Open Letter To Pastors: And To Churches Not Feeding His Flock
Spanish - EspañolTake heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
(Acts 20:28)
And he said unto him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
(Genesis 33:13)
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
(2 Cor 13:5)
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
(John 10:8)
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
(John 10:16)
Firstly, we would like to thank you for the personal growth and revelation that has resulted from engaging with and learning about your church operations, as there is ultimately reason for rejoicing. Unfortunately, it is with great heartbrokenness and vexation of spirit that we must inform you that we can no longer partake or have fellowship with your churches due to some exceedingly serious, irreconcilable concerns. We are convinced you should agree with this conclusion once you receive and understand the elucidations included herein, if this could be possible. Basically, we cannot remain silent on these issues after the light has shined on them. We will, however, plead Romans 14:13, Galatians 1:8, and 1 John 4:6. We make plea to you not with the word of man, but the Word of God; listen to, hear, and obey His words only. Moreover, we're solely determined on being God's advocate to every degree that this is possible. If you would continue to play the devil's advocate on these issues, so be it. But please come to the light so your deeds may be made known. (Psalms 11:3, Luke 11:33, John 3:19-21) Note we only use one source and sound doctrine. It is you that are extra-biblical with the use of other defiled bibles and the teachings and writings of men that produce the doctrines of devils. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4, 1 Timothy 4:1 & 4:6, 2 Timothy 3:1-7, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 1 John 2:4-6, Titus 1:7-9) You know (or should know) there is only one Good Shepherd and that there are few (if any) “shepherds” on earth that follow God's commandment to feed the sheep the sincere milk of the word. You also know that the flock is His flock and that it was always referred to as "the flock" concerning you. In other words, there is no “your flock” in this equation. Again, you know this (or maybe not; 2 Timothy 3:7-8), yet you mislead people to believe otherwise to their detriment, and yours. (Ezekiel 34:8-10, Zechariah 10:2-3, Matthew 15:13-14, Luke 6:39-49, Acts 20:28-29, John 10:5-16) If you would love God, you would have enough faith to believe that: if He is powerful enough to manifest his Son in the flesh, he is powerful enough to manifest his inerrant and immutable written word and true gospel in a book, which is a much lesser work. This being done and preserved in the tongue that is clearly dominant, common, and supreme among all nations—with all its excellency and majesty, once and for all. Otherwise, how would anyone be able to actually execute and obey his commands in the current cesspool of corrupted “bibles” (among which the ESV is chief) which unequivocally say different things? (Psalms 12:6-7, Proverbs 30:5-9, Romans 10:17, Galatians 3:22, Hebrews 11:1-3, Rev 3:3) Furthermore, you would read all the biblical references contained herein (from the Authorized Version of course) and obey His commands. Then you would repent and turn to his true gospel as your only foundation so that you may be His faithful followers. Albeit, ultimately you are prisoners of Christ—for, who are prisoners of Christ if not the more those that are involuntarily subject to His sovereign will? (Regardless of who holds them captive in this world) Yes, what was meant for evil is used for good—praise the Lord! You know born-again Christians are already members of the church of Christ the Lord our God, which is His holy body and temple (Colossians 1:18 & 1:24), and that his kingdom is within us; we are his temple. Yet you ask those that seek Him to become members of something else in this fleshly, evil realm in a blatant attempt to take their crown and to defile his temple (Galatians 1:4, 1 John 5:19, Rev 3:11). You know God is Spirit and Truth and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. But you persist. This because the scripture must be fulfilled and cannot be broken. (1 Corinthians 3:17 & 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16, John 17:12, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4) Finally, you should know the gospel is, above all, a command—His commands (Rev 14:6-7). Commands require no interpretation and hence the Holy Bible interprets itself. Thou shalt bow the knee to the “I AM” when He comes with all His glory, whether you be on the right side, or the left. (Romans 14:11, 1 Corinthians 4:5, Philippians 2:10) Concluding thoughts: Churches asking for membership (and it may be all of them) have "one hell of a sales pitch" to make, so that pitch better be true. Pun intended since "thou shalt not make unto thee any likeness of any thing that is in heaven" (Exodus 20:4), i.e. the head and body of Christ! Likeness = similitude = counterpart! Hence we are convinced and convicted that your worldly creations and counterparts are not true. What will be your confidence level on this when you are before Christ? (Jeremiah 6:3, Luke 19:43) Let's repeat it again in case you missed it: You should NOT make unto yourselves ANY likeness, similitude, or counterpart of ANY thing that is in heaven or anywhere else, as to give service to them in any fashion; because our God is a jealous God, as he should be, being the only True God. God is in heaven and everywhere as the Living God; and He is the head of the church, which is unique, and the only good shepherd or pastor of his flock. You should focus on what he commanded you to do: minister His Word faithfully. It all boils down to how small or how great your God is; how small or how great your pride and covetousness are; how small or how great the darkness that is in you is. Will you let the light of His true gospel shine on you? (2 Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 6:12, Rev 3:19-20) Some simple logic:
- What is the gospel and what is faith? Who is an unbeliever? Can one have faith without being faithful?
- What is blasphemy if not irreverence towards what God has magnified above all His name? (Psalms 138:2, Revelation 19:13)
- What is desolation if not being deprived of God's grace, salvation, and habitation from not receiving, hearing, and obeying His pure, undefiled words and commandments?
- What is an abomination if not the stem of Textual Criticism and its vines that have produced the detestable fruits that are all modern bible translations, and the churches using them as a foundation?
- What is a thief if not one that would rob God (if that were possible!) of His Word (even one word) and of his flock (even one sheep)? (John 10)
- What is heresy if not the nonconformity, dissent, and denial you perform (knowingly or unknowingly) behind the gates of your “churches” in the name of God?
- Can the blind lead the blind? Can one see the kingdom of God without being born again in the spirit? Do you church leaders proclaim that in fact you have been born again, and should you be? (John 10:1) By your fruits we will know you; and those fruits are quite revealing!
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
(Matthew 11:5)
As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
(Ezekiel 7:20-22)
Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
(Ezekiel 7:24-25)
