From: Pastor Albert Jacob Carr,
A servant to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To: Victor Parma
Subject matter: victorparma.com

Dear Victor Parma,
It’s heart breaking for me to respond to someone that is so far astray from Jesus. I can’t comprehend how anyone can say that they believe in God and Jesus Christ, and then make such affirmations like you have. I have put you on my prayer list,to appeal for your salvation. My prayer to the Lord is that you will open your heart to Him, and to His Truth. God still loves you and so do I. A number one requirement in our Church is love for one another. No one is even allowed to raise their voice in anger, because this leads to unloving declarations. So, I’m going to articulate (with tough love), why you so desperately need Jesus in your heart and life. I will catalog some of your injustices and transgressions against God, Jesus Christ and His Word, because my focal mission is to lead lost souls to Jesus.
What we have here is a person (Victor Parma) that claims to believe in God and Jesus Christ, but expresses contempt for Truth, and has no love for Christian brethren.
What we have here is someone that:

• Scorns God’s only Holy Word, the King James Bible;
• Doesn’t believe or fellowship in the one body of Christ, His Christian Church;
• Doesn’t believe in hell;
• Doesn’t believe that Jesus is coming back for His Church, via the rapture;
• Doesn’t believe in Christ’s kingdom on earth;
• Doesn’t celebrate the resurrection of Christ;
• Doesn’t believe in man’s immortal soul;
• Doesn’t believe in the Devil, Demons, or Evil Spirits;
• Blasphemes the Holy Trinity; and
• Robs God of tithes and offerings that are rightfully His.

What we have here is someone that is an opponent to:

• Christians and their faiths;
• Baptism by full body immersion; and
• The second resurrection.What we have here is a:
• Racist, who rejects the equality of people;
• Thinks that prophecy is fulfilled;
• Is anti-Semitic;
• One that is hostile against Christian missions and soul winning; and
• Has no respect of Pastors/Clergy that are “called out by Jesus Christ Himself”.

Victor; repent for the salvation of your soul, and let Jesus come into your heart.
Seek counseling from a Bible believing Christian. (I’m available via the internet. If not me, please find someone.)
In Christ’s love,
–Pastor Al

Response:
Okay, which one of you jokers is putting me on? Is it you Richard? Did a group of you guys get together and concoct this? If not:

Dear Pastor Al,
I’m convinced that you did not read anything on this site thoroughly thru. You only scanned it.
If you had read thru it properly, you could not have written most of the things you did. Also, you would have found the challenge to prove all errors with Scripture verses.
Where are your Scripture verses for my correction?
Why didn’t you at least use one verse anywhere in your email?
How do you know what I believe? [What I think and/or believe is irrelevant anyway.]
There is nothing wrong for one to have ‘a love’ for people. But, your idea of ‘Christian love’ is from a theological doctrine.
Theological love is not from the heart, and makes one feel righteous. [Your opening proclamation describing yourself is proof of your self
righteousness.]
You don’t love me, and how do you know God does?
Let’s see what we ‘really’ have here.
A pastor that:

• Doesn’t quote from his KJV;
• Thinks he and his Church are in the Body of Christ, without any Scripture verses;
• Believes in a mythical, traditional hell without any Biblical proof;
• Believes in the doctrine of the rapture and kingdom theology, without any Biblical proof;
• Celebrates the pagan principle of Easter, with no Scripture verses for doing so;
• Believes in the immortality of man, therefore must think he is a god (or at least a part of God). Again, no Scriptures;
• Is theologically superstitious;Blasphemes God with a trinity, with not one Scripture verse for proof;
• Robs his congregation by tithes and offering, with the lie that it’s owed to God;
• Practices a pagan style of baptism, with no Biblical proof of full body immersion;
• Believes in a second resurrection, with not one Scripture verse even implying it;
• Must believe in communism and its equality doctrine;
• Believes in unfulfilled prophecy, (so Christ and the prophets are in error);
  Doesn’t know what a Semite is;
• Puts himself in an equal position with God and Christ, as a rescuer of souls;
• Thinks that people owe him respect because of his ‘self appointed’ occupation;
• Practices fraudulent, self righteous theological love;
• Must imagine everyone has to think as he, to believe in the Word, God and Christ.

Victor;
My question is about the resurrection. (Your chapter on resurrection didn’t answer my questions. I know it’s a study in progress.) Anyway, some guy told me it’s over. How can that be? When a person dies, they just don’t vanish. When graves are exhumed, even from 1000’s of years ago, bodies are still there. So, the spirit of them hasn’t been placed back yet, or the body would be gone.

I read in a tract that even if a body was eaten by a shark, it will be put back together at the resurrection. Do you agree or disagree?

–Chris

Response:

Chris,

It doesn’t matter if I agree or not. Allow the Bible to answer your questions.

2 Timothy 2:16 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, :17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, :18 men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some.

Theologians apply verse :18 into the doctrine of a future resurrection, because the verse states that it has not taken place yet.

Note: Paul was correct. The resurrection had not taken place. But, there is a difference between that which will be fulfilled, and what is fulfilled.

See: #13 ‘Is All Prophecy Fulfilled?’ in Studies in progress.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. :51 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed; :52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we — we shall be changed:

Note: Theologians imply that these verses confirm a future resurrection. Again, there is a difference between that which will be fulfilled, and what is fulfilled.

Paul was addressing the assembly at Corinth. This epistle was written to them, not to us. [The Scriptures are ‘preserved for us’, not ‘written to us’.]

The resurrection, as taught in verses :51 and :52, is not a ‘far future’ resurrection in some ‘far future’ time.

See: #7 ‘The Second Coming of Christ’ in Bible studies.

Does an immortal spirit return to a dead body?

See: #15 ‘Immortal Spirit of Man’ in Bible studies.

Will our mortal bodies ever be resurrected?

Job 7:9 I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for it a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again:

Isaiah 26:14 {They are} dead, they shall not live; {they are} deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
“Even if a body was eaten by a shark, it will be put back together at the resurrection.” [You’re still reading Chick tracts aren’t you?]
Were there any Scripture verses confirming this nonsense stated in the tract?
I wouldn’t think so, because there are none.

–Victor

Victor,
You sure piss-off a lot of people, especially preachers. Do you do this on purpose?

If so, why?

–Gary

Response:
Gary,
No, I don’t.

Dear Mr. Parma,
My senior pastor ask me to apologize to you for my over zealousness when writing to you. I earnestly meant no offence to you. I was only trying to help render what I believe to be severe mistakes. In my eagerness to do so, I seemed to have over stepped my authority. I’m still praying for you.

In Christ,
–Pastor Al
Response:
Dear Pastor Al,
I always try to evade thoughts and opinions on matters concerning the Bible, but your email isn’t about that.
I have personally known pastors as yourself, and discovered that all of you have many things in common. I suppose:

• That you are young;
• That you are fresh out of some Seminary or Bible college;
• You are so indoctrinated with unbiblical theology and conceit that you can’t recognize theological errors, and don’t care too;
• Your zeal is not passion, but arrogance;
• Your eagerness is not enthusiasm, but smugness.
• You will soon be a senior pastor of your own congregation;
• Within 6 months, you will be ask to leave or will be driven out;
• Your pride will obscure the reason(s) for their action;
• You will be working in a convenience store until some other gullible, desperate, unsuspecting church hires you.
• Right now, you view this response as an attack on your wonderful, good Christian character.

–Mr. Parma

Dear Victor;
Jerry Falwell was attackted for saying that a teletubby was gay. Do you think he is right? Why haven’t you addressed the gay subject matter? Do you think that it’s allright for children to watch them?
Sharon L.

Response:
Dear Sharon,

“Do you think he is right?”

I don’t know.

“Why haven’t you addressed the gay subject matter?”

It is not a Christian tradition, myth or fable.

“Do you think that it’s allright for children to watch them?”

I took a few minuets to view those things, and pondered a question. Why would a parent allow a child to watch something that makes Mr. Rogers look like Rambo?

–Victor

16.
Dear Mr. Parma;
I can’t believe some of the things I read on the internet from people like you. You must really have it in for Christians and their leaders. You make dishonest and disparaging remarks about theologians and pastors, and that is directed to include all Christians. Many theologians and pastors have spent their life time studying, preaching, and sharing their knowledge of God’s Word in teaching Christians, and especially for the salvation of non-Christians.

1. How much of your life have you spent in the study of God’s Word?
2. Do you have any schooling or basic training in the Bible?
3. Are you a Bible scholar?
4. Do you have a diploma, any credentials, or degrees in religious studies?
   Why should anyone follow your teachings and doctrines?
5. Are you smarter than the theologians?
6. Do you think that you know God, or have a personal relationship with Christ?
7. Do you think that you have the correct interpretation of the Bible?”
8. Your doctrine is contrary to the Scriptures and Jesus Christ. Is it because you are, or in a cult?
9. Why are you so in opposition to the Christian religion?
10. Have you no religious morals?

–Caroline

Response:
Dear Caroline,

“How much of your life have you spent in the study of God’s Word?”
I didn’t keep a record, so I don’t know.
“Do you have any schooling or basic training in the Bible?”
Some, but it was theology.
“Are you a Bible scholar?”
No.
Note: Most Bible scholars interpret the Bible to suit themselves, in an attempt to prove their religious system of beliefs.
“Do you have a diploma, any credentials, or degrees in religious studies?”
No.
“Why should anyone follow your teachings and doctrines?”
I do not have any teachings or doctrines; and if I did, no one should ‘follow them’.
[See: What does Victor Parma believe, in ‘About this Site’.
“Are you smarter than the theologians?”
I don’t know.
“Do you think that you know God, or have a personal relationship with Christ?”
I desire to know God; nobody has a “personal relationship with Christ”. That is an unbiblical, theological expression.
Note: Submitting to theology is proof that ‘Christians’ do not have any type of relationship with God or Christ.
If Christians had any kind of relationship with Christ, why would they follow the theology of clergy?
Most that follow theology do not have the desire to take the time to discover what is, or is not Biblical. They are unable to make any Biblical decision without the opinions of clergy. When a particular theological teaching is suitable for what they choose to believe, then that is what makes up their minds for them.
Submitting to the theology of clergy is not a relationship with God or Christ, but to church doctrines and their minister(s).
“Do you think that you have the correct interpretation of the Bible?"
No.
“Your doctrine is contrary to the Scriptures and Jesus Christ. Is it because you are, or in a cult?”
I do not have a doctrine, so I am not contrary to the Scriptures and/or Jesus Christ. I am not in, or are a cult; but are you?
Note: You may not consider yourself a cult participant, but theological doctrines are a part of what religious cults are. The purpose of any religion [cult] is compliance and devotion to that particular belief.
[See: #14 Cults, in ‘Studies in progress’.]
“Why are you so in opposition to the Christian religion?”
There is no Christian religion. There are Christian religions.
Each individual has the right to believe what they want.
It only appears that I am ‘in opposition’, because I try to rely on the Bible for answers instead of following any of the many Christian theologies that make up the many Christian religions.
“Have you no religious morals?”
‘Religious morals’ is not the point of your email. Conformity to the religion and theology of clergy is your point.

Dear Victor Parma,
I use the AKJV Bible, because it is a unique translation that has remarkable historical value, even back to Israel. I think that if you knew the importance of this fact, that you would change your outlook of this great Bible. I can produce facts that will prove that you’re incorrect about the AKJV Bible, and why you should use this Bible only. Are you open in allowing me to prove this to you?

–Dan G.

Response:
Dear Dan,
Sure. Can you be as direct as possible, and use Scriptures for your proof?
–Victor Parma
[Dan] I’ll use scripture verses as much as I can, but some of the proof is historical. You’ll see why as we go along. Is that okay?
[Parma] Yes.
[Dan] I have hundreds of documented evidence, but I will only list 5 major proofs at this time. Is that okay for now?
[Parma] Sounds okay to me, but can we cover only one item at a time?
[Dan] Fine. Fact number one. The KJV was the only translation that was “authorized” by a King of Davidic lineage; King James.
[Parma] Prove it.
[Dan] KJV Psalm 89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, :4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
KJV Psalm 89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
KJV Psalm 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. :35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. :36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
These verses are the connection between King David and King James.
The seed of David and the throne of David will continue for ever and in all David’s generations. The lineage of King James (who authorized the KJV) substantiates that he was a descendent of King David.
[Parma] Prove it.
[Dan] Hold on. I’m getting there.
KJV Jeremiah 43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah. :5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah; :6 Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.:7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
The Bible says that the king’s daughters went to Egypt. These daughters of the king fled Egypt and settled in the land now recognized as England. That is how God kept His promise of establishing the Davidic throne for ever. Do you understand this?
[Parma] I understand what you are saying. But, understanding is not necessarily agreeing. Can I explain?
[Dan] Explain away.
[Parma] The throne of David was only to continue wherever the people of Israel were gathered.
[Dan] That is right!
[Parma] The throne was not “for ever”, but “for ages”.
[Dan] The throne was established “for ages” as you put it, because the king’s daughters through royal marriages and offspring continued the seed line of David.

[Parma] Seed line is passed on by the man (male), not the woman. Men have seed; women have eggs. But, there is something more significant anyway.
KJV Jeremiah 43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
How can it be acceptable to disobey the Lord? Why would God reward anyone for disobedience of His Word? The king’s daughters went to Egypt against the Word of the Lord.
[Dan] True! But read the verses again! They were forced to go by the captain of the guard. They didn’t have any say in the situation. It wasn’t their fault.
[Parma] It doesn’t matter. God said ‘all’ that went to Egypt would not escape His judgments. The Scriptures do not even indicate an exemption to anyone from these judgments, including the king’s daughters.
KJV Jeremiah 42:13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, :14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: :15 And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there; :16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. :17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. :18 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. :19 The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
None shall escape the judgments; they all will die in Egypt. Where do the Scriptures indicate that the king’s daughters are excused? The king’s daughters, according to the AKJV did not escape anywhere.
[Dan] Read verse 17 again. It says all men; not women. This would make the daughters exempt.
[Parma] Are you sure?
KJV Jeremiah 44:7 Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
It did not matter if the king’s daughters were women or children; the results were to be the same. The AKJV confirms this.
[Dan] You’re forgetting the most important issue; God’s promise to maintain the Davidic throne for ever.
[Parma] The most important issue is what the Scriptures say and mean.
KJV Jeremiah 44:12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
From the least to the greatest; would not the king’s daughters qualify as the ‘greatest’?
:13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: :14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
The AKJV proves that no one escaped the judgments of God; all died, and that includes the king’s daughters; (unless there are contrary AKJV verses.)
Nowhere, in any Bible, does it even imply that the king’s daughters escaped from Egypt. Even if there was any historical proof that they did leave Egypt, then God and the AKJV are both in error.
What is your second proof?
[Dan] You refuse to recognize the point. You’re hopeless; forget it.
[Parma] The point is unbiblical, ridiculous, absurd, religious nonsense. Your own AKJV proves that.

Dear Vic:
I just read John chap. 14 and a question popped up to me about verse 12. Why can’t Christians today perform these things that Jesus said would be done? I’m not talking about these phony TV evangelists that claim to perform these things and are obvious that they are fakes. Nevertheless, why can’t Christians perform any of these great feats today?
–R.M.
Response:
Dear R.M.;
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater {works} than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
Note to whom Jesus was talking to. He was talking to the disciples (apostles whom he had chosen), not Christians.
Did the apostles do these things?
2 Corinthians 12:12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.
“Nevertheless, why can’t Christians perform any of these great feats today?”
Note: Even if this was directed to Christians, how could they perform any of these things if their faith is in theology instead of Christ?

–V.P.

Dear Mr. Parma.
I’m emailing everybody I can about a disgusting thing mentioned in our bible study. Your site was recommended to me for an answer.
We were having a Bible study about Solomon and the subject of having more than one wife was brought up. There were very few in our class (men) that said it was allright in the Bible, so it is alright now.
My answer to them was it wasn’t so in the beginning!!! In the beginning there was only one man and one woman. Many other men agreed that is right!!! I want as many answers as I can get to solve this matter once and for all.
–Laura G.
Response:
Dear Laura;
“My answer to them was it wasn’t so in the beginning!!!”
Do you eat meat? It wasn’t so in the beginning.
Do you wear clothing? It wasn’t so in the beginning.
Do you live in a dwelling? It wasn’t so in the beginning.
Have you ever experienced fear? It wasn’t so in the beginning.
Have you ever been deceived? It wasn’t so in the beginning.

–Mr. Parma

20.
Parma,
Just because I or anyone else doesn’t see things your way is no reason for you to try and destroy anyones faith and beliefs. You need to stop putting so much importance on trying to destroy someones faith. Why not try to be more tolerant of Christian’s beliefs?
–A.B.
Response:
A.B.;
You are in error. I do not try to destroy any ones faith or beliefs.
When people [like you] are confronted with evidence that their faith and beliefs could be wrong, their usual choice is to come to, and then state an assumption such as yours.
If ones faith and beliefs are in Jesus Christ only, they cannot be destroyed.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock: :25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. :26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: :27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
Everyone has the privilege and freedom to believe and have faith in what they choose.
Laws could be passed allowing no one to speak of, or acknowledge God. But these laws cannot stop one from thinking and believing in God by their faith.
“Why not try to be more tolerant of Christian’s beliefs?”
By tolerant of Christian’s beliefs, do you mean:
Overlook theological lies and deceit? Ignore anti-Christ teachings and doctrines? Forget about swindling and fraud? Accept sermons that poison and contaminate one’s mind? Allow the name of Jesus Christ to be smeared by religious theology? Pay no attention to Biblical facts? Take no notice of unbiblical traditions?

Disregard Scriptures that don’t agree with one’s religious beliefs? Close my eyes to Christian myths and fables? Pay no heed to truth? Do not take into account all of the misled Christians that are being deceived? Don’t say or do anything to help expose misinformation; [just pray about it instead]? Permit unbiblical pagan propaganda to mislead children? Sanction all of the above with money?
–Parma
