It is not enough to disagree with coverups and abuse. We must openly, loudly, and consistently denounce it and separate from those who protect abusers.
Don’t let modern version proponents intimidate you by asking where a perfect Bible was before 1611. They don’t believe one has EVER existed or ever will.
Hey everyone, there’s a new “Bible College” in Florida run by a man who video taped underaged girls changing their clothes, and another one who carried on a long-term relationship with a teenager in his church. Send your kids there!! What could go wrong?
Infant baptism is based on two false assumptions. One is that water baptism washes away sins/original sin. The other is that water baptism puts you into the covenant or the church, both false teachings based on eisegeting water into Colossians 2.
Flee this papist practice.
@DrJohnNHamblin
Jesus IS the Word. We, however, are commanded to “Preach the word”. That requires careful attention to the text, not the shoot-from-the-hip, take-a-verse-and-take-a-fit nonsensical topical approach like so many neo-fundamentalists employ.
Unfortunately we’ve published a few Andersonite cult listings recently. While we’d prefer to delete all of them, at least if they’re marked, people can avoid them. Please warn your people away from these Biblically illiterate cultists.
Something we've been working on for a long time is finally getting pushed out: Abuse Report functionality and a special red badge for churches that have had credible reports of criminal abuse. It will show up in the search results and a more detailed description…

The same people that say the KJV is too hard to understand will point you to a pile of dusty manuscripts written in a dead language and tell you that God's words are in there somewhere.
BREAKING: Last night, after the livestream was shut down, Cameron Giovanelli was introduced to the congregation (by first name only) of Harvest Baptist Church in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Harvest Baptist Church is home to Harvest Baptist College.
Updates will be made to this thread.
The first recorded word from John the Baptist is "Repent." (Mat 3:2)
The first word of Christ's preaching is "Repent." (Mat 4:17)
Paul preached repentance (Acts 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; Rom 2:4; 2 Tim 2:25; Heb 6:1).
God wishes that every man repent (2 Pet 3:9).
Coincidence?
If you’re more worried about “restoring” a predator or hiding a history of abuse than you are about helping victims and preventing abuse, YOU are part of the problem.
This person and most of those replying seem to be unaware that the plural pronoun “you” is found in close to 2,000 verses in the King James Bible.
People mock what they do not understand or comprehend.
It is the unfortunate reality that most young people that grow up with a King James Bible never understand WHY they believe it, and then are blown out of the water by the first smooth-talking scholar that comes along to challenge their beliefs. We must be “apt to teach”, brethren
Jesus was buried at 6pm Wednesday (the beginning of Thursday) and rose at 6pm Saturday (the beginning of Sunday) for exactly 72 hours. “Good Friday” is Roman Catholic tradition and has nothing to do with the Bible.
Pray for missionary Christopher Yetzer in Italy as he looks for a place to live and a new meeting place for church services. They lost both their home and church location at the same time.
Having the right Bible means very little. The scribes and Pharisees had the right Scriptures, yet their narcissism and self-conceit led them to kill Jesus.
Having a King James Bible is not in and of itself an antidote to bad doctrine, polity, or behavior.
There are a lot of "KJV Buts" out there. As in "I love the KJV, but..." and the second phrase undoes the first.
You either have the word of God or you don't. Stop with the sophistry.
The answer to “Where was the Bible (in English) before 1611?” is the same as the answer to “Where was the Bible before 96 A.D.?” or “before Malachi?”
Stop wasting time on scoffers.
The natural result of textual criticism. When you deny the inspiration, inerrancy, infallibility, and preservation of Scripture, this is the logical conclusion.
I used to be a Bible-freak.
Seriously!
I still have my Bible from when I was a teen, all underlined in colored pencil and writing in the margins.
In my Bachelors, I took two years of Biblical Greek and a year of Biblical Hebrew.
Then in seminary, I took two more years of Greek,
The first man that I ever heard openly correct the KJV was on staff at one major IFB college and is now on staff at another one on the other side of the US. You might be surprised who all is involved in correcting the Bible in front of your kids.
2 staff members from Bruce Goddard’s church have now plead guilty to child sexual assault. Both situations where he did not contact law enforcement & chose to remain silent. He is now a conference speaker. Where are the men? Who has a backbone to end this atrocity?
Every epithet leveled against God's people, from "Christians" and "heretics" (Acts 11:6; 24:14) to Petrobrusians, Donatists, Waldensians, Anabaptists, to "Ruckmanite", was an attempt to label and discredit people that simply believed and preached the Bible they had in their hand.
You have heard of a Catholic Mass, well this is a Catholic mess.
“It’s Mass, Jim, but not as we know it.”
The Diocese of Superior is wild.
This is how they began their Chrism Mass at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Superior, Wisconsin.
How is this not a pagan ritual?!
Only a Calvinist would confuse "all men" or "any" or "whosoever", biblical terms, with "lost people predestined to be saved", a downright blasphemous concept found nowhere in Scripture.
Abuse, cover-ups, bad doctrine, and the rest of the failures of pastors are not the fault of the King James Bible. Throw out the real problem, not the scapegoat.

Let’s not allow the Bible to get in the way of a stirring patriotic diatribe.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. (Gal 4:26)
According to his version, Jesus is God's "one and only Son", so we don't actually get to be "sons of God" and Jesus can't be the "firstborn among many brethren"?
Words matter. Texts matter.
@BobGraySr
Would “exposing evil” include exposing a “pastor” who video taped underaged girls changing their clothes? While you’re at it, what about a pastor who carried on a long-term relationship with a minor? Would love to know your position on these pressing issues.
After pleading guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor, this guy is once again writing a “spiritual” blog instead of seeking honest employment. Anyone who lets him preach should be publicly shamed and thrown out of the ministry.
Cameron Giovanelli (

) has been out of prison for just over a month, and he's already attempting to slither back into a position of spiritual authority.
The KJV is the inspired word of God in English. Yet, I think God is much more pleased with a man holding an ESV that is seeking only to glorify God than He is with a KJV-thumping, “old paths” proclaiming, arrogant blabbermouth that is seeking his own glory or that of a movement.
The rapture of the church is pre-trib. The rapture of the trib saints is post-trib. Confusing these two raptures is one reason why so many people are teaching false doctrine.
The spreading of the Andersonite cult is largely due to the doctrinal ignorance rampant in fundamentalist circles. When a man can rail on the prodigal son’s mom and get “amens”, that demonstrates a deplorable shallowness in IFB circles.
Disagreements over ministry philosophy are sometimes reason enough to part ways.
Defending child abuse is ALWAYS a reason to part ways. Exposing, ejecting, and exfoliating the situation is the only way to deal with it biblically.

Immanuel Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. They’re starting a new college, North Florida Baptist College. The individuals in question are Greg Neal and Cameron Giovanelli.
If a doctrine requires an appeal to the original languages instead of the plain sense of the English Bible (or whatever language you speak) to defend it, that doctrine is questionable at best and probably false.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The gospel demands repentance. Salvation isn’t a prayer, a “squeeze”, or a response to an altar call. Salvation is the Person of Jesus Christ, where He gives life to a dead man and makes him a child of God. That requires repentance.
Hot take: Abortion will never be outlawed, Roe will never be overturned, and the GOP will continue to buy conservatives’ votes by promising to do these things.
And you’ll continue to believe that the next election is the most important one.
It is right to denounce abuse and those that cover it up. It is important to reach out to the victims and help the hurting. However, it would be a tragedy to abandon the truth in the process. We can have the right disposition AND the right position. There is no conflict.
Scripture indicates that two places are the greatest enemies of God and the Bible that ever existed: Alexandria and Rome.
So where do most “Christians” get their theology and scriptures? Alexandria and Rome.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but >>now<< is my kingdom not from hence.
Premillennialism is the only biblical position.

Most doctrinal error comes from failing to rightly divide:
Kingdom of God vs kingdom of heaven
Israel vs church
Spirit/soul/body
Salvation vs sanctification
Image of Adam/in Adam vs image of God/in Christ
Gospel of the kingdom vs gospel of Christ

You’ll never convince me that the Luther, Diodati, KJV, Valera, Judson, and other Reformation Bibles, from whence came two Great Awakenings, the worldwide missions movement, and so much more, are based on the “wrong” text, while…
Maybe this situation will have a culling effect in churches, and only those serious about serving the LORD in a biblical manner will will stick it out.
Would that upset you?
Virtually no one really understands what “created in God’s image” actually means.
It’s the trichotomy of the human nature: Spirit, Soul, and Body.
Lost men are born in Adam’s fallen image, and are restored to God’s image upon being saved.
Some of the most abusive, ungodly, destructive drivel ever perpetrated on believers comes packaged as if from God, but it’s really just private interpretation and misuse of Scripture.
“...Jesus told this man that he could expect homelessness on the journey ahead. Followers of Christ are not guaranteed that even their basic need of shelter will be met.”
Why would a Baptist church hire a defense attorney that defended a high profile serial child molester? And why would people continue to fellowship with that church?
“I quit believing in the perfect preservation of Scripture because an infidel convinced another infidel that God is a liar”
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Lost people are going to do lost people things. It’s all they can do. It’s our job as saved people to NOT do lost people things.
Unfortunately, I see a lot of saved people doing lost people things. That’s the problem in this world.
I have more respect for Satan himself than for a “pastor” who protects sexual predators or is himself a sex offender. They are blaspheming my Saviour and hiding behind the Bible while committing their heinous acts.
Welcome to our new followers.
Don’t be confused: we are a King James Bible believing resource for independent Baptists. That will never change. HOWEVER, we’re sick of seeing our Saviour get dragged through the mud by “pastors” and we’re doing something about it.
