Good morning and God bless you all. This post is not for all my blogging friends and family who are supportive and encouraging. This post is in response to some strange and hateful messages I have received lately here on WordPress from bloggers I’ve never met. I will keep this short and direct as this is a message to the haters.
First off, I forgive these people and I pray for them. I am here to preach the Gospel and speak the truth of God’s Word to the world. I am not here to argue with people who want to slander Jesus, God’s Word, or me. I am a man of peace, but I am also a bold warrior, and I am not the one you want to challenge. I am most definitely your huckleberry and I will speak the truth straight to your face.
Be glad I deleted your arrogant and blasphemous comments about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and your arrogant and blasphemous comment about God’s Word. Neither of you are believers in Jesus Christ. I don’t know what you are, but you don’t love Jesus or God’s Word. I suggest you repent of your blasphemy and believe in Jesus. I also suggest you move on from my blog and stop leaving comments. One of these days I might just call your bluff.
Many have tried me, including people I thought were my brothers and sisters in Christ, and they all learned the hard way that I stand up for Jesus and God’s Word with a fierce passion and I don’t back down. Be thankful I have been patient and kind with you in not revealing who you are in the comments section of my blog. Be thankful I did not engage in dialogue with you. Neither of you are prepared for that battle and your arrogant puffed up statements show that. You both act like a young man running around beating his chest right before he gets knocked out by the seasoned fighter.
I am humble and careful with the sword of the Spirit God has given me. God’s Word is nothing to be trifled with, nor is a man of God filled with the Spirit who knows how to wield that sword with the great wisdom and understanding God gave him. I do not put up with false preachers. I have been following Jesus and preaching the Gospel since 1996 and I have dealt with many in my time. If you continue to come on my blog with your lies, blasphemies, and perversions of God’s Word, you will find yourself in the heat of spiritual battle and I am going to cut your false preaching spirits down.
You have been warned and I rebuke your attacks in the Name of Jesus Christ! As Jesus once said: “You snakes! You brood of vipers!” God have mercy on your souls. May you come to know the true joy of salvation that can only be found by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ!
“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?”
Jesus speaking in Matthew 23:33
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
Jesus speaking in John 3:16-18
To my friends and family, thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement! Nothing to be concerned about. When you follow and serve Jesus, you will encounter false preachers, haters, and persecution, but the Lord will always fight for you and give you victory. Just part of the job.
Grace and peace!
God’s peace to you Ryan! Here is some Scripture from 1 John which reinforces some of what you have said. My church recently finished a study of 1 John.
From 1 John 2:26-27: “I write these things to you concerning those who would deceive you. As for you, the anointing that you have received from Him abides in you, and so you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in Him.”

You’ve really got my curiosity peaked, Ryan! I know it’s unpleasant, but would it bother you to just give a clue as to what the main argument of these commenters are (just a sentence or two)? For example, do they deny the deity of Christ? Just curious. Thanks, Ryan.

Yes, the one claims that Jesus is not God and he also denies the trinity. The other claims God’s Word is filled with mistakes and he said God’s Word doesn’t preach Christ. They are both false preachers and totally whacked out on their false doctrines. Thanks for asking. Please pray for them. God bless!

Thanks, Ryan. Of course, these are old arguments, but when one claims that the Bible doesn’t preach Christ, that’s really going over the edge.
I agree with you, these two need prayer for the Lord to open their eyes.
Keep fighting the good fight, Ryan!

Thank you sir, amen! I should have given them John 8:58 where Jesus said, “before Abraham was born, I am!” Maybe then they would understand that Jesus is God. Of course, they won’t understand anything without the Holy Spirit, which neither of them have. I pray they get saved. So thankful the Lord fights for us!🙏

Hi Ryan. Back in November 2017, I wrote a blog titled, “Yes, Jesus is God,” which was chock full of verses proclaiming Christ’s deity. In the comments section, a group called the Belgian Bible Students, who deny Christ’s deity, began to refute me.
Their objections were easy to counter and I engaged them diplomatically, but I was amazed at the blindness of these people in the face of these many scriptures. I don’t think they were hateful, but spiritually blind.
As you mentioned with the two you are dealing with, only prayer can open their eyes. Logic won’t work; God must lift their blindness.
Anyway, if you’re interested, here’s a link to the post, you can just skip down to the comments: https://ettingerwriting.wordpress.com/2017/11/07/yes-jesus-is-god/
Thanks for broaching these topics, Ryan, they need to be discussed!

Thank you, I appreciate the link! It really is amazing how many false doctrines are out there. Just like in Paul’s time when he dealt with everything from idol worship to gnosticism. We even have a lot of people messing with witchcraft in our country. May the Lord open people’s minds and hearts and spread revival!

I read their comments to you on your post, and that is exactly what the comments to me were like. They have trouble with Christ’s deity, the Trinity, and the authority of God’s Word. Might have been the same people or people with the same false beliefs for sure. Great article you wrote defending Jesus and great replies to them too, amen!

Satan launches attacks on those who follow Jesus in so many aspects of our daily lives…our relationships, our marriage, our morality, our brotherly love, our faith. And, Satan is relentless on those who spread God’s Word, hitting with vicious attacks by using others like those who are attacking God and you on your blog. But, just as you are doing honorably and passionately Ryan when attacked, as Christians we fight back with God’s strength, The Word, our faith, and with the Holy Spirit that fills us. When we lean our full weight on the gospel of Jesus Christ, we will not crumble beneath the weight of his accusations. As you have said many times before just as Paul says in Ephesians 6… to put on the whole armor of God, so in that evil day you may be able to stand. As Christians we must put on the full armor of God and fight a battle that we could not win by our own strength… “The breastplate that protects your heart, is the righteousness of Christ.” You are a warrior for Christ, Ryan. As you said it can be very hard and relentless, and there are times, as in these recent attacks you are experiencing, that you must confront him directly. And that’s when it is important that we put on the gospel armor just as you are doing. God is pleased with you Ryan, and all Christians who battle him everyday and stand up for Jesus! Praise God, for He has already won the battle. Amen.

Believing that Jesus is God comes to each of us, individually, as a revelation. When someone denies it (I have a follower who does), that simply shows God hasn’t revealed the truth to them. And they are preaching what they don’t know. Praying for them is definitely best.
