It is true that I did write anti-Communist articles, because they are
atheist
and anti-God, rather than because of their political persuasion. However, I
hope I have GROWN in grace and the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, as Peter instructs in II Peter 3:18. It has been impressed on me
in more recent years what I only partly realized some thirty to fifty years ago,
how, when our first parents REJECTED God's teaching, God's GOVERNMENT
over them, and God's salvation, that God, in driving them out of the Garden
of Eden, barring entrance to the "tree of life," said, in effect: "You have
rejected my government, my teaching, and me as Savior. Therefore, I SENTENCE
you and your children which shall populate and form the world, for 6,000 years,
to being cut off from me and my Holy Spirit. Therefore, GO, and create your
own religions, form your own kinds of governments, devise your own knowledge
and educational systems, and your own types of society. Yet I will call a very
FEW who are predestinated to be called for use in preparing for the final
KINGDOM
OF GOD."
It actually was GOD who cut mankind off--except for those specially
called--rather than man having turned from God (except for Adam and Eve,
of course).
God simply has not called most of the millions in China and Russia and
India. He WILL, either in the coming millennium, or in the Great White Throne
Judgment, when Satan will no longer be here to deceive.
So I no longer write articles condemning communism, or their governments.
Instead I go to them with the message of HOPE--the Kingdom of God, when
God WILL open all minds, and bring them to salvation.
Jesus DID NOT COME ON A SOUL-SAVING MISSION! The GOSPEL is
GOOD NEWS, which God has called me to proclaim.
On this basis, not judging or condemning them, but bringing to the leaders
of the most populous nation on earth Christ's MESSAGE OF HOPE, I was
enthusiastically welcomed. The most universally believed lie and false doctrine
with which Satan has deceived the whole world of "Christianity" is that all not
now "saved" are LOST. That is not true. They are neither saved nor lost--they
are
NOT YET JUDGED.
Jesus said plainly, "NO MAN CAN come to me, except the Father which
hath sent me draw him" (John 6:44). Unless the Father DRAWS them, atheists
and communists CANNOT come to Jesus. HE SAID SO IN PLAIN LANGUAGE!
Now I am also INVITED TO GO TO MOSCOW BY THE GOVERNMENT
THERE! That trip is planned for about next April or May.
I must close this letter, but first I am reminded that many are forgetting
to keep up the regular contributions for the BUILDING FUND. We did get 100%
financing before we started building the Ambassador Auditorium, but it is not
yet paid out. So that I would not forget, I have the Accounting Department
take my monthly special building-fund offering out of my salary before my
salary check is written every month. You can't all do it that way, so I give
you this friendly reminder. Already we have been enjoying the USE of this
supremely beautiful auditorium for 5 1/2 years, while we are paying back the
insurance companies who loaned us the money. We must never default on this
