This blog is to provide my friends with a common place to check our plans for our Civil War tour of 2011 through 2015, the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
It will become the central repository for the schedule for the Civil Wargasm, a journey to be conducted out of a profound sense of history by Mark Wilson Seymour, H.P Tyner, Michael Benson, Dave Matt, and those Companions of the Gasm who choose to come along. Since few of us will be spry enough (assuming we're even alive then), we'll likely not be able to repeat this in another fifty years, during the Bicentennial of the War, thus we're going to take this opportunity to see every reenactment of the Civil War...
It will take place from 12 April 2011 (the 150th anniversary of the shelling of Fort Sumter and my 59th birthday) in Charleston, South Carolina through 12 April 2015 (the 150th anniversary of the surrender of Lee's army and my 63rd birthday) in Appomattox Court House, Virginia. There may be, as events warrant and there are willing participants, events that occurred after Appomattox which will be of sufficient interest that the Companions will attend.

MODERN DAY-APOSTLES?
Some claim that there are apostles alive and well, living among us. Is that fact or fiction?
QUESTION: What purpose would modern day apostles serve?
QUESTION: If there are apostles today, why do they not mirror the acts of the apostles of the first century?
Acts 2:43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
Are people being filled with awe by the so-called modern day apostles? If that were true it would be on every TV network. It would dominate the cable TV channels. The Internet would flooded with accounts of these so-called modern day apostles.
ACTS OF THE FIRST CENTURY APOSTLES
The apostle Paul cause the magician Elymas to be temporarily blinded.(Acts 13:8-12)
Are the so-called contemporary apostles causing men to go blind? No.
The apostle Peter brought Tabitha back from the dead. (Acts 9:36-41)
Are the 21 century pretend-apostles bring people back from the dead? No. If they could bring men back from the dead they would invite TV crews into funeral homes, to witness their miracles.
The apostle Peter predicted the immediate death of Sapphira. (Acts 5:1-11)
Can the false modern day apostles predict the immediate death of people who lie to God? Of course they cannot.
The apostle Peter immediately healed a lame man who had been lame from birth. (Acts 3:1-10)
If these so-call modern day apostles could heal men who were lame from birth it would on every, nightly, TV news broadcast.
THE SIGNS OF AN APOSTLE
2 Corinthians 12:12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.
The so-called modern day apostles are missing the signs of a true apostle. Be careful not to get detoured down the wrong road by following false sign makers.
WE DO NOT NEED SO-CALLED MODERN DAY APOSTLES!
We have the completed Bible. We have all the information we
need for salvation and living the Christian life. God's word was confirmed by Jesus and the apostles of the first century.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 and from childhood you have know the scared writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
By A.D. 100 men had all the Scripture they needed for salvation and living the Christian life.
WE HAVE THE RECORDED WORD OF GOD. THE BIBLE.
WE DO NOT NEED SO-CALLED MODERN DAY APOSTLES!
