The Good Old Days

by Pastor Mark Downey

April 20, 2014

Scripture Reading:  Malachi 4:5-6

I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you actually leave them.  I hate to think that these trying times (some say trials and tribulations) will someday be the good old days.  I guess the good old days were when we thought it couldn't get worse.  A good barometer would be leadership.  There was a day when all it took to impeach a president was illegal wiretapping or having sex with a White House intern in the broom closet.  About 200 years ago the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville observed that, “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”  Today's sermon really is not about nostalgia, but we do have a memory system that recalls times of happiness.  But, how far back in time do we go to determine that happiness.  Individuals can certainly go back, usually to their unencumbered childhood (before they became tax slaves), and say the good old days were the happy days.  I can remember when I was 4 years old and the neighborhood boys began digging holes in the backyard; we were treasure hunters and the world was our oyster; nothing could dispel our elation of shoveling a deep pit.  However, it became anticlimactic when our shovels hit something metallic, which wasn't a treasure chest, but a water pipe.  What concerns me with this message is how far back in time do we go to determine the happiness of the White race.

Time is a like a river, you can't touch the water twice, because the flow that passed will never return.  The good news is that there's more water where that came from.  If we were to pick a time in the Bible that comes closest to the good old days, it would be the Garden of Eden, sometimes called Paradise.  We don't know how much time elapsed before the Fall of Adam, but it must have been a splendid time of goodness, because sin had not yet entered the world; the good had not yet been contrasted to the manifestation of evil.  But, when it did, after the Fall of man, days of goodness were only fleeting and transient.  Once, Adam fell from grace, from his glorified body to a carnal physical body, he must have thought, “Wow, those were the good old days.”  Hindsight is always 20/20.  The word 'paradise' is not found in the Hebrew, but the idea is not lost in the Greek word paradeisos (#3857) as used in Rev. 2:7, which simply means “park i.e. (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness).”  The park or garden of Eden signified an exquisite place of delight and pleasure.

The Greatest Passover Part 1

by Pastor Don Elmore

Scripture Reading:  II Chronicles 34:1-7

Josiah was King of Judah in the latter days of the kingdom, before it was taken into captivity by the Babylonians.  His grandfather, King Manasseh, was one of the worse, if not the worse King in the history of Judah and maybe in all of Israel.  Manasseh began his reign when he was twelve years old and he reigned for 55 years.  He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

He built the high places which his father, King Hezekiah, had broken down. He reared up altars for Baalim, and made idols, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.  Also he built altars in the house of the LORD.  He caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; also he observed times, and used enchantment, and practiced sorcery, and dealt with a medium, and with wizards.  He made and set an idol in the House of God.  So, Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the nations, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel

Think about that last sentence for a moment.  How bad were the Israelites?  It says that they were worse than the Canaanites. 

The Greatest Passover

by Pastor Don Elmore

Part 1:  The day of our Roman calendar starts at midnight.  Why?  The New Year beginnings at the beginning of winter/summer?  Why does the Judeo-Christian church celebrate Easter? 

Part 2:  What people are the leaders behind race mixing?  Why did all the states in the United States forbid any racial marriages or even dating for most of its history?  Do you understand how dangerous this doctrine is?  And when you practice this belief, what god are you serving?

Little Known Facts about the South During the War of 1861

by Jim Jester

Soldiers of all nationalities and ancestry served in the Confederate Army (Most notable: Native Americans, Africans, and Mexicans). Blacks were not actively recruited until near the end of the war but were used in support roles. They were not necessarily segregated in the Confederate Army as they were in the Northern Army. The last Confederate general to surrender (two months after Appomattox), was Stand Watie, Cherokee commander of the Indian regiments in the West. Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman who visited the U.S., observed that racism was far more prevalent in free states than in slave states.

Lincoln believed in an American apartheid and had a colonization plan. Under pressure from radical abolitionists, the District of Columbia Emancipation Act, 16 April 1862, finally ended slavery in Washington, D.C. In it, the president included a colonization clause calling for the immediate deportation of all Negroes out of the city upon their liberation. Educated blacks were understandably furious. Black teacher and former servant Booker T. Washington summed up the feelings of most African-Americans toward Lincoln’s colonization plan this way: “I was born in the South. I have lived and labored in the South. I wish to be buried in the South.”

Presidents Lincoln and Davis knew that slavery was about to fade away naturally. This proves that the war was not over slavery alone. Lincoln said, “The whole country looked forward to the ultimate extinction of the institution.” And Davis, in a letter to his wife in 1861, “In any case, our slave property will eventually be lost.” Many Northern historians considered Davis a fanatical racist, but he was no more racist than any other American was in the 19th century. While Lincoln was blocking emancipation, black enlistment, black civil rights, and working on his colonization plan to deport all blacks out of the U.S., Davis was busy trying to figure out a way to end Southern slavery, enlist blacks, initiate black civil rights, and incorporate blacks into mainstream society. During the war, the Davis family adopted a black boy and raised him as their own. Davis also appointed a black man as the Confederacy’s first marshal. Lincoln never appointed a black man to any position, and he would have never adopted a black child.

Little Known Facts about the Reconstruction South

By Jim Jester

The communist doctrine of “redistribution of wealth” was first practiced in America by the Freedman’s Bureau. By June 1865, nearly 10,000 black families were given their own land from former deserted plantations. Later, as the owners returned and demanded the government give them their rightful property, most blacks lost their land. When President Andrew Johnson opposed the Bureau’s unconstitutional actions, the Republicans stripped power from him — impeaching him in the House and coming within one Senate vote of removing him from office. Furthermore, the military governors over the Southern states reported to General Grant, not President Johnson.

The Republicans punished Southern leaders for their rebellion by depriving them of political rights while giving civil rights to the Black race. This was the purpose of the 14th Amendment. It overruled the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court, which had denied civil rights to the Negro. It also disqualified nearly all the trusted leaders of the South from public office, unless a two-thirds vote of each House removed this disability. This branded the Southern leaders as criminals. When the Representatives from the Southern states went to resume their position in Washington, they were told to go home.

The South was divided up into five military districts with a Union Major General over each. There was debate as to the status of the states – were they really states or just territories. It appears they were treated as conquered territory. The Johnson governments (established for the states under his procedure) of 1865 were removed and a military governor backed by national troops took their places. Altogether, there were almost 20,000 troops quartered on the South. The registering of voters and the actual voting took place under the supervision of these troops. The Reconstruction Act elevated the freed slaves to participation in the political process, while at the same time the White man was disqualified by the third section of the still un-adopted 14th Amendment. The Negroes proceeded to enroll under the Reconstruction Act. They outnumbered the Whites in South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Most of them could not even read or write, so were hardly qualified to direct the destinies of a civilized state. In comparison, Negroes at this time were only allowed to vote in six Northern states. Ohio rejected Negro suffrage by over a 50,000 majority. Lincoln had proposed to the wartime military governor of Louisiana, that the right to vote might be given to the most capable Negroes, and ones who had fought in the Union armies. No one had ever proposed the wholesale bestowal of the ballot on all Negroes, qualified or not, as this Congress had done, and at the point of a bayonet. With rigged voting like this, they were able to get the Southern states to ratify the 14th Amendment (an anti-South provision which had lacked the needed two-thirds vote of the states).

Important History Not Being Taught Part 3

by Pastor Don Elmore

March 9, 2014

Scripture Reading: Acts 8:5-11

This is the story of two men with different views that are still in effect today, 2000 years later; two men with the same first name; Simon Peter and Simon Magus.  It started in the capital city of Samaria, whose name was identical with its state; Samaria.

Simon Magus was a Babylonian priest.  He was a part of the Babylonian community that had been living in the former land of Northern Israel.  When the Israelites had been defeated and taken into captivity by the Assyrians, they were replaced by five tribes of the Babylonians. They eventually claimed fraudulently to be the true people of God while at the same time practicing many of their previous heathen rites which came directly from Babylon.   

Simon Magus swayed the whole of the Samaritan nation that all gave heed to him for a very long time.  But when Simon saw the potential of Christianity, he endeavored to buy an apostleship in the Church.  But Peter knew what he was attempting to do and rebuked him sternly.

After his rejection, Simon Magus began to fashion his own “Christian” church.  His plan was to design a church, of which he was the head, to overthrow the true Church of God.  His idea was to adulterate Babylonian teachings with some of the teachings of Christ and thus create ONE LARGE FALSE UNIVERSAL CHURCH.  It was to go against the SMALL TRUE ISRAELITE-ONLY CHURCH. 

Repentance You Can Count On

by Pastor Mark Downey

March 30, 2014

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 4:12-17

When Jesus launched His ministry, in what would become a three year exhortation to our race exclusively, the first thing He declared was repentance.  Of all the things He could have said as the opening salvo (because it was spiritual warfare), He choose something the people really didn't want to hear, even though it had a lot to do with deliverance.  They envisioned a Deliverer who would come to destroy the Romans.  Their Great White Hope would have said, “Come follow me, and we shall slice the Legions to ribbons.”  I hope you got the gist of the title i.e. the similarity between repentance and change.  When America's first black dictator made the campaign promise for “change you can count on,” the voters didn't think he meant a Marxist change agent

Reject anti-Christ Pastors

by Richard Kelly Hoskins

Hoskins Update Report – February 2014

“If a pastor does not teach the Law, if he does not teach that we are not to have Edomites in the land, that sodomites are to receive the punishment decreed by Law, that usury is a capital crime, that man is not allowed to raise his hand against man (War Between the States, WWI, WWII) — if he attempts to integrate Jacob with Esau — you have an ‘Anti-Christ’ pastor who is teaching adultery and is helping Esau to destroy Jacob.  One may even find children of Esau in their churches:

‘The stranger (Hebrew:  zwer, racial alien) that cometh nigh the tabernacle shall be put to death’  Number 1:51; Numbers 18:7.

If these things are so, it is certain that God’s curse will come upon us as in the days past.  Our hope lies in the knowledge that our God said:

‘Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated’ Romans 9:13.

‘I loved Jacob, And I hated Esau’ Malachi 1:2-3.

When the sons of Jacob reject anti-Christ pastors and return to the teachings of God the WORD, God will deliver them from slavery and death at the hands of the sons of Esau and their Judas-Israelites servants.”

A Christian Philosophy of Music by Jim Jester

It has been said that music is the universal language. We have various forms of the art in the many cultures of the world. In western culture, Christians have a special interest. Music began to change during the 20th century, especially after the advent of the Beatles in 1964. Not all of the change was bad, such as the concept of questioning authority, but for most of the social norms, it was a bad turn. For decades, the debate over “rock” music in the church and Christian home continued among fundamentalists. Today, the debate is over for most, and many church leaders consider everything in the field of musical genre appropriate for Christians and church worship. What a Christian personally listens to, and for what reason, is entirely up to him or her; but I would not expect any sincere Christian trying to model his or her life after Jesus Christ, to be listening to a steady diet of pornographic music. Music for the church is a different story; it has a different purpose and should be a higher character.

I believe music has declined during the 20th century from what it was in former ages. Because of this, I have developed my own philosophy about music for the church and Christian family. It is not a popular position but it is a consistent one. Most of the ancient Greek philosophers (such as Plato) and the church fathers (such as Augustine) believed that good music made a person good and bad music made a person bad. Whether this is true or not is a matter of conjecture, but there is no doubt that music does affect us.
