Do God’s People Need to Know the Original Languages to understand His Word? [podcast]
There are people going around saying we don’t have God’s Word today in our own language and therefore must learn Hebrew and Greek to truly understand it. Is this true? No.
SO, let me get this straight ….. GOD Almighty can’t cause His own people to understand HIS Word to them in their own language? If that were the case, why did He tell us that He was going to preserve His Word to us? (Psalms 12:6-7) This is a serious indictment upon the Almighty by deceived and darkened self-centered sinful souls who want you to believe they really know Hebrew and Greek, two dead languages. Ask them to read and also write a paragraph for you in those languages with NO help from google. Dead silence. They are caught in their own deception and need to repent. These counterfeits go around pretending to be superior in Bible knowledge. Frauds.
If you can’t read and speak Hebrew and Greek, by your own erroneous definition, you can’t know God or understand His Word – that He gave us in our own language as He promised to do (Psalms 12:6-7). Do you realize who convoluted and deranged that sounds? So by your own definition, you have no hope of understanding the message, the Word of your Maker. Wow.
Saying we can’t understand the Word of God unless we know the original languages is pure fiction perpetrated by those who seek to elevate themselves above others which is the soul-damning sin of “emulations.” (Galatians 5:19-21) They want everyone else to sit down and shut up and listen to them – because after all, only they can understand God and His Word, because they supposedly know the original languages.
Laughable lies about knowing the original languages. Beware of any person making the claim that you can’t understand God’s own Word in your own language unless you understand and can read Hebrew and Greek, the original languages from which the Bible was translated into English.
Flip their applecart in real time: Just ask them on the spot to speak Hebrew and Greek for you and watch their groundless lies and arrogance crumble instantly. Then ask them if they read or write in Hebrew and Greek. Their game is over. Works every time.
By their own standard, erroneous claim, THEM themselves do not understand God’s Word. They cannot speak or write in Hebrew or Greed which tells us them, which exposes them as false teacher who are bearing false witness against the LORD.
Jesus warns us of this very trick from Satan’s children. This is a classic deception, a diabolical maneuver to position oneself over others by pretending to possess esoteric, secret knowledge. Jesus spoke to this:
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52
“11:52 Finally the Lord Jesus denounced the lawyers for having taken away the key of knowledge, that is, for withholding God’s Word from the people. Though outwardly they professed loyalty to the Scriptures, yet they stubbornly refused to receive the One of whom the Scriptures spoke. And they hindered others from coming to Christ. They didn’t want Him themselves, and they didn’t want others to receive Him.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Basically, taking away the key of knowledge is the act of telling people that they are “not privileged or intelligent enough to understand because they are uneducated and stupid. So you need us. We are the specialists. You must come to us and patronize us and our ministries.”
Arrogant seminarian delusion: “We know the Greek and Hebrew so you need us. You can’t possibly understand God through His own Word for yourself because you aren’t degreed as we are! We paid a lot of money to be superior to you peasants, you little people! Only we can understand the Bible. So come on Sundays and bring your money, and we will tell you what God says!”
As He promised to do, the LORD gave us His Word in our own language and gave us His Holy Spirit upon saving us (Psalms 12:6-7; John 16:13). To say we can’t understand His Word in our own native language, and therefore need sinful mere men to show us what He supposedly said, is delusional.
(Luke 11:52 – instead of living in the mind of Christ where we elevate others above ourselves (Philippians 2:3-5). The Nicolaitans come to mind (Nico-laitans = conquer the people via lies).
1. Greek, Aramaic, and/or Hebrew not needed to understand God’s Word in our own language KJB. Most of the very people who make this claim do not even read or write in those languages and so according to their own standard, THEY themselves cannot understand God’s Word. Next time you meet someone who makes this claim, ask them to speak a few sentences for them in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Oh and write a few sentences in those languages too. Watch the smile vanish from their face.
GOD preserved His Word for us in our own language. It’s not a sin to look at the Hebrew or Greek and yet, such is not needed. Get to know Psalms 12:6-7. We HAVE God’s Word “preserved” for us by Him in our own language – English – in the King James Bible. No Hebrew or Greek needed. Repent and get over yourself. If you claim to “know” these languages and yet can’t read Hebrew and Greek, if you can’t speak in Hebrew and Greek, cease your virtue signaling, hypocrite. By your own erroneous standard you are unable to understand God’s Word because you don’t read and write in the original languages. You are embarrassing yourself.
Isn’t this exactly what the pagan Roman Catholic church did as they refused to say their mass in English and instead kept it in Latin which the English speaking peoples didn’t understand? So they kept them in the dark. Also, speaking of keeping the people in the dark, did the Catholic church not fight against the Bible being translated into English so the common man could read and understand it? Correct. Historical fact. Many were murdered for working to get the Bible translated so that the common man have a copy and could understand and know God all by themselves. The Catholic church stood to lose control over the people if the Bible was made available to the common man. And ultimately they did to the glory of God. And it’s clear to see that the same satanic spirit possesses today’s frauds who claim you need THEM – because they supposedly know the original languages – in order to understand God and know Him. They don’t know Him! They are Satan’s agents. Beware.
Beware of those who attempt to take away the key of knowledge (understanding) from others – as they pretend to be superior to you due to supposed knowledge of the original languages (Luke 11:52). They are lying to you. This is exactly what Jesus warns us about and exactly what the cult of Rome did for centuries. They are of the same “spirit of antichrist” as the false prophets of Rome! (1 John 2:18; 4:1-4)
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
“The Holy Ghost teacheth.” 1 Corinthians 2:13
God is all wise and had His Word preserved in our own language – nothing was lost (Psalms 12:6-7). That does mean looking up a Greek or Hebrew word is going to hurt anything. Yet the Bible instructions concerning properly “rightly dividing the word of truth” is to thoroughly study God’s Word in our own language, “precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line”, “comparing (collating, putting together) spiritual things with spiritual.” (2 Timothy 2:15; Isaiah 28:13; 1 Corinthians 2:13)
Jesus says that the Holy Ghost and the Word are our teachers, not the original languages (2 Tim 3:16-17; Ps 119:105; John 14:26; 16:13-14; 1 John 1:20-21, etc.).
Church history is mostly if not totally a waste of time to study and so is attempting to master the original languages the Bible was written in (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic). There is no divine authority in church history or in learning the original languages. Selah. God preserved His Word to us in our own language as He promised – and this is so we didn’t have to learned another language to understand what He stated (Psalms 12:6-7). What a gracious KING we serve! Personally, I’m usually careful with those who have a pretended higher, superior view of Scripture based on their supposed knowledge of the original (now dead) languages. Such apparent pride alone reveals they haven’t learned much yet from their pretended knowledge of the original languages. Do we know all about the necessity of humility in the English? (See Matthew 18:3-4; 20:24-28; 23:8-12, etc..) I usually ask them if they speak or read or write in those original languages and usually the answer is silence. | Church History is a Waste
Make no mistake: It’s none other than the “spirit of antichrist” that is behind this unfounded, heretical notion that you have to learn the original languages to understand the Bible (1 John 4:1-3). Laughable. This is just another attempt of Satan to get people to not seek God, to make things seem difficult. Anyone parroting this lie of the devil is under the influence of Satan himself.
BEWARE of those who try to convince you with their Greek acrobatics that they are far superior in Bible knowledge than you are. It’s 100% a sham. Pull their rug!
I just shared with just such a man the following rebuke:
NOT impressed with your supposed handle on the Hebrew and Greek. Do you speak and write in Greek? I didn’t think so. Did God give us His Word in our own language? Yes He did. Psalms 12:6-7 King James Bible.
Saints, to infer that we need to know Hebrew and Greek to truly understand God’s Word is an indictment against the Almighty who preserved for us His Word in our own language. This is just another doubt casting “Hath God said” ploy, deception of Satan (Genesis 3:1).
“THE KEY OF KNOWLEDGE”
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52
Taking away the simple understanding of the Bible, of law, from the common man, is the work of Satan – the great manipulator, the changer of God’s Word (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4). Examples of taking “away the key of knowledge” would include how the roman catholic cult hid the truth from most of its adherents by keeping their pagan “mass” ceremony in Latin till the 1960’s because most of their captives didn’t speak or understand Latin. Another example of taking “away the key of knowledge” is the modern unlawful “legal” system and how they’ve doctored the law by changing the meaning of the words. They did such to take away the simple, self-evident understanding of words in order for the common man to understand.
“Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?” Luke 6:39
Yet this key of knowledge is hidden from the people. Let’s read Jesus’ words again:
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52
Here Jesus is addressing evil doers who take away the ability for the average person or even child to understand God’s Word, His will. To take away the “key” is to disallow people from having access to the goods, the knowledge of God, the truth. Think about that. Ponder what our LORD is conveying here, the principle of it – and use this truth to discern the world around you. Is this not how people get “destroyed”?
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
Our lack of knowledge of how man’s government law works against us: Such would include not knowing the 5th Amendment to the Constitution.
“The Fifth Amendment creates a number of rights relevant to both criminal and civil legal proceedings. In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids “double jeopardy,” and protects against self-incrimination.”
Notice “protects against self-incrimination.” So, this seems to convey that the individual is not accountable to give any information at all, including any information that could and will be used AGAINST him in a court of law. So, one must act wisely, know his rights, lest he be seduced by cops or any other to produce information that would and could incriminate him. It can be observed that policemen are well trained at seducing their prey out of their rights. This is done for the reason of getting information, many times, to use against the person whose right to silence is being violated or hidden. They want this key of knowledge, understanding to be taken from the common man as was and is the case of the “spirit of antichrist” which worked through the Roman cult and has poisoned all seminarians today.
God’s Word is Self and Holy Spirit Interpretive
God’s Word is easily understood by even children. It’s self-interpretive. He who died for all and loves all of mankind made sure of that. In fact it’s only the humble in heart, the true seekers whom He gives the knowledge of Himself to. Jesus says:
“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” Matthew 11:25
Why would God have gone to such great lengths to see that we have His Word in our own language, if He knew we weren’t going to be able to understand it? See Psalms 12:6-7.
Do we realize the evil indictment this is against the LORD? Why would God hide His blessings from true seekers? He wouldn’t and the record of His Word itself and all the way through, make this plain, evident.
It is always SATAN himself behind the stumbling blocks, keeping God’s truth (which reveals the Great Savior) away from the common people.
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4:4
In order to keep the Savior Christ from the people, His Word must be kept from them. Those without God’s Word are in darkness. They can have no “light,” no “understanding” without it.
“Light” and “understanding” replace darkness and lack of understanding by nothing else but the written Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
Jesus informs us that He has come to give mankind “life … more abundantly” and that it’s Satan who has come “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:” (John 10:10). History holds the record that it was none other than Satan’s Roman Catholic church that murdered millions who were instrumental in bringing the Word of God to the forefront, into manifestation for all people (William Tyndale, the Waldensians, etc.). See Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (the original version).
Anyone teaching the above heresy – that one must understand Greek and Hebrew to understand God and His Word – is putting a stumbling block in the way of others and is under divine condemnation. It is Satan and those under His control who don’t want you to know God’s Word. This is the same war against God and mankind that Satan waged from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1, 4).
DECEPTION:
We often hear compromisers perhaps self-righteously say “But I use several versions.” Is that a good thing? No.
REPLY:
“How can we put an ounce of confidence, credibility, in that which is a corruption of what God stated? Is it not SATAN behind the casting doubt upon God’s Word and changing of it? See Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4. Is God now ‘the author of confusion’? See 1 Corinthians 14:33. Does He need us to read His enemy’s versions of what HE stated to understand His will, etc.? Think about this.”
WHO Came to Take Away God’s Words?
Jesus says “Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word” (Mark 4:15).
The taking away of the Word from the common people is done in many ways, including telling them they can’t understand it unless they learn the original languages. Anyone teaching this is guilty of taking away the key of knowledge, of grieving and hindering the work of the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:52; Ephesians 4:30).
Satan wars against the Word – against people, the common people, being able to have the Word of God in their language and understand it. Now that we have it in our languages, Satan attempts to convince people that they can’t understand it unless they 1. go to seminary, 2. learn the original languages, 3. use several different versions, etc. Nonsense.
The beloved William Tyndale was murdered by Satan’s Roman Catholic church for translating the Bible, God’s Word, into the common language of the people – so they could know it and know God for themselves (Hosea 4:6; John 5:39-40; 20:31; Psalms 119:130; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). When the common people can read God’s Word for themselves in their own language, they are enlightened by the LORD and see His true and also see the false prophets, false religions for what they really are – the enemy’s trap door to send people to eternal hell.
The Catholic Church is Satan’s Monstrosity and has done Nothing Except Attack God’s Word
Leslie R Wilds writes:
“Did you know that when the King James Bible came out (besides the Tyndale Bible which was suppressed because they murdered him) it was the only Bible available to the General Public? Because the Catholic Church suppressed it. It came out before German rationalism, English deism, or French atheism, ever raised their ugly heads. All of that including Darwinism is a direct assault against the King James Bible because the Word of God became available to everyone through the English king who authorized it. Whether you like the king or not, King James Bible is the Word of God is not to be altered ever.”
The next time some arrogant deceived person attempts to convince you that you need to know the original languages (Hebrew and Greek) from which we derived our English Bible (KJB), ask them to speak and write just 1 Bible verse to you in Hebrew or Greek. This stops them dead in their tracks. Foolishness. As He promised, and kept His promise, God gave us His Word in our language (Psalms 12:6-7). Oh and Jesus says the written Word and Holy Spirit who gave that Word are your Teachers! See John 14:26; 16:13-14.
Beware of the doubt-casters who are the agents of Satan himself – the original doubt caster. The idea that English speaking people need the Greek and Hebrew, two dead languages, is just another complete deception. God preserved His perfect Word to us in our own language – just as He promised in Psalms 12:6-7.
A group called the “Institute of Biblical Studies” advertises the following:
“Know the Bible as you’ve never known it before! Look through the window of the original Hebrew to gain a deeper understanding of the text. Sign up Now. Uncover hidden meanings in the Scriptures by learning Biblical Hebrew and engaging with the Old Testament as never before!”
Is this true or is it a scam?
THE ORIGINALS?
Where is the perfect Word of God?
Some would tell you that you have to “go back to the originals.”
FACT: None of the originals exist.
FACT: Originals were never collated together in one book.
FACT: Originals were written in 2 now dead languages.
FACT: It’s Satan influencing some to cast doubt on whether we have God’s Word in our language (Gen 3:1).
FACT: God promised to preserve His Word to us in our own language (Ps 12:6-7). Are you calling Him a liar? Did He keep His promise? Do you understand English? Did He leave you without His Word in your own language? No.
SATAN has control over so many who vainly claim to be saved. He is behind the “Hath God said” doubting, questioning of God’s Word just like their father the devil who did so from the beginning, in the Garden, causing the fall of mankind (Genesis 3:3). So many claim to trust the LORD for salvation and yet don’t even believe God preserved His Word for us in this late hour – as He expressly foretold He would do (Ps 12:6-7). “Few there be which enter therein” (Matthew 7:13-14).
People who aren’t truly serving the LORD want to believe they are justified in their sin because they erroneously believe that there is no perfect Bible. They foolishly believe this gives them a free pass to live in sin, lukewarm, which is hell bound (Revelation 3:15-16).
Here’s why it’s certain that sin and an evil spirit are behind the questioning of God’s Word (Genesis 3:1)….. WHO said: “Hath God said?” (Genesis 3:1). Satan!
YOU know a person is under the direct control of SATAN when they question God’s Word – by casting doubt on His obvious preserved Word. There’s no other conclusion when you understand that SATAN was the first and perpetually the one behind casting doubt on God’s words – “Hath God said?” (Genesis 3:1). You MUST grasp this. This doubt-casting questioning led to the fall of mankind in the Garden of creation and is leading to the fall of many today who are wise in their own conceit, blind, and walking in darkness!
So, let’s get some things straight….Do YOU speak and write in Hebrew? No. God promised to give us His Word in our language, to preserve it for us and He did so in the KJB. (Psalms 12:6-7). … So you claim to NOT be able to understand the King James Bible in your native language, English, that you’ve learned since you were born, and now you claim that someone needs to study 2 dead languages to understand His Word? God fulfilled His promise to preserve His Word to us in our language. – “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation for ever” (Psalms 12:6-7).
DECEPTION:
Someone may say “Well, you say that the King James Bible is God’s Word but prove that the King James Bible is God’s Word.”
REPLY:
Prove that any of the other English “bibles” are His preserved Word. You can’t. They were taken from corrupted manuscripts. It’s easy to prove that the King James Bible is the fulfillment of the divine preservation promise of Psalms 12:6-7. You must begin with His divine promise to preserve His Word (Psalms 12:6-7) and then out of an honest heart you simply, objectively compare verses side by side, having nothing to hide and no agenda but to know the truth. Those bent on defending obvious corrupt “bibles” have sin and darkness in their hearts (John 3:19-21). See if Colossians 1:14 in your fake “bible” has the BLOOD in it. Then, see if Romans 8:1 is chopped in half. And see if that corruption you call a “bible” has removed Matthew 17:21. Case closed.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“The KJV in comparison to the original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic, as you put it, is a ‘cheap knockoff!’ Not everyone can understand, nor comprehend the KJV, that’s why we have the blessing of the Holy Spirit!”
REPLY:
So did the Holy Spirit of God sanction the butchering of His own words in direct contradiction to His severe warning in Revelation 22:18-19? Also, the divine promise of the preservation of His Word means that His real Word in our language is exactly what He wants us to have and equal to those languages from which it came (Ps 12:6-7). You are what some call a Bible agnostic which is a person who believes God originally gave man His Word and then changed and dropped the ball.
THERE ARE SO MANY clueless novices, arrogantly claiming to be the authority on the Bible. Very few of them care to learn a few things. They insist they know it all when they are completely ignorant of the truth about God’s Word and how He kept His promise to preserve it to us in our language (Psalms 12:6-7). This reveals some serious depth of darkness these people are in. If they are casting doubt on God’s Word, they are under the power of SATAN who’s the first one to cast doubt on God’s Word (Genesis 3:1). And, we “know them by their FRUIT” (Matthew 7:16, 20). True repentance needed.
WHEN someone casts doubt on God’s Word, in any way, they reveal they are not obeying God’s Word and refuse to. They are unrepentant.
BEWARE: Those who say you have to go back to the originals or original languages are admitting – THAT THEY OPENLY DENY THAT GOD KEPT HIS PROMISE TO PRESERVE HIS WORD TO OUR GENERATION IN OUR LANGUAGE AND THAT WE HAVE NO REAL WORD, INSTRUCTION FROM GOD TODAY (Psalms 12:6-7). This leaves people wide open to be misled by the “many false prophets” Jesus forewarned would come and “deceive many” (Matthew 24:11). If there is no real Word of God, then we aren’t responsible for knowing and obeying it, right? If there is no real Word of God, then we are relegated to listen to mere men and just do what they say and follow them, right?
These who say either, 1. We have no real Word of God today, OR, 2. That any book that says “Holy Bible” on the cover is God’s Word, are what we call “Bible agnostics.” Beware of these wolves! These are some of the vilest of devils who are casting doubt on the integrity and character of God and casting a stumbling block in the path of younger believers – by denying that God left us His Word as He promised to do.
Discrediting or questioning God’s Word reveals that you are a child of the one who did such in the Garden (Genesis 3). All who are “of God” humble receive, believe, and live out God’s Word – all others are “NOT of God.” (John 8:47)
To even come up with some foolish, detracting, groundless argument against God’s Word clearly reveals that such a person is in darkness – which means they are not right with God but rather in rebellion and therefore turned over to darkness (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). There they are accusing God of lying to us – blaming Him by foolishly accusing Him, saying we don’t have a perfect Bible. So, from the onset of such a conversation, an attack on the LORD, you know you are dealing with a devil.
SOME who dare to cast doubt on God’s Word, the preserved Word to us in the King James Bible, do so out of pure depravity and darkness. You see, they figure if they can sear their own conscience with this heretical idea that “we really don’t have God’s Word because no translation is perfect” … then in their darkness, they vainly believe they are not accountable to a God who didn’t keep His own Word by preserving His Word for us in our language (Psalms 12:6-7). It’s the same for God-less rebels who say things like “the truth of God was lost in translation.” These people are under the dark curse of the enemy of all souls. We “know” (discern) them “By their fruit” as Jesus instructed us to do (Matthew 7:6, 20, etc.).
No other English Bible was needed after the King James Bible came forth – the 7th in the lineage of English Bibles. Is this not in fulfillment of the prophecy of Psalms 12:6-7? It sure is… check this out …. God’s Word is Inspired and Preserved
Certainly, we don’t believe the Holy Spirit of the living God is behind this attack on His own Word, now do we? Impossible! (2 Peter 1:20-21).
Now, there are certainly those who are unlearned and honestly, earnestly looking for the LORD’s answers. Those are the people we wish to help. You may think I am quick triggered and harsh concerning those who dare attack God’s Word. Keep in mind that the first one to do such is Satan himself and so we know from the onset that anyone questioning or casting doubt on God’s Word is of the devil (Genesis 3:1).
Ever notice how those who make accusations against God’s Word can’t back them up? Because they are groundless and those making these false statements are pawns of the father of all lies, Satan – the first one to question God’s Word (John 8:44; Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4, etc.).
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation for ever.” Psalms 12:6-7
Did God keep His promise to preserve His Word to us in our language? Yes or no? DARE you claim we don’t really have God’s Word? WHEN someone rejects God’s Word, they are counting themselves unworthy of everlasting life – “Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles” (Acts 13:46).
ANY born again believer who compares versions side-by side knows/discerns which one is from God and therefore knows all the other fairy tale versions are from Satan – the original corrupter of God’s words (Genesis 3). Saying you have to go back to the original languages calls God a liar, openly denying the preservation of Scripture – because He promised to preserve His Word to all generations (Psalms 12:6-7). Also, nearly no one in the Western or English speaking world could read God’s Word if this were the case, right? Do YOU personally read and speak fluent Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek? No! How many people do you know who do? So, they are basically saying that if people don’t speak and read all these languages, they are out of luck and can’t have and know God’s Word. Delusional.
The Bereans “searched the SCRIPTURES” they had in their own language and not the original languages or anything extra-biblical (Acts 17:10-11). Looking into the Hebrew and Greek is fine but saying or hinting that you can’t understand God’s Word if you don’t know those languages is just another deception of the original doubt-casting perverter of God’s words, Satan. Jesus says His Word and the Holy Spirit are our teachers, not the original languages (John 5:39-40; 8:47; 14:26; 16:13-14, 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17, etc.).
Now are we beginning to see just how important the divine promise recorded in Psalms 12:6-7 is?
Recently someone sent me a post that pretended to prove that the King James Bible is not God’s exclusive Word for the English speaking peoples. The first sentence gave away their erroneous position. The writer was saying that only the original manuscripts were inspired which is an unmitigated lie that denies that God kept His Word, His promise to preserve His Word to us – which transcends language (Psalms 12:6-7) This is what we call Bible agnosticism – where some people believe that God exists and yet is not active in the affairs of men, and has basically forsaken His creation. They claim He lied by not preserving His Word to us in our language as He specifically promised to do (Psalms 12:6-7). Ridiculous.
Not only is this ridiculous, it makes a fool of those who say it because they don’t read or speak even one of those three languages!
Sherry Todd writes:
“The King James Bible is the very Word of God. You can reject it if you choose. I’m not going to. Didn’t turn out too well for king Saul did it? Rejecting the Word of the Lord brings dire consequences. No thanks. So you claim that the original texts are perfect but not our Bible in English? Do you realize that you are saying that God decided that none of us today should have the incorruptible Word? Instead He gave us partial truths and is hiding His Word from us? Not. And you came to this conclusion how? You had to reject many verses to come to that conclusion including the direct promise of God in Psalms 12:6-7 to preserve His Word to all generations – that includes us! ‘God is not a man, that he should lie.’ (Numbers 23:19)”
Those who claim they can’t understand the Bible in English and then turn around and say you have to learn 2 other new and dead languages (Hebrew and Greek) to understand God’s Word, are quite confused to say the least…. think about that.
Here is my recent reply to someone who put forth the “original languages” argument:
“Do YOU speak and write Hebrew and Greek? If not then by your own definition your ‘god’ left you without his word.”
To a man who touted that he’s been studying the original languages for years, my response was:
“I have studied Greek and Hebrew for over 4 decades but there’s no need. God gave us His Word in our language just as He promised to do in Psalms 12:6-7. We both know that you do not write and speak Hebrew and Greek. Do you see what you are saying and doing here by misleading people to believe the lie that they have to know the original languages to understand God’s Word? Those are both dead languages by the way…..And you are lying on God. Psalms 12:6-7” God’s Word is Inspired and Preserved
But saying you need to know Hebrew and Greek is laughable and calls God a liar Psalms 12:6-7…. Do we have God’s Word in our language? Yes. People are running around saying you have to go back to the originals (which don’t exist) or learn Hebrew and Greek are great deceivers who destroy the trust God wants us to have in His Word-that He preserved for us in our language just like He promised. Those who say you have to know the original languages don’t read or write a lick of Greek or Hebrew themselves.
You see, that’s the underlying truth here, the issue. Satan’s agents corrupted a few manuscripts and those are in the control of the Vatican and from which all the new version “bibles” come from… it’s worldwide deception just as Jesus and His apostles warned us.
This lie that you have to know the original languages is many times perpetrated by those who want people to look to them and not God. They are casting doubt on God’s Word and destroying the faith in God’s Word in weak, young believers. It’s very Catholic to keep the Word from the people!
The same lying hypocrites who regurgitate the lie that you have to understand the 3 original languages the Bible was originally written in don’t even know those languages themselves. Ask them if they personally speak Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. The answer is a resounding NO. These are Satan’s agents who get weak people to believe they don’t have God’s Word and so won’t read God’s Word (KJB).
I have no idea how any person could have the slightest respect for Satan’s corruptions of Word of the God they claim to serve. THINK OF THE SPIRITUAL BETRAYAL/ADULTERY! If someone attacked your husband/wife and you STILL endorsed that attacker, HOW WOULD YOUR HUSBAND/WIFE FEEL ABOUT THAT? SMH
MARK THIS: ALL who cast doubt on God’s Word are of Satan – who is undeniably the one who began this doubt-casting when in the Garden he asked the woman “Hath God said…?” (Genesis 3:1).
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? … And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall NOT surely die:” Genesis 3:1, 4
God’s Word records the fact that Satan added the word “not” to what God had said in Genesis 2:17: “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” (This is the first time “once saved always saved”/”eternal security” was taught-by Satan)
Satan is the original doubt caster to deceive and destroy. In the Garden he cast doubt on what God had said then added one 3-letter word to God’s Word which led to the fall of mankind into sin (Genesis 3:1, 4). Any person today who is casting doubt on whether we actually have God’s Word preserved to us is doing the work of and is a child of Satan.
Those who lie are the children of the one Jesus says is the father of all lies. No liar shall enter glory but rather shall be cast alive into the lake of fire! (John 8:44; Revelation 21:8)
A worn-out lame excuse we hear from some who are deceived is “Well, you have to go back to the original languages to know God’s truth.” In other words they are openly casting doubt upon and denying that we have God’s Word – that the LORD kept His promise to preserve His Word to us in our own language (Psalms 12:6-7). Hmmmmm. Question to such devils: “Do YOU speak and read in Hebrew and Greek? No! So, by your own definition, you can’t know God’s Word. But you are utterly deceived by your own darkened, evil heart. You are calling God a liar – saying He didn’t keep His promise to preserve His Word to all generations. Repent sinner.”
Most modern “preachers” use Satan’s “bibles” instead of the King James Bible and YET WE WONDER why the modern church world is completely apostate?
The prophesied Great Falling Away has come on the wings of Satan’s false “bibles.”
Did the LORD Drop the Ball?
Those who question that we have God’s Word today IN OUR OWN LANGUAGE by saying that you have to go back to the original languages are full blown agents of the father of lies, the archenemy of God and all souls.
To say that today’s English speaking Christians have to go back to the original autographs (which do not exist and which we do not need), these evil workers are saying we really don’t have God’s Word. They are saying God blatantly lied to us by promising to preserve His Word and then not doing so!
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalms 12:6-7

Referring here and there to Hebrew and Greek is one thing: trying to use it to contradict the preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples, is yet another thing and this is usually done because the antichrist doing it doesn’t want the plain truth rendered in his own language. Repentance needed.

“All Bibles are rewritten!”
REPLY:
That’s the devils’ statement, you know, the one who first changed and questioned God’s Word (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4). Explain that if you actually have facts instead of just parroting liars. Discrediting or questioning God’s Word reveals that you are a child of the one who did such in the Garden (Genesis 3). What’s behind the “All Bibles are rewritten!” statement? Here it is: When you hear this claim it’s being made by someone who has no facts, is just regurgitating Satan’s lie, and does not want to be accountable to God and so they deny we have His Word. Pure rebellion.

“No matter what version, King Jesus is the One we are to preach.”
REPLY:
No one is even hinting that anyone other than KING Jesus is the central Theme of all of Scripture and the only One to be preached (1 Corinthians 2:2; Galatians 6:14). Without apology, I bring this important topic to the surface and will continue to do so – because the Word of God is the tangible medium that King Jesus ordained to reveal Himself (Lk 24:44; Jn 5:39, etc.). Personally, I will not participate or agree that this is anything but an essential topic with the highest, most severe eternal judgment attached to any man who dare add to or take away from the words of God (Revelation 22:18-19).
Perhaps the most severe warning of Scripture specifically addresses the sinful rebellion of changing God’s Word. Rev 22:17-18. Perhaps you should be crying out to the LORD to instill His holy fear deep in your heart.

“I agree it is the best English translation; nevertheless the Bible was written in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. That is God’s Word, everything else is man’s attempt to dictate that Word in their own tongue. To suggest that the Bible was ratified in the English language is a kind of supremacy cult.”
REPLY:
Aren’t you generous to say that the KJB is the best English translation 😉 It’s not only the best it is God’s Bible for the English speaking people. You are misled and perhaps innocently. God promised to preserve His Word and He did into our language (Ps 12:6-7). Saying that God, the Almighty, was not able to fully bring His words into our language is an indictment on the Almighty. You are saying His power is diminished and that He doesn’t care about this generation and are calling God a liar to say that His Word is less in English than it was in the other languages and you have no proof of such – and seem to be acting as if your puny opinion is authoritative. You are a “Bible Agnostic” at this point. Bible Agnostics Exposed
KNOWING Hebrew and Greek is NOT the most reliable way to understand God’s Word. In fact, you don’t even need it. And, those running around saying you have to know Hebrew and Greek to understand the Word, can’t speak or write in Hebrew or Greek. Laughable. The Bible tells us how to understand the Bible!
Jesus told us that the divine Person of the Holy Spirit is our Teacher – not the Greek or Hebrew (original languages) (John 14:26; 16:13-14; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.). Yes it’s good to look at the Hebrew and Greek here and there but His Word in our language, which He preserved (Psalms 12:6-7) and Himself are more than able to teach us. In fact, the very best way to learn is actually a system He put in His Word – line upon line learning – stacking precept upon precept (Isaiah 28:10, 13; 1 Corinthians 2:13). Thoroughly studying a topic by searching and stacking (collating) Scripture upon Scripture which speaks of that subject you are peering into, is the ultimate method to apprehend the mind of Christ on any topic … Not the original languages.
QUESTION:
“What about the Geneva Bible?
REPLY:
I am exposing the new version “bibles” which all came from the corrupted lineage of manuscripts and not the Textus Receptus which the Geneva and KJB come from.
The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English, preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the …
Complete Bible published: 1560 Religious affiliation: Protestant
NT published: 1557 Textual basis: Textus Receptus
Textus Receptus (Latin: “received text“) is the name retroactively given to the succession of printed Greek language texts of the New Testament which constituted the textual base for the original German Luther Bible, for the translation of the New Testament into English by William Tyndale (1526), Myles Coverdale’s Bible (1535), Matthew’s Bible (1537), The Great Bible (1539), The Geneva Bible (1557 – 60), The Bishops’ Bible (1568), and the King James Version (1611), and for most other Reformation-era New Testament translations throughout Western and Central Europe such as the Spanish Reina-Valera translation and the Czech Bible of Kralice. The Textus Receptus has been translated into hundreds of languages. (See Also The Word of God for All Nations) The origin of the term “Textus Receptus” comes from the publisher’s preface to the 1633 edition produced by Abraham Elzevir and his nephew Bonaventure who were printers at Leiden:
- Textum ergo habes, nunc ab omnibus receptum: in quo nihil immutatum aut corruptum damus. Translated “so you hold the text, now received by all, in which nothing corrupt.”
The two words, “textum” and “receptum“, were modified from the accusative to the nominative case to render textus receptus. Over time, this term has been retroactively applied to Erasmus’ editions, as his work served as the basis of others that followed. Many supporters of the Textus Receptus will name any manuscript which agrees with the Textus Receptus Greek as a “Textus Receptus” type manuscript. This type of association can also apply to early church quotations and language versions.

Is Your Church Your Idol? [podcast]
Is Your Church Your Idol? (below)
Is Church Membership Biblical? (below)
SO, YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR CHURCH, THE PASTOR, THE PROGRAM, AND HOW YOU LOVE IT AND THE MUSIC AND EVENTS…YET THE NAME OF JESUS NEVER FLOWS FROM YOUR LIPS IN PRAISE? WOW! IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO REPENT, RETURN TO CHRIST, AND COME OUT FROM AMONG THE WICKED BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! (2 CORINTHIANS 6:14)
EVER stop to ponder how we’ve commercialized, monetized, and grossly complicated what God ordained to be a time of rejoicing and blessing? Fellowship! Read Acts 2:42 and Colossians 3:16. Study the biblical model. Real fellowship with other saints is so simple, biblically. The bureaucracy of wolves has completely ruined such simplicity and that’s why so many no longer patronize their church busine$$e$ (2 Peter 2:1-3).
SO MANY TODAY WILL TALK ABOUT THEIR “CHURCH,” THEIR PASTOR, OR FAVORITE MINISTER – BUT NOT JESUS! THEIR WOLF HANDLERS ARE INDOCTRINATING AND USING THEM AS THEIR SALES AGENTS! SPIRITUAL ADULTERY. IDOLATRY.
Looking for the church means simply looking for other true members of Christ’s body! WE are HIS church – called out ones. Amen Jesus. Fellowship, Gatherings
NO SUCH THING AS CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN THE EARLY CHURCH. TOTALLY FALSE. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IS A TOOL THAT CONTROLLING LEADERS USE TO CORRAL SOULS FOR THEIR OWN SELF-SERVING PURPOSES! BEWARE! (JEREMIAH 23; EZEKIEL 34; MATTHEW 23) THEY DISCOUNT YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST BY TELLING YOU THAT MEMBERSHIP IS IMPORTANT IN THE CHURCH BUSINESS THEY ARE BUILDING TO THEIR OWN GLORY. JESUS CAME TO MAKE CAPTIVES FREE. SATAN’S AGENTS SEEK TO PUT YOU IN BONDAGE! (LUKE 4:18; JOHN 10:10; GALATIANS 5:1)
Are you ashamed of Jesus? Are you confessing your “church” or Christ? Are you inviting people to your “church” or to Christ?
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
God is Jealous! (Exodus 34:14) He will not be second to anyone but MUST be your “FIRST love” – first priority in all things (Revelation 2:4-5).
IF you are not willing and obedient to forsake all, to give up every single idol, you cannot and will not be saved but rather damned in the lake of fire irrevocably (Luke 14:33; 17:33; Revelation 21:8, etc.).
PEOPLE prove they are blind and being misled when they testify anything other than CHRIST crucified! Yet many church attenders swear that they are in the truth. Delusional. They are quick to boastfully tell you they “go to church” and yet the name of Jesus never leaves their lips – because apparently He’s not in their hearts (Matthew 12:34).
“Church” today has become a staged event with a cast, crew and light show to entertain the members and seekers.
ANY thing you won’t give up for Christ – including religion – is a soul damning idol.
Are you doing the “church” thing or is your heart and life all about JESUS?
WHO, WHAT holds the ultimate “preeminence” in your heart? Colossians 1:18
IF you are not hearing that the ALMIGHTY commands you to lay down your life, you have placed yourself under a false prophet ministry and God is not going to bless you but rather going to turn you over to “strong delusion” so that you believe the cross-less lie and ultimately perish, all the while believing you were saved (Matt 7;21; 2 Thess 2:9-12; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4).
Is your “church” or is JESUS your “first love”? (Revelation 2:4-5)
So let me get this straight…
You run around telling people how much you love your church and pastor but never testify of the saving mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ? God is calling you to repent and be saved for real!
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33
The vast majority of “churches” that meet in “church buildings” are simply and merely conducting “church services” where they entertain their prey. They are not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and therefore discerned as being counterfeit (Ephesians 4:11-13). If they were, there would be salty disciples in their midst who go forth to minister Christ’s kingdom blessings where ever they went. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12
Jenn W. writes:
“That’s exactly why I left the church I grew up in. It turned into a social club almost like a cult that was more focused on people and the ‘church’ but none of it was centered around Jesus Christ at all. They all beg me to come back, but every time I pray asking God, ‘Do you want me to go back there, Lord?’ I always hear Him flat out tell me ‘NO!’ God is not the author of confusion, He gives us confirmation and full rest and peace in our spirit about decisions. Whenever I even think of going back there I feel anxiety and panic because I know God doesn’t want me there. We can’t people-please just because they want us to do something or tell us to ‘not forsake the assembly.’ They will use all types of guilt trips to make you try to conform down to their lukewarm level and fit in. I refuse to do that. The church is extremely carnal, and everyone is concerned with money and building mega-churches. They say when you’re too holy or sanctified that you are ‘legalistic,’ and they hate when you are set apart.”
Holy Ghost anointed preaching will ALWAYS lead you to fresh repentance.
Brett Gibney writes:
“Many small churches are more like businesses with employees to maintain. The member becomes a customer and the church entertains them for donations and offerings. The pastor is the boss and manager operating within a strict budget. Big business in today’s Christian movement. Jesus Christ has never been to the place they call ‘church.’ He would flip their book, DVD and CD tables over! When money and theatrics are involved, God isn’t! Nowhere in the Bible is the pastor called to run the church. They appoint themselves. The only difference between a calling and a occupation is a salary.”
Church is what you are, not somewhere you go!
PLEASE show us where anyone in the New Testament Scriptures went around looking for an elder, a pastor, a church? YES, fellowship is essential and so is submitting to our elders in Christ and yet, perhaps today, far too much emphasis is placed on these things (Hebrews 10:24-25; 13:7, 17, etc.). None of this matters if the individual disciple is not engaged in seeking the face of the LORD personally.
You don’t need a preacher because you have a Bible. Read it. You don’t need a preacher to tell you what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning yourself. Today is your day to take more personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) …… Jesus is Coming.
WHEN a person truly repents, he clears all idols from his life and Jesus Christ is truly reigning – on the throne of His heart. 1 idol will eternally damn the soul the same as a million idols!
NOW!
Memorize:
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22
Repent afresh. Seek God for real. Lay down your life in this world and follow Jesus. Cry out to Him to make you His authentic disciples, to strip all hypocrisy, deceit, depravity, and hatred in your heart. | Fresh Start with God
Many who initially believed will ultimately and eternally be damned for their idolatry…..
“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” John 12:42-43
“And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.” Mark 7:14-15
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.” Matthew 23:23-26

“It is Godly to have a church building to meet in. Jesus does not speak against it. If there is one, just one church that preaches the Gospel, and there is, then this comment is leading people astray. Go visit, til you find the right church…don’t be lazy and loose your soul…Amen! But that is a half truth to deter people if there is one church preaching the Gospel. You are trying to be God!”
REPLY:
I don’t agree with it being godly necessarily….. A physical building is not a necessity and is usually a great hindrance and worse. Jesus didn’t specifically speak against a physical building but He DID speak against the wolves operating in those buildings. Jesus also didn’t practice it (erecting physical buildings) because He is divine and knows all things and how men make themselves kings and rich off of the people usually as they use that central meeting place for self-serving purposes….. and no, a physical building is not a sin in and of itself. It can’t be, yet what is going on in those apostate “churches” is usually not the New Testament biblical model but rather for the self-serving purposes of those Paul says are “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18-19). Any Berean, discerning Bible student sees that.
You don’t seem to be Bible intensive and perhaps that’s because the wolves who are misleading you want to keep you ignorant so they can continue to use you (Hosea 4:6; Acts 17:10-11). When Jesus spoke of building His church (called-out ones), He was not speaking of something physical like a “church” building but rather the revelation truth of Himself in the hearts of His people (Matthew 16:17-19). You are not yet a discerning person but rather gullible and this is foolish….. Question: Did Jesus and His apostles ever collect one penny to building physical “church” building? yes or no please.
Most organizations, the vast majority functioning in buildings are misleading people and not preaching the original Gospel (Jude 3) You are deceived. The real Church – people of God- don’t need to go find a church because they are the church. Where does the Bible say to go find a church, to visit till you find one? And where does God’s Word say that you will lose your soul if you don’t find a church building to go to? Nowhere. There it is: You are being led to believe that attending the church building is salvation and not Christ – WHOM you have not once mentioned so you are an idolater.
So you have to wait till Sunday morning to preach the Gospel? Wow. There it is again – false church – where most pastors don’t want you doing the work of the ministry daily but rather to patronize their church business. You are telling on yourself. You are a product of a ministry based in a building that is misleading you. Not all are but it seems you are being misled by what you are saying which is a dead give away of what you’re being taught (Matthew 12:34; 5:16, 20). You didn’t mention Jesus Christ one time so obviously Heaven’s nail-scarred risen soon coming KING is not your first love nor being taught in your building based church (Colossians 2:18-19). This proves the point.
I don’t know what I am saying while I give you Scripture? Flash Point: Reading God’s Word and living by it is not “trying to be God.”

Neither Give Place to the Devil! [podcast]
“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27
“This is a really good message!” CB
— MANY have been blinded and duped to believe that either 1) there is no devil, or 2) there is a devil but he’s not active. But God’s Word tells us that Satan, the archenemy of Christ and mankind, is active and has an organized kingdom structure: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
Warning:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
The Bible tells us not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices and if we are not even aware of “the wiles of the devil,” how can we possibly discern and overcome them? (2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 6:11).
Communism, any communistic form of government arrangement, is an example of the work of Satan and we know this because it steals money and freedom from the people, kills people who don’t agree, and destroys everything good.
ANY person participating in the work of Satan is a child of the devil. Satan’s work is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Any questions? Any activity, operation, or plan to steal the freedom or money or anything from another, is the work of Satan himself. So is to kill or destroy people or property unjustly.
—- PEOPLE EVER MAKE UP THINGS ABOUT YOU? Jesus told us we would be falsely accused (Matthew 5:11) and He also tells us never to participate in a “false report” in any way (Exodus 23:1-2). The Greek word for “Satan” means accuser. ….“for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night…” (Revelation 12:7-12)
NEVER EVER DRAW CONCLUSION ON ANYTHING BEFORE YOU’VE HEARD THE WHOLE STORY
“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” Proverbs 18:13
“He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.” Proverbs 18:17
Are not our laws in this country crafted after this truth? “Innocent UNTIL PROVEN guilty.”…
God gave us these truths for the protection of all. If, as a disciple of Jesus, you have not yet been slandered, lied about, stick around, your time is coming. David had his Shimei, Jesus had His Judas, Paul had his Alexander the coppersmith.
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” Matthew 5:11
Slander includes bringing up a sin God has already forgiven someone, and/or repeating something you have no proof of.
Beloved saints, based on what Jesus foretold us of in Mathew 5:11, we’d actually better be concerned if no one is making up lies about us …. that just means Satan is upset with the fruitful relationship you have with Jesus who says “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26) In light of this truth, should we not be concerned if everyone likes us, if no one is slandering us?
It’s time to “rejoice” – to obey Jesus – when we are persecuted for that only proves that we are His!!!!!!
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12
If someone is not being lied about, persecuted, and afflicted, they are suspect. That person is very possibly a counterfeit, a tare among Christ’s wheat.

Wolves who Weaponize and Monetize! Beware!
Church membership as perpetrated today was never supposed to be. It’s not found in the Scriptures. Each of His people are members of His body, His one church. Real fellowship and assembling, getting together, is biblical and yet as has always been the case, sinful men use it to exploit those who gather to worship their LORD. At the beginning and end of His ministry, Jesus destroyed the wicked leaders who were robbing the people.
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.” Matthew 21:12-17
They are making merchandise of you just as Peter foretold! Read 2 Peter 2:1-3.
Assembling as believers is commanded by God and yet not in order to be exploited by the devouring wolves we’ve been warned to beware of (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 1 John 4:1-3, etc.). When God’s people gather, assemble, it is rather to be edified in Christ, richly blessed in the Word of God (Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 10:24; 2 Peter 2:1-3).
“If you go to the brick and mortar buildings and you don’t give your money then you’re nobody to them. I was out searching for a place where I could stay and hear the true gospel but that’s not happening in these brick and mortar buildings. These people need to truly repent.” Veronica
Church membership is just another attempt, lure, and seduction to misplace the faith and allegiance and identity of Christ’s saints away from Christ Himself (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5; 2 Corinthians 4:5; Colossians 2:18-19). Beloved of God, you are bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 7:23). This highest price—the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on a cross —was paid by the Son of God to purchase you to Himself and the Father (1 Timothy 1:15; 2:5-6; Titus 2:14, etc.). HE is your identity and thereafter His true remnant body who live for Him daily, who are crucified with Christ perpetually, not counterfeit church goers/members. Memorize Galatians 6:14. For more on the body of Christ, read Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 2 and 4. God’s Word is your final divine authority, not mere men or organizations of mere men (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21, etc.).
“Thank you for exposing this. I used to attend an assembly of God here in Olympia and I found it to be false. After a couple years my eyes were opened and I left because a lot of it was a new apostolic reformation or something similar to that they were just off, and at one point they had a homosexual male on the platform scolding the church for how they are mean and nasty to homosexuals because they think they’re better than them. I was attacked for forsaking the assembly and received other statements urging me to come back so I wouldn’t be sinning.” Bella
Anyone trying to get you to become a member of their church is seeking to monetize you to build a church business at your expense.
The reason why many professing Christian do not see the things we are seeing in the Word today in this message, is that they are not in God’s Word for themselves.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
Most who claim Christ don’t know His Word and many don’t want to know it, otherwise they’d be in it and it would be in them.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
QUESTION ASKED:
“What if someone is born again, biblically baptized by immersion, but not a formal member of any local church, however they attend church regularly. Could they partake in the Lord’s supper?”
REPLY:
Yes, who else is a higher authority than the Most High who saved you into His church/family? WHAT other “membership” would be needed as if Christ’s saving you and putting you into His family as a member of His body wasn’t enough? Read 1 Corinthians 12. You are a member of the one universal blood bought, born again body of Christ. Any other so-called church membership is a fraud and an afront to Christ. He didn’t die and rise again to then hand over the reigns to a bunch of self-serving enterprising, greedy pharisaical nicolaitan wolves. Read Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Revelation 2:6, 15. Oh and this isn’t even to mention that these fake “churches” are 501(C)(3) corporations. They have entered into an unholy alliance with the state and by doing so have affronted, rejected the Savior. They entered into a contract with the state unnecessarily and are now under the antichrist dominion of the state, who can tell them where and what they preach and can’t preach.”
“This church membership topic riles me up! Many judge us because we don’t go to church. I want nothing to do with how apostate they have become. Most are in willful sin and could care less. Jesus is not there!” Karen Cochran
One dear sister in Christ shared this:
NEARLY EVERY LOCAL “CHURCH” IS A COMPLETE SCAM IN THIS LATE HOUR, JUST AS WAS FORETOLD.
“Partnership, as defined by most ministries, today, is you send them a check every month & they send you a letter with some Scriptures. Very sad. However, I take refuge in this Scripture – 1 Peter 4:17. It’s not a political problem, it’s a spiritual problem. During the scamdemic, I suggested we give groceries to those who needed them, have a cookout with burgers & hotdogs, offer healing to those who needed it, fellowship among the people. The church had a wonderful full circle drive so the people could pull in, we’d fill their trunk with groceries, etc. I was told “NO.” I offered to handle all of it, pay for it, still “NO.” The pastor wanted to remain shut down. I went ahead & did it from my home. I hired a Christian group to sing, we preached the Word, fed the people, prayed for anyone who wanted it. Quitting should never be a part of our vocabulary. The religious manipulation is off the charts. Filling seats & manipulating people for financial gain is repulsive.” Charlotte
The fact that most brick and mortar church building based churches are not run biblically in no way negates the need for essential, real, biblical fellowship. To this point, a brother in Christ named Peter writes:
“People want faith community even if there is church membership and mandatory tithing. People want social life with other believers. It’s safe and not that sinful. Yet, I’m against church buildings but I believe in accountability to one another and God.” Peter
Church membership ropes you into an unholy alliance with the state and a state owned church. Example:
“During the scam-demic, many churches hid behind Romans 13 and said they must obey the government. Yet there are many examples in the Bible where God’s people did not obey because it went against God and was evil. Just as in modern day with all the covid supposed mandates. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego did not obey. Daniel, and the apostles. And many more disobeyed civil authorities when they demanded things that went against God and His will. The fake churches used Romans 13 because really they were afraid of standing for Jesus! So they cowered in fear! Hiding behind masks, closed doors and vax’s. But wearing masks was not such a big deal because most already are wearing them. Hiding behind their pharisaical and self-righteous attitudes pretending to holy.” Karen Cochran
God exposed these fake “churches” and fake “Christians” for all to see. “Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men“ (Acts 5:29). The false churches had already sold the Savior down the river for the state when they signed up for their 501C3—which is a contract with lots of small print. That contract they chose to enter into, makes those “churches” the government’s, the state’s churches. As we saw with the scamdemic, the state tells what they can preach, where they can preach, and when they can preach. I walked into a “church” to visit some friends during this period and was shocked that they all had on masks, were doing the 6-foot satanic ceremony rule etc. I departed. Sickening sacrilege.
“God’s true church can’t be contained in a building…God’s true church is being led out of these lukewarm businesses labeled as churches….God’s true church isn’t a man led organization ….it’s a relationship with GOD Himself. God’s true church isn’t a temple made by hands….their very own body is where God resides.” Kathy Lemonds
A MEME FROM A SNAKE “PASTOR”
In a meme, “Pastor” HB Charles Jr. is promoting Michael Foster, who writes:
“Nothing grows a Christian like a serious commitment to a single church week in and week out for years and years. Not conferences. Not social media. Not even personal devotions. The local church is where mature Christians are slowly forged in the fires of mundane faithfulness.” – Michael Foster
Notice “a serious commitment to a single church.” This is something God never commanded and it contradicts the essential responsibility He gave anyone who would be HIS disciple. The fruit of good church attenders makes it more than abundantly clear that this whole church attendance, church membership push is diabolical. It’s irrefutably producing bad fruit (Matthew 7:15-21). Let’s further test ‘pastor” Michael Foster’s statement, shall we? So John the Baptist, the apostles Paul, John, Peter, etc., didn’t attend church weekly or “week in and week out” and so you are saying they didn’t grow? Wow. Michael Foster is a typical programmed pawn—an indoctrinated dupe. He reeks of pride and greed (2 Peter 2:1-3). He’s building a church busine$$. Read his words again and think $ and how he is bearing false witness against the LORD he deceitfully pretends to represent as he is seeking to ensure his income for a long time to come. Wolves are making merchandise of their prey (2 Peter 2:1-3)!
“Never heard of the church building places of ‘worship’ until Constantine came along, the father of that demonic religion called ‘Catholic.'” Mark Owen
Seminarian marketing to farm the community—not to preach the whole counsel of God but rather gain more church members. They push for their pawns to invite others in order to get them more members which means more money. They campaign for more money for their unbiblical “church” projects, and yet never push for more personal Bible reading, evangelism, more of the crucified life, more worship of God, repentance, holiness, the fear of the LORD, etc…. and you still don’t see what’s going on?
Wow!
Okay so you go to a church building on Sunday morning yet don’t seek God in His Word and prayer daily? You are backslidden—which means you are away from God. Any person saved in the past and yet who is not presently hungering and thirsting after more of Christ, of His righteousness, has backslidden and in need of true repentance before it’s too late.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
“The activities and ‘fellowship’ only among themselves can be a big distraction to serving the Lord and doing His work and will. Not to mention keeping you enslaved to the false unbiblical doctrines they preach there. No one is allowed to disagree with the pastor(s) and leaders.” B.
Totally disagree with these “pastors” who are wolves building church businesses. How many “good church members” do we see winning souls, evangelizing, feeding Christ’s sheep His Word, denying self, taking up the cross, devouring God’s Word, living the crucified life, talking about judgment, repentance, overcoming all sin, and being ready for Christ’s return daily? None. Jesus says we know them “by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16, 20). 99% of local churches = bad fruit. The LORD’s true under shepherds are preparing and equipping Christ’s disciples “for the WORK of the ministry” not to do THEIR (the pastor’s) bidding, work in his little Sunday morning circus gathering where he performs and collects money. Only counterfeits prop up, support counterfeits (Ezekiel 22:25-27; Hosea 4:9; 2 John 10-11).
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
Here’s a biblical perspective: Being a good church member at a local “church” is never once taught in the Bible. No it’s something false prophets push for their own self-serving purpose and agenda. It’s for their benefit, not yours.
1 Chronicles 21:1 David was influenced by “Satan” in numbering the people …. this is a tool in order to control, manipulate and monetize the people…
GOD never called you to be a “good church member.” No, He called you to repent, to deny yourself, to live the crucified life, to seek His holy face daily with reckless abandon, to fellowship daily with His people, and to obey His Great Commission mandate.
THE FACT that you have no Great Commission involvement, no personal evangelism, no real fruit of good works in your life…. doesn’t this clearly reveal that you, as a good church member, are merely propping up a church busine$$, funding a fraud?
Can a man or woman of God sit back and just allow lost souls to go to hell without doing something about it, without having great conviction of conscience toward repentance, refreshing, and Great Commission Gospel action?
The next time some churchianity dupe begins to preach to you about “going to church”…. Tell them you don’t wait till Sundays, you fellowship in prayer and the Word daily with other saints of Christ (Acts 2:42). Ask them when the last time was that they personally preached the Gospel, fed the flock of God the Word of God, and led someone to Jesus…. mic drop, crickets.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
Okay so you go to a church building on Sunday morning yet don’t seek God in His Word and prayer daily? You are backslidden—which means you are away from God. Any person saved in the past and yet who is not presently hungering and thirsting after more of Christ, of His righteousness, has backslidden and is in need of true repentance before it’s too late.
The Truth about Fellowship and Going to “Church”
Perhaps a simple observance of the earliest followers of Jesus would inform us that they weren’t always “in church” serving some wolf but rather they went “every where preaching the word,” etc. (Acts 8:4), right? Oh and their gatherings were quite simple with no religious gold gathering bureaucracy! See Acts 2:42.
What they do is basically make you their good church member then get you to go tell others so that their church busine$$ grows that way. Notice how no one is being equipped “for the work of the ministry” (Ephesians 4:11-14) by being taught to minister and to do it out in the world daily…. to bring the blessing, the bless-ed Gospel to the people. No. Instead they become like little agents of their local church which is now their idol. They are sent out to invite folks to church instead of bringing the KING to those same people.
Wake up. Repent before God of wasting His time and resources on such wolves in sheep’s clothing. Deny self, take up the cross, follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).
“Being a Christian isn’t about making a weekly trip to a so-called church building. No, it’s about BECOMING the church, an actual place where Jesus lives.” Matt McMillen
“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:23
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Psalms 89:7
Good Church Member or True Disciple of Christ?
Wolves can be known in that they don’t get their prey in the Word for themselves (2 Timothy 2:15).
Going to be entertained on Sunday mornings as what some call “church” does not replace daily Bible reading and prayer and the cross (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:17, etc.).
Anyone not in God’s Word and living a life of prayer every day as they seek His holy face fervently, has told the LORD that He is not important to them … and they will not make it (Matthew 25:1-13).
There is NO work, no-thing transpiring on the earth more important than the work of our LORD’s Gospel. Most of the other things are vying for your affections. Read Luke 21 and Colossians 3:1-4. JESUS is coming.
Summation:
The instruction of Hebrews 10:24 is from God and yet never intended to give license to men to build their own kingdoms, to exploit and use the people for their own self-serving and greed-driven agenda.
Yes there are elders ordained in Christ’s body and they are to feed (John 21:15-17), to warn (Colossians 1:28), to teach sound doctrine to the members of Christ’s body (Titus 2:1), to teach them discernment (Ezekiel 44:23), etc. This can be in a regular meeting time and place. That’s not a sin. The sin comes in when we don’t see biblically stated things being accomplished and that’s how we know those are false shepherds and this would involve most local brick and mortar based “churches” today.
The truth is self-evident. Fruit. Not all but the vast majority of local churches are absolutely apostate as the Bible foretold (2 Timothy 3:13; Matthew 24:11; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, etc.). There is no blood of Jesus, no cross, no crucified life, no judgment to come, no sin, no repentance, no holiness, no readiness for Christ’s return, no KJB, etc. Apostasy. Fellowship as defined by Holy Writ is essential, not church attendance. Saints, people do not need us. They do not need our fellowship. They need Christ and His people and that should be 24/7. The headquarters of the true saint is the throne of our God, right? (Jeremiah 17:12; Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26). That doesn’t mean that attending a fellowship weekly is wrong and yet, is it a real fellowship? One should examine the fruit and ask: Am I growing in Christ? Am I growing to know Him (John 17:3)? Do I live a repented life and a crucified life? Is the extent of my relationship with the LORD going to church/church attendance? Do I care for and help the body of Christ? Do I evangelize? etc. The professing church has largely misused Hebrews 10:25. Fellowshipping, assembling is essential, is commanded, and that would be according to how Scripture defines assembly fellowship, not the modern church (Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:16, etc.). If one is part of a rare truly Christ-centered, Scripture-rich fellowship, that’s a blessing. The problem is that most aren’t. And they must be exhorted to “try the spirits” as 1 John 4:1 instructs.
