the adl likes to lie about Pastor Peters the following is a copy and past of the lieing adl website. I find it is better to just watch him for yourself on youtube and www.scripturesforamerica.com and decide for your self. His Identity " Peter J. "Pete" Peters, a self-described rancher with a working ranch in Wyoming, was born and raised in western Nebraska, where he graduated from the University of Nebraska School of Agriculture. He subsequently earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business and Economics from Colorado State University and went to work for the United States Department of Agriculture. While in his early 30s, he received a Bachelor of Sacred Literature degree from the Church of Christ Bible Training School in Gering, Nebraska. Since 1977, Peters has been pastor of the LaPorte Church of Christ, a Christian Identity church with fewer than 100 parishioners in LaPorte, Colorado, a community on the banks of the Cache La Poudre River northwest of Fort Collins. From the pulpit, Peters has expounded prolifically on Identity's biblical views, which include the belief that Jews are spiritually degraded and pose a threat to civilization, that blacks and other people of color are inferior to whites, that homosexuals should be executed and that northern European whites and their American descendants are the "chosen people" of scriptural prophecy. While Peters and his church have been prominent in the Identity movement for years, he has of late disavowed the term "Identity" because of its negative connotations. His Web site now proclaims: "We are NOT 'Gay,' We are NOT Cannibals and We Certainly are NOT 'Identity.'" In an online article in 2000, Peters charged that "certain Jews of this day attempt to take the Israel truth labeled Identity and make it into racism, violence, Nazism and hatred in the minds of the populace." He argued that "just as it would neither be wise nor a good Christian witness to claim to be 'gay,' so it is with the label Identity. Now that the meaning has been transformed by our enemies, it is now foolish for one to call himself an 'Identity Christian.'" Peters described himself instead as "a Christian who is part of the restoration movement now underway -- a movement in which Christian Americans call themselves simply 'Christian.'" Promoting Scriptures for America Peters has promoted Scriptures for America Worldwide, the outreach arm of his church, as "dedicated to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to revealing to the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred peoples of the world their true Biblical identity." He alleges that the 12 tribes of Israel consist of "the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Celtic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples -- the peoples who comprise the white race which settled the North American continent, forming the bedrock population of the United States of America." He has said, "We are not 'Judeo-Christians' -- a term which is an oxymoron, if ever there was one. We neither follow nor promote the so-called 'Judeo-Christian ethic.' We are Christians." He has charged that "anti-Christ Jews" have "warred against the truth" to "demonize the label Christian." SFAW's ministry has been promoted through shortwave radio programs featuring Peters as well as programs on local radio stations in the United States. Peters launched a twice-weekly radio show called "Truth for The Times" in 1993; the program was pulled by the Keystone Inspirational Network in 1995 -- an action which Peters blamed in part on "the antichrist ADL" -- but subsequently returned to the air on several local stations. His signature "Scriptures for America" broadcast airs regularly on shortwave radio. Other SFAW outlets include a Web site, retreats and seminars, The Scriptures for America Worldwide Newsletter, pamphlets and audiocassettes of Peters' sermons as well as the messages of a number of like-minded extremists. The titles of Peters' tapes convey his conspiratorially anti-gay and anti-Jewish message: * "The Teachings of Jesus and the Jews on Judaism," promoted as "The Jews and Christ expose the antichrist teachings of Judaism." * "Will the Real Hate Group Please Stand Up?" -- "THEY control the media. THEY promote Hollywood filth. THEY are IMPOSTERS! THEY go unexposed by the church...and preachers of our land. Find out who THEY are." * "Skinheads -- S.O.S. Troops of the Right" * "Intolerance of, Discrimination Against and the Death Penalty for Homosexuals is prescribed in the Bible" * "The Aids Plague Farce" Scriptures for America audiocassette tapes by others have included: "The Six Million Holocaust" by Ernst Zundel, a pro-Nazi propagandist and Holocaust denier; "The Point of No Return" by Jack Mohr, a Mississippi-based anti-Jewish propagandist and Identity adherent; and "The Greatest Conspiracy" by Earl Jones, a New Mexico-based Identity minister. Building a Reputation Peters and his church first came to national attention in 1985 when Colorado newspapers reported that several members of The Order, the most violent far-right terrorist group of the 1980s, had attended the LaPorte Church of Christ during their criminal heyday. Subsequent investigation into The Order's activities revealed a string of firebombings, armed robberies, counterfeiting and the execution of one of their own members suspected of disloyalty. In 1987 two members of The Order were convicted and sentenced to prison terms of 150 years in connection with the murder in June 1984 of Alan Berg, a Jewish talk-show host in Denver. Several months earlier, in February 1984, Peters, along with Jack Mohr, appeared on Berg's program and Berg angrily confronted the two men about their white supremacist views. The next episode of public exposure for the church was more mundane but threatened its operations and reputation. In 1988, it became immersed in a local tax dispute, following its purchase of $1,040 worth of radio and newspaper ads to help defeat a ballot initiative extending civil rights protection to gays and lesbians in nearby Fort Collins, Colorado. In July 1989, the Colorado secretary of state ruled, in connection with the ads, that the church had failed to comply with campaign reform law and instituted a $10-a-day fine until required forms were filed and taxes paid. (The state's Campaign Reform Act requires groups that seek donations or make expenditures for political campaigns to file organizational and financial documents with the Secretary of State's office, which Peters refused to do.) In November 1992, after appeals by the church failed, and the daily penalty had grown to more than $10,000, the state seized the church's savings account of $3,805. In February 1993, church equipment was taken to pay the balance of the fine and in May 1993 the state put the equipment up for auction. The Coloradoan of Ft. Collins reported that the state turned out to be the lone bidder for the goods and that its bid covered the fines and ended the controversy. Peters never submitted the campaign disclosure forms or paid the taxes and he claimed victory. In an ad in The Coloradoan, Peters said: "We have not settled in any way. We do not settle with extortionists and petty church thieves." Retreats and Conferences For several years, Peters has hosted Scriptures for America Bible retreats, "Family Bible Camp Conferences" and seminars that have attracted prominent figures on the extreme right. Peters' invitees have included Robert Brock, a black separatist who has been affiliated with Liberty Lobby, speaking in favor of the "Pace Amendment" (which aimed to repatriate to their places of origin African Americans and other "nonwhites," including Jews, Arabs and Hispanics); Richard Kelly Hoskins, an Identity ideologue who commin-gles anti-Semitism and racism with financial advice; Earl Jones, the Identity minister who heads Christian Crusade for Truth in Deming, New Mexico; and David Barley, head of America's Promise Ministries, an Identity group in Sandpoint, Idaho. In October 1992, Peters used his extensive far-right connections to convene a meeting in Estes Park, Colorado, that addressed the federal siege of white supremacist Randy Weaver's mountainside hideaway in Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Among the 160 in attendance were Richard G. Butler, founder and leader of Aryan Nations, and Louis Beam, an official of Aryan Nations and a former KKK Grand Dragon. At the meeting, the conferees formed a SWAT (Sacred Warfare Action Tactics) committee "to evaluate what our people would be forced to consider should tyranny and despotism become the order of the day." The SWAT committee recommended an essay by Beam in which he outlined a concept of "leaderless resistance," the formation of small, secret cells of violent activism directed against the federal government and its perceived allies -- a strategy now championed by a number of extremist leaders. The meeting has been seen by many observers as a watershed in the anti-government movement of the 1990s. Peters' promotional material for this "Special Gathering of Christian Men" was notable for its comparison of Weaver, and by extension all white supremacists, to victims of Nazism. In a flier, Peters depicted two possible responses to the Ruby Ridge incident -- apathy or engagement. To illustrate the first, he rephrased Martin Niemoller's famous anti-Nazi elegy: "They came for what they called WHITE Supremacists and WHITE Separatists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't one. Then they came for what they called radicals, right wingers and constitutionalists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't one of those either.... Then the New World Order came for me and by that time there was no one left to speak up." By contrast, portraying those who responded forcefully, Peters wrote: "They came for the alleged WHITE SUPREMACISTS and shed the innocent blood of a mother and her child. Then Christian men went to a Colorado mountain as one man before the God of their fathers to take counsel and speak up and to do what was right in the eyes of the Lord." Peters concluded by asking, "Now guess who is coming for who?" Peters has also participated in forums and retreats sponsored by other Identity groups, including America's Promise Ministries, and The Jubilee, a California-based Identity newspaper. At The Jubilee's Jubilation '96 gathering, which was held in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Peters allegedly pulled out a white yarmulke, placed it on his head and performed a grotesque impression, then took it off, spit on it, wiped it across the seat of his pants and threw it on the floor. He reportedly received a standing ovation from the 500 attendees. On Jews and Judaism Peters has compiled a substantial record of anti-Jewish sentiment: * In a 1990 sermon, he insinuated, in the form of questions, stereo-typically conspiratorial views of Jewish power: "Is there a Jewish conspiracy against America? Do Jews control America's media? Do Jews have a death grip on America's government? Are Jews left-wing, liberal anti-gunners? Do Jews cry anti-Semitism as a weapon to suppress the truth? Are Jews wanting to disarm Americans? [sic] Do Jews prevent a free press in America? Are Jews against freedom in America? Do Jews want total people control? Are Jews liars? Do Jews want to put America under tyranny? Must Jews leave America if America is to survive? "These are all questions that you can answer from 'The Inadvertent Confessions of a Jew,' the message of this cassette tape," Peters said. * In July 1996, in a cover story about Identity in Media Bypass, a conspiracy-oriented magazine, Peters was quoted as saying: "Identity is the only Christian faith left in this country that opposes and exposes the myth of Judaism." Also in 1996, in an article entitled "Framing Deceit," Peters stated: "All my life, I had been told the lie that the modern-day people we call 'Jews' were God's Chosen People: the literal descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... But my own lengthy studies convinced me that they were instead an altogether different race, the very instigators of the leftist, socialist tides sweeping America." * In a 1998 Scriptures for America newsletter, Peters quoted from The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a notorious anti-Semitic forgery, calling it "a blue- print for world conquest" which he was making available "for a $9.00 offering." In a piece entitled "What Christians Need To Know Concerning The Proposed New World Order," Peters complained: "The truth concerning the Jewish push for their socialistic, communistic, antichrist, One-World government is difficult to get out since they control the media and use the hysterical smear label (and misnomer) of anti-Semitism when ever someone has the courage to shed light on their evil deeds. Plus, most (particularly ministers) cower for 'Fear of the Jew'." [sic] On Purported Jewish Conspiracies Although now avoiding the Identity label, Peters continues to warn of purported Jewish conspiracies. He has proclaimed on his Scriptures for America site: The same wealthy, anti-Christ sect which categorizes evangelistic efforts of Baptists as 'coercion, hatred and violence,' has appointed itself a monitor of what it terms 'hate groups.' It spends vast sums writing propaganda against these groups and distributing its propaganda to law enforcement agencies across the land. The same sect is in control of the nation's news and entertainment media, which it also uses to disseminate its propaganda. To the same end, in a 2000 SFAW newsletter, Peters took note of the national conventions of the major political parties and warned, "Christians, Beware of the Esoteric Message by Hillary Rodham Clinton." He stated: "In Hillary's speech at the Democratic convention, she said of Al Gore and his Jewish running mate -- 'They have what it takes and they'll do what it takes.'" He added: "Esoterically, this rod of Ham was telling her people that the man she was endorsing had what it takes to advance the Jewish, Communist dream of one world government....When she said 'they'll do what it takes', she was telling her people, these men will not hesitate to implement any means to meet the desired end." (It should also be noted that Peters's wife Cheri, who died of cancer in October 1998, was an active participant in the ministry, writing a column for Scriptures for America entitled "For Women Only." Her writings merged hostility toward traditional feminism with anti-Semitism: in a 1989 column, for instance, she referred to abortion clinics as places where women are "abused and mutilated by Talmudic butchers." Peters remarried in 1999.) In January 2001, Scriptures for America's Web site began publication of Identity leader Jack Mohr's writings and indicated that printed copies of his work could be obtained from the group. Included in Mohr's materials on the site was a "Fall Intelligence Report -- 2000" which charged: "Today, we see a planned, vicious attack against White society. This is all part of the plan by International Zionism, as outlined in their Holy Book, the Talmud, to destroy White Christian Civilization. In spite of all denials to the contrary, it is there to see, for those who are willing to look." Conclusion For Peters, battling the Jewish plot for world domination and vaunting the superiority of right-believing white Christians is an all-encompassing spiritual commitment. As his success in organizing other Identity and far-right activists; in disseminating hundreds of sermons, tracts and articles and in maintaining a regular media presence all indicate, he has been able to connect with a substantial audience. Given his ability to refine his message as circumstances demand, he seems likely to remain a significant presence on the far right. " adl lie website

Troops of the Right" * "Intolerance of, Discrimination Against and the Death Penalty for Homosexuals is prescribed in the Bible" * "The Aids Plague Farce" Scriptures for America audiocassette tapes by others have included: "The Six Million Holocaust" by Ernst Zundel, a pro-Nazi propagandist and Holocaust denier; "The Point of No Return" by Jack Mohr, a Mississippi-based anti-Jewish propagandist and Identity adherent; and "The Greatest Conspiracy" by Earl Jones, a New Mexico-based Identity minister. Building a Reputation Peters and his church first came to national attention in 1985 when Colorado newspapers reported that several members of The Order, the most violent far-right terrorist group of the 1980s, had attended the LaPorte Church of Christ during their criminal heyday. Subsequent investigation into The Order's activities revealed a string of firebombings, armed robberies, counterfeiting and the execution of one of their own members suspected of disloyalty. In 1987 two members of The Order were convicted and sentenced to prison terms of 150 years in connection with the murder in June 1984 of Alan Berg, a Jewish talk-show host in Denver. Several months earlier, in February 1984, Peters, along with Jack Mohr, appeared on Berg's program and Berg angrily confronted the two men about their white supremacist views. The next episode of public exposure for the church was more mundane but threatened its operations and reputation. In 1988, it became immersed in a local tax dispute, following its purchase of $1,040 worth of radio and newspaper ads to help defeat a ballot initiative extending civil rights protection to gays and lesbians in nearby Fort Collins, Colorado. In July 1989, the Colorado secretary of state ruled, in connection with the ads, that the church had failed to comply with campaign reform law and instituted a $10-a-day fine until required forms were filed and taxes paid. (The state's Campaign Reform Act requires groups that seek donations or make expenditures for political campaigns to file organizational and financial documents with the Secretary of State's office, which Peters refused to do.) In November 1992, after appeals by the church failed, and the daily penalty had grown to more than $10,000, the state seized the church's savings account of $3,805. In February 1993, church equipment was taken to pay the balance of the fine and in May 1993 the state put the equipment up for auction. The Coloradoan of Ft. Collins reported that the state turned out to be the lone bidder for the goods and that its bid covered the fines and ended the controversy. Peters never submitted the campaign disclosure forms or paid the taxes and he claimed victory. In an ad in The Coloradoan, Peters said: "We have not settled in any way. We do not settle with extortionists and petty church thieves." Retreats and Conferences For several years, Peters has hosted Scriptures for America Bible retreats, "Family Bible Camp Conferences" and seminars that have attracted prominent figures on the extreme right. Peters' invitees have included Robert Brock, a black separatist who has been affiliated with Liberty Lobby, speaking in favor of the "Pace Amendment" (which aimed to repatriate to their places of origin African Americans and other "nonwhites," including Jews, Arabs and Hispanics); Richard Kelly Hoskins, an Identity ideologue who commin-gles anti-Semitism and racism with financial advice; Earl Jones, the Identity minister who heads Christian Crusade for Truth in Deming, New Mexico; and David Barley, head of America's Promise Ministries, an Identity group in Sandpoint, Idaho. In October 1992, Peters used his extensive far-right connections to convene a meeting in Estes Park, Colorado, that addressed the federal siege of white supremacist Randy Weaver's mountainside hideaway in Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Among the 160 in attendance were Richard G. Butler, founder and leader of Aryan Nations, and Louis Beam, an official of Aryan Nations and a former KKK Grand Dragon. At the meeting, the conferees formed a SWAT (Sacred Warfare Action Tactics) committee "to evaluate what our people would be forced to consider should tyranny and despotism become the order of the day." The SWAT committee recommended an essay by Beam in which he outlined a concept of "leaderless resistance," the formation of small, secret cells of violent activism directed against the federal government and its perceived allies -- a strategy now championed by a number of extremist leaders. The meeting has been seen by many observers as a watershed in the anti-government movement of the 1990s. Peters' promotional material for this "Special Gathering of Christian Men" was notable for its comparison of Weaver, and by extension all white supremacists, to victims of Nazism. In a flier, Peters depicted two possible responses to the Ruby Ridge incident -- apathy or engagement. To illustrate the first, he rephrased Martin Niemoller's famous anti-Nazi elegy: "They came for what they called WHITE Supremacists and WHITE Separatists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't one. Then they came for what they called radicals, right wingers and constitutionalists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't one of those either.... Then the New World Order came for me and by that time there was no one left to speak up." By contrast, portraying those who responded forcefully, Peters wrote: "They came for the alleged WHITE SUPREMACISTS and shed the innocent blood of a mother and her child. Then Christian men went to a Colorado mountain as one man before the God of their fathers to take counsel and speak up and to do what was right in the eyes of the Lord." Peters concluded by asking, "Now guess who is coming for who?" Peters has also participated in forums and retreats sponsored by other Identity groups, including America's Promise Ministries, and The Jubilee, a California-based Identity newspaper. At The Jubilee's Jubilation '96 gathering, which was held in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Peters allegedly pulled out a white yarmulke, placed it on his head and performed a grotesque impression, then took it off, spit on it, wiped it across the seat of his pants and threw it on the floor. He reportedly received a standing ovation from the 500 attendees. On Jews and Judaism Peters has compiled a substantial record of anti-Jewish sentiment: * In a 1990 sermon, he insinuated, in the form of questions, stereo-typically conspiratorial views of Jewish power: "Is there a Jewish conspiracy against America? Do Jews control America's media? Do Jews have a death grip on America's government? Are Jews left-wing, liberal anti-gunners? Do Jews cry anti-Semitism as a weapon to suppress the truth? Are Jews wanting to disarm Americans? [sic] Do Jews prevent a free press in America? Are Jews against freedom in America? Do Jews want total people control? Are Jews liars? Do Jews want to put America under tyranny? Must Jews leave America if America is to survive? "These are all questions that you can answer from 'The Inadvertent Confessions of a Jew,' the message of this cassette tape," Peters said. * In July 1996, in a cover story about Identity in Media Bypass, a conspiracy-oriented magazine, Peters was quoted as saying: "Identity is the only Christian faith left in this country that opposes and exposes the myth of Judaism." Also in 1996, in an article entitled "Framing Deceit," Peters stated: "All my life, I had been told the lie that the modern-day people we call 'Jews' were God's Chosen People: the literal descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... But my own lengthy studies convinced me that they were instead an altogether different race, the very instigators of the leftist, socialist tides sweeping America." * In a 1998 Scriptures for America newsletter, Peters quoted from The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a notorious anti-Semitic forgery, calling it "a blue- print for world conquest" which he was making available "for a $9.00 offering." In a piece entitled "What Christians Need To Know Concerning The Proposed New World Order," Peters complained: "The truth concerning the Jewish push for their socialistic, communistic, antichrist, One-World government is difficult to get out since they control the media and use the hysterical smear label (and misnomer) of anti-Semitism when ever someone has the courage to shed light on their evil deeds. Plus, most (particularly ministers) cower for 'Fear of the Jew'." [sic] On Purported Jewish Conspiracies Although now avoiding the Identity label, Peters continues to warn of purported Jewish conspiracies. He has proclaimed on his Scriptures for America site: The same wealthy, anti-Christ sect which categorizes evangelistic efforts of Baptists as 'coercion, hatred and violence,' has appointed itself a monitor of what it terms 'hate groups.' It spends vast sums writing propaganda against these groups and distributing its propaganda to law enforcement agencies across the land. The same sect is in control of the nation's news and entertainment media, which it also uses to disseminate its propaganda. To the same end, in a 2000 SFAW newsletter, Peters took note of the national conventions of the major political parties and warned, "Christians, Beware of the Esoteric Message by Hillary Rodham Clinton." He stated: "In Hillary's speech at the Democratic convention, she said of Al Gore and his Jewish running mate -- 'They have what it takes and they'll do what it takes.'" He added: "Esoterically, this rod of Ham was telling her people that the man she was endorsing had what it takes to advance the Jewish, Communist dream of one world government....When she said 'they'll do what it takes', she was telling her people, these men will not hesitate to implement any means to meet the desired end." (It should also be noted that Peters's wife Cheri, who died of cancer in October 1998, was an active participant in the ministry, writing a column for Scriptures for America entitled "For Women Only." Her writings merged hostility toward traditional feminism with anti-Semitism: in a 1989 column, for instance, she referred to abortion clinics as places where women are "abused and mutilated by Talmudic butchers." Peters remarried in 1999.) In January 2001, Scriptures for America's Web site began publication of Identity leader Jack Mohr's writings and indicated that printed copies of his work could be obtained from the group. Included in Mohr's materials on the site was a "Fall Intelligence Report -- 2000" which charged: "Today, we see a planned, vicious attack against White society. This is all part of the plan by International Zionism, as outlined in their Holy Book, the Talmud, to destroy White Christian Civilization. In spite of all denials to the contrary, it is there to see, for those who are willing to look." Conclusion For Peters, battling the Jewish plot for world domination and vaunting the superiority of right-believing white Christians is an all-encompassing spiritual commitment. As his success in organizing other Identity and far-right activists; in disseminating hundreds of sermons, tracts and articles and in maintaining a regular media presence all indicate, he has been able to connect with a substantial audience. Given his ability to refine his message as circumstances demand, he seems likely to remain a significant presence on the far right. " adl lie website

the adl likes to lie about Pastor Peters the following is a copy and past of the lieing adl website. I find it is better to just watch him for yourself on youtube and www.scripturesforamerica.com and decide for your self. His Identity " Peter J. "Pete" Peters, a self-described rancher with a working ranch in Wyoming, was born and raised in western Nebraska, where he graduated from the University of Nebraska School of Agriculture. He subsequently earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business and Economics from Colorado State University and went to work for the United States Department of Agriculture. While in his early 30s, he received a Bachelor of Sacred Literature degree from the Church of Christ Bible Training School in Gering, Nebraska. Since 1977, Peters has been pastor of the LaPorte Church of Christ, a Christian Identity church with fewer than 100 parishioners in LaPorte, Colorado, a community on the banks of the Cache La Poudre River northwest of Fort Collins. From the pulpit, Peters has expounded prolifically on Identity's biblical views, which include the belief that Jews are spiritually degraded and pose a threat to civilization, that blacks and other people of color are inferior to whites, that homosexuals should be executed and that northern European whites and their American descendants are the "chosen people" of scriptural prophecy. While Peters and his church have been prominent in the Identity movement for years, he has of late disavowed the term "Identity" because of its negative connotations. His Web site now proclaims: "We are NOT 'Gay,' We are NOT Cannibals and We Certainly are NOT 'Identity.'" In an online article in 2000, Peters charged that "certain Jews of this day attempt to take the Israel truth labeled Identity and make it into racism, violence, Nazism and hatred in the minds of the populace." He argued that "just as it would neither be wise nor a good Christian witness to claim to be 'gay,' so it is with the label Identity. Now that the meaning has been transformed by our enemies, it is now foolish for one to call himself an 'Identity Christian.'" Peters described himself instead as "a Christian who is part of the restoration movement now underway -- a movement in which Christian Americans call themselves simply 'Christian.'" Promoting Scriptures for America Peters has promoted Scriptures for America Worldwide, the outreach arm of his church, as "dedicated to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to revealing to the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred peoples of the world their true Biblical identity." He alleges that the 12 tribes of Israel consist of "the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Celtic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples -- the peoples who comprise the white race which settled the North American continent, forming the bedrock population of the United States of America." He has said, "We are not 'Judeo-Christians' -- a term which is an oxymoron, if ever there was one. We neither follow nor promote the so-called 'Judeo-Christian ethic.' We are Christians." He has charged that "anti-Christ Jews" have "warred against the truth" to "demonize the label Christian." SFAW's ministry has been promoted through shortwave radio programs featuring Peters as well as programs on local radio stations in the United States. Peters launched a twice-weekly radio show called "Truth for The Times" in 1993; the program was pulled by the Keystone Inspirational Network in 1995 -- an action which Peters blamed in part on "the antichrist ADL" -- but subsequently returned to the air on several local stations. His signature "Scriptures for America" broadcast airs regularly on shortwave radio. Other SFAW outlets include a Web site, retreats and seminars, The Scriptures for America Worldwide Newsletter, pamphlets and audiocassettes of Peters' sermons as well as the messages of a number of like-minded extremists. The titles of Peters' tapes convey his conspiratorially anti-gay and anti-Jewish message: * "The Teachings of Jesus and the Jews on Judaism," promoted as "The Jews and Christ expose the antichrist teachings of Judaism." * "Will the Real Hate Group Please Stand Up?" -- "THEY control the media. THEY promote Hollywood filth. THEY are IMPOSTERS! THEY go unexposed by the church...and preachers of our land. Find out who THEY are." * "Skinheads -- S.O.S. Troops of the Right" * "Intolerance of, Discrimination Against and the Death Penalty for Homosexuals is prescribed in the Bible" * "The Aids Plague Farce" Scriptures for America audiocassette tapes by others have included: "The Six Million Holocaust" by Ernst Zundel, a pro-Nazi propagandist and Holocaust denier; "The Point of No Return" by Jack Mohr, a Mississippi-based anti-Jewish propagandist and Identity adherent; and "The Greatest Conspiracy" by Earl Jones, a New Mexico-based Identity minister.

Pastor Peters explains how spell casting, dialectical materialism, and double-mindedness works and how it s being used to try to remove scripture concerning homosexuals out of the Bible. Also, he will talk some about what is needed for prayers of faith concerning the sick. by Pastor Peter J. Peters There are many lies presented to us as people and many, if not most, of those people believe. The one we advertise in an Another Untold Story broadcast is the lie that gas prices are increasing and that the cost of a gallon of gas has increased. Tied to their lie is the lie that there is a fuel shortage. I have a question for you. Could you be one of those that God wants to believe a lie? Many lies are believed in the present age we live in, the last days that the apostle Paul wrote about. This is what he wrote but we emphasize the part about deception. But realize this, that in the last days difficult time will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed own with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected as regards the faith. But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, as also that of those two came to be. But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance, persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me! And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them; and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. - 2 Tim 3:1-4:1 (NASB) Now here is one thing about deception you need to consider. Have you ever known anyone who was deceived that knew he or she was deceived? Of course, not! If one knew one was deceived, then you would not be deceived [as to what to do about that, we'll talk more later in the broadcast]. Now to the deception that gas prices have been, and are going up, and the deception that there is a gas shortage. I just happened to notice the other day, in town, the building of a new gas station. If there is a gas shortage why are they building another gas station? The truth is, it is not the price of gas going up but the value of the money going down. The truth is the cost of a gallon of gasoline has remained constant over the past fifty years. Fifty years ago you could buy four gallons of gas for a dollar and you still can today. Today a silver dollar is valued at about seventeen Federal Reserve notes and seventeen Federal Reserve notes will buy about four gallons of gas. Thus if you have a silver dollar it will buy four gallons of gas. Fifty years ago a silver dollar would buy four gallons of gas or a dollar bill (which was then a silver certificate) would buy four gallons of gas. What we call a dollar bill today will not, because we have had robbed from us its purchasing power. The robbers doesn t want you to know of the robbery so they have sold you the lie that there is a gas shortage and the lie that gas prices are increasing. Now all this has a spiritual, scriptural significance that Jews understand. Understand that those who are lying to you are good at it for they are of their father the devil. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar, and that father of lies. - John 8:44-45 Understand their job on earth is to lie, steal, kill, and destroy. The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. - John 10:10-11 And understand this, the God of the Bible is using them to lie to you and steal from you in order to have His will carried out on the earth. You see, it is actually God s will for you to believe a lie - if! It is actually God s will for you to be stolen from - if? If you don t want to be lied to and caught up and deceived by lies, then you need to know the if . If you don t want to be stolen from then you need to know the if . God s word, the Bible, makes it very clear that if His people will not receive a love of the truth. He would send them a deluding influence. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: -2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 (KJV) Jesus Christ, His son, is the truth. Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. - John 14:5-7 (NASB) If the people are not going to love Him, believe Him, hang on and obey His every word, they do not receive a love of the truth, and thus will be sent by God a deluding influence and made to believe a lie. By the way, the lies they believe are everywhere in their lives. They believe public schools are there to give their children an education, yet Johnny can t read or do math after twelve years of it. They think donating money to cancer research is to stop cancer, when it is really to stop cancer cures. They think churches are for truth and against sin, yet we have more churches than ever and less truth and more sin than ever. They think the government really is fighting a war on crime and poverty etc. As for the robbery it has left in the peoples minds that once upon a time their money had so much purchasing power their dads and/or granddads could buy a small three bedroom home with a yard, raise four children, and keep the mother at home on a salary of $0.65 per hour working fifty hours per week. The value of the money has been taken and taken in such a deceptive way no one notices. No one even asks what happened to all the gold and silver that was once in their society. Someone got it! It didn t go out of existence. Now, the spiritual significance of this is God s will for His people if His people are not going to follow His law. The LORD will smite you with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart; and you shall grope at noon, as the blind man gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; but you shall only be oppressed and robbed continually, with none to save you. - Deuteronomy 28:28-30 (NASB) By the way, the whole nation has been robbing God of His tithe so is it any wonder the people are now being robbed? Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, How have we robbed Thee? In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes, says the LORD of hosts. And all the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land, says the LORD of hosts. - Malachi 3:8-12 (NASB)

Jesus made it clear when He said, Truly I say to you unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3). Children have no problems believing in magic. Perhaps that s why the Harry Potter books are the best selling of children s books. Children have always loved fairy tales because they are of magic, magicians, witches, spells, etc. There is a hidden agenda behind the great selling books about Harry Potter. It is sold as fiction and marketed as fiction, but the truth is magic is not fiction. The Harry Potter books have and F on the spine for it to stand as fiction (i.e. not true), but the truth is magic truly does exist and truly does work. That s the same satanic plot of Satan behind all those Disneyland fairytale cartoons; they are used to make us think it s all just a fairy tale. That is the hidden satanic purpose behind magic shows or magic acts as they are called. A more modern day term for a magician is illusionist. The hidden agenda of Satan is to make people believe it s all an act; it s all an illusion. In other words, today the majority of the population just does not believe in magic, does not believe magic exists, does not believe that the magic works, even though there is a phrase well familiar to them works like magic. And even though the Bible teaches there is such a thing as magic and that magic works. Except we become like a child, we cannot have the Kingdom. A child has no problem believing in magic. The problem with God s people today is they have lost their child-like faith and thus do not really believe their Bible. It s a magic spell or the deceptive sorcery of Babylon (Revelation 18:23). They don t even believe there really are such things as witches, though the Bible teaches there are; see Deuteronomy 18:16 and Exodus 22:18 (and even though their country is full of them, full of witchcraft organizations, witchcraft books, etc).
