Billy the Kid's Faith
In articles
I have said that Billy the Kid was not killed by his friend Pat Garrett. Years
later Brushy (Billy) Bill asked for a pardon and was turned down by the Governor.
Billy was
fighting and getting revenge on white collar criminals who were taking over the
county, along with a crooked sheriff William Brady. Billy’s friend was murdered
by them. This was the Lincoln County War. He worked with an outlaw gang and was
falsely accused of killing someone. I believe it was the crooked sheriff.
Billy was an
agnostic. He and another man were in a house surrounded by gunmen. Billy’s
friend had faith in God, but Billy told him he trusted in his guns. In a
shootout in this house surrounded by a gang of killers, his friend went out
unarmed to face them holding a Bible, and was gunned down. Billy ran out
shooting and jumped on a horse and escaped. Who was right? Selah!
They were
both right. In this world you have to use physical methods, but using spiritual
knowledge is also important. We need to use both. Miracles are used only when
there is no other way. In Jesus day he performed miracles creating something
from nothing physical. Today God uses physical things to create miracles from
something that already exists. This is why it is hard to believe in miracles,
because you can explain them away as coincidences. It takes faith to believe in
them. If miracles were obvious then we would not need faith. God wants us to
trust in Him and not on physical things. All things work together for good to
those who trust in Him. When Peter walked on the water, he took his eyes off of
Jesus and turned his attention to the roaring waves.
Also, God
does not perform miracles for things that can be done using physical things.
Prayer does not always change things, there must be a spiritual purpose. Many
churches today have the Prosperity Gospel, if you have true faith in God he
will heal you and make you financially successful. They claim God must do what
you order, like a genie in a lamp fulfilling wishes. These churches get rich
fooling gullible believers.
Billy the
Kid, whose real name was Henry McCarty and used the alias William H. Bonney
Jr., was in jail at the time for having killed then-Sheriff William Brady.

I believe
that Brushy Bill was Billy the Kid. He wanted a pardon, but the state
government did not want to reopen the case.

Freemasons
were common in the United States in the 19th century, so a fair number of Old
West figures were members. Among them: Buffalo Bill Cody, Kit Carson, Lewis and
Clark, Davy Crockett (promoted by Disney a Mason), Daniel Boone, Jim Bowie, Jessie
James, Pat Garrett, and Sam
Houston (commander at the Alamo). Texas Ranger legends Jim Gillett, John B.
Jones and Jack Hays were freemasons. Some say Billy the Kid was a Mason, but
that’s not proven. The Montana Vigilantes, along with one of their victims,
Sheriff Henry Plummer, were reportedly members of the same lodge. Even Western
stars Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, John Wayne were masons.
