"Jonah" ...not just a bedtime story
There are types, shadows and parallels to be found in scripture, plus details that, when brought to the surface, add to our knowledge and understanding, thus making those bedtime stories rich and relevant to our lives.

Do you have a question
for Pastor Ron?
Monday, November 24, 2014
From the mailbag...
I've emailed you in
the past & we've corresponded. You answered some questions, etc. You may or
may not remember. I live in Nebraska & have been a grace believer for about
15 years without a church. I get my teaching off the internet from many grace
teachers.
I wasn't aware of
the Joint-heirs controversy, or even your views on it. I came across it on
Bryan Ross's Church History page. I started reading all the articles one at a
time, with my first thought to oppose the NCGF view on this. After reading all
with an open mind & bible I have to say that I agree with you guys (God's
word) on this as it just makes sense with the verses.
I agree also on
your method of bible study, using the KJB to compare passages (and in the
context). I do see the danger of trusting the Greek instead of the KJB. This
really becomes an "end around" to cause us to doubt our bible, just
as the modern versions do. Thanks to Ryan Michael Jones, Matt Stutzman, and
yourself for the reminder.
I have more
questions, but enough for now. I do want to say I am sorry about the GSB
conference thing. I wish (and believe) we should be able to have honest
dialogue & we will not always agree on everything.
Thanks for your
work in rightly dividing the scriptures.
In Christ
(a Nebraska
listener)

I was introduced to
the grace message less than 2 months ago and find it amazing. I could go on and on about that, but will
spare you the rambling.
Just let me thank
you for the information and for teaching the "greatest story never told"
in most churches, with the passion and sincerity as you do. To the Judgment seat we go with confidence!
God bless you!
Hopefully this helps!

Thank you for the
immediate reply. Since I failed to
properly introduce myself, I think it would bring you great joy to know that
your preaching of the Gospel of Grace and Paul's Dispensation has reached the
Manila, Philippines.
As I mentioned we
are 8 people meeting every week to study God's Truth. We cannot find a local church that preaches
Dispensational Truth. All of us are
former Catholics and sadly all Christian churches here are not any different
than the Catholic church. I have been
searching for a sound teaching for the past 2 years now. There is no church or
pastor, in my search, who preaches Paul's letters.
It is sad that many
of the believers here are not fed God's Truth.... It is pretty much the blind
leading the blind. That is why I am so thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ that
through the internet media I am now hearing and learning the proper way of
studying the bible.
Know that I will
share all your videos on our Saturday meetings in the absence of a
teacher-pastor to lead our small group.
You shall hear from me again as we are all babes learning to walk. We will include you and all our spiritual
brethren your side of this earth.
May God bless you
and the whole church in Norcalgrace.
Thank you!
Hopefully this helps!

I am 25 years old
and am emailing you for a few different reasons and the first is to say a huge
THANK YOU!! I have listened to you on YouTube every morning as I get ready for
work for nearly a year and just wanted to tell you that you have helped me so
much with my walk with God and understanding the bible. You are an amazing man
of God and your teachings are easy to understand and it is truth, straight from
the word of God. I am so grateful to have found your bible studies on the
internet.
I would really love
your opinion on what denomination I should attend as I have been going to a
Pentecostal church for about a year and a half and before I even listened to
your teachings and felt uncomfortable with people speaking in tongues and
people being slain in the Holy Spirit. It all felt wrong, not of God, and I
prayed and prayed for an answer.....that is when I stumbled upon your studies
on YouTube. I also have children and I want them to grow up knowing the truth.
I don't want them learning things that are not of God in church. I want for us
to be planted in a church that rightly divides the word and understands it like
you do. This is so important to me as they are my beautiful children and it’s
important to me that they have correct understanding of God and his word. I
wondered if you had any advice for me and the pickle I am in. I have visited a
few other churches but someone always starts yelling out in gibberish.
I would love to
talk to you more, but I'll leave you with this right now. Once again thank you
so much. If it wasn't for God leading me
to your video's I would not understand the bible as I do now, rightly divided.
I still have sooooooo much to learn and will keep listening to your teachings,
praying and reading the word of God.
You are doing an
amazing job, keep up the great work from the other side of the world...you’re
reaching us!! :)
God bless,
(from a listener in
Rotorua, New Zealand)
Hopefully this helps!

Understanding the Bible
Ever wish someone would sit down with you and answer your questions in easy to understand words? Below is a radio program Bro. Ron Knight aired in Sacramento, CA, that may answer some of those questions.

From the mailbag…
It's comforting to
know that many others have been blessed by Ron's ministry and consider his
YouTube ministry as their church...I am also happy to share with you how we
came to Brother Ron's ministry.
After moving from
Chicago to Southern California, my wife and I were seeking a new church home.
We visited many places that were recommended by her family, and even some that
we had previously watched on television, but none of them fed us enough
spiritually. We finally came across a church that really stood out. The pastor
actually discussed more than 3 scriptures, and we were impressed. (How ironic,
I cannot remember what he preached that day.) The church had a big, beautiful
campus and even had a cafeteria inside where they served breakfast and lunch.
We looked at each other after church and said, I think we have finally found
our church home. At this time we had been living in California for over 2
years.
We decided to
return the following Sunday. On our second visit, he preached about tithing. He
talked about how he hated to do this, but unless he preaches about tithing;
people give too little or not at all. My wife and I were confused about tithing
at this time. She had been tithing pretty consistently to our previous church
in Chicago or elsewhere ever since we moved. I, on the other hand, was confused
about tithing and had heard arguments from all sides, but had not done my own
research.
The following
Sunday, our third visit to the church, he preached about tithing again. He used
the same scriptures as before and used fear to get his point across. This
struck me as odd, but my wife and I did not give up on the church yet and
decided to return again the following weekend. On our fourth visit to the
church, he yet again preached about tithing. At this point, while in church,
several red flags were going off inside my mind. He not only preached on
tithing, but wanted money for a separate fund to eliminate the church's debt;
in order to not hand the debt of building the church to his son's when they
take over. He also had a video discussing yet another fund to build a building
specially equipped for those with developmental disabilities. (A good cause,
but I was already skeptical)
As we sat in the
church, I thought that my wife was on the same page as me, but as I looked
over; she was writing checks. I did not stop her. When we got home, I expressed
my concern with this church and its tactics. She stated that things did not
feel right to her as well, but she felt obligated to give. We decided to
research tithing in the bible, before we continued to give out of obligation
and we prayed to God for clarity.
I read the Bible,
searched the internet, and was still confused on tithing. A few days later, my
wife woke me up saying that she had a dream where the word "Cherub"
was repeated several times. She wanted us to research this, thinking that it
might be a sign from God. (Later, after learning from Brother Ron Knight, we
now know that everything we think is from God, is not from God.) I spent hours
researching cherub and learned a few things, but nothing mind blowing. Well
into researching, I stumbled upon a series of videos titled "A Study of
Angels" by Brother Ron Knight at Twin Cities Grace. I was fascinated by
the chart behind him, and even more fascinated by his clear and thorough
delivery of the Bible. I learned so much truth that I began to watch as many of
his videos as I could. I began to learn Right Division, how Paul is our
Apostle, and received the truth about tithing from watching his videos as well.
One of my biggest
concerns was whether or not my wife would accept the Grace message. Luckily, as
I explained it to her with scriptures in the Bible, and with the help of
Brother Ron Knight's videos, she accepted it into her heart. We have been Grace
believers ever since then.
It was also through
Bro Ron's videos that we heard about this blog. We constantly use this blog to
research topics through the search bar, listen or watch Bro Ron preach, or read
the latest posts. Sorry for the lengthy response, but I enjoy telling this
story.
Grace and Peace,
Bro Steven J.

...from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy 6:3
If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Notice here that
Paul is telling us that the words he preaches and teaches are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. You see, when we [who are mid-Acts,
Pauline doctrine, bible believers that rightly divide the word of truth] say we
listen to Paul the apostle, we are actually saying Paul is his apostle (i.e.,
sent one) but we are listening to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the doctrine
(i.e., compartmentalized teaching) which is in according to godliness.
Godliness is
God-likeness. When God created Adam, he said
let us make man in our image and after our likeness. The image is the outward form. When the Lord Jesus Christ formed Adam from
the dust of the ground, the Lord had a body that consisted of a head, a torso,
arms, and legs, etc. Adam and Eve saw
him and talked with him in the garden in the cool of the day. Angels are spirits, but when they manifest
themselves, they look like men.
Daniel 9:21
Yea, whiles I was
speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision
at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the
evening oblation.
Psalm 104:4
Who maketh his
angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
So that, is the
‘image’ of God. But God didn’t just
create man in his outward image. He
made him in his ‘likeness.’ When you see
that word godliness, it is ‘God likeness.’
What that means is this: you think
like God thinks; you act like God
would act in that situation; and, you labour
with him. The issue of godliness is what
you put in your, spirit—your inner man.
It is Paul’s doctrine [words which the Lord gave to Paul to take to the
gentiles] that we are to store in our inner man.
1 Timothy 6:3
If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is
proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of
men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain
is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
Paul’s doctrine
leads to godliness, it is in accordance and in line with ‘God likeness’; but a
man that teaches otherwise is proud,
knowing nothing! Do you know what ‘destitute means? It’s a man that has nothing, like a bum on
the street, and in this case, a man, proud, knowing nothing, destitute of the truth. If
the church, the body of Christ, a local assembly, is to be the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Timothy
3:15) and they let someone in their pulpit that is destitute of the truth [as
given to Paul], they are not fulfilling their calling, but are supposing that gain [health, wealth,
prosperity] is godliness…from such [ungodliness] withdraw thyself.
…from
such withdraw theyself.
