I got some positive then confusing emails from Australian man named Glenn who ended up having some issues with my ministry. Since I love to test my self and I have nothing to hide; I decided to answer it here to edify all.
See his emails below combined with my answers having ***** next to my words below.
*************************************************
Update:
see Glenn's wicked reply below after I answered him biblically line by line as he asked me to do. I even adjust several things on my site per his email. But notice how he gives NO biblical answers at all, he ignores my changes and he just fleshly rants! I wont answer him again as heretics we must let them go after a warning. Titus 3
This proves America is NOT the only place with wicked carnal men who claim Jesus.... down under is LOADED with them from my experience. But I do also know God has a remnant there, glory to Him!

G'day false prophet.
You are so weak you cant handle being challenged or questioned.
Saw your post on facebook crying about how you were told there is no beast as system and all you got is Rev13:16.
Crying about how it was pointed out to you that the word the great commission is not biblical. You poor thing you must be so weak.
You point the finger at others as though you're right and above every one else with your wife Deb conspiring with you. Hiding behind your wife's skirt. You're not a man. You put on your toughy act like your the macho alpha man but you are weak and a loser and full of pretence.
Something I said has hit a nerve exposing you for the wickedness, the hatred which is murder that is in your heart.
You need to cry out to God for mercy. Woe be unto you if you don't cease from attacking the people of God you wolf dressed up in sheep's clothing. Better repent lest a worse thing come upon you.
Can't answer me can you?
Why are you hiding? Too scared to answer me?
Because what I say is exposing what you really are you fake phony
I pray that you repent too. PLEASE, get down on your face to God and cry out for mercy.
Repent of your prideful inflated self importance.
Who do you think you are, you are no better than me. But I've noticed this trend in the American brand of "christianity" of this hyper "I'm right and your wrong" attitude. Which STINKS to God.
I come from a very humble background and lower middle class parents. I've been in the faith since I was 4. It's been a rocky road. It hasn't always been a steady stable walk. I am now 66. I do not need anyone to stand over me trying to bully me in the name of the Lord. But I will listen to someone who shows genuine Christ-like humility.
Seems you're good at giving rebukes but not taking any correction whatsoever. Ecclesiastes says be not overly righteous. Maybe you've forgotten that.
My suggestion is if you're seeking to build up the body of Christ, to do that in a humble and loving way. Not like a school teacher. Not in the attitude or belief that you're to chastise everyone.
So please repent of your pride and sense of right-ness and humble yourself under the mighty hand of God for those who exalt themselves shall be abased.
All that off my chest, I will thank you though for caring enough to reply.
Hey smart arse. You think you're such a big man don't you. You need to wake up to yourself. Nothing you said holds up. It is all the fruit of a self opinionated man, of someone who is up himself. Pull your head out, mate. It's stuck up your rear end. Then you maybe able to see.
Good riddance to one who causes divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which I have learned (Rom16:17).
The Pharisees haven't faded away. They're still with us. And you are proof of that.
You won't be answering any more of my emails. WOW! Tough are you? Easy to see why you wont. Because you're a loser. Because your arguments don't hold up. You are a deceived child of Satan.
And you are a stench to God.
Yeah I will be moving on now too. . No time for fools .. No time for hypocrites who cloak themselves with bible doctrine.
Good thing you for you you don't live nearby. I'd wanna punch your head in and make you cry.
Another cowboy. Yee hah.
Take my name down IMMEDIATELY

Here was my original reply to his emails and he ignored it all.
**********************
Hi Jim. Greetings from Australia.
I have only recently found your website and I love the content.
***** He started out loving my content then switches to rebuke me, not stable minded in this it seems. See James 1:8
I forwarded your link to someone who is an avowed fanatical King James only-er. (He is an evangelist from Australia who lives in Thailand and knows all about the Latin Vulgate etc which when he explains to me about all that it just does my head in!). Well that started a lot of debate when I sent him the link in the part exposing KJ only people as cult like. He basically thinks you don't know what you're talking about.
**** This KJV only man that he knows has no good understanding here as the KJV does have various errors like the word Easter. See my articles on KJV at the teaching blog that proves that point.
(I found it in your topic explaining about Chick tracts.). I am a KJ reader and I love the KJV but I had to disagree with him. I think the fanaticism is in the wrong spirit. I do agree with you about the Chick tracts.
**** Well, we agree on something......
I somewhat disagree with telling the unregenerate to repent & turn from their sin as I see you and others do in the streets. A sign you hold says Jesus shed his blood, and that we are to shed sin and worldliness. To me, that and most street preaching sounds like railing upon sinners, and sounds like trying to put new wine into old wine skins. Am I misconstruing about pouring new wine into old wineskins? Do these words not apply to what I see as possibly in error of seeking to make converts in the streets, beaches, events etc?
**** This one is very puzzling as Jesus, Paul, Peter and John the baptist and all the Prophets preached..... repent! I fear he needs to read his KJV better. How does the spirit end up in sinful men... lest they repent as God gives it to those who OBEY? Act 5:32 / we re to leave forsake (shed from out life) sin and worldliness.....
I am open to correction if you are sure God is telling you I am wrong or misguided in this. Please though don't tell me you/they are "obeying" the 'great commission' ("great commission" I see as man's teaching, "great commision" not found in scripture). And please don't give me the worn out go into all the world and preach the gospel line. I know and understand that.
**** Open to correction? So he does or does NOT believe we are called to go preach the gospel? More confusion here by this aussie! Read Mark 16 and Matt 28... we are commanded to go! Note: He uses the word.... fanaticism.... but it is NOT in the scripture either.
I believe that what John on Patmos saw on the Lord's day was the beast working its evil from the garden of Eden till the end of time. Yes, of course some things in Revelation are future and haven't happened yet.
My name is Glenn.
May more of God's peace and power be yours.
******** The Lords day is NOT Sunday Glenn. John was referring to the day of the Lord. See my article on that at the teaching blog as it is a common evangelical heresy.
In your talk explaining about what Philippians 1:18 means you say the devil is a lion. On your website you say "Why trust DontPerish" yet you say the devil is a lion. The bible doesn't say he's a lion it says he prowls around LIKE a roaring lion.
****** In that audio, I say the devil the lion seeking whom he can devour. Good catch Glenn.... I will make a note there to say on that audio he is LIKE a lion. Anyone who knows my ministry knows, I do not teach his IS a lion but like a lion. Its a matter of misunderstood/mis used words there..... not false teaching.
One thing should be made clear: no man or ministry is to be trusted only the man Christ Jesus. So to say that you or your website is to be trusted is therefore wrong and even cult-like. If you are really serving God you would point to Christ Jesus as the only one that we can trust. "But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man." John2:24,25.
****** Here he talks about trust ONLY in Jesus, not men and I agree. Good point! My point on that link was to say you can test (not trust) me for truth, NOT to put your TRUST in me as a man. I will use a different word on that post to not cause others to stumble.
Paul DID trust some people.... as he did say this about having trust in others:
For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 2 Cor 1:13
You incorrectly claim that the beast is a system and you call the devil a lion. Only Jesus is the lion, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Is my questioning you about what you claim to be the beast and what I believe the beast really is not "cogent"? Also you have a post about the beast "system" as relating to crypto currency. No where in scripture does it call the beast a system. The beast as a "system" in my understanding is just man's teaching. The beast as I believe I have been led to understand is simply the dragon and all his fallen angels working in unison to fight against God and his Christ and Christ's body. I am not "spiritualizing" as I have been accused of. I do not believe in the extremely popular commonly held belief that the beast is [only] future and just starting to happen now in this age. In fact it sounds more like a cunningly devised fable to me. That said, I did previously believe that the internet is the beast but I no longer hold to that belief.
**** So he admits he once believed the internet was the beast? But he is upset I use the term beast "system"? The bible does show it will be a global controlling order. See Rev 13 / all to take a mark or not buy or sell. Call it a system, network, order, government, law, web... whatever. The word system is NOT is scripture but it will be some kind of a "organized devised plot" to pull off global control so; his point here is NOT valid or cogent. Note: he uses the word BIBLE but it is NOT in the scripture. Just saying Glenn....
If I'm wrong prove that scripturally please, since you are one who clearly loves to sit in Moses' seat claiming to be an authority of God's word and having great bible knowledge.
**** It will be a system, law, edict, order or network per Rev 13 as its global. Here he makes "false claims" about me that are not true so no answer needed. Liars wont enter the kingdom Glenn.... Rev 22:14 and 15
Thank you for asking but of course I understand about repentance.
The question is do you understand though?
**** yes I do Glenn. I teach on it all over my website. Are you a teacher and where can I see your ministry sir?
I hope you truly understand about repentance and I hope you're saved otherwise there would be no point in listening to anything you have to say on your website. For there are many false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing and many who prophesy, cast out devils and do many wonderful works in Jesus' name but my beloved Lord will say unto them, I never knew you: depart from me ye that work iniquity. (Matthew7:15,22,23).
**** Amen another thing we agree on..... sin will exclude you from the kingdom. I strive daily to keep off all sin as I live in holiness per scripture.
One sure way I can discern a false prophet is lack of the fruit of biblical love, they distance themselves as though they think they're better or more righteous than you and they have a coldness of heart about them.
**** Here he makes bad judgments about me. And did Jesus or Paul have warm fuzzy loving words for false men Glenn?
Gal 5:12 Paul said.....to cut off your man hood!
Did what I say offend you about railing upon sinners?
**** I am a street preacher. Men's mere words do not offend me as they will be dust in short order... only God's Word affects me Glenn!
Do you not like being corrected ? (about man's teaching about the beast "system")? I see this 'system' idea as all conjecture with no biblical proof. You say on your site that you welcome biblical correction. I hope you live up to that claim.
**** I like to be tested. But you need God's Word to correct me and you haven't done that. Indeed it will be a system, order, network, government, edict, laws or something global.
I am open to correction if it's shown to be 100% biblically correct. I don't pretend that I know it all. I am a learner as I sojourn here on earth. I am not a pastor thank God or in any leadership position in the declining religious institution called the church. If you mean laying the foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God (Hebrews6:1), and don't see how that's needed.
What do you mean "the gospel to eternal life" ?
**** That is a basic question any man of God with any experience should be able to handle easily. Maybe Glenn is a novice?
But when I in humility question you about it you are dismissive towards me about it, coming across that you are too busy and that you in effect are too important to address such matters that you must consider as too trivial.
**** Humility? He calls me a wimp eventually? Another word that is NOT in scripture last time I checked? I told him I do not have time to answer all emails I get as most men "are not well meaning" and they expect me to do so asap. I focus on those that are well meaning for truth as that is wise to do so. I cater to sheep; not mockers or goats. No pearl casting for me....
I see that attitude as arrogance. You love to come across as a tough guy for the Lord but I bet anything you're a wimp. Your dismissiveness also is not akin to the love of God. The God whom you claim to serve.
**** Wimp....chapter and verse please? Glenn sounds kind of like the guys in 8th grade that think they could beat you up. Romans 8 says fleshly men, cannot please God. Actually, I have yet to meet any man I fear, as a saint of God. I fear God Glenn. And godly love is truth telling and pulling false men from sin and the fire (James 5 / Jude) Was Jesus loving calling the Pharisee trying to trap Him ...HYPOCRITES 8 times in Matt 23?
Are you called to feed the lambs of the good Shepherd who gave his life for the sheep?
Maybe not. Because Jesus would only give that kind of responsibility to those he called and chose such as Peter.
**** So no man can teach except Peter per Glenn? Is Glenn a roman catholic? Paul says later in Eph 4:12 he gave TEACHERS....
To be honest, and this is a rebuke, I think you've got a big swollen head and that you are full of your own sense of importance, mate. So you better smarten up wise guy.
**** So to be clear.... he was loving my content at the start only to turn it into a REBUKE that very same day? He is double minded as I said. James 1:8
For the record: this is not a stable man that I would take bible counsel from so, no thanks Glenn.
Go on your way!
*********************************************
I have asked Glenn for his testimony and his ministry but I have no answer back to date?
I am very happy out of over 4500 teaching resources online; that he ONLY found these issues.
In the end, he had several decent points I acted upon but most of his email is lacking in truth and solid biblical understanding; especially about the gospel/repentance/going to preach. I sent him teachings to assist him I pray he seeks truth to the saving of his soul.
I hope this reply helps him or any of you to more truth for God's glory.
See all my resources below...
God be praised
