Discerning
the difference between the profane and the holy
What
are moral issues? Answer: Any nasty thing someone else is messing up, right?
We have
a reality problem with moral and ethical issues in the Lord's Church. Preachers
frequently teach on moral issues, and may do a good job of using the Bible
to answer the questions.
But,
almost all preachers will avoid certain moral issues. Hypocrites! This is
because the preacher, or some big giver, is a violator. I hope we never avoid
anything at this site for these reasons.
THE
MYSTERY OF GODLINESS By
Steve Van Nattan Do
we help one another become more godly, or do we thoughtlessly nag and nanny
each other?
THE REPLACEMENT PRINCIPLE By
Steve Van Nattan Exposing
problems and danger without empowering the hearer is ungodly. Teaching a saint
to give up something profane without helping him find a replacement is a job

Unlikely people, in unlikely places, with unlikely faith.
GURUISM AT THE CHURCH
HOUSE By
Steve Van Nattan Are
you letting other men do all the Bible studying for you?
QUESTIONS TO ASK A MUSLIM By
Steve Van Nattan The
first objective here is to try to identify Muslims who would kill you if they
could, or to learn which Muslims in your environment have a death wish for America
and Christians.
The second objective in this article is to give Christians the tools to break
down a lying Muslim and prepare him to listen to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
HOW
TO DESTROY HERETICS IN CULTIC CHRISTIANITY By
Steve Van Nattan The
cults of Christendom are thriving. But, many of them are reporting poor results
in recent days. Your assignment is to do battle with cults and heretics to
the glory of Jesus Christ.
DECADENCE
OF THE CULTURE AND THE BIBLE RESPONSE Western
culture has collapsed into total ruin. Will anyone go back to find God and
the answers in the Bible? Or, will you import this mongrel culture into the
local church?
MARVEL
MAN VERSUS MARVELOUS GOD By
Steve Van Nattan Are you exalting the marvelous God of the Bible, or are you
plodding along vomiting up your seminary or Bible college notes? Are you telling
cute stories about fornicating preachers (like Jack Hyles or Benny Hinn), making
folk heroes of them, or are you lifting up the wonderful Savior?
WHY
DOES JOHN MacARTHUR
SOUND SO MUCH LIKE POPE FRANCIS?By Steve Van Nattan Question:
Where have all the sheep gone? Both Pope Francis and John MacArthur lament Christians
who claim to be born again but are not parking their butt in the local church
on Sunday morning. These two men are seen in a video preaching identical messages.
More research shows us that Lordship Salvation is the motivation, and the solution
is for the Pope of Rome and Burbank to question our salvation.
JOHN
MacARTHUR'S MASONIC CONNECTIONS By
Steve Van Nattan MacArthur spews forth blasphemies and lies while exalting
his Scottish family heritage as the power which brought success to Grace Community
Church.
IGNORANCE
ABOUT THE WORLD,
AND HOW TO CURE IT IN YOURSELF Preconceptions,
lack of reliable information, and contented ignorance lead us to all the wrong
answers Proverbs
15:14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the
mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
IS AMERICA
A CHRISTIAN NATION? Conservative
Christians and pastors claim that America had a Christian beginning. You will
learn that there is no such thing as a Christian nation.
BATTLE
FRONTS FOR THE END TIMES By
Steve Van Nattan The
Bible believer is at war, and that is established by the Word of God, the example
of Christ, and by the history of the Lord's Church for 2000 years. The question
is, are you going to stand your ground, or will Satan and his helpers cause you
to stand down or go AWOL?
ASYMMETRIC
CHRISTIAN WARFARE ACW is the practice of attacking
Satan and his servants in their weakest place when they are totally unprepared
for the attack. This study is meant to train zealous Bible believers for the unconventional
or irregular opportunities to defend the local church and do Satan much harm.
WORDS
WE USE- Part Three Twenty
years ago I posted Part One and Two of "Words We Use." That became one
of the most loaded articles on this journal. Well, the world and Church community
are back at it, that is, using many words that are pointless, irrelevant, or downright
profane. Let's examine what we are saying.
EVANGELIST
FOR WHAT? WORKS, STANDARDS, RULES, OR THE GOSPEL? Or,
how to drive your friends and kids into hell by nagging them Many Bible believing
pastor preach the Gospel at the church house, and they preach "standards"
of life, so they never teach the saints to become mature in the use of the
Word of God. Let's talk about this before we all go into the ditch.
HOW
TO BE A FRIEND-
LEAD BY EXAMPLE Many
Christians make announcements, tell stories, preach, teach, and generally
unload their glorious cool thoughts on anyone who will swoon over them. To
hell with your cool thoughts. How about helping the other guy cope and follow
Jesus?
JESUS
DAMNS AMERICA -- JESUS VOMITS CHRISTENDOM An
examination of America, AND American Christians, using Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. You
cannot avoid this. You must decide NOW or be destroyed. By
the Editor: Steve Van Nattan
THE
END OF FUNDAMENTALISM Bible teacher Bob Cosby exposes the
near heretical nature of Fundamentalism from the day it was invented. I add
my observations based on many years in Fundamentalism.
STUCK
ON STUPID A great discussion about people being stubborn
to their own hurt
THE
INNER RING AND THE ART OF CLIMBING The
wicked social tool used by Satan and fallen man to call us from duty to Christ
to climbing. No one can escape it.
DISCERNMENT We
discuss the alleged ministry of discernment as a spiritual gift. Much chaos and
pain is suffered by believers when a "prophetic word" is laid on
them by a self-possessed guru inside the Church.
STRONG
DELUSION IS NOW IN PROGRESS
This is a discussion
of God's entering into the world and giving delusion to humanity so that they
believe the lies of the wicked and Satan in the end Times. If you do not read
all the articles below in order, and if you skip one, you will end up confused.
If you are depressed or recovering from shell shock from bad company, take
this is small doses please.
STRONG
DELUSION DISCUSSION- PART ONE Strong Delusion-- God Wants Wicked Men Deluded The
Bible tells us that humanity would be made delusional by God so that they believe
lies in the End Times..... It
is happening as I write. Suggestion: Take this medicine in several doses.
It is strong stuff, so bookmark it to find it again. Do not attempt to watch this
and then go to bed please.
STRONG
DELUSION DISCUSSION- PART TWO Eugenics,
Evolution, Genetics, and You After
reading Part One about the Strong Delusion God is now sending to men we need
to see that God has a very urgent reason to trash the schemes of godless men in
high places. They intend to reinvent God's creation, and God? is not amused.
STRONG
DELUSION DISCUSSION- PART THREE Strong
Delusion and the Coming Banking Crash After
reading Part One and Two about the pervasive nature of world delusion, imposed
on godless men by God, we all have the banking crisis on our minds these days.
Deluded men, thinking they are doing? well, will destroy the whole world's banking
and commerce.
STRONG
DELUSION DISCUSSION- PART FOUR How to Survive Eugenics and the Coming Holocaust So,
after reading Part One through Three of this discussion, you will now want to
know if God has provided a way of escape for his children. God never judges
the wicked and his saints at the same time. He insists on a clear distinction
so that the wicked know what the stakes are.
STRONG
DELUSION DISCUSSIONS- PART FIVE World War III and the Reduction of the
USA This
is a discussion added to the overall thoughts in Parts One through Four. We
need to learn about the last great war, and we want to see if our present obsessions
with war making coincide with these prophecies.
We will learn that the United States of America is at the top of God's hit
list to be emasculated before the Battle of Armageddon.
STRONG
DELUSION BY CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES- PART SIX Chemical companies
and big pharma persist in maiming and killing for the love of money Virtually
every chemical company in the world is making chemicals they KNOW are deadly.
History shows the effects of these chemicals, and the record also shows that
the campaniles who make them appear, not only to know how deadly they are,
but they seem to be making them to maim and sicken the masses in order to turn
around and sell them the drugs to make them well.
EUGENICS
DEFINED This page explains Eugenics and its origin The
word Eugenics is related to genetics, but genetics is the manipulation of gene
based to seek better species. Eugenics, that is the "EU" of the
word, is totally involved in manipulation of species by engineered death.
SATAN--
WHAT HE CAN AND CANNOT DO This has been a rather trying study. I felt that
Satan is presented too theologically by most Bible teachers. So, I did a study
as near to real experience as possible while using Scripture heavily. May
God give you victory.
We
will attack all the rock based CCM at the church house, but also this feely
feely sparkling gaudy rubbish can go to hell also.
SUGGESTIONS

blessed. I talk to those who sing, lead, and accompany. Also, I talk to pastors
and song writers. By Steve Van Nattan

"I'M HAPPY" SONG What
is the mystique of Pharrell Williams' Happy Song? What is the alternative to
the Bible believer?
GOOD
BOOKS These are books at this site which will fire your zeal. They
include missionary stories from the early days of missions. Also, there are
adventure and discovery books. These are manly books which will charge your
batteries.

poems are meant to inspire the Christian warrior. They are both spiritual and
secular. Steve Van Nattan, the editor here, has posted two of his poems at
this page.

AND
THEN WHAT HAPPENED? A
discussion of what happened next in Bible events Questions we may want to ask
those in Heaven when we all get there
HOG
SWILL PREACHING By Buddy Smith A man told me I was not fit to eat with
the pigs. My Internet Bible expert told me I was, and he promptly started preaching.
PROSPERITY
GOSPEL This is a cult engineered by the greedy to justify the greedy in
church pews. From this has come horrible poverty and delusion, and many have
blasphemed the name of Christ as they watch the gurus of the Prosperity Doctrine.
GUNGA
DIN..... REVISED VERSION New International Diversion By
Rudyard Kipling and revised by Steve Van Nattan This
is my offering to biblical scholars who insist on reading at the Dick and
Jane level. I
suspect, given the sense of humor of Rudyard Kipling, he would forgive me
for using his poem to poke fun at snobs
EPISTLES

Pastor Art Barton Heritage Baptist Church, Grant, Michigan This
pastor has an exceptional gift of holy sarcasm which is impossible to escape.

are nobodies.
POLITICAL
CHRISTIANITY A
study of the Perversion of the Lord's Church by heretics who have good intentions
and no common sense. This article especially deals with the invasion into local
churches of Satan's counterfeit Messiah, Donald Trump.
"NO"..... DO
WE SAY IT TOO MUCH? By
Steve Van Nattan Is
it possible to answer in the negative without being brash and confrontational?
CHRISTIANITY
HAS GONE DULL..... HAVE YOU? The
Laodicean church says, "We are rich and in need of nothing." In fact,
they are wretched, poor, blind, and naked..... and DULL. Flee from the dull church
now.
DEALING
WITH SODOMY IN THE LOCAL CHURCH How
shall we then live in a nation which enforces sodomy in all social life? Special
emphasis is given to defending boys and girls.
SITUATION ETHICS AND "ME TOO" FAMINAZIS By
Steve Van Nattan Women
who played the whore in the past want revenge today. Why? We
also talk about defending yourself and the local church against sex abuse and
predators.
RABBIT

Steve Van Nattan We
will review all the rabbit foot superstitions of world religions, and then we
will look into your religion and mine to see what superstitions we also have.
THE
FEMINIZATION OF MEN IN THE LOCAL CHURCH A Five Part Series Complete By
Steve Van Nattan The
modern New Age culture has given us two generations of ladylike men, and the Lord's
Church is giving in to this trend.

to identify a patriarchal tyrant in the local church, work place, or in the home.
This study applies to both men and women.
WHAT
DO DEVIL POSSESSED FUNDAMENTAL BAPTIST PREACHERS TEACH?By
Steve Van Nattan It is very clear today that many Fundamental Baptist preachers
are teaching doctrines of devils. They punish and pummel the Lord's sheep mercilessly,
and it is time to expose them.
DELUDED
DEVIL POSSESSED PREACHERS By
Steve Van Nattan Proverbs
5:22 His
own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the
cords of his sins. There
has been a migration of devils from the dark shadows of witchcraft to the church
house. During the 1970s, while I pastored in the High Desert of California, we
were in constant combat with devils. Witchcraft was rampant all over the Desert.
Over the ensuing years, I have become aware that the picture has vastly changed.
I hear very little about witchcraft, though individual instances are certainly
still with us. But, I am now certain that the devils of the 1970s abandoned their
black hearted friends and have "gone to church" and "gotten religion."

Sources with Steve Van Nattan Walt Disney may have started out somewhat innocently,
but he and his empire turned into a filthy pig pen given over to sexual perversion

shall we do when Christians nag and nanny us? We
talk about nagging in all directions by all kinds of people.

TO THE LORD'S CHURCH From
Pastor Steve Van Nattan This is a study to help you identify and deal with
those who are in the local church for the sole purpose of dividing the church
and destroying Christian fellowship.

HONKY
TONK REVIVAL IS TYPICAL Unbiblical
theme: "I went to the enemy's camp, and took back what he stole from me." This
is NOT a doctrine from the King James Bible. It is the flesh exalting itself.

THE
GREAT PYRAMID By
Steve Van Nattan Is
the Great Pyramid part of the Revelation of God, or is it just a big pile of rocks?
THE LORD'S DAY By
Steve Van Nattan This
is an answer to legalizers like the Seventh Day Adventists. SDAs are damned to
Hell for exalting Ellen G White to the status of inspired revelator. We show why
they are lost sinners.
FLAT
EARTH HERETICS How
can a Bible believer make a great fool of himself and the Lord's Church?
WHAT
DO WE LEARN FROM HERETICS? Every
heretic of Christendom, and every heathen religious leader, teaches us something.
Those who believe this rubbish will go to hell. But, we need to know these
heresies so we can warn friends.
HOW
TO START YOUR OWN RELIGION This
article shows the extreme to which mankind is going. This couple have made themselves
their own god from scratch, and the world will love it I gather. What I want you
to see is the way fallen men make themselves into gods, as Satan suggested in
the Garden of Eden.

WHERE
HAVE ALL THE DEVILS GONE? By
Steve Van Nattan with Mike Van Nattan There
is a decrease in devil driven humanity. Their old haunts have been largely
vacated. Where are they, and what are they doing?
EVIL:
After posting the article on Evil, I became aware that there was a lot more
to the subject. So, I have added two more articles making a three part series
on Evil. The previous article has also been updated.
RELOCATION
OF GANG MEMBERS BY CHURCHES Mike Ramey, who worked as a
probation officer in Indianapolis, as a journalist in that city, and is now
counseling local churches on street gang issues and evangelism, challenges the
notion that churches should help relocate gang members who have not confessed
faith in Jesus Christ.

Steve Van Nattan
CLOTHING IN THE BIBLE AND IN EVERYDAY LIFE By
Steve Van Nattan Nothing
defines us more than our clothing. It is the first impression, and it tells the
world a huge amount about us. God has much to say about clothes in the Bible.
LYING
IS AN END TIMES EPIDEMIC By
Steve Van Nattan It
is getting hard to avoid telling lies, and God makes it clear that he hates liars.
NORMAL--
WHAT IS IT? BY
STEVE VAN NATTAN We live is an era of many presuppositions about normality.
We assume things are totally normal and good for humanity which did not exist
just 60 years ago. Because something "works," we assume it is the only
way to live. We may be wrong
MESSY
HOME, MESSY LIFE, MESSY SAINT "Cleanliness is next to godliness."
This is not a verse in the Bible, but we need to give the topic close attention. We
also look at disorder in our lives, showing that it produces uncleanness
TRANSHUMANISM
IS INFECTING WORLD THINKING.... AND CHURCHES By
Steve Van Nattan This cult of science and Satan is rampant. Should
we be worried about it? Most pastors today have no idea what Transhumanism
is, and the irony is, Transhumanists intend to annihilate the Christian God and
replace him with the god of genetics and nano bots. They are serious, and
they have started doing what they talk about.
PETS
AND THE BIBLE, and CAN I HAVE MY PETS IN HEAVEN? By
Steve Van Nattan There is an ongoing obsession with pets in modern society.
This is very likely because people are becoming recluses and avoiding people as
society disintegrates. So, they hug their pets tighter and tighter for companionship.
This them brings up the question about pets going to heaven.
WHAT
DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT CARNALITY? This has to be
one of the least preached doctrines. Sin and righteousness are totally off limits
in the mega church pulpits. Thus, the Laodicean church age is one of filthy
mongrel alleged Christians who will not tolerate hearing about their sin.
HISTORY--
Is it largely the invention of wild imaginations? (Coming Soon) Whether
world history, Bible history, or our family genealogy, is it even possible to
find history which is not adulterated by the presuppositions and bias of the historian?
MANIA
AND JOHN LAW-- We
live in an era of mania over entitlements, inflation, and fear of tinkering with
national economies of nearly every nation on earth. This real life history
lesson will show that mania has come to man many time. It is creepy how many
duplications of our modern life are in this 1700s story.
CAN
WE HEAR VOICES OR SEE THINGS FROM THE OTHER SIDE? Are voices from Satan
or evil men tormenting you? Let's see what is evil, what is benign, and what is
of God. This has been a long time coming. Sorry for the long lapse with no new
articles. This study is long, and I suspect nothing quite like it exists online.
We talk about aliens, demon possession, Satanic street magic, Nephilim, UFOs,
natural phenomenon making sounds, and the voices of people in the church and outside.
Finally, we talk about the human imagination and how Satan attacks it, and we
talk about the Christian defending his mind. Research here is very recent.
