Is What Is Accpeted As Religious Truth...Bible Truth?

Religious beliefs that people who claim to be Bible believers believe, but not found in the Bible;

Accept Christ as personal Savior by saying the sinner's prayer!

ALTAR CALL at the end of a sermon!

Pastor as an office or a formal title...whether it be senior, associate, assistant or youth!

Sunday-event-driven-meeting called a service!

Church as being a denominated denomination!

Denominated doctrines!

Segregated denominated buildings for assembling as Christ Body!

Tithing 10% of one's income!

Begging for money to spread the Gospel!


Begging for money to feed the plush lifestyles of the rich and famous PaStars.

Membership signing to belong to a denomination!
 
Church Boards!
 
Clergy and Laity distinction!

Worship Leaders!

Elders submitting to a pastor as a form of church government!

The Church buying property or having building programs.

Positions of overseer-ship, Superintendents, Bishops. Popes, Doctor of Divinity etc,! 

Voting in a pastor!

Hierarchy structured system!

Pulpit preaching by a seminarian professional!

Believers celebrating Christmas, Easter, Halloween!
 
Song Service!
 
Church Choir!

Sunday School!

A denominated building referred to as the Storehouse!

Repeat after me....as in leading  someone in the sinner's prayer!

God helps those who help themselves!

The Rapture!

The Bible as being infallible, inerrant and inspired!

The Bible as the Living Word of God!

The Bible as the guide to "Christian" living!

The Bible used as a warfare manual!

In actual fact there WAS NO BIBLE!

Hell as being a place of eternal punishment in a burning everlasting fire!

Religion has done a suburb job at rationalizing, justifying, and explaining religious practices that are contrary to God's written word and have deceived many into believing their beliefs and practices are truth.

Do NOT accept any "puffed up" human reasoning or explanation for continuing in an unscriptural religious practice.   "That in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other." 

Truth is not tradition, not your priest, not your pastor, not the guy on TBN or the Miracle Channel, not me,  nor is it the blind religious acceptance of the bible. You are capable of hearing from God for yourself without me or anyone else trying to convert you to their way of thinking.  People can teach the scriptures but only God gives revelation and understanding.  The Lord is a much better instructor than me or anyone wearing an ecclesiastical title.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec
