ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY'S WAR AGAINST THE BIBLE AND JESUS CHRIST
Today there is much that is called Christianity throughout the world, but most of it rejects the actual teachings of the Bible and also rejects the divinity of Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator,
MY CASE AGAINST ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY:
ISSUES:
- TRANSLATIONS
THE KJV is the translation of the Bible was done by 47 scholars who were commissioned by the King of England. It is an objective straight forward accurate translation. But most translations today are corrupt and have mistranslated many of the scriptures of the Bible. For example the NIV and other translations have changed John 3:16 from God gave 'HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON' to 'GOD GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON'. To remove Jesus was God's 'only begotten son' is to remove His virgin birth and divinity. Also, 1 Timothy 3:16 in KJV says that Jesus was 'God manifest in the flesh'. The NIV and other translations delete that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh. Daniel 3:16 says that 'THE 4TH MAN WAS LIKE THE SON OF GOD'. The NIV and other translations say that that the 4th man was like 'A SON OF THE GODS'. Again this removes Christ's divinity and is pagan. Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THIS PROPHECY, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

SEMINARIES AND BIBLE SCHOOLS
Most seminaries and Bible schools use their time re-explaining the
Bible and saying that much of the scriptures were not translated right.
They then give their spin of what they think the Bible really means.
Whatever seminary one attends Presbyterian, Episcopal, Catholic,
Baptist, Assembly of God, etc., gives their own interpretation of the
scriptures, telling us which part is accurate and which isn't. This
produces great unbelief in the Bible for their preachers and destroys
faith in the Bible. Many use the Greek to justify their interpretation of
the scriptures and say that the scriptures don't really mean what they
actually say.
Most Christian schools teach evolution which is founded on atheism
and is totally opposite the teaching of creation in Genesis. Why?
-
TEACH THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and
the world knew him not.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
1 Timothy 3:16 God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up into glory.
To say Jesus is not God is to say the same thing that the Muslims say.
-
JESUS GAVE UP HIS DIVINITY WHEN HE WALKED THE EARTH AND JUST WALKED HERE AS A MERE MORTAL MAN.
There is nothing in the scriptures that even infers this.
1 Timothy 3:16 Tells us that Jesus was.. GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE
FLESH,
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and THE WORD WAS WITH
GOD, and THE WORD WAS GOD. The same was in the beginning with
God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made.
John 1:14 And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
-
DENY CHRIST'S VIRGIN BIRTH
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Luke 1:27-35 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph,
of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel
came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the
Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." "Then said Mary
unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the
angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon
thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore
also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son
of God.
-
TEACH THAT JESUS IS NOT MESSIAH OF ALL RACES
John 1:11 He came unto his own (Jews), and his own received him not.
John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him,
We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
John 4:25-26 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus
saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Messiah means 'The Christ'
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to THE JEW
FIRST, and also to the Greek.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.
-
INTERFAITH
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Judges 2:2 Make no league with the inhabitants of the land; ye shall throw down their altars Joshua 22:19 Built an altar (to Baal) beside the altar of the Lord
-
CHRISTIAN COLLEGES MIX THE GOSPEL WITH GODLESS PSYCHOLOGY AND HUMANISM
Psalms 106:35 They mingled among the heathen and learned their works.
-
TEACH THAT THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO HEAVEN
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
-
TEACH THAT JESUS DEATH ON THE CROSS DOES NOT SAVE US
1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the
scriptures;
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body
BY THE CROSS, having slain the enmity thereby:
Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and
now tell you even weeping, that they are THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS
OF CHRIST
-
TEACH THAT THE BLOOD DOES NOT ATONE
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in THE BLOOD: and I have
given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for
it is the blood that maketh AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood;
and WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD IS NO REMISSION.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, we
shall be saved from wrath through him.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD,
the forgiveness of sins,
-
TEACH THAT JESUS SPENT 3 DAYS IN HELL TO ATONE FOR OUR SINS
That is impossible! When Jesus died on the cross He told the thief…
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, TO DAY
shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Jesus can't be in hell and in paradise at the same time.
-
SATAN CONQUERED JESUS AND DRUG HIM TO HELL FOR 3 DAYS.
Not true. Jesus always conquered Satan.
Luke 4:8 "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him
only shalt thou serve."
Luke 4:12-13 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the
temptation, he departed from him for a season.
It's impossible for Satan to drag Jesus to hell. Hell doesn’t belong to
him but God. It is the place of his eternal torment. Satan doesn’t want
to come close to hell.
-
JESUS WAS DEMON POSSESSED ON THE CROSS
That is impossible! He is God. He said, "Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord,
I change not" Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever.
-
TRINITY
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let US make man in our image, after our
likeness:
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, THE FATHER,
THE WORD (JESUS), AND THE HOLY GHOST: and THESE THREE ARE ONE.
-
TEACH REGARDING GOD'S GRACE.
The teaching that basically says that one can accept Christ
and continuing living in sin and still go to heaven. This is not true!
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, TURNING THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 6:1-2 what shall we say then? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Galatians 2:21 I DO NOT FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD: Romans 1:29-32 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
-
TEACH REGARDING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH
Matthew 19:16-19 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, WHAT GOOD THING SHALL I DO, THAT I MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. (Jesus quoted the 10 Commandments to him as essential to salvation) John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
-
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT WHAT YOU DO OR DON'T DO
1 John 3:7 "Little children, let no man deceive you: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, even as he is righteous." 1 John 3:10 "In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, neither he that loveth not his brother."
-
WE ARE NOT TO HAVE A SIN CONSCIOUSNESS. That is not true!
Psalms 119:11 "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee" 1 Timothy 4:2 "Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Without a conscious a person is capable of anything."
-
REGARDING TEACHING THIEVERY
Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. Romans 2:21 "thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?"
-
REGARDING TEACHING ON HELL
Romans 12:17 "Provide things honest in the sight of all men." Peter 2:12 "Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles:"
-
REGARDING TEACHING ON HEAVEN
John 13:1-"Let not your heart be troubled. ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. And I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself: that where I am, there ye may be also."
-
REGARDING ABORTION
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. Psalms 139:13-14 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
-
TEACH THAT ONE CAN PRACTICE HOMOSEXUALITY AND BE SAVED AND GO TO HEAVEN
Romans 1:26-29 For this cause GOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS: FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE INTO THAT WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE: AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, 2 Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
-
TEACH REGARDING ETERNAL SECURITY. THE BELIEF THAT ONCE ONE ACCEPTS CHRIST HE CAN NEVER LOSE HIS SOUL.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Psalms 119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: 1 Timothy 4:1 This is the unscriptural LOVE GOSPEL that you can live anyway you want in sin and that God will accept you.
-
TEACH REGARDING PREDESTINATION. That God has predetermined who will go to heaven or hell.
John 3:15 That WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have eternal life. We are not predestined to be saved automatically. It depends on if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and continue to follow Him and His Word.
-
TEACH REGARDING ALL SOVEREIGNTY. Everything that happens in your life is pre-planned by God.
Deut 28 "If you keep his commandments all these blessings will come on you." "If you don’t keep his commandments all these curses will come
on you."
John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth
on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten
Son of God.
Salvation is conditional on whether you believe on Christ. So are the
other promises of God. If everything is the all sovereignty of God, why
go to school, go to work or try to do anything.
-
TEACH REGARDING THE ANOINTING.
Many preachers claim to be 'the anointed one'. The Anointed One means 'the Christ', 'the messiah'.
The anointing of the Holy Ghost works with those who are filled with the Spirit and walking in truth, but we are not 'the anointed one'.
-
THE PERVERSION OF THE KINGDOM.
The teaching that God wants
everyone to be rich and that the main thing is to have abundance in
THIS LIFE, not heaven.
John 18:36 My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this
world, 1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction
and perdition.
-
THE PRACTICE OF USING PRAYER BEEDS
No place in the Bible does it teach us to use prayer beads. This is a
practice of pagan religions.
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the
heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking.
-
TEACH REGARDING PURGATORY that there is a place besides heaven or hell after death
1 Peter 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
The church is not our savior, only Jesus Christ is.
-
THE BELIEF IN PURGATORY
a place one can go to. Not heaven or
hell. There is no place in the scriptures that talks about purgatory. There is
only heaven or hell.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment:
-
TEACH THAT THERE IS A POPE, KING OR BISHOP IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH
Colossians 1:18 And HE (CHRIST) IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE
CHURCH:
Ephesians 5:23 CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH:
-
TEACH THAT GIVING MONEY IS THE DOOR TO GETTING A MIRACLE, HEALING, ETC.
1 Peter 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Jesus never asked people to give Him an offering before He healed
them. It was the gift of God.
-
FAITH IS WHERE MIRACLES COMES FROM
They teach 'have faith in your faith' or 'have the God kind of faith' Than is not what the Bible says. Mk 11:22 says "Have faith in God". The miracle doesn't come from just having faith, it is HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
-
TEACH REGARDING HEALING
Many don't believe that healing is for today.
Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
-
TEACH THAT SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NOT FOR TODAY
1 Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and
FORBID NOT TO SPEAK WITH TONGUES.
Acts 2:38-39 And ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and TO ALL that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
-
THOSE WHO FAKE SPEAKING AND TONGUES AND THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew very elect.
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
will not believe.
2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of
Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
-
TEACH THAT THERE IS NO HEAVEN. THE BELIEF THAT LIFE IS TERMINATED AT DEATH OR IN REINCARNATION.
John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
-
NO HELL
Luke 16:20-31 "and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was
laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs
which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked
his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was
buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said,
Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip
the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in
this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he
is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us
and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from
hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from
thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may
testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them
hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto
them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear
not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one
rose from the dead."
-
NO RAPTURE
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
-
TEACH THAT MAN IS A GOD.
Isaiah 43:10 there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
The teaching that 'man is a god' comes from the pagan religions:
Caesar, Nebuchadnezzar, the Greeks, etc.
-
TEACH REGARDING APOSTLES/PROPHETS
Today many claim to be apostles or prophets. They literally put
themselves in a position of replacing Christ.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
-
MISSIONS has been taken over by humanitarian causes. Hardly
anything today in missions has anything to do with winning the lost.
The Bible tells us what true missions is:
Mark 16:15-16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Missions is about winning the lost and making disciples to follow Christ's
teachings.
-
TEACHING THAT THERE ARE NO DEVIL OR DEMONS. Things have been reduced to people just
having psychological problems.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils;
-
Idolatry
Exodus 20:4-5 thou SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE ..Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 1 Corinthians 10:14 FLEE FROM IDOLATRY. Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and IDOLATERS, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Even if the statue is of Jesus, Mary or some other Christian, this is forbidden. Idolatry means what it says, graven images.
TO DISAGREE WITH THE BIBLE IS TO DECLARE WAR AGAINST THE BIBLE,
GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.
