The doctrine of the manachi is a doctrine that was one bountiful but very heretic un fact is heresy but it has used various text found today in some christian religion , what I would like to see is the peoples input, of a study to point a few concerning this subject.. .. on your marks get ready and Go !!!!!
 
Well this is one of the gnostic religions they used to teach from the gnostic gospels including the book of enoch the three of them ,today we see a danger of this type of distorted doctrine a complete straying of the faith if one doesnt adhere to sound doctrine and not to every strain of radical idea but as written in the cannon servi.g Jesus is an adherance to holiness in the righteousness of the spirit not the flesh , like the mormons straying to every false writting said by revelation of an angel but the bible says acursed be anyone coming with a diffferent gospel other than the one brought by the apostles of jesus wether it be themselves or even an angel no exception.sound doctrine is the way not our own precepts but God's holy Word for like the father Son and the Holy Spirit agree so should we , we are with God or we are alone . I can say I am with God..
 
The fundamental dualistic view that underpins Manichaean thought was incorporated into Christian orthodoxy by Augustine of Hippo in the Fourth Century.

This incorporation led to the notion that Scriptures like Romans 7 are teaching that the flesh body itself necessitates sinning. A british monk by the name of Pelagius was very concerned about this doctrine because it denied the fundamental premise that man can obey God.

Augustine was teaching the concept known as fatalism in which a sinner sinned due to being in a flesh body. Under this view the fundamental nature of man was recognised as becoming corrupted due to the sin of Adam wherefore all sinners sinned by reason of a corrupted nature as opposed to the free exercise of the will (wherefore a sinner corrupted themselves).

Augustine was eventually able to get Pelagius declared as a heretic and the notion that repentance
proven by deeds" as being a requirement for the forgiveness of sins was laid to rest.

Under this notion of the flesh itself being sinful (as opposed to being merely a source of temptation) the Catholic Church was able to continue to invent a sacramental system which in effect imparted (albeit in an abstract sense) righteousness to the sinner. This a sinner was not made right with God through their heart being cleansed of corruption resulting in true purity and a cleansing of the guilt associated with their past rebellion, rather the sinner was seen to be made right with God by being connected to a "Church System" and all the associated sacraments.

The Protestant Reformation rejected the sacramental system as being the means of the impartation of righteousness and instead taught an imputed righteousness within the context of the obedient track record of Jesus being credited to the believer.

Both systems are part of the same whore religion for both systems deny heart purity in salvation. A clean heart does not rebel against God and the requirement of God is a broken heart and a contrite spirit.

Salvation involves literally being set free from being enslaved to sin as well as the cleansing of a guilty conscience. There is no amount of "works" one can do to cleanse the conscience hence the Bible teaching that we approach God through the blood of Christ (where we identify ourselves with the New Man having put to death the Old Man).

The blood of Jesus is a cleanser for sin not a cloak for ongoing rebellion. The whore system treats the blood of Jesus as a cloak for the ongoing corruption of being trapped in "sinful flesh." Hence it is taught that you CAN sin and not surely die just not in those exact words.

It is those who "do" the will of God that are accepted and those who "do not" who are rejected.




Questions to ask oneself.

1. Do you treat the "work of Jesus Christ" as effecting a "cloak" for ongoing unrighteousness?

2. Can a believer submit themselves to the lusts of the flesh and knowingly commit evil and remain reconciled to God?
 
The notion of "sin you will and sin you must exposed."
