This evening I have a presentation which I was scheduled to give at the upcoming Florida League of the South State Conference, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to attend. While I am saddened by that situation, men cannot be entirely confident what the future may bring, and for that reason we can never be certain of what we may be able to do tomorrow, even when we truly desire to keep our commitments. Because the format for this presentation has changed, I lengthened it somewhat as it was originally meant for about 45 or 50 minutes. I have not added anything to the theme, but only elaborated on some of the explanations. This subject was also the theme of a conversation which I had with Dr. Michael Hill some months ago, but of course in that circumstance I was not able to present this in its entirety. Hoping to do that in January, but having a necessity to change my plans, I will present it here and now. I pray that members of the Florida League of the South also listen to it here instead, as I believe they should hear it, and I pray that they consider what is said.

We all want to separate ourselves from the evil American empire. We all want to see the fall of what the Christian scriptures describe as Mystery Babylon. But there are righteous causes for secession, and there are unrighteous causes. We can only hope to be worthy of Christian liberty when we follow Christ and keep His commandments. So long as we continue on any other path, we are only deserving of tyranny, and we shall never secede. Then even if the American Empire crumbles, so long as our State is infested with sin, and we accept it, it will only fall subject to even worse tyranny. God will not be mocked. He will grant us deliverance from tyranny only upon our collective repentance, and even repentance is a gift from God, so we had better pray for it [Acts 5:30-31, 2 Timothy 2:24-26]. Do not be deceived: we shall never somehow bypass our God and vote our own way to freedom. These are not just words; this is truth, and you have no other choice but utter failure.

The Widening Gulf and the Tolerance of Evil

Modern Americans are now so far detached from their colonial roots that most of them would not even understand some of the things which we shall say here, mostly because they have no basis in any knowledge that such understanding requires. Modern Americans are now so far detached from their Christian past, and so much imbued with Jewish so-called “pop culture”, which is even spread in their churches, that they would be offended by some of the things which we shall say here.

Only 250 years ago, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was the most popular publication in America. It was read in churches, taverns and meeting halls throughout the thirteen States, and it was certainly the document most responsible for garnering support in the cause of secession from Britain. But that cause was very much a moral cause, triggered by the perceived injustices of a nobility which was above the law. Only in that limited sense did Thomas Jefferson state that all men are created equal, but he failed to express it fully enough at a particularly crucial moment in history, and modern misconceptions haunt us today. Jefferson clarified himself in later writings, but it was too late and perhaps he could not have foreseen how the abbreviated statement would be abused in future generations.

The Clergy Claims God Committed Fraud, and Adultery! A Review of a Paper by Clifton Emahiser.

Here we are going to present, critique and hopefully be able to elaborate upon a paper by our dear friend Clifton Emahiser, which, according to his own records, he had written in April of 2007. It has been 23 months since we have reviewed any of Clifton’s work, so it is well past time that we gave him a visit.

There are lies which Christian churches have taught for over 1,800 years, and when these lies are examined against Scripture, there is no way in which they could possibly be true or Christian, since the Scripture tells a completely different story. So all who perpetuate those lies in the name of Christ are basically accusing Him of fraud, and that is the point which Clifton shall make here. But they are also accusing Him indirectly of other sins, such as adultery, and here we shall endeavor to explain that as well. These lies are a system of Bible interpretation which we generally describe as “replacement theology”, which we can begin to identify in the writings of the so-called “Church Fathers” as early as Justin Martyr and the middle of the 2nd century of the Christian era. Justin lived as an adult and wrote his several works about one hundred years after the death of Paul of Tarsus.

But the lies do not reflect the teachings of the apostles. It is fully evident in various statements in the epistles of James, Peter, and especially those of Paul, that those epistles were written to the twelve tribes scattered abroad, who at that time were found in Europe, Anatolia, Syria, and Mesopotamia. As Flavius Josephus and other historical sources attest, since the Assyrian and Babylonian deportations and until the Roman destruction of Jerusalem there were chiefly only a remnant of three tribes in Judaea during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, who had ever called themselves Judaeans. That remnant represented a small portion of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. A greater portion of those three tribes were taken into Assyrian captivity, or had never returned from those who were later taken into Babylonian captivity.

This evening we have a conversation with Michael Tubbs, the Chief of Staff and Florida State Chairman of the League of the South. We have been honored to work with Michael these past five years, and this is our first opportunity to speak to him here at Christogenea.

Here Michael tells us about how he had first joined the League of the South, his discovery of Christian Identity, his experience at Charlottesville and several other  related subjects. 

The SCOTUS decision which I could not remember during the discussion, in which anti-Sodomy laws were struck down, is Lawrence v. Texas, which was in 2003, and even more recent than I had thought. Until 1961, every American State had anti-Sodomy laws.

The 1967 SCOTUS decision which struck down anti-race-mixing laws throughout the South is Loving v. Virginia. Other States had already repealed such laws.

In Partnership with Yahweh, A Critical Review of a Sermon by Bertrand Comparet

Not counting his commentary series on the Revelation, which we do not plan to critique here, there are nearly 130 sermons posted at the Bertrand Comparet archive at Christogenea. Now, over these past few years, we have already critiqued about a third of them, and we have greatly expanded on more than a few, such as his sermons on Ruth and Esther, and especially his sermon on Christianity in the Old Testament. Our first critique of his work was his sermon on Esther, which we discussed over three of our own presentations in the Spring of 2015, and we have presented commentary on about three dozen of his other sermons since then.

To us this undertaking is important, because for so many Identity Christians, Bertrand Comparet’s work provided a foundation for their understanding of Scripture and was instrumental in helping them to develop a basis for the substance of their faith. Therefore, if we take our faith seriously, that basis must be continually contemplated, measured against Scripture, and if one tenet or another is not upheld by Scripture then we must allow ourselves to be corrected. As we read in the 119th Psalm: “12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. 13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.”

But Bertrand Comparet is not the only Identity teacher or pastor from the past which we have critiqued, and we have treated Wesley Swift, Charles Weisman, and even our dear friend Clifton Emahiser in the same manner, always trying to be as objective as possible. Clifton actually enjoyed, and often watched my critiques of his work in person, even when he did not participate. In fact, we have critiqued many more of Clifton’s papers than those of any other writer, and I feel at least partially responsible for many of them because I worked with Clifton and edited most of them. So our objective is certainly not to trash the graves of dead men, but rather, we seek to build up an even more solid foundation for our faith, in which we endeavor to examine all things and find what is true, and to cleave to that, as Paul of Tarsus advised the Romans, in chapter 12 of his epistle, to “ 2 … be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Now in our endeavor to advance that objective we shall critique this sermon, which is titled In Partnership with Yahweh, because it is highly illustrative of some of the most fundamental differences which we have with Bertrand Comparet. These differences have been the cause of many disputes between ourselves and many long-time Christian Identity adherents over the past twenty years, and regardless of how much we respect Bertrand Comparet, some of his work is still very much in need of correction. However even doing this, we have already critiqued some of the ideas he presents here in relation to another of his sermons, titled Noah's Flood Was Not World Wide, which we presented here in September of 2020. So we shall borrow some of our criticisms for this sermon.
