Portions of Arnold Murray’s teachings include a very subtle form of racism, which his followers seem completely blind to. He teaches that the real Israelites came over the Caucus Mountains and became the Caucasians, eventually spreading to Brittan, America, and Canada. That’s not the racist part. The part that is racist is his take on the real Jews that are in Israel now. He believes that they are “Kenites”. According to Arnold Murray, Kenites descended from Cain, who is the son of the Devil. He is in fact teaching that the entire real Jewish race descended from Satan. Hitler also held this same belief and we saw how that turned out.

Further proof of Murray’s racist background can be found on his website. While reading his “Answer To Critics”, I ran across the following quote which comes directly from his website: “I have never claimed to have received a doctorate from Roy Gillaspie. I do not know where some of these “researchers” came up with this. Roy Gillaspie was simply a beloved teacher of God’s Word and I have never said or implied any such thing.” Murray is very clever with his words, while he mentions that he never claimed to have received a doctorate from Gillaspie, he also DOES NOT deny it. He could have just plainly stated whether he did or not, but he avoided the question completely. Why is this important?

Who Is Roy Gillaspie?

I decided to look up Roy Gillaspie since Murray’s website refers to him as “a beloved teacher of God’s Word.” The following information about Gillaspie was gleaned from several websites:

“Roy E. Gillaspie was a minister for the Soldiers of the Cross and served as pastor of the Church of Jesus Christ in Bellflower, California. He taught Anglo-Israel theology and was head of the Open Bible Foundation. Gillaspie had close ties to the Christian Nationalist Party,  and he was the advisor for the Christian Defense League.” – The White Report

There are actually two Soldiers of The Cross Organizations. One that separates itself from both Murray and Gillaspie and another that trains Christian Identity leaders. The Christian Identity doctrine is well known as being very racist. Here is a brief list of the Christian Identity doctrine:

  • Europeans are the true Israelites.
  • Modern Jews are the seed of Satan.
  • Adam and Eve only gave birth to the white race.
  • All other races were created separate from Adam and Eve.
  • Only the white race has a s soul.

Let’s stop right there because Murray teaches all of the above. The last point he teaches in a very subtle form. The Bible is clear that Noah took “two of every kind on the ark”. Murray believes that this includes other races. However, according to 1 Peter 3:20, only eight souls were saved. Murray considers these souls to be Noah and his family (white males and females), which by the very nature of the doctrine means that the other races are not referred to as souls and are grouped with the beasts that were saved. That’s why it is so important to listen to exactly what is being said by the person claiming to teach the word of God.

Were the sons of God really fallen angels or just disobedient descendants of Seth, and did Jesus prophesy their return in the Olivet Discourse? - Enter Your Email Address Below.

In conclusion, Murray admits that Gillaspie was “a beloved teacher of God’s Word.” Gillaspie held Christian Identity beliefs. Those beliefs consist of many racist views, but I’ve only listed five above, several more are:

  • Only whites were created in the image of God.
  • Interracial marriage is a sin against God.
  • Jews are genetically programmed to oppress Europeans.
  • Armageddon will consist of a race war against the Jews in Israel.

If Arnold Murray is not a racist, why does he refer to a racist as “a beloved teacher of God’s Word” and in addition, teach many of Gillaspie’s racist doctrines? I also want to point out that the above nine points cannot be backed by the Bible. In fact, they are in complete opposition to God’s word. I encourage anyone not following Murray to stay away from him and anyone that is following Murray to do some research and realize exactly who they are following.

If you know someone being affected by Murray and the false teachings coming from Shepherd’s Chapel, please share this series with them. If you run across a Murray disciple, feel free to see for yourself if what I say is true. Ask them about Ezekiel 13 and see if they quote Murray or if they quote scripture. Disagree with them enough to see if they mention “casting pearls before swine.” Shepherd’s Chapel is a cult and has exhibited extreme mind control over people that follow it. Do not be deceived by Murray’s claim to teach chapter by chapter and verse by verse. Anyone can read the Bible themselves. Below are resources for those that do not want to be deceived by this cult.

Arnold Murray and The Shepherd’s Chapel Deception – Part 1

Shepherd’s Chapel students are in denial that they have been brainwashed into a cult. What I’ve found is that they don’t actually check the Bible and they definitely won’t question Arnold Murray, even if they make the claim that they do. They also verbally attack anyone that does decide to question their false god, Arnold Murray. This part in the series will let you know if you are dealing with a Shepherd’s Chapel disciple. I can post these signs because they have all been brainwashed to provide the same exact responses.

  • #1: They will quote Arnold Murray word for word, but will rarely quote scripture. Here is an example of one such quote: “I am against those that teach my children to fly to safety.” This is Arnold Murray’s paraphrase of Ezekiel 13:20. Here is what the actual scripture says so you can compare it to Murray’s paraphrase.

“Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.” – Ezekiel 13:20

Later in this series I’ll go deeper into the problems of Murray’s interpretation of this verse, but for now, just look at how he misquotes and misrepresents the actual verse.

  • #2: When challenged on their beliefs and asked to present a Bible verse, Murray disciples have been brainwashed to avoid the question and  mention “casting their pearls before swine.” They want people to believe without question and their only recourse is to end the conversation if you do question. This is a typical cult tactic.
  • #3: Murray disciples are taught a twisted interpretation of scripture. Murray encourages his disciples to “check the manuscripts”. By this he means the Strong’s Concordance, but many of them don’t actually do it. In a later part in the series, I’ll get into Murray’s false interpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and his lack of use of the Strong’s Concordance to interpret this verse. Another problem is that Murray pulls his interpretation of what happened in the garden of Eden from the Targum of Pseudo (false) Jonathan. This Targum is merely an opinion of how scripture should be interpreted as metaphor, but it is not actual scripture as Murray teaches it.
  • #4: Even when Murray is proven to be a liar and in opposition to the Bible, his disciples have been brainwashed to defend his beliefs. One such occurrence is Genesis 4:1 which is clear that Adam and Eve had sex outside of the garden, which led to the birth of Cain. Murray insists that both Adam and Eve had sex with Satan inside the garden, which led to the birth of Cain. He is essentially calling the Holy Spirit and the Bible a liar. I cover this false teaching thoroughly in my book, The Serpent Seed: Debunked. I’ll go deeper into other teachings from Murray that are in opposition to the Bible.

  • #5: Perhaps the most ridiculous assertion that his brainwashed students put forth is the accusation that you are a Kenite or Serpent Seed if you don’t agree with them. This means that you are the descendant of Satan and “doing the work of your father the Devil” as they put it. This is another cult tactic. Nobody wants to be called the descendant of Satan, so they don’t dare stray from Murray’s flock. It is complete nonsense. If anybody is doing the work of Satan, it is Murray and his followers. Do not be deceived by this tactic. All cults use it in some form or another.
  • #6: My final point for this post is that if you point out Murray’s teaching, they will claim that you don’t actually watch or listen to him. I’ve watch and listen to him for years. It has always sounded like completely false teaching to me. Many people have pointed out the same, but it doesn’t stop them from making the false accusation about anyone that doesn’t accept their non-Biblical teachings. Stay far away from this cult.

Why Don’t They Know Better

Part of the reason that Murray disciples won’t admit to his false teachings is pride. They then have to admit that they were deceived into following a false teacher with false doctrine. Many people would like to think they are above deception, which means they won’t admit to being deceived until it is too late. Acts 17:11 shows us that not even Paul was above suspicion or being questioned. It doesn’t matter how convincing someone sounds, you need to check behind them every single time, and that includes me.

Targum of Pseudo Jonathan

Today I felt moved to post a study on the Targum of Jonathan. Since I started posting these anti Serpent Seed articles, I’ve received messages from a lot of people asking me about this Targum. The following is what I’ve dug up about this Targum so far.

Please visit www.ministerfortson.com/serpentseed for more videos and articles on Serpent Seed.

The Definition of Targum

Much of the Serpent Seed Theory is derived from the Targum of Pseudo Jonathan, which for some strange reason they regard as equal to scripture. Many of you have probably heard the word Targum but may not understand exactly what a Targum is. Here is the definition of Targum:

  • “An Aramaic translation, usually in the form of an expanded paraphrase, of various books or sections of the Old Testament.” – Dictionary.com (Hebrew Definition)

A Targum is not a literal translation as the definition clearly shows. As you probably know, paraphrases vary from person to person, depending on how they choose to interpret what they read or heard. It essentially becomes more of an ancient Old Testament commentary than actual scripture.

The Definition of Pseudo

The next word we need to understand is the word PSEUDO. This is a very important word because it sheds light on what this Targum is all about. It is the same word from which we get the terms: pseudonym and pseudochrist.

  • “Not actually but having the appearance of; pretended; false or spurious; sham. Almost, approaching, or trying to be.” – Dictionary.com

Several words should have leaped out at you: PRETENDED, FALSE, SPURIOUS, SHAM. This appears right in the title of this Targum which is a good indicator that everything is not what it appears.

Finally, we need to look at the difference between FALSE JONATHAN and REAL JONATHAN. Both of them wrote Targums, but only one is regarded as legitimate.

The False Jonathan

The translation of this Targum is based mostly on the Midrash Rabbah and Talmud. The Talmud is regarded by some to be ABOVE the word of God (Torah). This also explains why Serpent Seed users will quote this Targum instead of quoting the word of God. If we pay attention, we also notice that when the Targum of False Jonathan and the Bible disagree, Serpent Seed believers will cling to Jonathan and dismiss the word of God. If you don’t know what the Talmud teaches, I strongly encourage you to check it out. Why exactly are Serpent Seed believers clinging to a Targum that has its origin in teachings that claim to be above the word of God? It sounds remotely close to what Satan was trying to accomplish:

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” – Isaiah 14:12-14

The Real Jonathan

The real Targum of Jonathan was written by Jonathan ben Uziel. He was believed to be a student of Hillel, one of the people responsible for the writing of the Talmud. The real Jonathan only provides commentary on the Old Testament prophets and doesn’t contain a single mention of the story in Genesis 3. This false Targum is also said to contain many Aggadic teachings.  If you don’t know what those are, please click here.

When Was It Written

Because Serpent Seed believers refer to FALSE JONATHAN as if it’s Old Testament scripture, it is important to point out that this Targum is much younger than the New Testament (no that’s not a typo.) Most historians believe that this Targum was written around 8th – 15th century A.D. That’s 800 – 1,500 years after Christ walked the earth. This is clearly not the ancient evidence that Serpent Seed believers believe it to be, but they don’t bother to research what they are putting their faith in.

What Does It Teach

Let’s look at a couple of verses from the Targum of False Jonathan and see how it compares to the actual word of God.

“And the woman saw Sammael, the angel of death, and she was afraid and knew that the tree was good for food, and that it was a remedy for the enlightenment of the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise. She took of its fruit and ate and also gave (it) to her husband and he ate.” – Targum, pseudo-Jonathan on Gen 3:6

“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” – Genesis 3:6 KJV

Both of these text seem to agree that the tree was good for FOOD, which I’m still not sure how Serpent Seed believers overlook that part of scripture. The Targum inserts Sammael where he does not appear in the Bible. It also says Eve as afraid. I’m still trying to figure out why she would continue doing what she was doing if she was afraid. Did hunger really override her fear when she was in a garden full of food? No, it doesn’t make any sense.

“And Adam knew that his wife Eve had conceived from Sammael the angel (of death) and she became pregnant and bore Cain. And he was like those on high and not like those below. And she said:  ”I have got a man from the angel of the LORD.” – Targum, pseudo-Jonathan on Gen 4:1

  • “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.” – Genesis 4:1 KJV

Notice again the addition to scripture. Look how much longer the Targum of False Jonathan is compared to the word of God. Here are a few questions that I have:

  • How did Adam know Eve was pregnant by Sammael if Cain and Abel were twins as Serpent Seed teaches?
  • Why did they change scripture to say “angel of the Lord” instead of just Lord?
  • Why does the Bible say that Eve conceived Cain outside of the garden, but the Targum claims it happened inside?
  • Why isn’t Cain referred to as a Nephilim if he is part angel?
  • Why does God put a mark of protection on Cain, in Genesis 4, if he was a Nephilim?

What Serpent Seed believers don’t seem to understand is that this Targum is only False Jonathan’s INTERPRETATION of Genesis 3 and not actual scripture. Unfortunately, they teach it as if it is indisputable fact when it is nothing more than opinion.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 7:15-21

The 7 Fruits of The Serpent Seed Theory

Since I started my anti Serpent Seed campaign, I’ve been emailed by tons of people that believe this Satanic doctrine. The following list is based on my own interaction with them, YouTube videos, and Serpent Seed websites. Speaking of websites, I just started a brand new website for everyone that wants to research what Serpent Seed is truly about. The website is complete with articles, links to outside sources, and video evidence of how hateful and destructive this theory is.

Serpent Seed: Debunked – Website (click the link to visit the new site)

#1: Non Biblical – Followers of Arnold Murray claim that he only teaches chapter by chapter and verse by verse, yet when I ask for the chapter and verse that explains the Serpent Seed Theory, they can never seem to provide it. I don’t need the doctrine of men (Arnold Murray). I want to read it in the Word of God for myself. Any doctrine that can’t be read plainly in the Bible is not Biblical, period.

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” – Acts 17:11

#2: Anti Biblical – I’ve had some of them tell me that the Bible can’t be trusted so we should ignore all the parts that don’t line up with Serpent Seed Theory. They claim that Cain is not in Adam’s genealogy, but it appears in Genesis 4, starting with Adam. Seth was born when Adam is 130 so there is no reason for Cain’s genealogy to be repeated in Genesis 5. It makes no sense at all. I’d also like them to show me chapter by chapter and verse by verse how Cain’s line survives the flood. Anybody that tells you that you can’t trust the Bible, but you can trust their doctrine of men is a liar and a deceiver.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” – 2 Timothy 3:16

#3: Racism – The Black Israelites teach that all white men are from Satan. Christian Identity teaches that all black men are from Satan. All of these racists agree that Jews are from Satan. What we have is everybody calling everyone else the Serpent Seed, with the main focus on the Jews. I’d love to hear what Jesus has to say about all this since I don’t recall Him teaching any of it. Jesus didn’t teach racism or hatred, which is proof that this doctrine is not of God.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” – Matthew 5:43-44

#4: False Witness – As with most cults, believers in this theory are BRAINWASHED into believing that anyone that doesn’t follow this false and satanic doctrine must be Serpent Seed. Where can I find that in the Bible? Keep in mind that Jesus was once accused of casting out demons by using the power of Beelzebub (Matthew 12:24), so don’t be surprised when Serpent Seed believers falsely accuse you. Their entire theory is based on accusations against the brethren. Satan is called the accuser and guess what he does day and night according to the Word of God.

“It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?” – Matthew 10:25

#5: Blasphemy – Many of them make the claim that the Word of God is not enough and it has been tampered with. The Bible tells us that ALL (not some) scripture was written when men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). Pay close attention to Serpent Seed believers when they talk, and you’ll notice that they make many remarks about the Bible not being true, while upholding their Satanic doctrine of hatred. It is blasphemy to call the Holy Spirit a liar in favor of holding onto a false belief.

“But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.” – Mark 3:29

“And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.” – Luke 12:10

#6: Salvation Issue – Believing Serpent Seed is not a salvation issue even though they act as if it is. The Bible does not say that we have to be racist, display hatred, or make false accusations to get into heaven. You don’t have to believe Serpent Seed to be a child of God. If we believe in Christ, we become adopted sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:15). If you believe in Christ and a Serpent Seed believer calls you a child of Satan for not believing their false doctrine, it makes them guilty of lying and bearing false witness.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” – Romans 10:13

#7: Lack of Truth – They claim that if you don’t believe them then you haven’t made up your own mind or haven’t done the research, which is another cult brainwashing tactic. I challenge you to search the Word of God and see if you can find the book, chapter and verse that says Eve and Lucifer had sex or Lucifer is Cain’s father. The Bible says that God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). If there is any truth to this theory, we should be able to find it in the Bible without making up our own interpretation to fit the Eden story.

“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” – 2 Timothy 3:7

A Prediction Of Responses

I usually don’t bother to post the Serpent Seed responses since they usually contain insults to believers, but most of all aren’t backed by any actual scripture. Before I receive a single response, I’m going to predict the following about the Serpent Seed responses:

  • They will not provide a clear scripture that supports their theory.
  • They will have to provide their own interpretation for anyone to believe it.
  • They will insult and accuse anyone that doesn’t agree with them.
  • They will make racist remarks about certain groups of people.

They have been brainwashed to respond in the above way. If you are a Serpent Seed believer and find yourself wanting to respond with any of the above, ask yourself, “if I’m not brainwashed, how did he know my response before I made it?” It’s not a revelation from God, just a list of how most cult members respond to opposition.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 7:15-21

The Truth About Serpent Seed – Part 4

Before I jump into today’s lesson on the consequences of Serpent Seed Theology, I want to thank Georgia, the hose of the Biblical Hebrews radio show for proving my point once again. I previously wrote that those that teach Serpent Seed Theology have no problems making false accusations about people in order to hold on to their beliefs. Lately Georgia has been LYING to her audience by telling them that I believe in Replacement Theology (another non-Biblical lie). For the record, I do not and have not ever believed in Replacement Theology. I guess Georgia needs something to talk about to get people to listen to her racist show. Now let’s talk about the consequences of Serpent Seed Theology.

“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” – Revelation 2:9

This is the letter written to the CHURCH of Smyrna. In The last post in this series, The Truth About Serpent Seed – Part 3, I talked about it being blasphemy for anyone to claim to be a Jew while not actually being one. This is confirmed by the above verse.

There is a reason that I underlined the word CHURCH. People that practice Judaism don’t usually go to CHURCH, they go to the Synagogue. Christ died so that both Jews and Gentiles could attain salvation through His sacrifice, so why would any true believer be concerned about their own ethnicity if they are saved through the grace of Christ? I’ll come back to that question shortly. These letters were a warning to those within the CHURCH (believers in Christ). Currently there are only two doctrines within the CHURCH in which people claim to be Jews:

  1. Serpent Seed Theology
  2. Replacement Theology

Both of these doctrines are absolutely false. Jesus’ warning wasn’t just to the CHURCHES in the time of John, but they transcend into our time. Both of these theories usually run on the premise that if you believe these doctrines you are a real Jew and anyone that doesn’t believe is not a real Jew. Serpent Seed takes it a step farther by making the claim that if you don’t believe it you must be descended from Satan. Is it just a coincidence that Jesus warned us about people in the CHURCH claiming to be Jews and we currently have two doctrines that make that exact claim? I don’t think so by a long shot.

“Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” – Matthew 12:31

For someone to make the claim that they are a Jew is indeed blasphemy according to Revelation 2:9, but the above indicates that even blasphemy is forgivable. Even though the blasphemy will be forgiven, there are consequences for those that do so.

“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” – Revelation 3:9

Those that make the claim to be real Jews, but aren’t will eventually worship before the feet of those in the CHURCH. Jesus calls them LIARS and BLASPHEMERS that are in the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN. Real Jews worship in a synagogue dedicated to God. Believers in Christ usually worship in a CHURCH. So why exactly is Jesus addressing Jews in a Christian CHURCH? There seems to be a connection to the wheat and the tares:

“But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” – Matthew 13:25

While Serpent Seed believers would have us believe that Jesus was talking about Satan having sex and creating offspring based on the above verse, it actually refers to something similar to a spy. What exactly is a tare?

  • Tare – A valueless plant growing wild, especially one that grows on cultivated ground to the exclusion or injury of the desired crop. Any undesirable or troublesome plant, especially one that grows profusely where it is not wanted.

Now let’s revisit my previous question: “Why would any true believer be concerned about their own ethnicity if they are saved through the grace of Christ?” They wouldn’t. If you are saved through the grace of Christ, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE A JEW OR NOT. Paul confirms this:

“But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” – Galatians 3:23-28

For those of us that are saved, all of the boundaries have been erased by Christ. How exactly does the parable of the tares apply to Serpent Seed? A tare causes injury to the desired crop (the CHURCH). All Serpent Seed believers claim that they are real Jews  (some might be but not all) and being wrong about that claim causes them to commit BLASPHEMY. Jesus refers to the people that falsely make these claims as being part of the Synagogue of Satan. A tare is something that is not wanted mixed in with the desired crop (CHURCH). Christ is clear that He does not desire the people that falsely make these claims to be mixed in with believers. As believers we don’t want to keep company with those in the Synagogue of Satan.

Serpent Seed makes the claim that if you don’t believe in it, you must be in the Synagogue of Satan, but who are the ones concerned about whether or not they are Jews? Again, only Serpent Seed and Replacement Theology believers. Those of us that don’t concern ourselves with those views don’t really care if we are Jewish or not, because IT’S NOT RELEVANT TO SALVATION. The only people in danger of being guilty of the accusations in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 are those that make the claim to be a real Jew s(Serpent Seed and Replacement Theology believers).

Who has the most to gain by getting Christians to commit blasphemy by claiming a Jewish inheritance that they might not have? Who has the most to gain by teaching people to hate the Jews in Israel? Who has the most to gain by labeling believers in Christ as offspring of Satan if they do not accept the above? The enemy has the most to gain. In the parable, Satan didn’t stick around to water his doctrine that he planted. He just sneaked in, dropped the seeds (the idea in this particular example), and let it grow on its own. so that the wheat (CHURCH) wouldn’t even know that he planted it until it was too late The tares that grow among the wheat benefit from the watering of the good seed (CHURCH), all the while sucking the life out of some of the desired plants in the process, making them useless. Don’t be deceived, Serpent Seed teachings are not of God. If you believe in Christ, it is irrelevant whether or not you are Jewish. It has no bearing on salvation.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The Truth About Serpent Seed – Part 3

As we continue looking at the doctrine of hate, false witness, and blasphemy, it’s important to address the claim that Serpent Seed believers are doing the work of Christ. In the last post I shared an email from Paul in which he says, “God hates the Jews”. I decided to use my Bible program to run a search for the words “Jesus” and “hate” in the same verse. Nothing came up. I then ran a search for “God” and “hate” in the same verse. This time I got results for God hating certain practices and deeds, but none about Him hating any individuals.

Most Serpent Seed believers are under the notion that they are the true Hebrews, but what if they are wrong? Jesus had something very interesting to say about this practice in the book of Revelation.

“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” – Revelation 2:9

Jesus calls it BLASPHEMY to claim to be a Jew when you are not. Notice that those words come directly from the Bible and not from me. Here is where it gets very interesting. The Christian Identity teaches that the true Hebrews are WHITE while the Black Israelite movement teaches that the true Israelites are from Africa. There are three possible scenarios here:

  1. Christian Identity is wrong.
  2. Black Israelites  are wrong.
  3. They are both wrong.

Christian Identity and the Black Israelite movements are complete opposites and both think the others are the seed of Satan.  Both groups can’t be right. Their philosophy doesn’t allow it. The Bible also makes it clear that there are consequences for those that claim to be Jews but really aren’t. For those that falsely make the claim, the following awaits:

“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” – Revelation 3:9

The false Jews will worship at the feet of the real Jews. If you get sucked into the Serpent Seed doctrine and start claiming you are a real Jew, you have committed blasphemy. To me it sounds like Satan has his hands all over this doctrine. Also notice that Jesus says that these false Jews are of the Synagogue of Satan. What would people in the Synagogue of Satan teach? I assume they would teach the opposite of what Jesus taught. Did Jesus teach us to hate the Jews? Did Jesus teach us to accuse people of being the offspring of Satan? Did Jesus ever tell us that God hates anyone? The Serpent Seed Theory teaches people all of the above.

“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” – Matthew 7:16-23

Is it the will of the Father to teach hatred of the Jews or any other race for that matter? Also ask yourself the following: What good fruit comes from teaching people to hate Jews? What good fruit comes from teaching people that God hates Jews? What good fruit comes from accusing Adam of homosexuality? ?What good fruit comes from saying Eve committed adultery? What good fruit comes from calling the Holy Spirit a liar by denying Genesis 4:1? I can’t think of any good fruit that comes from any of the Serpent Seed teachings, but I sure can think of some bad fruit. Every experience I’ve had with people that teach serpent seed are nothing but false accusations against anyone that does not accept their theory as truth. If you don’t agree with Serpent Seed believers, you will be accused of one of the following without fail:

  1. Being of your father the Devil
  2. From the line of Ham
  3. Kenite
  4. Not following Christ

Keep in mind that they need these accusations because they can’t back up their position with scripture. They have no problem making false claims against believers because they already hold to a Satanic doctrine that attacks Adam, Eve, Cain, Ham, and Jews based on teaching that do not appear in the Bible. They have no problem adding you to the list of people they are already telling lies about.

Here is an interesting link that shows the history of Jew hatred, but with the focus on the most famous Serpent Seed believer, Adolf Hitler: Why Did Hitler Hate The Jews?

Here is another video that has the testimony from a Holocaust survivor. His story is evidence of what Jew hatred leads to: Survivor Testimony

Serpent Seed believers are not doing anything to bring glory to Christ or edify the Church in any way, shape, or form. They have the same philosophy as Hitler (he followed Serpent Seed teachings). Hitler had the same philosophy as Herod. Herod had the same philosophy as Haman. Haman had the same philosophy as Pharaoh. Read Exodus if you want to know the outcome of what God did to Pharaoh and all of Egypt for their hatred of the Jews.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The Truth About Serpent Seed – Part 2

Did you know that Adam was an open homosexual? At least according to Serpent Seed Theory. Here is just one more problem with this teaching. If they are wrong, they are spreading false witness. In order to accept what Serpent Seed teaches, we have to accept that Adam willingly desired and entered into a homosexual encounter with Satan.

According to Serpent Seed Theory, Eve at the “fruit”, which wasn’t really fruit, but represented sex with Satan. From here we encounter one of two possible scenarios:

  • Adam was with Eve when she ate the fruit.
  • Adam wasn’t with Eve when she ate the fruit.

Either way, according to the Bible, Adam ate the fruit as well. If we accept the Serpent Seed interpretation of fruit, we encounter two more scenarios:

  • Adam watched Eve have sex with Satan and wanted Satan to have sex with him too.
  • Eve brought the “fruit” to Adam, thinking he would enjoy having sex with another male.

Either scenario has Adam openly and willingly engaging in homosexuality, which is what Serpent Seed teaches. For those Serpent Seed believers that deny this, the following verse makes it clear that Adam was not deceived into eating the fruit in the garden:

“And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” – 2 Timothy 2:14

The Bible clearly says that Adam was not deceived, meaning the only option is that he knowingly and willingly had homosexual sex with Satan in the garden, according to Serpent Seed. The problem Serpent Seed believers have is that they have to either say that Adam knowingly had homosexual sex or the fruit did not actually refer to sex. If they admit the latter, their entire false doctrine falls apart, so they stick to their false witness against Adam in order to uphold their false teaching. If you are thinking about following this doctrine of hate, false witness, and blasphemy, make sure you know what they believe before you fall for their deceptive Satanic doctrine.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The Truth About Serpent Seed – Part 1

If you have read any of my previous posts on Serpent Seed, you know that I made the claim that they are spreading hatred and racism. This weekend I received an email from Paul Schlegal that proves my point. This email is in response to my last post, The Serpent Seed – Doctrine of Hate, False Witness, and Blasphemy. Here is what he said:

“You sure are emotional on this subject as is Riggs.  I have no intention of arguing – we have been there done that.”

What Paul means is that he has no intention on actually using the Bible to show me the Serpent Seed Theory that he holds on to. I’ve asked Paul for SCRIPTURE to back his claims and to date I haven’t received any. Paul actually started emailing me just after the interview I did with Zen Garcia, in which Zen knew more about the Targum of Jonathan than the Bible. Feel free to click on his name to hear the interview for yourself.

Paul claims that I’m “emotional” about the subject, but I’ve been asking him for SCRIPTURE since 12/12/10 and to date nothing. What Paul does is send me links to stuff outside of the Bible that supports his view. I don’t consider that to be SCRIPTURE even though Paul seems to. I’m not emotional about the subject, just warning people so they don’t get sucked into this cult belief that teaches people to hate.

“But you are very wrong on this one…”

Paul has yet to show me where scripture says I’m wrong, yet he insists I am wrong about what I said. The above statement will shortly become very ironic as he continues his email.

“I have no ill feelings toward you, I just think it a shame TRUTH has been so hidden by the enchanter…who sexually seduced eve…”

Again, I asked Paul to show me using SCRIPTURE and he sent me a link to several books written by an individual that is clearly a racist. Based on his response to me asking for SCRIPTURE, I can only conclude that Paul views these books as SCRIPTURE and not the Bible.

“The KJV was based in a large part on the Geneva Bible.  The 3rd chapter of the Geneva Bible is even called The seduction of Eve…(or something like that)…”

Can someone send me a screenshot of Genesis 3 in the Geneva Bible so I can verify this claim that Paul is obviously unsure about? I would also like to encourage everyone to do some research on the KJV and discover how it was ACTUALLY put together.

“All this talk of hate speech etc – you sound just like a government puppet for the illuminati…”

In the last post I wrote, I mentioned that Serpent Seed believers relied on false witness and accusation because they can’t actually use scripture to back up their claims. If someone refuses to teach hatred as they do, they will accuse you of being Serpent Seed, of Satan, the Illuminati, etc. The above statement clearly reveals Paul’s ignorance about the actual Illuminati (he follows the mainstream teaching on the subject). Christ didn’t preach hate and neither will I, so I guess that would make me and Christ both puppets of the Illuminati.

“Guess what – THE JEWS are Serpent Seed !  And God Hates them unless they repent….”

Earlier Paul said I was wrong about them preaching hate, but then proves my point with the above by calling Jews the offspring of Satan. Based on this email it is Paul and those like him that make Christians look bad and are doing the work of Satan by spreading hate. I’d also like to challenge someone to find me a verse in the Bible that calls ALL Jews Serpent Seed or a verse that says God hates the Jews unless they repent.

I predict that some Serpent Seed believer will write a long response with some excuse why they won’t use scripture, which is usual with false teaching. “I would show you but…” They need to convince themselves not to actually look for any scripture.

“So Georgia is correct – She is also correct that most White people are Serpent Seed / but not all…”

It appears that Paul has not actually listened to Georgia’s show. She said “white people”. Not some, not most, but all. Either Paul is right, Georgia is right, or they are both wrong. Georgia says white people are Serpent Seed, but Paul says not all of them are. Sounds like racism to me, no matter how you package it.

“Keep your head in the dogmatic mantras of the millions that have come before you…”

Unlike Paul, I keep my head in SCRIPTURE and not some 8th century Targum written by a coward that had to use the name of someone else to obtain credibility (Targum of Jonathan). Paul’s hatred of the Jews is nothing new. Satan has been trying to get people to hate the Jews since the promise was made to Jacob.

  • Pharaoh hated the Jews (Exodus)
  • Haman hated the Jews (Esther)
  • Herod hated the Jews (Matthew)
  • Hitler hated the Jews

People are always complaining about the Jews having money and the Jews controlling everything, but what did God say to Abraham in Genesis 12:3? What I find to be very interesting is the outcome of the circumstances surrounding Haman’s plot to have all of the Jews murdered.

“Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)” – Esther 9:1

Maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else notice the “wink” face at the end of that verse? To the best of my knowledge we didn’t start using that until the computer age, but maybe God has a sense of humor (I know the original text had no punctuation similar to the current punctuation system)? Back to my point, the Jews ended up having power over those that hated them. For those that complain about the Jews having power, they need to take a brief history lesson from the book of Esther. History repeats itself.

“Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.” – Esther 9:5

Even though Haman hated the Jews and convinced others to join in their hatred, he eventually fell, just like Pharaoh, Haman, Herod, and Hitler. I firmly believe those that spread hatred of anyone will have to answer to God. Those that hold to the Serpent Seed Theory are no different than any of the people that came before them. Hitler was an open Serpent Seed believer and we saw where that belief led. Serpent Seed believers are not doing the work of God by spreading hate. Both God the Father and Jesus (the Son) said, love your neighbor as yourself and He wasn’t talking about the person next door (Leviticus 19:18 and Matthew 22:39) I encourage you to do more research into this doctrine of hate before you fall into this Satanic false teaching.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The Serpent Seed – Doctrine of Hate, False Witness, and Blasphemy


I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it a lot more after this: The Serpent Seed Doctrine is a doctrine of hate, false witness, and blasphemy. Let’s start by looking a list of things you have to accept in order to adopt the Serpent Seed Theory into your current belief system:

  1. The Bible Is A Lie – Almost every single aspect to this theory is in complete opposition to what SCRIPTURE (Bible) says. I do not consider the Targums to be scripture or equal to scripture. They are nothing more than Bible commentary. Much of Serpent Seed belief comes from sources that were NEVER included in any version of the Bible and most are known pseudepigrapha (written under a false name). They trade in the sound doctrine of the Biblical text for the false doctrine of men. Blasphemy
  2. Adam Was A Homosexual – In the Bible it says that Eve gave Adam the fruit and he did eat (Genesis 3). Serpent Seed Theory interprets the fruit as sex. The Bible makes no mention of Adam being a homosexual or having sex with the serpent in the garden. False Witness
  3. Eve Committed Adultery – After Eve commits adultery by sleeping with the serpent, according to Serpent Seed Theory, she then asks Adam to partake. The Bible never says any of this either. False Witness
  4. Cain’s Mark Was A Curse – Serpent Seed Theory teaches that this mark was a curse. If you listen to any of the white racists that teach this theory, they claim the mark was black skin. Read Genesis 4 for yourself and you will see that God put a mark on Cain as protection and promised to take seven fold vengeance on anyone that touches Cain. God only commands His mark to be put on three groups of people in the Bible (Genesis 4, Ezekiel 9, and Revelation 7). All of them were under God’s protection. When you make claims opposite to what scripture says, you are indeed calling the Holy Spirit a liar. Hatred/False Witness/Blasphemy
  5. Cain Was Conceived Inside of The GardenGenesis 4:1 makes it clear that Cain was conceived outside of the Garden, Adam was the father, and Eve declares he is a gift from God. The entire premise of Serpent Seed Theory calls the Holy Spirit a liar by saying that Genesis 4:1 isn’t actually true. Blasphemy
  6. Noah Had More Than One Wife – The Bible never says this. It is 100% speculation in order to figure out a way to say that Ham is from the line of Cain. There is no Biblical truth to it. There are some that make the claim that Noah’s wife was from the line of Cain and so it continued through Ham. If they all had the same mother, Cain’s line would also have continued through Shem and Japheth, meaning EVERYONE is from the line of Cain, which makes the entire theory irrelevant. Since that is the case, they have to make up a story in order to continue the theory past the flood since the Bible says only eight people survived, once again calling the Holy Spirit a liar. Blasphemy
  7. The Nephilim Come From The Line of Cain – There is nothing in the Bible that mentions Nephilim only coming form the line of Cain. Genesis 6 says “daughters of Adam”. There is absolutely no mention of Cain or Seth as the sub groups that the fallen angels went after. The scripture clearly says that they went after beautiful women from the line of Adam, which included the lines of Cain, Seth, and Adams other sons and Daughters. To say that this is not true is once again calling the Holy Spirit a liar. Blasphemy

The above seven examples are things that Serpent Seed believers will not come right out and say unless you press them for an answer. Serpent Seed believers seem to have no problem with the fact that they might be spreading lies and false witness against Adam, Eve, Cain, Ham, Noah’s Wife, Ham’s Wife, Canaan, and modern Jews. They also seem to have no problem calling the Holy Spirit a liar. None of this is of God and only benefits the serpent in the garden. People that hold this theory only serve to glorify Satan and his agenda. Followers of Serpent Seed will accuse you of being of the Devil if you do not agree with them, which is just more false witness added to the rest of the false witness in the theory.

When Jesus spoke of the wheat and the tares, He was referring to those in the church that would be in opposition to God’s Word. Everything about Serpent Seed Theory fits that description. Remember, Satan is the accuser of God’s people. Test for yourself and see what happens when you challenge a Serpent Seed believer, they do what their father the devil (father in action only) does, they make accusations.

Excerpted From – Serpent Seed: Debunked

“Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers… This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” – Titus 1:9,13-16

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4

Video Of Their Fruit

Special thanks to David Strader for posting this video. This video contains black guys and one white guy trying to convince another white guy that white people are evil. To add to the ridiculous Christian Identity teaches that black people are evil. Sounds confusing to me and God is not the author of confusion.
