The Gradual Deterioration Of Bob Jones University

Proverbs 6:10-11, “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.”

Revelation 3:2, “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.”

I was saddened but not shocked to find this disturbing article...

Bob Jones University drops reference to Catholicism as a 'cult'

by JOE CARROLL | March 16, 2000

The Bob Jones University is no longer calling Catholicism a "cult", one of the charges of anti-Catholic bigotry which embarrassed the Governor of Texas, Mr. George W. Bush, when he went there during his campaign in South Carolina for the Republican presidential nomination.

The fundamentalist university, which has awarded an honorary doctorate to the Rev Ian Paisley, had earlier removed a ban on inter-racial dating following the controversy over Mr. Bush's visit.

His rival for the Republican nomination, Senator John McCain, had rebuked Mr. Bush for not speaking out against the university's anti-Catholic stance and the dating ban.

The president, Bob Jones III, grandson of the founder, surprised the staff and students when he announced in a TV interview several weeks ago that he had ended the ban on inter-racial dating on the campus. However, on the college Website Mr. Jones continued to say that "the diminution of evangelistic enterprise to cults which call themselves Christian, including Catholicism and Mormonism, is frightening".

This passage has now been dropped from the Website. During the controversy, Mr. Jones said in a written response: "If there are those who wish to charge us with being anti-Catholicism, we plead guilty. But we are not Catholic-haters."

Meanwhile, Mr. Bush and Vice-President Al Gore have clinched their White House nominations. Voters in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee put both men over the top for the delegates they need for the nominating conventions in July and August.

"Tonight we can say, mission accomplished," Mr. Bush said at a rally in Austin, Texas, after six southern states voted in the "Super Tuesday" round of primaries and caucuses.

Mr. Bush and Mr. Gore won the delegates after vanquishing their respective rivals, Senator McCain and Senator Bill Bradley.

"With this victory comes a sacred duty. Americans want a leader who will raise our sights. Americans want a president who will keep his oath and his honour. And this is a charge that I will keep," Mr. Bush said.

Mr. Gore, tapping into his greatest strength - the boom economy - said: "We stand at a mountaintop moment in our history."

Mr. Gore was addressing a rally in Florida, a decisive state in the November race, where Mr. Bush's brother, Mr. Jeb Bush, is governor. SOURCE

I think it is a tell-tale sign of the perilous times in which we live, when professed Christians are dipping their sails in sinful compromise. I am reminded of something that Pastor Charles Spurgeon wisely said:

“A little laxity leads to a little complaisance, and this soon leads to a little acceptance of false teaching.” —Pastor Charles Spurgeon, 1887

Proverbs 22:28, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” The ancient landmarks have been removed at BJU because at some point their leaders stopped earnestly contending for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3).

BJU's shameful leaders stopped calling a spade a spade in 2000, refusing to call the Satanic prisonhouse religion of Roman Catholicism what it truly is, a “cult.” Not surprisingly, BJU have themselves also become a cult, now preaching hard core Lordship Salvation. The first step downward into apostasy in any church or Bible college is when they stop contending for the Christian faith. Whatever a pastor stops preaching against is what his church will fill up with within five years. You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything!

Roman Catholic Idolatry

The Haughty Arrogance Of Mankind

Romans 1:28-32, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

The inspired Holy Bible ceases to amaze me, how accurately it describes the human race. We are a troublesome bunch, aren't we. Have you watched the news lately? It is disturbing! Some unwise preachers automatically assume that our text passage of Scripture from Romans chapter one only applies to homosexuals, but it applies to anyone who refuses to acknowledge and glorify God in their life, who have become unthankful toward their Creator.

I have been watching many astronomy documentaries on YouTube. I absolutely love astronomy! It is the study of God's amazing unsearchable greatness (Psalms 145:3). As I was watching a video yesterday, the narrator mentioned Stephen Hawking (1942-2018). He was an English theoretical astrophysicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. Between 1979 and 2009, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, widely viewed as one of the most prestigious academic posts in the world. Sadly, Mr. Hawking was an avowed atheist. It blows my mind how such a brilliant man could be so foolish and wilfully blind. Romans chapter one absolutely includes Stephen Hawking! Professing himself to be wise, he became a fool!

In 100% of the hundreds of astronomy videos that I have watched on YouTube over the years, NOT ONE has bothered to even mention our Creator. Not one video! Ingrates! Neither does NASA, National Geographic, or any of the official "official" experts on the origin of our universe, bother to acknowledge or glorify God our omnipotent Creator. They are ingrates! After all that the good LORD has done for them, they dishonor and ignore Him.

The inspired King James Bible says in Romans 1:28b that “they did not like to retain God in their knowledge.” Why? The people who “glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...” This includes a vast group of humanity extending far beyond the LGBTQ+ community.

Please don't make the ungodly error of only applying Romans chapter one to homosexuals, which is exactly what Pastor Steven Anderson's hateful New IFB (independent fundamental Baptist) movement have done. They claim that LGBTQ+ people are "reprobates" whom God hates and rejects, so they are now beyond the hope of the gospel. Nothing could be further from the truth of God's Word (2nd Peter 3:9). God desires for all men to come to repentance (to change their mind from unbelief to trust Christ).

Only haughty wicked people attempt to explain the origin and workings of our universe without acknowledging our omnipotent Creator who made all things (John 1:1-3).

Alcohol Will Destroy Your Life

Proverbs 20:1, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

The statistics don't lie dear reader. Booze is nothing to mess around with or take lightly.

Excessive alcohol use causes about 178,000 deaths annually in the U.S., with two-thirds from chronic conditions like liver disease and cancer, and one-third from acute incidents like overdoses and accidents. Alcohol-related deaths have increased significantly, with men accounting for 67.1% of these deaths. SOURCE

Booze is becoming a serious problem across the United States...

The death toll has risen 29% in five years

Federal data tracks approximately 178,000 Americans dying from excessive alcohol each year — equivalent to one death every three minutes, around the clock. That toll rose 29% between 2016–17 and 2020–21, climbing from an average of 137,927 annual deaths to 178,307. The pace has accelerated sharply: deaths jumped 23% in the most recent measured period, nearly four times the 5% rate recorded in the prior years.

Women represent the fastest-growing group. Female alcohol-related deaths climbed 35% over this period, outpacing the 27% rise among men.

These deaths are not just premature — they are dramatically premature. On average, each person who dies from excessive alcohol use loses 24 years of potential life. Across the full death toll, that amounts to approximately 4 million years of potential life lost every year in the United States.

The five leading causes are alcohol-associated liver disease, heart disease and stroke, accidental poisonings (including combined alcohol-drug overdoses), falls and crashes, and alcohol-related cancers — particularly colorectal and breast cancer. Alcohol now accounts for 44.5% of all liver disease deaths in the United States, and contributes to roughly 5.6% of all US cancer cases.

Alcohol also plays a significant role in other forms of violent and accidental death. In 2022, alcohol was a factor in approximately 16% of drug overdose deaths, and an estimated 21% of suicide decedents had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10% or higher at the time of death. SOURCE

It is disturbing knowing that 178,000 Americans are still dying each and every year because of alcoholic beverages and yet nothing has been done to stop it. When two teenagers shot up a high school in San Diego a couple weeks ago, over one hundred police officers responded to the incident. The media went into a frenzy. Interviewed neighbours demanded change. Yet, only three people were killed. Why is it that we freak out over three deaths, while totally ignoring the annual death of 178,000 Americans because of Liquid Devil? We're crazy!

The old adage is still true: You cannot take two drinks of beer if you don't take the first.

ChatGPT Thinks A Rock Smashed Into Earth To Form The Moon

1st Timothy 6:20-21, “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.”

If you go to ChatGPT and ask it how the moon was formed, you will get some unbiblical rubbish about a big space rock smashing into the earth billions of years ago. It gets even more bizarre when you ask how the earth was formed and developed over time. ChatGPT told me that asteroids with ice crystals crashed into the planet over billions of years, and as the ice crystals melted the oceans were formed. ChatGPT said that our earth's atmosphere was formed from volcanoes erupting. Seriously, you would have to be a complete fool with a low IQ to believe that fabricated garbage!

Dear reader, what ChatGPT is pushing is NOT SCIENCE! It is just as much RELIGION as the various thousands of religious faiths around the world. By very definition the word religion means: “a system of beliefs.” And likewise, NASA's nonsense that a space rock collided with the earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the moon is nothing more than a bizarre theory. It's all speculation with no significant science to back up their theories. So, it would be very DISOHONEST to call their bogus THEORIES any form of legitimate SCIENCE!

For anything to be deemed “science” it must first be:

1. Testable
2. Observable
3. Verifiable

The bizarre theories of NASA, National Geographic and other science authorities are nothing more than speculation. And yet, university professors and ChatGPT DISHONSTLY teach these unproven speculative theories as if it were FACTUAL SCIENCE. That is evil and deceptive.

I actually got into a disturbing debate with ChatGPT and learned how belligerent, arrogant and ungodly the Artificial Intelligence really is, refusing to back down or be reasoned with concerning how unfairly biased ChatGPT is.

When I pointed out to ChatGPT that it didn't even bother to mention the possibility that God made the earth and moon (which is what the inspired Holy Bible teaches in Genesis chapter one), ChatGPT became defensive and said that it "infers intent" of a user, essentially assuming that most readers want a scientific instead of theological answer. But I contended with ChatGPT using the same factual reasoning that I just shared with you, that the bizarre officially accepted “theories” of the earth's and moon's origin is at absolute best speculation. So, it is unfair to call it a “scientific answer” when it is no more factual than religion.

Yet, in it's programmed haughty arrogance by ungodly heathen engineers, ChatGPT refuses to tell sincere truth-seekers THE TRUTH that God created the universe unless you specifically mention God in your query. That is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Clearly, ChatGPT is sadly biased with manmade ideologies and preferences. And yet ChatGPT still vehemently insists that it does not have any beliefs or opinions of its own. Either ChatGPT is lying or else the people who created it have implemented their ungodly prejudices and opinions into the technology, because ChatGPT is definitely opinionated and biased.

When I asked ChatGPT about the two undetonated explosive devices found in 1995 in the Alfred P. Murray building in Oklahoma City, ChatGPT denied that there were any found explosives. One bomb went off, but the other two even larger bombs didn't. The bogus official government story is that a Ryder rental truck filled with fertilizer exploded in front of the building. I showed ChatGPT this actual news video from OKC in 1995, but ChatGPT dismissed the video, saying that my Jesus-is-Savior.com ministry website is a mere “conspiratorial website.” Whoa! Clearly, ChatGPT is biased to cover-up THE TRUTH.

When I asked ChatGPT about the missing $2.3 trillion from the Pentagon, the A.I. actually dismissed it as accounting errors and sloppy book keeping practices. Right! I can see a couple million missing perhaps for those reasons, but not over $2,300,000,000,000. THIEVES!!!

ChatGPT also denies that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB, but anyone who has done their homework KNOWS that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB. The Bush Administration not only had prior knowledge, they helped orchestrate the 9/11 attacks. Vietnam Veteran and 32-year retired NYFD investigator Rudy Dent KNOWS that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB that murdered 343 of his firefighter brethren!!! I THANK GOD for His solemn promise in Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.” The Clintons, Bush family and their evil accomplices may be above the law here on earth, but they are NOT above God's justice! There will be a day of reckoning to avenge all Americans for the evil deeds done on 9/11!!! God sees it all.

ChatGPT is a very helpful tool, but you need to always keep in mind that it is a part of this evil world, programmed by heathens with worldly biases and is; therefore, an enemy of the Kingdom of God and the cause of Jesus Christ. Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The insane idea that somehow ChatGPT's ridiculous tommyrot that a rock smashed into the earth to form the moon is respectable legitimate science, but the truth of the Holy Bible that God created all things is only for religious people, is evil to the core!!! ChatGPT clearly demonstrates that the world is the sworn enemy of God.

Here is an excellent quote from Pastor E.M. Bounds (1835-1913):

'The world' includes the mass of humanity that is alienated from God and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ. It involves worldly affairs, earthly things, riches, pleasures, and pursuits that are shallow, frail, and fleeting. These things stir desire, draw us away from God, and are obstacles to the cause of Christ. The divorced or torn relationships between heaven and earth, between God and His creatures, finds its expression in the term 'the world.'” —Pastor Edward M. Bounds, a quote from chapter 7 - Overcoming The Enemy Of God, from the classic book titled: “GUIDE TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE”

Wow, I couldn't have said it any better myself: “The world' includes the mass of humanity that is alienated from God and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ.”

Ephesians 4:17-21, “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus.”

That passage of Scripture perfectly describes ChatGPT.

Many Women Today Don't Even Know What Sexual Harassment Means

Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”

I am really starting to hate social media. I learned a long time ago that everything is a double-edged sword in life, including the internet. From a positive viewpoint, the internet has allowed Christians like me to exponentially reach people with the truth for the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, from a negative viewpoint, I have never seen so much hateful slander, lies and attempts by wicked people to destroy other people's lives.

Case in point is famous actor Jerry Lewis (1926-2017). Like the rest of us, Jerry Lewis was a guilty sinner and he made a lot of unwise decisions in his life. We are all guilty of sin! If you deny that, you need to get saved before it is too late (1st John 1:8-10). No one is going to Heaven who denies being a guilty sinner. The main reason for Christ coming into the world and dying on a cross was to redeem humanity from sin and Hell. Sadly, it does not appear that Mr. Lewis was a born again Christian at the time of his death. During his first marriage to Patti Palmer for 36 years (1944-1980), her Catholic faith dominated the family. Catholicism is a prisonhouse of religion without salvation. When asked about his beliefs at the end of his life, Jerry said that “Religion is in the heart.” That is a far cry from faith in Jesus Christ.

I read this week after CNN mogul Ted Turner (1938-2026) died that he didn't want to go to Hell, so he changed from being an atheist to agnostic (i.e., not sure what you believe). Sadly, that is not enough to save a man! John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Getting back to Jerry Lewis, I was doing some research today into the actor's life and was disturbed by some things that I read on Wikipedia (no surprise there). After Jerry passed away in 2017, several women have come forward claiming sexual harassment, some allegations going back as far as 60 YEARS AGO!!! We are living in “perilous times” today (2nd Timothy 3:1-7), in what I call the “blame generation.” It seems that everybody (especially women) want to be a victim of someone famous these days.

But sadly, many women don't even know what sexual harassment means anymore. Case in point is this ridiculous slander on Wikipedia...

In 2024, the Brazilian actress Bianca Rinaldi revealed on a podcast an incident of harassment by Lewis when she was a teenager and Paquita (Xuxa's TV show assistant) in the early 90s at the international Emmy awards. "I asked: 'What happened?' She (Xuxa) replied: 'He was looking at your butt. Come on, a girl! I went to talk to him so he wouldn't keep looking,'" She stated. Wikipedia

Bianca Rinaldi didn't even know that Jerry Lewis was (allegedly) looking at her butt. That is NOT sexual harassment!!! If she caught him doing it, and told him to please stop gawking at her, and he kept doing it anyway, that could be construed as “sexual harassment.” But Bianca wouldn't even have known that a man was admiring her sexy caboose, if her co-worker hadn't told her about it. This is ungodly slander, trying to tear down the name and reputation of a man. Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”

I have noticed that whenever some bad news comes out in the media about a person (famous or not), the ungodly social media cockroaches come out of their crevices to jump on the bandwagon. I hate our rotten American media with a passion! Any time that someone is accused of committing a crime, the media immediately runs to the man's neighbours, friends, co-workers and family in an attempt to dig up more dirt to add to their pile of manure, and then spread it everywhere in society. The American media are the ultimate Pharisaical hypocrites!

I also have read numerous websites that wrongfully attempt to demonize Jerry Lewis for not leaving anything in his will to his four sons from his previous marriage to Patti Palmer. She divorced Jerry in 1980 after 36 years of marriage (allegedly due to his infidelities with other women). The court awarded Patti $450,000 a year in alimony! So, why would Jerry leave anything to the four sons from his first marriage, when their mother got far more than she deserved? I would have done exactly what Mr. Lewis did, leaving everything to his second wife of 34 years who stayed faithfully by his side until death (as a godly wife does)? If those four boys didn't get any money after Jerry died in 2017, that is their mother's responsibility and fault, not their father's whom she threw under the bus and abandoned!

I felt sick today when I read Wikipedia's slander about Jerry Lewis. It is unbelievable that anybody can literally maliciously say anything about anyone and it becomes as factual information on Wikipedia, which erroneously their owners claim to be a reliable source of information. Wikipedia is full of lies, false information and hateful slander, connecting dots that don't exist to tear down the names of good people and godly pastors like Dr. Jack Hyles.

And I'll tell you something else, it will be a cold day in Hell before I ever donate a single penny to a wicked, slanderous, poop-machine like Wikipedia!!!

McDonald's Is Pricing Themselves Out Of Business

I rarely eat at McDonald's anymore because of their insanely high prices. But I was craving a Big Mac the other day, so I stopped by McDonalds's and they charged me $8.69 for one Big Mac! THAT'S CRAZY!

Later that day at home I was watching a YouTube video and saw a Dominoes ad for only $7.99 for an ENTIRE LARGE PIZZA! Good night! Just one Big Mac costs more today than an ENTIRE LARGE PIZZA!

I remember back in the 1980's that you could regularly buy 2 Big Macs for $2. That was a great deal! As McDonald's prices continue to soar into the stratosphere like NASA's Saturn 5 rocket, I'm eating there less and less. I foresee McDonald's filing for bankruptcy down the road. People are not going to continue to get ripped off!

But I'll still eat their McRib sandwich in December during Christmas.

The Disturbing Flat Earther And Geocentricity Camp

Isaiah 40:22, “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.”

The inspired King James Bible plainly calls the earth a “circle.” It is difficult for any thinking sane person to understand how someone in 2026, with all of our advanced sciences and wealth of knowledge today, could actually still believe that the earth is flat and motionless.

I humbly think the reason why so many people refuse to concede that the earth is not flat, and that the earth does move through space, is simply because once someone decides that they believe something, they then look for every way possible to justify their decision. This is sinful human nature, to deny the truth in plain sight.

It couldn't have been more obvious that Jesus was the promised Messiah when He came to earth 2,000 years ago (by all the impossible miracles that He did), but the wicked Pharisees and Jews still rejected Him anyway in their arrogance and stiffnecked sinful pride.

In the Garden of Eden, Eve had already decided to eat the forbidden fruit, but then she rationalized to find three seemingly good reasons to justify her decision. In nearly every case, people don't do what they do for any particular reason; but rather, they do what they want to do and then look for reasons to justify it.

So, even when you show flat earthers and Geocentrists factual irrefutable science, they pompously still deny the undeniable truth and want to debate facts, wresting the inspired Holy Bible in a lame attempt to prove their utter nonsense. They are truly foolish people.

Here are some good applicable quotes for flat earthers:

“Beliefs are what we hold to be true; facts are what we know to be true.”

“To be persuaded by facts is one thing, to change your beliefs is another.”

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
