Riveting video – please share this post: Most local gatherings are nothing but a show, a stage and a cast of actors … watch this: The False Church System Deception. The modern church is a far distance from what we see in the pristine setting of Acts 2:42-47.
Put on a Show and Jesus Will Go!
Organic, Spirit-led, home grown Bible fellowships is what Jesus and His apostles began with. Have you prayed about beginning/hosting one? That’s how the earliest believers gathered (Acts 2:42-47). There were no seminarians to poison things and exercise undue control and influence (Colossians 3:16).
To underscore the level of undue, usurp-ish control many times seen in the apostate visible church world, one sister testifies:
“Another lie of the apostate churches!! When I left the lying building!! The pastor told them I was not of them!!! You got that right. It was a place of bondage.!!” Sherry Todd
SUPPORTING AN EAR-TICKLING LOCAL COUNTRY CLUB OR CIRCUS CALLED “CHURCH” IS NOT WHAT JESUS HAD IN MIND WHEN HE SAID “I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH.” (MATTHEW 16:18)
“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And NOT HOLDING THE HEAD (JESUS), from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19
“In most churches today I’ve noticed that the focus of many services was on having fun rather than on worshipping the Lord. I was troubled by an emphasis on being entertained instead of being led in worship. There is more commotion and emotion than devotion.” Rich Brown
Most local churches are a staged act. They bring in the good music and the guys who can draw a carnal crowd. By doing so they alienate the One they claim to be serving – Jesus Christ. Their heart cry is not “We would see Jesus” but rather, let’s church the un-churched and build a large country club! Let the smoke roll off the stage and the coffee, cookies, and music flow! (John 12:21)
GOING into today’s modern churches looking for nourishing, nutritive spiritual truth, is like going to a candy factory look for good health foods. Not going to happen. Modern churches, when they do sprinkle in a little “bible” it from one of Satan’s new “bibles” and not the King James Bible. The attendees aren’t learning Christ from Scripture, how to live the crucified life, preparing for the return of Christ, repentance, a holy life, etc., but rather being steeped into a cotton candy type entertainment based community. Run!
WHAT IS COMPLETELY LOST IS THAT JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, THE DIVINE PERSON OF THE ETERNAL WORD OF GOD, IS THE GOSPEL!
What we have to realize is that if a man can get up and speak freely and in an engaging fashion, he can build a gathering. The masses are not circumcised in heart and therefore are in the flesh and so are drawn in by fleshly things like an eloquent speaker and good music – in place of Christ. But that doesn’t make it all biblical. We were warned of this specifically (2 Timothy 4:2-4). We must view/discern all things through the Holy Scriptures which is only possible in the life of one who is diligently and daily in God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:15). Otherwise, such a person is walking in darkness (Psalms 119:130). A New Testament gathering is to worship One, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1-2) and not to be centered around a certain mere man’s personality and his ability to get up and hoop and holler and draw a crowd. Regrettably, so many local gatherings which claim to be Christ’s church are build upon this exact model which is a faulty foundation. But Paul refused to build such a gathering – Read 1 Cor 1:29-2:5. We must realize this: The Word of God is the most powerful thing in existence and always has been and always will be. Deceivers self-servingly use God’s Word to gain fame, power, prominence, and money in this fleeting world. The preach His holy Word or some semblance of it to gain these things. THEY are glorified, not Christ – who is the central Theme of all of Holy Scripture and to be preached and magnified. See Colossians 2:18-19. Study Colossians 1-2. Peter warned us of this exact thing in 2 Peter 2:1-3. The true New Testament church is build upon CHRIST and no mere sinful man. Listen to the great apostle Paul who clearly conveys his knowledge of the very phenomenon we are discussing here: “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:1-2) … “For we are not as many, which corrupt (adulterate, corrupt) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” (2 Corinthians 2:17) Please view this brief, powerful video on what Christ intends for His people/church to be as opposed to modern beguilers and the den of thieves they have concocted and call local churches (Acts 20:29-32).
“I left and am now free from the bondage of their false doctrine. What a great relief when I left also my church and find the true Bible-believing Christian fellowship here.” Eliset Igat
MANY love their mere “form(ula) of godliness” which is religion – where YOU/THEY are in control instead of truly surrendering and allowing Jesus to lead your every thought and every step (2 Timothy 3:5; John 5:30).
Jesse DeGrazio writes: “‘Die to serve’ are the operative words here. Too many congregations talking about self self self SELF! Self help with this, self help with that. The Selfish gospel. Our Lord and King served. We must serve.”
Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25 – The Bible commands us to fellowship yet the modern physical building based churches are mostly apostate businesses for the glory of false leadership. The early church began house to house and they worshiped Christ purely (Acts 2:42-47).
“Wow..I just listened to this video..I’m in tears I don’t even know where to start! But this is how I’ve been feeling from what I have observed right here locally:(..to start…30-40 minutes of a Preacher on Sunday morning is NOT enough!! How many times have I said and thought why oh why can’t we spend the day together?? I’ve also wondered why there isn’t evangelism training in the church?? Shouldn’t all Christians be doing this??! I just don’t think Christians are being trained up!! How many times has the preacher made a slight joke as he looks at his watch and says “OK I’ll make this short I know ya’ll wanna get to go eat some where:(…no wonder we identify with the Laodicean church!…and the youth as I mentioned earlier aren’t learning compassion for others…it’s entertainment! When they should be out in nursing homes, hospitals for sick children, and mowing lawns of poor elderly, etc. I stopped going to the Sunday school class at my church because I came prepared (read the homework) and it was nothing but a social hour!” Gina Mondello
“And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World” [podcast]
“All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14
The true remnant of Christ are known in that they are enduring to the end in the midst of iniquity, abounding and preaching the Gospel of Jesus the King to the world.
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, admitting I have been living for my own evil glory. I am a sinner. I’ve committed the sin of idolatry, having myself first instead of You. I admit here and now before You that I have been committing the damning sin of spiritual adultery. I have claimed to know You and yet refused to uncompromisingly adhere to Your Word. Here and now, right now if never before, I repent and ask You to forgive my sins and to wash me afresh from my sins in the precious blood of Jesus Christ my LORD. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit, my life, right this moment and ask You dear LORD to fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me to preach Your glorious message of repentance to those around me so that they can receive the forgiveness of all their sins and walk in the times of refreshing from Your holy presence dear LORD. I love You Jesus. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. In Jesus’ Name amen.
Beware of the "I Love My Church" Deception [podcast]
DID YOUR “CHURCH” DIE FOR YOU…. OR DID JESUS DIE FOR YOU? “I see many exalting their church but nothing about Jesus Christ.” Tina A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CAUGHT UP WITH THEIR “CHURCH” BUT NOT WITH CHRIST! (REVELATION 2:4-5) You only love your fake “church” because the fake “pastor” is a gutless self-serving coward who refuses to preach the whole counsel of God’s Word, including – sin, repentance, the crucified life, and the holiness of God and how He commands you to be holy as He is holy (Acts 20:20, 27; 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Oh and he uses a fake […]
Following Christ's Great Commission Command [podcast]
The future belongs exclusively to Jesus Christ and His followers. Read the book of Revelation! “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 Is your hand on “the plough” – that which God has called you to do in His kingdom work? Have you looked back? “Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17 Have you grown weary in well doing? “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due […]
The Result of Real Repentance [podcast]
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16 WE DON’T NEED JUST ANOTHER “CHURCH SERVICE” OR “SERMON,” WE NEED TO REPENT AND WHEN WE REALLY DO, WE WILL OBEY GOD—OTHERWISE WE DIDN’T TRULY REPENT. “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way […]
Jesus Promised Judas an Eternal Throne in Heaven but He Chose to go to Hell #shorts [video]
Judas died and went to eternal hell, irrevocably as every lost soul shall experience (Acts 1:25). Judas is the “son of perdition” and “perdition” means damnation (John 17:12).
Here’s all the ministry’s shorts (60 secs) videos. Feel free to share:
Judas was even sent out with the other apostles to heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach Christ’s Gospel (Matthew 10:1-8). He was real, then backslid and is in hell (Acts 1:16-25).
“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones(not 11), judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Matthew 19:28)
Judas wasn’t kept and Jesus specifically and irrefutably promised him an eternal throne in Heaven – Matthew 19:28. “TWELVE” not eleven~!
At the time of this divinely-given promise, it is more than abundantly clear that Judas was eternally secure, otherwise Christ would have never given this promise to the “twelve” which includes Judas Iscariot (Matthew 19:28). It is only after this that Judas allowed iniquity in his heart and by his own deliberate will fell by his own iniquity (Acts 1:25; Heb. 3:12-15).
“Saying, I (Judas) have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” Matthew 27:4
“Eternal security”? Don’t kid yourself. Moral cowards who refuse to take person accountability for their every thought, motive, and deed love this lie. Satan’s first lie – which led to the fall of mankind (Gen 2:17; 3:4).
“For if AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21
The Son of Perdition Exposed Dear eternal security adherent: You cannot take one verse or passage and make a conclusion without the whole of Scripture agreeing. Judas was chosen, sent out by Christ to preach Christ’s Gospel, raise the dead, and heal the sick (Matthew 10:1-8), and was promised a throne in Heaven (Matthew 19:28) and died and went to Hell for betraying Jesus (Acts 1:25). He followed Christ and then departed from the Son of God. Jesus says that one can believe and then “fall away” (Luke 8:13). Are you going to call the Son of God a liar? […]
John Calvin Exposed
The Cult of Calvin: Exploding the Diabolical 5-Point Mythology of Calvinism In my personal opinion and from decades of observation, it appears to be evident that those in ministry who teach Calvin’s doctrines were subverted by those who taught them before they ever personally learned God’s Word themselves. They were taught this lie growing up and/or in the seminaries they attended before they had studied unto the LORD and gained a foundation in His Word (2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17). Like most false doctrines, Calvinistic teachings have an inoculating effect upon those who have been deceived by this teaching. Beholding John Calvin’s abominable […]
Grace vs Holiness [podcast]
“The horrible travesty we have in America today is Christianity without holiness.” A.W. Tozer Grace and holiness come only from God. The LORD is Holy and He extends salvation by grace to repentant, believing sinners at the moment of conversion. Grave vs Holiness: WHY is one of these two so overwhelmingly overemphasized by today’s pastors and self-appointed “grace teachers,” when the other is prioritized by God as is demonstrated by the number of times it appears in Holy Scripture? Which word appears more times in the Bible?: Grace, or Holiness LET’S DO THE MATH: Comparing Grace and Holiness 170 […]
“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
Did you know that God has magnified His Word even above His holy name?
“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Psalms 138:2

The 4 Pillar Purposes for the Holy Scriptures There are 4 reasons detailed in 2 Timothy 3:16 for the Holy Scriptures being given to us by God. Under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, the apostle Paul wrote: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16 According to this verse, the Bible, God’s very Word, has been given to the people of God for 4 reasons: Doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. Let us take a brief look at these 4 reasons […]
How We Know the Bible is the only Holy Book on Planet Earth [podcast]
Only God knows the future. Law of probability and the fulfillment of Bible prophecies: Odds of the 332 prophecies of the prophets concerning the coming Messiah, given hundreds of years prior to His arrival coming true are: 8,749,002,899,132,046,697,490,008,908,470,485,461,412,622,723,572,849,745,… 703,082,425,425,639,811,996,797,503,692,894,052,708,092,215,296 to 1 Fact: Only the Almighty could know the future and forthtell it in specific detail, long before it ever happened. THIS is how we know that the Bible is truly the Word of the one true God and that all other so-called “holy books” are frauds. “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” […]
The Victory of the Crucified Life [podcast]
The victory of God in your life comes through the victory of Jesus’ life, death, burial, and resurrection. And thereafter, from adhering to His instructions on how to walk with Him – the way of the cross. WHO are truly Christ’s? “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (the cross, crucified life).” Galatians 5:24 Read that verse above again. Memorize it. There are many who claim to be Christians, followers of Jesus, yet regrettably, but a miniscule few are actually His, are actually serving the Son of God on His stated terms – […]
