was later, however, after World War II, in 1948, when two million loyal Soviet Jews suddenly found themselves declared to be enemies of the state, and Stalin’s reign of Antisemitic terror began in earnest. While we may never know exactly how many Jews Stalin killed, to say it is in the millions is likely an understatement.1 This is the antisemitic heritage that Steven Anderson and his New IFB has built on, and built on it they have. This is evidenced by the litany of antisemitic videos posted to YouTube by the New IFB. One really need look no further than Anderson’s videos, “How to Hate A Jew” (now removed from YouTube due to its hate content),2 “The Jews and Their Lies,”3 “The Jews Are Not the Chosen People”4, and his video, “Differences Between Old IFB and New IFB” in which Anderson explains that the Old IFB is Zionist, Pro-Israel and Pro-Jew; the New IFB is anti-Zionist/Zionism, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish (which is the same thing as being anti-Semitic), they’re against the state of Israel, against the religion of Judaism. He states that the New IFB believes in “Replacement Theology, or Covenant Theology” he says, “We do not believe the Jews are God’s chosen people, we believe that Christians are God’s chosen people. That basically a spiritual nation made up of Christians has replaced the physical nation made up of the Israelites. ‘The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth fruits thereof,’ so, you know, they’ve been replaced. Or, you could look at it as we were graft in and they were broken off as Romans 11 teaches. But, either way you look at it, at the end of the day, you know, Christians in the New Testament replace Old Testament nation of Israel.”5 Paul Wittenberger, the New IFB filmmaker responsible for producing numerous New IFB “documentaries” alongside his pastor, Steven Anderson, runs the website, Framing the World and its accompanying online store. A check of Wittenberger’s website and online store reveals several antisemitic, Nazi-sympathetic related books advertised and for sale.6  These include: DNA Science and the Jewish Bloodline by Texe Marrs and published by Marrs’ publishing company, RiverCrest Publishing7, in which noted antisemite Texe Marrs promotes what has become known as the “Khazarian Hypothesis” or the “Khazarian Myth” which states that the Jews living in Israel since 1948 are not actually Jewish at all, but rather are descendants of the Khazars, a Turk/Mongol people from the Caucasus region (an area covering modern day Southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan), thus concluding the Jews are not really Jews and have no connection whatsoever to historical Israel and no legitimate claim to the land of Israel. Marrs’ book is merely a regurgitation of a long refuted myth8. The Synagogue of Satan: The Secret History of Jewish World Domination by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock9. Texe Marrs published this book as well as writing the foreword. The author, Andrew Hitchcock is a noted holocaust denier and antisemite who claims the Jews are actually priests of Lucifer. Hitchcock insists Jews are responsible for orchestrating a “White Genocide,” and creating laws to protect their fabricated myth of a Jewish holocaust at the hands of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. In this book, Hitchcock promotes his beliefs that the Jews have established an international conspiratorial Cabal that is “responsible for virtually all wars, revolutions, financial debacles and social upheavals”10. Hitchcock claims the Jews established groups such as the Bilderbergers, the Freemasons, and the Council of Foreign Relations in order to further their goal of total global domination and the deaths of billions of White people11. In his book, Hitchcock claims that the Jews own “almost every major book publishing firm in the world”12; that they control all of America money through their central bank13; that they control the world’s gold markets14; that they are behind the funding of radical Islamic terror groups15; that they are influencing the United States Congress to endorse Talmudic laws that will call for the death by beheading of all Christians16; and that, among numerous other fanciful conspiracies, the Jews engineered both the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and the September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon, and what was likely to be either the White House or the Capitol17. The Myth of the Six Million: An Examination of the Nazi Extermination Plot by David Hoggan18. This book is another holocaust denial book, this one published by Willis Carto. Carto is best known for his antisemitic conspiracy theories and holocaust denial. Hoggan also promotes the idea that rather than fighting against the Nazi’s in World War II, the United States should have allied with them. Apparently Mr. Hoggan believes America should have assisted Hitler in his quest for world domination and the institution of occult paganism. AUSCHWITZ: The Final Count by Vivian Bird (Editor).19 This small book contains several holocaust denial essays, including one by Willis Carto (see above). This is not surprising since Carto published this work through his The Barnes Review magazine. “Death books” (bound ledgers containing records of those who died) were kept at Auschwitz during the years 1940 to 1945; but, the death book for the years 1940, 1941, most of 1943, and all of 1944-1945 are missing. Therefore, no one really knows exactly how many people died at Auschwitz. Historians, however, estimate that between 1940 and 1945 as many as 1.1 million people were killed or otherwise died at the Nazi concentration camp. Bird, on the other hand, believes the number is far lower at just over 70,000.20 The Bad War: The Truth Never Taught About World War II by Jeff Rense and Mike King21. This self-published book begins with the same premise as David Hoggan (see above) that the United States was wrong to fight against the Nazi’s in World War II, and should have allied with them. Conspiracy theorists Rense and King take things a step further in this book, by putting forth their beliefs that the Japanese did not rape Nanking, that the war was a prelude to the establishment of a New World Order, and, of course, that the Jews had their hands in everything from the White House to world banking, and more all in their pursuit for global domination22. Wittenberger’s website also advertises The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, one of the most antisemitic books ever written. Written in 1903 in Russia, translated into multiple languages and distributed throughout the world (auto manufacturing king Henry Ford paid to have half a million copies printed and sent throughout the United States), the book is ostensibly the minutes of a meeting of Jewish leaders that supposedly took place in the 19th century. According to the book, these Jewish leaders discussed their plans for global domination through the manipulation of the press, the economy, and the morals of the Gentiles. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has been used for the past century by antisemites – including the Nazi’s, to support and promote their hatred for the Jewish people. The Times of London exposed the book as a fraud in 1921, and by 1938 it had been completely debunked. It still remains, however, a popular work among antisemites.23 Are you beginning to see a pattern here? And it isn’t just Paul Wittenberger. As already noted, antisemitism is rampant in the New IFB. In fact, Wittenberger organized an Anti-Jewish, Anti-Israel “Conference” he called the “Marching to Zion” conference for October 2018 in celebration of both the New IFB hatred of the Jewish people, and the release of his “documentary” film of the same name.24 The New IFB Marching to Zion Conference was held at Stronghold Baptist Church (David Berzins – Pastor), a New IFB church in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 11-13, 2018.25 The conference schedule was to be26: Day One: Steven Anderson: “The Fake State of Israel” Aaron Thompson: “Salvation Equality to the Jew & the Goyim Too” Donnie Romero: “Replacement Theology” Grayson Fritts: “Circumcision” Donnie Romero: “Avoid Genealogies” Joe Major: “Hollywood, Porn, and Human Trafficking (and the Jews)” Day Two: Patrick Boyle: “The Gospel of John Ripping on Jews” Jonathan Shelley: “Stealing Christ’s Land” Bruce Mejia: “The Allegory of the Two Sons (Galatians 4)” Tommy McMurtry: “A Rebuke to Baptist Missions to Israel” Steven Anderson: “Romans Chapter 11 (and the Jews)” Day Three: Discussion with Tommy McMurtry and Joe Major, “The True Temple Mount Location” Michael Johnson: “The Promises to Israel Were Conditional” Joe Major: “The Evils of Judaism the Religion” Adam Fannin: “The Coming Jewish Antichrist” Dave Berzins: “The Jews Don’t Follow the Torah They Follow the Talmud” Every message a message of hate. At one point, the conference was abruptly canceled by the ticket sales venue, who suddenly announced the conference canceled and they promptly refunded the ticket price to people who had purchased tickets to the conference. No reason was ever given publicly, but it is likely the sales venue (Event Brite) upon realizing the nature of the conference decided they did not want to be associated with antisemitic hate. When clicking on the link provided by Paul Wittenberger and Steven Anderson to the Event Brite website to purchase conference tickets (www.eventbrite.com/e/marching-to-zion-conference-tickets-47881258132), you are taken to the Event Brite website, but to an error page saying “this page is not available” This caused the New IFB to go into crisis management / damage control mode, and they were soon putting out videos announcing the conference had not been canceled, and setting up conference registration centers in a local park and a Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food restaurant27. “Eventbrite has shut down our ability to sign people up for the Marching to Zion Conference for hate speech” Steven Anderson wrote to his followers. “They have cancelled our account and have refunded everyone there tickets. However, that's not going to stop this event. We are asking for people to re-sign up for the event and re-purchase your tickets at Framingtheworld.com. Just follow this link below and purchase a ticket for each person attending the event. So sorry for this inconvenience.” Not wanting to be left out, Jonathan Shelley quickly followed suit and wrote, “#Eventbrite #Cancelled the Marching to Zion #Conference like a bunch of hypocrites. Never use this company!”28 New IFB pastor Michael Johnson of Temple Baptist Church was also “Johnny-on-the-Spot” and put out his own video:  Within weeks after the conference had ended, Bruce Mejia of the then Faithful Word Baptist Church – LA continued the antisemitic rhetoric with a sermon he titled, “Misinterpreted & Out Of Context Scriptures”. In it he said, “Here’s another verse that people use out of context, Psalm 122, in verse number 6, ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! They shall prosper that love thee.’ Don’t you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? People who..these Zionist Christians, ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.’ Let’s keep reading (chuckles), ’cause when we’re talking about misinterpreted Scriptures and things that are taken out of context. Verse 7, ‘Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy houses, FOR MY BRETHREN and companions sake, I will now say, peace be within thee.’ Who’s they? Who they even talking about? Somebody’s saved brethren! ’Cause he’s saved! “Now, people, they get all offended at this when we’re like, ‘You know that the Jews are the sons of the devil!’ and all these things. They get so bent out of shape when we say things like that, but we’re just quoting the Lord Jesus Christ.” But is he actually quoting the Lord Jesus Christ as he claims? No, he isn’t. He is, in fact, lying from the pulpit. One need only to continue listening to see this as he goes on to quote Elijah, David, and Jeremiah, but not Jesus. He says, “Look, if it’s wrong to pray against Israel then you need to talk to Elijah. ‘Who maketh intercessions against Israel.’ You need to talk to David in Psalm 69 where he says, ‘May..Let them not be written with the righteous. Let their names be blotted out of the Book of Life.’ Well you say, ‘Oh no, but we need to pray for the land! You know, the lamb!’ Well then you need to talk to Jeremiah when God told him, ‘Pray not for this people!’ He says in Jeremiah 6:17, uh, 7:16, ‘Therefore, pray not for this people. Neither lift up a cry or a prayer for them. Neither make intercession to me for I will not hear thee.’”29 And please notice that when he quotes these Old Testament prophets and King David, he is making reference not to instances where God has not permanently abandoned Israel, but only where He is punishing Israel for their sin. Pastor Mejia recognizes this and states, “So what has changed since then? ‘Well they’re God’s chosen people.’ No. They’re God’s chosen people in the Old Testament when they’re obeying God and following the God of the Bible.” So even though Israel is God’s chosen people – at this point in their history according to Mejia, he still condemns them all, as an entire nation, saying they are not God’s people. He is not only lying (as shown in his own contradictory statements), but he is intentionally obfuscating his lies by making a confusing eisegesis of Scripture! Mejia goes on, “But when they decided to forsake God and serve Balaam,”30 Okay, wait a minute. Has “Pastor” Mejia even read the Bible? Does he have any idea what happens in it? Israel never served Balaam as he claims. Numbers chapters 22-24 describe Balak trying to get Balaam to curse Israel, but instead Balaam blessed Israel. Four times! Later, he told Balak how to get Israel to fall into sin, which they did, but never at any time does Scripture teach that Israel ever serve Balaam. Mejia does not know what he is talking about. A condition common within the New IFB movement. Mejia continues his thought by saying, “you know, take up the Star of Remphan, and the tabernacle of Moloch, God says ‘don’t pray for them, they’re done.’”31 Again, this does not mean what Mejia apparently thinks it means. He is referencing Acts 7:43, thinking it is referring to a New Testament occurrence; but what he apparently does not realize is, that, Acts 7:43 is itself a reference to Amos 5:25-27, wherein Amos is prophesying about the then forth coming Babylonian exile was was necessary as punishment for Israel taking up the worship of Moloch and either an Assyrian or Egyptian (or both) celestial god which Amos 5:26 translates as Remphan. The point here is, however, that these transgressions were forgiven and Israel was once again brought back as God’s chosen people. Mejia continues, “‘Yeah, but we’re in the New Testament.’ Yeah, it’s even worse for them in the New Testament. It’s even worse! They’re treasuring up wrath unto themselves! Okay. And look, God is saying, ‘I’m not hearing you.’” Again Mejia confuses the Old Testament turning away of God from Israel, with the New Testament where He does no such thing. He goes on, “So these guys that want to have prayer meetings and stuff like that for Israel and Jerusalem, you know, you’re just wasting your breath. Go..You accomplish more gossiping (laughs), than praying for Israel. ’Cause at least God will hear gossip and punish you for it. He’ll actually take action. ‘Prayer for Israel? I don’t even know what that guy..I’m not listening. I’m not gonna punish him, I’m not gonna reward him, I’m just not gonna hear him.’ He says, ‘Don’t make intercessions for me.’ So nothing has changed, other than the fact that we’re now God’s chosen people.”32 Here Mejia moves into what is known as “Replacement Theology” (also known as Supersessionism), an unbiblical teaching related to the heresy of Marcionism (in that it removes the Jews as Marcion did, and replaces them with the Church). The New IFB also mistakenly believes Replacement Theology is simply another word for the Reformed doctrine of Covenant Theology33. Mejia goes on to say in reference to Israel, “No, you guys, here’s the thing: if you are helping those who hate the Lord, wrath is upon you, from before the Lord. If you want their good, and you want them to prosper, then wrath is on you before the Lord. We want to make sure that we stay far clear, steer far clear from helping any ungodly person that hates the Lord, and hates the Lord Jesus Christ.”34 Again, this is a false teaching, based on antisemitic hatred, that claims Israel has long been abandoned by God because it hates God. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. Yes, Judaism continues (so far) to reject the Messiah, but that does not mean it/they hate God. It means they retain an Old Testament understanding of God, and their eyes have not been opened en masse to the reality of the Triune nature of God, and so they continue to reject Jesus. Again, at least so far. The New IFB is not only blinded by its hatred for others, including the Jews, but it has also hardened its heart to the truth of Scripture. Because of their self-imposed hardness of heart, the New IFB has failed to understand God’s word, and, by extension, God Himself. They have failed to understand the clear and explicit teaching of Scripture in Romans 11:26-27, which states: “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Did you catch that? “All Israel shall be saved.” Not may be saved, not might be saved, not could be saved, but will be saved. Furthermore, “There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer” – this is Jesus, “and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” (Israel). So this is not referring to a past occurrence, but a future event. At some point in the future Jesus will turn Israel away from sin (ungodliness) and He will save them. Nor is this a “may, might, could” happen occurrence, for God states very clearly that the salvation of Israel, by Jesus, is His “covenant unto them” (verse 27). That Israel clearly appears in the Book of Revelation (chapters 7,12,14,21) is further evidence of this New IFB fallacy. While it should be clear that the New IFB is obviously antisemitic, and anti-Israel, they continue to maintain that they are not. They continue to claim they are simply anti-Zionism. But when New IFB pastor Michael Johnson posted a video where he referred to the “Marching to Zion Conference” as the “Anti-Israel Conference” the proverbial cat was out of the bag. Although Johnson’s entire YouTube channel has since been removed from the internet, screen shots continue exist in cyber space. They are reproduced here.  Thumbnail for one of Michael Johnson’s anti-Israel videos:  Perhaps the most vocal proponent of antisemitism in the New IFB is Steven Anderson himself. Not only does he teach replacement theology, not only does he teach that the Jews are not God’s chosen people (both doctrines, as we have seen, are antithetical to Scripture), but he will justify his antisemitic teachings by claiming they are not antisemitic because there is no such thing as antisemitic. He simply states there are no such people as Jews anymore. They don’t exist. Therefore, since the Jews don’t really exist, no one can be antisemitic.35 Don’t even try to understand his logic. You can’t because there is no logic to his explanation. It is sort of like covering your head and thinking, no, believing, that you cannot be seen because you cannot see anyone else. It ignores the evidence that is obvious to everyone else (such as the rest of your body in full view, or the millions of Jews worldwide), simply because doing so fits your personal viewpoint.
Anderson also takes antisemitism to the next obvious step, and he denies the nation of Israel. “It’s a fraud” he exclaims, saying the Jews that returned to Israel weren’t really Jews. The Jews, he says, “they didn’t come back!” Anderson claims the Jews who have been populating Israel since 1948 are not Jews, but rather Ashkenazi’s who are white people from Caucasus region of Europe. This is more commonly known as the “Khazar Myth” and it has been thoroughly debunked for many years. Of course, as with most conspiracy theorists, Anderson believes the evidence debunking the Khazar conspiracy is actually part of the conspiracy itself, believing it was the Jews who created the evidence in order to protect themselves and discredit those whom the conspiracy theorists believe have debunked the Jews. This is why normal people don’t often try to deal with conspiracy theorists. Their beliefs will make your head spin! Anderson explains, “Let me tell you something. The Jews – not only were they scattered as a punishment in AD 70 and AD 135, they’ve been hated in every country that they’ve ever lived in for the last 2,000 years. In fact, did you know that – I believe 51 countries throughout history have expelled all the Jews. ‘Cause the one that you think of is 1492, when they were kicked out of Spain, but they’ve been kicked out of England, kicked out of the Netherlands, kicked out of Germany, kicked out of France, over and over again. You know, all throughout history. Even the Rabbis will tell you that they’ve been hated and persecuted in every single country they’ve ever lived in for the last 2,000 years. And people will say ‘Oh, that’s ‘cause they’re God’s people, that’s why they’re hated.’ No, Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24, – and isn’t Matthew 24 the chapter where they try to say ‘oh, this is just to the Jews?’ – In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ said this: ‘you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.’ Now have the Jews been hated for the name of Jesus? No, they’ve been hated because of being bankers, and they’ve been hated for blaspheming Jesus, but they dead-sure have not been hated because of Jesus’ name. They don’t claim the name of Jesus, okay. So why have they been persecuted, and hated, and kicked out of every country, you know, over the course of the last few thousand years? Simply this: They’re under the curse of God for rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ.”36 Did you catch what he did there? Using Matthew 24:9, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.”, as evidence of the Jews being under the curse of God. Of course, the problem with this becomes painfully clear when you read the passage in context, especially from verse 3 down through verse 31 where it is clear that Jesus is talking to His disciples, not the Jews. Jesus is teaching that it is Christians who will be persecuted for his name’s sake. Not the Jews. But this is the only way Anderson and others in the New IFB are able to make their unbiblical doctrines appear in Scripture: by twisting it until it is a mangled mess that no longer resembles the inspired word of God. And, if he is going to claim that the Jews are not the Jews, then the next obvious step is to deny the holocaust, and that is precisely what Anderson does. In a video released by Anderson, but later removed by YouTube because of its obvious racist and antisemitic tone, Anderson begins by emphatically stating he is not a racist. That he loves Jews, and that he has personally pleaded with Jews to come to Christ for salvation.37 But at the end of the day, those are just words, and when the actions associated with those words are contrary to the extreme, then those actions speak far louder than the words alone. As we have already seen, Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement have gone out of their way to vehemently express their beliefs that the Jews are evil, wicked, controlling, greedy lovers of money, manipulative, are fraudulently occupying the nation of Israel, do not even really exist as a people, are fraudulently claiming to be Jews, are engaged in a fraudulent religion, and more.38 If these awful doctrines of the New IFB don’t qualify as racist and antisemitic, then nothing does. And, in addition to the doctrines of devils being taught by Anderson and his New IFB, He and they also actively and passionately deny the holocaust. Anderson’s position is that the holocaust is a hoax, a scam, and a Jewish conspiracy. He claims that it is illegal in fourteen countries39 (although this is demonstrably false40), a fact which Anderson claims is proof of a Jewish conspiracy to promote the holocaust41. He continues his case promoting the holocaust as a Jewish conspiracy by saying six million Jews were not killed and subsequently cremated by the Nazi’s. Anderson claims the number is far too high, and he claims it is a number decided on by the Jews long before Adolph Hitler was elected President of Germany in 1934, perhaps even before his appointment to Chancellor in 1933. Anderson teaches the commonly accepted number of six million Jews killed by the Nazi’s was a foreordained number chosen by the Jews because, as he says, “the Jews love numbers. That’s what the kabbalah is all about.” He goes on, “Think about all the things they [the Jews] fixate on that contain the number six. They have a 6 pointed star, 6 million dead in the holocaust, the 6 days war, and how many supposed death camps were there? Well, of course, there were 6. You know if you look through the list, Auschwitz, Treblinka, Kulmhof, Sobibor, Majdanek and Belzec. So that number is before ordained”42 (there were actually nine43, but hey, he was on a roll at this point). Anderson continues, “You can even find ten newspaper articles from before Hitler was even elected where they’re talking about 6 million Jews are gonna be killed, 6 million Jews, 6 million Jews. So that number is like a magic number to them. That 6 million figure. It’s not really based on real history and science. It’s just a number that was foreordained.”44 He goes on, “So yeah, you can change the total at Auschwitz from 4 million to 1.5 million or down below a million, but hey, it’s 6 million total and shut up and believe it because we said so. Now, let’s talk about the number of people that were killed at Auschwitz.” The problem with Anderson’s argument, however, is that he draws from only part of the research that has been done regarding the number of Jews murdered by the Nazi’s during World War Two. He draws on only those parts of the research that he can twist and reinterpret (or misinterpret) so he can shoe-horn it into his revisionist presentation of history. What we do know, and that Anderson conveniently omits, is that Dr. William Hoettl, an Austrian Nazi Party member with the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer and the acting head of intelligence and counter espionage for Hitler, and who said under oath on more than one occasion that the number was six million. The first time was during the Nuremberg war trials in 1945, and the second time was during the trial of Adolph Eichmann in 1961. Hoettl testified that Eichmann, who was responsible for the logistics for the of the Jewish genocide, told him in August 1944 that the number of Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis was about six million – four million in the extermination camps and another two million at the hands of the Einsatzgruppen (the Nazi death squads) who shot them, as well as those who died via starvation, disease, and other forms of neglect while in Nazi custody45. Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, reports there are several scholars who all confirm the numbers are between five and six million. The center reports that these estimates are derived through the examination of both pre and post World War II census data and population estimates, as well as the detailed records kept by the Nazi’s recording deportations and gassings. The Center itself maintains a list of documented Jewish holocaust victims. To date the list contains more than four million names. The number is undoubtedly more considering the Russians have yet to release all of their captured Nazi records46. Raul Hilberg, the world’s preeminent scholar on the holocaust, wrote in his magnum opus, “The Destruction of the European Jews” in 1961, that the number of Jews killed by the Nazi’s as part of their “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” was 5.1 million. In the 1985 edition he provided a detailed explanation of exactly how he arrived that that estimate47. In 1975, award winning historian Lucy Schildkret Dawidowicz wrote in her book, “The War Against the Jews,” that using pre and post war birth and death records she was able to narrow the figure to 5,933,90048. During the mid to late 1990’s, preeminent German historian Wolfgang Benz reported his findings after being allowed access to government archives in Eastern Europe, by which he was able to determine the number of Jews killed by the Nazi’s was between 5.29 million and 6.2 million49. When one notices the contrasting numbers it is easy to conclude that no one knows what they are talking about. Which is similar to Steven Anderson’s conspiracy theory conclusion. However, it is important to remember two things. The first is that researchers can only use the information they have access to, and some researchers obviously have access to records and research material that other researchers do not have access to. Equally important is that the six million figure was never meant to be a precise number of victims. It has always been an estimate, a best guess based on available records and expert testimony. As the recent expert research has shown (such as noted here), however, the number is reasonably accurate, perhaps more so than many have ever realized. Anderson then concludes his video with one of the strangest monologues possible. He begins with a long drawn out explanation of how it was humanly impossible for the Nazi’s to have killed and cremated the number of Jews that are claimed to have been killed and cremated. But he presents inaccurate and incomplete information upon which he bases his claim. He claims most of those who were cremated died of natural causes and were not killed by the Nazis. He claims to have done the research, and he invites others to do their own research. However, his research is limited only to other holocaust deniers (likely because holocaust deniers believe that all research done by non-holocaust researchers is tainted by the Jews and their supporters); and he knows full well that most people are not as committed to the facts and figures regarding the Holocaust as he and other holocaust deniers believe they are (they are actually committed to furthering their conspiracy theory).50 Anderson then goes into another long drawn out explanation, this time regarding the word holocaust. He says that as he was reading his Spanish Bible (La Santa Biblia) and learned that Noah offered “un holocausto to the Lord” when he got off the ark, and he determined the word meant “the whole burnt offering.” Anderson is close, although the text does not say “un holocausto” as he says it does when he quotes it. The reference is to Genesis 8:20, which reads, “Y edificó Noé un altar a Jehová, y tomó de todo animal limpio y de toda ave limpia, y ofreció holocausto en el altar.”51 The phrase Anderson is referring to is, “y ofreció holocausto en el altar” and not “un holocausto” as he claims. This is the beginning of where he goes horribly wrong in his eisegetical interpretation of the text. The phrase is translated as, “and offered holocaust on the altar.” The word “holocaust” is translated from the Greek word holocauston, which, in turn, is a translation of the Hebrew word `olah, which refers to a burnt sacrifice. Anderson then takes this very simple understanding of the word holocaust, and claims that since the “final solution to the Jewish question” was known as the “holocaust,” this clearly means that the supposed goals was to “kill all the Jews and cremate them all.” He claims this is what the holocaust actually means. He then explains that since the entire Jewish race was not all killed and cremated in World War II, then the holocaust didn’t actually happen. “My point is this,” he says, “if there was no mass cremation of millions and millions of Jews, then can you really call it the holocaust anymore?” That anyone can actually accept the complete suspension of rational thought necessary to believe such nonsense is difficult to accept. And yet here we have Steven Anderson on video that has been preserved for posterity demonstrating this very thing. It takes very little time and effort to do the research and learn that most of the Jewish victims who were cremated were burned in pits, trenches, and pyres. Not in the crematoria. Anderson claims this method would be inadequate for the destruction of the bodies. As we see here, Anderson begins with a premise (that the Nazi’s were intent on both killing all of the Jews and then cremating all of the bodies) that simply has no basis in reality. While the Nazi’s were intent on ridding the world of Jews, the burning of the bodies was simply a method utilized to help alleviate the problem of stacks of dead bodies. Their primary goal was to eradicate the Jews. Remove them the planet. To achieve this psychopathic end they shot them. By the thousands. They then took the bodies and dumped them in pits, trenches, ravines, and on pyres. Many of the bodies they burned in the pits and on the pyres. Did these fires consume the bodies completely? No, of course not. But to be brutally frank, it is far easier to dispose of the remains once they had been burned in such a manner, than it would have been had they been simply shot and buried. The burning of the bodies, you see, was nothing more than a means to an end. When the statistics are matched with the methods, it quickly becomes apparent that around six million Jews were systematically exterminated52. Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement deny the existence of the Nazi death camps (claiming they were all simply forced labor camps. What he and they fail to mention and/or understand is that thousands died at the hands of the Nazi’s while in these camps. Virtually all of the Nazi concentration camps, regardless of their initial purpose, became a death camp to one degree or another. Anderson tries to claim that the Nazi’s simply wanted the Jews to leave Germany, and not necessarily to exterminate them. He points to a commemorative coin bearing both the Nazi swastika and the star of David as evidence of this. He claims the Nazi’s and the Jews were working hand in hand to accomplish this. He even references the Haavara Agreement of August 193353 (between National Socialists and German Zionists) as evidence of this. What he has either failed or chosen to mention is that the Haavara Agreement was nothing more than a precursory stage of what became known as the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”, which was the Nazi plan to rid Germany (and the world) of all Jews. While the Haavara Agreement served to relocate some 60,000 Jews to British Palestine between 1933 and 1939, as the war broke out the Nazi’s soon realized that this plan was no longer feasible, and another plan, one that worked within the parameters of war the Nazi’s had instituted against the world, was necessary. Anderson finishes his antisemitic video diatribe of nonsensical myths and debunked conspiracy theories by making several comments that can only be described as insulting. Insulting to the Jewish people, insulting to those unfortunate enough to view his video (by assuming they are too stupid to realize he is merely regurgitating the same tired old long refuted antisemitic garbage), and insulting to God by claiming to be a Christian while exhibiting a hatred on par with the Nazi’s he laughingly claims he does not approve of. He claims the reason the Nazi’s shaved the Jews heads and made them take showers (Anderson claims the showers were regular showers, and not gas chambers) was because, well, they are Jews so, you know filthy and diseased and head lice. More racist antisemitic language. As with virtually all holocaust deniers, Anderson creates a straw man argument, saying things such as the holocaust is about six million Jews being sent straight to death camps where they were murdered, the photographs of the emaciated corpses proves there was no holocaust because it proves they weren’t sent straight to their deaths upon reaching the camps and there aren’t any photos of six million dead Jews, and there are no credible witnesses to the gas chambers or cremations, and the Jews deny that Jesus is the Messiah therefore they are all liars and are thus lying about the holocaust, and he then proceeds to tear down the straw man he has built and say it proves the holocaust did not happen. In order to show that all Jews will go to hell, Anderson makes reference to Matthew 8:12, “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” and he says that this verse shows all Jesus will go to hell. However, as he often does, Anderson eisegetes the text rather than exegetes it, and his explanation defies all rational understanding as it ignores numerous explicitly taught Scripture in order to support what Anderson already believes. The passage is referring to theocratic Jews who believed that because they were trusting in the law to save them, rather than for God to save them (which is contrary to what God has always taught, even in regard to the law (see Romans 7:7-25), and who thus believed they were children of the kingdom. Jesus was simply using language they would recognize as being about themselves. Anderson claims the reason the Jews lie about the holocaust is because without the holocaust, the nation of Israel would not exist. He says the holocaust was the “justification for going into Palestine and stealing the land from the Arabs who lived there, and killing a bunch of Palestinians and kicking them out, and putting them into a giant concentration camp known as Gaza or the West Bank.” He claims the United Nations and the Rothchilds and the World Government, etc., were behind creation of the nation of Israel; and Zionism was created by the Jews to manipulate the United States into supporting Israel, and has caused the Muslims to hate Americans. It’s all the Jews fault. He then offers some research options for those who want to research the holocaust for themselves. He recommends: The Holocaust Hoax Exposed by Victor Thorn Auschwitz The Case for Sanity by Carlo Mattogno The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry by Arthur Butz All three are standard holocaust denial books. At the end of the day, the holocaust denial doctrine of Steven Anderson, as with the entire holocaust denial movement, is filled with uninformed suppositions and speculations coupled with their own misanthropic misrepresentations of the facts. Their tactics are almost uniform throughout the movement. They do irrelevant calculations based on their own ignorance in order to "prove" their claims. Quite often they will hyper focus on a specific, usually obscure aspect of the holocaust while ignoring the totality of the whole. They ignore the all of the historical evidence in favor of their presuppoitionally biased calculations. The purpose of the tactics is to cast doubt on that specific claim, and then they leave it up to others to come in and disprove them. Most people will not take the time to fully research the holocaust, and the deniers like Anderson not only know this, but they count on it. If they are able to cast doubt on any particular aspect of the holocaust, then they have then succeeded in creating doubt in the average persons mind regarding the whole of the holocaust. Once one is doubtful about one aspect, they will never be sure regarding what they know about the rest. This is the goal of the holocaust denier. They cannot be dissuaded by rational arguments or logic or even irrefutable documented evidence. They are usually so thoroughly indoctrinated, so completely infused with antisemitism and an irrational hatred of Jews; and so convinced that the Jews are behind a vast shadowy international cabal operating with the goal of destroying the (white) western world, and establishing global domination with the center of their power located in Israel, that they can only be changed by a miracle of God. Luke 24:46-47 says, "And [Jesus] said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” To whom? To the very Jews that called for Christ’s crucifixion. Why? Because, as the Apostle Paul makes very clear in his epistle to the Romans, God continues to love the Jews and is clearly not done with them yet. He still intends on saving the remnant of His children that are found among the Jewish people. Compare this with Isaiah 37:4; Ezra 9:8; Nehemiah 1:2; Haggai 1:12; Isaiah 10:22; and Zephaniah 2:7. See God’s message to Elijah in 1 Kings 19, He will reserve for Himself a remnant. See God’s message to Ezekiel 6, He will reserve for Himself a remnant. See the 144,000 Jews reserved for the Lord in Revelation 7 and 14. See Isaiah 37:31, the Tribe of Judah will be a remnant preserved for the Lord. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came though the Tribe of Judah! (Matthew 1:1-6; Luke 3:31-34). God will always reserve for Himself a remnant of His people from among the Jews, “Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved”! (Romans 9:27). While Steven Anderson is quick to write off the Jews, God is not going to write them off as easily as Anderson. Conclusion As we have seen throughout this examination of Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement, they are anything but Christian, regardless of what they call themselves. From criminal activity engaged in by movement leaders, to documented lying to their congregants from the pulpit; from rampant hypocrisy to widespread denial of the biblical Jesus, replacing Him with either a modalist deity or a trithesitic deity; from slander and character assassination to orchestrated attacks designed to destroy the reputation of a person; from obvious unbiblical and anti-biblical doctrines to demonically inspired hatred, the New IFB movement is the antithesis of biblical, God honoring, Christ worshiping, Holy Spirit led Christianity. For those who are involved with the New IFB Movement, it would serve you well to remove yourselves as fast and as far from it as you possibly can. For those who have been exposed to the New IFB Movement, run! Run as far and as fast as you can away from it! Do not hesitate! Run for your very spiritual lives! For those who may be contemplating involving themselves and they family in this movement, please reconsider. Please think very hard about becoming involved with this ear tickling cult. They only want to hook you and drag you into their movement and further increase their numbers, their influence, and their reach. For all of you, please remember the God inspired words of the Apostle Paul instructs the body in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

In answer to your inquiry : National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism. Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism. In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty. J.

Differences between Old IFB and New IFB sanderson1611 Published on Sep 17, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXyI0FwwEz4 Accessed 10 October 2019 Note: In this video, Anderson also states that the New IFB is completely intolerant of LGBT, that they hate LGBT, and not just the sin of homosexuality, but also homosexuals themselves. This is borne out by the refusal of New IFB churches to even allow homosexuals into their church buildings to hear a sermon, their refusal to share the gospel with them, and their insistence that ALL homosexuals are reprobate and beyond any hope for salvation (contrary to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Also in this video, Anderson references both Donnie Romero (by sin, not by name) and mentions Romero stole money from the church – thus admitting his complicity by not turning Romero over to the police, and telling everyone else to not say anything because, “we have to keep Donnie out of jail.” and he also references Paul Berg (again by sin and not name) as the “Layman who was found out to be a pervert, we exposed him and turned him over to the police!” (not an exact quote, see video at the 12:00 mark). He goes on to say that while the Old IFB is generally pro-Republican in their politics, the New IFB is staunchly against both parties, and is staunchly anti-War, what Anderson calls “more of a Ron Paul Republican type of view.” He says, “We’re against the military industrial complex and the warfare state, call us (scare quotes) conspiracy theorists (scare quotes) or whatever.” He goes on to say the New IFB is anti-birth control. Next, Anderson says New IFB sermons are “expository in nature.” Seriously? Maybe in a twisted Scripture sort of way. Maybe more of an “Eisegetical exposition” of the Bible. He defines expository as going verse by verse. Exegesis is technical and grammatical exposition, a careful drawing out of the exact meaning of a passage in its original context. {To prepare an expository sermon, the preacher starts with a passage of Scripture and then studies the grammar, the context, and the historical setting of that passage in order to understand the author’s intent. In other words, the expositor is also an exegete—one who analyzes the text carefully and objectively. (See our article “What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis?”) Once the preacher understands the meaning of the passage, he then crafts a sermon to explain and apply it. The result is expository preaching. https://www.gotquestions.org/expository-preaching.html}. He goes on to say the New IFB is anti-Bible College. He says the pastors in the New IFB “believe in teaching all the heavy Bible doctrine in church, Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, they’ll teach the heavy doctrine.” He says the Old IFB is into Christian school, but the New IFB is all about Home schooling (which he ironically spells “home shool”). He says, “we’re also into not vaccinating our children, and taking a more alternative view to medicine sometimes such as home birth and breast feeding the baby and doing things more naturally and holistically,” He says that all the things they deviate on from the Old IFB – such as noted here, are “actually an improvement in every case. If you actually compare these things side by side, you’ll see that in every case we’ve gotten closer to the word of God. We’ve actually tightened things up and improved things.” He claims that being anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish is a biblical viewpoint. He says the New IFB is led by the Holy Spirit. It’s interesting that Anderson keeps talking about the Old IFB from its beginnings in the 1940’s as being “traditional” and the “old paths.” Mid-20th century is not old with regard to Christianity, nor Christian tradition. That would be the early centuries AD. Maybe that’s why they are so willing to accept the pre-Wrath thing which didn’t exist until the 1990’s. These are the core doctrinal distinctives of the New IFB, held by every New IFB church. 6. Framing the World, https://store.framingtheworld.com/t/books, accessed 07 October 2019 7.

Differences between Old IFB and New IFB sanderson1611 Published on September 17, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXyI0FwwEz4 accessed on 13 October 2019 While Replacement Theology replaces Israel with the Church as God’s chosen people, and subscribes all of God’s promises to Israel to the Church instead; Covenant Theology does not. Covenant Theology teaches that the Church, and not national Israel, is the Israel of God mentioned in Galatians 6:16. At the same time, however, Covenant Theology does not exclude Israel from the Church, and believes it will, in time, come to accept Jesus as their Messiah and be included in the Israel of God, which is another term for the true believers of God. It has always meant that, and had never meant national Israel. See Romans chapter 11. 34. Ibid 35. The New IFB admits that they are anti-Israel It it wan’t clear enough by the claims that Israel loves occupation and likes murdering Palestinians, it now has been made clear that the New IFB is actually self-admitting to being anti-Israel. Several months ago, when Tyler Doka was still on the up-and-up in the New IFB, he criticized the militarygetsaved Baptist Church directory for calling his church Anti-Israel. But now, Pastor Johnson has uploaded a video admitting that the Marching to Zion conference is not just an anti-zionism conference, but anti-Israel.

Laws against Holocaust denial From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial Accessed 10 October 2019 16 specifically illegal & 5 more which include holocaust denial as part of other laws, for a total of 21 countries. There are a total of sixteen countries that have made holocaust denial a criminal offense: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungry, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia. There are an additional five countries where although denial of the holocaust is not specifically a crime, it is included within the description of similar crimes: Liechtenstein (though not specifically illegal, denial of genocide and other crimes against humanity is an imprisonable offense), The Netherlands (though not specifically illegal, it is included in this country’s hate crime and anti-discrimination laws), Portugal (though not specifically illegal, denial of war crimes if used to promote racism or discrimination is an imprisonable offense), Spain (though denial is not illegal, justifying the holocaust is an imprisonable offense), Switzerland (though not specifically illegal, denial of genocide and other crimes against humanity is an imprisonable offense). These twenty-one countries will prosecute holocaust denial either under their laws specifically identifying holocaust denial as a criminal offense, or under their existing hate crime laws, anti-discrimination laws, denazification laws, and crimes against humanity laws. Contrary to Anderson’s claim, most of these laws are specifically pro-Jewish or pro-Israel. They are, however, pro-humanity which is a decidedly biblical teaching and decidedly against everything Steven Anderson and the New IFB stand for, believe, and teach. 38.

Haavara Agreement From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement Accessed 10 October 2019 Page 3h Domestic Violence and the New IFB The violence and hatred inherent in the New IFB movement is not limited to Steven Anderson’s pulpit messages and the plethora of assault videos on YouTube, as can be seen in the following examples.
On July 17, 2016, Richard Miller, an early protégé of Steven Anderson gave a sermon titled, “What A Time To Be Alive” while at Anderson’s church. During this sermon, Miller talked about what he called the “manly things”, such as shooting guns, hunting food, and fighting. According to Miller, these are what men and only men do. “It’s a manly thing to fight! It’s something that men do,” Miller said. He went on to exclaim, “if you’re a man, you oughta love to fight!”1 Miller gave this sermon after attending Anderson’s church for several years, and shortly before Anderson ordained Miller to the ministry. It seems odd that Anderson would ordain Miller as a pastor after giving a sermon such as this one, especially considering God’s word clearly states in Titus 1:7 that one of the qualifications for being a pastor is that the man is not a “striker” meaning he cannot be a contentious or pugnacious person. And, in 1 Timothy 3:3, God’s word states that a pastor can not only not be a “striker,” but also cannot be a “brawler” which is from the Greek word, amachon, meaning the person is peaceable, not prone to fighting, not contentious. In other words, Anderson’s protoge is saying one thing, and the Bible is saying the complete opposite with regard to being violent. In spite of his obvious lack of biblical qualifications, Anderson ordained him anyway, and sent him out to Tennessee to begin “Soul Winning Baptist Church”.2 According to Anderson, with a name like that it cannot do away with soul winning, otherwise it might just as well shut down. And that is exactly what happened. Within months of being ordained and opening his new church, Miller simply walked away from the church, severing all affiliation with Anderson and his New IFB movement.3 Pastor Jonathan Shelley of Pure Words Baptist Church and the Stedfast Baptist Church group of churches, and also a protégé of Steven Anderson, takes the violence to an entirely new level, and brings it into the home when he teaches that beating and killing children is mandatory. In a sermon he gave titled, “Honour Thy Mother and They Father,”4 Shelley points to Proverbs 23:12-15 which states, “12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. 13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. 15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.” In his “exposition” of this passage, Shelley states that parents who refuse to discipline and correct their children are disobedient to God and actually hate their children. He claims that beating children is just as mandatory as the Ten Commandments. After reading this passage from Proverbs, Shelley goes on to say, “If ya don’t want your kids to go to hell, ya gotta beat ‘em! Ya gotta train ‘em, ya gotta chasten ‘em, ya gotta scourge ‘em! And we see very clearly from this passage, it’s not a suggestion. Verse 14, ‘Thou Shalt Beat Him,’ that’s the same as all the other Ten Commandments.” While the passage does say a child is to be “beat...with the rod,” while the words “beat” and “rod” quite literally mean what they say, and the passage is teaching the importance of corporal punishment, the “rod” is not to be taken literally, but metaphorically. As Tedd Tripp writes in his book, “Shepherding a Child’s Heart,” “The rod is a parent, in faith toward God and faithfulness toward his or her children, undertaking the responsibility of careful, timely, measured, and controlled use of physical punishment to underscore the importance of obeying God, thus rescuing the child from continuing in his foolishness until death.”5 This would naturally refer to spanking the child. Not slapping or punching or kicking. Not hitting them in the face, the head, the back, the legs, etc. It means an open handed spank, on the bottom, with force sufficient to teach and appropriate for the age and size of the child. Texas pastor Dan Phillips says, “God has thoughtfully provided parents with a ‘bull’s-eye’ that is a well-padded area which He kept free from sensitive internal organs.”6 The late theologian R.C. Sproul wrote, “Pain can be a great teacher indeed. As any parent of a toddler will tell you, there are lessons that very young children will not learn without a spanking...Properly administered physical discipline is an act of love, and as the Bible indicates, those who spare the rod are hating their children and not showing them love and affection (Prov. 13:24; 22:15; 23:13-14; Heb 12:7-11)”7 The operative phrase here is “properly applied.” As noted, this means an appropriate spanking, not leaving red marks, welts, broken bones, and worse. The responsible Christian parent is able to express their love for their child through both praise and encouragement and also appropriate meaningful discipline and punishment. Shelley, on the other hand, when preaching this passage is screaming, yelling, pounding the pulpit with full force almost as if he is imagining himself wailing on a child, with spittle frothing at the corners of his mouth. It is a frightening scene to be sure. And his admonition to his congregation, “YA GOTTA SCOURGE ‘EM!!!” is not biblical at all. To scourge someone is to whip them with a small multi-thonged whip which has pieces of wood and glass embedded in the braided leather thongs. It is designed to inflict maximum pain and blood loss as it rips pieces of flesh and muscle from the victim (in Shelley’s case a child) being scourged. Jesus was beaten and scourged to such a degree that He was no longer recognizable as a human being. Pastor Shelley would have no doubt been very familiar with that Bible passage (Matt. 20:19; 27:26; Mark 15:15; Luke 18:33; John 19:1, cf. Isa. 52:14), and thus he would know exactly what scourging entailed. That he would command – not suggest, but command – that any child be scourged is beyond reprehensible. Why he, or anyone, who commands that children be beaten severely with wooden rods and whipped with a scourge as necessary to keep them from hell; who in essence is commanding child abuse from the pulpit, is even allowed to have custodial rights over any child is beyond comprehension. And, as if beating and scourging children isn’t bad enough, Shelley goes on to tell his congregation (and every viewer of the YouTube video of his sermon) that if the beating and scourging doesn’t knock the rebelliousness out their children, then kill them. He says that lazy, video game playing, rebellious children are to be put to death. Of course, he later adds a qualifier by saying they “should” be put to death by the government. This seems to the standard qualifier used by Anderson and his New IFB movement followers when calling for the deaths of whatever group of people they are railing about at any given time. They must be put to death, but the government should do it. The death penalty is mandatory, it’s required, but the government should do it. And this is apparently the same method of child rearing employed in the Anderson household as well. Mrs. Anderson has written extensively about problems with modern child rearing methods. In one of her blog posts she points out the benefits of the “rod of correction” and looks back longingly at her own upbringing in East Germany with “old-school grandparents.” She writes, “Not like Germany is the bedrock of strict parenting these days or even was in my days, but being from East Germany and having had 'old-school' grandparents, I was raised in times and circumstances that were decades 'behind the times'. When we were newlyweds and young parents, I was often dumbfounded by permissive American parenting, where it is a virtue among many to let kids walk rough-shod over their parents and suffer it patiently.” She goes on to write, “Kids do not turn out right overnight, and they are not lost overnight. They continue for many years on the path of right, lit by God's word, or they continue down the way of transgressors, unchecked for many years. There are a thousand parenting decisions made over the course of many years that keep kids on one path, or the other.”8 Former Faith Word church member, and executive producer of Anderson’s New World Order Bible Versions “documentary,” Paul Berg, related in a YouTube video that when Anderson was told two of his sons had bullied another boy by drawing a picture of the boy with feces on his face and calling him “poop face,” Anderson responded by beating his two sons.9 Granted, bullying should never be tolerated, but drawing a picture of another boy and calling it “poop face” is not all that unusual for young elementary school children and hardly warrants much punishment at all, much less a beating. While Mrs. Anderson is correct in her blog post that it is important to keep children on the proper path when they are growing up, it is almost certain that beating them as her husband allegedly does, or scourging them as Jonathan Shelley does, are not proper parenting methods. Why Child Protective Services allows beatings and scourgings (which they apparently do since both the Anderson’s and the Shelley’s still have their children in their homes) is beyond understanding. As has been briefly noted elsewhere, Zsuzsanna Anderson, the wife of Steven Anderson, has made it a point to condone spousal abuse. At least implicitly. While she does say in one of her videos that she does not recommend a woman remain in a home where the she and her children are in physical danger. She says, “obviously, if you are in danger of life or limb get out of there. Protect yourself, protect the children.” She goes on to say, “But it is a very sad situation, it is a lose-lose situation, and unfortunately I have no advice for that. I don’t know what you should do, or what would be prudent to you, other than protect yourself from physical harm.”10 This is about the extent of Zsuzsanna Anderson’s advice for someone who is in “physical danger...danger of life or limb.” Just get out and protect yourself and your children. Sound advice. But this is the limit of her sound advice to women who are married to abusive men. According to the United States Department of Justice, there are five types of abuse possible in the home.11 They are: 1. Physical Abuse, which consists of striking someone, shoving them, or otherwise intentionally causing some form of physical injury, regardless of how slight. 2. Sexual Abuse, which consists of rape, unwanted touching of sexual areas of the body, forcibly kissing, or any forced and unwanted encounter of a sexual nature. 3. Emotional Abuse, which consists of constant unwarranted criticism, repeated name calling, repeated mockery and belittlement, undermining the victim’s relationship with their children and/or family friends and/or relatives, intentional dismissing and diminishing of the victim’s abilities and accomplishments, and other forms of verbal abuse. 4. Economic Abuse, which consists of manipulating the victim in such a manner as to make them completely financially dependent upon the abuser, by asserting complete and total control over all finances and all financial decisions, requiring the victim to request and account for any money needed for household or personal supplies, and similar behaviors involving finances. 5. Psychological Abuse, which consists of threats of harm to the victim and/or the victim’s children and or the victim’s family members and friends, destroying the victim’s property, killing or otherwise removing the victim’s pet(s) from the victim, intimidation, forced isolation from family and/or friends and/or school or work associates, or any other fear inducing behavior. In her video, Mothering Moment - What to do if you're married to a jerk, Mrs. Anderson addresses all of these forms of abuse, though not in the manner you might expect from the wife of someone who is ostensibly a Christian pastor. As we have seen, she does advise those who are in physical danger of life and limb to remove themselves and their children from the abuser. And again, this is sound advice. But it is the end of her sound advice, because when she addresses the other forms of abuse, she suddenly switches gears and rather than blame the abuser for their intentionally abusive behavior, she blames the victim, the person receiving the abuse. In her video, Mrs. Anderson says, “The short answer of what to do if you’re married to a jerk, take a long hard look in the mirror, because chances are you are the problem. … Chances are, if you are married to a jerk, the problem is you.” If that isn’t enough of a slap in the face to the victims of spousal abuse, Mrs. Anderson goes on to say, “If you are married to a jerk, look in the mirror, because no good wife thinks, ‘I’m married to a jerk.’ Only a haughty, prideful, arrogant person who has the wrong feelings in their heart, and who does not know how to be a godly Christian would even think that. What if a child said, ‘Well, what do you do if your parent is a jerk?’ You would think, well it sounds like you have the wrong attitude toward your parents. ’Cause she [the victim] could have phrased it any which way, you know, she could have said, ‘I’m struggling in my marriage, my husband is withdrawn from me,’ but no, she decided to phrase it the way she did. If your husband is withdrawn from you it might be because you’re driving him to the corner of the housetop.” Her video is based primarily on a woman who wrote to her asking for help. A woman who was married to an abusive man. A man whom she referred to as a jerk. The woman tells Mrs. Anderson that she and others have been trying to get her husband into counseling, and although he is now going, he does not cooperate with the counseling. This is typical behavior for an abuser once their abuse is made public. In order to “save face” and attempt to make their victim appear as if they are “making it all up,” they will go to counseling, but it only for appearances as they do not cooperate with what the counselor asks of them. Mrs. Anderson responds by not only telling this woman that she is to blame for her husbands abusive behavior, but that she does not have to be a victim. That she is one by choice. Mrs. Anderson says all the woman has to do, all any woman has to do when they are involved in an abusive relationship that isn’t physically abusive, is understand that they have the power to influence their husbands by simply submitting. Submit to the abuser and just do what he says. Mrs. Anderson says that when a husband is abusive (again abusive though not physically so), it is usually the wife’s fault because she is not being the kind of wife her husband wants, and is therefore in rebellion against his authority, and her answer is to submit to the abuser.12 To boil down her advice to victims of emotional abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and economic abuse to a single line, it would be, “just suck it up buttercup because it’s all your fault anyway.” Lovely. Many of those viewing Mrs. Anderson’s video are apparently so enamored with Mrs. Anderson, or her husband, or both, and apparently believe they can do no wrong, and can say no wrong. They speak glowingly of Mrs. Anderson’s advice to submit to an abusive bully spouse. One woman commented on this video, “That's something that has changed my way of seeing life and problems: i try to be the culprit (guilty party) because, then, the solution is on my hands! How liberating it is and how powerful makes you feel!!” Another person wrote, “Beautiful advice! Thank you so much for this. It was truly inspiring to me.”13 One has to wonder what flavor the Anderson Kool-Aid is that they drank. While her video was live streamed to YouTube in July 2019, it is really nothing more than the video version of a blog post she wrote in January 2011, similarly titled, “So You’re Married To A Jerk.” In this blog article, Mrs. Anderson writes, “Chances are that the ‘victim’ in this situation made their own bed. … my personal observation has been that those who complain about their spouses...or think all the time what a jerk he is, maybe are not a pleasant person to be around themselves. Maybe it’s them who is the problem? Just hypothetically, let’s assume that a sweet, godly lady marries a nice godly guy. After they are married, completely out of the blue, he changes personalities and turns out to be a complete jerk. What should she do? Does she have any ‘recourse’?...The only biblical recourse for a horrible marriage, or any marriage for that matter, is death. If your husband is an abusive, mean, hateful, fill-in-the-blank jerk in spite of you doing your best as a wife, God can kill him whenever He wants to. If he is still alive, God must still want you to be married to him. ...If nothing else, it will be a great lesson for the kids, who hopefully will grow up and make wiser and more careful choices regarding their future spouse...”14 If this isn’t an approval, and even encouragement, of spousal abuse and violence in the home, then nothing is. Another example of violence and hatred in the home can be seen in a video produced by Jonathan Guzman, who apparently attends Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Although the church is pastored by Steven Anderson protégé Jonathan Shelley who presents sermon after sermon filled with hatred and violence, the fact that Jonathan Guzman’s sermon was allowed and even approved of (as demonstrated by the number of hearty “amen!” and “preach it!” comments from the congregation), is evidence that the hatred and violence inherent within the New IFB is not confined to Steven Anderson’s church or his home. Jonathan Guzman is a child. While his actual age is unknown, based on his September 2018 sermon video, he appears to be between the ages of 10 and 13. Just a child. In his sermon, young Guzman screams and rants and pounds the pulpit like any other New IFB preacher, so that is almost expected. But what he says in his eight minute “sermon” is very disturbing. He literally screams that “all scientists are sodomites” and “reprobates.”15 As noted in this work, it is a common, and almost core doctrine of the New IFB, that all homosexuals (whom they almost exclusively refer to as sodomites) are reprobate – meaning they are beyond any hope of salvation; and, that all homosexuals are to be put to death. They deserve death, they should be put to death, and the world would be a better and safer place as soon as they all die. This is standard New IFB rhetoric. But apply that rhetoric to Jonathan Guzman’s “sermon,” which it almost certainly does apply given the New IFB influence on Guzman, and you begin to see the disturbing message that this young child is screaming from the pulpit: “All scientists are beyond the hope of salvation, and should be put to death.” This is a call, from a child, to return to the dark ages; and, it completely ignores the scientific contributions made by Christians, and the scientific aspects of Scripture itself. That Jonathan Guzman even developed this mentality cannot be attributed solely to his attendance in a New IFB church, or even his exposure to Steven Anderson and Jonathan Shelley. It must either come from his home, or at the very least is encouraged by his parents who have allowed him to both preach this “sermon” and post it to YouTube. Welcome to the next generation of hate and violence. Another of Steven Anderson’s protégés, the newly ordained pastor Bruce Mejia has tried his best to excuse all the violent hatred in the New IFB, by placing the blame on God. He teaches that all of the violent hatred in the New IFB is justified because, as he puts it, God hates. So if God hates, then so can they. In his video, “Hell is Proof that God Hates” (which is a clip from his sermon “Waging War Against the Sodomites” – a typical New IFB rant), Mejia says, “Now look. When is a time, when is it a time to love? At our church it’s Sunday afternoon. It’s on Thursdays, it’s on Saturdays. What is that? Preaching the gospel. Spend a good amount of hours out there, you know, talking about the love of God. Look, the Bible tells us, ‘Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee, and-that-I-gree* with those that rise up against thee, I hate them with perfect hatred. I count them mine enemies.’ Now don’t miss this. The Bible tells us here that David – this is a very bold statement – he hates them with perfect hatred. What does perfect mean in the Bible? It means complete. “Now look. I’ve known preachers of times past, they hated some things. But their hatred was incomplete. You know why? Because we’re supposed to hate sin, amen? Supposed to hate sin. We’re supposed to hate what sin does to people. But you know what? A perfect hatred also includes hating those who hate the Lord. [several in the crowd say, “that’s right!”] And what David’s basically saying here is, he has a complete mature hatred! He hates sin. He hates evil. He hates those who hate the Lord. ‘[you say] I don’t believe God hates.’ Have you heard of hell? [most of the crowd says yeah, yeah, and chuckle] You think it’s like just all roses and daisies, it’s just, the heater’s turned on [crowd laughs]. It’s hell [more laughing and people saying “yeah”]. “We need to recognize and stop, you know, having this weird perception that God is only love but He’s no hate. Hey, God is love and heaven is the expression of that. Everlasting life is the expression of that. Jesus Christ coming to die for us is the expression of that. But you know what? God also hates! Hell’s the proof! [crowd raises its voice with “Yeah” and “That’s right!”] God also hates! Damnation is proof! [Crowd gives its agreement] The Bible says in Psalm 97, verse 10, ‘Ye that love the Lord hate evil. He preserveth the souls of th..the saints, He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.’ Romans 12:9 says ‘let love be without dissimulation! Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.’ You know what this is telling us? That a hypocritical love is a love that claims that it don’t, that they don’t hate. That’s what that’s saying. “You know, I forgot what preacher said, he’s like, ‘Oh, you can’t say that you love everyone, if you love everyone, if you said you love everyone, you love nobody [crowd shares its agreement with, yeah, yeah, that’s right] and that’s fact [crowd: that’s right]. Because in order to love someone, there has to be an equal amount of hatred for those who would even desire to harm them.”16 [*One would think a preacher, a so-called “evangelist” (and recently ordained pastor) such as Bruce Mejia, would not slur his words when reciting God’s word. He should have said, “and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?” instead of “and-that-I-gree* with those that rise up against thee.”] But are we to hate others with “a perfect hatred,” a “mature hatred,” as Bruce Mejia claims? Perhaps the best person to answer this question is our Lord Jesus Christ, who said, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:43-45) This was not a new teaching that Jesus was introducing here in His Sermon on the Mount, but rather a reiteration of God’s law as found in Leviticus 19:18: “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.” “Thou shalt”. Not a suggestion, but rather a command. “Love thy neighbour” which means not just the person living next door, but fellow citizens, other people. And Jesus again reiterated this when He gave what the Bible calls the two greatest commandments: “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40) Again, “Thou shalt” demonstrates that this is not simply a suggestion, but rather it is a commandment. “Love thy neighbour.” The word here is, plēsion, which means any other person. It is the same word used in the Apostle Paul’s exposition of Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 22:36-40. Paul writes, “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” (Romans 13:8-10) Again, the word used here is plésion (πλησίον), and refers not simply to someone living in the house next door, but as Thayer’s Greek Lexicon points out, “any other person, … thy fellow-man, thy neighbor, … according to the teaching of Christ, any other man irrespective of race or religion with whom we live or whom we chance to meet (which idea is clearly brought out in the parable Luke 10:25-37).”17 As with many passages of Scripture, the New IFB gets biblical hate all wrong. They simply don’t understand it; or, don’t want to understand it. They prefer their own understanding, their own definition of biblical hate because they can apply it to their favorite past time which seems to be hating others. Unfortunately, they are using the Bible, or at least their faulty understanding of the Bible, to justify their sinful hatred. And sin is exactly what it is, for it is in direct contradiction to God’s repeated command to love their fellow human beings. Biblical hatred is not an expression of emotion such as with the New IFB, but rather it is to count someone as an enemy and show them disfavor. This is not to say you don’t help them if they need help, nor is it to say you should not love them. You simply do not love them as you love someone close to you such as a family member or a friend or a brother or sister in the Lord. You favor them with fellowship, but you do not show that kind of favor with an enemy, and that is what biblical hatred is. And this is what Psalm 139:21-22 teaches: “Do I not hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? And am I not grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with a perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.” Hating with a perfect hatred does not mean hating with a complete hatred as Bruce Mejia teaches; it means hating with the same kind of hatred that God has (“Do I not hate them, O LORD, that hate thee?). And how does God “hate” them that hate Him? He counts them as His enemies, and that is what the Psalmist clearly states. Those that hate God are those who are at enmity with Him, and those that hate God are also at enmity with God’s children. This is what the Psalmist is saying in Psalm 139:21-22. Those who treat God as an enemy will soon learn that God will treat them as an enemy as well. It is disfavor that God exhibits when Scripture teaches that God “hates” someone. It means He is at odds with them, they are His enemy, and He does not show them any favor. “Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated” (Romans 9:13). This does not mean that God harbored some emotional dislike for Esau, but rather that Esau was His enemy. Just as Esau still received general blessings such as good weather, good crops, etc.; those whom God counts as an enemy, those He disfavors, God does not favor them with fellowship and the love He has for His children. God does not rant and rail against homosexuals, and Mormons, and Calvinists, and Jeff Durbin, and James White, and Adam Fannin, and scientists calling them all reprobate that He hopes they all get brain cancer and die slow horrible deaths. Yet that is what Steven Anderson and his New IFB do, and they try to justify their hatred by saying God hates they way they do, that they are simply reflecting God’s hatred, that they are hating the way God hates. No. No they are not. They are hating more the way Satan hates, than the way God hates, as Scripture clearly teaches. They are in sin with their hatred. Grossly immoral sin. They are living in open rebellion against God, in direct disobedience to God. They are hating the way the world hates. They are being just exactly like the world in this regard, and Scripture speaks about that as well. James 4:4 states, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” And the New IFB, by acting like the world, is living in enmity with God, and is, therefore, an enemy of God. Now let’s review that CABQ (Christian Attitude & Behavior Quotient) which we examined at the beginning of this section, and determine just were Steven Anderson and his New IFB rate. Remember this is based on Romans 12:14-21, which states, “14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Does Steven Anderson, or anyone else in the New IFB exhibit these God-commanded attitudes and behaviors? Romans 12:14-21 can be broken down into thirteen questions we can call the “Christian Attitude and Behavior Quotient” test. Of course, this particular test is based only on this particular passage. If we were to employ all of Scripture the test would be significantly longer, and likely biased against Anderson and his New IFB. Therefore, we will stick with this “abbreviated” version. A quotient is a degree or amount of a specified quality or characteristic. So the higher the score on this “CABQ” test, the more Christian, or Christlike, the subject is. 1. Do they bless those who persecute them? 2. Do they refrain from cursing those who persecute them? 3. Do they rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep? 4. Are they impartial and of the same mind toward one another? 5. Do they avoid self-seeking, prideful attitudes? 6. Do they associate with the humble? 7. Are they wise in their own conceits, thinking themselves better or more spiritual or more righteous than others who profess Christ? 8. Are they vindictive and vengeful, repaying evil with evil? 9. Are they honest and respectful, providing these things to ALL men? 10. Do they live peaceably with ALL men? 11. Are they content to trust the Lord to avenge any and all wrongdoing done to them? 12. Do they care for the physical and spiritual needs of their enemies? 13. Do they overcome evil with good? To score this Christian Attitude and Behavior Quotient, or CABQ test, each correct answer is awarded one point, and each incorrect answer is awarded one negative point. Therefore, the best possible score is 13 (indicating the most Christlike based on this passage), and the worst possible score is 13 (indicating the least Christlike based on this passage). For example, if you are able to answer twelve questions correctly, you would have a score of 12; but by answering one question incorrectly, you would deduct one point, leaving you with a score of 11. If you answer ten questions correctly you would have a score of 10; but, answering the remaining three questions incorrectly means you deduct three points, leaving you with a score of 7. Christians should be able to answer yes to all of these questions except for numbers 7 and 8, which should be answered no. Granted, no one is perfect, and each Christian will be at a different level of maturity. Therefore, having even a low CABQ of 1 or 2 might indicate a relatively low level of Christian maturity, while a CABQ of 12 or 13 might indicate a very high level of Christian maturity. It is clear, that based on Romans 12:14-21, Steven Anderson and his New IFB would score at about -13. The worst possible score. This is not a personal determination alone, but a comparison of the teachings and behaviors of Anderson and the New IFB. Other passages which can be used to compare Steven Anderson and his New IFB to Scripture, which also reveal just how far removed the New IFB actually is from God and the Bible, are: Proverbs 25:21; Philippians 2:14-15; Ephesians 4:29; Galatians 5:16-21; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 John 3:7-10; 1 John 4:21; Luke 10:25-37; Luke 6:28; Romans 8:7-8; Proverbs 17:5; Psalms 1:1; 1 Corinthians 5:11,13; 1 Peter 3:8-12; Romans 1:28-32; Romans 14:1.

In the article Anderson wrote, “A lot of guys go out and start a church and then quit, and it’s a tragedy because we need more churches. If you are a young man who wants to become a pastor or missionary, you need to decide right now that you are going to finish what you start. When I started Faithful Word Baptist Church, it was hard. I had to knock a lot of doors to get visitors, and most of them didn’t stick.” In an ironic twist, an anonymous commentor wrote, “It was sad to see what happened with Soulwinning Baptist Nashville. ...Richard Miller preached some excellent sermons even back at FWBC.... The problem that I saw throughout all his sermons, which I now believe to be a pointer to what happened in Nashville, is that he never did lift up his voice like a trumpet. He stuck out like a clarinet between Pastor Romero's piercing bugle and Pastor Manly's booming tuba. I'm not knocking Richard as a Christian, but I just think his voice style pointed to his ability (perhaps not his willingness) to stand up and fight the good fight. I have more confidence in Brother Tyler's chances of success in Jacksonville because he does cry out loud indeed.” As we have seen in this series, both Tyler Baker and Donnie Romero failed in their ministries. And, like Richard Miller, both were hand picked and ordained and sent out by Steven Anderson. 4.

Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament by Joseph Henry Thayer, American Book Company, 1889, pp 518-519 Part 3g The New IFB Gets Political With all of this vitriolic hatred, one wonders if it is contained and confined to internet ranting and railing. The answer is no. This much hatred will naturally flow into other areas of the New IFBer’s life, as is evidenced by some of the sermons preached from the pulpit in New IFB churches, as well as the actions of some New IFBer’s.
On August 16, 2009, Steven Anderson preached a sermon titled, “Why I Hate Barack Obama,”1 during which he stated, “Barack Obama’s coming to town tomorrow morning. … And I’m gonna tell you something, I hate Barack Obama. You say, ‘you mean you just don’t like what he stands for.’ No! I hate the person! You say, “oh you just don’t like his policies.’ No! I hate him! Now, I’m gonna prove from the Bible tonight why I should hate Barack Obama, why God wants me to hate Barack Obama! Why God hates Barack Obama!” Anderson then attempts to justify his words by twisting Psalm 58 and other passages. He claims that because Obama approves of abortion, which sometimes uses a saline solution which Anderson claims causes an unborn baby to melt just as salt makes a snail melt, Obama is a reprobate beyond salvation and worthy of death and eternal damnation. I guess he expects people to ignore that salt does not melt babies and snails. It kills them yes, but it does not melt them. Perhaps he is employing some dramatic license. Of course, that would mean he is intentionally distorting the text of Scripture, but we’ll overlook that for the moment lest we find ourselves running down that rabbit trail. Anderson continues, “Let me tell you something. I don’t love Barack Obama. I don’t respect Barack Obama. I don’t obey Barack Obama, and I’d like to see Barack Obama melt like a snail tonight. Because he needs to recompense. He needs to reap what he’s sown. Any Christian will tell you that someone who commits murder should get the death penalty. Because that’s what it says in Genesis chapter nine, that’s what it says in the Mosaic Law, that’s what it teaches throughout the Bible. ‘Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God created he man.’ Of course, this isn’t word for word from Genesis 9:6, as Anderson added the word “created,” but again, let’s set his distortion of the text aside for a moment. He goes on, “And when Barack Obama is gonna push his partial birth abortion, his salty saline solution abortion, hey, he deserves to be punished for what he’s done, and I’m not gonna pray for God to bless Barack Obama, this is my prayer tonight for Barack Obama. You see, your prayer is never more right than when you pray God’s word. I don’t know if you know this, but many times I like to pray God’s word. … If somebody is gonna twist my arm behind my back and tell me pray for Barack Obama, this is what I’m gonna pray, because this is the only prayer that applies to him: ‘break his teeth O God, in his mouth! You know, as a snail which melteth, let him pass away like the untimely birth of a woman, that he thinks, he calls it a woman’s right to choose, you know, he thinks it’s so wonderful, he oughta be aborted! It oughta be Abort Obama! It oughta be the motto.” Okay, let’s stop for just a moment to point out the obvious. Did Barack Obama kill someone? Or did he make it legal to kill someone? There is an important distinction here. Yes, what Obama did was certainly evil, and he will likely face punishment at the great white throne judgment for what he has done. But let’s not use that fact as justification for distorting other facts. If Anderson is going to hold people guilty for the sinful and criminal actions of others simply because they provided the possibility for them to engage in those sinful and criminal actions; then he is also going to have hold every Walmart that sells sharp knives accountable for the actions of those who stab people to death. He is going to have to hold every sporting goods store that sells firearms accountable for the actions of those who shoot people. Do you see the logic (or lack of logic) in Anderson’s thinking? Anderson continues, “Look, people who are bloody and violent are evil people. I mean, do you love Adolph Hitler? Do you love Joseph Stalin? Do you love Mao Tse Tung? Do you love these evil sadistic butchers of history? No! If you were to meet Jeffrey Dahmer in real life, if you were to meet John Wayne Gacy, or if Adolph Hitler could come back from the dead and be in church, I’m sure you’d go and shake his hand and tell him it’s good to have you. No! The Bible said in Hosea 9:14, ‘Throw them out of the congregation of the Lord, I will love them no more!’2 Violent, bloody, wicked people, He’s sayin’ get them away from me!” … “Barack Obama is one of the rulers of the darkness of this world.” … “He’s a Pentecostal Charimatic. Didn’t you see his pastor wearing a dress? Woooooooo!” … “and yet you’re gonna tell me that I’m supposed to pray for the socialist devil, murderer, infanticide, who wants to see young children, and he wants to see babies killed through abortion and partial birth and all these other things, and you’re gonna tell me I supposed to pray that God would give him a good lunch tomorrow while he’s in Phoenix, Arizona. Nope. I’m not gonna pray for his good. I’m gonna pray that he dies and goes to hell. When I go to bed tonight, that’s how I’m gonna pray. And you say, ‘are you just sayin’ that?’ No. When I go to bed tonight Steven L. Anderson is gonna pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell.” Okay, we have to stop once again and look at what Anderson has said here. First, his comparing Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, who actually ordered the deaths of millions of people, to Barack Obama who made it possible for those who want to kill babies to be able to do so legally. Then he compares Obama to Dahmer and Gacy who actually did the killing themselves. Again, did Barack Obama actually plunge a knife into someone, or inject a baby with saline? Did he actually kill someone? No, of course not. Nor did he order anyone to kill babies or anyone else. Then Anderson quotes Hosea 9:14. Or at least he claims he is quoting Hosea 9:14. Only he isn’t. Just as he twists the Scriptures noted above, he really misquotes this passage. He quotes Hosea 9:14 as, “Throw them out of the congregation of the Lord, I will love them no more!” Which sounds good, and sounds like it supports what he is saying. But the passage actually states, “Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.” Not even close, is it? What he is trying to quote, but still doesn’t get right, is Hosea 9:15, which states, “All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.” This passage is speaking about the Assyrian conquer of Israel, which was brought about by God because of Israel’s gross immorality and idolatry. This isn’t even remotely supportive of what Anderson is teaching. What’s more, Israel was brought back. So, if Anderson is comparing Obama to Israel, he must then believe that God caused Obama to do this as punishment for Obama’s immorality and idolatry, and that Obama can be brought back as well. But that conflicts with Anderson’s earlier statement that Obama was a reprobate beyond salvation! There is nothing in this passage of Scripture, or any passage of Scripture, that supports Anderson railing against Barack Obama. Anderson then goes on in his sermon, ranting and railing about how unjust war is, and how wrong it is to pay taxes, and reciting Declaration of Independence at the top of his lungs. He goes from preaching what is supposed to be the Bible (but obviously isn’t), to releasing his inner “True Born Sons of Liberty” persona (an anti-government “Tea Party”/Militia/Sovereign Citizen/“Patriot” style organization founded by Steven Anderson in the early 2000’s). Anderson begins screaming, “We are not revolutionaries, we’re not trying to overthrow the government. We are counter-revolutionaries, because the revolution is what’s going on right there in Phoenix at 8am tomorrow where Obama is overturning the Constitution. Overturning the Declaration of Independence. Overturning everything we believe as a country. Overturning two hundred and some years of history. He is the revolutionary, and it’s a socialist, communist revolution. We are the counter-revolutionary's saying, NO! We don’t want change! We want to go back to the way it was started! A country under God! A free country! A country of liberty and justice for all! Anybody, everyone, whatever their race, whatever their citizenship, HEY! They’re BORN with liberty! Created with liberty! The government doesn’t give us our liberty, the government is only supposed to protect our liberty. Our liberty comes from God.” Anderson goes on, “So I hope tonight you understand why I hate Barack Obama. Don’t tell me to love him, don’t tell me how I’m to love him, I’m a loving guy. … And you know what, God does not love the pedophile, and the rapist, and the bloody and deceitful worker of iniquity. He said He hates ’em. And I believe the Bible, that He hates them. I believe God looks down and says, ‘Man, I hate that guy.’ You say, ‘Well, why is he in office?’ Because you know what? God allows this world to run its course. I mean, He’s not up there..if He were it’d be a much better place. One day He will. It’s called the millennium, when Jesus will rule this world. ‘Oh Jesus’ up on His throne, everything’s okay.’ When His throne is on this earth, everything will be okay. A thousand years of peace. No blood will be shed during that thousand years. It’s going to be a peaceful time on this earth. Even the lion will lay down with the lamb. Even the animal kingdom will not destroy one another. It’s gonna be a wonderful time. But today there is spiritual wickedness in high places. Now, I’m preaching against Barack Obama, it’s not all him. But he is just the tip of the sword, okay? He is the figurehead of spiritual wickedness in high places. And he’s comin’ to Arizona tomorrow. Don’t go there and scream and cheer for him. I know people are planning on it. Don’t go there and get a tear in the eye. No, go to the prayer closet and get a tear in the eye for our country. And if I go there, which I’m not ’cause I’m busy tomorrow, but if I went there I’d be there to say ‘Down with Obama!” okay? You know, I’d be down there protesting Obama and all. But I’m not really a protest kind of guy. I’m a preacher. And so I’m preaching to you what the Bible teaches tonight. Take it and let it sink down into your ears.”3 In less than 24-hours it became very clear that at least one person in his congregation let that sink down into his ears. Chris Broughton, one of Anderson’s followers and a member of his church, arrived at Obama’s appearance with a fully loaded AR-15 slung over his shoulder and a loaded semi-automatic handgun prominently displayed on his hip. Prior to this, another so-called “Patriot”, William Kostric, showed up at a similar Obama health care rally in New Hampshire. What’s the connection you may ask? Both Kostric and Broughton are members of the Arizona chapter of “We the People,” an anti-government “Tea Party”/Militia/Sovereign Citizen/“Patriot” style organization similar to Anderson’s “True Born Sons of Liberty” (Kostric had moved to New Hampshire by the time Broughton attended the Arizona rally).4 In July 2009, just one month prior to his “I Hate Barack Obama” rant sermon, Anderson was at a “Tea Party” rally in Gilbert, Arizona where he spoke to hundreds of Chris Broughton’s and William Kostric’s, telling them about how he has spilled his blood for the liberty of America (neglecting to mention that he brought it upon himself by both breaking the law and violating Scripture in the process), and that the government, specifically Barack Obama, was the enemy and must be stood up to.5 Anderson also has a connection to the Arizona chapter of the We the People organization, the same organization Chris Broughton has admitted belonging to, and which William Kostric is known to have belonged to. In April 2009, just months before Anderson’s infamous Obama sermon and his attendance at a “Tea Party” rally, he was involved (at his instigation) in an incident involving the Border Patrol and Arizona DPS officers. Prior to this incident, Anderson had a long history of intentionally baiting Border Patrol and law enforcement officers and hindering from doing their job at legal check points. He would purposely attract the attention of these officers when arriving at a check point, knowing full well they would react by pulling him over to check his driver’s license, and so forth. Anderson admits he had been doing this for months prior to the incident where he was tazed, and he also has numerous videos posted to his YouTube channel documenting this long term pattern of doing this.6 When pulled over, however, Anderson would begin to refuse to comply with their requests, ostensibly standing up for his Constitutional rights. In other words, he made an issue out of a non-issue. This is typical behavior for those involved in the “Tea Party”/Militia/Sovereign Citizen/“Patriot” type movements. Create a situation, become involved in the situation, push law enforcement to react, and then when they do react, scream as loud as possible that they are being victimized by bully boy police. And this is exactly what Steven Anderson did in April 2009. After repeatedly baiting the Border Patrol and other Law Enforcement officers, hoping they would react, in April 2009 they finally did, and almost immediately out came the victim card; and also almost immediately, Anderson began making the rounds among various “Patriot” groups, telling the story of how he has shed his blood standing up for the United States Constitution, and encouraging others to do the same.7 After his arrest and being charged, Anderson engaged the services of Marc J. Victor, and attorney who specializes in these types of cases, and who is also connected to the We the People group that Chris Broughton is connected to. Victor is connected through a man by the name of Ernest Hancock, the founder of the Freedom’s Phoenix organization.114 Previously, Victor had helped a young man by the name of Jason Shelton, who uses the pseudonym Shelton Obadiah and goes by “4409” on YouTube. Anderson at one time had many of Obadiah’s videos in his favorite video list, all of them revolving around one subject – you guessed it, how to incite the police during stops and at check points.115 Anderson has since made those videos either private or removed them altogether from his YouTube channel. It was Ernest Hancock who proudly exclaimed in a broadcast interview with Anderson that he would be ensuring Anderson received the best legal representation during his impending court case. That legal representation was Marc Victor.116 Hancock himself is affiliated with the We the People organization8, the same “counter-revolutionary” organization Anderson’s congregant, Chris Broughton, and also William Kostric are affiliated with. So for Broughton to say Anderson had no influence on him when he decided to openly bear loaded semi-automatic firearms to a Barack Obama rally is far-fetched to say the least. Anderson was clear when he stated that “God hates Barack Obama” and that he hates Barack Obama, and that Obama hates God. Something one of his congregants parroted when he said, “I hate people that hate God.” Broughton, however, claims Anderson’s hate message was the motivation for his attending the Obama rally armed to the teeth. Broughton told a reporter with the Arizona Republic, “I want attention brought to the ideas that I espouse. … I don't think the political process works anymore. It is done. . . . This government is the most corrupt Mafioso on the face of the Earth. … It's as simple as this. The people who support government, the ones who like government, they are using government like a weapon. The government continues to take over more and more things.” Broughton went on, however, to tell the Associated Press that he “absolutely” agreed with Anderson’s anti-Obama sentiments, and that he wanted Obama to die.9 Scary stuff, even ten years after the incident. Primarily because Steven Anderson and his New IFB is still preaching hate. Christopher Broughton’s armed to the teeth mentality is not limited to presidential rallies by the way. It has been reported that he sometimes brings his AR-15 with him to worship at Anderson’s Faithful Word Baptist Church. While the average person might think this is unusual, for Anderson’s church it is standard operating procedure. You see, Anderson encourages it. In fact, in December 2014, he preached from the pulpit that “every Christian should own a weapon” and in November 2017 he explained in a YouTube video (taken from one of his many violence advocating sermons, that he not only allows, but encourages his congregants to be armed with a firearm when in attendance at his church, treating both the open and concealed carrying of firearms almost as if they were sacraments in his church.10 Part 3g Sources: 1.

Unlike his campaigns against others, Anderson’s campaign against Adam Fannin was not confined to YouTube videos. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Steven Anderson had embarked on a personal vendetta against Fannin, and engaged in a conspiracy with others to do everything in his power to destroy Adam Fannin. As previously noted, on January 3, 2019, Steven Anderson called a meeting of the men of Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Five men showed up for that meeting. One of them, who has asked to remain anonymous, stated that during this meeting Anderson revealed Donnie Romero’s sins; specifically that he had stolen $50,000 from the church, was gambling at casinos, drinking, doing drugs, and engaging the services of prostitutes. Anderson then told the men not to say anything to anyone because, “we need to keep Donnie out of jail.”1 According to Steven Anderson himself, the churches in the New IFB are considered autonomous, and therefore independent from all other New IFB churches.2 However, noted Anderson, when a church has no pastor, it is no longer independent.3 When Anderson arrived at Stedfast Fort Worth, and removed Donnie Romero, he effectively removed Stedfast’s independence and placed it under the authority of his own church. At that point, for all intents and purposes, Stedfast became a satellite of Faithful Word Baptist Church, thus empowering Anderson to effect any change he personally desired. One of the first those changes was the firing of Adam Fannin. Anderson states that when he fired Fannin on the morning of January 4, 2019, he was “respecting the wishes of the incoming Pastor, who was Pastor Shelley."4 Anderson claims, "He and I were in communication, in one accord, and we were the legitimate leadership of the church.”5 Look at that statement again, and remember the date in question, Friday, January 4, 2019. Anderson fired Adam Fannin at 12:10pm Jacksonville, Florida time. That was at 11:10am Fort Worth, Texas time on that date.  Anderson stated that at that time, at 11:10am on Friday January 4, 2019, Jonathan Shelley was the incoming pastor and they -- Anderson and Shelley -- were the "legitimate leadership of the church." Not the men of Stedfast Baptist Church, but Anderson and Shelley. In an interview with Jonathan Shelley, he admitted that he was the only candidate for the position of pastor for Stedfast.6 There were no other candidates, no one else was ever considered. And this was all before the meeting that Anderson called for later that evening, and certainly before the meeting Anderson called for the following night where he talked about bringing in Jonathan Shelley and the men of Stedfast “decided” to accept Shelley as their new pastor. They may think they decided who would be their new pastor, and they may think Steven Anderson only suggested Jonathan Shelley for the position; but they would be wrong. Steven Anderson made that decision, and his decision was to install his protege Jonathan Shelley into the position of pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church. All those videos that Anderson and Shelley made where they claimed they had been in contact with Adam Fannin and keeping him the loop, and trying to get him to cooperate are really nothing more than setting the stage for what Anderson – with the help of Jonathan Shelley, was about to do. As has been noted, Anderson began with a series of videos he posted to YouTube from January 5-9, 2019, wherein he made accusations against Adam Fannin that moved from subtly implied to explicit, when he clearly accused Adam Fannin of theft, claiming the police were called, and condemning him for this alleged theft from the church. We now know that those accusations were all false. Fannin did not steal anything, and when interviewed, Ben “the Baptist” Naim was emphatic that the police were never once called on Adam Fannin. In other words, Steven Anderson lied. But not only did he lie and bear false witness against Adam Fannin, but he was also engaging in hypocrisy. Anderson had already made it clear that he knew Donnie Romero stole $50,000 from the church, and he also made it clear that he was not going to hold Romero accountable for this theft, and he took steps to cover it up by ordering the men at the meeting to not tell anyone about it. Clearly then, stealing from the church was not a serious crime in Anderson’s mind. Not even stealing $50,000. So any indignation Anderson presented to the camera for his anti-Adam Fannin assault videos was nothing more than hypocrisy. But it accomplished what Anderson was trying to achieve, and that was to turn the New IFB sentiment against Adam Fannin, and that is exactly what Steven Anderson did. It is amazing how easily so many in the New IFB are manipulated. At the same time, it is also very sad how easily so many in the New IFB are manipulated. Once he had Fannin removed from the New IFB, Anderson did not ease up in his campaign against Fannin. It was not long before two men from the Stedfast satellite church in Jacksonville, Florida began making the rounds of area casinos, allegedly seeking information about Donnie Romero and Adam Fannin. Whether they were under orders of Steven Anderson, or took it upon themselves to do this is a matter of conjecture. At the very least, however, they were there with Anderson’s full blessing. According to Anderson, the two men, Ben “the Baptist” Naim and Jeff Utzler, visited these casinos armed with photographs of Donnie Romero and Adam Fannin, allegedly to discover if they had been to the casinos.7 But we have to ask to what end? Romero had already confessed to visiting the casinos, so there was no question there, and nothing to learn. And, in an interview with Donnie Romero, he stated that when Anderson asked him if Fannin was involved in any way, Romero told him no. Adam Fannin was not involved, and that as far as he knew Fannin had never been in a casino in his life.8 In addition to this, Romero publicly stated in the comments section of his YouTube apology video, that Adam Fannin was innocent of any wrong doing.9  Clearly, Anderson had a separate agenda concerning Adam Fannin, and did not care one bit that Fannin was innocent. Exactly why Anderson was (and is) determined to see Adam Fannin destroyed is unknown, and it is likely the real reason will ever be known. However, by removing both Donnie Romero and Adam Fannin from the only two positions of leadership over Stedfast Baptist Church, and installing his sycophantic lap dog Jonathan Shelley as pastor, Anderson now gained complete control over Stedfast. This is similar to what happened at All Scripture Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. When the pastor of the church was removed and Steven Anderson installed Grayson Fritts as pastor in February 2018. There have been some who have denied Naim and Utzler actually visited any casinos, especially in light of Steven Anderson’s sermon where he clearly stated that all it takes is walking in through the doors of a casino places one “on a dark path, my friend, and who knows where you’re going to end up on that dark path. It all starts when you walk into that stupid casino. … Hey! Run screaming in the other direction because the Bible says, ‘Thou, o man of God flee these things!’ Flee them! Run away! Get away from that stuff! Don’t go near the casino!”10 “Who would disobey Pastor Anderson’s clear biblical teaching on this?” they ask. But it was Anderson himself who admitted they had done this, and they clearly had his blessing to do so.11 Additionally, when they were asked about their casino visit, not only did Naim and Utzler refuse to deny visiting the casino; but, Ben was quick to clarify which of the Stedfast men did not accompany him and Utzler12; and Utzler asked if we could thank the bartender for him, and tell her “the chicken fingers were delicious.”13  Interviews with local casino employees revealed that Ben Naim and Jeff Utzler did indeed visit them, armed with photos of two men (allegedly photos of Romero and Fannin). The casino employees we spoke with stated they did not recognize either Romero or Fannin. The bartender at the Best Bet Casino in Jacksonville said she remembers Naim and Utzler coming in and showing her the photos, and then staying for lunch.14
A former member of Stedfast Jacksonville who has asked to remain anonymous stated, “You know, I wouldn’t put it past them. I wouldn’t put it past them to try and frame him. It’s just super sad. I heard some rumors they were going to try some stuff like that to try and incorporate Bro. Fannin in Donnie Romero’s sin.”15 This individual went on to say that no one even had the idea to investigate Fannin, “until Shelley tried to fire Adam Fannin. When he first tried to fire Adam Fannin, I feel like at that point a switch went off in their minds, and they’re like, ‘ruin Adam Fannin’s life.’ I don’t think they care if they frame him, or if they are truthful or not, obviously. You can see it in their videos, they don’t care if they’re telling the truth or not. They’re just [throwing] everything they can at Adam Fannin. I mean, if the worst thing they can say against him is he’s a flatterer, you’re going to say he’s a reprobate, he’s unsaved because he’s a flatterer? I mean, like there’s no other flatterers? Ben the Baptist is like the biggest flatterer ever to some of those guys. He was to Adam Fannin too. I feel like they are just trying to ruin Bro. Fannin’s life.”16 When one takes into consideration the complete lack of evidence against Adam Fannin, coupled with Romero’s exoneration of him, and Anderson’s knowledge of that; Anderson’s actions in this situation are very suspect to say the least, and certainly demonstrate what kind of man he really is.

Ibid Part 3e Takin’ it to the Tube As can be seen, Steven Anderson and the New IFB have absolutely no problem attacking anyone they don’t like. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme nor reason, no guidelines they might follow when they determine they are going to attack someone. They might go after an individual and/or their family (such as the examples given), or they might go after a group of people such as the homosexual community (as we’ve already shown), or a different religion such as Hindus, Buddhists, or Mormons (the New IFB has produced “documentaries” condemning all of these). Or, they might go after Christians simply because they don’t like or agree with their doctrinal beliefs, such as Calvinists, who the New IFB has repeatedly mocked, belittled, and condemned via misrepresentations, caricaturizations, and other strawman arguments. Almost anyone outside the New IFB seems to be a target for Steven Anderson and his New IFB. Even this author has been targeted by them. They complained about a video, the single solitary video on my YouTube channel. They video exposed Jonathan Shelley’s self-aggrandizing, self-righteous, attitude by using Shelley’s own words in a video he produced. As soon as they became aware of it, they complained to YouTube en masse and the entire channel was removed.  Apparently they do not like being exposed for the false teachers they are. As you have no doubt noticed, the primary weapon utilized by Steven Anderson and the New IFB to display their vitriolic hatred are YouTube videos. This is not to say they are not vocally abusive to people in person, because they are. This is not to say they do not stalk people on the internet, as well as physically, because they do. This is not to say they don’t use child protective services as a weapon, calling CPS on those who disagree with them publicly, because they will. But the primary weapon they use to attack others are YouTube videos, and the primary purpose of these videos is character assassination, including defamation and slander. In this next chapter, we will take a look at some examples of the New IFB “Takin’ it to the Tube” brand of assault videos. Those attacked by Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement affiliated churches and followers seem to fall into three primary categories: 1. Unbelievers and Non-IFB Christians who either disagree with them, or whom they arbitrarily deem as reprobate (a label they toss around like a Frisbee at a beach party), which we have already addressed. 2. Old IFB who disagree with them 3. Former New-IFB who disagree with them Basically, the primary motivation for them to begin their video assault on someone is disagreement. If someone disagrees with them, they start making videos. And if they really don’t like someone, then they bring out the big guns: a YouTube video “documentary”! These are usually nothing more than compilation videos coupled with rantings, belittlement, mocking, and generally bashing the subject of the “documentary.” They generally last anywhere from thirty minutes to a couple hours in length, and they are usually produced by New IFB Steven Anderson sycophant Jeff Utzler. The same Jeff Utzler written about in a previous article in this series. Hatred, vitriol, malicious slander, public shaming, shunning, mockery, belittlement, ranting and railing are all tools employed by Anderson and his New IFB in these assault videos, and anyone who dares to disagree with them is attacked as a heretic and a reprobate beyond salvation. And they dare to call themselves “Christians.” Contrary to the apparent belief staunchly held by Steven Anderson and his New IFB, they are not the standard by which Christianity is measured. No, the actual standard, and final arbiter on who is and is not a Christian, and what is and is not Christian behavior is God; and He has set forth this standard in Scripture. So how does Scripture describe the attitude and behavior a Christian is to have toward others? One such description can be found in Romans 12:14-21, which states, “14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Does Steven Anderson, or anyone else in the New IFB exhibit these God-commanded attitudes and behaviors? Romans 12:14-21 can be broken down into thirteen questions we can call the “Christian Attitude and Behavior Quotient” test. Of course, this particular test is based only on this particular passage. If we were to employ all of Scripture the test would be significantly longer, and likely biased against Anderson and his New IFB. Therefore, we will stick with this “abbreviated” version. A quotient is a degree or amount of a specified quality or characteristic. So the higher the score on this “CABQ” test, the more Christian, or Christlike, the subject is. 1. Do they bless those who persecute them? 2. Do they refrain from cursing those who persecute them? 3. Do they rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep? 4. Are they impartial and of the same mind toward one another? 5. Do they avoid self-seeking, prideful attitudes? 6. Do they associate with the humble? 7. Are they wise in their own conceits, thinking themselves better or more spiritual or more righteous than others who profess Christ? 8. Are they vindictive and vengeful, repaying evil with evil? 9. Are they honest and respectful, providing these things to ALL men? 10. Do they live peaceably with ALL men? 11. Are they content to trust the Lord to avenge any and all wrongdoing done to them? 12. Do they care for the physical and spiritual needs of their enemies? 13. Do they overcome evil with good? To score this Christian Attitude and Behavior Quotient, or CABQ test, each correct answer is awarded one point, and each incorrect answer is awarded one negative point. Therefore, the best possible score is 13 (indicating the most Christlike based on this passage), and the worst possible score is -13 (indicating the least Christlike based on this passage). For example, if you are able to answer twelve questions correctly, you would have a score of 12; but by answering one question incorrectly, you would deduct one point, leaving you with a score of 11. If you answer ten questions correctly you would have a score of 10; but, answering the remaining three questions incorrectly means you deduct three points, leaving you with a score of 7. Christians should be able to answer yes to all of these questions except for numbers 7 and 8, which should be answered no. Granted, no one is perfect, and each Christian will be at a different level of maturity. Therefore, having even a low CABQ of 1 or 2 might indicate a relatively low level of Christian maturity, while a CABQ of 12 or 13 might indicate a very high level of Christian maturity. Keeping the attitude of Steven Anderson and the New IFB, and the CABQ test in mind, let’s take a look at some examples of “Takin’ it to the Tube!” After which, we will revisit the CABQ. First we will look at examples pertaining to those within the “Old” IFB. Sam Gipp1 As has been noted previously, Sam Gipp has been the subject of harassment at the hands of Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement for several years. From New IFB personality Jeff Utzler making prank calls to Gipp’s cell phone (as well as doxxing* Dr. Gipp by displaying his personal cell phone number); to a gang of New IFB thugs from Verity Baptist Church in Boise, Idaho (a Roger Jimenez church) descending on Dr. Gipp’s home to personally intimidate and harass him; to making a concerted effort to telephone all the churches that Dr. Gipp speaks at and trying to discredit Dr. Gipp – and sometimes threaten those pastors who host Dr. Gipp; to Steven Anderson and other New IFB folks producing numerous mocking and slanderous videos which they post publicly to YouTube. [*doxxing: The act of publishing personal and private information on the internet, usually with malicious intent. ] Steven Anderson has made the claim that Sam Gipp is deranged and obsessed with him. He apparently bases this on the videos that Dr. Gipp has made about Steven Anderson. One which exposes Anderson’s teachings and movement as false and cult-like, and the other that was made in response to one of Anderson’s anti-Gipp videos. However, when one compares the two videos Dr. Gipp has made about Steven Anderson to the twenty-nine videos Steven Anderson has made which mock, misrepresent, and slander Dr. Gipp; it is painfully clear who is psychopathically obsessed with whom. And this doesn’t begin to address the anti-Gipp videos produced and posted to YouTube by Jeff Utzler and other New IFB people who are following in Anderson’s footsteps. Bill Grady2 When Steven Anderson attacked Bill Grady (an evangelist based at Fellowship Baptist Church (located in Maryville, Tennesee, under the leadership of Pastor Tom Hatley) in his YouTube videos and from the pulpit, the rest of the Andersonites jumped on the band wagon, and began throwing the same accusations against Grady that Anderson had been throwing at him, and the dogpile on Bill Grady began. In all, there are a total of fourteen anti-Bill Grady videos designed to slander, defame, and discredit Bill Grady. All because he doesn’t believe the same unbiblical doctrines that Steven Anderson and the New IFB hold near and dear to their hearts. This is a perfect example of Anderson and the Andersonites swarming together to attack a common foe at the leading of Steven Anderson. Keith Gomez3 Keith Gomez is the pastor of Northwest Bible Baptist Church in Elgin, Illinois, an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. Note, IFB but not New IFB (Anderson’s movement). And because he is “old” IFB and friends with Dr. Sam Gipp and other “old” IFB pastors and preachers, pastor Gomez is automatically considered an enemy by Steven Anderson; and as has been noted, as Steven Anderson goes so goes the New IFB. Therefore, it is not unusual that other New IFB people jumped on the “Bash Pastor Gomez” bandwagon. To date, there are sixteen anti-Keith Gomez videos published to YouTube by Steven Anderson, Tommy McMurtry (New IFB pastor), and Paul Niven (The New IFB website). Bryan Denlinger4 One of the favorite kicking dogs of Steven Anderson and the New IFB is Bryan Denlinger, who is an independent Fundamental Baptist who has fashioned himself as an internet Bible teacher, and who uses the YouTube screen name “husky394xp”. Not only have there been numerous videos posted to YouTube bashing him, but many of the comments made by New IFB adherents have followed suit. As an example, in one video, titled, “Husky the Heretic Denies Salvation by Faith Alone” published by Ben “the Baptist” Naim in November 2018, Naim refers to Bryan as “Bryan Dinkhammer, Dinlinger, Dinklinker, Dingbat, Dinghammer,” and more. Naim says Bryan looks like a “demonic raccoon,” calls him a “moron,” and he mocks Bryan Denlinger by mimicking him and using what is apparently supposed to be the voice of a mentally disabled person (which Ben apparently thinks Bryan is). Representative of the comments made by New IFB adherents are: CassieRae McMurtry (wife of New IFB pastor Tommy McMurtry): I call him "Bryan Ding-donger" Sean Wallace: I call him dungslinger David Robinson: I call him Dumblinger. James MCMLXXXVI: Dunglicker Alberto Hernandez: I call him Brian Dungeater. Patiently Waiting: Dingleberry Florida Mark: Dumblooker Matt Powell [New IFB Preacher]: I hate Bryan Denlinger. Jacksmack77: .....blasphemous, unsaved devil. I can't tell who he looks like more: Burt or Ernie! What a hellbound bastard! Rozay: This husky guy should be taken out and slaughtered redlisab: "Professor" Dingledork Shawn Barnish: Dill-Lingerer Jeremy Gore: Brian dumpdumpster loonypics: Ding Clinke One viewer, however, actually took the high ground and called them out on their unchristian behavior. The person going by the YouTube screen name, “04inGoditrust04,” wrote, “Why are you name calling and picking on his appearance?” To date there are ten anti-Bryan Denlinger videos posted to YouTube by Ben Naim, Steven Anderson, Bruce Mejia, Paul Niven, Matt Powell, and “Guzman1611.” Of course, the New IFB does not limit their YouTube assaults to those in the Old IFB, as they are more than happy to launch attacks against almost each and every New IFB person who has found themselves kicked out of their movement for whatever reason (even when they weren’t really in their movement to begin with, but that’s another story). People like Garrett Kirchway, who they blasted with at least five videos5; and Tyler Doka who was slammed with six hate videos6; and Victor Tey, with eight videos against him7; and Domonique Davis, Gleb Glebov, Rick Martinez, Elliott Ray, and Russell Bopst with at least eight videos against them8. Perhaps the worst YouTube attacks committed by Steven Anderson and the New IFB, at least to date, have been against Tyler Baker, the pastor of Valiant Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida; and Adam Fannin, the pastor of Law of Liberty Baptist Church, also in Jacksonville, Florida. Tyler Baker9 Tyler Baker was initially ordained by Steven Anderson himself, as a deacon in Anderson’s Faithful Word Baptist Church. Anderson was in the process of training Baker to be a pastor in his own right. Anderson’s plan was to open a church plant in Jacksonville, Florida, and call it Valiant Baptist Church, with Baker as the pastor. In addition to training Baker to prepare sermons and preach, he also placed Baker in charge of his church’s finances, with Baker being in charge of tallying up the tithes and offerings from Anderson’s three Arizona churches as well as all of the online donations and ensuring all of the money was deposited into Anderson’s church account. There are many who like to point out that the account is in the church’s name, and not Steven Anderson’s, and that Anderson is nothing more than a paid employee of the church. However, as we have already discovered, Faithful Word Baptist Church is a non-profit corporation with Steven Anderson as CEO, President, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the only member of the Board of the Directors. He has no elder board, no governing board, no church board, and he answers to no one. He, and he alone makes all decisions regarding Faithful Word Baptist Church and that includes all decisions regarding any and all money coming into his church. In effect, Steven Anderson IS Faithful Word Baptist Church, therefore, every penny coming into the church is coming into Steven Anderson. All $120,000 per month (based on an average of total yearly donations divided by twelve), according to Tyler Baker, Anderson’s deacon in charge of finances. When Anderson changed his doctrine of God and went from teaching modalism to tri-theism, he almost immediately fired Baker for believing in a modalistic view of God. At least this is Anderson’s explanation (although he denies ever teaching modalism, in spite of the mountain of video evidence to the contrary). His explanation doesn’t make much sense, however, when one considers Baker simply believed the exact same modalistic doctrine that Anderson had taught him, and every other person in his church. When Anderson fired Baker on June 19, 2017, a video was taken of the incident, during which the actual reason Anderson fired Baker was revealed. In the video Anderson can be seen screaming at Baker, making threatening and intimidating gestures, and calling Baker just about everything but a child of God. In the video Anderson can be seen telling Baker that he hated working with him, that his behavior was “unf******g believable,” that he “s****d” as an employee, saying “I have been this close to firing you every month, the only reason I kept you around was I didn’t want to rock the boat ’cause you’re leaving anyway.” He went on saying, “If I had to work with you the rest of my life I would have fired you a long time ago. You are lazy! You s**k! You’ve never done anything that I’ve told you to do beyond the minimum. ...At the best of times you’re a C minus.” He repeatedly told Baker he was a liar, especially when he confronted Baker about something Baker had allegedly said and Baker denied it. And here it was revealed that Anderson lost control and lost his temper simply because of a false allegation made against Tyler Baker. Sound familiar? The same thing happened with the Berg family. Someone came to Anderson and told him that Tyler Baker was going around behind Anderson’s back and “talking crap” about Anderson’s church and that his (Baker’s) church was going to be so much better. The little worm-tongue whispering in Anderson’s ear also told him that Baker was promoting oneness Pentecostalism to people behind Anderson’s back. Anderson becomes so incensed when he thinks or hears someone is talking behind his back and without his permission (whether true or not true), that he doesn’t take the time to investigate (although he claims he does, we now know better) the claims, and he immediately takes them at face value. This is why, according to the video, he fired Tyler Baker. Anderson continued to circle Baker, railing at him, saying, “You’re an idiot...You’re a liar, your testimony s**ks!” Anderson told him. Anderson’s tirade continued with him telling Baker, “You don’t do anything I tell you! You do nothing! What the h**l do you do for fifty hours last week? You think you can do whatever the h**l you want! You s**k as an employee! You lazy jerk!...You s**k! You s**k! You’ve s****d from the beginning! You’ve always s****d! I told my wife that you’re a C minus when you started, and I told Pastor Jimenez. I told my wife and my one best friend that you’re a bad employee, and I told them that a year ago.” Now this is an important piece of information. According to the video, Anderson fired Tyler Baker on June 19, 2017. If he told his wife and Roger Jimenez a year prior that Baker was a bad employee, then that would mean at least as early as June 2016 Steven Anderson knew, or at least believed, that Tyler Baker was not pastor material, and throughout that ensuing year, up until the day he fired Baker, a mere six weeks before he planned to send Baker to Jacksonville, Florida to start a church as the pastor of that church plant, Anderson believed that Baker was a bad employee, that he “s****d,” that he was “lazy,” and that at best he was a “C minus.” Think about that for a minute. How poorly must Steven Anderson think of the people of Jacksonville, Florida that we was willing to send to them someone he did not believe was pastor material, to be their new pastor? Apparently Anderson doesn’t hold the people of Jacksonville in very high regard. After he left Faithful Word Baptist Church and the clearly tyrannically unhinged Steven Anderson, Tyler Baker returned to his home church, New Macedonia Baptist Church in Newport, Kentucky where, eight months later in February 2018 Baker was ordained; and, in March 2018 he was sent to Jacksonville, Florida to start a new church which Baker named Valiant Baptist Church. After FWBC, baker returned to Northern Kentucky, and then to New Macedonia Baptist Church in Newport, Kentucky, his home church, where he was ordained in February 2018. In March 2018, he was sent to Jacksonville to start a church, which he named Valiant Baptist church. Concerned that Baker would do this very thing, Anderson tried to thwart his plans by ordering Donnie Romero, then the pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas (whom Anderson had ordained and sent to Fort Worth to start Stedfast) to start a new church plant in Jacksonville, Florida. Romero complied and in August 2017 he started Stedfast Baptist Church Jacksonville, a church which later split when it was discovered Romero had been involved with gambling, prostitutes and illegal drugs. Apparently Steven Anderson was developing a habit of sending people he either believed or actually were not pastor material to Jacksonville. Almost immediately upon his firing the “let’s-bash-Tyler-Baker” videos began to appear on YouTube. Initially coming from Anderson and others at his Tempe, Arizona church; it was not long before the rest of the New IFB jumped on the railing bandwagon, all of them seemingly trying to out do the others in slandering Tyler Baker. To date there are at least a whopping fifty-six of these video assaults dedicated to slandering, smearing, and slamming Tyler Baker. Fifty-Six! And all of it started because some unnamed person started whispering false accusations into Steven Anderson’s ear, and rather than doing his due diligence as a pastor and investigating the accusations, Anderson chose to just fly off the handle and attack his own deacon. Adam Fannin10 The “Adam Fannin” situation is a bizarre one to say the least. In August 2017, Donnie Romero, the pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas ordained Adam Fannin as an evangelist, and sent him out to Jacksonville, Florida to start a church plant called Stedfast Baptist Church Jacksonville (commonly known as Stedfast Jax).
On Wednesday, January 2, 2019, Donnie Romero resigned as the pastor of Stedfast church, after admitting to visiting casinos and gambling, engaging the services of prostitutes, and using illegal drugs. The following day, on Thursday, January 3, 2019, Steven Anderson notified the world via a YouTube video (of course) of Donnie Romero’s sin and subsequent fall from NIFB grace. When Romero’s wife discovered what her husband had been up to, she notified Steven Anderson and asked him to come to Fort Worth to handle the situation. This was an odd turn of events in that she should have gone to the more mature men of her own church, and asked them to take over the day to day operations of the church because of her husbands indiscretions. Calling the pastor of what is supposed to be an unaffiliated church more than 1,000 miles away would be a serious breach of church protocol in any normal church. Of course, we aren’t talking about a normal church, we are talking about the New IFB, which is, in spite of what they claim, the very essence of a denomination and with Steven Anderson as its de facto leader. Anderson immediately traveled to Fort Worth and established himself there as the interim pastor of Stedfast. Whether officially or autocratically the result was the same. He was making the decisions, and was the one who ordered Romero to step down. He was there for that Wednesday night service, and in what was ostensibly a magnanimous gesture offered himself to the folks of Stedfast as a guiding light in their time of trouble. One can almost see the wolf-like smile on his face. On Thursday night, Anderson called together the men of Stedfast church for a closed door meeting. He insisted that no one record the meeting, and also insisted that no one was to talk about what was discussed during that meeting. The meeting must have been called on short notice, because only five men attended in addition to Anderson. They were Steven Harper, Jesse Michael, John Stebner, Emanuel Zermano, and Kevin Edelmann. According to one of these men, who agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity, stated Anderson explained to them the extent of Romero’s wrong doing, which apparently included embezzeling as much as $50,000 from the church. Anderson then instructed the men not to talk to anyone about Romero’s financial crimes because, “we have to keep Donnie out of jail.” Anderson used a grossly twisted eisegesis of 1 Corinthians chapter 6 (Christians are not to take other Christians to court to settle their grievances) as biblical support for this. At some point during all of this, someone either made an off hand comment, or asked the question, or made a patently false accusation about Adam Fannin possibly or actually being involved in Romero’s sins. As we have repeatedly seen, it doesn’t take much for a single comment to worm its way into Anderson’s mind, and niggle around until he manages to form a full fledged conspiracy surrounding it. And, as we have also repeatedly seen, Anderson never actually investigates situations such as this, preferring instead to simply assume he is right in whatever imagined scenario he can conjure up. However it happened, on Friday, January 4, 2019, at 12:10pm Jacksonville, Florida time (11:10am Fort Worth, Texas time), Steven Anderson sent a text message to Adam Fannin giving him two choices. One he can leave Stedfast, or two he can stay. Anderson went on to write, however, “If you stay with Stedfast, you are fired. Pastor Shelley is on the same page. Those are your two choices.” Wait, what? Who said anything about Shelley? At this point Jonathan Shelley was the pastor of Pure Words Baptist Church in Houston, Texas (where Anderson had sent him), and had nothing to do with Stedfast. In fact, on this same day Jonathan Shelley posted a video to YouTube titled, “Stedfast Baptist Church Jacksonville – Adam Fannin” during which he states he is not the pastor of Stedfast. He makes comments offering himself, although he doesn’t really want to move there; and, “if I take on Stedfast,” so it is clear that at this point Jonathan Shelley had no authority whatsoever at Stedfast. In fact, it wasn’t until the night of January 4, 2019 that it was decided by Steven Anderson – or rather the men of Stedfast as led by and told by Steven Anderson, to bring in Jonathan Shelley as the new pastor of Stedfast Baptist Church. Anderson called a second closed door meeting for that night at about 7pm, again for the men of Stedfast. The meeting lasted about three hours and at the end of it Shelley was the new pastor of Stedfast. Interestingly, Steven Anderson has said he had no way to include the men of Stedfast Jax in the closed door meeting. However, this has been shown to be a lie (not unusual for Steven Anderson) as the men of Stedfast Jax were holding their own meeting at the exact same time, and they actually telephoned Stedfast Fort Worth during the joint meeting and spoke with Jonathan Shelley via conference call and on an open speaker. The Stedfast Jax meeting was recorded, including this conference call, and including the questions that were asked of Jonathan Shelley, and including Shelley hanging up on the men of Stedfast Jax as if they mattered not one whit to him. Naturally, this did not sit well with the majority of the men of Stedfast Jax, and they opted to not accept Jonathan Shelley as their new long distance pastor and losing Adam Fannin, the man who had been their “pastor” in all but title to an arbitrary dismissal at the hands of someone who essentially took over without any actual authority. For Steven Anderson this was all the proof he needed to believe Fannin was guilty of all manner of nefarious deeds. This can be seen in a series of videos produced by Steven Anderson and posted to YouTube between early Saturday morning, January 5, 2019 and the evening of Wednesday, January 9, 2019; wherein he makes all manner of comments about Adam Fannin that begin somewhat negative, but benign, and progressing to out and out accusations by the end of those four days. On Saturday, January 5, 2019, earlier in the day, Anderson posts a video to YouTube titled, “Update on Stedfast Baptist Church.” In this video Anderson begins by talking about his impending installation of Jonathan Shelley as the pastor of the three Stedfast churches. He soon moves into talking about Adam Fannin, however, pointing out that Fannin is obstinately trying to sabotage the process, rebelling and being divisive. Anderson paints himself has the helpless victim being slandered and opposed when all he is trying to do is mediate between Fanning and Shelley. Something Fanning is working hard against according to Anderson. Anderson ends the video by saying, “I’m hoping [Adam Fannin] will do the right thing and step down and resign...I still hope he can do the right thing and everybody can stay friends.” This is, of course, about as disingenuous as it can possibly be. What Anderson has chosen to withhold from his following of loyal but gullible groupies is that he doesn’t hope Adam Fannin will “do the right thing and step down and resign” because he unceremoniously fired Adam Fannin almost twenty-four hours prior to making this video! This entire “Update on Stedfast Baptist Church” is a sham. It is nothing more than a build-up to the increasingly virulent video attacks he is about to launch on Adam Fannin. Later that same afternoon (January 5, 2019) Anderson uploads a video titled, “Adam Fannin Lies.” In this video we see the beginning of Anderson’s implied assertions. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it is a legal term defined as “a statement that is not express, but is instead implicated from the context in which the statement is made.” Legally, implied assertions are considered hearsay, and as such as not considered to be reliable. In spite of the lack of reliability in what Anderson says about Fannin, his message is clear: Fannin is guilty unless and until he can prove himself innocent. In the video, “Adam Fannin Lies,” Anderson states, “The Vast majority of the sins of Romero took place in Jacksonville, Florida. That’s what all the evidence shows, that’s what he himself said. So this has been a pattern of every time he goes to Jacksonville, these things are going on. So how are we supposed to know that Adam Fannin is not involved in this?” Of course, there is no way to know if Adam Fannin was involved other than asking both Fannin and Romero, as they would be the only ones with any knowledge of any involvement Fannin may have had. And barring any evidence to the contrary, there is no reason to suspect Fannin of any wrong doing, and yet, that is exactly what Anderson does, and he says as much in this statement. Anderson then goes to attempt to mitigate his accusation of Fannin by saying, “Now I’m not accusing him of that, and if anyone accuses him of that without evidence they’re wrong.” Well, of course they are wrong. But this is exactly what Anderson is doing here. He is implicitly accusing Adam Fannin of participating in Donnie Romero’s sins. Anderson confirms this with his next statement: “But at the same time, when there’s all of these squirrelly things going on financially, and when the sins were taking place in Jacksonville, Florida, and every single person I talk to here in Fort Worth says that Romero and Fannin are like two peas in a pod and that they were best buddies, super close, he was the only person Romero was close to, that’s what everyone here is telling me; why would I just be in a hurry to just make sure that Adam Fannin’s up to speed on everything, and keep him in the loop and everything...NO.” Anderson continues, “If the books are audited by a third party, which has to happen, they’re either going to implicate or exonerate Adam Fannin. If the books show, and if the documentation shows that Adam Fannin was not involved then I’ll be the first to say, don’t accuse him of anything. And, if the books show that he’s guilty, obviously he’s going to be condemned.” Anderson’s meaning here is clear. In his mind, Adam Fannin is guilty unless and until he can prove himself innocent. “If all the sin is taking place predominantly in Jacksonville, Florida,” Anderson says, “and his name is on one of the bank accounts, you know, we just need to wait and see what the independent auditor says.” Just to be sure those of his followers who are watching this video understand, the evidence is stacked against Adam Fannin in Anderson’s mind, even before any investigation is done. This mindset tells you exactly what the conclusions of any investigation are going to be, and that is one of Adam Fannin’s guilt. Regardless of where the investigation leads, regardless of what the evidence reveals, in Anderson’s mind Fannin is as guilty as sin; and he cements this in his closing statement, “You weren’t being told [about any financial decisions regarding the church Fannin was pastoring], Adam Fannin, because I don’t trust you, other people don’t trust you, and based on your behavior you keep proving us right. Why are you so interested in getting into the finances and being involved in the finances?” The very next day, in his Sunday, January 6, 2019 morning service titled, “As A Dog Returneth To Its Vomit,” Anderson removes all doubt as to what he thinks about Adam Fannin when he says, “There is a wicked element in Jacksonville, they need to go their own way” and leave. On Monday, January 7, 2019, the day after declaring “there is a wicked element in Jacksonville,” Anderson removed any doubt as to whom he was referring. In a video titled, “Audit of Financial Records in Jacksonville Complete,” Anderson begins by complaining about the way Donnie Romero, the pastor of Stedfast Jacksonville, handled the weekly tithes and offerings. According to sources, Romero’s instructions were for church ushers to collect the tithes and offerings and place them into a zippered cash bag. Adam Fannin would then take and count them, notify Romero of the amount, and then deposit them in the bank. Now, granted this is clearly an odd way to manage the weekly tithes and offerings, but it is the way in which Pastor Donnie Romero wanted it done. Considering he was found to be embezzling money from his church, it is easy to understand why he wanted the money handled in this manner. Of course, some might question why Adam Fannin did not question Romero’s method of handling the tithes and offerings, and why he didn’t just do things the proper and correct way; but, it bears remembering that in the New IFB questioning the methods of the pastor is considered a grievous sin. Steven Anderson himself has publicly shamed some of his congregants and thrown them out of his church for doing this very same thing. One simply does not question the pastor regarding the way in which he is running his church. It simply isn’t done in the New IFB. And so Adam Fannin did not question Romero’s methods, and simply obeyed him. However, because Anderson clearly had an agenda when it came to Adam Fannin, he used Fannin’s obedience to his pastor as ammunition to verbally eviscerate Fannin. After complaining about the way in which Romero had Fannin handle the tithes and offerings, he states, “What in the world would stop him from just shoving large amounts of cash in his pocket every week and it doesn’t even make it to the bank!” While this may be true, there is nothing to indicate that Fannin is doing this, or has ever done this. No evidence whatsoever. Yet that doesn’t stop Anderson from making such an implied assertion. Anderson says, “There has been financial fraud that has taken place at Stedfast Jacksonville. There’s no doubt anymore. …And that explains Adam Fannin’s bizarre behavior. …Adam Fannin IS involved in the dishonest financial practices, and he needs to be investigated [to see] whether he’s been involved in the gambling, and the hookers, and everything else, because he was right there with Romero in this shady financial practice.” According to Anderson’s videos, all of these assertions being made by him are based on one or two unsubstantiated text messages to Jonathan Shelley from Joe Uyakim, who was the loudest and most enthusiastic supporter of Jonathan Shelley and the most vociferous opponent of Adam Fannin at Stedfast Jacksonville, during the meeting on January 4, 2019. As can be clearly seen here, Steven Anderson very methodically begins his attempt to discredit and destroy Adam Fannin through a series of YouTube videos. He begins be presenting himself as a helpful and well meaning man of God, just trying to help Stedfast church in its time of turmoil and trouble, hoping that Adam Fannin will get on board with the program and accept the leadership of Jonathan Shelley. Of course this is all just stage dressing since he had already fired Adam Fannin. Then he begins to question Fannin’s honesty and integrity. Not directly, but indirectly through a very subtle implied accusation. Then the implied accusations become stronger, and then no longer implied but directly stated. Then Anderson moves on from assertions of potential criminal wrongdoing to actual accusations of criminal wrongdoing. Then, on January 9, 2019, after returning to his church in Tempe, Arizona, Anderson preaches a sermon titled, “Sheba, Son of Bichri – Adam Fannin Exposed,” where he moves from accusations of criminal wrongdoing to stating quite matter-of-factly that not only is Adam Fannin stealing money from the church, but that he now has three witnesses to this, and states, “We proved he was doing wicked things with the finances...Proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt! …The guys out there, the righteous remnant out there, which is the majority out there by the way is not with Fannin. The majority of the church out there, you know what they did? They called the police to evict him! … You better know it’s getting dangerous for you, you thief! … Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you!” Anderson presented these videos in the manner that he did, in order to manipulate his gullible sycophantic followers that Adam Fannin was proven to be guilty of theft, of fraud, of embezzlement. And it worked. Almost immediately Fannin became a pariah in the New IFB. Other New IFB pastors and Andersonites began producing their own videos condemning Adam Fannin for being a railer, a divisive person, a liar, a thief, a false prophet, and a reprobate beyond salvation; and all based on Steven Anderson’s unsubstantiated claims against Fannin. Yep, that’s right. Unsubstantiated. Anderson did not have a single piece of definitive evidence to back up any of the claims he made regarding Adam Fannin’s alleged wrongdoing. Nothing other than his own twisted imagination. But that’s all it took to convince his thousands of loyal followers, such as Jonathan Shelley, Jeff Utzler, Ben “the Baptist” Naim, and others, to believe his lies and join him in slandering Adam Fannin; and now also those who attend church with him and have called him to be their pastor. And not with ten, or twenty, or fifty, or even seventy-five assault videos; but rather there are well over 100 videos on YouTube alone, that are either directly aimed at Adam Fannin, or mention him derogatorily, or make veiled derogatory statements about him. More than 100! When you consider it takes on average two hours to create a YouTube video (with creation, editing, publishing and all the little related steps), that adds up to about 200 hours of creating these videos. That’s at least two and one-half work weeks (at eight hours per day, five days per week); and that is a whole lot of time spent attacking and slandering one man! Time that could have probably been better spent sharing the gospel with people, or feeding the hungry, or clothing and obtaining housing and shelter for the poor – like Jesus tells His followers to do in Matthew 25:31-46: “35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (verses 35-40) But instead, Steven Anderson and his New IFB followers chose to take that time and use it to slander someone who certainly did not deserve any of persecution they heaped on him. This says a lot about their priorities. Part 3e Sources: 1. Interview with Dr. Sam Gipp, 03 February 2019 Interview with Tyler Baker, 02 06 February 2019 Regarding Anderson's people (i.e. Tyler Baker) calling churches where Gipp was scheduled to speak, and telling them to cancel Gipp's talk because Gipp is a heretic; one pastor in Maryland was called and told to cancel Sam Gipp because he is a heretic, and the pastor told the caller, “No.” Not long after that, someone called and identified themselves as Steven Anderson and told the pastor to cancel Sam Gipp. The pastor told this person no, and the person claiming to be Steven Anderson told him, “Cancel Sam Gipp or you'll be sorry.” Pastor Anderson Rant about Lame Baptist Churches [9:56] sanderson1611 Published on May 31, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvSRnVcnPWA&feature=youtu.be MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video The Truth About Steve Anderson [1:42:42] Sam Gipp Published on Jul 8, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaF54M3H5S8 MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video Sam Gipp's Rebuttal to Steven Anderson [28:34] Sam Gipp Published on May 12, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVjDwiOVyqI MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video Sam Gipp is Demonic and Evil (hear it for yourself) [10:10] sanderson1611 Published on May 9, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQTVLK1xe4Q MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video Dr. Sam Gipp, Ph.D. - English language expert [8:57] sanderson1611 Published on October 15, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Qh3EI2AMI MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video Sam Gipp Thinks I’m a Millionaire [6:21] sanderson1611 Published on May 11, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRn2f-gVKrY&t=188s MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video Sam Gipp Blasphemy Refuted & Rebuked [12:35] sanderson1611 Published on May 10, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN0VEo7sKZ8 MP4 Video has been downloaded for this video Sam Gipp – not a Ph.D but an M.C. and an O.G.
