The Chosen and Jonathan Roumie Exposed [podcast]
Another vatican deception ensnares lazy counterfeits who refuse to get into the Word for themselves.
***BEWARE OF THE BANDWAGON BAFOONS!
The counterfeit chumps who jumped on the more than obvious THE CHOSEN vatican fraud movie bandwagon have even more egg on their face with the revelation of the pride abomination flag that was on the set. That tells us all we need to know about Johnathan Roumie and The Chosen.
“The Chosen” movie is just the latest “I-want-it-to-be-true-because-I’m-too-lazy-to-read-God’s-Word-for-myself” deception.
“And Hollywood loves the Chosen because it is presenting a false Jesus. The world loves their own! John 15: 19. The real Jesus of the Bible is the one they reject. Because they love their sinful ways and do not want to repent. Therefore they hate truth! And Jesus represents, truth holiness and righteousness.” Karen Cochran
The Chosen Movie is Antichrist…
Yet you have God-less counterfeits (antichrists) promoting it as a Bible movie. God told you to know Him through your own study of HIS own Word and not by watching Satan’s agents poison you via their hollyweird movies. Repent now.
“The Chosen actually portrays Jesus as a sinner! When Jesus was in the temple Mary and Joseph were looking for Him, Joseph says to Jesus, “what are you going to do for your mother for this transgression?” And then laughs. Any true discipline of Christ knows Jesus was without sin!! (2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22). They are humanizing Him and omitting His deity! Their words: “we are trying to make Him more relatable to modern audiences”! And the Chosen is probably the most popular show on the planet! Blasphemy and a MOCKERY of the Lord Jesus Christ! Any person claiming to be a follower of Christ could never sit and watch them mock the one they supposedly love! You might as well eat rat poison! This is a “damnable” heresy (2 Peter 2:1). And God will not be mocked! What you sow you will also reap! Gal 6:7. Consequences will be burning forever and ever in the eternal flames of hell!” Karen Cochran
“The Chosen’s director, Dallas Jenkins, said that 95% of The Chosen is not from the Bible (in other words not true but rather made-up stories about Jesus and the disciples) but ‘Christians’ love it. Care nothing of truth.” Danny Phillips
“Promoting a false Jesus! Dallas Jenkins also said we don’t ask people what they believe when we hire them. Um hello!! You make a movie about Jesus but you don’t care what they believe! 2 Corinthians: 14-17. People don’t have a love for the truth. For this reason God will send a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. 2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12.” Karen Cochran
The true remnant of Christ live by the Word of God as their final divine authority and are 4-0, having recently exposed the works of darkness titled The Chosen, He Gets Us, Jesus Revolution, and the Asbury revival scam!!!! – “Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4)
Jonathan Roumie has never once professed that he is born again or washed in the blood of Jesus, because he isn’t. Roumie is an idol worshipping roman catholic pagan who prays the rosary, a knight of malta secret society skull and bones occultist, and boasts of praying to the dead, which is forbidden by God (Deuteronomy 18:9-14). Roumie played the part of Jesus in “The Chosen,” and then played the part of sodomite catholic priest Lonnie Frisbee in the movie “Jesus Revolution.”
Notice, Jonathan Roumie has a video titled “testimony of divine mercy” but not being born again which means he’s not a Christian. This is all “another Jesus” and not the Jesus Christ of the Bible who said “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (John 3:3, 7; 2 Corinthians 11:2-5) … furthermore, Roumie’s pictures of him flashing his occultic skull and bones rings are everywhere. “Be not deceived.” (Galatians 6:7-8) Hint: There is no mercy, forgiveness, or salvation to anyone who is not genuinely born again. There is no such thing as a Christian who is not born again.
SO, just what spirit is working in the lives of all who promoted and defended “The Chosen”, the “Jesus Revolution,” “He Gets Us,” and the Asbury “revival”? Make not mistake: This is a wake up call for all who promoted these frauds to truly repent and be saved – before it’s too late. The fact that they didn’t see this clearly proves this is 100% proof that demons presently control all who defended these satanically backed productions. Jesus tells us that every one of them is “NOT of God” because they do not honor God’s Word (John 8:47). If they were “of God”, they’d never have promoted these antichrist corruptions (John 8:47). Jonanthan Roumie, in an interview, boast of praying to the dead. Yet in God’s Word, praying to the dead is called necromancy which is pretended communications with the dead (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).
Abominable Practices
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14
They Simply do not Love the LORD
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:37-38
Some people want the Bible acted out dramatically in a movie or docuseries format because they don’t love God enough to pay attention when they are reading His Word directly. Or, in most cases, they have no daily life in God’s Word in the first place – because He’s not important enough to them. In fact, they want mere man to tell them about God because they won’t repent and seek Him for themselves.
Only those who are born again and presently abiding in Christ will be with Him (John 3:3, 7; 15:1-6,etc.) | Making Peace with God
No true disciple of Jesus gets his view of God, his theology, from a movie. No, he studies God’s Word for himself (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). Those who don’t love God enough to study HIS Word for themselves, are not right with Him and won’t be with Him.
Any person who gets their view of God from a hollywood movie is in need of repentance for not studying God’s Word for himself as the LORD commanded us to do (2 Timothy 2:15).
WHEN God is not important to you, you don’t study and know His Word for yourself (2 Timothy 2:15). And, therefore you are a sucker for Satan’s productions, dramatized “Bible” stories, and presentations. And you will be “destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)
“The Word is so beautiful. I don’t listen, watch or desire man’s interpretation. God speaks and the Holy Spirit Is the perfect teacher.” Neisey
SO many people who claim to be following Christ won’t diligently study His Word for themselves (2 Timothy 2:15). They want some man to tell them about God instead of seeking the LORD for themselves. So, instead they read heretical new age antichrist misrepresentations like Jesus Calling, The Shack, or they watch “Bible” movies from hollyweird like The Chosen which is a fraudulent corruption.
To illustrate how many have been played for the fool, notice below the allegiance to his lord Satan of the man who plays John the Baptist in the movie The Chosen. He writes: “Our little Satanic film trends more than Jesus this Easter!” David Amito, who played the part of John the Baptist in The Chosen.
The above revelation makes is 100% certain that any and all persons who watched The Chosen are not being led by the Holy Spirit and are in utter need of swift, authentic repentance (Romans 8:14).
This means that anyone not being led by the Holy Spirit, according to the written WORD the Holy Spirit gave us, is “NOT of God.” (John 8:47)
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
UPDATE: Just watched another video of Jonathan Roumie videoing himself live and he is bragging about being Catholic, speaking at Catholic events, how he loves being a Knights Templar (satanic), bragging about them, and how he’s been asked and is going to be a papal knight…. antichrist… and bragging about meeting the pope soon in Rome.
BEWARE: There’s yet another end times “Bible” movie out. Just the latest of many. Most if not all of them have cursed roots, the Catholic church. Lazy, gullible dupes rush out to see “Bible” movies. They are too lazy to read God’s Word for themselves and so have no idea what’s added or left out. They don’t love Christ enough to listen to Him for themselves – by reading His words themselves as He commanded (John 5:39-40; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.).
SOON as you see a “Christian” movie being advertised and they show a catholic church, a temple of idols, as if that represents the true church Jesus has in the earth, you can know of certainty that the blind wolves who created that stupid movie are misleading people (Luke 6:39). The same is true when you dig a bit and find out that the movie is done by catholics who are pagan idolaters. Beware saints (1 John 4:1). The godly gain their view of God from HIS own mouth, straight out of HIS Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
Whenever the world touches the things of God, they do so to pervert it. Remember every unsaved person is under the control of Satan who is called “the prince of the power of the air.” (Ephesians 2:1-3)
Of The Chosen, Neil Hosken writes:
“The fact Mary Magdalena went back to her old profession was too much. We’ve had a few episodes at Bible study. Every week I’ve said, ‘This is not nearly like the Bible.’ You point out that people are too lazy to read Bible, they fall asleep at church even if they are listening to false teachers. So TV is an easy option. I could go on, but your point is spot on.”
WARNING: You are throwing your eternal soul to the winds of hell if you have chosen to depend on other men and their productions (movies, fake “bibles”, etc.) to tell you about your Maker and what He requires of you – instead of allowing God to speak for Himself to your heart and life directly via His Word (KJB for the English speaking). Hell awaits (Mark 8:34-38; Luke 16:19-31, etc.).
God’s Word will not, cannot get into you until you get into it!
100% Clear proof that anyone who ever promoted this production is under “the spirit of antichrist” and in need of real repentance now – before it’s too late (1 John 4:1-3). Whoever would do such could not have been led by the Holy Spirit of God but rather the enemy of all souls (Romans 8:14).
Any person who has promoted this ecumenical project is under the control of “the spirit of antichrist” and here’s the clear proof (1 John 4:1-3). The wise will repent. The foolish will only plunge deeper into darkness (Proverbs 9:8-10).
Are you bidding Godspeed to the wicked? If so, do you realize that you will be judged with the false prophets you endorsed?
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 9-11
The Drama Deception
The dramatic arts have been around for 2,500 years. “The history of theatre charts the development of theatre over the past 2,500 years.” So, why didn’t Jesus, why didn’t Paul or any of the other apostles create, set up, or send people to watch a dramatic, cinematic presentation of the Gospel? The only people doing such are those Satan is using to mislead you and others. And then they get you involved as you run out and tell others to watch THE CHOSEN or some other demonically rooted presentation. The mormons are behind this production. And we know that a blessed, good fruit cannot come out of a cursed root. Beware.
Watching a dramatic presentation of the Bible, supposedly, takes quite a lot of extra work to discern, to decipher if it’s true or not. This is about it – If you don’t go to the passages that are supposedly being acted out, portrayed in the drama, you don’t know what’s added or being left out or how accurate it is. Right? Right. Why bother? Why not just read God’s Word for yourself as He told you to do?
Any and every Bible dramatized production is always going to misrepresent what the Scriptures say – 100% of the time. The same goes for those who have re-translated the Bible and corrupted it horrifically in the new versions – when we already had the promised, preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples in the King James Bible.
The nearer we draw to the return of our LORD, the further the mainstream modern “church” departs from the original Gospel message.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Notice the Holy Spirit inspired instructed Timothy to “Preach the word” and not to dramatize or portray it. Stop and think about that.
Also the LORD foretells here that those professing Christ in the final days, those with a mere “form of godliness”, will “not endure (hold themselves accountable to) sound doctrine.”
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (stories).” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
To even allow someone else other than God, to explain who God is and His will, gives place to the devil whose mission is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10)
“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5
Only the pure Word of God clearly, divinely sets forth and projects the truth and image of God.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
Whenever man taints, changes, waters down, adds to, or removes from that plain, divinely inspired script of Holy Scripture, the content and projection, the message is changed, is altered, is falsified.
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19
Anyone who trusts man instead of God does not fear the LORD.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Those who go anywhere else except to God’s Word to study Him are erring at best. What they are doing is trusting man to tell them about God instead of hearing what God says about Himself for Himself.
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
When a person chooses to trust man and not God to tell you who He is, they forsake the LORD. Read Jeremiah 17.
Anyone who believes sinful man won’t change the message of God’s Word is very gullible.
Stop looking to sinful man to tell you about God! Seek God in His Word so He can reveal to you who He is the way He prescribed.
“Thanks for exposing this. Man choose movies (lazy) over reading the Bible (where the truth is).” Meme
One lady commented, calling anyone who doesn’t like The Chosen a Pharisee. One can observe that whenever someone is emotionally attached to a supposedly biblical production, even when it’s not biblical (which is normally the case), everyone who disagrees with them, is now a “Pharisee.” And, yet they have no biblical foundation for what they are saying. The Chosen is a deception. Good fruit cannot come from a cursed root (Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 12:33, etc.). Stop expecting such!
All who trust in man are cursed.
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” Jeremiah 17:5-6
Please explain how a cursed root can bring forth good fruit? Waiting… and if you even attempt to explain such, you call the Son of God a liar (Matthew 12:33).
If you bought this “Chosen” package, satan and his human agents are laughing you all the way to the bank and perhaps to hell.
Those who aren’t diligently, daily, engrossed in God’s Word don’t even know it and therefore can’t tell what’s being perverted, what’s true and what’s false when they watch some supposedly dramatic presentation of it. Lack of knowledge of God’s Word is intentional and brings destruction – now and forever.
“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
God gave us His written Word in order to know Him – straight from HIS mouth with no poisoning, tainting, slighting, or adding to from sinful men. And, He commands You to study it in order to know Him.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God (YOU DO IT), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
One can only rightly divide the Word of truth if he’s studying it for himself.
Isn’t it high time to repent and cut off the sensual, the way something makes you feel? Satan can make you feel all kinds of good as he leads you straight to hell. Die to it. Crucify the emotional sentiment and walk in the truth.
Jonathan Roumie is an Antichrist
In a recent video interview, Jonathan Roumie, sitting with Catholic pagan, occultic worship garb hanging all over the wall behind him, says that his favorite thing about being Catholic is the Eucharist, the diabolical Catholic communion – where they pretend to be re-sacrificing Jesus at every mass which is an antichrist blasphemous ritual that denies the perfect one-time payment for all sins at the cross where Jesus declared “It is finished” which mean “paid in full.” (John 19:30; Hebrews 10:10; 1 Peter 3:18) | Catholic Mass Exposed by Ex-Catholic Priest
Had friends telling me to watch it but something inside said “no” as usual…. BECAUSE WE HAVE A BIBLE….. hell bound people don’t love Jesus enough to read HIS Word for themselves! Were those friends who told me to watch The Chosen being led by the Holy Spirit or Satan? Satan.
“For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)” Ephesians 5:9
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5
With no exception, all true followers of Jesus uphold His written Word as the final divine authority of their lives and the Christian faith.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
God gave us His written Word and nothing else for …
- Doctrine
- Reproof
- Correction
- Instruction in righteousness
No man can possibly be “perfect (mature in Christ), throughly furnished” without a through and through knowledge of the Word of God.
The true disciple of Jesus lets God speak for Himself – in HIS Word where the very “thoughts of his heart” are revealed to us (Psalms 33:11).
God has chosen to teach us, to reveal to us who He is through His Word.
“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4
ANY person who was saved in the past and is now not in God’s Word daily, is backslidden (Luke 4:4; James 1:23-25).
If you aren’t in God’s Word daily, He’s not your “first love” and He’s calling you to repent before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5).
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5
There’s only one place of protection – God’s Word. Get into it or perish. Repent now.
You claim to love God and yet He’s not important enough to you to be in His Word daily? Please explain…. better yet, repent and return to Jesus as the “FIRST love” of your life before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5; 3:15-19, etc.). King James Bible and not the many cheap substitute fake “bibles.” | Bible Version Issue – Fake “Bibles” Exposed
Those truly known of the LORD don’t go to sinful men to find out who the LORD is and what His instructions are. No, instead, they learn who He is by what HE says in His Word and are therefore never moved or run out to watch any man’s productions about God… especially not from a pagan (mormon) source.
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21
It’s time for you to shut your mouth and get into God’s Word for yourself as if your life depended on it – because it does.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
Those who look to a movie or book or man’s productions for their theology do so because they are lost souls. Every true disciple of Jesus gets his view of God, his doctrine, straight from the LORD – in the Bible! Repent now sinner.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:33-34
There’s no way a blessed fruit can come forth from a cursed root. The root determines the truth (Romans 11:16). The fact that this movie involves mormons tells us all we have to know about it. The Root Determines the Fruit [podcast]
A cursed root equals cursed fruit.
“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:20-22
Instead of studying God’s Word daily for themselves as the LORD commanded, the foolish counterfeits among us are always looking for the next documentary, docuseries, or movie satan’s pawns put out. These people are departed from Christ – they do not love the truth and God Himself has turned them over to “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be DAMNED.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) Yes, if you don’t love and obey the truth of the Word of God you are under “strong delusion” and guaranteed to be “damned” to hell and the lake of fire eternally, irrevocably.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that PERISH; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
Those not in Christ truly, loving and obeying His truth are under “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
Ever notice that the same demonic pawns who run around encouraging everyone to watch The Chosen or some other delusion are never heard encouraging those around them to GET INTO GOD’S WORD for themselves?! God commanded it and all who refuse prove they do not love the LORD and His truth and will perish, sure as they are breathing. Repent now vile sinner. Lay down your life and follow Jesus for real.
“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
“Jonathan Roumie, the “Jesus” actor from THE CHOSEN is a CATHOLIC knighted into the order of the KNIGHTS OF MALTA.” Erik van Niekerk
“Come out of her” or perish.
Stop to discern: There is no cross, no repentance, no saving grace, no blood of Jesus, no Christology (the study of Christ), no holiness, no Heaven, no hell, no salvation by grace through faith, and no return of Christ in this false gospel message. These people are agents of Satan and are “accursed” of God for preaching “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) WHO do you fear? God is calling you to “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Revelation 18:4)
“You know a Jesuit was used as a Consultant in this made up series don’t you? A lot of Catholicism. I agree with many things Newsmax or sometimes what I call Faux News says. I noticed though Every time Newsmax interviews a Baptist or whatever, the images they show of a church is always full of Catholic stuff. They usually say people of Faith instead of Christians. They interviewed a guy not long ago and again, you have images of a child praying with the beads and crucifix. A big Cathedral looking building, subtil just like the serpent. They talk all patriotic, but they lean toward and lure people toward Rome. Same with Fox. They’re all Catholic on both stations, even liberal Rachel Maddow is of MSNBC. Her and Roger Aisles who was 2nd in charge of Fox when he was alive were college friends. Rachel has said she’s gay and very Catholic. Some say they think the Antichrist will come from Europe, but most people that started the U.S. came from Europe. It seems Rome has it’s claws in High places of Government, Law, Media, and Entertainment in America. Yea this trash TV series I see people leaving comments on how they love it and some say ‘that’s just how I imagined Jesus to be’. ‘Imagined’ being the key word here, all it does is add and take away from God’s Word.” Dale
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11
SO you have the wherewithal to tell someone to watch the Catholic production called “The Chosen” but not to tell people to get into God’s Word for themselves? Repent now and be saved before it’s too late you vile sinner. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17, etc.
FROM A FRIEND: “This is a post that was sent to me over the chosen, I really liked this show, but the director is ecumenical, he is being interviewed by a Mormon. And Dallas says that Bible believing Christians believe in the same Jesus. I stopped watching and supporting it.”
“How sad to be given the privilege to play the part of Jesus, yet to be under the influence of satan. He is an actor getting paid and nothing else to go with it but evil in his real life. Never watched the Chosen and will cross it off my list.” Ron
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
There’s no such thing as an idol worshipping born again Christian.
2 Corinthians 11:2-5 speaks of “another Jesus” and that would be what Catholics worship.
Idols and Devils are Inseparable – All who worship 1 or more idols have devils!
“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship DEVILS, and IDOLS of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:” Revelation 9:20
The Roman Catholic Cult is the Land of Idols, Soul Damning Idolatry
The ancient Roman cult teaches that the elements, the wheat and wine, literally become the actual, literal body and blood of Jesus Christ when the costume-clad sinner “priest” waves his hand over those elements.
CATHOLIC EUCHARIST: Hocus Pocus, and wham, wheat becomes the eternal God of the whole Universe, right? This is bizarre at best. You are smarter than that. Where’s the DNA proof? There is none and will never be. Many Christians believe that the Christian tradition of communion is the same as the Catholic tradition of the Eucharist. But this is not so. The Eucharist (i.e., Transubstantiation) is a Catholic term for communion when the bread and the wine supposedly become the very, the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ; thus when taken, the partaker is said to experience the presence of Jesus but we know that’s a demon, “another Jesus” and not Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 11:4). These transformed elements are placed in what is called a monstrance and can then be worshipped as if worshipping Jesus Himself. The implications are tied in with salvation. In the Catholic system, with the Eucharist, salvation becomes sacramental which is a participation in the mass which is a dark ritual that supposes to re-sacrifice Christ. And that means they deny His perfect sacrifice on the cross. It denies His one time sinless sacrifice He made on the cross and said “It is finished” which means “paid in full.” (John 19:30) This is diametrically opposed to biblical doctrine, essential of justification by faith in Christ alone (Romans 5:1-2, etc.). This mystical experience called the Eucharist is clearly a form of gross idolatry and more as well as the very heart of Catholicism. The Catholic religion stands or falls on this their most cardinal dogma. And it’s a fail because they simply cannot prove to the DNA level with empirical evidence that the elements become anything other than simple wheat (bread) and wine (or grape juice). Debunked.
WILL THE REAL SAVIOR PLEASE STAND UP – is a wheat wafer the way people, eternal souls are saved from sin and eternal damnation? OR is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, the only way, as the Bible teaches us? (John 14:6) Was a piece of wheat born of a virgin? Did a piece of wheat die on that cross? Was a piece of wheat raised from the dead? OR, was the Son of God? Jesus’ teaching in John 6 is not about communion. Has nothing to do with it.
CATHOLIC TEACHING ON TRANSUBSTANTIATION is a complete theological statement and the name of a doctrine, out of which springs the most astounding set of beliefs and practices that have ever been taught in the name of religion. Yet few people know what the Catholic Church actually believes and teaches concerning this subject.
>>>TRANSUBSTANTIATION CHALLENGE: PLEASE PROVIDE “EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE” – If the wheat wafer and wine TRULY become the actual and literal body & blood of Jesus Christ, as the Catholic church teaches, then let’s do a DNA test to see what the composition of the elements truly are. That fair? Clue: Do they taste like flesh and blood, or bread and wine?
CATHOLIC MASS IS CLEARLY A MOCKERY AND BLASPHEMY AGAINST CHRIST’S FINISHED WORK – it supposes to re-sacrifice Christ who paid ONCE for all sins on the cross according to God’s Word.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS A RELIGION OF MERE SINFUL MEN WHILE CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT JESUS AND HIS WORD AND HOW HE DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
THE MASS IMPARTS NO GRACE – ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT drinking blood is forbidden by God? Lev 7:27 “Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people” BOTH TESTAMENTS CONDEMN DRINKING BLOOD – ACTS 15:28. So, why would the Son of God instruct us to do such (transubstantiation)??
Ask yourself …DID JESUS TELL HIS DISCIPLES TO GATHER WITH CUPS IN HAND UNDER THE CROSS WHILE HE WAS DYING SO THEY COULD GET SOME OF HIS LITERAL BLOOD TO DRINK? WHY WOULD THE SON OF GOD TEACH ANYONE TO DRINK BLOOD – SOMETHING HE FORBIDS?
JESUS WOULD NEVER DO A “MIRACLE” (transubstantiation) CONTRADICTING WHAT HE ALREADY TOLD US IN HIS WORD – that drinking blood is a sin?
Jesus says we must repent to be saved (Luke 13:3,5) NO REPENTANCE NEEDED TO SIMPLY INGEST (EAT) A PIECE OF WHEAT weekly, right?
HELL IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO WENT TO A CHURCH BUILDING AND TOOK A PIECE OF WHEAT IN THEIR MOUTHS – THINKING THEY WERE RECEIVING JESUS.
Do YOU personally believe the elements become the ACTUAL body and blood of Jesus????? Are you that dishonest? If this were true, where’s the DNA evidence that the wheat you eat is Jesus’ actual flesh and the wine is His literal blood?
Biblical communion is a memorial of the love of Jesus for us, of His death on the cross, not the worship of a piece of mere wheat, deceitfully pretending to cannibalistically eat the actual, literal body of Jesus, something He never told us to do, nor drink His blood. No, instead of drinking His literal blood, the Bible says we are justified by God as we have “faith in his blood.” (Romans 3:25)
Salvation is through Christ, the divine Person. The Catholic “jesus” is a piece of wheat that supposedly becomes God.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

8 Classes of Sinners Guaranteed to Spend Eternity in the Lake of Fire [podcast]
8 Classes of Sinners Guaranteed to Spend Eternity in Hell
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
“The second death”
[which is the second death] The second death is the lake of fire, or the second separation from God in hell (Rev_2:11; Rev_20:14; Rev_21:8).
Of Revelation 21:8, Adam Clarke writes the following:
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful – Δειλοις· Those who, for fear of losing life or their property, either refused to receive the Christian religion, though convinced of its truth and importance; or, having received it, in times of persecution fell away, not being willing to risk their lives.
And unbelieving – Those who resist against full evidence. And sinners, και ἁμαρτωλοις, is added here by about thirty excellent MSS., and is found in the Syrian, Arabic, some of the Slavonic, and in Andreas and Arethas. On this evidence Griesbach has admitted it into the text.
The abominable – Εβδελυγμενοις· Those who are polluted with unnatural lust. (sodomites, lesbians Romans 1)
And murderers – Φονευσι· Those who take away the life of man for any cause but the murder of another, and those who hate a brother in their heart (.
And whoremongers – Πορνοις· Adulterers, fornicators, whores, prostitutes, and rakes of every description.
Sorcerers – Φαρμακοις· Persons who, by drugs, philtres, fumigations, etc., pretend to produce supernatural effects, chiefly by spiritual agency.
Idolaters – Ειδωλολατραις· Those who offer any kind of worship or religious reverence to any thing but God. All image worshippers are idolaters in every sense of the word.
And all liars – Και πασι τοις ψευδεσι· Every one who speaks contrary to the truth when he knows the truth, and even he who speaks the truth with the intention to deceive; i.e., to persuade a person that a thing is different from what it really is, by telling only a part of the truth, or suppressing some circumstance which would have led the hearer to a different end to the true conclusion. All these shall have their portion, το μερος, their share, what belongs to them, their right, in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death, from which there is no recovery.
“21:8 But not all are overcomers. Some are cowardly, afraid to confess Christ; unbelieving, unwilling to trust the sinner’s Savior; sinners, all those who remain in their sins, whether guilty of the gross iniquities listed here or not; abominable, given over to disgusting immorality; murderers, malicious and savage killers; sexually immoral, practicing fornication and other forms of sexual sins; sorcerers, those who traffic with evil spirits; idolaters, insulting God by worshiping images; and all liars, compulsive deceivers. These will be assigned to the lake of fire as their final destiny.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. … 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:10, 14-15
One source notes the following:
“Brimstone and fire” refers to the fiery imagery of divine judgment and eternal punishment found in the Bible. It symbolizes God’s wrath, often describing the fate of sinners in hell, and is a phrase used in religious sermons and literature. “Brimstone,” an old word for sulfur, is a key component of this imagery, evoking a smell and heat associated with inescapable, fiery destruction.
Biblical origins
Old Testament:
The phrase originates in the King James translation of the Old Testament, used to describe God’s destruction of enemies. A key example is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
New Testament:
The imagery is used to describe eternal damnation, a common theme in both the Old and New Testaments. In the book of Revelation, for example, it describes those who worship the beast being tormented in a lake of fire and brimstone.
Etymology:
The phrase is a calque of the Biblical Hebrew and Ancient Greek words for “sulfur and fire”.
Geological evidence:
Archaeological and geological evidence of sulfur deposits and charred formations in areas like the Dead Sea region have been noted as consistent with biblical descriptions of fire and sulfur-related events.”
“But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:12

The Purpose of Elders in Christ’s Body [podcast]
There is no more important work transpiring in the earth today than the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.).
“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21
In short, the authentic under-shepherd ordained of Jesus Himself (John 15:16), will give up his life in this fleeting world for the sheep of Christ – just as the Great Shepherd of the sheep did on the cross. Such a divinely called-out man, will teach only God’s pure Word and watch for the souls of the LORD’s people (Hebrews 13:7, 17). He will take up the cross – live the crucified life – and therefore ministry will not be about them but rather about Jesus and His beloved sheep for whom He shed His blood and is soon returning (Philippians 3:17-21).
Also in Hebrews 13 …. The true elder of Christ will, according to Hebrews 13, do two things:
- Speak the pure Word of God to you and get you into it:
“Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation (their way of life).” Hebrews 13:7
2. Will in the fear of God pray for and “watch for your soul.”
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17
In review, just WHAT are the earmark fruits of true under-shepherds as opposed to the many wolves among us?
- True under shepherds relentlessly teach God’s Word – “who have spoken unto you the word of God.” (Hebrews 13:7)
- They are there for you! – “they watch for your souls.” (Hebrews 13:7)
IF they aren’t preaching God’s pure Word to you, fearing God, not you…. and watching for your eternal soul, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Repent and run to Jesus beloved.
Let me add that if they are using a fake “bible” instead of the King James Bible, that should be a clue to the darkness they walk in (Matthew 7:16, 20).
Elders are ordained of God and yet never to take His place nor to negate our own personal responsibility to seek God daily for ourselves. Yet, we do not need a preacher. Why? – because we each have a Bible. Read it. We don’t need a preacher to tell us what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning of the LORD yourself. Today is your day to take personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Stop depending on a preacher or preachers. Devour God’s Word daily. Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) …… Paul instructed Timothy to “Study” the Word (2 Timothy 2:15).
Today we have all around us church-goers who are not possessed with a heart after God, do not diligently study and read and live out Christ’s Word. This lukewarm, world-loving fruit clearly reveals the prophesied priesthood of wolves (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; Matthew 24:11; Acts 13:22; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.). Until a pastor has provoke you to get into God’s Word for yourself, to seeking His holy face daily in prayer, he has failed. If has has diligently, biblically sought to do these essentials, and people have refused God’s Word, refused to seek His holy face continually, the blood is off of his hands (Ezekiel 3:18-20).
“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18-20
When you check the fruit of a fellowship, check, discern if the individual saints are vibrant in Christ, diligently seeking His holy face, in His Word, living a life of prayer, denying self, taking up the cross daily, and following Jesus. This sounds like what we see of the earliest saints in the book of Acts, right? Boom. Remember how Peter preached and 8,000 were saved and how the Berean believers put Paul’s teaching to the Scriptural test? (Acts 2-4; 17:10-11, etc.).
Sadly, usually you see a bunch of people who are proud to be a member of a church with none of the biblical fruit list above.
The apostle Paul kept a close watch on those he oversaw.
“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.” 1 Thessalonians 3:5
Having a physical “church” building makes no mere man, no supposed elder, an official representative of Heaven. Feeding the sheep of Christ with His pure Word and equipping them “for the work of the ministry” is the mark of a true under-shepherd of Christ (John 21:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-12, etc.). Discern. Beware. Inspect the fruit. Jesus nor any of His holy apostles collected a penny to build a building called “church.” No, they went to the people – to serve them instead of having the people come to them.
Let’s test that…. How many people do you personally know who are good church members, Sunday morning church attenders, and ALSO true, daily disciples whom God is using everywhere they go? Think about that…. How many true disciples of Jesus do you know who are involved in a Sunday morning church program? If you personally know even one true disciple, that’s a miracle and in spite of his attendance at the Sunday morning circus called “church.”
Unlike Christ’s apostle Paul, most in leadership today foster in their prey a dependence on THEM and their church business instead of prayerfully, biblically exhorting people to depend on Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).
Like Christ’s apostle Paul, the true elder labors relentlessly to see you grounded in Christ – not in him or his ministry or church, but in CHRIST! Listen closely:
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7
It simply doesn’t matter what else he’s doing, if any minister is not prayerfully, biblically, perpetually rooting and grounding you in Christ, he’s a fraud. Run.
Like Jesus and His holy apostle Paul, part of grounding you ever more deeper in Christ, is warning you to “beware” of the “many false prophets.” (Matthew 24:11)
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:8-10
SO, he’s not exhorting and admonishing you to seek and know the LORD in an ever deepening fashion? He’s not equipping, maturing you “for the work of the ministry” and yet you still consider him one of the LORD’s under-shepherds? He’s not getting YOU into the Word (2 Timothy 2:15) for yourself? That’s a false leader who is entertaining the goats instead of feeding and equipping the saints! Run! (See Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.)
False leaders divert the attention, the heart affections, the resources, and the energy of God’s people away from Christ and simple obedience to His Great Commission mandate. YOU are personally responsible! Waste is rampant! If you support, “bid God speed” (2 John 7-11) to a false leader, false ministry, then you will perish with them!
The divine purpose for elders is not to dominate nor entertain the LORD’s sheep but rather to help their joy in Christ! Get to know this verse saints:
“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24
There is the citing of elders in the Word and their divine purpose – to humbly serve God by helping His sheep grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6).
Christ’s apostle Paul desired the “perfection” (maturity in Christ) of the people of God (Ephesians 4:11-15).
“For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.” 2 Corinthians 13:9
Like Apollos, Elders among God’s people must remain teachable to God’s Word and simply and only teach and preach his word (Proverbs 9:9; Acts 18:26). Elders true to the LORD act on his behalf and never out of a personal agenda for self gain (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.). They live the crucified life (Galatians 2:20).
We are to humble ourselves like Apollos did and learn the way of our God more perfectly from each other, via God’s Word – as Apollos learned it more fully from Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:24-28).
Beloved Apollos was a very effective, anointed communicator of God’s Word and yet, was in need of maturing, of being perfected. So, God sent to him an elder and his wife, Aquila and Priscilla. Apollos humbly received the LORD’s elders and His grace to grow in Christ:
“And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.” Acts 18:24-26
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 wherever they go. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.
The Purpose of Kingdom Elders:
“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
Philip Lye writes: “Paul says in Ephesians 4, that he gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. He expressly says these people are given to mature the saints, to equip them for their ministry and growth in Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that many false prophets and messiahs will arise deceiving many. They are simply functions that God has given and not titles which the proud use to strut about like a peacock. Most of these people that I have met (and I have seen a lot of famous ones) are false, proud and arrogant and not servants of the the Lord Jesus Christ. I have seen humble genuine ones who move mightily in truth, calling people to repentance and right relationship with Jesus and a demonstration of genuine miracles and wonders. They are to be genuine servants to God’s people.”
VIEW this following verse from Solomon’s day in light of our calling and work till Christ returns:
“Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.” 2 Chronicles 8:16
Let’s read a larger portion of this important passage in Ephesians 4. God fearing under-shepherds must prayerfully labor for and be intent upon seeing God’s people grow in the grace of Christ to the full stature of maturity He has ordained!
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-15
The Error of Using Titles in the Modern Church World
God sovereignly and exclusively ordained MEN to feed, lead, and equip His saints (Ephesians 4:8-11). Women are called to and seen doing many ministry functions in the New Testament but never as a leader in a position specifically designated in Scripture for men.
Repent. The American “church” is a catastrophe of spineless moral-coward Ahabs who’ve allowed, suffered women to lead, and the fall out is incalculable (Revelation 2:20-24).
GOD’s men must never allow women to lead where they (men) are called to lead (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).
To put yourself under the ministry of a woman who is acting as an elder among God’s people, is to defy Christ, and to agree with Christ’s arch enemy and his Jezebels and to bring severe destruction on the people of God (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).
JUST because a woman can run her mouth and even genuinely have a gift of the Spirit DOES NOT mean she’s an elder in the body of Christ – which is divinely reserved non-negotiably for men, male elders (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:2). | Beware of Scripture-Twisting Jezebels
We must humbly confess before our LORD and God that we have nothing and are nothing without Him!
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
God can use us in spite of having a seminary or Bible college background…. If we will truly denounce it, lay it all down, and truly submit to Him – just like Paul did (Philippians 3). Otherwise we will join the epidemic of false prophets who build their own kingdoms in this fleeting life and spend eternity in hell (2 Peter 2:1-3). Paul counted his “higher education” as “dung” to know and serve Christ (Philippians 3).
BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, BY DEFINITION, ELDERS ARE NOT SEMINARIANS (UNLESS THEY’VE DENOUNCED SUCH) BUT RATHER PROVEN MEN OF GOD WHO HAVE WALKED WITH CHRIST FOR SOME TIME AND ARE SEASONED IN DOCTRINE AND GODLY CHARACTER AND ABLE TO HELP ASSIST OTHER BELIEVERS GROW IN GRACE (Philippians 3).
In part, we can be transformed in our thinking/perspective of what leaders are seen to be in the apostate modern church vs the biblical definition of an elder which is a humble servant with sound doctrine and a godly life (1 Timothy 3; 2 Timothy 3:10; Titus 1-2, etc.).
Christ’s kingdom ordination is not like the ordinations of many denominations….. To ordain seems to mean to recognize the work of GOD in a man’s life and to set him forth into ministry as by the leading of the Spirit of God.
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16
ORDAIN
G5087
τίθημι

tith’-ay-mee
A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): – + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.
Total KJV occurrences: 96
“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.” Acts 13:1-3
Denominations of mere men set their elders forth to do THEIR bidding, to perpetuate their own cause and existence, to build their false church businesse$. God fearing assemblies of the saints simply recognize Christ’s work in a man and prayerfully send him forth to do GOD’s work. They worship and exalt Christ whole heartedly!
MINISTRY is about feeding sheep, not entertaining goats (John 21:15-17). So, when you see a “minister” entertaining, you know he himself is a goat (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).
What True Elders Teach
“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5
THERE is nothing good in us except Christ. We are not featured but JESUS is. “We preach CHRIST crucified” (1 Cor 1:23). All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and HE is the One and only righteous Redeemer whom we communicate to others (1 Cor 9:16; Rom 7:18 etc.).
Jesus’ true disciples are crucified vessels who preach with His authority, unlike the lame leaders we have today (Matthew 7:28-29). True Gospel preaching rocks the world of those who hear it – it never coddles people in their sin. That’s the work of wolves! Beware!
Godly Elders Teach God’s People to Discern
“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23
Why don’t some leaders teach discernment?
“Anyone that profits off of you being blind, will never teach you or inspire you to see.” unknown
Any man in leadership who doesn’t warn you of false prophets as did Christ and His apostles, is a wolf who does not want you to see who he truly is.
God’s people are to continue to learn to discern – to test, to weigh all things against Holy Scripture. Ungodly elders have the “I said it so it’s true” notion. Or the “We’ve always taught that” or “That’s what we believe” philosophy. Not. What saith the Scriptures is what every true follower of Jesus asks, as he searches God’s Word to ascertain truth. Every student of Christ should become extremely familiar with Acts 17:10-11.
QUESTION RECEIVED:
“I am curious as to how one man is considered the other’s elder? Do they attend the same church gathering thus, he is a church elder or is it through willful submission of the younger as an understudy or simply due to the fact that one man is older?”
REPLY:
Great question brother. Elder, biblically seems to mean older and more seasoned in God’s Word, having walked with the LORD longer. Two views come to mind: 1. The organic body of Christ, the kingdom relationships we have, where there appear men in our lives who are seasoned and there’s an automatic elder/young relationship (that’s how it is here)… and 2. Where a person attends a church group and they have their elder in a more organized fashion as you mentioned…. that help?
Nothing brings definition to this like God’s Word as you know…. and notice how it begins with “The elders which are AMONG you”….
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:1-6
