Ever learning, and learning, and learning......from men with agendas! The knowledge of truth take a back seat!

Church buildings on every other corner, cemeteries...I mean seminaries, bible colleges, schools, bibles, how many versions?,bible dictionaries, concordances, bible commentaries, bible book stores, cd's, dvd's, teachers, preachers, pastors, and other creatures, seminars, if you got the bucks, special auditorium week long movie star preachers, if you got the moola, radio and tv preachers coming out our ears and yet......the word of God in Matt. 24:11Jesus, according to most Christians, was fibbing us again, when He said 'and when I return will I find faith on the earth', 'And MANY false prophets will rise and deceive MANY'.
Isn't He a kidder? Of course we have faith....look all the STUFF we got. We are increased and have need of nothing', yet Jesus said 'you are wretched, poor, blind, and naked'! How many 'Pinocchios' can we give Christ just in this one short paragraph?

Here's another lie according to the organized church. 2Peter 2:1 .....there will be false teachers among you....

Another fraudulent verse according to 'churchianity' lockstep. 1Tim.4:1 ....in the latter times some/many will depart from the faith (the gospel once delivered unto the saints), giving heed to seducing spirits(demons) and doctrines of devils.'

What other religion on earth prophesies in Jesus name, casts out devils, and does many wonderful WORKS?

I can think of none and neither can you.

Matt. 7:20-22 '....by their fruits you shall know them. Not all that say unto Me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will (obeys His word) of My Father.
Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name (in our name), cast out Devils in Thy Name (in our name), and done many wonderful works (in our name)?'

'Then I will profess unto them...depart from Me you that work corruption.'

Most Christians just slide along comfortably swallowing everything their churchianity churns out. No question, no scrutiny, no research, no study, no prayer.

If I could get a dollar for every time I heard the words 'my pastor says', my wife and I could go on a nice cruise....maybe Alaska....I like the moose's. News flash: your 'pastor' is just a man, maybe a nice man but just a man who has taken center stage unto himself which defies God's command about 'exalting one's self' according to Matt. 20 and 23.

And yes, I'm just a man. Do not take my word for it.......read your bible. The scripture I point to......check it out. Study.

'Study to show yourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth.' It's incumbent upon us individually to study and be responsible to God, not to some dynamic speaking overlord who claims some sort of 'delegated authority' above and over the congregation which is unbiblical. See:Matt.20 for proof. I suppose that's another joke also.
Watch over and guide, not rule over and reign.
As the Bereans studied to 'see if these things be so', instead of Godifying one man (infallible pope, in this case the beloved pastor) and never comparing his teaching to the word is dangerous at best and eternally dangerous at worse!

How many of you will search and destroy all that is smack up against His word.

Either His word is true or He's the biggest Kidder of the ages. You must decide.

Did He mean 'many' or just a paltry 'few' would be deceived? Scary stuff.

Protestantism as a hole certainly institutionalized Martin Luther's hatred of the Anabaptist's Sitzrecht—“the sitter’s right”, whereby all worshipers were allowed to participate in services.

"Luther announced that “the Sitzrecht was from the pit of hell” and was a “perversion of public order . . . undermining respect for authority.” Within 20 years, over 116 laws were passed in German lands throughout Europe making this “Anabaptist heresy” a capital offense."​

Lovely guy...

Here's another lie according to the organized church.
are you against the organized church? you can always preach outside of it...

I live in a small town... there's a guy here who feels he has a message to get out... so a while back he put flyers on windshields all over town... got permission from the recreation center to use one of their rooms... I think he currently has a service in the community room of one of the housing projects.


Be free! Be blessed!
Amen to that!
