I wrote, “The Final Feast”, not to tell believers exactly how to become a Tabernacle Christian but rather to help those interested personally explore this undiscovered country. Learn about the spiritual fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles and Divine Love here…
I don’t like Gate Keepers. In fact, Gate Keepers are the reason I started The Final Feast in the first place. Every time I started talking on a forum or Facebook, some Gate Keeper would shut me down. These self-appointed defenders of the faith are merely extensions of the compromise and natural minded thinkers of the normative church. They feign openness and acceptance, yet get them just a little bit beyond their doctrinal comfort zone and they pounce.
God’s Man-child will make a show of you openly
I have news for the Gate Keepers of this world, God is about to do something that will make Samson’s treatment of the philistines city gate look like child’s play. You will not be Gate Keepers anymore, because there will not be any gates to keep. Everything you seek to preserve will be demolished and nothing you do will save it.
You will let God’s people go
God is about to liberate His people from your ilk and deliver them once and for all from the bondage you impose. After God’s judgement, Egypt never rose to greatness again, because God laid waste to it. You will never again dominate God’s people, because God’s love will possess them.
God is calling to His Bride and we will hear His voice. Though you try to squelch His Spirit, we will not regard you any longer. The voice of our beloved is all we care to hear.
Gate Keepers, we shall see you no more
Our deliverance will be complete and final. Like the army of Pharaoh; Gate keepers, we shall see you no more. It is our time of freedom from fear. Gate Keepers will no more prevent God’s people from worshiping Him in Spirit and in Truth.
I have heard many people talk about the “sin” of Community Chapel & Bible Training Center. I believe, almost exclusively, those who do are referring to physical intimacy and divorce. Though, from unspecified rumors, some excesses did occur, I have no personal experience in this regards. However, for fairness sake, let us just agree that some did not handle Divine Love properly.
Be that as it may, I view the sin of Community Chapel & Bible Training Center quite differently than most. In my considered opinion the sin Don Barnett committed was this:
In other words, though God was obviously breaking up earthy marriages He didn’t author, it was Pastor Barnett’s stand that divorce could not, in most cases, be allowed. In fact, the whole “counseling center” was built upon the notion that marriages were sacred and must be preserved at all costs – even at the cost of those who comprised them.
Even when I spoke to former members of the Church of Agape, they perpetuated this notion that divorce was unacceptable and a misuse of Agape Love. Don Barnett, according to reports, never accepted that Barbara Barnett divorced him and still considers her his wife until the day he passed over.
Be careful what you ask for
The leadership and congregation of Community Chapel & Bible Training Center earnestly asked for God to come to them. I remember mass prayer services where people beseeched the Holy Spirit to bless them. However, when God did show up, first in demonic deliverance, then in spiritual connections, many did not like it. What offended most is when marriages started disintegrating and mass divorce began to take place.
To me, standing against the dissolution of earthly marriages, rather than aiding people with their transition from man made contracts into Divine Unions, is the cardinal sin of CC&BTC. Persecuting those God led out of unholy matrimony is what destroyed Community Chapel. When God came to His own, His own received Him not. The “counselors” (which in reality were merely “doctrine enforcers”), opposed God’s will in breaking up earthly marriages He did not ordain.
Even the remnant ultimately failed
Ultimately, according to reports, even the Church of Agape broke up and left the doctrine of connections. I believe this is because they never truly embraced what God was doing in the first place. Even those who stood firm on connections, denied the consequences of Divine Love, which is often Divine Divorce. The fallacy of assuming holy matrimony in every case where a legal marriage existed is what ultimately led to CC&BTC’s destruction. Thus, in the end, when people didn’t allow God to have His way, the Holy Spirit departed.
As usual, the truth in God is quite the opposite of what natural minded people believe. The sin of Community Chapel & Bible Training Center was not its acceptance of spiritual connections, but it’s refusal to accept Divine Divorce. At least, if people had gone the distance with God there would be a remnant left instead of total loss.
God’s Spirit is more important than Bible training
In truth, I don’t know if any others fully embraced the move of the Holy Spirit. I hope there are some who survived the wreckage and journeyed on in Divine Love. If you did, I would like the hear from you. I realize, nowadays, that if we request the presence of God, we must accept however He comes. Basically, CC&BTC was prideful of their revelation, therefore they mistakenly assumed a natural ability to handle anything God did. However, when YHWH came, they were not the chosen, but only poor, blind, and naked – pretty much like all of us.
