What is in a Name

By Pastor Roger Redmond
Our Hope is Christ and He promised to come for the believer, John 14:1-3. I want to caution our church family not to get caught up in setting dates. His coming for us in the Rapture! And the rapture is in the Father’s Hands. In my understanding of 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We have long since been in the window of the Rapture and we are waiting in this period of His longsuffering to us-ward, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Man cannot set dates because no one can measure the depth of His longsuffering.



What is in a Name?

What will the record show about our name?

There is a lot happening and some of the news is unbelievable! It highlights the wickedness, and the depravity of mankind. I talked about this last night before we started streaming.  I read the article before Vanderbilt deleted it.  But they could not delete what was already recorded. So, I hope you will search for the information, you can only get the full impact by reading yourself!

[BREAKING: Vanderbilt transgender clinic deletes entire website after Matt Walsh exposé…

 

“After they have drugged and sterilized the kids, Vanderbilt — as explained in this video presentation by plastic surgeon Julien Winocour and Physician’s Assistant Shalyn Vanderbloemen — will happily perform double mastectomies on adolescent girls. 

So, let’s review. Vanderbilt got into the gender transition game admittedly in large part because it is very financially profitable. They then threatened any staff members who objected, and enlisted a gang of trans activists to act as surveillance in order to force compliance. 

They now castrate, sterilize, and mutilate minors as well as adults, while apparently taking steps to hide this activity from the public view.

This is what "health care" has become in modern America. “]

 

As he does so often, Tucker Carlson pick up on such news and his show last evening focused on this. { He read Matt Walsh’s article as I did]

 

From Tucker Carlson’s program 9/21/2022: No one seems to be interested. Virtually alone in our media, Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire decided to find out the answers to those questions and in that search, he obtained this video. It's from 2018. The video shows a physician called Shayne Taylor from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which, like UCSF, has a global reputation for excellence. In this video, Taylor explains that Vanderbilt performs gruesome sexual surgeries on children. Why? Because those surgeries make Vanderbilt money.  

 

More pain: Massive explosion rocks BP oil refinery in Ohio… BP’s website explained the refinery “process up to 160,000 barrels of crude oil each day, providing the Midwest with gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, propane, asphalt, and other products.” It added: “On a daily basis the refinery can produce 3.8 million gallons of gasoline, 1.3 million gallons of diesel fuel and 600,000 gallons of jet fuel.”

 

Our Hope is Christ and He promised to come for the believer, John 14:1-3.  I want to caution our church family not to get caught up in setting dates.  His coming for us in the Rapture! And the rapture is in the Father’s Hands.  In my understanding of 2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We have long since been in the window of the Rapture and we are waiting in this period of His longsuffering to us-ward, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Man cannot set dates because no one can measure the depth of His longsuffering.

The next event on the prophetic calendar is the rapture and as long as we are waiting in His Longsuffering the Rapture is yet to happen.  But even in that the rapture is imminent, it is about to happen and it can be today.

2Pe 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. And the day of the LORD starts with the Rapture.

The question is this: Should we call out false teachers by name?  If we do not who will?  Remember the enemies of the Gospel are in the church not down the road.

Jud 1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jud 1:4  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Bible calls out some by name, some for good and some for evil

1Ti 1:19  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 1Ti 1:20  Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Who is Hymenaeus? 2 Timothy 2:17, And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;  “canker:” is like gangrene

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus - . Of Philetus nothing more is known. They have gained an undesirable immortality, destined to be known to the end of time only as the advocates of error. Can you imagine being know forever as the advocate of error?

Who is Alexander? 2Ti_4:14  Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

2Ti 2:14  Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.[ war of words merely upsets the hearers.]

2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2Ti 2:16  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2Ti 2:17  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; a “cancer” or “gangrene. It will destroy the entire body if not cured

2Ti 2:18  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

2 Timothy 1:16, Who was Onesiphorus? ( His name means bringing profit ) is named twice only in the New Testament, viz. ( 2 Timothy 1:16-18 ) and 2Tim 4:19 Paul mentions him in terms of grateful love as having a noble courage and generosity in his behalf, amid his trials as a prisoner at Rome, when others from whom he expected better things had deserted him. ( 2 Timothy 4:16 ) Probably other members of the family were also active Christians. ( 2 Timothy 4:19  Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.) It is evident from ( 2 Timothy 1:18 ) that Onesiphorus had his home at Ephesus. (A.D. 64.) Remember this is the church that left their first love

2Ti 1:15  This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. That is all we know about them

2Ti 1:16  The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

2Ti 1:17  But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

2Ti 1:18  The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

People will depart from the Faith, [1 Timothy 4:1-7] But Christ never changes, follow Him

3Jn 1:9  I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 3Jn 1:10  Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. 

That is all that is known of him! How tragic! What is preeminence? Preeminence is the state of being preeminent —extremely distinguished, outstanding, or superior to all.  Diotrephes was in competition with Christ.

Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Col 1:19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; When you seek to be first in the church, you take honor and glory from Christ,

Col. 2:9,   For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. All the fulness of the Godhead is in Jesus the Son of Man, [John 14:1}.  The fulness of the Godhead was in Jesus before the incarnation, John 1:1, 1:18, Phil. 2:6.

The fulness of the Godhead was in Jesus during the incarnation. John 1:14, 1 John 1:1-3.

John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. A blessing that all believer may have by faith in Christ. Here the picture is “grace” taking the place of “grace” like the manna fresh each morning, new grace for the new day and the new service and grace for the grace you need.

Lam 3:22  It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. Lam 3:23  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 

How will our life be described? Mal 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 

Mal 3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 

 

3Jn 1:12  Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true. 

3Jn 1:13  I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: 

3Jn 1:14  But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
