Spanking A. D. Samples

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” 1 John 4:1-7

In my audio message “Ye Do Err, Not Knowing The Scriptures” [http://www.geocities.com/gna1611/preaching.html], I said that because of 1 John 4:1-3, you can try the spirits of Bible versions. Just check 1 Timothy 3:16 and see if the version confesses that “God was manifest in the flesh”. Other verses concerning God being manifest in the flesh are the following:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

“Who [Christ] verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,” 1 Peter 1:20

“ (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)” 1 John 1:2

“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.” 1 John 3:5

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8

Although all of these verses speak of Jesus Christ’s manifestation in the past tense, A. D. Samples claims that in order to “try the spirits” today, you must insist on getting the present tense “is come” in the confession. Without those two words, you must be speaking to a devil.

If Samples had searched the scriptures and looked at all the verses that contain the exact phrase “is come”, he should have noticed Matthew 17:12. “But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.” Jesus here is speaking of John the Baptist some time after his death. In this verse, it is clear that this phrase “is come” is referring to someone who HAS come and HAS GONE. This is true also of our Lord Jesus Christ today. He has come in the flesh and he has also gone in the flesh (Acts 1:9-10). By the way, Samples said, “His flesh didn’t go anywhere”. So then, Jesus Christ is now still here on the earth in the flesh? No, not really. Jesus Christ is not here on the earth in the flesh. Jesus Christ went to heaven in the flesh. “He is not here: for he is risen.” Samples has been smoking pot with his brother-in-law.

Samples also said, “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh in the same way that he was here on earth in front of Nicodemus and in heaven at the same time”. This is another false statement. When Jesus was here on earth, he was here on earth in the flesh. Right now, he is not here on earth in the flesh. So, to make the confession that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is correct today. And Samples is just a bozo for insisting on the present tense “is come”.

Now let’s press the present tense “is come” and study the thing out and then and only then, we’ll see who is devil possessed. In verses two and three of First John, two spirits are mentioned. One is the Spirit of God and the other is the spirit of antichrist. In verse six, two spirits are mentioned. One is the spirit of truth and the other is the spirit of error. Obviously, the Spirit of God is the spirit of truth and the spirit of antichrist is the spirit of error. Another thing that should be obvious to a Christian who compares scripture with scripture, instead of smoking pot, is that to find the context and application of First John 1-3, you need to determine in which time periods would the confession that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh would be a true confession. There are five time periods to consider.




Before the birth of Jesus Christ, the confession that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh would be a false confession. It could only be confessed by the spirit of error during this time.

From the birth of Jesus Christ to the Ascension of Jesus Christ in Acts 1:9-10, the confession that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh would be a true confession. During this time, the spirit of truth could confess it.

From the Ascension of Jesus Christ to the Tribulation, the confession that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh would be a false confession. During this time, Jesus Christ is not come in the flesh. He is not here: for he is risen. And just to make it clear to stupid people: During this time, Jesus Christ is not come in the flesh – he was come in the flesh. Again, Jesus Christ is not come in the flesh – he is gone in the flesh. One more time, “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.” (Matthew 28:6) [And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.]

During the Tribulation, the confession that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh would be a false confession. As a matter of fact, that confession during the tribulation would be a confession that the antichrist is Jesus Christ come in the flesh. It could only be confessed by the spirit of antichrist during this time.

During the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ here on the earth, guess what? You get only one guess. The confession that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh would be a true confession. During this time, the spirit of truth could confess it.

Now, the conclusion of the matter is this: From the Ascension of Jesus Christ to the Second Coming of Christ after the Tribulation, it is truth to say that Jesus Christ “has” come in the flesh; but it is error to say that Jesus Christ “is come” in the flesh. [One more time for stupid people, “He is not here: for he is risen.] And since only the spirit of error – the spirit of antichrist – would confess now that Jesus Christ “is come in the flesh” instead of “he is risen”, it is A. D. Samples who is devil possessed. He is confessing the confession of error. And in addition to that, he wants you to get the spirit of antichrist too.

Christians are not supposed to be witnesses of Jesus Christ in the flesh. He is not here. Christians are supposed to be witnesses of his resurrection. You want proof of this statement. Good. I’m glad you asked.

Acts 1:22:

“Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.”

Acts 2:31:

“He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.”

Acts 4:2:

“Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.”

Acts 4:33:

“And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.”

Acts 17:18:

“Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.”

Romans 1:4:

“And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:”

Romans 6:5:

“For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:”

1 Corinthians 15:12:

“Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?”

1 Corinthians 15:13:

“But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:”

Philippians 3:10:

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”

1 Peter 1:3:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

1 Peter 3:21:

“The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”

“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” 1 John 3:10

By his own testimony, A. D. Samples went to Bible Baptist Church, Pensacola, Florida and intentionally caused a disturbance in the church between services and after services. And he claims that God told him to do this. If he had wanted to do righteousness, he would have talked to whoever he wanted to, at least, outside the church building if not completely off the church property. And in the case of speaking to Dr. Ruckman, he should have waited until the building was cleared or asked Dr. Ruckman if they could go to his office or somewhere else private to talk about the matter. It is obvious that Samples was not concerned about being decent or orderly. “Let all things be done decently and in order.” (1 Corinthians 14:40) And it is also obvious that he was not concerned about doing righteousness. He was concerned about causing strife.

Secondly, if Samples was at all concerned about doing righteousness, and he really thought that Dr. Ruckman was devil possessed, Samples should have given much time to prayer (and I mean very much more than one week – more like months, at least) before publishing his 3 part ‘message’. What Samples has done shows that he is the worst kind of liar when he says that he loves Dr. Ruckman. If he really believed what he says he believes, and was concerned about doing right, instead of gaining advantage from this slander, he would not have done what he has done. That is obvious to anyone who has any sense at all.

According to First John 3:10, Samples is not only devil possessed, but this verse says that he is “not of God”, but is a child of the devil. A. D. Samples “doeth not righteousness” and he “loveth not his brother”. Even if Samples has been born again, he is a dirty rotten low life scum. He is worse than Bible correctors. Samples can go lick up his own vomit! He is a false prophet.

And don’t worry about 1 Timothy 5:1, the verse that says, “Rebuke not an elder”. He’s not anybody’s elder. In fact, according to 1 Corinthians 3:3, Samples is a baby. He is carnal. He is full of envying and strife and conceit. His ‘message’ is packed with conceit, contradictions, and nonsense.

This idiotic jackass thinks he is a David and he is going to take over as “the man of God in these last days” since according to him, Dr. Ruckman is now devil possessed.

A List of Lies, Conceit, and Nonsense of A. D. Samples:

1. “I look across a non devil possessed room this morning and I thank God.”

If the room was not devil possessed, that is evidence that Samples was lying when he gave his message. When the truth is being preached, there are devils all over the place trying to block the airwaves and stop the effectiveness of the preaching. If there were no devils in the room, he must have been in a bar, getting drunk.

2. “I’m not preaching this to bash Dr. Ruckman.”

This is a lie. The only reason he did what he has is to bash Dr. Ruckman for his own personal gain.

3. “Nobody believes this passage but me. I believe it. You don’t believe it.”

4. “Everyone around there except for the exceptions.”

Absolute conceit and Idiocy.

5. “I was going to happily obey the Lord and beat the crap out of him.”

Samples is deluded. He expects you to believe that our Lord told him to “beat the crap out of” somebody. And it was not a matter of self defense. It is a matter of he has a plague in his head (Leviticus 13:44).

6. “God told me I had to go over there and handle this witchcraft seeping into the church.”

Who are you trying to kid? You are a liar.

7. “Even If you know where I’m going, you don’t know where I’m going.”

Yeah. Samples, even if you had a brain, you don’t have a brain.

8. “God’s original plan is he made your body to eat meat.”

Not according to Genesis 1:29-30; 2:16-17. Even after Adam’s sin, God still didn’t give animal meat to man for food until Noah.

9. According to Samples, nobody obeys the command of 1 John 4:1-3 except Samples himself and his buddies and their buddies.

10. At one point, Samples actually said that if a person says “Jesus Christ ‘is come’ in the flesh” without saying “I confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh”, the person failed the test of scripture and is a devil. Talk about stupid. This is beyond stupid. If a man says “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh”, he has made the confession. Does he think that in order to be saved, a person has to say “I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus” etc. (Romans 10:9)?

11. “The one man that outranks me is Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. He is the only man who does.”

Who let this clown out of the circus anyway? He doesn’t outrank anybody. That crap is just his imagination. He must be an only child and desperately needs attention. That is after all what this whole thing is about. He is getting attention for himself.

12. “There are witnesses as I tell you these things. If you think you need more, you don’t.” “If you think you need more witnesses, go get them. Stop the tape and go get them.”

This guy has some real serious problems with his thinking process. Like Doc would say, “The bigger the belfry, the more room for the bats.” I would actually be surprised if Dr. Ruckman didn’t tell him that he is coo coo.

13. He said that if a person eats herbs, he is weak, taking Romans 14:2 out of context.

14. He said that since the beast is cast into the lake of fire in Revelation 19, 1 John 4:1-3 couldn’t apply to the millennium. But Revelation 19 does not say that the spirit of antichrist could not be on the earth at that time.
