The Rape of God

Preface

After being converted from a very rebellious boy to a wonderful experience of the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus in 1942, I remember singing "I will go where you want me to go dear Lord, I will be what you want me to be." I never dreamed that these many years later I would be led to be the Lord’s servant in these things I am presenting here. I am sure that the same Spirit of the Lord works in the hearts of all in the same way. That with you as well, there is an uneasiness about there being something fundamentally wrong with our 21st Century Christianity. There are those everywhere who have the same feelings for those who repent and fully surrender to God are led by the same spirit. Surely there are many in the same position as I was, for the first 40 years of my ministry.

After many years on the mission field I found that the foundation of Catholicism was the pagan metaphysics. (Upon these metaphysical laws they base their basic doctrine of the power of their priesthood to change the host into the body of Jesus in the third portion of Suma Theologica of Thomas Aquinus.) I then felt I was led of the Spirit to examine Reformed Theology and discovered that at the foundations of evangelical theology there are theories and myths about the Covenant of Redemption and the definition of God that are contradictions to the plain accounts in the Bible. We are to know God and have understandings with Him. To speak about defining God is to announce that we are still in a condition of rebellion and unrepentant, "in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity." The false concept, which is almost universal, is that since God is consistent we can understand and act upon His laws and the impersonal power of God will respond. The Almighty all knowing I AM never can be used as an impersonal power. It is true that Satan, that princely fallen angel by his very life moves in the spiritual realm as we do in this one, but not one detail escapes the knowledge of our Great I AM. All activity of his fallen host of angels better known as demons is recorded for the final judgement.

The true Christian surrenders to God, placing himself in total dependence for strength upon the working of God in himself and finds constant communion with God as he becomes part of the vine. The first is the principal used by religious people who continue in rebellion and sin and is at the root sorcery. We who do this become the same as the Pharisees of Jesus day. I Sam. 15:23

There is an Imperative to Inform

The sin of having another God before the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will cost every man his soul. Better that he never had been born. Upon this rests the imperative of my writing this book. Multitudes of ministers have never really repented and cannot know the walk in the Spirit who find themselves in the same condition as the Pharisee’s of the days of Jesus. They will, I am sure, be very offended by this work and will use everything at their disposal to discredit not only the book but myself. I stand ready to suffer this gladly as Jesus paid so much for me. I have almost ran my course and will ask God to bear me up until he gives me the joy of going home to be with Him.

An eternal now?

The basic teachings that have gone wrong are about all things being foreknown and God living in an eternal now in the past and in the future as well as the present. These teachings just do not fit the texts in the Bible. They define God making the meetings with God by Abraham an analogy and in this they place us under another god of destiny. The texts about God being in a blinding light that no flesh can approach are used to justify this but this shekinah glory can be dimmed when God speaks personally to man as illustrated in Ex. 33. Defining God according to Aristotle’s "first mover" in the covenant of redemption theories slanders God of His most important characteristics of absolute impartiality and justice as moral Creator and Governor of the universe.
