Orangemen warned to ‘reject Rome’ and not use RIP on social media

Such advice, which is very good, must also mean that Orangemen are not to attend the Mass, something many Orange leaders were seeking to have approved!!!

SHOCK CLAIM: Christians were WRONG to brand Satan evil as scientist insists devil is good

The idiot is saying that the Lord got it all wrong, since true Christians base their view of Satan on what the Lord has said of him in the Bible.

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels,” Matthew 25:41.
“And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,” John 13:2.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,” 1 Peter 5:8.
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever,” Revelation 20:10.

Remembering the ‘Moses of the Scots-Irish’

A passage from the “The Scattered Nation”

the ‘occasional record of the London-based Hebrew Christian Testimony to Israel’, edited by David Baron, a converted Jew, October 1894.

‘WHAT are you doing to reach the better class Jews?’ has been asked by several friends. Mr. Schönberger partly answers the question at the end of his paper. We are carrying on a vigorous postal mission to those of the richer Jews in all the different suburbs of London who cannot otherwise be reached. For this purpose we have issued an Open Letter, a portion of which I reproduce here, to give our friends an idea how we have to address our unbelieving brethren.

EXTRACT from our Open Letter to the Jews

“Brethren, it is an undeniable fact, that at the very time when our people expected the Messiah, a pure and holy man appeared among them of the the name of Jesus, who declared Himself to be the promised Redeemer, spoken of by the Prophets, and proved Himself such by His marvellous life, doctrine and works.

Brethren, it is an undeniable fact, that in consequence of the death of Jesus of Nazareth, and on the ground of His resurrection from the dead, a community was formed at Jerusalem, who, recognising Jesus as the Messiah prophesied by the Prophets, commenced to meet on the first day of the week in memory of His resurrection ; which company has grown from that day until this, and now embraces a multitude which cannot be numbered, from among all the nations of the earth.

Brethren, it is an undeniable fact, that soon after the death of Jesus and the founding and spread of His Church, there came to pass a terrible destruction of Jerusalem, and the expulsion of our people from Palestine, which He had foretold, and while from that time the synagogue, which would none of Him, was, stricken with impotence and barrenness, His Church on the other hand has grown ever more and more, the triumphal march of His Gospel unceasingly advancing from nation to nation, until to-day the name of Christ is proclaimed in the whole world.

Are not these facts sufficient to excite your interest and consideration?

Does it offend you, that we, as Hebrew Christians,” wish to speak with you? Perhaps you are prepared to meet us, if not with stones, with that which is far worse, with words of insult and reproach. Kôfer! Meshummed! (Both terms referring to one who is deemed an apostate by the Jews – IF)

Have done with these senseless thoughtless word-blows! Jews were the living stones of which the Church of the Apostles was built. Jews were the first to confess the Gospel, and to preach it throughout the world.

From Jews have come down to us the writings of the New Testament, and everything belonging to Christianity, and though confessors of Christ are of nearly all races of the earth, yet there is no doubt that Christianity, in its origins, as in its essence and doctrine, genuinely Jewish. So now we, as Jews are believers in Jesus, who has appeared, and in His Salvation, and are, therefore, Hebrew Christians.

For us, the times of the Messiah commenced with the appearance of Jesus, and woe to us if we remained silent to you of this matter, We believe, therefore, we speak,
Brethren, hearken! We hold such to be true Jews who hold to the true Jewish teaching,
We believe in Moses and the prophets. We believe prophecy and its fulfilment, All that is spoken in the Old Testament is, and will be fulfilled in Jesus Christ, and a true Israelite is not he who says, “God is one,” but he who is one with God.”


Theresa May wants same-sex marriage allowed in Northern Ireland

What now for ‘DUP/Conservative Westminster alliance???? Will the DUP own the Bible as their basis for rejecting such a demand from Theresa May? We sincerely hope they will.

The marriage relationship ordained of God, that between a man and a woman, has been perverted by sodomites and is no more a right than is any other breach of God’s commandments. We might as well demand the right to murder, to steal as the ‘right’ to defy God’s law and have a man marry a man or a woman a woman.
“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife (Greek, gune, ‘female’) and they two shall be one flesh,” Ephesians 5:31. (See Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:7.)

ABORTIONIST’S REJOICING REVEALS THE WICKEDNESS THAT PERVADES THE NATION

by Rev Ivan Foster

A pro-abortion campaigner, Ann Furedi, could not stop from rejoicing publicly over the decision by The British Medical Association’s call to decriminalise completely terminations. She has declared that since the decision she “can’t stop humming the 1970s disco classic ‘Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now’.”

Amongst the words of this ‘song’ are these very significant lines.

“There’ve been so many things that have held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin’ around, yeah
I know we’ve got a long long way to go, yeah
And where we’ll end up I don’t know
But we won’t let nothing hold us back.”

“And if you’ve ever been held down before
I know that you refuse to be held down any more, yeah yeah
Don’t you let nothing, nothing
Nothing stand in your way.”

Dr. Joel Beeke and sodomites in the church

Dr Joel Beeke – Why does he mingle with, show little disapprobation of and is happy to promote the writings and the witness of sodomites, despite the many warnings of the sinfulness of such a course and exhortations to repent and cease from such actions???? By Rev Ivan Foster

In truth I cannot answer my own question which heads this article!

Dr Joel Beeke has been, in the eyes of many, a man who has walked in the dangerously compromising footsteps of Dr Billy Graham. As with Dr Graham, there are many who idolise Dr Beeke and can see no wrong in his ways, but rather have built a new ‘doctrine’ around his practices. His failure to obey the Word of God and separate from the company of those whose teaching and practices are contrary to the Word of God and in conflict with the standards of historic Bible Christianity, has been termed but an extension of the duty that stems from the Saviour’s declaration that “Ye are the light of the world,” Matthew 5:14. Read more

Abortions for Northern Irish women to be funded in Wales

How terrible is the rush to offer the services of the NHS to murder the unborn.
It is noticeable that rumours about the Duchess of Cambridge expecting her third child do not refer to a ‘foetus’ but a child.

The unborn child is only called a ‘foetus’ when the abortionist wishes to dehumanise the unborn and make believe that it is something less than a true human being and thereby its destruction is not murder!

“We’re making that absolutely and abundantly clear, and if anyone thinks that we would take a view where we would trade that issue of life and the sanctity of life on a political deal, they don’t understand me and they don’t understand my party and they need to be aware of that.” – Ian Paisley MP.

LESSONS FROM THE TRAGEDY OF THE TOWER

A few observations by Rev Ivan Foster

“Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish,” Luke 13:4-5.

It may be seen here that the Lord Jesus not only took note of dreadful events in His day, but He would have others consider them and draw lessons from them.

Many are talking about the lessons to be learned from the tragedy of the fire which destroyed Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, London. All of the lessons related to fire-prevention and the overhauling of the management of such towers.

I have yet to hear of any who have spoken as did the Saviour on the occasion here in Luke 13. Read more


Student union president sparks controversy by saying she would like to ‘oppress white people’, everyone should read the Koran and that men and women must not be friends

If doctors vote today to scrap abortion limits they’ll betray everything our profession stands for

writes PROFESSOR JOHN CAMPBELL. Published in the Daily Mail – 27 June 2017.

Public trust in British doctors faces a fundamental threat today that could undermine our entire profession.

At the annual conference of the British Medical Association in Bournemouth, around 500 members will vote to lobby the Government to scrap the law that bans abortions after 24 weeks.

If that happens, the lives of an untold number of unborn babies will be threatened. And the regard that society has for modern medicine, with its infinite potential for doing good, will be gravely damaged, not least because this BMA ballot is completely at odds with what the great majority of people in this country want.

Why I have closed my account with SermonAudio

As of 30th May, 2017, I have requested that SermonAudio close my account. I am not sure just when the closure will take place as that is in the hands of SermonAudio. However, I will no longer mount sermons there. Instead, my own website The Burning Bush will now house all my sermons. It has long been the home of my articles and news links. Gradually we will mount the 1376 messages I had on SermonAudio on my own site.

I think that I am correct in saying that our sermons were among the first that were mounted on SermonAudio when Mr. Steven Lee opened his exciting new venture. I recall him heading off home to the United Sates with a large box of old cassette recordings of early sermons preached by me here in Kilskeery, many hundreds of which have been downloaded over the years. I am ever mindful of the introduction SermonAudio gave me to a multitude of believers across the world. Read more

The Visions of the Judgment of the Nations around Israel (Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, Tyrus)

Preached at a meeting of the Sovereign Grace Advent Testimony in London, June 23 2017, By Rev Ivan Foster

These 4 chapters detail the judgments of God which befell the nations around Israel at the hand of Babylon back some 2600 years ago.

Three of the chapters deal with Tyrus. I believe that what is here read is a picture, a foreshadowing of the future judgments of God against the Antichrist and his allies.

The Bible says that: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun,” Ecclesiastes 1:9.
Such a statement is entirely logical.

Man is unchanging in his spiritual disposition and constitution.

Contrary to the Evolutionist’s silly notion that man is on an upward moral path, in truth man is ever on the sinful, depraved downward path. It is only by God’s constraining providence that mankind has not long ago plunged into unspeakable depths of universal darkness and the damnation that will follow.

No, man being the same he ever seeks out the same sinful paths as did his forefathers.
God being the same, and He is, “For I am the LORD, I change not,” Malachi 3:6, His response to sin has ever been the same.

When nations sin as nations have before, then the judgments that will follow such sin will again be as the judgments of the past.

The chapter 25 deals with the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Edomites and the Philistines. I do not intend examining each declaration of judgment against these nations for that would require more time than is available to us tonight.

I wish to highlight important features in these chapters. Read more

Some Cardinal Principles of Prophetic Interpretation

By Charles T Cook

(This article is taken from the second issue of Watching and Waiting, May 1919).

1. Prophecy is never given to satisfy curiosity, but to inculcate some needful moral and spiritual lesson (Daniel 9:2-3; Daniel 10:18; Luke 21:28; 2 Peter 1:19; 2 Peter 3:14).

2. Prophecies of events still future will be fulfilled on the same principle as those which have already come to pass. (The following prophecies concerning our Lord Jesus have been literally fulfilled: Micah 5:2; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 53:7-9; Psalm 16:8-11. The following prophecies will also be fulfilled literally: Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 14:3-4; Matthew 24:29-31. Prophecies concerning Israel’s scattering have been fulfilled literally, so also will be the promises of regathering: Jeremiah 30:3; Jeremiah 31:7-10; Isaiah 14:1-3; Amos 9:14-15). Read more

“The Kirk’s governing body backed calls for a study into how same-sex ceremonies in church could be allowed. The proposal was outlined in a report by the Theological Forum of the Church of Scotland.

It also called for the church to apologise for its “history of discrimination” of gay people.
Convener of the forum, the Very Reverend Iain Torrance, said: “I hope, I pray, we are moving to a different stage in this long argument.

“We can begin perhaps by saying gently to those with whom we have disagreed, I am sorry. That notion of an apology is directly linked to taking this into a non-binary stage and trying to think these pieces differently with a different perception.” Read more….

The other headline that drew my attention was on the Belfast Newsletter site. “Prince Charles’ Royal tribute to 1916 combatants”. The article went on to say: ‘The Prince of Wales has paid tribute to those who fought for Irish freedom in the 1916 Rising.” Prince Charles said it was important to honour the memory of “men and women from all sides whose sacrifice shaped our shared history”. The future king had earlier laid a wreath at a memorial in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin in memory of all those who died in the 1916 rebellion.’ He also met with Sinn Fein/IRA leader, Gerry Adams. Read more

Republished: The things that shall be hereafter.

This book has proved to be a wonderful means of setting forth the Bible’s teaching on prophecy.

It sets forth in chronological order many passages of God’s Word related to the ‘last times’.
The author’s comments are very few. He lets the Bible do the talking.

It is an invaluable asset to the serious student of Bible prophecy.

Just before he died in 1877, Septimus Sears, pastor of Clifton Strict Baptist congregation in Bedfordshire, wrote the following to his church:

“I have endeavoured to learn and teach God’s mind about the future coming and kingdom and glory of the Lord Jesus. In the quiet of this chamber of affliction I am confirmed in the truth of what I believe. I have by Scripture authority preached to you of that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Oh, that we were all more affected graciously and practically by the blessed hope, and that the inspired description given of the members of the early Church might more abundantly fit us: Ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and the true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians 1: 10).

Under the Republic of Ireland’s ‘Defamation Act 2009’, a person who publishes or utters blasphemous material “shall be guilty of an offence”. A conviction can lead to a fine of up to €25,000.

O’Neill (Sinn Fein leader in Northern Ireland) defends role at Loughgall commemoration

Read the ITV report here.

In response to criticism, Michelle O’Neill said: “The Good Friday Agreement affirmed that everyone has a right to remember their dead and that is what I will do when I go to the commemoration.”

It is true that people have a right to remember their dead, BUT, no one has the right to paint criminals and terrorists, bent on murdering policemen doing their duty, as ‘martyrs’ slain in the pursuit of a holy cause. This what Michelle O’Neill did on Lord’s Day April 30th, in company with many hundreds of Roman Catholic supporters.

In truth, the incident highlights the fragile foundation upon which the whole Irish Republican cause is based. The iniquitous accusations of discrimination, of pogrom and of wholesale victimisation against Roman Catholics in Northern Ireland, publicised throughout the world by the allies of Romanism, is as false and tenuous as is Sinn Fein’s claim that the armed men shot by the army at Loughgall 30 years ago were martyrs. The dictionary defines a martyr to be “someone killed for their religious or other beliefs.”

The IRA men that night received what they were intent on inflicting on others.

It cannot be called anything other than justice.


Revealed: why 40,000 Protestants fled Ireland in four years

Read the Newsletter report here.

This really is a forgotten story. Even most Protestants here in Northern Ireland are ignorant of these facts.

This partly because of the Protestant psyche. The Protestant is inclined to put such matters behind them and move on, making the most out of their new circumstances.

The Roman Catholic on the other hand will immediately begin a campaign of complaint, seeking to engender compensation, support, sympathy and above all, revenge!

The campaign by victims of IRA terrorism would likely never have begun if it were not for the offensive and wickedly deceitful campaign by Republicans to have IRA criminals white-washed and declared courageous campaigners for freedom. It is that which provoked and stirred Protestant victims and their families into action.

The Protestant disposition may also be seen in that when our forefathers emigrated to the United States in the mid-1700s, they became ‘Americans’. On the other hand, the Kennedys ands those of that ilk, retained their Irish links and declared themselves “Irish Americans” and told the world of the hardships from which they fled – the potato famine – which they naturally blamed upon the English!

It is a great relief to Christians to know that one day the Lord right all wrongs and declare the truth about events in human history that have been long distorted and warped in order to advance sin.

These and many other Scriptures speak of the work of Christ when He comes again to uncover the lies and deceit under which so many have taken refuge during their lifetime.

“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil,” Ecclesiastes 12:14.

“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment,” Matthew 12:36.

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known,” Luke 12:2.
