1 September 29, 2014 Ronald F. Avery Architect 1933 Montclair Seguin, Texas Dr. Robert Jeffress FOX NEWS Contributor Senior Pastor First Baptist Dallas 1707 San Jacinto Dallas, TX Re: Your comments on FOX NEWS Hannity this date regarding the meaning of Romans 13 and "Radical Islam" updated to: Dear Pastor Jeffress, You said that: "it is time to start telling the truth about Radical Islam. We know that all are not terrorists, but the fact is there is something in Islam that incites violence. I mean the psychopath in Oklahoma who beheaded this woman, these ISIS terrorists that beheaded James Foley and others, what most don't realize is that they were following the example of their spiritual leader Mohamed who beheaded Jews who would not follow him into battle. They were following the teachings of the Koran (chapter and verse citation) that says crucify your enemies, amputate their limbs. And I know Sean the common argument is; that's a perversion of Islam. There are 130 million Muslims who embrace Radical Islam. If that many people are getting it wrong then there is something wrong in that religious system. And I think it is time for those of us who are Christian leaders to stand up and say without equivocation that God has granted government the right, not just to stop evil, but to pursue evil doers and obliterate evil from the face of the earth. That's Romans 13:4 that says government is an avenger of God to bring wrath upon evil doers. It's time to bring some wrath, some fire and brimstone against this evil, evil group." Then "Father" Jonathan Morris said: "In America thank God we have a tremendous respect for religious liberty and with that comes a danger that if you cloak anything in the name of religion, well then therefore, it must be respected as good. That's not true! Because we can cloak things in the name of God that are evil and we're finding that out. The good news is that all of us, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, or people of no faith have a common human nature capable of saying that some things are always evil and some things are always good. Some things that this Imam just said are evil and should not be confused with God or religion." Then Sean got into some kind of thing about 72 virgins with the Indiana area Imam, Mohammad Siddeeq of the Nur-Allah Islamic Center, and the discussion quickly disintegrated and everyone talked at once without letting the Imam make any point as has hannity-jeffress-romans13.doc 1 of 7

2 happened before on this show. When the Imam stated that the suspect alleged to have beheaded the woman in Oklahoma had Jesus Christ written on his stomach and his mother said he was a good Christian, all jumped on him at once. Then Sean turned to you again for a closing statement where you said: "Sean, look, whenever Christians do something fanatical, and it happens occasionally, people, like Father Jonathan and myself, we denounce it immediately and loudly. Your last two Muslim guests have shown what the difference between Christianity and Islam is. Where is the Muslim outrage? Why did it take so long to bring it? That's what the problem is and it has been illustrated tonight." I would like to point out that Romans chapter 13 does not give a right to a government in one land to attack another government in another land for the way it treats its own people. Let us look at Romans 13: " Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." Most modern churches today have no idea really what Romans 13 is talking about. Romans 13 deals with governments and their own people not interactions between all governments. Algernon Sidney, in 1683, wrote the best interpretation of Romans 13 I have ever read: hannity-jeffress-romans13.doc 2 of 7

3 But if this be the work of the magistrate, and the glorious name of God's minister be given to him for the performance of it, we may easily see to whom that title belongs. His children and servants ye are, whose works ye do. 1 He therefore, and he only, is the servant of God, who does the work of God; who is a terror to those that do evil, and a praise to those that do well; who beareth the sword for the punishment of wickedness and vice, and so governs, that the people may live quietly in all godliness and honesty. The order of his institution is inverted, and the institution vacated, if the power be turned to the praise of those that do evil, and becomes a terror to such as do well; and that none who live honestly and justly can be quiet under it 2 If it be grievous to any king to preserve the liberties, lives, and estates of his subjects, and to govern according to their laws, let him resign the crown, and the people to whom the oath was made, will probably release him. Others may possibly be found who will not think it grievous: or if none will accept a crown unless they may do what they please, the people must bear the misfortune of being obliged to govern themselves, or to institute some other sort of magistracy that will be satisfied with a less exorbitant power. 3 Algernon Sidney was also beheaded for writing the true meaning of Romans 13 in 1683 and placing sovereignty in the people rather than in the king in his book Discourses on Government as did Reverend Samuel Rutherford of Scotland in 1644 in his book Lex Rex, which was ordered burned and for which he was summoned to the Tower in London to stand trial for treason. He died almost immediately before getting to the Tower. Algernon Sidney became the martyr for the Glorious Revolution in England, out of which came John Locke who wrote the First and Second Treatise of Government in 1689 containing the principles of property upon which all lawful governments are founded regulating their means of creation, limits of authority and power, their means of support, their conditions of dissolution. Locke proved to the world that the sole purpose of government is the protection of the property of each individual under the said government consisting of their life, liberty and possessions or estate. This was followed by Frederick Bastiat in 1850 who proved to the world in his The Law that the foundation of all law is the combined right of each individual in society to protect their property by force delegated to their representatives in government. But he showed that these laws can be perverted to do just the opposite and this is the condition upon which we find ourselves in today in America and the Western Church is oblivious to that fact and has become an instrument of that perversion of law. Romans 13 is an admonition by Paul to the Romans to keep the ten commandments for which God has ordained all governments to enforce on their citizens based upon those things that all men know to be "always good" and their violation always bad, as "Father" Jonathan Morris has correctly stated. But God did not ordain government to harm its own people as Sidney shows or to harm the people of another nation over which it has no authority, religious or otherwise. The government of America has no religious authority from God or any other kind of authority to bring "fire and brimstone" down upon another nation because of their religion. This would be the use of an erroneous interpretation of Romans 13. Contrary to your statement, Romans 13 does not authorize Christians in 1 Romans 6:16 2 Algernon Sidney, Discourses Concerning Government, ed. Thomas G. West (Liberty Fund, Inc Allison Pointe Trail, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana ) Chap. 1, Sec. 20, p. 70. ( 3 Ibid hannity-jeffress-romans13.doc 3 of 7

4 America to trample the Middle East stomping out Muslims and destroying their nations, especially if they are innocent of the crimes the government of America has accused them of, namely, the attacks of 9/11/01 and two of the so-called beheadings. Romans 13 does however have major implications and condemnation of the government in America. The attacks of 9/11/01 that destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon and supposedly killed people aboard Flight 93 have never been investigated by any law enforcement agency in the United States of America. The 9/11 Commission was not and is not a law enforcement agency and it did not conduct a criminal investigation of the crime scenes and deliver a report of same to any law enforcement body in America. The FBI never conducted a criminal investigation of the crime scenes and never published a criminal investigation report. And, in fact, the FBI never listed Osama Bin Laden as wanted for his supposed role in the Attacks of 9/11/01. This means that the crimes of the so-called 9/11 Terror Attack have never been investigated and that the American people have simply taken for fact what private politicians and the private news media have said about it. This is a failure of the government of the United States of America to protect the people of America as is their one and only sole duty to perform. But the government of America has embraced these mass media and politician stories as its guiding principle for the 21st Century. However, the major undisputed, irrefutable, compelling evidence discovered since 9/11/01 proves that the political / media scenario about the so-called 9/11 Terrorist Attack is a myth of early Greek proportions: 1. The discovery of super nano-thermite found in all the dust samples taken at the World Trade Center points to something other than 19 Muslim hijacker suspects (five of whom are still alive according to the BBC). Super nano-thermite was developed and produced at the Los Alamos and Livermore US military labs and patented in the year This product is a military grade highly versatile and powerful incendiary that can cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. The tons of iron found in molten pools and rivers in the basements of all three skyscrapers six weeks after their demolition also prove that tons of super nano-thermite were employed. Molten iron is a byproduct of a nano-thermite reaction which makes its own oxidizer giving it the ability to burn under water and in other oxygen starved environments like under multiple stories of demolition debris The classic demolition of the 47 story WTC Building 7 at 5:20 PM on 9/11/01 proves beyond doubt that this building was pre-wired for demolition prior to 9/11/01 by the owner, Mr. Larry Silverstein, who purchased a 99 year lease for $100 million on the WTC six weeks prior to 9/11/01 with the right to rebuild the WTC if destroyed by terrorism. He also took out an insurance policy with a terrorism rider for $3.5 billion per incident for which he claimed two, one for each jet. He got $4.3 billion in the insurance settlement. Larry Silverstein admitted that the building was pulled a year later on a PBS documentary entitled Rebuilding America: "I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we 4 hannity-jeffress-romans13.doc 4 of 7

5 watched the building collapse." 5 We all know that fire departments do not wire buildings for demolition. We also know it takes weeks to plan and properly place incendiaries for a controlled demolition. We know that WTC-7 was pre-wired and we know Larry Silverstein knew it and we know if that building could be wired prior to 9/11 so could the Twin Towers 1 and WTC-7 fell at free fall acceleration for about 2.5 seconds. All structural elements or obstructions in the path of descent must be removed for any object to fall at free fall acceleration. This proves that controlled demolition was used on WTC-7 on 9/11/01 in order to have it collapse at that speed. This fact was first denied by NIST (National Institute for Standards and Testing) but later they had to admit it, as it was proven to them by a high school math teacher, David Chandler The firemen had reached the impact point of the south Tower 2 (78th floor) and said that there were several pockets of fire that they would knock out with two lines or hoses. Immediately after the radio message to headquarters the building collapsed. Obviously, those who wired this building did not want the fires to be put out and the building and its contents saved as the firemen were about to do. These audio recordings were sealed and not released until August of They prove the South Tower that fell first was not structurally compromised and fully accessible at time of demolition Pilots for 9/11 Truth obtained the black box data said to have been recovered at the Pentagon and found that the flight deck door or cockpit door had never been opened while in flight. Meaning it was not hijacked. They also found that the altimeter settings had not been set right to show its height while nearing the Pentagon but had to be flying at least 400 feet in the air. 6. No confirmed debris from a B-757 (Flight 77) was found at the Pentagon except for the black box and the bodies of the passengers which were said to have been flown to Dover for identification. The government explanation is that the two 7,000 pound titanium jet engines evaporated upon its impact at 535 mph. Professional pilots of this aircraft say that the 757 cannot be flown at level flight two feet off the ground at 535 mph because of the ground effect. But this is what the government claims. 7. Both the Structural Engineering Institute and the American Society of Civil Engineers in their joint report observe that the profile of damage to the face of the Pentagon before collapse does not match that of a B-757 (Flight 77) as the building showed no damage at the location where the vertical stabilizer would have hit and where at least 20 feet of both wing tips would have hit. What ever hit the Pentagon was much smaller than a B No part of a B-757 (Flight 93) was ever found at the crash site in Shanksville, PA as reported by the mayor. He said his brother-in-law and a friend arrived at the crash site hannity-jeffress-romans13.doc 5 of 7

6 even before first responders and they stayed during all the excavation and saw nothing indicating a plane crash, no parts, no people, no luggage, nothing The video of the beheading of journalist, James Foley, was proven to be fake by a company of forensic experts that work for the London Police Department. They also said they think he may have been killed but not in the video by beheading. 9 Now if we apply Romans 13 to the situation and evidence before us we find that the purpose of our government has been overturned as Algernon Sidney said. The role of our government is inverted. It no longer protects the people and their property but harms them and uses them to further an agenda that is not known to most people on the planet. Our government no longer rewards the good and punishes the bad but rewards those who lie and cheat and deceive and cover up facts and truth and punishes those who seek the truth and want to live quiet lives at peace with their neighbors. Our government has lost its ordination under God to enforce the law in our land much less punish people in foreign lands under other governments. Now, I ask you, Pastor Jeffress, "where is your outrage? And, "Why did it take so long to bring it?" Or is it coming at all, even now? You can no longer claim to be ignorant. You are either going to go along with the crimes and cover-up or "it is time for those of us who are Christian leaders to stand up" and "bring wrath upon evil doers. It's time to bring some wrath, some fire and brimstone against this evil, evil group!" Yes and that goes for those who are in government that have done these wicked evil deeds to their own people and blamed other people who are innocent of these crimes in order to take what is not theirs or ours. It is time for you to "denounce these evil deeds" of US politicians committing heinous crimes against their own citizens and blaming it on the innocent to destroy their lives, liberties and possessions. From this moment on, you are either a part of the crimes or you are against these crimes and you must lead your congregation to be against these government crimes against their own people in America and the innocent abroad. You are either evil or you are good depending on what you do with the truth that you now know and cannot deny before Jesus Christ who will indeed uncover all that has been done and punish them forever. Are you going to continue to call for wrath against Muslims or are you going to call for a real criminal investigation of the 9/11 Myth. And if you think that the church is open to this knowledge I have bad news for you. I was silenced in my church for wanting to educate them about 9/11/01. I even brought a complaint against my pastor who censored me without taking his complaint against me to the Session in the Presbyterian USA church in violation of its constitution. And the results were nothing but a denied uninvestigated appeal. Needless to say, I left that fallen away church in haste. 10 Now you will find out how really hard it is to walk with God. You will most likely lose your church by standing with God for truth because of shows on TV that people absorb without knowledge or question. Or you will most likely continue to bask in the hannity-jeffress-romans13.doc 6 of 7

7 sun of a full church and your prominence in the light of TV cameras on FOX. Oh and you will no longer be on TV but will be scorned and abused and slandered if you stand with God and the truth. But your reward will be great in heaven. In fact you might even get into heaven before you die where I presently reside at this moment. The "real problem is" that the Christian church has fallen away and it enjoys the look of righteousness but denies the power of God in Christ as you will surely do because you are addicted to this and will not give it all up to stand for the truth. You know you would become a street preacher handing out little tracks and lose your family as well as they too are accustomed to your standard of corrupt living. That is the true meaning of "what will you give for your soul" since you have already sold it for all that you have. You will have to give it all back to get your soul once again. So is it worth it to you? I say yes! But it's hard, I guarantee it. But it's worth it to escape that which is surely coming in God's time. I want to leave you on a positive note: "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." I want to see you lead your church out of darkness into the light of truth.
