Naming Names
by David J. Stewart
"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." -Isaiah 58:1
I recently visited a church which I had once been a member of for several years before moving away. The former pastor had since died and a new pastor had come on the scene. As I listened to his preaching on a Sunday morning, I was a bit saddened as I listened to him preach against Jack Daniels and Marijuana. The average person sitting in the service that morning probably didn't think anything of it, but I noticed something which was alarming to me as a Christian. The senior pastor years before had always preached firm against beer and cigarettes as well. The new preacher was preaching against Jack Daniels and Marijuana.
How many people drink Jack Daniels or smoke Marijuana? No doubt quite a few people, but nowhere near the amount of people who drink beer and smoke cigarettes. I was saddened that the new pastor was watering down his message (for whatever reason is irrelevant). I am not trying to be critical of him and surely would never mention his name. I do NOT believe it is ever appropriate to mention someone's name unless they are teaching or preaching damnable heresies. I wrote this web page to simply admonish other believers to expose sin by name, expose false religions by name, and to expose false prophets by name. For example...the Roman Catholic church is straight out of hell. I make no bones about it, it is a Satanic organization owned and operated by the devil himself. We need to start calling out names from our pulpits across America! I have met people who went to church their whole life that had no idea that the Jehovah Witnesses were a false religion. How sad! There are so many deadbeat churches across America that tickle their member's ears and scratch their member's backs, but the truth is vaguely preached if at all. People need to be taught what to watch out for. We must warn them!
Beer is from hell! Beer drinking is foolish! Drunkenness is a sin! I will not go as far as to call drinking alcohol a sin because the Bible does not say so. Yet, drunkenness is a sin! So how much alcohol do we have to drink before we become drunk? Where do you draw the line? The Bible is clear that drunkenness is a wicked sin, but I cannot show you a Scripture that says it's a sin to drink alcohol. Proverbs 20:1 says that it is unwise to drink beer, but that does not necessarily make it a sin. Sex is not a sin within the bounds of marriage, but outside of those boundaries it is an abomination unto God. There is a clear-cut line with sex. However, with alcohol it is not a clear-cut line. How much BAC (blood alcohol content) is safe? The legal standard used to be 0.10%, now it has been lowered to 0.08%. That means that is 8/100ths of your blood is alcohol, your a criminal according to the laws of the United States of America. However, when does God consider a person "drunk." At what point do you have to answer to God for the SIN of drunkenness (as Noah did)? The Bible CLEARLY commands us in 1st Thessalonians 5:22 to "abstain from all appearance of evil." This is a command from God. If we do not abstain from all appearance of evil, then we are sinning. In this context, one could reason that it is indeed a SIN to consume alcohol because it contains so many inherent evils. You must decide. Alcohol is a dangerous substance to toy with, why drink it at all. I like what the former pastor of the church I mentioned used to say..."You can't take two drinks of beer if you don't take the first!" That is excellent advice from a wise man.
I have never drank a drop of beer by God's grace. I hate beer, I watched it destroy my mother's and father's life. I hate beer with all my heart. Beer has murdered millions. But you say, "It's not the beer that kills, it's the people drinking the beer." Ok, I agree, but too many people are irresponsible. There is NO SUBSTANCE in America which has led to more deaths than alcohol. Alcohol is a drug! It is dangerous (and it is totally unnecessary! Why would you want to consume a substance into your body that could cause you to hurt yourself, someone else or God forbid...even your own loved ones. I still think about the incident where a drunk driver ran over and killed his own 10 year old son. Idiot! I have to say, your an idiot if you drink alcohol. I realize that most people can handle it, but it only takes that one time. Drinking beer is nothing less than playing Russian-Roulette. I'm one of the few people that will get in your face and tell you that beer can ruin your life, just as can many other evils in society today.
I hate damnable heresies, but I love people. I hate the Jehovah Witnesses' religion with all my heart, but I love lost sinners who are in need of Christ. I hate gambling! I hate abortion! I hate cigarette smoking that put my mother in a wheelchair at age 53 for the rest of her life! I hate the lies of government! I hate the evil Federal Reserve system! I hate the injustice of Enron! I hate the injustice of the Supreme Court! I hate Hollywood! I hate homosexuality! I hate child abuse! I hate divorce! I hate the demonic public school system! I hate the Social Security scam! I hate the stealing of tax-payer's money by the government! I hate the killing of innocent people in Iraq! I hate the New World Order! I hate Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove and every other Satanic organization on the planet! I hate Wicca and Freemasonry! I hate witchcraft! I hate Harry Potter! I hate horoscopes, astrology, tarot cards, Ouija boards, séances, psychics, palm reading, crystal balls, necromancy, worshipping the dead and the Virgin Mary of the Catholic false Religion. I hate Islam! I hate Buddhism! I hate Scientology! I hate Mormonism! I hate Atheism! I hate rock and roll! I hate soap operas! I hate the devils' music! I hate pornography! I hate sex tourism! I hate the United nations! I hate population control, sterilization and forced abortions. I hate the rigged, corrupt and godless pharmaceutical industry! I hate recited prayers that aren't from the heart! I hate indifference! I hate apathy! I hate the heresy of baptismal regeneration! I hate communism! I hate feminism! I hate sex-changes! I hate false Bibles! I hate the New International Version of the Bible! I hate to watch millions of people starve to death while Americans spend $280,000,000,000 to destroy a sovereign nation in an illegal war against Iraq! I hate the hypocrisy of America! I hate the selfishness of American corporations and the betrayal of our elected officials by allowing America's manufacturing jobs to flee by the tens-of-millions to third-world countries to exploit the poor! Yes, I hate all these things and a whole lot more. By the way, God hates all these things too. I know so because God hates evil and all of the above things I mentioned are EVIL!
May God give us the courage and resolve to take a stand BY NAME against the evils of our day. Notice that I did NOT attack any people in the above list, I attacked the sin, not the individual. There is a world of difference. We must love ALL people and be patient with them. If you met me on the street, I would respect you and not mention any of these things unless you asked for my opinion. But this website is my pulpit and you are my welcomed guest. We must call sin by name and not beat around the bush. Yes, Jack Daniels is evil, but so is beer. Yes, marijuana is evil, but so are cigarettes. Let's not dip our sails!!! If preaching hard against sin is going to lower the offering in the plate, then so be it. If you are a preacher and do not have this resolve, then you are a comprising betrayer of THE TRUTH. America is in the horrible mess it's in because of weak-kneed, compromising preachers who are more worried about the offering next Sunday than getting the truth out. I accept no money on this website, I can say whatever I feel is right to be said. I say, let's stop beating around the bush and start shelling the corn. Let's start calling sin and Satanic organizations by name.
