Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one.

I have a head full of seemingly weird ideas. I’m an odd ball or maybe a square peg. for example.

I believe strongly that we should interpret first chapters of Genesis as literally as possible yet I have no problem with the universe being 14 billion years old.

I believe that a large percentage of the world will always be hostile to true Christianity yet I expect to see a golden age not unlike the one expected by the postmillennialists.

I believe that Christians are wrong to teach that the human soul is naturally immortal yet I have no problem believing that God might if he chooses keep the reprobate alive and in torment forever.

I believe in the five points of Calvinism but also believe that when John 3:16 says that God loved the word and gave his Son for it he meant the “world” and not just the elect.

I believe societies' laws should mirror as much as possible the Law of God yet I don’t believe that we should that we should use the Ten Commandments or the Sermon on the Mount as a template for legislation.

I believe we Christians have only one Lawgiver and it’s not Moses its Christ.

I believe that the next few years will see the exodus of the majority of Christians from traditional Church structures yet I think this will be the most exciting revival since the reformation.

If God grants me the time and the ambition I hope to expand on these and some other radical ideas in this blog. Who knows maybe some of it might make sense to you as well. After all if you’re a Christian then you to are one of the peculiar people.

Peace

The following paper will be of interest and pertinence to you for possibly several reasons among many. It has been our great honor to discern and identify the error and spirit of John Calvin, whose rule is yet propagated in the hearts of men with evil consequences for all. The Lord Jesus Christ has visited us with the Light of His countenance to put an end to this evil, justifying His servants whom Calvin murdered, and His Name in the sight of all.

The Fruit of Cain Multiplied: The Murderer John Calvin

Show me whom you follow, and I will know what manner of person you are or will become. If you do not know whom you are following, don't you think it is time to find out how and where you are being led? Do you think you will altogether escape the consequences because ignorant? Think again. You already suffer them.

John Calvin was one of the most vicious of wolves ever to pose as a lamb of God. His supremely self-righteous spirit lives on in those who lionize and follow him, even unbeknownst to themselves. Truly, "that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."
