Needed: honest Bible students to examine false teachers in their neighborhoods, cities, states and their country.

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ (and curious friends), July 2017

Our country is not desperately low on “hope”, it’s desperately low on honesty from politicians and Bible teachers who should be teaching the healthy “fear of the Lord” and to depart from false teaching, idolatry, known sin, and the love of this world and its trinkets and sin-pleasures. And yet, those are things you will not hear from God’s Word from many/most of the men who stand behind pulpits all across the USA. Why? Because many (seemingly most) “pastors” know little about the Word of God, and are nothing more than fancy paid speakers who also are CEOs of their business-trade, being a religious entertainer and tickling itching ears. They love to flatter to gain advantage of the people and get them to give to his lazy-pastor fund. Most (seemingly all) 501c3 leaders are not Jesus’ disciples, submitting to Jesus as their Head, and therefore they are not Biblical shepherds either – under-shepherds under Christ. Many/most of the men who stand behind pulpits are nothing but hirelings, who will not identify a wolf right in front of their faces… usually because these so-called “pastors” are partnering with wolves. ~ Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and I’ll be glad to update it as others offer ideas and help and/or note typos. This is merely a starting idea that I hope and pray will encourage others in their town to lead there, here in the US and around the world. I speak up because I see a void and I want to encourage honest followers of Christ to fill that void, with ideas my family has learned over the years.

>> A very short side-point: ladies are not permitted by God’s Word to be “pastors”, so all ladies who do that are either training up men to take their place (as lady missionaries often do, see the Book of Acts for examples) or they are in direct contradiction and violation of God’s Word. There many things a lady can do and lead in a church and are very much needed in, including speaking up where they see danger or false teaching. But, the role of a pastor is not one of them.

“¹² And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. ¹³ For Adam was formed first, then Eve. ¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. ¹⁵ Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.”
(1Timothy 2:12-15) – Now, I have to also say that some take this passage to the point of completely silencing women and their accountability. That would be twisting this passage a different way and very wrong. In God’s structure, men and women have their areas and roles and spheres of influence – things ladies can do that men can’t and things men can do that ladies can’t. When we do it God’s way according to His Word, we are able to work in unity in Christ and with His blessing on our lives as well as our gathering of believers, rather than fighting Him and His Word.

>> Unless questions come up, that’s all I will say on this. The rest of this study applies to both men and women working together in Christ to call out false teachers, share the gospel and build and mature gatherings of believers – men leading and ladies supporting them and working alongside them and providing help, accountability, prayer and ideas, according to the roles of proper home, family and church rules God has set up in His Word. 1^st Timothy 3 and Titus 1 and 2 are just two key passages on this.

So with that introduction, let’s look at a few things. Here in early summer of 2017, we all see we have a huge problem. Many/most of the “Christian heroes” are corrupt and collaborating together, while pretending to work separately, all while carefully following secret the growing 501c3 rules and regulations, so they can be a man-approved “state clergy” teaching the FEMA and Vatican’s false gospel – with double-wordings that are harder to catch. Let’s first look at a few passages of Scripture, and then think about how we can do what God’s Word tells us to do.

“¹ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, ⁴ traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! ⁶ For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, ⁷ always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; ⁹ but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.” (2 Timothy 3:1-9)

Notice first, that this passage is describing most church leaders near the end of the “church age” which we see laid out in chronological order in Revelation 2 and 3.

Folks, we are in the last days. Have you noticed that? I know most of you just said yes or nodded your head. The signs around us are obvious. So, by way of explanation, let’s look over this passage and see what we can glean from it. When we look around, we see the Rockefeller entertainment giving approval to all kinds and types and colors of sins and levels of filth. Let’s briefly go through the list the Lord has here in this text, so we can check our hearts and stand higher, and then rightly teach these things to others – leading them from sin, to a deeper covenant-relationship with Christ. Sound good? Okay.

> Lovers of themselves [self] = idolatry, covetousness (Exodus 20)

> Lovers of money = greed, idolatry, covetousness (Colossians 3:5)

> Boasters = making proud guess/predictions about how well something they are involved in is going to do, in advertising or in reports to their funders (James 4:13-16)

> Proud = too confident in their own self-centered and self-driven ideas, won’t take correction or rebuke or calls to repent and change and grow in obedience to God’s Word. (Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 38, James 4:6, 1^st Peter 5:5, and many in the Book of Proverbs)

> Blasphemers = they have gone so far in “believing in their own goodness/themselves” and “knowing” how “good” they are, that they have gone onto taking God’s names on themselves or the other side: carelessly using God’s Name in vain, because they think they are so important that it doesn’t matter… very dangerous, because that is one command with a clear note that God will not let His Name and Character be trampled as sinful or dishonorable. God will and does defend holiness and purity, whether the hearer cares or not. And not only that, but in today’s culture (much like Greece and Rome), they even have replacements for God: superheroes, athletes, movie stars… even pastors or priests or rabbis, etc. (Exodus 20:7, Deut. 5:11)

> Disobedient to parents = treating their Dads and Moms shamefully and without key aspect of respect like publicly shaming them or laughing at them behind their backs and passing around insults and slander, etc. And the other side of this is doing the opposite of what they are teaching, or worse: secretly doing sins that they hide from their parents. Now, as I’m sure you are also aware of, in many cases the parents were the ones to start that direction of rebellion against God and taught it their own by example(s) of covering sins, denying responsibility, and refusing accountability to and from God. So, the sins that aren’t dealt with by the parents are passed onto the children, as Exodus 20 reminds us as well as other chapters. And the children of church leaders, by and large, for their part often take those sins to the next level… and all of that leads to more painful consequences for each person who hardens their own hearts in sin, as Romans 1 and Galatians 6:7-9 teach so clearly. The cycle continues - unless someone stops the trend and actively works to cut the known sins out of their lives and to then teach others to do the same. But, stepping back even further, the reason people disobey or dishonor their parents goes back to their disrespect and dishonor for God. Now, with that said, I need to clarify something: when a parent commands or pushes a child into something harmful or sinful, the child needs to find a way to say no and not do that – no matter how old they may be. Yet, even with that note, many times God can still use the parent/child relationship to remind us of how submission to God and getting away from sin works – whether by a parent’s good example of it or a parent’s bad example of it. In conclusion on this point, Ephesians 6 has a wonderful promise for parents and children on honoring and obeying parents – but it requires obedience and honor to God first, and then to honor to parents, in varying measure according to their obedience to God’s Word. (Exodus 20: 12, Ephesians 6:1-4, Colossians 3:18-21) ~ “¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² ‘Honor your father and mother’, which is the first commandment with promise: ³ that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.’ ⁴ And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:1-4)

~ Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment to children, with a promise of God’s blessing in that.

> Unthankful = not grateful, or in many cases barely grateful, to be contrasted with genuinely grateful. Our culture here in America has so much… even many of the poorest here in America have more creature comforts than many poorer people around the globe (aside from the professional homeless and actual homeless). And yet, here in America, many people are spiritually poor – which is far worse. Yet, even just on the aspect of “mammon” = earths trinkets and empty pleasures, it’s so easy in our American cities, towns and culture to forget that God rains down blessings on the righteous and the evil… too often here on planet earth, we forget where anything good comes from. We don’t get it because we deserve it – every little pure and honestly good thing comes from only One Source – God, our Creator. And, being unthankful is one of the last steps before God then lets a person fall into more sin, as explain in Romans 1:18-32. We need to be thankful for what God gives us – even the trials. Because everything He gives us and allows us to go through is meant to purify us from known sin, help us trust Him more and keep our focus on Him and holiness and purity, and to then be able to help others to do the same – all earning some quality of spiritual rewards, for those who are actually in Christ. So, Thankfulness is *so* important. We need to remember it, often, not just once a week or once a month or once a year. (Romans 1:18-24, 1^st Corinthians 10:10, James 5:9, and Philippians 2:12-15)

> Unholy = rejecting what is pure and right and good and replacing it with what is self-pleasing and things we know are sin, but feel “fun” for a season. Trying to find where that line of “almost saved/saved” is, or better put: “how much rebellion and evil can I do and get away with it here on planet earth”. Know what I mean? That sin-driven attitude is everywhere… maybe even in our own hearts. Let’s fix that in our hearts and ask God to grow us as we teach it to others, amen? (Isaiah 6:1-5, 1^st Peter 4:1-6)

> Unloving = not actually caring about the people we know, or better put caring about others only because of what we get back, whether stuff or “fun” or pleasure. Remember God’s definition of agape? It’s in 1^st Corinthians 13 – the whole chapter, and it’s not actually the definition of “love”. It’s actually the descriptions of what people do and say and how they act when they have God’s unconditional love. It’s really love-in-action, not to be confused with the pagan “social gospel” which has no gospel or love. Genuine love cares for the soul and to prevent a person from lowering their standards on sin, not merely the outward showy physical affection. (1^st Corinthians 13)

> Unforgiving = refusing to forgive. This concept is so hard to understand here in modern America because satan and his fallen angels and human agents have been trying to re-craft this definition for years. Forgiving is not: letting go of accountability or letting go of righteous anger. Forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation or trust – both of which take 2 sides to rebuild. No, forgiveness simply is letting go of our “right” to seek revenge, and instead wanting justice on the crime to protect others from getting hurt by that person, leaving that in God’s hands and whom God raises up to bring consequences on that evildoer in a lawful and judicial manner. Sometimes if the humans refuse to do their job, God does some time later. Either way, forgiveness is us letting go of that hate (wish to murder) and wish to get revenge with our own hands, but to leave it in God’s hands, while keeping protective boundaries around us, as well as praying that someday we might have the opportunity to reconcile and rebuild trust and accountability and a new start on our friendship. (Matthew 18:21-35)

> Slanderers = passing around accusations about another person that are contradictory to their character and pattern. Sadly we live in a culture that is so controlled by lies and deception and cover-ups that we can’t often use the word slander in its proper context. And with bribes being used so often to cover-up crimes and injustices… it’s any wonder we can’t trust those who promote themselves to be our leaders. Many of these said leaders show themselves disapproved before God by all of the sins they have in their active lives and that they push on others, all the while pretending to be godly and probably even a “Christian”. I can drop names here and you’d be shocked to realize how many “heroes” of the faith – aren’t. It’s just another reminder that we’ve got to stop following men and instead to dig into the Bible and double-check men. With that said, the pagan culture around us praises their own evil people: the dishonorable “leaders” who support satan’s systems. And yet the same pagan culture mistreats, persecutes and tries to falsely accuse the honest leaders and citizens who get people to turn back to God’s Word themselves and double check everything else with God’s fact-checker. And, rightly dividing the Word is a very important part of this. (Matthew 5:9-16)

> Without self-control. My, that’s another word that needs its own sermon for how many passages in God’s Word talk about this fruit of the Holy Spirit. It simply means controlling one’s body and desires and teaching them to turn from sins and sinful pleasures and sin-filled entertainment to the Word of God and the Word of God alone, and then training up disciples of Jesus Christ, and not men. It simple means = controlling oneself to stay and grow away of sin and sin’s desires. (Galatians 5:16-26)

> Brutal = physically harmful to get what one selfishly wants. But this can show up in words and how a personally connives to back-stab and back-bite to get what they want – it’s just harder to see sometimes. With this said, the US right now is *not* as brutal as the Rockefeller entertainment and phony news say it is (ie: the “Fox”, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, BBC, Al-Jazeera, etc). The ones who are being brutal are the ones who are higher up all the way to the top of the money train. The Rothschilds and Rockefellers, The Franks and Jacobins, the Vatican and both DCs (Washington DC and Denver, CO), the EU, the CFR, the Club of Rome, the Bilderbergs, etc. They are ruthless in their drive for wars to get more of what they want: stuff, power, control, fame, etc. But, isn’t that what James 4:1-4 talks about so plainly? Isn’t that exactly why God says that he who loves this world the love the Father is not in Him in 1^st John 2:15-17? Of course. God is not on any man’s side. Either man is turning from sin and getting on God’s side, or he is against God His Creator and partnering at some level with Lucifer/satan and the demons and other high-level satanists who wish to be little “gods” here on planet earth. (Matthew 5:21-26; Proverbs 16:7; Matthew 6:33)

> Despisers of Good = switching good for evil and evil for good. That is something that, as you may remember, God places a “woe” judgment on those who do so (Isaiah 5:20), while they make themselves least in the Kingdom of Heaven, that is in Hell/Lake of Fire forever and ever (Matthew 5:19).

> Traitors = not keeping commitments or covenants with God or men. This happens way too much. To be clear, we are not God, so we *can’t* keep promises, which is why Jesus told us not to make oaths, but to let our “yes” be yes, and our “no” be no (Matthew 5:33-37). And then there’s the topic of the unfaithfulness between husbands and wives – usually the husbands are more to blame physically, but the wives can get caught up and carried away by the seemingly “fun” stuff and pleasures and sin-desires and sin-filled entertainment and novels of this world too. Both happen way too many times, which then leads to sexual immorality committed against their spouse and then the divorce – which is only lawful on 2 accounts according to Scripture (Matthew 5:27-32; 1^st Corinthians 7:12-17)

> Headstrong = akin got some level of hardening of the heart in willful rebellion against God. See Hebrews 3 and 4 for more explanation.

> Haughty = akin to proud, but more hardened in it as to equate themselves with and to even judge God, though not all who do so are at the same level of hardened-of-heart. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

> lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God = chasing and fighting for sin-pleasures, instead of seeking to please God and turning people from sin to following Christ. (2^nd Corinthians 5:17-20)

> having a form of godliness, but denying it’s power = more properly translated: having a form of piety/godliness/holiness, but denying God’s power to resist sin and preach the gospel, refusing to submit to God. That captures a lot of what we just read doesn’t it? It kind of boils it all down.

> Now, there is so much rich teaching here, but I have to save that for another time. But let me call your attention to a powerful little prophecy. “… ⁹ but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.” (2^nd Timothy 3:9) – God not only is standing against false teachers and proving them as liars and loving this world instead of loving and serving Him, but He’s also using and working with honest followers of Christ to get them to expose their lies and evil deeds so that others, including unbelievers, can see it and watch out for and avoid them and their sins. But, it gets better: God also has a prophecy here that these evil leaders and false teachers will “progress no further”. Meaning? God is resisting and exposing and tearing down false teachers in many ways, including using people like you and me to expose their evil deeds. And God has said that they will progress no further. Meaning when we are exposing their evil deeds (as commanded in Scriptures we’re about to look at), we are being used by God in fulfilling His prophecy. Pretty cool, huh?

So, let’s quickly look at 4 more passages and then ideas on how we can be active messengers or ambassadors of Jesus the Christ.

“²⁴ Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." (John 7:24)

Have you seen that command from Jesus lately? We are not suggested to, but called and commanded to – with His blessing when we did it according to God’s Word and God’s way. That is God’s command to us. We also see that in Matthew 7:1-5. First remove the sin from our eyes, life and home, and as we are doing that, humbly and gently help others to do the same. That’s ministry. That’s what we are supposed to be doing here on planet earth till our final breath.

“¹ Judge not, that you be not judged. ² For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. ³ And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? ⁴ Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? ⁵ Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5)

So, let’s look at the next passage.

“¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

As you can see from plain Scripture, we are commanded to expose what is evil. Meaning we are commanded to identify and spot wolves, with the promise in 2 Timothy 3:9 (that I noted previously) that God will bless and use us to expose their evil. If you didn’t realize it, we are not yet in the upcoming literal 7-year Tribulation. We are indeed in the “church age” of Revelation 2 and 3. And whether you can see the “rapture” in the Bible (as I do) in 1^st Thessalonians 4 and Revelation 4:1, you do need to realize that there will be a public change between this church age to the time when the antichrist can be revealed and set up his one-world govt, with the Vatican and IMF and UN and CFR, etc, and then sign the one-world 7-year treaty with Israel that will officially start the 7-year Tribulation as described in chronological order in Revelation 6 thru 19.

Meaning? This is our time to expose evil. We are to do like Jesus (Matthew 5-7, Matthew 23, John 8, John 10), like the John the Baptizer did (Matthew 3:7, Mark 6:18), and Peter (Acts 4; 2^nd Peter 2), Stephen (Acts 7), Paul (Acts 13, 2^nd Timothy 4:14), the apostle John (3^rd John), Jude (Book of Jude), and Jesus (Revelation 2 and 3).

“¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

That’s supposed to be every person who is in Christ, as Jesus explained so clearly in Matthew 28:18-20 and again in Mark 16:15-16.

“⁷ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹ And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:7-9)

This is one of four places in the New Testament where God commands us to not be deceived on this – meaning that we can be. And then God reminds us that He cannot and will not be mocked. Then goes into some foundational teaching: we will all reap what we sow or do & say. God is here, speaking through Paul, building on such passages as Romans 6 and 8, and Galatians 5. We will reap = meaning see and feel the consequences for what we: sow, meaning whether we choose to do what we know is right or wrong, there will be consequences for our actions – some judgments or rewards lasting longer than others. And then that wonderful promise – we will reap a good harvest (meaning rewards and some level of place in God’s Kingdom) based on our quality of obedience, but here’s the important part: if we do not give up, or lose heart.

So, what’s our idea? Well, our hope and prayer is that God might (with this study and similar teachings) stir up groups of honest Bible students to go into the mega-churches in each town and write down the verses they twist and skip and the false teachings – loud or subtle, that they teach and promote. Each working on their own – each following the Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Why do we suggest this? IT’s rather simple. Our family 20+ years ago was in a friendly cult, or “mega-church” – but we didn’t realize it at the time. The way God brought us out of it was when He used their false teachings and their bad fruit to show us their lies, and the only way we saw their lies was by comparing the words of this 501c3 to God’s Word. So, because we were involved in the children and youth ministries at the time, and going to hear the speaker was required. What God did was helped us to realize that we needed to start making notes of what verses this speaker was using, and what verses he was skipping, and what blatant false teachings or contradictions to God’s Word that he said. Doing that for 3 years greatly increased our depth of study into God’s Word and purified our walk, as well as strengthened our confidence and sure-ness in the Word of God. So that process deepened our love for God’s Word, and got us spending more time studying it regularly. And that led us to now where we try to always be listening to the Bible on MP3, which has been tremendous in growing us to be faithful ambassadors of Jesus the Christ.

Our thinking here is that my family is are wanting God to raise up many more to do that – all across the US. We do not suggest that everyone become members of these 501c3s and active promoters of their lukewarm false gospels. Each person must seek the Lord for how God would have them do it. Our suggestion is that each person would listen to these teachers (online, at their 501c3, or in their books and articles) and work to be exposing the lies of the devil and the NWO from these pulpits, as well as the lies of the Jesuits and masons. And to also grow in then teaching anyone who will listen the honest gospel and message of Jesus the Christ, as well as while also seeing the growth and maturity of the home-church gatherings out of the pagan-run 501c3s (growing since the 1980s), much like what we see in the Book of Acts.

So, that’s a few of the Scriptures that we see and work to grow in. We hope and pray they have encouraged you! Curious, will you join us in either praying against or exposing the 501c3 liars in your area? In doing so, you can be used by God to turn many from sin to God’s righteousness.

Two serious cautions before you jump into this project:

1) God will use this to refine you – which is a good thing, but it hurts. It’s spiritually healthy, will allow God to use you more to turn others from sin to Jesus and you will earn more rewards in Heaven, but it is a refining process. It pushes us past the comfort level that the false converts never move past, to genuinely serving and following Jesus ourselves.

>>> Several key passages that God started teaching us deeply in during this process were: 2^nd Corinthians 6:14-7:1, James 4:1-4, and 1^st John 2:15-17, as well as 2^nd Timothy 3, Jude, 2^nd Peter 1:5-11 and 2^nd Peter 3:7-11.

2) If you cannot see the lies of the 501c3 mega-church after 1, 2 or 3 weeks – leave! Go and study God’s Word alone, with family, or family and friends for a year or two, and then try again.

A free resource you might find very helpful in this process is this booklet – it names no names, just passages of God’s Word that sort through false teacher from honest teacher.
