Hello brother,
How are you?
Just curious to know if you’ve run into an American missionary couple there in Japan (I think they live in Osaka now) Dan & Karen Ellrick who have been there since 1996. They were with Mission to Unreached People; I’ve worked for Karen back when they were still in the US.
God bless,
Glenn
PS I’ve also cut coffee temporarily because I have eczema, but perhaps after reading your post, I should permanently.
Hi Glenn. It’s been 6 days now since I stopped a caffeine intake and I’m feeling very well indeed! Sorry but I have now knowledge of your friends in Osaka. It’s about 400 miles from home. God bless you!
Hi James, Wellll… Pope AC Benny is retiring eh! And the election for the new pope around easter – easter is a time in which a lot of ecumenical devilish activity goes on too. I wonder if this pope will be a little younger to last the distance and perhaps he’ll be the last? (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10864908)
I should have said in case it’s not obvious, with the Bible lists in previous comment, take one chapter from each list to make up the ten chapters per day.
Thank you Sam for your input to this site!
Hi James, It’s been my experience that the most lost of people are the religious. The word of God is the only remedy you will no doubt agree. Here’s a couple of short exhortations relevant to the times for anyone who would like to read them.
First one:
Traditions
Traditions of men undermine the authority of the Word of God – Beware of religious traditions of any church or organisation that aren’t soundly based on the word of God
Matt. 15:1-9
Mark 7:9,13
Man’s traditions a deceptive robber
Col. 2:8
Men learn vain manner of living by tradition from previous generations
1Pet. 1:18
Men can establish godly generations upon the word of God
Duet. 4:1-14
Duet. 6:4-9
Ephes. 6:1-4
Godly apostolic traditions ARE to be obeyed – apostles are sent by God (Strong’s 0652) and their writings are to be considered as scripture
2Peter 3:15-18
2Thess. 2:15
2Thess. 3:6
Acts 2:42
2Tim. 3:13-4:5
After we are saved our minds need to be renewed by the Word of God
Ephes. 4:23
Rom. 12:1-2
Believers need to be continually washed by the “water of the word”
Ephes. 5:25b-27
Believers are to contend for THE FAITH once delivered to God’s people . There was only ONE faith given by God -
given to us in the scriptures. It bears no relationship to traditions of men – it’s not Baptist, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian etc.
Jude 1:3
Ephes. 4:5
It’s simply the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ
Ephes. 1:1
James 2:1
1Cor. ch. 3
Second one:
True Christians Are Disciples
Acts 11:26 Is one of only 3 references in the New Testament where the word Christian is used. This is an important reference because it gives us vital information to see if someone is a Christian or not.
No-one becomes a Christian by merely praying a little prayer to invite Jesus into their heart – at an church altar call for example. Take a look at the instruction of Peter to those at the piont of being saved – speaking as one sent by God, as an Apostle – Acts 2:37-41. People need to understand what they are committing themselves to and to count the cost – Luke 14:25-35, more references below. The verse cited above – Acts 11:26 – makes it clear that prior to being known as Christians, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ were known as disciples. This verse shows us that discipleship is not an optional extra for a Christian, it’s in fact not additional at all, but is synonymous with being a true Christian.
Additional references to ponder on in relationship to the above: John 1:12-13; John 8:31-32; Luke 9:23-24; Luke 14:25-35; becoming a Christian/Disciple we enter into a covenant relationship between God and ourselves 2Cor. 6:14-7:1.
We do need to be warned that there is such a thing as “false brethren,” or false disciples, and of course we need to make sure we aren’t found to be false or pseudo. 2Cor. 11:26, Gal. 2:4.
[Note: It must be realised that we cannot earn our salvation by becoming a disciple. We are saved by GRACE through FAITH - Ephesians 2:8-10. But we are saved HAVING AN INTENTION to live a different life from before - trusting God to give us ALL we need to do this - 2Peter ch.1. It is to be expected that we will see fruits of repentance. Luke 3:8, with surrounding verses for context. Baptism is a step further than repentance - we are submitting our old life for burial and taking Jesus\' resurrection life by faith to now live by - Col. 2:12-13.]
(Got this from off the internet – offered freely for people to use – obviously not commercially)
Helpful lists for daily reading of ten chapters of the Bible a day (if that’s too much, you could start with spreading it over two days). Read at a good pace without stopping to look up cross references etc. You can always revisit for close study things that stand out later. Some people slightly modify lists e.g. some like to have Romans with the Acts list (10) so that it is read more often. It’s amazing how the chapters tie in with each other at times! A good way to get a good over all view on what the word of god teaches. :)

Hello James, Sam,
What Sam wrote kinda is the same as the story of the Anabaptists from the book below which has been a blessing for me to read and would like to share with you all:
http://www.earlychurchtruth.com/early_anabaptist.pdf
God bless,
Glenn
Thank you Glen for sharing this with us. I downloaded it and am listening to the text using text to voice software. Very feeding indeed!
James
Thanks Glen, I’ll take a look tonight – i note that you have street preaching on your site too – I do some of that myself.
Hi James,
A short video on the effects of television (hellivision as has been aptly called by others) on the brain.
(youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k23un_D3tf4)
Here’s another link with additional info: (antioligarch.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/eu-making-paedophilia-legal-across-europe/)
Some other thoughts: I’m also thinking it may not be far fetched that human sacrifice may come out in the open in the not too distant future. You know I don’t find it at all hard to see the world worshipping the beast and the dragon who gives power to the beast as the word says will happen. The world is being so conditioned and engaged in witchcraft in so many ways today isn’t it; Harry Potter, C.S Lewis, Tolkien and so many other ways beside, perhaps kind of like the world is being “initiated.” The experiences that many professing christians have opened up to in the Pentecostal Charismatic churches are getting them filled up with devils also… False revivals. If you do some research – perhaps you have – on Azuza St re the beginnings/roots of the pentecostal movement, well the tree of Pentecostalism and Charismania hasn’t been good from the start and the tree is known by it’s fruit. (I’ve renounced anything to do with these movements) In inspecting the fruit you can’t just look at the appearance, I believe, you have to look deeper. Another movement that has had influence in the past is Keswick conventions. Then there is the so called Welsh revival which Pentecostals like to refer to – if you look at Jesse Penn Lewis’s book (which you can find to download for free) “The war on the saints”, you find that that was troubled by lots of counterfeit demonic stuff going on. Again, the fruit was not good. (When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost there wasn’t a whole lot of counterfeit experiences happening similtaneously. God is always consistant in holiness and doing things “decently and in order” when He pours out His Spirit.) There’s been a lot of Satanic activity in Chistianity for a looong time! With some of the stuff i’ve seen over the years it got me asking lots of questions and looking below the surface of things. I believe people are VERY READY for the Anti Christ in in both the secular and religious world. I don’t believe there is any religious group not infiltrated ready for the global rule of the Antichrist. I will never join ANY of them! Do you know about the ECUMENICAL movement James? If not that is a key area to look into, it is a big key to understand how churchianity is being more and more brought under global control and brought back to Mother (Rome).
Have a look at this re Kundalini Yoga manifestations in Pentecostal churches ( youtube.com/watch?v=eBpw2oQrvMM ) there are more videos in the series. Not an endorsment of Andrew Strom and his revival beliefs. I don’t know if you’ve heard about the ecstatic laughter that has gone on in some circles (laughter when there should be repentance), well I found something interesting in the weekend, there’s also a laughter yoga which I didn’t know about. (laughteryoga.org/)
I believe the devil has got them laughing along with him in mockery of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I would say it would give the devil a very powerful hold in a persons life opening up in this way through laughter. Also consider falses tongues gifts – when you see what James has to say about the tongue in ch. 3. So it pays to make certain that it is in fact from God that we receive the gift of tongues – I believe that most today is counterfeit and demonic, that’s the conclusion I’ve come to. Remember the purpose was mainly a sign to the Jews – 1Cor. 14:21-22.
It’s interesting to note considering the above on the kundalini etc, the role of the Antichrist Pope in these days in bringing all of the religions under one umbrella, and the way the Catholic church is so accepting of other religions… It seems to confirm once again so many things piont to Rome don’t they (the Mother of Harlots).
Did you know that the catholic church calls Mary “the queen of heaven” – the queen of heaven is spoke of in Jeremiah ch’s 7 and 44. The Popes of Rome have been working hard to present everyone to this evil diety.
To finish on a more positive note: Matt. 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Ezekiel 9 talks about a better “mark” to take.
I did get a bit carried away here didn’t I…
Thanks James.
Thank you Sam for your good input to this site! I certainly agree with you on all those points. I’ve known about the ecumenical movement for a long time but only in recent years I’ve come to see that the goal is putting the Roman Pope back in power. I was raised a Roman Catholic. I know what you mean by Mary being called the Queen of Heaven and the RCCs unbiblical teaching that we can only come to Jesus through her. Thank God for the Truth of the Holy Scriptures, the KJV Bible that has set us free!
John 8:31 ¶Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Some academics like to quote from John 8:32 but they conveniently leave out the prerequisite of knowing the truth stated in John 8:31, i.e. the need to continue to learn and study, receive and believe the the Word of God.
James, I am glad that you’re aware of ecumenism etc.
Yes noting the conditions in the word for receiving things from God are very important (and I note your particular application re studying the word). The conditions in the word, of God being a father to us, being our God, and having Him walk in our midst, are especially important. 2Corinthians 6:14-7:1. God’s people have always been a separated people – separated by God’s holy (or separated Spirit).
Jn. 17:14-19
The doctrine of Biblical separation isn’t spoken of hardly at all today in these times of apostacy. It stands out in sharp contrast next to ecumenism doesn’t it!
One last thought. I like to say to people that all the way through the world’s history it’s always had a lot of religion. So it’s reasonable for me to assume that even with the wickedness of the times there would have been a lot of religion at the same time. But only Noah and his family were saved. Everyone else perished! So there was something very different about Noah’s religion/faith. One thing is certain, Noah took the judgement of God very seriously. It’s evident the other people of his time didn’t. Heb. 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, MOVED WITH FEAR, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by FAITH.
Today, as you’ve no doubt noticed James, the judgements of God are such a foreign concept to so many!
2Peter 2:5 Noah was faithfully a “preacher of righteousness” in his generation. May the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ SUPPORT all who make it their aim to be like Noah in this time. 2Peter 2: 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
Hi James, Things are really speading along toward the judgements of God being poured out as spoken of in Revelations aren’t they. Have a look at this article I saw the magazine at the supermarket when I went shopping so i looked it up online. Be careful of the vile suggestive wording, pray before reading… (uncensored.co.nz/2009/03/29/absolutely-shocking-germany-and-eu-to-legalise-paedophilia/)
James, here’s another link to something on a similar line to the links I gave last time on Ireland – this time it concerns America. It becomes clearer and clearer that the governments are giving over control to the UN doesn’t it! Note the phrase again originating from Nazi Germany “the best interests of the child.”
christiannewswire.com/news/6093370969.html
Hi James, I thought I would give some additional links re the Irish Children’s Rights (read, States rights) for anyone who’s interested.
As follows:
New Note 3
Irish referendum and related matters.
Info re the children’s rights (read the states rights) referendum in Ireland – it passed Nov 10th.

Thank you, Sam. I’m watching the youtube videos now.
Brother,
Alright; you may opine that the Didache is not inspired. It is however uncanny and unequivocal for the document to say that the enemy will appear as the Lord to deceive many.
God bless,
Glenn
Hi James, I came across some interesting stuff today re the state and its ever increasingly claiming ownership of us all and all that is most precious to us. I am glad that I am twice the Lord’s 1/ He made me 2/ He redeemed me. So I don’t belong to anyone else – not even to myself.
1Cor. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Rev. 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Here’s the links, the second one is especially informative:
lifesitenews.com/news/irish-childrens-rights-referendum-passes-with-massive-support-from-governme
freethinkingvoice.org/index.php/irelands-childrens-rights-referendum
An after thought…here’s a way to use Google more privately – well I hope so anyway. Either Ixquick.com or alternatively Startpage.com
I know about Startpage.com You could also use Tor / Privoxy and become anonymous even to your ISP! About Facebook, I know about privacy / security concerns, but if I was overly concerned about them, I wouldn’t have any websites at all. I think in today’s world the only way to remain anonymous is not to touch any electrical means of communication whatsoever and to pay in cash only for everything you buy.
Being COMPLETELY anonymous I don’t think is a good idea…
Hi James,
Here’s an article you will find interesting.
White House ‘secede’ petitions reach 675,000 signatures, 50-state participation
dailycaller.com/2012/11/14/white-house-secede-petitions-reach-660000-signatures-50-state-participation/
Thank you Sam! I posted it on my Facebook wall. Are you on Facebook?
Great James. No I’m not on Face book, I don’t really like Face book. And I don’t like Google’s unhealthy interest in us all either, you will know what I mean I’m sure.
The good Lord knows all about everyone too, but what a different Spirit:-)
The Lord is not an oppressor Acts 10:38 makes that one clear!

Hi James, here’s an interesting article and it makes me wonder if there’s going to be a false second coming staged on the mount of olives. The real descension as per the mount i believe is after the vials are poured out. TBN what a wicked false christian business racket!!!
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-israel-evangelical-20121001,0,6110978.story?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+latimes%2Fnews%2Fnationworld%2Fworld+%28L.A.+Times+-+World+News%29&utm_content=Google+Read
Thank you Sam. I too believe there will be a false Second Coming. This is what Project Blue Beam is all about: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_bluebeam04.htm
Thanks James: I’ve just had a bit of a look at that site you gave. I’ll do a little more exploring on that subject later.:)
It makes a lot of sense. I was reminded of Benjamin Creme (spelling?) who claims to be in the know and to be the one to usher in Maitreya – i think I’m understanding that correctly – he speaks of maitreya communicating telepathically with the global community in their languages.
Another thought that I had was about the devastation that many professing believers are going to experience when this staged rapture occurs and they find that they are left behind. I don’t believe in pretrib or so-called midtrib rapture – the scriptures are very clear that it is immediately after the trib the real Jesus Christ comes back. The account in Acts ch 1 of Jesus ascension is very clear also how “this same Jesus” is comming back. Not another christ in another body in another age. The words of the Angels are very specific Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
One last thought, it is sooo gooood that God can give us the courage to face the reality of things. So many people already are so retreating into various forms of fantasy to cope with the very RAW life that we face in these times, with all of the various pressures upon us. 1Co_16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men (e.i. act like men), be strong. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengeneth me. The Lord Jesus can enable ANYONE to live a QUALITY of life through the eternal life that he puts on the inside of those who belong to him and not to just be a survivor for however long we are around for. 2Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I KNOW whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Thank God it’s not just a belief system, we come to KNOW him whom we have believed! Hallelujah!
Hope this encourages someone.:)
Thank you Sam for your good input to this website and the Word of God you share. You might know I have several posts on this site that expose the false doctrine of pre-tribulation rapture as being unbiblical.
http://jamesjpn.net/index.php/tag/rapture/
Hello brother,
I would like to draw your attention to a document that was once considered part of the NT canon and was conveniently “lost” for centuries. Please read it, especially the last chapter which describes the deception discussed in this thread.
God bless,
Glenn
http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/didache.html
Thank you Glenn for sharing it. I read the Roberts-Donaldson translation. But it does not seem to have the same tone and spirit as the Bible in my opinion.
Hi James, Here’s a site that KJV wallpapers – thought you might like it. They have a sister site also for ecards.
http://kjvchristianwallpapers.blogspot.com
Thank you Sam! I’ll make that hyperlink that text so people can click on it and go there.
James, A sight that may be of interest. It’s about Mind Control – in particular through movies and music etc. Things on this site can be a bit graphic at times as a caution to your readers.
http://vigilantcitizen.com/
Just to add to my previous comment. I don’t usually listen to his audios they are generally long winded – I just check out the PDF’s to see if there’s anything of interest.
James, some news re items – re europe etc. He has stuff regularly each week – not an endorsement of everything on his site – but he does come up with some good info.
http://www.contendingfortruth.com/wp-content/uploads/End-Time-Current-Events-8-26-12.pdf
James,This link is related to Freemasonry and other secret societies. It also has about the Loyal Orange Order and related. This subject matter is not brought up usually when Freemasonry is discussed on websites, well i haven’t seen it anyway. You’ve no doubt heard of the orange men in Ireland and there marches…
http://www.evangelicaltruth.com/index.html
Thank you Sam. I’ve never heard of some of the material on this site before, especially the Royal Black Institution.
Hi James, I have some more links that you and your readers may be interested in. http://www.spiritlessons.com/Documents/pilgrims_progress.pdf
This an old book from the sixteen hundreds – an allegorical story of the kinds of things that a christian will encounter on his/her journey to the celestial city. John Bunyan – the author – is worthy of being listened to because he genuinely suffered for his faith. He spent 12 years in prison for preaching without a license at which time he wrote this book.
Here is a site which has the same in audio: http://www.worldslastchance.com/the-pilgrims-progress.html
One other link. This is an historical book of the martyrdoms of believers throughout history written in the fifteen hundreds:
http://www.ntslibrary.com/PDF%20Books/Foxes%20Book%20of%20Martyrs.pdf
Hope some people are blessed by these.
James,here’s an interesting link about what some of the elite are “betting on” re economic collapse in Europe. http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-set-up-for-global-economic-collapse.html
Thanks Sam! You are a valuable contributor to what this website is meant to share with the world.
Thanks James – that’s kind of you to say :)
Hi James,

Hello James Arendt,
I don’t find anymore the infos about how the banks of London manage the whole financial world.
Anyway, I took a look at the site and I found among other things from your Ali bababa cave “Hollow Earth and UFOs”. I must say i had seen the movie made from the book of Vernes : Journey to the center of the Earth and it is similar to what we find in this Bible verse that says that the mountains shall melt when the sun rises. There is about the similar verse in Malachy 4. I think I told you already about this, no ? In the movie, the guy realises he found a world within the world. I saw it in 3 D and I didn’t like the option because they taint the glasses that way you can’t enjoy everything specially the colors.
Alrigth, God bless you,
Let’s put it in God’s hands.
I must say I came across your site by accident, and it was pleasing to see you were another linux user. I too have had trouble with Gnome-Shell and Unity. I tried LMDE, but updates were hurting the stability of my system. I am now leaning toward Xubuntu, at least until Gnome/Ubuntu maybe straighten things out. Configuring XFCE for your own tastes can be a little different, but I found two YouTube videos that helped me a lot. I submitted them to the Going Linux podcast (recommended) and they put them in the show notes for episode #142. Hope this Helps:

On Saturday, September 12, a group of people including myself with gather in the city square to say “Yes to Life” – we are against abortion, and we are not afraid to say it out loud.
Please pray before this gathering, which will occur at 1 PM Norwegian time. Pray that people will be touched by our message, that there will be many people who join us at the gathering, and for a miracle: that there will be no abortions conducted in Norway on September 12.
I rely on your prayers. Thank you.
God bless you!
I posted your “The Amazing Story” about the global warming hoax on my Facebook, where I spend most my online time now!
Bravo to your New Site!
Your Spirit Bro

Thanks bro for your good comments. But it’s not “my” amazing story about global warming on that site, but John Coleman’s. Thanks for sharing it!
-James
Yesm I knew that! But thanks for reminding me again to be more clear!
On the first Saturday of October is the Worldwide Prayer Day for Life and Peace. All that is “required” of participants is that they believe Life is sacred and abortion is wrong. Please join thousands of people worldwide on October 3, and pray for an end to abortion!
