Antonio Q. Arnold
Hello, my name is Antonio Arnold; I am a father of three and a grandfather of three as well. I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I grew up in a black neighborhood on Halifax St. in the City of Petersburg, VA. I have 2 sisters and one brother. Since the death of my mother, my father raised the four of us by himself. My mother died when I was four years age. We grew up in an old house on 819 Halifax st. Petersburg. Our father was strict and he taught us to be strong and the importance of an education. He taught us to be independent and to be wised. Each of us graduated from high school and was able to at least attend college. My wife and I both attended and graduated from Virginia State University. I'm also a graduate from the Frederick L. Ray Biblical College where I earned both my Masters and Doctorial of Divinity. I took that same push to help me in the Air National Guard. I had completed a number of Air Force Courses from Utilities school to Advance Water Treatment School. I had served in the Air Guard for three years. While serving in the guard I was activated twice one for Hurricane Frances and Ivan in Florida 2004 and secondly for Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I had also served 9 years in the Army Reserve. So much has taken place around the world my prayer is for all the people who lost everything. I know God is with them. I'm currently serving in the Army Reserve as an Civil Affairs NCO takeing my skills and experience to help others. I’m looking forward towards a rewarding yet challenging opportunity. Enough talk about my past. I would like to share with you all my experience in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Most importantly I would like to honor my father and mother John and Blanche Arnold for their unending supports as I preached the word of God. I would like to remember my Grandmother who knew I would become a preacher when I was just a child. And in memory of my birth mother Gurline Byrd Arnold who has gave me so much love during my first four years of life on earth.
Introduction from the Writer
I would like to give honor to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Peace be unto you. My name is Rev. Antonio Arnold. I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m from Petersburg, Virginia serving the Lord as Assistant Pastor at The Lord Church Baptist Denomination. I received my calling to serve in the ministry of Jesus Christ in June 2000. I’d served as Associate Minister at Rising Mount Zion Baptist Church under my friend Pastor Bobby Taylor B.T. whom taught me so much in the Lord. I received my first education in ministries under Rev. Dr. Howard Moses Sr. and the Late Rev. Dr. Donald Johnson Sr. at the Frederick L. Ray Biblical College. I later earned a Bachelor Degree in Theology. From there I was inspired to complete my Bachelor of Individualized Studies Degree specializing in Manufacturing Technology from Virginia State University. While completing my degree from VSU I enrolled into the Graduate program at the Frederick L. Ray Biblical College where I continued and later graduated with a Master Degree in Divinity in 2004. I’d learned so much historically and practically about the word of God. I desire so much to learn more and more of God’s words. I immediately continued to proclaim God’s words and pursue the Doctorial Degree in Divinity. On August to much effort and faith the Lord has bless me with a Doctorial Degree in Divinity. . I’m also working on my Master of Business Administration specialized Human Resource Management from the University of Phoenix online.
I have a great deal of life experience in ministries and in the Military as well. I had served in the Army Reserve for 13 years and 3 years active duty in the Air National Guard (Air Force) Red Horse. I had participated in three humanitarian deployment, Hurricane Frances, Ivan in 2004 and Katrina in New Orleans, 2005.
Forward
I’d learned through God’s words these degrees come with great responsibilities. Much is given much is required. God has given me divine inspiration to proclaim his words without compromising to culture, traditions, society mainstream, politics and denominations. I strive to stay green and continue to learn his doctrine and no one else. To go against the main stream that has tarnished the church of Christ for so many years is my life focus. The church has become more and more a money making venture for a great deal of people even to the point pastors are giving God’s people to the devil for wealth, prestige, politics and power. The vision is not how large a facility you have or the number of pastors, minister and church congregation you control. The true vision should be salvation to all human kind and saving souls.
God called men to be leaders in the church, husband to a wife, father towards his children, men of good report. Not homosexual, child molesters, thieves, men hiding behind women Ministers and Pastors to hide their iniquities, and those men looking to perform a show.
I had seen the church give way to ordaining gays and lesbians as Pastors, allowing gay marriages, lying to God people submitting them to there own form of law and financial bondage. I had witness over the year’s money issues within the church, Minister and Pastors stealing money and God’s words from the congregation. Breaking up families and spreading confusions throughout the world.
I have seen churches in every corner but we have more confused people in and out of the congregations. I believe that hate, murder, homosexuals’ behavior, divorce, disobedient children and confusion is in every corner of society. This doesn’t make since. People are turning away from the church. I’m not saying this about every church but some of the churches are doing very little or nothing to save souls. I believe the problem is the church forgot about God and are submitted to the devil and money. There are people hurting due to the lack of compassion and charity. I also believe the church is dying. The church congregation has grown older and older since the late eighties. There are few and far in between young people attending worship service. I believe unfortunately the average age of an active worshiper attending mass service is between the ages of 45-70 years of age. The church body got to get its priority in order. Our children are being bombarded with sex, homosexual, violence from mainstream television, movies and our schools. We have openly gay television shows, movies, confusing our children. We have more crime, jails, and homeless than ever before. None of this was apparent during the eighties if not tolerated now it’s accepted. Where is the true church? We now are worshipping buildings and charismatic preachers instead of worshipping God Yahweh and the Son Jesus. Charismatic preachers have no power to heal or give salvation only the Word of God has the power to heal and save souls.
The Church is drifting further and further away from God. No one will take a stand on God’s words. This must stop!! We have lost prayer in school, people of Christ are being persecuted at work, the politician will not take a stand because of what they call political correctness or not to offend a devil worshiper, atheist and an anti Christ like the American Civil Liberty Union or ACLU. The Rich and powerful ACLU have one purpose and one purpose only; to drive Christ out of the United States if not the World. If they succeed it will be illegal to attend church to worship God. We will become a fascist and communist society. Faith, hope and charity will no longer be allowed in this nation if not the world.
Obtain a copy of the constitution and study God’s words. You will not find separate church and state in the constitution. The letter from Thomas Jefferson is being used by political lawyers, politicians and the ACLU to take what is sacred from you and that’s true freedom from the word of God which founded this great nation of ours. The Chaplin Corp in the military is in danger of being restricted from proclaiming God’s words as well as prayer restrictions. Read the Air Force or Army Times Nov 17th through the 21st Edition 2005.
It is my hope and prayer that this book will bring wisdom and understanding to all who desire understanding of God’s words. My prayers are for the readers to be inspired to come to an understanding of God’s words and not take this book out of contexts. The purpose of this book is to educate and spread the Gospel in one form or another. Every scripture comes from the King James Version Bible. There is no adding or taking away from the scriptures. My inspirations come from God to bring an understanding of his words to his people. I welcome all to read this book no matter what religion or way of life you believe in or live by. Please read this book with an open mind and do the research on your own.
For those readers who disagree, than my challenge to you are to study the word of God for yourself and pray for understanding. Know what you are doing and why you are doing it.
