			BRAWLING IS A SIN

	I always find myself willing to stand for truth; I am willing to die for truth; I am not afraid to stand against anyone, no matter how wealthy or popular, for truth! What makes me different than those who are against me is the Love of God. Those who do not know the Love of God, do not notice, nor are they able to identify the Love of God in another; one must possess the Love of God in order to recognize it! In this short article I am not going to point you to a bunch of specific scriptures, I am not going to attempt to transliterate anything to impress you with my head knowledge, I am simply going to speak from my heart where the Living Words of God are written! Those who hate me will define my intentions, my heart, my words, according to their own liking to justify their hate, they know not the Love of God! As it is written in Isaiah 28, “The drunkards of Ephraim”; “They stumble in judgment”; these people have a wine, a mixture of drink, it is not the new wine, but the wine of drunkards, they stumble in judgment. I judge people buy their fruits, just as the scriptures command, “by their fruits you shall know them”, Jesus said that the greatest command is Love, the Word says “God is Love” and the Word of God says “The fruit of the Spirit IS Love”. Most people judge others by their own bent on doctrine, not true doctrine mind you, but the letter of the law doctrine, their sense of “historical Christianity”, “Orthodox Christianity”, the kind of Christianity that got Anabaptists burned at the stake as heretics; these are the legal enforcers, they are Lawyers of their own theocracy called “Christendom”; they determine the rules for the rest of us, doting the i’s and crossing the t’s or else! I have one master, even Christ, so I anger them and draw their scorn and hatred, they say “he is arrogant” they say “he is a looser, crackpot, decisive, liar, thief”; anything they can throw at me, they will, hoping something will connect! Last night I had a dream, I was in a church building and a brawl broke out between myself and another person and his wife, mind you I have not darkened a church door for years! This person was not Phil Naessens, it was someone who I would like to believe is my brother in the Lord. During the brawl it seemed that everyone was against me, yet every time someone would try something, I would one up them and I was throwing them around like rag dolls! What shocked me in the dream, is my own son started to feel sorry for the mob of people trying to get me, and started to put his body between me and them in a somewhat aggressive stance! My dream ended as I picked up a crate of drinks that I had brought and started to exit the building only to be warned inside by those who were fighting me, that there was a larger mob outside the building waiting for me. Now dear enemies, you can interpret that anyway that suits you, ok? However, what occurred to me when I awoke, is I had to take down the heart of this rebuke of Phil Naessens, because it had degraded to a brawl. Phil Naessens, get even richer, more popular, I wouldn’t dare stand in your way, you have the praise of men, why shouldn’t you be happy? I will no longer participate in this brawl, it is sin! No one bothered to write me and suggest that this might be the case, the Lord gave me a dream and that is why I am taking down this rebuke. If I believed that this rebuke could be anymore instructive than it already has to the glory of the Lord, I would leave it up, but I can now see that it has no more redeeming value to the glory of the Lord. After the threat of a law suit regarding the use of Phil Naessens’s picture, I did speak to a good customer of mine who was formerly the president of the local chapter of the ACLU. I am not saying this as a veiled threat, I am only saying this to let you know that I am not responding out of fear of being sued, I am obeying the Lord Jesus who opened my eyes to this being a brawl, which is sin! I repent, I turn around, I am not a brawler, I love the Lord Jesus my God and my desire is to obey him! It is kind of weird having this internet outlet to say what you always wanted to say, when they would not let you in the man lead institutions, now they can’t stop you, not easily anyway. For me it is very simple, you may be able to shut off my mic in your buildings, you may be able to gather mobs who are in your back pocket against me, you may be able to throw me out of your “church building”, you may even one day cause my own family to turn against me, but you cannot throw me out of the Ekklesia, you cannot prevent me from being accepted with God, unlike you, God knows my comings and goings, he knows my heart and whether I belong to him or not. You, mob controller, do not get to decide whether I am in or out, it is the Lord Jesus who is the head of his Ekklesia, it is him that will show mercy on who he will! The fact that he has shown mercy on me is found in the evidence of the Living Truth written on the tablets of my heart, if you were not so wise in your own conceit, you would have spent the time to find this to be absolutely true; it has nothing to do with exegesis or isogesis, but the grace and mercy of God, because that which is approved of men is an abomination to God! Just an old article here “why I don’t go to church”. Have a nice life Phil, and may the Lord bless Phil and have mercy on his soul! Sincerely Robert Begnaud
