Let's discuss today's so-called church. Is today's church, is there even a semblance of the early primitive believers? Certainly, many of the teachings and doctrines of today's so-called Christian churches totally contradict the scriptures which has been repeatedly declared by believers as being the sole authoritative truthful Word of God. The Holy Spirit of God confirmed with signs and wonders the reliability of His Word which was spoken through the mouths of Jesus' chosen apostles. These are the same apostles whom He declared to be His witnesses to the uttermost ends of the earth.
The question put forward to believers is this. Is the Word of God coming to you, or conversely, is the Word of God coming out from you ? If the word of God has changed then that would declare that God has changed, for the Scriptures declare that the Word of God is forever settled in Heaven. The scriptures further point out that if any man or woman should alter the Word which the Lord spoke, then he or she is accursed according to the Word of God. There is a reason why the scriptures declare that Jesus the Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. It is because God does not change. The Word of God was the Word of God in the past. The Word of God is the same in the present and will continue to be the Word of God in the future. And if this is so as the Biblical scriptures state, then we ought to receive it as so.
However, unfortunately, we are not fighting with flesh and blood. The problem is that we are fighting with spirit beings whose motivation is to win our soul. This explains why the warfare is constantly raging -- religious warfare and political warfare -- all at war one with the other -- as to who is right and who is wrong. In short, who programmed you? For when you were born, you were born with a blank slate into a beautiful world. In fact this world is the best place you or I have ever been even if it is the only place we've experienced.
Designed by dumb matter which did not create intelligent life, human kind is endeavouring to force feed this type of stupidity on to the next generation. But the Bible states that it is better that a millstone were hung around their neck for altering the truth. Certainly, if I were the one who created this wonderful world with all its manifold blessing and you attributed my workmanship to another, well, I might be a little concerned about your motivations.
Presently, here in Toronto, there is a book presenting that the Roman Catholic religion was right. The author professes to be Roman Catholic in his beliefs. Note the distinction here between Catholic and Roman Catholic. For instance, I am a member of the Catholic church (people) of Jesus. The Catholic church of believers has its Head as JESUS in heaven. It is Jesus' church (people) being a universal church. Alternatively, the Roman Catholic church has its Head in Rome. Equally important, the Scriptures which were delivered by Jesus, who is the Word of God veiled in flesh is and always will be the only authority. In the Word alone, one will find safety, certainty and enjoyment. It is also in the Word that people find salvation.
In this context, I suggest to the author of this new book that the entrance of the Word as is was written by those who saw, heard and touched Jesus is the only source for finding salvation. Jesus is and was God incarnate. Still, we were forewarned of people who would come and try to preach another gospel. Jesus said that many would come in His name asserting that they are Christians. But if they do not speak according to this word believe them not. For to love God is to similarly love His Word. Continue in my Word and then you shall be my disciples indeed.
