this letter was sent to calvaryftl.org , an organization/church that was advised of Tom Papania and his fraud in the beginning of 1997 by a brother and minister well respected and a friend of this org/church [ Christian Radio ]. Rather than do anything, they REBUKED the messenger! And, when the messenger discovered the original page that featured Tom papania [before EZnewsTV took over] and notified the same calvaryftl.org of all the facts and truth, calvaryftl.org wrote back , once more REBUKING the messenger with the advise to be HUMBLE? in humility correcting those who are in opposition As if the Tom Papania story was one of EARTHLY MANLY OPPOSITION rather than that of the greatest battle of them all, that of Good against Evil! *************** Cc: RUREvents@aol.com ; Richard Mendoza carl@calvaryftl.or ; mark@calvaryftl.org Sent: Monday, January 31, 2000 8:55 PM Subject: in humility correcting those who are in opposition Vs let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. "And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:24-26) " Greetings John : I have placed the scripture above which I discovered on your web site. It is a powerful scripture; one signifying the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ-- by action thought and word. I must praise your choice... Yet, I cannot seem to correlate this scripture and the e mail you sent to [edit]? After all, all [ edit] desired was to halt a man whom was and is misleading the entire Christian Body... and for money at that... what of the word REBUKE? For, the above scripture seems to me, one not trained in such manners against the years of education in the Word one like yourself is, to mean in general aspirations of teaching and delivering the Word of God and not in the case of REBUKING... Lets see, you DID rebuke [ edit]? No? You said "when will you learn to be humble..." I ask thee, when will thee learn SCRIPTURE////// In fact, it WAS [ edit] whom informed you and yours to the wholesale fraud of one Thomas Papagni, better known as Tom Papania, From The Mafia To The Ministry several YEARS ago... In fact, it WAS [ edit] whom came to you as a faithful brother years ago and asked that you take a serious look into this person, aka: Tom Papania, BEFORE allowing him to mount the Pulpit and continue on his way to February 2000.... Yes, it was you and yours whom CHOSE not to see the truth , and allowed this man to stand upon Holy Ground and tell his story, a story may I say that was not only false, but containing entire chapters of another Christian's life story and book. I cannot help but to tell you I suffered my entire life, my mother suffered, my siblings suffered and we went through a life you could not nor would not imagine. Yes, do not tell me about YOUR life, for I have lived one hundred times in lifetimes and came unto Christ Jesus and thought that there was truly a Body Of Christ On Earth only to see you and yours performing destruction and perversion of both scripture and the very earthly lives of our brothers and sisters! Just HOW Humble was Christ Jesus when He entered the Temple and cast the Money Lenders out and into the very streets with so much power that they left their very purses upon the ground? How simple it is for thee to snatch a word of truth and use it as thy defense against conviction in sin! Now, had you and all the others simply read your Book Of Life and Truth, the book of The Holy Word that is the very life and heart of the Christian faith, you would discover that Jesus, our Mighty yet Humble Lord and Savior left us with a written word that is undeniably all one requires when faced with difficult Decisions. And, these Words of Truth are in COMPILATION not SIGNALIZATION! Each scripture is written in a CONTEXT of events and deliver MEANING for SITUATION... even I, a humble in the word New Born is bright enough with the LIGHT of the HOLY SPIRIT to know if we allow evil, evil will RULE. AND THAT RULE will effect others.. and most of those others will be our very Brothers and Sisters! Throughout the Good Book, that Book of TRUTH and REVELATION and PROPHESY we discover men of GOD performing, doing, saying TEACHING! Did not Christ REBUKE? Where is THY REBUKE TO THY OWN WHOM HAVE CONTINUED THIS HARM AND DECEPTION? Have you ANY idea what you and yours have consecrated? Are you listening to the Holy Father? For I come to you with HIS NAME in my thoughts and mind and heart. My brothers and sisters privy to this letter would rather I be humble as your posted scripture. They advise and love and inform and preach what is GOOD, I on the other hand feel and know and believe that we must at times REBUKE! How could you send your brother a letter saying he is not humble enough.. what happened to this humble at the moment thought as 20/20 and other major news orgs get ready to blast the very KINGDOM for the continuance of this fraud placed on the backs of millions of Christians whom ARE HUMBLE? Tell me brother? What of the trial and the press that will soon say" "Look at Pat Robertson, Dr. Dobson, Charisma Magazine RUE Events and one of the most powerful churches, Calvary Church of Ft Lauderdale" .. look at the fraud they supported by IGNORING, and in many circumstances out right HIDING the TRUTH so that they could reap the reward of such testimony as that of Tom Papania? Are you aware my brother that YOUR BEST FRIEND AND BROTHER came unto you at a time that you and yours could have halted this transgression? And, allow me to say, I have worked 20 hours a day 7 days a week to keep our ministry afloat. I have withstood the hate and the revenge and the sorrow I felt each and every day in my battle to simply halt this man. Yes, I gave up millions, and penthouses and chose a 1967 mobile home with 27 coats of plastic tarp and NEVER COMPLAINED and was in JOY and worked every day with our Lord to make other's lives full with Christ and Blessings only to see MAN COME ALONG FROM THE VERY EVIL I AND MINE HAVE BATTLED FOR FORTY YEARS AND NEARLY SNATCH IT AWAY! Yes, because you and yours and others whom based their findings on you and yours I have seen my wife come home so tired she flops on the couch and falls into deep sleep! From you and yours I have witnessed my daughter go without.. and yet I thank Jesus for all my blessings.. yet cannot understand and pray each and every day for wisdom. You, my brother, I forgive, and I forgive Tom Papania, yet I cannot simply take your action without rebuke. YOU OWE [ edit] AN APOLOGY.. simple and fact. Where is THY humbleness?? And if you believed that [ edit] was wrong, where is THY forgiveness. Yet the proof [ edit] offered was never even verified. For if one simply received a copy of the news paper, one would have witnessed the fraud of tom. And then, I and mine would not be waking to do battle and going to bed unto battle and having to waste that precious time in our limited earthly vessels to pursue the truth so that we may be set free.. you and yours have transgressed our very Love and Honor and Happiness in our Fathers name.. shame on you. You know, there are several [edited] that offer only the Best in the Word.. pure forgiveness and love, I pray that they understand that Spiritual Warriors in Jesus name are not simply here to do battle in Spirit.,.,., but in WORD! I ask you to READ the red letters below and then pray for forgiveness...You have rebuked the Watchman! How terrible it is for many of us whom never knew Christ Jesus and then to come unto Him and then witness what you and yours are doing with and TO His word. We begin to see another side to this new, yet timeless Temple wrought with the Pharisees of our Time.. yes, the Word of God is Timeless and repeats its message for those whom desire change and love and brotherhood. WHAT have thee done to His Messenger> I ask Thee what has THY DONE to thy brother whom came unto thee and asked thee and said to thee "a brother has offended thee".. Did ye witness? Did thee confront? Did thee bring before the Body Of Christ? NO! They self righteousness allowed a GOOD MAN as [ edit] to suffer for several years! Was [ edit] the "Christ Cop" I have heard him called? NO! [ edit] chose to place his very life on the line for the Body Of Christ! Amazing! Yes, He Allowed Himself to say what no other Christian WOULD and suffered for this. His shall be rewarded .. imagine, we NOW see what Jesus meant! Yes, blameless and powerful in the Holy Spirit was [ edit] and it shall be my blessing to see him at the very Throne...happiness and faithful and changed and loving.. you and yours have HURT these lovely people! Did you think of [edit]?? Did you?? I cannot believe that when we sinners come unto Christ we see the truth.. amazing.. you allowed a liar and sinner to mount the very Holy Place, that of the decision of thy SPONSORSHIP by men of God whom are followed because of stature verse God.. And so, what "little" hurt was the recompenses of your decision to allow a man of lies and of cunning theft and of blasphemy get to the point of actually destroying on earth the love and blessings of a New Born and his family? Yes, you are reading correctly! BLASPHEMY> What sin may NEVER be forgiven? What did Jesus tell us? When Tom gets up on that podium of the sacrificial living lamb and says that "GOD REACHED INTO THE PITS OF HELL...AND GRABBED ME" he in fact is speaking of Lucifer! Are you aware of what your choice has accomplished? We are but a small, insignificant by your "standards" group of believers whom give all for our Lord.. and are happy to do so. Yet, this man Tom Papania has stolen entire chapters of a book, a book may I say that was the only blessing in a long list of trial and tribulation, a book may I say that many souls had lived in poverty and shame and hurt, a book that was and is important if to none other than those whose stories rest between its yellowed by time and sin pages, a book that was a finality, a coming to, a rational and live changing memory ... and used these at the cost of funding for our ministry.. hurt, harm and many years of additional tribulation,,, And when we asked the Church, abiding by the WORD of GOD, we were blacklisted, called heretics, and told we were wrong to even suggest that Tom was not whom he said he was... And then we discover another Brother had sounded the trumpet! yes, another had sent the warning.. telegraphing it by every means possible, and no one, not you nor those whom say they are anointed... Yes, not one of you pastors and ministers and evangelists could care one iota.. you just went about your rebuking as if too shut up the very Word Of God! HOW CARE YOU BROTHER?! Say that I am not humble.. say that I am not of Jesus--- say what you may, but that DAY WILL ARRIVE, AND THIS I SAY IN THE NAME OF OUR MIGHTY AND LOVING FATHER, THAT YOU WILL APPROACH THE very throne OF GOD AND YOUR ADVOCATE WILL BE THERE, AND YOU WILL SAY, FATHER, I CASTOUT DEMONS IN YOUR NAME! I CURED THE SICK AND FED THE POOR , " AND HE WILL TELL THEE I DO NOT KNOW THEE! HOW HORRIBLE IT HAS BEEN THESE LAST 12 MONTHS, AND THE MONTHS BEFORE WHEN WE WERE CONFRONTED BY A MAN WHOM DENIED US IN THE NAME OF JESUS..?? IMAGINE THIS! AND WHEN CONFRONTED BY OUR VOICE THIS MAN HID IN THE ROBES OF THE UNFAITHFUL WHOM THINK THAT A CON-MAN'S WORDS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE VERY LIFE AND DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF CHRIST JESUS! This man Tom is a full fledged fake, he NEVER was or did what he says he was and did. BEYOND A SINGLE DOUBT! And yet NONE of you Pharisees have seen fit to denounce him. You sit in your world of denial and allow and allowed Tom to continue by your ABSENCE of words.. how about an apology?? Tell me? IT TOOK A FEDERAL LAW SUIT to close down the many web sites and articles and such.. imagine this.. and where is YOUR report?? I guess that you will say and do as others, you will say "we are investigating him"... Yes, your absence of apology is in itself a sin,, NO? Can you say that your willingness to allow tom to speak and the thousands that heard him now took that allowance to mean Tom was real and they went and told one or two or three.. and so, your "humbleness" is not and can never be enough to overcome the destruction, perversion and the many whom will fall when they read the articles and hear the witness and know the truth... I do not require a return e. I do not and will not read what may be an attempt to justify, I will not care to discuss the facts, I will say I have them all and they were so easy to get its a wonder no one brought it up before.. but, after all, someone did and suffered for it... I m not angry, rather full of disbelief that you and yours continue the blasphemy.... for I will be VICTORIOUS IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER!! Imagine this, Jesus was the Son of GOD, He came unto the earth as a man, he ministered to the sinner, the sick, the poor, He REBUKED the Money Changers, Rebuked the Pharisees and Rebuked even Saul and The Disciples.. yet the Sons Of God through the Sacrifice of Jesus now Rebuke His Word A Humbling Thought....

LUK 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. MARK: 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 8:32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
