Re. Interview by Bob Lepine re. "Name Above All Names" Alistair Begg & Sinclair Ferguson

Mr. Lepine,

I listened to your interview with Mr. Begg re the book " Name Above All Names".

I found it interesting when you brought up the subject of Christ not being a benevolent / non democratic ruler in the eyes of men and "christians".

But I found it disappointing that you, and Mr.Begg, did not focus in on the reason for this.

Instead, Mr. Begg framed it in a theological domain. Mr. Begg also,surprisingly, said that he understood why the colonials rebelled against the King of England....but note that Christ said that we are to serve a good or evil king.

Democracy vs Monarchy. Democracy vs Theocrasy. Democracy vs Christ.

What is the belief and way of life of democracy?

....it is self-rule

...it is the belief in freedom of rights...freedom of self-rights

...it also dictates freedom of all lifestyles...even justifying homosexuality

...it also dictates freedom of religion...of all religions....blasphemely and arrogantly saying that it is right to be free to worship any "god" as per one's own "personal" faith.

...it is "freedom".....to be free from the One Will of the One God so as to be free to do one's own will as a "god".

I guess that you and Mr. Begg did not focus in on the true reality because if you did your congregation, friends, family, wives would stand up for their 1st love of freedom and throw rocks at you.

The title of the book speaks the truth..."Name Above All Names"....but it seems to have been written looking at the mirror...for when one walks away from the mirror one "lives" the way of , confesses, and defends his first love....that of freedom.

It is written, and I am sure that you have spoken this "in church", that one is to worship the One Lord God and Him Alone to serve. This applies to us, as true followers of Christ (Son of the One God), NOW in the world outside the "church building"....and not only later in the Kingdom.

Christ said to be a light of truth to the world. To stand for Him and Him Alone. To serve the One Way....obedience and servitude to the One King...in love for the One and Only Creator Yahweh Elohim and to love our neighbor in the righteousness of the One Father.

We are servants...and as a servant we do not have "freedom" to do our will.

Many say that God gave man freedom, free will. If a Master were to give freedom to a servant, the servant would no longer be under the obligation of service nor under the penalty of correction...since the servant is now free to do his own will...and becomes his own master.

...in truth, the one who is the father of "self-freedom" is Satan.

But we are not free from the One God, for we are commanded to do His Will...and there will be a future judgement and punishment for those that reject His Will.

Mr. Lepine, many speak and write about God...in the context of religion....but Christ lived His life in the context of the real world, for which He was rejected, imprisoned, beaten, and killed as one of the criminals.

Christ said that many will embrace, worship, and live by the image which will be seen "as a lamb". That many will willingly receive its mark of devotion on their foreheads. But He also said that this "lamb" image will speak as the dragon.

The dragon denies the preeminence of the One Will of the One God. The dragon believes in self-will...to know ( to establish and justify) good and evil in its own eyes....to be like a god.

Recently President Obama declared in Jerusalem that the story of the passover is that of "freedom". He went on to confess that the will of god is "freedom". President Obama has placed the way of the dragon above the Holy Mountain of the One God... and Israel, and all religions, and all men have applauded him.

M. Lepine , Christ served us and died for us as a GOOD KING . If we do not serve nor stand for Christ Alone, He will not stand for us...for He IS NOW and we are being judged now.
