Please be advised that the Bill’s Bible Basics Facebook ministry is a public ministry. What I mean by this is that everything I have to offer to my Facebook friends can be found by visiting my timeline. In fact, to take full advantage of everything that I have to offer in the way of the Scriptures, you should also click or tap on the links which I include with many of the posts that I make. These links will lead you to even more information, and deeper Bible studies, concerning what each of my graphics is about, on the Bill’s Bible Basics website.
The reason why I am stating this, is because I have too many friends — particularly from Asian, Middle Eastern, African and other Muslim countries — who seem to only be interested in engaging in private text messaging. These people show very little interest — if any at all — in commenting on my posts, liking my posts, or sharing my graphics on their own timelines and pages.
Why is this?
I will tell you why. With over 14 years of Facebook experience — as of September 2025 — behind me, I know for a fact that in a large number of these cases, these people are ultimately only after a few things: money, clothing, Bible supplies, etc. Now, I recognize that some of these people may be honest and sincere in their requests. They may indeed be real, Bible-believing Christians who have given their lives to Christ. However, with so much fraud, deception and outright lying occurring on Facebook, how can we know for sure?
Trust me when I say that some scammers can create a website or Facebook page that looks very convincing and very legitimate. That is to say, the website or Facebook page will give the impression that they truly are Christian, or that they truly do run a Christian orphanage or similar Christian ministry. When such people do start sending you private text messages, they will start off innocent enough with a simple hello, how are you, God bless you, etc. But eventually, they will get to the main point: they want your money, or something else. I have been through this enough times over the years to know. Trust me on this.
Personally, I can’t help but wonder how many gullible, naive Christians — particularly American Christians — on Facebook are sending money to these people, not realizing that they may very well be funding some Muslim terrorist organization, or just giving money to someone who doesn’t even believe in Christ, and who simply knows how to say the right things, and milk Americans for all they are worth in a financial sense.
It is for this reason that whenever I do accept a new friend request, I let the person know right off the bat in my welcome message to them, that I cannot help them in any way, other than by sharing the Word of God with them. If secretly they want more than that, then they are barking up the wrong tree, and their friend request is wasted on me. And they are wasting my time as well.
In short, I like to keep everything above board and out in the open. In other words, if I do accept your friend request, let’s keep it public. Engage with my posts by commenting on them, liking them, and sharing them on your own timeline or page. Now, if you do none of these things; and if you are silent for a long period of time; and then you suddenly start sending me private text messages, naturally, I am going to be suspicious, and I am going to wonder what it is that you really want. Many scammers start out this way.
For the record, I private text with very few people on Facebook on a regular basis. These are normally people I have known for at least a few years on Facebook, if not longer, and who I have grown to trust. I know that they are sincere and legit in their faith in Christ. Currently, I can count such people with whom I text on a regular basis on one hand.
Whether some of you realize it or not, our nation has been slip sliding away for literally decades. However, the slide has been so slow, so gradual, and so subtle, that it wasn’t until about halfway through the decade of the 2010s that a lot of people really began to wake up to what has been going on. However, sadly, by that time, it was already too late. Serious damage had already been done, and the victory had already been won. What has been going on since then basically amounts to mopping up exercises and tying up the loose ends. And boy are they doing a good job of it!
So exactly what am I talking about?
Well, do you remember a few decades ago — back in the 1970s, actually — when the LGBTQ+ crowd began claiming that they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives as they please without harassment or discrimination?
Fast-forward fifty years, and you will see one long history of continuous lies, as they aggressively advanced their radical, extreme agenda.
Then came gender reassignment surgery.
Then came renegade, liberal circuit court judges who repeatedly overturned the will of the people.
Then came renegade, liberal state legislatures who likewise overturned the will of the people.
Then came civil unions.
Then on June 26, 2015 came nationwide legalization of same-sex “marriage” by mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, despite the majority of the American people being opposed to it.
Then came openly gay or lesbian bishops, pastors, priests, politicians, actors, sports figures, and everyone in between.
Then came same-sex union blessings in some of the churches.
Then came adoption of normal, healthy children by same-sex couples.
Then came law suits against Christians and Conservatives who follow their hearts and their faith, and who oppose the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came library books which openly promote the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came gender-neutral bathrooms.
Then came drag queens in our public schools during children’s story hour.
Then came teaching LGBT history in the classroom.
Then came liberal parents who encourage their children to act and dress like the opposite sex.
Then came hormone injections, puberty-blocking drugs in young children and double mastectomies on adolescent girls in order to alter their natural-born physiology so that they could appear outwardly the way that they were being made to feel inwardly by misguided adults and parents.
Then came a gender-neutral option on birth certificates.
Now they promote their ungodly lifestyle in every area of the entertainment and mass media industries where they possibly can, and constantly shove it in our faces. It is inescapable; unless one goes and lives in a cave.
Now, in the latest news, according to an article in The Washington Times, some liberal-minded schools aren’t happy with just offering LGBTQ+ books in their school libraries. Now they want to FORCE young children with impressionable minds to read them, whether they like it or not.
Yes, but of course, as they said, they just wanted to be left alone. Right? If you believe that nonsense, then you are seriously deceived!
Thankfully, some parents are fighting back and taking it to the US Supreme Court. If the justices accept the case, let’s hope that the God-fearing justices on the bench will do what is right in the sight of God by giving these brave parents a victory.
But concerning the LGBTQ+ agenda, well I say this:
What about us? What about our right to live in a Bible-based, God-fearing society which honors and obeys God’s natural order of things? How much longer will God endure this madness and rebellion against His holy Laws? When will His patience finally run out? When will His judgments begin to fall on the wicked who mock Him everyday, and who cast His Word to the ground? As the Apostle John wrote some two thousand years ago:
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1 John 5:19, KJV
If John were alive today, oh how he would shudder!
Article: “Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: A Warning to Modern Society”:
By the way, when we come to Jesus Christ and are reborn in the Spirit, the Scriptures make it very clear that we should undergo a spiritual and mental change in our lives, and that we should in fact become NEW CREATURES in Jesus Christ. We should NOT remain the same, living our same old life style, and living in our same old sins. That means that people who belong to the LGBTQ crowd should NOT continue practicing their sexual deviancy. Here is Scriptural proof:
