In 1947, Roswell Army Air Field officers allegedly recovered United States Army Air Forces balloon debris from a ranch near Corona, New Mexico, while others believe that the debris involved a flying saucer. This is still believed by many people to this day who are all deemed conspiracy theorists. Prior to recent years, these conspiracists were deemed as crazy, and it was insane to believe in such a thing as aliens. Today, things have changed. It’s no longer crazy to believe in aliens; it’s now narcissistic to believe that earth is the only planet with life. Why have things changed? Is there actual proof of aliens? What about in the Bible? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through the Bible for answers in his video, Church Under Attack Pt. 5: The Alien Agenda?
Psalms 14:1
The Alien Agenda
Aliens in the Bible
Aliens are not mentioned once in the Bible. In fact, aliens are not even hinted at in the Bible. So, why wouldn’t God mention aliens in the Bible if they are real and have the potential to be a threat to us?
10 Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, 11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
Scientists claim that we are a small insignificant planet in a small insignificant galaxy spiraling through an ever-expanding Universe. So, where does that leave us? Why would God create man in His own image, die for all of mankind, and seemingly create everything for us if we are so insignificant? How do these Scientific facts compare with Biblical facts? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he compares Scripture and science to understand our place in the Universe in his video, Church Under Attack Pt. 4: The Religion of Science.

Do Science and Scripture Contradict?
Does the earth orbit the sun?
According to Scripture, the sun was created on the fourth day and then placed in the firmament.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth”; and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19
Never does it mention the earth orbiting or moving, but it does mention the sun rising and setting and moving across the heavens.
5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.
Ecclesiastes 1:5
So, if science directly contradicts Scripture and some still choose science over Scripture, then science has become your god, your source of religion.
Science Contradicts Scripture’s Four Corners of the Earth
11 and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.
Acts 10:11
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
Here in the West, the Church is still relatively free. We don’t live in fear that we will be beaten, jailed, or murdered if the wrong people find out we’re Christians. Instead, it’s our beliefs that are under attack. We’re afraid to believe everything in the Bible because we don’t want to seem ignorant or straight-up stupid to the World. Why is that? Because though we are not persecuted physically, our beliefs are under attack. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he warns us against the dangerous rewriting of Scripture known as the Gap Theory that is sweeping through the Church today in his video, Church Under Attack Pt. 3: Beguiled By Science.
Matthew 16:18 Genesis 1:1-2 Genesis 2:1-3 2 Peter 3:5–7 Matthew 19:4 Mark 10:6 Romans 5:12–14 Genesis 1:5
Beguiled By Science
The Gap Theory
The Verse
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Genesis 1:1-5
The Argument of the Gap Theory
According to the Gap Theory, there was a gap between verse 1 and verse 2 of Genesis 1. During this time, it is believed that the earth was without form and void because this was when Lucifer was thrown down to the earth and was turned to Satan. But nowhere in Scripture does God even hint to this being so. So, then why is this becoming a very common belief? Because we have been beguiled by science.
The Problem with the Gap Theory
Revelation 12 records the account of Satan being thrown down to earth. It records him being thrown down at the time of a child’s birth. This baby boy, in Revelation 12, is Jesus. For more on that, check out our video, Revelation 12 War: Why Did Satan Attack?
Isaiah 14 records the account of Lucifer being thrown down to Sheol around the time of Babylon’s fall. This account can’t be during this supposed gap in creation as one of his sins was trying to be above the stars of God, and at this point, the stars were not even created yet.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19
12 How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 13 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ 15 But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.
Isaiah 14:12-15
For more on Lucifer and when he fell, check out our video Who Is Lucifer?
The other major problem with the Gap Theory is that the Gap Theory says that God got it wrong and wasn’t actually sure how long it took to create everything. Where does it say that? God specifically says, ‘And there was evening and there was morning, the first (second, third, fourth, etc.) day.’ There is no way to twist it. Either God knew how long it took Him to create the universe, or He didn’t. There is no way around it.
In today’s world, Christianity has been mixed with other religions, specifically Catholicism (the Catholic Church). Even when asked what religion someone is, they tell you either Catholic or Christian. This now begs the question, is Catholicism Christianity? Are Catholics Christians? Or are they wolves in sheep’s clothing? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through historical documents and Scripture to find the answer to these questions and more in his video, Church Under Attack Pt. 2: Beware of the Wolves.

Beware of the Wolves
Catholics Stopped the Spread of the Word of God
Martin Luther 95 Theses
When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” (Mt 4:17), He willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy.
Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various outward mortification of the flesh.
The penalty of sin remains as long as the hatred of self (that is, true inner repentance), namely till our entrance into the kingdom of heaven.
The pope neither desires nor is able to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that of the canons.
The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring and showing that it has been remitted by God; or, to be sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in these cases were disregarded, the guilt would certainly remain unforgiven. Read more…
The Catholic Church has never been a friend of the Christian Church. The Catholic Church kept the Word of God from the common people so that they could not learn the Truth of Christianity and thereby gaining discernment to see through their disguise.
Scripture was only for the clergy to read
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19–20
Jesus makes it plain that we are to teach the people to observe and obey all that He commanded. Therefore, they must understand what we are teaching. But in the dark ages, the people were kept in the dark regarding the truth of the Gospel. Only the clergy were allowed to read the Scriptures. The laypeople were not allowed to own, read, or distribute Scripture.
Catholics Contradict Scripture
Pope Francis calls Jesus a Failure
Many people believe that Pope Francis is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We know we should beware of the wolves, but is Pope Francis a wolf? Let’s take one of his statements from 2015.
And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and produce no fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus . . . and His life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, in the failure of the cross.
Pope Francis, September 24 2015
Scripture Contradiction
No matter how you try to twist it or spin it, Jesus’ life did not end in failure. No one took His life; He willingly laid it down.
17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I [Jesus] lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.
John 10:17-18
No one took Jesus’ life from Him. He freely gave it up. Why? Because that was His one mission in life. Why? Because that was the only way that we could be saved.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, He said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When He said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then He added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:4-10
Jesus came for one reason, and one reason alone, to die for the sins of the world. Therefore, no matter how you try to spin it, Jesus, as a man, did not fail but completed the will of His Father. For this reason, we have to pay close attention to all of the teachings out there because we are sheep amongst wolves. So beware of the wolves.
From the very beginning, the Church has been under attack. The children of God have never been accepted by the world because the Church is not a part of the world. From the time of the first Church, Peter, James, Paul, and more all were in agreement that they were in the last days. Historian John Foxe recorded the persecution of the early Church in his book Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sets the stage to the beginning of the persecution of the Church in this first video of Church Under Attack.

The Beginning of Persecution
Persecution of the Early Church
The Jews
13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed Him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
John 5:13-18
Nero
Nero even refined upon cruelty, and contrived all manner of punishments for the Christians that the most infernal imagination could design. In particular, he had some sewed up in skins of wild beasts, and then worried by dogs until they expired; and others dressed in shirts made stiff with wax, fixed to axletrees, and set on fire in his gardens, in order to illuminate them. This persecution was general throughout the whole Roman Empire; but it rather increased than diminished the spirit of Christianity. In the course of it, St. Paul and St. Peter were martyred.
Foxe’s Book of Martyrs
Domitian
The emperor Domitian, who was naturally inclined to cruelty, first slew his brother, and then raised the second persecution against the Christians. In his rage he put to death some of the Roman senators, some through malice; and others to confiscate their estates. He then commanded all the lineage of David be put to death. Another hardship was, that, when any Christians were brought before the magistrates, a test oath was proposed, when, if they refused to take it, death was pronounced against them; and if they confessed themselves Christians, the sentence was the same.
Our world is ruled by two sets of beliefs: a belief based on faith in God or a belief based on faith in science. These two belief systems rule our world. So, as Christians, what happens if science and the Bible contradict? Should Christians believe science over the Bible? Does the science ever contradict the Bible anyway?

According to science, humans evolved from primates. In other words, apes. How does this match up with the Bible?
The Bible
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:26-27
According to the Genesis account, the Theory of Evolution is a direct contradiction to the Bible. So, if science got this wrong, is it possible they got other things wrong as well?
Cain has become the center of many conspiracy theories of the Bible. The biggest probably being his origin. Where did Cain come from? Now, this may seem like an easy question to many people, but many believe that Cain’s origins may have been a bit more interesting than just Adam and Eve. Many believe that Cain is the offspring of the Serpent and Eve. But is that true? Is Cain the son of the Serpent? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he investigates these claims of the Biblical origins of Cain in his video, Who Is Cain?

The Genesis Account of the Origins of Cain
1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.”
Genesis 4:1
John’s Possible Account of the Origins of Cain
12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous.
1 John 3:12
Jesus’ Possible Account of the Descendants of Cain
39 They answered Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are doing the works your father did.” They said to Him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.
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. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
John 8:39-47
Conclusion
Cain is not the physical son of the Serpent, the Devil, but the Spiritual son of the Devil. Just like we are not the physical children of God or Abraham, but we are Spiritual children of God and the Spiritual children of Abraham. Those who sin, are children of the Devil, but those who walk in the ways of righteousness are the children of God.
20 years ago, the Spirit of Fear made its way to the center of every culture. In today’s world, fear has seemed to overcome all people, including the Church. The Church seems to be more afraid today than the early Church under Roman persecution. Is there anything wrong with being afraid? Is it a sin to be afraid? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the answer to the question, Is Fear a Sin?

Is Fear a Sin?
Command Not To Be Afraid
If God commanded us not to do something, then it is a sin to do it. God commanded us not to be afraid. Therefore fear is a sin.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

How To Overcome Fear
If fear is a sin, then do not be afraid.
Know Who Your God Is
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.
John 10:27-30
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

According to John, the Word of the LORD is God, but does that make sense? Is the Word God, or is the Word just an ‘it’, not an actual entity or person? Is this Word the light or life that the LORD God used to create everything we see and everything we don’t see? Or is there more to the story since Jesus said He (and His Father) is the light and life? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to answer the question, What or Who Is the Word of God?

The Word of the LORD
The Word is God
John 1:1 says, “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Here are a couple of instances of the Word of the LORD declaring Himself to be the LORD God.
1After these things the Word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”
7 And He said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”
Genesis 15:1, 7
10 The Word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments.” And Samuel was angry, and he cried to the Lord all night.
1 Samuel 15:10-11
Whenever the Word of the LORD comes to someone, it’s as an actual living entity declaring to be the LORD God. This is because the Word of the LORD isn’t just God speaking, but it’s the LORD God Himself. The Word of the LORD is one of the members of the God-Head, the Trinity.
The Word is the Creator
According to John 1:3, 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. Here are a couple of instances of the LORD God saying He is the only creator.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, 6 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other. 7 I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.
11 Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands? 12 I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.
Isaiah 45:5-7, 11-12
4 Give them this charge for their masters: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters: 5 “It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me.”’
Jeremiah 27:4-5
According to the LORD God, He is the sole creator of all things. Therefore, if the Word of the LORD created all things, then He is one of the members of the God-Head.
The Word is Light and Life
John 1:4 says, 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The Word of the LORD is light and life, which is eerily similar to what Jesus said about Himself. Here are few instances of Jesus saying that He is the light and life.
The Life
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son also to have life in Himself. 27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
John 5:25-27
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:1-3
The Light
35 So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”
John 12:35-36
44 And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in Him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees Him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.”
John 12:44-46
The Word of the LORD is Jesus. Jesus is the light and life of the World. Jesus is the Creator. And most importantly, Jesus is God. The Word of the LORD is the light and life because the Word of the LORD is Jesus, the Son of God.
In today’s world, the role of a father has been lowered and demeaned. It no longer holds any importance to us, but the father is an important role in the Bible. So, what exactly is the role of a father according to the Bible? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture for the answer.
John 5:19 John 8:39-47 Proverbs 18:21 Genesis 27:38 Genesis 48:9 Job 1:5 Genesis 17:18-21
The Role of a Father
First Role of a Father: A Father Leads By Example
One of the first roles of a father is to lead by example. Whether it is good or bad, a father leads by example because his children are watching and learning from him.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater works than these will He show Him, so that you may marvel.
John 5:20
8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:8–10
Second Role of a Father: A Father Speaks Into His Children’s Lives
Our greatest example for a good father is our Heavenly Father. The very first thing God did after creating man and woman was to bless them.
27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Genesis 1:27-28
This is why one of the most important roles a father has is to speak into his children’s lives. Whether a father realizes it or not, his words have weight, they mean something. They aren’t just empty words that disappear once they are spoken. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. The role of a good father is to bless his children, to speak good things over their lives.
1 When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son”; and he answered, “Here I am.” 2 He said, “Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death. 3 Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me, 4 and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
Genesis 27:1-4
Third Role of a Father: A Father Prays For His Children
To pray for his children is one of the most important, if not the most important, roles of a father. Leading by example is important, as well as blessing your children, but to pray for your children is where the battle for their soul begins and ends. This role of a father is often overlooked and said to be a mother’s role, which it is, but it is a father’s role as well.
5 And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.
Job 1:5
Prayers to Pray For Your Children
24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
Deuteronomy 28:3-6
1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.
