ELIJAH GIBBS' HERESIES
Heretical Articles Nos. 515 to 528
CHAPTER NINE
Pastor Elijah gave a first answer to my question on the program of
God for the revealing of the seventh seal/seven thunders. After it was exposed
as heresy on E.O.D.H. Book 12, he gave another answer that is contrary to the
first answer. His main heresy is that the 7th seal is Bro. Branham's message,
and a seal was allotted to each church age messenger. I requested clarification,
by asking this question:
E.O.D.H. Question : "Please outline
the message of each age to the messenger in relation to each seal, especially
the previous six messengers before Brother Branham. I will be happy to have this
outlined before giving attention to your manuscript." After a long delay, I
wrote as follows:
Dear Brother and Pastor Elijah Gibbs, it seems to me that you are finding
much difficulty in answering my question and you are very careful in how
you reply to it because it's the foundation or basis upon which your objections
stands and we do not want to forget your previous question about asking me if I
think that I am beating the snakes in the grass {words to that effect}. So
please do something about your projections which you so valiantly sent to me
after many deliberations. Your whole ministry and teachings are built upon this
doctrine that you have projected, that the seventh seal is the message of
Brother Branham, thus it was revealed. I think it's nonsensical to the
core. That will mean that the prophet was teaching the seventh seal before the
seal book was opened. I am saying that it's impossible. However I am politely
demanding of you to answer my question, as it is the foundation of your very
salvation, with those who listen to you. Wishing you all the best for 2005.
Peace be unto you".
Elijah responded as follows: "I've read your two questions and have
considered them diligently. Before I give you my answers I just want to comment
on your method of response. I feel it is immature on your part to not read the
entire letter I sent you. Instead of throwing more questions at me you could
have had the decency to read my answer to your original question, which was
concerning "God's program for the revealing of the Seventh Seal." It looks to me
that you are afraid of looking at all of the evidence I sent you concerning this
subject so you are attempting to sidetrack the issue. Nevertheless, I'll go
along with you this time and answer your questions."
E.O.D.H. RESPONSE
From the above, I perceive that you were stirred up by the strong demand, to
answer my question and you summed up my method of response as immature and
indecent, accused me for not reading your letter, and side tracking the
issue. I respond to such accusations as follows: I did read your entire
letter many times. No, I dodge no issue and that is clear from my E.O.D.H Books
1-12. I have addressed every issue at the cost of friendship, brotherly love,
and even bitter hatred from so-called brethren.
When I asked my simple question to you on the program of God, you wrote and
asked me to clarify and rephrase my question. I refused to rephrase it and gave
you clarifications on that question.
By your principle of judgment, are you saying that your actions then
were immature, indecent and dodging the issue or was that good for you alone and
not me? I simply did what you done; ask for clarification before I respond to
your 13 page, second reply on "the program of God".
Thus your accusations are out of the spirit and can be better applied to
you, since you kept me several months going around in a circle on the simple
subject of the seventh seal/seven thunders and its program
Again, at the first time of your writing, you presented seven
questions to me, which you claimed went out to many ministers and the
message world, of which you indicated that none could answer. I have not heard
from any minister around the world of such magnificent 7 questions. I wonder if
it really went in the manner that you claimed or was it a secret attack with a
hidden agenda against E.O.D.H. books and the ministry in Connecticut USA.
I will let the Lord be the judge.
I highlighted the unscriptural parts of your seven questions in a
clear manner without accusing you. Instead of acknowledging your errors,
you dumped several questions upon me again, which I also answered without a
murmur or complaint of your immaturity and indecency. According to your
principles of carnal judgment, would you admit that you are immature, indecent
and above all dodged the issue; by covering such exposition and saying that you
need to rephrase your questions. Where are they? I never heard about them
anymore. Is such attitude Christian-like, decent, mature, honest, or is it
dishonest, hypocritical and deceitful?
Now concerning your answer to my question on "the program of God for the
seventh seal/seven thunders", you behave as if your last response was the
only answer that you supplied to my question.
But you previously sent me a reply containing approximately 27 or more
pages. Such reply I exposed as heretical, off the message and the written Word
of God. You wrote in a manner that you were positive about your answer to my
question. I gave you enough time to respond to the exposition of your many
heresies, which you employed to answer my question. I invited you to endorse
your interpretation before I publish book 12 E.O.D.H. Were you waiting to see my
book published on my website to get some clues to respond in the manner that you
now respond? Let the Lord be the judge. I quote your response.
Elijah's First Response: "Do you sometimes get the feeling you are
fighting the snakes in the grass through your books? Do you feel this is the
best way to "contend for the faith?" Br. Elijah."
Is the above mature, decent, and addressing the issue or dodging it? After
many months, you gave me a heretical explanation. I will address this
separately.
After the publication of my E.O.D.H. Book 12, you found it fit to answer to
my exposition in the feeblest manner by additional heresies and even denying the
integrity of your first reply. This has confirmed my exposition of your 7th
seal/7 thunder program to be heretical, immature, and therefore antichrist in
its content.
I quote your letter: "Dear Br. Dalton, Thank you for your reply.
Though I've shared my thoughts with you on "the program of God for the revealing
of the Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders" I now feel that I had limited myself to the
quote you had originally presented. The quote I am referring to is Q & A on
the Seals: 458-4 thru 461-1. In this quote Brother Branham mentions "the real
program of God." As I looked at this quote again it dawned on me that the
Prophet may not have been speaking about a program "for the revealing of the
Seventh Seal/Seven Thunders" at all.
First of all, the sentence where the phrase "program of God" appears is
incomplete and therefore open to several interpretations. He said, "Don't try
to--to make any... You see, you do, you only make it a mysterious something and
mess the real program of God up." I assumed as you did that Brother
Branham was speaking about God's program for how the Seventh Seal would be
revealed. But as I looked at this quote more closely I realized that there is no
way for us to say emphatically that this is what he meant. He could have been
speaking about an entirely different kind of program altogether".
E.O.D.H. Response: A matured
brother and pastor will repent when his erroneous projections are exposed as
heresy and would not formulate more damnable heresies to justify a heresy. The
prophet was emphatically speaking about a program for the 7th seal/7 thunders. I
have not "assumed" it as you accused. Brother Branham could not be
speaking of another program. He was speaking on the subject of the 7th seal/7
thunders and nothing more. That is why you cannot say what other program he was
speaking about. God does nothing without a program. It's heresy to suggest that
the 7th seal is left without an ordained program. You are much-confused
sir!
I don't establish a bible doctrine one day and change it tomorrow. That
never happened in the several decades of my preaching. It's amazing how quickly
you denied your own teaching! Yes all by E.O.D.H., but you are ashamed to admit
the truth, and make silly excuses. A true servant of God would
not handle the word of God deceitfully. {2 Corinthians 4:1-3}.In the first
place I should not have responded to your letter since you had already given
your answer to my question. I wanted to be kind to you, and I sought
clarification, since you quoted Brother Branham's relating the seven seals to
the seven Church Ages. The rest of your letter was repetitious, immature,
indecent and full of heresies, many of which I addressed in my reply to you and
documented in book 12. However, you are determined to justify them in an attempt
to oppose E.O.D.H. I now take the liberty to further answer in a brief manner,
your heresies.
ELIJAH GIBBS' HERESIES
Heretical Article No. 515: "Unless God has
made you the apostle or overseer of all of the churches in the Message I
don't see how you feel you have the right to publicly correct all of the
ministers who you feel are in error…So I do believe that you have the right to
correct any wayward minister in your church or a church that God has made you
responsible for, but not a pastor or preacher of a church outside your
jurisdiction. ROMANS 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not
where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's
foundation:"
E.O.D.H. Answer: Pastor Elijah
later called his above statements an accusation when I paraphrased it. I will
address this heresy by using his own words. He established that I should only
correct ministers under my jurisdiction, in the churches that I am
responsible for and the only way I could correct ministers outside of such
churches, is if God has made me the apostle or overseer of all message
churches. He has no scriptures to support this heresy, nor a single quotation of
the prophet to limit me in exposing heresies. He has perverted Paul's statement
{Romans 15:20}. Paul is not saying what Elijah is saying. He is speaking of
evangelism and striving not to preach the gospel to people who have already
heard it from other ministers. Paul is not forbidding a minister from exposing
heresies on the field, since Paul himself did so where other ministers made
converts and established churches.
Therefore this is a damnable heresy and perversion of scriptures, which
attempts to stop E.O.D.H. from going into all the world to bring further
deliverance to those that are bound by heresies and heretics. This is one of the
biggest heresies he has invented in a desperate effort to stop the
exposition of his own heresies. This is Satanic, unscriptural and in
contradiction to the message of the prophet. Elijah himself stands in doubt of
this heresy and is breaking his own policy by his threats to expose me. Quote:
"I will be forced to expose all of your errors and false "secret" teachings".
"You wrote: "When you try to expose my secret beliefs, be sure you
have the proof, or I will expose you as a big liar throughout the world!" "What
makes you think you are not going to be exposed as a big liar "throughout the
world?"
This is gross contradiction, which verifies that he does not honor his own
heresy. I am not intimidated by his threats. Poisonous hatred to Pastor Lambert
and the church of God at CT USA has caused many to fabricate lies and even
martyred him. I am hated even in a greater way for the truth.
The inventor of this heresy plans to get into exposition work. I
challenged him to do so, as I am sure that he can only speak of popular
rumors, and lies invented by the enemies of the cross.
Pastor Elijah is smart, highly intellectual, and an elite of the message,
but is amazingly ignorant of the fact that the jurisdiction of a preacher
of righteousness is the whole world and to all nations unless specified
otherwise by the Lord, like in the case of Paul to the Gentiles and Peter to the
Jews. He is commissioned to denounce sin and error whenever and wherever it is
found and teach the truth by his ministry. When the Lord commissioned his
apostles, and preachers of righteousness, he said as follows:
"And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature". {Mark 16:15} "Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen". {Matthew
28:18-19}.
They went into all the world exposing and condemning Roman and Babylonian
Idolatry, Religions, doctrines, heresies and Sin. That is the liberty of all God
called servants of God. It's their commission likewise.
He has no regard for the commission that was given by Paul to
Timothy, which applies to all ministers, because it is the fulfillment of
prophecy for today and history has repeated itself at the departure of our
messenger who fought a good fight? False prophets have arisen; message believers
are not enduring sound doctrine. Therefore we need ministers today like Timothy.
The Lord used this scripture to commission Malachi 4:5-6. Therefore it is not
historical or dedicated to Timothy.
" I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus
Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his
kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they
heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away
[their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou
in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full
proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of
my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith:"{ II Timothy 4:1-7}.
Be informed thou mighty trump of God, that Jude was not an
apostle of the whole world. He was just a servant of God and wrote an
epistle of E.O.D.H, which exposed ministers of the message, false teachers,
false prophets, idiots and heretics by some of the most forceful words in
the New Testament. It sure does not resemble the "love gospel" that you cater to
and which was invented to protect heretics and heresies around the message. His
letter was addressed to the whole body of Christ, the sanctified ones-saints.
"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to
them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus
Christ, [and] called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should
earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."
{Jude 1:1-4}.
Timothy and Titus were commissioned by Apostle Paul to rebuke heretics, stop
their mouths and even ordain elders to do the same. No area was
designated to them, as you erroneously stated. They were Paul's traveling
companions. Whatever damnable heresies were exposed in whatever area by the
ministers of the early church, went into all the world by the written word and
continued to expose heretics and heresies, even up to the present time. So it is
dumb to speak such heresies that a minister, apostle, or servant of God,
should correct only ministers under his jurisdiction. What is my jurisdiction?
Has God appointed you your jurisdiction? Tell the world about it. What
area has he given to you by revelation and what is the proof of such ministry? I
guess you assume that I am out of place when I come to Connecticut, USA, if you
think it is your jurisdiction, even like your former pastor, Coleman, and the
father of the false thunders boasts about New York being under his
jurisdiction. Did you borrow this idea from him?
I perceive that, by your ignorance of this subject, you are mixing church
order with other office gifts of the five-fold ministry. A pastor needs
permission to correct certain items of personal matters, where another
God sent pastor is the head of that church. You have grouped all the other
offices into that category to make this damnable heresy. Any office gift,
including "pastor", is at liberty to expose heresies and heretics worldwide by
preaching, from his pulpit or writing. The prophet, while doing the work of an
evangelist, corrected errors, heresies, false teachers and church members
from many pastors' pulpits. Later he authorized the writing of the Church Ages
book that went into all the world.
Be it known unto you, that other offices of the five-fold ministry have the
jurisdiction of the whole world. Let it be fully established that neither you
nor any other heretic cannot stop E.O.D.H. and its ministers around the
world. It will continue to prevail unto the next outpouring of the Holy
Spirit and the rapture. Amen.
Heretical Article No. 516: "From the early
church ages until now, the main evidence of an antichrist or a heretic is one
who is busy trying to gather sheep from other shepherds' flocks, whether
through false doctrine or some other means. This is what the word
"heresy" actually means in the Bible. Brother Branham deals harshly with
proselytizing. I do not feel that I should be classified as a heretic…I
have never attempted to cause division within the Message World, for this is the
true biblical meaning of the word "heresy," which you so freely use. 1
Corinthians 11:18-19."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Pastor Elijah in
his desperate and angry effort not to be classified as a heretic has twisted out
of context the meaning of the word "heretic" and "heresy". He has embarrassed an
ignorant and an unlearnt fisherman of the Caribbean and a citizen of a
third world country by the definitions of the word "heretic" and "heresy". He
has also perverted 1 Corinthians 11:18-19 to prove his heresies.
His definition for the word "heretic" is proselyting Sheep from another
Shepherd's flock, and "heresy" to mean "division". These are heresies! The word
"heretic" means "one holding opinions, contrary to orthodox
faith-heretical". He is one who formulates heresies from the written word and
the message of the hour. "Heresy" means "heretical doctrine,
dissent, deviation, unorthodoxy, profanation, sacrilege, heterodoxy".
Elijah is saying it means division. Nonsense! Here is the scripture,
which he perverted to excuse himself as a heretic preaching heresies.
"For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear
that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be
also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest
among you". {I Corinthians 11:18-19}
He highlighted the word divisions and claimed that he is not preaching
heresies and bringing divisions, since he is not causing divisions he is not
preaching heresies. He failed to observe that Paul divided the word division
from heresies and said, "For there must be also heresies among you".
Pastor Elijah, divisions are different from heresies. Heresies cause divisions
because they are false teachings and antichrist doctrines that are contrary to
the truth. You have belittled yourself. Face the facts. Be sincere and honest
before God and men. You have perverted the word of God because of your pride and
arrogance. That is a heresy and that makes you a heretic, and it is impossible
to classify you as anything else but a heretic brother and pastor. I urge you to
repent instead of crying out, that you are falsely accused, based upon your
definition of the word "heresy".
Here is the scriptural verification by the apostle Peter, itemizing what is
a heresy, and who brings them: false prophets and false teachers.
"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall
be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift
destruction." {2 Peter 2:1}.
Heretical Article No. 517: "If you were
really called of God to attack heresy (division) you wouldn't be doing so by
causing more division. Also, you would realize that those heresies within the
ranks of the Message are allowed by God ("for there must be also heresies
among you…") and you would preach against the spirit of heresy (I John 4:3)
rather than publicly humiliating other ministers by calling out their names."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Elijah stands in
doubt of my calling of God to attack heresies, which he interpreted as
'division' and accused me of causing divisions. Where have I done that,
sir? My work has brought unity among ministers of the message and
children of God worldwide. Thousands of letters testified of this great blessing
amongst message believers. I am sure that the above exposition of your heresies
is sufficient to prove to you my call of God. You are thoroughly exposed. It
only takes a true gift of God to catch the twist that Satan
injects into the word of God. Eve lacked this revelation in the beginning and
was deceived of Satan. That's the function of E.O.D.H and its ministers: to
catch the twist that false anointed ones have injected into the word of God and
expose them to end time Eve. Without such a revelation no minister can lead his
congregation to victory, to another outpouring of the Spirit and rapture.
Elijah has spoken well that such heresies are allowed of God in the church
and the ranks of the message, but has again perverted the word of God to his
fancy in saying that "if I am called I will preach against the spirit of heresy
and not humiliate other ministers". This is nonsensical and a lack of
common sense. The spirit of heresy is the devil, antichrist and spirit of error.
How can a man of God preach only against a spirit and not expose false doctrine
and false prophets? That's ignorant. Jesus and all the apostles exposed false
teachings, saying what they are and who teaches them. They just did not go about
preaching against the devil, antichrist spirit etc. Jesus pointed out who was
the antichrist on the supper table by giving him a morsel of bread. This method
that Elijah is introducing to me is sissified and belongs to the so-called "love
gospel". He is using the words of Paul: "There must also be heresies among
you..." with the twisted meaning of not preaching against it, because it
is placed in the church by God. With his twist on the word of God, he has closed
his eyes to the fact that the verse also said that they which are approved may
be made manifest among you, which simply means that the elect of God will hate
the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which God also hates (Rev. 2:6), and contend
against heretics and heresies (Jude 1), to prove that they were predestinated
before the foundation of the world unto eternal life.
Heretical Article No. 518 to 521: "You claim that
the Apostle Paul publicly criticized other ministers by calling out their
names. This is just not true. He never mentions the names of other ministers in
any of his epistles to the churches, which he knew would be read among
many congregations as a circular letter. When he does mention the names of
Hymenaeus, Alexander, and Philetus he does so in a personal letter to Timothy
who was Paul's assistant and was responsible for the area where these men were
trying to create a following. Paul felt it necessary to warn Timothy of these
men."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Elijah has
combined several heresies in the above paragraph. I will itemize and answer them
separately.
Heretical Article No. 518: "Paul never
publicly criticized ministers by calling out their names."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Yes, Paul
publicly criticized ministers and one of the greatest was criticized by him.
For Elijah's information, he was Apostle Peter, one of the greatest
apostles to the Jews and one who was given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven by
the Lord Jesus himself. Pastor Elijah do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the
message. He quotes the prophet but without understanding. He is a typical
computer preacher.
"But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the
face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he
did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated
himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews
dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away
with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly
according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If
thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the
Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" (Galatians
2:1, 11, 14).
Apostle Paul listed the names of ministers and even an idolater from other
places in his EODH epistle with critical remarks. Elijah brands such
expositions as blacklisting ministers. He automatically condemned the actions of
Paul.
"This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from
me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes." (II Timothy 1:15)
"For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is
departed unto Thessalonica; II Timothy 4:10 "Alexander the coppersmith did me
much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:" (II Timothy
4:14)
Heretical Article No. 519: "Paul never
mentioned the names of ministers in his epistles to the churches."
E.O.D.H. Answer: Apostle Paul
wrote to the Galatians and mentioned the incident of him correcting
Apostle Peter publicly before the brethren. This epistle was read before
the whole church. Christians and heathens are reading it up to the present time.
Billions of people for 1900 years read about this incident. Peter indirectly
supported a heresy that Paul was trying to expose. Peter was causing segregation
between Jewish and Gentile brethren, while Paul was exposing the heresy of
Christians practicing certain items of the Law. They were influenced by false
brethren who Paul criticized for their heresies. Therefore your statement is
damnable heresy and a lie of Satan.
"And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who
came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that
they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not
for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you."(Galatians
2:4-5)
"But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because
he was to be blamed…insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their
dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the
truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all…compellest thou the
Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" (Galatians
2:11-14)
Heretical Article No.520: "Paul only
mentioned the names of Hymenaeus, Alexander and Philetus in a personal letter to
Timothy."
E.O.D.H. Answer: In this heresy
sir, you have limited the exposition of certain ministers: Hymenaeus, Alexander,
and Philetus, and their names called by Paul for only Timothy. You cannot
explain away the scriptures. By that heresy you are obliged to limit
everything that Paul wrote to Timothy and that area of the world. You sound
more like the so-called Pentecostals that say when Paul forbid women from
preaching that was for the Corinthians. I guess you will have to say that 1
Timothy 2:9-12 is limited for Timothy and his church. That makes the gospel
historical and ineffective against false teachers and heresies.
Be it known to you Sir Elijah that the epistles written by Paul to Timothy
are in our bible and were made public for almost 2000 years. You do not know
better than God. He allowed those names to be exposed to billions of
people for the past centuries of time. If my Exposition books were written in
apostolic times, they would live on to this present time, bearing the names of
heretics identified with their heresies. Paul also lists the names of other
ministers, Phygellus and Hermogenes from Asia-II Timothy 1:15 and Demas II
Timothy 4:10- with criticism. Not as Elijah has ignorantly stated about the
three ministers. I excuse his ignorance if he did not willfully evade those
scriptures and casually wrote about the three ministers, saying that Paul warned
Timothy about them. That's wrong. Paul reported to Timothy concerning those
heretics and their heresies and the actions he took against them. I hope this
stop Elijah's mouth, as I am commanded by Paul to stop the mouths of all
heretics.
Elijah is excusing such heretics, insomuch that he did not mention their
heresies and the measures that Paul took in correcting them. They were preaching
a resurrection heresy, saying that it was already past and overthrew the
faith of some message believers. Paul delivered them unto Satan for the
destruction of the flesh. It was not merely alerting Timothy of these men
because they were trying to have a following, as erroneously stated by Elijah,
but they erred, deceived people by their heresies, had a following, were dealt
with and also were exposed on Paul's epistle to Timothy. This exposes the heresy
of Elijah. Maybe he is not familiar with the following scriptures.
"For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they
of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake." (Titus
1:10-11)
"Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan,
that they may learn not to blaspheme." (1Timothy 1:20, 1 Corinthians 5)
"But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus
and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some." (II Timothy
2:16-18)
Heretical Article No. 521: "Timothy was
responsible for that area."
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is a heresy
and a lie of the devil. Neither Timothy nor Titus was responsible for any
particular area. They had no permanent jurisdiction. They were left in certain
areas to ordain elders and set the church in order. They were Paul's
traveling companions and they were to join Paul at other locations, after
exhorting, preaching and rebuking sharply those that were guilty of heresies in
many areas and churches. Thus your nonsensical doctrine that only a minister who
is responsible for certain churches can rebuke another minister, is foolish and
unscriptural.
{Matthew 18:15-18} Jesus said if thy brother sin rebuke him. He did
not specify that such should be in a particular church among a particular group.
It makes me wonder which bible pastor Elijah is reading. The sheep of God under
his care could be very confused. May the Lord bring deliverance to them shortly,
even by this exposition.
Heretical Article No. 522: "Neither Jesus,
Stephen, John, Paul, nor Br. Branham called names or purposely attempted to
bring public humiliation on other ministers. Therefore your actions are
unscriptural to the core! You know this, I know this and the whole Message world
now knows this!"
E.O.D.H. Answer: Elijah is
claiming that the servants of God, including Brother Branham never called names,
but he is deceitfully hiding his claims in the phrase, "…attempted to
bring public humiliation." I can see that he is striving very hard not to
have his name identified with his heresies, so he puts in the word
"humiliation". He is telling lies. He is trying to propagate the idea that
E.O.D.H is trying to humiliate fellow ministers and also himself, but that
cannot help this deluded pastor. Heretics must be exposed. Jesus identified
heretics with their heresies and the antichrist spirit. If he has spoken the
truth in all his projections, it should not be humiliation to him, but
glorious and praise worthy.
The subjects of calling names and doing so to bring humiliation are two
different subjects. Neither Jesus, the apostles nor Brother Branham had
any such purpose in calling names. The purpose was to identify heretics with
their heresies and the antichrist spirit. E.O.D.H. has published several names
to accomplish the same task, to identify heretics with their heresies. Therefore
my actions are scriptural to the core, and to the benefit of the elect of God!
Therefore, I don't know that my actions are unscriptural, and the whole message
world doesn't know this. Thousands of message believers worldwide have highly
commended EODH, its ministers, the truth they proclaim and their boldness of
speech. Only you presume this, as the inventor of this heresy.
A computer Preacher cannot understand much more than the letter of the word
and how to punch quotes to match with quotes but has no revelation. Elijah
desires to hear Jesus say, "Tom- Dick or Harry, or at least, "John Doe". Thus he
is ignorant of Jesus identifying Peter with a heresy, saying, "Get thee behind
me Satan." By Peter's comment, Satan was trying to interrupt God's redemption
plan.
Every man who ventures to sour the message and plan of redemption must be
exposed in like manner. If Peter, a son of God was rebuked openly before all the
other apostles, who are those incarnated devils and false anointed ones who
Elijah is trying to defend by saying their names should not be listed on
EODH with their heresies? His actions prove that he supports the same heresies
and they are his real brothers.
Jesus exposed Judas at the supper table by giving him a sop. All the
apostles knew Judas by name. There was no need to call Judas by name. The fact
is that he was identified with his heretical plans of betrayal. Any person who
perverts the gospel message of Malachi 4:5-6 has betrayed Christ and crucified
him a second time. They must be exposed publicly by the sup. E.O.D.H. has given
the sop to modern Judases and Elijah is angry, raging, and crying. None of the
apostles manifested that sissified attitude against Jesus when he exposed Judas
as the devil.
All these expositions were written in the gospel and millions of preachers
have preached them over and over for the past 1900 years. When they do so, they
are not blacklisting ministers, but simply identifying the spirit of Anti-christ
and how it anointed both the elect and non-elect. Thus Elijah's accusation of
EODH blacklisting ministers is nonsensical.
ELIJAH QUOTED W.M.B. AS FOLLOWS:
Heretical Article No. 523: "Let me repeat
what your prophet said in case you missed it, "I NEVER CALL A
PERSON'S NAME!" So when did it become "proper" to publicly criticize a minister
that seems to be in error?
E.O.D.H. Answer: It became proper
to criticize ministers' names when Jesus identified Judas as the betrayer, and
told Peter: "Get thee behind me Satan." When John the Baptist called the
Pharisees: "O generation of vipers."
When Apostle Paul called names and the prophet called the names of Oral
Roberts and Billy Graham. Also Elvis the cat; saying he would not
apologize.
Heretical Article No. 524: I've searched
the Message through and have not found one time that Br. Branham never called
out a minister's name identifying him as a "heretic" or "antichrist" or any
other type of harsh criticism.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Be it known unto
you Sir that your prophet WMB identified the pope of Rome in multiple
statements of the seals, the church ages and many other messages. He mentioned
the name of Elvis Presley and called him a cat, Ricky and called him a rat and
identified Pat Boone and others as modern Judases. He also identified Oral
Roberts and Billy Graham as blinding angels to Sodom. You must be more honest in
your war against E.O.D.H. I don't fight hypocritically, nor do I handle the word
of God deceitfully as you are doing.
Heretical Article No. 525: Paul's ministry
was not to call all other sects heresy either.
E.O.D.H. Answer: Paul did not
have to call all other sects "heresy". A heresy is false doctrine. A
heretic is one who preaches heresy. Paul condemned all heresies and heretics and
made them accursed. That took care of all sects, religions, and organizations.
He also said to reject a heretic.
"A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject"
{Titus 3:10}
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you
than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said
before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than
that ye have received, let him be accursed." {Galatians
1:8}.
Heretical Article No. 526: This
name-calling was being done by the ones who were actually in error.
E.O.D.H. Answer: According to
your heresy, Jesus, John the Baptist, Paul, John the Divine and the prophet were
in error, because they all called names. It's blasphemy to say so. Repent!
John called names and Brother Branham called names. It is amazing that
Elijah searched the scriptures and the message and found that the prophets and
WMB never called names and have supplied several quotations to try to prove that
the prophet did not believe in calling names of brothers, ministers and other
persons. However, because of his heretical view and love gospel, he has turned a
blind eye to the other quotations, where brother Branham called names saying
that he would not apologize for doing so. E.O.D.H also will not
apologize. It is sad that Elijah cannot differentiate a heretic and Judas from a
sincere brother and minister that is carrying the message. He has lumped
everything together and his brotherly love will even excuse the pope.
Heretical Article No. 527: Perhaps you feel
it is your responsibility to deliver the sheep of another flock from their
erring shepherd! As noble as this may seem this activity could only be motivated
by the very spirit of error."
E.O.D.H. Answer: According to
your heresy, Jesus, John the Baptist, Paul, Stephen the Deacon, Jude, the
servant of God, Peter and the prophet were motivated by the spirit of error,
since they all, by their respective offices, delivered the sheep from their
erring and heretical shepherds. It's scripturally ignorant and blasphemy to say
so. Thus E.O.D.H. is noble, her ministers are warriors and responsible for
delivering God's sheep from your hand.
E.O.D.H QUOTED W.M.B. AS FOLLOWS:
Quote W.M.B.: E-30 "Even a lot of preachers trying to
justify this Elvis Presley, which is nothing in the world but a modern Judas
Iscariot. Judas Iscariot got thirty pieces of silver. Elvis Presley got a
million dollars and a fleet of Cadillacs, but he sold out. He was a
Pentecostal believer and sold out his birthright to become a rock-and-roll,
and is inspired of the devil. And I don't pull any punches on it. No, sir! And
a modern Judas Iscariot...And then even the ministers trying to upbuild that
kind of a thing. And Elvis Presley saying, "Yeah, I trust God for all my
success." How would a living, holy God ever give success to vulgarity. And a
devil demonized thing that's absolutely been one of the greatest hindrances
that this nation has ever been seen, is a guy like Elvis Presley, who sent
millions of souls to hell by his old dirty, filthy rock-and-roll stuff.
Certainly, I don't have any apology at all. If you can believe me to be God's
prophet, remember there is a incarnated devil, absolutely." (Corinthians Book
Of Correction 57-0414).
Quote: E-30 "The thirty pieces of Judas' betrayal,
silver beaten on the platter will be a pleasure up to side of Elvis Presley's
doomed time on that morning. For Judas did it because that it was to fulfill a
Scripture to redeem man. But Elvis Presley perverted the right thing, when he
was a Christian, and sold his birthrights to a million souls in hell." (Life
57-0602).
Quote: E-62 "And these people telling you that Elvis
Presley (a nothing against the man, only he's a sinner, but I want to say
something.), saying, "He's religious, because he sings songs on the..."
Brother, that... I... Here's my conception. There's one difference between
Judas Iscariot and Elvis Presley. He was a Pentecostal boy. Judas Iscariot got
thirty pieces of silver; Elvis Presley got a fleet of Cadillacs and a million
dollars. They both sold out. That's exactly right. The biggest deceiver I know
of... Pat Boone and all the rest of them. Exactly right. Arthur Godfrey and
Pea Picker Ernie, anybody, if you listen to such stuff as that, it shows that
the devil's satisfying that...?... of Hollywood…..And you women, instead of
having your prayer meetings, on the morning, the ten o'clock prayer meeting,
you stay home to watch some vulgarity stuff, and dirty jokes, like that Arthur
Godfrey or Elvis Presley, some scavenger feeding on the carcass of their own
people. Only one difference 'tween Elvis Presley and Judas Iscariot. Judas got
thirty pieces of silver, and Elvis got a million dollars and a fleet of
Cadillacs." (Thirsting for life 58-0611).
Quote: 155 "I got the word evil here; I got Elvis wrote
down instead of evil; it's all about the same. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. The word
"Elvis" means "a cat," and the word "Ricky" means "a rat." When you say
"little Ricky" you mean "little rat." What you call him, that's what he is.
Your kid's named that, change it quickly for the sake of the Gospel. Don't
name a kid... You never heard such names as that back in the Bible or in any
other age. It's the age--name for this age. There ever was perverted rats and
cats, it's there." (God Of This Evil Age 65-0801m).
Quote: E-104 "One day, just before the end time,
Abraham, the elected church, was called out. It didn't go in Sodom; it was out
of Sodom. Now, watch the three classes of people, always. There's always a
believer, a make-believer, and a unbeliever amongst the people. That's
Abraham, Lot, and the Sodomites. Now, watch. Each had a message. There was
three Angels came to Abraham, the church elected. Two of them went down in
Sodom and brought out Lot and his wife and daughters. She turned around.
Sodomites burned….Two of them--a modern Billy Graham and an Oral Roberts, his
messages went down into Sodom, preaching the Word, blinding them with the
Word. To disbelieve the Word, you are blind. The preaching of the Gospel
blinds the unbeliever. And that's what Billy Graham and those great
evangelists are doing. Blinding." (Putting On The Whole Armour Of God
62-0607).
Quote: E-85 "Now, there come up three Angels, and One of
them was God. So He set down with Abraham; and two of them went down in Sodom
and preached the Gospel to them. Is that right? A modern Billy Graham to the
church normal that's in Sodom, great men like that, Oral Roberts, going down
there and performing... They didn't do much of a miracle, not too many. They
did something, smiting them blind. Preaching the Gospel smites... There they
was in that denominational realm, went down there preaching the Gospel. Billy
Graham that great, mighty evangelist to the Baptists and Presbyterian. Oh, he
lays the line down to them. But you see, he preached to them, calling them
out....Now, the Angels that went down in there, went down and preached the
Gospel, and tell them to, "Get out of that mess down there. Come out from
among it." And isn't that what Billy Graham, and them great--Jack Schuller,
and them guys today, calling out a Babylon worldwide? But the Angel that
stayed with the church that never was in Sodom, watch what He did for a sign".
(Sir We Would See Jesus 62-0724).
Quote: 265-6 {273} "Same rider now... This first stage,
he was innocent; and second (Now, if you went a little bit higher, a little
more than that, in the second stage the Bible said he'd be given a crown, and
they crowned a man, a superman. See?), crowned him. And then the Bible didn't
call him a pope. The Bible called him a false prophet. Why? Yeah. Of course he
must be a false prophet by his antichrist spirit that taught antichrist
against the original Word. 'Cause if you taught against the original Word, it
was antichrist, it was--and the Word is God (See?), Christ. All right." (Third
Seal The 63-0320).
Quote: 173 "But Augustine sanctioned it. If you want to
refer to this in Schmucker's, the writing of Schmucker, S-c-h-m-u-c-k-e-r-s,
Schmucker's "The Glorious Reformation," here's what it stated, that "From the
time that Saint Augustine of Hippo passed this verdict to the Catholic church,
it throwed the doors wide open for them to kill anything they wanted to then,
that denied that pagan church. And from the time of Saint Augustine, about
three hundred years after Christ until 1850, the great massacre of Ireland,
there was eighty-six million Protestants killed by the Catholic Church. That's
on the Roman martyrology: Eighty-six million." Now, fuss with the historian,
he's the one that said that. I'm just repeating his word. "Everyone that
disagreed with the Catholic dogma..." (Christianity Versus Idolatry
61-1217).
From Genesis to Revelation, there is not a single scripture, which
forbids prophets or other servants of God from calling the names of wrong
doers. Nowhere in the message did Brother Branham forbid a servant of God from
calling names and rebuking a wrongdoer, heretic or false prophet. Being a
prophet, he could not do so, because it is scriptural.
However Brother Branham adopted a certain policy not to freely call the
names of ministers, though he knew that they were wrong. On the other hand we
noticed that he did so on many occasions and said he would not apologize. The
prophet had many reasons for adopting such policies, which wishy-washy boneless
preachers, jellyfish ministers, established in the love gospel, have made their
standard. They have closed their eyes to the real purpose of the prophet's
policy on not calling names. He simply had to keep the doors open in
organization, keep the peace with ministers. Therefore it was not wisdom to call
the names of such evil men or he would not be able to preach in their churches
and deliver the sheep out of the hands of such hirelings.
After organizations rejected Brother Branham and his message, he then used
that liberty to call the names of great men like Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, and
others, because a new age was emerging, called the Bride Age, and the Laodicean
Age was fast closing.
Quote W.M.B.: 35-1 "But now notice. "Deceive the very
elected..." Watch that group! That's that group that follows right alon…And
right down in your heart you see what they're working you for--have you in
church. Why? To draw a crowd to bleed them of every bit of money they can get
out of it. You think I don't know that? They might not think I know it, but I
know it. Jesus knowed from the beginning who was deceiver. See? But what did
He do? He just waited till that time. That's what we must always do. Wait till
that time; don't move in yourself. Wait till that minute." (Three Kinds of
believers 63-1124E).
The prophet looked for that hour, the new age that came after the opening of
the seals, when heretics and false anointed ones would be openly exposed. It
comes under the lion's ministry as the ministry that the bride is coming into.
For ministers will be anointed differently and will roar like lions, call the
names of heretics and deliver the sheep of the Lord.
Heretical Article No. 528: "YOUR SILENCE IN
THIS MATTER IS YOUR AGREEMENT TO IT!"
E.O.D.H. Answer: : After I wrote
my last correspondence to Pastor Elijah, and perceived that he was determined to
pull me into a senseless argument, I informed him that I don't argue. The
above heresy is a psychological statement that was employed to force me into an
argument. To prove the ignorance of this pastor in the written Word; Jesus
was silent when He stood before Pilate. Then Elijah is saying that it was
Jesus' agreement to all the accusations and charges that he had heard against
him. According to Elijah's heresy, God's silence on the seventh seal was
His agreement to all the heresies of false thunders. How far can intellectualism
take a man away from the word of God? The more that heretics fight E.O.D.H., is
the further they take themselves away from God.
Elijah's tongue is swift like a weavers beam; he is smart, subtle and highly
intellectual. I have debated with several heretics for the past decades, and
even of recent times, but Elijah must be credited as one of the most
subtle in twisting the word of God to formulate heresies. He just
knows how to bend the scriptures to escape exposition when he is cornered by the
word. I am sure that this deluded pastor is fully conscious that enough was said
from the word and the message, to convince him that his heresies are wrong, but
he has elevated himself too highly on a pinnacle from which he is too proud to
climb down. E.O.D.H and its ministers have had much experience in dealing with
such cunning craftiness and slight of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.
Thus, there is no hiding place for Elijah. We expect him to continue to make
excuses for his gross heresies, and to hold his face up before his congregation.
However, we trust that after he reads the above exposition, that he will change
his attitude and acknowledge that he is wrong, because of the great clarity in
which his latter heresies were exposed by the written word and the message of
Malachi 4:5 & 6.
Space would not permit me to document several more of Elijah's heresies in
this publication; besides I will prefer to wait until he challenges the
exposition of his heresies, since he promised to engage in some E.O.D.H. work
himself to expose me.
Pastor Elijah, after much admonishment, finally apologized for his bad
mannerism, but not for his heresies. His letter arrived much too late
after E.O.D.H book 13 was completed, with his name attached to his
heresies. I forgive him with all my heart and also publicly state that if I have
offended him in my mannerism, misquotation of him or others in my personal
letters, I humbly apologize. I had no intentions in exposing personal
things, which I discussed with him by letters, and have not done so in this
work.
He has not apologized for his heresies on the seventh seal/seven
Thunders and its program, seals related heresies and other heresies, which are
not directly connected with the subject of the seventh seal. Therefore I do not
repent for exposing such damnable heresies. I have no other option than
to publish my work as it is written and identify him with his heresies for the
benefit and soul salvation of all message believers, who are snared with
heresies of this kind. I trust that he himself would understand that his
doctrines are heresies, or that his associates could read this book and convince
him against his heretical beliefs. E.O.D.H. and its ministers are willing to
give the right hand of fellowship to Brother and Pastor Elijah Gibbs, if he
repents and forsakes his damnable heresies.
"A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition
reject." (Titus 3:10).
