An Open Letter To James "M" And Those Of Like Mind

Preaching The Grace Of God
From The King James Bible Dispensationally Delivered

Berean Bible Church, Edgewater, Florida – Pastor Doug Dodd s.b.g. - Tuesday, October 02, 2001

Dear James,

It is possible that I have misjudged you. Perhaps I do not fully understand your position. I have made errors in judgment before and no doubt will do so again.

However, I find myself in a bit of a quandary because you imply that you are a Christian on one hand and therefore a brother but a defender of Calvinistic doctrine on the other which would make you an enemy of the cross of Christ and by extension an enemy of mine.

I am no friend to the enemy. You can claim Christian fellowship all you want to but as long as you defend Calvinism you will be marked as a heretic and placed on the list with the defenders of Mormonism, the church of Christ (Campbellism), Jehovah Witnesses (Russelites), Seventh Day Adventism, the Roman Catholic Church and all others that make of none effect the gospel of the grace of God.

I stand against Calvinism. I stand against those who teach Calvinism. I am not your friend and neither do I desire to be unless you repent (change your mind) about your defense of Calvinism and end the confusion you cause true believers by the twisting of the truth.

You may contact whoever you wish to contact and you may report to all that you wish to report to for those who know me will not desert me and even is they should I have NO FEAR in meeting you or any of your kind at the judgment seat of Christ, should you happen to make it there which I sincerely doubt.

I believe the following verses apply to you and those like you. These verses are taken from the inspired and preserved word of the living God, found in the King James Version which you and your coconspirators revile!

2 Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

If I am wrong then I am sorry and I apologize, but I am not wrong because …

Calvinism still….

Makes God the author of sin.

Cheapens the grace of God by limiting it's scope.

Populates the planet with a majority population of un-redeemable un-men like creatures who were created by God as "vessels of wrath fitted to destruction."

Denigrates faith by teaching that regeneration precedes faith.

Falsely teaches that faith is the gift of God rather than salvation.

Takes what should be the RESULT of salvation and makes it the REQUIREMENT of salvation.

Denies the truth of the two natures in a believer.

Denies a literal 1000 year millennial reign of Christ on earth.

Denies the truth of generic nature of the word "church" (requiring a modifier) and by doing so falsely identifies Israel and the Body of Christ as being the same church.

Denies the principle division in scripture of Prophecy vs., Mystery

Makes no distinction between Israel (little flock) and the Body of Christ.

Attempts to appropriate Israel's covenants for the Body of Christ.

Makes no distinction between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of the Grace of God.

Makes no distinction between the Apostleship of Peter and that of Paul.

And you, dear sir, defend these teachings and I stand, unapologetically, against this confusion and error.

So James, write all the letters you want, send all the emails you wish, contact whoever you desire it will not change my mind. The only thing that will change my mind about you and those of like mind is a turning from error to the truth.

Going forward as of this date any correspondence from you or your conspirators will be sent to where the sun does not shine UNLESS the subject line reads, "I Repent of Calvinism".

The door is open to you. If you have been blinded by Satan we stand with you and for you "In Christ". If you do not know for sure where you will spend eternity then we would consider it an honor to point you to the one who paid for all sin, for all men, for all time.

Maranatha
