The Emperor Has No Clothes: top talking points and characteristics of the apostate church
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
(Titus 1:16)
- --> Pushing of postmodernist, defiled bibles inspired by Critical Theory as derived from the textual criticism movement and the critical text
- No, Codex A, B, or C cannot be trusted and are not the oldest, not the best, and are not even consistent between each other. 3 is not greater than 5000+; but disregard all of that:
- why are they criticizing the Holy Bible?
- --> They keep insisting you must use a printed bible
- This is one of their many beguiling tricks; don't fall for it.
- --> Every now and then, they just have to mention or allude to the existence of some "minor" prophets; they just can't resist
- There is no such thing as a minor prophet. This is yet another conjuring trick to try and downgrade God and his Word and throw poison at it.
- --> Emphasis on church membership, and that you must become a member. They - intentionally - do not define correctly what the church is
- Really? Is the church more than one thing? Did Christ tell us what the church is? Are church buildings the church? Which type of people did Christ reprimand the most? Is God a "jealous" God?
- Wait. Of course! if they wanted to keep track of the number of souls they were ripping the crowns off of for their father satan, that would be a good way to do it. Notwithstanding, it's all a big, lustful, competitive endeavor for them.
- They may say it is optional but don't be fooled. Essentially what they are doing is making an image on earth of something that is in heaven and earth: the head and body of Christ!
- Is that any different than the Pope declaring himself the "Vicar of Christ"? Which church should we be a member of out of the 5000+ Christian denominations that are all asking for membership? Can you see how this can be seen as a tool to facilitate their covetousness and licentiousness?
- Reflect on these things deeply and understand what is being conveyed here; the point is not to say Christians should not congregate and have faithful Pastors. A corrupt tree brings forth evil fuit: Know them by their fruits!
- --> Their Pastors refer to themselves as your shepherds, and the flock as being their flock
- Just look at their foundational and membership statements, and ask some of their "church members" to see how that is the case. There is only one Shepherd and the flock has always been referred to as His flock concerning them. They should only be ministering His Word faithfully, and can't even do that for their covetousness. Reprobate and disobedient they are in deed.
- --> Emphasis on baptism and that you must, or should, be baptized in a church building congregation
- Christ already has you covered on that one as he will baptize us with His holy spirit for the remission of our sins and cleansing of our souls. Again, this is one of the methods they use to "baptize" you into their apostate system and take your crown.
- --> Emphasis on giving 10% to your "local church"
- What happens when those churches are blasphemous, heretical, and apostate? How about giving 100% of the word of God to the needy, verse by verse, with the proper urgency and without diluting, corrupting, and poisoning His message with their ideas?
- --> Reminders that you need to go to church so you can understand God's word
- Does this require any analysis for the true church of God?
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
(Jude 11)
