I'm sorry, Blain. I'm from New Jersey and sarcasm is in our DNA. I thought you were coming at me with guns blazing when I was defending our faith from someone I believe was trolling. I'm truly sorry for misunderstanding you and giving you a dose of New Jersey etiquette. God bless you, my Friend. 
I don't believe in calling people trolls. It is disrespectful and not loving. Christians are supposed to be better. These people are human beings. Even the most evil person can repent and accept Jesus Christ. We must always be a shining light and example to others in how we treat folks even if we disagree with them strongly. Yes, I believe the Trinity. It's what the Bible teaches. If a person denies that teaching, they are denying the God of the Bible. But again, I am still commanded to love all people; This would include Ant-Trinitarians, Hell deniers, and folks who do not think we should acccept Jesus Christ.

The message was metaphorical. I view Christianity (that is, false Christianity) as a bustling, jam-packed cafe where many sit down to eat at different denominational 'tables'; eating from different doctrinal 'dishes'. All the dishes served in that cafe are utterly rancid and putrid. There may be a little spoonful of truth here and there but the dishes are altogether mixed with falsity - poison and toxicity. This is what the 'diners' (church-goers; professing Christians) are 'eating' (believing). The diners fare on this false food, thinking it to be real, nutritious spiritual food...thinking that they are eating the true bread from heaven (John 6:58-68). But what they do not realise is that they're devouring deception and ignorance. What is ignorance? Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. God says that 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge' (Hosea 4:6).
Who feeds the diners their food? The pastors, reverends, vicars, elders, teachers etc... but these teachers are themselves deceived. They're chefs in the cafe of Christianity, serving up deception and ignorance to their diners. And they are shepherds, but they're definitely not good shepherds. Where is that they are shepherding their sheep to? Destruction. And they themselves are heading for destruction:
'...they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit' (Matthew 15:13-14)
You are all heading for destruction if you do not repent! (Turn away from your sins; and turn away from Babylon the Great). Infact, that destruction and perishing is now evident, but you cannot discern it. That destruction and perishing is evident in your sufferings: the illnesses you have, your poor finances, your unharmonious relationships with your husband/wife/children. It's evident in the hardships, trouble and distress that you have in your life.
Only Christ is the true, good shepherd (John 10:11-14). Only He is the way, the truth and the life. Not men! So if you put your hope and trust in humans (which is what you are doing by believing in what your shepherds teach) and their false ideologies...be prepared to be severley shocked. Many will surely be shocked to discover that what they thought and believed was true, was infact false. And many will be sorely dissapointed in the men and women who they put their trust in for spiritual guidance and instruction... only to be let down. How ironic, the blind leading the blind!
The message was also literal, in the sense that I literally meant leave church! Leave the Babylonian whore (of which all man-made churches are a part of).
'Come out of her [Babylon the Great - the whore], my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.' (Revelation 18:4)
The majority, if not all of you, may misunderstand or not understand my message. But later you will understand, when your eyes have been opened. Then you will see that what I'm saying is true. Only God Himself can open your eyes. As of now you (those who think you are Christians) are blind, destitute, naked, severely malnourished ...and infact, dead.
But God will bring you all to life... at the appointed time. It may even be your time now.
I don't think I can post links on this forum, so PM me if you would like more information. If you desire what is true, PM me !

Hi MannyO, welcome.
I love truth, don't you? It seems so. I hear your message.
J. Wycliffe translated eclecia as "church" twice, and was reference to pagan temples. The other times it referred to assembly or congregation. Needless to say, the RCC had a cow! Nicolatian much? I guess so, they burned him at the stake..
Most Christians knoweth not from whence their modern versions cameth. What? Some 80% of modern translations are directly from kjv which is mostly Wycliffe, with a bit of tweeking of course. Even so, great men and women gave their lives for us to have a copy of the scriptures that were available to them, and we (most of us) trouble not to find the pearl of great price.
Nevertheless, truth will not be suppressed from one who seeks it, and so there will be no excuse, for even the heavens declare His glory and obey Him. I happen to think the Messiah will not be long in coming. No direct revelation here, just my belief.
