‘Mid-Acts-ers’ spout about Paul being the ONLY ONE who had ‘the mystery’ .... well, according to the scriptures, he wasn’t! In this passage, we see that Apollos and Cephas were ALSO faithful stewards of the mystery, as well as Paul:
1 Cor 3:21-23 Therefore let no man glory in men.
For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1 Cor 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Let’s re-read 1 Cor 4:1, in sections, with analysis:
1 Cor 4:1 Let a man so account of us (us, who? us in the context = Paul, Apollos, and Peter),
as of the ministers (Greek [huperetes] also translated ‘servants’) of Christ,
and stewards (Greek [oikonomos] like ‘dispensers’ from the same root word as [oikonomia] for ‘dispensation’)
of the mysteries (Greek [musterion] also translated in the singular, mystery) of God.
The passage (1 Cor 3:21-23, 1 Cor 4:1-2 together) proves that at least 2 other men -- other than Paul -- were dispensers of the mystery of God.
Do you listen to a FAITHFUL minister, who is TRUE to God’s Word (as found in the English language in the KJV), or do you heed the words of an unfaithful servant?
Prov 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness:
but a faithful man who can find?
If you’ve given your attention to ‘mid-Acts-ers’ .... you should realize, by reading the verses, that they are grossly unfaithful with God’s word.

Standing on the Promises of God
Talking about ‘mid-Acts’ preachers before him, I have heard the Cunning Royal Jester say that we stand on their shoulders, but they did not see as far as we see. He excused them, stating they just didn’t have time to think things through. In retrospect, I believe they were not as radical at dividing as the CRJ is. He makes nearly 2 of everything .... 2 Jesus’ .... 2 groups of saints (those saved through Paul’s ministry vs. all other believers) .... 2 sets of last days .... 2 or 3 future comings of the Lord .... 2 different eternal destinies .... 3 churches (those before Paul, those by Paul, those after Paul) .... 3 or more resurrections .... the Holy Spirit / Ghost, etc.
Instead of standing on the shoulders of earlier ‘mid-Acts’ preachers .... to divide even more than they did, I would rather stand on God’s promises, like GOD, through ‘our’ apostle Paul, said:
2 Cor 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
GOD, through ‘our’ apostle Paul, explained that the promise of the Spirit we have, was the PROPHETIC one that God promised Abraham way back when:
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Anyone who denies the verses that Abraham is their father .... well, maybe they will get what they believe and want:
2 Tim 2:12-b if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Matt 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
God, through Paul, gave us Gentiles the benefits that He formerly promised to His people Israel. You can reference those promises in the scriptures and see Paul repeat them, and apply them to us Gentiles:
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
2 Cor 6:16-18 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Cor 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Paul wasn’t the only prophet and apostle who sent ‘grace and peace’ in the opening of every one of his epistles .... Peter did, too, when he wrote to those of the same faith in Christ. Peter also recognized the wonderful promises of God to His saints:
2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Since I got away from the Cunning Royal Jester’s denial of God's promises, and I have rejected his ‘mid-Acts’ madness .... I rejoice and glorify God for His promises to me!

Scolded for Study?
When I began studying on my own and got away from following the Cunning Royal Jester .... I did something ‘forbidden’ by the ‘mid-Acts’ Jokers! I looked into the Greek! I admit that I am no English grammar major, but I do have some sense. With a lexicon I am able to compare Greek words and their translation in different verses. I found out that ‘mid-Acts-ers’ completely distort God’s words through Paul by saying that Paul preached a different gospel than Peter preached:
Gal 2:7 But [alla]
contrariwise [tounantion],
when they saw [eido]
that [hoti]
the gospel [euaggelion]
of the uncircumcision [akrobustia]
was committed unto me [pisteuo] (The same Greek word is written 248 times, and translated "believe" 239 of them.)
as [kathos]
[the gospel] of the circumcision [peritome] (The same Greek word is written 36 times .... it is translated "circumcision" 15 times, "the circumcision" 12 times, "of circumcision" 4 times, "of the circumcision" 3 times, "with the circumcision" 1 time, and "circumcised" 1 time.)
[was] unto Peter [Petros]; ([Petros] is just Peter’s name .... with no preposition 'unto'.)
Led by the Cunning Royal Jester, ‘mid-Acts-ers’ are his staunch defenders. Both he and, likewise, they teach that Peter and Paul preached 2 separate gospels .... based upon the word ‘of’ in Gal 2:7. Let’s look at that to see why they are wrong:
Gal 2:8 (For [gar]
he that wrought effectually [energeo] (This same Greek word, similar to our English word "energy" is translated later in this same verse as "was mighty".)
in Peter [Petros] ([Petros] is just Peter’s name .... with no preposition ‘in’. Obviously, to create a doctrine with the word 'in' in this phrase would not be right, but that is how 'mid-Acts-ers craftily handle the word 'of'.)
to [eis] (This same Greek word is translated later in this same verse as "toward".)
the apostleship [apostole]
of the circumcision [peritome], (This Greek word is ‘circumcision’ and the words ‘of’ and ‘the’ are added to make an English sentence. But ‘mid-Acts-ers’ invented a doctrine of ‘2 different gospels’ from the preposition ‘of’ that does not even have its own Greek word.)
the same [kai]
was mighty [energeo] (This Greek word was translated at the first in this same verse as "he that wrought effectually".)
in me [emoi]
toward [eis] (This same Greek word was translated earlier in this same verse as "toward".)
the Gentiles [ethnos]:) (similar to our English word "ethnic")
I believe the KJV is the Word of God in the English language.
I accept it as the final authority.
I do not have any problem with the KJV.
However, I now understand that the KJV translators, from the Greek, made proper English sentences by adding prepositions, adjectives, etc. This I did not realize before. I took the Cunning Royal Jester’s word that the KJV is a word-for-word translation, and thus, there was never any reason to consult the Greek. I trusted him as my teacher, who told me that only the words in italics had been added, but I have since discovered that is not the case.
The Cunning Royal Jester announced that Strong’s numbers are .... maybe not quite "unreliable" .... but, at least, "very abbreviated" .... which may just be "code words" indicating that we common folk who can’t read Greek, have no business investigating them. He also mocked that a person would dare to consult the Greek who could not recite the Greek alphabet. For years, he has signed correspondence with the Greek word ‘Maranatha’:
1 Cor 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ,
let him be (the next two words are Greek words):
Anathema Maranatha. (Maranatha means "our Lord cometh or will come". Well, I may not pronounce the Greek properly, but I believe "what saith the scripture" about WHEN the Lord will come, and I am not like the ‘mid-Acts-ers’ who are mixed up about it.)
The CRJ uses the Greek, and wants everyone else to trust him .... yet he scolds others who want to use it themselves.

Who Are the Lord's Saints?
God chose and commissioned Paul to be the apostle of the Gentiles:
Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
That is one of the basic teachings of ‘mid-Acts-ers.’ However, they disregard the words of the very man they claim to follow and they disrespect the Lord’s word. "My brethren, these things ought not so to be." ‘Mid-Acts-ers’ wrest the scriptures .... even those scriptures that PAUL wrote (2 Peter 3:16-17).
1 Thess 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ do not believe that. They say that the ONLY saints that will return with Christ when He comes .... are those who were saved through Paul’s ministry. Thus, they SEPARATE the SAINTS into different groups of saints, when the Bible makes no such division. Actually, the word of God teaches UNITY of the church, which is all believers of all ages.
Old testament prophecies said that all the LORD’s saints will judge the people:
Psa 149:4-9 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them (the saints) sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their (the saints’) mouth, and a twoedged sword in their (the saints’) hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Paul taught the same truth:
1 Cor 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
When the LORD said "all His saints" .... He meant "ALL" His saints.
• God meant what He said .... through Moses:
Deut 33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
When the LORD said "all His saints" .... He meant "ALL" His saints.
• God meant what He said .... through Zechariah:
Zech 14:3-9 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
When the LORD said "all His saints" .... He meant "ALL" His saints.
• God meant what He said .... through Paul:
1 Thess 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
When the LORD comes .... He will bring all His saints with Him.
I will take GOD’s word -- instead of the ‘mid-Acts' stories and fables.

Faithful Ministers of the Mystery
The ‘mid-Acts-ers’ spout about Paul being the ONLY ONE who had ‘the mystery’ .... well, not according to the scriptures! In this passage, we see that Paul, Apollos, and Cephas were ALL faithful stewards of the mystery:
1 Cor 3:21-23 Therefore let no man glory in men.
For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (Keep reading on into the next verse in the passage.)
1 Cor 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us
(us, who? us in the context =Paul, Apollos, and Peter),
as of the ministers (Greek [huperetes] also translated ‘servants’) of Christ,
and stewards (Greek [oikonomos] like ‘dispensers’ from the same root word as [oikonomia] for ‘dispensation’)
of the mysteries (Greek [musterion] also translated in the singular, mystery) of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Do you listen to a FAITHFUL minister, who is TRUE to God’s Word (as found in the English language in the KJV), or do you hear an unfaithful servant?
Prov 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness:
but a faithful man who can find?
If you’ve given your attention to ‘mid-Acts-ers’ .... you need to be looking around somewhere else.
1 Cor 3:21-23 Therefore let no man glory in men.
For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

Who Is Ashamed of the Words of God and Who Is a Liar?
It is an absolute SHAME for men to CELEBRATE 400 Years of the King James Version of the Bible .... all the while REFUSING to ACCEPT the King James’ WORD for the OFFICE they hold.
Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Men who CLAIM to believe that the KJV is GOD’s word .... are LIARS when they REJECT the TITLE of their office. They CLAIM to follow PAUL .... but in practice, they do NOT follow him.
1 Tim 3:1 This is a true (not a lie) saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
Paul did not magnify HIMSELF, but he did hold his OFFICE up in honor. These ‘fake KJV-ers’ acknowledge Paul’s APOSTLESHIP, but IGNORE his example concerning the dignity of his OFFICE.
Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
The ‘mid-Acts’ dispensational preachers who identify themselves as PASTORS (metaphorical for ‘shepherds’ of ‘sheep’) strictly preach that ISRAEL is God’s sheep. How DECEITFUL! They say they are PASTORS, but they have NO SHEEP! Instead they try to be SHEPHERDS of a ‘BODY of Christ’ .... not of a FLOCK. Don’t let them ‘pull the wool’ over your eyes!
They made a big issue with the KJV word ‘dispensation’ .... how to USE it, PRESERVE it, not CHANGE it. But they do not handle the KJV word ‘bishop’ with the same RESPECT. That is a double standard.
‘Faithfulness’ is what God, through Paul, said He seeks:
1 Cor 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers ([huperetes] also translated ‘servants’) of Christ, and stewards ([oikonomos] a similar Greek word as [oikonomia] translated ‘dispensation’) of the mysteries ([musterion] also translated in the singular ‘mystery’) of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
The church bulletin of the Cunning Royal Jester has his title changed from ‘Pastor’ to ‘Elder’. Now he describes himself as a ‘teaching elder’. Why the change? An admission of guilt? Why not get right? Why not BE the bishop you ARE? When a man who IS a bishop AVOIDS the KJV word ‘bishop’ .... he is being UNFAITHFUL to the word of GOD.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
They DODGE the one KJV word ‘bishop’ .... and SUBSTITUTE other words, like ‘pastor, brother, minister, elder, preacher, etc.’. Thus, they are NOT ‘KJV’ as they PRETEND to be. For example:
1 Cor 5:6 Your glorying is not good.
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Gal 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
EVERY time the KJV uses ‘bishop’ .... The Living Bible uses ‘pastor’ in its place.
The bishops who EVADE the name of their office are TWO-FACED. On one face, they give lip service to the KJV; on the other face, they SPURN the KJV name of the OFFICE they hold.
None of them have any problem with the KJV word DEACON:
1 Tim 3:10, 13 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
A man who is a TRUE KJV Bible believer, who takes care of the church of God, will call himself what GOD calls him .... a BISHOP. He desires doing a good work for the Lord:
1 Tim 3:1-2 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop,
he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
The IMPOSTORS who claim to be KJV, but are not, are deceiving people.
Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward ([oikonomos] like ‘dispenser’) of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Paul addressed his epistle to the saints, BISHOPS, and deacons at Philippi:
Phil 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
The KJV TRAITORS are having Bible conferences this year with the 400 Years of KJV theme. What a shameful MOCKERY of God’s HOLY Word! Do you really want to support liars?
They do not believe God, and they do not follow Paul.
Instead they follow the Cunning Royal Jester, as he follows Paul.
1 Cor 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
This is David Dowell saying, “Think about it!”
Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Men who CLAIM to believe that the KJV is GOD’s word .... are LIARS when they REJECT the TITLE of their office. They CLAIM to follow PAUL .... but in practice, they do NOT follow him.
1 Tim 3:1 This is a true (not a lie) saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
Paul did not magnify HIMSELF, but he did hold his OFFICE up in honor. These ‘fake KJV-ers’ acknowledge Paul’s APOSTLESHIP, but IGNORE his example concerning the dignity of his OFFICE.
Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
The ‘mid-Acts’ dispensational preachers who identify themselves as PASTORS (metaphorical for ‘shepherds’ of ‘sheep’) strictly preach that ISRAEL is God’s sheep. How DECEITFUL! They say they are PASTORS, but they have NO SHEEP! Instead they try to be SHEPHERDS of a ‘BODY of Christ’ .... not of a FLOCK. Don’t let them ‘pull the wool’ over your eyes!
They made a big issue with the KJV word ‘dispensation’ .... how to USE it, PRESERVE it, not CHANGE it. But they do not handle the KJV word ‘bishop’ with the same RESPECT. That is a double standard.
‘Faithfulness’ is what God, through Paul, said He seeks:
1 Cor 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers ([huperetes] also translated ‘servants’) of Christ, and stewards ([oikonomos] a similar Greek word as [oikonomia] translated ‘dispensation’) of the mysteries ([musterion] also translated in the singular ‘mystery’) of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
The church bulletin of the Cunning Royal Jester has his title changed from ‘Pastor’ to ‘Elder’. Now he describes himself as a ‘teaching elder’. Why the change? An admission of guilt? Why not get right? Why not BE the bishop you ARE? When a man who IS a bishop AVOIDS the KJV word ‘bishop’ .... he is being UNFAITHFUL to the word of GOD.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
They DODGE the one KJV word ‘bishop’ .... and SUBSTITUTE other words, like ‘pastor, brother, minister, elder, preacher, etc.’. Thus, they are NOT ‘KJV’ as they PRETEND to be. For example:
1 Cor 5:6 Your glorying is not good.
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Gal 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
EVERY time the KJV uses ‘bishop’ .... The Living Bible uses ‘pastor’ in its place.
The bishops who EVADE the name of their office are TWO-FACED. On one face, they give lip service to the KJV; on the other face, they SPURN the KJV name of the OFFICE they hold.
None of them have any problem with the KJV word DEACON:
1 Tim 3:10, 13 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
A man who is a TRUE KJV Bible believer, who takes care of the church of God, will call himself what GOD calls him .... a BISHOP. He desires doing a good work for the Lord:
1 Tim 3:1-2 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop,
he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Repositioning on a Slippery Slope?
During Sunday Evening Story-Time on September 19, 2010, with the IL teaching elder, he mentioned, at least 3 times, that (to change his paradigm) you have to “redefine the day of the Lord”.
The Cunning Royal Jester makes a lot of statements, telling you how to ‘think like he thinks’ .... but he cannot prove his paradigm with scripture verses. Some of his quotes in the above mentioned message were as follows:
We call ourselves ‘pre-trib rapture believers’.
I study 50 things about it, but only teach 4 things.
The ‘gelling’ factor ....
Some things sort of formulate for you.
How strong and clear Paul is .... ‘when - then’ is the timing element.
But that’s a contrast - a progression of thought from chapter 4.
The day of the Lord will not overtake you,
.... the day of the Lord .... not ‘when the Lord comes’.
We know what we’re talking about.
There are 2 places where the prophecy and mystery programs intersect with each other. The timing is connected - but WE are NOT connected.
You can have similar events at the intersection but they’re not going to be the same.
The day of the Lord is during tribulation - not at the end,
.... understanding WHEN the day of the Lord is.
Rev 1:10 is the definition of the day of the Lord.
The day of the Lord is not Sunday.
I would make the whole book of Revelation fit into the day of the Lord. The rapture takes place before all that.
They (his 2 different programs theory of Israel’s program and the body of Christ program) share the moment in time, where they intersect momentarily, but we were careful to define what the day of the Lord is .... the 70th week of Daniel.
It’s a slippery slope. When they let go of pre-trib, they slide to the end.
We’re through before that prophetic program begins, that makes us ‘Pre’.
The ‘pre-tribulation rapture’ heresy can surely generate ridicule during the last days .... like, “What’s up? Ha! Ha! You thought you were supposed to be caught up outta here before all this!”
2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Listening to the Cunning Royal Jester over the past few months, could make one think he may be losing his footing .... trying to prevent a slide. On August 22, 2010, talking about getting ‘the time’ (of the catching up) wrong -or right - he threw his arms up in the air and questioned, “So what if I’m wrong?” In the same message, he said of Jesus, “It’s the same Jesus.” For years, he and his jokers have taught that the ‘earthly Jesus’ was ‘another Jesus’. On August 10, 2010, he said, “The earth is in the heavens.” So is he now putting his ‘different destinies’ together in the same place? On September 5, 2010, he referred to Jesus as ‘our King’.
Have you noticed? The Cunning Royal Jester is repositioning several of his long-time teachings. Maybe he’s cushioning for a slide on the slippery slope, or at least, trying not to look so obviously disconnected with what the verses actually say.
