'''King James Video Ministries''' is an [[Internet|online]] [[Denomination|nondenominational]], and somewhat [[Extremist|extreme]] [[fundamentalist Christian]] ministry run by a [[Common law|de-facto]] married couple consisting of '''Bryan Denlinger''' {{lived|1975}}, and his wife '''Katherine''', who maintain a [[YouTube]] channel with over 108K subscribers,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/@BryanDenlingerKJVM/featured Born Again Barbarian] ''YouTube''</ref> as well as a website.<ref>[https://kjvm.org/ Home] ''King James Video Ministries''</ref>

Their main schtick involves complete [[King James Only|adhesion and defense of the King James Bible]], hence its name, as well as multiple [[conspiracy theories]] surrounding the geopolitical and social world with an overarching [[Anti-Catholicism|anti]]-[[Catholic]] narrative. At first, their rhetoric may resemble that of other fundies such as those in the [[New IFB]], however, don’t think they are alike, as they avoid any association with other ministries and churches for many reasons presented in the article.

==In the beginning==
Bryan was born and raised in Strasberg, [[Pennsylvania]], to a Mennonite of Germanic descent. He hated school, believing it blocked full-time employment for him,<ref name="Satanic Ignatian SelfRighteousness Part 2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOLzt57CVY Satanic Ignatian Self-Righteousness Part 2]</ref> and he "wasn’t about to go to some university and spend time sitting at a desk and reading some books”.
He attended multiple churches in his early life, with sporadic attendance due to issues he would have. At one point, he volunteered to teach Sunday school, but it required a police background check which he found a "little bit weird".<ref name="Answering An Agnostics Questions">[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8cu8z_RhQyI Answering An Agnostic's Questions by Bryan Denlinger]</ref>

In 1997, he started working as a woodturner, turning spinning tops, bowls, and ornamental curios, which he exhibited in art galleries and craft shows, while also making furniture. He indicated he only did it for money and found it unfulfilling making things for the rich. However, he still considers himself a woodturner by trade.<ref name="What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 1">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kGmikl2dY What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 1]</ref>

After a trip to Honduras, he became [[born again]] and took an interest in the [[Bible]]. Inspired by Peter Ruckman’s media, he began creating his own, marketing it through his ministry and others' webstores.<ref name="What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 1"/>

In 2009, he began his channel under ''husky394xp'', named after the chainsaw which he used for logging. The channel was mainly about that, until it became the main ministry channel, which became profitable enough that he was able to quit and focus on evangelism. Today, he resides near Bridgewater, [[Maine]]<ref group =note>Due to claims of harassment, please don't go out and try to confront him in public.</ref> after the prompting of a follower, due a lack of affordable property,<ref name="What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 1"></ref><ref name="What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1_CS-hQRsE What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 2]</ref> and since 2012, he's been married to Katherine.
===... speaking of which===
Katherine grew up in [[Iowa]], suffering from incurable seizures<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation I">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oZVawPFr2w From Lutheranism To Salvation: Part 1]</ref> and a learning disability, making the classroom setting difficult<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation III">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efWkHNOCbSA From Lutheranism To Salvation: Part 3]</ref> deeming her a slow learner.<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation II"/> She attended Atlantic High School, but failed standardized testing and was sent to remedial courses. She described herself as a loner unable to make friends during that period.<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation I"/> While being, according to herself, athletically gifted, she suffered from gender confusion which she blames on playing sports,<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation II"/> and has periodically been under psychiatric care.<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation I"/>

She was raised [[Lutheran]] by her parents and attended Lutheran colleges,<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation II"/><ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation III"/> though she considers them to be Catholic and claims that she learned to commit the sin of drinking coffee while attending Sunday school.<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation I"/>

She claimed to be a spook in the [[military industrial complex]], and allegedly served in the Navy between 2007 and 2010 in the Persian Gulf. A serviceman introduced her to REX 84 documents where she learned dark secrets and kept questioning orders. She began seeing the U.S. as an evil country mired in the sin of espionage, and "discovered" that they were developing a [[Transhumanism|cyborg army]].<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation III"/> She was ordered to undergo a psychological examination due to anger issues, after which, she was returned to duty.<ref name="Satanic Ignatian SelfRighteousness Part 2"/> She failed a later evaluation and was honorably discharged.<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation II">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyK3QQZaeXE From Lutheranism To Salvation: Part 2]</ref> 

Disenchanted, she sought non-mainstream Christianity, worsening relations with her family, and tried proselytizing to potential employers, though no one wanted to join her particular cult of the day. During this time, she began getting away from the world’s tech<ref name="From Lutheranism To Salvation III"/> and began making contact with KJV-onlyists. The rest was history. 

Her sermons are pitted with back-biting, talebearing and gossip and preached in an occasionally loud, obnoxious manner. Her husband considers those who exhibit these character traits to be possessed by the Jezebel spirit.<ref name="Baptist Witchcraft And Idolatry">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z45VJMXhAg4 Baptist Witchcraft And Idolatry]</ref> He does make an exception for his wife, so you’d be wrong to consider otherwise.

==Denlingerism==
Bryan teaches that believers like him existed since the time of Christ and were disparaged as Gnostics and [[Heresy|heretics]] by the Roman Catholic Church, and that his group are called heretics today and always been called such. He claims that his church descends from what was the First Church of Heretics. Inconsistently, he tends to call his critics heretics. The reason he claims that there’s no records of his cult is that the Catholic Church burned them, and that the history books were written by Catholics. The absence of evidence for his claims, he argues, in effect proves him. 
Like many cult leaders, he claims that he receives revelations from Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He has claimed that he speaks on the prompting of the spirit.<ref name="The Imminent Return Of The Lord Jesus Christ"></ref>
===Influences===
[[File:Denlingerruckman.jpg|thumb|right|Bryan exhibiting his extensive collection of Ruckman's musings.]]
Much of Bryan's views are heavily influenced by Peter Ruckman and [[Eric Jon Phelps]], describing them as "two phenomenal very intelligent men" and has repeatedly defended them from detractors.<ref name= Ruckmanite>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t3ZOiXDnWww I am a Ruckmanite Part 1 by Bryan Denlinger]</ref><ref name=Free-Birthing>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OxhmzO4IwWc Free-Birthing Video Ordered To Be Removed From Sermon Audio! By Bryan Denlinger]</ref><ref name="Are The Denlingers Racist">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTOK2AuY6QE Are The Denlingers Racist?]</ref>. On issues such as race relations and culture, his views are a carbon copy of those of Phelps, while theologically his views are like Ruckman. Phelps’ book, ''Vatican Assassins'', further shaped his views towards Catholicism and [[Jesuits]]. 

Other sources of influence were tract writer [[Jack Chick|Jack T. Chick]] and [[Alberto Rivera]] who formed much of Denlinger's anti-Catholicism, which was reinforced by Phelps, who himself was influenced by the duo.

A Mennonite-Anabaptist influence underlies much of his worldview which figures in Pennsylvania, due to its origins as a land-grant by Charles II at the behest of William Penn for non-conformists who faced persecution from mainline Protestants in Europe.{{citation needed}} However, this has, in modern times, turned the state into a magnet for hate groups, and gives rise to his attempt to recreate the early church, as he sees it, of the Bible, which can be seen in his claim that were only house churches in that period.

===Drinking the Drano===
Bryan comes across as extremely arrogant and prideful, with an inferiority complex to boot, compensating for it in aggression towards opponents, going so far as to sarcastically recommend that they drink Drano or sulfuric acid to "test their spirit" and on camera in full view of their subscribers.<ref name="Exposing Charismatic PHARISEES">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8pM34DjWwQ Exposing Charismatic PHARISEES!]</ref><ref name="Chris Lasalas Response To Bryan Denlingers Comments">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zqOsG4fmNU Did Chris Lasala's Comments Get to Bryan Denlinger's Overinflated Ego?]</ref>

In a sermon alluding to [[Jonestown]], Bryan, exhibiting his knowledge of geography, claimed that the massacre occurred in Africa.<ref name="Chris Lasalas Response To Bryan Denlingers Comments"/> The incident occurred in Guyana, which is in [[South America]]. Furthermore, he posits that Jim Jones was cursed by God for hitting the Bible.<ref name="Exposing Charismatic PHARISEES">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8pM34DjWwQ Exposing Charismatic PHARISEES!]</ref> He asks as to why anyone filled with the spirit would hit the Bible, despite in one of his own tirades he is seen hitting it repeatedly.<ref name="Chris Lasalas Response To Bryan Denlingers Comments"/> The video was later deleted.

===Membership===
Membership is only opened to those who are already saved, without exception. Those wishing to join are vetted through an interview process beforehand by the Denlingers to tell if they’re truly saved.{{cn}} If the candidate is approved, they can fellowship.

Members are required to proselytize through street preaching, door to door evangelism, passing out tracts, and distributing material. All members are expected to assist with the ministry.<ref name="KJVM-aboutus">[https://kjvm.org/about-us/ About Us - King James Video Ministries]</ref> Bryan doesn't stipulate a tithing percentage from those who watch the videos, but expects to be compensated for preaching. Nevertheless, he does entreat subscribers to donate and those who do so would be presenting that gift before the "throne of God" and will be duly compensated perhaps not in wealth but other areas of life.<ref name="What Does Bryan Denlinger Do For A Living? Part 2"/>

===Cultic behavior===
Bryan has claimed that he doesn’t make a good cult leader to counter accusations. His main claim is that he doesn’t have a church building,<ref name="Worst Cult Leader">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mMOFQSnVjM Bryan Denlinger Is The WORST Cult Leader In History]</ref> which he equates to having a cult. He also indicates that having a wilderness compound is a sign of a cult, however, he purchased property for a ministry and home.<ref name="Property Sale">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQbVeSTnCzA Property Sale Update By Bryan Denlinger]</ref><ref name="Its Over">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBJxZrVzS9A Its Over By Bryan Denlinger]</ref> Of course, his defense because he refers to it as property and not a compound. No telling what the difference about it anyway. To his credit, he’s since claimed that it's his vacation home.<ref name="Worst Cult Leader"></ref> He's also indicated that, as he is not a sexual pervert, he doesn't qualify. While years of porn addiction may not have turned himself into a pervert, we'll take his word. Lastly, he says that he doesn't elevate himself above others. Of course, claiming to receive revelations through the spirit doesn’t count. However, Denlingerism exhibits strong cultic behavior as given by Steven Hassan's BITE model.{{citation needed}}

While Bryan claims that he doesn't hold those who don't follow him are "unsaved", for all intents and purposes, all those who hold opposite viewpoints are such.<ref name="Worst Cult Leader"></ref> He suggests that only those who are truly “saved” can understand his preaching and follow it, while the unsaved cannot understand because they do not have the spirit. If a person is against his unique teachings on the Godhead, they are unsaved.<ref name="Trinitarian Godhead">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngs5mJ8QF3I&t Why Trinitarians Can't Understand The Godhead]</ref><ref name="Worst Cult Leader Max Bauer">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV0Cta6tJl8 Bryan Denlinger is Mad he Isn't a Better Cult Leader - Max Bauer]</ref>   

During interviews, Bryan requires the person to reveal personal information and how he/she got “saved” and any associations they may have had. No person with a Jesuit education need apply. He’ll frequently call members, whom he refers to as the '"body of Christ", to uproot dissent within and inform him regarding private conversations with another member or where one might have faltering allegiance to him or his teachings.

He attempts to control what former members may say by threatening to divulge confidential information regarding that member, conducting an online criminal background check and disclosing private information regarding the former follower including their actual legal name, email, and address. Like many cults, few leave with their dignity intact. Of course, those who turn against him were not truly “saved” but used deception to appear so.

Once a person is shunned, members are warned not to have any further dealings with that individual by claiming the Biblical principle of being unequally yoked.<ref name="Chad Wilson What happened">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jTljUP9jeU&t An Explanation of what happened with Bryan - Chad Wilson]</ref> He expects followers to minimize contact with the “unsaved” world, and to flag and report videos which take issue with him, and his ministry to YouTube as harassment and bullying. Denlinger's cult though this process has successfully removed contrarian content from the YouTube platform through sheer loyalty and numbers of complaints by his sycophants.<ref name="Thank You">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GVu6VXnuFw Max Bauer Thanks the Body of Christ]</ref> Denlinger and followers with multiple YouTube accounts will dislike videos causing the impression to viewers that the videos are wrong.
Largely due to the reprisals suffered even the more vocal apostates have deleted critical content about him due to the threats hanging over their head like the Sword of Damocles.

===On the Godhead===
Bryan began exploring the concept of the Godhead when an Indian subscriber sent him a request to explain the concepts of man being body, soul and spirit in June 2012 and began exploring the Godhead using this concept.<ref name="Trinity Body Soul and Spirit">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_IMThdOlLM The Trinity: Body, Soul, and Spirit]</ref>{{dead}} He based this concept on the Johannine Comma ({{bible|1 John|5|7-8|}}) which doesn't appear in most Bibles and was an inclusion from analogical explanatory notes. Since the KJV has this known corruption in its text, he's stuck with it to prove his Godhead.

He rejects [[Trinity|Trinitarianism]] and substitutes it with a Sabellian God. He teaches that there’s one God and it's Jesus Christ who embodies the complete Godhead where Jesus’ body, soul and spirit are the father, son and Holy Spirt respectively. He also claimed he was dumbfounded when other Christians took umbrage at his teachings as he went about upending their apple carts.<ref name="Why Is The Catholic Trinity So Important To Satan">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i86dujve96E Why Is The Catholic Trinity So Important To Satan?]</ref> 

He also calls out [[atheists]] (Whom he considers Luciferians<ref name="Atheists Are Luciferians">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7X2uFcuAX4 Atheists Are Luciferians]</ref>), attempting to provide a proof for the existence of his deity using "Catholic" cosmological arguments for the existence of God posited by medieval scholastic theologian and philosopher, Thomas Aquinas.<ref name="Does God Love LOST Sinners">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3TlJNTfek8 Does God Love LOST Sinners?]</ref> Aquinas' Argument from Motion, [[Argument from first cause|Argument of First Cause]] and Argument from Contingency attempt to prove the existence of a deity outside space and time. However, since it’s, from its inception, a material being, it’s therefore dependent on space and time to give it material and dimensionality. Perhaps, if one has a powerful enough telescope, we should be able to view it somewhere on Kolob were the [[Mormonism| Mormons]] claims their gods reside.

===Persecution complex===
Bryan takes issue with those who call him a hypocrite and that he's unsure who's worse, those who are who are out to character assassinate, or those who watch their videos and question him. He insinuates that his teachings are pearls and his critics are swine who turn on him, and that no one should refer to videos that were removed.<ref name="Why My Wife Is Now In Videos">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2LNMXl938Q Why My Wife Is Now In Videos By Bryan Denlinger]</ref> He even said that critics who continue to watch him rather than ignore him are [[Demonic possession|demonically possessed]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqewPswOleU Why Are Devil Possessed People Obsessed With Men Of God?]</ref> All this said in perfect mind-controlling cult leader fashion.

Bryan suffers from a severe [[persecution complex]]. [[Don't feed the Troll|Criticism will set him off on a name-calling rant, considering some of it to be persecution and the work of the Satan against him]],<ref name="The Pre Tribulation Rapture">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-A6otHD9AE The Pre Tribulation Rapture By Bryan Denlinger]</ref> and sees it as evidence that he’s saved and those persecuting him aren’t. While he will change his mind on a few subjects, he will go off at other times as well.

{{QuoteBox|They [the military] are trying more and more to get me kicked off [YouTube]. There are guys in military intelligence types that have been threatening me and things like this so how longer this channel is going to exist I do not know.<ref name="The Devil's Triangle I">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIqbLzFL7Dc The Devil's Triangle: Part 1]</ref>}}

===The End is nigh===
The ministry holds a premillennial dispensationalist view of the End Times. The Gospels were a transitory dispensation while only Paul's writing are considered for the "Church Age," or the current age,<ref name="The Pre Tribulation Rapture"></ref> and that the New Testament to be that which is written of the church after the death of Jesus, as such does not accept that the Gospels were written to persons of the "church age". According to Bryan, "tribulation" is not a Biblical word, and that the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” is the correct term. Also, to him, the Catching Away of the Body of Christ <ref group=note>What Bryan refers to the Rapture as.</ref> will happen when God intends it to happen.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjSAsFD_Xc The Doctrine of Imminence]</ref>

The doctrine was popularized in 1830 by John Nelson Darby, founder of the Exclusive Brethren. When this was pointed out, he merely claims that all those who believed in it were burned at the stake and the writings were destroyed by the Roman system. It’s rather convenient to claim that wherever a chain of belief doesn’t exist. One has to wonder if he'd accept the same claim made by biologists who can predict where transitions exist in human evolution. This is an archetypical example of when one believes without evidence but disparages those who have evidence for their belief. 

The Catching Away is doctrine to KJVM and those who don’t believe it aren’t saved,<ref name="Faithful Stewards Of The Mysteries Of Scripture">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fefzDMaAVCk Faithful Stewards Of The Mysteries Of Scripture]</ref> which could mean that no one prior to 1830 was saved, perhaps with the exception of Francisco Ribera and Manuel Lacunza, the two Jesuits who dreamt up this nonsense.<ref name="r-Hommel">{{cite web |last= Hommel |first= Jason |title= The Jesuits and the Rapture: Francisco Ribera & Emmanuel Lacunza |url = http://bibleprophesy.org/jesuitrapture.htm |access-date = 22 January 2011 |website= Jason Hommel's Bible Prophecy Study on the Pre Tribulation Rapture |location = Grass Valley, California |url-status= dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101209094535/http://bibleprophesy.org/jesuitrapture.htm |archive-date= 9 December 2010 }}</ref>

==Beating back the Pope==
Bryan teaches that the Roman Catholic Church is a continuation of the Roman system, which crucified Jesus and continues to persecute Christians.<ref name="Where Were Bible Believers BEFORE Roman Catholicism">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLuBaa-ZsGY FAQ 12: Where Were Bible Believers BEFORE Roman Catholicism?]</ref> He believes the Vatican's goal is world domination, and Catholicism is the [[One world religion|One World Religion]] of the [[Antichrist]].<ref name="ONE Religion For The World">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIQRBeAR3ss ONE Religion For The World]</ref> He teaches that the US military was started and owned by Rome,<ref name="The Charismatic Catholic CULT Next Door">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuWtQlorXN4 The Charismatic Catholic CULT Next Door]</ref>{{dead}} and that the Catholic Church, the military industrial complex and the [[alt-right]] make up the Devil's Triangle, which employs the Hegelian dialectic of thesis (capitalism) and antithesis (communism) to synthesize fascism.<ref name="The Devil's Triangle I"></ref> 

To him, all Protestants are crypto Catholics who collaborate with Catholics and adhere to the Trinity.<ref name="Official Catholic Teaching On The Trinity">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSC255Zqbk4 Official Catholic Teaching On The Trinity]</ref> The only true Bible believing Christians are those who share his opinion. 

===Whore of Babylon===
He claims that the Catholic Church is the only entity which fits the description of the [[Whore of Babylon]], and that the past five kingdoms of the Antichrist ruled the world: Babylon, Medes, Persia, Greece and Rome. Today, it’s Roman Catholicism. He bases this on his criteria that Babylon must be a woman, city and empire.<ref name="Mystery Babylon">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTZ5IgNV3WE Mystery Babylon]</ref>{{dead}} Further proof that he offers is that the Vatican City is built on seven hills (Seven heads represent seven hills ({{bible|Revelation|17|9|}})). One is left wondering as to where the British, the Mongols or the Soviets fit into the picture as the Babylonians, and Medes wouldn't make it into the 25 largest empires. This leads one to suspect that these "empires" were chosen so as to prop up a particular eisegetical reading which would conform a particular bias. That or shoehorning ideas in order to fit the narrative. He would also consider Roman Catholicism as the ''Babylon Mystery Religion'',<ref name="Where Were Bible Believers BEFORE Roman Catholicism"></ref> a name based on a book by Robert Woodrow, with views that Woodrow later recanted in ''Babylonian Connection?''.
 
Being a Bible thumping hick, it’s excusable that he apparently didn’t know that Vatican City sits on Vatican Hill, which is not one of Rome’s seven hills.<ref>[https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/map/vatican-city-map.htm Map of Vatican City State (Holy See)], ''NationsOnline''</ref> It also sits outside Ancient Rome, not within it. Besides, there are many cities which sit on {{wpl|List of cities claimed to be built on seven hills|seven hills}}.

===Constantine invented Catholicism===
According to Bryan, Constantine invented Roman Catholicism. Since Christianity couldn’t be curbed, Catholicism was made from paganism, which may contradict how he claimed it came from Babylon. He then goes on to claim that once Constantine merged them by giving Roman gods saint names, he changed the Caesar of Rome to the Pope of Rome – the Pontifex Maximus.<ref name="Answering An Agnostics Questions"/> Bryan asserts these as well-known facts.

The Church has existed since the First Century, and according to early church historians, the Apostles themselves belonged to it.<ref group=note>See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. —Ignatius of Antioch, The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans, c110</ref><ref group=note>And John too, indeed, in the Apocalypse, although he writes only to seven churches, yet addresses all. He wrote, besides these, one to Philemon, and one to Titus, and two to Timothy, in simple personal affection and love indeed; but yet these are hallowed in the esteem of the Catholic Church, and in the regulation of ecclesiastical discipline. There are also in circulation one to the Laodiceans, and another to the Alexandrians, forged under the name of Paul, and addressed against the heresy of Marcion; and there are also several others which cannot be received into the Catholic Church, for it is not suitable for gall to be mingled with honey. —The Muratorian Fragment, Ch.3 c170</ref><ref group=note>And if ever you are sojourning in cities, inquire not simply where the Lord's House is (for the other sects of the profane also attempt to call their own dens houses of the Lord), nor merely where the Church is, but where is the Catholic Church. For this is the peculiar name of this Holy Church, the mother of us all, which is the spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son of God (for it is written, As Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself for it [Ephesians 5:25], and all the rest,) and is a figure and copy of Jerusalem which is above, which is free, and the mother of us all [Galatians 4:26]; which before was barren, but now has many children. —Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lecture, 18 Ch. 26 c360</ref> There's general agreement among historians that the Catholic Church was the original Christian church. Outside of Protestantism, there are notable exceptions.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Orlandis |first=José |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M8kjqryq8dIC&newbks=0&printsec=frontcover&q=Pentecost&hl=en |title=A Short History of the Catholic Church |date=1993 |publisher=Scepter Publishers |isbn=978-1-85182-125-9 |language=en}}</ref> No writings contemporary to the period can prove the contrary, most of which have their origins in the 16th century or later. Knowing this fact, he claims that the evidence was burned, often an excuse of a charlatan who can't offer any.

The Roman Empire continued to have Caesars and Augusti after Constantine and continued in the east as the Byzantine Empire until 1453. The secular rulership was never transferred by the Roman Empire to the Pope. The Pope (properly the Bishop of Rome) has existed according to ecclesiastical historians all the way back to the 1st century. The title Pontifex Maximus was never transferred to the Pope and continued to be used by the Augusti at least until 382 after which it appears to have fallen into disuse, until it was picked up by the Pope later on in the 15th century.

===Dual Catholic Trinity===
[[File:Denlingertrinity.png|thumb|right|Bryan sermonizing on what he claims to be the dual Catholic Trinity and how it is symbolized by the Star of David. Perhaps, it'd be better served reading the books on his shelf rather than serving as a backdrop.]]
Bryan asserts that Catholics worship two trinities – one on earth and another in heaven, and that the earthly trinity is Mary (Isis), Joseph (Horus) and Jesus (Seth),<ref name="The Dual Catholic Trinity & The Hexagram">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ygt8sWNyc The Dual Catholic Trinity & The Hexagram]</ref> and the IHS on the Jesuit crest is that. In reality, it’s an abbreviation of the first letters of IHΣΟΥΣ (Jesus in Greek).<ref name=Gieben>''Christian sacrament and devotion'' by Servus Gieben 1997 ISBN: 90-04-06247-5; Page: 18;</ref> He claims that the Star of David is a representation of the dual Catholic Trinity symbolized by the two interconnected triangles one pointing down and the other up. To him, the Catholic Trinity is actually the satanic trinity of the father (the false prophet), son (the beast) and spirit (Satan), and it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit when reading scripture. According to him, the Vatican, which now controls Jerusalem, will install this trinity there. He also claims that Catholics believe each of the part of the Trinity has a body, soul and spirit, therefore, Catholics have nine gods.<ref name="Benny Hinn & The 9 God">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2oOXEAkxTM Benny Hinn & The 9 God “Trinity”]</ref><ref name="Answering A Comment And Some Questions">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC2X7frXMRs Answering A Comment And Some Questions]</ref>{{dead}} He labels another charlatan, [[Benny Hinn]], as a Catholic to make his case.<ref name="Benny Hinn & The 9 God"></ref>
{{clear}}

===Jesuits===
Jesuit conspiracies are quite common in the Denlingers' musings. Given Bryan's distrust of academics, it’s not surprising that much of his knowledge is derived from wingnut comics.<ref name="How To Spot Jesuit Infiltrators">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqqkHOACOUg How To Spot Jesuit Infiltrators!]</ref> He and Katherine believe that nearly every event in modern history was had some form of involvement with Jesuits bent on [[New World Order|world domination]].  

Bryan has a bit of interest in trying to figure out who’s actually in cahoots with the Jesuits, and associates include Trump, the Clintons, Alex Jones and organizations such as the Red Cross and Boy Scouts. Even other fundies aren't spared. [[James White]], who is called a “KJV denier”, was labeled a Jesuit for having a book he authored endorsed by Norman Geisler who obtained his doctorate from Loyola University. He also believes they started the [[Vietnam War]] to gain control of the [[heroin]] trade, and sold arms to [[Buddhism|Buddhists]] and combatants with the help of the [[CIA]].<ref name="The Dual Catholic Trinity & The Hexagram"></ref>

===2016 presidential election===
Bryan claims that the Vatican controlled the [[2016 United States presidential election]]. He examined photographs and a video of the Knights of Columbus' Al Smith Dinner, a charity fundraiser which funds other charities in New York City, hosted by Cardinal Dolan, which Bryan described as a [[psyop]]. In a sermon best described as an exercise in [[apophenia]], he says that both [[Donald Trump]] and [[Hillary Clinton]] are servants of the Vatican. He deduced this from Trump’s OK 'secret gesture' which he claims symbolizes 666. He also examined people at the dinner, claiming one was the 'harlot in scarlet', and another was a [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] magician. A chandelier in the background is described as a magical halo over Dolan's head, and that Trump and [[Bill Clinton]] are Jesuit trained provocateurs.<ref name="Total Papal Control of the 2016 Election">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS5iWnHJybM TOTAL PAPAL CONTROL OF THE 2016 ELECTION!]</ref><ref group=note>They studied at Fordham and Georgetown respectively.</ref>

===Mohammed the Catholic?===
Bryan admits that he learned about [[Islam]] from the Alberto's comic, ''The Prophet'',<ref name="ONE Religion For The World"></ref>,
which claims Islam was started by the Catholic Church to destroy Judaism, so Jerusalem can belong to Rome, despite the historical fact that the Roman Empire held Jerusalem at the time. Waraqah ibn Nawfal, who is called a Catholic priest, and Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, a Catholic nun, recruited Mohammed to start Islam.<ref>Rivera, Alberto; The Prophet ''Chick Publications''; pg 19</ref>

According to the Hadith, Khadijah was a pagan who kept idols, including one of al-Ussa in her home.<ref>ibn Ishaq, Muhammad; Sirat Rassulallah (trans. as Life of Mohammed by Alfred Guillaume)</ref> All accounts indicate that she was a pagan among other Arabs. Waraqah ibn Nawfal, who was her cousin, was according to the ahadith, a Nasara which indicates that he was likely a Nazorean. The Pope couldn't have had influence directly over the Middle East. Also, the comic also claims that true Christians existed in North Africa away from Rome. This only could mean Egypt, as the rest such as Carthage was under the Western Patriarch. By claiming that Alexandria was where true Christians resided, the "Alexandrians were heretics" claim is smoked. 

He builds upon Alberto's narrative by claiming that the Muslims got out of hand, and Rome always desired to destroy Islam. He claims that they're trying to woo Muslims with peace until they can build up the Antichrist's army. The immigration crisis was started to cause strife between Europeans and Muslims. Later on, the Vatican will destroy Mecca and Medina, causing the “vile Arabs” to attack in the West, causing Protestants and Catholics to unite into the Roman Catholic religion to fight Islam. This is, according to him, the goal of the ecumenical movement. When the Time of Jacob’s Trouble begins, the crusade would have already been underway while the Vatican positions its chess pieces. He recommends that Muslims to return to where they came from, so that they do not become cannon fodder.<ref name="ONE Religion For The World"></ref>

===Batholics===
Due to past experiences, Bryan harbors a deep seeded grudge against [[Baptist|Baptists]]. He calls their pastors hirelings who desert the flock in a crisis, unlike a real shepherd, and doesn't understand why churches are needed as they aren’t scriptural,<ref name="Baptist Witchcraft And Idolatry"/> and are a recent development, as they were only around for 200 years. Perhaps, he never learnt of Baptist history even after attending their churches. John Smyth established the first Baptist church in London in 1611 after leading a congregation since 1608 in Amsterdam.{{citation needed}}

He claims the churches are filled with loud obnoxious women who are backbiters, tale bearers, and whisperers who speak over their husbands, and have the spirit of Jezebel. He faults Baptists for allowing women to work outside the home and doesn't consider allowing them to teach Sunday school if they don't have children. He takes issue with churches allowing women who attend the churches to wear form fitting clothing, have short hair, wear their hair up instead of down and wear cosmetics instead of preaching against such.

He also tends to dox opponents, which he calls ''naming names'', including ordinary parishioners and their children, providing their names, the towns they live in, and the churches they attend. He calls out the churches for harboring thieves – who borrowed books from him and not returned them. Doubling down, he did what was listed above.<ref name="Baptist Witchcraft And Idolatry"/>

===Thou shalt not have church buildings before me===
Bryan claims that the Bible doesn’t support church buildings for worship and are Pagan inventions. He claims that they were used for the worship of goddesses, and that the Bible only uses the word 'church' to mean people. He warns followers against the adoption of buildings as “churches”, as they're a Catholic practice with the phallic steeples representing "mother earth and father sky", and Parthenon temple structures. He claims that nowhere in the Bible does it claim that Christians should attend or build them.<ref name="Why Are Churches Hiding ANTENNAS In Their Steeples">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft9cv6OLbi0 Why Are Churches Hiding Antennas In Their Steeples]</ref><ref name="Unscriptural Church Buildings">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8Hi9yqufw Sermon - Unscriptural Church Buildings]</ref>{{dead}} As might be expected, this rule doesn’t apply to him, as he has preached at churches until the usual acrimonious disagreements ensued.

He contends that they’re meant for Satan and the worship of the Image of the Beast, becoming venues for the Antichrist. Baptist churches, according to him, are modeled after the Greek amphitheaters with the circular seating.<ref name="Independent Fundamental Baptist Catholicism P1">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CIF1Dvoz3g Independent Fundamental Baptist Catholicism. What about Baptist "church" buildings? 1]</ref> Perhaps he should've taken a few courses in the sciences, arts and architecture as there are a myriad of scientific and architectural reasons for such designs. However, he may be excused for not having worthwhile knowledge which may have given him an understanding of the subject.

His claims are at variance with general and architectural history. Church buildings have been unearthed in the Middle East, dating prior to the Diocletian Persecution. According to historians of the era, such as Eusebius and Lactantius, all churches were destroyed or confiscated during that time, meaning they had to exist beforehand. While it's true that many early Christians worshipped in houses such as those of Archippus, Phebe, or Epenetus, it’s evident that church buildings were a thing back then.

==King James or bust==
Bryan in particular believes that the Bible is the sole source of all truth as pertaining to Christianity - at least. If it's not in the Bible, it's not true. However, all but himself are subject to this standard. 
He considers any Bible that isn't the KJV to be fabrications from Jesuits and other heathens. To support this, he rhetorically questions as to how Bible-believing Christians were saved if not for the KJV. He concludes that since they are saved, it can only be attributed the KJV's existence.<ref name=best>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMD88TuwATQ The Best KJV Bibles]</ref> He claims he knows he's saved because the KJV tells him so, and he knows he is interpreting it properly because he is saved. Some would call this circular reasoning, but to Bryan, it's just another day at the office. He does accept foreign translations as long as they're translated word for word from the KJV (so in practice, no foreign language translation is the word of God). He considers those who reject this belief to be lost.<ref name="FAQ 48">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCTedE86piU FAQ 48: Can A Saved Person Hate The KJV?]</ref> To him, those who try altering the KJV are liars, and found the 102 spelling updates to the KJV to be inauthentic corruptions. However, he doesn't consider the change from 29 letter typology (as in the original KJV) to the 26-letter typology (of current Bibles) to be bad. He only considers the Cambridge KJV text fully authentic.<ref name=best/> All others are heretical, manipulated to keep Christians from being "saved". Periodically, he's given to rants against White who he claims is colluding with the Jesuits.<ref name="James White's Jesuitical Statements On 501c3">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gNrVdrk7-o James White's Jesuitical Statements On 501c3]</ref>  You must take into account however that since he considers Anglicans to be Catholic (like all mainstream Protestant churches), and that they translated the KJV, it too would be a "Catholic" Bible, that is, if one applies his logic.
{{QuoteBox|You get some of these people uh you know in there like the Unitarians and things you know Thayer the Thayer's Greek Lexicon you got was a Unitarian the guy wasn't even saved.

Most neo-Christian sects and cults such as the Mormons, [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], [[Black Hebrew Israelites|Black Hebrew]] movement used the KJV as the basis for what is considered heterodox, including the (few) elements of historical orthodoxy that Bryan still adheres to. Due its archaic and ambiguous lexicon, the KJV has given rise to almost all of the modern splinters that Bryan and his ilk would consider to be "cults". If Bryan were to apply his standards uniformly, he would reject the KJV as possibly the worst translation known to man, but he doesn’t.

Like many KJV cultists, he makes the mistake of associating it with Antiochian manuscripts<ref name="The Pre Tribulation Rapture"></ref>{{dead}} which is a not a manuscript category but one which is invented to justify the claims.<ref>{{wpl|Categories of New Testament manuscripts}}</ref><ref>[https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1974/new-testament-text-types/#:~:text=The%20main%20New%20Testament%20text,scholars%20add%20a%20fourth%2C%20Caesarean. New Testament Text-Types] by Peter Kauffer, 11 April, 2022, ''World History Encyclopedia''</ref> The KJV is translated from the Textus Receptus which is based on six Byzantine manuscripts, none dating prior to the 14th century. He mistakenly claims that Alexandrian manuscripts were from Alexandria. This is an academic classification of manuscripts which use the uncial script which was used in the earliest manuscripts and take its name from the Codex Alexandrius (Manuscript A) which is of of Greek origin, not Egyptian.

In a twist, he accuses those who "idolize" the original autographs (which in reality is no one) of committing "Catholic idolatry" due to their reverence for the original writings.<ref name="FAQ 4">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWffQqeN8rM FAQ 4: Is The KJV SUPERIOR To The Original Autographs?]</ref> Ironically, he elsewhere accuses Catholics of not having reverence for the Bible. He indicates that God himself didn’t care that Moses had no respect for the [[Ten Commandments]] when he shattered them by throwing them on the ground. He seems to have missed the fact that the stone tablets which the Bible records Moses as having shattered were not manuscripts of the Scriptures.
===At least the Earth's round?===
[[File:Denlingerew.png|thumb|Bryan explaining the existence of an absolute east and west on a globe.]]
In an FAQ, Bryan attempted to explain how the four corners of the earth found in the Bible could exist on a globe, that [[Stopped clock|thankfully he considers to be true]], in which there's a point on earth that can be reached that at which all movement is then southward (which is true) and likewise there is a point south which can be reached where all movement there on is northward (again, true).<ref name="Does The Bible Teach A Flat Earth">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exa5w3qG6lo FAQ 43: Does The Bible Teach A Flat Earth?]</ref> [[Not even wrong|He then argues that there is a point of east which can be reached where all further movement is west]], and vice versa, which is demonstrably false as a person could keep walking east or west and never arrive at a point which which would cause him or her to travel west or east respectively. Ever the dingbat, he envisions that there’s an East and West Pole but people don’t like talking about it.

===Doubly inspired or new inspiration?===
Bryan claims that the KJV was translated by the Holy Spirit of God. However, he claims that he doesn’t teach that it isn’t a product of double inspiration, and explains that the 47 people and the earlier 54 who worked on the KJV between 1604 and 1611 knew what to write down, which is why it’s God's book and other versions aren't.<ref name="Salvation Has NEVER Been By Faith Alone">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvvddbofrKE Salvation Has NEVER Been By "Faith Alone"!]</ref> Being a Ruckmanite, his view meets the definition of the KJV being a new minting. Most KJV onlyists find this view too wacky even for them.  

Given that he claims that there are readings in the KJV that are not in the Greek texts,<ref name=Recommend></ref> one can conclude only that the KJV is Bible 2.0 updated and fully revised for a new era.

===Erasmus’ errors===
Bryan questions if Erasmus was a Catholic, why didn’t Catholics use his Textus Receptus.<ref name="Why the word Easter is in the King James Bible">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-nXm516M9o Why the word Easter is in the King James Bible]</ref> The simple reason is that it was a flawed prepared text and they knew it. The Vatican Library already housed manuscripts which were 1,100 years older than the oldest underlying manuscripts used for the Textus Receptus, which were six<ref name="PDW">Wegner, Paul D The Journey from Texts to Translations - The Origin and Development of the Bible; Paker Academic; ISBN 0-8010-2799-3; pg 337</ref> incomplete Byzantine manuscripts. Also, the Pope had native speakers of both languages, which not even one translator of the KJV could claim to be. The result was when the [[Douay-Rheims]] Bible was evaluated by a computer algorithm designed by Protestants themselves and was determined to be the most accurate English Bible<ref name="NANTGalgo">Clontz, T.E. (2008), ''The Comprehensive New Testament''. Clewiston: Cornerstone Publications. ii, iii, vii; graphs on iii and back cover.</ref> even though it was a translation of a translation which happened to be based on a text 1,000 years older than the manuscripts of the Textus Receptus.

Parallel to Erasmus, the Grand Inquisitor Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros (a native Hebrew speaker - he was a Jew) created the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, which relied on the critical texts in the Vatican instead of the late era majority text Bibles which accumulated errors over time. It’s in this tradition which the current benchmark the Nestle Aland Novum Testamentum Graece follows.<ref name="NANTGalgo"/> That relies heavily on manuscripts and codices provided by the Vatican because they preserved copies of the oldest Bibles in both Greek and Latin.

When facing criticism of this, Denlinger ran instead to Theodore Beza’s editions as being a source of the KJV,<ref name="Wasnt Erasmus A Catholic">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pljkPAwklK8&t FAQ: 10 Wasn't Erasmus A Catholic?]</ref> jumping from the frying pan to the fire. Beza used the Codex Bazae<ref name="Codex Bezae">{{cite web |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04083a.htm |title=Codex Bezae |last=Knight |first=Kevin |date=2017 |website=www.newadvent.org |publisher=New Advent |access-date=April 25, 2022}}</ref>, which he stole from a monastery in Lyon, France during the Wars of Religion. The manuscript was a polyglot prepared by the Catholic Church which uses the Greek text which academics consider Alexandrian script while being overall a Western manuscript for its inclusion of a Latin translation.

==Witches stole all the symbols==
[[File:Agnus_Dei_Teaching_School_Alliance.gif|thumb|left|Agnus Dei - The Lamb of God.]]
Bryan has a knack for finding hidden meanings when simpler, more rational explanations exists. Much of his material engages in apophenia and [[pareidolia]] to vent against susceptible people. Nearly everything takes on a meaning associated with the NWO, whether it be flags, signs, or shapes.

According to him, the Pope went to [[Egypt]] and brought over the obelisk, a pagan phallic symbol, and erected it in St. Peter’s Square and he questions as to why it couldn't have been made in Rome.<ref name="What About The Jesus Fish">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5TX5lCufJs What About The Jesus Fish?]</ref>{{dead}} The Vatican Obelisk was brought from Egypt by {{wpl|Augustus Caesar}} and was erected at the Circus of Nero (or Caligula).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dibner |first=Bern |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BAUqDwAAQBAJ&newbks=0&hl=en |title=Moving the Obelisks:: A Chapter in Engineering History in which the Vatican Obelisk in Rome in 1586 was Moved by Muscle Power |date=2017-06-28 |publisher=Pickle Partners Publishing |isbn=978-1-78720-481-2 |language=en}}</ref> Old St. Peter’s Basilica was built there,<ref name="botv">{{cite journal | author = Boorsch, Suzanne | date = Winter 1982–1983 | title = The Building of the Vatican: The Papacy and Architecture | journal = The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin | volume = 40 | issue = 3 | pages = 4–8 |url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/metpublications/the_building_of_the_vatican_the_papacy_and_architecture_the_metropolitan_museum_of_art_bulletin_v_40_no_3_winter_1982_1983}}</ref> where Peter, the Apostles, and many others were martyred. When the Basilica was rebuilt, the Chigi family donated the obelisk so it could be erected in its original location to remember the martyrs. 

In a sermon smearing a nearby church, the Denlingers explored the symbolism behind the Angus Dei. According to them, it is of a Catholic military order and the sun burst (halo) symbolizes Nimbus (a nonexistent deity in a nonexistent pantheon). Given their ignorance, it’s the halo itself which is a cloud symbolizing sanctity of the person. He questions why Protestants would use an obvious Catholic symbol for the Godhead as it isn't Biblical.<ref name="The Charismatic Catholic CULT Next Door"/>{{dead}} Surprisingly, he didn't realize that the symbol modeled after {{bible|John|1|29}}.

Bryan considers himself an artist and "coming from the art world",<ref name="What About Ballet And Dance For Christian Girls">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU5-sqEiHgU FAQ 87: What About Ballet And Dance For Christian Girls?]</ref> and since he worked as a woodturner, he is an artist, but considers most art perverted. 

He plays the part of the village idiot in a sermon against Medieval and Renaissance art. According to him, such art encourages pedophilia and is the work of perverts. The sermon's purpose was to “wake up the Catholic people to the fact their system has always been corrupt” and that “these paintings have no basis in scripture, and merely show the perversion of the artists who painted them.” He goes on to ask his audience, pointing at Cherubs as to where in the Bible there are “naked babies with wing flying in full nudity”?

==We don’t need no education==
Bryan despises formal education, whether it be in the liberal arts or in theology, and even high school. For him, working and being productive instead of receiving an education is somewhat of a Christian ideal.<ref name="The Occult Origins Of Sudoku">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPvRMtinTjg The Occult Origins Of Sudoku By Bryan Denlinger]</ref>
To the Denlingers, all formal education is based on the Jesuitical method and connected to their system.<ref name="The Occult Origins Of Sudoku"/><ref name="Steven Anderson's Catholic Connection Pt 1"/> The Jesuits were Europe's schoolmasters and have influenced the modern education system which exists in most of the world.

==Don’t forget to wear your tin foil hats==
[[Image:Denlingersmindcontrol.png|thumb|The Denlingers preaching about [[mind control]].]]
According to the Denlingers, God hates those who put themselves in authority over others, and it’s what being a Nicolaitan is. Bryan claims a Nicolaitan practices mind control over others, and Diotrephes was one who loved to wield power over his church and claim it for himself.<ref name = "The Basic Mind Control Formula">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgDGH1AdiSA The Basic Mind Control Formula By Bryan Denlinger]</ref> This however contradicts Early Christian writers such as Irenaeus, who indicated that they were idolaters and fornicators,{{efn|The Nicolaitanes are the followers of that Nicolas who was one of the seven first ordained to the diaconate by the apostles. They lead lives of unrestrained indulgence. The character of these men is very plainly pointed out in the Apocalypse of John, (when they are represented) as teaching that it is a matter of indifference to practise adultery, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Wherefore the Word has also spoken of them thus: "But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate."<br/>
''Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Ch.1 Bk.26 Pr.3''}} and Clement of Alexandria implied that they gave in to their vices to overcome them.{{efn|Such also are those (who say that they follow Nicolaus, quoting an adage of the man, which they pervert, that the flesh must be abused.

But they, abandoning themselves to pleasure like goats, as if insulting the body, lead a life of self-indulgence; not knowing that the body is wasted, being by nature subject to dissolution; while their soul is buried in the mire of vice; following as they do the teaching of pleasure itself, not of the apostolic man.<br/>''Clement of Alexandria, The Stromata Bk. 2 Ch. 20 Sec. 3-4''}}

Bryan claims that everyone has been subject to mind control, and any relationship with an authority is exactly that. It’s how pastors control members, doctors control patients and professors control students. He suggests practicers are programmers and the subjects are victims. The programmer would physically and verbally abuse the victim, and would later flatters them into thinking the relationship is equal.

Churches are filled with Diotrephes like pastors, filled with pride and arrogance,<ref name="The Basic Mind Control Formula"/> and have microwave emitters in the steeples through which mind control can be asserted.<ref name="Why Are Churches Hiding ANTENNAS In Their Steeples"/> When a pastor feels that a person makes him/her feel uncomfortable, he/she will use mind control to put the opponent down. Pastors want to assert control over the church by wanting congregants to help with cleaning or social events. If you question the pastor's authority, you're labeled a troublemaker or a rebel.<ref name="The Basic Mind Control Formula"/>  

Sounds like he doesn’t want other charlatans taking potential recruits, because they are seen as competitors in the business, fleecing some naïve sucker out of his earnings, and there is only so many to go around.

==Segregation==
The Denlingers are in favor of [[segregation]] laws and kindred marriages, and Bryan equated those in [[interracial marriage]] to that of “pervert [[sodomite|sodomites]]” (Which he would later deny<ref name="Weird And Funny Comments P3">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajIwt9ymBEo Weird And Funny Comments: Part 3]</ref>) and describes proponents as liberals, communists and Satanists. He teaches that people need to be kept within their racial habitations.<ref name="Israel Bans Book On Interracial Marriage">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCvUaoLWtxM Israel Bans Book On Interracial Marriage!]</ref> When questioned as to why he doesn’t do the same, he claimed he wouldn't be as free in Germany.<ref name="Answering An Agnostics Questions"/> Foreigners who come to the US for the same reasons as he does must leave while he gets to stay?
He bills himself as a proponent of separation of church and state and claims that it must be maintained. However, in the case of miscegenation, it's 
pretty much a 180. He praises Israel for having such laws in its books. Outside a few boneheads who don't want Jews engaging in inter-religious marriage (they have no problems with interracial marriage if one chooses to convert), there's no law preventing interracial/religious marriage.

Bryan considers this racial unity to be among the gravest sins, which has brought on the End Times, and God's wrath.<ref name="Answering Comments On The Interracial Marriage Study">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9I5B9unxXA Answering Comments on The Interracial Marriage Study]</ref> In a sermon, he posits that God hated Esau for his marriage to two Hittite women, whom he claims are descendants of Ham, thus forfeiting his birthright.<ref name="Does God Love LOST Sinners"></ref> Perhaps, he should have picked up a book on the Hittite civilization, which ranged from what is today Northern Lebanon, through to Syria and Turkey. The Hittites were a people living just south of the Caucasian mountains from which the word "Caucasian" is derived, and if he actually read the Bible, he would've known that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for some food. 

He claims that God wanted Israel to slaughter Africans and Arabs because they are a vile degenerate people,<ref name="ONE Religion For The World"></ref> and has gone after other pastors employing his usual name-calling preaching style for marrying outside their race.

As usual, Catholics end up being the arch antagonists as they do not follow what, according to Bryan, is taught in his Bible - actually his insanely contorted reading of such which he uses to mask his racism. He accuses the Vatican of forcing all people to integrate and get along.<ref name="Answering Comments On The Interracial Marriage Study"/> The Catholic Church promotes racial unity where there is no distinction between races as God has foreordained and is to be preserved in the Millennial Kingdom.<ref name="Are The Denlingers Racist"/> Here, his screed picks up from Phelps who drawn on historic attacks against Catholicism. In 1907 William Montgomery Brown, the Episcopalian Bishop of Arkansas known for his support of church segregation laws to stop miscegenation, launched an attack on Catholics by claiming they ("negro and white traditionalists") objected to the plan because it was against Catholicism: Catholicity of the Church, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.<ref name="Almighty God Created the Races"/> The secular media is no better. Films are produced which attempt to normalize interracial relationships which is unbiblical.
As those of mixed heritage, Bryan provides options, don't marry, stop breeding and making more mutts, find someone of the same racial mixture or [[Incest|marry among your kinfolk]].<ref name="Answering Comments On The Interracial Marriage Study"/> As for already interracial married couples on whether they should divorce, he says that it's between them and God, but they're living in sin.<ref name="What About Interracial Marriage?

In a sermon, he mimicked an East [[India|Indian]] accent in an effort to mock an Indian minister.<ref name="The Imminent Return Of The Lord Jesus Christ">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIY237Lbfqg&t The Imminent Return Of The Lord Jesus Christ]</ref> An undercurrent of racism is a constant theme in many of Bryan's sermons.

Besides, Jesus, himself had many gentiles in his genealogy. Bryan forgets that his God's linage was speckled with gentile women - Tamar (a Canaanite), Rahab (also a Canaanite) and Ruth (a Moabite). His God does not meet his standards and if segregation was enforced, there would not be 
no Jesus nor
 a precious KJV. There's also the account of Moses who married Sephora, an Ethiopian. When Moses' brother and sister (Aaron and Miriam) spoke against Moses because of his interracial marriage, God cast upon leprosy upon Miriam ({{bible|Numbers|12|1|10|}}). He contends that God couldn't punish Moses for his sin because Aaron and Miriam would try and take away Moses' authority, while claiming that Moses' wife nagged him which caused Moses to strike the rock twice which made God angry - yes, this is nowhere in the Old Testament, but this is the narrative which is brewed on the spot to fit his own racist agenda.

Bryan was flagged for racist content on Sermon Audio, a for-pay member-driven sermon sharing website.<ref name="Free-Birthing Video Ordered To Be Removed From Sermon Audio">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9ACjOqqL0 Free-Birthing Video Ordered To Be Removed From Sermon Audio!]</ref> His claims that interracial couples having children lead to birthing complication are from a misrepresented Stanford University study, which was based on C-section rates among Asians and Caucasian couples. According to it, rates were found to be 26% for Asian couples, 33.2% for Asian-mother/white-father couples, 23% for white-mother/Asian-father couples and 28.7% for white couples.<ref name"Pregnancy Risks">[https://www.medpagetoday.com/obgyn/pregnancy/11111 Phend, Crystal; ''Pregnancy Risks Differ for Interracial Couples'', October 1, 2008; medpagetoday.com]</ref> The study conclusion was due to Asian women's smaller stature and correspondingly to the pelvic opening lead to some birthing complications in some instances due to the baby's weight. If averaged out, the value of 28.1% for interracial couples is .6% less than white only couples. He unintentionally proves time and time again that he's a racist simpleton who's either unable to perform simple calculations and reading or knowingly lies.

Bryan ascribes to the belief that black people are descended from Ham, whose son Canaan was cursed by Noah, for no fault of his own.<ref name="Are The Denlingers Racist"/> The [[Curse of Ham]] was first disseminated by the Lutheran pastor Johann Ludwig Hahnemann in the 17th century.<ref name="Almighty God Created the Races">{{cite book | last = Botham | first = Fay | author-link = | title = Almighty God Created the Races: Christianity, Interracial Marriage, and American Law | publisher = The University of North Carolina Press | series = | volume = | edition = | date = February 1, 2013 | location = | pages =288 | language = | url = | doi = | id = | isbn = 978-1469607276 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }}</ref><ref name="Black and Slave">{{cite book | last = Goldenberg | first = David M. | author-link = | title = Black and Slave | publisher = De Gruyter | series = Studies of the Bible and Its Reception | volume = 10 | edition = | date = June 22, 2017 | location = | pages =340 | language = | url = | doi = | id = | isbn = 978-3110521665 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }}</ref> He claims that each race should look to the KJV and follow what's indicated as their correct status. 
According to him, Jesus called blacks dogs, referencing {{bible|Matthew|15|22|28}}. Due to the woman submitting to her Biblical position, Jesus gave into her wish.
The correct stations in life according to him is the following:<ref name="Are The Denlingers Racist"/><br/>
*Shem (Jews): Blessed be the Lord God of Shem
*Cannan (Blacks): Be a servant of servants to thy brethren
*Japheth (Whites): God shall enlarge Japheth
Thus the Hamites should embrace their divinely destined role to be slaves to Japheth and be proud of it. Like Phelps, he implies slavery is the preordained state of blacks, and a saved one will accept it. Also, he mentions that no Hamite will be permitted in the house of the Lord in the Millennial Kingdom, even if they’re saved.<ref name="Are The Denlingers Racist"/>  

Moreover, he believes that Latin is an African (Hamitic) language, and Catholicism originated in Egypt.<ref name="Answering Comments On The Interracial Marriage Study"/> The inscription above the crucified Jesus was written in Hebrew (Seth), Greek (Japheth) and Latin (Ham).<ref name="FAQ 25">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTaJdwWubDM FAQ 25: Why Were There Three Different Things Written On The Cross?]</ref> (Didn’t the Catholic Church, according to him, originate in Babylon?) Would it also not then follow, that this "African language" brought civilization to Europe? Given that the KJV is written in the Latin alphabet, would it not be a black Bible?
====Criticism====
The reality is that Jews and Catholics both postulate that these persons are Hittites (known as Canaanites in the Old Testament). The Canaanites were a Caucasian tribe which lived in and around the area of Syria and northern Palestine. Jews avoided them because they were idolaters and dealing with them would violate ritual purity takkanot, causing them to have to perform a ritual ablution before taking any further part in Jewish religious life. This understanding is further supported by the same account in {{bible|Mark|7|25|29}} where the same woman is called a gentile of Syro-Phoenician nationality which geographically coincides with being a Hittite.

==Nutbar feudings==
Bryan tends to "rebuke" and "chastise" his critics and believes God requires him to rebuke those whom he considers heretics. Part of this effort, he and Katherine have on-going feuds with fellow [[Crank|nutbars]] such as [[Steven Anderson|Steven "Andersnake" Anderson]], [[Kent Hovind]] and Sam Gipp. He claims that Anderson is a Jesuit temporal coadjutor<ref name="Was I Wrong About Sam Gipp">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7NyaWtl68E Was I Wrong About Sam Gipp?]</ref> - a silly made up title which is awarded to certain opponents. 

===Andersnake===
The Denlingers have had a long-running feud with Anderson. They hold to the KJV (Though their takes are different), and share similar views on philosophy, Catholics and [[creationism]], only differing substantially on supersessionism and the Rapture. Since they are so closely aligned, they compete for the same bloc of empty-headed followers. When Sam Gipp, another crank, buried a hatchet with Anderson's padawan, Collin Schneide, Bryan believed Gipp was attacking him, and mistook Gipp's accusation of Anderson associating with a former pornographer, as an attack on him.<ref name="A Public Rebuke Of Sam Gipp">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEt9hJ608yg A Public Rebuke Of Sam Gipp By Bryan Denlinger]</ref> A sitcom script worthy of Three's Company, indeed.

According to Katherine, Anderson is a Catholic involved in military psyops, and that her experience helped her recognize his use of "military" buzzwords such a "spearhead", "operation", "touring" and "mission", yet misidentifies a Botswanan immigration officer as a major general in the [[South African]] military, as well as a Lutheran pastor, Mampane, as a Catholic priest as he wears clerical collar, calling him "Gigabo". She also condemned Anderson for using "inflammatory [[PC]] talk" by calling LGBT people "homosexuals" to get them roused up, insisting that "[[sodomite]]" should be used.<ref name="Steven Anderson's Catholic Connection Pt 1">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C-OkNilemw Steven Anderson's Catholic Connection: Part 1]</ref> The fact that this was stated should one baffled. In the same sermon, she accused him of using the Hegelian Dialectic to act as the "good cop" and using CAPOC terminology.

{{QuoteBox|These guys [Anderson and his allies] will come out and say inflammatory stuff and yet they will never go to prison, they will never get kicked off YouTube,<ref group=note>Hindsight’s quite a thing</ref> they will never get kicked off, you know things like this. They Oh been banned from certain countries. Please! Please! And and again the military works hand in hand with the Vatican. Whatever, you know, like me, if you are not convinced by now there is nothing we can really do for you.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQ2YlgJV4Q Steven Anderson's Catholic Connection: Part 2]</ref>}}

===Robert Faker Breaker===
Bryan has criticized Breaker and others who monetize their videos on YouTube, and by doing so, they’re being supported by sinners.<ref name="breaker">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS_KNZlpjDw Robert Breaker Admits To Monetization, And LYING To Get More Money]</ref> This is despite Bryan requesting donations through PayPal (which he terms a sodomite company) without verifying if the donors are saved.  

He has, in the past, questioned how Breaker could have more subscribers than him and Anderson when they’re both preaching the same message, when all he does is stand by a whiteboard and draw.<ref name="Comment From A Friend Of Robert Breaker">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IFiT8FqUmw Comment From A Friend Of Robert Breaker By Bryan Denlinger]</ref> While Breaker is just as given to the same wingnuttery as him, he delivers his message with far greater eloquence, has an education, and is officially “ordained”. He doesn't come across as a hick from the backwoods who picked up a Bible and began sermonizing about his pay grade. That as well as his Rapture videos he makes that act as clickbait. Above all, Breaker studied under Ruckman. Bryan only managed to get his Bible signed by him.

==Not fun in my book==
The Denlingers see the world similarly to the regicidal theocratic killjoys of the 17th century, who had most entertainment outlawed and people punished for small offenses. It figures that one of Bryan's heroes would be the Lord Protector himself, Oliver Cromwell. 

According to them, participating in sports or even spectating is wrong.<ref name="Should Christians Be Involved In Sports">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnMlMPrKQLI FAQ 82: Should Christians Be Involved In Sports?]</ref> Sporting figures and great athletes are an abomination in the sight of God because they're highly esteemed among men, and have become great by putting other people down. Sports makes people prideful and encourages the spirit of competition which is not from God. Even board games encourage pride and competition and should be avoided as well. However, throwing a ball around in the backyard or a little game with kids is fine as long as it doesn’t lead to pride or competition. They claim that sports can cause gender confusion because of immodest dress,<ref name="What About Christian Girls And Sports">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_6voBCPdmk FAQ 88: What About Christian Girls And Sports?]</ref> and that parents put a great deal of pressure on children to participate in athletics, which is detrimental. He recommends that it is better that boys be taught to work and that girls be trained in housekeeping instead.<ref name="Should Christians Be Involved In Sports"></ref> The most telling part of the sermon was Katherine spending slightly over 75% of a sermon showing off albums filled with pictures of her athletic past, assuming its wickedness.<ref name="What About Christian Girls And Sports"></ref> The photographs were taken by her doting parents who were obviously proud of her athletic prowess.

Bryan absolutely opposes ballet for children, and that men who perform in it are effeminate sodomites, blaming both Charles I and II for its acceptance.<ref name="What About Ballet And Dance For Christian Girls"></ref> Most who claim to be artists would think that the ballet was of Italian and French origin from the High Renaissance era, about 200 years before the Commonwealth.

Katherine, wanting to stick it to Sudoku, feeling a sense of frustration, Googled the term ''Jesuit Sudoku''. The result was a rant on the evils of Sudoku, determining that it was Ancient Chinese magic brought to Europe by the Jesuits, who introduced Leonhard Euler, the Swiss mathematician and physicist to it. She and Bryan advise followers to burn any satanic material that they own.<ref name="The Occult Origins Of Sudoku"/>

==COVID? What COVID?==
{{expand section}}
{{cquote|Hey people you wanna line up and get the vaccine?! You wanna get your flu shot?! You wanna get whatever you want?! Fine! Go die in your sins and go to Hell and burn! Period!||| Bryan's stance towards vaccinations in "The Serious SIN of Vaccination"<ref>[https://rumble.com/vgmewn-the-serious-sin-of-vaccination.html The Serious SIN Of Vaccination]</ref>}}

The Denlingers have promoted multiple conspiracy theories surrounding [[COVID-19]], ranging from claiming it was patented by the Pirbright Institute,<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gk2T2v9_b2c The Truth About Coronavirus-Bryan Denlinger]</ref> to [[COVID-19 denialism|downplaying its severity, to flat out denying its existence]] all while Bryan tries proving its nonexistence with [[Koch's postulates]].<ref>[https://rumble.com/vlu6gp-there-is-no-coronavirus.html There Is No "Coronavirus"] by KingJamesVideoMinistries, ''Rumble''</ref> He cites an article about the postulates from the NIH, but when you read a paragraph below the postulates, it mentions that Koch noticed asymptomatic carriers of cholera invalidating one of his postulates.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3775492/#:~:text=As%20originally%20stated%2C%20the%20four,%3B%20and%20finally%20(4)%20The What does it take to satisfy Koch’s postulates two centuries later? Microbial genomics and Propionibacteria acnes] by Julia A. Segre, July 11, 2013, ''PubMed'' ''National Institute of Health''</ref> This could mean Bryan doesn't do enough research on [[Dunning Kruger effect|topics he seems confident about]] or he's [[Consequentialism|lying in order to get his way and gain converts]]. With this, he became outspoken on his defiance of preventative measures such as mask wearing and social distancing, and promoted his followers to do the same, and to avoid preachers who follow such measures.<ref>[https://rumble.com/vgm1zx-how-covid19-is-causing-teotwaki.html?e9s=src_v1_upp How Covid19 Is Causing TEOTWAKI]</ref>

===Anti-vaccination standings===
Given the Denlingers' positions on COVID, even veering into [[germ theory denial]], [[Anti-vaccination movement|it should be obvious on what their stance towards vaccines are]]. They are adamantly opposed not only to [[COVID-19 vaccine]]s, but all vaccines in general.

{{QuoteBox|It has come out that they put in nano technology, artificial intelligence into these vaccines, it's why people are having magnets stick to the spot where they got vaccinated. And literally, there was a guy that tested the electric field of it, it's the same thing as a computer! In other words, it's transmitting. What I believe it's going to be is, it's an antenna that they can set off somethings when the time is right. [[Depopulation conspiracy theory|So these people are going to start dying that have been vaccinated]]<ref>[https://rumble.com/vhep2z-bombshell-on-the-covid-death-shot.html BOMBSHELL On The Covid DEATH Shot!]</ref>}}

His willful ignorance is painful to behold for anyone who can comprehend basic reasoning. The COVID Vaccine doesn't cause a person to become magnetized because it doesn't contain any magnetic or magnetizing ingredients. Added is the fact that the human body doesn't attract magnetic objects. Even if the vaccine was loaded with magnets, there is not enough concentration to cause a magnetic reaction.{{citation needed}} 

{{QuoteBox|You are trying to inject a disease into a healthy body..they put the COVID virus in you supposedly, but then they put a bunch of chemicals in to make your body violently react to the disease that they put in and so in theory it should kind of build your immunity. We'll build your immunity by destroying your immunity!<ref>[https://rumble.com/vkjoip-why-most-christians-are-no-longer-militant.html Why Most Christians Are No Longer Militant]</ref>}}

The mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna do not contain the actual virus and work differently than other vaccines. Vaccines save millions each year and have eradicated diseases such as smallpox. However, these facts don’t fit into the Denlingers' world that was built over the years, so it’s ignored.
