The axe is laid at the root of the tree. The reformation axe was sort of blunt and fell short of the root. The fruit of the tree of the church formed by the ecclesiastics was nothing less than a repeat revived performance of the Garden of Eden example, whereby Adam and Eve were enticed to eat of the fruit of a particular tree. Earlier, according to the scriptures, eating the fruit of the tree had been forbidden of God. However, Satan came to Adam and Eve introducing a contrary message to the one delivered by God. His message was entitled, "Has God said?" The Garden of Eden example can be compared to messages delivered today that contravene the scriptures.
Remember, the church (or the dispensation in which God would indwell believers who adhered to His teachings) was dispensed by the same chosen Apostles whom He had commissioned to be His witnesses from the period during His time on earth until the consummation of an age predetermined of God.
The church, born of God at Jerusalem were now partaking of the fruit -- the fruit which can be compared to the symbolical tree of Life from the Old Testament. The same fruit which had been previously disallowed but is now being distributed by the right hand of God.
You see, it was God in Jesus the Christ who is the Only Begotten Son of the Spirit of God, who laid the axe at the root of the tree providing to man the axe, or sword of the Spirit. The Word of God. He, Jesus By Himself, brought wholesome words to man, whereby man at no expense could be fully redeemed. This is the body of believers that were constituted, which is known as the Church. It is important to note here that this is the only church established of God.
Now as to the other body established at Rome, which asserts itself as being Christian, it contains no fragment of apostolic Holy Spirit teaching. They may assert themselves insinuating that they are being persecuted for their assertions but that would be like the pot calling the kettle black. Sort of like revisionist history.
Indeed, when others uphold the original teachings of scripture in defiance of these types of contrary teachings cannot possibly be defined as persecution. In fact, people who raise critical questions should be applauded for their efforts to retain that which was delivered to man as truth. Not everyone is willing to lay aside the teachings of Christ for a message that does not align with the Word of God. What is it that the scriptures state in Galations? Doesn't the Bible suggest that presenting an alternative message to the gospel of Jesus would be cursed of God?
The question for you then is this. Do you really want a church that upholds MARIOLATRY, and Popery, and the Rosary? Isn't that just too much non-nourishing fruit on that tree? My suggestion is to READ YOUR BIBLE. Only then will you know that the HOLY GHOST WRITER IS GOD who chose to become your Saviour. In other words, see that no man deceives you ... For Jesus is the only Way, the Truth and the Life!
There is only one Mediator between God and Man! And that Mediator is the man Jesus the Christ, who is God manifest in the flesh, Because of His immeasurable love toward His creation, He came to our planet as a man laying down, giving up His son-ship, to provide eternal salvation as a gift! He does this to all the "whosoevers" who come directly to Him.
Yes, Jesus is the door. And Jesus said that no man (or woman) comes to the Father except he/she comes through Him. Therefore, do not sell your soul for a morsel of temporary fame and fortune. Turn to Jesus today. Stand in the offering plate.
