The Pharisees have never gone away.

Most Christians think that the Pharisees were just a first century phenomenon but they were an all encompassing and timeless representation of religion and they had a spirit; the spirit not only of religion, but of legalism and of a love of money, power and position.

In 70 AD Jerusalem, the Pharisees and the Jewish people with all their institutions were destroyed by the Romans, but this did not bring an end to this religious spirit, for spirits cannot be destroyed by men. This spirit then reinvented itself as another religion with the same love of money, power and position. It showed itself around the time, or just prior to the fall of Jerusalem. The story of that beginning can be found in the book of Acts chapter 8 verses 9-24. Here you will read of a certain Simon, who was a sorcerer, giving out that he was some great one, who bewitched (deceived) the people and who wanted to purchase The Holy Spirit from Peter with money (a wicked blasphemy).

This Simon, full name Simon Magus, who really fancied himself as a big shot, was a founder of the Roman Catholic money making organisation. It was his spirit, i.e. that same spirit, that corrupt love of filthy lucre that has permeated this organisation from its earliest beginnings and to this day. The Roman Catholic organisation is also very legalistic and very, very religious. So there you have it or should I say there you have them? - 21st century Pharisees and in continuum from the first century.

Is the Holy Word of God inerrant? - Introduction

Yes, but not as it's written, for it has been contaminated by men, men with their own agendas, the agendas of the Christian Religion. These men even contaminated the King James Version and, though less surprisingly, the modern translations of the Holy Scriptures as well, in particular, the ESV and the NIV.

Are you saying we should be King James Version Onlyists? Yes, up to a point, but providing you understand that The Holy Word of God was written down approximately one thousand five hundred years before the KJV was written so there are Greek and Hebrew versions of God's Holy Word to be taken into consideration as well. Always beware though, for there are fanatics out there who will have you worshiping the King James Bible if they can get you to do so and I am not advocating that. By all means use a modern version if it assists in your studies, but remember too that there are more errors in the modern translations than in the KJV. As a True Christian your quest should be for The Truth and you will not always find The Truth in the pages of The KJV for there are many man made Christian Religious errors within its pages.

Moreover, we need first to realise that the Word of God is a living Spiritual being. The Word is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, in the Greek The Logos, so, of course, the Word of God can only be inerrant for the Lord Jesus Christ was/is without error, without spot and without blemish - perfect in all His ways.

His written Word though is another matter entirely and in its original form was wholly reliable, but since the first century when it was written down it has been burnt and destroyed by the Romans under Diocletian, and then, what remained of the original writings, subsequently contaminated by the men of the Christian Religion from 100 AD onwards.

So can we rely on what is written in the pages of English Holy Bibles? Yes of course, but much care and study must be taken over any Scripture that does not feel Spiritually right. If a verse or passage is troubling you, or grieving the Holy Spirit within you in terms of it being not of grace i.e. causing you guilt or fear, you should take those Spiritual reactions very seriously indeed and then study it in as much detail as possible to see if it is genuine Holy Scripture or not. Make no mistake, there are more than a few suspect verses in the New Testament and a few too, although not as many, in the Old Testament.

To help you on your way I have written many articles on the errors of mainstream Christianity and on the errors of the way they interpret Holy Scriptures. I will be adding articles and studies to my web page in the coming weeks and months so please stay with it.

Welcome to the Church of God Web Site

This is where you will learn, probably for the first time, about the Lord Jesus Christ and His love for us; His brothers, sisters and friends. His love shown toward us through His sacrificial death and the glorious free gifts of salvation, faith and grace via His miraculous Resurrection.

I hope you will find all the articles and studies here uplifting and rewarding.

That being said, some of you, if you are of the mainstream Christian Religious persuasion, may find them challenging in that they will rock your Christian Religious foundation, and do not be surprised by this, for that is The Lord Jesus Christ's desired intention.

.

How can that be I hear you ask?

Well, because that's how it is, and no you weren't seeing things when you read that statement and this, believe it or not, is one of the chief areas where mainstream Christianity truly loses the plot. There is only one Church and there can only be one church and it certainly isn't in Rome, so where is it, and who or what constitutes the make up of the Church of God?

Before I answer that let's ascertain what the Church isn't. OK, first and foremost it is not an organisation, and it most definitely isn't an organisation that makes money or acts as a vast conduit for money, especially laundered money that has originated from Jesuit-Illuminati-Mafia organised crime i.e. corruption, theft, political blackmail, drugs, gambling and prostitution. For it is from these satanic sources that Rome gathers much of its financial wealth. In fact, when questioned on this matter, Mother Teresa said it was of no matter where the money originated as long as 'good works' were done with it. Now what do you think the Lord Jesus Christ's view is on this wicked activity, and, at what point in time did the Lord Jesus Christ become dependent upon the Devil for financial support for His Church? I am not going to add anything else to this subject, for this evidence alone condemns Rome for what it is - the Devil's pit of iniquity.

Now some of you will say: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard all that guff before, but we're Christians not Roman Catholics, we're Lutherans, Calvinists, Methodists, Baptists, United Reformists and even Anglicans/Episcopalians etc., our denominations broke from Rome hundreds of years ago." This is true, you did break from Rome, but, unfortunately, not completely, for all your denominations carry spiritual baggage, the same spiritual baggage as Rome - the spiritual baggage of religion, religious beliefs and religious form or the traditions of men plus legalism, expressed by your "salvation by works" teaching.

Nearly all denominations i.e. 99% of them teach a false message - the Bad News of boot strap, DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Christianity, commonly known as Churchianity.

So there we have it, i.e. what the church isn't, so if it isn't all the above, what or who exactly is The Church of God? Well that's simple, it's people, it's people that The Father God has called, and is calling, to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. John 6:44 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day". The Church of God is made up of people - period; there are no grand buildings, no Swiss bank accounts, no fancy clothes or funny hats, no organisations with head quarters, no hierarchies or pecking orders, no men in authority lording it over their congregations and most important of all NO DIVISIONS or Demon-inations; my name for denominations. In fact whatever you have been brought up to think is the church, isn't the church, it's a counterfeit.

The real Church is just people called and chosen by the Father to His Son hence the Greek name Ekklesia which just means "called out ones" - those called out of this world or out of this age to be The Lord's Elect - The Saints.

Why did Pontius Pilate ask The Lord Jesus Christ this question: What is Truth?....

...and what does this question tell us, not just about Pilate but about the carnal mind and condition of all human beings? Notice what Jesus says in the preceding verse: "Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Truth. Every one that is of the Truth heareth my voice." There you have it, the Lord Jesus Christ came to testify of Himself and anyone who hears His voice has The Truth; and who is The Truth - the Lord Jesus Christ is The Truth. He, The Truth, was standing right in front of Pilate, but Pilate did not know it, nor could he have known it, because The Truth was not in him and that is why he asked: What is truth? It is not until we are called by the Father to His Son that we can even begin to understand The Truth and who He is.

What do you think it is called? Is it St Mary's, St John's or St Peter's or even St Never-heard-of-him's church? The answer is, no, no, no and no. It is men who have named 'churches' in this way, not the Lord Jesus Christ. In a sense this is a hangover of Rome handed down to the demon-inations. The Church has always been God's Church or Jesus Christ's Church, if you prefer to call it that. In the first century it was known simply as The Church of God. The different congregations in various places were then known as The Church of God at Corinth or the Church of God at Ephesus. These Churches were never named after men or women, whether they were Saints or not. So who thought these names up? Easy, the men of the Christian Religion and it's all error, for they are full of error. From the edges of their toe nails to the ends of the hairs on their heads, and I jest not!

Was Peter a pope? If he was, why would he have wanted to associate his name with a money making and money laundering organisation that was to call itself Roman Catholic, and end up with a track record of endemic paedophilia and homosexuality?

Have you ever noticed the absence of the Lord Jesus Christ's name from their title? This reminds me of the story of the man who asked this question of another man: Are you a Christian? His reply: No, I'm a Roman Catholic!! Just think about that for a while.

Have you also noticed how they carry a dead Jesus around on their crucifixes? Do you know why that is? Easy, because that's how they see Him, dead, and they see Him dead because they have an impostor in Rome in His place, so the last thing they want is a Lord Jesus Christ who is alive, for if He is, their man is out of a job.

Did Peter wear funny hats that are a direct copy of the regalia worn by the pagan priests of Dagon, the fish god of the Philistines? No. Did he wear expensive fancy robes and live a celibate lifestyle? No, he was married.

Did he declare in the Holy Scriptures that from now on he was the Vicar of Christ and declare himself pope? No, so why do the blasphemers of the papist religion think he did, where do they get all this stuff and nonsense from? Well, I'm not going to spend any more time and valuable web space on this joke of yet another Roman Catholic lie, but I will give you a link to my article on this subject:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Was-Peter-The-First-Pope?&id=257341

Here you will find that I have explained, on a verse by verse basis, from The Holy Scriptures the heretical errors of Rome. As a final point, Roman Catholics say Peter was the rock upon which the church was to be built and yet the scriptures state quite clearly that the Church was God's Church - The Church of God. There is no such such thing as the church of Peter and there is no such thing as the apostolic church. These names or titles are not mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, they are pure fabrications, the fabrications of religious men; the religious men of Rome.

So how do we identify these ravening wolves, because Our Lord is using powerful language here? Wolves hunt in packs so they are numerous, not solitary, so we are dealing with many not the odd one here and there. What else are wolves known for - why they're frightening aren't they? It must be terrifying to be alone in a forest and hunted down by a pack of wolves. So here Our Lord gives us a sign to look for - fear. Their message will always be one of instilling fear into their flocks. How? We're back to my central focus point of this page - grace killing and the 'teaching' of a fear based religion. If there is no grace in a fellowship of believers there can only be one thing that fills the vacuum - fear!

They 'teach' about an ogre god, a god that is tyrannical and merciless rather than a God that is a God of love, mercy and forgiveness, and I don't mean syrupy yucky love out of Hollywood, I mean practical down to earth parental love.

Now this ogre god wickedness is perpetuated and compounded by the use of another false message; the message of hell fire, eternal torment and damnation. This is just another Roman Catholic lie which mainstream Christianity has never purged from its doctrines and theology. I have personally witnessed Christian brothers and sisters weeping with fear at the end of a sermon given by one of these wolves. We (my wife and I) tried to encourage and lift these people but they were too far gone - totally enslaved to this demonic influence and bondage. I have never experienced a more wretched group of Christians. I will be giving a full explanation of what Our Lord really teaches on this subject soon, but in the meantime meditate on these positive Scriptures

Romans 11:26 "All Israel shall be saved."

Phil 2:10 "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth."

Notice, every knee, not some knees!

1 Tim 2:3-4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

...but it has been contaminated and polluted by evil men, the evil men of the Christian Religion, who have created those supposed contradictions leading some Christians to think it is flawed. My articles on grace and faith reveal how man's 'theology' has corrupted The Word of God. How? Most of mainstream Christianity believes in some form of salvation by works, some without even knowing it; they just dress it in different clothes, depending upon which 'church' (demon-ination) you attend. Some teach about being 'cleansed each day' others teach blatant 'self-improvement' or 'are you getting enough Jesus?' Just what does that mean? Another favourite of theirs is 'renewal' forever seeking renewal but in reality never being renewed. How can you renew something that never needs renewal i.e. the indwelling of The Holy Spirit? This is a blasphemy of serious proportions. All that this nonsense amounts to is a heap of man made jargon and gobble-de-gook, flavour of the month churchianity. It's as if they have marketing men in charge continually thinking up new slogans.

When their 'ministers' 'teach' Ephesians 2:8 they 'teach' it from a salvation by works perspective. To them we always have to be doing something in order to make our salvation secure. For this agenda to work they have to teach that it is our faith, and not the Lord Jesus Christ's faith that is in action here. You see, if it is The Lord's faith then these 'ministers' are out of work, because when they 'teach' each week it's usually on all those things they think you should or should not be doing depending upon which of The Ten Commandments they are focusing on. Within this 'teaching' there is always an element of the Law to be obeyed and this kills grace. The Truth is, when you only have to teach that The Lord has done everything for us, how many times a month do you need to hear it!? Actually it's only once in a lifetime and once you've truly taken it on board you never forget it. This is the Good News and it is so wondrous and glorious, you never need reminding of it by any man in a pulpit.
