Hello Neil and Doves

After reading this article and some other news shared here in Fivedoves today, I felt the NEED to write in response to everything you have shared in the link above and other such articles written by the Doves.

As believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are NOT to fear!
I am counted among the "elderly".
When I read my KJV Bible I see throughout it's pages where God said; " fear not".
In Genesis 15:1 KJV God said
Fear not, Abram: I AM THY SHEILD, AND THY EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD.

Deuteronomy 1:21 KJV
The LORD God said; FEAR NOT, NEITHER BE DISCOURAGED.

Deuteronomy 20:3 KJV
LET NOT YOUR HEARTS FAINT, FEAR NOT, AND DO NOT TREMBLE, NEITHER BE YE TERRIFIED BECAUSE OF THEM;

BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE, FEAR NOT, NOR BE AFRAID OF THEM: FOR THE LORD THY GOD, HE IT IS THAT DOTH GO WITH THEE; HE WILL NOT FAIL THEE, NEITHER FORSAKE THEE.

Joshua 10:25 KJV
FEAR NOT, , NOR BE DISMAYED, BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE: FOR THUS SHALL THE LORD DO [TO ALL YOUR ENEMIES] AGAINST WHOM YE FIGHT.

2 Chronicles 20:17 KJV
YE SHALL NOT NEED TO FIGHT IN THIS BATTLE: [SET YOURSELVES,  STAND YE STILL, AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD WITH YOU,]

ISAIAH 41:13 KJV
FOR I THE LORD THY GOD WILL HOLD THY RIGHT HAND,(SAYING UNTO THEE, FEAR NOT; I WILL HELP THEE.)

LAMINTATIONS 3:57 KJV

JOEL 22:1 KJV
FEAR NOT, O LAND; BE GLAD AND REJOICE FOR THE LORD WILL DO GREAT THINGS.

MATTHEW 10:28 KJV
AND FEAR NOT THEM WHICH KILL THE BODY, BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL: BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHICH IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND BODY IN HELL.

LUKE 12:7 KJV
BUT EVEN THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED. FEAR NOT THEREFORE YE ARE OF MORE VALUE THAN MANY SPARROWS.

We as believers, need not fear anything that we see in the news TODAY or TOMORROW, because our LORD tells us not to fear. I am a member of the Church of Philadelphia and my LORD tells me this:
Revelation 3:8,10 KJV
I know thy works: behold, I' have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience. I (also) will keep thee from (the hour of temptation,) WHICH SHALL COME UPON ALL THE WORLD, TO TRY [THEM] THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH.

Revelation 21:8 KJV
BUT the FEARFUL, and UNBELIEVING, and the ABOMINABLE, and the MURDERERS, and WHOREMONGERS, and SORCERERS, and IDOLATERS, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

If an individual be (born once) he shall die twice.
If an individual be (born twice) he shall die once, or be translated at Jesus coming.

JEREMIAH6:16 KJV
Thus saith the LORD, (STAND) ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the OLD paths, where is the good way, and WALK therein, and ye shall find REST FOR YOUR SOULS. But (they) said, We will not walk therein.
Galatians 5:1 KJV
STAND FAST THEREFORE IN THE LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HATH MADE US FREE, AND BE NOT ENTANGLED (AGAIN) WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE.
(the Hebrew roots and sacred name movement)
Ephesians 6:11,13, 14
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND against the wiles of the devil. 13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,[ that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,] AND HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND. 14) STAND THEREFORE, HAVING YOUR LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH (TRUTH,) AND HAVING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS;
Philippians 1:27 KJV
Only let your conversation be as (it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, THAT YE STAND FAST IN ONE SPIRIT, WITH ONE MIND STRIVING (TOGETHER) FOR THE (FAITH OF THE GOSPEL;)
1 Thessalonians3:8 KJV
For (now) we live, (IF) ye STAND FAST IN THE LORD.
2 Thessalonians 2:15KJV
Therefore, brethren, STAND FAST, AND HOLD THE TRADITIONS WHICH YE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, WHETHER BY WORD, OR OUR EPISTLE.
Revelation 6:17 KJV
For the great day of his wrath is come; AND [WHO SHALL BE ABLE (TO) STAND?]

Habakkuk 2:1 KJV
I will STAND UPON MY WATCH, and set ME upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, AND WHAT I SHALL ANSWER WHEN I AM REPROVED.

May God bless you and yours
