Thomas Armitage states “‘Whoso abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God; he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. If any man cometh to you and bringeth not this teaching receive him not.’ Pure doctrine, as it is found uncorrupted in the word of God, is the only unbroken line of succession which can be traced in Christianity. God never confided his truth to the personal succession of any body of men; man was not to be trusted with the custody of this precious charge, but the King of the truth has kept the keys of the truth in his own hand. The true Church of Christ has ever been that which has stood upon his person and work.” Page 28 Vol. One, A History of the Baptists
Romans 1:21-23 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man
1Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Baptist historian Thomas Armitage states “IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE, THE CHURCH WAS A LOCAL BODY; AND EACH CHURCH WAS ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT OF EVERY OTHER CHURCH. The simple term ‘Ecclesia’ designates one congregation, or organized assembly, and no more, this being its literal and primal meaning.” Page 28 of A History of the Baptists, VOLUME 1, Thomas Armitage
The New Testament knows nothing of the monsters man has organized such as the Southern Baptist Convention. When Paul wrote 1 and 2 Corinthians it was to a local New Testament church. In the first letter he wrote to that church he had something to say concerning a born again baptized church member going to law against another member of the same local New Testament church. Here is what he wrote. 1Corithians 6:1-8 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
Nevertheless man too often has set up organizations such as the SBC which has its children such as the North American Mission Board. The following pdf is a result of man’s ways.
What is occurring in Israel is barbaric. Lest we forget, this present attack on Israel makes one understand more clearly the hatred of the Jewish people and how Hitler and his henchmen were capable of doing such heinous crimes against innocent people for just being Jews! In Sydney those supporting the Palestinians and the murder of Jews now rule the streets. If one was to oppose them they would be arrested for “breaching the peace”! What a farce! However, the God of the Bible is not through with Israel and that means these Allah anti-Christ, God of the Bible haters will NOT win!
God said to Jacob in Genesis 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. Well, He did bring Israel back into the land and He will again set up HIS kingdom in the LAND. David wrote in Psalm 86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. In Isaiah 43: 1-7 God’s Word says But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
The Messiah was a Jew and He came to save not only His own people, the Jews, but we Gentiles. Oh, by the way this was written by a Jew; Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
7. Some of the protestors were acting violent, held antisemitic posters, as well as what looked like sticks. (See video) Instead of removing the protestors from school grounds, the school barricaded the Jewish students in the school library. pic.twitter.com/BhehSpMXPB
The Jews are the Lord’s earthly people and therefore they receive the hatred of those who hate God. This is not saying the nation of Israel has always done everything right but it is a Biblical fact the Jew is the chosen people of God and the land belongs to them.
Genesis 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Multiculturalism will (in my opinion) NEVER work when one culture believe they have the duty to kill anyone that does not hold their religious belief. This is what those that hold to “political” Islam believes. This is why many if not most “Palestinians” should not be allowed to immigrate into the West. For instance, Scotland’s First Minister is asking the Scottish people to open their door to future terrorism, plain and simple when he says they should open the door to Gaza refugees.
Now, having said that the true answer is for these people to come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. As the Lord said in John 14:6 ..I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The following is what occurs when political Islam is allowed to operate in a once free nation!
