For This Reason

After years of hearing that eating the Lord's Supper unworthily was spiritual death, I spent some time reading Paul's instructions to the Assembly of Saints that we were read in church repeatedly.   There was something inside me that just did not get speaking death over the church while they ate and drank the body and blood of Christ.  It seemed intentional.  Cruel and somehow completely backwards from what I percieved about God.

The lies he has told to the American people are demonic and there is no truth in him. Jesus says so. Lies only have two sources, ignorance or evil.  Also,over the last 3.5 years he has led, I have watched God’s people losing their ability to hear Truth.
