The Beginning?

Yes, Christians can sometimes be scare-mongers. Yes, we can sometimes misinterpret signs of the times. And yes, some can incite hatred. So, what can we say, and how should we say it, in the light of the New York atrocity on the 11th September?

Can we just remain quiet? After all, most Christians stayed silent when the Toronto Blessing came. And they said nothing as self-appointed ‘apostles’ and leaders  made atrocious claims and did vile things in the name of God. 

Yes, even though thousands were killed by murderers on that fateful day in New York, I can guarantee that most Christians, probably the same ones who did not speak out against the TB, will speak in hushed tones behind their own walls, but will not speak out against the enemy, violent Islamic fundamentalism.

That is why we at BTM issued two blunt but amenable statements on the internet. (Read them for yourselves). One gave a summary of our Christian thoughts on what Islam is really saying in these days. The other asks Muslim leaders to position themselves with, or against, those who can kill so mercilessly. (Since added to).

The reason why so many Christians remain silent about Islam is that they fear reprisals. Friends, I am just as scared of reprisals as you are! But, I fear God more. How can I remain silent when evil men strut the earth and kill thousands in the name of ‘God’ (Allah)?

The Fearful Truth

Way back in history, this kind of awful divide, with violence, was prophesied in the Old Testament. Read Genesis 17, verse 19 onward... God said that He established His covenant with Isaac. He promised to make a great nation (the Arabs) for Ishmael.  He is the ‘father’ of the Arab nations today. Both Ishmael and Isaac bore the same circumcision, yet Isaac was God’s man and the people he ‘fathered’ were the Israelites. But, it was foretold that the people of Ishmael would forever fight against the people of Isaac...Arab against Israelite and everyone else.

Ishmael was described by God – and that description can be applied to the Islamic extremists we see now...”he will be a wild man; his hand (will be) against every man, and every man’s hand against him...”

When Mohammed founded Islam, his armies stormed the Middle East. They were fearless men who killed anyone who did not submit themselves to their god, Allah. Many thousands became Muslims because they feared the sword, not because they wanted to be followers. (The same happened to those who were invaded by Roman Catholics, of course).

The Islamic holy book, the Koran, contains texts that speak of killing infidels. Those who kill non-Muslims are promised many benefits in the after-life. For this reason, and being taught from birth to hate and kill, these people become hardened terrorists. 

Just as we have nominal Christians who commit evils in the name of God, so we have nominal Muslims who do the same thing. Most Muslims live in peace...in the West, that is. Those countries that are totally Islamic tend to be strict, vicious and intolerant. Many Christians, even today, die at the hands of strict Muslims in those countries.

Jihad

Afghanistan declared another jihad against America. That means it extends to any country that supports the USA. The chilling truth is that all Muslims everywhere must obey the jihad. They must do whatever they can to further the effects of a jihad, whether this is financial, verbal, or physical, using force. 

In Islamic law, only Islamic scholars may judge and punish another Muslim. To date, they have not punished terrorists who act in the name of Allah. That means they condone what has been done. Though some Muslim leaders in the West have condemned the New York killings, they say that they ‘understand’ the reasons behind them. This leaves reason to doubt their loyalty to the Western countries who allowed them to live there. At what juncture will these ‘loving’ Muslims turn against the people they live amongst, and kill them?

Is this scare-mongering? I don’t think so! One of the bombers who killed people in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Centre, and who is now in a USA prison, was a humble student at a college I once attended, in my own home city. He came to obtain engineering knowledge, the same knowledge he needed to create mayhem and bombs. Yet another Islamic terrorist attended the local university. So, enemies in our midst is a very real and ongoing threat in the West.

The people who flew two ‘planes in to two buildings are not alone. They have many colleagues, in many countries. Their aim is to destroy those who are ‘infidels’. A lot of them presently are ‘sleepers’ – those who live amongst people as ordinary folk, awaiting the call from their leaders to perform acts of jihad. When that occurs, those same ordinary folk who are somebody’s next door neighbours, will arise and kill without hesitation.

On one news item, an expert stated what I have suspected all along – that many Islamic terrorists came to Europe under the guise of being ‘asylum seekers’. I must say that the recent amazing accounts of hundreds of ‘asylum seekers’ trying to force their way in to the Channel Tunnel, ring a warning bell in my head. Perhaps there are some amongst them who are genuine...but I cannot help thinking that this happened just before the New York tragedy. I am suspicious! How many of those persistent men and women were Islamic terrorists?

I am also suspicious of the high numbers of ‘refugees’ who go missing every year in the UK...literally hundreds of thousands! And what of the Muslim refugees who sued the UK recently...where will that money go? Scare-mongering? I don’t think so in the light of the way terrorists operate.

The Future?

A proper study of scripture tells us that the ‘end days’ or ‘end times’ began in the days of the Apostles. We have been given certain signs that will occur when those end times are drawing to a close. We have already witnessed a massive apostasy, during the time of the Toronto Blessing, and continuing with the Alpha course.

All political and military commentators agree that what happened in New York was very different. It heralds a new era in warfare and brings in a fear that will not go away. We agree with them. We see in that one incident another sign of the times, that the end is starting. This jihad is only the beginning. It began what will continue, with equal ferocity.

The Muslim who planned the recent atrocity is attempting to buy modern weapons of mass destruction. He tried to buy two nuclear submarines. He had a ‘sleeper’ as a member of an Arab nuclear submarine crew, who killed his fellows in an attempt to steal the submarine. Thankfully, he was shot dead.

Our good friend, Saddam Hussein, has a growing arsenal of nuclear and biological weapons. So, the threat is fast becoming a reality. New York was only the first victim.

The threat of terrorism is growing rapidly. The end times is drawing to a close, but the end is not yet. We have asked Muslim leaders to declare themselves social and political friends or foes, if they live amongst us. This is now vital and urgent. Of course, anyone can say they are our friends and still kill us. But at least we can get Muslims to look at what they truly believe and to say whether or not their religion can sustain violence.

Personally, I have no problem living amongst Muslims when they are tolerant. But I have a grave problem with those who openly support terrorism. I also have a problem with those Muslims who hint at such support, by not opposing it. Whilst I do not respect the Islamic religion because I believe it to be error, I nevertheless respect Muslims as people. We are fellow human beings and we must live together.

Looking at what has happened, maybe readers can begin to understand why I am so adamant about ‘asylum seekers’. We are being forced to accept anyone who wishes to come here. We are being swamped by numbers and by an unknown number of ‘undesirables’ who are criminals or killers. God help us all to remain Christian and loving, yet hard-nosed when it comes to political and military realities.

As I said in our web site items, if David, the apple of God’s eye, were still king today, his response would be swift. He would chase down the killers and execute them immediately. He would over-run and destroy all who harboured them. He understood the realities of war and of life and was not weakened by senseless and futile false ‘love’. 

Many Christians are afraid of these realities and say that they wish to have no part in them. Yet, they allow Christian policemen to put their lives on the line by apprehending and sometimes physically fighting criminals. They pretend Christian soldiers, who have to kill, are nothing to do with them. 

They are ignorant of the fact that the most dangerous killers and fiends of our day are guarded by Christian psychiatric nurses, who are in danger of being killed every day...as I know from experience. They care even less about the men who protect our shores and who must remain secret...some of whom are Christians...MI5, MI6, those in the SAS, and so on.

As Believers we are to live peaceably with all men as far as we are able. Scripture does not tell us to just roll over and be stomped on by those who love violence! So, be aware, friends. Do not be afraid in spirit, but be strong in Christ. Things will get worse. This we know from scripture. But, God is greater than our enemies! Let us respect all men, but let us not respect their erroneous beliefs. Let them have the earthly right to express those beliefs – but don’t let us be hammered without reason. Let us, ‘play the man’ and do what must be done, with humility and as much love as is warranted.

There are times when hard facts must be faced, and this is one of those times. There are times when even Christians must oppose violent men with the sword. Let it be so. Muslim extremists are no different from Nazi hard-men...whom Christians fought in the Second World War. Scripture does not teach unlimited or unconditional love. Nor does it teach unconditional pacifism. May God give us all wisdom – and courage to do what must be done.

Additional Note

Since writing the above, we have added a Muslim Forum to our web site, in which we ask Muslim leaders to explain why some Muslims are violent and some are not, yet both claim to be true Muslims. This is an ongoing section of the site that has attracted some attention. Check it out for yourselves if you can – there is a lot more material on the site than can be put in this publication.

Why did I take up this issue? I don’t know! I felt it was necessary, in much the same way as I was suddenly thrown in to the charismatic scene by the Toronto Blessing. I am not sure what the purpose of my involvement is, but whatever I am doing is what I know I must do.

On the site I declare that whilst Christians cannot accept the legitimacy of Islam, we must nevertheless all live together, otherwise there will be mayhem and more violence. This is in keeping with the teaching that we must try our best to live in peace with everybody...but we must not ignore the final words ‘if we are able’. I am no pacifist. Nor am I a violent man. But, if force is required then it must be so.

Though calling for peace between neighbours and being as honest as possible about my opposition to Islam, I feel a disquiet when I hear moderate Muslims and officials speak of Muslim love and peace. Surely this is what I want to hear? Yes, but I also hear the responses from Muslims and others, and cannot help but feel there is a problem.

I am not convinced that the voice of moderate Muslims is the authentic voice of Islam. There seems to be a growing suspicion that though these Western Muslims are mainly peaceful, it is the terrorists and the fundamentalist Muslims who appear to truly represent the real Islam. And that is very scary.

There is the belief in some Christian circles that what is happening is very Islamic and that as the whole ‘civilised’ world gathers its forces against terrorism, the violent men of Islam are joining forces with each other to form one big Islamic ‘state’ that will launch an explosive attack on everyone in the West. As this kind of activity is all in keeping with prophecy, it is very heady stuff...but, the signs appear to support such claims.

The next article (amended for Beacon readers) first appeared on our web site a short while ago. I ask all Christians to be alert and to be aware of the signs of the times, which are fast coming to the point of One World government….but not to be in fear.

What’s Going On?

(The original article first appeared on the Christian Doctrine web site, 28th September 2001. This is an amended version)

Many of our readers know that I am not particularly keen to get enmeshed in ‘conspiracy theories’. However, I can see the signs of the times for myself and I have God’s word before me.

There are many unanswered questions about what is now happening, but one thing is becoming very clear – the One World Government prophesied in the Bible is fast approaching.

Such a government cannot simply arise out of thin air – it has been devised over many years. When one thinks of the way Roman Catholicism has its plans for religious and social domination going back many centuries, such a plan on the part of governments is not unthinkable. Indeed, governments are always in intrigue.  Things go on in ‘our’ governments that the people know nothing about.

The machinations of the EU have particularly struck me, ever since the UK electorate were fooled in to joining. (I voted against it). Now, the iron will of the EU is very apparent, and an armed force is already in the wings ready to take over as the ‘official’ army of the EU.

But, do not think that only entire countries or governments are behind this remarkable enacting of end-times prophecy. No, only a sinister and secret few are involved in the manufacture of an entire world government, which will, no doubt, have a ‘sanitised’ and unified single religion to minimise religious conflict and argument. Governments and terrorists are only the tools used by these men to get what they want.

Behind every war and skirmish is money. Without the financiers of war, no country, or even a small band of terrorists, could operate. The financiers are always there in the background...and the more wars they can finance the richer and more powerful they become.

They use their money and power to breed the select ‘others’, who do have a public face. These will take all the glory when plans go well, and all the shame when things go wrong. The real rulers therefore remain faceless and powerful, no matter what. But, though faceless, they do have names. Mainly, these names are not known until history uncovers them in due course.

As we have said before, do not think that a government is above selling its own people down the river for the sake of aiding these faceless men. It is not just feasible, it is fact. During the wars of the 20th century there were ‘acceptable casualties’ of war, as generals deliberately sent thousands to their deaths in futile or decoy attacks. 

Even in the humble UK health service, its psychiatric specialists used a particular psychological ‘therapy’ (Gestalt) that had an acknowledged ‘10% casualty rate’ which was considered ‘acceptable’. Remove the jargon, and they were talking about successful suicides committed as a direct result of using the ‘therapy’. 

So, governments will sacrifice their own peoples in order to get what they want....’they’ meaning the faceless men behind them; the men with the real power and money.

Frankly, I see the recent events in New York in this light. The suddenness of the One World idea is not of recent origin. It has been baking away in the oven of intrigue for a very long time. Since, in fact, the death of Jesus Christ, if not before. Satan is behind every movement that is godless, whether it is a false religion or a vicious government like the Taliban. (Bear in mind that terrorist organisations are a kind of ‘round-robin’. Bin Ladin, for example, was trained by the CIA to fight against Russian troops. Then, he turned on his trainers. This is very common – many terrorists were trained by the West. So, the violence comes home to roost).

Satan is behind it because he wants to wreak havoc in God’s world. He started with antichrists in the time of the Apostles. They were numerous. Since that time antichrists are almost two-a-penny. Rome, though a powerful player, is only one of them. I believe it is a mistake to pin all one’s antichrist suspicions on just one group or person. 

There are also others who are against God’s word, from weird cults to major world religions. In this category we include Islam and even current Judaism (for it rejected, and continues to reject, the Messiah).

We presently have a special forum for Muslims, so that they can explain the anomaly of a claimed ‘loving’ Islam and the awful activities of Islamic terrorists and governments. We have said on that forum that we will not compromise on our beliefs, just as they will not compromise on their own. Nevertheless, we MUST all live together, acknowledging that we will not all accept each other’s beliefs.

Some fear that I will be deceived by talk of peaceful Islam. Forget the fear. I have asked Muslims to explain why some of them hate and kill whilst others do not. Thus far I have had some courteous responses. But, it seems that these quiet Muslims who wish to live in peace, are not the true face of Islam. Rather, it is the terrorists who represent Allah. 

Nevertheless, we shall continue to ask for explanations and to demand that moderate Muslims separate clearly from their violent brethren. This will not make Islam right or acceptable, but it will show us where the terrorists sit. To me, violent Muslims are the true face of Satan. They do his bidding and are the modern day equivalent of the Muslim hordes who swept over the Middle East soon after Mohammed wrote his invented religion. They slaughtered anyone who stood in their way and murdered people who did not want to become Muslims. The terrorists are saying, “Submit to Allah – and to us – or we will kill you horribly. And when you submit, we shall treat you as we treat our own people in Afghanistan, with brute force and cold eyes.”

All have fallen short of the glory of God and need salvation! It does not matter who we are – we all need salvation through Jesus Christ the Lord. So, this article is not aimed at any particular religion or cult, but at every person on this planet.

Governments are now poised to initiate the full One-World package. The New York event merely pushed the ‘start’ button. There are too many ‘coincidences’ occurring for us to ignore what is going on. ID cards are soon to be brought in, along with many other ‘security’ measures, which some see as the mark of the beast.  Yet others have called for microchips to be implanted in to every person ever born, so that their details can be made known instantly via computers. Not only would such devices tell us if a person is who he says he is – it can also track him wherever he is and tell others what he is saying and doing. Also, in theory, such a chip could contain a ’neutralising’ agent, killing those who are deemed rebellious.

Though all this is still theory, it has already been mooted, like so many other theories that have come in to practice. 

These measures are not about protecting people from terrorism. They are the culmination of a Satanic plan to destroy not just lives, but souls. One can destroy a body but leave the soul intact. It is the soul or spirit that Satan wishes to destroy. And if he must use governments, or terrorists, or faceless financiers, to do it, he will!

For some years we have warned that the restriction of Christian freedoms is imminent. We have quoted many actual examples without resorting to any of the ‘conspiracy theories’. We did not need to use them, because scripture is enough to tell us that we can expect these things to occur. Now, the signs are coming so thick and fast, we cannot attribute them to anything but end-time activities.

So, the governments who are adamant about joining together to control terrorism are acting out what Satan desires. He is a strategist of the highest order with power and intellect to match. He has been manipulating minds for centuries to formulate take-over plans. Over time he has used violence in the form of wars. Now he is using terrorism and well-established plans together, to bring his final objectives in to play. 

We will see global mixing of disparate forces and beliefs, in an effort to ‘protect’ the people of the world. Though it seems far-fetched, this is all a spearhead for a plan devised for one single reason – Satan’s hatred of God and His word leading to the hoped-for destruction of God’s Church and His work.

To effect this, Satan will overcome the current opposition between each cult and religion. The Toronto Blessing went a long way toward this objective. Slowly, they will all join together, using ‘similarities’ of beliefs as their basis. Then they will simply be one big family of heretics together. Meanwhile, Islamic (and other) terrorists will do their thing as well, so that all the others can cling together for comfort.

These will all throw their full weight against true Christians, stopping evangelism and banning real Christian witness, with the blessing of one unilateral world state. This started some time ago (as we have warned, using many illustrations). The most recent example, of course, is the so-called ‘Human Rights’ law demanded by the EU.

Christians, do not compromise your faith at this time for the sake of ‘peace’. Here at Bible Theology Ministries we genuinely wish to live in social harmony with Muslims and others. What does this mean? It means that we want the freedom to preach and to oppose what we believe to be wrong, including Islam, according to scripture. It inevitably also means accepting that same freedom for false religions. 

The gathering gloom of false religions is a judgement of God upon errant peoples, including Christians. We will enter a spiritual Dark Age of unprecedented proportion. This will probably bring in violence against true (Bible) Believers, but it is the price we pay for long periods of laxity concerning God.

Those used by Satan are unaware that they are just pawns in a very long game orchestrated by him. They are not the real or ultimate enemies, though they can certainly kill our bodies or bring fear to our souls. No, the real enemy is Satan, who is masterminding every move. 

Even so, the end is not yet, for many other things have to come to pass before God winds up this universe. Though swift and startling, this present One-World situation is but the start.

There are genuine watchmen within the churches, but be careful, for there are also false watchmen who do not give the full truth. They add their own thoughts to the truth, making it tarnished or untrue. Many conspiracy claims are being made and some of them can only lead to tears and false hopes or fears. And maybe even hatred. 

Just read scripture and be aware. See the signs but do not panic. Instead, turn to God and repent. Then, walk with God and take refuge in His hand as some of the things prophesied come to pass before our very eyes. Be wise yet crafty!

As violence and the loss of Christian freedoms  loom over the world, it is a natural reaction to flee and hide away in fear. But, this is when the opposite is needed. Stand firm. Fight the good fight. Seek God and learn from His word. Pray and be assured. Know and apply pure doctrine. Be a true witness.

It is a fact that most Christians are happy to ignore me. Mainly, so does the media. This is because I do not toe the party line or knuckle down to the mediocrity that poses as Christianity. This is not of my choosing. It is a work from God. I say no new thing – only what God has already said in His word.

At this time it is becoming very evident that everyone wishes to not only accept moderate Islam as a friend, but also to appease those Muslims who shout about being misunderstood. Friends, I am saying that what we see today is what God set in motion a very long time ago, when He made Ishmael’s descendants a great nation. He told us that this nation would forever be actively violent. 

From this nation came Mohammed and his false religion. Therefore, I cannot agree to the blind acceptance of peaceful Islam. Peaceful Muslims exist and are presently genuine. But, would they remain peaceful if their violent brothers took power and threatened them with death in the name of Allah? This is the unsaid anxiety in everyone’s heads. It is being brushed under the carpet.

Even so, it all comes down to some very basic truths...Islam is a false religion. Allah is not the God of scripture. Mohammed is not the prophet of God. Muslims will not like these statements, any more than we like their own claims. But, we don’t go around killing them for not believing the Christian message! Nor do we repress them. Nor do we wish them harm. Nor do we stop them from speaking. 

We must live side by side, but this does not mean being silenced for the sake of peace. A ‘peace’ based on the silencing of truthful argument is not a peace at all. It is merely another form of repression. 

The New York incident was a tragedy and we must stay calm. But to capitulate to Islam, no matter how peaceful in the West, is to be repressed. This may not presently be accompanied by a Taliban-style government or its physical tortures and killings, but it is repression all the same. 

Muslims in the UK have already called for preaching against Islam to be listed as blasphemy under our own laws (originally for blasphemy against the Christian God). If this demand was ever given its head, Christians would be under the domination of Islam, just as we were under Rome’s domination until the Reformation.

Yes, we speak as frankly as ever. Do not confuse this frankness with rudeness or sheer arrogance. Our words are serious. What we predicted a while ago is coming to pass. Before we know it our freedoms will cease, abruptly, in the name of ‘peace’. The trouble with this kind of false peace is that when it has stopped fooling about, it rolls over and crushes you!

Live next door to your Islamic neighbours. Live in peace. Be courteous to them. Be friendly and genuine. Respond to their friendliness in a true, civilised, way. They are people, just like us. Therefore, also witness and do not take on board their religion. Understand their beliefs, but don’t accept them. 

Remember that there certainly are ‘similarities’ between our beliefs and theirs. This is inevitable, because Mohammed based much of his religion on the Old Testament. But, his religion is as wrong as any other cult and so his followers need the Gospel just like anyone else.

I would dearly love to tell you that things will get better as the whole world gathers together in peace to fight a common enemy. But things will not get better – they will get far worse. The last days scenario is depicted in scripture and it does not give respite to Christians. Islamic violence is Satan’s smokescreen. It covers his real intentions – to rid the world of Christian witness, whether by force or by peace. Be vigilant and know the true peace of God in your hearts.

Muslim Forum

We know already of the continuing violence against Christians (and others) in strict Islamic countries. We know broadly what the Koran has to say. We know that most Muslims in the West wish to live in peace. We know that strict Muslims claim the Koran urges violence and death upon non-Muslims. The New York tragedy was an example of this. More such atrocities have been planned and those who do them say it is the will of Allah.

It is currently fashionable and politically correct to accept Muslim assurances of peace at face value. But we cannot do that (maybe, you expect this from us anyway, I don’t know). We understand the fear people have of being targeted for expressing these views, but someone has to stand and say it.

On our Muslim Forum, which is part of our web site, we have invited people, particularly Muslim Imams and leaders, to explain the exact position of Islam on violence. At times, an Imam has accused us of offending Islam by asking certain questions, but we believe we have a right to receive answers in these days, and in the light of past Islamic violence toward Christians.

The Forum is unique and we hope it will grow significantly, providing a good source of information to Christians and others. The Forum was set up to get answers and to get Muslims to acknowledge their part in the violence, even if they are moderate. Lately, we have urged them to tell the terrorists that they are NOT Muslims after all. Nothing less will do to give at least a civil peace in the West.

We agree with Margaret Thatcher’s comments – she said that Muslim leaders are not doing enough to assure us of their true intentions, nor are they distancing themselves properly from the terrorists. This is absolutely true, as our web site illustrates.

When an Imam tells us that the terrorists are not true Muslims, we expect him to say that they are not Muslims at all. This is our view of ‘true’ charismatics, for example...any group in our churches that rejects the authentic voice of scripture and cannot preach the real Gospel, is, by definition. not Christian. So, we not only distance ourselves from true charismatics – we also say they are not Christians at all. Therefore, whatever they do in God’s name, is not godly, but of Satan. 

We require this kind of stringency from Muslims. Without it we do not believe the assurances of peace....we cannot be sure that even the most moderate Muslim will not obey a jihad if the right trigger is pressed in their hearts! This is hard-nosed and tough, but the questions must be answered. Any other approach, by governments or churches, is just a game.

It is proper for Christians to remember that no matter how moderate a Muslim is, his religion is a cult and is opposed to scripture and to the Christian Gospel. Muslims leaders in the UK previously called for a ban on all preaching that opposes false religious claims. They are now repeating this demand. The effect will be to ban Christian preaching against falsity and to allow freedom for Islam to spread unchallenged.

As soon as the New York incident occurred, I knew it would have immediate repercussions on Christian freedoms as well as on freedom of speech. Sure enough, to speak as I am in this article is tantamount to ‘inciting racial hatred’ according to some on the Muslim Council, as well as to those in government!

Our web site is trying to warn folk and also to force Muslims to tell us whether or not they will be bound by a jihad which their ‘brethren’ say is their Islamic duty. Will those Muslims in the West who call for obedience be removed from our shores? Or, will they be allowed to remain, spreading subversion and hatred? The time for action is now. We do not hate Muslims...but we are wary of Islam. It has a violent past and present – we must thrash out the truth about Islam’s intentions and what is needed from Muslims in the West, before it is too late! That is why the support of fellow believers is vital.

Web Site Study Articles

Paul Sharples, one of BTM’s co-workers, is developing our second web site. This will simply be called www.BibleTheologyMinistries.com and it will run in tandem with our established site, www.christiandoctrine.net .

The new site will concentrate on two main aspects of our work, Bible studies and courses. At the moment we can offer readers material in paper form. To date there are 72 articles, all Bible studies complete with Bible verses. Each one is based on actual Bible studies taken by Barry Napier at the Church he pastors, in Manselton, Swansea, UK. The '’Aspects of Doctrine’ ’course will also be available online (with a separate version for the deaf), plus other courses. Each course will have its deaf equivalent.

Bible studies currently available (and being added to at the rate of at least four new studies a month) include both books of Samuel, all of Ephesians, the three Epistles of John and the first four chapters of 1 Corinthians. 

If interested, please ask for the full list with titles, etc. These studies show that BTM is not just about criticising cults and heresies – our main task is to teach sound doctrine! But, if you are looking for the same old stuff, don’t read our studies, because they will challenge your way of thinking.

Thank you

Two donations came in just a short while ago, at a time when the money was most needed. One was anonymous and was from the Tyne & Wear area of the UK. Please accept our sincere thanks, whoever you are. 

For the first time ever, our funds went below zero, so the money was invaluable. We would ask folk to remember the funding position, especially as it now also has to cover the web site, which continues to attract thousands of visitors per month.

Of these a large number are unsaved, and some communicate with us, asking questions. We are also in the middle of the Muslim issue and whilst most Muslims might not wish to read our material, they are at least visiting a Christian site, which is a marvel, if they want to join the Muslim Forum on violence. 

Just after the Christian Institute was started they received an anonymous gift of £20,000 and this allowed full time workers to be used. Please pray that such a blessing will be given to BTM, if it is God’s will!  Donations can now be made by credit card at www.christiandoctrine.net.

A Wolfe in Sheep’s Clothing!

Lord Wolfe, supposedly in office to protect society, has declared that upholding human rights is more important than fighting terrorism. With views like that, he might as well gun us all down in the street!

BTM Publications

O-00109 ‘Is Belief in God Rational?’ Offered again – a newspaper in the USA has published this one in its columns. A-00159 ‘Unity’, 7 pages . Do you know what ‘antichrist’ really is? See A-00160 ‘Antichrist’. What about a rewrite of an earlier Outline, A-00161 ‘Is There a Muslim Threat’? A necessary article.
