To the honest student of the Holy Scriptures, the title of this series is obviously true. The other 99% of the Christian world simmer in anger if they read part 1 of this series, or heard me speak on the subject, or even read the series title. It is for them that this series, along with all other teachings produced by this website, was written. As I have stated before, this ministry is focused on professing Christendom which is God’s primary mission field. I consider myself an internet missionary to the lost and floundering religious system that calls itself “Christianity.”

That said, I will now prove my point using the Book the vast majority of professing Christendom owns, reads and occasionally quotes, but about which they know very little, and believe very little of what they know, and obey very little of what they believe. When I talk to people about the Bible that they profess is God’s Word, they look at me as if I am making it up. When I back up my statements by reading them aloud from the Holy Scriptures the reaction is normally a combination of anger and unbelief. One local pastor accused me of having “fallen from grace.” Another false prophet invited me to his church so that I could “get saved.” My sin was that I believed the Holy Bible, obeyed it and called church doctrine what it is–an ABOMINATION. Church doctrine is what each denomination believes God should have said and would have said if they had been around to advise Him. Each of the hundreds of “churches” was founded by someone who had a better grasp on spiritual truth than the Bible’s Author. If they had believed what God said, there would be only one church. Read Ephesians 4:4-6 and First Corinthians 1:10. Recall that the Apostle Paul, the author of those letters, received his gospel directly from Jesus Himself by revelation (Gal. 1:12).

We will now study a selected group of Biblical passages that explain in plain language how the gates of hell (false religion) have prevailed in its war with the church that was founded some 2000 years ago. But first I will repeat my earlier declaration: GOD’S LAW-ABIDING CHURCH STILL REIGNS SUPREME IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. SHE CONTINUES TO OBEY HIS ETERNAL WORD (LAW) (1 PET. 1:25). IT IS THE OTHER 99% OF PROFESSING CHRISTENDOM OVER WHICH SATAN HAS GAINED TOTAL CONTROL.

For the remainder of this series I will state a church “truth,” then provide a Biblical passage or a paraphrase of a passage that proves the church “truth” to be a lie straight from the mind of the devil. His fallen angels (demonic spirits) then delivered his “church truths” to the pastors of his various false churches (the Catholic/Protestant Religious System) who deliver them to their disciples who depend on them to deliver their respective denomination’s version of “Bible truth.” The churches of professing Christendom choose their pastors based on how well they prove the Bible to be wrong and their particular doctrines to be right.

Following a stated church doctrine, I will then provide the appropriate Biblical references in the hope that the reader will STUDY the complete passages, as well as other references I will supply, to help him/her know exactly what God tells us through His “holy men of old who spoke (and wrote) as they were led by the Spirit of God” (2 Pet. 1:21). I will write in broad, general terms because I have written extensively on specific topics, showing how the church rejects many specific commands from God then substitutes their own versions of spiritual “truths.” Jesus spoke to this heresy in Matthew 15:6-9. Read the home page of this website for a partial list of heathen “truths” with which the church has replaced God’s Word (Law). The Institutional Church has not only embraced those substitutes, but has made them the foundation stones of their various religious groups.

CHURCH DOCTRINE: Because there are many different kinds of Christians, each having his/her own interpretation of the Bible, God allows those of like mind to create a church body, create doctrines that reflect its beliefs and live according to that body’s version of “Bible truths.”

THE BIBLE: Second Peter 1:20-2:2: “Knowing this FIRST OF ALL, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for holy men of old spoke and wrote as they were led by God’s Holy Spirit.” False prophets and false teachers have arisen among all such groups and have led them astray while bringing destruction upon themselves, thereby causing God’s Truth to be rejected and vilified–(Mat. 24:4,5/ Isa. 28:9-13/ Rom. 10:19).

CHURCH DOCTRINE: Because of Adam’s sin, each of his descendants carries his sin gene within his/her spiritual dna. For this reason, sin is man’s nature which, like height and eye color, cannot be changed. Jesus died so that man can do what man MUST do–sin–and get away with it. The fix is in. Man needs only to believe it, repent, then he is free to sin and repent again, and again, etc. The cycle ends only at death, at which time Jesus gives the sinner saved by grace one final scrub-down before handing him/her the key to his/her mansion located on a street of gold, etc. Read the Kingdom of God. Key word–Kingdom.

THE BIBLE: In First John 3:1-10 the Lord, through His apostle, tells us in detail how we must conduct ourselves in order to spend eternity with Him. In the first three verses He reminds those who believe and obey Him how fortunate they are to be His children. He then describes the saint’s appearance after having been born again upon Christ’s return to earth at which time He will bring about the First Resurrection. Read Born Again. Key word–Born. In order to make that HOPE come true we must continually purify ourselves by spiritually washing our hearts (minds) by the intake of the cleansing water that is God’s Word (Eph. 5:26). We must not break God’s Law, for that is His definition of sin. We must abide “in Him” where no sin abides. One cannot sin and abide in Him. One must do righteousness for He is righteousness. One who commits sin is of the devil. One who is not righteous in his doings is not of God. What does this say about those who claim to be sinners saved by grace? (1 Pet. 1:15,16; 2:5,9).

CHURCH DOCTRINE: The Law and the writings of the prophets (the Old Testament) play no active role in the life of the Christian. Having been nailed to the cross of Jesus Christ, they serve only as ancient references for the “new truth” and not as God’s doctrines to be obeyed by a more enlightened church conglomerate.

THE BIBLE: In Matthew 5:17 Jesus proclaimed that He did not come to earth to destroy either the Law or the writings of the prophets, but rather to fulfill them, meaning to live them to the fullest. In Romans 7:12 the Apostle Paul writes that the Law IS (now) holy, just and good. In Second Timothy 3:14-16 he states that ALL scripture (which would include the Old Testament), IS (continues to be) inspired by God and profitable for doctrine, for teaching, for correction and for training in righteousness. In Ephesians 2:20 we are reminded that the New Testament Church was founded on the writings of both the prophets and the apostles. In Romans 2:13 Paul tells us that God’s people are not merely hearers of the Law, but are doers of the Law. Those who hear the Law but refuse to do (obey) it are deceiving themselves (Jam. 1:22). In Isaiah 42:21 it is prophesied that the Messiah would come to earth to magnify the Law and return it to its honorable status–(1 Cor. 10:11/ Rom. 15:18/ Jn. 15:10/ Jam. 1:22/ 1 Pet. 1:25/ Amos 3:3–we must be in agreement with the Lord or we cannot now nor will we ever walk with Him.

Any honest observer of what has happened to the church masses over the past several hundred years knows that the Institutional Catholic/Protestant Church has suffered almost total apostasy (falling away from the Lord– ) that Paul prophesied would take place prior to Christ’s Second Advent. But God has always had a remnant–a tiny group of believers who refused to go with the religious flow. The modern remnant is still obeying His Word/Law. For that reason we will join Jesus in the air and descend with Him to the Mount of Olives. Then we will go with Him into Jerusalem where He will establish the Kingdom of God where we will live forever while ruling, first the earth for 1000 years, then the universe forever. Read The Kingdom of God and God’s Very Elect. Key words–Kingdom and Elect respectively. L.J.
