SHEPHERD'S CHAPEL IED - NYOBS 90.02




Shepherd’s Chapel IED
Improvised Explosive Device, No Hell, No Rapture, No Trinity, No Physical Resurrection

First Word

·         The Shepherd's Chapel is a Christian church and broadcast facility based in a tiny remote town of 1,800 in northwest Gravette Arkansas.  The humble beginnings of the chapel headquarters is a former roller rink just a couple of blocks from the town's main street.
·         Most have never heard of Shepherd’s Chapel, but it has been around for at least 30 years and is the largest independent Christian television network IN THE WORLD, broadcasting one-hour televised Bible studies over its satellite network on over 225 television stations plus  24 hours a day on their website and can be found on DirecTV, Dish Network and YouTube.
·         The founder was Arnold Benjamin Murray who was their senior pastor until his death in 2014 upon which his son Dennis Arnold Murray took the helm.  There was also another brother David Vernon Murray who was an associate pastor until his death in 2013.
·         Twice a year He packs out an audience of 4,000 at the Grand Palace country music hall in Branson Missouri, an Ozarks tourist destination known for wholesome family entertainment.
·         What really sets Pastor Murray apart is his claim to be GOD’S EXCLUSIVE MESSENGER. -“I am a servant of the living God that carries THE END TIME MESSAGE, and it’s either time to wake up now, or go down with your boat, friend.” - Being “BORN AGAIN” is to be REINCARNATED from the FIRST earth age and being born of a woman in the SECOND earth age.
·         Murray teaches that there is No Trinity – No Rapture – No physical resurrection – No eternity in hell, just annihilation; Sinners simply cease to exist. – Old Testament Kosher Laws should be kept. - Interracial marriage with mixed-race children are wrong.
·         Murray presents that EATING the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is symbolic of the MATING of the Serpent with Eve which was the actually “Primal Sin” in the Garden of Eden - His theology holds that Eve was impregnated by Satan and gave birth to Satan’s son Cain, who in reality was the first CURSED JEW.   – HOLD THAT THOUGHT -
·         Murray says the descendants of Cain are the “Kenites” and he can identify a “Kenite” by merely being in the same room with one of them. - I must admit that there is a gift of “Discerning of Spirits” given to man by the Holy Spirit.   (1 Corinthians  12:10)
·         Murray says those who DO NOT teach the SERPENT SEED DOCTRINE and who promote the RAPTURE DOCTRINE are false teachers and are “nothing but a bunch of selfrighteous hypocrites blinded by what sounds good to men’s ears.”
·         The Book - Most pastors and teachers DO NOT HOLD to the “SERPENT SEED DOCTRINE”; a two-seed line argument for the literal offspring of the God line and the Satan line from Eve.  
·         I have watched Shepherd’s Chapel for SO many years, loving the formula of reading and explaining the scriptures chapter-by-chapter and verse-by-verse for 30 minutes, then answering questions sent in by viewers for 30 minutes… It was awesome, the questions were just all over the place and added SO much interest. The hour went by so very fast for me.
·         After some time, I started to feel that Pastor Murray would “side step” some of the questions and then it got where I didn’t understand his answers; it was like he started responding in his mind and finished by speaking the rest of the sentence and then say “and so it is”.  – At first I thought he did not read the questions in advance because of ALL the negative questions asked, but now I see it was all orchestrated so as to give him the opportunity to disseminate his HATE views on the “Kenite” Jews; that would be Judah.    
·         I thought it was just me, but as time moved on, some of the fence posts he was planting just didn’t seem to line up with the Book.
·         Murray is an excellent teacher of the Book if you can just FILTER out the “TRUTH” that he has manufactured in his own mind.  If you believe something strongly, then it must be taught in the Book. – Listen, I totally understand that when you spend as much time in the WORD as he does, that things come to you that you believe are from God and we all do it, but  Paul warns us to NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN.
·         Jesus warns us about false teachers in the end times. - We are commanded to defend the faith, but you cannot defend your faith if you don’t know the ERROR in a false teaching.
·         CULT Qualifications; there are five qualifiers with the last two being of most significance.
1)   A religious group that meets regularly; Yes, Shepherd’s Chapel
2)   Has an altar; Yes, Shepherd’s Chapel
3)   Prays to a deity; Yes, Shepherd’s Chapel
4)   Points to a different book other than the Bible; Yes The Companion Bible
5)   Points to a prophet/founder who has “special enlightenment” not found in the Bible. Yes Arnold Murray.

1 Corinthians 4:6 – Do not go beyond what is written in the Book
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying,
DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN.”
Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.
(NIV2011)
Matthew 7:15 – Beware of false teachers disguised as sheep
15 BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.
(NLT)
2 Timothy 4:2 – Be prepared to correct, rebuke teachings
2 Preach the word of God. BE PREPARED,
WHETHER THE TIME IS FAVORABLE OR NOT. PATIENTLY CORRECT, REBUKE, and encourage your people with good teaching.
(NLT)

Christian Identity Movement
·         The Christian Identity Movement regarded Europeans as the "Chosen People" with the Jews being the cursed offspring of CAIN and was promoted as the "Serpent Hybrid" or SERPENT SEED; it was also known as the Two-Seed Line doctrine.
·         White supremacist sects and gangs later adopted many of these teachings. The Christian Identity Movement dictated that all non-whites (people not of wholly European descent) on the planet will either be exterminated or enslaved in order to serve THE WHITE RACE in the new Heavenly Kingdom on Earth under the reign of Jesus Christ. - “Christian Identity Doctrine” states that non-whites can never achieve salvation or paradise, instead it states that only "Adamic" (white people) can achieve salvation and paradise.
·         A Racist is someone who makes a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on Race, Color, Descent, Nationality or Ethnic Origin. - (United Nations Definition)
  • NOTE: If you reject Judah as being “Kenites”, then you are rejecting Jesus the Messiah who is also from the tribe of Judah.  (Revelation 5:5)   – It’s in the Book -

Anglo-Israelism - Replacement Theology
·         Murray within the smoke, teaches ANGLO-ISRAELISM or REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY also referred to as the CHRISTIAN IDENTITY MOVEMENT. These movements have been the foundation for a great deal of RACIAL BIGOTRY.  These doctrines are promoted by many CULTS; teaching that the USA, Canada and Great Britain are the real descendants of ancient Israel and are the actual Ten Lost Tribes of Israel; therefore Anglo-Saxons are NOW God’s “Chosen RACE”, and are the real children of Israel.  - NYOBS 64.18 – RACISM & THE BIBLE
·         White supremacy or white supremacism movements believe that North America was blessed by God and ordained as the superior race in the world with all other racial groups inferior; therefore they should be dominant over them.  White supremacy has its roots in scientific racism, the belief that empirical evidence exists that supports racial inferiority and justifies racial discrimination, and thus they typically oppose JEWS as well as members of other races. - Murray denounces INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES as an unbiblical position. – Murray says he is not a racist and does not oppose the Jew; only the “Kenite” JEWS.
·         This is subtle point and you will completely miss it if we don’t camp out here for a bit.  Murray distinguishes a HUGE difference between the two Kingdoms, Judah and Israel and to support this twist of scripture, more scripture must be tortured till it confesses: the “Serpent Seed Doctrine”; the Kenites”, plus the teaching that two Kenites also survived on the Ark besides Noah’s family of eight.
·         The Southern Kingdom (Judah) are the Kenites” JEWS, a false group of workers of iniquity that descended from Cain that remain TODAY trying to control the world governments.
·         The Northern Kingdom - Murray says the people of the British Isles are linguistically, genetically and racially the descendants of Israel’s Ten Lost Tribes. They were scattered abroad; eventually populated Europe and North America and are God’s chosen people.  
·         A LITTLE BACKGROUND – Israel was split into two nations. -  In the South the nation was called Judah with only Judah and Benjamin remaining; the tribe of Benjamin was eventually absorbed into Judah and now ALL are called “Jews”.  - In the North was 10 tribes that retained the name Israel, but were scattered abroad and were lost. - It’s in the Book -
·         Anglo-Israelism is a concept that Jewish Israel failed to recognize the Messiah Jesus Christ, and after centuries has NOW been replaced by the Christian Church as God’s chosen people.  Israel now has NO role in God’s future work. – This is a FALSE doctrine of The Christian Identity Movement seemingly taught by Murray.
  • The Book teaches that the “NATION” of Israel is not so much about WHERE they are, but WHO they are in Christ. Jesus Christ is the life giving Vine.  God broke off the branches of unbelieving Israel and grafted in the believing Gentiles, THIS PART IS TRUE, BUT if the broken off branches of Israel will believe, God has promised to graft them back in again.
  • LISTEN: The Vine is Jesus Christ; the branches are Jewish Israel - When you as a Gentile are grafted into the vine, you become part of Jewish Israel.  Your roots become Jewish.
  • All Israel is therefore; 1) the natural branches of the vine; the believing Jews – Plus 2) the un-natural wild branches that were grated in; the GentilesPlus 3) the broken off branches that were grafted back into the vine; the returning believing Jews. - SO, when you see ALL ISRAEL spoken of, it includes ALL believers.  We are “All Israel”.
  • If Murray is arrogant toward the Jew, because we have been grafted into the vine, God will judge him.   God will bless those who bless the Jews and curse those that curse them. If it were not for the Jews, we would not have the scriptures, prophets, apostles and our Messiah.  Israel’s blindness to the Messiah will be removed when the fullness of the Gentile has been completed.  This will occur during the tribulation period. – The tribulation period is about the Jews, not so much about the Gentiles; we just happen to be there too.
Romans 11:1 – God did not reject His people
1 I ask then: DID GOD REJECT HIS PEOPLE? BY NO MEANS! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. NIV
Romans 11:25-26 – Israel; a temporary hardening of the heart
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: ISRAEL HAS EXPERIENCED A HARDENING IN PART UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER OF THE GENTILES HAS COME IN.
26 AND SO ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED, as it is written: NIV
Romans 11:5 - There is a remnant of Israel
5 So too, at the present time THERE IS A REMNANT
chosen by grace. NIV
John 15:5 – Israel is the Branches
5 "I AM THE VINE; YOU ARE THE BRANCHES. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. NIV
John 15:1-2 – Jesus is the Vine and cuts off barren branches
1 "I AM THE TRUE VINE, and my Father is the gardener.
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. NIV
Romans 11:17-21 – Gentile Believers are grafted into the vine
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though
A WILD OLIVE SHOOT, HAVE BEEN GRAFTED IN among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
18 do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, "BRANCHES WERE BROKEN OFF
SO THAT I COULD BE GRAFTED IN."
20 Granted. But THEY WERE BROKEN OFF BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. NIV
Romans 11:23-24 – If Israel will believe they will be grafted in
23 And IF THEY DO NOT PERSIST IN UNBELIEF,
THEY WILL BE GRAFTED IN, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! NIV
Genesis 12:3 – God will bless those who bless you
3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." NIV
Revelation 5:5 – Jesus is the Lion of Judah
5 But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, THE LION of the TRIBE OF JUDAH, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. HE IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE SCROLL
(NLT)
Racism – Anti-Semitism
·         In the 40’s I lived in Atlanta in a white neighborhood called Capital View Manor just across from Joy Land, a colored section separated by I-85. – I was small and could bend over and walk through the storm sewers under the I-85 expressway into Joy Land which was a wonderland of backyard vegetable gardens, trees, tire swings, junk, old cars, dogs, goats and ponies. - I guess I knew that I was the only white kid there, but it just didn’t seem to matter to me and it sure didn’t matter to them. -  We just had so much fun; I would take toys to swap and completely lose track of time.
·         My Dad and I were in the Sears & Roebuck automotive department getting tires for our car when I spotted two water fountains; one said WHITE and the other said COLORED.  I went and tried out the colored water fountain, but to my surprise, it looked and tasted the same as the white water.  I told my Dad of my discovery and he said “it’s silly isn’t it”.
·         My Dad had a Paint and Body Shop in a colored section of town and as a kid I worked there.  One day I went to get some lunch at the diner and they refused to serve me.  I told my Dad and he said “sometimes stuff like that just happens” and he took me to the Gas station up the street where we got chips and crackers out of a machine.
·         In the 50’s growing up, I still knew nothing about racism, it would not be until I got to high school when someone called me a “JEW.”  I responded that “I wish I was a Jew, that Jesus was a Jew”.  I THOUGHT EVERYBODY WOULD WANT TO BE A JEW. -  I just didn’t get it.
·         My Grandparents as well as my Mom and Dad were all Sunday school teachers in the Baptist Church, so I was not exposed to profanity, drugs or alcohol, let alone racism.
·         In the 60’s as an adult, I took my family camping at the Stone Mountain campground. -  I had already heard of the fear, hurt and hatred that the KKK was spewing in the name of Christianity. - The KKK held a rally on the mountain that night and burned a cross. – I felt violated; it made me physically sick and I feared for the safety of my small family.
·         Today in 2019, I certainly know that racism exist, but I have NEVER LIVED WITH FEAR, day in and day out, when little by little, one’s soul is killed with Bigotry, the “disease of ignorance”.  – When you judge people, you have no time to love them. - It seems to me that racism has to be learned.  Nobody is born a racist, somebody has to teach them to HATE.

Serpent Seed Doctrine
·          The Book says that God sees from the END back to the BEGINNING; and after going through the Book  a couple of times with Murray, I can now see his END is a hatred for the Jewish people and how the scriptures must be twisted all the way back to the beginning to support his doctrine. – Murray of course says, THIS IS NOT TRUE, he just hates the Kenite” JEWS.
·          I feel a need to address the Serpent Seed Doctrine first as many of Murray’s other teaching hinge on this theory.  In order to make it work, you have to TORTURE a number of other scriptures until they CONFESS this TWISTED CONCEPT.
·         The “Serpent Seed” teaching comes from the early church, where a “Spiritual Group” took the words of Christ quite LITERALLY and broadly as He was speaking to a specific group of Jews and said “You are of your father the Devil”.  - NYOBS 71.02 - SATAN FATHER OF CAIN.
·         The Gospel of Philip from the Nag Hammadi Library is part of the Gnostic Gospels found by accident buried in a cave near Nag Hammadi Egypt in 1945.  This Gnostic teaching pretty much says Satan was the father of Cain. – The Gnostics were thought to have had personal communications with deity; thus they had KNOWLEDGE that others did not possess.
·         So as we begin unpacking this; understand that the Gnostic teaching of the Gospel of Philip has been rejected by most Scholars as NOT being AUTHORED by Phillip; but this writing surely does reveal the thinking of the writers at the time and its Gnostic thinking followers.
Isaiah 46:9-10 – God sees from the End back to the Beginning
9  … I am God, and there is none like me,
10  DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ (ESV)
Gospel of Philip 3.61- Cain was a child of the Serpent
61 If he were not created, but begotten, you would find you would find that his seed was noble.  But now he was created, afterward murder.  And he was begotten in adultery, for
HE WAS THE CHILD OF THE SERPENT.  So he became
a murderer, JUST LIKE HIS FATHER and he killed his brother.
John 8:44 - You are of your father the devil
44 YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, and your will is to do your father’s desires.
HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for
he is a liar and the father of lies. (ESV)

A little background
·         Those who embrace the Christian Identity Movement of gnostic thinking, their BS, their Belief System will see the “Serpent Seed Doctrine” being birthed in Genesis and running throughout the entire Bible; they will symbolize, allegorize or make it into a metaphor. -Murray has tried to prove that Satan has the ability to have sex with women, the next thing to prove is that the FORBIDDEN FRUIT in the Garden of Eden was human sexuality.
·         The Book - The Serpent is named in the Garden of Eden and said to have beguiled Eve; The Hebrew word “nachash” translated “Serpent” or “snake” means “hiss of a snake” or an enchanter, a whisperer of magic spells. – Subtle means he was smooth, cunning and crafty. - Paul warns us that the serpent deceived Eve by his cunningness.
·         Murray says the word beguiled really means; wholly SEDUCED. - Murray  points out that the Book of Proverbs metaphorically compares the word “Eating” as “Sexual Immorality”, and that the Book of Mark contains a story that compares TREES to men walking and the Fig Tree is a symbolic reference to the PEOPLE of Israel. - So you can twist the scriptures enough to confess; that the trees are a metaphor or reference to men in the Garden of Eden and the “eating” from the tree is symbolic of having sexual intercourse; therefore she ate of the fruit of the tree, or she had sex with the Serpent or whatever it was and got pregnant with Cain which produced the Hybrid-Humans known as the soulless Kenites”.
Genesis 3:13 – Eve was beguiled; seduced by the Serpent
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, THE SERPENT BEGUILED ME, and I did eat. (KJV)
Proverbs 30:20 – Woman metaphorically “eats” in adultery
20 This is the way of an adulterous woman: SHE EATS and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wickedness." (NKJV)
2 Corinthians 11:3 - The serpent deceived Eve by his cunning
3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. (ESV)
Mark 8:23-24 – Metaphor – Trees are people
23 And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 and he looked up and said, “I see PEOPLE,
but they look like TREES, walking.” (ESV)
Hosea 9:10 – Metaphor – Fig Tree is Israel
10 Long ago when I came upon ISRAEL, it was like finding grapes out in the desert. When I found your ancestors, it was like finding
A FIG TREE bearing fruit for the first time. But when they arrived at Baal-peor, that pagan shrine, they took to sin like a pig to filth, wallowing in the mud with their newfound friends. (MSG)

Now the Story
·         We begin this story looking through the LENS of the “Serpent Seed”, zooming in on the Trees.
·         Trees in the Book are symbolic of people; the Tree of life could be symbolic of Jesus Christ and the Tree of knowledge of good and evil could be symbolic of Satan.
·         We don’t know how long Adam and Eve lived in the garden before the trickery of Satan began, but we do know that the very day of disobedience they “begin to die” and were cast out of the garden; then one to four days later we hear the phrase that Adam “KNEW” his wife; he had sexual relations with her.  Hold that thought -
·         Twinning - Among DIZYGOTIC TWINS, in rare cases, the eggs are fertilized at different times with two or more acts of sexual intercourse, either within one menstrual cycle (superfecundation) or, even more rarely, later on in the pregnancy (superfetation). This can lead to the possibility of a woman carrying fraternal twins with different fathers (that is, half-siblings). This phenomenon is known as heteropaternal superfecundation. 
·         Dizygotic twins from bi-racial couples can sometimes be mixed twins, which exhibit differing ethnic and racial features. One such pairing was born in Germany in 2008 to a white father from Germany and a black mother from Ghana. - Wikipedia –  
·         Eve gave birth to Cain and then continued in birth of his TWIN brother Abel which she gave thanks believing they were both from the Lord.
·         Murray - Eve had twins that had different fathers. - (This we know is certainly medically possible today.)
·         In the genealogy of Adam given in chapter five we already know that Abel is dead leaving no genealogy to record; but we must also notice that CAIN is totally left out as a son of Adam, as the genealogy begins with the third son SETH.
·         Murray - Cain was not the Son of Adam.
Genesis 2:9 – Two Trees - Life – Knowledge of Good & Evil
9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food.
THE TREE OF LIFE was in the midst of the garden, and
THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. (ESV)
Genesis 3:1-3 – Don’t TOUCH that tree was NOT God’s command
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made.
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said
3YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE that is in the midst of the garden
, NEITHER SHALL YOU TOUCH IT, lest you die.’”
(ESV)
Genesis 3:4-5 – Serpent LIED – You will not surly die
4 But the serpent said to the woman, “YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE.
5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, knowing good and evil.”  (ESV)
Genesis 3:6 – Adam and Eve both had sex with the Serpent
6  So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, SHE TOOK OF ITS FRUIT AND ATE, and she also gave some to her HUSBAND who was with her, AND HE ATE.
(ESV)
Genesis 3:7-13 – They covered their private parts, not mouths
7 THEN THE EYES OF BOTH WERE OPENED, and they knew that they were naked. And they SEWED FIG LEAVES together and made themselves LOINCLOTHS.
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9 But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I WAS NAKED, and I hid myself.”
11 He said, “WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”
13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “
The SERPENT DECEIVED ME, AND I ATE.

Perverted Sex
·         Notice both Adam and Eve ate of the fruit.  IF it is true that eating the fruit was symbolic of having sexual relations, then the Serpent had sex with Eve and then it would follow that the serpent also had sex with Adam because both ate the fruit; this introduces the perverted sex of HOMOSEXUALITY; both ate and both shared in the consequences.
·         Murray’s thinking - Their eyes were now open being armed with the Knowledge of Good and Evil; they sewed fig leaves together. - If their sin was eating the FRUIT from the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, then why did they not seek to hide or cover their MOUTHS, but instead they covered their PRIVATE PARTS.
Genesis 3:6-7- Then the eyes of both were opened
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, SHE TOOK OF ITS FRUIT AND ATE, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, AND HE ATE.
7 Then the eyes of BOTH were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. ESV
Father of Cain
·         Josephus the Jewish historian; a High Priest and a Pharisee was born at the death of Christ and was NOT a Christian, but writes that Cain was begotten by BOTH Adam and Eve with no mention of Satan except to say that Cain was wicked. - NYOBS 22.03 – JOSEPHUS THE JEWISH HISTORIAN
·         The Serpent Seed Doctrine puts forth the THEORY that the original sin was sexual whereas the Book presents a worldview that the original sin was DISOBEDIENCE, not SEXUALITY.
·         Murray says Eve was “beguiled”; the Greek word “exapatao CAN be rendered “wholly deceived” implying that Eve literally had sex with the “serpent being” and became pregnant with Cain who was literally the offspring of Satan. – (This brings back memories of the SICK 1968 horror film entitled “Rosemary’s Baby”; the offspring of Satan.)
·         The Book - “Beguiled” is never connected with SEX in any other passage where this same word is used.
2 Corinthians 11:3 – Eve was wholly deceived; had sex
3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent BEGUILED (wholly deceived) Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
(KJV)
Genesis 3:15 – Enmity between Kenites and the Elect
15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed
(the fake Kenites) and her Seed (the real Jews) He shall bruise your head (the fake Kenites) And you shall bruise His heel." (NKJV)
***Josephus Antiquities 1:21:1.53-54 – Cain was wicked
52 ADAM AND EVE HAD TWO SONS; the elder of them was named CAIN; which name, when it is interpreted signifies a possession.  The Younger ABEL, which signifies sorrow. They had also daughters.
53 Now, the two brethren were pleased with different courses of life, for ABEL, the younger, was a lover of righteousness and believing that God was present at all his actions, he excelled in virtue; and his employment was that of a shepherd.  
But CAIN was not only VERY WICKED in other respects, but was
wholly intent upon GETTING; and he first contrived to plough the ground.  He slew his brother on the occasion following;

The Encounter - Bestiality
·         Eve encountered something that could walk upright and talk, The Book calls it a serpent, but today we might call it a “Shape Shifter”, something that can transform itself into a different shape. – The Book says Satan can do that and so can his servants.
·         Murray contends that eating of the tree symbolizes Eve’s sexual intercourse with the serpent. - After the encounter, the serpent was cursed so that he could no longer stand upright or walk.  - People refer to someone that is crafty, sinister, sneaky and nefarious as A SNAKE although they are actually a person; they are actually being identified by their characteristics.  - When Eve encountered the serpent standing there, she saw that he was “a delight to the eyes”; a good looking dude so she ventured close, not afraid to talk with him. 
·         The Book - There is zero evidence of Adam and Eve having sex IN the Garden of Eden. -  When it came to sexuality this was a time of childlike innocence. - Adam and Eve were both necked and that fact had not even crossed their minds.     
·         The Book teaches that everything reproduces after its kind, so even though we see it spoken of a flying fish or a flying squirrel, they did not mate with a bird and they don’t actually fly. – It is true a female horse and a male donkey have a similar DNA and can mate and produce a mule, but pregnancy of the mule is rare. – THINGS REPRODUCE AFTER THEIR OWN KIND. – NYOBS 08.18 - SEX, ADULTERY AND FORNICATION
·         So with that said a reptile or serpent cannot mate with a human and produce an offspring, so how could the serpent in the story of Adam and Eve have ever mated with Eve and produced the child Cain? – It is impossible - Satan cannot create; only manipulate and counterfeit.
·         The Book points out it is a sin to have sex with an animal; the act is called Bestiality, it does not produce a hybrid of something, it produces nothing and is simply just what it is; PERVERTED SEX. – NYOBS 71.15 – BESTIALITY - ZOOSEXUAL
·         In Islam it is permitted to have sex with an animal to prevent the sin of having sex with a woman that is not your wife, however, God says a person who is involved in Bestiality should be KILLED.  It’s in the Book -  
·         The Book - Since Eve was in the Garden and not Murray, it would be safe to take her confession about Cain as being valid. - The Book says Adam made love to Eve and she became pregnant and gave birth to CAIN and SHE said WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD I have brought forth a man”.  – It’s in the Book –
2 Corinthians 11:14 – Satan can transform himself
14 And no wonder! For SATAN HIMSELF
TRANSFORMS HIMSELF INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.
15 It is not surprising, then, if HIS SERVANTS ALSO MASQUERADE AS SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. (NIV2011)
Genesis 3:14 – Serpent can no longer walk; must slither
14 The LORD God said to THE SERPENT, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; ON YOUR BELLY YOU SHALL GO, and DUST you shall eat all the days of your life. (ESV)
Genesis 1:25 - Things reproduce after their kind
25 And God made the beasts of the earth AFTER THEIR KIND, and the cattle AFTER THEIR KIND, and everything that creepeth upon the ground AFTER ITS KIND: and God saw that it was good. (ASV)
Leviticus 18:23 – Don’t have sex with animals
23 DO NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH AN ANIMAL and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is A PERVERSION. NIV
Leviticus 20:15-16 – KILL the person who has sex with an animal
15 If a man has SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH AN ANIMAL, he must be PUT TO DEATH, and you must kill the animal.
16 If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They MUST BE PUT TO DEATH; their blood will be on their own heads. NIV
Genesis 4:1-2 – Outside of the Garden, Adam knew his wife
1
ADAM KNEW EVE HIS WIFE, and SHE CONCEIVED and bore CAIN, saying, “I HAVE GOTTEN A MAN WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD.”
2 And AGAIN, she bore his brother ABEL. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. (ESV)

The Curse Murray’s view
·         Point of view; looking at THE CURSE through the LENS of the “Serpent Seed Doctrine”.
·         The SERPENT is cursed to no longer be able to stand erect or walk, but to slither on the ground and eat the very dust that man was made of.
·         The WOMAN is cursed in childbearing to bring forth children in pain and have a burning desire to rule over her husband. – Her mouth was not cursed with pain for eating the fruit, but her childbearing was cursed with pain, directly linking her to sexual intercourse and pregnancy; proving EATING the forbidden fruit represented having SEX. 
·         The MAN is cursed with weeds growing in the ground which he must toil in pain to survive.
·         The BOYS are cursed that there will be hatred between Cain’s offspring’s; the EVIL Kenites and Seth’s offspring’s the GOOD Jews. – So now you can easily see why Cain hated Abel; they were from TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT FATHERS.  - Revelation says I know your tribulation and your poverty and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and ARE NOT, but are of the synagogue of Satan.  (“the Kenites”)
·         The FUTURE CHILDREN are cursed as an angel of the Lord was placed in LOVE at the entrance of the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword to prevent them from entering in and eating from the Tree of Life which would cause them to remain in a fallen condition FOREVER.  NYOBS 09.34 – GARDEN OF EDEN -- NYOBS 80.08 – EVE TEMPTED HUMBLED REDEEMED
·         The Book - SYMBOLICALLY the Flaming sword represents Light as the sword is the Word of God and represents THE WAY” back to Him. – The Tree of Life is now in heaven. -
Genesis 3:14 - The Serpent cursed no longer stand upright walk
14 The LORD God said to the serpent,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE THIS, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; ON YOUR BELLY
you shall go, and DUST you shall eat all the days of your life.
Genesis 3:15 – Boys cursed Hatred between the Kenites & Jews
15 I WILL PUT ENMITY between you and the woman, and between YOUR OFFSPRING
(the Kenites) and HER OFFSPRING (the Jews); he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
Genesis 3:16 - Woman cursed to bring forth children in pain
16 To the woman he said, “I will surely MULTIPLY YOUR PAIN IN CHILDBEARING; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”
Genesis 3:17-19 - Ground cursed that the man must work to eat
17 And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ CURSED IS THE GROUND because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 THORNS and THISTLES it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the SWEAT of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” (ESV)
Genesis 3:24 Angel with flaming sword guarded the tree of life
24 He DROVE OUT THE MAN, and at the east of
the GARDEN OF EDEN he placed the CHERUBIM
and a FLAMING SWORD that turned every way to guard the way to THE TREE OF LIFE. (ESV)
Adam’s First Three Boys
·         There are three sons of Adam that are tracked in the Book; Abel, Cain and Seth.   
·         There is no linage of Abel because he was murdered by his brother Cain. 
·         Something bad happened to Cain’s linage as it just disappears after the seventh generation, 120 years before the flood; yet Seth’s linage continues on to the tenth generation.
·         The flood took place in the tenth generation wiping out any possibilities of Cain’s descendants continuing. – Only Eight people survived the flood; Noah, his wife, his three sons and their three distant cousin wives. - Noah was in the line of descendants of Seth.
·         It would be Seth’s descendants that proved to be those who remained faithful to God while Cain’s did not.  It is through the Godly lineage of Seth that the Messiah Jesus Christ would come.
·         Adam and Eve had additional children; that is where Cain and Seth both got their wives. – NYOBS 37.02 - INCEST
·         Murray contends that Noah took TWO OF EVERY LIVING FLESH on the Ark and that would include two of the ALL of the other nations; specifically two of Satan’s seed, the Kenites plus all the races, Black, White and Asian.
  • The Book - It is believed that Noah’s THREE sons had taken wives from other nations before the flood allowing all the races to continue through them.  NYOBS 17.10 – NOAH’S ARK
  1. Shem is the progenitor of the “Semitic” peoples of the East. (White)
  2. Ham’s descendants became the Egyptians, Canaanites and Africans. (Black)
  3. Japheth’s descendants are the inhabitants of Asia Minor and the sea people. (Yellow)
Murray - Genesis 6:19 – Two of every living flesh – Two of EVERY Nations
19 And OF EVERY LIVING THING OF ALL FLESH, you shall bring TWO OF EVERY SORT into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
(ESV)
The Book - Genesis 7:7 – Only Noah the family of eight survived
7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. (ESV)
Gen 9:18-19 – Noah’s sons - Shem, Ham and Japheth
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
19 These were the three sons of Noah, and FROM THEM CAME THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SCATTERED OVER THE EARTH.   
NIV

The Kenites
·         The Kenite Doctrine is a version of the "SERPENT SEED DOCTRINE" that identifies a specific "Kenite" lineage of people that descended from Cain. - Murray identifies them as a minority that exist within the tribe of Judah. - (anti-Semitism) - Wikipedia
·         The Archontites had maintained that Cain had a demon for his father, and that the JEWS proceeded from the race of Cain. 
·         Nazi Theology pretty much states that the Serpent; Satan had sex with Eve and she gave birth to Cain and his descendants survived the great flood; they are the BLACKS and the JEWS; the children of Satan who have a tainted, corrupted DNA Serpent Seed and need to be cleansed from the earth. - This was the dark motivation for the Holocaust and the WHITE SUPREMACY movement.   
·         The Kenites were an ethnic group along with NINE other groups that occupied the pre-Israelite land of Canaan and COULD be the offspring’s of Cain; the KenitesSons of Cain”. Murray uses them to represent children of the Wicked One; the tares sown by Satan as noted in the parable of the TARES and WHEAT. – (Genesis 15:20)
·         The Book says that only eight people survived the flood, therefore there were no Kenites after the flood nor NOW. – So when you hear teachers such as Murray referring to someone as being a “Kenite” because they disagree with their BS, Belief System, they are also saying they don’t believe in the world wide flood of Noah which would have killed all the Kenites”.  - NYOBS 22.30 - GIANTS
·         Just to mess with your mind, there is no mention of Cain’s death in the Book, so could it be that the first murderer will return as the Antichrist; the last murderer? – Reincarnation? -  
1 John 3:11-12 - Cain belonged to the evil one; Satan
11 … We should love one another. - We must not be like
12
CAIN, WHO BELONGED TO THE EVIL ONE and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because
Cain had been doing what was evil, and
his brother had been doing what was righteous. (NLT)

The Parable of the Tares
·         Murray connects THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD AND BAD SEED with God’s curse of the serpent in the garden although there is nothing in the text connecting these two passages.
·         The Parable of the Tares as viewed from the “Serpent Seed” point of View.
·         Definition: “Sperma” in the Greek means “Seed”; the sowing of seed by the farmer; a remnant remaining for another planting; a man’s seed or emission of semen; a descendent.
·         The Man; the Sower, the servant farmer is symbolic of Jesus Christ.
·         The field is symbolic of the world
·         The Seed is symbolic of the children of God, THE JEWS from the line of Seth.
·         The Enemy is a Foe - an Adversary – identified as SATAN, not a snake or a serpent.
·         The Reapers are God’s angels.
·         The Harvest is at the end of the age; the judgment.
·         The Tares are symbolic of THE KENITES who claim to be Jews, but are children of Satan.
·         NOTE; It is imperative that we read the Bible for ourselves. – We are commanded to prove scripture with scripture, in context with the point of view of the intended audience.   
·         The Story – Jesus as the servant farmer had just gone into the field and sowed the seed that brings forth the godly line of Seth, the Jews. - Satan sneaks in while the servants are SLEEPING and sows the seeds that will bring forth the evil line of Cain; the Kenites.
·         The good Jews and the evil Kenites are both growing up together and at some point they both HAVE FRUIT and the difference begins to be noticed by the workers. – They wonder how can this be, they saw the good seed being planted themselves, but were unaware of what Satan had done while they slept.
·         Jesus tells them plainly that SATAN has done this nefarious thing. – The workers want to go in and tear out the weeds right away, but Jesus compassionately says NO, that they might accidently pull up a believer that is new in the faith who might be caught up in the Word of Faith teachings which make them look like a Kenite.  He said leave them growing awhile longer so that their fruit may have time to fully develop. - (This is you and me)
·         Let them grow together till the Judgment then we will first gather the FAKE Kenites and bind them in bundles TO BE BURNED, then later gather the REAL Jews into my barn.
·         The Warning – To those who have ears; they better hear.
Matthew 13:24 – Jesus Christ sowed good seed of the JEWS
24 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed
GOOD SEED (the real Jews) in his field,
Matthew 13:25 – Satan sowed the wicked seeds of the KENITES
25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy
(Satan the Devil) came and sowed weeds (fake Kenites) among the wheat (real Jews) and went away.
Matthew 13:26-27 - The JEWS and KENITES grew up together
26 So when the plants came up
(the real Jews) and bore grain,
then the weeds (the fake Kenites) appeared also.
27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed
(the real Jews) in your field? How then does it have weeds (the fake Kenites)?’
Matthew 13:28 – Satan has done this thing
28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’
(Satan the Devil) So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’
Matthew 13:29 – Don’t gather unknowingly might get young JEW
29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds (the fake Kenites) you root up the wheat (the real Jews) along with them.
Matthew 13:30 – Let the grow together until the harvest
30  Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds
(the fake Kenites) first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat (the real Jews) into my barn.’” (ESV)
Matthew 13:37-38 – The Story explained by Jesus
37 He answered, The one who sows the good seed
(the real Jews) is the Son of Man.
38 The field is the world, and the good seed
(the real Jews) is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds (the fake Kenites) are the sons of the evil one, (Satan the Devil) (ESV)
Matthew 13:39-43 - Enemy in the garden is identified as Satan
39 and the enemy who sowed them is THE DEVIL. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
40 Just as the weeds
(the fake Kenites) are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers,
42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. HE WHO HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR. (ESV)
Revelation 12:17 – SEED that is left over – A remnant
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed
(the real Jews) which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (KJV) 1 John 3:9 – The Good Seed will remain in God
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
(the real Jews) remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Kenites - Seed of the Serpent
·         Murray contends that the tares in the parable of the “Wheat and Tares” as described in Matthew 13 are the Kenites”, Cain’s actual decedents. - Murray contends that the inhabitants of Israel TODAY are biological descendants of Cain that descended from Satan and are at work today preparing for Satan’s rule.
·         The Book - The Parable is not referring to literal PHYSICAL descendants of Satan, but is a reference to SPIRITUAL descendants. This “Seed of the Serpent” is only a figurative offspring, not Cain and his literal offspring. – Saying it another way; people regardless of their race who do not believe and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, but instead choose to follow their own sinful tendencies are the “Children of Satan”.
·         Murray contends that Jesus denounces JEWS as being Kenites”.
·         The Book - Jesus in the Book of John was denouncing a small group of Jews for their unbelief, metaphorically speaking that ANYONE who refuses to believe in Him, is a child of the devil. – He is not referring to Kenites”, He is specifically saying that those in THIS group are a child of the devil because of what they believed, not for who they were and besides that, He already knew that their intentions were to KILL Him.
Matthew 13:24-41 – Weeds are the Kenites; wheat the Elect
24 Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed
(the real Jews) in his field.
25 But that night as the workers slept, his enemy
(Satan the Devil) came and planted weeds (the fake Kenites) among the wheat (the real Jews) then slipped away.  
26 When the crop began to grow and produce grain
(the real Jews) the weeds (the fake Kenites) also grew.
27 The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed
(the real Jews) is full of weeds (the fake Kenites)? Where did they come from?’
28 An enemy
(Satan the Devil) has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds (the fake Kenites)?’ they asked.
29 No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat
(the real Jews) if you do.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds
(the fake Kenites)  tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat (the real Jews) n the barn.’”
40 Just as the weeds
(the fake Kenites) are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(NLT)
John 8:44 - The Devil is the father of Unbelief and Lies
44 For YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, and you love to do the evil things he does.  He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because
THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
(NLT)
Matthew 16:23 – Jesus rebukes Peters unbelief
23 Jesus turned to PETER and said,
GET AWAY FROM ME, SATAN! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.” (NLT)
Ephesians 2:1-3 – Devil is at work in unredeemed hearts
1 ONCE YOU WERE DEAD because of your disobedience and your many sins.
2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying THE DEVIL—the commander of the powers in the unseen world.
He is the spirit at work in the hearts
of those who refuse to obey God.
3 All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. (NLT)
Ephesians 2:11 – What’s in your hearts make you a JEW
11 Don’t forget that YOU GENTILES USED TO BE OUTSIDERS. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts. (NLT)
1 John 3:9-59 – What’s in your heart makes child of SATAN
9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.
10 So now we can tell who are CHILDREN OF GOD and who are CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.
40 Instead,
YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL ME because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing. For
44 YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
58 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!”
59 At that point
THEY PICKED UP STONES TO THROW AT HIM. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple. (NLT)
Kenite Jews
·         Statement: Satan is the father of anyone who sins, therefore Satan is the Father of all of UNREDEEMED mankind and therefore man must be BORN AGAIN to become a child of God.
·         Murray – In the Book of John, Jesus is addressing Cain as the murderer; his descendants are the “Kenites” offspring’s; a hybrid of the Jews of today including those adopted and married into Jewish families. He says; “These were the Jews who killed Christ”.
·         Murray - "Now, who stands in Jerusalem today?... the sons of Cain … those who will not accept Jesus Christ… the Kenites”; that founded a new nation starting in 1948." – (ISRAEL) (NOTE: You can view Shepherd’s Chapel’s newsletters on line as well as read his Belief System in the commentaries found in the Shepherd’s Chapel “Companion Bible”.)   
·         The Book Murray’s Belief System promotes the RACIST idea that JEWS are of the seed of Satan therefore White Anglo-Saxons are the chosen race that is the true spiritual Israel.
·         In the Book of Genesis, Jesus is literally addressing Satan; the Devil (not Cain) as the murderer who caused death to come upon the human race when he instigated Adam and Eve to sin: however Murray is correct, Cain did kill his brother Abel, therefore he ALSO is a murderer from the beginning.
·         The Serpents Seed is not literally Cain and his offspring’s, but those that follow their own sinful tendencies and do not accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah; figurative they are the offspring’s or children of Satan regardless of what race they belong to.  
Genesis 2:17 – Satan instigated the death of Adam and Eve
17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, YOU ARE SURE TO DIE.” (NLT)
Genesis 3:14 – It was Satan that murdered Adam and Eve
14 Then the LORD God said to the serpent,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE THIS, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live. (NLT)
Matthew 13:36-43 – Bad seed are those who belong to Satan
36 Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.”
37 Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.
38 The field is the world, and
THE GOOD SEED REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM.
THE WEEDS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO BELONG TO THE EVIL ONE.
39 The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
40 Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
(NLT)
Romans 6:12-14 – You were dead and now you live
12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.
13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for
YOU WERE DEAD, but NOW YOU HAVE NEW LIFE. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. (NLT)
Kenites on the Ark
·         If what Murray asserts is true, that Satan did father Cain and his offspring’s were the evil Kenites; then they ALL died in the flood of Noah. – To fix this Murray must tortured the scriptures again to confess that the flood was NOT worldwide.
·         Murray claims the flood of Noah was only a local community flood which did not affect the land of Nod nor the Kenites. -  Note: IF the flood of Noah was just local, just around Israel, then how did, my little town of Irmo, South Carolina that is around the world, 360 feet above sea level and 160 miles from the coast have sea shells and what is known as the “Sandhills” that run up to the Blue Ridge and Piedmont mountains? – Just saying -
·         To keep his ANTI-SEMITISM going, he now has to twist the scriptures to say there were two of every flesh that entered Noah’s ark besides the eight of NOAH’S family; this would include two of every nation, plus two Kenites. – (Murray says Kenites are not actually a race, but a hybrid of people.)
·         The Book affirms that ONLY Noah, his wife and their three sons and their three wives survived the flood for a total of eight humans that replenished the earth.  God promises Noah that never again would He kill ALL of the living creatures; never again to destroy the earth with a flood.  – But at the “End of Time” it will be purged of ALL Sin & Evil with FIRE.
Murray - Genesis 6:19 – Two of every living flesh INCLUDING OTHER NATIONS
19 And of EVERY LIVING THING OF ALL FLESH, TWO OF EVERY SORT shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
(KJV)
The Book - Genesis 6:18 – Eight on the ark, Noah, wife, 3 sons and 3 wives
18  But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. (KJV)
2 Peter 2:5- Only Eight people spared in the flood of Noah
5 And God did NOT spare the ancient world
EXCEPT FOR NOAH AND THE SEVEN OTHERS IN HIS FAMILY.
Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood. (NLT)
Genesis 9:11 – Noah’s flood killed ALL living creatures
11 Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you.
NEVER AGAIN WILL FLOODWATERS KILL ALL LIVING CREATURES; never again will a flood destroy the earth.”
(NLT)
Genesis 9:18-19 – All the nations came from Noah’s three sons
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with their father were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham is the father of Canaan.)
19 FROM THESE THREE SONS OF NOAH
CAME ALL THE PEOPLE WHO NOW POPULATE THE EARTH.
(NLT)
Isaiah 66:16 – The world will be purified with FIRE
16 The LORD will punish the world by FIRE and by his sword.
HE WILL JUDGE THE EARTH, and many will be killed by him.
(NLT)
Pre-existence – Murray Reincarnation
·         Pre-existence – We existed in heaven with God our Father before we became human.  There was never a time when man did not exist and there will never be a time when we will cease to exist. -  Each person was self-existent and coequal with God.
·         Murray teaches the LDS Mormon doctrine that men preexisted in time based on His interpretation of the Book where God is speaking to His “Spirit Children” and said,” Let US make MAN in our own image”.  - He teaches that everyone pre-existed in spirit-bodies in heaven as Sons of God” before they existed in the First Earth Age as some sort of a hybrid angel-human being.  
·         It was necessary that at our birth, our knowledge of “pre-existence” be removed. This is called the veil of memories. - The fall of mankind was a blessing in the progression of humanity to the level of Godhood.
·         At some point during the First Earth Age there was a rebellion or war where 1/3 of the EVIL Sons of God rebelled, but were defeated by the remaining 2/3rds faithful GOOD Sons of God. - The First Earth Age became so polluted that God destroyed all of it and after millions of years created a Second Earth Age to start His creations all over again. – The Second Earth Age was for fixing whatever went wrong in the First Earth Age.  It was SECOND CHANCE SALVATION; A DO OVER.
·         God called together his Heavenly Council of Sons of God and pronounced judgement on ALL of them, both good and bad and sent the lot of them through a redemption process of being REINCARNATED in the Second Earth Age.  There they were then BORN AGAIN by being placed into human flesh bodies, born of a woman.  Their memories of the First Earth Age Rebellion would be veiled and not remembered.
·         THE ELECT were the GOOD Sons of God who sided with God and fought for Him in the War and therefore were PREDESTINED to be saved. - These Elect would know in their spirit that their job in the Second Earth Age was to try to get the Rebellious BAD Sons of God to repent and come back to God.
·         FREE WILL was a CURSE that was placed on those that had rebelled in the First Earth Age, they had to find God on their own if they had the desire.
·         But then SATAN UPS HIS GAME and enters into the Second Earth Age too and has SEX with Eve who produces Hybrid Satanic children through Cain, known as the “Kenites”.
·         According to Murray, every person’s spirit existed in heaven with God before they were born on earth. - THE ELECT seem to be the Anglo Americans of today and those that were cursed with Free Will seem to be the Kenite JEWS of Today.
·         The Book says man did not pre-exist with God; man was made on the earth, then the spirit of man was formed within him and then he became a living person.  This happened on earth not in heaven. – It was here that God gave man his spirit and at death it will return to Him.
·         The Son of God, Jesus Christ always existed with God the Father in heaven and is the only man that pre-existed with God.  - No one has ever gone to heaven and returned, except Jesus Christ - Our natural body comes first, then the spirit comes later, then it is appointed unto man to die ONCE and then comes the judgment.  - It’s in the Book -
John 1:1 – Jesus existed in the beginning with God
1 IN THE BEGINNING THE WORD ALREADY EXISTED. The Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.
(NLT)
John 17:5 – Jesus was with God before the world began
5 Now, Father, bring me into
THE GLORY WE SHARED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN. (NLT)
John 3:13 – Only Jesus has gone from heaven and returned
13 NO ONE HAS EVER GONE TO HEAVEN AND RETURNED.
BUT THE SON OF MAN has come down from heaven.

John 8:23-24 – We are from below, Jesus is from above
23 Jesus continued,
YOU ARE FROM BELOW; I AM FROM ABOVE. You belong to this world; I do not.
24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”
(NLT)
1 Corinthians 15:45-48 – Our body made first then the spirit
45 The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit.
46 WHAT COMES FIRST IS THE NATURAL BODY,
THEN THE SPIRITUAL BODY COMES LATER.
47 Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven.
48 Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. (NLT)
Genesis 1:26 – God said to His Children make man in our image
26 Then God said, "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, according to OUR LIKENESS; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
(NKJV)
Zechariah 12:1 – Man was created on Earth
1 The oracle of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and
FOUNDED THE EARTH and

Genesis 2:7 – Man was created on Earth became living person
7 Then the LORD
GOD FORMED THE MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND. HE BREATHED THE BREATH OF LIFE INTO THE MAN’S NOSTRILS, AND THE MAN BECAME A LIVING PERSON.
(NLT)  
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 – At death our spirit will return to God
6 Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young,

7 For then THE DUST WILL RETURN TO THE EARTH, AND THE SPIRIT WILL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT.

No Trinity - Modalism
·         Modalism is the doctrine that the person of the Trinity represent only three modes or aspects of the divine revelation, NOT distinct and coexisting persons in the divine nature. Jesus is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (One Person in three different ROLES, or MODES)
·         Murray denies the Trinity; the three persons of God head, interpreting the Book to mean that they are merely three offices.   He teaches that the “Father,” “Son,” and “Spirit” are different titles that God uses for different jobs at different times.
·         The Book - At Jesus’ baptism, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit WERE ALL PRESENT at the SAME time and WERE INTERACTING with each other.
·         The Trinity is a major doctrine of Christianity.  Most CULTS deviate from this doctrine, as does Murray; modalism denies the Trinity and is a heretical doctrine.
Matthew 3:16-17 – Father, Son, Spirit; ALL PRESENT at once
16 After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw THE SPIRIT of God descending like a dove and settling on him.
17 And a VOICE FROM HEAVEN said, “This is my
 DEARLY LOVED SON, who brings me great joy.”
(NLT)
Matthew 28:19 - The Great Commission Father Son Holy Spirit
19 Therefore, go and MAKE DISCIPLES of all the nations, BAPTIZING THEM in the name of the
FATHER and the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT. (NLT)

No Hell Murray Annihilation
·         Murray teaches that Hell does not exist now and has never existed and that “to roast one of his own children day and night would be something only Satan would conceive of.” - Unbelievers will not be tormented eternally in hell and according to Ezekiel they will just completely disappear and cease to exist. – There are no tears in heaven and The SMOKE of eternal “Torment” rising up to them certainly would not be heaven.
·         The Book says that the righteous will have never ending life, and the unrighteous will have never ending conscious punishment.  Ezekiel’s prophecy is SPECIFICALLY about Satan, not man, and is saying metaphorically that SATAN’S sins will consume HIM, making HIS existence, plans, conniving and HIS efforts, to amount to nothing, like smoke from ashes.
Murray - Ezekiel 28:18 – Satan and followers reduced to ASHES
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and
IT CONSUMED YOU, and I REDUCED YOU TO ASHES on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.
(NIV2011)
The Book - Matthew 25:41 – The Evil go into ETERNAL FIRE
41 Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the ETERNAL FIRE prepared for the devil and his demons.
(NLT)
Matthew 25:46 – The Evil go into ETERNAL PUNISHMENT
46 And they will go away into ETERNAL PUNISHMENT, but the
righteous will go into ETERNAL LIFE.”
(NLT)
Revelation 14:9-11 – Conscious Punishment for Eternity
9 Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or
10 on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been
poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BURNING SULFUR
in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.
11 The SMOKE of their torment will rise FOREVER AND EVER, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.” (NLT)
No Rapture
·         I’m going to camp out here for a little while and like a cow, CHEW THE CUD.  The word rapture IS NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE, but neither is the word TRINITY, but we can surmised it from comparing scripture with scripture and we named what we found the “TRINITY”.
  • NOTE: The Israelites saw something coming down out of heaven and didn’t know what it was and wanted to NAME it something, so they named it “MANNA” which means “What Is It”.
  • Webster says “rapture” is: A state or experience of being CARRIED AWAY by overwhelming emotion.
·         Wikipedia: Latinrapio”, meaning CAUGHT UP or TAKEN AWAY Greek, rapiemur” also meaning CAUGHT UP or TAKEN AWAY.  In fact the notion actually means to be forcefully, quickly or suddenly taken away as in the blinking of the eye.   
  • There are references to a “SNATCHING AWAY” in scripture and there was a desire to NAME this process something and because of the words “rapio” and “rapiemur” the English word “rapture” was selected.
·         Rapture Origin – In the mid 1800’s Minister Edward Irving of a church in Scotland had a young girl named Margaret MacDonald, who fell into a trance and had several hours of visions and prophecy. – She revealed that Christ would return in two phases; one visibly only to the righteous and a second time to execute wrath on the unrighteous. – John Darby of the Plymouth Brethren traveled to Scotland and developed the doctrine of the Rapture.
·         Before 1830, no one had ever heard of a “Secret Rapture” or the “Fly Away Doctrine”. -  No Church had taught it in their creed, catechism or statement of Faith, not until John Nelson Darby preached about it in 1830. -  So at this writing the Rapture Doctrine is NOT predated by 2,000 years, but is of recent origin; only 189 years old.
·         The phrase “Caught Up is in the Bible, but the word RAPTURE is not found anywhere in Scripture. There are three views on when it will occur in regard to the great tribulations; Pre, Mid and Post Tribulation as well as No Rapture. - NYOBS 45.02 -THE RETURN; PRE, MID, POST
·         Those that oppose the concept of the Rapture, call it the “Escape Doctrine” or “Escapism”; the belief that there is a Great Escape from the Tribulations – The opponents point to the writings of the Prophet Ezekiel, Chapter 13 as their main source of opposition.
·         Murray says; "Most go along with this CULT that teaches the rapture, that didn't start till 1830, but it's growing into the largest cult in the world". - Those who believe in the “FLY AWAY DOCTRINE” are cultic, and God's seal is NOT upon them. - In the end times they will be deceived by Satan.  (In some places I have paraphrased Murray’s comments as best as I can remember.)
·         Murray says God tells Ezekiel to prophecy that there are some people who are coming up with prophesies from out of their own hearts, they are foolish and are following their own spirit.  Their vision is a vain lying spirit and God has NOT spoken.  God is against those who would hunt the souls of ignorant people and teach them the Fly Away Doctrine just to get them TO JOIN AND GROW THEIR CHURCH. -  (Example; John Nelson Darby.) NYOBS 01.23 – RAPTURE  
·         When the Anti-Christ stands in the Holy of Holies, the Rapture Ready” Christians will be deceived and will think it is Christ coming to take them away and will follow him and forfeit their own salvation.  According to Murray, anyone who believes the Rapture Theory or the Fly Away Doctrine is EFFECTIVELY DENIED SALVATION.  NYOBS 01.23 - RAPTURE- IS THE WORD IN THE BIBLE
  • The Book - I might say the same thing about Shepard’s Chapel using “The Fly Away” doctrine to knit unsuspecting people to his own organization. – (Just my opinion)Murray’s contention is that Rapture Ready Believers will be deceived at the appearance of the Anti-Christ and FOLLOW HIM. - Murray’s perception is that the Rapture is something WE will do, but the Rapture is something that GOD will do; the Believer is just SNATCHED AWAY; we don’t have anything to do with the rapture except to be ready.
  • NOW THE REAL BACKGROUND:  In the 5th Century before Christ, the women of Israel were involved in FALSE RELIGIONS & LYING to the people by telling them that there would be PEACE; that JUDGEMENT would NOT come from God. - They were making money by SELLING AMULETS to keep a person from GETTING SICK or to PROTECT THEM FROM GETTING HARMED. - It was on these enterprising, conniving, evil women that God told Ezekiel to pronounce HIS judgment.
·         God was against their magic bands; their good luck charms. - Their false religion and lies had ENSNARED His people LIKE CAGED BIRDS and HE would set them free and let THEM FLY AWAY. – Read the ENTIRE chapter for yourself. – It’s in the Book -
·         There is great debate on when the rapture will occur, but based on passages in the Book that Murray has ignored, there WILL be a rapture or "catching away" of the saints to meet the Lord in the air. – (I praise God for the KJV Bible, but the New Living Translation is so clearly understood without Murray’s explanation and it has not been tampered with by the “Kenites” as Murray would contend.)
·         I must admit that I have watched his program for many years and believe Pastor Murray is a very intelligent man, BUT he has some very strange theories; such as Satan having sex with Eve which produced the child Cain, who became the father of the “Kenites”.  Murray claims these Kenites still exist today and control the world government within their hidden dynasties. – You can read all about these Gnostic Kenites in the Apocrypha, The Gospel of Judas, but it is not found in THE BOOK.
·         NOTE: Murray effectively denies the salvation of anyone who believes in the Rapture or “The Fly Away Doctrine” - Belief in the Rapture is a non-essential point of “the end times” as DOES NOT affect our salvation in any way… The Rapture is something God does to us, not something we do. - We should pray for the rapture, but live our life as if THERE IS NOT ONE.

OT Raptures
  • Interestingly, there were some raptures in the Old Testament too.  Enoch zapped into another dimension as well as Elijah, and later in the NT Paul’s spirit was “Caught Up” there also.  NYOBS 60.02 - ET’s UFO’s & PORTALS
  • Note: Twice Paul says “Caught Up” in the scripture, so this seems to be an important point.

5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because
GOD HAD TAKEN HIM AWAY.

Escapism – The Great Escape
·         Murray – The Rapture is Sometimes referred to as the DOCTRINE OF ESCAPISM; a false teaching that Believers will escape the end time judgment that is coming on the earth.
·         The Book - Is the Doctrine of ESCAPISM found in the Bible? – I hope to smile it is…. The Believer will escape the Tribulations. – It’s an Old Testament concept as well as New Testament concept.
·         God knows how to rescue the Believer and will not allow The Tribulations to come until He has given us a way out - He tells the Believer to pray for strength to go through what is to come, that He has provided a WAY OF ESCAPE.
·         The Book says God WILL DO NOTHING till His family has escaped. - He provided a way for Noah and his family as well as Lot and his family.

Translation
  • When someone speaks to you in a different language, it needs to be translated into your language in order for you to understand it. 
  • When Jesus came to earth, His spiritual attributes were translated into physical attributes, which is what we see in Him as a physical mortal man. 
  • Man was made with physical attributes like God’s Son Jesus and at the rapture when we are TRANSLATED with spiritual attributes WE WILL BE LIKE HIM and we shall see him as He is.
John 14:2-3 – He will come again – It’s a promise
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: (ROOMS) if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, and RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; that where I am, there ye may be also KJV

Good Kenites
·         Ham’s son was named Canaan and the people were called Canaanites.  - This is different from a Caininite which is an alternate transliteration of the name Kenites. -  Kenites were the offspring of Cain also spelled Kane.
·         When Cain killed his brother Abel, he was marked by God.  We do not know what the mark was and many argue that this mark was a CURSE to turn his skin BLACK, but the Book does not support this; the Book says it was a mark of MERCY to protect Cain from being killed.  However God did put a curse on one of Cain’s descendants which was Ham’s son Canaan whose descendants included the people of Africa.  May they be the lowest of servants.  NYOBS 16.06 - CAIN AND ABEL -- NYOBS 16.09 – MARK OF CAIN -- NYOBS 15.03 - BLACK CURSE -- NYOBS 13.18 – NOAH GETS DRUNK
·         Murray makes a clear point that the Kenites were a cursed people, but the Book indicates that from time to time God BLESSED THEM and they even traveled with the Israelites in the wilderness. -  Moses father in Law Jethro was a Kenite and the priest of Midian. – Saul sent word to the Kenites to separate themselves from the Amalekites before a battle since THEY HAS SHOWED KINDNESS to the Israelites. – David sent gifts to some of the cities of the Kenites.
·         NOTE: Curses are not forever; Ezekiel the prophet spells out that a son won’t suffer punishment for his FATHER’S SINS, and a father won’t suffer punishment for his SON’S SINS. A curse can be broken by just turning to God and asking for forgiveness.
Judges 1:16 – Jethro, Moses father in law was a Kenite
16 When the tribe of Judah left Jericho—the city of palms—
THE KENITES, WHO WERE DESCENDANTS OF MOSES’ FATHER-IN-LAW, traveled with them into the wilderness of Judah. They settled among the people there, near the town of Arad in the Negev.
(NLT)
1 Samuel 15:6 – Kenites found favor with Israel
6 Saul sent this warning to the KENITES: “Move away from where the Amalekites live, or you will die with them.
For YOU SHOWED KINDNESS TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites packed up and left. (NLT)
1 Samuel 30:27-29 – David sent gifts to the Kenites
27 THE GIFTS were sent to the people of the following towns DAVID had visited: Bethel, Ramoth-negev, Jattir,
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
29 Racal, the towns of the Jerahmeelites,
THE TOWNS OF THE KENITES, (NLT)
Judges 5:24 – Jael the Kenite was most blessed woman in Jael
24 MOST BLESSED AMONG WOMEN is Jael, the wife of Heber THE KENITE. May she be blessed above all women who live in tents. (NLT)
Genesis 9:25 – Canaan cursed to be servants of his relatives
25 Then HE CURSED CANAAN, the son of Ham: “May Canaan be cursed!
MAY HE BE THE LOWEST OF SERVANTS TO HIS RELATIVES.” (NLT)
Ezekiel 18:20 – The person that sins is the one that is punished
20 The person who sins is the one who will die.
A SON WON’T SUFFER PUNISHMENT FOR THE FATHER’S INIQUITY, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity. The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him. (HCSB)
Psalm 130:4 – God offers Forgiveness
4 But YOU OFFER FORGIVENESS, that we might learn to fear you. (NLT)
Jeremiah 36:7 – Repent; ask for forgiveness before it too late
7 Perhaps even yet they will turn from their evil ways and
ASK THE LORD’S FORGIVENESS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. For the LORD has threatened them with his terrible anger.”
(NLT)
Daniel 9:9 – God has compassion and forgiveness if you want it
9
COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS BELONG TO THE LORD OUR GOD, though we have rebelled against Him (HCSB)
Acts 2:38 – Repent and be forgiven your sins
38 And Peter said to them, “REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (ESV)
Acts 10:43 – Everyone who believes in Jesus will be forgiven sin
43 All the prophets testify about Him that through His name EVRYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM
WILL RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.” (HCSB)
Doctrine
·         There are some doctrines that are held strongly by our BELIEF SYSTEM, but most of them although interesting, DO NOT AFFECT OUR SALVATION such as the Trinity, the Rapture, the Tribulations, the Millennium, the Gap Theory, the Serpent Seed Doctrine, the Kenites, an Eternal Hell, a Physical Resurrection, type of Baptism, etc. 
·         Our salvation is based solely on our acknowledgement that we are sinners and need a savior, and that Jesus Christ the Son of God is THE ONLY WAY to God; He alone is our savior.  Our job is to repent; ask for forgiveness of our sins and change our ways and if you can, make a public statement through any type of baptism that is available.
·         We are given a lifetime to find God and to enjoy Him here on earth all the days of our life, then after that, for an eternity in heaven.  The thief on the cross only enjoyed Christ for a few hours, but you can ENJOY Him for your entire remaining lifetime.

The Take Away   

·         Under Question is did the serpent or SATAN have SEX with Eve in the Garden of Eden and become the father of Cain? – I have made an attempt to make you aware that this theory certainly exist and is accepted by many around the world.  
·         The Book is full of allegories, parables, symbols and hyperboles, but for me, I must first accept the Book wherever possible as Literal; SO Eve ate of the fruit.  But in the end, the real point is that it was her actions that proved who her father really was and that is the take away for us; It’s OUR ACTIONS that prove who our father really is.  (Love is a verb.)
·         Nowhere in the Book is anyone condemned based on their identity as being from the linage of Cain; a “Kenite”Race and Gender have no standing with God, He clearly states He wants none to perish and that all should come to repentance. - Nowhere in the Book do we find a particular race of people that are unredeemable.  This worldview is front loaded with prejudice and bigotry.  Murray’s Belief System spews a HATRED FOR THE JEWS. 
·         The flood wiped out all the Hybrid Kenites if there were any; so for TODAY, it no longer matters who the father of Cain was because the Kenitesdo not exist. – But the example has certainly been set before us; that our actions, the fruits of our labors and our attitude toward God determines if we are Believers, Non-believers or CAIN Make-believers.
·         Nevertheless, there is still a battle going on Today between the TARES; the Muslims who are the offspring of Ishmael; and the WHEAT; the Jews the offspring’s of Jacob. - This prophesied hatred remains today fanned by the flames of ISIS, the Islamic Terrorist who believe they are promised paradise, but in the end will inherit Hell’s Fire. – Many Muslims have come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ; pray that others will receive this light also. NYOBS 76.02 - ISHMAEL & ISAAC ALLAH & YAHWEH
·         Murray seems to lack compassion as he speaks condescending to those who appear to disagree or challenge his interpretation of scripture.   When someone disagrees with his Belief System, instead of defending his position with scripture, he GETS UPSET and immediately attracts the viewer by saying they are ignorant and then brands them as being a “Kenite” and being used as a “tool of the Devil”.
·         Murray often says he would like to take someone out behind the woodshed "to give them an attitude adjustment" or "to straighten them out".  (Murray called Sarge, is an ex-Marine who stands 6’ 4” tall.) - There is a video of him pulling a gun out of a briefcase ON THE AIR when a visitor called out the word “Blasphemy”, the video; not quick enough, went to the “Shepard’s Chapel logo”, but you can still hear the audio; hopefully it was all done in gest, but you can watch it and judge it for yourself.   
·         Murray spends a lot of time talking about FALSE PROPHETS identified as preachers who PASS AN OFFERING PLATE in church and especially THOSE WHO DON’T PREACH chapter by chapter and verse by verse using ONLY the KJV Bible.  – He says ALL the other translations of the Bible have been corrupted by the “Kenites”. -  (The NLT is so easy to read; you’ll love it.)
·         NOTE:  it goes without saying that if you embrace the Kenite Doctrine, you also embrace that there was NOT a worldwide flood of Noah which would have killed all the Kenites”. 
  • Murray also keeps an ANGEL FOOT PRINT in his desk drawer, which is retrospective of LDS Joseph Smith finding some Golden Plates that revealed the Book of Mormon that corrects the translated ERRORS in the Bible.  The Golden plates can’t be seen because Smith gave them to the ANGEL MORONI. -  Murray’s theological positions such as reincarnation also lines up with the LDS Mormon Church. - NYOBS 75.02 - JOSEPH SMITH FAKE LDS PROPHET –  
·         Bad news; when we are BORN, our Father is Satan and our desire is to do his evil will, not because the Original Sin was Sexuality, but because it was the sin of DISOBEDIENCE. 
·         Good News; we can be BORN AGAIN and be a child of God and be OBEDIENT by doing His good work with ever turn of our hand. – Being BORN AGAIN is NOT reincarnation, so as to have a DO OVER for mistakes we made in another life. – Reincarnation is NOT a part of the Christian Life. – Man is destined to die ONCE and after that, the judgment; IT’S ALL OVER.
  • NOTE: Just because someone has a different Belief System than you do, does not make them EVIL, they can still Love the Lord with all their heart and are teaching what they believe the Book says.
·         I still watch Shepherd’s Chapel every morning for an hour and I am still learning from him as he is a brilliant teacher, but I must FILTER out his Belief System concerning the Serpent Seed Doctrine, Reincarnation, no Hell, no Trinity or Rapture and a HATRED for the Kenite JEWS. – When you enter into a Word study your Belief System will determine what you see as you read the scriptures.  - The fence post of truth will begin to line up, precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little.  - If the fence post do not ALL line up, then either the Book is wrong or YOUR Belief System is wrong. - It’s in the Book

Galatians 5:22-26 – Murray needs gentleness & SELF CONTROL
22 but the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives:
LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE,
KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,
23
GENTLENESS, and SELF-CONTROL. There is no law against these things!

John 8:44 - Your will is to do your father’s desires.

YOUR WILL IS TO DO YOUR FATHER’S DESIRES.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (ESV)
John 8:38 – Believer Father is God – Make Believer father Satan
38 I speak of what I have seen with MY FATHER (God), and you do what you have heard from YOUR FATHER (Satan).” (ESV)
Galatians 3:28 – Race nor Gender have any impact with God

YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. (ESV)
2 Peter 3:9 – Gods wishes ALL would be saved
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,
NOT WISHING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that
ALL SHOULD REACH REPENTANCE. (ESV)
Hebrews 9:27 -  We are destined to die once then the Judgment
27 And just as EACH PERSON IS DESTINED TO DIE ONCE
AND AFTER THAT COMES JUDGMENT. (NLT) 
Isaiah 28:10 – Fence post line up, studying line upon line
10 For it is PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT, precept upon precept,
LINE UPON LINE, line upon line, here a little, there a little.” (ESV)








In the multitude of counselors,
there is wisdom.
Proverbs 11:14


I am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical
information, and scripture verses.  Because of them I can stand on their shoulders
                         and see further that I otherwise ever could have.
