--- begin ---

Greetings Brethren,

I wish to apologize for the problems some of you have had by my letters or someone else's because of what I sent out. I did not intend to be a burden on any of you, but was doing what was in my heart. From now on I'm sending these letters with all the other email addresses removed. This way you won't receive any emails from anyone else using the letters I send. I should have done this at the first, but I didn't realize this problem would arise. So Please forgive me.

From now on any comments will be sent to me only. If I feel that they would be to the edifying of the Believers I will send them to you. I'm not here to try and cause confusion, so I will control it as best as I can. I want to edify you and increase your faith in God. The only way I know how to do this is by placing you on a Foundation which is revealed in the Scriptures. So I, as every minister, must sometimes destroy false foundations, which are false teachings, in order to place the Christian on the True Foundation Jesus Christ the Word.

So any of you that still have the email address from the letters I sent out, I ask you in the Name of Jesus Christ, not to send any more emails to this group using the email addresses I have already sent. I will know if you do, as I was crafty and placed another email address of mine in every group I sent out just so I could monitor what was being sent.

I have nothing to gain from this, except for you to be closer to the Lord.

I have received various results from Christians upon mailing out the two emails. Most have been an encouragement to me and others, for they see and know that what I brought out by those two last letters is the Truth. So I simple brought this issue before the congregation. The problem was already there, I just revealed it, or brought it out into the open.

Why some where encouraged is that they thought perhaps they was the only ones that seen the evil that is going on among some of the churches because of the perverse doctrines some ministers who say they follow the message of William Branham are preaching.

So be of good cheer Little Flock, you have brothers and sisters scattered around the world, and it is your Fathers good pleasure to give unto you the Kingdom.

Here are a few quotes from just a few of those who shared with me their experience.

[quote] Thanks for the letter. I can honestly say that I know what you are talking about. I attended a "message church" for many years with the same denominational spirit that you spoke about. I am so thankful to the Lord that He has lead me to a ministry that is totally Word/message based. [endquote]
============
[quote] I am sure that you have sturred up a hornets nest and will receive plenty of mail to that effect. Either that or no one will really care. My testamony is the same as yours also to this affect. That there is a spirit of decention among the brothers and sisters. I also believe some churches are so fearful of being decieved they play tapes only. This I beleive is ok if no pastor with the Holy Spirit is available. Not for fear though. Then there are those that are totally of off the Word of God being married twice themselves as a pastor and many other doctrines of man do they preach. [endquote]
============
[quote] My request is this. I was convinced of this many years ago. Send me the scriptural conclusion. What are we to do? No need to try and convince this Bible Believer any further, but what is the answer to our problem according to scripture. [endquote]
============
[quote] Dear Bro. Paul,Responding to your concern,I am reminded one time when I was back in Jefferson ville in,I believe 1974.I was at the Easter meetings.I was with a group where we had a bus that carried approximatly 70 people.We had,in between the scheduled meeting been able to persuade Bro. Edgar "DOC" Branham,Bro. Branham's blood brother to take us on a guided tour of the places that Bro. Branham talked about on tape.That was such a Blessing! [which I was able to tape] I was sitting next to him.During ths time the conversation came up about comparing Denominations with the Message.At that point,Bro. "Doc"said one time he and Bro. Branham were driving past the tabernacle in a old model T,and Bro. Branham turned to him and said"Doc",there is nine-hundred and sixty-nine denominations,and we have come out of them! AND THERE WILL BE THAT MANY COME OUT OF THIS. [endquote]
============
[quote] Brother Paul,
I agree with a lot of what you wrote. I believe that the Elect CANNOT be deceived and I am sure that you know that God is dealing with the hearts of the Bride wherever they may be.......many of them do not even have Internet access or know what it is. I have lovely brothers and sisters out in the rural areas of Africa. Many "preachers" and "pastors" of international repute have not even bothered to visit these preferring to go where they can be accommodated in plush homes and hotels. I have seen God work with this poor neglected lot and have cried many-a-times and begged God for his mercy upon me and all of us Message Believers. [endquote]
============

Some think I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing as their different testimonies proclaim. Let me address some of these to clear this up.

[quote] Have you ever though about using another media than email. Email was not design for that kind of "debates". What about newsgroups or forums! [endquote]

As I said in a earlier letter, I didn't plan to do this at all. I believe it was the Lord who led me to do what I am doing, and I don't question Him. And how do we know but what God didn't intend to use email to put forth His Word in this hour? Could I have came into your church and said these things?

I also am not debating anything, but speaking the Truth according to the Word. If speaking the Truth is debating, then every minister of the Gospel does this including Jesus Christ Himself. So if by answering this letter is debating, so be it. I will stand for, and defend the faith.

[quote] Mr. Paul McAroy and any of your defenders that may write;
Just to let you know, I DO believe the message of the hour. And ask that you take me off your E-Mail list. I do not want to receive any more of your junk mail. I get junk mail at home in our regular mail, I get junk mail at work, and I DO NOT want to receive any junk mail on my E-Mail. I know that you believe you are the watchman, however, I have a watchman, my Pastor, and I do not need you to be my watchman. My pastor is the one who God ordained to see me through. [endquote]

If someone defends me as a man, it means nothing. But it they are defending the Word it means everything. Many do not consider what I have written as junk. Is it not true that what I have revealed is exposing sin by the Word? Yes, I do believe I am a watchman of the Lord. You shall know them by their fruits, applies to me also. And yes your pastor is your shepherd, but as I was pointing out, there are many shepherds leading the Sheep astray and the Great Shepherd does not like it. So He will send someone to proclaim the Gospel so that His Sheep can follow Him, and He is the Word.

[quote] Are you using the email internet for a platform for preaching to all of us that have been christians for many, many years? [endquote]

It would appear so. But I will say this, is there a time when you are not to preach to Christians? Paul the Apostle never attained unto the fullness a Christian can come unto by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Have we attained in this hour? Some would say so, but you shall know them by their fruits.

[quote] Im just wondering if you ever been speaking to the different pastors that you talk about? It would be wiser to speak to them FIRST, before you speak to the young people. Are the pastors aware of what you speak of? [endquote]

Yes, the Lord did have me speak to them first. But they would not respond to the Word, they said they didn't "debate" their beliefs. You either have to believe it their way or leave. They want complete control over their congregation, its that Nicolaitane spirit. So after I done this the Lord instructed me to leave them alone and to gather email addresses and to send out what I have sent out. I obeyed.

[quote] Bro. Paul, can you find something else to do, rather than criticizing. Since when, have you become an authority on this Message. God will reward every man according to his works. [endquote]

If I was criticizing to be criticizing, I would be wrong in what I'm doing. But to speak the Word and reveal sin is not criticizing. I'm sure many said that bro. Branham was criticizing the churches for the things he said. Do you think he was? I certainly am not an authority on the Message of William Branham or of the Scriptures. If a person ever thought he was he would be deceiving himself. But I do believe I have the same Spirit that was in William Branham, which was also in all the other prophets and saints since the beginning of time. He, the Holy Spirit, is the Authority of the Message revealed in the Scriptures. If He be in me then the Message is in me. And if He be in you then the Message is in you. Is He not the Revealer of ALL Truth?

[quote] I could not help it but write this to you brother. I am sorry if I sound too strong but something is burning inside me and I have to let out, and cry out. I have always fought against spirits that look for mistakes among the Bride and frankly I believe this is just one of them. First of all the true Bride has no confusion, not a cult and have nothing to do with what you said. Dont you think by writing such letters and qouting the prophet extensively as you did only adds to the confusion. Only by listening to the voice of the 7th angel shall we be saved. [endquote]

Would you say the Bride or a Christian would pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ as I've shown and proved that it is being perverted? Would a Christian belong to and support a cult? I sure don't believe so. And according to the Word they wouldn't. So then it must not be the Bride that I'm speaking about. Do you see that?

Also by quoting bro.Branham I reveal and show that those who say they follow his teachings, don't. This does not cause confusion, but clears it up.

If only listening to the voice of the 7th angel, bro. Branham, causes one to be saved. Why are the churches in the condition they are? And those that only listen to his messages, and see the Scriptures as secondary are even in the worse condition of them all. Doesn't that tell you something?

Come back to the Scriptures Brethren. It is the only place to place your faith.

I wrote this to a brother this morning and I believe I'll repeat it here.

[quote] Many have forsaken the Scriptures for guidance and revelation, and have turned to the messages of bro. Branham. To do this is to go against what bro. Branham even taught. If they was to just think about what bro. Branhams ministry was they would see they have approached his sermons in the wrong way. Was he not sent among other things, to clear up and reveal the mysteries of the Scriptures? So it is the Scriptures we are to use with a clear understanding of doctrine, because of the ministry of William Branham. Instead some use his messages as the Bible, comparing message with message, instead of comparing Scripture with Scripture. [endquote]

Until next time Brethren, Shalom.
Paul McAroy
