Welcome to the Way Of Strife Literature Web Site.
Way Of Strife
Literature is a 26-year old's response to a so-called "ministry"
that draws people away from Christ, not to Him. The founder/director of the original
Way of Life is David W.
Cloud. At this website you will find a vicious spoof of his un-Christlike material, but
you will also find a reasoned, loving and prayerfully (despite its appearance) humble response
to a man who has been the source of much anger and confusion on the Internet about the Christian
life. Be
sure to check out the Way Of Strife
Encyclopedia of the Bible & "Our Kind Of Christianity" and the End-Time Apostate Cloud Database, which critiques Cloud's original writings... and copyright
be darned under Fair Use! You can also
sign up for the Fundamental Baptist
Information Service, Cloud's actual e-mail postings which are delivered whenever
Cloud wakes up pokey some mornings and wants to rant against some poor nameless Catholic
priest.
HOW TO FIND ARTICLES: One of the simpliest ways to find books and articles on the Way Of Strife Literature web site is to the use the End-Time Apostate Cloud Database. Whenever Cloud posts to his site, we post in kind! WHAT'S NEW AT THE WAY OF STRIFE WEB SITE: The easiest way to find out what is new at the Way Of Strife web site is to check out the overly-redundant responses page (don't blame us... we're only imitating Cloud's style!) THE PROPER ADDRESS FOR THE WAY OF STRIFE WEB SITE: Well, if you're looking at this, you're at the right address! |

![]() Cloud doesn't like the idea of humbly serving his own wife by washing her feet and here he tells you why you shouldn't either. ![]() What does condemning Martin Luther King Jr. have to do with spreading the gospel of Christ? Cloud doesn't know, nor did he explain why this "report" was on his site, then removed it, apparently meaning for it never to see the light of day again. Until now. ![]() ![]() Know Him for His sake... NOT for some power-hungry men like Cloud and his brand of "pastoral authority". ![]() Especially when people are laughing at HIM! |

![]() Whenever Cloud posts something that demands a response, here is where you'll find it. The difference between him and us is, we listen and pray that God give us discernment, and that what we post here will be in a spirit of love and humbleness. If readers disagree or have something to share that would lead others to Christ, we read it... and will even post it here! Cloud on the other hand is like the Grand Inquisitor from The Brothers Karamazov: he wouldn't recognize or listen to Jesus even if He came before Cloud. ![]() ![]() |

Keep heretical words like 'Billy Graham' and 'charismatic' from dirtying your mind with a filtered Internet provider, plus help Brother Cloud at the same time." ("Brother"? HA! Cloud doesn't want to be a brother, only an abusive, overbearing "father figure") |

![]() This is Way of Life at it's lockstep worst. So little faith does Cloud have in the Bible that he feels his own effort is needed to "protect" it. |
ABOUT OUR PURPOSE: Way Of Strife Literature is
fighting fundamentalism that tries to build up a "church" instead of building up
the Kingdom of Heaven. Our primary target is Way of Life, a fundamental Baptist publishing ministry under
the oversight of Bible Baptist Church, Oak Harbor, Washington. It was founded in 1973
by David W. Cloud, and has since become one of the major sources of unsound doctrine
on the Internet. Our goal is to deliver a rebuke, grounded in the whole counsel of truth
as it is found in the Bible, to a ministry that is grounded in flawed legalism
and guided by a hardened heart. To do so in love, with kindness... but uncompromising
in our sincere belief that Cloud is doing more harm than good. But also to do it with
humor. The name "O'Blasphemy"
describes what Way of Life is doing -- failing to live out the once-delivered
faith and failing to encourage others to seek after Christ. Way of Life preaches
another Christ: one of legalism, not saving grace. And so, Cloud is
in all error.
ABOUT OUR NAME:
The name "Way Of Strife" is a spoof of "Way of Life", which Cloud cited
from Proverbs 6:23 "...reproofs of instruction are the way of life." Cloud
just wants to be the one offering these reproofs, even though no one can crack
it through his thick skull that he needs reproof (and breaking, and
repentance, and REAL salvation, and for his spirit to bear REAL fruit instead
of the rancor he puts on Way of Life). The crying need of the hour is NOT
uncompromising Bible preaching. Of course we need instruction, but more than
anything else we need to be loving, and extending the love of our Lord to the
world, holding back nothing in that regard. More preaching is NOT the answer:
more living out the Christ-like life by ALL Christians is! But fundamentalism
makes that impossible. Fundamentalism strangles the spiritual vitality out of the
Christian... and so, many churches (like perhaps Cloud's) have become like the
Laodicean church described in Revelation: they are lukewarm. Cloud wants people in
the churches and for pastors (like himself) to tighten their grip on said churches. The world
needs God's love... but Cloud and other fundamentalists can only give it wrath and
spite. We don't need them anymore, and they need to be gotten rid of in the only
way possible: by PROVING that they are wrong. That we are under the Rule of Love and
NOT the Rule of Law. God gave us the law to point to our need for Him. Jesus
fulfilled the Law through His perfect life and His death and resurrection. He
ended the Rule of Law...but people like Cloud think that we still need it so
people like they can control the Law. And you. Cloud does not offer life, he
only brings strife. Hence this site's name.

Please note, though, that we receive roughly 1.5x10^3 personal letters and
e-mail per month, most of it "spam" trying to sell everything from surplus
Israeli gas masks to XXX-rated bovine porn to bootleg ABBA records, so we
can't reply to everyone. However, we do try :)
