The Sin Of Murder Preachers Sealing Souls For Hell dim umt The ministry_as a whole today is lost and on the road to Hell It's the blind leading the blind down to the 'pit'' 1 don t care what vou may believe. 1 -- know that is true There are only a few men left today who are proclaiming the Bible as it is to wmen as they are There are only a few men today who know how to be true to the souls of men There are only a few today who know EXPERI MENTALLY the Person and Work of Christ in saving a poor lost sinner, redeeming that sinner by His own pres cious blood. Every preacher "Who knows Christ Experimen tally will and does stand true to the souls of men. I can die but I cannot compromise. My subject is; "The Sin of Murder (Preachers Sealing Souls for Hell). Y’ou may take that to be a strange subject but I know what I'm talking about so you just listen. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a Murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44> Every soul our of Christr is a child of the devil, it doesn't matter whether you are reli gious or not. Every child of the devil is a murderer. That means you my friend are a murderer if you don’t know Christ as your Lord and your Saviour. There is much talk about the high murder rate on the streets of our nation and all over the world. And I am the first to agree it is awful, but, it will grow worse. There is murdering going on in many places, yet undetect ed. which is far worse than the murder taking place on the streets my friends. I’m speak ing of that group of Murderers who are preaching to you each Sunday where you go to wor ship. You are going some where to worship something or someone. But the murder I am speaking of is preachers in the pulpits of America sealing souls for hell and there is scarcely a cry against it. What is a preacher to do? Now you FF just listen; “I Charge Thee Therefore Before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his king dom; PREACH THE WORD; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, ex hort with all longsuffering and doctrine (II Tim. 4, 1, 2) God’s man is to PREACH THE WORD! He is to preach the Word as it is to men as they are regardless of whom it may hit. He is to declare God’s way of saving sinners, not what some great doctor thinks. Paul also said, I failed not to declare unto you the whole counsel of God. God's man is to and will PREACH THE WORD, not tell funny jokes. " _ A social gospel is preached today; “Now brethren don’t make anyone mad, try to get along with all the members ’’ That's one way the preachers today are murdering souls. Preacher, you are to warn sinners that they are under the wrath' of a sin avenging God. Those souls are at stake preacher! I was born into and grew up in the largest Baptist Church in our home community. Deep Creek Bap tist Church once boasted of a membership of over 600. more than any other sister church in the association. Every August we would have a "meeting" Note that I said meeting, there in your church In August, a group of young children would be brought down to the front __ and prayed for (on their knees) antTaflbr a~wliile the preacher or visiting evange list would ask for professions of faith in Jesus And maybe the preacher would ask the convert; "Do you feel like you are saved?" And then the convert maybe would say, “yes I feel like I can trust Jesus, or I feel that I'm saved" Or maybe they would say like I said when I made that profession, “I believe I can trust the Ixird ‘til I die." Never one time did old preacher J Little ask me or question me if I had made it to Christ or. "DO YOU KNOW CHRIST BRO LITTLE’ No never a lime did he question ■—- me—about awakening to the fact I was a lost sinner. Never did he aske me if I saw I deserved to go to hell and if I knew that I could only be saved by the POWER and BLOOD of the l»rd Jesus Christ Never did he ask me if I had REPENTED and had been given faith to LAY HOLD <ip CHRIST as He is revealed ‘ These messages are kept in print by the love offerings of our friends ^ who love the truth preached under the power of the Holy Spirit that awakens sinners and efidies saints, mail all tax deductible contributions to The Prophet's Column Inc., 9626 Feldbank Dr. Charlotte. N.C. 28216.” SUNDAYS 8:00-8:30 a m. WAGL 1560 kc. LANCASTER. S.C. 29720 hear the voice of truth broadcast with our late pastor, l.r. shelton to the sinner's heart by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God No. not one time did he ask me any such question Holy Spirit conviction that shows a sinner he is lost and alienated from God. without hope God t Hph. 2:12». that shows a sinner he hates God (Rom. 8:7>. no such things as those were ever mentioned and almost before I could gel that profession out of my mouth he hollered Amen! My friend, that is the usual way a preacher or evangelist murders poor blind souls to-, day! And that took place back there in the early 50's. I know there had been no change on the inside. And when I went back to school sometime later the teacher asked me, “James, what happened to you down yonder the other day? They tell me you got religion." I just sort of drop ped my head and smiled and walked off. 1 hadn't been off to myself very long and this conviction drifted into my heart; "There’s been no change on the inside." I felt empty just as I did before they got me down on my knees. Any preacher, now you get this; any preacner wno Drings a sinner into the church on a profession of faith such as I described that preacher there doing (get it) is a MURDER ER OF SOULS!!! . You preachers never ques tion a sinner to see if he has made it to Christ! You just accept their little profession and seal them for Hell! I came to see many years later after the Lord awakened me to my lost condition that old Bro' J. Little didn't know the Lord, if he had he would not have had me down on my knees to begin with, it’s sad but true that old Bro. J. Little died some years later and went to hell. Any preacher that will take a profession of mental faith in Christ as Saviour from a sinner and bring that sinner on in to church as a saved person without looking and -examining him to see if he has really made it to Christ is murdering souls! Did you get that? The average preacher does not know anything about being made a new creature in Christ, you know nothing a bout blood redemption in Christ, therefore all you know is just joining the church by profession, giving your heart to Jesus, and hitting the saw dust trail for Jesus. What a tragedy! 1 know this will make you preachers mad. but you preac hers are going to bust hell wide open unless you are awakened to your lost condi tion and granted repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I know what I am talking about. Would it suprise you if I told you I was deacon and Bible teacher when the Lord awa kened me to my lost condition that 1 had missed Christ? I told some of the folks down ' there at Deep Creek Baptist Church I was lost and they would not have it. The pastor would not have it. One of the evidences that a preacher is lost is that he does not under stand an awakened sinner! You don t understand an awa kened sinner Why? You've never been there' Some preachers take sin ners in by letter. And the poor blind souls are led to believe that they are saved by a blind preacher Oh' the hell you preachers face It would have been better that you, like Judas, had never been born May I say something else in passing that may shock you" Every sinner before he is saved, comes to the place he wishes he had never been born' Do you know what I'm talking about0 Do you? Do you know Christ as your l-ord and your Saviour0 Face these questions frankly and honestly my friend The preachers today do not know any more nliout magni fy mg Christ than a jack knows __abou^jiiagmD^n^iilioun(l dog. All a jack rabbit knows is, just to run when the dog is coming. Wait a minute, all a preacher knows to do when Christ comes in is just to run. Am 1 talking about two-legged jack rabbits or four legged jack rabbits? As I sit here before this typewriter I realize what I'm preaching is not popular, but I also realize I’ve got to be true to the souls of men I know that one day the Holy Spirit awakened me to my lost condition, showing me the judgement I vras under with satan and how satan had me bound in his clutches, it was there I began to cry for the Lord to deliver me. I saw and knew I could not deliver myself and if I were ever to be saved the Lord would have to do it all. I saw clearly that salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9). Praise the Lord. I would that you preachers knew what I'm talking about but I know you don't and it will be the greatest shock of your life when you and your congrega tion wake up in hell thinking you were saved. I know of churches, preachers and en tire congregations going to hell. mere are more preacners called of the devil than of the Lord. Paul said they appear as angels of light. They preach smooth things, try to get along with the crowds. You do not want to offend anybody. A preacher who preaches half truths will deceive more souls than a preacher who preaches an outright lie. Here is a preacher, he preaches a strong message one time that leaves his congregation dis turbed, wondering wnetner they are saved. Then he comes back at night and preaches like they are all saved. Washing away his previous message that distrubed them, his next message seals them for hell. He may be bringing a good message, but somewhere in the message he will com promise, and let someone off thinking they are saved while they are still on the road to hell. I heard a preacher one night in a church here tell his audience a person could be wrong on the coming kingdom of Christ and still be saved. What a tragedy 1 No soul who denies the Second Coming of Christ is saved'. What a trage dy ! No soul who denies the Second Coming of Christ is saved' What that poor preac her did was compromise. God never calls a man to misrepre sent Him. God does not call a man to preach one good mes sage this morning and then turn around that night and preach them all on the road to heaven. ini enuante oi a soul into heaven is a very rare thing, then how can you just let your members go along thinking they are saved preacher? You are a murderer in the first degree! Church members are paying preachers to seal their souls for hell. You didn't know you were doing that did y ou? I have a lot of preachers in my family, but they are lost prea chers, some young and some old You don't know how God saves sinners, why aren't you preaching it then? If I asked you to write me and tell me how God saves a sinner you couldn't do it. Alright, write me then and tell me how God saved you Some of you Bible teachers, can you tell how God saves a sinner? Write me and tell me, I challenge you. Most of you preachers won't iead this far in this message, you're too mad at the truth already. You preachers are going to acknowledge the truth about your old rott'en lost condition or go to hell’ How many sinners there in your congregation are awak ened.’ How many are Ijorn again° How many can you vouch for as being saved? Will you face that question0 l,et me ask you a question preacher, do you know Christ? Ilo you know the way of grace without the shadow of a doubt?
