The Rants and
Ramblings of aSaint
How in the world, can a True Christian, reconcile, all the knowledge that exists
today, in science and archaeology, that has been learned by mankind over the last few
centuries, with a faith in God, and in the Scripture he has given us, as it is now being
presented by the Organized Church that exists today? We cant. Christians need to
rethink their traditions that, Make Void Gods Word, and with an open mind andheart, take another look at what God really says, not what we are told by the church
to think, in light of what we know to be true in science and archaeology. God doesnt
want us to Park our brains at the door of the Church, as Dr. Scott put it. God, if
He is truly God, knows all things, is not afraid of the truth, has very logical reasons
for everything that exists, and He surely would have us to seek truth in everything, no
matter whose toes it steps on, even and especially our own. If He isnt God, then His
Word will fail, and we shouldnt follow a God that isnt Truly GOD, should we? I do
have a feeling though, that when a logical comparison is presented between Truth and
Scripture, that they will fit together like a well worn glove, perfect. God is truly GOD,His Word will never fail, and Faith which comes by the Word, in light of the Truths we
learn, will cause our Faith to flourish and grow.
Im not exactly sure how this letter will turn out. I have no real plan, other than to
talk about truth and scripture, all the while blowing some traditions away. So, here
goes...
We are told that Adam was created at 4004 BC, by good ole Bishop Ushersreckoning. Yet we are told, that science proves this earth to be millions of years old,
and Humanoid remains that are also that old. Even, taking the carbon 14 dating
error, that would be compounded dramatically, if the atmosphere was of a different
nature, like before the flood of Noah, there is still plenty of evidence that blows the
whole 4004 BC assumption, to smithereens. There was a canopy of water covering the
whole earth, the bible calls it a, firmament, in Genesis, which taken as true, makes
the Carbon 14 dating method unreliable. What then can we say? Even if our ancestor,
Adam, was created around 4000 BC or over 6000 years now, there is nothing in
scripture that states, that nothing existed before Adam. In fact, scriptureconfirms a prior creation that existed before our Father Adam was created. We
know by Scripture that Lucifer ruled on this earth before he rebelled and fell. We
know from Jeremiah, that there were Cities, a term meaning Meeting places of
intelligent beings before the land became Waste and Desolate as in Genesis. These
cities existed on the earth before Adam was created. We also know for a fact, that
between Genesis 1:1, and 1:2, that there could have been eons of time, before this
earth Became waste and desolate, God never creates anything Without form and
Void, or literally, Waste and Desolate. The term Was, that is inserted between
the original creation, and the being waste and desolate, is also a term meaningBecame, came to pass, etc. So there is plenty of time for the dinosaurs and
ancient cultures. Atlantis, and the other, more ancient legend of an island in the
Pacific, called Lemuria, could have existed easily and not be contrary to Gods Word.
Even evolution, if it were proved as a fact, which it hasnt been, should not worry true
believers in Gods Word. For if God did use some kind of evolution of the species, that
is irrelevant to the descendants of Adam. When Adam was created, he was created a
different creature, formed out of the dust of the earth, and breathed into, by God
Himself, with that breath of life. Adam didnt evolve from some other species,
whether he looks like he could have or not. Humanoids that existed before our ancestorAdam, could have evolved somewhat. So What?
How could God, create the heavens and the earth, in literal, Earth Time, six days?
Come on, think about it. That feat seems pretty impossible. To God, a day is like a
thousand years, and a thousand years like a day. GOD is outside of time. A day to
Him could be like a thousand years long, or He could squish a thousand years into a
single day. Time is irrelevant, so His 6 days, could have been any six lengths of time.
Dont worry about getting so stuck in your traditions, that make void Gods Word, muchless alienate your kids when it hits them that that feat seems impossible. Not that
doing it in six days is impossible for God. He, the Word of God, could have completed
the task in a split second, if that was His Desire. I take nothing away from the
capabilities of God, but to the Scientists of the world that see such a feat, as a six
day timeline for the creation of the universe, as illogical or ludicrous, we have answers.
It may not have been six literal days. It could have been six seconds, or six billion
years, no one knows. Instead of assuming something we are not sure of, just admit our
inability to know for sure, and go on. When God looks at us, he sees us in a timeline,
past, present, and future. He knows our endings from our beginnings. God is outside oftime because He created even time itself.
All the above was said to get to this point. None of that hoopla really matters!! It
makes no difference whether or not God could create the heavens and earth in six
days. This six day creation, is actually a re-creation of a heavens and an earth that
was already in existence and use before the land was, Without Form and Void. There
is no time specified, in scripture, for the original creation of the heavens and earth.
What about this Church, the Organized Christian Church of all denominations? There
are so many different ideas, and traditions within the denominational belief system
that exists today, that are truly making void, Gods Word. The fact that, the various
denominations, never see eye to eye, on their own particular ideas, should tell us
something. What exactly does the bible say that the True Church, is, or should be?
The True Church of Jesus Christ is
NOT, any one particular denomination, or all combined, whether recognized or
independent.
NOT, part of the Old Testament Church or those who looked forward to the Messiah.
NOT, part of the Kingdom of God, or Kingdom of Heaven at this moment.
NOT, the Bride of Christ, although they will be a part of the true Bride of Christ,
the New Jerusalem and its new, and old testament inhabitants.
The True Church of Jesus Christ, is.., an Ekklesia, or an OUT CALLED body ofpeople, who are believers in the atoning work that Jesus Christ came to earth to
accomplish, in order to redeem mankind back unto GOD. This group encompasses people
from all nations, and denominations, Christian and Catholic. These people walk in faith
daily and die still faithing in our Lords completed work. Notice I didnt say
Believing, for Satan believes, he knows, and is still going to burn. It takes more than
mere belief, faith is a verb, and action is required. We are called out from amongst
the fray, the rest of the riff raff. We are called the Body of Christ, of which
Jesus is the Head. We are called to be HOLY, or consecrated unto God. Believers who
comprise this Church, are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, and we are sent out into the
world to deliver the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Good News, is
the promise of eternal life, reunited with God, through the Atoning work of Christ.
People that accept that free gift of God, with simple childlike faith, receive the
promised salvation and are indwelt with the Spirit of Christ, which is the Holy Spirit.
We are then to be, Gods representative to the world, to be an outlet for Gods Power
to work through the Holy Spirit that dwells in the heart of all believers. Paul said, to
the Jew become a Jew, to the Greek become a Greek, so that becoming all things to
all men we can save some. (paraphrased) To children, we become like them, showing
them our faith in Jesus as the One who will never fail us or them. To the atheist, the
scientist, all non believers in this world, we come at them through their science. Show
God to them, in the Gospel Message in the Stars, in Gods Word written in the design
of the Great Pyramid, and in the Truths found by Rightly Dividing Gods Word. They
cant deny the facts of their math, or science, so they will then have to make a
choice. Force that upon them, people need to get off the fence. God wants us either
Hot for Him or Cold against. Christians need to get out of their comfort zones of
fence riding. To the hungry and downtrodden, become their help. To the widows and
orphans, we become their staff, their support. If you are going to be a Christian thenBe One. And, dont go around bragging about what you are Doing for the Kingdom.
God will reward you for what you do in secret, you braggarts already have your
reward, in the praises you get from your fellow man. When you do our Alms, your
giving, do it in secret. When you pray, do it in secret and God will answer. Im not
talking about saying Grace, or bedtime prayers, or even praying with someone else for
Gods aid. Im talking about the Outward Show of Self-Righteousness, that many
preachers and evangelists project regularly. We are to Go into our closet, and pray in
secret. True righteousness, does seep into our lives as we continue our walk of faith,
but Humility, first and foremost is required. When fasting, let no one know, exceptby necessity, and your Father in Heaven will reward you.
I consider myself to be an interdenominational. For I look for truth, within
everything, encompassing all denominations and even religions. I hold on to that which is
true, and toss away all the other trash. I am steadfastly and foremost, a Christian.
I follow Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords, and Him alone do I seek to imitate. I look at
other, more ancient religions than Christianity, as types or shadows, probably needed
during their time, but looking forward to the perfect religion, embodied in Jesus
Christ. I look at other, more modern religions, such as the Muslim, or Jehovahs
Witnesses, and even the Mormons', as just another way for Satan to throw a wrench
in the works. Now I do believe that I may have brothers and sisters within the,
Witnesses, and the Mormons, but the organizations as a whole, have perverted Gods
Word by either changing scripture to suit their own agenda, or coming up with a new
way, a modern add on to scripture that I find suspicious, even possibly inspired by
Satan. To the Muslim, Mohammed never claimed Divinity. He just had visions from
Allah, who by the way is none other than the Christian God, Jehovah. Mohammed never
claimed divinity, it was stamped onto him by his followers after his death. The same
can not be said about Jesus, He claimed Divinity often, and proved it by his
resurrection. Satan is always trying to thwart Gods more perfect plan, and since he
couldnt prevent the Son of Man, from coming in flesh, he is constantly trying to
hinder the Church in some manner. Whether inserting another way, or religious
system, or causing divisions and strife within Jesus own Church. Jesus statement,
however, that, The Gates of Hell, Shall Not Prevail against His True Church, is the
enabling force behind all true believers, walking in faith, constantly in battle against,
and defeating, the wiles of the devil. Jesus own Words, becoming the very Power
used, in fulfilling its Statement, for as the Word of God, His words werent justwords, when He speaks, Things happen.
We are told to, Examine Ourselves to see if we are worthy to partake of the Holy
Communion. Claiming, that we need to be forgiven for any unrepentant sins, before we
are Worthy enough to partake. The truth, however, is that the very fact that the
preacher has you examine yourself, makes you unworthy. We are not to look at
ourselves, to see if we measure up. We are to look at Jesus Christ and Him alone. His
blood that was shed for your sins, symbolically represented by the wine, and His body
that was broken for your healing, for By His Stripes, are you Healed, typified in thebread aspect of Communion. The word used, that is referenced in Scripture, is
Unworthily, not Unworthy. This is an adverb, not an adjective. Our manner of
partaking needs to be examined, not whether or not we measure up to some standard
of God, that no descendant of Adam ever will measure up to, save Christ Himself. Paul
goes on to describe the problem, Not discerning the Lords Body. Its like lifting up
that Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant, and peering down on Gods unbroken
tablets, and seeing how we measure up. God killed people for less. You cant take Jesus
Christ, as our Mercy Seat, out from in-between Gods unbroken law and us. Jesus is
the only way through. If you want to try to make it through the Law, God will let
you, but you will fail miserably, just as I or anyone else who has ever lived on earth
since Adam would.
The trick to understanding scripture, including prophesy, properly, is to first, Take it
Literally, unless context dictates, or there is a specification to take a certain text
figuratively, or spiritually. Secondly, you have to understand the words of the original
Greek or Hebrew text. {You dont have to learn Hebrew or Greek, to be able to get
the proper definitions, just get a Greek and Hebrew Interlinear Bible with StrongsNumbers. Then get a Strongs Concordance with Greek and Hebrew dictionaries.
Strongs is pretty cheap, but Im not sure about the Interlinear. You can also get the
interlinear in Software for your computer. You can probably find these books in most
church libraries also.} For example, when discerning scripture, if scripture states, that
Elijah was taken up in a, Chariot of Fire, and the Horsemen Therof, well, it was
probably a Heavenly Chariot being pulled by Heavenly Horses, and not a UFO.
Although, there may have been some of them UFOs around to see it happen. The
evidence of UFOs and otherworldly phenomena, such as ESP, is beyond refute at this
point. The Church needs to have answers about such things. Nothing in scripture saysthat UFOs dont exist, in fact Scripture indicates many instances that something seen
by people is seen as supernatural, flying, and unidentifiable, therefore, a UFO.
Let me tell you, your kids are being taught by Christian and Secular Teachers, who are
being controlled by a secular government, that has decided to take God out of
everything. They teach the kids evolution as a science instead of a theory, which is
what it truly is, and leave out the true science of Intelligent Design, by a Creator.
We have to always be ready to give an account of why we believe, and if we cantcome up with ways to teach our kids the truth, the secular world will swallow them up
into a Godless body of atheists, bound for the pits of Hell. You are responsible for
your childrens spiritual knowledge. Teach them the ways of God while they are young,
and they wont soon depart from them.
Teach them the truth about Easter, before they learn how to count, and realize that
Good Friday, to Easter Sunday, doesnt add up to three days and three nights, which
is how long Jesus had to be in the Heart of the Earth, as foretold by Jonah. So if the
Church cant get right, the very basic tenets of our faith, such as the resurrection,then how are the smart kids of today, ever going to believe in the infallible Word of
God. Jesus was crucified on Passover, not on Good Friday, or Good Freila day. It was
Wednesday evening when He was laid in the tomb, the beginning of Passover. Exactly
three days and nights later He came out, Saturday at dusk, which was the beginning of
Sunday, the Lords Day. He rose up at Dusk, or soon thereafter, not Dawn, and The
Feast of Easters or Ishtars Sunrise services, are just a Pagan fertility spring
festival that existed before Jesus resurrection. Jesus raised up from the dead, at the
Feast of Firstfruits. I dont care what your church teaches, if they teach Good
Friday, as the day of crucifixion, and Easter at sunrise the time of the resurrection of
Jesus Christ, then they are teaching heresy, they are wrong. The Sabbath mentioned
in scripture the day after Jesus crucifixion, was a High Sabbath, not a normal
Saturday Sabbath day. The Church will never be able to prove me wrong either,
because I am not. Nimrods wife Semiramus, became pregnant after Nimrods death.
She stated that a Sun Beam which was Nimrod Incarnate, had made her pregnant,
hence Tamuz her son was Nimrod born again. Easter or the feast of Ishtar was
instituted by Semiramus to commemorate her impregnation by a sun beam. The sunrise
services that most churches celebrate, only perpetuate this lie. When the ladies went
to the tomb of Christ, it was still dark, however even then, it was already empty. No
one knows exactly what time Jesus was raised up, but Gods Word will not fail, and if
Jesus was to fulfill all the Feasts of God, and prophesy dictated His necessity of being
in the Heart of the Earth for three days and nights, then Easter is just wrong,
period. Now Im not saying that Easter egg hunts, and bunny rabbits are wrong for
the kids to do. Just call it what it is, and dont call it what it is not. It is a springtime
fertility festival. It has nothing to do with our Lord.
Christmas, is another erroneously taught about event, commemorating our Lords birth.This needs to be taught properly. Christmas, or Christs Mass, is a celebration
instituted by the Catholic church to be a replacement for the Feast of Saturnalia.
This winter festival feast was kept back in Jeremiahs day at least. He taught against
felling a tree of the forest, bringing it into your homes, fastening it so it stands up,
and Decking it out with silver and gold. Plainly calling this practice idol worship.
(Jeremiah 10:1-5) The church couldnt stop this festival, so they decided to designate
that date, December 25th, as a Christs Mass or Christmas, to counter the pagan
festival. You know, if you cant beat them, join them. They stated that Jesus was
born on that day, however they were wrong. Jesus was born in the Fall of the Year.We know that Jesus was six months younger than John. We can also know when John
was born, by the Priests lists that show when Zacharias was High Priest, and became
blinded by the Angel. John was born in March, and Jesus, although probably conceived
in December, was born in September. Most likely fulfilling the First Trumpet of the
Feast of Trumpets, in type. Israel blew two silver Shofar horns during the feast.
The first trumpet, represents Jesus coming to earth the first time, to redeem the
world of sin. The second trumpet represents Jesus coming back to earth the second
time to redeem the True Church out of the earth at the Rapture. Jesus was not born
on Christmas Day. The Great Pyramid, which I believe to be probably more accurate
than any other, places the birth of Christ at September 29, 2 BC. My bet is on that
date. Now I am not saying, to not celebrate Christmas, or even telling people to not
have a tree. Even celebrating Jesus birthday on Dec. 25th, because of convenience is
ok, but dont teach that He was born on that day. Let the children believe the truth
that there was a Saint Nicholas, who gave gifts to the children. Let them have their
Santa Clause. Just dont try to tie together these two totally different Holiday
Festivals, for in doing so you only serve to muddy the truth.
The very fact that I titled this letter, The Rants and Ramblings of a Saint, probably
steps on a lot of Christian toes. How could he imply such an honor upon himself? I
can almost hear people say. But the fact is, I am a Saint of God. So are all, true
followers of Jesus Christ, indwelt with the Holy Spirit. We are adopted into the
kingdom, we are Heirs and Joint Heirs with Christ. I am not implying any honor
whatsoever. I deserve none, I am just stating a fact. I purposely deny the honor of
being called Reverend, or REV., even though, legally, I am entitled to use it. No
one should be reverenced, except God. I am just a fellow servant, trying to find my
way, and enlighten whomever God sends my way. The word, Saint, Chasid, meaning,holy, pious, favored or gracious ones. Saints are made by God, and every believer
who walks daily in faith, in humility, and in complete trust of God, is in fact a Saint,
even in this lifetime now. You cant deem anyone, A Saint, post mortem, that
practice is not scriptural. Angels are not Saints either, only redeemed men and women
of God, can be called Saints.
And another thing is bothering me. God has not changed his mind about anything. He is
the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He said, that something was anabomination to him in the Old Testament, then He still thinks it is today. If he calls
something a sin in the Old Testament, then it still is. This government, including the
Church of Jesus Christ, seems to becoming more accepting of certain sins, almost
proclaiming them as not sinful at all. Im here to tell you that a sin is a sin, whether
or not the church oks it, or our government says its ok, is irrelevant. What God
says is relevant. Dont get me wrong, I have my own vices, and sins, and Im not
pointing fingers at anyone, for we all must work out our own salvation, with fear and
trembling, but when we start claiming that something is, what it is not, and something
that is not, as something that is, then we are just confusing the masses, and spreadinglies instead of truth. God is not pleased.
Well, I guess Ive stepped on most everyones toes by now. Ill quit my rambling, and
continue this another day.
Keep learning truth, and growing in faith.
With Love in Christ,
Patrick Robinson, Minister
