A Biblical perspective on Bible topics and subjects from a position of Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth,
King James Bible - God's Word in the English Speaking language.
Prepared by, Sam Martino All quotations are taken from the KJB .... No other so called Perversion will ever be used, other than to demonstrate their lies and errors.
SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH
THY WORD IS TRUTH [ JOHN, 17:17 KJB ]
THY WORD IS TRUE FROM THE BEGINNING [PSALMS 119,:160
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH EVEN IF NO ONE BELIEVES IT
AND A LIE IS A LIE EVEN IF ANYONE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH EVEN IF NO ONE ACCEPTS IT
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH EVEN IF NO ONE UNDERSTANDS IT
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH EVEN IF YOU HIDE IT
BELIEVING EVERYBODY IS DANGEROUS
BUT BELIEVING NOBODY IS MORE DANGEROUS
When someone complains that you do not have the love of God when exposing their errors Biblically
Its Time to get ready to show them their errors. The study will attempt to put this issue in a Biblical perspective.
To mark and avoid false teachers is mean-spirited and unloving.
To preach high and holy standards of Christian living is unloving
To discipline heretics is unloving.
A many years ago, Evangelist Jack Van Impe and others rejected biblical separatism and went
over to the ecumenical philosophy. He said: "Let's forget our labels and come
together in love, and the pope has called for that. I had 400 verses an love. Till I
die I will proclaim nothing but love for all my brothers and sisters in Christ, my
Catholic brothers and sisters, Protestant brothers and sisters, Christian
Reformed, Lutherans, I don't care what label you are. By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples who have love one to another."
This is the popular view of love, but it is false and dangerous. It will ultimately
help yoke the one world religion

ABOUT
THE Definition OF LOVE!
Love is crucial. The Bible says that without love 'I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal." The Bible tells us that God is love, and those who
know God will reflect His love.
What is love, though?
People are confused about 'the definition of love. Love must be defined
biblically. "Love," to human thinking, is a warm feeling or a sensual romantic
thought. "Love," to this ecumenical generation, is broadmindedness and nonjudgmental
acceptance of any one who claims to know the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is not what the Bible says about love.
Consider the following verses of Holy Scripture:
Jesus answered and said unto him, If' A MAN LOVE ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and
make our abode with him.
And this I pray, that your LOVE MAY ABOUND YET MORE AND MORE
IN KNOWLEDGE AND IN ALL JUDGMENT; That ye may approve things
that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of
Christ .
FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS
COMNANDMENTS: and his commandments are not grievous.
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do
the things which WE COMMAND YOU. And the Lord direct your hearts
into THE LOVE OF GOD, and into the patient waiting for Christ. Now WE
COMMAND YOU, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye
withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not
after the tradition which he received of us.
Biblical love is obedience to God and His Word. we see in the
last passage cited that the love of God is sandwiched between two verses which
emphasize obedience to God's commandments, including separation from
disobedient brethren!
Love is not a feeling. It is not romanticism. For a woman to love her husband
means she submits to and serves him according to the Bible. For a man to love his
wife means he treats her in the way the Bible commands. For children to love their
parents means they honor and obey their parents as the Bible commands. Love is
obedience to God's Word. That is what the Bible really teaches, and that is to
avoid false teachers, and teachings.
Love is not an emotion. It is not broadmindedness. It is not non-judgmental. it
is not non-critical acceptance. Biblical love is careful. It is based on knowledge
and judgment from God's Word. It proves all things, and it approves only
those things that are the will of God.
Was the Lord Jesus Christ unloving when He called Peter a devil are
when he publicly condemned the Pharisees ? Was the Apostle Paul
unloving when he rebuked Peter publicly for his compromise Was
the Apostle Paul unloving when he named the name of false teachers and
compromisers such as Hymenaeus and Alexander ten different times in the
Pastoral Epistles?
Was the Apostle Paul unloving when he forbade women to
preach or to usurp authority over men
Biblical love for people does not mean that we ignore things that they do that are
wrong and offensive . This is true both in the physical. and spiritual realms. For
example, to love a murderer, in a biblical sense, does not mean that we ignore his
crime. It means that we put him to death for his horrible trespass against the image
of God
Likewise, to love a false teacher does not mean that we turn a blind eye to his error
and strive to have unity with him regardless of his doctrine. It means that we obey
the Bible and mark and avoid him , that we expose his error
publicly to protect those who might be led astray by his teaching.

ABOUT
THE DIRECTION OF LOVE!
The FIRST DIRECTION OF L0VE, MUST BE Toward God. Ecumenists
talk much about love of man, but they talk very little about the love of God.
According to the Lord Jesus Christ, though, what is the greatest commandment?
"Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question tempting him,
and saying, Master which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said
unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with alt thy heart, and with all
so they will not be led astray to eternal Hell.
AND TO THINK THAT WE SHOULD MERGE WITH the
UNBELIEVING WORLD IN ORDER TO SHARE THE GOSPEL IS
INCORRECT.
ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, AS SUCH AND HAVE
REJECTED SOUND DOCTRTNE, WE MUST MOVE ON. IT IS
DANGEROUS FOR THE CHRISTIAN TO YOKE THEMSELVES
WITH UNBELIEVERS
The Bible clearly teaches to be separate, from those who walk contrary to his
word.
We must judge with righteous judgement according to the word of God. We are
not to belly up when confronted by the rejecters of sound doctrine, of which is
marked by the last generation.-
Remember, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, who said
John 4 That the true worshippers, shall worship me in truth and
spirit, for the father seeketh such to worship him.
Are you a true worshipper, who has built your faith on biblical
principles and a sure foundation, or have you sold the truth for a
lie, and have joined the disobedient, who, have twisted, the
scriptures, substituting love for discernment.
As for the Bible thumping pastor who has ignorantly ignored his
masters words, he will be held double for his disobedient ways,
and his sheep will will ultimately share in his hellish fate, as he
leads the sheep to slaughter, by helping to dismantle his flock,
thereby causing them to substitute discernment for love.
A shepherd who loves the wolves more than his sheep
is a confused and wicked shepherd.
thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And
the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The first
and great commandment is not to love one's neighbor. That is the second
commandment. The first and great commandment is to love the Lord God
will all the heart, soul, and mind.
People today point their fingers at the Bible-believing fundamentalist and charge
him with a lack of love toward men because he exercises judgment and discipline
and separation.
What about love for God?
People today tell us that we need to love all the denominations regardless of what
doctrine they teach. My reply is that we need to love God and His Truth first, and
that means that we should obey the Bible, and that means we should measure,
mark, and avoid those who are committed to error.
A genuine love for God requires
that we care more about His Word and His will
than about men and their feelings and opinions and programs.
THE DIRECTION OF LOVE NOT ONLY MUST BE TOWARDS GOD
BUT IT MUST BE TOWARD THOSE WHO ARE IN DANGER.
The crowd today tells me that I need to love the Modernist and the Romanist, etc.,
but they are practically silent on the subject of love for those who are deceived by
the Modernists and the Romanists. We are charged with being unloving, for
example, when we expose the fact that John Paul II or Mother Teresa teaches a
false sacramental gospel.
Or that the catholic churches teachings and system is an
enemy of our Lord Jesus Christ. The very fact that the so called Christian churches
have abandoned the time honoring King James Bible, and have traded the Sword
in for a butter knife { Newer Versions} All of which have been proven to pervert
the true gospel. Yet those that have traded their Bible for these imposters, proudly
proclaim their Christian identity.
This is nonsense!
We love people enough to warn of false gospels
Today's Error about Love!
Prepared and researched by Sam Martino. quotations from the King James Bible
IS IT WRONG AND UNLOVING TO EXPOSE FALSE
TEACHINGS?
HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMEONE TELL YOU THAT YOU DO
NOT SHOW LOVE, WHEN YOU ARE SHOWING THEM THEIR
ERRORS?
SINCE WHEN IS IT RTGHT TO LOVE FALSE TEACHERS
OR THEIR FALSE TEACHINGS.
I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN A STAND FOR THE TRUTH, WHEN IT COMES
TO TTIE WORD OF GOD, AND OUR ONLY WEAPON SHOULD BE, ONLY
HIS WORDS. WE MUST BE OBEDIENT TO HIS WORD, AND DEFEND HIS
DOCTRINES, THE DOCTRINES THAT SHOW US THE WAY OF TRUTH.
IF YOU HAYE BEEN TOLD YOU ARE UN LOVING FOR DEFENDING THE
TRUTH, THAN BE PROUD THAT YOU HAYE TAKEN A STAND FOR HIS
WORDS.
When Bible-believing Christians take the Word of God and measure leaders,
churches, denominations and movements today by it, ecumenical types charge
them with a lack of love. "What about unity", they ask. "WHAT ABOUT LOVE?",
they HOLLAR! "What you call zeal for the Bible, I call arrogance and pride",
they say. "If you know the Bible as well as you claim, then I believe you'd live it.
The lost will never be reached through such hatred," they have said.
People get upset about my preaching , but instead of explaining my alleged error
carefully from the Bible, they charge me with a lack of love, and this, in spite of
their own haughty and incredibly judgmental attitude toward me
To this brainwashed generation of today...
The negative aspects of biblical Christianity are unloving'
To carefully test things by the Bible is unloving.
To warn of false gospels is unloving'
To this I say, one should stand on clear biblical principals , never caving in to ignorant misinformed brainwashed people, who would rather remain ignorant lost and void of all common sense, the Blind leading the Blind cannot be any clearer ..
