Welcome to Bible Believers Fellowship and the ministry of bbfohio.com. I am Pastor Greg and I welcome you to our current events update and then our study in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 16 and 17 titled, And God, Even Our Father. The conclusion of this study can be found at bbfohio.com as we now begin part one of two. What do you call when it's twice during a week? That's not bi-weekly, that's... I thought that'd be... Bi-weekly can be either every two weeks or twice a week, just like bi-annual. Okay, well... It's the English language. Anyway, this report is for today, 11-29-23. More hostages being released each day. For that, we're thankful. Especially since I think probably three out of four of them have been children. Can you imagine? One of the kids let loose was a four year old who her father was killed while he was holding her in his arms and then they killed her mother. So she's going home as an orphan. It's just a shame what's going on. And we had more today. I heard 17, and I heard 12. I'm not sure what number they landed on. But the idea is, from what I understand, that they've agreed that for any day that they let 10 or more hostages free, there'll be a ceasefire that day. They've still got about 160 hostages, so this could go on for up to 16 days. They're doing this on purpose, obviously. But sadly, a number have died or will die before being released. They were asking for and calling for the release of the little baby in the middle, especially. And they are now, Hamas is claiming that the mother, Shira Bibas, and her two children died. And they're trying to blame the Israeli strikes, airstrikes. So some of these hostages are going to be dead. And then the investigation, if it's ever settled, will try to find out whether they actually were killed. And it's possible. And that is pretty convenient. It is. You're dealing with liars. I want to give an explanation. I've been asked this a couple of times. Why is Israel going along with this obvious tactic by Hamas? Because it's obvious that Hamas is trickling these hostages out so that they can have more time to regroup. And the bottom line is they want to kill more Jews. And I don't think I didn't get the video clip. There was a video I wanted to get off of Real America's Voice, but I couldn't find a good copy of it to share with you. I was watching it live but one of the Israeli spokesman was explaining what actually I had just been talking to Jenny and I said you know even though they know that this is a tactic we're still talking about human beings being released and they're not they're not you know giving them anything other than a swap for soldiers technically although they are giving them yeah it's like it's always been like that anytime israel has swapped prisoners no matter what the war the situation hamas did you know israel did it this is how it goes this is what you'll find about most of the criticism of israel Israel, let's say, there have been times where they let like a hundred to one. To get one hostage back, the Jews would give a hundred Palestinians. And you know what the complaint was then, after they got that unbelievable deal? Then they accused Israel of just not thinking their lives are worth that much. You can't win with people like that. But it's like talking to a liberal. you just can't win so that's why Israel is knowingly giving them this ceasefire which is going to hurt them to some extent militarily speaking but that's how they love their people and the lives of their people and the I think it was the first was I should know the name of the for the female prime minister of Israel. She said there will be peace in the Middle East once the Arabs love their children as much as they hate the Jews. That is the reality of it. But we'll leave it at that. We've given the go back and watch the previous Sunday and Wednesday messages, either live stream or the ones edited. Our current events are up there. And we've given all the information. But number two, just something to know. You've heard me talk about the military industrial complex. Well, hand in hand with that is now the censorship industrial complex. and i didn't make that term up by the way but we have been warning for more than fifteen years that the liberal left is communism in drag one of these days going to take off the high heels and the dress you don't find that they have weapons and they want you shut up they want you locked up or killed if you won't shut up that is all those nice liberals you know i guarantee i'm telling you uh... you know One of the crazy things we deal with today is even among good Christians, you'll hear them say, you know what? You should see the good in everybody. Show me that in scripture. It's not there. What's the Bible say? The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? Only God. we know for a fact as one things even though a lot of the founding fathers this country were bible-believing christians like thomas jefferson ben franklin and yet they've been the first to tell you that you don't trust man you don't trust men that's why we have the uh... government with they call the striding gears of governments the way they found are set up because you have the executive the legislative the judicial and it's a mess And that's all you hear people complaining about. And they're trying to totally bypass that with all these big, huge bills that no one reads to after they pass it and all that. That is exactly what our founding fathers warned us about. And they told us, you've got to maintain the type of government we've given you because men are wicked. You can't trust me. These are all Christian movies, you know. Trust your heart. I mean, you see this stuff all the time. Family movies and everything. Democrat leftists are as dangerous as the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, the fascists, the Maoists. And if they could disarm the so-called right in this country, they would kill you just like the Bolsheviks killed the unarmed Russians, and just like the Nazis killed the unarmed Germans, and just like the fascists in Italy killed the disarmed Italians. And just like the Maoists, they had a fight on their hands because there were a lot of armed non-Maoist Chinese, but they were able to overcome because there weren't enough Chinese with weapons. This is what I'm talking about. U.S. and U.K. military contractors created a sweeping plan for global censorship. What you saw in the 2020 election was not spontaneous. They had been planning it since at least 2018. This is documented. Whistleblower makes trove of new documents available to public and racket. a couple of online news sources, showing the birth of the censorship industrial complex in reaction to Brexit and to Trump. They realized that if people had freedom, they would embrace freedom and the left and their communistic Marxist death cult would lose. So what do you got to do? You got to shut down freedom, freedom of speech. and that's what they've been working on since 2018. This Michael Schellenberger was a part of the group you're going to hear about in a minute that were given the Twitter files and showed that our communist president Biden and his administration worked It's a communist, communofascist sort of thing. Fascism is when government and private industry gets in bed together to control the people. That's exactly what we have today in America. And they Twitter private Biden administration, federal government, got in bed together to shut you up and to destroy freedom of speech in America. And that's what this is all about. There's going to be a hearing Well, there was a hearing at 10 a.m. Is that tomorrow? Okay. What is today, the 26th? 29th, yeah. So, he, though, is supposed to be there tomorrow. So, I don't know who, you know, because they give both sides and everything like that. So, in true fascist form, it's a government private incestuous racket that is going on in this country. Most, I'm sorry, I'm just, I gotta say this every once in a while, most Christians are totally clueless to the fact that they're losing their nation and losing their freedoms. Most Americans you talk to have no idea. And their pastors are a big reason for that. Rumble filed a federal defamation lawsuit against co-founders of a purported watchdog group. The lawsuit alleges that Jami and Atkin, the two people behind the watchdog group, cannot tolerate Rumble's content-neutral philosophy, and they want competing points of view to be silenced. communist fascist they're all the same when it comes to your freedom as cited in the suit the defendants accused rumble of lying to its shareholders and the sdc about the company's financial health and the source of its revenue if they can prove that those guys go to jail the name of the uh... leftist communist organization that they run is called check my ads and what they did was they they you date They're the ones behind forcing people like Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson. That's these guys. And they're in cahoots with Media Matters, which is funded by, I'll give you a guess, George Soros. Guess who? He's behind it. So that man just couldn't die soon enough. He is a devil with skin and has as much to do with the thousands of people being raped. You see those reports, these Mexicans and Venezuelans and others from South America are coming up to America and the women and young girls are being forced into rape tents. And Biden knows it, his administration knows it. And they're gang raping these women if they want to come to America. And that's documented. It isn't Greg just thinking, you know, that it's going on. This is all documented. And the videos are out there if you care to see it. I mean, I'm telling you, I cannot believe that I watch. I just see everybody going about their daily business when we have the most wicked, disgusting president and administration in American history right now in America. And then the people that your neighbors and your friends and your co-workers are so perverted and twisted in their heart and brain and mind, they are so perverted that they want you to stay mad at Donald Trump because of mean tweets. And by the way, it's a huge number of the Republican establishments involved in it, too. Mitt Romney and people like that, or just Mitch McConnell, they know it, too. They know all about this. They do not care. But the goal is total control, to put a boot on your throat. These are some of the propaganda that actually bragged and boasted about the desire to put the boot on your throat. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Vigilance, eternal vigilance is what is missing in America today. People don't have vigilance. They don't want to be bothered. Just let me live in my fruity little world I'm in. Don't bug me with reality. And that's what is killing this country right now. People don't love their freedom enough to actually be put out. That's what's going on. After billionaire Musk purchased Twitter in October of 22, independent journalists including Matt Foebe and Michael Schellenberger released a series of sweeping reports exposing a public-private partnership made up of think tanks, the CDC, the FBI, and the CIA. These reports are known as the Twitter files I referred to just a moment ago. Thanks to Elon Musk's release of the Twitter file. The Twitter file. On October 14th, 2020, Twitter blocks the New York Post story of Hunter Biden and suspends their account. Potential power of big tech winner has deamplified shadow ban got censored censoring information. That was true I'm here today because of a series of events that began late last year when I received a note from a source online It read are you interested in doing a deep dive into what censorship and manipulation is going on at Twitter clear? Today American taxpayers are unwittingly financing the growth and power of a censorship industrial complex Unfortunately, our own government appears to be playing the lead role. The Twitter files, state attorneys general lawsuits, and investigative reporters have revealed a large and growing network of government agencies, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations that are actively censoring American citizens, often without their knowledge, on a range of issues. Twitter worked overtime to suppress accurate COVID information. We learned Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, the DHS, the HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA. Moreover, we know that the U.S. government has funded organizations that pressure advertisers to boycott news media organizations and social media platforms. that refuse to censor and or spread disinformation, including alleged conspiracy theories. Another troubling aspect is the role of the press, which should be the people's last line of defense in such cases. But instead of investigating these groups, journalists partner with them. The censorship industrial complex combines established methods of psychological manipulation, some developed by the US military during the global war on terror, with highly sophisticated tools from computer science, including artificial intelligence. A focus of this fast-growing network is making lists of people whose opinions, beliefs, associations, or sympathies are deemed misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation. That last term is just a euphemism for true, but inconvenient. That's a documentary. And I'll refer to it again in just a minute. But as long as Christians and conservatives choose to use Facebook, YouTube, et cetera, we will continue to suffer for it. And I know a couple of you here probably use it. I'm not mad at you. And I don't want to know. Don't tell me. But you can look me in the eye right now. I'm going to tell you the truth. And the truth is, it's because conservatives and Christians won't shut them down. And we're going to continue to suffer for it. Because you've got to keep in contact with your relatives. You've got to keep in contact with old friends. OK, just I want you to know you're sacrificing your country and your freedom. So you can hang out with your old buddies and friends and relatives. If they love you, they'll go where you go. Go to other social media and if they care about you, they'll go there. If not, you just did yourself a favor because they don't care about you to begin with. I know who doesn't give a rip about Greg Miller. They don't give any effort to meet me in the middle and stay in contact. I left Facebook, I don't know how many years ago. Only a couple of the so-called friends, I got news for you, those people aren't your friends. And as soon as they can turn you in, they're going to turn you in. I'm just amazed that conservatives and Christians will bow in a submission to the most faggoty, sodomite, wicked, disgusting people to ever walk the earth. And Christians are bootlicking them. And without fail, it's hardly anybody I know that'll leave their stupid Facebook ghetto and turn off YouTube. And I'm going off on it tonight, and I haven't mentioned it for a while, but I'm telling you, people send me YouTube links, delete. Just don't do it. I watched one, I went to one Facebook page this year because it was apostate named Carlton Pearson who croaked and went to hell, and I went to see the last video he posted because the only place I could see it was Facebook. That's the only time I've been on there. And folks, I really believe, maybe I'm wrong, but I believe we're at the point where I better say something now or it ain't gonna matter. And I'm not just talking to the people in the room, all the people that listen online and all the people on internet radio and all that, I want them to hear that. And it's just so sad that if Christians would turn that off, it would die. If conservatives who say they're so brave, standing up for freedom, that's the way they present themselves on their social media. And yet they won't turn off the communists. And there's plenty of social media out there where you don't have to support the communists. And they won't do it. Every time you click, there's another 10 million others clicking. You're making them the money that they're using to kill you. That's all it is. We have a page if you go to bbfwire.com and documentaries. You actually can go to the website under resources and click on documentaries. The first featured documentary you'll find there is this one, the one I was just referring to. Censored and Controlled. And we've got 28 hours plus of documentaries with information that every Christian needs to know on that page. So with that, be informed, pray, and act accordingly. Amen? And God, even our Father. 2 Thessalonians 2, 16, 17. If you get your Bibles up, we're going to read there in just a minute. We're finishing up our study of Chapter 2 with a close look at the Father and Son in a particular context. As we look at these two verses closing out the chapter, the text is simple and clear. We'll see that as we read. So if you're there, read both verses with me. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, even our Father, which hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. Amen? But false teachers and cults cause confusion on this. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and a god even our father now you'll have not just calts but the people uh... who are under that influence of those calls and some people just careless bible readers and they'll point out these cut these texts there's a few of my kids that's a really really make you saying jesus is garbage says that uh... our lord jesus christ himself and god even our father well for starters uh... that the bible say there's one lord My Bible also says, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen? So just by calling Jesus Lord, and you'll notice the L is capitalized, you're calling him deity whether you know it or not. There's all these cults that are referred to the Lord Jesus Christ, and they're calling him deity even though they deny that. Now, for those who don't know, when we refer to cults, we're talking about religions that deny fundamental truths of the Bible. They'll deny that the Bible is our authority, and so they'll give you a Watchtower magazine if you're a Jehovah's Witness. They'll give you a Book of Mormon if you're a Mormon. They'll give you anything in addition to or above the Bible. That is a mark of a cult. They'll deny the Trinity. And sometimes they'll even use the word Trinity, and they don't even mean what you and I mean. What we mean is what the Bible says. There is one God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Not three gods, one God in three persons. Each is equally and fully God. The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Ghost is God, and these three are one. We'll see it in a moment. uh... they will deny the dvd of christ specifically and they'll usually call the spirit the holy spirit they'll say it's a like force like Star Wars, you know, may the force be with you. You know, that kind of thing. The Bible says the Spirit is personal. Uses personal pronouns, he and him, for the Spirit. Says that the Spirit of God can be grieved, which is something a person does. And then Jesus is, what we're going to focus on because of the text, is declared to be God in Scripture, but they'll look at a text like this and they'll say, well, doesn't that mean Jesus isn't God? Because it says, now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God, even our Father, as though the Father is God, but Jesus, even though He's called Lord Jesus Christ, He isn't God. That's what they do with this text. So comparing scripture with scripture, let's look at the deity of Christ. The word deity refers to Him being God. Deity or divine. Divinity of Christ is another way they put it. The Bible is clear that Jesus is God, so let's run some Bible references. Go to Isaiah 9-6. This is one that you'll see when you get Christmas cards. I got my... Ginny and I got our first Christmas card today from Dave and Janice Reese. Thank you very much. And it's a very nice card. But a lot of times the cards will have this text on it. Isaiah 9-6. I'll give you a second to get there as I take a drink of my dark roast coffee. Isaiah 9-6, if you're there, read it. For unto us a child is born.
