In Matthew 16:18, Jesus prophetically stated; “… I will build my church…” The many types and shadows of the Old Testament Tabernacle and Temple worship were pointing toward the New Testament period and the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ on this earth. After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Jesus showed Himself alive to many of His disciples for forty days. He left them with the promise of the Spirit returning to indwell them (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8). On the Jewish Feast day of Pentecost, 30 A.D., a group of one hundred and twenty faithful followers of Jesus were gathered in Jerusalem in an upper room. Suddenly they were overwhelmed with the promised Spirit. They began to speak with other languages as the Spirit gave them utterance. Thus the Church was born! As the Apostle Peter spoke to the gathered throng, 3,000 others were likewise added to the original group of one hundred twenty. Since this beginning in Jerusalem, the Church spread as the apostles carried the Gospel forth into the world. At the death of the apostles and the conclusion of their writings, which we recognize as New Testament Epistles, those whom they had ordained continued their message with signs following. During the intervening centuries, the true Church of Jesus Christ has known much tribulation and persecution at the hand of those who oppose her message. Yet in every century the Lord has had a witness and the Church has had a voice. At the beginning of the twentieth century, God chose the United States to pour out the Latter Rain of His Spirit. Revival fires began to spread as people began to seek a deeper experience with God. Soon thousands were filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ here in the United States. Then, Missionaries were sent out into other countries carrying the Gospel. Thus America became a great bastion for Apostolic truth in the twentieth century. In every state the Apostolic Message spread and churches were founded. From these churches, groups began to form as churches and men of God united their efforts to do more for God. Through the efforts of these faithful witnesses the Commission of Jesus Christ to “…preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15), is being fulfilled. . The Bible is the direct and absolute Word of God (II Timothy 3:16), given to us by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost as it moved upon the tongues and pens of men who had received the special anointing of God for this express purpose: (II Peter 1:21). “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” ’The Bible is Gods means of doctrine, instruction, and comfort to the Church today, infallible in its authority, singular in interpretation, and man’s only avenue of access to God.You can say this all day long but when it is used as subterfuge by those who promote it and then commit evil acts we need to supercede it in goodness and root out the problems.
The One True GodThere is One ever-living, eternal God; infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purpose, and possessing absolute, indivisible Deity. This one true God has revealed Himself as Father in creation, through the Son in redemption, and as the Holy Ghost by emanation (I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; II Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28). The Scripture does more than attempt to prove the existence of God; it asserts, assumes and declares that the knowledge of God is universal (Romans 1:19, 21, 28, 32; 2:15). God is invisible, incorporeal, without parts, without body and therefore free from all limitations. He is Spirit (John 4:24), and “a spirit hath not flesh and bones…” (Luke 24:39). The first of all commandments is, “Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD:” (Mark 12:29; Deuteronomy 6:4). “One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all:” (Ephesians 4:6). This one True God manifested Himself in the Old Testament in divers ways, in the Son while He walked among men; as the Holy Ghost after the ascension. The Son of GodThe one true God, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, took upon Himself the form of man, and as the Son of man, was born of the virgin Mary. As Paul says, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: 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” (I Timothy 3:16;John 1:10). “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” (John 1:11). This one true God was manifested in the flesh, that is, in His Son Jesus Christ. “… God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;…” (II Corinthians 5:19). In Him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians 2:9).
I have dictated the distinction between the son of God and the son of man into my Olympus voice recorder but have not had a chance to transcribe it. (Would Abraham Lincoln have been assassinated if he sent all the letters he wrote? I wonder. The Name“… unto us a child is born, unto us a son in given:… and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). This prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled when the Son of God was named, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: For he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). We are never told how! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
No human being should just believe for this is the nature and means by which they can be controlled, used and abused. It would not seem to be the word of the Lord Jesus Christ that we are not to act questions? Inquiry is the nature of learning! And we do not learn in faith we learn by listening and shedding our ego which causes us to want to believe we know everything already. We were taught to believe that what priests told us in catholic school was divinely inspired. We know that they are just human beings and subject to evil. Jesus did indeed know and could see when Satan entered a human being. He never said, Satan will never enter the future leaders of my church. Man and His FallGod created man in His own image (Genesis 1:26,27), innocent, pure and holy (Romans 5:11, Ephesians 2:3). Man needed a redeemer which has been supplied in the seed of the woman, which seed bruised the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15; Luke 2:10,11); that is, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 1:5).
This bothers me tremendously. On the Oprah show I was saw a man who molested a woman tell how he then saw her wholes lifes story. What exactly do you think that second sentence in the preceeding paragraph means? “ A redeemer! Supplied! Bruised the serpents head. That all read like molesting of males and the sacrifice of their souls!
When he said that wine was his blood? What did he really mean? I think this needs to be taken in more of respect of the head of a farm putting his blood sweat and tears and muscle and sweat into providing a meal for his farm hands. It is like saying at dinner to you children I worked hard to give you this meal.
Jesus said he could see when Satan entered a man and he meant it. This was not fiction in the Bible. The Grace of God“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.” (Titus 2:11,12) “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17). A Christian, to keep saved, must walk with God and keep himself in the love of God (Jude 21), and in the grace of God. The word “grace” means “favor.” When a person transgresses and sins against God, he loses favor. If he continues to sin and does not repent, he will eventually be lost and cast into the lake of fire. (Read John 15:1,6; II Peter 2:20-22) Jude speaks of the backsliders of his day and their reward. (Read Hebrews 6:4-6) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” (Ephesians 2:8). Without lust would any of us be conceived? It is not like blank of all human emotion we walk into the stable and mate with a being of utility? I believe in lust, but just for a little while and not to the point where fixations develop.Not of yourselves: this contradicts that we reap what we sow, and the story of the prodigal son. It also contradicts that Jesus said we should repent.The CommunionMelchizedek, the priest of the Most High God, gave the first communion, consisting of bread and wine (Genesis 14:18), to our father Abraham. Christ, being “made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” Evidently administered the same (Hebrews 7:21; Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 11:23-32). On the night of our Lord’s betrayal, He ate the Passover supper with His apostles, after which He instituted the Communion service. “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:19, 20).
Paul instructed the Church how to observe it (I Corinthians 11:23, 24,25). This just sounds like a father creating a serious moment before dinner so that all the children will be quiet and respectful of the meal he provided. The antichrist are those who betrayed Christ! That is just how the sentence is to be understood. How can we trust the writings of those who betrayed Jesus? What faith did they have other than in the money they received.
The Washing of FeetThis ordinance is as much a divine command as any other New Testament ordinance. Jesus gave us an example that we do even as He had done. He said that we ought to wash one another’s feet. And again, “If ye know these things, happy are ye if you do them” (John 13:4-17). There is scriptural evidence that this was practiced by the church in the days of the apostle Paul (I Timothy 5:10). Divine HealingThe physical suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ purchased healing for our bodies, as His death, burial and resurrection provided for the salvation of our souls, for “… with his stripes we are healed,” (Isaiah 53:5). Matthew 8:17 reads, “… Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” (See also I Peter 2:24)
This again sounds like the words that condone sacrifice. Know this that those of the occult do not do so for no reason, they get results- and we do know from the Bible that they are also punished Soddom and Ghmnorra. What did God tell us? What you reap you will sow! If you sow through fire it is the fire of the lake you will reap for all eternity. ( You might like my book that should be coming out)
I really only trust the word of Jesus Christ that rings true as good to me!
And I do wonder if those who profess divine healing are not torturing others in a hidden spot. That seems to be the nature of the Hebrew religion as mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
I believe that as soon as someone catches on to the evils of one religion they form a new one of their own and they all spawned from the Hebrew religion. Catholicism appears to be sacrifice. The Luthern religion has no sound basis as they are not taught to repent like Jesus said, I could go on an on.
We see from this that healing for the body is in the atonement. That being true, then it is for all who believe. Jesus said of the believer, “… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Later James wrote in his epistle to all the church, “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:14-16).
Repentance and Remission of SinThe only grounds upon which God will accept a sinner is repentance from the heart for his sins that he has committed. A broken and contrite heart He will not despise (Psalm 51:17). John preached repentance, Jesus proclaimed it, and before His ascension commanded that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name, beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24:47). Peter fulfilled this command on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38).
Repent implies action and this directly contradicts the belief of the Luthern religion- a large faction in the US.
Religion does serve to bring people together in the community, but unfortunately some are prayed on as lambs for the others. Jesus lamb of God! Lambs were sacrificed. Water BaptismThe scriptural mode of baptism is immersion, and is only for those who have fully repented, having turned from their sins and a love of the world. It should be administered in obedience to the Word of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, according to the Acts of the Apostles; 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5, thus obeying and fulfilling Matthew 28:19. Holy Spirit BaptismJohn the Baptist, in Matthew 3:11, said “… He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.” Jesus, in Acts 1:5, said, “… ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” Luke tells us in Acts 2:4, “… and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, (languages) as the Spirit gave them utterance.” The terms “baptized with the Holy Ghost,” “filled with the Holy Ghost,” and the “gift of the Holy Ghost,” are synonymous terms which are interchangeable in the Bible.
Other tongues? Whose? Jesus only spoke in one tongue! So who was tortured nearby so they could speak with their foreign tongues- were they foreigners traveling to that land? This is a horror! It seems to fit right foreign tongues foreigners being sacrificed? Apostolic Doctrine of the New BirthThe basic and fundamental doctrine of this Organization shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (Acts 2:4,38; John 3:5).
One needs to watch out for satan. He rules by impulse and lead by impulse and creating impulse in others. Jesus did indeed say that Satan could enter one. So when we are speaking in tongues how can we know that it is not Satans tongue we are speaking with? Better to think before speaking, right? Satan can’t stand all that thinking though! Holiness Godly living should characterize the life and walk of all saints according to the sign and example found in I Peter 2:21; Titus 2:11; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:15-17. e believe we are to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (II Corinthians 7:1), to abstain from all appearance of evil (I Thessalonians 5:22), and to turn away from those who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof (II Timothy 3:5; I Corinthians 11:6; I Timothy 2:9,10; I Peter 2:3,4).
Okay right of the bat what are they admitting there? The prevelance of living Gods? If Satan can read men’s minds and therefore has none of its own, isn’t it just a matter of time before he just believes in what is not true? I do believe in living Gods, and have seen miracles with my own eyes. I think it has to do with the will of the God of Creation ensuring the continued instance of life though.
he Apostle Peter gives instruction to wives about their behavior and their appearance, “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they be-hold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (I Peter 3:1-4).
Here God is telling women to keep in their place, in circumspect terms. Why because they have become more than he can handle and it is preventing him from providing for them. (Good symbolism for our modern day problems, think (Jane Coutier)
The Word of God teaches a distinction between the dress of a woman and a man: “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garments: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” (Deuter-onomy 22:5) The word “abomination” used by God in this verse indicates that this rule will not change through all generations. Christian men are not to wear women’s clothing, and Christian women are not to wear men’s clothing.
Here god is saying my wife should not use sex as a reward mechanism. But I do believe women can wear pants to protect themselves from nettles and stuff. A man should want his woman to be well.
Modesty is not confined to dress alone but also includes conversation and manners. Philippians 4:5 teaches us, “Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.” Holiness is not only an inward presence of God but it is also reflected in the outward life of the Christian in his conduct in this world (good sentence). Here it is saying no homosexuals. I could go into detail about why God hates this but I have already written of it.
Tithing Tithing is God’s financial plan to provide for His work, and has been since the days of Abraham. Tithing came with faith under Abraham, Moses’ law enjoined it, Israel practiced it when she was right with God, Jesus endorsed it (Matthew 23:23), and Paul said to lay by in store as God has prospered you. Do not rob God of His portion, that is tithes and offerings (Read Malachi 3). Last sentence confirms who living Gods are! Secret SocietiesThe people of God shall have no connection whatsoever with religious oriented secret societies or any other organization (labor unions excluded) wherein bound by an oath to unbelievers.
Skull and Bones, Free Masons, all are then antigod and this is God and Country. Doesn’t say much for us and our leaders. The Return of the Lord Jesus ChristThat the Lord Jesus Christ is to come to earth in person is a doctrine clearly set forth in Apostolic times. James taught it; the Apostles preached it; the saints expect it; (See Matthew 24:1, etc.; Acts 1:11; 3:19-21; I Corinthians 1:7,8; 11:26; Philippians 3:20,21; Titus 2:13).
Is this really condoning that people look for a sacrifice? Someone new to call our lamb of God Jesus Chirst? Did Jesus say he would come again? He said that someone stronger than him would come. Translation of Saints The catching away of the church draweth nigh, and at that time all the dead in Christ shall rise from their graves, and we that are alive and remain shall be translated or “caught up” to meet the Lord in the air (Matthew 24:36-42; Luke 17:20-37; I Corinthians 15:51; Philippians 3:20,21; I Thessalonians 4:13-17). Whereas, the Word of God teaches the imminent second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that there will be first an appearing or catching away of the Church (I Thessalonians 4:13) preceding His second coming back to earth; and said first appearance we believe to be at hand and likely to occur at any moment.
Read about the paracleat and the apocolypse Tribulation Distress upon the earth is the “beginning of sorrows” and will become more intense until there “shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time,” (Matthew 24:21; Daniel 12:1; Romans 11:25-27).
The earth is just as much susceptible to being out of balance as three legged frogs are, this is coming. MillenniumThe period of “Tribulation” will be followed by the dawn of a better day on earth, and that for one thousand years there shall be “peace on earth and good will toward men,” (Revelation 20:1-5; Isaiah 65:17-25; Matthew 5:5; Daniel 7:27; Micah 4:1; Habakkuk 2:14; Romans 11:25-27).
If after that, if the resources do not run out polluted… we must be proactive. Final JudgementWhen the thousand years are finished, there shall be a resurrection of the dead who shall be summoned before the Great White Throne for their final judgment, and all whose names are not found written in the Book of Life shall be cast into the lake of fire, burning with the brimstone, which God has prepared for the devil and his angels (Revelation 20:5-15; Matthew 24:41-46; Revelation 21:8). Civil GovernmentAll civil magistrates are ordained of God for peace, safety, and the welfare of all people (Romans 13:1-10; Titus 3:1,2; I Peter 2:13,14); therefore, it is our duty to be in obedience to all requirements of the law that are not contrary to the Word of God and that do not force one to the violation of the sixth commandment by bearing arms. It is our duty to honor without murmuring (Matthew 17:24-27; 22:17-21) and show respect to them in all lawful requirements of the civil government. |
