Have nothing to do with Godless Myths If there is only one God, why are there so many different Christian churches today? Why do we have to choose from Amish, Anabaptist, Anglican, Baptist, Branch Davidian, Calvinist, Catholic, Charismatic, Christian Science, Ebenezer, Lutheran, Methodist, Mormon, Seventh-Day Adventist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Unitarian, Zionist and so many others? How many versions of Christianity do we need? Is there something they all have in common? Most of their members are Trinitarians who worship Lord Nameless, a three-headed god just like the triune gods pagans worshiped long ago. 
Lord Nameless To the Trinitarians, Jesus Christ is "God the Son". To the Unitarians, he is "the Son of God". At least the Unitarians are a little less pagan than the rest. What does the Bible warn about that? "Do not worship the LORD your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods." (Deuteronomy 12:4) (NLT) "Instead, they mingled among the pagans and adopted their... customs." (Psalm 106:35) (NLT) What else do these members of this "Christendom" believe? They learn these worthless things from their church ministers: "God’s name is "Nobody". "The cross is holy". "Christmas and Easter are holy days for all Christians". "Halloween is harmless fun". "Everybody in our group who dies goes to Heaven. "Everybody else goes to Hell". "Once we are saved, we are always saved!" "Jesus is my good buddy. He loves me no matter what!" "Jesus is God." "God loves everybody no matter what they do!"
These beliefs are all false. Why do the ministers of Christendom teach these false beliefs? 3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
(2Timothy 4:3-4) (New International Version) How do we know these beliefs are myths? Is God’s name "Nobody"? 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. (Exodus 6:3) (King James Version) Is the cross holy? 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below."
(Exodus 20:4) (NIV) Are Christmas and Easter holy days for all Christians? "Christmas and Easter - These spurious, counterfeit holydays represent a COMPROMISE with paganism, an attempt on the part of the church to convert the heathen by meeting them halfway. But the Scriptures clearly teach that there must be NO Compromise with the evil one on any point. Paul gives the warning: "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron." 1 Timothy 4:1, 2." -HEATHEN CUSTOMS In the Christian Church; By Murl VanceBut Christmas is "Jesus’ birthday". Why can’t we celebrate that?
"The Jews and early christians - regarded birthday celebrations as part of idolatrous worship." -M'Clintock & Strong's Cyclopedia (Vol. I, p. 817) "The earliest Christians simply were NOT interested in celebrating the Nativity. They 'viewed birthday celebrations as heathen'. The third-century church father - Origen had declared it a sin to even think of keeping Christ's birthday 'as though he were a king pharoah'." - December 23,1996 issue of US News & World Report What’s wrong with Easter? "It is interesting that the holiest day of the liturgical Christian year, Easter Sunday, bears the name of the pagan sex goddess Eastre and the pagan sun god Solis." -Panati, Charles. Sacred Origins of Profound Things. New York: Penguin Books USA Inc., 1996. A Sex goddess? What does Jehovah think about her? 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:3) (KJV) But Halloween is not a religious holiday! "Originally a pagan festival of the dead , All Saints’ Day was established by the Catholic Church in the 9th century to honor Christian saints."From: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761572079/Halloween.html "Well, we all do go to Heaven when we die, don’t we?" 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. (John 3:13-15) (NIV) Where are the dead now?
28 Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son, 29 and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to judgment. (John 5:28-29) (NLT) And where will they reside? "The righteous shall inherit the earth, And they shall live forever upon it."
(Psalm 37:29) (KJV) These are only a sample of the misinformation the churches promote. Because of the clueless clergy of Christendom, the nominal Christians of the world believe worthless lies such as: "But I know that once we are saved, we are always saved! Jesus is my good buddy. He loves me no matter what! God loves everybody no matter what they do!" Is that so? "On that day of judgment," says the LORD, "I will punish the leaders... and all those following pagan customs." (Zephaniah 1:8) (New Living Translation) 46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46) (NIV) 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' (Matthew 7:22-23) (NIV) What would be the wise thing to do now? 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.
(1Timothy 4:7) (NIV) Why? "...It's important to look at things from God's point of view..." (1Corinthians 4:6) (Message Bible) And what is God’s viewpoint? 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
(1Corinthians 10:21-22) (NIV) 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. (Ephesians 5:11) (NIV) "Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil ? ...Therefore, come out from them and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch their filthy things..."
(2Corinthians 6:14-17) (New Living Translation) People can believe what they want, but in the end, the truth is what matters, not the false beliefs people prefer to cling to. The very people who proclaim "Jesus loves you and forgives you" are the very ones about to be destroyed for their error. It will be a shock to them when it happens but the Bible has many warnings in it for those who want to really know: 9 I, the LORD, will show no mercy or pity when that time comes. In my anger I will destroy the earth and every sinner who lives on it. (Isaiah 13:9) (Contemporary English Version) "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."
(Acts 17:30,31) (NIV) Now is a good time to repent before it is too late. Is there a people who know these things and "practice what they preach"? 10 Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God. (Isaiah 43:10-12) (American Standard Version) |
