Category: Neighborly or Not?

In the last issue, I began to reply to Betty Benson’s public Facebook post on the Moon River Community FB page against me. I continue to address the rest of it now. But before we continue, I’d like to make some general remarks about the lethality of gossip, slander, lies, and defamation of character.

The liar is the first victim of his lie. Slander is like an invisible poisonous gas, slowly and surely doing its damage anywhere it is present and presented. By the time the damage is done to the one lied about, the liar is already injured and destroyed. It’s only a matter of time for the tragedy to be manifest.

The slanderer is the first to suffer the consequences of his stupid and careless lies. It’s a law.

Gossip is pure poison to be swallowed first by the gossiper, and goes on to poison all those who repeat it. It can only be neutralized by the Truth and someone must speak the Truth for that to happen. Until it is stopped, it continues to steal, to kill, and to destroy.

That’s why I’m speaking up. The Lord says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He hates lies. He has directed me not so much to defend or justify myself as to speak the Truth and demolish the power of falsehood. Truth will always prevail in the end, no matter how convinced offenders are of the justice of their beliefs and cause. It’s an irrevocable law. Like gravity, and more.

And the greater judgment falls on those who work such injustice while taking upon themselves the Name of the Lord. His Law declares: “You shall not take upon yourself the Name of the Lord in vain. I will not hold you guiltless.”

To profess oneself a Christian and do evil to one’s neighbor is what it means to take His Name in vain. I’m sent to Moon River and to the world to condemn these things the Lord so hates and has winked at for all these years.

See what lies and slander have done to the liars and slanderers. Now, to continue.

Betty wrote: “I know the dogs have been a concern in the past, and we have done everything we can to try and remedy that problem. I can appreciate that not everyone feels the same about animals that Dell or I do. So, when we walk past your place, I am hyper diligent to make sure if there are any doodles, I pick it up. I can totally respect that you do not want poo in your yard. If we see people on the trails, I have the leash with me at all times and use it.”

This isn’t about your dogs, Betty, and it isn’t about your supposed neighborly virtues. You exalt yourself with self-praise and it’s all bullshit. But for the moment, I’ll pursue this dog subject where you’re concerned and prove with facts that you and your husband certainly have not “done everything we [you] can [could] to try and remedy that problem.” Then I’ll provide more proof in other matters to show how little you do care for your neighbor as you profess and pretend.

I remind the readers that this is about so much more than dog problems. Those are but symptoms of something far more serious. I’m addressing the misrepresentation of Jesus Christ. I’m addressing a fake righteousness, a fake Christ, a fake Christianity, the counterfeit gospel, which Betty represents and promotes.

I declare I’m no longer sitting back and letting people lie and malign or confuse my true faith with their false one. By the time I’m through, I’ll prove without a shadow of a doubt to those who care for the Truth as to who represents God faithfully and Truthfully and who doesn’t. And if after all my witness of the Lord Jesus Christ and exoneration of the true faith in Christ, some either couldn’t care less or even stick to being my enemies, so be it. I’m good with that even though I’m angry.

I know God is angry and He has determined that I speak the Truth to all. No more bullshit, no more horse shit, no more dog shit, no more evil. God’s done with it all and you will all know it.

Betty, I still shake my head at the permission I granted you when you asked for a free run of your dogs in our yard a few years ago with the promise that if your dogs dumped, I could message you and you would clean it up. There are a few things about that arrangement I granted that make me hang my head in shame for my stupidity to please my neighbor:

One, for the sake of your dogs, I must watch for their messes.

Two, if messes occur, and they invariably do, as you well know, I must contact you and wait for you to clean them up.

Three, meanwhile, because I keep my lawn mowed longer than usual, it’s not that easy to spot the stuff, which means (and it happened) I run over it with my tractor, it gets on the tires and I track it into my garage where it stinks and I must clean that up.

Four, while you did promptly come to pick up your dog shit when we messaged you, and it happened a few times, I watched Dell watch your yellow dog dump in our front yard and walked away never to return. I thought he was going to promptly return with cleaning equipment. He did not. And when I told you about that, you said, “Dell isn’t good at that sort of thing. I’ll come and clean it up.” Which you did.

But why should we go through all that trouble just so your dogs have the freedom to roam in the neighborhood? What other neighbors must put up with that? None that have any sense, unlike me in that matter.

Did you arrange that with others, too? I had to stop the arrangement. But I ask, didn’t it occur to you that I was doing you an unmerited, inconvenient, and unnecessary favor? And did your husband, according to your acknowledgment, give a damn? It doesn’t seem so.

Since that time, the dog by-laws were enforced to require dogs to be on a leash; no more free wandering. But that was never a problem for you, was it, provided your “family” gets to roam and shit anywhere? There’s neighborliness for you! Of course, it’s not unusual for people to love their family members more than loving their neighbors, not even those neighbors who believe on Christ as their Lord and Savior. Tell me, Betty and Dell, does your four-legged family profess faith in Christ? How are they about shitting in people’s yards?

You say, “I can appreciate that not everyone feels the same about animals that Dell or I do.”

Can you, really? If you wouldn’t crap in our yard, why don’t you have a problem with your “family” doing so? Is your family’s crap any better than yours? And what are you, parents or siblings of dogs?

You have the nerve to ask our permission to take responsibility for them in our yard? How foolish of me that I gave it. But it did prove something. It proved you care much more for your “family” than you do for your neighbor, which, the Law of God says you’re to love.
Is this more of your christ’s love? How else do you explain it?

You say you believe or see things differently in the faith than we do as if believers are free in Christ to differ. But what does it say of the saints (believers in Christ) in the Bible?

“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things common” (Acts 4:32 Webster’s Bible Translation).

You publicly posted to us: I am sad that you have referred to Val Berns in such a negative way.

Do you know what happened between me and Val Berns? Do you care to know both sides and get to the Truth of the matter? No.

A professed key interest of yours is “to conduct myself the way that Jesus would want me to.” Wow. Pure self-righteousness. And that’s why you miserably fail. You make a mockery of God. It’s because it’s your light and not the Lord’s, the True Light of the world, the One you profess to believe in. Your jesus doesn’t give a damn about justice, equity, and Truth. He’s the prince of pride and deals in appearances. He’s the counterfeit, and that’s your agenda.

And where did you learn of such a jesus? According to you and Dell, it was from your late mother of the United Church. Am I right? That figures.

Of Val Berns, you continue:

She fought a hard battle with cancer, how cold and callous, Victor, to say, “where is she now?”

She died a terrible death because of her evil attitude, speech, lies, false accusations, slander, and defamation of character against me. Not that she wouldn’t be guilty of those things against others. In God’s sight, I was the “last straw,” a pattern I’ve found that has often proved to be the case with others.

Val suffered the consequences of deliberate sin, Betty. And in ignorance and blasphemy, you’ve taken on the defense, justifying the wicked, as if you were some savior or hero on her behalf and behalf of virtue and justice. And now you suffer the same measure of justice as you’ve measured out.

That’s how things work. I know because I know The Worker of these matters. Meanwhile, you are destroyed by the deceiver but refuse to change. So, it is what it is.

You scoff, “Like you had anything to do with her passing. I hope Andy does not see what you have written as it would hurt him so badly.”

As if you cared about Andy! Aren’t you righteous and compassionate now!

What makes you think I don’t have anything to do with her passing? Who are you but an ignorant, pretentious woman who knows it all and knows nothing? Who taught you to believe the lies you speak? What or whom is your authority? Certainly not the Scriptures the Lord authored or the servants and prophets He has sent to warn people of their sin, like me and the Word I speak.

Your defense of Val is the judgment and justice of your god on full display. Did you ever know that without a single word, act, or even thought of provocation from me, Val soon treated me like your family member’s dung whenever we met on the road, even publicly in the presence of my friends?

Here’s a bizarre incident with Val:

One summer evening as I was having a casual and friendly conversation under a street light at the corner with Genny Bogaert, his mother Magda, and someone else (Possins bought their property), Val came up to us, obviously drunk, and immediately started spewing ugly things about me to all of us. She said I had shot dead a neighbor’s dog, beaten a child to “within an inch of his life,” and had a prison record. All of which were false, without any substance. I was astounded. Where on earth did she get all that? From others in Moon River? Who? There had been many other ugly rumors that I’d recorded. Who was spewing these? The Bogaerts were disgusted with her, not that it mattered to me what their reaction was. Just saying.

Here’s another record in my journal:

VAL BERNS EPISODE, May 17, 2009: Paul and Sara, friends visiting from Montana, and I set out for a walk. Val Berns was coming home with her dogs. She was smiling. I thought she was going to be friendly. I said “Hi” to her, upon which she snarled, “Aren’t you going to tease my dog in front of your friends?”

Paul and Sara were quite upset that she was “so vile,” as Paul put it. I reacted, saying, “Two-legged dogs are worse than the four-legged.” Later, I realized God was tweaking my general attitude and that was why these strange events were happening. I also realized God was engineering opportunities to judge Val by mysteriously hardening her heart against me.

Later, sharing this event with Marilyn, she received that things were finished with the Berns. It witnessed by the Spirit with all of us. Now we would see what would happen. This was the fourth unprovoked altercation with her on the road, two of them public.

I pondered why the Berns were so full of contempt for me. What did I do to them at any time? When? Where? How? Why? It was a mystery. And then it became so obvious to a guy like me being sooo slow on the uptake: it was the ugly rumors and gossip circulating around Moon River for years before they moved in. She heard them, believed them, and sought no confirmation, evidence, or proof. She refused to hear the other side if there was one. She simply took them for face value, believing it all, judged, and trashed me. In her sight, I became veritable shit, dog shit. I could feel the contempt; it was almost palpable.

Here’s a point to be made: The rumors didn’t begin with Val, but they didn’t end with her, either. She could have stopped them in their tracks as far as she was concerned. Instead, she naively, wickedly, and faithfully believed, repeated, and likely embellished them, like most slanderers and gossipers so easily tend to do.

So, in effect, those gossipers and slanderers she cooperated with killed her on the spot, accomplices with her. They became guilty of her blood. Yes, they did. Did they realize it? No, they didn’t.

If Val died passing on slander and false accusations about me, what happened to those people who invented them? All are guilty. I happen to know what happened to some of them.

I also know that God will have judged them according to their hearts in their crimes. Some will not have paid the price Val paid, but then, they didn’t come at me in full force, publicly, as she did.

Some may have spoken ill of me out of entertainment while she spoke against me like I was the worst thing that ever happened to hit Moon River, and she was going to do something about it, not for good, but for evil. Even if none of it was her business.

Still, God is no longer winking at so much as casual evil talk. All will be judged. He’s done turning a blind eye. I’m here to tell you so. Watch for it. It’s all summed up in how you treat your neighbor, secretly or openly. He sees and hears it all.

One thing is likely. If the Monocle does nothing more, it will make you think twice before you carelessly open your mouth to anyone about others. Especially, you’ll not be so quick to speak in Victor’s hearing against anyone unless you have good cause to do so. But if guilty, you need to make things right with anyone you can. No time to waste.

I had nothing more to do with Val. We never met on the road again. It came to pass that Val fell ill of lung cancer though she wasn’t a smoker, and died.

Nothing but nothing in God’s creation is a purposeless incident. “Coincidences” are not happenstance. Yes, they are incidents occurring simultaneously with one another but with Divine Purpose. This I have learned and know, and now I speak from Heaven to inform, warn, and rebuke if perchance people will listen, learn, and repent of their stubborn, foolish, and wicked ways. If they don’t heed, they suffer consequences – always.

It has been said, “God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform,” wonders of both good and evil among men. God’s purposes are manifold. I’m speaking and teaching these things to let others know Who God is, who He isn’t, and how He works. He has directed me to do so. You are all dealing with God now, not just “little old, despicable me.” God is visiting this community and the world. I tell you, He’s “finished winking.” Those who listen to me and do right will be spared and those who ignore me will be punished and destroyed.

Belligerent Betty Benson goes on:

I am praying for healing even though you tell me God will not heal me because ‘you’ think I am evil. I have been called many things in my life, but never evil, until just the other day when you said it.

You are praying to another jesus. That’s one. Two, you pray without faith, which is the only way to receive an answer to prayer. You say you believe but the Bible says this:

“You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?” (James 2:19-20, NIV).

Three, I don’t think you are evil, I know it, yes, ‘me.’ So, you’ve never been called “evil” in your life? It’s so tragic a thing that you’ve never been confronted with your sin. Those who have claimed to serve God in whatever capacity have done you a great disservice, including your late mother, church members, pastors, and others. You’ve been kept in the dark and now you suffer the consequences.

You say, “What a thing to say to someone who is battling an illness.”

Oh, poor you! You’ve been told the Truth BECAUSE you suffer an illness, with hopes that by confession of sin and repentance, you’ll be spared of your tragedy. This is precisely what I’m talking about when I say we are at loggerheads with opposite gospels, two conflicting righteousnesses – light, and darkness that poses as light.

You speak lies to me out of veiled hatred and I don’t hate you for doing so, while I speak the Truth to you out of love and you hate me. And see where you are? You are at enmity with Jesus Christ, the One you profess to believe.

Having a positive attitude means so much and I can assure you, when I walked back to my home after you yelling at me, I felt anything but positive.

I did not yell, and it’s not my job to give you a positive attitude or to make you feel good. You have wayward psychotherapists, lying preachers like Joel Osteen, multitudes of other preachers, and “well-meaning friends” for that. I come to speak the ONLY thing that can save and make you free, the Truth. Which you hate with a passion. Foolish woman, foolish, foolish woman.

Makes me wonder what you would have to say about me. Would you say the same? “Where is she now?”, like you have some arrogant form of authority in that matter.

No more need to wonder, Betty. You now know what I have to say. Am I being arrogant or am I who I say I am and know what I’m talking about?

If I speak the truth, by God’s authority, we will all know. “There’s nothing hidden that won’t be made known,” said Jesus – my Jesus and not yours. If speaking the Truth is being arrogant, then yes, I’m arrogant, guilty as charged. But the “proof will be in the pudding,” as they say, won’t it?

I meant what I said as I was leaving, I try to be kind and friendly to people, would rather have harmony than strife.

Betty, you have miserably failed. You’ve been anything but kind and friendly with me, except in phoniness and superficiality. Jesus Christ is never foolishly, pretentiously, and vainly kind and friendly as are you. And harmony? On whose terms?

I will still say hello, I will still be kind. And if you find that to be ‘your most ardent foe’, well,…then I am not even sure what to say to that. I just truly hope that people can get along, for all our sakes.

If all that is so, why publicly post lies and false accusations against us? You lie, Betty.

People can’t get along with lies. The sober realities will always surface. If I carried on as though everything was just fine and I had no responsibility to speak the Truth to my neighbor, then I’m not my neighbor’s friend. Instead, I’m your friendly neighborhood and Moon River’s “resident” enemy – a foolish, treacherous, phony, self-preserving fool. That is not the will of God. That is Satan’s will. I’m not interested.

Sorry Jayne Christine Bury, I realize you didn’t want these sorts of rants on here and I’m sorry, from now on, will try and only keep it to community stuff. 😔

Hypocrisy, Betty. You’re not a whit sorry or one, you wouldn’t have posted your evil remarks to begin with. Two, if you were sorry as you claim, you would immediately withdraw your comments, knowing you “offend community FB standards.” But no, you lie. You’re intent on doing your evil, which is what you’ve done.

And I knew I’d have my turn in due time to answer your lies and self-righteous stance, which the Lord hates with passion. I want the entire world to know right from wrong. You don’t. I want everyone to know the difference between good and evil. You don’t. Time to know.

They say Truth hurts. Yes, it does, but only if one is against the Truth. One can never fight Truth and win; they’ll only get hurt. But Truth heals and makes free those who embrace it, submit to it, confess their abject moral poverty, and repent of their false Jesus, their lies, their self-righteousness.

Just like Job, who thought he was so good, charitable, right, wise, noble, and true. By the time God was done with him, Godly Job declared:

“I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You; therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5-6).

How about you, Betty? Have you ever despised yourself and “repented in dust and ashes” before God? I don’t think so. I think you’ve presented yourself as virtuous and well-meaning, concerned about your neighbor.

Allow me to divulge some things you said to me of your neighbors in your “great effort “to conduct myself the way that Jesus would want me to.”:

You used to walk your vicious dogs on Frank Oostenbrink’s property just before Maas Brink bought it. Frank wasn’t going for that anymore, especially when hearing about “Freddie,” your German Shepherd’s propensity to attack and bite. So, he gave notice to you. He had children and territory to protect. With or without children, he was entirely within his rights, reason, and duty to do so.

But you complained in our ears that he no longer tolerated you walking your dogs on his property as if he didn’t own it.

Again, when Maas and Tinie moved in and put up their fence through the bluff of trees that straddled your properties, you complained as though he was in the wrong, though you knew he wasn’t trespassing or claiming anything to be his that wasn’t his.

I thought, “It’s HIS property! Don’t you get it? He has every right and you have no grounds for complaint.”

You are not a Christian, Betty. Yes, you fail, as you pretentiously confess, but it isn’t as a Christian. You just do your thing and don’t give a damn about anybody, least of all Christ, all with a smile and pretense that you “love Jesus and neighbor.” All bullshit, all of it.

I say these things not only to justify myself. I say them because God moves me to speak, to let everyone know that He’s fed up with all the pretense and false witness of God. He’s done. He’s finished winking, not only with those who profess faith in Him but don’t have or live it, but with all those who carelessly go about their lives as though God doesn’t exist or care.

I’m telling you all, He sees, does care, He’s fed up, angry to the full, and is now moving to do something about it. Case closed. Y’all need to fear.

Victor Hafichuk

Lord willing, and I believe He is, another ISSUE #16 in due time to continue from Issue #5: Some Good News Indeed, concerning Angela Suntjens.

In this issue are revealed the fallacies of the remarks Betty-Lynn Benson made on the 2020 MRC FB page post.

Again, I remind everyone that this is all about two righteousnesses at war, one good and one evil, the True, Biblical, Living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ versus a clown of a god portraying himself as Jesus Christ, deceiving and destroying many.

My hearty purpose is to report how the Lord has stood up and vindicated us in the face of our enemies. For this, I am super thankful. Praise the Lord! He’s real, alive, and He is the Personal Judge of ALL the earth, even over Moon River, and this article is more about how He is so. He’s finished winking at all falsehood and hypocrisy. It is His Day of Judgment, of Wrath, of Vindication. No more bullshit by “another Jesus.”

For context, this is what Betty posted on the Moon River FB page in 2020:

Betty J. Lynn-Benson Victor Hafichuk, as I have said to you before, I have zero desire to verbally spar with you on any subject, but I really take your third paragraph as a personal slight. How can you say that I am your most ‘ardent foe’ when I have never tried to be unkind to you in anyway. In fact, when we had a little set to in the past, I thought we had mended that fence and could be good neighbors. I do not think that you have the right to tell me that I am a Christian or not a Christian. That is for my Creator to decide, not you. I have no idea what provoked that outburst from you. I only wandered into your yard to deal with one of the times the sheep were wandering through our yard, Brinks’ yard, yours and Kronlunds.

I try to conduct myself the way that Jesus would want me to. Do I fail lots? I sure do, but thankfully, He forgives me. I know the dogs have been a concern in the past, and we have done everything we can to try and remedy that problem. I can appreciate that not everyone feels the same about animals that Dell or I do. So, when we walk past your place, I am hyper diligent to make sure if there are any doodles, I pick it up. I can totally respect that you do not want poo in your yard. If we see people on the trails, I have the leash with me at all times and use it. I am sad that you have referred to Val Berns in such a negative way. She fought a hard battle with cancer, how cold and callous, Victor, to say, “where is she now?”

Like you had anything to do with her passing. I hope Andy does not see what you have written as it would hurt him so badly. I am praying for healing even though you tell me God will not heal me because ‘you’ think I am evil. I have been called many things in my life, but never evil, until just the other day when you said it. What a thing to say to someone who is battling an illness. Having a positive attitude means so much and I can assure you, when I walked back to my home after you yelling at me, I felt anything but positive. Makes me wonder what you would have to say about me.

Would you say the same? “Where is she now?”, like you have some arrogant form of authority in that matter. I meant what I said as I was leaving, I try to be kind and friendly to people, would rather have harmony than strife. I will still say hello, I will still be kind. And if you find that to be ‘your most ardent foe’, well,…then I am not even sure what to say to that. I just truly hope that people can get along, for all our sakes. Sorry Jayne Christine Bury, I realize you didn’t want these sorts of rants on here and I’m sorry, from now on, will try and only keep it to community stuff. 😔

Before I proceed to Betty’s public remarks on social media, initiating this public reply, albeit over 4 years later, I have somewhat to say.

Who is she to blaspheme and argue? Who is she to judge and denounce me for speaking on behalf of the Lord? Who is she to rouse her spouse and sic him to threaten me? Who does he think he is that he can take the law in his hands and do as he pleases with me?

“Grrrr, don’t you dare get me, the peaceable man that I am, riled up. Just watch big, strong me stomp on this ant. Hell, I’ll stomp on a thousand. Watch me, honey! See how I stand up for you, my dear, poor wife.

“Watch me even champion the rights of women on my FB page, everyone! Aren’t I the tough-guy hero?! Yeah, when it comes to push and shove, I can even beat up on old men and women, making good my threats, and brag about it. All for my dear poor baby. Just let me at ‘em. I don’t need to hear anybody’s case or the other side of the story. I just want the chance to show my wife how much I love her! Damn Truth and Justice!”

Dell, you love nobody but yourself. Betty, you don’t love anyone but yourself. Without the Spirit of Christ, no man or woman can truly love another. God is love. How can you love anyone without Him, then? Adding sin to sin, you profess faith in Christ. There’s mama Christian Betty, and “baby Christian” Dell, as Betty refers to him (12/1/2016, FB Messenger – “…My husband is a very new Christian”).

Maybe you can fool people if they are as dark as you are, but you can’t fool God. “Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for as a man sows, so will he reap.” God doesn’t care who you are or what arguments you may have to justify yourselves.

Trust in yourselves and your own strength but I come to you in the Name of God and we’ll find out if human might is greater than His Truth, wherein I trust. I say it’s a contest of right against might.

Should you be on the side of the right and I on the side of delusional wrong as you surmise, the Lord will deliver me into your hand or just plain do away with me. His choice. I’m good with it either way.

If I’m wrong, Lord, put me out of my misery, if You will.

But if I am right, and you people trust in brute strength, in your might, then you’ll suffer the consequences, which is the thrust of this public post in reply to your public post, my reply as, “Vindication.” I have laid my neck on the line to speak what I strongly believe to be His Word to you and to demonstrate and prove whose Jesus is the True One and which is false, not for my sake so much as for His, not that I believe He needs my help.

I’m angry, very angry with you people, that you should have the nerve to conduct yourselves as you do. I also believe my anger is the Lord’s and His mine. I want this all dealt with in the open light for all to see. Many people are now witnesses to this event. You asked for it; you’ve got it.

Now, for Betty Benson’s 2020 MRC FB page post:

Betty J. Lynn-Benson Victor Hafichuk, “…as I have said to you before, I have zero desire to verbally spar with you on any subject,”

Isn’t this respectable, saintly, and peacekeeping of you, Betty!? “Blessed are the peacemakers,” right? My, a guaranteed up-front seat in Heaven when the time comes, right? Ya gotta love your jesus! But really, do you love him that much?

Or could it be that you’re so void of substance because your jesus is not legitimate? We’ll see. My Jesus says:

“What I whisper in your ear, shout it from the housetops [everyone hears that],” and “Don’t be afraid of those who can kill the body and after that, can do nothing more, but fear the One Who can destroy both body and soul in Hell.” I’d say the latter refers to the Lord Jesus Christ, wouldn’t you?”

Here’s the point in all of this. When the Lord sends a prophet to speak to people, you have no business “sparring,” or arguing. What makes you think you have options? You are to hear and obey what He says. It is for your life. You must obey if you don’t wish to suffer the consequences. Why should you “spar” with a red light or a stop sign?

Nor do you have the right to reject what God has to say to you. Who are you to call the shots with Him? Of course, you don’t believe that it’s Him speaking by me. Neither did the Jews of old believe it was Him speaking to them by those troublesome, presumptuous neighbors (prophets) He inspired to speak to them. Guess what? Those people perished in their sins.

Betty: “…but I really take your third paragraph as a personal slight. How can you say that I am your most ‘ardent foe’ when I have never tried to be unkind to you in anyway.”

(I had written an article on the MR Facebook page and the remark was not directed personally and specifically toward Betty, but the shoe did a perfect fit.)

I HAVE said that phony Christians, who are phony because they worship a phony jesus, are my most ardent foes. Even as the Biblical, ancient Pharisees of Jewry who claimed God was their father were the most ardent foes of Jesus Christ and His followers. Yes, the professors of faith killed Him. So pious a people they were!

The Jews even immediately cleaned up the “crime scene” of the crucifixion because they had to purify themselves to keep their holy, solemn feast of Passover that evening in His honor and worship, not realizing HE was the Passover Lamb of God they were killing. And He was dying to pay for their sins! Does irony get any more real, any more dramatic, any more amazing? They murdered the One they claimed to worship!

Yes, Betty, you were indeed one of those to whom I referred, even if unwittingly and unintentionally. Your Christianity is thoroughly fake, you proved it, and I will show how you went on to prove my declarations to be true. Thus, the title Word of this series God spoke to Marilyn of you, “VINDICATION.”

Betty: “In fact, when we had a little set to in the past, I thought we had mended that fence and could be good neighbors.”

There was and is a fence between us, a fence of your making that needed breaking, not mending, hence the conflict. That fence delineates the false christ from the True.

That is the issue. But you can only try to deny it and to escape the Truth. It hasn’t worked and cannot work.

And many people in Moon River may resent me for bringing these things concerning you to light, but what choice have you and Dell left me? Didn’t you two think you were exposing me with your lies? But I expose you with the Truth. How can two people be good neighbors if they worship opposing gods?

There was no “set to.” I spoke Truth and you rejected it. I remained in my position and you in yours. You took it as a “set to,” while I took it as another occasion of speaking Truth to those who don’t want to hear it, preferring their comfortable religious lies. It is a persistent conflict between the forces of good and evil, of light and darkness.

Betty: “I do not think that you have the right to tell me that I am a Christian or not a Christian. That is for my Creator to decide, not you.”

You think wrong, and God says so to me and all. By your Creator, I’m speaking to you. As I’ve already unequivocally stated, I have not only the right but also the solemn duty, according to the Jesus Christ of the Scriptures, to tell you the Truth about yourself. People need to hear the Truth, like it or not, and you do not have the right to call yourself a Christian. You don’t have the right to “call good evil and evil good.” God says so…in the Bible, you say you believe, yet when “push comes to shove,” you don’t believe it at all.

I have every right to tell you that you are not a Christian because God has commanded it. Yes, it is for your Creator to decide, and He has given me this knowledge and put these words in my mouth to speak what He has decided.

And who are you to say, or think as you phrase it, that I don’t have that right? Who told you that? It is a fallacy. It is the doctrine of false Christianity, entirely unbiblical. Your jesus may lie to you because he is a liar. My Jesus will not say such a thing because He is True and no liar.

Betty, you can’t go on this way and escape the consequences. He says so, and He doesn’t tell you this to put you down but to deliver you from going down. Yet, you cling to your dark way instead of humbling yourself, confessing your sin, and repenting (changing your mind and your actions) that you might be saved and not perish.

You choose His enemies as friends and His friends as enemies.

Betty: “I have no idea what provoked that outburst from you. I only wandered into your yard to deal with one of the times the sheep were wandering through our yard, Brinks’ yard, yours and Kronlunds.”

I’m amazed that you can conceive and declare there was an outburst when there was no such thing. I can only conclude that your fear of being found out is what drove you to hear and defend yourself as you have and do. I was NOT attacking you. I was speaking to save you and you took offense because you couldn’t handle the Truth.

However, it didn’t take long for you and your husband to furiously attack me, shout at me, and threaten me, did it, both personally, face-to-face, and by public media! You were going to protest your virtue, proclaim your innocence, and my guilt.

Marilyn did allow that when I am excited and sense the importance of what I speak, I can get loud. Perhaps that is what you experienced and took my words as those of an enemy because you couldn’t receive them from a genuine friend with a plea to repent.

There is that misconception that fearful people are innocent. After all, can people be responsible for fear? God says so. They can be afraid because they know they’re guilty and refuse to confess their guilt and come clean, thus fearful of deserved retribution.

Did you know that in the Bible, the fearful are first on the list of sinners to be thrown into the Lake of Fire? I doubt it since you believe only “positive” information in the Bible to “tickle your ears” and suit your preferences.

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8 KJV).

You say you believe in the Bible, do you, Betty? You worship the Bible, you pick and choose “nice parts” of it, pet verses, and apply them to pacify yourself, salve your conscience, and take your stance in strong delusion because you don’t love the Truth, Which is Jesus Christ, our Lord, the One of the Holy Scriptures. And see what He does with those who don’t believe the Truth:

“And for this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11,12 KJV).

That’s in the Bible. Do you yet believe the Bible? But, of course, you’re not that dumb, are you?

You say, “I try to conduct myself the way that Jesus would want me to. Do I fail lots? I sure do, but thankfully, He forgives me.”

You totally fail and you know it. You have no idea how wrong you are and you don’t want to know. Don’t you know that if sins aren’t confessed and repented of, you have no forgiveness at all? The entire Bible says so:

“If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then [and only then] will I hear from Heaven, and forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, King James Version).

But you aren’t confessing and repenting, are you? You’d rather evidently do what you say you don’t want to do with me, and that is “have zero desire to verbally spar with you [me] on any subject.” You’re wicked, Betty. Evil? I don’t recall using that term on you but now I declare it: You ARE evil and you prove it with every word that comes out of your mouth and keyboard.

Besides, the Bible expressly declares that all men are evil (Romans 3), so who are you to be offended to be called what God says you are? Who do you think you are, mama’s girl? The only escape or solution from that indictment by God is confession and repentance, and truly, you are light years away from that. So, where does that leave you if not in condemnation, not because Victor says so, but because God says so?

If you had a relationship with the Lord, and I was your persecutor, you would believe His Words:

“Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.”

“Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

If persecuted or hated for His Name’s sake, He commands you to rejoice. I don’t come attacking as you falsely accuse, but to heartily urge you to believe in Him. And you cry, bitterly complaining to a hateful and boastful husband. Then you come and help him vocally attack, interrupt, shout me down, falsely accuse, and call me a liar and blasphemer! And then you stand idly by while he threatens violence against my wife and me. Is that not the undeniable disobedience and fruit of the hypocrite? And I don’t have the right to question your faith? How so?

Were you right to return evil for evil, assuming I did evil to you? Not according to my Jesus, but yours. How much more should you love and receive me when I speak for your benefit and offer help? Why treat me as your enemy? Have you apologized to me?
You, Betty, are an unforgiven sinner, and your fruits speak louder than I do. “You shall know them by their fruits,” said Jesus Christ. You know, the One Whose Word you don’t believe? Well, as circumstances progress, we will know whether or not He should be believed after all, won’t we, one way or the other.

And what does the apostle Paul say of such as you?

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them” (Ephesians 5:11, ESV).

Betty, there is no forgiveness for the unrepentant hypocrite. None, zip. You believe an evil, deceptive, and destructive gospel, and one of the purposes of my reply and public post is to warn everyone of this evil, lest they should also be deceived and die in their sins and false hopes.

The apostle Paul, wrote a giant portion of the New Testament, firmly founded upon the Old, and in the Spirit of Christ, of Whom both Testaments testify. He calls your gospel, “another gospel (not the true),” and not the Biblical one he preached. So, if the true Gospel saves when you believe, shall the false one save when you believe it? How can that be?

And what will you do, Betty? Shed a tear as a helpless victim, thus riling your husband to murder us? Is yours the reaction of a disciple, a Biblical believer in Christ? Is that “how to conduct myself [yourself] the way that Jesus would want me [you] to?”

Betty, what a liar you are! Is it any wonder you’re perishing? I tell you, one and all: God is finished winking. He’ll have no more of it. You’ve seen it and you’ll see much more.

When initially discussing the things of God with Betty before their FB posts, I had warned her that unless she heard and believed me, things would not go well for her. Since then, there were the posts she and her husband made on FB. Then came the illness. When Betty announced to us that she had breast cancer, I wanted to help her. I knew I had been right and she had refused what I had to say and suffered the consequences.

When she and Dell came roaring at me and condemning me, I had to walk away. When I got back to the house, the Lord gave Marilyn the Word, “Vindication.” We were vindicated. Our warning proved true, unfortunately on the negative side.

Should I have said anything more thereafter about the issue? Was it necessary? Time will tell; God will tell. I believe I needed to say more because their public words on the MRC FB page against us were on record and I needed to address them. That’s what brought us to this hour in this posting.

Lord willing, I will finish replying to the Bensons’ public, lying, slanderous, threatening denunciation of us four years ago on the MRC Facebook page in the next issue. There is so much to refute and disprove for everyone’s sake, the Lord’s sake, our sakes, and even the Bensons’ sakes, if they can believe it, and I know full well they won’t, even as Betty stubbornly and self-righteously refused to listen before.

I have this paper publicly posted and nobody’s compelled to read it. It’s your choice, not anyone else’s. But if you choose to do so, see that I’ve provided you the opportunity to reply. Chances are very slim that I won’t post your replies. I’m neither ashamed nor afraid of posting them, be they true or false. Know it.

More to come.
