It is heartbreaking to know Hell and the lake of fire are real and that millions of souls will be lost in anguish and despair for eternity… some being people I love… yet they chose to enter eternity without Christ. They were deceived. They did not consider themselves evil sinners in need of Salvation. They did not believe they had an eternal soul. They did not believe morality to be objective reality… they thought life was meaningless atoms. They thought I am a bit naïve to believe Jesus rose from the dead. They certainly did not believe Hell was real or the Bible true. They thought that A Good God could not exist… and hell exist at the same time.
They thought that must be an impossible contradiction.
There are people who will read this and think… “yeah… Those are my thoughts too! Hell can’t be real!…”
These are the greatest errors any thinking person can make.
I know this to be true.
I know God is the righteous Judge.
God is loving, God is gracious, God is forgiving.
Yet God is Just, God has set the terms for receiving salvation. He provided the way… yet to receive the gift of salvation requires Each of us to realise we are sinful and in danger of God’s righteous judgement. Only then can we appreciate the Gospel… that because God loves us he sent Christ to die on the cross for our sins, and that he was buried, yet rose again from the dead in victory over sin and death.
These are historic facts.
God has reached down from heaven to save us… yet we must humble ourselves and admit we need the Cross of Christ, and put our faith in the power of his resurrection.
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I despair for every person who rejects the gospel.
You seal your own fate.
Nothing anyone can do to save you… only Christ.
Let no one say that I never spoke the truth to them on this matter.
This meme (above) was posted by a Christian X Guy.
What follows is my rebuttal
*****
You are way out of line!
You are saying they need exorcism!
Bogus!
Making false memes like this is Demonic.
What’s hypocritical about foolishness like this is this type of thinking comes from types who think their own sins are ‘less wicked’… and that is self-delusion.
I am instantly wary of Preachers who take the ‘Holier than thou’ stance rather than the stance of Grace… such as Paul did when he calls himself the chief of sinners, and confessed to suffering ‘Thorns in the flesh’.
He confessed… “The things I would not do… them I do… ” He found a law… that with The Heart he served the law of God… but with the Flesh… the Law of sin.
For as long as we are in our mortal bodies… sin is with us. Christians who watch Porn… are struggling with their sinful flesh… their ‘Old man’.
*I myself struggle a lot!*
I am not a great Christian.
I am not a Pastor… because I am unworthy.
I do not meet the criteria of holiness.
I openly confess this. If I am anything… I am a Christian who does not try to hide beneath a fake cloak of self-righteousness.
I don’t pretend to be anything other than a struggling Christian blundering my way through this life.
I’m an encourager of all Christians struggling in this world to persevere… to trust in God’s love and grace… do not quit… for in truth Most Christians today are struggling.
This is my testimony.
I do not ‘excuse’ my own sin or the sins of my brothers and sisters… I sympathise with their struggle.
These are more my people than those who claim to be Holy.
There are no scriptures that say Christians in our time can be possessed of devils.
When a person puts their Trust in Christ, the Holy Spirit enters that person and they become *sealed*. They are Saved and eternally secure… Sealed unto the day of Redemption (the Rapture). The Christian is to ‘put on the whole armour of God’… to withstand the attacks of the Devil… such as ‘The Brest plate of Righteousness’. Failure to live a holy life definitely gives the Devil opportunity to stick in his darts … to destroy your testimony… and perhaps even kill you… yet The true Christian *cannot be possessed by Satan or Demons*.,, because of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
When Christians sin… this grieves the Holy Spirit, yet the Christian is never forsaken.
Christians struggling with Porn, Alcohol, etc
need fellowship and encouragement… not condemnation and Exorcism!
You are doing them a great dis-service in my opinion… your false doctrines are more likely to destroy them and drive them away from their faith.
Christian X user asks the question… “Should Porn be allowed on this platform?”
Public nudity in a free and civil society has always been a contentious issue. Even the discussion of Sex is contentious.
As a Libertarian Christian I have defended the rights of Sex workers, and Public parades such as ‘Boobs on Bikes’ from Oppressive Councils and laws that were under pressure to prohibit these things largely from Christian activist lobby groups.
Some people will wonder how as a Christian I might take such a position? I take that position because I believe in a separation of church and state, and I do not like Christianity and the bible being used as a bludgeon to persecute sinners and infidels. I believe that to be absolutely Unchristian, and also a corruption of the Law… and a violation of individual rights.
Many anti-freedom people think that by taking the side of prostitutes that I am endorsing prostitution, yet that is false. I do not want anyone (man or woman) to prostitute themselves, yet that does not mean I therefore should support laws against them.
I believe In liberty.. as a Libertarian Christian we have far more hope of saving people from prostitution if we show love for them rather than hateful oppression. Christians can still work to reduce prostitution via the gospel… which is the true Christian way to battle sin and improve the world…. all under freedom.
Now I said all this here to give context to the question raised above. Porn in Western society may be construed as being anything from showing a nipple… to full on Sex. I personally am not bothered by the former being allowed in public yet would be very bothered by the latter… so even Libertarian Tim thinks there must be a line drawn *somewhere*.
Myself… applying the principle of Equality before the law when supporting ‘Boobs parades in Hamilton’ was that if men are allowed to walk topless down the street so too should woman be lawfully allowed to. Instead of allowing woman to do so, we could instead simply create a new prohibition against men having bare chests…. yet is this the best direction for society… less freedom… more laws/rules/punishments? It’s obvious to me thats the wrong direction to take society… that leads to what is happening in the Islamic world with Burkas and Beard police.
The truth is Christians need to be tolerant of others who do not share *all* the same values and sentiments we do… yet who are still peaceful and civil. Ie seeing a boob on the street you may find offensive (I don’t) but is certainly does not violate any of your rights!
If we were to apply that to social media platforms and boobs were allowed… then anyone offended by it could scroll past that post… and even block the sender of the post…. thereby *self policing* their own content without imposing their views on others. And this is how a free and civil society really works. Tolerance… and Individuals taking responsibility for their own moral standards rather than expecting the government to act like the Taliban.
X could set up an ‘R18’ tab (maybe they already do) and users could click that tab to prevent any R18 content appearing in their feed. They probably already do this… I’m not sure. I’m fairly certain most x users don’t want explicit porn turning up in their feed, yet I’m sure the odd boob pick from a chick on the back of a motor cycle does not bother too many people????
Ultimately such questions are for the Platforms themselves to figure out… yet if they get it wrong It would impact on their User satisfaction and cause people to leave. Lets say X allowed nudity yet not explicit sex acts… at first some millions who cant handle the sight of a boob to leave. That would be an expected cost. yet eventually those numbers would recover and users would just take such stuff in their stride like adults. And personally speaking I think that is progress… an escape from the petty legalistic prudish attitudes that still support Legal oppression under the guise of Christian virtue.
If nudity was allowed on X that would not mean Christians could no longer maintain their own virtues. They might face more ‘temptation’… yet it would be up to them to overcome that as all Christian ought. Ironically It’s the more Pious types that have the most problem when confronted with a boob! Everyone else just laughs… or scrolls past.
Maxwell Joseph Davies.
19 Nov 1948 to 6 August 2024.
After a period of illness, on Friday 9 August 2024 family and friends laid Maxwell Joseph Davies to rest at Pyes Pa Cemetery.
Plot 80.
I had the honour of being asked by Max’s family to direct Max’s funeral service, and to deliver a short gospel message before Max’s body was carried out to his final resting place.
To some attendees my short Christian message was probably seen as a superfluous 5-10 minutes to be endured rather than as anything important, yet for Reawyn, *And Max* his funeral was an opportunity not to be missed… to declare the truth about Jesus Christ and the Bible.
Far from being silly superstitions… Max’s and fam’s faith is founded upon solid ground, and the Gospel message contains their highest values as they know how essential it is for every human being to come to a saving knowledge of why Jesus Christ voluntarily submitted to death on the Cross.
They were especially desirous for their close family and friends to know the love of God so that they might be saved from God’s Judgement for their sins… should the light of truth dawn in their hearts.
On this score… the Davies have proven their love, and faithfully fulfilled their Christian moral duty.
Make no mistake… Heaven and Hell are for real!
Whatever the future holds for each person who attended Max’s funeral, let it never be said the Davies failed to warn their loved ones about the impending Judgement of the Almighty and the simple way God has provided for us all to be forgiven and made holy, so that we can spend eternity together in his presence.
Let he that hath an ear to hear… let them hear.
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
Paul The Apostle to the Gentiles. (Corinthians 1vs 18-21)
God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us
Romans 5vs8
It was an honour to be asked to deliver these vital truths to the people Max held so dearly.
I did my best with the short time I had to prepare, and tried to balance the importance of what needed to be said, without too much imposition upon the occasion.
My intention being to write a tribute of more substance to Max’s faith to be put online as a memorial… hence this which is before you now.
I was asked by Reawyn and Fam to perform these rites… to bless her home, etc as more than 3 decades ago, I had the pleasure of Leading a bible study at Max and Reawyn’s home in Payne st Judea.
What a fruitful little fellowship that was!
The Word of God found fertile soil there and Max and Reawyn’s faith grew strong… and enduring… transforming them into Bible believing… Grace preaching… Dispensational… Christians.
From that time onwards Max was no longer simply ‘a family man’ and a Builder…. he became ‘A soldier for Christ’… Max’s life became imbued with Divine strength and purpose.
God gave Max and family the fortitude to endure hardship, and to take pleasure in the simple things of life… esp family.
Max truly was a powerful and Godly Christian Warrior!
He was a beacon of light… Mighty with the Sword of the Spirit (The word of God).
Max was anything but a stereotypical Christian! He always was and remained to the end of his life… A Bougan… A Pakeha Maori, He loved a beer and a good yarn.
Unlike so many phony Pharisaic type churchmen… full of ‘Spiritual pride’… who preach Moral Legalism.. and posture with fake self-righteousness… mishandling the scripture and teaching false doctrines of works, and who don’t even believe the bibles they hold in their hands… Max was the antithesis of all those things! He was a preacher of *genuine Christian truths*… of Humility, of grace, and of faith in the trustworthiness of the King James Bible… in spite of our own shortcomings.
He knew and preached the true Gospel of God’s grace given to us via God’s Apostle Paul. Its a tragic reality that a majority of Christians in the world today don’t even understand these basic essentials.
Max did.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God. A workman that needeth not to be ashamed… Rightly dividing the word of truth…”
2 Timothy 2vs 15.
There may be thousands of Christians and churches in New Zealand, yet sadly most of them wallow in False doctrine… and don’t properly understand the Gospel.
Very few indeed truly understand the scriptures to the degree that Max did.
He really was a beacon of light as he appealed to everyone he met to stop walking in darkness and embrace the Bible!
Max would extoll you to trust the King James Authorised version of the Bible… As God’s inspired and preserved revelation to us… The final authority in all matters of Faith and conduct.
Max lived a quiet life and received little credit for his labours for Humanity and God. No honours (except from his immediate circle) No fame.
Despite living in virtual obscurity It is my testimony to declare that when Maxwell Joseph Davies passed away Tauranga and New Zealand lost one of our Greatest Christians.
He lived a good life, and it is in recognition of His stature as a real Bible believing Christian that I write this tribute.
Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.
The same week Max passed away Lead vocalist of the 70s Rock Band Led Zeppelin Robert Plant turned 76… making him virtually the same age as Max… His age difference being 3mths.
You may be wondering why I mention Robert Plant in my tribute to Max Davies? Well, It has to do with the question…. What is a Good life? What is real Success?
Most people reading this know Robert Plant is ‘Rock Royalty’… having achieved ‘Legendary’ status… Living a life of fame and fortune… yet we also know the sands of time sooner or later run out for us all.
Robert Plant will eventually go to his grave with millions of adoring Fans paying him tribute… and by many people’s estimation Robert Plant has Lived Life to it’s fullest. Literally millions of Fans would loved to have walked in his shoes … Yet will any of that Fame and Glory matter when Robert Plant goes to meet his Maker?
In the final tally… when we each give account for ourselves before God Almighty do you really think all the fame and fortune will be deemed to have eternal glory?
No.
“For What profit a man though he should gain the whole world yet lose his own soul?”
Mark 8vs 36.
You see it is when we stand before God Almighty and our lives and deeds are (metaphorically speaking) weighed in his scale… that’s when the true value of things will be known. Do you expect God to use the same judgement as this lost world measures success?
To believe that is to be foolish indeed!
“…Behold, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding” Job 28vs28
If then we use God’s yardstick to measure what a Good and successful life is I contend that despite Max’s humble existence… in the final tally… God will find his works and his faith are of far greater eternal value than all Robert Plant’s so-called ‘Fabulous life of Earthy success’.
We Christians do not serve the Lord in expectation of wealth or Fame, but out of our love and gratitude to the Lord for what he has done for us, and from our compassion for our fellow man… We have a message of hope and salvation for all who wander lost in darkness and sin… “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever should believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3vs16
In Christian virtue and by God’s metrics Max died a success!
Max died a truly wealthy man in the things that really matter!
Max left this life beloved by his wife and Children, with many friends, and well respected as a tradesman.
Max… as Head of his house was able to instill in his children that life has real meaning and purpose.
He taught them that via faith in Christ not sin… nor even death can defeat the Christian.
Max taught his children with certainty that though they may be separated by death for a short while… to carry on and live their lives to the fullest… fulfilling their God-given purpose… and when their time arrives… to face death with peace and hope trusting in God’s grace and goodness.
In death the Christian is received by Christ.
Video (Above) In Death Paul the Apostle meets his loved ones in heaven…. and Jesus!
Reywyn and Family…. May your faith be an unfailing source of strength! Rest in the certainty that you shall be reunited with Max… for this is the promise and great hope of the Gospel!
This is our great hope.
Death can not eternally separate us who believe!
This is not my opinion… its what’s written in God’s Holy bible!
Amen.
What a tragedy it is for any person to go though life thinking it is pointless and meaningless!
What a tragedy to face death without hope!
Especially given the fact that *Atheism is a delusion!* The Bible say’s ‘The Fool hath said in his heart there is no God!”. (Psalm 14vs1)
When the Atheist stands before the judgement seat of the Almighty… then they will realise just how foolish their atheism was… and how their Heart and mind were darkened… but by then their fate is sealed. They chose to enter Eternity unrepentant of their sins… they spurned the sacrifice of Christ.
Max was not a perfect Christian, very much like myself Max had his vices and struggles. We are well aware of our shortcomings. These faults cause us to rely wholly on God’s grace. Thankfully We know we have been made free from the Law… by Christ, and that despite our own failures to live godly lives, we trust in the Cross, and in God’s love, mercy,
‘And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:’
Pil 3vs9
‘Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:’
Galatians 3 vs 13
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians 5
For by grace are ye saved: through faith. and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God.
Not of works lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2vs8,9
It has taken me a month to write this tribute because I feared not doing justice to Max’s memory.
I realise my chief difficulty comes from the fact that though I have many dear Non-Christian friends, I have far less dear Christian ones… and very few indeed as dear to me and as close to me as Max was… and I have suffered a great personal loss with his passing. He was (and indeed still is) one of my closest brothers in Christ…
Rest in Pease my friend…. Until we meet again!
Much Love and respect my Brother!
My one regret is that I allowed far too many years to pass without visiting you.
Sorry Bro.

P.S I hope Robert Plant knows the only true ‘stairway to heaven’ is the Cross of Jesus Christ!
It’s not for sale… you can’t buy your way into heaven yet don’t be sad!
God’s Gift of salvation is *FREE* to anyone who believes the gospel that God sent Christ to die for our sins, and that he rose again from the dead in victory over sin and death, and whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!

Real-Time Self-Assembly of Stereomicroscopically Visible Artificial Constructions in Incubated Specimens of mRNA Products Mainly from Pfizer and Moderna: A Comprehensive Longitudinal Study

Our observations suggest the presence of some kind of nanotechnology in the COVID-19 injectables.

Observable real-time injuries at the cellular level in recipients of the “safe and effective” COVID-19 injectables are documented here for the first time,
with the presentation of a comprehensive description and analysis of observed phenomena.
The global administration of these often-mandated products from late 2020 triggered a plethora of independent research studies of the modified RNA injectable gene therapies,
most notably those manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna.
Analyses reported here consist of precise laboratory “bench science” aiming to understand why serious debilitating, prolonged injuries (and many deaths) occurred increasingly without any measurable protective effect
The contents of COVID-19 injectables were examined under a stereomicroscope at up to 400X magnification.
Carefully preserved specimens were cultured in a range of distinct media to observe immediate and long-term cause-and-effect relationships between the injectables and living cells under carefully controlled conditions.
From such research, reasonable inferences can be drawn about observed injuries worldwide that have occurred since the injectables were pressed upon billions of individuals.
In addition to cellular toxicity, our findings reveal numerous — on the order of 3~4 x 106 per milliliter of the injectable
— visible artificial self-assembling entities ranging from about 1 to 100 µm, or greater, of many different shapes.
There were animated worm-like entities,
discs, chains, spirals, tubes,
right-angle structures containing other artificial entities within them
All these are exceedingly beyond any expected and acceptable levels of contamination of the COVID-19 injectables,
and incubation studies revealed the progressive self-assembly of many artifactual structures.
As time progressed during incubation, simple one- and two-dimensional structures over two or three weeks became more complex in shape and size developing into stereoscopically visible entities in three-dimensions.
They resembled carbon nanotube filaments, ribbons, and tapes,
some appearing as transparent, thin, flat membranes,
and others as three-dimensional spirals, and beaded chains.
Some of these seemed to appear and then disappear over time.
Our observations suggest the presence of some kind of nanotechnology in the COVID-19 injectables.

Looking forward to the countdown!
Below are some links to Blog articles I’ve written about the Rock 2000 and other stuff… including 2020 when I won VIP tickets etc to the Live Rock Countdown and Concert at Victor Arena headlining Devil Skin… thanks to Sponsors Carlsburg Beer!
