2:42 Speaker 2: Until I retired, as the Scriptures instruct, I served as the pastor of the congregation in the city of Enumclaw.

3:47 Speaker 2: This aligns with Jesus' practice of organizing groups into fifties.

4:10 Speaker 2: There was nothing to attract individuals to the church other than the truth and love that is from God.

4:16 Speaker 2: He grew up before him like a tender shoot and like a root out of dry ground.

4:22 Speaker 2: He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.

4:44 Speaker 2: Marriages were strengthened, joy filled the home and a sense of purpose, meaning and excitement prevailed.

4:51 Speaker 2: Unless certain family members opposed Jesus, following him can be divisive in a similar way to political views.

5:00 Speaker 2: When others do not seek peace with the church member, it is rare for a whole household to become believers, but it can happen.

6:45 Speaker 2: Yes, and you can view photos of what was destroyed by you here on the site.

6:50 Speaker 2: For you brothers became imitators of God's churches in Judea which are in Christ Jesus.

6:57 Speaker 2: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews, who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out.

7:12 Speaker 2: 9.

7:13 Speaker 2: To start, what is a rebuke?

7:18 Speaker 2: What does it mean in the church context?

7:20 Speaker 2: For more details, please refer to the podcast.

7:27 Speaker 2: A self-righteous judge or prosecutor will view even a mild suggestion of being wrong as a rebuke.

7:33 Speaker 2: Spoiled children always overreact, but for the humble, a rebuke is simply holy dialogue.

7:41 Speaker 2: Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you.

8:07 Speaker 2: Heaven is all about fellowship within God's family, a family where no lies, slurs or gossip is found.

8:14 Speaker 2: To fail to fellowship with the living God here is to forfeit heaven as home.

8:20 Speaker 2: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

8:26 Speaker 2: 2 Corinthians, 13.14 11.

8:32 Speaker 2: While part of Sound Doctrine Church, was it important for you to adhere to its teachings and doctrines?

8:37 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, the teachings of God are not like the legal laws you and Judge Laurie K Smith can ignore, twist and abuse without suffering personal problems.

8:47 Speaker 2: One does not get promoted in Jesus by ignoring God Another duh.

8:54 Speaker 2: Absolutely Following the teachings, preaching and spirit of a church that aims to walk daily with the living God is crucial.

9:02 Speaker 2: It is in the daily fellowship with God where His love, grace, encouragement, hope and power are found.

9:08 Speaker 2: A disciple who stops fellowshipping with God will find his love, power and peace disappearing from their lives Also.

9:17 Speaker 2: See answer 10.

9:18 Speaker 2: So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

9:25 Speaker 2: May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God, our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

9:43 Speaker 2: 12.

9:44 Speaker 2: What was your understanding of the doctrine?

Teachings and Personal Beliefs

9:47 Speaker 2: Did your beliefs stem from the Church's teachings?

9:49 Speaker 2: No, understanding and beliefs came directly from the Holy Spirit, just as the Church taught, lived and preached.

9:57 Speaker 2: No member needed Timothy Williams' teachings as God was directly teaching them.

10:02 Speaker 2: As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you and you do not need anyone to teach you.

10:09 Speaker 2: But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit, just as it has taught you remain in him.

10:18 Speaker 2: 1 John 2.27.

10:22 Speaker 2: 13.

10:23 Speaker 2: Did you have neighborhood friends who were not members of the Sound Doctrine Church?

10:28 Speaker 2: Certainly, if neighborhood friends were comfortable spending time with Christians, then yes.

10:34 Speaker 2: However, washington State has done everything in its power to make such friends impossible.

10:39 Speaker 2: If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

10:45 Speaker 2: Romans 12.18 14.

10:50 Speaker 2: What kind of leadership was present?

10:51 Speaker 2: How was it structured?

10:53 Speaker 2: The structure was Jesus, the Great Shepherd and all members were sheep following him.

10:58 Speaker 2: It was shepherded by slave leadership, characterized by serving as a servant to others.

11:04 Speaker 2: God was in charge and the church functioned through his powerful grace that directed, arranged while he willed, and worked in each individual member of Sound Doctrine Church.

11:16 Speaker 2: But they kept quiet because, on the way they had argued about who was the greatest, sitting down, jesus called the twelve and said If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last and the servant of all.

11:29 Speaker 2: Mark 9, 34 and 35.

11:33 Speaker 2: 15.

11:40 Speaker 2: You mentioned your salvation.

11:41 Speaker 2: Was that significant during your time in Sound Doctrine Church?

11:42 Speaker 2: Duh, of course.

11:43 Speaker 2: This is a church, not a bar.

11:45 Speaker 2: You do understand that, right, mr Simmons.

11:47 Speaker 2: Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

11:52 Speaker 2: Proverbs 4.23, 16.

11:57 Speaker 2: Does the Sound Doctrine Church celebrate birthdays or holidays like Christmas?

Church Practices and Celebrations

12:02 Speaker 2: Not, as you demand.

12:04 Speaker 2: Sound Doctrine Church did not formally celebrate birthdays, though there was a lot of cheating going on.

12:10 Speaker 2: After all, it was not a cult that demanded a strict adherence to every dot, letter and jot of doctrine.

12:17 Speaker 2: Christmas, sound doctrine gave to the poor, engaged in fellowship and prepared for the upcoming year's next celebration of Christmas.

12:25 Speaker 2: It was a truly joyful time.

12:27 Speaker 2: You should have experienced it.

12:29 Speaker 2: Then there are holidays like first fruits, what others call Easter, and so on.

12:35 Speaker 2: The point was to not be polluted by the world in both actions and belief.

12:39 Speaker 2: Religion that God, our Father, accepts as pure and faultless is this to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world James 1.27.

12:52 Speaker 2: Self from being polluted by the world James 1.27 17.

12:55 Speaker 2: Why did you leave Sound Doctrine Church?

Persecution and Departure Reasons

12:57 Speaker 2: I never left the church, never betrayed and never turned my back on Jesus, in spite of your attempts to destroy.

13:06 Speaker 2: As for others, many individuals come and go.

13:09 Speaker 2: It is, after all, a church and not a bar.

13:12 Speaker 2: The church was actively preaching in the community and while some would visit briefly, others realized that living in surrender to the living God was no longer their desire.

13:22 Speaker 2: Some left for trivial reasons, while others succumbed to outside pressures, prioritizing temporary relief over the enduring love of Jesus.

13:32 Speaker 2: One person opted to join the Air Force after watching a Star Wars movie, for example.

13:38 Speaker 2: Others faced persecution, including your prosecution of righteousness, which proved too daunting, leading them away from following Jesus.

13:48 Speaker 2: Best be careful with this question, as many a saint down through history have gone through very difficult times trusting and believing God.

13:56 Speaker 2: Your snake-of-his question has brought serious judgment upon yourself and others.

14:01 Speaker 2: Best to repent, for they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.

14:08 Speaker 2: Charge them with crime upon crime.

14:11 Speaker 2: Do not let them share in your salvation.

14:13 Speaker 2: May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous Psalm 69, 26-28.

14:22 Speaker 2: Let me know if you have any other quick questions about things that are none of Washington State's business.

14:28 Speaker 2: I will take your questions before the living God and see what should be done with your accusations.
