Did
the Serpent have sexual relations with
Eve in Eden?
Are
the "Children of the Devil" physical
descendants of Cain?
Are
the descendants of Cain known as "Jews"
today?
"Beware of the false prophets,
who come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will
know them by their fruits. Grapes are
not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs
from thistles are they?" (Matthew
7:15-16) Sometimes
Jesus calls these false teachers
"wolves." Paul said that these men are
both "deceived" and are "deceivers
themselves." Heresy, which is designed
to sever brethren from Christ comes from
the work of wolves among the flock.
Jesus made a distinction between
"hirelings" and true "shepherds" by
saying that hirelings flee from the
flock and allow the wolf to come in
while shepherds protect the flock even
to the point of laying down their lives
for them.(John 10) Being
deceived, wolves don't know they are
wolves.
When we examine the teaching of a person
we must discern if they are offering
"grapes" or "figs" which nourish the
body, or "thorns" and "thistles" which
harm the body. "You will know them by
their fruits" Jesus said. In my
experience with wolves I have noticed
that their personal lives always seem to
be in disarray. Their lives are often
littered with broken marriages, strained
relationships and personal bondages to
one sin or another which they cannot
seem to be delivered from. Yet even in
all of this, they always seem to have a
desire to set themselves as teachers of
others. This is exactly why the Apostle
Paul gave such strict guidelines for the
qualifications of one who would be
entrusted with overseeing the heritage
of God. He knew that if one could not
find a history of good fruit in a man's
personal life, you would not find it in
his spiritual life either. Peter said,
shepherds are not to "lord it over the
flock" but to "serve as examples to the
flock." This is why the strict
qualifications and why Jesus said you
will know them by their fruits. Anyone
can talk, the real test of a person is
found in his walk. God sets godly
examples in His church so that His
children can follow their faith and
conduct.
The Apostle Paul was a
champion in the cause of the truth and
his rich legacy will be remembered for
all eternity as an example of a faithful
and loving shepherd. Much of the content
of his epistles are devoted to combating
false doctrines and false teachers whom
he often exposed by name. He instructed
the church at Ephesus to -"not
participate in the unfruitful deeds of
darkness but instead expose them."
(Chpt.5:11) In Acts
20 he
warned the Ephesian Elders that after
his departure ravenous wolves would come
in to devour the flock. And he even
prophesied that some among themselves
would arise and begin to teach perverse
things and draw away some of the
brethren from Christ. This was his
parting admonition to those Elders -"Be
on guard for yourselves and for all the
flock, among which the holy spirit has
made you overseers, to shepherd the
church of God which He purchased with
His own blood." (Acts 20:28) God
paid a high price for His beloved sheep
and His shepherds (Pastors) will one day
stand before Him to give account
regarding how they led and protected
them.
While on his mission to Macedonia and
still concerned with the brethren at
Ephesus, this devoted Apostle wrote
young Timothy and urged him to remain at
Ephesus to repute false teachers who
were introducing "strange doctrines."
One of these doctrines involved paying
attention to genealogies, notice -"Instruct
certain men not to teach strange
doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths
and endless genealogies, which give rise
to mere spectulation rather than the
administration of God which is by faith.
But the goal of our instruction is love
from a pure heart and a good conscience
and a sincere faith. for some men,
straying from these things have turned
aside to fruitless discussion." (1
Timothy 1:3-6) Later
in the Chapter the Apostle named
Hymenaeus and Alexander whom he says did
not "keep the faith" nor a "good
conscience" but "suffered shipwreck in
regard to their faith." Paul then tells
Timothy that because they rejected the
faith he "handed them over to Satan." (Verses
19-20) Apparently,
Timothy was not successful in silencing
these wicked men from spreading their
"leaven". About 30 years later Jesus
sent a letter to the church in Ephesus
and warned that they "had lost their
first love" and that if they did not
return to doing the deeds they had at
first, He would remove them from being
one of His churches. (Rev.2)
Paying
attention to "endless genealogies which
give rise to mere spectulation" is
exactly what it takes to believe and
spread the "Two Seeds" heresy.
Attempting to use "genealogy" to follow
the seed of Satan through Cain, and to
use"spectulation" to come to the
conclusion that his descendants today
are those who identify themselves as
Jews, but are actually the "children of
the devil." Being the "children of the
devil" means that this race cannot
receive salvation and exists only to be
destroyed. Receiving this perverse
teaching plants the seed of hatred
toward a race of people not because of
anything they have done, but simply who
they are. It was this mentality that
allowed the holocaust to take place in
Europe during the second World War. Bad
men flourished becaused good men turned
a blind eye and did nothing.
Villainizing a
race of people is nothing new but is one
of the tactics of the wolf. Paul
had to combat this when he wrote to
Titus saying -"For there are
many rebellious men, empty talkers and
deceivers, especially those of the
circumcision, who must be silenced
because they are upsetting whole
families, teaching things they should
not teach for the sake of sordid gain.
One of themselves, a prophet of their
own, said, "Cretans are always liars,
EVIL BEASTS, lazy gluttons." this
testimony is true. For this reason,
reprove them severely so that they may
be sound in the faith, not paying
attention to Jewish myths and
commandments of men WHO TURN AWAY FROM
THE TRUTH." (Titus 1:10-14) Here
Paul is exposing a false prophet by
using one of his own quotes against him.
He wants the Lord's flock to know how
this man really thinks. This wolf was
teaching that Cretans are "evil" only
because they are Cretans. Titus was told
to "reprove severely" and return "sound
faith" to those who had paid attention
to false teachers who had turned away
from the truth. Jesus said that where
there is hatred there is the spirit of
murder (Matt.
5) and
wherever this spirit abides there is a
desire to do the murderous deeds of the
devil. (John
8)
When I think of some of the heresies
condemned in Scripture, the Two Seeds
teaching is as evil as it gets. The
Galatian heresy was caused by false
teachers who insisted that the Gentile
converts to Christianity be circumcised
and directed to keep the whole Law of
Moses. Paul labeled this as a "perverted
Gospel" and
pronounced a double
"curse" on
anyone who would teach it.(
Gal.1) Paul
counseled Timothy that in some cases he
should not even engage false teachers
directly because the "empty
chatter" "will lead to further
ungodliness, and their talk will spread
like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus
and Philetus, men who have gone astray
from the truth saying that the
resurrection has already taken place,
and they upset the faith of some." (2
Timothy 2:16-18)
If I was asked to give a ranking order
to these three heresies, I would have to
say that teaching that a whole race of
people are actually the seed of Satan
would top my list, followed by the
perverted gospel in Galatia and then the
teaching that the resurrection had
already taken place. I am confident that
most of you reading this article would
agree with me in that. But, of course,
with or without ranking they are all bad
enough to cause brethren to fall away
from the faith and ultimately perish in
the flames of the Lake of Fire.
A Christian who has received heresy is a
sheep who has been biten. They are a
victim and every effort should be made
to restore them from where they have
fallen. The person who has the ministry
which teaches a heresy such as I
mentioned above is not a victim but a
heretic, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
These are those who are "sold out" to
the heresy to the point that it has
become their mission, their "ministry."
There is one who sows the "good seed"
which is the true "Word" of God, and
there is one who sows the "bad seed"
which is a doctrine of demons and the
very word of the devil himself. It is
one thing to honestly hold a false
teaching but another altogether to
spread it to others. A person who does
this is a leavening agent in the Body of
Christ, and Paul said a "little leaven,
leavens the whole lump." (1
Cor. 5) This
was Paul's reasoning when he instructed
the church in Corinth to cast a
practicing fornicator out of the church.
The church obeyed the Apostle and the
happy results are recorded in his second
letter to the church here - that the
sinner had repented and was to be
welcomed back. Of course he would never
had been welcomed back had he not
repented of his wicked deeds. Those who
practice sin in the congregation are bad
enough, but those who actively spread
heresy are far worse. They have become a
tool of the devil.
The Apostle John warned that if a person
goes "too far" off in his theology he
will lose both the Father and the Son.
He goes on to say that the faithful are
not to receive that person in their
house or even greet him. "For
many deceivers have gone out into the
world, those who do not acknowledge
Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh.
This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose
what we have accomplished, but that you
may receive a full reward. Anyone who
GOES TOO FAR and DOES NOT ABIDE IN THE
TEACHING OF CHRIST, does not have God;
the one who ABIDES in the TEACHING, he
has BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON. If
anyone comes to you and does not bring
this teaching, DO NOT RECEIVE HIM into
your house, and do not give him a
greeting; for the one who gives him a
greeting participates in his evil
deeds." (2 John vs 7-11) As
Paul asked the Corinthians, "What
fellowship has light with darkness?"
At the Feast of Tabernacles 2005 I met a
man named Jerry Gentry. We instantly hit
it off and became friends. I found Jerry
to be warm, friendly and charming. After
the Feast we continued to keep in touch
through emails and in late December he
and his family came to visit our
congregation here in Russellville,
Arkansas. Again, we had great fellowship
and we were pleased to meet his wife and
two of her sons whom we had not
previously met.
Soon after this visit I received an
email from Jerry (Jan.2, 2006) with a
link to an article at his web site. He
asked me to read the article and give
him some feedback. The article
was entitled the "Two Seeds." Just
to be fair, you can read it in its
entirety at Jerry's web site www.wildernesschurch.com I
was so busy at the time that I did not
visit the site or read his article until
more than two weeks later. On January 18
I received another email from Jerry
containing some questions and critique
of one of my recent sermons entitled
"The True Israel of God." After
receiving this email I took the time to
read the Two Seeds article. Not only did
I not agree with Jerry's theory I was
shocked at what I read. I realized also
that through the inspiration of the holy
spirit I had touched on the subject a
little in that sermon though I had not
yet read the article. This man presented
his article in a way that caused me to
believe that he honestly wanted to hear
how I thought it held up under
Scripture. But I found that he had done
this to others a number of times and had
received from them enough Scriptural
evidence to refute his theology, yet he
remained unchanged. I realized that he
really did not want to hear any proof
that he might be wrong, -his mind was
already set. He knew that most people
would reject this teaching but it is his
"ministry" and he feels the need to be a
fisher of men. It is his "truth" that he
must proclaim even if he must do it
subtly. He befriended me first before he
asked me to read his article.
I made the mistake of
asking Mr. Gentry to speak at our Feast
in October of 2005, and in December I
invited him to speak to our congregation
in Russellville, Arkansas. He gave a
fine message about the Church being the
true Temple of God. I put his message on
our web site and did not remove it until
I came to know about his two seeds
theology. At the time of this writing,
Mr. Gentry has one of my sermons and my
name listed at two of his web sites even
though he now knows I want nothing to do
with him or his work. I have asked him
to remove my message and my name but he
refused. At
this point I feel the necessity to make
it publicly known that Points of Truth
Ministries nor the Crusade Church of God
is sympathetic to him or his cause.
This was not my first exposure to this
doctrine. I counseled a Pastor from
Georgia who was dealing with it in his
congregation in 1996. I told him to show
those people to the door and tell them
they are not welcome in the House of the
Lord. Then four years later it raised
its ugly head when Fred DeAryan attended
our Feast of Tabernacles at Yorktown
Bay, near Hot Springs, Arkansas in 2000.
I was aware that his "ministry" held
very racist views so I did not allow him
to speak during the festival. But I
walked in on an argument he was having
with my friend who is a minister and
happened to be a Christian Jew. DeAryan
was presenting the two seeds theory in
an effort to show that those we consider
Jews today are not really Jews but
actually the seed of Satan. Being the
host of the Feast, I stopped the
conversation and forbade DeAryan to
distribute any literature on the subject
just in case he had that in mind.
After reading the "Two
Seeds" article
I did some research on Jerry Gentry and
also the Church
of Israel which
he had previously been affiliated with.
Again, what I found was shocking to me
and the congregation here. We found that
Jerry was very racist in his views and
favored segregation. In the Joplin Globe
(Dec.17, 2000) he was also quoted as
believing that Blacks and Asians are
primate races. This is similiar to
Hitler's view that some races are
sub-human.You can read some of his views
at www.rickross.com/reference/israel/israel15.html .
I have given him every opportunity to
deny, clarify or renounce these quotes
attributed to him but he has refused to
do so.
Before we get into exposing this false
doctrine as the heresy it is, I will
layout the basic points of the belief.
The doctrine of the two seeds is an
important teaching in the Christian
Identity movement who
holds the belief that the White Race are
the descendants of Israel and that the
gospel message is only for them. And
also, those who claim to be Jews today
though white, are not true Israelites
but actual descendants of the devil.
BASIC
POINTS OF THE TWO SEEDS HERESY
The
Serpent seduced Eve into having sexual
relations with him
Eve
was deceived into believing that she was
having sexual relations with God
Genesis 6 "proves" that fallen angels
can have sexual relations with women
Immediately afterwards Eve had sexual
relations with Adam
The
result was that Eve became pregnant by
the Serpent and Adam
Eve
gave birth to Cain who was of the seed
of the Serpent
Eve
gave birth to Abel who was of the seed
of Adam.
They
conclude that Cain and Abel were twins
Adam,
Eve and Abel were of the White Race
Because Cain was of the Serpent seed he
is the father of the "Children of the
devil"
The
"Children of the devil" are known as
"Jews" today
The
White descendants of Abel are the true
Israelites
Non-White Races are "primate races"
which existed before Adam
These
groups of "sub-human" people have no
soul and do not need salvation
That
there is a great "Jewish Conspiracy" to
steal true Israel's heritage from them
Since
the Gospel is only for "White
Israelites" they believe that the
"Gentiles" of the New Testament were
really members of the lost Tribes of
Israel
The
Church of God is composed of Whites only
- thus the "Christian Identity" movement
There may
be some differences among the various
groups which embrace the two seed myth
but these are the basic beliefs and
conclusions which follow. From here we
will examine the points in the order
that I listed them in.
Did
the Serpent seduce Eve into having
sexual relations with him?
The
following is from the "Two
Seeds" by
Jerry Gentry - "That
first Romeo beguiled her, that is, he
stirred her passions and seduced her.
She and her husband Adam then covered
their nakedness with fig leaves. If it
were a forbidden apple or peach or pear
or other fruit of that nature that they
had eaten, don't you think they would
have covered their mouths? Instead,
"they sewed fig leaves together, and
made themselves aprons"(Gen.
3:7). Whatever
took place was definitely of a moral,
sexual nature, because afterwards they
covered up their nakedness."
"In the
briefest manner, the Bible tells us the
explicit result. Look carefully at verses
1 and 2 of Genesis
4, and
you will see that Adam cohabited with
Eve after she ate the fruit of the
Serpent. The result was a set of twins
from two different fathers. Cain was
born first and Eve exclaimed: "I have
gotten a man from the LORD!" Eve had
been so deceived and beguiled by the
Serpent, that she actually thought she
had cohabited with "the LORD." She then
"bare again," or continued in labor, and
bore Cain's half brother, Abel, the son
of Adam. Two babies, two fathers, one
mother."
LASITER
COMMENTARY: Let's
look at what the Bible actually says and
what it does not say. "The
Lord commanded the man, saying -'From
any tree of the garden you may eat
freely; but from the TREE OF THE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL you shall not
eat." (Genesis 2:16-17) Notice
also what Adam and Eve's sin was -"When
the woman saw that the TREE was good for
FOOD, and that it was a delight to the
eyes, and that the TREE was desirable to
make one wise, SHE TOOK FROM ITS FRUIT
and ATE; and she gave also to her
husband with her, and he ate." (Genesis
3:6)
WHAT THE
SCRIPTURE SAYS: God
forbade the first humans to eat fruit
from a Tree - the Tree of the Knowledge
of Good and Evil. The Tree was a
composite of good and evil. The Bible
says that they ate "fruit" of the tree.
After eating of its fruit their "eyes
were opened" and they became like God in
that they knew both good and evil where
previously they had only known good. Eve
gave also to her husband Adam and he
ate. Because he ate of the same fruit
are we now to assume that Adam also had
sexual relations with the Serpent? We
see that Adam had relations with his
wife and she conceived Cain AFTER they
were put out of the garden -"Now
the man had relations with his wife Eve,
and SHE CONCEIVED and gave birth to
Cain..."(Genesis 4:1) This
clearly shows that Cain was not only
conceived after the Serpent beguiled Eve
but that the conception and birth took
place after they had been put out of the
garden of Eden.
WHAT THE
SCRIPTURE DOES NOT SAY: It
nowhere says that Eve was seduced by the
Serpent. It does not say that they ate
of the fruit of the Serpent. God created
both the Tree of Life and the Tree of
the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Gen.
2:9), nowhere is this tree alluded to as
the tree of the Serpent. The Bible does
not say that Cain and Abel were "twins."
Nowhere does the Scripture imply that
Eve thought that she had sexual
relations with the Lord. "I have gotten
a man from the Lord" is a common saying
when one gives birth to a child. The
Bible says children are a gift from God.
Eve made a similiar statement when Seth
was born saying -"God has
appointed me another offspring."
(Gen.4:25)
ANOTHER
POINT TO CONSIDER: If
Cain were of the actual seed of the
Serpent, being a child of the devil
himself, then why did God plead with him
to overcome the temptation to murder his
brother Abel? Afterall, God had already
said that He, Himself would "put enmity
between the Serpent and the woman and
between his seed and her seed." (Gen.
3:15) The
passage goes on to say that "HE" shall
bruise the Serpent on the head. Who is
"HE?" Who bruised the Serpent's head? Of
course, this is referring to Jesus who
would ultimately come in the flesh be
born of a woman and destroy the works of
the devil.
God counseled Cain
to "master sin" and assured him that if
he did well that he would be accepted.
Notice, -"Then the Lord said to
Cain, 'Why are you angry? And why has
your countenance fallen? If you do well,
will not your countenance be lifted up?
And if you do not do well, sin is
crouching at the door; and its desire is
for you, but you must master it."
(Genesis 4:6-7) For
"will not your countenance be lifted
up?" the literal Hebrew reads -"surely
you will be accepted." Cain was not
"sin" or the embodiment of sin. Sin was
outside the door with a desire for him.
Cain could have chosen to resist the
desire to sin - he could have mastered
sin. He chose to commit murder. The Book
of Jude speaks of false teachers who had
"gone the way of Cain." (vs 11) Cain
went the wrong way. God had set before
him life and death, blessing and curses,
and Cain chose the curse and death. He
received the word (temptation) of the
devil and BECAME a son of the evil one.
Does
Genesis 6 prove that fallen angels can
have sexual relations with women?
From the "Two
Seeds" by
Jerry Gentry - "How
could the devil be a literal father,
like Adam was a father? He is not even
human." True,
but did you know that certain angels
called "sons of God" once cohabited and
reproduced with women? Yes the Bible
says "That the sons of God saw the
daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which
they chose" (Gen.
6:2).
"Who are
these "sons of God?" We find the answer
in Job: "Now there was a day when the
sons of God came to present themselves
before the LORD, and Satan came also
among them" (Job
1:6). Here,
"Satan" is listed as one of the angelic
"sons of God."
"Back in Genesis
6, is
the record of "the angels which kept not
their first estate, but left their own
habitation"(Jude
6).
LASITER
COMMENTARY: I
am going to make my case against the
idea that these "sons of God" were
fallen angels, but if they were it would
not somehow prove that Satan had sexual
relations with Eve. Remember what Jesus
said, -"For in the resurrection
they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are like the angels in
Heaven." (Matthew 22:30) This
seems to indicate that angels do not
marry.
There has been much speculation about
the meaning of this passage in Genesis
Chapter 6.Some teach that
fallen angels took on the form of flesh
and had sexual relations with women
producing a race of giants called the
Nephilim. The proponents of this view
state oral tradition and the advent of
mythology to support the teaching. In
this brief article I will use only the
text of this passage itself, and will be
quoting from the New American Standard
Version which is considered the most
literal translation in print.
Verses 1 & 2, "Now it came
about, when men began to multiply on the
face of the land, and daughters were
born to them, that the sons of God saw
that the daughters of men were
beautiful; and they took wives for
themselves, whomever they chose."
Commentary: We
find there that the "sons of God" took wives from
the "daughters of men." The important
question here is, who are the "sons of
God?" Are they demons, fallen angels
taking the form of flesh and actually
entering a Marriage
Covenant with
daughters of men? Would God call evil,
fallen spirits "sons of God?" Some say
that Satan was one of the "sons of God"
referred to in Job 1:6. But the passage
says that when the sons of God came to
present themselves before the Lord that
Satan "also came
among them." Satan came "among them"-
"them" referring to the "sons of God."
This is not saying that Satan is a son
of God but that he appeared "among" the
sons of God like a tare might appear
among the wheat.
Like faithful men, angels are sometimes
called sons of God in Scripture as we
see in Job 38:7 but it is not angels
being referred to in Verse 2. Notice
also that these sons of God "chose" for
"themselves" certain "daughters of men."
Verse 3, "Then the Lord said,
"My spirit shall not strive with man
forever, because he also is flesh;
nevertheless his days shall be one
hundred and twenty years."
Commentary: We
see here that because the "sons of God"
took for themselves the "daughters of
men" God limited man's days to 120 years
and said "My
spirit shall not strive with man
forever." Men
had lived to be much older prior to this
judgment, notice also, the judgment had
to do with God's spirit abiding in man.
In the previous chapter we find that
Methuselah lived to be 969 years old. We
must ask the question, "if the sons of
God were fallen angels, why was the
judgment against "man?"
Romans 8 tells
us twice that only those who possess the
indwelling of the holy spirit are the
"sons of God." Although the holy spirit
was poured out on Pentecost in 31AD,
there have always been faithful men and
women whom God had given His spirit to.
In Psalm
51we find King David praying
that God would not take His holy spirit
from him. Jesus called Abel righteous. (Matthew
23:35) In Genesis
5 we
find that Enoch "walked with God" and
God took him. Notice also the time line
of the great cloud of witnesses so
eloquently spoken of in Hebrews
11, almost all lived prior to
the coming of Christ.
Jesus told His disciples "Blessed
are those who have not seen yet have
believed." I
believe He was referring to the faithful
who lived before He came as the Savior.
These Faithful servants could not look
back to Calvary as we can, but had to
look forward to the cross and believe
that God would someday redeem them from
their sins.
Let us consider for a moment that the
"sons of God" in Genesis
6:2 were
faithful men whom
God had given the holy spirit to. Men
who were not only born of men but born
again of God,- marrying worldly women
born only of men. Notice also what began
to take place with the descendants of
Seth just prior to this time -Then
men began to call upon the name of the
Lord."(Genesis 4:26) Now
let's see how the passage begins to
shape up.
The Hebrew word translated as "strive"
here literally means "rule in." Some
ancient versions read "abide in" or "in
his going astray he is flesh." The word
"nevertheless" in verse 3 can mean
"therefore" in Hebrew as well.
Putting this together let me
paraphrase,- When the faithful sons of
God,- righteous men possessing the holy
spirit, saw that the women of the world
were beautiful, they lusted after them,
taking them as their wives, thus
becoming "unequally yoked" together with
unbelievers. (1 Corinthians 7)
They "chose" for "themselves" rather
than letting God provide for them. In
this they were quenching the spirit
within them, which is why God said "My
spirit shall not "strive", "rule in" or
"abide in" man forever, for "in his
going astray he is flesh," therefore I
will limit his years on earth to 120.
Notice that God is saying that His
spirit could not stay in those who
lusted after the flesh. This means that
there were men who had the holy spirit
abiding in them but fell away when they
set their eyes and hearts on the flesh,
in this case, women who were not born of
the spirit.
Verse 4 - 6, "The Nephilim were
on the earth in those days, . . ., when
the sons of God came into the daughters
of men, and they bore children to them.
Those were the mighty men who were of
old, men of renown. Then the Lord saw
that the wickedness of man was great on
the earth, and that every intent of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. And the Lord was sorry that
He had made man on the earth, and He was
grieved in His heart."
Commentary: "Nephilim"
here is certainly the "mighty men,"-
"men of renown." The Nephilim were a
result of the unholy union of the sons
of God with the daughters of men.
Nephilim is taken from "Napal" meaning
"to fall." But who are these who fell?
Was it angels who had become demons at
Lucifer's rebellion, or was it faithful
men who fell away from God by going
after fleshly desires?
Notice that God said that He "saw that
the wickedness of man was great." That
"every intent" of man's heart was evil.
And that God was even sorry that He had
made man.
Again, it is man whom God holds to
blame. And it was to men that God's
judgment was pronounced against. The
same men who were once called the "sons
of God."
What about Jude where it
states -"the
angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own
habitation"(Jude 6)? An
"estate" and a "habitation" is a place
of dwelling.
Satan and his fallen angels were
confined to this earth as their dwelling
place. When God asked Satan what he had
been doing, Satan replied "Walking the
earth."(Job 1) But
Satan and his demons ascended to Heaven
in an attempt to overthrow the throne of
God but were cast back down. (Rev.12) The
earth is the estate and the habitation
which they left when they unlawfully
ascended to Heaven. Also, the term "son
of God" can refer to an angel of God or
a man. There is no real Biblical proof
that the "sons of God" spoken of in Job
1 are angels. The Bible does not say
that the meeting took place in Heaven
either. It says that when the sons of
God came to present themselves before
God that Satan came among them. It could
be that the sons of God in Job 1 were
faithful men and that Satan was there to
accuse them before God. The Bible says
that he is the "accuser of the
brethren." Zechariah
3 tells
of Joshua standing before the Lord with
Satan right there accusing him. There is
no indication that Joshua was LITERALLY
standing at God's Throne, and the
presentations of the "sons of God" may
not mean that they were LITERALLY
standing at God's Throne.
Are
the "Children of the devil" who we know
as "Jews" today?
From the "Two
Seeds". "The
amazing revelation concerning "thy
seed," or the Serpent's seed, is
uncovered clearly in the words of Jesus
Christ Himself, who stated to a certain
group of Pharisees: "Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do" (John
8:44).
The phrase "Ye are of your father the
devil" means offspring in a literal,
physical sense. Check the Greek words,
if you doubt it."
"Of your
father the devil." "Of your father the
devil." Here Jesus is talking with some
flesh and blood people who are "of your
father the devil."
More from
the "Two
Seeds"."You
say, all right, but show me more
evidence. OK, the Bible says:
"Behold, I
will make them of the synagogue of
Satan, which say they are Jews, and are
not, but do lie; behold, I will make
them to come and worship before thy
feet, and to know that I have loved
thee" (Rev
3:9).
"The
synagogue of Satan "which say they are
Jews," today is mostly made up of the
descendants of Cain."
More from
the "Two
Seeds". "They
do not descend from "her seed," but from
"thy seed" of Genesis
3:15.
The unlawful, out of kind seed of the
Serpent has continued to grow among the
wheat of God, all the way down through
history. This is the usurer race. This
is the merchandising race. This is the
race that corrupts music. This is the
cheating race that lives by a vile book
called the Talmud. This race has
inflamed hatred and enmity with "her
seed" of Adam's race since that eventful
day in the Garden. This race was at
various times kicked out en masse from
the major nations across Europe."
"Two
Seeds. One from God. One from the devil.
Wheat and "cheat," the good seed and the
tares. Now you know who they are. Now
you know the difference."
LASITER
COMMENTARY: First
let's examine more closely that
Scripture in John 8:44 where the article
reads -"Ye
are of your father the devil, and the
lusts of your father ye will do" The
point of this reference in the article
is to "prove" that some of those who
claim to be "Jews" are really the
offspring of the serpent. Yet in verse
37we clearly see that Jesus
acknowledges that these same men were
Abraham's descendants, Notice, -"I
know that you are Abraham's descendants:
yet you seek to kill Me, because My Word
has no place in you." Here
we see that the children of the devil
cannot simply be the physical
descendants of Cain but can even be
Abraham's descendants. They are those
who have "no place" for God's "Word" in
them. The Two Seeds theology teaches
that the White race are Abraham's
descendants and is the true Israel of
God, and that those who call themselves
"Jews" are sired of the serpent and
descendants of Cain, Notice again the
article -"The
phrase "Ye are of your father the devil"
means offspring in a literal, physical
sense." Yet
here, Jesus is saying that Israelites
can become the children of the devil if
they will not receive God's Word
implanted in them.
DOES THE
BIBLE TELL US HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE
CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL?: The
answer is "Yes.""Little children
make sure no one deceives you; the one
who practices righteousness is
righteous, just as He is righteous; the
one who practices sin is of the devil;
for the devil has sinned from the
beginning. The Son of God appeared for
this purpose, to destroy the works of
the devil. No one who is born of God
practices sin, because His seed abides
in him; and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God. BY THIS, the children of
God and the children of the devil are
obvious; ANYONE who does NOT PRACTICE
RIGHTEOUSNESS is NOT OF GOD, nor the one
who DOES NOT LOVE his brother." (1 John
3:7-10)
Notice what Paul
wrote the Ephesians, -"And you
were dead in your trespasses and sins,
in which you formerly walked according
to the course of this world, according
to the prince of the power of the air
(Satan), of the spirit that is now
working in the sons of disobedience."
(Ephesians 2:1-2) He
is saying that before they were
converted that the spirit of the prince
of the power of the air was working in
them, and is even now still at work
wherever there are sons of disobedience.
Again, they are identified not by
genealogy but by their disobedience.
WHAT THE
SCRIPTURE SAYS: We
will know them by their "works" not
their genealogy. Those who practice
righteousness are "born of God" and
those who practice lawlessness are
"children of the devil." I might add
that the Jews were more known for
preaching the works of the Law than
lawlessness. It was judaizing
"Christians" who insisted that the
Gentile converts be circumcised and
directed to keep the whole Law of Moses. (Acts
15:5)
WHAT THE
SCRIPTURE DOES NOT SAY: That
we will know the children of the devil
because of their physical genealogy, or
that anyone who calls himself a "Jew" is
a child of the devil. The New Testament
theology of Jesus does not teach us to
hate a race of people because of their
physical genealogy. In fact, Jesus even
gave the story of the good Samaritan to
a Jewish audience, a people who hated
the Samaritans.
Notice that one
"who does not love" is not of God. Jesus
said that we are to even love our enemy. At
the end of the Two
Seeds article we
can clearly see the hatred come out,
notice -"This
is the usurer race. This is the
merchandising race. This is the race
that corrupts music. This is the
cheating race that lives by a vile book
called the Talmud. This race has
inflamed hatred and enmity with "her
seed" of Adam's race...Now you know who
they are. Now you know the difference." This
is the same Satanic tactic that Paul
wrote Titus about when he quoted a false
teacher as saying, -"One
of themselves, a prophet of their own,
said, "Cretans are always liars, EVIL
BEASTS, lazy gluttons." this testimony
is true."
OTHER
POINTS TO CONSIDER: Jesus
called Peter "Satan" when he was acting
outside of the interests of God, -Get
behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling
block to Me; for you are not setting
your mind on God's interests, but
man's." (Matthew 16:23) Jesus
did not mean to imply that Peter was
actually Satan or even a child of the
devil. He was showing us that anything
outside of the interests of God is of
the devil.
In Acts
Chapter 2, we read the sermon
which the Apostle Peter delivered to
Jews who had come to Jerusalem for the
feast of Pentecost. Peter said, "This
man (Jesus), delivered over by the
predetermined plan and foreknowledge of
God, YOU NAILED TO A CROSS by the hands
of godless men and PUT HIM TO DEATH."
(Verse 23) As
a result of this strong preaching, three
thousand of those Jews repented of their
sins and received Jesus as their Savior
that very day. Surely, some in this
number were among the ones who had
participated in conspiring to have Jesus
murdered, otherwise Peter's searing
message would not have applied. Jesus
called those Jews who desired to murder
Him, children of the devil. So, what we
see taking place on Pentecost is men who
were previously doing the works of their
father, the devil, repent and become the
children of God.
Is the
Gospel Message of Salvation only for the
"White Race?"
Are
all White people the physical
Descendants of Abraham?
Are
the "Gentiles" of the New Testament
really Israelites who had lost their
Identity?
Is the
Church of God composed of Whites only?
Is
There a Great "Jewish" Controversy to
hide who the real Israel is?
The
"Christian Identity" movement says that
only White can be Christians -is this
true?
It is true that
Israel was split into two separate
nations after the death of Solomon and
that the Northern Kingdom composed of
ten tribes were called the House of
Israel, while the Southern Kingdom was
hence referred to as the House of Judah.
The Northern Kingdom was conquered by
the Assyrian Empire in 721 B.C. and
carried away as slaves. I believe that
it is correct to say that they
eventually lost their identity. The
famous first century Jewish historian
Josephus wrote about the lost tribes,
saying that they were migrating tribes
and even mentioned their location. It is
reasonable to believe that some of these
tribes later became nations in Europe.
There is much evidence to suggest that
this occurred.
However, to come
to the conclusion that all the white
nations of Europe are the descendants of
the lost Ten Tribes of Israel would mean
rewriting the history of Europe. Clearly
the Greek empire under Alexander the
Great was a white race, as was the Roman
Empire during the time of Jesus. Jesus
prophesied that He would be handed over
to the "Gentiles" to "godless men." Here
the term "godless men" is referring to
Roman Gentiles. Also, there are some who
study history who believe that the
Assyrians were a white race who later
became known as the Germanic peoples of
Europe. Both the Assyrians and the
Germans call their home the "fatherland"
which is very rare, rather than the
"motherland" which is the common
reference to a peoples homeland. In
Scripture the Assyrians are called the
"scourge of Israel" and it was this
people who conquered the House of
Israel.
In Matthew
Chapter 10 we
find that Jesus sent His disciples to
the "Lost Sheep of Israel" and told them
not to go the way of Samaria or the way
of the Gentiles. Jesus clearly knew
where these lost tribes were when He
sent them out, but obviously they did
not reside in Samaria since He told them
not to go there. Samaritans looked so
much like any other Jew that they
claimed to be their brothers from time
to time.(according to Josephus)
It is also true
that Jesus was sent only to the children
of Israel. But it is also true that He
came to save the whole world from sin
and instructed His disciples to "go
make disciples of ALL NATIONS, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and the
Son and the holy spirit, teaching them
to observe all that I commanded you."
(Matthew 28:19-20) Paul
taught the Galatians that the Gospel had
been preached to Abraham beforehand,
Notice, -"The Scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the
Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel
beforehand to Abraham, saying, ALL
NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." (Gal.
3:8) This
"blessing" is that the Gospel of Jesus
Christ would come to the Gentiles -"In
order that in Christ Jesus the blessing
of Abraham might come to the Gentiles,
so that we would receive the promise of
the spirit through faith." (Verse 14) We
see that faith in Jesus was not limited
to Abraham's physical descendants but
that the Gospel is for ALL NATIONS.
The Covenants were
offered to all twelve tribes of Israel
at the foot of Mt. Sinai. This occurred
before Israel split into two nations. If
the "Gentiles" of the NT were really the
lost Ten Tribes of Israel Paul would not
have said that they were strangers to
the Covenants. "Therefore
remember that formerly you, the Gentiles
IN THE FLESH, who are called
"Uncircumcision" by the so-called
"Circumcision", which is performed in
the flesh by human hands -remember that
you were AT THAT TIME separate from
Christ, EXCLUDED FROM THE COMMONWEALTH
OF ISRAEL, and STRANGERS TO THE
COVENANTS of promise, having no hope and
without God in the world." (Ephesians
2:11-12) Though
they are Gentiles "in the flesh" they
are Israel in the spirit. In Philippians
3:3 he called them the "true
circumcision." They were never
circumcised in the flesh by "human
hands" but were circumcised of heart by
the hands of God. The Gentiles were
never a part of the "commonwealth of
Israel" and had been "strangers to the
Covenants."
Acts 17:30
-Says that God commands "all
men everywhere" to repent.
Romans
2:10-11 -Says
that glory will come to the man who
"does good", to the Jew first and also
to the Greek, for God is no respecter of
persons.
Colossians
1:23 -Says
that the Gospel is to be preached to
"every creature which is under heaven."
WHO IS
THE TRUE ISRAEL OF GOD?
ARE
THEY ONLY THE PHYSICAL DESCENDANTS OF
ABRAHAM?
The Gospel was
preached beforehand to Abraham when God
said "ALL NATIONS will be blessed in
you." Every tribe, tongue and nation
would have the opportunity to receive
the blessing of Abraham which is the
Covenant of Promise. This is the
Christian Covenant. The
Scripture, foreseeing that God would
JUSTIFY THE GENTILES by faith, PREACHED
THE GOSPEL beforehand TO ABRAHAM,
saying, "ALL NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN
YOU." (Galatians 3:7-8) Notice
how Paul continues this revelation, -For
you are all sons of God through faith in
Christ Jesus. For all of you who were
baptized into Christ have clothed
yourselves with Christ. THERE IS NEITHER
JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither slave
nor free man, there is neither male nor
female; FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST
JESUS. And if you belong to Christ, then
you are ABRAHAM'S DESCENDANTS, HEIRS
ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE." (Verses
26-29) What
does it take to become one of Abraham's
descendants and heirs of the promise? To
have faith in and "belong to Christ." In Chapter
6, verses 15 and 16 Paul
says that they have become a "New
Creation" and are the "Israel of God."
Romans
9:6-8, -"For they are not all Israel who
are descended from Israel; nor are they
all children because they are Abraham's
descendants, but; "THROUGH ISAAC YOUR
DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED." That is, it
is not the children of the flesh who are
children of God, but the children of the
promise are regarded as descendants." "Israel"
is the name given to Jacob after he
wrestled with the Lord in the wilderness
of Penuel. Therefore, we can read the
first sentence with this understanding,
-"For they are not all Israel who are
descended from Jacob." (Israel) The
Apostle is revealing new truth here,
that it is not the "children of the
flesh", -not the natural descendants of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who are the
true heirs, but the children of the
promise. Isaac, not Jacob was the child
of promise, and when we enter into
Abraham's Covenant of Promise, we become
his children and heirs of the promises.
Ephesians
3:3-8, -"That by revelation there was
made known to me the Mystery, as I wrote
before in brief. By referring to this,
when you read you can understand my
insight into the MYSTERY OF CHRIST,
which in OTHER GENERATIONS was NOT MADE
KNOWN to the sons of men, as it has NOW
BEEN REVEALED TO THIS HOLY APOSTLES and
PROPHETS in the SPIRIT; to be specific,
that the GENTILES ARE FELLOW HEIRS and
fellow MEMBERS OF THE BODY, and fellow
PARTAKERS OF THE PROMISE IN CHRIST JESUS
through the GOSPEL, of which I was made
a minister, according to the gift of
God's grace which was given to me
according to the working of His power.
To me, the very least of all saints,
this grace was given, to PREACH TO THE
GENTILES the UNFATHOMABLE RICHES OF
CHRIST." We
see here, that until the Church was
established, and the Apostles and
Prophets of Christ received revelation
and were sent forth, the Mystery of
Christ was not made known. This was a
new revelation from God through the
Apostles and Prophets. The Mystery of
Christ is that the Gentiles who had been
alienated from God can now be saved and
become "fellow heirs" and "members of
the body" and "partakers of the
promises" of Abraham to whom the promise
was given. That the Gentiles could come
to God through Christ.
This is what the
Apostle Peter meant when he wrote, -"As
to this salvation, the prophets who
prophesied of the GRACE THAT WOULD COME
TO YOU made careful searches and
inquiries, SEEKING TO KNOW what person
or time the SPIRIT OF CHRIST WITHIN THEM
was indicating as He predicted the
sufferings of Christ and the glories to
follow. IT WAS REVEALED TO THEM THAT
THEY WERE NOT SERVING THEMSELVES, BUT
YOU, in these things which NOW HAVE BEEN
ANNOUNCED TO YOU through THOSE who
PREACHED THE GOSPEL to you by the holy
spirit sent from heaven - things into
which ANGELS LONG TO LOOK." (1 Peter
1:12) This
good news was revealed by those who
preached the Gospel. Notice also that
even "angels long to look" -they are
watching to see how the Mystery of
Christ unfolds.
Ephesians 3:8-11, -"To me, the very
least of all saints, this grace was
given, to PREACH TO THE GENTILES the
unfathomable riches of Christ, and the
BRING TO LIGHT what is the
administration of the MYSTERY which FOR
THE AGES HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN GOD who
created all things; so that the manifold
wisdom of God might NOW BE MADE KNOWN
THROUGH THE CHURCH to the RULERS and the
AUTHORITIES in the HEAVENLY PLACES. This
was in accordance with the ETERNAL
PURPOSE which He carried out in Christ
Jesus our Lord." What
was the "eternal purpose" which was
carried out "in Christ Jesus?" It was
that all men who would call upon the
name of the Lord and repent of their
sins would receive God's mercy and
salvation through the sacrifice of
Christ. Notice also, that "Rulers" and
"Authorities" in heavenly places are
learning God's Mystery "through the
Church." This Mystery not been made
known to the "sons of men" nor to
"Authorities" in heaven.
We see in John
3 where
Jesus spoke with the Jewish leader
Nicodemus and told him that if he wanted
to see the Kingdom of God that he must
be "born again." For fear of the Jews,
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. He
said, "We know you are a teacher from
God because no one could do these signs
unless God is with him." Jesus perceived
what Nicodemus really wanted to ask -
are you the promised Messiah? Is it you
who is going expell the Romans and bring
sovereignty back to our nation? Are you
going to establish the Kingdom of God on
the earth as the Prophets have foretold?
Jesus answered him by saying -"Unless
one is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the
Kingdom of God." Nicodemus, being a son
of Abraham, thought that he was an heir
by birthright. Jesus was saying that it
was not enough to be born of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob but that he must be born
again. Jesus revealed to Nicodemus that
he was in need of a spiritual birth to
enter into the Kingdom of God. So, we
see that it is not the children of the
flesh who are heirs but the children of
the promise, born of the spirit who are
heirs. Even Jews and Israelites of the
other tribes must be born again of the
spirit to become the true heirs of the
Kingdom.
Paul instructed
the Church to not recognize anyone
according to what they are in the flesh
and that God is reconciling the whole
world through His Son. "Therefore
from now on we recognize no one
according to the flesh; even though we
have known Christ according to the
flesh, YET NOW we know Him in this WAY
NO LONGER. Therefore if anyone is in
Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE; the old
things passed away; behold, new things
have come. Now all these things are from
God, who reconciled us to Himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry
of reconciliation, NAMELY that God was
in Christ RECONCILING THE WORLD to
Himself, not counting their trespasses
against them, and He has committed to us
the word of reconciliation. Therefore,
we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God were making an appeal through us; we
beg you on behalf of Christ, be
reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians
5:16-20) It
is clear that Jesus gave His precious
life for the sins of the whole world,
not just the physical descendants of
Abraham as this Heresy teaches. Those
who bring this teaching are not
"ambassadors for Christ" and are not
"making an appeal" for the WORLD,
including non-Israelites, to "be
reconciled to God." They are preaching
ANOTHER GOSPEL and ANOTHER JESUS who did
not give His life for all but for only
the White race. (2
Corinthians 11:2-4)
Wolves -Do
you find them charming? This
shouldn't surprise you, -"For
such men are false apostles, deceitful
workers, disguising themselves as
apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even
Satan disguises himself as an angel of
light. Therefore it is not surprising if
his servants also disguise themselves as
servants of righteousness, whose end
will be according to their deeds." (2
Corinthians 11:13-15) Jude
calls false teachers "hidden reefs" who
"feast with you." When Hymenaeus and
Alexander received a doctrine of demons
they hit one of those "hidden reefs" and
"suffered shipwreck in regards to their
faith." (1 Timothy 1:18-20) Sadly, as a
result they became "hidden reefs"
themselves and Paul had to "hand them
over to Satan."
I have been
inspired by the life and acts of
Polycarp who was a disciple of the
Apostle John. He was so greatly
respected and served as an unyielding
pillar in the Church of God. In the
second century AD when Gnostic
"Christianity" was beginning to draw
many away from the true faith, he had a
famous encounter with the great Gnostic
Heretic, Marcion. Marcion knew how
valuable an indorsement from Polycarp
would be to the Gnostic movement, so he
publicly asked, -"Recognize us
Polycarp." To which Polycarp replied
with a loud voice, -"Yes, I recognize
the first-born of Satan!" Polycarp knew
he could not extend the right hand of
fellowship to those who were proclaiming
a perverted gospel. I give thanks to God
for raising up a faithful man who would
make a stand for the truth of the gospel
so boldly. Later this great saint stood
in the midst of flames as he was burned
at the stake.
CONCLUSION
The
Bible nowhere says that the Serpent had
sexual relations with Eve
The
Bible does not teach that angels took
wives or had relations with women
The
Bible does not say that the "sons of
God" of Genesis 6 were fallen angels
The
Bible does not say that Cain was the
physical descendant of Satan
It is
a gross error to come to the conclusion
that the Jews are the spawn of Satan
The
Bible nor History supports the theory
that only the White Race is Israel
The
Bible teaches that the true Israel are
those born of the spirit
The
Bible teaches that salvation is for the
whole world
That
the TWO SEEDS teaching is a Heresy and
anyone who teaches it is a Heretic
That
this teaching plants the seeds of hate
not love
That
the children of Light can have no
fellowship with the workers of darkness
That
it is the duty of the faithful to expose
evil intentions
Let us never forget that the Apostle
John warned that if a person goes "too
far" off in his theology he will lose
both the Father and the Son. he goes
from being a "victim" to being a "wolf"
when he begins to teach it and spread
its poison. John goes on to say that the
faithful are not to receive such a
person in their house or even greet him. "For
many deceivers have gone out into the
world, those who do not acknowledge
Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh.
This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose
what we have accomplished, but that you
may receive a full reward. Anyone who
GOES TOO FAR and DOES NOT ABIDE IN THE
TEACHING OF CHRIST, does not have God;
the one who ABIDES in the TEACHING, he
has BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON. If
anyone comes to you and does not bring
this teaching, DO NOT RECEIVE HIM into
your house, and do not give him a
greeting; for the one who gives him a
greeting participates in his evil
deeds." (2 John vs 7-11)
WOLVES AND THEIR HERESIES FROM GOD'S
PERSPECTIVE
Being Ministers of
Satan, Wolves have only one mission and
that is to steal, kill and destroy the
Lord's Heritage. (John 10) Being
deceived themselves they generally do
not know that they have become the
instruments of the devil. They believe
what they teach fervently. Jesus laid
down His precious life and endured the
shame and suffering because of His love
for the sheep. All who repent and
receive salvation are placed carefully
into the Body of Christ.
All Heresies are
designed to perform spiritual abortions,
tearing the child of God from the Body
of Christ. Paul told the Galatians that
if they received the Heresy that was
spreading in their congregations, that
they would be "severed from Christ."
(Gal.5) The tragic end for those who
become shipwrecked in their faith, is to
be cast as a profane thing into the Lake
of Fire which was exclusively made for
Satan and his demons. It is not God's
desire that any should perish but that
all should be saved. There is much
rejoicing in heaven when a single sinner
is saved and his life is tenderly placed
into the Body of Christ. How much pain
and sorrow does God feel when He sees
one of His little ones suffer a
spiritual abortion because they have
been seduced by a doctrine of demons?
There has been
many days when our Father and our Savior
has experienced pain and heartache. When
He had to send the merciless Assyrian
hordes to conquer his people Israel. How
did He feel as He saw them place hooks
into the lips of His chosen people and
carry them away as slaves? It was not
what He wanted to do. He had sent
Prophet after Prophet making appeals for
them to repent of their sins. But they
would not repent.
I believe that
there has been rivers of tears shed in
heaven since the day God created man.
But I believe God's most dreaded day is
yet ahead. The day when He will have to
cast people who had succumbed to
apostasy into the Lake of Fire. God does
not want to have to do this. He will
only do it because He cannot allow sin
and those who spread it into the Kingdom
of Heaven. But the truth is, God did not
make man to ultimately perish in Hell.
That was never His will. Please
Brethren, especially you Pastors, watch
over the Lord's Heritage and protect
them. When Jesus looked upon the people
He felt compassion because they were
like sheep without a shepherd. (Mark 6:
34) "Compassion" here literally means to
"feel your inward parts yearn." Do not
allow wolves to come in and tear the
Lord's children from Him. One day He
will have to cast into the flames of
Hell the very ones He had once tenderly
placed into the Body of Christ.
If the
teaching is dark, the teacher is in
darkness
"What
fellowship has light with darkness?" Apostle
Paul
