Run Outta Baltimore Bryant Strikes Again

The only thing worse than a liar, are the people who prop them up and give them credibility...and so it is for Jamal "YEP, THAT'S MY BABY" Bryant and his so called, alleged "political activism" leading to his alleged flat out lies...

First, I want you to know, there is no greater man of integrity than COGIC Presiding Bishop, and I do emphasize, current and duly elected, appointed and I would even say, "called", Presiding Bishop J Drew Sheard. 

For years, since I have known him as the Pastor of his church, then Superintendent, then Bishop and now Presiding Bishop, I was moved and impressed by his modesty, character, sincerity and dedication to Pastoral ministry. If there were ever an example of a Pastor and one that is a sound leader, he is certainly one. 

Although I know he is not God, and neither are any of us, and has made mistakes like we all have, however believe me, $75,000 couldn't move a mole from a molehill in Detroit, Memphis or anywhere else in America, yet alone could it entice Bishop Sheard to do anything that he wasn't already in motion or set to do. 

VIDEO...Accusations Refuted

As you can see and hear, in this video, Jamal Bryant, the "REJECT of Baltimore" and new wanna be "king of Atlanta", after announcing a "Target Fast and Boycott" in Feb. 2025, says that Target bought Black churches and their leaders by dividing $300,000 among them as hush money to not participate in the alleged boycott against Target's reversal of DEI (Diversity Equity & Inclusion) initiatives...The only problem is that what Bryant was saying was misleading and therefore a LIE...

Target, which is another story all together as I will explain,  gives annually through 3 primary programs, to the Black Community and churches. According to their Grants and Corporate giving website:

Our philanthropic functions include: Corporate Citizenship, Target Foundation and Community Vitality Grant Programs.

According to Target these 3 types of programs are in effect annually and fund community ventures of charitable and community based organizations, non profits and churches situated in and serving the Black community.

After an April 2025 meeting with Target CEO Brian Cornell, Al Sharpton, the Director of NAN, (the National Action Network,) and Bryant himself, Bryant concluded that there wasn't enough commitment on the part of Target to correct their reversal of DEI and like most "race baiters" (those that make their living off of inciting negative and even destructive actions based on race and sentiments of racism) Bryant left the meeting suggesting that certain churches were paid off to avoid endorsing his 40 Day Target boycott, and as you heard him speaking for himself, inferring that among others, Presiding Bishop J Drew Sheard had been paid $75,000 as "hush money" to simply walk away from endorsing any action against Target. 

What REJECTS!!!! 

Bryant, was not only allegedly run out of Baltimore by PFK Boom (Davon Neverdon) and his group of community activists known as "300 Gangstas", for his ineffective leadership, lascivious behavior, idolatry and unsanctimonious living, 


We didn't hear a word from this REJECT and so called "community leader" when Target was allowing men in women's restrooms, and selling clothes designed to promote and pull children into gay and transsexual lifestyles and defending it all as some sort of rite of passage...what you heard were CRICKETS from Bryant, who, according to him, has a family which shops at Target regularly.

DEI & Reverse Racism 

What is Bryant fighting for? In short POPULARITY...but let's move on to a more substantive issue...

DEI has been twisted and redefined to mean something that it wasn't intended to mean. As it is currently applied, it is a REVERSE RACISM initiative and as such is unfit for corporate consumption and I wholly agree with Presidential and legislative policy to do away with some of the more egregious and racial aspects of the program as is currently presented. I understand this fully, because I have not only studied it, but I am Certified in Diversity trainer in agreement with the fundamental basis of Diversity, however, DEI contorts the meaning of diversity, redefines "equity" and overlaps "inclusion" to include a host of unbefitting perversions reducing the initiative to a Socialistic Race based program, powered by Critical Race Theory, designed to use racism to allegedly combat racism. The promoters of DEI and its implementation is heavily rooted in the application of racism, redefining fairness and equity to mean equal "outcomes" as opposed to equal opportunities.  I'll leave that to debates in the comments if you so chose...

CONCLUSION

To the heart of the issues...

Bishop J Drew Sheard is more than capable of defending himself and affirming his leadership within the Church Of God In Christ as he did in the video. In my opinion, Jamal Bryant is a REJECT and delivers a host of untruths, unpalatable suggestions and inferences and offers an non Christ centered and even unbiblical moral ethic on modern social and political issues...

Sorry, I have been busy, but I really didn't think anyone would listen to or take Bryant in any serious manner, especially after he exposed himself historically, remains unrepentant and continues to pile on more and more ungodliness continuing to expose himself for the pulpit charlatan that he is. I can say that he certainly pastors a church with a right name..."New Birth" because both he and the previous pastor need and needed a NEW BIRTH!

Some will invariably claim that I am too harsh, but what is too harsh is to continue in sin and unrighteousness, lies and deceit while claiming to be a representative of Christ and the community. This is the embodiment of Bryant, his doctrine and what many of us see as we see and listen to him. 

After this, I believe I will do what I haven't done in a long time...GO to Target and buy something...going to check that bathroom policy first however, AND we may just apply for Target community based funding for a community initiative...THANKS JAMAL...your rhetoric wasn't in vain! 

Thank Bishop Sheard for addressing the issues, but he didn't have to address anything. Those of us who LIVE Truth, already know the truth and continue to praise God for it.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ~ John 8:32

Blessed!

Does Reconciliation Exist For Jamal H. Bryant?

One of the first things to do is define the term in the title of this post:
Reconciliation: Reconciliation comes from the Greek family of words that has its roots in allasso [ajllavssw]. The meaning common to this word group is "change" or "exchange." Reconciliation involves a change in the relationship between God and man or man and man. It assumes there has been a breakdown in the relationship, but now there has been a change from a state of enmity and fragmentation to one of harmony and fellowship. In Romans 5:6-11, Paul says that before reconciliation we were powerless, ungodly, sinners, and enemies; we were under God's wrath (v. 9). Because of change or reconciliation we become new creatures. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" ( 2 Cor 5:17 )...Reconciliation is also subjective in that the sinner is spoken of as being reconciled. It is a relationship that comes between man and wife as well as Jew and Gentile. If a person is about to offer a gift at the altar and remembers that he has something against his brother he should leave his gift and be reconciled first to his brother and then come and offer his gift. Reconciliation is something done by the one who offers it; it is not just something that happens to the estranged people. ~ Baker's Online Evangelical Theological Dictionary
Many in ministry today view it as an "inconvenience" when they fail. It is merely a disruption in things that must be "managed". There are PR firms and image management consultants that are hired and go to work to manage and minimize "damage" that has occurred due to sinful behavior.

When all is said and done there is a difference between restoration and reconciliation. There there is a difference between changing because one was "caught" and changing because one is truly sorry. Some instances of reconciliation may take a lifetime. Although we may never know the difference from God's perspective, one thing is for sure, God knows. Certainly we've all made our share of mistakes and committed our share of personal sins, but when one never knows what one is really giving up and what it will take to actually reconcile or be reconciled to God as a result of sins and personal behavior.

Although I will deal with the issue in greater detail in a future post, I wanted to take the time to listen to what Jamal Bryant is actually saying in this video. Is he real? Has he really changed? Did he truly repent or did he repent at all? Please speak on this in the comments section if you can, I am interested to hear commentary on this.    



Remember Jamal's missive to Ebony Magazine regarding their March 2013 "scandal issue" in which he and this incident was named:
"For 67 years, Ebony Magazine has been the drum beat for culture in the African American community. John Johnson its beloved founder dedicated his life to safe guarding our image with great integrity. 
The March 2013 edition has left a hole in my heart. On page 124 they published that it’s alleged I impregnated a 17-year-old member of my church. This accusation is categorically and completely untrue. To publish this with absolutely no source lends itself to reckless endangerment to my children, my congregation and my community.
Ebony is not the National Enquirer. A higher standard is required and the statement jeopardizes my ministry to the youth in my church and community. So it is on moral grounds that a retraction is necessary. 
In 2007 I participated in an extramarital affair that resulted ultimately in the termination of my marriage to my incredible wife Gizelle. NO minors were involved but my minor children have been affected. I don’t want them to have to live through any further unnecessary pain. 
Matthew 18:15 say’s if your brother has sinned against you go and tell him his fault. I solicit your continued prayers for my family, forgiveness for myself and accountability from Ebony magazine. 
Flawed but faithful. I remain,

Open "Confessions", Ebony Style


Well this is a scandalous day to say the least. it seems that every week something new is being revealed or coming to the surface regarding certain persons and those who you thought were your "greatest" ministry personality. There are numerous reasons for this. first, God ALONE is the only one due worship and allegiance. God is certainly reminding us that all "flesh is as grass" (Isa. 40:6, 1 Pet. 1:24), no one is to be worshiped or exalted but HIM. 

With that said, and speaking of "scandal", in a story carried by none other more rigorously than Mr. Obnoxious himself, William G. McCray, it seems that the often worshiped founder of Empowerment Temple, Jamal Bryant, has made an open confession in response to a March 2013 editorial of Ebony Magazine. In the article Ebony set forth an examination of modern day scandals referring to the event which allegedly dissolved Jamal's marriage. Reportedly, Jamal not only committed adultery with a younger member of  his church, he also fathered a child with her. She was later reportedly escorted out of the sanctuary when confronting Jamal about the issue in front of the church.

In a statement (below) the "Alpha Pimp" confesses to "participating" in an affair (what does that mean???) and doing most of the damage, but also claims that Ebony and others are doing even more damage. Well, yes, he did it, and nearly everything else. EXCEPT that, according to him, there were ever any other "minors" involved other than his own children. So that whole incident can be put to rest. (OK...yea, right...)

The Confession

Here's his statement and confession:  
For 67 years, Ebony Magazine has been the drum beat for culture in the African American community. John Johnson its beloved founder dedicated his life to safe guarding our image with great integrity.
The March 2013 edition has left a hole in my heart. On page 124 they published that it’s alleged I impregnated a 17-year-old member of my church. This accusation is categorically and completely untrue. To publish this with absolutely no source lends itself to reckless endangerment to my children, my congregation and my community.
Ebony is not the National Enquirer. A higher standard is required and the statement jeopardizes my ministry to the youth in my church and community. So it is on moral grounds that a retraction is necessary.
In 2007 I participated in an extramarital affair that resulted ultimately in the termination of my marriage to my incredible wife Gizelle. NO minors were involved but my minor children have been affected. I don’t want them to have to live through any further unnecessary pain.
Matthew 18:15 say’s if your brother has sinned against you go and tell him his fault. I solicit your continued prayers for my family, forgiveness for myself and accountability from Ebony magazine.
Flawed but faithful. I remain,
Jamal- Harrison Bryant
(A Father and Pastor)

So what Jamal is saying (or not saying) is that all the reports were accurate except for the report of him impregnating a 17 year old member. he also suggests that anyone making inaccurate statements are lending to the hurt and stability of his family and all involved. 


Now Isn't That A True Pimp Move?
To try to convince YOU that YOU are the cause of the problem for having and formulating your own opinions based on what he did? 

Now, don't get me wrong, there is a whole host of internet conversation on what happened and all of that. I am not in that and never been to Empowerment Temple, am not nor have ever been "blessed" by Bryant's ministry and have not and do not care to meet him personally except that he is willing confess, pray and repent. No one who was there, has ever called or emailed me to share their personal story, and I am not looking for such verification, but I (and we) can look at what he said for himself. 

The Real Issue

The problem is NOT forgiveness or the ability to forgive. Neither is the church to blame nor is anyone else looking on as "Mr. Alpha" seems to suggest. The problem is the attitude that anyone else can do more damage to him and his family than he has already done, and the utter lack of accountability, correction and redirection. 

Yes, this is tough. It's not easy when sins are dragged out before the world. It's even more tough to realize that you have failed and disgraced God, family, the church and community...but it is down right arrogance that blames those who see and know it for making you feel "uncomfortable" or for telling what they know.

This leads to what the modern minister feels is "good enough" so far as repentance is concerned. For them, anyone "talking" (at least those not saying what they want to hear) is "negative" and is not being godly. The onlookers and the ones who have paid their tithe, and faithfully and diligently served, are at fault when they demand a full accounting and a better standard. These are tricks of the "alpha pimp" trade. under the theme that the "mission" is greater than any sin that one can commit, those seems to expect to simply go on, bypass an accounting for self and sin and blame those that are disturbed by the sins claiming that they are somehow at fault. This type of response is almost as big of, if not even more, of a lie than the original sinful and dastardly acts that led to the incidence.

Now, Jamal claims that those talking are making it difficult for his family, when the truth is that he didn't care about any of that at the time he looked over his congregation and chose an illicit lover. There is absolutely no one that will have a greater concern and care for his children than he does. evidently he didn't care, why and how does he expect Ebony, McCray or anyone else to care?

The problem is not failure. Certainly we have all sinned in one form or another. The problem is the arrogance in dealing with it and blaming others for our sins. It seems that if others don;t tell the story, we will tell it ourselves, because the TRUTH simply must be told. One thing is for sure, the word of God is right:

Luke 12:2-32-For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3-Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

May the LORD have mercy on us all as we kneel down, bowing our soul and seeking HIS face!!!!!

Blessed!

Sexuality; A Moral Issue, Not An Issue Of Equality Pt. 1

2 Timothy 4:3 ~ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 
"Moreover, given the increasing diversity of America's population, the dangers of sectarianism have never been greater. Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers. And even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we go with James Dobson's, or Al Sharpton's? Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount - a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let's read our bibles. Folks haven't been reading their bibles." ~ Senator Barack Obama, "A Call To Renewal" Washington DC 6/8/2006
Since President Obama made specific statements regarding his endorsement of homosexual marriage, the church community has been divided, some even realigning what they believe and how they interpret the bible to align with the Obamaian political agenda and pluralistic world view.

Religious Confusion & The Surprise?

One of the most interesting things regarding the President’s endorsement of gay marriage is that so many preachers, such as Jamal Bryant, say that they were “surprised” at the President’s position.

“A lot of African-American leaders right now are really dazed by this because we didn't see it coming. For the last four years, the African-American clergy have really supported, covered, and prayed for President Obama, and it really came without any warning. Sunday is going to be a real great divide in Black churches and churches across America discussing the issue. African-Americans are, by and large, sexually conservative and socially more aggressive. And so, pastors on Sunday morning are going to be really walking a balancing act. How now do we juxtapose this issue up against a president that we have supported over the last four years?"  ~ Pastor Jamal Bryant  to CNN 5/10/2012

After Jamal's statement of "surprise" he then goes on to say that one particular area of disagreement was no reason to withdraw from supporting the President. I believe that  some of these folk were either asleep, or are “acting” and pretending that they didn’t know what the President stood for afar off. The fact is that a

Who Paid Bishop Carton Pearson $100,000 To Speak At Azusa In 1990? Pimped & Being Pimped Pt. 1

The Lexi Show Strikes Again


In what was one of the most spiritually diverse interviews between African American leaders of the church, Lexi allowed the founder of modern Pentecostalism's Azusa Conferences, Bishop Carton Pearson a former pentecostal turned Universalist, to share the stage with Dr. Jamaal "Intellectual Orgasm" Bryant, Bishop George Bloomer and Rev. Dr. Van Gayton President Of Logos Bible College & Seminary and, you guessed it, there were some significant claims and statements made.

For those who don't know, or maybe just unaware, Bishop Pearson came through the ranks of the Church Of God In Christ to become one of the most charismatic television evangelists and ministers ever associated with Dr. Oral Roberts and The Oral Roberts University. He managed to woo almost the entire Pentecostal world with his recounting of holiness as taught by many of the early 1900's pentecostal church leaders along with his dynamic singing voice and inviting personality. All of this seems to have concluded and been brought to a screeching halt with his acceptance of the message of inclusion also known as the doctrine of universal reconciliation, which states that men and women everywhere and without repentance from sin or even the acknowledgement of Jesus as Lord or his atoning work, are already saved because Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world. Initially, Bishop Pearson reluctantly promoted this doctrine, along with it's many other caveats such as no hell or penalty for sin, lost almost all of his former ministry associates because of it and rocked the Charismatic wing of the church in the United States.

Parlor Tricks & Magic

Wavey Motion Pattern Crazy Optical Illusion
How Do You Like This Moving Design?

Acts 8: 14-24 ~ "14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me."

This scripture was recorded by Luke approximately 50- 57 AD in Samaria, an arising "hot spot" for spirituality. The gospel had spread from Jerusalem, and the Power of the Holy Ghost was falling every where the word was being preached and received. A magician named Simon aka Simon Magus began to follow the church by examining the demeanor of the Apostles and hearing the message. This man was himself beforehand gaining in popularity but hadn’t quite found his niche or reached his stride of fame. Now seemed to be his time to expand and flex his muscle.

After observing the Apostles, Peter and John, Simon was so excited about the potential of his new found spiritual resource that he decided to take the short route in obtaining what he thought was sure to bring him fame, prosperity, wealth and popularity. He was convinced that this was his "season of Passover" and he surely heard "chi-ching money coming"…being short on patience and long on ambition he decided to offer money for "the gift of God"

He was met by the Spirit of God through the Apostles, dis-fellowshipped from the early church, and ultimately embarrassed, without admitting that his heart wasn’t right.

Was Simon so tricked that he tricked and deceived himself into believing that he was in fellowship with Christ? Was he so self-centered that he did not have the ability to accurately judge his own actions?

Although the evidence is spotty it has been reported throughout history that Simon Magus did ultimately achieve the fame that he was looking for. It is reported that he was one of the first teachers of Gnosticism and Gnostic concepts that would make entry into the culture during the Second Century after the Apostles began to transition from earth to Heaven.

These philosophies were non-Christian, and heavily promoted fame, material wealth, a mythic (non-material) Jesus and no resurrection from the dead. Gnostics also taught an "enlightenment" (knowledge based) salvation and a creation brought to pass by an evil god called Demiurge. There was no code of Gnosticism, no Gnostic church or rules of living other than the message of self-promotion.

Slight Of Hand- David Blaine Ain't got Nuthin'on This!

It is reported that Simon Magus became so popular in Samaria that he converted almost the entire city to himself. According to Justin Martyr (A Christian Apologist) in AD 160, Simon tricked so many people that they begin to call him "holy god" and even had a statue erected on the Tiber River between the 2 common bridges that were used for traffic. Iraneus in AD 180 reported that Simon had married a prostitute named Helena and claimed that he had created her by his very thoughts.

It was further reported by Justin Martyr in 160AD that Simon’s disciple "Meander The Heretic" was "possessed by devils" claiming that he had received the "primary power" and had been sent forth from the presence of "invisible beings" to be the savior and deliverer of men.

Tertullian AD 210, later reported that it was "Saturnius" a disciple of Meander the Heretic, that claimed and taught that "man was made by angels".

And The People Followed The Parlor Trick

I was speaking to a friend one day and we were discussing a certain pastor who had taken advantage of his followers by scheming to get "mo-money", sleeping around (men and women) and flirting with whomever he could. The person told me that one day he saw his pastor in an inappropriate situation with a particular female member of his church, but immediately his mind told him that he DID NOT see what he thought he saw. The pastor "played off" his actions as if they were normal.

Later, after leaving that church, he came under conviction because he felt that he had wasted far too much time serving in a ministry that was immoral and dysfunctional at it's leadership. Unfortunately, while he was there however, he wrote what he saw off as nothing.

He Wrote it off as nothing.

I wondered did this Pastor use the same sort of slight of hand that Simon Magus used to gain his following?…So much so that the people would call him "holy god" and build a statue to him while living. Slight of hand so much that in many cases today, people still call him PASTOR, MINISTER, PROPHET, EVANGELIST and even APOSTLE, ARCH-APOSTLE, ARCH-BISHOP, ARCH-PROPHET, and the list goes on...

Then it occurred to me that Simon Magus is one of the most popular ministers in the church today. These are the type of things that he does:

Simon Magus has babies on his wife outside of marriage, with a "barely legal" church member, presents them (at least one baby) and a girlfriend with a lame excuse to the church, appears during fund raising campaigns on TBN (That's Television) like nothing ever happened and continues to book appointments in subsidizing the $300,000 annual income that helps pay for and buy more Bentleys and Multi-Million Dollar homes.



Simon Magus fights for marriage during the power conferences, instigates
a fight a few days later, appears on TV in support of her husband (accused) abuser, and then files for divorce the next day, shows up at Priestess Oprah's ranch as a "The New face Of Domestic Violence"


Simon Magus molests church members for over 20 years, paddles and spanks adult women, and collects offering from some of the largest
churches in the country and then when the "cat's out of the bag" says that he was never REALLY a part of any organization. That's a real "trick"


Simon Magus rapes, fondles and inappropriately touches young adult and adopted members of his family, (while sleep-walking) proclaims his innocence and gets sentenced to 25 years in prison. (Justice served)


Simon Magus has illicit affairs, appears on TBN as one of the best and brightest upcoming mega-ministers in the country, but when he's confronted with his sins initially refuses but reluctantly resigns from ministry and assumes that everything will just be OK after a while.


Simon Magus appears on TBN (Which has Become The Popular Meeting Place) claiming that he had AIDS and was suffering from anal hemorrhages, professing that he
has been healed by God, but refused and failed to denounce the homosexual lifestyle that facilitated his problems. This simply opens the door for other with his same problems to continue in their sins as well.

Simon Magus creates the largest child prostitution ring ever in US history from pulpits across America, defiling an estimated 800 children over 20 years of ministry transporting children given to him willingly by their parents (unknowingly) to OTHER MINISTERS and perverts willing to pay for services…but then after being released on parole takes flight, on a forged passport, is captured and in 3 months develops terminal skin cancer that kills him in jail in less than a year.


It Must Be Parlor Tricks & Magic

Simon Magus was so influential, that taking his show on the road was the easiest thing to do. No matter what he did or said, he had defenders, apologists and entourages at his every beck and call and money and material gain was astounding.

The End Of Tricks

It was reported by Arnobius in AD 305 that Apostle Peter’s last encounter with Simon Magus was said to have concluded with a powerful and miraculous event in which God exacted his judgement. Simon Magus supposedly visited Rome to try to convert Christians to his belief. He specifically targeted Peter in effort to try to put him to shame. Arnobius reported that when Simon targeted Peter, "God then targeted him". Arnobius reported that at the mouth of Peter, Simon’s lavish BENTLEY (OOPS) I mean his chariot was blown away and destroyed at "the name of Christ", "throwing Simon into the air and depositing him headfirst to the earth laying him in the street dead with noticeably broken legs."

The master of making things appear differently than what they really were couldn't make God change from judgement against ungodliness. By the mid second century Origen AD 248 would write that there were probably no more than 30 followers of Simon Magus' apostasy and that the only reason he was remembered in the earth was because TRUE Christians told about how God brought judgement upon Simon after Luke recorded the initial incident in scripture mid first century.

Ironically, Simon Magus Got every bit of the Fame he sought so desperately.

Revelation 2:14-17 ~ But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

By the way, that design at the beginning of this blog ISN'T really moving at all. It must be some sort of "trick".
Blessed!
