Why People Are So Easily Deceived

John 8:45, “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”

Our text Bible verse is amazing! Our Lord Jesus Christ told His Jewish audience that the reason why they wouldn't believe Him, is because HE WAS TELLING THEM THE TRUTH. Think about that! Why oh why would a person, or group of people, not want to believe someone who is telling them THE TRUTH? Volumes of books have been written on this very subject. Human beings are a strange bunch indeed.

While researching today I found an interesting website called GRethexis, which is dedicated to promoting the values of the ancient Greek world, to benefit our everyday life in these modern times. In an article titled, “Why Do People Believe In Lies So Easily?,” the author gives the following reasons (I agree completely with all of them):
5 Reasons Why People So Easily Believe Lies:
  1. THEY LIKE BEING FLATTERED
  2. THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE
  3. SOMEONE THEY TRUST SAID IT
  4. TRUTH SCARES THEME. Even the most gullible ones, have some doubts from time to time, most likely, when the same person has fooled them dozens of times. But even when that happens, they do everything they can to overcome these doubts and suspicions. Why is that? Because, when they start examining facts and arguments, there is a chance they’ll prove that they have wrongly believed in lies and liars all that time. Making peace with this awkward truth is a lot of trouble, and they know it. To hell then with clues and evidence! They don’t want to get in the uncomfortable state of disenchantment, of accepting that their expectations were faulty. That they have been tricked. They’ll keep believing this crook. As a financially dependent wife would do with her husband; she’ll keep believing he was on a business trip even when she sees the red marks on his shirt.
  5. THEY HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. Research has shown that people tend to avoid information that contradicts their beliefs or way of thinking. And this can be done in two ways, actively and passively. Actively means that they will choose which articles to read, to ignore the speech of a politician they don’t support, and generally to select the information they will consume. Passively means re-interpreting the information you receive if it runs counter your beliefs, judging it or adapting it to match your opinion so that you won’t have to doubt your own thinking. Opting for information that corresponds to your own views is easy and safe. People, who want the illusion of safety, build an impervious wall around them blocking all information that could question their opinion. [emphasis added]
I lieu of the preceding accurate information, I am particularly reminded of today's raging battle in the churches over the inspiration and purity of the Word of God. Today's average churchgoer is extremely naïve, gullible and indifferent toward THE TRUTH. I included some expanded quotes for reasons 4 and 5 above, because these reasons in particular apply to the tens-of-millions of deceived churchgoers worldwide, who've bought into the Devil's lie of the modern Bible PERversions. The Devil is the father of the corrupt Alexandrian Greek manuscripts, upon which nearly every new Bible revisions has been horribly translated.

Think about it, if you were the Devil, wouldn't you do everything in your power to corrupt, change and remove the Word of God from the lives of men? Sure you would, and Satan has been doing his darndest for millenniums to rid the world of the inspired Word of God. If Satan can't totally eradicate the Holy Bible, then he tries to ban it. If Satan can't ban the Holy Bible, then he tries to change and corrupt it. And if Satan cannot eliminate or corrupt the Word of God, then he leads men to question it... “Yea, hath God said?” (Genesis 3:1b).

There are churchgoers all across the world, who are afraid to seek the truth and act upon it, so they avoid the truth, choosing rather to go along to get along with bad pastors, counterfeit Bible versions, a false gospel and a lukewarm apostate church:
“Because, when they start examining facts and arguments, there is a chance they’ll prove that they have wrongly believed in lies and liars all that time. Making peace with this awkward truth is a lot of trouble, and they know it. To hell then with clues and evidence! They don’t want to get in the uncomfortable state of disenchantment, of accepting that their expectations were faulty. That they have been tricked.”

And so sadly, multitudes of Bible colleges and churches have been deceived by the Devil, voluntarily. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof.” Today's horrible churches are just as much to blame as today's horrible pastors. If your church hires a false prophet, or a shady character who straddles-the-fence doctrinally, then you get what you deserve... A LAODICEAN CHURCH!!! (Revelation 3:15-16).

Books could be written, and have been written, concerning the five preceding reasons why people so easily believe lies. Point 5 really hits home...
“Research has shown that people tend to avoid information that contradicts their beliefs or way of thinking. And this can be done in two ways, actively and passively.”

Yes Sir, that is absolutely true! It is in our stubborn human nature to resist change, and that includes resistance to accept THE TRUTH. John 8:45, “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” Many of the Jews in the New Testament believed on Christ, but were afraid of the Pharisees, lest they be excommunicated for associating with the name of Jesus (John 12:42-43). The truth scared them. The Lord Jesus introduced truths into the wayward Jewish culture that went contrary to the salvation by works message of the Pharisees (Romans 10:3-4). Jesus wasn't teaching some new strange doctrine, for Moses and all the prophets foretold of Christ's coming. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”

The Lord's truth telling contradicted the heresy being taught by the unsaved, self-righteous, Pharisees and Sadducees. And for speaking THE TRUTH, the Jews believed Him not (John 8:45). They believed Him not for fear of suffering reproach for the name of Jesus. They only heard what they wanted to hear. They looked up to the Pharisees, trusting them, because they were the official teachers over Israel. The people didn't want to be outside the gate with Jesus, so they didn't believe the Lord. Likewise, churchgoers today (I fear most are unsaved because of the heresy of Lordship Salvation), don't want suffer persecution for the name of Jesus. They don't want to be put outside the gate with the Lord. They don't want to be ridiculed and labeled as being part of that “King James Bible ONLY cult.”

Bless God, I'm eternally grateful for the King James Bible, and if that makes me part of a cult, then so be it. My friend, think about how silly the accusation of being in a “cult” is. God only wrote ONE BIBLE! Does that make me a cult member for sincerely believing that God has preserved that ONE BOOK, as He promised to do in Psalms 12:6-7? Of course not. In Psalms 12:6-7, God promised to preserve His very pure Word unto every generation. Check and you will see, that EVERY modern Alexandrian-based Bible version, changes Psalm 12:7 to errantly say that God preserves the saints instead of His very pure words. This is gross theological incompetence in the modern PERversions!!! The ugly truth is that in order to obtain a legal copyright from the U.S. government, so they can sell their new corrupt version, they MUST make numerous changes which differ substantially from all existing Bible versions. You can easily verify what I say by searching through the various versions available online, seeing how they all slightly (and oftentimes drastically) alter God's Word. They corrupt God's Word, handling the Word of God deceitfully, for filthy lucre's sake.


Building Up a Wall of Resistance Against the Truth

Again, books could be written concerning the five preceding reasons why people so easily believe LIES. How strange it is that pastors, churches and Bible colleges are amongst THE MOST DECEIVED group of people in the world today:
“Research has shown that people tend to avoid information that contradicts their beliefs or way of thinking. And this can be done in two ways, actively and passively.”

This is why the lukewarm Moody Bible Institute and Bob Jones University camp today won't stand for the purity of God's Word. They promote and even sell two different, contradictory Greek texts (i.e., the Textus Receptus verses the Alexandrian text). Folks, God only authored ONE BOOK!!! Bob Jones and Moody are selling and supporting Bibles from TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES!!! The man with two watches never knows what time it is. How can you know the score in a ballgame if there are four different scores? Likewise, the man with two Bibles DOESN'T know what the truth is. I've had numerous professed Christians from the Bob Jones camp scold me for telling THE TRUTH!!! They believe me not because I am telling them THE TRUTH. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”

Respectfully, why won't Bob Jones University, their president and their graduates seek and tell THE TRUTH? Why won't Moody Bible Institute seek and tell THE TRUTH? Why won't Baylor University seek and tell THE TRUTH? Why won't the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary seek and tell THE TRUTH? I could name a thousand apostate religious institutions. It is for the 5 preceding reasons. They blindly trust their mentors, pastors and college professors, going along with what they hear taught, regarding not THE TRUTH. They are afraid of being ostracized and shunned away by peers for straying from the common consensus (the herd mentality). The following quote, which is from the 5 reasons stated earlier, has Bob Jones University and their graduate's names written all over it...
“Opting for information that corresponds to your own views is easy and safe. People, who want the illusion of safety, build an impervious wall around them blocking all information that could question their opinion.”

I couldn't have said it better myself. That is why I have been excommunicated, shunned and driven away by a local independent Baptist church on Guam (aka, the Bob Jones crowd) since 2014, after I handed the senior pastor the TRUTHFUL book by Dr. Al Lacy titled, “NIV: The Antichrist's Bible!” Boy, that opened a Pandora's Box!!!

I know the Lord is proud of me, and will reward ands honor me in eternity; but the Bob Jones crowd will be put to shame, lose their rewards, be rebuked and be punished for being false witnesses! Proverb 19:5, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.”

(awesome 1:46 hour movie by Pastor Steven Anderson)

(a .pdf book, Dr. Peter S. Ruckman)
“And brother, any time anybody ever casts any reflection upon the accuracy and the inspiration—verbal inspiration—of this Bible, I'll guarantee you he was inspired by the demons. I'll guarantee you! I don't care if he's got a 'reverend' in front of his name. I don't care if he has a clerical collar on. I don't care what school he's been to. He's of the Devil if he says that the Bible is not verbally inspired by God!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, a great quote from the awesome MP3 sermon titled, “Satan's masterpiece.”
BATTLE OF THE AGES
(MP3 by Dr. Hyles, “The King James Bible crowd is going to come out on top!”)


Most independent Baptist churches errantly deny the inspiration of the King James Bible. Instead they ignorantly claim that ONLY the original autographs of the Scriptures were inspired by God, and at best today we only have a preserved copy that is less than perfect). Since there are NO original autographs available today, effectively they are claiming that we do not have the VERY PURE words of God almighty! Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.”

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” —Mark Twain

Most preachers quote 2nd Corinthians 4:4 about Satan being the god of this evil world and blinding the unsaved, but they overlook the first few verses that warn against DECEITFULLY HANDLING THE WORD OF GOD. The Alexandrian-based Bible versions, which include nearly every modern Bible revision, DECEITFULLY HANDLE THE WORD OF GOD!!! They corrupt it! They change it! They alter it! And then they sell it to make money off their nefarious deeds:
2nd Corinthians 4:1-4, “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Are you seeing it my friend? The Devil has effectively BLINDED THE MINDS of unbelievers, with the corrupting new Bible versions that pervert the Gospel, to hinder them from being saved. Many tares have crept into the churches, trying to convince everyone that the Devil's Bible versions still contain the Gospel, but THEY DON NOT!!! Please read my recent article, “The Fallacy of Thinking People Can Be Saved Through the Modern Alexandrian Bible Versions.” If you are dumb, the Devil has a new Bible version for you too!!!

Proverb 19:5, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.” The yuppie-type corrupt Bob Jones crowd will be held accountable by God, for promoting corruptible seed (i.e., Alexandrian fake Bible versions), and for tolerating the Devil's lies (i.e., Alexandrian theology; such as, Lordship Salvation), and for pulling on the same rope as the Devil. While pseudo independent Baptists from the Bob Jones and Moody camp court their darling false prophets, like Ravi Zacharias, John MacArthur and Stephen Davey, I am shunned and mistreated as an enemy because I am telling THE TRUTH. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Proverb 19:5, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.”
“Brother Castle, do you believe the King James translators were inspired?
No, they were led. The words were already inspired.” —Pastor Danny Castle, a quote from the needful MP3 sermon, Lets Get Our hearts Right!

(awesome KJB defense by Dr. Ruckman)

“If America does not wake up, her tombstone will read, 'She died because her pastors substituted visions, prophecies, dreams, man’s words, and tongues for the Words of God.'” —Dr. Bob Gray Sr., “Do We Have An Every Word Bible In 2017?”


“You'd be shocked if you knew, how the versions of the Bible that are coming out, which are so unnecessary and not even Bible—You'd be shocked if you knew what they're doing to cause Christian people to feel subconsciously unstable! You'd be shocked if you knew what it's doing to the nervous system of our people—All these Bibles!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, MP3 sermon, Don't Chase The Pendulum (1986).
“Every word in this Bible is inspired by God almighty!” —Dr. Jack Hyles (a great quote from the classic sermon, “A Friend At Midnight.”)
Psalms 116:15, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”
“The only inspired Words of God are in the King James Bible!” —Dr. Jack Hyles (an awesome quote —Dr. Jack Hyles (THE REAL BATTLE!”)
The Alexandrian Cult Exposed
(MP3 by Dr. Peter Ruckman, 1921-2016)

For emphasis I'd like to reiterate a couple truths from the preceding helpful article on why people are so easily deceived:
“Research has shown that people tend to avoid information that contradicts their beliefs or way of thinking. And this can be done in two ways, actively and passively.”

This explains why the Bob Jones crowd and their graduates turn a deaf ear toward truth-tellers like me, who have nobly befriended them with THE TRUTH. Not too long ago, I was listening to the religious radio station of a local independent Baptist church (they employee several dozen BJU graduates in their religious school with about 1,000 students). I heard a guest evangelist, Tom Ferrell, teach that a friend helps a friend to see. Ironically, those hypocritical pastors (of that same church) kicked me out the door, and have shunned me away since 2014, because of my King James Bible ONLY stance. They literally called me and Dr. Jack Hyles and Dr. Al Lacy, “a cult” for preaching against the Alexandrian Bible PERversions. In February of 2017, the senior pastor referred to me as one of their “enemies” in an e-mail. THOSE SHAMEFUL PASTORS ARE THE ENEMIES OF GOD!!!
THE BATTLE OF THE AGES (MP3, Dr. Hyles; The Alexandrian Bible crowd are God's enemies!)
They are of the Devil. GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!!! GET BEHIND ME YOU SATANIC BOB JONES CROWD!!! GET BEHIND ME YOU SATANIC BAPTIST PASTORS, WHO ARE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND. You will all fall into the ditch!!! ...
“Research has shown that people tend to avoid information that contradicts their beliefs or way of thinking. And this can be done in two ways, actively and passively. ... Opting for information that corresponds to your own views is easy and safe. People, who want the illusion of safety, build an impervious wall around them blocking all information that could question their opinion.”

Churches (including independent Baptists) worldwide are afraid to learn THE TRUTH, because then they are obligated to act upon that truth. Baptists today are like the immature chief rulers, who believed on Jesus but DID NOT CONFESS HIM, for fear of being shunned, persecuted and rejected by the Pharisees (i.e., the popular religious crowd - See John 12:42-43). It requires nothing to go along to get along with ecumenical apostasy. There's no price to pay for selling out! Compromisers make more money! Sellouts have no real enemies. I am the BEST FRIEND that corrupted independent Baptists have, because I AM TELLING THEM THE TRUTH!!! The Bob Jones University and Northland Baptist Bible College crowd hate me, despise me, shun me away and ridicule me for SPEAKING THE TRUTH; but the Lord Jesus Christ is very pleased with me for STANDING ALONE against them (which is emotionally painful to do). Ephesians 6:13, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

I wrote some heartfelt poetry today (July 6, 2017) for the Bob Jones University and Northland Baptist Bible College crowd:
While I suffer reproach for Jesus' name, they loaf on their spiritual couch in shame;
While I pray for those men the truth to search, they are merely playing church.
While they prosper in their lukewarm disgrace, I am faithfully running the race;
While I earnestly contend for the faith, they foolishly spit in God's face!

SOURCE: a heartfelt truthful poem by David J. Stewart; July 6, 2017
I like that poem, because it is THE TRUTH!!! Any religious college or church that supports the corrupt Alexandrian Bible versions (i.e., all modern perverted Bible revisions) is pulling on the same rope as the Devil, helping hinder men from believing THE GOSPEL!!!

Have you believed a lie my friend? Where do you fit into the equation? How do the FIVE reasons given for, “Why People Are So Easily Deceived,” relate to you? There is NOTHING more important than THE TRUTH. John 18:37, “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto THE TRUTH. Every one that is of THE TRUTH heareth my voice” [emphasis added]. I am of THE TRUTH!!! I hear the Lord's VOICE because I am OF THE TRUTH!!! John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” [emphasis added]. Today's shallow churchgoers, shameful pastors, apostate religious institutions, sinister ministers, preacher's cemeteries and evangelists of doom, are not OF THE TRUTH. The King James Bible ONLY crowd are OF THE TRUTH!!! The easy-believism crowd are OF THE TRUTH!!! The faithful believers who expose the satanic Alexandrian Bible versions are OF THE TRUTH!!! The faithful Christians who refute the Devil's heresy of Lordship Salvation are OF THE TRUTH!!!

The sad TRUTH is that churchgoers and pastors today WANT TO BE DECEIVED. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof.” Where are the 7,000 faithful knees who have not bowed to Baal today? It's Time To Come Out Of The Closet! (awesome MP3 sermon by Dr. Hyles). The King James Bible is under relentless attack, where are the 7,000??? Have you been deceived? Have you believed a lie?

CEDARS-SINAI: ONE OF THE WORST HOSPITALS!

Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

BAD EMPLOYEES CAN HURT YOUR BUSINESS!

I was abused and mistreated at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles in 2009. I underwent Cervical Discectomy And Fusion surgery at C5-C6-C7. The hospital abandoned me after surgery. They stuck me in a taxi-cab, after the Guam liaison nurse (Donna Bias) informed me that doing so was against hospital policy. She picked me up and drove me to the hospital to get my surgery, but then cruelly abandoned me after surgery, which resulted in me ending up back in the hospital (because the cab driver gunned the gas pedal to zoom into traffic and my head lunged back). Because of Miss Bias I suffered horribly that night, crying in pain at the hotel in West Hollywood. I couldn't get a hold of anybody at the hospital, except answering machines. Finally reached Donna Bias and she told me to go to the Emergency Room (ER), which I did. I needed treatment for unbearable neck pain.

It was just after sunset. When I arrived by taxi-cab at the Cedars-Sinai ER, they wouldn't treat my pain unless I signed financial forms, obligating me to pay them. If you've ever dealt with hospitals, you know how they can be thugs when it comes to billing and collection. Donna Bias had told me 30 minutes earlier to let them know at the ER to CALL HER right away (because worker's compensation was entirely responsible for the bills). The ER refused to call her. They were thugs! The medical staff were a group of Caucasian yuppie brats, behaving shamefully and without respect for others. Some punk male nurse stuck his chest in my face, contending that you wouldn't mail a letter without a stamp on it. About 5-6 medical staff were present, sitting on the butts behind the ER counter. Shannon was the head nurse in charge. It hadn't even been 48 hours since my neck surgery. I still had my IV tape on my wrist from surgery. I was still wearing my hospital identification band. I was wearing my neck brace (surgical collar). While the male punk nurse was arguing at me, his co-workers joined in, berating me and telling me why they wouldn't treat my pain unless I signed the financial forms. They kept calling it a “consent” form, but I read it, and it was also a financial form. Monsters!

I called my pre-operation doctor, Dr. Davidson, and he said the ER staff were breaking the law by not treating me. I handed the phone to nurse Shannon, but she became visibly angry and refused to talk to Dr. Mark Davidson. Then in anger she yelled at me, agitated and emotionally worked up. I finally just walked out the door. This ordeal had lasted for about 20 minutes. Cedar-Sinai's punk staff abused me verbally and refused to treat my pain after surgery (at their hospital). One of the voluntary workers (who are the ONLY people at Cedars-Sinai who actually cared) came up while I was leaving, looking like she was ready to cry, asking what was wrong, and I told her how I had been abused and denied medical treatment. The volunteers aren't medical staff and have no authority to correct any problems. Cedars-Sinai has 10,000 people on staff. Unfortunately, I met many of the negligent ones!

After my surgery, I was still bleeding (where they removed the catheter from my private area). I told doctor Davidson that I wasn't ready to leave, but he didn't care. The nurses didn't care. I still had a stabbing pain in my chest, in the sternum area. They gave me some medication for that, but I again told them I wasn't ready to be discharged. It has only been 24 hours since my discectomy an fusion surgery, but they couldn't have cared less about my request to remain in the hospital for another day or two until the chest pain, bleeding and dizziness went away. I told one of my male nurses that I felt dizzy. He asked me twice if I could walk, dismissing my complaint that I was dizzy. He couldn't have cared less. The following is the ugly truth about Cedars-Sinai Hospital (where they killed actor Bill Paxton (1955-2017), go search the internet about what Cedars-Sinai Hospital did to kill Bill!!!

Before my surgery, nurse Donna Bias had boasted of the hospital's lowest hospital stay after surgery. What that unfortunately means is that they have every incentive to throw you out of their hospital after surgery, whether you are ready to be discharged or not. I am fully convinced that if I had been a Hollywood actor (like George Clooney) or a wealthy Jewish person, they never would have put me out in the street (literally putting me into a taxicab the day after major neck surgery). Monsters! God will avenge me of their evil on Judgment Day (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:39; Romans 14:10-12; James 4:12). God will make them care! I filed a big complaint with the California Medical Board against Cedars-Sinai in 2010, against several of their incompetent doctors and staff, but after three months of sitting on their asses they did absolutely nothing! The Medical Board of the state of California literally sent me a letter after 90-days asking me if I still really wanted to file a complaint. I was frustrated and felt helpless. I've been violated by Cedars Sinai Medical Center and there is nothing that I can do! CALIFORNIA IS VERY CORRUPT!!! If you don't believe me, search online about police abuse in California, and state corruption, and financial scams. Cedar-Sinai is no better in my opinion!

If there's one area of your business where you ought to have a friendly, understanding, and cool temperament person, it's in your Customer Service or Quality Improvement Department. I flew 6,000 miles from Guam to Cedars-Sinai, just to be mistreated. As mentioned, I underwent neck surgery in 2009 at CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER in Los Angeles, California. They abandoned, abused and mistreated me as a patient while I was there. I wrote a 14-page complaint letter to both their administrative department and Quality Improvement Office. They couldn't have cared less. Their complaint department attempted to send me a form apology letter. I told them that I can buy them too, by the box full. Form apology letters don't mean crap! I kindly requested a personal apology from an actual person, particularly the ER night manager, but Cedars-Sinai refused. No one cared! No one was in charge that gave a damn! The woman on the phone was mean in Customer Service was uncaring, defensive and belligerent.

I specifically requested to speak with a manager because of the severity of the issues involved—like mistakenly switching my surgical paperwork with another patient before surgery, and their security guard rifling through my personal wallet like it was his own without my permission (I felt like I was being raped), and abandoning me after surgery. After the cab driver gunned the gas pedal, I was in horrible pain. As I mentioned, I went to the ER that night on Thursday, but they refused to help me over a financial form. They didn't give a damn who Donna Bias was, even though she worked for the hospital as one of their nurses, (she convinced me to trust them by coming from Guam to Cedars in the first place to get my neck surgery). She totally abandoned me after surgery! I certainly would never recommended that anyone on Guam get surgery done at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

On Friday, the next day, the hospital (Cedars-Sinai) had to x-ray my neck to see if my head lunging backward in the taxicab loosened any of the surgical hardware (I have a titanium plate and 6 surgical screws in my neck). I was readmitted into Cedars-Sinai on Friday. On Saturday my neck pain was excruciating and unbearable. I pleaded for more pain medication, but the doctor was GONE FOR THE WEEKEND. They refused to treat my pain. They couldn't reach the doctor. No one cared! No one gave a damn! I told the volunteer workers (all they do is sing to patients to make them feel better), but the two female singers said they had no power to do anything. What irony, the hospital provides singers while abandoning you to suffer in unbearable pain. I wouldn't send my dog to Cedars-Sinai!!! I got up to leave the hospital, but the nurse threatened me that she would call security, and I would have to sign a disclaimer that protected the hospital from any liability. Monsters! I suffered in pain for 2-days in the hospital after my surgery with no doctor to treat my pain. It was horribly unbelievable! Cedars-Sinai Hospital dropped the ball repeatedly. What a crappy hospital! Romans 12:19, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Again, I had requested a verbal, person-to-person, apology from one of their administrators, and not just some generic template letter that said, “too bad, so sad, blah, blah, blah.” Dr. Neel Anand did my surgery, and Dr. Mark Davidson did my pre-op, and Dr. Rebecca Rosemann did my post-op. None of them cared enough to look into any of these issues. They didn't care at all!

When I hadn't heard from any manager from Cedars-Sinai for a month, I called and spoke with Julie in their Quality Improvement Department (what a waste of time). She didn't listen to what I had to say, cutting the conversation short, because she said she needed to get information from the employees. She never called me back. Monsters!

It's just no way to treat a patient. I flew 6,000 miles to get surgery and they treated me badly. As a concerned consumer, I strongly believe in word-of-mouth. Nothing frustrates me more than big businesses today who treat the little guy like garbage. That's what's wrong with America today. My experience is that if a business will mistreat one person, they'll mistreat others. I want to warn people about what I went through. They tried to send me some generic template apology letter, which I refused. I told them not to send me such a letter, because it was an insult. The issues involved were too serious and they had never given me an adequate say. From day one I requested to talk with a human being, a manager, about the issues that happened; but they didn't care.

Two-months latter Julie calls me to ask if I got the letter. I told her that I had asked to speak with a manager. She became belligerent and said that she was going to close my complaint case. I said, "and you're not going to apologize?" She said, "Why should I, you refused the letter." I explained that I had repeatedly requested to discuss the issues with a manager (which she is not). She refused to apologize. After all the grief they caused me, she wouldn't even apologize (and she works in their Quality Improvement Department). That's pretty bad.

They are so arrogant at Cedars-Sinai Hospital that not one person had the decency, nor maturity, to call me and apologize like an adult. They acted like a bunch of brats. They'd rather send some generic template letter, than deal with the patient directly. That's not good business.

And moreover, they refused to allow me to speak with a manager about all the issues. I laid there in their hospital suffering in agonizing pain for 2-days without proper pain medication, because their doctor vanished for the weekend. That's patient abandonment. Is it too much to ask to speak with the manager over that department, or the hospital manager, and to expect a personal apology? I guess so.

If Julie had just been an adult, and apologized, and took some time to hear my side of the story further, I would have been satisfied. But instead, she chose to antagonize me, refusing to apologize over the phone, saying she'd closed the case, even though I was not satisfied with the hospital's inadequate response to my complaints. She couldn't have cared less.

You know, one person can really hurt your business, let along several bad employees!

I WAS ABUSED BY A HOSPITAL SECURITY GUARD AT CEDARS-SINAI

I was being prepped for surgery. I had called Dr. Rebecca Rosemann and asked if what to do with my wallet, whether I needed an ID, et cetera. She said to bring my wallet and ID and that the hospital would put it securely in a safe during my surgery. What she didn't tell me is that some thug security guard would violate my person and privacy, emptying my wallet piece-by-piece, writing every item of content down. I felt like I was being raped. The operating room technicians had already put about 40 wires on my body, preparing the monitoring equipment for surgery. When I was married, my wife wouldn't even go into my wallet, because she felt awkward going into my personal stuff. That is how she felt. She respected my person. That is the way we ought to treat each other.

The ungodly Caucasian security guard at Cedars-Sinai didn't ask for my permission. He just opened my wallet and started removing items, one by one. What a selfish person! As he would remove and look at the dozens of cards and items, he would sometimes look at me, like he was analyzing each item and forming an opinion. I was being prepped for surgery, so my brain wasn't as aware as I normally would have been. I had never been in a situation like that before. I am still hurt and upset about what happened. I love God's promise in Matthew 7:1-2 and verse 12, to judge men according to how they treat others. I pray for God to avenge me of that wicked insensitive security guard. No doubt he would say he was just “doing his job,” like Herod's henchman who murdered thousands of innocent little children (they were just doing their job too!).

At a minimum, the guard should have asked for my permission, and explained to me what he was required to do, not just rape me! I was sitting right there, fully conscious, and he could have shown me a little respect. Instead, in typical thug guard fashion, he just did whatever he wanted with zero respect for me as a human being. That man brought shame upon his mother and father, evidencing that they raised a careless, brute, inconsiderate, brat for a boy. Some of the worse evils in this world are done by irresponsible people who claim to just be “doing their job.” Just because something is your job doesn't make it right to abuse others, humiliate them, nor does it give you the right to be a heartless thug! People have feelings. Monsters are real! I have nothing good to say about Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Please don't get surgery there people of Guam! Cedars-Sinai Hospital is so popular with Hollywood celebrities that the hospital owners couldn't care less about the little guy, the common man, the average Joe, nobodies like me!

Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

That ungodly security guard emotionally raped me in the hospital that day. I was very distressed. My heart was crushed. While in surgery, the emotional trauma from what the guard did affected me. After the surgery, the operating room nurse said that my heart was racing at top speed, and they had to slow it down. I am fully convinced to this day that it was the emotional trauma inflicted by that insensitive, thug, bastard security guard at Cedars-Sinai Hospital that caused my heart to race 100 miles an hour during surgery. I HAD BEEN RAPED! That is exactly how I felt. I pray for God to avenge me, and I want to see that guard held accountable before God on Judgment Day. I pray dear Lord Jesus Christ, please, that it would be so! I am a forgiving person, but this is not about forgiveness, it is about that wicked man being held accountable for his cruel insensitivity toward another human being. I need that guard to know what he did that day, because he probable is a cold-hearted person who doesn't understand the pain that he caused. 2nd Thessalonians 3:2, “And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.”

LOSING TOUCH WITH PATIENTS

I underwent neck surgery, double discectomy and spinal fusion, at CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER in 2009. I was nothing less than a complete gentleman while in their care. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for several employees at their hospital, who were abusive, arrogant, rude and insulting. They refused to help me medically when I went to their emergency room. They refused to help me medically while in the hospital, because the pain specialist assigned to me disappeared for the weekend. They treated me like garbage.

You'd think that out of all the doctors and employees involved that even one of them might be adult enough to contact me and express their sincerest apologies. Nope!

Instead they send some generic letter, which is toilet paper. I told them to keep it. I'm sure it's not just Cedars-Sinai Hospital that lacks in quality of care, but they've lost touch with their patients in my opinion. For heaven's sake, is it so difficult to pick up a phone? You'd think one of the doctors would have called me, to see how I was doing. Nope! No one ever called to see how I was doing, and the belligerent woman in their Quality Improvement Department didn't bother to ask either. That's sad.

One nurse assured me that I'd hear from the manager of the emergency room, concerning the abuse I suffered in their emergency room; but the manager never did call, and didn't care. No one ever followed up. I sat one day waiting for 8-hours for the evening manager of the emergency room to call. They just wasted my time. Of course I would be upset.

It just perplexes me why a hospital, after I sent them 14-pages of complaints, would choose to brush me off with a lousy letter, instead of calling me as I requested to discuss the issues at length. All I wanted was to have a person-to-person, adult-to-adult, talk with someone in charge at the hospital who had the power to make a difference. Instead, I got this childish woman in their Quality Improvement Department who wouldn't even apologize over the phone, and said she was going to close out my complaint, when no one had ever talked with me about the issues.

What if you took your car into a repair shop for work, and their mechanic went home for the weekend while you were sitting in the waiting room? Sound ridiculous? Well, I was laying in a hospital bed and the doctor assigned to me disappeared for the weekend. I laid there suffering in the hospital for 2-days with inadequate pain medication, because the nurse couldn't reach my doctor for the weekend. That's how they treated me. It's called patient abandonment. Of course a lousy letter is not enough. All I requested was to speak with a manager, but they refused.

They just don't care, likely because they're a big hospital and are in the ritzy Beverly Hills area. In my opinion they are arrogant. I feel that they have lost touch with their patients.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR PAPERWORK!

In 2009, I underwent surgery at CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER in Los Angeles, California. On the morning of the surgery, they handed me my surgical paperwork, which contained detailed personal information.

As I sat in the waiting room reading the information they gave me, I was confused at first, because all of the information was incorrect. My first thought was that someone had entered the wrong information about me into the system. As I continued to read, the information was so wrong that I started looking for a name, which I found to be for another patient. They had given me another patient's paperwork, and my paperwork to another patient.

I unknowingly read quite a few personal things about the other patient, before I realized that it wasn't my paperwork. I was suffering in a lot of pain, and was weary from having difficulty sleeping due to the pain, and am fortunate to have noticed the switched paperwork at all. The other patient didn't even look at his paperwork.

I am so glad that I noticed the mistake the hospital made, because God only knows what might have happened.

Please, always check your paperwork and everything else, because you'll end up getting your kidney taken out when you went in for foot surgery. It happens every day all across America. Switching a patient's paperwork is a very serious mistake.

The sad thing is that the hospital refused to discuss the matter with me and Julie in their Quality Improvement Department refused to even apologize when I spoke with her. They couldn't have cared less. They allegedly tried to send me some generic apology letter, which I told them I didn't want, because the issues were serious and I wanted to speak with a manager. They refused and no one ever called me. No matter how much they screw up, they just send you a template letter saying too bad, so sad, blah, blah, blah. All I wanted was to speak with someone in management, but they refused. You couldn't pay me to go back there.

FORMS, FORMS AND MORE FORMS!

My doctor had recommended me to a pain specialist. I was suffering in horrible pain (which is why I was there in the first place). The receptionist handed me 10-forms to fill out. After spending about 30-minutes filling out paperwork, one of the questions on the form asked, "What makes your pain worse?" I wrote down, "spending 45-minutes filling out endless paperwork."

Every time you go to a doctor and all the related medical institutions, you have to fill out a bunch of paperwork—whether it be for a blood test, an x-ray, an MRI, a pain specialist, the pre-operation doctor, the surgeon, the post-operation doctor, hospital admission, et cetera. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Commonsense is out the window nowadays.

You'd think that someone would have simplified the process a long, long, time ago.

INSINCERE GENERIC TEMPLATE APOLOGY LETTERS

Nothing shows the insincerity of a business more, than when they use generic template apology letters.

Even worse is when a patient is abused, neglected and mistreated by a hospital, and the hospital administration doesn't have enough decency to apologize personally. It is an insult, and shows the organization's insincerity, when they mail you a "too bad, so sad, blah, blah, blah" apology letter.

They buy these generic template letters by the box-full at local stationary stores. That's not the way to do business. If you care about truly improving the quality of your business, then you won't send someone an insincere template apology letter, especially if they tell you they don't want one.

I underwent neck surgery (double discectomy and spinal fusion) in 2009 at CEDARS-SINAI HOSPITAL in the Beverly Hills area of West Los Angeles, California. It was one mistake after another by hospital staff. The primary nurse helping me must have been an air-head, because she kept giving me wrong information. I say that kindly. The emergency room staff were rude, belligerent and abusive. It wasn't even 48-hours after surgery, and I came to the emergency room due to severe pain at the advice of my doctor. Yet, they couldn't have cared less. It was a mess.

I was readmitted the next day into the hospital for pain treatment, but the pain specialist assigned to me vanished for the weekend. I was back in the hospital, laying there in horrible pain, and the nurse told me I would have to suffer because she couldn't reach a doctor because it was the weekend.

I sent a 14-page complaint letter to the hospital's Quality Improvement Department and to the hospital's Administration. I specifically requested a conversation with someone in hospital management, to discuss the many important issues involved.

After weeks of being ignored, I called Julie in their Quality Improvement Department, but she stopped the conversation, saying she needed to talk to the hospital employees to get more information. No one ever called back.

After kindly requesting to talk with a manager, they sent me a letter instead 2-months later. They don't care. All I wanted was to discuss the issues with a person, and to receive a personal apology, from a person; but they decided to send a generic template apology instead, without getting all my information, without hearing everything I had to say, without caring to give me a say. It's just rotten and no way to do business. The just didn't want to hear what I had to say. They refused to listen.

If you send people insincere "too bad, so sad, blah, blah, blah" type apology letters, while refusing to hear what they have to say, don't be surprised when they send it back and suggest that you wipe your butt with it.

CEDARS-SINAI NOT THE PLACE TO GO

If you live on Guam or in the Micronesian territories, and need surgery, please consider St. Lukes Hospital in the Philippines or Queen's Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii; rather than Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, if you want the best care. I was sold on the notion that Cedars was the best place to go. Well, I couldn't disagree more after going there.

It's burdensome to spend 14-hours on a plane traveling after surgery, and lengthy layovers at the airport, even after an initial healing period. St. Lukes in only 3-hours away.

My only intent in these posts is to express my opinion, which is my Bill of Rights as a U.S. Citizen. Cedars-Sinai Hospital is a horrible place to get surgery in my opinion. I should know, because I underwent surgery there in 2009, and I'm still suffering horribly. I regret ever going there.

They really dropped the ball, and I didn't get the proper medical attention that I desperately needed from them. The pain specialist assigned to me vanished for the weekend after my surgery, and I suffered for 2-days with inadequate pain medications. I was treated like garbage by their emergency room staff. The attending nurse in the Emergency Room was so arrogant that she wouldn't even speak with my doctor on the phone. That's messed up!

They discharged me from the hospital while still bleeding, dizzy, had stabbing pain in my chest, and was in need of stronger pain medication than the pills they handed me. The nurse came into my hospital room and said, "You're still here, I thought the other patient was already here." The doctor who performed my surgery didn't visit me the day I was discharged.

After all the needless grief, unnecessary suffering and undue stress their employees caused, the hospital administration refused to even offer a verbal apology, and moreover the opportunity to discuss the issues with management. They just blew me off and didn't care. I don't think I could have been more reasonable to request speaking with a manager, instead of them sending some generic template letter (too bad, so sad, blah, blah, blah). That's not the way to do business if you care. They don't care, which is why they wouldn't call me and refused to discuss the issues.

CEDARS-SINAI IS ONE OF THE WORST HOSPITALS IN MY EXPERIENCE

It is sad, but true, many U.S. hospitals are below acceptable standards. Even worse, if you are mistreated, there is little recourse of action available. Thankfully, freedom of speech allows us at least to share our bad experiences with others, so hopefully they won't undergo the same abuse. This particular blog is about CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER in Los Angeles, California. I strongly recommend that you consider getting surgery somewhere else.

I underwent neck surgery there in 2009, i.e., double discectomy and spinal fusion. Two weeks after the surgery, I wrote a multi-page complaint letter to CEDAR-SINAI'S Quality Improvement Department. I specified that I didn't want a generic apology letter. I requested to speak with a human being, a person, and to receive an apology from a person. They refused.

Here are my numerous complaints I made to the hospital:

They mixed up my surgical paperwork with another patient's. Fortunately I caught the error.

Prior to my surgery, while I had wires all sticking out of me, a hospital security guard went through my wallet, without even telling me what he was doing. He took everything out of my wallet, item by item, and then wrote it all down. He should have at least introduced himself and asked me if it was ok for him to look in my wallet. He violated my right to privacy and disrespected me as a person. Nurse Laura Raya told me they'd simply put my wallet into the hospital safe. She didn't say they would rifle through my wallet like it was their own. That's really low-class on their part.

They put me out of the hospital too soon—while I was still dizzy, bleeding from where the catheter was removed, suffering in agonizing pain, felt stabbing pain in my chest, et cetera. They didn't care. It hadn't even been 48-hours since I woke out of surgery. They cut my neck from the front to do the surgery.

I told the male nurse that I felt dizzy. He asked, "But you can walk right?" I again told him that I was dizzy, and he again asked, "But you can walk right?"

The surgeon, Dr. Neel Anand, who performed my surgery assured me BEFORE the surgery that he would give me stronger pain medication AFTER the surgery, because my body was used to the meds I had been taking for a long time. Well, he didn't and I suffered horribly.

After being told that it was against hospital policy to put me in a taxi after my surgery, they put me in a taxi anyway. The driver gunned the gas pedal and my head lunged back. I thought the hardware had come loose in my neck.

I was alone when I received surgery, with no family present, nor waiting at the hotel. I told this to the staff, pre-op doctor (Dr. Mark Davidson) and surgeon, but they didn't care. Workman's Comp wanted me to stay in the hospital for a longer duration, but the surgeon said no.

After the taxi incident, I ended up back in CEDARS-SINAI's emergency room just 3-hours after I was discharged from the hospital. The pre-op doctor told me to go to the emergency room for pain relief and have them call him. I did that and they refused to treat me for 30-minutes because I refused to sign a financial obligation form. I told them that I had just undergone surgery at THEIR hospital, by THEIR doctors, and was now in THEIR emergency room. And moreover, I had been instructed by one of THEIR doctors to have THEM call him, but they could not be reasoned with. They refused to help me, even raising their voices at me and telling me to leave. I tell the truth.

One nurse became belligerent and said, "Would you mail a letter without a stamp?" Another nurse stuck his chest in my face and ordered me into a side room. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. They ganged up on me. I was wearing my neck brace, had on my original IV bandages from surgery, and wore another bandage where blood had been removed. I was barely able to stand up I was so tired and weary. The employees in their emergency room were rude, abusive, insulting and extremely unprofessional.

I went into the side room to use the phone, to call the pre-op doctor who had told me to go to the emergency room. While the phone was ringing, a female staff member walked in with a witness and said, "Sign this form or else you have to use the phone in the lobby." I told her that I went into the side room to avoid conflict with them, because they were being abusive, and now she was wanting to pick a fight with me. I told her that I was in pain from surgery and needed their help, and didn't need their harassment.

The pre-op doctor answered his phone. I told him that I was being abused by the emergency room staff. He said they were breaking the law by not helping me. A senior nurse came in and I could see that she was angry. My doctor asked to speak to her, but she said, word for word, "I'm not talking to your doctor or any doctor." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She wouldn't even talk with my doctor, who was waiting on the phone. She had a needle in her hand and said, "Do you want help or not?" After waiting 30-minutes, and seeing that she was visibly angry and emotional, I decided to suffer in pain rather than let them abuse me any further. I went back to the hotel and tripled my pain pills in desperation for relief. I was grief stricken and overwhelmed. It was hell on earth at CEDARS-SINAI HOSPITAL that night.

The next day I went back to CEDARS-SINAI and requested an x-ray from the taxi incident to see if my hardware had come loose, because my pain was excruciating. They handed me 15-pages of paperwork to fill out.

I was in so much pain that I requested to be readmitted back into the hospital the next day. My surgeon readmitted me into the hospital. This was a Friday afternoon. I was assigned to a pain specialist who disappeared for the weekend. I was suffering in pain bad on Saturday, but the nurse said she couldn't give me any more pain medication without the doctor's permission, and she couldn't reach the doctor for the weekend. I was stunned. The whole reason I was readmitted into the hospital was for them to treat my pain. I said, then I'll just go home. The nurse became snotty and said, "Then you'll have to sign a statement that you're going directly against your doctor's orders." I was trapped in their hospital. The doctor was unavailable for the weekend and I just suffered in agonizing pain. No one cared at all at CEDARS-SINAI. I even called their Volunteer Department, but they said they couldn't do anything.

On Sunday, after suffering all night in unnecessary pain, I finally got the approval of a different doctor to go home. They never did treat my pain as they advertise.

The nurse (Donna Bias) handling my Workman's Comp paperwork messed up and I received a bunch of bills that I shouldn't have received.

The surgeon prescribed a Bone Stimulator device for my neck, to help it fuse, and they gave me enough electrode pads for 6-weeks. I ran out. They had assured me they would send more if I needed them. I contacted them and was told they'd send the pads. I never did receive any more pads and I couldn't find the pads to buy anywhere online. I was supposed to wear the device for 9-months according to Dr. Rebecca Rosemann. I wore it for 6-weeks because they didn't send me the pads they had promised.

I was assured by the coordinator nurse that I would receive a phone call from the manager of the emergency room, 4-times, but no one ever called. She just ignored me. After all the abuse I endured in the emergency room, was it too much to expect a simple verbal apology.

And so, I hope and pray that no one reading this post will ever have to go through what I suffered through. The surgery hasn't offered ANY relief, none whatsoever. My legs still kick way out when tested for reflexes. I had a recent MRI, which shows that I still have bone spurs in the same C5-C6 area where they did surgery. Why didn't they take care of the bone spurs while they were in there at C5-C6? I just don't get it. I need another surgery to fix what they left undone. Sure I'm upset. It was scary enough getting the first surgery, and now I have to get surgery all over again because they didn't do the job right the first time. I have severe pain and ripping tension in my neck, and pain extending down into my right arm and leg. Going to CEDARS-SINAI was a big mistake.

They told me to wear the Bone Stimulator device they provided for 9-months. Despite my request for more pads, they never sent them. I reminded them, but they ignored me. Cedars-Sinai crapped on me! I tried to buy the pads on eBay, but couldn't find them anywhere. And so, I only wore the unit for 6-weeks. What a sham by the hospital! Is that how you treat a patient after performing surgery on him? Of course I'm upset. My comforting thought is that the King James Bible (God's inspired Words) promises that God will avenge me as His child of Cedars-Sinai Hospital's abuse, mistreatment, incompetence, dishonesty and worst of all, apathy. They are indifferent. Donna Bias lied to me about hospital policy, and they should have provided safe transportation back to my residence after surgery. She lied to me! They stuck me in a taxicab. Romans 12:19, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Donna Bias promised me that the night manager of the ER would contact me, so that we could discuss the incidents which happened when they refused to treat my neck pain after surgery. No one ever called, and when I called Cedars-Sinai, Julie was belligerent and deliberately cut the call short, promising that someone would get back to me. Julie also lied to me—no one ever called. It is dishonest that Cedars-Sinai brags about the lowest hospital stay after surgery. The truth is that to maintain their national record, you can expect to be discharged and thrown out of the hospital—whether you are ready to be discharged or not. Worker's comp said they would have preferred that Cedars-Sinai keep me under observation after my surgery, but Cedars only cares about maintaining their shady impressive statistics. THAT IS NEFARIOUS AND EXTREMELY DISHONEST!!! I suffered needlessly so that Cedars-could maintain their bullcrap statistics. There's nothing impress about statistics attained at the expense of hurting others. Romans 12:19, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Please say a prayer for me, whoever you may be; and please DON'T go to CEDARS-SINAI for anything, unless you want to be abandoned, abused and neglected like I was. Don't get surgery at Cedars-Sinai, unless you want to be prematurely discharged after surgery to preserve their bullcrap statistics! I can only speak for myself. My experience was a nightmare. God will avenge me of the abuse, mistreatment, abandonment, arrogance, needless pain, dishonesty, thuggery, indifference, suffering and negligence incurred before, during and after my neck surgery in 2009 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

We've Got A Bunch Of Self-Righteous Preachers Today

Ezekiel 33:13, “When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.”

It is a disturbing truth indeed that most churches today have a self-righteous unsaved pastor. No one is saved who preaches that believing the Gospel is not enough to be saved. Those wicked false pastors all claim that repentance is also needed, because they misunderstand Bible repentance. In fact, the man who BELIEVES on Jesus Christ HAS repented!

Repentance is not a separate step from believing. Bible repentance, if you look it up on Google (see: metanoia and metanoeo), simply means: “a change of mind.” Metanoia is the Greek noun form, and metanoeo is the Greek verb form, which means: “to think differently.” A person who believes the Gospel only did so because they changed their mind from unbelief to belief. Today's deceived preachers have been lied to by other sinister ministers, foolishly led to think that repentance means to turn away from your sinful behavior. But this is self-righteousness, and not the imputed righteousness of God that is by faith alone.


We've got a bunch of wicked self-righteousness pastors today, who lean upon their own understanding instead of trusting the Lord. Ezekiel 33:13, “When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.” There you have it! If any man trust IN HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, all of the good deeds and preaching for Christ, and all of his dedicated service to follow Christ as “Lord” won't be remembered in eternity.

If you want further evidence, read what Jesus said:
Matthew 7:21-23, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
All we hear today from fools like Marty Herron, Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Steve Pettit, Gary Walton, Chuck Phelps, Ray Comfort and thousands more unsaved infidels is that to get to Heaven, you must make Jesus the absolute Lord of your life, turn away from your sins and follow Jesus from now on faithfully. Folks, they are preaching another gospel! This is not the simple Gospel that the Apostle Paul preached in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4:
1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
Paul defines “the gospel” as Christ's death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection the third day. There is no inclusion of turning away from your sinful behavior, nor of making Jesus the supreme “Lord” of your life, nor of counting the cost and paying the price, nor of faithfully running the Christian race to the end, nor of water baptism, nor of speaking in tongues, nor of attending a church, nor of doing good deeds, nor of confessing Christ publicly, nor of inviting Christ into your life, nor of anything else! You may do all these things and still never have been born-again at all!!!

Paul said in Galatians 1:12 that he received the Gospel directly from Jesus Christ Himself. Childlike faith in Christ has always been God's only simply plan of salvation for humanity (Acts 10:43). NO ONE has ever been saved by works, nor by partial faith in Christ plus works. If they did, then God owed them salvation, which is just not possible because none of us could ever perfectly keep the law to merit Heaven (Romans 4:4-7).

I know that I preach on this topic a lot, but it needs to be driven home. “YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN” Jesus exclaimed in John 3:3-7. You cannot be born-again by turning away from your sinful ways in a lame attempt to appease the wrath of God against you as a guilty sinner. Only the sacrifice on God's only begotten Son on the cross can do that, by the precious blood that He shed and sprinkled upon the Mercy Seat in Heaven (Hebrews 9:12, 22-24; 12:24).

Multitudes Of Pastors Are My Enemy Because I Tell The Truth That Martin Luther Wasn't Saved

Acts 15:1-2 and 22-24, “And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. ...Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

I love this passage of Scripture from Acts chapter 15, because it confirm A group of false prophets came to Jerusalem preaching that you cannot be save unless you keep the law of Moses. Ladies and gentleman, that is exactly what all these fake preachers are wickedly doing today, adding the extrabiblical requirement that to go to Heaven you must “turn from your sins.” No such requirement is found in the inspired King James Bible. You might find that junk theology in many of the Devil's modern corrupt Bible revisions, but you WON'T find it in the trustworthy King James Bible which hasn't been tampered with.

Martin Luther (1483-1546) is praised, honored and uplifted by nearly every preachers today, but those pastor are woefully ignorant. And tragically, some of them have been told THE TRUTH and warned to stop promoting Mr. Luther as a born-again hero. In fact, Martin Luther taught his entire life the heresy of Sacramental Salvation. 
In his Large Catechism, Luther wrote:
[I] affirm that Baptism is no human trifle, but that it was established by God Himself. Moreover, He earnestly and solemnly commanded that we must be baptized or we shall not be saved. No one is to think that it is an optional matter like putting on a red coat. It is of greatest importance that we hold Baptism in high esteem as something splendid and glorious. The reason why we are striving and battling so strenuously for this view of Baptism is that the world nowadays is full of sects that loudly proclaim that Baptism is merely an external form and that external forms are useless.... Although Baptism is indeed performed by human hands, yet it is truly God’s own action (1978, pp. 98-99). [emphasis added]

SOURCE: Luther, Martin (1978), Luther’s Large Catechism, (Saint Louis, MO: Concordia).
Where does the holy Bible “solemnly command that we must be baptized or we shall not be saved”? From Luther’s own comments, it is clear that he required water baptism for salvation. This is called the heresy of Baptismal Regeneration. Many Protestant denominations today have been infected with Luther's damnable heresy. Sadly, most fundamental Bible-believing churches have also been caught up in the woeful Martin Luther deception.

Martin Luther was subtle, just as Satan—teaching that salvation is by faith alone, while simultaneously requiring baptism to be saved. Obviously, Luther didn't consider baptism a self-righteous work. The Word of God states in John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned...” I don't see any mention of “baptism” there. John the Apostle professed in 1st John 5:13 the purpose of his Epistle ... “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” Carefully notice that John never mentions baptism in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd John. By the way, John doesn't mention speaking in tongues either.

Romans 11:6 plainly tells us that if salvation is by works then it is no longer by grace, “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” If you add anything to simple childlike faith in Jesus as the Christ, then you have corrupted the saving grace of God and the Gospel. Such is of the Devil. Martin Luther taught works salvation. Every hellbound Catholic today who speaks of faith also believes that salvation comes only through keeping the 7 Sacraments of the Church in Rome. Of course, that is a false view of the Gospel and a road straight to Hell, fire, and damnation.

When I kindly showed these truths to the incompetent pastors of the fake Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, they laughed me to scorn and vehemently rejected THE TRUTH (Hosea 4:6). Those pastors are namely: Marty Herron, Joe Hansen and Jared Baldwin. I will have the last laugh in eternity when God vindicates my faithful preaching and stand for THE TRUTH (Romans 3:4). Tragically, all those wicked pastors care about is receiving their next undeserved paycheck. Granted, it is true that many pastors simply do not know THE TRUTH, but dear reader, I GAVE THEM THE TRUTH. I placed the books directly into their hands and spoke to them personally, but they dissed me to satisfy their wicked boss, Marty Herron. God will wipe that arrogant smirk of Herron's face on Judgment Day. Galatians 6:7, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” You cannot preach a counterfeit gospel and not have much blood on your hands!!!

What greatly disturbs me is that most pastors run from THE TRUTH. When I attend their shallow churches, they mark and avoid me as if I am the bad guy for befriending them with THE TRUTH. When the incompetent pastors of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam, word quickly spread to other island churches, including the Lighthouse Baptist Church on Guam. Sean Quinlan (from Pensacola Christian College) was their pastor at the time in 2018.

Pastor Quinlan wickedly berated me, dissing my ministry, mistreating me with harsh words, simply because I TOLD THE TRUTH that Bob Jones University (BJU) today is pulling on the same rope as the Devil by promoting corruptible seed (Devil's bibles). BJU also preaches the Devil's tommyrot of Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation). When I kindly warned Sean Quinlan of what Harvest is sinfully preaching (which he already fully knew), he horrible said: “It is none of our business what they do at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam.” Although I'm sure the ungodly pastors of Harvest would agree with that, it is simply not true. Dear friend, IT IS OUR BUSINESS what any organization is teaching in our community.

Is it our business if the Ku Klux Klan comes to town and starts teaching members of the community in their group to hate each other? You better believe that it is OUR BUSINESS!!! Since it is our community, and the things that organizations teach and do affect our community; therefore, it is very much OUR BUSINESS!!! So if a cult masquerades as a church, preaching the Devil's counterfeit plan of salvation called Calvinism, local believers need to identify, mark and avoid that cult (Romans 16:17-18). Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is a cult, because they sinfully bid God speed to BJU's Dr. Steve Pettit (they broadcast BJU's daily chapel services throughout Micronesia), and preach the same devilish garbage that Steve Pettit does, damning souls to the eternal Lake of Fire with the lie of Lordship Salvation.

How could anyone be a Lutheran? I mean, if you want to follow Catholicism, then go to the Catholic religion and do it, because that's all Lutheranism is—DIET CATHOLICISM!!! There's not a dimes difference between Lutheranism and Roman Catholicism as far as salvation is concerned, because THEY BOTH require sacraments to get to Heaven!

Folks, there are NO SACRAMENTS in the Holy Bible. Corrupt religious men fabricated those lies! So many Christians today have been suckered into Satan's lie that Martin Luther was a true believer. Yet, according to Luther's very own words in his Catechism that he wrote, there is NO WAY Luther could have been a Christian, since he added “Holy Baptism” and “Holy Communion” to faith. Neither of those religious terms are found in the Word of God.

As we learned in Acts 15:1 and 24, it is a false gospel to embellish God's simple plan of salvation, by ADDING more than God requires to be saved. God only requires that a man acknowledge his sinnership, and BELIEVE the Good News of Christ's death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection from the dead the third day.

Listen folks, Baptismal Regeneration is a damnable heresy which teaches that a person cannot be saved without being water baptized, and Luther taught this:
"Baptism works forgiveness of sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this..." SOURCE: Martin Luther (Luther's Small Catechism, The Sacrament of Holy Baptism)
Apostasy is a “turning away from God.” Lutherans follow Martin Luther, not God. Lutherans don't obey the Holy Bible, Luther's Small Catechism is their Bible. Likewise, Catholics don't read the Holy Bible, but instead listen to the Pope and their wicked priests, following the tradition of the Council of Trent, and other manmade traditions. Jesus clearly warned that such traditions make the Word of God of no effect, “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition...” (Mark 7:13). Is this not apostasy, when men turn away from the Living Words of God and cling to lifeless manmade traditions instead? Yes, it most certainly is apostasy! “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar...” (Romans 3:4a).

God knows that I do not hate any human being (alive or deceased). I love everybody with God's love. Albeit, as a Bible preacher it is my duty to cry aloud against the wickedness that I see in churches today, and the apostasy and indifferent pathetic attitudes of pastors toward false doctrine, Devil's bibles and sin. Hey, if you're looking for a big sinner, you need look no further, you found him! I admit that I am not a very good Christian. I want to be, but like you and everyone else, this old flesh drags me down day by day, discouraging me. It is hard to be spiritual when you suffer in constant chronic pain 24/7 as I do (from stenosis, radiculitis and displaced disks in my neck from some old injuries).

God is more than good, and I have no complaints to my precious Savior and Lord, but I am nevertheless always hurting in agonizing neck pain, burning nerves throughout my body, both arms feeling inflated with air, the entire right side of my body feels half asleep 24/7, tight tension in my neck, drug side effects, et cetera. I'm always scraping the top of my bald head while getting into my car, because my neck has atrophy (stiffness), especially in the mornings before I stretch my neck. My health afflictions are a very heavy burden for me. But God uses my suffering to bless my ministry.
2nd Corinthians 12:9-10, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
If my calamities (my permanent painful health woes, heart-breaking fallout with numerous bad pastors, inexplicable pain of divorce and broken life, losing my home and retirement savings, et cetera), can all be used by my great God and Savior, for His purpose and glory to get people saved and make an impact for eternity, then I rejoice in it all. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus.

Dear reader, if all that I haven't shown you thus far still hasn't convinced you that Martin Luther is not in Heaven today, please consider what Catholics have to say about Luther:
“Finally, his teaching on grace is his legacy. For Luther God is both hidden and revealed. Even in the revelation you still don’t get inside the divine majesty. You get God through the bread and wine of the sacrament, through the waters of Baptism, through scripture and prayer. That’s a means of grace.”

SOURCE: The Surprising Catholic Martin Luther

Isn't that sickening friend? Catholics are praising Martin Luther for his heretical teaching that getting saved “by faith” means partaking of the wine of the sacrament, and the sacramental waters of baptism. That is what Mr. Luther heretically wrote and preached his whole life! That is NOT the Gospel of free grace defined in the inspired Word of God. The Apostle Paul defined “the Gospel” as three things in 1st Corinthians 15:4: Christ DIED for our sins on the cross, He was BURIED, and He RESURRECTED three days later. Amen and amen!

My friend Pastor Max D. Younce is a brilliant Bible scholar, the Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) of our generation in my humble opinion. Dr. Younce has authored a very helpful book exposing Martin Luther titled: “Martin Luther: Master Of Deceit” (YouTube sermons series).

So please remember dear reader that we must never expand, add-to, embellish or change God's simple plan of salvation, which is to come to God as a guilty sinner and place childlike faith in the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen; receiving God's free gift of forgiveness of sins and eternal life by faith alone. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do! Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty! Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.

Martin Luther Was Not A Born-Again Believer!

Beware Of Pensacola Christian College Cult

2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

I was abused by Pastor Jeff Redlin, so also have other people at Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College (PCC). I am going to expose them until Jeff Redlin apologizes for mistreating me multiple times. PCC doesn't care about how they treat people. They selfishly only care about protecting their corrupt institutions.

Campus Church and PCC are making enemies! I was horribly mistreated by Pastor Jeff Redlin when I attended Campus Church for the summer of 2021. He foolishly scolded me for mentioning that I hoped to find a wife at Campus Church. Jeff Redlin is not God, but he acts like it, condemning other people who are hurting and lonely.

Then in front of his wife he insulted me further, saying that even if I did find a woman to marry, he wouldn't perform the wedding. What a self-righteous religious hypocrite!

Then he criticized my website ministry, falsely accusing me of "finding weaknesses in preachers," because I preach against the hellbound Lordship Salvation cult at Bob Jones University. Titus 1:9-14 commands believers to "rebuke them sharply" who preach another gospel, corrupting families. But Jeff Redlin would rather have us all go along with apostasy and heresy, and say nothing like the PCC camp is notorious for, standing against nothing. People just want to be loved, something that the PCC camp have yet to learn, which this sad article further evidences.

Jeff Redlin has a big mouth which he needs to learn to keep shut! Redlin is a disgusting disgrace as a church leader. Since PCC supports him, I must expose them too! He had no right to scold me an a grown man for desiring to have the same luxury he has, a wife to make love to. But I'm just supposed to masturbate for the rest of my life according to Pastor Redlin. This is the sicko cult mentality of the Pensacola Christian College cult, and it is unbiblical (1st Corinthians 7:1-2). SHAME on Jeff Redlin! SHAME on Sean Quinlan! SHAME on Campus Church! SHAME on PCC! Anytime that Jeff Redlin wants to humble himself as a man, and make peace with me, if he is sincerely willing to apologize for mistreating me on multiple accounts, I will gladly make peace with their organizations. If not, the war has begun!

God knows that the only reason I needed to go to these extreme measures to get their attention at Campus Church and PCC, is because Jeff Redlin as an intellectual snob is so arrogant and full of pride, that I could not talk with the guy in 2021. I tried to reason with him, but he was defensive, accusative and a total jerk! So now we will do things his way. God knows that I came to Campus Church in July of 2021 with a humble spirit of love, compassion and desire to help their ministry. But instead I was sinfully scolded for preaching against the corrupt Bob Jones University crowd, wrongly scolded for hoping to find a wife, and horribly mistreated in front of his wife.

Then he threw slander in my face that he read about me on the internet, warning me to “walk circumspectly” at Campus Church. Who the hell does Jeff Redlin think he is? Those ungodly hypocrites at PCC have the audacity to talk about “unfounded rumors,” when Jeff Redlin, their senior pastor, did just that to me, unjustly condemning me based upon unfounded rumors. PCC is as guilty as anybody!!! When I tried to make peace with him, Pastor Redlin made a bunch of lame excuses and blamed me instead. What a loser! What the hell is wrong with Jeff Redlin? Why does PCC hire these type of abusive cold-hearted people to lead?

Sean Quinlan is a disgusting disgrace as a PCC pastor. I attended his sorry church for a year in 2018. That weasel admitted to me that he couldn't even show me one thing wrong with the Devil's modern bibles. Yet that self-righteous hypocrite berated me at church, calling me "obsessed over the Bible issue." The truth is that if it weren't for INCOMPETENT jerks like Sean Quinan, preachers like me wouldn't have to be OBSSESSED to expose them! Quinlan quit as pastor and fled Guam in late 2018. That sorry devil works on staff at Pensacola Christian College today! I cry aloud against these rotten people for very good reasons.

The Sinister Federal Reserve System

Dear reader, I encourage you to watch this video and then if you'd like, FREELY listen to the entire book: "THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND: A SECOND LOOK AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE."

Since 1913 the American people have been getting ripped-off by a gang of ruthless BANKSTERS, known as "The Federal Reserve." These private families are not employed by the federal government, not do they have any gold in reserve to back our U.S. currency. These ungodly criminals ladies and gentlemen are financial scientists!!! One my my favorite prolific authors and admirable truth-tellers is Professor Edward G. Griffin (age 90, born 1931).


Dr. Griffin's most famous work is his book titled: "The Creature From Jekyll Island." Jekyll Island is located geographically in the state of Georgia. It was on this little getaway island where the treasonous criminal entity of the Federal Reserve System was contrived and plotted against the American public.

The Devil's crooked and dangerous "Fractional Reserve Banking System" is clearly seen in the popular Christmas movie: "It's A Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart, in which there is a scene when there was a run on the banks, but no money was available for withdrawal. In reality, this fraudulent so-called "banking system" was a way for the greedy private owners of the Federal Reserve to make a lot more money AT OUR EXPENSE as Americans!

Before 1913 you could exchange $100 for it's exact worth in grains of gold, but in 1913 the banking system was changed to allow banks to only maintain 10% of its gold reserve for all money lent out. This is why in the 1946 movie: It's A Wonderful Life," banker George Bailey (James Stewart) didn't have enough money to pay all the town's residents. George told them that their money was invested in their neighbour's homes and business (loans).

The biggest problem with this type of risky banking system is that it allows ungodly greedy thieves to dictate, manipulate and control America's economy and money supply. Literally, the privately owned Federal Reserve decides how much a home will cost you and me, and how many decades we will need to work to pay for it. The sad TRUTH is that when you purchase a home, you will spend the first 15 to 25 years JUST PAYING INTEREST TO THE PRIVATELY OWNED BANKS!!!

These legally sanctioned criminals are the reason why homelessness is epidemic across the United States. It's a lot like the children's game of "Musical Chairs," in which someone always loses, because they cannot find a chair left to sit in. Likewise, when the Federal Reserve (through their accomplices in the U.S. Treasury), lend out trillions of dollars in the form of college loans, home loans, reckless government spending, car loans, et cetera.

Professor Griffin is a widely known and sought after lecturer on this topic, exposing the criminality of the Federal Reserve System (aka, "Funny Money"). Again, I encourage you to watch this video and then if you'd like, FREELY listen to the entire book: "THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND: A SECOND LOOK AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE."
