It’s funny to me. A couple of years ago while talking to a couple of brothers in Christ one of them noted that they were surprised that no one had gone after the ‘L’ at the end of my account name on Youtube. We imagined the type of attacks that could be created… ‘Christofer-Hell’… L for liar – L – for leader (as in cult leader)… ya get the idea…

Well, I guess I’ve finally made the big time, as insane internet people such as christiantruthhammer, icartoon2 and anotherbrothermark have started their first real attacks on me and my channel… and icartoon has taken to saying the ‘L’ stands for a (bad) legacy as well as a liar. Why do I call them insane? I guess because I know me, and I know their accusations, and frankly, they just don’t match up.

In truth, I think christiantruthhammer is young, and simply caught up in the whole KJVO movement. As he matures in the Lord I am sure he will see what’s really happening concerning the translations. icartoon2 has already exposed himself as a fraud by claiming the Holy Spirit told him I led Yokeup away from the KJV (he actually called me a whispering voice in Jeff’s ear) when Yokeup and I have had absolutely no discussions about the Bible translations. I don’t actively work to discredit any translation. Whatever spirit is speaking to icartoon2, it is a lying spirit and is not of God. anotherbrothermark is a man who loves conspiracies and making accusations. He has been lurking in the shadows for months – foaming at the mouth waiting for his moment to pounce… so be it… if the Lord is with me – whom shall I fear? No one. Especially not the latest round of internet crazies.

So how should I fight this war of words that is sure to come in the following months?

I am praying for compassion, patience, and understanding…

If you could – please pray for me as well – that His will – not mine, yours, or ours be done – that would be fantastic.

Thanks!

The following is a written response to 17 questions posted against a Youtube Christian channel called ‘Acts 17 Apologists’. I opened my mouth in the comments of ‘kufrtokufr’s’ video and declared that I would render a response to their ridiculous questions. The video is soon to come, but this is what I wrote first… They, of course, are in Italics.

Question/Query 1
Prove the Gospels are eye witness accounts without a doubt.

Though I believe them to be eyewitness accounts or accounts documented through the giving of an eyewitness account (such as with the Gospels of Mark and Luke), I cannot prove that the Gospels are eyewitness accounts ‘without a doubt’… however, I am surprised that you would even dare attempt to question the reliability of the Gospels considering the Qur’an has God claiming that He deceived people concerning the death and resurrection of Christ (4:157-158). So if God deceived people then wouldn’t the Bible be entirely accurate according to the delusion the Qur’an claims?

Still, there is nothing on this planet that man has not doubted, so why would you ask for something that you cannot even provide concerning the Qur’an? Written references do not help because unless you were there when the Qur’an was ‘given’ then you don’t know without a doubt. You are trusting the testimony of people who cannot even be sure existed. All you have are words on paper. If you want indisputable proof of anything involving men – you’d better be there in person or have a reliable video recording of the event. In the end though – as Jesus said in the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus… even if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent. If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

You are trapped in an illusion. You have been lied to and told Jesus wasn’t really crucified. He didn’t really rise again. Though you believe He was taken to heaven… this kind of revisionism out of Muhammad robs you of your opportunity to know God. Why else would I be inviting people to Christianity? That’s simple. True Christianity is not about religion or the Bible… it is about a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. Without this relationship, religion and the Bible are utterly worthless. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I invite people to Christ because I love Christ. I know Him as my Lord and Savior, and I would like everyone to know Him as well.

Question/Query 2
Why is Paul allowed to have such a huge role in deciding and making sacred scripture when He didn’t even see Jesus and basically just had a dream?

The way you phrased this question is fraudulent.

First of all – Paul had NO role in deciding sacred scripture. As far as making sacred scripture, that is only by God’s will that his writings stood. Paul wrote letters of correction, encouragement, and direction as led by the Holy Spirit with a love for his brothers and sisters in Christ which the body of believers knew was coming from God.

As for you calling Paul’s experience ‘a dream’ – I would encourage you to read the story yourself. The man was blinded, and heard the voice of Christ – and remained blind for three days until Christ sent a believer to Paul to rid him of the scales that had blinded his eyes. Statements like the one you just made concerning Paul’s experience, whether you believe the story or not, demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge concerning the Bible. No where was it ever simply called a dream – but I wonder – do you use the same logic for Muhammad who essentially received the Qur’an while he supposedly experienced seizures of a sort that resemble the symptoms of people in the Gospels who were plagued by demons? Why would Muhammad’s visions have anymore credibility than Paul’s?

Question/Query 3
You say the first Christians worshipped Jesus. Then what about the Ebionites? They didn’t worship Jesus! They worshipped God.

The first Christians were the first twelve Apostles, other than Judas who betrayed Him… I believe the other 11 did in fact worship Christ – particularly after He rose from the dead after three days time… and certainly by the time He ascended to Heaven.

Question/Query 4
Why didn’t God reveal himself as a Trinity in the Old Testament? Was he being deceptive for 1000s of years?

First of all – many Trinitarian Christians can provide you with many passages that do reveal God as a Trinity… but beyond that – even if we were reading the Trinity into the Old Testament – it would not be deceptive to hide His trinitarian nature. There are things even now that we don’t know about God because He has not yet revealed them – and even if He did – we might not comprehend the revelation! It amuses me to think that there are people somehow convinced they have a perfect knowledge of all things God.

Question/Query 5
the nature of God is supposed to be unchanging. Yet according to Christianity, the nature of God before 0a.d. Was 100% non-flesh, where as AFTER 0.a.d. It was 2/3 non-flesh and 1/3 flesh (Jesus). Whats up with that?

Basically, you are misunderstanding what the ‘nature of God’ is and what men are…

Jesus is God in the flesh but the flesh is just a vessel that houses the spirit just as our spirit – our souls – are stored in these vessels. God is SPIRIT!

Question/Query 6
The concept of the Trinity is simply illogical. Calling it complex is not doing it justice. Saying 1+1+1=1 is not complexity, it’s just failing to grasp basic math. How can you continue to stand by something so irrational and illogical?

First of all, you’re using your own logic – man’s logic – not God’s…

Secondly… if I told you have a father, a son, and a brother all in one room but I told you I have only one man in the room you might also say that is illogical… 1+1+1 cannot equal 1 – I hear ya – but if you understand that the man in the room is a father, but also he is a son to his parents and a brother to his siblings, you might rethink your adherence to your logic.

Question/Query 7
How can Jesus be both man and divine? The very nature of the divine is to be unlimited, where as the very nature of man means that he is limited. It’s synonymous to saying that someone is both alive and dead, or perfectly good and perfectly evil. It’s impossible. Man and divine are polar opposites.

How can you deem ANYTHING IMPOSSIBLE for God? How dare you? The very fact that you do worries me. My friend, those alive today but living without Christ as their Savior are also DEAD. Jesus called the living dead ya know. And I’ll tell you what… I know Muslims call Muhammad perfectly good – but many outside of Islam consider him to be perfectly evil… leading seekers away from the Lord Jesus Christ – but in the end – only God knows the truth concerning a man’s heart. Man and divine are not polar opposites… flesh and spirit may be – but Our divine God seeks a relationship with us… not because we are His opposite… but because if we are willing we can be in union with Him… hardly polar opposites.

Question/Query 8
If your God really ‘loves’ us then why will he condemn us to Hell for eternity for simply deciding to follow our own reason and not blindly worship a Jew who lived 2000 years ago, about whom we know very little, seeing as there are no eyewitness documents to show what he actually said or did? Why would God base eternal salvation on something so obscure and unknown? If he really wanted us to believe in Jesus then He would have at least have the decency to give us eyewitness accounts…

God will not condemn you. You are condemned because you have rejected the truth concerning Christ. You have refused to accept the testimony concerning Christ. Considering the time between Jesus and Muhammad, one might think you’d realize that if Jesus Christ is NOT the Son of God – the Messiah, the Savior of Mankind and if His words were not true then God allowed people to be deceived for what, 600 years? Are you for real? God would allow His people to follow a lie for 600 years? Really? And for the record, Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago – but He is still alive… as for you doubting of His what He said or did – remember – if its false then God let millions die in vane doomed to Hell… if you had a real relationship with God through the Holy Spirit you would have no doubts about Jesus my friend.

The name and way of Jesus is not obscure and unknown… and the Gospel spread rather quickly… so I don’t know why you would view it as if it was some well kept secret… as for your continued cries for eye witness accounts… unless you have an unaltered video tape of any given event – you are trusting men who came before trusting that they are not lying… even if I had proof – you would dismiss it as forgery or deception…

Question/Query 9
You keep bringing up violence with regards to Islam. Ever heard of something called the crusades? Or the Inquisition? Or the ethnic cleansing and forced conversion of the natives in America? Or the forced conversion of large parts of Europe and Prussia by the Teutonic Knights? And before you say Christianity itself wasn’t responsible for any of this, keep in mind that these operations had the FULL support of the Catholic Church (which was the only church in the West at that time) as well as Christian clergy.

Violence and Islam is brought up because it is still happening. The past is the past, and all I can tell you is I would have died opposing the efforts of the Catholic Church in its day. You say it was the only church in existence in the West at that time…. but the church is not an organization such as the Catholic Church, it is the true body of believers. This isn’t to say Catholics can’t be true Christians, but it is to say not all Christians are true believers. We know them by their fruit.

Question/Query 10
Why were Jesus’ last words on the cross “Father, why have you forsaken me?” We thought he wanted to die for our sins – that this was all part of the plan? Any why is god #2 asking God #1 why He had forsaken Him.

Though Jesus was fully aware of the plan, He still had to face the reality of it. Christ was being sacrificed for the sins of the world – and thus He faced the pain and the suffering alone – without His connection to the Father – in other words – God gave up a part of Himself for the rest of us willing to accept His Sacrifice.

Question/Query 11
Why do so many Christians (especially Catholics) make images and statues of Jesus and sometimes God the Father? The Ten Commandments explicitly forbid the making of graven images. Yet Christians have been doing this for hundreds of years.

You’ve got me… I don’t like it either… but I am reminded that all things are permissible but not all things are beneficial. While I disagree with the use of statues – of Jesus, Mary, God the Father, and even the saints and prophets… who am I to judge them? God will handle that Himself.

Question/Query 12
You want us to ‘accept’ Christianity. OK, so which church? There are more churches out there then there are cities in America. Why is Christianity so fragmented? Which is the true Christianity?

OK – again – I can’t speak for others – but I don’t want you to accept Christianity, I want you to accept Christ… and really – I am most concerned about sharing the truth about Christ with you than anything. As far as to the fragmentation of Christianity… the true Christianity is one who hears the words of Jesus and obeys. One who accepts the Gospel. One who embraces both the Father and the Son. The true Christianity isn’t in any single ‘church’ and you can find someone who is a true Christian in most any Christian church… you just have to know what you’re looking for – but you’ll never know what you’re looking for without having a genuine relationship with God.

Question/Query 13
Where exactly in the New Testament does it limit the number of wives a man can have, or specify the minimum age for a bride. Because the Old Testament allows polygamy and allows marriage to girls of the age of three.

Matthew 19, 1 Corinthians 7 – as for The Old Testament… I guess I am glad I am not a Jew. Still – if you think about it – you are defending the right to take 3 year old wives and bed 9 year old girls for the sake of Muhammad? Would you do that? These are serious questions civilization would like to ask.

Question/Query 14
You make a point of criticizing Islam for suppressing women. Let’s take a look at your own religion first. Are women allowed to be priests in Christianity? Where in the Bible are women guaranteed inheritance from their parents and relatives, as they are in Islam? Where in the Bible are women allowed to own, manage, and sell property in their own name and earn income as they are in Islam. Ever heard the verse “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

I haven’t personally attacked Islam over their treatment of women, but since you bring it up – I have heard a lot of nasty things about the way they are treated in Islamic countries. You want to look at our religion first, but I ask you – even if you were right in how you see a woman in Christianity, how does that justify the poor treatment of women in Islam? Is it not true the testimony of a woman is worth half of a man’s? Can she not be beaten with a toothbrush according to the Qur’an?

Question/Query 15
If your God has a ‘plan for salvation’, then why did he allow the faith of Islam to prosper and flourish for 14 centuries, rivaling and eventually taking over the number of adherents and strength? Why did he allow for a faith which is as ethical or even more ethical than Christianity and which reaffirms the unitarian monotheistic truths of the Old Testament? Why did he allow for a faith that is brimming with converts from Christianity, the supposedly ‘true’ religion? Does your God have a twisted sense of humor?

Why allow for Islam? Jesus warned us of FALSE PROPHETS who would deceive many – even the Elect if that were possible. Jesus also told us the gate is narrow and few will find it! Wake up! Christianity as a RELIGION is full of issues… but again – it isn’t about RELIGION… not Christianity not Islam not Buddhism not Hinduism… it’s about a true relationship with God… one that is not bound by the ritualistic trappings of men! You declare some sort of credibility because Muhammad copied the monotheistic truths of the Old Testament? Jesus brought the New Covenant… a deeper understanding of God… as men were ready to hear the truth… Muhammad took a step backwards, seeking to burden your people with a legalistic religion that turns your relationship with God into an obsession with a big black box in Mecca. Do you not KNOW that a true worshipper of God doesn’t need to worship here or there… there is no pilgrimage in the flesh to any location…we worship in Spirit and in Truth! You claim that your religion is brimming with converts from Christianity – you claim larger numbers – and in response I say – if its about the numbers – true Christians vs. Muslims? There will always be FAR FEWER TRUE CHRISTIANS! That’s the point! I wouldn’t expect it any other way! However, I have read estimates that still put Islam below Christianity in number of followers… though Islam is the fastest growing religion (due to their rapid birthrate)… and no – I don’t believe God has a twisted sense of humor, though I have to say – out of the mouth comes the abundance of the heart – and judging by your words and tone – I would have to say I am concerned for your heart…

Question/Query 16
You seemed to be a big proponent of American freedom during Dearborn. Yet now here you are rallying against the construction of a mosque in New York near ground zero. Tell me, what part of the constitution forbids building this mosque at this specific site? Or does freedom in America not apply to Muslims? How can this mosque not be constructed seeing as America is a country which focuses on freedom of religion? It’s not being financed with your taxpayer money, unlike the massive illegal wars in the Middle East that fundamentalist Christians are so fond of supporting. Also the idea that the mosque is part of a conspiracy to cover NYC with mosques is absurd xenophobia, to say the least.

Though this is targeted to ACTS17 let me say this. I oppose any building on Ground Zero with the exception of memorials. No offices. No coffee shops. No churches. No mosques. With that said, Freedom does apply to Muslims, however, that freedom doesn’t mean you can force anyone to accept a mosque anywhere! The best news is that NYC will probably deem that area to be historic, and that means no building of a mega-mosque. You don’t need a mosque at Ground Zero to have freedom of religion. By your logic – there could be temples and sites for all religions there… no? Is that the appropriate way to memorialize the dead from 911? Is that comforting to the families of the dead? The terrorists which you never seem to mention have scared America and her people, and unfortunately for you, Islam and the Qur’an do not lead any of us outside your religion to relax. It’s just the wrong thing to do – and you’d think if Islam was such a great religion the Muslims pushing for this would realize that building this mosque would only worsen relations between America and Islam. Its like rubbing salt on a wound and its just stupid.

Question/Query 17
Why do you block our responses when we don’t block yours?
Again, targeted to ACTS17, I haven’t and typically won’t block responses, but in closing – I would like to say that you had way more than seventeen questions… you peppered them with bitter insults… and you did a lot of rambling… you may want to focus with staying on point.

With that said, I hope you find the light of Christ in your lives, and I appreciate the opportunity to address your video…

Ok – here’s a thing I guess I should respond to publicly at this point… There’s this lady – yahsladynred – on youtube – who leads a ministry called a mighty wind… I kind of feel bad about all the heat she’s gotten, but I think its a result of all the messed up doctrines she preaches concerning marriage and divorce. Personally – I think her take on this is insane and I seriously doubt her ability to claim the title of a prophetess… but hey – its between her and God… I did write her once to extend a hand of grace and love – and she did respond with a degree of kindness… but generally – I haven’t heard a peep out of a mighty wind until now – this was recently posted at yahsladynred channel.

“UPDATE WOW another wolf dressed like a sheep is ChrisoferL I saw on Bearkiller777 where somebody called miracle don’t know user name exactly had warned Bearkiller777 on his channel about SOTC and pastorgeorgec being child abusers. I went to ChrisL because I wanted to see? more of her comments and that was the next comment recorded by YT. I saw the same person warned at ChrisL the next thing I saw ChrisL had removed her warning. Is he a pedophile also? nothing was offensive that was written unless bearkiller777 removes it you can read it. Why is ChrisoferL covering for pastorgeorgec and SOTC?”

First of all – let me say this – I don’t know what she is talking about concerning ‘somebody called miracle’ – and I don’t think she does either… if she did – might she not know the name of this person? Bearkiller, a brother in Christ whom I love dearly does NOT seem to have this comment that she is referring to either. So I am left with an accusation of wrong doing concerning the deletion of a post that I don’t remember and can’t find on Mitch’s channel… In fact – I went back a week in the comment emails and couldn’t find anything even mentioning PastorGeorge or SOTC… leading me to believe that it was never actually posted on my channel.

Secondly, I know nothing of these accusations against Pastor George or Soldiers of the Cross. I know very little at all about Pastor George and SOTC… In fact – I’ve had differences with both of these channels… but I am not part of this fruitless chatter… I am not a part of this drama.

Third – this on going battle is completely unscriptural in my opinion… Now this isn’t meant for one side or the other of this argument – but I would like to remind the parties involved that there is scripture pertaining to situations like this…

Matthew 15:13 -14 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

I am also reminded of Acts 5:38 – 39 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”

Now I know we are to expose evil deeds – but there comes a point where you’ve done all you can and its time to dust the feet off and walk away… if those who claim the Lord aren’t really OF the Lord – then God will deal with them in His time and way – and if they are of God – you won’t be able to stop them…The point I want to make most of all is that I don’t really want to be a part of this game. I think you all have done a fine job of exposing each other and there’s nothing more I can add except lets pray for Christ to come and unite us in His Grace and Righteousness.

Regardless of which side of this argument you’re on… there is a simple way out – and if you truly trust the Lord, then trust that His will will indeed be done! Spending all this time bickering is taking away from time Praising the Lord – sharing the Gospel with the lost!

Matthew 13:28-30
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
