Vain Teachings of Man Made Religion

Welcome
We hope the following presentation will encourage
you to ask yourself some deep biblical questions
about your faith practices and that of the modern
denominational system versus the bible truth. Then
we simply ask you to seek the answers in God’s Word.
If you love God you will obey. (John 14:15)
Note: Our goal is that the name of Jesus Christ be
lifted up, people to be pointed to His truth (to be set
free) and man’s false religious traditions be exposed.

This information will show you bible truth that
perhaps you have never heard before? You can then
ponder over it, go to the Word and ask the Lord for
guidance. We are happy to discuss this with you
anytime and share what His Word says. You are even
invited to come to our home and reason together in
His Word; just like the New Testament saints did. His
people are to be close, loving and biblical.
Note: the bible says in the New Testament that the
saints are to “one another each other” over 50 times.
(That is to love, care for, encourage, exhort etc.)
That is why we wrote this … love for God and others.

Jesus Christ said: "God is Spirit, and those who
worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4:24
Please ponder this. Are You “Fully” in His Truth
Today? (Truth matters “if” you desire to
worship Him)
*Are Denominations/Religious Organizations Built on
Man's False Traditions or on God’s Truth?
*Have You Tested All of Your Faith Practices Against
God’s Holy Word?
*Have You Examined ALL You Believe or Are You
Possibly Deceived?

*Important Disclaimer*
We are NOT affiliated with any religious
organization and we follow only the Word
of God as our full source of spiritual truth
to set others free for His glory. Also, we
work to support ourselves and to proclaim
Christ as we refuse to sell the gospel truth.
In this presentation we will point you to
His Word only and never man-made
organizations or ways. Please go on………

If you are like most people today who say they are
Christians, you go to a religious building on Sunday,
sit and watch a modern pastor and you perform
weekly rituals handed down to you; thinking they
please God. But do they?
But what if we told you that the modern religious
system in America is built on man’s ways not fully
following God’s Word?
This all matters very much as your salvation could be
in doubt because if you’re not in His truth you are not
worshipping in spirit and truth.
(John 4:24)
Are you aware of the errors of this false system?

10 Unbiblical Issues with Denominational Religion
**************************************************
1) Its gospel message is watered down and unbiblical
2) Its modern pastor role is not found in God’s Word
3) Its “building centered mindset” is unbiblical & pagan
4) It is often filled up with worldly goats, not holy sheep
5) Its men and woman are not taught true biblical holiness
6) Its additional church membership steps are not in the bible
7) It is more program & man centered, not Christ centered
8) Its worship leaders, youth pastors and weekly man led
practices are not taught in the bible
9) Its teaching of the tithe is not found in the New Testament
10 ) Its very foundation, practices and history are built on
man’s traditions not biblical truth.
Why would you practice what man has built vs what God has ordained?

What Is The History of Man Made Denominations
*************************************************
*If you are a Lutheran your religion was founded by a man
Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the early
16th century.
*If you are roman catholic the roots of your faith was started
by a pagan roman emperor man named Constantine around
the 4th century AD and has had many more man-made false
traditions added to it over the years by various leaders called
popes.
*If you're a Seventh Day Adventist, your religion was created
by a woman Ellen White in the late 19th century.
*If you are a Mennonite, your group was named after Menno
Simons who lived in the early 16th century.

*If you are a Methodist, your religion was created by men
John and Charles Wesley in the late 18th century.
Note: If you are one of these “Church of the Nazarene,”
“Pentecostal Gospel,” “Holiness Church,” “Pilgrim Holiness
Church,” “Assemblies of God,” “United Church of Christ,” etc
your religion is one of the thousands of new groups rooted
in the last 100 years by men.
*This shows these denominations are rooted in man’s recent
ways and not the early New Testament teachings of the first
century.
All of these denominational brands of religion started well
after the early New Testament church that Jesus Himself
established.

What Did Christ Think of Man Made Religion
When He Walked the Earth?
Jesus said in Mark 7:6-9 This people honors Me
with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in
vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the
commandments of men He said to them, “All too
well you reject the commandment of God, that you
may keep your tradition. For laying aside the
commandment of God, you hold the tradition of
men—
The Lord of Creation (who came to call people to
repentance) made it VERY clear. He rejects man’s vain
traditions not rooted fully in God’s Word and His true
people must be in truth for acceptable worship.

Christ Rejected False Religious Systems
Jesus often rebuked religious people who were not in truth.
The false religious teachers of His day were the Pharisees.
They were “very” religious but they left God’s truth and built
their own system of men. The bible warns us of this in the
last days. (2 Tim 3) Who could that be today? Those who
follow man’s religious ways and traditions not fully rooted in
God's Word.
*Could that be these organizations like Baptist, Lutheran,
Methodist, Evangelical Free, Mennonite, Roman Catholic or
whatever "man made system and name" they may hold to
today?
Key Point:
Denominations and organizations are made by man, not God.
Paul warned against this in: 1 Corinthians 12:1

You may ask us ‘is holding tight to His truth and
doctrines really so important’?
What does God’s Word have to say?
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in
the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son”. 2 John 1:9
Doctrine means = teachings; His people must
follow “all” of the bible’s doctrines and not
man’s traditions.
Have you really studied to know His doctrines
or have you been fooled to follow man’s way’s?

Are You Guilty of This?
*Most people who are "going to church" under a
modern pastor or priest are “attempting” to worship
God. Sadly most are not in truth/doctrine due to
following man’s “vain traditions”.
*Could it also be that this makes people in the pews
of these unbiblical religious buildings disobedient,
unregenerated and missing the spirit and truth
worship that Jesus speaks of that the Father truly
desires? (John 4)
Have you considered this? What you are doing in
those vain rituals is NOT approved by God.
This puts you in a very dangerous place….

Good News! There is Hope and a Solution
If you will read on we will lay out many specific
biblical areas that modern, religious professing
Christian bodies have very wrong. They are
standing against God’s Word and ways that they
"claim" to follow.
We will also show you the truth and correct
way to follow and serve Christ, per His Word, so
you can be set free from man’s many errors,
just as we were. Praise God for what He has
done!

Here is the Problem
What we have found in our own experience and travels is
that most building centered faith practices devised by man,
have people who are fooled into practicing what is well
outside of God's Word. They are not in sound doctrine, few
know this and no one is warning them at all. They are not
following biblical truth and so God’s Word says to reject it.
We speak out here not to cause harm but out of a godly love
and concern to warn others of the errors most are walking in
through denominational religion. Godly love always warns
and speaks truth. We desire to lift up the Lord and to cast
down the ways of man’s religion so you can see the truth and
respond. And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of
God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15

Paul spoke of this in Colossians 2:5-10
“Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with
persuasive words. For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I
am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the
steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk
in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the
faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with
thanksgiving.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty
deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the
basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For
in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you
are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and
power.” (Don’t let the ways of man cheat you )

Law Breakers Are Judged!
As a citizen of the United States you are expected to know
and keep the laws of this land. If you do not and you break
even one law, you will suffer the result in court. (Judgment
and punishment.)
But if you are a person who attends a professing Christian
religious body that claims to have faith in and love for God;
are you not held to a higher standard to hold tight to all His
laws laid out in His Word?
Why do people believe God (as a Holy Righteous Judge) will
overlook your disobedience when His Word says if you love
Him obey Him.
Jesus said in John 14:15 :
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Something to Consider
*You cannot follow Christ unless you are born a new
creation in Him. (John 3:3 / 2 Corinthians 5)

Please know the bible says there is but one way to find
eternal life and true salvation before you die.
Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6

Do You Know Your History?
Sadly most people see the building as the church
(which is not biblical) and have no idea that much of their
modern Christian denominational practices are not fully
rooted in Jesus Christ and God’s Word. The roman catholic
and other denominational faiths have perverted the truth.
How can you worship there in spirit and truth?
Did you know there was much perversion by various men
right after the apostles passed on? One man was a pagan
Roman emperor named Constantine in the 4th century. He
legalized Christianity and he began to pervert and paganize it
with various man-made rituals and it later became the
unbiblical roman catholic religion. Today many protestants
are practicing many of those false ways that he instituted.

Did you also know...The 16th century reformers were
not much better as Luther and Calvin were both
unbiblical men who even condemned men to die over
faith issues? They were NOT following God’s full truth
in detail but building a system of man-made false
religion that lives on today. *This should concern you
if you desire truth in your faith life and worship of
God! God’s Word says:
But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is
perfected in Him. By this we know that we are in Him.
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to
walk just as He walked. 1 John 2:5

Why Should This All Matter To You?
If you are practicing man-made religion what will
practicing lies get a person in the end?
Revelation 22:14-15 warns this…
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the
End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do
His commandments, that they may have the right to
the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into
the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and
sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and
whoever loves and practices a lie”.
Gods Word has spoken…….
*If you’re in lies you will be as a dog, outside of His
gate and we want better for you.

Powerful but Sad Facts
*Modern denominational bodies look very little like,
nor do they function as the biblical New Testament
church of the first century that Jesus ordained.
*The believers they produce today are often unholy,
worldly and carnal minded; outside bible truth.
*The biblical doctrines once taught have been tossed
aside for man-made and seeker friendly messages.
This should greatly trouble you if you practice man-
made traditions and lies today. Are you practicing
modern ‘churchianity’ or true biblical Christianity?
Only God's Word will help you determine that for
yourself. Test all things; hold fast what is good
1 Thessalonians 5:21

Walk In The Light
**************************************
Biblical truth is often referred to as light. God’s Word
says: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin”.
1 John 1:74
So can your denominational place be called a true
biblical New Testament church?
We are happy to meet with you and your modern
pastor to reason over these truths. We stand on God’s
Word alone and are ready to give answers.
(See 1 peter 3:15)

*Many False Teachers and Wolves abound*
Did you know there are many other man-made false
movements that have also influenced most bodies
today? Examples are the word of faith, New Apostolic
Reformation, Hebrew Roots, Dominionist’s, seeker
sensitive, the heretic emergent groups and the
growing social gospel/Missional/church planting
approaches.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
of the common salvation, it was needful for me to
write unto you, and exhort you that ye should
earnestly contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints. (Jude 1:3)

Do your own study and you will find the truth! These
false and pagan ways influence what most of you are
doing in a religious building and following the model
of man’s ways.
Sadly modern priests/pastors have even told us
personally "they don’t want their people to hear this
information". Why is that? Because His truth will set
you free from man’s unbiblical religion and they need
you there in the pews to pay for the building, parking
lot, lights and salaries etc.
We care and want you to be set free in Christ's truth
and not be caught up in modern religious lies. Jesus
said: the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:32

Here are some more facts you may not be aware of:
*non-active people just sitting/watching a show
*inviting in many non believers *practiced sermons
*paying tithes *practiced instrumental emotional
music offerings *practiced choirs *emotional worship
experience * ceremony called worship
services...these are all false traditions.
You wont find these in the bible so why are you doing
them? These were never done in the true early
church as they are not biblical but of the lustful flesh.
How that they told you there should be mockers in
the last time, who should walk after their own
ungodly lusts. Jude 1:18

The Role of The Modern Pastor
Do you know the role of the modern priest/CEO pastor: one
man in a pulpit running the service, doing all the teaching,
putting on a weekly show in total charge of the entire body is
NOT found ANYWHERE the bible? Only one New Testament
bible verse mentions the pastor role and it is a “servant” not
the ‘lording over’ modern pastor position we see today.
Many men are to share and teach not just one!
Fact: Man created the all-powerful CEO pastors role, not God.
Jesus said in Matt 20: “You know that the rulers of the
Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise
authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but
whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your
servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him
be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Jesus never lorded over others so why should any pastor?
Fact: Many men are to be active in the body's gathering.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14:26
“Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has
a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an
interpretation. Let all things be done for edification”.
Fact: Do you know that a group of godly elders were to
oversee the body, not one hired man to run and rule it?
Paul said in Titus 1 “that you should set in order the things
that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I
commanded you”
*Multiple elders was the rule in the New Testament church.
see: Acts 14, 15, 21, 1 Tim 5:7, Titus 1:5, Heb 11:2, James 5:14

The modern pastor is a handed down falsehood. The
result is that God's pure design is tossed away for
man's rule, God’s Spirit is not allowed to move as He,
"the Creator“, desired and then the product of
modern religion is most often a biblically ignorant,
lazy, disobedient, worldly people who don't follow all
of His truth. They would NEVER be called Christ's set
apart Holy bride in the early New Testament body so
why should they be considered His bride today?
Please don’t stay in error seek the true biblical New
Testament body for God’s glory.
They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their
punishment they shall perish Jeremiah 10:15

Fact: The pastor's role is shepherding (Eph 4) he is not to
“lord over” the body and run it. (See Matt 20 )
Sadly over time man's traditions have perverted it and this
steals from God's glory as His Spirit no longer leads the
body but one man does. Study the real New Testament
church and see God's design for His body. Jesus Christ is the
HEAD of His church ( 1 Corinthians 11 ) not any man in a
lifted up pulpit as we see today all over denominational
America. They have left His full teachings so can these
places be His true church?
Now some of the people there may be His and they might
find truth and salvation in the end, but surely if they are
striving in His word they will work to change their body or
leave for His glory.
We pray you are one of them.

Here again are the scripture verses to point you to the correct
function in God’s true New Testament body.
For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set
in order the things that are lacking, and appoint
elders in every city as I commanded you Titus 1:5
Whenever you come together, each of you has a
psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation,
has an interpretation. Let all things be done for
edification. 1 Corinthians 14:26
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by
men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as
living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5
*The Modern pastor is often lifted up or found “lifting
himself up” today in his modern role.
But Jesus said: "And whoever exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself will be
exalted." Matthew 23:12
God’s Word warned that wolves would come in:
Acts 20:29 “For I know this, that after my departure
savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing
the flock”. (Beware of modern wolves in the pulpit.)

Biblical body’s encourage the priesthood of all believers not
one paid clergy position to usurp control. Jesus died to allow
us all access to God through Him (1 Peter 2 / Mark 15:38)
*Often modern CEO pastors are looked upon as closer to God
or as the "head" of the church when that role is for "Jesus
Christ" alone! (Col 1:18)
*Men are not to have lifted up titles such as reverend.
(Only God is called reverend / see Psalms 111:9 )
*The paid “salaried positions “ of the day are NOT biblical as
being practiced. Paul worked to support himself. ( 1 Cor 9 )
*Seminary trained leaders were never Christ’s standard as He
chose and trained “regular men” for ministry.
Man makes a professional career out of what was to be a
lowly servant of God in full obedience to His Word.

*****************************************************************************
Why Do You Have a Ruling Man Up On a Stage Today?
This error comes from pagan Rome. The 4th century emperor
put priests (as paid staff) to rule over the crowds packed into
pews of once pagan temples, which is in violation of God’s
plan of the priesthood of each believer. (See 1 Peter 2)
Then when the reformation occurred that same perverted
system was left in place removing the priest and adding a
lording over “pastor”, again in violation of God’s true plan.
(See Matt 20 / 1 Peter 5 )
Do you know that modern denominations often run their
organizations like a business with CEO pastors who are not
following God's full truth? This is all because of sin and false
teachers who have crept in over time. (See false teachers like
Peter Drucker, Bill Hybels and Rick Warren who compromise
the gospel and teach lies just to fill buildings.)

The true biblical body is to consist of many saints
participating, not just a few lifted up clergy types
doing all of the teaching, functions and actions. That
is not found in God's Word at all. Sitting in a pew
watching error filled, man-made shows does not grow
godly men.
Is your religious group functioning in line with God's
Holy ways or are you following man's created false,
wayward traditions? Multiple elders are to oversee,
not lord over it or force everyone else to be only
spectators. God's plan has been stolen by pagan
practices and men throughout history and they
continue the falsehoods today against the Word of
God Almighty.

God’s Word Has Spoken on Modern Pastors
It is God’s design that must be followed and practiced not
man’s system of the modern pastor role.
The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow
elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a
partaker of the glory that will be revealed: Shepherd the flock
of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by
compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;
nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being
examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears,
you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
1 Peter 5:1-4
Fact: Pastors/elders are to be holy examples and not bosses
that lord over you, controlling the entire gathering of saints.
Will you follow God’s plan or man’s?

Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow
workers for your joy; for by faith you stand. 2 Corinthians 1:24
Are you seeking for deeper truth and higher holy ground in
Christ daily? This is part of the sanctification process that all
true believers must be in for God's glory. Men, are you willing
to step up in the body or will you just pay
another man to do it for you? The bible says:
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test
yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in
you?-unless indeed you are disqualified.” 2 Corinthians 13:5
Are you examining yourself or like many; will you just
compromise on man’s traditions as you sit idle under a
modern unbiblical pastor; all against God’s design?

Recap on the False Modern Pastor Role
*The bible shows us that early New Testament congregations were
overseen (not run) by a multiple of elders.
(Acts 20:28, Titus 1 and 1 Peter 5)
*The male New Testament members were responsible for exercising
their spiritual gifts in the body in open participatory gatherings
(Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 2) not just one man.
*A pastor role is a gift not an office, and various male members may
exercise it freely. (Eph 4) It means to shepherd others.
*Unlike the modern bodies of today, the elders (or pastors) were
entrusted with responsibility for the oversight of the body but; not to
lord over it and control everything. (See Matt 20)
*Many men should step up and use their gifts in a gathering; not just
watch. (1 Cor 14:26)
*No lady pastors or elders are allowed in God’s true church
(1 Tim 2 / Titus 1)
*No modern pastor’s role is found in the bible.
See how different the function of God’s body is compared man’s ways?

A Wrong Gospel Message
Why is the gospel message that is being preached by most modern
religious places NOT found anywhere in the bible? It is man centered
and man-made, how can this be?
Example: Just ask Jesus into your heart, church attendance means your
a redeemed believer, baptized as baby, come up to the altar and bow
your head, doing local community work as the social gospel or say this
sinners prayer to be saved. Beware! None of these are found in God's
Word at all!
The bible teaches that Christ is the lone atonement (sacrifice) for our
sins (1 John 2:2) we must repent (Luke 13:3) follow His ways. (1 John 5)
God's Word then says we are to admit our sin, trust in Christ, repent
(change our mind/practices on sin) and be born again. As a result of
saving faith we will be baptized, die to self, be obedient to His Word, be
holy and be a living sacrifice in all things to the Lord, until the end!
There is NO easy believe-ism in God's Word but sadly man-made religion
has created it in order to fill up buildings. His people are to be held to a
high holy standard. “Be holy in all your conduct” / 1 Peter 1:15

The Word is clear ...
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless
one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins Acts 2:38
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is
your reasonable service Romans 12:1
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey,
you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to
death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:16

Jesus said; And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.
But he who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:22
(Who hates you today for your gospel message?) Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom
of heaven, but only the who do the will of my Father
Matthew 7 (Many religious people will miss salvation.)
What is The Result of Man’s Error?
Many religious places and their unbiblical modern CEO (Chief
Executive Officer) pastors teach a man centered/seeker
friendly unbiblical gospel that lacks the power of truth to save
anyone. These men and systems have left solid biblical
doctrine. They follow man's model to soothe itchy ears (2 Tim
4:3) to deceive and fill up their pews. It is often a numbers
game to them. We assure you it is not a numbers game to a
Holy God. This weak gospel is called seeker sensitive/easy
believe-ism and it is not in line with God's holy Word.

What gospel does your modern pastor preach?
An easy believe-ism gospel or a true biblical gospel that
challenges, calls out sinners and can save souls for His glory?
Is he teaching you in the true ways of God's Word leading to
holiness or just man's traditions that leave you idle & carnal?
Based on this information ask yourself; have I truly been born
into God’s family (seeking all holiness and obedience as fruit)
or are you just a un-regenerated religious person as we were
for so many years; before God’s Word and Truth set us free?
Fact: Man’s religion won’t save your soul from God’s wrath to
come.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they
have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
2 Timothy 4:3

Got Fruit?
What is your godly fruit as a person who attends a modern religious
place? Do your daily habits, words, actions, desires, interests and
coversations really honor Christ and pass the Philippians 4:8 test:
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are
noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever
things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any
virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these
things
Or 1 Peter 1:15
as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct
The fruit of Christ’s true people is holy obedience not worldliness
(1 John 2:15)
Are you holy (set apart) and being taught to grow for God's glory in
His ways as taught in the bible? Or has your religion and this culture
formed what you're practicing today in your fallen flesh?

Is your religious body teaching you this and lovingly
calling you out to a greater obedience Christ? Or are
they just happy you show up? If they are NOT
teaching you to be set apart and holding you to obey
and grow in God's Word; are they a true New
Testament church? (See Ephesians 4)
The purpose of the church is to train up holy saints
not entertain people with programs, emotional music
and events.
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without
which no one will see the Lord” / Hebrews 12:14

Why Are We Doing This?
Some may ask why are we preaching against what so many
are practicing today in denominational America?
We have only the most pure motive:
"TO SEE CHRIST'S GOSPEL PROCLAIMED AND HIS TRUE
BIBLICAL NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH BODY RISE UP FOR GOD'S
GLORY AND TO SEE PEOPLE REPENT AND BE SET FREE FROM
MAN'S FALSE TRADITIONS OF RELIGION INTO A NEW LIFE IN
HIM!“
We are asking you to test everything . Will you test what
you’re practicing? God’s Word says we all should do this.
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all
things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.

Do you know that God has always called His true people to
come out of false worship and unbiblical ways.
Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate,
says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive
you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17
Will you come out of man made religion or follow your own
way? Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I
consider to be right; I hate every false way. Psalm 119:128
(Many are following denomination religion but is it God
honoring?)
For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in
the sight of God Luke 16:15
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the
way of death Proverbs 14:12

Worship in Special Religious Buildings
Do you know the early New Testament church met and
thrived in their homes (or anywhere they could) and did not
erect special religious buildings?
Note: we are not anti building as we live in a small building
called a house, so buildings are not the real issue here.
The fact is: modern religious buildings are excess, they take
the focus off being His body daily, they use up the Lord’s
money and are often the main focus as “the church” which is
VERY unbiblical. The true New Testament church is people
who are set apart, obediently following Christ where ever
they may be gathering and led by His Spirit. They did not
need or build any buildings and call them churches for well
over 200 years until pagan Rome passed laws and began this
unbiblical practice in the 4th century under Constantine.

*He used pagan temples to sit the Christians into a man led, false
worship service. Buildings use up the Lord's money for cement, bricks,
maintenance, parking lots, high tech TV screens spotlights etc.
*Many of those things done in a religious building are not about truly
practicing God's holy ways as found in the bible. (Coffee bars, gyms,
bookstores, atriums etc.)
*This is poor theology that trains you to "GO" to a church building when
you are to "BE" His church everyday and worship daily where you are.
Your building is NOT the house of God. No, His true set apart people are
now His temple. (That all changed after Christ rose again.)
*Meeting in homes is more intimate and creates a closer loving family
atmosphere; not a fake religious one.
you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5

According To the Bible Where Does God Dwell Today?
*************************************************
the Most High does not dwell in temples made with
hands, as the prophet says. Acts 7:48
Jesus said: For where two or three are gathered
together in My name, I am there in the midst of
them.” Matthew 18:20
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of
the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from
God, and you are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19
God, who made the world and everything in it, since
He is the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in
temples made with hands Acts 17:24
If a pastor says ‘God dwells here’ he is lying to you!

Religious buildings also have various pagan origins such as the
steeple which comes from ancient times when they were
trying to reach "up" to their false gods. (Correct theology
shows that Christ has reached down to man, praise Him!)
Why would we use pagan symbols?
Other than some early temple activity (because all the early
saint’s were Israelites and the Temple was still there and used
on the Sabbath) the early church was a home based body for
centuries until men stepped up and ushered in buildings.
(Fact: todays buildings are not the Temple of the Holy God)
“how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it
to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house”
Acts 20:20
“Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my
beloved Epaenetus, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ”.
Romans 16:5

History is Very Clear on New Testament Religious Buildings
The early New Testament church consisted of His holy people
who met in their homes, helped their poor brethren and
spread the gospel with their money. They would not have
wasted it on fancy structures, blacktop, gymnasiums, coffee
bars or bookstores etc. History and God's Word is NOT on the
side of man's modern religious ways at all. Religious
buildings in America are said to cost in the multi $ billions of
dollars and yet God never ordained them.
*************************************************
“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father
will love him, and we will come to him and make our home
with him” (John 14:23).
So the next time you’re in your religious building (or paying
for it) ask yourself; is this really biblical and does it honor God
or man? The correct answer will change your entire faith life!

Can You Ever Go To Church if You Are to Be the Church?
Why do we see all these modern religious places with signs
saying "come to church this Sunday". Do you know you
biblically cannot ever "go" to church? The bible clearly
teaches that those who are His, are born from above, are
set on Him and His truth to eternal life and are to be “BE”
His church daily. Thus they will live according to His holy
ways, not man's false traditions. His people don't just attend
and act holy on certain days, they are set apart and are
living sacrifices everyday for His glory. What does your body
teach you? True biblical worship is:
Paul said in Romans 12:1-2
“present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to
God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind” (Do you do this daily?)

That is the only true biblical worship Gods desires! Anything
else is false teaching of men and God will reject it.
Ask Cain about worship that is done incorrectly.
And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not
respect Cain and his offering.“ ( Genesis 4:3 )
“I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which
also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you
are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to
you—unless you believed in vain”. 1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Paul prays that you may be “strengthened with power though
his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your
hearts through faith . . . that you may be filled with all the
fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:16-17, 19)
“you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual
house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ”. 1 Peter 2:5

All saints are to be "priests unto God" and not just expect
their modern pastor to be paid to do it all. This concept alone
should totally change your view of “going to church” and
make you see how your CEO pastor led, building centered
organization is operating outside of God's plan. It is not
modeled after what God has done; but man’s desires.
Many male believers are to be active ministers of God's truth
in the gathering, not just going to the special building to
watch a salaried modern CEO pastor as the masses sit idle in
the pews for a show. “But you are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that
you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a
people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained
mercy but now have obtained mercy”. 1 Peter 2:9
So will you step up to Biblical truth or just sit in the pews?

The Tithe For Today Is Not Truth
Are you aware that the weekly tithe ( 10% ) that you are being
told to give to your body is NOT a New Testament teaching
and was “not ever” practiced by the early Christian church?
Fact: It was an Old Testament law to the Israelites and it was
food, not money. It was not meant for Gentile saints. Paul
said in the New Testament: “Let him who stole steal no
longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what
is good, that he may have something to give him who has
need”. Ephesians 4:28
He also said: “Every man according as he purposeth in his
heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God
loveth a cheerful giver” 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

No instruction of the tithe ( 10% ) was ever given to the
Gentile converts that believed on Jesus Christ.
One should give it to needy brothers, use it to proclaim the
gospel, be wise stewards but not support a faulty unbiblical
model of man (teaching false ways against God’s Word) that is
wasting the Lord’s resources. That would be sinful!
The tithe was re-started in pagan Rome around the late 4th
century to pay for unbiblical "lifted up" clergy wages and
special buildings. Sadly the modern religious places today run
the same way, using money for unbiblical salaries, buildings
parking lots etc. while God's plan for His true church body is
left behind. They use the tithe to extract money from you;
don’t be fooled. The New Testament bible has NO mention of
a tithe "for Gentiles" but rather giving from the heart and for
the need. (Jesus only refers to it once and that was only to the
Jews not gentiles.)

Many of the false teaching modern pastors will use Malachi 3 to say
“you don’t want to rob God”! This is scripture twisting at best, dishonest
and clearly not biblical at all!
“Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what
way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a
curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.Bring all the
tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house”
(Malachi 3)
Remember to always read God’s Word in context. This verse was for the
nation of Israel and the Israelites only. The tithe was a 10th of the crop
they harvested and they were to bring it into the storehouse. Again
many modern pastors will say the church building is the store house but
this is a lie! It was the Temple in Jerusalem. To be biblical you would
have to get several bags of produce and hand them to the pastor who’s
building was in Israel and… you would both be Jews.
You see how silly this gets don’t you? It is about greed not truth.
It is all done to remove your money from you or they can’t survive.
* So why have you been lied to all these years about giving the tithe?

Redoing What God Has Done Away With
Denominational religion has wrongly recreated many areas (here
are 3) that God has done away with from the Old Testament.
1. In the Old Testament, God required a temple of stone to dwell
in. Modern religion has brought back the building as a religious
focus, against God’s desire. Today He dwells in the believer by
the Holy Spirit. (Acts 7:48)
2. In the Old Testament, God had special priests that performed
religious duties. That was done away with when Christ died and
the veil as torn. The modern body has reinstalled the lording
over/CEO pastor vs the priesthood of each believer. Now all men
are to be priests unto God. (1 Peter 2:5)
3. The old Testament, had the Israelites bringing animal sacrifices,
offerings and tithes to the temple for worship. Christ’s death
and resurrection became the ultimate sacrifice for us and now
the modern body teaches the tithe and worship services. Now
we are to be the holy, living sacrifice. (Romans 12:1-2)

Some Will Ask Does Doctrine Really Matter?
Doctrine simply means = bible teachings.
Do you know how important doctrinal truth is? You can't be saved
without biblical truth, period!
Paul said this: Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I
preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by
which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to
you—unless you believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:1
And this: Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them,
for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you
1 Timothy 4:16
And finally this: But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be
accursed. Galatians 1:8
Jesus said: “be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matt 5:48
If your religious body does not teach a biblical gospel you will be
accursed for supporting it. That is something to consider!
(This is why we reject the modern religious places as they are false.)

What is the goal of ALL true Christ seekers?
It is living in His truth and growing in holiness for the coming
King. (1 Peter 1:15; Hebrews 12:14) Many will say “well no
church body is perfect as even the bible shows their many
faults in the New Testament”. While this is true, those bodies
were still all called to "repent" and were told to strive for
perfection with solid biblical doctrine (Matt 5:48) or they
were told their lampstands would be removed by Christ
Himself. Will you and your body repent and return to biblical
works or will you settle for less and fall short of what God has
commanded you to do…obey Him fully?
Jesus said: Remember therefore from where you have fallen;
repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you
quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless
you repent Revelation 2:5

Will You Eat Poison?
Do you know that there is only a very small amount of
poison in rat bait as most of it is protein. So now knowing
that, will you still willingly eat some? Of course not as you
know that even just a little poison can indeed kill you.
Please know if you willingly ignore or leave out any of God's
truth; it shows your true heart for Him or lack of it. It can
destroy your walk, your growth, your testimony and perhaps
even your eternal soul. Does God require His truth be
maintained or man's error filled traditions? The fact is
unbiblical ways/sin; even though small can destroy much.
Paul warned: “A little leaven leavens the whole lump”.
Galatians 5:9
Jesus said: “For laying aside the commandment of God, you
hold the tradition of men.” Matthew 7:8

The issue is that man's faulty religious traditions have over taken God's
design for His body. It acts as a poison and denies the Holy Spirit's work.
Many have plugged in man's traditions and this stifles truth. It also
stunts the spiritual growth of people and in the end it kills truth. This is
NOT small at all. Do you recall that Ananias and Sapphire were killed for
telling one lie? (Acts 5) It is indeed rebellion and sin before a holy God to
disobey even a little. Will you repent or seek His truth for His glory?
Again Jesus said: John 4:24
“we must worship in spirit and truth"
As you cling to man's religious ways and traditions know this; spiritual
darkness will lead to man's death and then judgment.
“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the
light, lest his deeds should be exposed” (John 3:20)
Godly love brings us to proclaim these things and we want better for all
people who will hear and then seek after Him. If you claim Him and
really do want to be obedient to Christ who died on the cross for you....
please go on.

God Desires All Men to Be Saved
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the
knowledge of the truth”. 1 Timothy 2:3-4
According to His Word, most people (even religious folks) are
not going to be saved in the end. They will not see God's
glorious kingdom to come and they will perish! (Matthew 7)
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is
the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who
go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way
which leads to life, and there are few who find it”.
(In Matthew 7 Jesus tells many they are “lawless ones”… this
means they left His ways. We hope that is not you?)
We love God and all people too much to not speak out.
Man’s religion can’t save you; only His truth can!

Where Are You Rooted ?
You must be rooted in God's holy Word. Are you there today
or are you more likely rooted in man’s ritual, just like we
were. (We were very spiritually blind ourselves.) Please don’t
turn to fables over truth.
“and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be
turned aside to fables”. 2 Timothy 4:4
So the real question is this: do you, after reading all these
facts, believe you worship in spirit and truth? Jesus said "the
Father is looking for such people" (John 4:23) We are calling
out to those who desire that as well. Will you hear this and
seek His biblical ways? Or will you sit and practice man's
religion that has ignored God's teachings and is far from the
truth; leading only to God’s Wrath to come? “but to those
who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness—indignation and wrath” Romans 2:8

We again challenge you to test your ways and see how short you may
be from hitting God's mark. We know this issue well because we were
"way off" His truth when we were just sitting in the pews of the modern
religious places!
*Not one modern pastor or denominational member ever taught us
these life changing biblical truths that are clearly taught in God's Word
for His body. How can this be?
*Do you know what they are, from His Word, and are you walking in
them daily? Shouldn’t you be if you claim Christ?
*Are you constantly studying to show yourself approved or are you
ashamed by what you do "not" know after many years of man's
religion? (We were ashamed and we all are responsible before God to
know His high holy ways; especially if we claim Him as Lord.)
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were
taught, whether by word or our epistle”. 2 Thessalonians 2:15
”Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my
salvation; On You I wait all the day”. Psalm 25:5

Do you seek His truth like riches or are you just religious?
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker
who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness 2 Timothy 3:16
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth”. 1 John 1:6
“And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the
commandments of men” Mark 7:7
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you”. Mathew 7:7
Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind”.
Matthew 22:37

Local Church Membership With is Man-Made Rules
Where in God's Word does it teach anyone that they must
join as a "local member" (often with many extra unbiblical
rules) into the place they attend? Nowhere in God's Word
does it support an additional local membership step that is
above and beyond being a born again member of Christ's holy
body. Paul clearly taught there is ONE body. If you're in
Christ, you're in His body. It is just another way to try to run
God's body like a business. (Like joining a country club.) It is
often about manipulating the people in the pews but it is not
from God's Word at all. Where the bible speaks of members it
is talking of this: we are all members in Christ alone. There
were bodies in each town but don't be fooled, there is ONLY
one body and Jesus is its head... not a CEO modern pastor.
Local church membership (with its man-made classes/rules) is
not found God's Word!

We are all for people committing to each other in biblical New
Testament local church bodies with biblical elders but; based
on God's Word we reject the man-made additions of classes,
waiting times, voting you in and extra biblical rules that only
cause more division where Christ wanted "none". The fact is,
denominations and organizations are not of God's ways. So
who are you a member of? The church of Jesus Christ or
another man made denominational body that is outside of
God's biblical ways and truth?
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?
1 Corinthians 6:15
But now indeed there are many members, yet one body
1 Corinthians 12:20

Biblical Holiness (holy means= set apart for God)
****************************************************************************
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no
one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14
Often in our experiences, modern religious people live just
like (and are part of) this fallen culture around them with
their love of TV, secular movies, carnal entertainment, gross
materialism, sports idolatry (NFL), etc... which are NOT taught
ANYWHERE in the bible for God's Holy people! Most modern
religious bodies/pastors do not teach holiness and are quite
influenced by this fallen culture. Did you know the early
biblical New Testament church was far removed from the
fallen culture of their day and would not have ever been
enjoying or partaking in what it offered them? Only carnal
people desire what the world system offers them daily ( TV,
movies, gossip, sports etc...) not God’s redeemed people.

The New Testament saints went out to proclaim the gospel
but they were not of the world like most of the modern
bodies in America today. Sadly most today have not been
taught that His true redeemed people are to be pure,
obedient and separate (holy) for Him and "not" of this world's
ways. Often modern pastors are the most carnal minded!
Note: Please know we do believe we are "saved by faith" not
works. But once we are truly made new (born again/set
apart), we then die to self and sin, strive to live obediently
and become His truth seeking, holy people as the EVIDENCE
(fruit/works) that we are saved by His spirit. Do dedicated
police officers break the law? No and God’s true people don’t
live in the flesh and sin habitually either. They kill their flesh.
(Romans 6) Are you following flesh and feelings, or God's
Word?

Does your modern religious system help you to biblical holiness? Why
are modern religious people most often quite worldly, carnal and not
living in or taught about seeking godly holiness in all areas of their
lives? God's Word stresses holiness in His people daily not just on
certain days.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is
your reasonable service”. Romans 12:1
“that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love”.
Ephesians 1:4
**To the men in the denominations who profess Christ we ask…**
Has your body taught you all of God’s Word, light and truth?
Are you truly regenerated and born again? As godly fruit did you leave
behind the sexual TV, violent carnal NFL, video games, lewd movies,
obsessive idol hobbies that rule your time and entertainment that is
often just soft porn? Is idolatry in your life and are you still of this fallen
culture's ways loving the world while claiming new life in Christ? How
can this be? The bible calls that a carnal false convert. Matt 7:20

Men who claim Christ…does your entire life and every thought meet
God's Word and standard of holiness? (The Word calls you to it. )
“casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against
the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ”. 2 Corinthians 10:5
Are you redeeming the time or wasting it with carnal entertainment?
“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil”. Ephesians 5:15-16
Men, how can you do take every thought captive for Christ while you're
enjoying the carnal ways of the fallen world we live in like the NFL? Are
you redeeming the time for God or yourself? Do you need to repent of
this and get in line with His way or do you still need to be born again?
I would encourage you to take a look at your entire life to see if you’re
walking in holiness. “Be holy in all your conduct”. 1 Peter 1:15
If your religious body is not teaching you this, modeling it and holding
you to it; they are not a biblical New Testament body. Run from them…

And do not be conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you
may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect
will of God. Romans 12:2
Do not love the world or the things in the
world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
is not in him. 1 John 2:15
Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will
enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will
of my Father who is in heaven” Matthew 7:20
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is
he who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:10

To the modern ladies who profess Christ….are you still into the carnal
impurity of the culture such as TV, unbiblical fashions, worldly fads,
horoscopes, Oprah, love novels, Hollywood productions, trendy fads,
magazines etc? God's Word warns a person of being carnal, double
minded and in danger of perishing. God's Word is clear...
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace. Romans 8:6
But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of
God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:22-23
Sadly most religious organizations fail here and do not teach you how
to live daily or what God requires. They do not use ALL of God's Word (2
Timothy 3:16) for instruction. And they often avoid using Matthew 18
which is on "church discipline" to help hold people accountable in His
way’s. Why you may ask? Because God's Word tells us many people will
run from holiness as they love the world and that won’t fill up pews.
So again how can these be called New Testament church bodies?

Who Is Modeling Holiness For You and Your body?
The truth is that God has VERY high standards of holy living. Are you
being taught and shown how to be holy and set apart in your
denomination or are you and your body of the world, filled with carnal
ways of self and entertainment? Do you fit right into the lost world or do
you stand out for Christ? Do your leaders model holiness for you or are
they also of this world's lost ways themselves? Just going to a religious
seminary does NOT make a man God's holy one. True salvation by His
Spirit, then a desire to be obedient and kill your carnal flesh does.
Note: seminaries are another man made invention by the way.
Biblical leaders are to be:
For a bishop (elder) must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-
willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy
for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just,
holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been
taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and
convict those who contradict. Titus 1:7-9

Is Your Compass Off?
Following God’s Word in detail is very important.
Example: If a plane is off only a few compass degrees on the start of its
journey, it will be off by many miles at the end. The bible calls God's
people to be obedient and to be in the world but not “of” it. How does
your life look? It seems denominational America does not care about
biblical holiness and it is one of the reasons why true believers cannot
fellowship with them. If you don't follow God's Word obediently…
Paul said:
And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person
and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed
He also said:
Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses,
contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those
who are such do by not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly,
smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.
Romans 16:17

Who Should Be in God’s Body and How Do They Get There?
Why is denominational religion using unbiblical models and methods to
draw people into their religious meetings and buildings that are not
found ANYWHERE in God's Word? (Like feel good self-improvement
messages, contemporary music that evokes fleshly movements and
feelings often not on spiritual truth, missional mindsets and social
justice gospels, mood lights, big screen TV's, worship teams, new
themes, new programs, coffee bars, gyms, plays, skits, super bowl
parties, silly worldly children's activities, various carnal social events,
flashy video's and such?) Sadly the norm that we see all over in man's
religion today is a "seeker sensitive" emotional feeling based, man
centered model that is not the true spiritual biblical GOSPEL of repent,
believe, die to self, follow in holy/obedience, that we see everywhere in
God's Word! This is deceiving many as it is bringing in and making "false
worldly converts” who think they are saved when they may well be in
danger and perish in the end, according to God's Word. It is man
centered not Christ centered, and lacks the truth to save a man’s soul.
Jesus said : repent lest you all perish. Luke 13:3

Jesus also said many who are religious will hear this:
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you
who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:23
Man-made religion is making false converts and mixing the very few
who may be striving in Christ with those who are not committed and
born in Him. Paul said don't mix in any leaven or you ruin the whole loaf.
1 Corinthians 5:6
You need to know that God's true church is to train up His born again,
committed people: not those who don’t even know Him as King, Lord
and Savior. Is evangelism important? Yes indeed! But did they invite
unbelievers 'into' His holy body in gatherings to entertain them? No,
that is not biblical. His church is to train up His people to go 'out' and
preach the gospel in the world
(Eph 4) and then baptize new believers to come 'into' the church body.
The church is to be His holy bride (body) set apart and it is not for a
bunch of worldly, un-regenerated seekers who are most often just
looking for an easy believe-ism, comfortable relevant social
atmosphere! That may be you and if it is, are you really in Christ?

This is man's sad religious system of the day. God has His holy
standards and sinful man simply casts them aside and
replaces them with what pleases the flesh and draws bigger
crowds. Reaching worldly goats (not the sheep) with watered
downed messages is NOT of God.
How did Peter preach and draw crowds?
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let everyone of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins"
Acts 2:38
What did Paul tell people to warn them of their actions?
but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath
Romans 2:8
Or how about this admonishment?
God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of
God and does His will, He hears him. John 9:31

Jesus said in Matthew 24:
then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and
you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then
many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate
one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and
deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love
of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall
be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in
all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end
will come.
***********************************************
With a false denomination on every corner not teaching truth
(but lies) and its modern pastors perverting the full gospel …
it is easy to believe we are in those last days indeed!
Where do you want to be found when Christ returns?

Spirit Led gatherings
People sitting in pews watching a man-made show, singing
some emotional songs and listening to a sermon for 30
minutes is not biblical worship.
As we told you, worship is your entire life lived (Romans 12:1)
not weekly acts of man. Much of the body is to be active
when it gathers using its gifts, acting out in the spirit, love and
truth. Man's false ways strangle God's Holy Spirit and robs the
body. This is sinful and God's Word is clear...
How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each
of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a
revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for
edification. 1 Corinthians 14:26
by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God,
that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
Hebrews 13:15

True saints loved one another, met house to house in fellowship and
practiced all truth as their reasonable service.
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing
the will of God from the heart; 7 With good will doing service, as to the
Lord, and not to men Ephesians 6:6-7
breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness
and simplicity of heart. Acts 2:46
They also could listen to God’s truth for more than 35 minutes.
Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to
break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and
continued his message until midnight. Acts 20:7
So when was the last time you all gathered/fellowshipped about biblical
matters for many hours vs your usual ritual?
We hope you can see a very different picture forming than man’s ways?

How Are You Growing?
Do you compromise or stand on His full truth? Are you growing in your
ways? God's true people hear His voice (the bible) and they follow His
ways NOT man's. Jesus said: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them,
and they follow Me. John 10:27
Men, are you growing up spiritually by sitting in the pews or more often
bored and wondering “is this all that God wants of me”? You need to be
training yourself in His Word and holy ways and then using your gifts for
His glory or His Spirit is not at work in you.
always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for
the hope that is in you. 1 Peter 3:15
Sadly today we find very few men who are able to stand and reason in
God’s Word. Why, you ask? Man’s false religion creates spiritual
weaklings not mighty soldiers of truth. In our experiences biblical
growth doesn't happen in man's religion where a false clergy class is
lording over. God wants your life as worship. He wants you to have
peace, knowing His truth; not man's ways. He desires you to be an
obedient, living holy sacrifice not just sitting idle.

The Priest At Home
Men, are you leading your homes biblically, living out the Word and
growing in your holiness or are you just going to man's church to watch
a show then it’s off to your own life of hobbies, watching TV and carnal
pro sports? God's Word is clear what you are to be about if you claim
Him and sadly you’re not being held to this in your body:
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His
own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who
called you out of darkness into His marvelous light 1 Peter 2:9
The bible calls men to be leaders of their own homes in training their
children in the admonition of the Lord, guiding their wives (wives
submitting to husbands Eph 5) and participating as a man in the body of
Christ. (Men loving their wives, see Ephesians 5)
Paul says about wives:
And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at
home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church. 1 Corinthians 14
Men… will you have any answers beyond the latest football scores?

What Man Has Added to God’s Plan
Do you know that worship leaders, choirs of special practiced
singers, Sunday school and youth pastors are NOT found
anywhere in God's Word? They are man's faulty creation
which is not of God. Those in the pews are controlled; they
draw bigger crowds to popular new and relevant entertaining
ways which create more man centered ideas; not biblical
Christ centered believers! Does God need such gimmicks? No!
We are to all lift our voices to the Lord as a group as it was
done in the New Testament church, with no focus on special
people up front on a stage, singing as a "worship show". Not
to mention the practice of using contemporary music that
usually looks and sounds like the world’s music and causes
those who claim they worship God, to act out emotionally
just like those at carnal concerts do. This is emotion based not
biblically based at all.

They move their bodies to the beat of hip new music that is
not biblically based when Paul says this: speaking to one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and
making melody in your heart to the Lord. Eph 5:19
Have you seen the emotional way music is used to affect
people today? Is creates moods when we are to be people of
the Word! Is that good, true and pure of actions of a people
towards a Holy Holy Holy God?
whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever
things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there
is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate
on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received
and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will
be with you.
Philippians 4:8

Fact: No instruments were used in the New Testament church
as they wanted a pure and true song from the heart and not
practiced musicians to woo the crowds with emotions which
is far too man centered. (Colossians 3:16)
We mentioned Sunday school and youth pastors. Neither are
biblical and they create a separation in the family when the
father is to be the teacher. Can we really improve on God’s
design? Fathers are to instruct their children not send them
off to others (that are often strangers) to teach and guide
them.
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but
bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4

Many youth programs have raised up "youth pastors" who
often leave God's pure and holy truth and are into
“entertaining” with silly carnal fun and often worldly games
and gimmicks. They are not raising up godly children for His
glory. Godly children should be with the body and learn from
their parents and adults. God's Word is clear. All these
programs play to the flesh but don’t add to godliness or bible
truth.
Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded
Titus 2:6
Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?
Certainly not! Romans 6:15
Conforming to the world’s standards is NOT for God’s body.

Where Are the Biblical Godly Ladies?
Why don’t the modern religious places today teach what
God's Word instructs godly ladies to do in its fullness?
*** Dress ****
The bible says to wear modest apparel (long flowing
garments/dresses to cover the form) Ladies, have you studied
God's word to see how you are to clothe and conduct yourself
as a called out godly woman? Most of today's women in the
modern church who claim new life in Christ do not submit to
their husbands, don't remain silent in the church body, they
don't dress biblically, nor do they cover their heads. God's
Word is clear....
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided
hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array 1 Timothy 2:9

The greek word for‘modest’ is kosmios= orderly and the greek
word for 'apparel' is 'katastole' which means a long hanging
robe like garment to totally and fully cover her form as God
did to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:21.
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter 3:3-4
Today you see shorts, heels, painted nails and make up!
Did you know that the word ‘kosmos’ references the world or
worldly affairs and the word ‘cosmetic’ comes from the Greek
word ‘kosmos’. All the references to make-up in the bible are
talking about harlots. Don’t you want to be & look pure?
(See our discernment blog on biblical ladies dress.)

To Cover Your Head?
But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head
uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same
as if her head were shaved. 1 Corinthians 11:5
*To not cover your head, to dress in anything less than
biblically obedient, painting your face with cosmetics and
adorning your outsides is the resemblance of what the bible
would describe as disobedient and worldly. (Yes, it’s true
ladies.) You see jeans, short skirts, modern stylish dresses,
form fitting, exposing clothing, make up, short hair, jewelry
etc. are not of a holy God; but of the fallen world. They say
"look at me" when God says cover up! The portrait of a godly
woman includes covering up the outside so that the inside
may be made manifest. No this is not legalism but the FRUIT
of obedience and LOVE for God's Word and ways.

These teachings on head coverings are NOT cultural either as
when Paul starts the letter to the Corinthians:
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are
sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in
every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both
theirs and ours 1 Corinthians 1:2
Paul states it is for all believers in every place who call on the
name of Jesus Christ. Does that mean you? As he moves on to
the commands of head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11 he states
that we are to keep all the ordinances he taught. Then in that
same chapter he teaches on the Lords Supper. Was that
cultural too? No it wasn't and so head coverings are a
wonderful spiritual blessings and a biblical teaching to be
obeyed. (See our discernment blog for headcoverings.)

*Sadly feminism rules today in the modern religious places with women
pastors (which is unbiblical) and most ladies who’s lives are more like
the carnal world than that of godly set apart Christ seekers.
Ladies, have you found these biblical teachings and blessings and are
you obediently practicing them? Has your husband or elders ever taught
you these truths? If not, then do you realize you are not being fully
obedient to His Word and ways? Will you gladly submit to Him?
Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Colossians 3:18
Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted
to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.
1 Corinthians 14:34
And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man,
but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
1Timothy 2:12-13

History Shows The Truth
Did you know that for 1900 years women of the Christian
faith practiced all of these things right up until very recently
when feminism rose up and perverted it all. Then the modern
denominational organizations rolled over and allowed it to
happen totally against God's holy Word just to keep the pews
filled up. Does this alarm you at all? It should as it is true!
If you don't think biblical dress and head covering matter
today, sadly you don't know or understand God's holy Word
and your buying into the lies of man's religion! As He called
out the Israelites to a different life: so He calls His true men
and woman out today in holiness. You are missing out on
tremendous blessings the Lord has for you and man's religion
is not teaching you these truths found in God's Word.

Who Hates You?
Do you know that Jesus said those who are His will be hated for His
name? Who hates denominational Christians for the gospel they live out
and proclaim? Most modern religious places are interested in drawing
non believing people and being liked by the fallen world; not standing in
full biblical truth with the gospel.
Jesus said: “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and
you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. Matthew 24:9
Are you living a biblical life in total set apart holiness; rejecting the fallen
culture's sinful ways around you? Are you persecuted for your life and
faith? The bible says if you're His you will be persecuted.
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer
persecution. 2 Timothy 3:12
Do you live and proclaim the biblical saving gospel in a way that those
around you (that are of the world) are convicted of their sin or are
you fitting right into the fallen world around you with man’s religion?
Well then; you may not be walking in Christ's truth at all?

Some recap facts about modern religious systems:
*Worship in a dedicated building - This began in the 4th
century at the hands of pagan Rome. (The early New
Testament church had NO such practice.)
*Clergy – We don't see a lifted up clergy class in the early
New Testament church. Pagan Rome and Protestants have
used and adjusted various forms of false clergy and none of
which are biblical in nature except elders as overseers, those
with the gift of pastoring and all men using their gifts. (The
New Testament church had NO other such practice.)
*Communion–The biblical Lord’s Supper was a fellowship
meal with bread and wine, 1 Corinthians 11; Matthew 26.) It
was turned into a tiny, assembly line act in the 2nd-4th
century as the lifted up clergy class arose.

* The Sermon – The early New Testament church practiced
orderly but "open" services with singing, teaching and many
believers using their gifts. As this biblical form died out in the
4th century the clergy arose and began using Roman rhetoric
ways delivered by professionals thus was born the modern
day sermon as the standard. (The early New Testament
church had NO such practice.)
*Organs/Instruments - history shows there weren’t musical
instruments in the NT church until the Middle Ages.
Instruments then became the norm, appear in the 13th
Century. (The early New Testament church had NO such
practice.)
*Order of worship – The Roman mass comes in about the 6th
century under Pope Gregory and the protestant forms of
worship have been adapted from it in various ways.

There was NO formal order of worship in the early New
Testament church as it was spirit led, not man led. (The early
New Testament church had NO such practice.)
*Choirs –groups of trained singers started in Rome in the 4th
century. (The early New Testament church had NO such
practice.)
*Tithing –In the 4th century the tithe was brought into the
bodies to help pay for the lifted up clergy class. Constantine
made it a practice and it lives on today in the modern
religious places. (The early New Testament church had
NO such practice.)
*Sunday school –This goes back to the eighteenth century. It
was created for secular children and then adapted by the
modern religious world. (The New Testament church had NO
such practice.)

While these facts may be offensive, they are given in love and
His truth can set men free! Are you free in Christ's truth or
trapped in man's lies? We care so we speak out. In the end,
the real product of man's denominational religious system is
most often an unbiblical system, worldly, carnal, false
converts who 'go to church' but are NOT regenerated and
living daily as Christ's true body. It is sad as seen by the fruit
we have just previously listed. Jesus warned:
And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and
hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead
many astray. And because wickedness is multiplied, most
men's love will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will
be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached
throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations;
and then the end will come. Matthew 24:10-14

You may ask... how has this happened? First, as we've shown
you, the pagan Romans did many changes back in the 4th
Century. But do you know who Robert Schuller, Rick Warren,
Peter Drucker, C. Peter Wagner, Bill Hybels, and Joel Osteen
are? Don't feel bad as often many modern pastors don't even
know who all these men are, yet they are teaching the very
things these wolves have brought to corrupt God's truth.
(Their unbiblical, man centered, seeker sensitive ways.) These
are just a few of the more recent famous false teachers who
have had a role over the last 40 years to purposely steer the
modern religious system even further off its course and away
from God's saving truth. Millions (like you perhaps?) are
following them on the wide road to destruction. What is their
goal? They are satan's workers (1 Peter 5:8) and he wants to
steal God's glory, and destroy people….

…and build a false (coming) one world system of religion that
the antichrist will rule over one day before Jesus returns.
(Revelation 13) The bible teaches all world religions will link
up to worship a false leader, the antichrist. Some feel we are
close to this happening today and we could be by the many
signs we see happening.
Are you looking for the Lord's return? Are you ready and in
His spirit and truth and prepared to meet Him? We can
discuss all of this in great detail if you decide to contact us to
reason together. Most religious and denominational people
have NO clue what is full truth and what is coming upon this
earth soon. It will be great tribulation!
(See Matthew 24)
Please, have ears to hear will you?

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will
come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of
money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of
good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness
but denying its power. And from such people turn
away! For of this sort are those who creep into
households and make captives of gullible women
loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
always learning and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7
(Are you ready to come into the knowledge of truth?)

Why is this nation in such a mess and in a moral decline? Sin
is the answer and sadly the gospel has been corrupted and is
not a light of truth. Today biblical ignorance, worldliness and
rebellion rule the day. It is NOT bible truth that is taught and
it is making weak, false converts. The result is an immoral
culture ripe for God's judgment to come. This false system
and its practices has many man-made pagan ways and lies. It
does not have the power to convict and call out sinners from
this culture. Sadly it does not teach the true gospel that
Christ and the Apostles proclaimed to mankind.
You may think we are quite harsh on man's religion, and we
are! Do you know who Jesus most often called out in very
harsh manner? The religious leaders of His day! God hates
false religion (Matt 23) and so do we but; we love those
trapped in it like we were once. (See Deuteronomy 12)
Will you repent of these unbiblical ways?

If you doubt these truths, do some serious bible and history
study as well. Many play "man's church" but lack the
knowledge to see clearly to God's truth. God wants better for
His true people. Are you one of them or just a product of
man’s religious system?
************************************************
Jesus said: You will know them by their fruits Matthew 7:16
*Godly fruit is if you desire to seek ALL of His ways and shed
any falsehoods or traditions of man, for His glory.
If you love Me, keep My commandments John 14:15
So if you claim to know and love Jesus Christ you must know
and keep His ways, not man's.

What Would Jesus or Apostle Paul Say Today?
Would the Apostles or Jesus even recognize the modern
places as His church by their biblical fruit? They were holy, set
apart, focused on God's Word, living as daily sacrifices before
Him; following ALL His ways not man's traditions. What does
your modern body look like in comparison? Today most all fail
the test of God's Word. What does that say to you? God's
truth is eternal so why has man changed God's holy body to
be more man centered, emotional, relevant, carnal and
worldly? The answer is sin. How do you fix that? You repent
and cling to God’s Word in total obedience. You then reject
man's ways and run to God's no matter the cost. (And it will
cost you much...we know this.)
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come
after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
follow Me Matthew 16:24

Do you know satan doesn't fight man's religion, he created it,
uses it, then he takes souls to hell with him? Do you know he
comes as an angel of light?
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an
angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:14
Again please test all you believe lest you be deceived!
(1 Thessalonians 5:21)
We were saved out of man's false denominational system and
we come here in truth to inform you of the serious biblical
errors that "could" cost you your eternal life. You won't grow
in the biblical way the Father has ordained unless you seek
His ways and reject man's. Jesus warned in Matthew 7 that
MANY will think they are His but He will cast them away into
hell because they are lawless! We lovingly challenge you, and
anyone else to reason over God's Word with us and seek the
truth for God’s glory.

Jesus said:
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in
heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name,
and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will
declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who
practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:21-23
*************************************************
Jesus also said:
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which
leads to life, and there are FEW who find it. Matthew 7:14
Are you following the massive modern religious crowds or are
you on His VERY narrow road to spirit, truth and biblical
worship?

Why Does This ALL Matter?
The bible teaches that Christ's true body functions in all
biblical truth, is overseen by elders, runs by His Spirit; meets
often in close knit relationships with accountability to one
another; is obedient, pure, holy and not of this world's fallen
ways and they are aliens and pilgrims in this world. Do you
feel like an alien here because you follow His ways? Or do you
fit right into this world (that satan rules) that God will destroy
one day because of disobedience, rebellion and sin?
“who once were not a people but are now the people of God,
who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from
fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct
honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against
you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they
observe, glorify God in the day of visitation”. 1 Peter 2:10-12

We have exposed much truth to you here. Do you care to go
deeper to seek perfection for His glory? If you claim Him, then
you must strive on for truth or darkness will be your end.
Jesus said: And this is the condemnation, that the light has
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than
light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing
evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his
deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes
to the light, that they have been done in God.” John 3: 19-21
Why do these areas matter? Why must you strive for higher
holy ground and truth in His word? Because mere belief is not
enough. Even the demons believe—and tremble James 2:19
Jesus said: Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just
as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Why should you desire biblical holiness? The Word says:
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no
one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14
Why should you try to be holy (set apart) in all that you do?
The bible says: But as He who called you is holy, you also be
holy in all your conduct. 1 Peter 1:15
What kind of life should you live? The bible says:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to
God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
Why should you be striving and clinging to God’s way’s not
man’s? You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, For
their deceit is falsehood. Psalm 119:118
*God will reject those who reject His biblical way’s*

Now you may think we just want to steal converts and I want
to be a pastor but that's not true. We are simply called to
proclaim the gospel truth and labor to see God build His New
Testament church for His glory. That is what we are doing as
we approach modern religious places and people. Ephesians
5:11 says: "expose evil" Would you agree that denying His
holy ways for man's fallen ways is evil? (Man and satan has
stolen God's plan and created a false one.) We have found
that most in the modern places today are in great darkness
shown by their doctrinal fruit. It is evidenced by how the
modern CEO pastors and people most often reject God's holy
truth but follow their traditions and error, even after being
told the truth! God's Word makes it clear that unless you're
obediently seeking ALL of His light, you don't have a Christ like
mind and you may be in great danger of losing your soul.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast
off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of
light. Romans 13:12
Today you may be fooling yourself, like we once were. Don't
be cheated by modern pastors who count on you to keep idle
and sitting in the pews for their building plans and career pay.
That was NEVER God's plan so don't be deceived any longer.
Seek the truth and be set free in His mighty name. Jesus said:
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.” John 8:32
If you choose to reject His true message (it is God's holy
Word, not ours) you do so at great peril. It costs everything to
follow Christ. Jesus said: Matthew 10:39 He who finds his life
will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Having read all of this material, we pray you see these errors,
repent, turn to God's Word, be obedient in ALL things and
seek His truth not yours or man's ways any longer. This world
is fading fast and evil is coming to rule it soon. Please redeem
the time!
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians
5:15-16
It does not matter if you’re Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist,
Methodist, Evangelical free or whatever. If you are outside of
God’s truth, you cannot worship Him or stand in the days to
come. Jesus said: making the word of God of no effect
through your tradition which you have handed down. And
many such things you do. Mark 7:13
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the
way of death. Proverbs 14:12

A Falling Away
Did you know that the bible warns about a great falling away
in the last days and many will be spiritually deceived by false
teachers? Per their fruit; most religious places and modern
CEO pastors today are deceived or deceiving many. We could
be in those last days; please don't be one of the deceived.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they
have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.
2 Timothy 4:3
But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken
before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told
you that there would be mockers in the last time who would
walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Jude 1:17-18

As people go about their ritual, man-made religious practices,
most will say “these are such small issues, they really don't
matter do they”? We would ask you this……..
What do call a person if he breaks one law? A criminal. What
are you called if you deny God's holy ways after knowing the
truth? A rebellious sinner! What does God’s Word say about
such people?
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it,
to him it is sin. James 4:17
********To continue in lies and falsehood is sin*******
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
Does God deserve ALL or just some of your obedience and
faithfulness if you claim Him? Will you cling to man’s false
religious system or God’s truth as fruit that He is at work in
you?

Are you a Berean pouring over the word daily to test and to
find ALL of the truth? “they received the word with all
readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out
whether these things were so” Acts 17:11
Are you just content to do religion, paying a modern pastor to
control everything and do things after man’s system? God
never ordained any of His true followers to be part of a
compromised and corrupt system that is practiced today.
But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with
the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God
who tests our hearts. 1 Thessalonians 2:4
present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not
need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15

Now that we have exposed the modern system, you may ask,
what is God's true model for His church? Please go to Him,
pray and then seek it the Word and find it for yourself.
(You can find more details on our discernment blog)
Can you imagine small groups of committed people coming
together to enjoy the Lord’s Supper as a meal in a home. No
man is running the meeting but there are (eventually) elders
who oversee to make sure God's Word and order is upheld.
They don't run gathering but they just guide when needed by
godly example. Then as God's spirit leads, someone could
start a song and the others join in. (Nothing is practiced.)
In the setting of a home, which creates closeness and
freedom, someone brings a testimony, another brings a
teaching, another an experience they had, a man who feels
he has a pastors gift shepherds the people with a bible

message and he looks to counsel and lift up those around him
who need it. Someone asks for prayer and they pray together.
All the while the children are there to see God's Holy Spirit
move. Another man says 'I have a question' and it is
addressed by the group. Another man says 'I want to read
from the Psalms‘. Each man can address and use his gifts.
All of this is done with no paid modern ruling pastor, no
planned out themes, no printed bulletin, no special expensive
building, no paid staff, no worship leaders, no set time limits.
(You leave when you need to.) An offering for a good cause
can be taken and amazingly all of the money goes right to the
need, none to pay for insurance, electricity, wages, parking
lots or carpet in the narthex that you don't even need!

There is also a time for the elders to formally teach the body
and in this we see a setting of the biblical true New Testament
church. It is not run by one man (a modern pastor) but by the
Holy Spirit. The elders over-see and other men, who God
calls, use their gifts as they gather in truth and love. They also
hold each other accountable to holy lives. And what is the
result? A spirit led church where everyone is expected to use
their gifts, love another, hold each other to His holiness and
truth in close fellowship to grow in commitment together as
His body. (No worldly saints here.)
In this setting, men and women grow in the Lord as they are
called out to study, learn, love and care for each other in real
ways through God's Spirit. The body is united, biblically
based, maturing and seeking His ways, not the modern
religious ways the pagans have given the world.

Then they go out into the world and proclaim the gospel to
the lost and "God" adds to His church, not through church
techniques that men/satan's workers have passed on to
them. Then as the body grows they still don't need a building.
They simply divide and move to other homes, in time more
elders step up to oversee and they continue God's model of
"being the church" not ever "going to one"! They may plan to
rent or meet at a large place to all unite at times but still no
need for buying brick and mortar as God's house is holy
people, not buildings. There is a beauty of His plan versus
man’s perverted ways that are being practiced. It calls for
those who will rely on God's spirit for truth; not man for
religious ritual services. For if you live according to the flesh
you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of
the body, you will live. Romans 8:13
How different is that from what you practice?

We began this presentation saying: Jesus said “the Father is
looking for those who will seek truth and the spirit” (John
4:23) What are you seeking in your faith life? Is obeying His
truth easy and are there many people who desire it? Not at
all. But weren't we told that narrow is the path? Do you
realize Noah only had 7 others on the ark with him that were
spared from God's wrath? (Read Genesis 7) The things of God
are hard (we are even called to die for the Lord) and we know
the way to destruction is broad. Those who want ALL of Christ
want to do His hard things and be on that VERY narrow, holy
road to eternal life. How about you? Will you settle for man's
ways that will lead to easy believe-ism, false doctrine, death
and God’s judgment? Does His truth matter to you? If His
word cannot move you to see this truth and then change or
reject a false man-made unbiblical system; God's Word says
you may not be in Christ's saving truth at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 1 John 1:6
What would you call worshipping in a way that goes against
His truth and light? Sin and darkness. The modern religious
world is living in that daily. What will you live in for His glory
now that you know the full truth? As we have said, we care
about you and we do understand. We too had to answer
issues for ourselves as His truth had us leave man's
denominational religion for a new life in Him. We were set
free into His truth and want that for you as well. Yes, the
cost was great and few will follow this path but His saints are
called to do it or …you cannot be His disciple!
Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate,
says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive
you." 2 Corinthians 6:14
