Just like the
Pharisees who demanded perfection on the outside while on the inside they were full of dead men’s bones Matt 23:27. Just like the
“men of God” like
Bob Gray who died an unrepentant child molester who once offered up prayers for Elvis Presley's salvation after declaring that the singer had "achieved a new low in spiritual degeneracy." Steven Anderson once had a
“Repentance Blacklist” that included Charles Spurgeon to Billy Graham and everyone in between who ever dared mention from the pulpit or in a gospel tract that men must
“repent and believe the gospel” like Jesus did (Mark 1:15) or when Peter told Simon to
“repent of his wickedness” for Simon was
“in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity” even after he had made a
“profession of faith” motivated by selfish reasons. He believed that he himself could gain power like the apostles had (Acts 8:9-23).
Justin Martyr and
Irenaeus believed Simon was the
antichrist because he continued his sorcery, even founding
Gnosticism in spite of the fact that he
“believed” just like the demons believe (James 2:19).
1John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
1John 3:10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
2Cor 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Bob Gray a major leader of southern Fundamentalism, died Sunday of an unspecified cause. A picture of Bob Gray preaching against the sensuality of Elvis Presley's music appeared in a 1956 edition of Life magazine. | Elvis Presley
