The Apocrypha and the lost books of the Bible lost me a position or was it just the excuse? I was going to the Church of God and the pastor kept telling me I was getting old and needed a church family so I tried to get involved. There are nice people that were going there. They got flooded with babies, and lack enough 'teachers'. So I volunteered, thinking maybe it was time to put out what
G-d had deposited in me. My hearts compassion is having everyone love G-d's Word.
I think my gifting is making the Book come alive and give it understanding.
The pastor had rules and conditions that one must jump through before he gives a answer; I started jumping through all his hoops. Knowing one cannot be too careful in whom they learn Scripture from. (2 Tim. 2:15.)
When it came down to D-day, I was pulled aside and the pastor said he had called his supervisor to look at my blog. Does that seem strange to you? Does he call his supervisor to check out all his people? It was going to be only a small group teaching.
His supervisor did not like the fact that I had some 'Apocrypha writings in there and science research topics'. He said it was 'against their doctrines', so the answer was 'no' because they do not believe in extra writings.
Believe what? That they never existed? Here is a list of some mention in the King James Bible - and there is also a list for the New Covenant.
I have never taught on any of them, but I do rabbit trails as G-d leads me. I will be lucky to get the Scriptures done before I pass on to Glory Land. The Apocrypha was one of the college courses I had taken and found interesting, but my calling is to research the Scriptures.
The lesson I learn is that G-d used me to challenge one of His servants. My prayer is he will take 'this issue' to prayer and see what G-d says. I will continue to keep my nose to the books! G-d has set me aside for a reason. G-d lead me to having a blog as a way of releasing what was deposited and teaching who-so-ever cares to read it.

GOD TOLD ME SOMETHING I Was NOT EXPECTING to HEAR!
-David Wilkerson - Oct 20, 2010.
One night during a prayer meeting, God told me something about
our church I was not expecting to hear.
The Lord whispered to me, “This church needs shock treatment!
Too many have grown satisfied and complacent. You feel safe and
secure from all the winds and waves of false doctrines sweeping
over the land—but you are not prepared for what is coming!”
Beloved, the message of having the Spirit’s witness functioning in
you is not a request—it is a matter of life and death! If you don’t
have the witness of the Holy Ghost in these last days, you’re not
going to make it! You’ll give in to the coming spirit of the Antichrist!
You need the Holy Spirit witness every day—on your job, at work,
at school. You need to rightly judge politicians and leaders so
you’ll not suddenly be sucked into the antichrist system.
This is what Jesus was trying to tell us about the foolish virgins
who ran out of oil for their lamps. They had a supply of the Holy
Ghost—but they didn’t have his witness at the final moment.
Don’t end up a foolish virgin! Humble yourself and search your heart!
Cry out to God to rid your soul of all anger and bitterness.
Confess your sins and forsake them.
And depend on God once again for everything!
Get the peace of God in your heart, so you can have a Holy Ghost
witness. And ask the Father for a greater enduement of the Spirit.
Invite him to be your witness and guide in everything!
We face a cost of going all the way with Jesus, but we also will
receive a reward: It is simply the blessing of having Christ stand
with us. There are many other rewards as well (see Matthew 19:29),
but I mention this one because it is all we will ever need.
When Paul was imprisoned in Jerusalem, the whole religious
system wanted to kill him. They accused him of polluting the holy
place and preaching false doctrines. His life was in danger; even
the soldiers were “fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in
pieces” (Acts 23:10). So they took him by force and locked him
away in a castle. The next night the Lord himself spoke to Paul,
and what a word he brought: “Cheer up! There’s even more trouble
to come!”
The cost of following Christ was clear in the lives of these men of
God—and if we are going to be like our Master, then we must
embrace this cost as well. Enduring it becomes a joy because
Jesus promises to stand with us in every situation. And we can
face anything or anyone when we know the Lord stands with us.
So count the cost and know that your reward, in all things, is the
precious presence of Jesus Christ.
Sorry to hear ... try not to let it bother you.We believe in you and know God's hand is both with and upon you. Keep seeking Him even more intimately ... let Him speak to you more than ever before.
God will not take you where the will of God will not sustain you. God has called you as a Bible Instructur to only preach His word, that is your call.
Brush the dust off of your feet and
be a wise stewerd with what knowlege and advice you have been impated with!
Sorry to hear you were shot down, their loss, keep in the Word and follow His leading.
It sounds like he was looking for a excuse, notice he had to look deep.
I totally disagree with how he has handled this matter. He should at least have given you a chance to discuss your writings and answer any questions he may have about them.
How can you be dismissed if you hadn't even started teaching yet?
I hope you do continue your blog. I know you have heard from unknown people who have read some of your wiritngs. Who knows how many people you have blessed that haven't contacted you.
