Open Letter From Gary King
October 1, 1998
To all who have ears to
hear:
Greetings in the name of
Jesus Christ the Lord.
I would hope that this
letter finds you well and prospering in the truth that is in Jesus Christ.
I'm writing this letter
in hopes that God would open your eyes to see that as long as you are in the
Gospel Assembly Church fellowship around the world, you are in error. Your
leaders are leading you into death and darkness.
Isaiah 3:12 As for my
people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people,
they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy
the way of thy paths.
Isaiah 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that
are led of them are destroyed.
Matthew 15:12-14 Then came his disciples, and said
unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were
offended, after they heard this saying? [13] But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up. [14] Let them alone: they be
blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall
into the ditch.
Matthew 23:16-17 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of
the temple, he is a debtor! [17] Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth
the gold?
Matthew 23:19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is
greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth
the gift?
Matthew 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup
and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Luke 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the
blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into
the ditch?
Paul and Barnabas tried
to turn people but they refused the truth of the word of God so they turned
from them to help those who wanted the truth.
Acts 13:44-48
And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word
of God. [45] But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with
envy, and spake against those things which were
spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. [46] Then Paul and Barnabas
waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have
been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
[47] For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light
of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. [48] And when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were
ordained to eternal life believed.
Again, Paul tried to
reason with Felix to save him but failed. Only God's mercy can open a
person's eyes.
Acts 17:2
And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three Sabbath days
reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Acts 18:4
And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and
the Greeks.
Acts 18:19
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the
synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Acts 24:25
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come Felix
trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient
season, I will call for thee.
Isaiah 1:16-20
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine
eyes; cease to do evil; [17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the
oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. [18] Come now, and let
us reason together, saith the LORD: though your
sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool. [19] If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall
eat the good of the land: [20] But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be
devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and
hast revealed them unto babes.
It appears to me that
men and women have been deceived into believing that they don't have to
reason with the word of God.
2 Thess. 3:1-3 Finally,
brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be
glorified, even as it is with you: [2] And that we may be delivered from
unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. [3] But the Lord is
faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from
evil.
I have written letters
and asked for council from men who should know the reason of things.
Job 13:6
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Job 32:8-12
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. [9] Great men are not always
wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. [10] Therefore I said, Hearken
to me; I also will shew mine opinion. [11] Behold,
I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out
what to say. [12] Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of
you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
Eccles. 2:13
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as
light excelleth darkness.
Eccles. 7:25
I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the
reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness
and madness:
No one seems to want to
reason or meet with us in Des Moines to reason through the situation that
exists in the Des Moines assembly. Why? Are you afraid of the truth? What you
don't face here, you will have to face at the great white throne judgment.
I would like nothing
better than for ministers to come to Des Moines and meet with us and if we are
wrong to show us the error of our ways or convince us of our sin.
John 8:40
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have
heard of God: this did not Abraham.
John 8:45-46
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. [46] Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye
not believe me?
Even Jesus asked people
to do that with him. Since up to this time, there has been no sincere inquiry
made to meet with us to try and work out everything, we must conclude that
there never will be.
Before God and from my
heart, I will still plead with souls locked into mystery Babylon, even though
they don't know it.
Please consider what I
have to say. Even if you don't consider it, my hands will be free from your
blood in that day when God shall judge all men by his word. You will not be
able to say that no one tried to help you or turn you from the error of your
way.
James 5:19-20
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; [20] Let
him know, that he which converteth the sinner from
the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude
of sins.
Acts 20:26
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all
men.
It's just that you did
not want to listen or think for yourselves but were willing to let others do
your thinking for you. You just accepted their thoughts as gospel and never
proved it out to see if it was true.
2 Tim. 2:17
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus
and Philetus;
So, please come out of
that fellowship and come into the fellowship of His son and reestablish your
relationship to him and not man. For we are going to stand before the judgement seat of Christ and not man.
I hopefully await your
reply and will still reason with any man, woman or child concerning anything
they want to talk about.
Consider what I say and
the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Again, awake thou that
sleepest and arise from the dead and Christ shall give you light.
Ephes. 4:14-15
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [15] But speaking the truth in love, may
grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephes. 5:13-16
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light. [14] Wherefore he saith,
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. [15] See then
that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, [16] Redeeming the
time, because the days are evil.
The only way to grow up
into Christ is to tell the truth about men who in Verse 14 use sleight of men
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. Verse 15 shows
to tell the truth in love that they may grow into him. If you don't start
telling, the truth you will never grow up into him. I have exposed men and
told the truth in love for I want to see you all saved and delivered from the
snare of the devil.
2 Tim. 2:24-26
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt
to teach, patient, [25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the
truth; [26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the
devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
So that they may be
brought back to serve the living God.
Incidentally the
scripture "speak evil of no man" has been falsely used.
Titus 3:2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness
unto all men.
Paul in Titus 1:9-16 especially
verse 12 calls men evil beasts? Was this not according to past teaching
speaking evil of men? Ananias in Acts 9:10-15 tells Jesus in verse 13 how
much evil Paul did to your people at Jerusalem and ,
he heard it from many. Paul was the talk of the city, because of the evil
done to them by Paul. Jesus never reproved Ananias for it either, just told
him to go his way. Again, Paul told Timothy in II Tim 4:14-15, even called
his name, "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil of whom be thou ware
also." He even warned Timothy about him and said that the Lord will
reward men for their evil done to the people of God as I have and will warn
you about our former leaders who have hurt the people of God very badly. No!
To speak evil of a man or woman means you make it up and it's not even true
but it's bearing false witness. We have many witnesses that are true if you
would care to listen to them. If not, you will have been warned.
Romans 16:17-18
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. [18] For they
that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by
good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Col. 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that
we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
1 Thes. 5:14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the
feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
My home is open to any
who would come in peace. My phone is open to any who would call in peace.
I would request that
this letter be read before all of the congregation
of the people of God.
Sincerely,
Gary D. King
