Paul's Passing Thoughts

At this year’s conference my talks will focus on the meaning of key words. One of the key problems with church is its singular definition of many key words. Primarily in the case of Protestantism, these singular definitions cause massive confusion and debate rather than ministry.

This warm-up to the conference is about the word, “judgment.” Due to the church’s Dualism philosophy, definitions of words will be greatly restricted; singular definitions of words is a hallmark of Dualism.

So the debate rages in the church; what’s the balance between judging someone and practicing discernment? Per the usual, the argument will never end because there is no true definition of judgment available to underpin the discussion. The following is only one of many ways the confusion manifests itself: Yes, if you realize Deacon Dan is a rapist, you are discerning, but if you make an issue of it, you’re judging. And so it goes.

What is the biblical definition of “judgment”? You first have to understand the biblical definition of “condemnation.” To condemn someone strips them of hope in obtaining eternal life. That’s what condemnation is. According to the Bible, only God has the authority to condemn based on what people believe.

When Christ said something like, “do not judge lest you be judged,” He was referring to condemnation; He was referring to someone usurping God’s authority in the eternal condemnation of others. Throughout the scriptures, this kind of condemnation of others is defined as explicitly satanic. In contrast, when we judge someone in regard to discernment and the application of wise actions accordingly, this is judgment according to discernment (and even love), and not judgment in regard to condemnation.

This is why the church, whether Protestant or Catholic and the stripes thereof stand judged (condemned) already; because they judge (they condemn). In other words, they claim God’s authority to condemn others eternally, and they are therefore judged accordingly. Only God Himself has that authority.

With Catholicism, this is common knowledge while Protestants will usually protest the assertion this way: “Our church doesn’t believe we have that authority!” Hmmmmm, really? Full stop: in case you are unaware, a Baptist is a Protestant. That’s the first point. Second point: pray tell, when did it ever happen that a Buddhist was allowed to join a Baptist church because said Buddhist “doesn’t believe everything Buddha believed”?

Third point: the authority supposedly granted to the Protestant church to proclaim someone saved or unsaved is documented orthodoxy with historical precedent etched in stone. And according to the clear dictates of Scripture, patently satanic.

When we call someone out and hold them accountable, we are not judging them in a condemning way; we are probably loving them, and love can be hard at times. Understanding the true definition of judgment in light of discernment AND condemnation makes the issue crystal clear, and…

…the ability to do more ministry with more afforded time and wisdom according to truth.

The TANC yearly conference is an online event streaming from the Potter’s House in Xenia, Ohio. However, we also encourage onsite participation to support the speakers, fellowship, and discuss topics. In regard to our out of town friends, there are still rooms left at the Potter’s House on a first come, first serve basis. If you are interested, email us at mail@ttanc.com. Please let us know by August 21st.

As the only known ministry pointing out the elementary error that makes Protestant evangelicalism a house of cards, we believe it is extremely important to have this conference yearly to show our dedication to this truth. Simply stated, the foundation of the Protestant tradition and its brick and mortar churches is predicated on justification by the law while proclaiming “justification by faith.”

But faith in what? Jesus alone, or Jesus’ ability to obey the law perfectly instead of establishing the real foundation of justification, the new birth? The Protestant evangelical tradition represents everything the apostle Paul stood against; justification by the law. Who keeps it is irrelevant; there is no law that can give life even if someone did keep it perfectly. Jesus kept the law perfectly by virtue of who He is, not for the purpose of gaining righteousness to impute to others. Righteousness is obtained by imputation of the new birth, not perfect law keeping.

If perfect law keeping is the standard for righteousness, no one can be righteous, and hence, righteousness is not a state of being obtained by the new birth, but only a “legal declaration.” Moreover, by virtue of stated orthodoxy, no so-called Christian can really love others in a way that pleases God because such love would fall short of perfect law keeping. Therefore, by virtue of stated orthodoxy, there can be no real love in the church, and we think that is entirely evident.

This conference is about an exodus to real love. Evangelical scholars think their efforts to dumb down Protestants and intimidate them with expertism has worked, and therefore, all they need to do is wait for us to fade away into time. These yearly conferences remind everyone that we are not going away. If we stay the course, this simple theological math that is presently gaining understanding will continue to grow; we are made just by the new birth, not perfect law keeping.

Certainly, we are not the first ones who have recognized this truth, that is, justification by new birth APART from the law, but we believe that Protestantism has been able to overcome those who proclaim this truth by simply ignoring them as those truthbearers would not have had the media resources to keep their message alive. But this is the information age, and along with it, the folly of expertism has been exposed. The laity is beginning to take back its assembly of those who fellowship together with the Trinity as a literal family and body.

What have I learned in ten years of researching the Protestant Reformation? It is a plenary lie, and its scholars have redefined every biblical word and term. Even phrases and terms factually true on their face are defined differently in every case by Protestant orthodoxy. Protestantism stands as the paramount propagator of contradiction, anti-reason, and cognitive dissonance in all of human history. While claiming to be the voice of reason and logic among all religions, no religion claims to be the opposite of what it is more. This gives Protestantism the dubious distinction of being the epic religion of doublespeak for the ages.

This brings me to the main thrust of my 2017 presentation. I will first explain how Protestantism continued the Dark Age with a different twist, and what needs to be done about it. I will then discuss 35 words/terms that Protestantism has redefined. When Protestant orthodoxy makes use of the term, “new birth,” how is that term really defined by its doctrine?

See you at TANC 2017, the 6th annual conference discussing gospel discernment and spiritual tyranny.

Protestantism has to spend most of its time debating rather than doing ministry because it has the most contradictions in its orthodoxy.
