The Holy Bible was written to, for and about God’s people. His initial Words involved the ancient Israelites–His “church in the wilderness” (Acts 7:38). The more recent edition involves the “Israel of God”–His end-time church (Gal. 6:16) made up primarily of the physical descendants of the wilderness Israelites along with a contingent of biological Gentiles. See White Fields. Within the Holy Tome we learn that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23), therefore all need correction. As stated earlier, correction involves judgment–comparison of what is done, said, thought, etc. to what should be done, said, thought, etc. For judgment to be carried out correctly, there must be an accepted standard to which one’s acts, words, thoughts, etc. are compared. In the church realm, there is only one such Standard recognized by the God of the universe–His Holy Bible. However, within professing Christendom God’s Standard has been discarded in favor of group consensus. The power behind this globally accepted heresy is Satan, who does not work alone. The instruments he uses to manipulate the hundreds of church groups (denominations) into accepting his doctrines, customs, etc. are false prophets who, having been taught by false prophets, pass Satan’s heathenism on to future false prophets. The system has worked to perfection for some 1700 years and will continue to work until the return of Jesus Christ, as He tells us in His Standard.

The church’s root problem is sin–what it is and what to do about it. Rejecting God’s Biblical definition of sin (1 Jn. 3:4), the professing church–Catholicism/Protestantism–has concocted her own definitions according to whatever pleases those in each cult (denomination).  In that denominations are an abomination to God (1 Cor. 1:10,13; 11:18; 3:3/Eph. 4:4-6), and in that the cults reject His definition, all cult members reject all of God’s Word, thereby condemning themselves. Hear the Words of Jesus Christ: “… he that does not believe (all  of) My Word is CONDEMNED ALREADY because light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because they are evil. Everyone that does evil hates the light (God’s Word) because it reveals their evil. He who seeks Truth comes to the light ….” (Jn. 3:17-21). Because of the church’s rejection of the Lord’s Word, He says of those in professing Christendom: “they perish because they do not love the Truth so that they might be saved. And for this reason God shall send them strong delusion that they might believe a lie and be damned because they reject the Truth and take pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thess. 2:10,11). Is there an overwhelming need for judgment and correction in professing Christendom? Most say no. Why? False prophets.

Satan’s false prophets have taught their followers that sin is natural within the church due to Adam’s miraculous transferal of sin from him to every human born after him. Churchites dismiss God commands for judgment and correction with a shrug, “knowing” that sin is inevitable, and that their inevitable sins are “covered” by either Mary or Grace, depending on whether one is Catholic or Protestant.
