Though Missler is an outstanding researcher/writer, like all of us, he is flawed. My only concern for his flaws is his tendency to write about opinions as though they are facts. Many authors do this and I'm not sure why but as you can see in my blog, I am very careful not to do this. I greatly appreciate your comment.

I have wondered about some of the opinions expressed by him in the past although am very grateful that he, and a very dear persistent friend, finally got my husband and I onto the King James bible. Kind regards Theresa Hi David
Thanks for your insight into Chuck Missler’s teaching. I have wondered about some of the opinions expressed by him in the past although am very grateful that he, and a very dear persistent friend, finally got my husband and I onto the King James bible.

]]> Comment on America, Founded on Christian Faith? by David http://solidwords.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/america-founded-on-christian-faith/#comment-78 David Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:02:35 +0000 http://solidwords.wordpress.com/?p=147#comment-78 The only error I see is adding a link that may be bogus, that sort of thing can happen when in haste. I did not take the time to read the entire site that I used as a resource. If it sounds bogus, it might be. I have since replaced the link to two others. I agree that small inconsistencies and/or questionable material can potentially discredit something. However, one questionable link does not discredit what is true. My concern is for truth and not long ago I did much research on the subject of Masons and other societies. I have done much research on both sides of the coin and The Spirit has convected me in this matter. I have never witnessed or met a practicing Mason who agrees with the accusation that it is rooted in evil. In addition, I have never met anyone who admits that they are evil, period. Unless one is purposeful in practicing evil like Alister Crowley was, they will never admit that they are evil, even if they are. I have The Spirit to guide and direct me and I also have The Word to verify what is evil. My question to you is, are you a disciple of Christ? If you are not then you are a slave to your own heart and are highly susceptible to Satan's will. You have no power over sin. In addition, if you are not living your life for Christ then you are living it for your self, period. You will continue to be blind unless you surrender your life to Christ. If you are, in fact, a Christian then I would love to have a deeper conversation with you. I have read many conversations from "Christians" that are Masons and they, of course, do not agree with the accusations. I have never heard a good argument from any of them either. Masons do not share all of their information to everyone, one must reach higher and higher levels to be granted more sensitive information. In addition, each lodge has their own parameters. And, all my research says that the 33rd degree is the highest level. Now, I also agree that there is disinformation out there. Maybe the 3rd degree is the highest level at your lodge but levels are not the point. The point is that the Masons practice anti-Christ rituals and have an anti-Christ agenda, and that is a fact whether you believe it or not. Besides, if you are not Christian then you have not a clue as to the importance of keeping The Body of Christ pure. Man cannot serve two masters. Man will always serve one over the other. Man will always despise one thing over another. (Matthew 6:24) Biblical wisdom is and always will be the highest form of wisdom and I put my faith in it and nothing else. Thank you for your comment/questions and I hope that I have been a good witness for God. Praise His Holy name. I will pray for you.

Please see http://www.masonicinfo.com for the other side's counter to bibleprobe.com. They base their entire screed on two proved (nuts, liars, hucksters) please take your pick as all phases apply. I mean please, Bill Schnoebelen claims he was everything from a Mormon to a Vampire and a witch. Please read his books and compare the time-lines he gives and it is impossible to believe that he could have been an ordained minister and the head of a witch's coven and not know that the church considered being a witch to be evil. Really? You can also see http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/index.html which debunks all the other 'theories' of the website you listed as your source of information on Freemasonry. I would think that if more so called Christians would stop attacking that which they know nothing about and do some serious research into that subject you might find that although you may not agree with Freemasonry's teachings it is in no way evil or 'Anti-Christ'. And by the way, Skull and Bones is in no way even remotely related to Freemasonry and the highest degree of Freemasonry is the 3rd degree or Master Mason. The Scottish rite and the York rite are appendant bodies. Just because something is numbered does not mean it is higher. The numbers are just to identify, each degree teaches a specific moral lesson.

Besides, this type of question is relative. Only God knows which country has the most true believers per capita. And as far as I know, God isn't too concerned about countries or groups but rather God is most interested in individual behavior and The Body of Christ. Additionally, why do people believe what they believe? People believe in all kinds of non-sense and there is no telling why. Next time you have the opportunity, you might ask. Thanks for your questions and for the opportunity to respond as I hope God would appreciate.

]]> Comment on Federal Income Tax by Erin http://solidwords.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/federal-income-tax/#comment-60 Erin Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:46:11 +0000 http://solidwords.wordpress.com/?p=74#comment-60 Hi, I have the privilege of participating in the Ecclesiastes Bible study with your wife, who is totally awesome, and I found your blog through a link in her blog. Your blog is very interesting! I've had the (mis?)fortune of taking a law school class on the federal income tax, and it's true that Art. 1, Sec. 9 of the US Constitution says, "No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken." However, that section has been superceded by the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which says: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration." So that gives the federal government authority to tax away. And there is an enormous book of statutes that authorizes the federal government to levy this tax. Lawyers won't cite to one statute on TV because there are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of statutes that authorize collection of the income tax, depending on the person's individual circumstances. I really appreciate your search for truth, and if you've seen the stuff I mentioned above but still believe there's a legitimate argument that no law authorizes the federal income tax, I'd be interested to hear about it and would love to continue the conversation.

But for the sake of argument, the only verification I accept 100% is fulfilled prophecy which can only be demonstrated by God through His servants.

Different forms of energy constantly travel through space. 2. There are many dishes situated around the globe that pick up these different forms of energy. 3. The more scientist study energy the more they understand what a mystery it really is. 4. People can say and think whatever they want but that does not make it so. Do you accept in the power of experimental verification of theoretical predictions to take us closer to truth? I agree with all of this:
