NO -- DOUBT! -- SATAN -- DOES -- START -- BOGUS -- BUT -- FOR ALL APPEARANCES
-- "CHRISTIAN CHURCHES!"
I have been studying Christian evidences,
bible texts, etc., for 40+ years.
Other pages at this site will show
I am fussy, particular, and precise.
I'm convinced I personally know of one large
"Bible Church" headed largely, by false Christian staff members. I'm sure there are many others.
Many REAL Christian "LAY people" attend there, but are being subtly misled, and in fact,
defrauded.
They are completely unsuspecting.
They are contributing a LOT of money -- TO WHAT, WHOM!
To
Satan and his helpers?
Below I quote Woodrow Wilson, J. Edgar Hoover, and
Psalm 2.
Taken together, they strongly show, Satan really does have the will,
muscle and means, to start false "Christian" or "Bible" churches, etc.
Dallas Theological Seminary, in their doctrinal handout, "We Believe," say that Satan:
"In his ware-fare (against God) appears as an angel of light, even COUNTERFEITING the works of God by FOSTERING
(FALSE) religious movements and systems of doctrine." -- (Emphasis mine)
Satan
uses these to suck in many unsuspecting people, including true believers in Jesus Christ -- and then subtly pervert them in
their faith, knowledge, and labors for the Lord.
Folks in small churches may
see a new, big, church as attractive with its spacious parking lot, great youth program, and other amenities.
PLUS, they can get lost in the crowd, and not get talked into serving.
There
are at least 10 million species of organisms on Earth, each with genetic codes in the millions, if not billions of letters
(base pairs).
When compared to our great knowledge gained through development
of our OWN computer/information management systems --
We know the genetic systems
must have been specially CREATED
-- CODED SYSTEMS -- of the magnitude and sophistication
of the genetic code system -- NEVER -- COME ABOUT -- BY ACCIDENT.
YET -- almost
all the colleges and universities teach Evolution as FACT.
WHAT POWER -- keeping
them in line - when the evidence is so clear for SPECIAL CREATION BY GOD!
IS
IT ANY WONDER THAT THIS SAME "POWER" HAS WRAPPED ITS TENTACLES AROUND, AT LEAST SOME -- OF OUR "CHRISTIAN"
CHURCHES!
We need to examine any doctrinal statements, and ask direct questions
and require direct answers from church leaders.
No church is perfect --
it is always pros and cons. But we need to try.
ASK: How do we know there
IS a God?
If they say, because of all the spectacular things he's MADE --
That's great. Book of Romans chapter 1 says this.
If they get wishy-washy,
or philosophical, or abstract, or vague -- be very suspicious.

my Seven Powerful Evidences Confirming Special Creation.
The real God of Jesus Christ, the Bible, Special Creation --
IS a straight male. See God is a Straight Male.
Most church teachers say God is neuter -- this is NOT what
Jesus said.
Jesus repeatedly used the word "Father."
Jesus knew exactly what he was saying, and always tells the TRUTH!
GOD
IS A STRAIGHT MALE! God the neuter is a complete FICTION!
So, you
could pose the question to a leader, but this may be one you have to "live with."
But, realize it is God's gender which defines manhood --
His straight
orientation defines womanhood--
The two together are what marriage is all about.
So, for church leaders to hold to this neuter view of God -- disqualifies them -- they are not able
to correctly handle any of these subjects.
It is God's straight male person that
is THE reason homosexuality is SIN.
I asked a middle-aged nurse -- a very
intelligent, highly educated and capable woman --
I understood her to be
a Bible believer.
I got her off alone, where no one else would hear.
I said, "Does the Bible teach God is a male?"
Her answer was
immediate and certain -- "YES"!
Then I asked her, "Do you
realize most Church leaders say God does NOT have gender?
Her answer was
again immediate and certain -- "I GO BY THE BIBLE!"
Folks who's
FINAL AUTHORITY is REALLY the Bible, often the lay folks, will answer as she did.
Folks who look to a religious, theological, system as their authority, as MOST clergy do -- will answer -- that God
does not have gender.
As I noted above, this makes a world of difference in marriage
counseling.
And a critical difference is authoritatively teaching homosexuality
is SIN.
Before leaving this topic let me note The New Testament, John 6:37:
Jesus said, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I
will in no wise cast out."
IT IS THE FATHER WE MUST COME TO -- not
a fictional, genderless character!
We must be reconciled TO the true God,
through his Son, the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Reconciliation
to a make-believe god, won't cut it!
Likewise the
issue of the King James Bible.
Satan's war against
GOD ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY INCLUDES THE BIBLE!!!
See Why the King James Bible?
The King James Bible New Testament is translated from the TRADITIONAL GREEK TEXT
--
MODERN BIBLE VERSIONS ARE TRANSLATED FROM A DIFFERENT GREEK TEXT -- THE
"CRITICAL GREEK TEXT."
The variations between the KJB and
modern bibles are REAL and Serious! They are specially serious in their CUMULATIVE effect.
All churches I go to, use modern versions.
-- I follow along with the
King James -- I note the differences.
More discussion on these things later in
this paper.
