Bad News: No Perfect Church to Imperfect People

By Julio Severo

A usual complaint from people who left the church is that they found something bad in the church. They did not like the sermons of the minister. They did not like the service format. They did not like other members. Their complaints are infinite.

During the years, I found the same problems, but they never surpassed my supreme attention, which was in Jesus Christ. When I saw a minister involved in adultery, my faith was not destroyed because my trust was not centered on the man, but in Jesus Christ.

When I saw other scandals in the church, my faith was not destroyed because Jesus was everything to me. His Word was my guide. Prayer was my communication with God.

If the Bible and prayer were not my main base, I could easily depart from a nominal Gospel.

If a perfect church was a deterrent for apostasy, Judas Iscariot, who was an official apostle of Jesus, would have never departed from Jesus. So Jesus had a perfect church, but his apostles were not perfect.

And what to say about Adam and Eve? His only master was God. Even so, they fell from grace and sinned. So to speak, they had the perfect church and the perfect Pastor, but they chose to fall.

What can we learn from these lessons? If you do not have a perfect church, you always have a perfect Bible and direct communication with the perfect God through prayer.

If you have a perfect church, as Adam and Eve had and as the apostles of Jesus had, you will be always the problem, because you will be always imperfect.

Of course, there are heretical churches that preach what is contrary to Bible and God’s will. These are not imperfect churches. They are demonic churches.

Imperfect churches preach the Gospel in an imperfect way. They do not deny God Father, God Son and God the Holy Spirit. They do not deny baptism. They do not deny salvation only through Jesus Christ. They do not deny the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Any church denying these essentials are more than imperfect and you should prayerfully find another church.

In other cases, you should seek transformation from God. Judas Iscariot had the perfect church, but he had many spiritual problems.

Adam and Eve had the perfect fellowship with God, but they chose bad option.

So the problem can be in you or in your church. Prayerfully consider if the problem is in you or your church. You will be surprised with the answers God will give you.

While you do not know if the problem is in you or your church, dedicate yourself to prayer and Bible reading. Pray one hour a day. Read the Bible one hour a day. Such spiritual discipline, done in a humble way, will open God’s Heaven to you and your family and lead you to a church where you will share God’s blessing to them and in some way God will use them to bless you.

Donald Trump Has Designated Churches and Mosques as Essential

By Julio Severo

President Donald Trump declared on 22 May 2020 that churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship are “essential services” and must reopen.

“Today I’m identifying houses of worship — churches, synagogues and mosques — as essential places that provide essential services,” Trump said in the White House briefing room.

Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, all non-essential services have been closed. Churches have been put in this category, but abortion clinics not. Abortion, which was legalized in the United States in 1973 and kills about 4,000 American unborn babies, has been deemed an “essential service.”

“Some governors have deemed a liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out churches and other houses of worship. It’s not right. So I’m correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential,” Trump said, reading from a statement.

“Many millions of Americans embrace worship as an essential part of life. The ministers, pastors, rabbis, imams and other faith leaders will make sure that their congregations are safe as they gather and pray,” Trump said.

“We need more prayer not less,” concluded Trump, who believes that the prayers of evangelical ministers, Catholic priests, Jewish rabbis, Islamic imams and other faith leaders — including witchcraft leaders — can do a lot of good to the U.S. It is in this belief that he inaugurated, days ago, a totally new multifaith National Day of Prayer. While the National Day of Prayer was launched by evangelicals in the 1950s and was always prominently evangelical, now Trump turned it into a multifaith event, with evangelical ministers, Catholic priests, Jewish rabbis, Islamic imams and many other leaders of different non-Christian and anti-Christian religions.

Trump’s intent is to correct some states, which keep liquor stores, abortion clinics and homosexual clubs open because are deemed “essential.” By declaring churches and mosques essential, Trump has showed that states should grant to churches and mosques the same importance they have granted to liquor stores, abortion clinics and homosexual clubs.

I do not know if George Washington, the first U.S. president, would be happy that someday churches would be granted the same importance as mosques, liquor stores, abortion clinics and homosexual clubs. But I doubt that he would not be shocked.

And I doubt that when Islamic imams make their strange prayers, they are praying for the good of the U.S and its Christian foundation. But I would not doubt if they are praying for their Islamic brothers to be successful in all their efforts to spread Islam — including by sword and bombs.

To make churches and mosques as equally essential is a sign that the U.S. has become a religious Babylon. To make churches and abortion clinics as equally essential is a sign that the U.S. has become an opportunistic Babylon.

So in the current U.S., or Babylon, as David Wilkerson used to call America, if you want to open churches, you have to open abortion clinics too. If you consider churches important, you have to consider mosques equally important, for the sake of sacred equality, which is above God and the Bible in America. In fact, in America’s equality, God and Satan are… exactly equal in religious and legal worth! So you should not be surprised if someday a Satanist offers his prayers at the National Day of Prayer.

Perhaps this confusion explains why on the date celebrating the landmark 500 years of the Protestant Reformation (October 31, 2017), Trump not only did not celebrate it, but he did celebrate Halloween, a date traditionally connected to occultism. Perhaps aware that multiculturalism forces him to celebrate equally the special dates of other religions, he discarded the most important date of Protestantism in the largest Protestant nation in the world.

There is just one problem. Trump has celebrated special dates of other religions at the White House itself.

* In 2018, Trump host his first White House Ramadan dinner.

* Also in 2018, Trump host a pagan Hindu Festival at the White House.

* And Trump’s State Department has officially “blessed” Islamic holidays.

While Trump and his administration celebrate Islamic holidays at the White House, let us ask a very simple question: “Does Saudi Arabia, the capital of Islam and the most important Islamic ally of the U.S., celebrate Protestant holidays?”

So why does the U.S., the largest Protestant nation in the world, celebrate Islamic holidays?

What has the U.S. received by flattering Islam? A multitude of Islamic attacks, including the 9/11 — most of them with Saudi connections.

Could it be that celebration and flattery of Islam draw more hatred and terrorist attacks from Muslims? If this logic is correct, it could explain why Saudi Arabia does not celebrate Protestant holidays. Perhaps Saudi Arabia fears that by flattering and celebrating Protestantism they might eventually draw hatred and terrorist attacks from U.S. Protestants!

Can you imagine if such approach is used to deal with other criminals? To rapists? Incidentally, Saudi students who rape American women go unpunished by fleeing the U.S. under the protection of Saudi Arabia. The U.S. cannot be hard with Saudi rapists fleeing to Saudi Arabia because it could lose billions and billions and billions of dollars. After all, Saudi Arabia is the biggest purchaser of U.S. weapons.

So the U.S. apparently flatters Islam and does not punish Saudi rapists because they have a very good economic and military deal. Has ever Saudi Arabia flattered Protestantism and not punished American criminals just for the sake of this deal?

But Trump is not the first Republican president to flatter Islam.

Immediately after the 9/11, Republican President George W. Bush said that Islam is a “religion of peace,” to make sure that no one had some wrong idea that Islam and Saudi Arabia could be somewhat involved in this horrible attack.

And in the 1950s Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower inaugurated a mosque in Washington and in his speech, he said that Islam has for centuries contributed to the building of civilization. Could he have read, because of a visual impairment, “building” where there was “destruction” in his history books?

Remember the difference: Republicans are conservative and Democrats are socialists following a multicultural agenda. Republicans are different from Democrats. Now repeat it to yourself several times a day until you eventually believe it!

White evangelical Christians have been among the most loyal members of the Trump’s political base, because they are conservative and voted to have a conservative administration, not a multifaith Babylon, with non-Christian and anti-Christian religions having the same worth as the Christian religion that was the bedrock of the U.S. civilization.

Roy Moore Attacked by Homo-Fascists for Sharing My Article Endorsing Russia’s Anti-Gay Propaganda Laws

By Julio Severo

In the wake of the biased CNN report titled “Roy Moore’s Facebook page shared inflammatory memes, article praising Russia’s anti-gay laws,” which attacks Moore because of my BarbWire article, the homosexual websites Intomore and LGBTQNation quickly followed suit.

Referring to my article, LGBTQNation published its headline: “Senate candidate Roy Moore agrees with Russia’s antigay crackdown.”

In its piece titled “GOP Senate Candidate Shares Article Endorsing Russia’s Brutal Anti-Gay Propaganda Laws” (as if to ban homosexual propaganda to children were “brutal”), Intomore said:

One of America’s most homophobic politicians is in hot water yet again following reports that his Facebook page shared an article praising Russia’s anti-gay propaganda laws.

Roy Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court justice who attempted to block same-sex marriage in his state, shared the offending link in 2015. Authored by BarbWire’s Julio Severo, the piece refers to Vladimir Putin’s oppressive regime as championing “a strong stance in defense of traditional family values.”

“It bans homosexual groups and individuals from giving children information about homosexuality,” Severo writes. “Violators face hefty fines and arrest.”

Intomore complains that homosexual “pride parades have been blocked across” Russia.

The Russian law kills homosexual propaganda, not homosexuals. In contrast, Saudi Arabia kills both homosexual propaganda and homosexuals.

Does Intomore see the difference? Apparently, it does not see. A simple Google search finds, in its results, that Intomore has condemned Russia many times (in 78 hits) and Saudi Arabia just 4 times (yes, incredibly just 4 hits).

If I understand Intomore’s logics, if you ban homosexual propaganda, you deserve many condemnations. But if you ban homosexual propaganda and apply capital punishment on homosexuals, you deserve just a few condemnations.

So, to avoid many condemnations from Intomore and other American homosexual websites, should Russia imitate Saudi Arabia, the closest Islamic partner of the United States, and add capital punishment to homosexuals?

Russia is the largest Orthodox Christian nation in the world. Saudi Arabia is the capital of Islam in the world.

Obviously Intomore and other homosexual websites are much more worried about Christianity than about Islam.

If homosexualists at Intomore were given an opportunity to choose between Saudi Arabia and Russia to live, would they would choose Saudi Arabia?

Perhaps their life philosophy is: It is better to die under Islam than living under Christianity!

Intomore also said about Moore:

The 70-year-old told C-SPAN2’s After Words in a 2005 interview that homosexuality should be illegal. Moore has called same-sex relations “abominable, detestable, unmentionable, and too disgusting and well known to require other definition or further details or description.”

Nothing new. Moore merely said what the Jewish and Christian Bibles have been saying for thousands of years!

Sadly, current America grants excessive freedom to homosexualists — a nonsense never imagined by the U.S. Founders, including the first U.S. president, George Washington, who loathed homosexuality and expelled homosexuals, but never killed them.

Intomore added:

Moore, who also shared a video questioning whether President Barack Obama is a Muslim, recently won the GOP nomination.

So is Intomore unhappy that Moore suggested Obama is a Muslim? For Intomore, is Islam better than Christianity? If so, to live in the United States or Russia is a bad choice and a “nightmare.” They should move to Saudi Arabia.

Next, Intomore said about me:

But at least one person is happy about Moore’s endorsement of Russian homophobia: the author of the BarbWire piece himself.

Responding to the CNN report which broke the story, Severo writes that it’s a “privilege” to have his article shared by the former jurist, who was removed from his position after being found guilty of numerous ethics violations. Calling the cable station the “Communist News Network,” the author refers to CNN as “one of most rabid left-wing, anti-conservative channels in the United States.”

The “numerous ethics violations” are mainly that Moore refused a federal judge’s order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state courthouse lobby and that he opposed gay “marriage,” resulting in his permanent suspension. I would also love to be condemned for such “ethics violations”!

As an evangelical Christian, Moore acted correctly by sharing my article endorsing Russia’s anti-gay propaganda laws.

Christians do not approve the brutal Islamic treatment of homosexuals in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim nations. This treatment results in the torture and death of homosexuals.

But Christians everywhere approve righteousness everywhere. If Russia has a law banning homosexual propaganda to protect children and teenagers from the harmful effects of homosexual indoctrination, this is righteousness.

If Russia, the largest Orthodox Christian nation in the world, approves such righteousness, Christians everywhere praise it.

If the United States, the largest Protestant nation in the world, approves such righteousness, Christians everywhere praise it.

I am a Brazilian, but I praise George Washington for his correct attitude of loathing homosexuality and expelling homosexuals. Would he expel homosexualists from the U.S. government today? You bet! I am a fan of Washington. Yet, Intomore would prefer to express many condemnations of Christian Washington and a few condemnations of the Islamic Saudis.

For homo-fascists, it is “brutal” to ban homosexual propaganda to children. Yet, whatever they think, they are not entitled to our children. In fact, they have no rights whatsoever over children.

It is actually brutal not to protect children and teenagers from homosexual propaganda.

I am pretty sure that if Washington were risen today and given an opportunity to offer his views on laws banning homosexual propaganda, he would side with children’s safety.

Washington is not here. But America has thousands of Christians like Washington. Moore is one of them.

To protect children from predatory homosexuality and its propaganda is more important than protecting predatory homosexual propaganda to children.

Roy Moore should be praised for understanding this difference and siding with Washington.

America needs heroes like Washington. Moore is one of them. If America has wicked individuals, including in her State Department and her embassies, who praise sodomy around the world, why cannot America have a hero praising efforts around the world, including in Russia, to protect children from the homosexual propaganda?
