Women cant preach

This is the hottest, most debatable topic in the Christian community. Why, because the two arguments are both half way true. The believers who say women can’t preach have scripture to back it up and so do the people who say women can preach. It makes it hard for regular guys like us. today we will deal with both sides to find the truth.

Let me start off by saying there is no scripture in the bible that says a women can’t preach. If your well trained in the scripture let me tell you this, drop your guard or you wont see the truth. Either you’ll be with me for half of this teaching and not be with me for the other half, or you’ll just drop your guard and look at the scriptures. So Lets deal with what the bible does say.

Let start off by dealing with why people say they can’t preach.

1 Tim 2:11,12

Let the women learn in silence with all subjection.

I suffer not a women to teach , nor usurp authority over man, but to be in silence.

Ok lets see this scripture for what it says and not for what we want to prove a point.

#1 women are to learn silently in the church meeting.

#2 women are not to teach during the church meeting.

#3 women are not to take (usurp) authority over men.

These are very clear. However most people stretch them beyond what they say. First off , Women are to learn silently with all subjection shows the women responsibility in Church. This is the time to practice submission. How many Churches who don’t support women ministering to you see enforce that? Very little if any. But that is besides the point. When the women learn in silence, they get to ask their husband every thing at home.(1 cor 14:35) This is the true order. It allows the husband to walk as the head of his wife (1cor 11:3) It causes her to submit to him as his wife. If a wife is loud during this time or asking other men questions then she is out of order and not being submissive to her husband. This is the time submit to your husband. I cant change that and you cant either. People try by using excuse about history and culture. But history cant change that either. Look at the reason Paul gave and you’ll see that it was establish since the beginning with Adam and Eve (1tim 2:13,14)

So to recap, in the Church meeting a women is not suppose to teach or preach, for how can she do so if she is learning silently is subjection. However, our view hasn’t changed. Also read 1 cor 14:43 for further clarity.

Ok so seeing that scripture how can you believe that women can preach? Well fist you have to understand that God doesn’t just work with men or women inside of the church meeting. These instructions only apply to the church meeting. Let me prove it.

Women being used to preach, teach , prophesy outside the Church

Acts 18:26

When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of god even more accurately.

Here we see Priscilla along with her husband explaining the gospel more accurately to Apollos. If the same rules applied to her outside the church then she would have had to remain silent as Aquila explained. But it doesn’t so she was able to further Apollos understanding about the topic.

John 5:39

Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman has said, “He told me everything I ever did!”

The Samaritan woman’s testimony of what Jesus told her caused many to believe. The bible says how can they hear with out a preacher. Did she not just announce that Jesus was the Christ. How could they believe this message if no one said it. She was used outside the church in her own village. Many believed because of that women.

Luke 2:36,38

38.Anna ,a prophet, was also there in the temple. She was the daughter of……………………………………38 She came along just as Simeon was talking to Mary and Joseph, and she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem.

Notice the prophetess who was used inside the temple. She was not prophesying as what people say traditionally. She began to tell the people about Christ. She began to let those know who had been waiting for God to rescue Jerusalem. Again she is used out side the Church meeting.

Titus 2:4

These older women must train( KJV Teach) the younger women to love their husbands and their children.

Ok look at this scripture. Because women can’t teach in the church meeting when are these older women suppose to teach the younger women? Of course out side of the church meeting. Again we see women being used outside the church.

Judges 4:4

And Deborah a prophetess , the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

Deborah was a judge of Israel and was used by God to Prophesy to Barak. As a judge she was a leader of the people of Israel. Again we see her used by God as a leader of the people outside of the church meeting.

2^nd chron 34:22

and hilkiah, and they that the kin had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Has-rah, keeper of the wardrobe ;(now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect. And she answered them thus saith the lord God of Israel….

Again another Prophetess used by God to tell what thus says the lord.

The lord uses women all over the bible out side the Church. We have to get back to the point where we use are gift everyday and not just on you day of worship. Being used on a daily bases will allow women to flow in their gifts and be submissive at the church meetings.

You cant choose a side when the bible doesn’t. So please see the example of women teaching, explaining, announcing, informing, and prophesying the word of the Lord in the bible. But again do all things decently and in order. There is a time for this ministry to go froward. And a time for it to be held back in order to be submissive.

Get ready,Get ready, Get ready for number 5.Now we will deal with what I call the hidden lies. The first being :the place of Worship ( The Church Sanctuary). See you Later as we deal with

Top 10 Church tradition topics and Lies # 7

The covering/head over another man’s ministry

Ok this topic is kinda funny. Why because there is absolutly no scriptural refferances to explain why they say there is a man that has to be over your ministry for you to be in God’s order. I heard a fase teacher talk about his “Spiritual Father” as his covering. He said he was his skin and he didnt do anything without talking to his covering.The bibles says the elders are not to lord over the people so why is he telling him anything ,as if he has authority over what God has said. Well what does the bible say about coverings.

1cor 11:3

But there is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, man is the head of woman, and the head of Christ is God.

How can a man be over that with christ is over. And knowing this why would a man claim to have another man is the position that Christ is in. let me show another scripture to prove even further what I am saying.

Eph 5:23,24

for a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head over the Church. He is the savior of the body, the Church. As the church submits to Christ ,………………………………………………………………………………

Ok look at the fact that the Church is to submit to Christ. Christ is the head of the Church. So our only covering over our ministry that we need is Christ. We dont need to be evaluated by man(1 cor 4:3). In fact the corinthians tried to place man as so important in their lifes that they would follow anyone else. Paul ( one of the leaders ) told them that the leaders were only servants (1 cor 3:5). He told the corinthians Every thing belongs to them so dont boast about a particular leader (1cor 3:21), at the end he again clarifies that they belong to Christ.

I use to think that you follow the leader no matter what and it would be the leaders fault if it was wrong. This was completely Wrong!!!!!!!!

3^rd John :10,11

When I come , I will report some of the things he is doing and the evil accusations he is making against us. Not only does he refuse to welcome the traveling teachers, he also tells others not to help them. And when they do help, he puts them out of the church. Dear friends, dont let this bad example influence you…………………………

This guy was obviously a leader who was power hungry as seen in ver 9. He didnt want the traveling teachers to come in and teach. John told the Church to not follow after this bad example. As people who follow you dont follow ever action. You follow teaching and examples. Todays twe see that these power hungry teachers have pread all over as Pastors. The original Churches had travlers who had a reponsibility to the intire body of Christ. They would go from Church to Church peraching and teaching and being supported by the churches they ministered to (vs 7).

Let me show you another example using Paul and Apollos.

1Cor 16:12

Now about our brother Apollos- I urge him to visit you with the other believers, bur he wasnt willing to go right now…………………………………..

If the whole covering thing was true then Apollos wouldnt have had a choice to go. But it simply delcares that he wasnt willing to go. We see a clear example that no man has rulership over another man’s ministry.

I want you to understand the God given authority that has been given to Elders and leaders. I’m covering this to give you balance.

Mark 10:42-44

So Jesus called them together and said, “ You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 43 but among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to everyone else.

The people who lead in the worldly way are flauntng their authority and lord over the people. However Christ said that the leaders must be slaves to the people. Leaders now a days have put them on selves on pedestools by teaching false doctrine like take care of you leader and pastor. This is not what this scripture says.

Here are some things you should know about biblical elders.

They Should be paid well for the preaching and teaching (1 tim 5:17)

Elders have a responsibility to Teach (Mathew 24:45)

You are suppose to follow your leaders example (Heb 13: 7)

they have reponsibility over people and regions that God put under their care (1peter 5:3)

Obey their instruction when they are biblically correct ( Heb13:17, 3^rd John :10,11)

this last one is where most people fall off. They dont check the truth for themselves.

1peter 5:3

Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.

Understand that elders have authority and rulership, but as servants and great examples.

Let me leave you with this warning.

Acts 14:8-18

In this scriptrue you’ll see that as Paul and barnabus were teaching. Paul looked down and noticed a man had the faith to be healed. So Paul healed him. In the peoples native tounge they said these must be the gods. They began to sacrifice to them. And of course Paul and Barnubus tried to stop them but couldn’t.Then some jews came and turned the crowd against them and stoned Paul. These men began to worship Paul and barnubas by sacrificeing to them because of what God did threw him. In today Churches many leaders try to get the people to give to them, not pay them, but give to them as a representative of God. They are out of order and out of context. In doing so the people worship the leaders threw their giving because who they supposily represent. The new testemnet giving scripture always wen to those in need not to those who lead. Again Elders deserve their pay, but they are not the representive of Christ. In fact Jesus said what ever you do unto the least of my brothern you have done it to me (Mathew 25:40) So if any one represents the lord in your giving it is the least of the brothern.

I want to end this by saying notice there wasnt any scripture giving one man authority over another man’s ministry. No, not one.

Top 10 Church tradition topics and Lies #8

The Business Church

Ok lets deal with this lie for who first established it, greedy men. This is the very treason why people stop going to Church. Now while I deal with this topic I want you to understand that there is a biblical business side. However it deals with taking care of the needs of the saints (Acts 6:1-7) and paying hired elders, not building these huge kingdom palaces here on earth. Let’s deal with this topic by first attaching these greedy teachers. Their doctrine focuses on prosperity and creative lies to get it there way.

1 Tim 6:5

These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their back on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.

When I say the business Church I am talking about these guys. They teach a doctrine that cause their followers to focus on the success of this life. However success is not a mark of a believer. Let me prove it. Jeremiah asked God why to the wicket prosper?( Jer 12:1) If you read that scripture you find out that God is the one who prospered them (Jer 12:1-2). God prospers both the wicket and the righteous. You’ll see the righteous prospering in Proverbs 3:9,10. These greedy preachers have built a whole doctrine on being prosperous. They teach lies but twisting scripture. They tell people if your not rich or have money then it s because you lack in faith. Even though the bible says God is the one who make people rich and makes people poor (1 Samuel 2:7). The bible even declares that we shall experience both from God (Ecc 7:14).

These false teachers teach one side to get their followers to feel like God owes them their prosperity. Why? They believe that they are suppose to be more prosperous than the world. Is this true? Of Course not. They think this is how God works. I have even been told by a pastor the we needed member that had money, not the poor folk. Lets see the truth.

1cor 1:26-29

remember , dear brothers and sister , that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. 27 instead, God chose things this world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and uses them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 as a result, no one can ever boasting the presence of God.

Here we see God uses the things that the world regards as worthless and destroys the things the world considers to be important. So these teachers are plain o backwards by trying to compete with the world. God will take nothing and defeat their something by using things they don’t even want, people they don’t want, and tactics they don’t want.

This business Church waste time effort and money on building their Huge churches . They can easily accomplish effective discipleship by allowing under shepherds to lead smaller groups. However because of their pride and hunger for maintaining the image of the world, they go for the gusto. More money to accomplish more thing is their goal. They waste millions of dollars on buildings even when Church buildings aren’t in the bible. These business leaders are well trained in taking your money ( 2nd peter2 :3,14) They also brag about themselves (2nd peter 2:18, Jude :16 ) and teach that it is the way we should be.

1Tim 6:9

but people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

Many people are deceived by these Churches. But they are torn away by their own lustful desire. Their desire to be rich hurts them. Their own lust for riches traps them in a never ending chase for riches. They then believe many of the lies that are taught because of their hope. Why? Because these teacher give them what their itching ears wanna hear. Lets see that scripture

2 Tim 4:3,4

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound doctrine and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ear want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

Wow. This is not the will of God. We should not be chasing after myths Let me give you an example of one myth to end this lie called the business church.

Promises taught out of the old covenant

Duet 28:1,2

If you fully obey the lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving today , the lord your God will set you high above all these nations of the world 2 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the lord your God: vs 3-14 (blessings).

They teach the blessing from the Law (old covenant) like vs 8 ,the lord will bless every thing you do and will fill your storehouse with grain.

They take this promise in the old covenant and tell the people if they are obedient then they will have a lot of money and wealth and god will bless everything they do. So they peruse this threw their giving as the teacher twist new testament scriptures. Now you have people yelling I am the head not the tail above and not beneath . However , Let me show you how deceptive this really is. Lets look at the scripture that expires this covenant.

Hebrew 8:6-13

I’m just going to show you notes because of how long the scripture is. Please read the whole scripture. If you don’t own a bible just go to www.bible.com and look up the passage.

Vs 6: Jesus mediates for us a far better covenant

Vs 7 The first covenant wasn’t flawless so there was a need to replace it.

Vs 8 God found fault with the people so he said the day is coming when I will make a new covenant

Vs 9 The covenant will not remain the same

Vs 10 I will put my laws in their minds and on their hearts and they will be my people and I will be their God

Vs 11 They will not need to teach their neighbors nor will need to teach their relatives saying you it should know the lord. For everyone from the least to the greatest will know me.

Vs 12 And I will forgive them their sins and remember them no more

Vs 13 And when God speaks of a new covenant , means he has made the fist one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear.

This shows that the old covenant is no longer valid, it is out of date. As we await for the fulfillment of the new covenant at the end of the age, we understand that the scriptures are useful to teach what is true and make us realize what we are doing wrong. So we can look back to see right and wrong but not promises or principles. So to wrap this up understand that they teach half the truth to get what they want. However if you have never heard of the expiring of the old covenant then you think it is the truth, however this is the business church opporation.

If you are apart of that Church let me leave you with this,

you cant serve God and Money.

Top 10 Church traditon topics and Lies #9

Revelations is a book to be afraid of.

First off let me start off by saying no it’s not. It is a book of prohecy and of the reality to come, not a scary book. It starts off by saying blessed are those who read this prophecy (Rev 1:3). Now here is the part that people fear, in Rev 1:1 it says that these things must soon take place. However, let me give you some awsome things to not be afraid about. In fact the thing you should fear is not knowing what’s going to happen.

The book of Revelations Outlines the outcomes of the believers past present and future. It gives the benefits of all the hardships that you’ll have to endure in Rev chapter 2 – 3. It even gives you areas that you get to relook at to make sure your in alignment with Christ standard. The promises of Christ revealed in the book of Revelations, enables us to endure many trials and love one other more effectively. Let me prove it.

Col 1:4,5

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people, 5 which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.

The Colossians were know for their faith in Christ as well as their love for God’s people. How did they accomplish such a honorable thing? Well, They focused on their hope of what was reserved for them in heaven. When you have some thing to focus on as a goal, it is easier to drive harder in what ever you do. Even to the point to where you will be known for it.

Again understanding a peace of the mystery of the wealth in heaven, impowers us to live more like Christ as we reach for the stars( wealth) that he said to go after. This also enables us to not be distracted by the riches of this world.

Lets go further in Revelations.

The book of Revelations is also known for the Chaos that will be inflicted on the earth. The disease, famine, wars, and deaths scare most people. However let me clear this up for you.The Choas to come isnt as fearful when you expect it to come. I mean a prophecy is a prophecy. You cant change it. So what you do is just embrace it and understand it the best way you know how. I believe having understanding removes the fear of the unexpected. When you know how to look at the world events as a sign of the lords return , you’ll learn what to fear and what not to fear. For example, I fear what God will do if I dont meet his standard (Rom 11:20). So I work hard to prove that I am chosen by God . (2^nd peter 1:10). No longer am I afraid of what going to happen because I am excited about he reward of Christ. My fear has been redirected.

Here is another reason why you should be afraid of the Chaos that will will take place. As you read the book of Reveations you see what to expect. Your reaction to events are diffent when you expect them to happen. Think about what you do when your expecting a guess. You freshen up your self of course, and you make sure you house is cleaner that usual. When they arrive your happy to see them because you prepared for their coming. You even smile as the door bell rings because you know it could be them. In fact add a little more to that. What if they are coming to take you on a trip. Dont you make sure your bags are packed and ready? So when the horn honks your not scared . You even know exactly who it is. My main point is we react diffently to what we expect vs what we dont expect. Especially when we know it’s coming and what’s going to come out of it coming. Now this analogy reflects the pain suffering and also Christ return. We know He’s coming, so we have to prepare. We also know by the things that will happen (the honk of the horn) that he will arrive sooner than we think.

Mathew 25:1-13 Read

This scripture tells the story of Ten brides maids. Five wise and five foolish. The bridsmaids went out to meet the bridsgroom. Five weren’t prepared for his coming and five were. The five who werent prepared didnt get in to the wedding.Why? Because of a lack of preparation. They ran out of oil, meaning for you and I they were not prepared to go the distance. Our dispay of love can run out if we are not focused on the prize and dont prepare for the long run. We have to plan on displaying love for the long run and let our light shine bright to get into the wedding. My main point is even if you know or heard something was going to happen it’s not good enough. You have to prepare for it. The book of revelations tell us exactly what to prepare for.

Another part that brings fear is satan being in control and killing christians. We have to grow to the point where we dont love our lives more that Christ.(luke 14:26) We have to be prepared to lose our life in order to gain it eternally. But how can we grow to that point if we dont prepare.

Lastly we see our eternal hope become a present reality. That’s right, we see the lord returning. We also see us reigning with Christ. We see a picture of Christ enemies burning in an evelasting lake of fire.The same devil that inflcted the hurt, harm, and pain on you endures everlating pain and suffering. Why do we need to see this? Those who thirst for justice shall be filled (Mathew 5:6). We shall see the end of our enemies, the end to our pain, and the beging of our eternal reign. We see the new heaven, new Earth, and the lord him self dwelling among us. Eternal life, the reward for our tempory suffering. But Our suffering is not worthy to be compared to the glory we shall experience, and revelations gives us a visual snapshot to place on the walls of out minds to remind us of this time. It allows us to expierence the excitement and gives us some type of expectation. But there is so much more, for we know in part and prophesy in part. But revelations gives you a part to get excited about.

So no it’s not a scary book, it is a blessing.

Top 10 Church Tradition Topics and Lies

Number 10

Sunday is the only day to worship / Saturday is the only day to worship

I had a friend of mine try to convert me to the seven day Adventist before he left the church we were in. He was telling me how we worshiped on the wrong day. Oh……He came with plenty of scripture to back it up. As I sat there thinking I was gonna get him to stay , I began to almost be persuaded.(lol) However the spirit of God would not let me go for it. I even wanted to believe him but I trusted the lord’s spirit. I spoke to my Pastor about it later , who by the way taught false doctrine, and he answered “ o, he is just confused.” I didn’t think so. He had at least 30 scriptures to back up his charge against our church. I didn’t leave the church but I still hadn’t gotten an answer. I figured, hey pastor said he was wrong so he must be. I was wrong.

Of course my pastor was on the Sunday side. He said it didn’t matter but never gave scripture to prove it. It didn’t help that he taught a lot of old testament laws like fistfuits for us to observe.  So of course at the time it was all confusing. My pastor would always say things to make you feel like you sinned if you missed church. He used the scripture that said they went out from among us because they were never with us. A scare tactic really. If it didn’t matter what was the big deal? Of course I never missed a Sunday unless I was out of town because of this.

Well about two years later after I left the Church, the lord revealed the truth about the topic. I had to get off of one side and get on the lord’s side. Now People fight over the real day of worship but who is right. Those who say Saturday is the only day of worship say this because of the old testament law to obey the sabbath day (Lev 16:31). Those who say it’s on Sunday use scriptures showing the lord supper being observed on the first day of the week ( Acts 20:7), claiming that the day changed. However most believers struggle with the revelation given by Paul in Col 2:16,17. Lets briefly check out the scripture.

Col 2:16,17

16.Don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or what you drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17. For these rules are only a shadow of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

The Answer

Niether day is the only day you can have church and worship the lord. The bible says not to let any one condemn you of what day you choose to worship God. Or even if you don’t observe the sabbath day. For it was only a shadow of the true reality to come, only shadows of Christ. Let me give you a quick example.

Sabbath day , old testament Shadow of Day of rest

Lev 23:3, NLT

You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of complete rest an official day for holy assembly. It is the Lord’s Sabbath day, and it must be observed wherever you live.

This is the shadow cast in the old testament

New testament reality to come of Day of rest

Heb:4:9,10 NLT

So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. 10. for all who have entered his rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after after creating the world.

The reality the lord returning and we entering his rest.(compare Mathew 25:43, Rev 14:13) It shall be the same rest that has been laid up and prepared for us from the very foundation of the world. Remember, Christ is the reality of that shadow so the shadow is the lord himself and what he brings with him. It’s the place every true believer awaits. For both scripture picture both. One it being the lord himself. And the other the place the lord has prepared for us. This means it is of the lord and what is awaiting when he returns, for we cant build a doctrine with one scripture and throw the other out.

So you choose the day you want to worship the lord. Don’t let any body tell you what day you want to acknowledge as holy. The true sabbath day will be the eternal rest. Most people don’t talk about this because of their own pride to get people to work in their churches and get a natural reward. However we have an eternal reward awaiting us and we look froward to the true sabbath. Until then stay alert for this great day and worship him in spirit and in truth any day you choose.

Get ready for number 9 where we are going to deal with another lie dealing with the book of revelations called “Revelations the Scary Book” , of the top 10 Church tradition topics and lies

Here at Church Tradition Breaker.

I’m here to bring you truth. We are going to start off by dealing with the top 10 Church tradition topics and lies. Traditions of men have caused the body of Christ to loose focus of the truth. I’m going to do a series of Blogs that will help you to see the truth. It’s time that we exposed these lies. So what are the top 10. I would give you the list ,but I think the journey will be a lot funner for us if I didn’t.

My purpose is to restore the love of the true church back into the hearts of the true chosen believers. My tactic will be exposing what people have called church. Why, because I my self have been in the position of displaying fake love as a result of these traditions. In the end ,I got damaged badly. But instead of running away from the place that I love, I studied many of these issues that cause people to have Church, instead of be the Church. These issues cause Christians to fight each other because their leader picks which side he will accept. Therefore we have division descised as denominations (organized division from satan) . I studied evey intricate part of the church only to find out that man has added so much to the bible. I found that there were many parts of the church that the bible never authorized to go forth.

Could it be you were hurt by a lie, or by some false truth. Keep in mind if a lot has been added, then a lot is missing. That is why I am here. I am a preacher and was a leader in the church. I have seen what can happen when these lies are seen as truth . I’m not some angry guy lookn from the out side in. I came from the places that I now expose. I was trained in the very places where denominations split the body. The lord rescued me and commission me to get back out there and teach the truth, expose these lies, and be the Church tradition breaker.

 The true believers must revisit the outline of the original Church. In doing so you will discover that there is a lot of things going on that is not scriptural based. In doing so the traditions of men have overtaken the true of the word in the hearts of men. Our love has grown cold. Our allegiance has been given to men over the truth of the word. Consider this:

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world…

The word conformed means to fashion alike. It comes from two words meaning external condition and together. To be not conformed to this world (age) means not to fashion ourselves like this present age. In today’s age there are two kind of churches. Jesus Church, which is a church where love is the fruit (John 15:5,10,12), and The False Teacher’s Church whose fruit is greed (2nd Peter 2:14 NLT ). To conform to this world is not only to live a life style according to the pattern of this world’s system, but it is also to worship in the pattern of this world. (Col 2:20). This world system has a business mind frame that prevents true love from entering the lives of the believer’s mindset. Members struggle over the truth vs. proper church protocol because the leadership deceitfully twist scriptures.

Col 2:8 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.

The False Church has teachers who spoil (lead astray as goods or property seized by force or piracy) people by deception (Mathew 24:11-14) ,as prophesied by the Lord. The evidence is the love of many being waxed cold, which is by implication a reduction of temperature. The love of many gone cold, has effected our ministries to now be about profit, money, and purpose. Instead of fulfilling the needs of the saints (Rom 12:13), doctrines have formed through philosophy. This word means love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self discipline. As we see in the scripture it is after the traditions of men. Men have created traditions that seem wise but go contrary to the commandments of God (Mathew 15:3-6). This causes their worship to be in vain as they teach the commandments of men as doctrine (Mathew 15:9). The false teachers created this by adding their philosophy, and vain deceit. Vain deceit means empty delusion. Delusion means a false belief or opinion. This shows again the false teachers strategy . Many people have gone against scripture by creating an opinion and adding it to the meaning of the scripture. Which is why we have so many denominations against one another. People then choose where their opinion lays and follow the doctrine or false teacher that teaches it. In Corinth, we see the nature of children in Christ, which is to say I will follow the man (1 Cor 3:1-4 ). In this division there is no love because we are not united as one. The bible says that we are to be perfectly joint together in the same mind and the same judgment (1 Cor 1:10). However, in attempts to come together people come to the conclusion that the only thing important is if we both believe in Christ, but they fail to realize that this doesn’t solve the issue of division . True unity can only be achieved in mind and judgment.

Col 2:20 20.Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world , why , as though living in the world , are ye subject to ordinances, 21.) touch not: taste not: handle not: 22 .)which all are to perish with the using:) after commandments and doctrines of men?

It’s time for those who have conformed to step out of the worldly church. The definition of worldly is not liberal. The worldly church is the industry church that is established on greed, the traditions of men, and false rules that aren’t in the bible. It’s time for the true Church to unite as we prepare for the Lord’s return, preaching the gospel of the kingdom (Mathew 24:14). For after this the end shall come. This is the same message they desired to hear but we shall hear to day. They wanted to know when the lord’s kingdom would be established (Acts 1:6), it shall happen after this.
