Carol Goodenough was the teenage daughter of the Goodenough’s who provided a cottage for Lake and his family to live in after …

  1. I tried to review this video with an open mind. I have to say this was a waste of time. It missed the mark. He had two wives die, not divorce so why is it not allowed to want to marry a 17 year old girl when she turned 18. I understand the family not wanting this but fraud or evil intent or affair or sin is not a given.
    I am looking for a red flag and tried to review the situation by what the bible holds to and cant see a violation of the bible let or Gods instruction.

  2. Curry Blake & his dominion theology are a JOKE! He is not fit to be teaching anybody let alone ordaining ministers! He’s an adherent of John G Lake who has been proven to be a FRAUD and a Charlatan!

  3. Thank you for taking the time and investing what ever it takes to dig up the truth that is buried in the past. It can help individuals who are caught up in a deadly web of deception that can harm them spiritually in many ways.

  4. Thank you so much for all this research! The Lord has me on a journey to discover the Truth about these men around the turn of the century…John G. Lake and Charles Parham, etc, and I've been questioning the whole Azusa street movement. I'm being led to look at the roots of the Pentecostal movement. For years, I've been told these were great men of God. I want the Truth! I've been deceived by the current movement for so long. When you brought in the element of the actual documented news, I was amazed. Thank you for filling in the answers I've been searching for!

  5. Who CARES!!! All u have shown is that a widowed man fell for a pretty young woman. Have u no shame? A man is always gonna be a man, we are all human. Trying to crucify a man because he is "not perfect" make u a petty man. If u KNOW the Bible then understand that God does not call people who profess to be perfect, only those who know that what they do can only be done THROUGH God

  6. Whatever can be said about John G. Lake being engaged to a 17 year old, the first thing to note is that in 1909 in the State of Iowa, the woman Carol Goodenough was above the age of consent. Do an internet search to check that. I did.

    Even today in 2021, in the State of Iowa, age 17 is above the age of consent. Therefore, the fact that this video – which runs for 24 minutes – did not even mention that, shows the darkness that motivates this video.

    This guy calls it an “affair”. The word “affair” is the word used for a sexual misdemeanour, sexual sin. But nowhere, in his evidence, does he establish that there was any sexual immorality. So this video engages in slander to call this an “affair”, when the newspaper articles do not call it an affair.

    Name the sin before God that was broken, name the law in the United States that was broken – otherwise, this is egregious slander.

    When one article reports that Lake intended to marry – and the next article says they had no intention to marry – it could have been because they were not intending to marry immediately. That fact emerges when the newspaper articles are read as a whole.

    It is sad that people, like this video channel, are so ruthless that they concoct sins that do not exist at face value.

  7. I wonder who is lying? Johannesburg is 570km from the nearest harbour. Which imaginary dock did she run around on? They would have to fly to Johannesburg from Durban to be settled in the cottage on the same day. A total fabrication! Also, many very young girls were married off to old men in the day, so no scandal there! And where is proof of the seance? This is a bridge too far!

  8. What a shock. Lairdon, the self-appointed, posthumous-PR person for nouveau-spiritist charlatans didn’t write about Lake’s perversions and spiritual prostitutions. I simply can’t believe it. 🙄

  9. My name is Avram Yehoshua and I gave my life to Jesus in 1975. I’ve been a pastor since 1983, having been through the MDiv program at Oral Robert’s University.

    The Two Triangles consist of three Scripture verses each that the Lord Jesus, Paul, John, and the Book of Hebrews present concerning how Christians should walk out their faith in Jesus of Nazareth. They reveal the biblical way to follow Jesus Christ; not Church Way. If you can, try and disprove the concept that the six Scriptures within the Two Triangles present, not by bringing up Scripture outside the Triangles that you might think negates it, but by trying to expose any flaw you see in my reasoning about them. If you cannot, then my understanding is valid and should lead you to reconsider how you walk out your faith in Christ. The First Triangle’s three Scriptures are:

    1. The Apostle Paul states, “And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” (Col. 1:18)
    2. Hebrews declares, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Heb. 13:8)
    3. The Apostle John writes, “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1st John 2:6)

    If Jesus is our Head and we are His Body, and He is the same today as He was back in Israel 2,000 years ago, and John states that we’re ‘to walk just as He walked,’ shouldn’t we be keeping Passover and the other Feasts of Israel, as well as the 7th day Sabbath, just as Jesus did and also, not eating unclean animals like pig, shrimp, lobster and catfish? If Jesus had eaten bacon just once He would have been a sinner (Lev. 11:7).

    The Second Triangle speaks of the Gentiles being part of the Israel of God (Gal. 6:16), and so it seems obvious that they should be keeping the same rules and laws that God gave to Israel, just as Jesus and all His Apostles did all their lives (cf. Rom. 3:20, 31; 7:7, 12, 14; 11:13-29).

    1. Jesus says there are Two Flocks and that He will make them one Flock: “And other sheep I have (Gentiles), which are not of this Fold (Jews). Them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice, and there will be One Flock and One Shepherd.” (Jn. 10:16; cf. Lk. 2:32; Is. 42:6; 56:6-8)
    2. The Apostle Paul writes that Gentile Christians are grafted into the Olive Tree known as Israel: “For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?” (Rom. 11:24)
    3. Paul also speaks to the Gentiles and says, “Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the Covenants of Promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” (Eph. 2:11-13)

    If there is one Flock composed of both Jewish and Gentile believers in Christ, and Paul states that the Gentiles have been grafted in among them in the domesticated Olive Tree (Israel; Rom. 11:17), and he writes that Gentile Christians are part of the Commonwealth of Israel, how is that the Church meets on Sunday, Easter and Xmas, and eats unclean animals that were, and still are sin for Jesus, and therefore, His Body to eat? Why don’t Christians keep the Days and Ways of her Savior? 25 years after the Resurrection (Acts 21:20) the Jewish Christians were keeping Mosaic Law. Are there two different sets of rules for the Lord’s One Flock? I know there are Christians who will try and counter what I’ve presented with other Scriptures from the New Testament that they think overthrow the implication of the Two Triangles, like we’re “no longer under the Law,” but the problem with that is twofold. Aside from the pure simplicity of the New Testament Scripture that I’ve listed that presents Mosaic Law as God’s Way to walk out our faith in Christ, Christian understanding of what it means to no longer be under (Mosaic) Law is not biblical. (See No Longer Under the Law? at http://seedofabraham.net/No-Longer-Under-the-Law.pdf, and The Feasts of Israel and the Church http://seedofabraham.net/The-Feasts-of-Israel-and-the-Church.pdf.)

    If the 7th day Sabbath had been done away with by the Resurrection of Jesus on Sunday, wouldn’t God have placed at least two Scriptures to this monumental paradigm shift somewhere in the New Testament? Nowhere in the New Testament does it say that Sunday replaced the Sabbath, something we’d expect since God gave it to Israel in Exodus 16, which is even before Mt. Sinai and the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20). Israel had kept the Sabbath for more than 14 centuries by the time of Christ, and in Mark 2:28 Jesus states that He’s the Lord of the Sabbath. What Scripture declares He’s Lord of Sunday? (See Sunday—The Catholic Sabbath at http://seedofabraham.net/Sunday-The-Catholic-Sabbath.pdf.)

    If Easter (or Resurrection Sunday as some like to call it, trying to distance themselves from Rome’s pagan Easter) has replaced Passover (and the other Feasts of Israel; Lev. 23; Mt. 26:1ff.; 1st Cor. 5:6-8), where does God say that in the New Testament? Easter isn’t even mentioned in the New Testament, let alone observed by anyone. (The KJV has Easter in Acts 12:4, but the Greek reads Paska (Passover). All other Bibles correctly have Passover.)

    The same holds true for Xmas. No mention of it whatsoever. That’s because Sunday, Easter and Xmas, the eating of unclean animals and anti-Mosaic Law theology came into Christianity by the fiat of Pope Sixtus in 120 AD—not Jesus nor any of His Apostles. (See A Snapshot of Church History and Mosaic Law at http://seedofabraham.net/A-Snapshot-of-Church-History-and-Mosaic-Law.pdf.)

    Sunday, Easter, Xmas and the eating of unclean animals is Roman Catholic tradition that nullifies God’s Word (cf. Mt. 15:1-3). Rome’s Days and Ways have nothing to do with Jesus and His Days and Ways. And yes, I know all about Peter’s Vision (Acts 10), and what Jesus allegedly said, “declaring all foods clean” (Mk. 7:19), and also, what Paul wrote about eating foods (Rom 14:1ff.; 1st Tim. 4:4-5). There is no biblical justification for eating unclean foods like bacon and ham. Jesus is still Jewish, as He Himself declares to John at least 60 years after the resurrection: “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star” (Rev. 22:16 NKJV). It really doesn’t get ‘any more Jewish’ than Jesus saying He is the Root and Offspring of King David. (See Law 102 at http://seedofabraham.net/Law-102.pdf and Romans 14 and the Dietary Laws at http://seedofabraham.net/Romans-14-and-the-Dietary-Laws.pdf.)

    Concerning Mosaic Law and the Jewishness of Jesus, the angel Gabriel told Mary that Jesus would sit on the Throne of His Father David and rule over the House of Jacob (Israel) forever:

    “Then Gabriel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold! You will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son and shall call His name Yeshua (Jesus). He will be great and He will be called the Son of the Most High God, and the Lord God will give Him the Throne of His Father David and He will reign over the House of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end!’” (Luke 1:30-33)

    Jesus will return to rule for a thousand years from this earthly Jerusalem (Rev. 20:4-6; Ezk. 40ff.), and Mosaic Law will be the rules (Days and Ways) that all Christians will live by because as Paul states, Mosaic Law is holy and spiritual (Rom. 7:12, 14) and without it we don’t know the full extent of what sin is in God’s eyes (Rom. 3:20b; 7:7, 12, 14). In the Lord’s Kingdom, Mosaic Law will be established as the rules and laws for all Christians (Rom. 3:31; cf. Is. 66:23; Ezk. 40–47; Zech. 14:16; Acts 21:20-24f.; 25:8).

    The Two Triangles are New Testament Scripture after the Resurrection that reveal that Jesus wants you to follow Him His Way—not the Pope’s Way nor the way of any pastor who teaches against this Way of Christ. Please pray about this and consider changing your allegiance from Rome to Jerusalem. Jesus wants His Bride to throw off Rome’s Days and Ways. As God says about the Roman Catholic Church: “Come out of Her, My people! Lest you share in Her sins and receive of Her plagues!” (Rev. 18:4) Let’s discuss this further, unless of course you’d rather follow the Pope than Jesus. By the way, “the Lord’s Day” Rev. 1:10) never equates to Sunday in the NT. That’s Roman Catholic heresy.
