PASTOR'S CORNER

	IT'S TIME TO STOP THE GENOCIDE IN DARFUR, SUDAN

	Moral and Ethical Issues of Command Dear Church members; We are warned throughout scripture to have nothing to do with even the appearance of evil.  God tells us to not dwell amongst the UN-Godly, and those who are not of one accord; as in who we worship and believe in as our Lord and Savior!  Yet we house and protect those whose doctrine is hate and murder.  We sit by silently as they sneak out and commit crime after crime.  And yet we raise our voices in anger over the issues in the Mideast, as if blood isn't on our own hands.  We have plenty enough to be worried about on our own soil.  But let us take a realistic look at the Mideast issues. There would not be an issue if Lebanon would have enforced U.N. Resolution 1559 and not allow Hezbollah to conduct terrorist activities inside their borders.  Just as Iran and Iraq tolerate and promote Al Qaeda,  likewise, the United States tolerates and promotes the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups who continue to thrive here.  We fight our war on terror, terrorists and terror organizations, and every group is on the watch list but these white supremacy groups. We allow terrorist to thrive in our midst, and then we’re shocked when civilians are killed.  Terrorists don’t follow the code of conduct.  That's what makes them terrorists.  They hide in the midst of people, in churches, schools and residential areas for that very reason.  If civilians are killed in the conflict then it makes the other side look like murderers.  When, in fact, the terrorists wanted the collateral damage in an effort to provoke hatred of their enemies and make them look bad as a bonus.  But they should know that when you lie down with bombs in your home you should not expect to wake up, just as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nation stated in his address to the United Nations.  The terror cells are well trained groups of soldiers who work in small groups using guerrilla tactics.  These tactics are to draw enemy fire on civilians, use civilians as shields and then garner support from the world for their cause.  They sleep with bombs in their homes and find themselves shocked when their homes are blown up in the morning, if they survive the strike.  Then they stand in front of the cameras with their dead that they claim to respect in their arms.  But when we photograph them we’re desecrating the dead and disrespecting their faith?  They parade in front of the television and the United Nations claiming these animals in Israel are murdering their innocent children, elderly and women.  But when has Hezbollah renounced the murder of innocent Israelis, whom they purposely target daily? There are also issues and complications of fighting a war with soldiers who are under control and guerilla warfare troops who are not under control.  This asymmetrical warfare is what officers on the battlefields of today will face and must be instructed in the formal way of conducting warfare under these conditions.  A war in which the Geneva Convention laws will not apply because only one side will adhere to the rules of moral and ethical warfare, as it is mandated in the rules of engagement. These are just my thoughts on the situation in the Mideast. Dr. Ricardo Enoch Nunez Senior Pastor The Church of Philadelphia

	THE WILD DOG OF WAR   Missiles have been found inside both Syria and Lebanon with Iranian markings on them.  There was at least one of these missiles launched at Israel.  And now we are hearing talk from Boutros Boutros Ghali who is guiding the hands and mouth of Kofi Anan, that Israel must allow permanent UN troops to be placed along the borders to bring peace to this unstable situation.   Hamas leaders threaten to never release the two soldiers captured.  To stop this, all they have to do is release the two soldiers and it would end.  But why do you think this issue is not being discussed anywhere?  They simply want to make Israel look as if there out of control so that they can come in and take control from them.   Israel is protecting itself, just as any sovereign nation has the right to do.  But somehow they’re the only ones killing and running wild?  It is Iran who has the wild dog of war as President with the spirit of Alexander the Great running through his veins.  That very spirit that is called Apollyon, who has stated that if the whole world was to come against them they would not stop.   Yet the news is quiet about this mad man, Ahmadinejad and his provoking this war.  He not only threatens Israel, but he and his band of despots threaten the lives of Christians in the Sudan, Mogadishu, Somalia, Ethiopia and America.   Where is the UN on dealing with him and his lack of self control?  If they continue, the skies will open up over their heads and destroy them.   I strongly recommend all believers prepare for the days ahead by being stocked up on food, water and anything else you might need such, as medical supplies and emergency equipment.    But most of all, set your spiritual house in order with the living God who will soon remove His hands from us.   God cannot and will not abide in sin.  He could not do it when is own Son was on the cross and He will not do for us.  We can’t lay blame on God for this; we brought this inside our own homes.   As blood reaches out to touch blood, so does sin reach out to touch sin.  Our sins have reached the nostrils of God and He is not pleased.

John 4:7-26 The Thirst for Living Water

A MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE From Dr. Ricardo Enoch Nuñez May 29, 2006   Because time is of the essence, I’ll get right to the point.   If you give up your guns, you are dead.  If you go to the camps or whatever name they choose to call them; Wellness centers, Re-education centers, you are going to die.  Not only will you die, but you will become food for something else.   If you are a pacifist and feel that this is what God has called you to, then by all means, step forward now.  Why wait?   Jesus is coming back with all power and glory, like a roaring lion.  He is coming as Judge with His warriors at his side.  He is not coming to chat or hold a peace rally.  He will be coming to put evil at room temperature.  There’s nothing in the book of Revelation that tells us to be passive.  Jesus says that when we have done all that we can, then stand.  He does not say roll over and be a pacifist.   The bible also says that God is the same yesterday, today and forever.  He raised up warriors and warrior priests from the beginning of the Bible to defend His word, His people and the land they inhabited, to root out sin and to separate His people from those who thrive on sin and evil.  He even used His warrior priests against the people of Israel when they chose to follow after strange gods and idols.  That same God still stands today.    Evil must be stomped out where ever it rears it head.  Those who practice evil and worship after strange idols are not going to let you continue to walk this earth just because you give your guns away or because you advocate a peaceful solution.  The Lord says that we will beat our swords into plowshares.  But that is after His return.  And keep in mind, His return will be with a sword ready for battle.    There are too many people stuck on stupid, and they will die turning in their guns.   I highly encourage all men and women to learn to use weapons to defend themselves and their families.  Don’t rely on just the males to protect the family.  Women need to learn to defend themselves as well.  And learn to use non-conventional weapons.   Teach your young men and young women close quarter combat skills:  how to handle a knife, how to use a knife, how to make a knife out of scrap metal; how to feed themselves off the land; how to produce potable water and sustain themselves without going to the store to buy provisions.   We must all learn basic first aid, the care of wounds and how to conceal ourselves.  There will be times when we must be hidden and quiet.   When Jesus was pursued by the crowd and they intended to take hold of Him, Jesus concealed himself and left the area.  He didn’t just give himself over to them.  When the disciples were on the boat and were being tossed by the storm, they didn’t just jump into the sea and say ‘Oh well, I’m going to be with the Lord’.   Once you get into those camps, at least have the testicular fortitude to die like a man or woman, and don’t become an informant telling them where other Christians are hiding.  And please note that you will be tortured.  Long before you die in the camps, you will be begging to die.   You don’t have to wait on Al Qaeda, nor do you have to wait on the globalists to kill you.  If you really are in a rush to see the Lord, then go play in traffic.  There are numerous hate groups that would be glad to send you on your way to martyrdom.  But please note that if you know that what you are doing will actively lead to your death, then you are, in essence, committing suicide.  And if you are concerned about what the Bible says, read what it says about suicide:  throwing God’s greatest gift back in His face.   I don’t condone nor endorse anything that other pastors have signed on to.  The members of the Church of Philadelphia know scripture and they know where I stand on this issue.  They have been well taught so that in these days they can use the discernment placed within them.  This is the time when you should be teaching that you have need to be taught.  The members of the Church of Philadelphia are not of those people.  They have been taught.  If you are still asking the basic questions of Christianity, then you have more pressing issues to deal with than internment camps.   Every one of the apostles died terribly and horribly, but they died defending their faith not cowering on their knees.  Nor did they water down the word.   When we remember on Memorial Day those who gave their lives, it becomes very clear that FREEDOM has nothing to do with FREE.  There is a price to pay for freedom.  Just as Jesus paid the ultimate price so that we might have spiritual freedom, we may be called to pay a price as well.  But the ultimate sacrifice has already been paid.    The apocalyptic books of the Bible are very clear that there will be war, sickness, famine, drought and civil unrest.  It is at our very doorstep.  It is unwise to think that you can passively sit by and wait for a rapture that isn’t going to happen.  Or that you can rely on a demon-possessed globalist regime to take care of you and show you compassion.  Just because Jesus came first as the Lamb doesn’t mean that is His only attribute.  He is the Lion of Judah and an Ensign of the People.  He is coming to righteously judge and to make war against evil.     Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.   Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.   Isaiah 11:10-16 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
