Are Christians who support Ralph Gonsalves abandoning their faith?

StJohnsAshfield_StainedGlass_GoodShepherd_PortraitBy Johannes King

The popularity of Ralph Gonsalves among self-identified Christians must lead national figures in Vincentian Christianity to question whether large swaths of the church even know what their faith teaches, and how it applies to public and political life.

The split is between a subset of Christians best categorized as “creedal” believers—those who take their faith most seriously and who oppose Gonsalves. Less devout Christians, often described as “notional” or “cultural,” are more open to the influence of the lawyer with a political doctorate and leader of the Gonsalves family dynasty. Many Vincentian Christian leaders are on the side of creedal believers. They are on the side of creedal but like so many modern Vincentian Christians are basically cowards and frightened to speak out. They are very brave when administering Gods word to their flock and collecting alms and tithe, but outside their Church they quiver in their shoes at the thought of confronting or being confronted by Ralph Gonsalves. When compared to someone like Martin Luther King they are a collection of rejects.

Gonsalves is a man that has a long record of being a Marxist-Leninist. He is a failed revolutionary and a pretender of the Christian faith. He is a supporter and political compatriot of such people as the Castro brothers and Venezuelas Maduro and before him Hugo Chavez. But unlike most others he wears their friendship as a badge of honor and pride.

Nonetheless, many anti-Gonsalves Christian leaders believe that the Vincentian Church’s have been in decline for decades, leaving many casual Christians — for whom faith is more of a cultural identity rather than a day-to-day experience — vulnerable to Gonsalves appeals to anger and resentment.

Anti-Gonsalves Christians have not quite questioned the faith of Gonsalves voters. But they’ve come close, arguing that Gonsalves supporters are not applying Christian thinking and values to their decisions at the polls.

For instance for Vincentian Christians to take building materials from the Unity Labour Party [ULP] fully well knowing that it is stolen government property given to them as an incentive, in fact as a bribe to vote ULP, they cannot be classed as true Christians. The giver the receiver and those Christian leaders who fail to speak out commit a sin. Because such behavior is an unChristian act which is more in line with the behavior of Satan. For the so called Christian leaders to stay quiet on such matters makes them involved in the workings of Satan, certainly not the work of Jesus Christ.

A worshipper from a Vincentian Church told me, “We were told by our pastor that it is more important to obey our political leaders than to question what they are doing.” That in itself exposes the evil that is being administered in some Churches.

Christian leaders who themselves are given incentives to promote Gonsalves and the ULP, whereby incentives are again little more than bribes. Such as tax exemptions, import duties waved, cash grants and social invitations. They that allow those incentives to cloud their duty as a Christian leader are practicing Satanist’s, doing the work and will of Satan, certainly not the work of Jesus Christ.

Even Saint Vincent’s Christian Council is tainted by Satanic workings, their failure to comment or condemn the evil that went on prior to and after the December 2016 elections. They owed a clear duty to God and to all Christians to speak out about the obvious fraud that they witnessed. Two or three of those Council members who are inflicted with Satan, who are paid or bribed supporters of the evil regime, were able to convince the others to stay quiet on the matter. But those with any God like decency in their hearts should still have spoken out even if it broke a Council code of togetherness and solidarity. Because what they did was express and imply their solidarity with the workings of Satan. It is still not too late for them to speak out, it will not have the same effect now but at least we can see who true to the faith among them.

Whilst the ‘creedal’ Christian leaders see Gonsalves as the antithesis of everything they and their faith stand for. Gonsalves arrogance and brashness — including his statement that he has never had to ask God for forgiveness — also contradicts their belief in the importance of humility. His past infidelities, his failure to demand court hearings on all the sexual assault and a rape allegation against him, divorce and his long record of misogynistic comments stand in opposition to their high regard for personal character. They see Gonsalves willingness to lie, blatantly and repeatedly, as morally wrong, alarming and insulting. In fact Ralph Gonsalves is a self confessed liar, he told the nation that he sometimes tells lies. Besides that there are many obviously glaring lies that one can actually point to.

I am sure a substantial number of those decent Christian leaders believe, Gonsalves is misleading Vincentian Christians about the very nature of power. Rather than having confident faith that empowers them to love and serve others, Gonsalves has tapped into spite and malice, fear and anger, and channeled it into hatred against sections of the citizenship that do not support him.

When we pursue the honor of men, we do so at the expense of our relationship with God. If we continue to do so, gradually men will take the place of God in our lives. An unhealthy soul tie is created, and our sense of confidence is determined by our standing with those in leadership. This kind of control will destroy people spiritually!

“The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.” –
Karl Marx

The nineteenth-century German thinker Karl Marx, the founder and primary theorist of Marxism, had an ambivalent and complex attitude to religion, viewing it primarily as “the soul of soulless conditions”, the “opium of the people” that had been useful to the ruling classes since it gave the working classes false hope for millennia. At the same time Marx saw religion as a form of protest by the working classes against their poor economic conditions and their alienation.

In the Marxist–Leninist interpretation of Marxist theory, developed primarily by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, religion is seen as retarding human development. Due to this, a number of Marxist–Leninist governments in the twentieth century, such as the Soviet Union after Lenin and the People’s Republic of China, implemented rules introducing state atheism.

Marxist’s also believe it’s OK to lie about being a Christian if it gets them elected or into a position of power. They also believe it’s OK to tell lies about their faith to keep themselves permanently in power once they have gained that power. They also believe it is OK to lie to counteract what they describe as religious quackery.

So what do we do about our Satanic religious leaders, and their unknowing Satanic tainted followers. Followers do not even realize they have become tainted by Satan and are in danger of no longer being true Christians, who may have they been doomed to the fires of hell instead of the gates of heaven. It really is time that Saint Vincents religious leaders lead as Christians, stop associating and affiliating with Marxist monsters. It’s time for them to put aside personal greed and refuse the goodies and financial rewards offered them by politicians. It’s time for them to rebuke their flocks who accept stolen government building materials to vote for a particular party or person. It’s time to get back to true Christian values.

Sadly there are many false believers who will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation.

When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word.

Beware there are many
1. Matthew 15:8 “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.

3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless.

4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark.

5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good.

Fake Christians sin on purpose saying I’ll just repent later and disobey God’s teachings. Even though we are all sinners Christians don’t sin willfully and deliberately.
6. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

7. 1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ.

8. 1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil has been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God.

9. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

10. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you?

These people think there is another way to get into Heaven.
11. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

True Christians have new affections and love Jesus.
12. John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

13. 1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.

14. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

They are hypocrites. Even though the Bible says we are to lovingly, kindly, and gently go to our brothers and sisters alone to correct them of their sins, how can you do that, but you’re doing the same thing as them just as much or even more than them? People who do things for show such as give to the poor and other acts of kindness to be seen by others are also hypocrites.

15. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

16. Matthew 6:1-2 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

17. Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

They will not enter into Heaven. False converts will be denied.
18. Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

19. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

20. Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Fake Christians are false preachers, and false prophets just like the cast of Preachers of LA.
21. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

22. Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

23. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

24. Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Reminder
25. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

I sent a copy of this to a number of people before asking for it to be posted here. One of those people was Peter Binose, here is part of a reply he sent and asked me to include.

“Going to Church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car.” “Erh! Comrade.”
