Eli James - 2006-04-21 - The first letter.

A Christogenea commentary On the Gospel of John has recently been completed. Many passages simply do not say what the modern churches think they mean! Don't miss this important and ground-breaking work proving that Christian Identity is indeed fully supported by Scripture.

A Commentary on Genesis is now being presented. Here we endeavor to explain the very first book of the Christian Bible from a perspective which reconciles both the Old and New Testaments with archaeology and ancient history, through eyes which have been opened by the Gospel of Christ.

A Commentary on the Epistles of Paul has been completed at Christogenea.org. This lengthy and in-depth series reveals the true Paul as an apostle of God, a prophet in his own right, and the first teacher of what we call Christian Identity.

Don't miss our recently-completed series of commentaries on the Minor Prophets of the Bible, which has also been used as a vehicle to prove the historicity of the Bible as well as the Provenance of God.

This is the first letter I received from Eli James, while I was in prison. The letter has been scanned and appears with the original envelope below. It was postmarked April 21st, 2006 and sent from Chicago. Eli, whose real name I later found out was Jospeh November, often tells people that I went looking for him after I got out of prison. These letters, which I only had the chance to retrieve from storage recently, prove that he is once again lying.

The text of the letter:

CHURCH OF THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL
Pastor Eli James, c/o ANP POB 411373 Chicago IL 60641

William Finck, #18163-050

Dear Mr. Finck:

I have been receiving Clifton's newsletters for many years now, so let me congratulate you on the fine work you are doing for him.

I am a 2-seedline Identity minister. I have a prison ministry as well as a local and travelling ministry. Clifton and I speak frequently and I visited him about a month ago.

The reason I am writing to you is because I am jumping into the Saul/Paul fracas. Many on my email list are Paul haters; and I have not given them anything to chew on because I think they are wrong on numerous interpretations. I agree that the writings of Paul have been used to promote universalism and antinomianism, but I also assert that these doctrines come about only because of poor translations and because of deliberate out of context readings that ignore contrary verses.

Clifton says you are well versed in the Greek language; and he showed me a copy of your upcoming book about Paul's writings. I am looking for an ally, or at least an honest interpreter, to demonstrate to the anti-Paulians that bashing Paul is the wrong approach. Problem verses do need to be addressed, but blaming them on Paul, in my opinion, ignores all of the translation problems with the KJV. I have just started a series on Saul/Paul. I would like send them to you for your comments.

I am enclosing the first two, so you can see where I'm coming from. I have also enclosed a copy of my newsletter for your consideration.

Yours in the NAME of Yahweh,
[Signed]
Pastor Eli James

p.s. I got your address from Ralph Daigle. He sends his regards.

I will post the other prison letters I received from Eli James in the near future.

I scribbled some notes on the face of it, but here is the return envelope:
