Know the Truth

If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:31, 32

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
Romans 1:16

In the March Liberty Letter...

Many evangelical churches are beginning to observe Lent. But Lent is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. What true Christian who has been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb can mourn at this glorious time of the year? Indeed, it is the Resurrection that interprets the cross and brings hope of eternal life. O what a glorious hope! Rejoice!

Paul warns unrepentant sinners they shall not enter the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Then Paul rejoices with those who are born again.

And such were some of you:

but ye are washed,

but ye are sanctified,

but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,

and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:11

And this is the glorious message of Easter. The Easter miracle transforms the tragedy of the cross into the glorious Gospel, or good news. This is a time of rejoicing!

But Lent turns Easter into a time of mourning, not rejoicing.

Easter Is a Holy Day
http://www.libertyadvocate.com/Easter.htm

Years ago, Christians wore new clothes, "Easter finery," on Easter Sunday symbolizing the resurrection of Christ and our new life as a born-again Christian. Women and girls bought new dresses, shoes, spring coats in a pastel color as well as gloves, purses, and new hats to wear to church. Men and boys got new suits, shoes, shirts and ties.

Today, we don't dress up on Easter. We dress down...way down.

Some people argue that God doesn't care how you dress for church - appearance doesn't matter.

Well, He cared about the appearance of the animals Israelites presented for a sacrifice...

Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, or sheep,
wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness:
for that is an abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Deuteronomy 17:1

So, why would we present ourselves in God's house as a living sacrifice with tattoos (Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:28); jeans (rebellion against the Old Church Order of reverence); tennis shoes, shorts, flip flops, other play clothes; and other sinful or disrespectful "blemishes."

We must always offer our best to God, and therefore we should offer our best appearance when we present ourselves in His holy house.

Don't let any pastor or religious leader deceive you...

It is not the sin of vanity to dress in our Sunday Best for the Lord's Day, or to dress in Easter finery for Easter Sunday.

God is the God of beauty. And it is not a sin for women to adorn themselves with beautiful dresses. And

it is not a sin for men to clothe themselves with beautiful suits.

Wear new clothes, "Easter finery," on Easter Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and our new life as a born-again Christian.

Lent Is an Abomination

http://www.libertyadvocate.com/Lent.htm

Many churches spend Lent focusing on mourning and suffering, including the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Focusing on Christ's crucifixion - the cross - denies the glory and power of the Gospel. Focusing on the Crucifixion - the cross - instead of the Resurrection makes the suffering of Christ the heart of the Gospel. But the true heart of the Gospel is the triumph of Christ - the Resurrection. Christ was crucified, but He arose. His resurrection must never be divorced from His crucifixion. The atoning cross and the empty tomb are inseparable. And the cross must never overshadow the empty tomb!

And this is the abomination of Jimmy Swaggart's false gospel. His "message of the cross" denies the power and glory of Christ. Swaggart's false gospel of the cross clearly contradicts Paul's message of the Risen Savior. In other words, Swaggart focuses on the cross, the Crucifixion. On the other hand, Paul focuses on the Resurrection. And this is why Swaggart wickedly slanders and libels the Apostle Paul, alleging that Paul did not fully understand the Gospel.

Swaggart and others allow the Crucifixion to overshadow the Resurrection. This is an abomination.

Mary, Queen of Heaven
http://www.libertyadvocate.com/Mary,%20Queen%20of%20Heaven.htm

There is a dark mystery about Catholicism's meaning of Lent and Easter.

And the secret to unveiling this dark mystery is found in the ancient Babylonian liturgical wailing for Tammuz, and the ancient pagan worship of the Queen of Heaven.

Wise Men at the Manger: Truth or Myth?

http://www.libertyadvocate.com/Wise%20Men.htm

Some Christians allege the Wise Men did not visit Baby Jesus in a manger or stable, but in a house. They base this on Matthew 2:11...

And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

And they claim He was about two years old when the Wise Men visited Him based on Matthew 2:16...

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth,
and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem,
and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

Others say the Wise Men visited Jesus while a baby in a manger in a stable.

Were the Wise Men at the manger?

Women Must Be Silent?

False Teachers Spencer Smith and Lori Alexander

http://www.libertyadvocate.com/women_must_be_silent.htm

What do Independent Fundamental Baptist YouTuber and preacher Spencer Smith
and The Transformed Wife blogger and author Lori Alexander have in common?

They belittle and demean and degrade women:
women must be silent in the church and in the home.

Apparently, they believe women do not have any gifts of the Holy Spirit
for the benefit of the church or the home. In other words, on the Day of Pentecost,
the women were not filled with the Holy Ghost as recorded in God's Holy Word.

Do not let them deceive you with their devilish lie.

On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit poured out spiritual gifts on all - men and women.

Rebranding the Church
Rebranding the Church (libertyadvocate.com)

It is outrageous there was more outcry among Christians
when Cracker Barrel's CEO rebranded the restaurant than
when Evangelical CEOs rebranded the church!

Was there a massive outcry when corrupt church CEOs commanded us
to make the church more inclusive by welcoming into church
fellowship and membership unrepentant sinners:
fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, and all sinners?

Evangelical Communism: DEI in the Church
http://www.libertyadvocate.com/Evangelical%20Communism.htm

Communism has infiltrated Evangelical churches in many ways,
including DEI: diversity, equity, and inclusion.

You may insist, "Not MY church!"

But many professing Christians applaud the government's stance against DEI,

but are blind to DEI in their own denominations and churches.

DEI in the church is designed to decrease independent thinking,

deny equality to anyone who tries to block the communist takeover,
and exclude anyone who doesn't go along with the communist party line.

Rick Warren openly admits he uses communist tactics in the church.

1. Identify those who are resisting the changes;

2. Assess the effectiveness of their opposition;

3. Befriend those who are undecided about the changes;

4. Marginalize more persistent resisters;

5. Vilify those who stay and fight; and

6. Establish new rules that will silence all resistance.

Warren's Purpose Driven Life, Purpose Driven Church, and global PEACE plan
use countless corrupted Bible versions to deny
sound doctrines and support communist doctrines.

Warren preaches love, and love is equated with globalism.

Warren's writings are communist propaganda of

mind control and behavior modification

disguised as Christian teaching.

Sinners in the Sanctuary:

Changing the Church of God into

the Synagogue of Satan

http://www.libertyadvocate.com/Sinners%20in%20the%20Sanctuary.htm

Modern man-made theology teaches sinners must

be welcomed into the church...

We must make them feel comfortable.

Listen...the church is for the saints.

The church is a holy sanctuary for a holy people

to offer holy worship to a holy God.

The church is a sanctuary from the sinful world.

Do you really want pedophiles in the congregation

sitting next to your children and grandchildren?

Do you really want lewd men in church lusting after

your daughters and granddaughters,

or your wife?

The church is a house of worship.

And sinners cannot offer worship to God

because they are in rebellion against God's Law.

Therefore, sinners are not in one accord with the saints.

Sinners and saints are not like-minded.

Sinners and saints are not one heart.

Sinners and saints are not one mind.

And to welcome sinners into the church

destroys the sanctity of the sanctuary.

Neither Jesus nor His disciples ever brought

sinners into the church.

The purpose of evangelism is to go out

into the world and win souls to Christ...then

bring them into the church for discipleship.

We must revive evangelism.

Remember the old tent crusades that

traveled from town to town

calling sinners to repentance?

We must revive evangelistic crusades.

We must revive personal evangelism.

We must go out into the world in search

of lost sinners and bring them first

to Christ before bringing them

into the church.
