Drive By Email Refuted!!!

With a world wide website like dontperish.com we get all kinds of communications with people we do not know. It is sad that men will email me, say things that are not true about us then they run and hide in the dark or shoot false claims via email over and over. 

How sad...

The following is a typical drive by email ( I call them sniper emails as they shoot at you but they hide in the dark of John 3:19-21 ) and I thought it would be educational for me to post it here unedited and answer him back in red next to his words. 

Note: Johns reply to this will be posted here.... IF.... he replies back!

*******************************************************

Update:
John did reply back but sadly it cannot be posted and here is why :

* he pulled God's Word out of context to fit his aim.
*he then began to teach false ways...that OBEYING God's Word is legalism. ( that I cannot post here )
* he has a low view of scripture as many today do... so sad.
* he named and promoted unbiblical ministries ( that I cannot condone )
*he talks most of the spirit and over looks sin/bad doctrine. ( the Spirit of God would NEVER do that as he leads us to all truth! )
*he then asked me to produce biblical ministries but ...he would offer none himself saying yes, they all have issues? ( that's called sin folks, issues is sin! )
*John also admitted the spirit he is involved with ( an emotional love affair it seems that he describes ) gives him "revelation outside of scripture" ... this is NOT good... Per Hebrews 1 / Rev 22 ...  there is no new revelation today!

In truth... he accused me of sin ( he lied about me )  that he did not show me in facts or in the Word?( it feels like a false witness/slander issue )

His reply back never answered the questions I poised below to his original email. He ignored them!

Rather then do a huge edit on his email ( I wont do that much editing / maybe just block a Ministry name out but no major edits  )  ... it is best that it not be posted here out of wisdom lest others be deceived. 

Let's proceed with the original email as it is telling.....

Jim and Debbie,

I happened to run across your blog site and I am amazed, I didn’t think Christians like you exist. Wow, it must be amazing to be so pure and holy toward God!

Hi John and thanks for the email. We are called to be pure and holy for the Lord amen? 1 Peter 1:15

I see that you call many “Christians” false teachers on your blog site, and you are certainly correct with most! However, I notice that you also list many as a false teachers without providing any proof—you just state they are and then write that proof is coming. Is that biblical?

The only people I expose are teachers most with internet public ministries so the info that makes them false teachers is already on the world wide web John.
We are called to test and expose are we not? 1 Thessalonians 5:21 and Ephesians 5

Matthew 7:1-3 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

I am waiting for you to show me my sin John .... using God's Word? 

Just so you know, labeling a Christian brother or sister as a false teacher before you supply evidence is SIN! 

As I said, these public ministries already show to the discerning eye their public sin...and I do document it. 

 Note: I have a website with HUNDREDS of bible teachings and this is the 'so called' sin you can find on me John? Why don't you tell us about your religious body so we can test it John? We are waiting for that sir????

Leviticus 19:16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.

Slander is a lie... I challenge you to go to one of the testings I have done and show me any lies??? I am waiting John?

Are you sure you’re not behaving somewhat like a Pharisee rather than with Christian charity with your judgment of other Christians?

Actually I am acting like Paul and Jesus who called out false teaches to warn the flock. See Matthew 23 and the Book of Galatians

Your testimony states that you were in the “false” church system for years, but now you have seen the light. Well, what about all the ones that haven’t realized that, but still are trying to as best as they can? Are you showing them any grace and love? 

I am showing them love as James 5 says to turn them from their sin and save their soul from death.

It appears from your words that your prime focus now is to expose everyone who are false teachers since you’ve become the “true” Christians.

Have you missed our teaching blog with hundreds of articles on how to live the biblical life, our months of travels to preach the gospel, our work with every homeless person we see and our efforts to make disciples John? Are you void of discerning for truth?

I see that you measure everything against the word of God… or are you really? And, are you even qualified to do so?

Do I need a special man made degree John or just to be studied to be approved? See 2 Timothy 2:15

The Bereans were checking the apostle Paul’s teaching in relation to the Old Testament. Since the New Testament wasn’t written yet, those verses really apply to the Bereans since they knew the original languages. Since you are so accurate about the word of God, you must know Greek, Hebrew, and the local culture of the time, right? Otherwise, you are following a translation from men so it isn’t the exact “word of God.” (Strong’s concordance is still a man’s interpretation of an ancient language. Meanings change!)

Are you saying we can't know God's Word and Truth today via the Holy Spirit? Jesus said we can ...see John 14 

The greatest commandment: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” Are you doing that, or are you pretending to by promoting your holiness with your lifestyle and by your judgments of others with the word of God?

Jesus said why do you say you love me but do not keep my commands. John 14:15 and it is most loving to call people OUT OF SIN. Jesus told us to do so in Matt 18 correct?  So did Paul in 1 Corinthians 5

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Yes godly love is truth telling John. Am I your enemy for telling the truth? Gal 4:16 

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Amen love that verse!!! But we are NEVER to allow and endure sin are we John?

The words that I underlined… says to “believe all things.”  Well, do you believe all things because that is right there in the written word of God?

Yes I believe it all John and I believe... 1 Tim 5:20

"Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear".

None of your material speaks about loving the Lord and giving Him praise in any substantial way. 

That is a lie. We teach all over our website biblical obedience and that is showing God love. See what no obedience gets you ... 2 Thess 1:8
Who is in slander and lies now John?

This is usually a clue about what is truly in someone’s heart. You don’t offer any methods of getting closer to God; instead, you mostly speak of judging other Christians. 

That is a lie. We teach all over our website biblical obedience and that is showing God our love. Heb 5:9
Again who is in slander and lies now John?

The tone of your “rebuke” certainly has a shimmer of superiority (puffed up).

Teach us about the various tones of rebuke John? We just do the biblical rebuking
2 tim 4:2
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine". 


Speaking of following the word of God, why do you have cabins? Aren’t you supposed to sell everything like they did in Acts or like when Jesus told the rich man?

Actually the bible commands no such thing anywhere. The tiny off grid cabins are for single brothers training up to be disciples so they can be free/debt free from the worlds ways to serve God fully and travel to preach. Now your judging in error.... like a hypocrite John! See Matt 23

Ps... did you miss all the verses where the NT saints had HOMES???? As in HOUSE churches. Look those up John.... study before you talk as only a fool speaks of what he does not know. ( That is in the old testament, look it up.)  


Aren’t you supposed to be traveling the ends of the earth to proclaim the gospel? What are you doing hanging around in the woods? In fact, Jesus didn’t have place to lay His head, do you?

We do travel to preach the gospel. We also lay over on our homestead to work and make money to fund our ministry too...like Paul did. We do not sell God's truth like your favorite ministries do, we work. 
You have not tested us very well have you John. See 1 Thess 5:21

And, Jesus was rebuked for hanging around sinners, are you hanging around them proclaiming the gospel? If not, how come?

We preach the gospel to sinners John...  See Mark 16:15
We can't help but run into them all over the streets and at man made Sunday religion too when we go and hold gospel signs there!

The apostle John wrote that a Spirit-filled Christian doesn’t need anyone to teach him or her anything?

1 John 2:26-27 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

Well, the above is the written word of God, so… is this true or not?

The Word of God is true. It also says God gave TEACHERS! Eph 4.
You best read ALL of your bible John. We can help you there....

Word of advice: you better be absolutely perfect since you judge so many for not being just like you! Remember, you will be judged how you judge others, right?

We are called to reach for perfection in Matthew 5:48 and you have NOT shown I judge by my own standards at all. I judge by the Word of God and the model Paul / Jesus left us. 2 Thessalonians 2:15

Yes, the points you make are certainly true because modern Christianity is a disaster. However, not every ministry is corrupt! When you attack a ministry such as ***** without any REAL basis, you people are in for a reckoning.

Ah.... you like me exposing other ministries just NOT your own favorites huh?. You have the sin of partiality John. See 1 Timothy 5:21
***** has suspect associations like UFO  Chuck Missler and NAR leaning Paul McGuire.

The tone of your criticism gives you away and one cannot help but see that your whole “ministry” is a based on a secret pride of being so spiritual and holy that now you’ve given yourself “qualifications” to criticize the rest.

The Word of God gives me all I need John..... Matthew 4:4


Notice how your mind is already conjuring up some “defensive” stuff toward me for writing this… with anger too, no doubt.

No anger here John. I feel sorry for you and would like to help you.....

 If it is wrong for me to correct others, why are you correcting me John?
More hypocrisy in you.... so sad!

Good luck, (Whoops, I wrote “luck” which means I must be carnal.)

Now your mocking God. Galatians 6 You best repent John. We pray you do and we are here to help if that happens. 

John 

PS: Please do not send me a rebuttal with a list of scripture, okay. I’ve been a Christian for 30 years, spend time immersed in His Spirit daily and I actually love Him with all of my being. God wants His children to love Him and spend time with Him, but look what your priorities actually are…

My priorities are to love God by keeping His Word and to love my neighbor by teaching the truth and exposing wolves who look to pray on the sheep. See Jude ....contending for the faith!!! 
Tell you what....
Send me all your resources where you are preaching the gospel, teaching truth, making disciples, helping the poor, training up men to preach and warning neighbors in love John? 

I shall wait for that..... in fact, we are ALL waiting for that John.
