The Apostle Paul tells us that, prior to his conversion, he had been the leader of his Pharisaic brethren in their zeal toward the “traditions of the fathers” (Gal. 1:14). It was only after meeting Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus that he realized that, though he had “known” throughout his adult life that he was spiritually “alive” and walking in the will of God, he had actually been spiritually dead and was the servant of Satan. It was only after receiving God’s Law that he realized that he was a sinner. Until that time he “knew” that he was spiritually “alive.” But “then the Law came, and I died” (Rom. 7:9). He realized that, because he had disobeyed God’s Law, he was a Satan-serving sinner. He realized that sin brought spiritual death, and that in order not to remain dead he had to obey God’s Law.

His problem had been that, not knowing the Law, he did not know God’s definition of sin–the same problem suffered by the Institutional Church today. The Apostle John solves that problem for the New Testament Church. While operating under the power and direction of the Holy Spirit he wrote: “TO TRANSGRESS THE LAW IS SIN; FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW” (1 Jn. 3:4). Ask any churchite what sin is and one WILL NOT HEAR THE WORD “LAW” AT ANY TIME. This fact reveals the power Satan maintains over professing Christendom. God’s Ten Commandment Law is the premiere and central factor relative to sin and righteousness. To obey that Law = righteousness; to disobey it = sin. Eve’s dealing with the Serpent and the rich man’s dealing with Jesus teach the same lesson–obey the Law of God and succeed; disobey it and fail. EVERYTHING COMES BACK TO THE WORD/LAW OF GOD. TO IGNOR THIS TRUTH WILL RESULT IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE IGNOR-ANT.

Upon being confronted with God’s Law, Paul realized that he was spiritually dead. He spent the rest of his life warning others not to repeat his deadly mistake by disobeying what he called the Lord’s “holy, just and good” Law (Rom. 7:12). It was at the point of receiving God’s Truth that Paul realized that he had been living a lie. He had been obeying the religious traditions that had been handed down from generation to generation. This is the soul-destroying spiritual disease which, for approximately 1700 years, has been secretly destroying salvation seekers whose leaders have substituted man-made church doctrines (traditions) for God’s Law. These false prophets did (do) not known that they were (are) spreading Satan’s lies. They simply preached (preach) what they had (have) been taught to preach. I will share (again) proof of his power over the approximate 450,000 church ministers serving in today’s false church. I printed an article in the local newspaper in which I related the same information that is in this series. A local preacher was asked his opinion of what I wrote. He said: “Everything he (I) said in that article is true, BUT THAT’S NOT THE WAY WE’RE GOING.” He admitted to his parishioner that he was teaching the people opposite of God’s Word. And what is equally incredible is that the woman agreed with him. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SATAN.

Having been born into an uber-religious family, I was the recipient of such generational error, much of which was borrowed from BABALONIAN HEATHENISM.” Several times in the Holy Bible God warns us to: “Learn not the ways of the heathen for they are an abomination unto Me.” Over the years that I have been writing on this website and speaking on Youtube I have periodically spoken and written about the heathenization of the church. Though I no longer teach on Youtube, my teachings can still be seen and heard at www.proveallthingsofgod.com.

I periodically write about the numerous heathen beliefs and practices which the church “knows” to be of the Lord. I repeat these deadly errors in order to remind readers of the control Satan exercises over professing Christendom. Because the church clings to his “truths” and refuses to hear God’s Truth, I occasionally remind readers to follow God’s command found in Second Corinthians 6:14-7:1. Read that passage with care and obey God’s orders. In this series we will examine a number of Satanic (heathen) traditions of the church fathers that are believed to come straight from the heart of God. In this series I will present condensed versions of larger, more detailed teachings which can be downloaded by using the key words provided. Let us begin.

THE RAPTURE: In 1830 an Irish woman named Margaret McDonald had a dream in which all Catholic people were taken to heaven just before the Great Tribulation began. Believing the dream to be a truth sent to her from God, she shared it with her priest who, knowing a pew-filler when he saw one, preached it as a message from the Lord. In short order it became a God-ordained, undeniable fact that spread throughout the Catholic Church like wildfire. Such new “truth” could not be contained. Before long became a Protestant “truth” and remains so to this day. Today the so-called “rapture” is a “thus saith the Lord” fact. Read more about the “rapture ruse” using the key word–Rapture.

ORIGINAL SIN: During the latter part of the 4th century in a North African region called Hippo a viral disease was killing small children at a rapid rate. Their parents, believing that water baptism was necessary for entrance to heaven, began to pressure their local Catholic priest, named Augustine, to baptize their children soon after they were born. Augustine, knowing that baptism represented the removal of sin, and that sin was the breaking of God’s Law, and that the children had not broken the Law, the priest did not see the need to baptize them. However, being under intense pressure to do so, he agreed to baptize all young children under his authority. However, he had to formulate a rationale that church elders would accept. His solution to the problem was to declare that all people were sinners at birth due to Adam’s sin which was miraculously transferred to his descendants–all of mankind. In short order the theory caught on and was soon being preached as “Gospel truth” throughout both Catholic and Protestant churches. What made the lie so easy to believe was that Adam’s sin transferal enabled church people to sin and get away with it. Being infected at conception, sin was declared “natural” and therefore unavoidable–beyond man’s control. One could not be responsible for something he/she could not control. Read more about this error using the key word–Original. It is from this Satanic church “truth” that so-called “sinners saved by grace” emerged. This lie is one of the devil’s most effective weapons of mass spiritual destruction.

THE TRINITY: Following Roman Emperor Constantine’s edict which made Catholicism the state religion for the entire massive Roman Empire, the people of the nations the empire conquered were forced into the Catholic Church. Some of these people worshiped a god having three heads. In order to placate those people the church embraced their god, but with a slight change. In the Catholic version there were three separate but united gods which came to be known as the “Trinity.” Originally, the “three in one” trio consisted of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. After undergoing a series of changes the church eventually settled on the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit.

LIFE AFTER DEATH: A popular belief found among the world’s pagans was that, immediately following death, the deceased entered either a paradise or a fiery pit, depending on his/her obedience to the god his/her people observed. Once introduced to the church, this theory quickly became “God’s Truth” in spite of the fact that God tells us plainly that at death the dead return to their original form and remain so until the return of Jesus Christ. Ninety-nine percent of professing Christendom rejects the Lord’s clear teaching. Until that time the dead are unaware of anything that is going on in the universe. They are dead. Period.
