The primary sign that New Age theology has been embraced wholeheartedly by the Institutional Church is the denominational system.  This does not sound reasonable in that each person making up mankind is supposedly a god, and that we all worship and serve the same god.  The key lies in the belief that we worship the same god but EACH IN HIS OWN WAY.  Those different “ways” are called denominations in which “Christian” mankind has exercised his/her godness by determining which parts (if any) of God’s Holy Bible one wishes to believe and, if one so desires, obey.

Let us compare this scenario to what the Lord says to mankind through the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:1-5 where he reminds those in the church that we are “prisoners of the Lord” and must walk worthy of that status, exhibiting humility and working to keep church unity through the Holy Spirit.  In order to do that we must remember that there is “ONE body (church) and ONE Spirit, … ONE calling (into that body), ONE hope, ONE Lord (Jesus), ONE faith (based on one body of Truth), ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all” Who is (now) abiding (in the form of His Holy Spirit) within those who are (now) His.  These souls will remain His IF they “endure to the end” in obedience to Him (Mat. 10:22), who are still “His at His coming” (1 Cor. 15:22,23).  These will not be ashamed to stand before Him at that time (1 Jn. 2:28).  Question: why would a saved/born again church member be ashamed to face Jesus upon His return?  Because we are neither saved nor born again in this life.  In order to be saved/born again we must “endure to the end” in ONENESS WITH HIM.  Read The Hope of Salvation and Born Again.  Key words–Hope and Again respectively.

Those who are truly His now believe and obey 1 Corinthians 15:22,23, which means that they  have nothing to do with the Catholic/Protestant religious system, even though each member is supposedly a god on par with Jesus Christ.  Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 which proves that we are not all gods as the church claims that she is.  Only God can determine right and wrong, righteousness and sin.  The three following examples are of self-mandated man-gods declaring that the Words of the Biblical God are wrong and can only be corrected by true god-men, meaning themselves.

Denominations: God says that there is only one true church/faith/congregation.  God-man has divided his church into two parts and one of those parts into hundreds of mini-parts.  Each segment has its own truth, which differs from the ONE Truth, which makes it a denomination.  Only God can determine good and evil.  Who gave god-man the authority to change what God’s definition?  The answer, of course is god-men.  These are they who tell us that they have the power to change any Biblical passage, “even the precepts of Christ.”  Read Simon of Samaria: The Legacy.  Key word–Legacy– along with all other church doctrines.  Actually, the word “denomination” is a misnomer relative to the true church.  A denomination of anything, like money, is simply a true part of a real item.  Two twenties, five tens and ten ones=$100.00 and are all legitimate because the primary item (money) is in fact real.  On the other hand, a religious denomination is not a true part of the ONE church in that both the primary item (Catholicism/Protestantism) and its various parts are all fake.  God said that there is only ONE BODY OF CHRIST.  The false church says that there are hundreds of bodies of Christ.  Someone is lying.

The Sabbath: God said that His weekly Sabbath must be observed on the seventh day of the week.  The denominations of the false church observe their sabbaths on the first day of the week.  Again, the sabbath observed by the false churches bears absolutely no resemblance to the true Sabbath of the Lord.  The churches profane His Sabbath by doing their own pleasures on that day, which He calls “the holy of the Lord.”  False Christians not only reject God’s Sabbath, but also do the exact opposite of what He commands His people to do on His Holy Sabbath, as we are instructed in Isaiah 58:13.

The Law: God-man has nailed the Law of the Lord to the cross of Christ and demands that it remain there.  This in spite of the fact that Jesus came to earth to “magnify the Law and make it honorable (again)–Isaiah 42:21.  Paul, who received his gospel directly from Jesus Christ, called the Law “holy, just and good” (Rom. 7:12).  John said that the Law defines sin (and therefore righteousness)–sin if you break it and righteousness if you obey it (1 Jn. 3:4).

The above falsities, along with many more church “truths,” are Biblically defined as “doctrines of devils” which, if believed and obeyed, separates one from God (Isa. 59:2).  This prevents one from “walking together” with Him in agreement (Amos 3:3).  Those who disagree with God do not walk with Him and therefore will not spend eternity with Him.

The New Age Church declares that she can make her own determinations relative to good and evil.  God speaks to this Satanic bit of theology in Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but that way leads to death.”  The New Age Catholic/Protestant Church walks the way that seems right to her.  Unless there is a 180 degree change in her collective life, the Lake of Fire is in her future.  L.J.
