Rodger Wilson Davis: The Adulterer

 Rodger Wilson Davis: The
Adulterer

We spoke with a man, who years ago attended the  ntcc seminary; which, at that time, was called the New Testament Christian College, in St. Louis, Missouri.  He said not long after he and his wife arrived in St. Louis, (less than a week after), they  and the couple they were staying with drove up to the church and saw a man holding a rifle on R. W. Davis.  There were loud words exchanged, and the man with the rifle and R. W. Davis left in one car, with rw driving and the other man in the back seat still holding the gun on rw.  The new bible school student, the man with whom I spoke, and the other brother he came to church with, got in their car and caught up with them; at which time rw motioned with his hand to go ahead, to move on; which they did.  Upon returning to their house, the other brother retrieved his gun and left again to find rw.

The man,  who was present and witnessed these things first hand told them to me in a phone conversation.  He told me the name of the man who held the gun on r.w. davis, and that confirmed the name I had already been told; others knew that davis had committed adultery with that man's wife (and then some).  This is the same event that I have previously discussed on The Dispatch, according to what was reported to me.  The two stories have one variation.  In The Dispatch article, those reporting the matter said that the betrayed man with the gun forced davis to kneel  and told him "You better pray."  The man on the phone did not see that.  His story, I believe, happened after davis and the betrayed man exited the church.  As the witness said, he, the other brother, and their wives had just driven up to the church (on Forest Ave.) and saw what is shared above.  In my mind, these stories are congruent and accurate, with only a slight variation in the time at which the witnesses saw their part of the event.

This true true story describes the fallout caused by the adultery that davis committed against only one family.  But there are other instances of davis slinking around doors of other mens' wives, all while these husbands were at work.  Other women have shared how they saw davis knocking on doors of young (still not legal adults) married girls who attended the bible school.  One of those young girls said davis committed illicit sexual acts with her, taking advantage of his position of trust and her naivety.  These other women present during that time witnessed davis entering this girl's home.  And, they said, davis also tried to get them to open their doors for him while their husbands were at work; but they did not do so.

Also, on a different blog, a former ntcc Bible School instructor and minister, Vic Johanson shared this testimony:

Vic Johanson said...
Speaking of RW's ways, I was talking to an NTCC escapee the other day, and he said that he was talking to a minister in his town, whose father was from St. Louis. He related that his father had donated his book collection to a startup bible college there, whose founder was implicated in some adulterous affairs shortly thereafter. He couldn't remember the name, so my friend said "might it have been Davis?" and the guy immediately replied "RW Davis."

We were just the last to find out; that information was hidden from us. All we heard was how the Carondelet church "didn't want holiness." The truth appears that they didn't want a philandering "pastor."

These multiple witnesses verify the adulterous nature of davis. He is an impenitent adulterer.  And what's worse is he condemns some men for lesser sins, while excusing others like phil kinson who have shown no indication of repentance.  God is not a respecter of persons:

Act 10:34  Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

He can forgive all who are willing to confess their sin; as it is written:

1Jo 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The problem with hypocrites like davis is that they feel they have no need of a physician.  They think they are better than "sinners".  They are afraid to be around them, afraid their self-righteous reputations might take a hit.  But Jesus ate with the sinners:

Mar 2:16  And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

But davis is full of self-righteousness and pride,  boasting:

"I can't remember the last time I sinned."--r w davis brags.  But the bible says:

1John 1:8  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1John 1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

davis' boasting is outlandish (at best) or devilish deceit (at worst), and such boasting calls God a liar.  But the bible says God cannot lie:

Titus 1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

 It is impossible for God, The Truth, to lie:

Hebrews 6:18  That by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Stilll, some men insist on living in deceitful denial of their sin.  I, just like Alan Parsons, wouldn't want to be like them either:

Instead, we cry out:

"Sir, we would see Jesus!" - John 12:21 (partial) (here)

One day each of us will die. Will you really hear "Well done, good and faithful servant...."? Or will it be "Bind him hand and foot, ... and cast him into outer darkness...."? (Matthew 22:13)  The saddest death of all was that of Israel's first King, Saul. For he was rejected by God. (1 Sam 16:1)  Yes, King Saul had been anointed. But he refused to obey. He couldn't see who truly loved him. As a result he hunted like a dog, the man, David, who fought for God, for Israel, and for love of the very man who was trying to kill him, Saul. David would succeed Saul as King of Israel, not due to any treachery of David's; but simply because God had so ordained it. When Saul was dead, David wept and lamented the loss of Saul and Jonathan [2 Sam 1:17-27].

I've lost respect for davis and his closest followers and supporters.  But like David, I will mourn their deaths and remember what could have been or should have been.  It's not that these men were not anointed; I believe they were.  But I believe they forsook that anointing and the God Who bought them with His blood.  They wanted the world.  And just as the audio version of The Pilgrim's Progress stated:  "Those who take up Christ to gain the world, will lose Christ to keep the world."  That's how I see these men who run the business, the organization called New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.  They would rather keep their money, than allow God to keep them.

The first video, a mash-up of Alan Parsons' "I Robot" and "I Wouldn't Want to be Like You" contains a screen shot (~5:57-6:00~) of the movie, "I, Robot" starring Will Smith.  The subtitle reads "One man saw it coming."  How fitting.  One man saw it coming, and didn't want to be like you, r.w.!

In Case You Were Wondering:
If so many people know about these acts of adultery, why haven't they come forward?  It seems that for some reason folks have largely remained silent about this.  Perhaps they discussed it more in different forums.  Perhaps they are trying to protect the victims.  Yet God had His servants record in the bible both  the names of  Bathseba and David when they committed adultery. Perhaps people  are afraid of the false ntcc doctrine that "touch not mine anointed" means one can't speak about an anointed one's sin?  The bible clearly shows "anointed" ones being rebuked for their sins.  Nathan rebuked David for his sin of adultery.  And David challenged Saul for hunting him for no reason.  But David would not let his men physically harm Saul.  That is the difference.  We know David obtained mercy despite committing adultery and murder by proxy.    David repented.  He did not continue in sin.  He obtained mercy and truly turned from his sin.

What will you do, rw?  Will you continue to play the "Games People Play?  Will you continue to spout off that you are the "Eye in the Sky" when that title belongs to Another? Will you seize this opportunity to repent?  Or will the "Time" come when we mourn you, "Goodbye, My Friend" like it says in the song or as Christ called Judas Iscariot "Friend"?

Mat 26:48  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

Mat 26:49  And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

Mat 26:50  And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Luk 22:48  But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

I've come to wonder over the years why that man, Alan Parsons, didn't pull the trigger on old r.w.  I suppose 'twas mercy stayed his hand.  Yet 44+ years later, viewing, from hindsight, the aftermath of destruction wrought upon the untold unsuspecting souls by davis and his disciples, I again have to wonder; Would it have been more merciful to pull the trigger?  One down, thousands spared years of grief and destruction, of sexual immorality and perversion, of child and wife abuse, of fractured faith and frustrated futures.  Well, only God knows.  He is the True Eye In The Sky.  He is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish:

2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

So how 'bout it, rahj?  Will you for once in your life repent?  There's still hope, as long as you're still breathing.  Right?  Isn't that what you or olson taught?  There's hope as long as still breathing.  Unless those breaths are taken from a person's death-bed or by the thief on the cross; right?  That is also what you taught.  Well, rahj, which way would you want it for you on your deathbed?  Why teach two things that contradict each other and try to claim, as r w davis so often has:

"I've never missed God."--by which Rodger Wilson Davis claimed to mean that he was infallible, never missing the will of God; but now I wonder if it really means he is no longer troubled by the absence of God from his life; rodger never missed God.

"All I do is by the Holy Ghost."--Rodger Wilson Davis' claim to infamy.  Puh-leez don't blaspheme the Sweet Holy Spirit, rodger, by blaming the Holy Ghost for all the wicked stuff you've done.  The Holy Ghost never told you to commit adultery!

And how about it, readers?  Did you, as I once did, hold these men in high esteem?  Were you, as was I, duped?  Don't despair.  The bible said every man a liar:

Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Are you broken by the borg?  Trust Jesus.  God is able to keep that which is committed unto Him:

2Ti 1:12  For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

I don't hold much hope for davis and his impenitent ilk to repent.  But, beloved, for those who have been broken by the borg-scoundrels, I believe better things for you:

1 Tim 6:6-10
