An Introduction
I was raised Christian (Pentecostal). One Sunday, when I was about 15 years old (in the year 1994 or 1995), I was in church with my mother, ...

The Lying Physician and the Tongue of Fire
Today I had an interesting dream - and I'm currently unsure what to make of it (if anything at all). It was as a cloudy day. Out of curiosity, I was in a doctor's office observing patients. Some of the patients had told stories of how they had been patients of this physician for a long time and had been previously ill; but then the physician gave them new meds and they got better, only to feel bad again after a period of time. One of the female patients had coughed badly and showed her pink/bloody mucus to one of the other patients and told him that at one time her mucus was dark until the physician helped her.
My mind put 2 and 2 together in a weird way and I realized that the physician was the cause of all their illnesses. The physician had only been helping them to increase the size of his bank account, only to then make those people ill all over again to increase it further. I became so terribly infuriated at that physician that I didn't immediately realize what was going on above me. Yahweh was roaring loudly and violently and constantly over the entire Washington, DC area. His voice thundered with so much bass and rage. I went outside and found some of my friends, and told them all that what they were hearing was the voice of Yahweh. The ones who I have talked to previously about Yahweh, and had seen His messengers with me, became less fearful of the sound; but there was one who I had never spoken to about God, and he was terrified.
The nature of this dream was very poetic, and Yahweh's voice was so penetrating and clamorous that I'm still not 100% sure that I simply dreamed it. (It was similar to when the TV is on while you're sleep and you hear the sounds and words in your dream). Yahweh had enough of the wickedness in this place and felt the need to protest in a marvelous way. And the acts of that physician (whom I never did get to see) pissed both of us off.
Jeremiah 25:30 ~ “Yahweh will roar from on high and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His fold. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.”

Fighting the wrong battle
Perhaps they'll find a better solution in attacking capitalism and poverty rather than attacking the defensive poor.

On Salvation - from Brent
A few tweets to 'preach the gospel' of justification by faith thru grace, in opposition to all those preachers of the religious sharia law.

If Abraham was justified by his good works (such as in making a 'personal choice for Jesus') then truly has something to boast about.

If those who are of the religious sharia law are the heirs then faith is made null and void, for the law only brings judgments and wrath.
— Brent Herbert (@bkherbert99) May 8, 2017
For as their own law states 'cursed be all those who do not do the required work of salvation by choosing Jesus' as written in their law.
— Brent Herbert (@bkherbert99) May 8, 2017
But the promise is an outcome of faith to make it stable and guaranteed and not just to those who follow some religious law.

Therefore salvation does not depend on the Will of God but rests upon the shaky foundation of human effort and human will.

They attempt to justify their graceless legalism by claiming that Jesus was a Leviticus cow that had to be killed to 'pay the price of sin'.

Jeremiah 7 "God gave them no commandments to sacrifice animals'; they claim Bible authority but nullify a prophet to keep their doctrine
— Brent Herbert (@bkherbert99) May 8, 2017
But what does the righteousness of faith tell us? It erases their arbitrary deadline of condemnation.
— Brent Herbert (@bkherbert99) May 8, 2017
Therefore all those preachers of the law must nullify even the possibility of such grace in favor of their own faithless legalistic gospel.
— Brent Herbert (@bkherbert99) May 8, 2017
Therefore the religious law teaches that God came to condemn the world, not to save it; it was possible to do better, but didn't happen.
