Faith and the Present Churches

What is the faith of the churches who qualify themselves as ‘Christian?’ What is the faith of the Catholic Church that takes pride that it was established by Jesus Christ on Peter? If the believers had remained one in faith, by appropriating the thought of God through the Holy Spirit and the Holy Wisdom that are given to them, they would not have been divided into so many groups. The present church-goers are living witnesses to the fact that they do not have the faith that they claim they have. These churches themselves give teachings that are contradictory to the true faith. The priests and church authorities give leadership from the front for this apostasy. All the activities, teachings and abominations that flourish in the catholic church, and that are contradictory to the true faith, are done and justified in the name of the spirit of the Vatican Council II. A spirit that has committed and justifies apostasies to such a horrible degree cannot be seen as divine by anyone who has the Light of the Word of God and Divine Wisdom in him.

I        The Creed that is proclaimed but not practiced

Though the present churches have a creed for name sake, these creeds remain a mere verbal exercise. This is proved by the lives of the church believers and the present teachings of these churches. As we go through the various aspects of the catholic creed and compare it with what people actually believe and do, we realize that these creeds are merely empty words for them. In the speeches and writings of innumerable church scholars, bishops, cardinals, the church approved preachers and even the Pope, we see countless teachings contradictory to the true faith.

1. The present churches do not believe in One God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. (from the Apostles’ Creed).

A   God – Almighty

i)  Since the church believers do not know the power of God the Father, they do not know the Salvation He gives.

Wis. 15/3 - For to know you is complete righteousness, and to know your power is the root of immortality.

Mk. 12/24 - Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?

God the Father created human beings giving power equal to His own (Sir. 17/3). Since they are not able to comprehend the power of God the Father, they do not realise from what state they have fallen down nor the state to which they have to return.

Is. 45/20-24 - Assemble yourselves and come together, draw near, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge-- those who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.   Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together. Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is no one besides me. Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth. For I am God, and there is no other.By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; all who were incensed against him shall come to him and be ashamed.

Is. 46/5 - To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me, as though we were alike?

Is. 40/12-18 - Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who has directed the spirit of the LORD, or as his counselor has instructed him? Whom did he consult for his enlightenment, and who taught him the path of justice? Who taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as dust on the scales; see, he takes up the isles like fine dust. Lebanon would not provide fuel enough, nor are its animals enough for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness. To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him?  An idol?-- A workman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts for it silver chains. As a gift one chooses mulberry wood-- wood that will not rot-- then seeks out a skilled artisan to set up an image that will not topple. Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in; who brings princes to naught, and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing. Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when he blows upon them, and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble. To whom then will you compare me, or who is my equal? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: Who created these? He who brings out their host and numbers them, calling them all by name; because he is great in strength, mighty in power, not one is missing.

Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"?Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

ii) Since the church believers do not know the power of God the Father, they go after many other gods and adore them and praise them, respect those who have their spirits and imitate others’ customs and traditions, which is against God’s command (Deu. 18/9). There are many priests and church believers who practice sorcery, witchcraft, palmistry, astrology, etc. and seek the service of those who practice them. All these prove that they do not believe in a God who is Almighty.

iii)  Since the church believers do not know the power of God the Father, they do not give any value to the Word of God. But they give great value and glory to and obey the words of men who have only an authority, which is passing and is pertaining to only this world and this body. They accept verbatim all the words of people, right from Aquinas who wrote ‘science’ to God, all philosophers right from Aristotle and all thinkers who do not believe in God, or who reject God and worship man. But since they do not give any respect or obey or fear the Word of God, they take other books as more desirable, appealing and authoritative.

Jer. 23/29 - Is not my word like fire, says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

God the Father is pleased with those who stand before the Word of God with humility, repentance and trembling (Is. 66/2).

B   God – the Father

Jn. 8/39-47 - They answered him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did, but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.You are indeed doing what your father does. They said to him, We are not illegitimate children; we have one father, God himself.  Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own, but he sent me.Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot accept my word. You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?Whoever is from God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is that you are not from God.

If the church believers had been the Children of God, they would have done what Abraham had done. Abraham did the works of faith.  Abraham knew through his faith that the Unseen Word of God came forth from the Visible Father, and all that are seen came forth the Unseen Word (Heb. 11/1-3).  Abraham believed in the Word of the Father more than anything else. He loved God the Father more than himself and his son Isaac. He was justified through the act of faith. Since he had the will to fulfill the Will of God, he recognized the Voice of God. But today since the church believers have no love of God, they have been committing acts that hurt and displease God the Father. Thus, they reject the Commandments of God and adore Him in vain (Mt. 15/8-9).

Mal. 1/6 - A son honors his father, and servants their master. If then I am a father, where is the honor due me? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name.

Those who love God as Father will love Emmanuel. They will obey Emmanuel. Because it is God the Father who has sent Emmanuel. If a person loves Emmanuel, he will burst forth in joy and wait eagerly for Him and get ready to meet Him, when he is told that Emmanuel has come again into this world. If they had loved God the Father, they would have been extremely happy to hear the Good News (Satvartha) that God the Father is coming to meet His Children (Amos. 4/12). But now, the churches do not believe or accept the Good News that Jesus Christ has come again in flesh and God the Father is coming. The church authorities speak only lies. The Word of God is the Truth (Jn. 17/17). Everything that is contradictory to the Word of God is lie (false word). But today the church authorities receive, study and teach all other philosophies and belief systems. They have made the ultimate Truth – the Word of God into one of the many relative truths. Besides, all the accusations the church authorities print and distribute through leaflets, articles and books are all blatant lies in the presence of God. Just as the chief priests and Pharisees paraded false witness against Jesus Christ, today the church authorities bring forth false witnesses and spread false rumours. They have no Truth left in them. The spirit in those who tell lies (false word) is from satan, the father of lies (false words) (John 8/39-47). God is not their Father.

C   One True God

Ex. 34/14 – You shall worship no other god, because the LORD, whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God).

Jer. 2/11-13 - Has a nation changed its gods, even though they are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for something that does not profit. Be appalled, O heavens, at this, be shocked, be utterly desolate, says the LORD, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.  

1 Tim. 2/5 - For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human.

Mk. 12/28-30 - One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

1 Cor. 8/6 - Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

Today, for the church authorities and church believers, all the ‘god-concepts’ of other belief systems are ‘God’.  For them, anything can be added to the Word of God and all such added things are truth. This is exemplified in the Community Bible, published by the catholic church. The truth is that in a seminary, no one teaches belief in One True God. The church believers think that it is belittling to profess belief in One True God. For them such an act shows the lack of an enlightened and liberal thinking. An ordinary Christian has rejected the One True God who has only One True Name (Is. 52/6) and falsely thinks that God has different names and truth can be said in different ways. Priests, church scholars and church believers say that all people worship the same God and this God is only called in different names. This is a blatant violation of the belief in the One True God. The priests and the church believers have become the spokes-persons of the New World Order, which is the brain child of the Antichrist that considers all sorts of beliefs as true and worthy.

We see around us many bishops, priests, church believers and even the Pope who undertake pilgrimage to centres of other religions and pray to ‘gods’ other than the One True God, the Father of Jesus Christ and the Creator and the Ruler of the Universe. Today seminarians – the would be priests – are taken by their priest-professors to various non-Christian religious centres, for what they call a ‘god experience’. What they learn in these seminaries are everything that is contradictory to the belief in the One True God. What scholars teach the aspirants to priesthood are non-christian philosophies, other myths, and notions contradictory to belief in the One True God. What will be the state of people who are taught by priests who are churned out from such seminary factories? Can a real believer in the One True God, go to any place where there is no presence of the One True God, for a god-experience? Is it the sign of true belief?

E   Idolatry

Today church believers do not love God the Father with all their heart, soul, power and mind. Many other people like, their spouses, children, parents, parish priests, church authorities and church as an institution are now taking the place of God the Father for these people. They love their body, beauty, house, friends, honour, wealth, fame, job, church etc. more than God the Father. These are all the idols that the church believers have created for themselves. How can they claim that they have belief in One True God? Anyone who does not obey the First Commandment fully, does not believe in the One True God.

F  The Violation of the First Commandment, called Inculturation

Lev. 20/26 - You shall be holy to me; for I the LORD am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples to be mine.

But the church authorities today embrace inculturation, claiming that this Word of God is from the Old Testament and that Jesus Christ renewed everything in the New Testament and the times have changed. It was from the Vatican Council II that this abomination began reigning in the church.

G)  Churches do not teach the First Commandment but teach the violation of it.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill, to bring to completion, the law and the prophets (Mt. 5/17-18) and He taught and fulfilled all the Commandments from the 2nd to the 10th. This is mostly done in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5, 6, 7). But Jesus Christ commanded to read and obey the First Commandment (Lk. 10/25-27, Mk. 12/28-31) as it is written and taught by Moses (Deu. 6/4-9, Ex. 20/1-6). He obeyed the First Commandment as God the Father ordered through Moses. True believers must obey it as Jesus Christ did. But most church believers do not even know what is the First and the most important Commandment. Most of them would say that it is Ex. 20/2-3.

Ex. 20/2-3 - I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;   you shall have no other gods before me.

But this is only the introduction. Because satan also knows this and he trembles at it (Jam. 2/19). But the real First Commandment is Luke. 10/27.

Lk. 10/27 - He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

Mk. 12/28-30 - One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, Which commandment is the first of all?  Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one;  you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

Anyone who violates one Commandment, violates all the Commandments (Jam. 2/10). Anyone who violates or teaches to violate even the simplest Commandment will be called the least in the Kingdom of God (Mt. 5/19). If it is so, what will be the fate of the church authorities who teach the violation of the First Commandment. How can they claim to be believers?

Rom. 12/2 - Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God-- what is good and acceptable and perfect.

But today the church authorities and church believers use all kinds of non-christian symbols, objects and imitate all types of non-christian practices and build churches which evoke non-christian philosophy. The spirit behind all these violations is none other than the spirit of Vatican Council II. National Biblical, Catechetical and Liturgical Centre and other Christian Religious Congregations lead this blasphemy and abomination from the front.

Deut. 12/30-31 - Take care that you are not snared into imitating them, after they have been destroyed before you: do not inquire concerning their gods, saying, "How did these nations worship their gods? I also want to do the same."  You must not do the same for the LORD your God, because every abhorrent thing that the LORD hates they have done for their gods. They would even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

2.  Churches do not in fact believe in, receive or worship Jesus Christ as the Only Saviour, the Only Way, the Only Teacher and the Only Lord.

We believe in Jesus Christ, His Only Son Our Lord (from the  Apostles’ Creed).

A  Jesus Christ – the Only Saviour

Acts 4/12 - There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.

Phil. 3/20 - But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The churches now teach that there is salvation everywhere, there is truth everywhere. So Christians should study from everywhere and get experience from all places. Christian life is based on the belief that Jesus Christ is the Only Saviour and only through Him we are able to reach God the Father. But today church scholars have rejected, de facto, God the Father and Jesus Christ.

1 Jn. 2/22 - Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

Luke. 18/8 - I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?

Holy Mother teaches that when Jesus Christ comes the second time (Phil. 3/20), He will not see any faith among the church believers.

B   Jesus Christ – the Only Way

Jn. 14/6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

In order to offer us as blameless, holy and pure (Col. 1/22), Baptism (Jn. 3/5), the Word of God (Jn. 6/63, 8/51) and the Holy Eucharist (Jn. 6/51) are given. Here three comprise of the Way, that is Jesus Christ.

But churches have rejected Jesus Christ, the Only Way, by declaring that they do not baptize anyone and by teaching that baptism is not required for salvation.

Mk. 16/15-16 - And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. 16  The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned.

Mt. 28/19-20 - Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20  and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Jn. 3/5 - Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.

Since they sell the Word of God, after adulterating it, the church believers do not produce the power or fruits of the Word of God. The priest and the authorities close the Way that is the Word of God by declaring that the Word of God has passed away. They have given to their interpretations of the Word of God more importance than to the Word of God per se (Mt. 23/13).

The offering of the Holy Eucharist with impurity and abomination in heart has become unacceptable to God the Father. The churches have made the Holy Eucharist offensive to God the Father by using symbols, objects, utensils, rituals that God has forbidden His children to use (Deu. 12/30-31). They have insulted God the Father by offering all sorts of evil dirt, wrongdoings and sins, as Cain did (Gen. 4/3-7).

Mal. 1/6-10 - A son honors his father, and servants their master. If then I am a father, where is the honor due me? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. You say, "How have we despised your name?" 7  By offering polluted food on my altar. And you say, "How have we polluted it?" By thinking that the LORD's table may be despised. 8  When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not wrong? Try presenting that to your governor; will he be pleased with you or show you favor? says the LORD of hosts. 9  And now implore the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. The fault is yours. Will he show favor to any of you? says the LORD of hosts. 10  Oh, that someone among you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will not accept an offering from your hands.

Besides citing the pseudo-logic that it is not practical to give both the Holy Body and Holy Blood in the Holy Eucharist only Holy Body is given to the ordinary believers. But the priests or the celebrants receive both the Holy Body and Holy Blood. To justify this act, priests often put forward the pseudo-argument that in the body, blood also is contained. But Jesus Christ gave His Body and Blood to his disciples separately. According to the Churches, poor Son of God did not know that the body contains blood also!

1 Jn. 1/7 - ... (T)he blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Heb. 9/22 - Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

Lev. 17/11 - For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you for making atonement for your lives on the altar; for, as life, it is the blood that makes atonement.

Then the priests have decided that the laity should not get the remission of their sins.

The Holy Eucharist which is the remembrance of the sacrifice on Mt. Calvary, where God the Father allowed His own Son to be broken up (Is. 53/5) is offered at places which God the Father hates most. Then church authorities have rejected the Eucharist and hurt God the Father. So God the Father has made the Mass offered in today’s churches invalid. He has declared that Mass is unacceptable to Him. Now the church authorities and church believers ‘think’ that they are offering the Holy Eucharist. But in fact it is not so (Jn. 16/1-4).

Besides, these churches are unanimous in their teachings that the Eucharist is to be offered till the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 11/26). Now that the Lord Jesus Christ has come with His Body into this world again (1 Jn. 4/2), the Eucharist offered in these churches have become null and void. (Of course, as far as God the Father is concerned and not for the church believers)

Moreover, the Holy Mass that Jesus Christ instituted on the Eve of His death on the Cross was not the fulfilled Banquet. It will become complete in the Wedding Feast of the Lamb (Lk. 22/16-18). Word of God, that is Spirit and Life was instilled into the bread and wine by Jesus Christ. But He had to receive death and it was the offering of one who has death. Then in His First Coming only 15% of the Word of God about Him were fulfilled. Now in the End, when all the Word of God about Him are fulfilled, He will give the perfect Feast (Is. 25/6-8).

For all these reasons, God the Father declares that the priests have gone astray from the Way (Mal. 2/7-9). Now they are not travelling along the Way, that is Jesus Christ.

C   Jesus Christ – the Only Teacher

The believers have only One teacher Jesus Christ, the Word Incarnate (Mt. 23/8). Only He must be called ‘Rabbi’ (Mt. 23/8). It is from Him that we have to learn (Mt. 11/29-30). But now all are teachers for the churches. The teachings of Jesus Christ was of God the Father (Jn. 7/16-17). Jesus Christ sent His Apostles in the same way and for the same job, for which Jesus Christ was sent by God the Father (Jn. 20/22). One of the three commitments Jesus Christ gave to His disciples before His Ascension was to teach people to obey whatever He had taught them (Mt. 28/19-20). Jesus Christ did not authorize them to teach anything new or anything of their own. Just like Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did not have anything of His own to teach, the Apostles and their successors have no right to move away even a bit from the teachings of Jesus Christ. But the church believers have rejected Jesus Christ the True Teacher (Jud. 1/4). By mixing up false word with the Word of God and distorting the Word of God, by compromising the Word of God to confirm to the world and by getting their intellect filled with darkness by the god of this world (1 Cor. 4/4), the church scholars and authorities have produced a duplicate gospel to suit themselves. They have many teachers and doctors now.

D   Jesus Christ – the Only Lord

‘Lord’ means one who has rights and authority over every aspect of a person’s life. Jesus Christ is the Only Lord. Only Jesus Christ should have the complete lordship over a believer. For He is our Creator and Redeemer.

Is. 54/5 - For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is his name; the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called.

Jesus Christ has bought us by giving His own Holy Blood (1 Cor. 6/19-20). If Jesus Christ had been the True Lord of the church leaders, they would have been completely under the authority and reign of His Words.

But today the bishops, cardinals and the Pope are called ‘lords’. ‘Mar’ means lord (In Malayalam the term ‘Mar’ is addressed before the names of Bishops, cardinals and pope). These church authorities have displaced Jesus Christ and have assumed lordship for themselves. The cardinals are called ‘His Eminence / Most High’. Only God is Most High. Thus they have placed themselves in the place of God. The cardinals are called ‘The Princes of the Church’ and then the Pope is ‘The King’. In fact as part of the Sodality to Our Lady, which was prayed by children in many catholic churches, people sing in Malayalam as 'Victory to Pope the King'. The Popes used to use the honourific personal pronoun 'We', used normally by kings, instead of the usual ‘I’, till recently. The Pope claims to be the successor of Peter. Did Jesus Christ appoint Peter as king. Jesus Christ is the King of kings. If it is not Jesus Christ it must be satan who appointed the pope as king. How did a priest become Reverend or a bishop lord? Did Jesus made any of his disciples to kneel down in front of him and did he place his sword on their shoulder and said, 'Rise Lord Peter' or 'Rise Lord Jacob' as was practiced in the medieval European culture? Where do the mere protectors of the Sheep of Jesus Christ, who were supposed to be servants, stand now? (Lk. 22/25-26). Jesus warns His disciples not to call anyone father (Mt. 23/9). But today everyone in the church hierarchy, right from an ordinary priest, is a father and the Pope is ‘Holy Father’. How blasphemously the pope has appropriated the title of God the Father for himself! All these priests have made themselves 'fathers'. All the titles that are used to address the Pope explicitly show blasphemy, craving for power and love for the glory and pleasures of this world. In this sense, the pope has become the vicar of Jesus Christ, one who substitutes and replaces Jesus Christ. The one who replaces Jesus Christ is the Antichrist. (Let any one who has the ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches (Rev. 2/7).) It is impossible for these church leaders to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord.

Peter never addressed himself as the Holy Father, but as an Apostle and a servant of Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 1/1, 2 Pet. 1/1).  He calls himself as ‘a co-elder, an eye witness of Jesus Christ’s sufferings and a participant in the glory yet to be revealed’ (1 Pet. 5/1).

E   The church authorities have become Jesus Christ’s unrightful vicars

Vicar means one who acts in place of another person. Jesus Christ never commissioned Peter to be His vicar. But Peter’s successors and other bishops self-appropriated this vicar-ship for themselves and began using vestments and miters of power. This is the same thing the farmers in the Vineyard of God the Father did in the parable Jesus told (Mt. 21/37-39). They try to be the heirs of the Vineyard by killing the son of the owner. Since this parable is about the Kingdom of God, the workers mentioned here are not the elders in the church of Judah, but the elders in the present churches. Because only after John the Baptist, is the Kingdom of God preached (Lk. 16/16). Those who are entrusted to build the house with the living stone which is the Word of God, have rejected the corner stone and have placed themselves in His stead (1 Pet. 2/4-5).

F   The church authorities rule over people unrightfully

The duty Jesus Christ entrusted Peter was to shepherd His flock. The sheep do not belong to Peter, but Jesus Christ has gained them by shedding His own blood (Act. 20/28). They are bought by the Lord (1 Cor. 6/19-20).

Jn. 21/15 - When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

Acts 20/28 - Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock, of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son.

The church authorities are guards of the sheep. Their duty was to nurture the sheep of Emmanuel by giving them Word of God and Wisdom. He declared that He would come again and would lead His flock out (Jn. 10/3-4) and take them along to His divine place, the Third Heaven (Jn. 14/1-3). Church authorities are the hired workers who are supposed to take care of the sheep of Emmanuel. If they do that duty in a pleasing manner to the Owner of the Sheep, they will get the wage they deserve (Mt. 20/14). The Holy Spirit clearly teaches how these guards of the sheep should take care of the sheep and that they should not exercise dominion of the sheep.

1 Pet. 5/2-3 -  I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it-- not for sordid gain but eagerly.  Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock.

Jesus Christ did not give the church the authority to rule. How can those who have no authority to rule, have absolute authority over the sheep? The Pope is dubbed as the supreme authority. By what right the bishop of Rome is the supreme authority over the sheep of Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ did not give any throne to Peter. Then, who instituted the so called throne of Peter, which the catholic church so highly uphold? Anyway, it is not of Divine origin. Just like the old Pharisees, who set up a so called throne of Moses, the catholic church has set a throne of Peter, only to maintain their grip over the believers and to lead them to eternal damnation.

Holy Spirit warns that the guards of the sheep will themselves turn out to be the wolves (Ez. 22/27, Act. 20/29). Holy Spirit prophesies that they will distort the Truth – the Word of God (Act. 20/29, 2 Tim. 4/3-4, Jer. 23/26). It is to the midst of these wolves, to the midst of the children of those who persecuted and killed the prophets (Mt. 5/12) that Emmanuel will send His little sheep in the Last Days (Mt. 10/16-17, 23). These wolves are the off springs of those who called Jesus Christ, Beelzebul (Mt. 10/25).

G   Churches, who have rejected Jesus Christ, have insulted His Kingship

Jesus Christ – Emmanuel – is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords (Rev. 19/16). There are so many prophesies written in the Sacred Scriptures regarding His Kingship, Dominion and Reign. He has come with His Body into this world again to fulfill these prophesies. He has not come in search of the sinners, or to atone for their sins (Heb. 9/28), not to be beaten up, insulted, wounded and to die, but to rule with an iron rod as Emperor. But all the church believers have rejected Emmanuel and insulted His Scripture. So God the Father has prepared a sword (persecution and destruction) against them (Ez. 21/6-13).

H   The churches who have rejected Jesus Christ have rejected the True Gospel and preach and teach ‘another gospel’.

The church authorities and the church believers have rejected the First Commandment (Lk. 10/27) and insulted the Word of God (Is. 5/24). Besides, they have dug empty wells (other teachings) that cannot hold water (Jer. 2/13). Catholics and many other churches teach that all scriptures are all same.

Prov. 30/5-6 - Every Word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to his words, or else He will rebuke you, and you will be found a liar.

Rev. 22/18-19 - I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

The catholic church has added many things to the Word of God. If we examine the Community Bible they published, we can understand this well. Some other churches have taken away many things from the Word of God. Both these churches have made God the Father a liar and thus made themselves worthy for damnation. They, who have rejected the Word of God, will be rejected by Jesus Christ when He comes in the glory of His Father (Lk. 9/26, Mt. 10/32-33).

The present Pope himself had recently said that the Words of Jesus are hard and it is impossible to obey all of them. After listening to the Words of Eternal Life, most disciples whom Jesus had selected said these same words and then onwards ceased to follow Jesus Christ (Jn. 6/66). So echoing the words of these the church authorities have declared that they are no longer following Jesus Christ.

1 Cor. 1/18-21 - For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe.

To comprehend the True meaning of the Word of God one should have the Spirit of Divine Wisdom, Holy Spirit and the Spirit of the Word of God (Is. 34/16). But the churches have rejected all these and have lost them. So they are not able to comprehend the true meaning of the Word of God. What they couldn’t understand, they dismissed as obsolete, and as passed away, as stories, myths and poems. The god of this world has filled their intellect with darkness, so that they do not get the Light of the Good News (2 Cor. 4/3-4). Since they could not comprehend, these Words of God are removed from them by satan (Mt. 13/19).

Instead, the churches teach ‘another gospel’.

Gal. 1/6-9 - I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed.

The True Gospel mentioned here is the Gospel the Apostles testified.

1 Jn. 1/1-2 - We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life--   this life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. 

This Gospel is the One written in the Holy Bible. Then what the Holy Spirit means by ‘another gospel’ is the gospel that is contradictory to the Written Word of God. The One preached by the Apostles of Jesus Christ. If we compare the gospel preached by the present churches and the Written Word of God, we can come to the conclusion that the present churches are preaching ‘another gospel’ because what they teach today contradictory to the Gospel taught by Jesus Christ. The catholic priests, bishops and Pope and authorities of other churches, who exhort people that they can and must receive from all other belief systems and proclaim that there is truth in all of them, do in fact preach ‘another gospel’. (It is not Zion that preaches ‘another gospel’). The church preachers are not lead by Holy Spirit but by another spirit – the Spirit of Antichrist – which is the duplicate spirit. Since the church has placed itself above the Word of God, which is called God and is the focus of worship, it is categorically proved that the church is lead by the spirit of the man of anarchy (2 Thes. 2/3-4).

I   Churches have rejected the Sign of Jesus Christ

The Cross is the sign of Redemption. The sign of the son of man under which the elect will be gathered is the Cross (Mt. 24/30-31). But as the churches have rejected Jesus Christ as the Only Saviour, they have also rejected the Cross. They have equated the Holy Cross with all other symbols and take pride in using them in their churches, .... and vestments.

3        Churches today insult Holy Mother

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary ... (from the Apostle’s creed of catholic church).

A.  Churches teach that Holy Mother is not a Perpetual Virgin

All protestant churches have already rejected Holy Mother and have fallen into the snare satan flashed before them. So they speak all kinds of evils against Holy Mother. But the catholic church also echoes these protestant churches in saying that Holy Mother is not Perpetual Virgin. This is mentioned in the foot note on Page 2 in the Malayalam Edition of the Bible, published by POC. But in the Creed the catholic church say that Holy Mother is Virgin. Every time a person says the creed, he calls Her Virgin. When you call a person a Virgin, you call her so because she is a Virgin when you actually call her so. When a woman conceives we take it for granted that she is no more a virgin. When she gives birth to her firstborn, we do not say that a virgin gave birth to a child. By professing that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, it is implied that even after the birth of Jesus Christ Holy Mother is and will always be Virgin. Having lost Divine Wisdom, and having been anesthetized by the poison called theology, the church believers and scholars have viewed Holy Mary purely from a human point of view. That is why they made this blunder.

B.   Churches teach that Holy Mother is an offspring of Adam

The Son of God who is the Word of God (Jn. 1/1-5) came into the womb of Holy Mother as Word, and not with His body. Then He did not have participation in the Body and Blood of God the Father. The seed was Word Himself (Lk. 1/28). The Word of God clearly proclaims that the Word of God incarnated, put on flesh (Jn. 1/14, Heb. 2/14). This happened through the faith of Holy Mother that the Word said by God the Father through Gabriel (Lk. 1/28) would incarnate in Her. The Son of God put on flesh, acquired His body in the Womb of Holy Mother. Thus God the Father gave us the atonement of our sins through the blood received through the Faith of Holy Mother (Rom. 3/26). The Son of God – the Word – got participation in the Body and Blood of God the Father, by participating in the Body and Blood of Holy Mary (Heb. 2/14), while the Children of God received this participation through Adam (Act. 17/26). But due to the sin of Adam the body and blood of all the offsprings of Adam got defiled and became slave of death. But Jesus Christ had to have a holy body and so He partook in a Holy Body and Blood, the Body and Blood of Holy Mother.

We are saved from our sins through the offering of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ (1 Jn. 1/8, Is. 53/4-5). Jesus Christ opened the Way to Heaven through the veil, which was His Body (Heb. 10/19-20). If the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ had not been holy, if we did not have participation in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, none of us would have been saved from our sins. Because, no body and blood that are under the law of death and sin can atone for the sins of men. The offerings should be blemishless in the presence of God. If Holy Mother had been an offspring of Adam, then Her Body and Blood also would have been defiled and under the law of death. Because the Word of God testifies that through one man (Adam) sin and death entered into the world and since all people committed sins, death spread to everyone (Rom. 5/12, 5/17).

All the Children of God were created in Adam (Act. 17/26). Due to the sin of Adam, all human beings are sinners, before they are conceived in their mother’s womb (Ps. 51/5). If Holy Mother had been an offspring of Adam the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ would also have been sinful. But Jesus Christ was sinless and He put on our likeness except in sin.

Thus the teaching of the catholic church that Holy Mother is the offspring of Adam, is one that negates all the salvific mysteries of Incarnation and the Redemption of Jesus Christ given to the Children of God.

C.  Churches give a perverted view of the Immaculate Conception of Holy Mary

The church believers have a distorted understanding of the Immaculate Conception of Holy Mary. Because the church scholars have not comprehended it properly. They declare that though it is normal for every human being to be born with the original sin, God the Father made an exception in the case of Holy Mary. So Holy Mary was born without the original sin.

But Holy Mary was born not from blood, from the desire of the flesh or from the will of the man, but from God (Jn. 1/13). The Word of God testifies that Holy Mother was born through the Word of God that came forth from the God the Father (Jam. 1/17, Sir. 1/5).

Prov. 8/22-30 - The LORD created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago.  Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.  When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.  Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth--  when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil.  When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,  when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,  when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,  then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always,

This is the ‘noble birth’ of Holy Mother (Wis. 8/3). Again one should not view these from a human point of view. Besides, the righteousness of God the Father is as sharp as His love and compassion. In the fulfillment of the righteousness of God the Father, even His Son Jesus Christ was not exempted (Mt. 3/15). In that sense, the Immaculate Conception of Holy Mary was not an exemption by God the Father. Holy Mother cannot but be born in this world through an Immaculate Conception.

D.  Churches teach that Holy Mother was saved through Jesus Christ

Angel Gabriel speaks only the Words of God the Father. God the Father hails Holy Mother as “Full of Grace” (Lk. 1/28). Now, the Law was given to the people of God through Moses. The Law and the Prophets were till John the Baptist. After that the Kingdom of God is preached (Lk. 16/16). We received Grace and Truth through Jesus Christ (Jn. 1/17). Then the Kingdom of God is given freely through Grace (Rom. 3/24). But Holy Mary is called “Full of Grace” by God the Father before Jesus Christ even comes into the Womb of Holy Mary. This is the fullness of Grace or Godliness. What the people of God received in the First Coming of Jesus Christ was the Grace of the forgiveness of sins (Eph. 1/7). But we receive the Immeasurable Grace, the Grace that enables us not to sin only at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Eph. 2/6-8). However, Holy Mother, who was filled with the Grace of God –Godliness – before the First Coming of Jesus Christ, was not in need of salvation. She is in fact the Co-redeemer.

E.  The catholic church teaches that Holy Mother died and then was assumed into Heaven

Holy Mother, the Mother of Divine Wisdom (Ws. 8/4) was with the Father during the creation of the world. She was born before the earth, or the first grain of sand came to be. But Adam was taken from soil. Only those who are taken from soil will return to the soil (Gen. 3/19). Since Holy Mary was not taken from soil, since she is changeless (Ws. 7/27), since she is filled with the Life-giving Law (Bar. 4/1) she cannot die. Those who say that Holy Mother died do not know who she is, and what is her glory.

Wis. 7/22-30 - There is in her a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible,  beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent, pure, and altogether subtle.  For wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.  For she is a breath of the power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into her.  For she is a reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his goodness.  Although she is but one, she can do all things, and while remaining in herself, she renews all things; in every generation she passes into holy souls and makes them friends of God, and prophets;  for God loves nothing so much as the person who lives with wisdom.  She is more beautiful than the sun, and excels every constellation of the stars. Compared with the light she is found to be superior,  for it is succeeded by the night, but against wisdom evil does not prevail.

Jn. 10/35 - If those to whom the word of God came were called 'gods'-- and the scripture cannot be annulled.

The Word of God came fully for the first time to Holy Mother (Lk. 1/28). Then will Jesus Christ not call Her ‘God’? If Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can call Her ‘God’ can’t we sinners call Her so? If He comes to a flock whom He cleanses from all impurities and sins and after filling them with the Word of God calls them ‘God’, will He not call so Holy Mary who is sinless, holy and the Mother of Divine Wisdom? Can such a Holy Mother die?

F.  Churches insult Holy Mother portraying Her as a mediator

1 Tim. 2/5 - For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human.

The Catholics and other church believers have belittled and insulted Holy Mother by portraying Her as a mediator to get their sicknesses cured, to get good jobs in foreign countries, for marriage to take place, to buy worldly things, to get from one’s problems, etc. The church authorities thus misuse Divine Wisdom. This is the same evil act of that Lucifer committed.

Eze. 28/17 - Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you.

But Holy Mother is not a mediator who does such favour. The Word of God never portrays Her in that manner. The catholics erroneously teach that Holy Mary played the role of an intercessor at the Wedding of Cana (Jn. 2/1-9). This is because they are not able to understand the Divine mysteries hidden in this passage in the Holy Scriptures.

But Holy Mother is not playing the role of an intercessor here. We should see the whole episode in the right perspective. Jesus Christ was the Saviour sent by God the Father to eradicate the works of satan. He came to engage in the work of God the Father (Lk. 2/49). His food was to fulfill the work of His Father (Jn. 4/34). But all the acts of God the Father have a right time, neither before nor after (Eccl. 3/1, 3/17, Sir. 39/16-17). Jesus Christ, led by Wisdom, did all His acts at the right time (Eph. 1/10, Jn. 12/29). But satan does not know the right time (Jn. 7/6). Only one who has Divine Wisdom knows the right time and right way (Ecl. 8/5). Even the devils know that before the appointed time Jesus Christ will not let them be tormented (Mt. 8/29). Jesus Christ scolds satan for asking Him to fulfill a Word of God before its right time (Lk. 4/9-12). If, as the churches teach Holy Mother induced Jesus Christ to engage in the Words of God the Father, by performing the miracle of turning water into wine, these churches would have to admit that in Holy Mary there was the spirit of satan. But God the Father, the Creator and Ruler of the Universe, is not so stupid and impotent to entrust His only Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour, into the hands of a person who is under the dominion of satan. This can be understood by anyone who has common sense. If so, what Holy Mother played at Cana is a much more greater role in the redemptive plan of God the Father. (There will be a detailed study of it in this website later).

4.  The churches teach that there is no Sheol and Jesus Christ did not go down to Sheol

The catholic church has removed the portion ‘descended to hell’ from the Apostles Creed. It has become a foolishness for church believers to profess that Jesus Christ descended to Sheol and preached to the souls there. What is very interesting is a famous ‘bible scholar’s’ comment on this. He says ‘descended into hell’ was mentioned in the Apostles’ Creed only to confirm that Jesus Christ truly died. What a queer logic! This shows nothing but the church scholars stubbornness in changing on and justifying their erroneous teaching and rejection of the Holy Scripture’s teaching on Sheol.

1 Pet. 3/18-20 - For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,  in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,  who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

Here again the above mentioned scholar who trumpets his false words through TV Channels says that the word Sheol/Hell is not mentioned here. He should tell people convincingly and based on the Word of God, where those who died in the time of Noah were after death. Here again we see the hard-heartedness and stubbornness of the church authorities in resisting the Word of God. They claim themselves to be greater than the Word of God (2 Thes. 2/3-4).

Eph. 4/7-10 - But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift.  Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people."  (When it says, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?  He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)

Though the Word of God right from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation testifies to the presence of Sheol in the interior of earth (Job 28/5, Num. 16/10, Num 16/35) the church priests and scholars continuously reject it and insult any who uphold the Word of God. Sheol and the hell are not the same. Sheol is within the earth and it will be destroyed, while hell is to remain for ever.

5.  Churches do not believe in Heaven

“ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father ... (from the creed of catholic church).

Though the church believers utter that Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father, the church scholars interpret all these are merely symbolic. They, whose intellect is filled with darkness by the god of this world (2 Cor. 4/4), teach that heaven is merely a state of the soul.

As per the testimony of the Word of God a human being, who is a Child of God the Father, consists of body, mind and soul. God the Father declares again and again that all that He created are good (Gen. 1/4, 1/10, 1/18, 1/21, 1/25, 1/31).

Human beings, who were created by the True Word of God and formed by Divine Wisdom, became subject of the laws of the flesh and decay and death only when they became a slave of sin by receiving false word.

But many other philosophies teach that the body is evil and the soul is caged in the body as a bird is in its cage. For those who hold such views, salvation is the escape of soul from body. It is by accepting and conforming to such philosophies, that appeal to the human intellect but are contradictory to the Word of God and true faith, that the churches now reject heaven and speak about the so called state of the soul.

God the Father has given the hope for the resurrection of the body only to His Children. But for the churches, God the Father has no Body. So they do not believe that the Unseen Word of God came forth from God the Father, who is seen and has Body and Blood, and this Word created all the seen things. It is to give witness to the Body and Blood of God the Father and to the resurrection of the Body that the Word of God foretells, that Jesus Christ took flesh and Blood (Heb. 2/14). Jesus Christ proves that He has a body and blood by eating cooked fish after his resurrection(Lk. 24/36-43). The saints who resurrected after His resurrection entered Jerusalem and many could see them with their naked eyes. It was possible because they had a body (Mt. 27/51-53). The church leaders have to tell what happened to the body of the risen Jesus Christ and the risen saints? In order to live in the houses that the Son of God has prepared in the Eternal City in the New Earth, one should have a heavenly body.

Acts 3/21 - He must remain in heaven until the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through his holy prophets.

Jn 14/1-3 - Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go t.o prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.

The ‘christians’ who profess their belief in the One who had promised that He would come back and take them along with Him to the ‘places’ He has prepared, have made the Son of God a liar, by not believing in such a place. They have pictured God the Father, who testified this promise of Jesus Christ (Act. 1/11), as a liar. Is it not another proof of the great apostasy prophesied by the Holy Spirit (2 Thes. 2/3) and warned by Holy Mother at Fatima?

6. Churches give teachings about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ that are contradictory to the Word of God.

 He will come again to judge the living and the dead ... (from the Apostles' creed)

The church believers do not teach nor are ready to believe that Jesus Christ will come again to this world (Zion proclaims that He HAS COME). He will give the full fruit of Salvation and will take along with Him those who are given to Him by God the Father, after filling them with Immeasurable Love, Grace and Power, to the heavenly city in the New Earth (Jn. 14/1-3, Phil. 3/20-21, Heb. 9/28). They have not understood the fact that His Second Coming and the End of Ages are two distinct events (Mt. 24/3). They do not believe nor are ready to believe that a flock will be gathered at a place (both called Zion by God the Father) and will be prepared through the Service of the Spirit to receive God the Father. In short this faithless and insincere (adulterous) generation (Mt. 12/39) has been given none of mysteries of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The church believers reject the Second Coming of Jesus Christ saying that no one can know the time of His coming and that many will appear proclaiming that they are Christ in the Last Days. The Lord may appear out of the blue in mid air and He will probably take to Heaven those who are prepared. This is the normal thinking of an average catholic and the priest have nothing more to say. Many others speak of a rapture and they have been speaking like this for quite a long time. Though these groups said that Jesus Christ was coming soon, the Saviour did not come at any time they had foretold. These groups in fact reject the Mother of Divine Wisdom and so they do not know the right time and the right Way (Ecl. 8/5).

The Word of God testifies that God the Father is Righteous. But if God the Father acts as mentioned above can we say that He is just? Now, if indeed He appears in mid air, will there be anyone ready to be taken along with Him? If God the Father acted so, many of the written Word of God will remain unfulfilled. But that is impossible. All the written Word of God will be fulfilled (Lk. 24/24, 22/37). Word is established in Heaven (Ps. 119/89)and It will not pass away (Lk. 21/33, 1 Pet. 1/25). Jesus Christ and Holy Mother obeyed the Written of Word of God (Lk. 22/37, Mt. 26/44, Lk. 1/38). Even God the Father will act according to the Written Word of God.

Jesus Christ has come with His Body. He has come to this world for the Second Time (1 Jn. 4/2). To fulfill what God the Father said through Prophet Isaiah, He is now called Emmanuel (Is. 7/14). In His First Coming, He was not called so. Now He is living on this earth as one of us (Jer. 14/8-9). Only 15% of the prophesies regarding the Son of God were fulfilled in His First Coming, and the rest 85% of prophesies are to be fulfilled in His Second Coming. Now the Holy Spirit dwells only in those who confess that Jesus Christ has come with His Body (1 Jn. 4/2). Emmanuel, the Righteous Judge, gathers those who belong to Him, those who listen to His voice and come out from the churches (Jn. 10/3) and those who do not belong to the world (Jn. 10/16) at Zion. Through His spirit, He purifies this flock and fills into them immeasurable Love, Grace and Power and a pre-taste (an example) of the Kingdom of God is brought about on this earth. What echoes in Zion is the trumpet call that Emmanuel, the Son of Man, is coming to execute His Righteous Judgment (Is. 40/9, 10, 13, 19).

The Great Good News (Satvartha) that God the Father is coming to this earth to meet His Children, is not known to any church believer, nor do they believe that.

Is. 64/4 - From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who works for those who wait for him.

Amo. 4/12 - Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel

Tit. 2/13 - while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

1 Jn. 3/1-3 - See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.  Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.  And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Lk. 20/15-16 - So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?  He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others. When they heard this, they said, Heaven forbid.

Ps. 84/7 - They go from strength to strength; they will see God in Zion.

Is. 59/20-21 - And he will come to Zion as Redeemer, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression, says the LORD.  And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says the LORD: my spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your children, or out of the mouths of your children's children, says the LORD, from now on and forever.

God the Father is the owner of the vineyard. The workers who were entrusted with the duty to establish the Kingdom of God are the church authorities. But, these authorities and the people they teach, reject and insult the News that God the Father is coming and persecute those who proclaim this Good News.

The church scholars proclaim with the stubbornness of infallibility that Jesus Christ will not come, there is no need to wait for anyone and this world will continue to run as it does today. A scholar and ‘defender’ of faith made a dogmatic statement in a recent TV program that since Jesus Christ comes everyday in the Eucharist, there is no point in waiting for His Second Coming.

A so called church scholar in Kerala categorically states that Jesus Christ is coming every day in the Mass and so there is no need to think of a Second Coming of Jesus Christ. A classic proof of the loss of Divine Wisdom from the lips of priests! (Mal. 2/7-9). Zion proclaims that Emmanuel, the Emperor and Saviour, will reveal Himself at Zion (Is. 59/20-21, 40/9-10) and that they will see Him in His glory with their naked eyes (Is. 52/8). But insulting this faith and contradicting the Word of God, the church scholars write and publish articles like, ‘waiting for an Emperor who will never come’. What can be said about the lack of faith among the church authorities?

7. Church scholars emphasise that the world will never end

2 Pet. 3/10-12 - But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed.  Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness,  waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire?

Lk. 21/33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Rev. 21/1  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

Zeph. 1/2-3  I will utterly sweep away everything from the face of the earth, says the LORD.  I will sweep away humans and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. I will make the wicked stumble. I will cut off humanity from the face of the earth, says the LORD.

Is. 13/9 - See, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy its sinners from it.

When many such verses in the Holy Scriptures testify the End of Ages, the church authorities, who have placed themselves above the Word of God (2 Thes. 2/4) categorically teach that the heaven and earth will not pass away and the history of the world will not come to an end. So the use of plastic is a mortal sin, according to the catholic church and the greatest responsibility of these churches is the protection of the environment. There is nothing surprising here, because the only aim of these churches has been the building up of a Babel Culture in this world. The End of the Ages is the Day of the Wrath of God. When the world of Noah was destroyed in a flood and Sodom and Gomorrah were annihilated by bringing down fire and sulphar, only a small portion of the wrath of God was poured out. The fact that no living things survive in these places is a testimony and lesson to the future generation (2 Pet. 2/4-6). The End of the Ages is the Day of God’s Righteousness. Those who continue to indulge in their evil activities under the notion that God is love, forget that God the Father is Righteous. God the Father let His Son, Jesus Christ, to be sacrificed on Calvary for the atonement of sins. This proclaims not only the love of God, the Father, but also His righteousness. His righteousness is as sharp as His love is tender!

The church scholars continue to negate the Good News about the End of Ages by repeating that neither the angels in Heaven, nor even the Son knows about ‘That Day’ or ‘That Hour’ (Mt. 24/36) and that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief (1 Thes. 5/2). So they say that no one can say when the End will approach.

The Word of God testifies that those who say that the world will never end will appear in the Last Days.

2 Pet. 3/3-7 –  First of all you must understand this, that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and indulging their own lusts and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since our ancestors died, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water, through which the world of that time was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the godless.

The church scholars not only blaspheme against God, but also confess that they are in darkness and that they are the children of darkness by repeating that the Lord will come like a thief.

1 Thes. 5/2-9 – For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When they say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape. But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; for those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.  For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ

Rev. 3/3 – Remember then what you received and heard; obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.

Darkness is the state when there is no light. The Word of God is the Light (Ps. 119/105, Jn. 1/4-5). When Emmanuel is on the earth, He is the Light of the World (Jn. 9/5, Is. 42/7). Darkness is satan, because there is no light in him. There is no Truth (Word of God) in satan. Instead he is full of false-words (Jn. 8/44). Those who do not have living Word of God in them are actually in darkness. They are in fact the children of satan. For them, Emmanuel will come like a thief.

8. The churches negate and sin against Holy Spirit

We believe also in the Holy Spirit (from the Apostles' creed)

Church believers think that there is Holy Spirit everywhere. But in a place where there is no Godliness, the Spirit of God the Father will not be present. In a place where people do not proclaim that Jesus Christ is the Only Saviour, Holy Spirit will not be present. In a place where the First Commandment is violated, Holy Spirit will not be present. In a place where Holy Mary is not honoured as She should be, the Holy Spirit will not be present. But churches today teach that the Holy Spirit is present in all these places and so for them, all places are holy and can lead to salvation. Thus churches reject and insult the Holy Spirit.

These church believers sin against Holy Spirit by speaking ill of the One send by God the Father and the works of God. In the 40 years of journey through the desert, it was against Moses that the Israelites often spoke against and complained. God did not forgive them and destroyed all of them (Num. 16/25-35). Jesus Christ reminded those who spoke ill of the Holy Spirit that worked in Him about the horror of that sin (Mt. 12/32).

A person receives Holy Spirit when he has sanctity and true faith and confesses that Jesus Christ is the Only Saviour and a person who has Holy Spirit in him places his hand on the spirant and prays for him. The only person who had Holy Spirit at the time of Pentecost was Holy Mother. A person who has Holy Spirit in him, cannot abuse or reject Holy Mother. Any one or any church that insults Holy Mary has no Holy Spirit in him. But the catholic church has now insulted Her by teaching that She is an offspring of Adam and it was through Jesus Christ that She also got saved. Misusing the Divine Wisdom for self glory and the glory of others, they insult Holy Mary. Caricaturing Holy Mary as a mediator, who cures their diseases and get their worldly needs fulfilled, they insult Holy Mary. Thus they have insulted also the Holy Spirit. The churches have outrightly rejected Holy Mary’s messages from God the Father (for example: Fatima message) and Her call to repent and return to the Father. Thus they reject Holy Mother. Many places where Holy Mary appeared are now open for people of all faiths to conduct their worship services (for example: Fatima). By allowing rituals that God does not approve these churches have insulted Holy Mary.

Now, there is an additional way to distinguish Holy Spirit from other spirits.

1 Jn. 4/2 –  By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

Only who confesses this article of faith has Holy Spirit in them. Those who do not have the Holy Spirit speak worldly matters, and are worldly people (1 Jn. 4/5-6). That means they are of this world and not Jesus Christ’s. Since they are of this world, the world listens to them, loves them. Those who belongs to Jesus Christ, those who have His living Word in them will be hated by the world (Jn. 15/19, 17/14). Today the church authorities act and speak only about this worldly life. Thus they prove that Holy Spirit has left them.

9. Churches now are neither holy, apostolic, nor universal

a. Churches are not holy

Catholics and many other churches proclaim that they belong to a ‘holy’ church. But Newspapers are full of stories about the idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism, and various other abominations and evil acts committed by priests, bishops, nuns and church believers. How many more incidents are yet to come out in the open. Many people who had become victims of their sins have taken refuge in the presence of God at Zion.

1 Jn. 1/7 – But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

But since they offer Holy Eucharist with all sorts of sins and impurities, offer only the evils at the altar of God, do not give glory to God as God, and violate the First Commandment and reject the Word of God, God the Father has declared the Mass they offer as null and void. So there is no Blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse them in the church service.

1 Jn. 2/12 – I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven on account of His Name.

But the churches do not know the Name of the Son of God, nor of God the Father, nor of Holy Spirit, and neither of Holy Mother. Even when church believers are told of the Name of the Son of God, they reject and insult that Name. So their sins are not forgiven and so are not holy.

Is. 5/20 – Ah, you who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Is. 5/24 – Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will become rotten, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Now, churches are very proud in violating the First Commandment (Lk. 10/27) and reject the Word of God by placing themselves above it.

Jer. 7/4 –  Do not trust in these deceptive words: "This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD."

Jn. 15/3 –  You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.

Since they have rejected the Word of God, do not believe in the Word of God, and do not obey it. The living Word of God does not purify them. How can they be holy?

Jer. 7/8-14 –  Here you are, trusting in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,   and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, "We are safe!"-- only to go on doing all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your sight? You know, I too am watching, says the LORD. Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. And now, because you have done all these things, says the LORD, and when I spoke to you persistently, you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer, therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your ancestors, just what I did to Shiloh.

The greatest victory of the church authorities is that they could make people committed to the church, fear the church and obey the church. They should have taught people to fear God, be committed to God and obey God. But people have become so devoid of Divine Wisdom that they cannot discern the Spirit that leads the church (Hos. 4/6).

Churches use Acts 9/5 to make people live and work for churches. But comparing the life and teachings of Jesus with the life and teachings of the churches, we can see that the spirit that works in the present churches is not the Spirit that worked in and through Jesus Christ.

The catholic church boasts that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. But if one examines the church in the light of the Word of God, can he see this? Does evil prevail against the church? Has evil prevailed in church members and in church authorities? To say an emphatic ‘yes’ one does not need any special gift, just common sense will suffice.

If Jesus Christ has prophesied that evil will not prevail against the church, then it will indeed happen. But we can see that evil has prevailed against the church. Two evils that people normally do not consider as evils, but as enlightenment and liberal thinking are violation of the First Commandment and the rejection of the Word of God on ultimate Truth. But these are the most severe evils in the eyes of God (Is. 7/24). The church proudly commits both these evils. Other two evils that people do not normally realize that seeking self glory and do not give glory to God as God (Rom. 1/21) and live, work and believe for only this worldly life (1 Cor. 15/19). The gates of hell did prevail against the church. The greatest wealth and the foundation of the church was the faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Only Saviour. But now the church has categorically rejected this faith.

Thus, since the gates of hell did prevail against all the churches, the church that Jesus Christ mentions in Mt. 16/18 is not the catholic church nor other churches. Otherwise one has to say that the Word of God is wrong and the prophecy of Jesus Christ did not come true. But since the church authorities have been using this very same Bible Verse to cling on to their chair and justify all their blunders, they cannot say that this Word of God is wrong. If this Word of God is true, the present churches are not the churches of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ gave the grace of forgiveness of sins in His First Coming (Eph. 1/7). But Immeasurable Grace – the Grace that enables one not to sin – is given only in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Eph. 2/17, 1 Pet. 1/13). How can the churches that have not received this grace, be called holy?

Now who is the holy of God? It is the Firstborn of God the Father (not man’s) that will be called holy (Lk. 2/23). Those who are the remnants at Zion and Jerusalem are the saints (Is. 4/3-4). (These places are not the geographical places in West Asia, but the names are symbolic). These Children of God are yet to be revealed (1 Jn. 3/1, Rom. 8/19). So those who do not belong to this flock cannot be called holy.

b. The churches have lost their Apostolicity

Though the churches claim that they are apostolic, that apostolicity is not visible in them. Jesus Christ sent His disciples just as He was sent by God the Father (Jn. 20/21). So the Apostles and bishops who are said to be the successors of the Apostles and the priests who are the ‘vicars’ of the bishop are supposed to do the same work that Jesus Christ did. But the present church authorities do not fulfill any of the duties that Jesus Christ entrusted (Mt. 28/18-19). They do not imitate anything that Jesus Christ did in His faith, proclamation of the Kingdom of God or lifestyle (Mt. 11/29). The church authorities do not follow the traditions of the Apostles.

The Apostolic tradition is one which discerned those who are anointed by God from those who are anointed by man and rejected the latter (Act. 23/1-5).

The Apostolic tradition is one that obeyed God rather than man (Act. 5/29).

The Apostolic tradition is one that obeyed and taught to obey all that Jesus Christ taught.

The Apostolic tradition is one that obeyed the First Commandment, taught to obey it and gave up life for that.

The Apostolic tradition is one that professed Jesus Christ as the Only Saviour and preached His Gospel, even at the expense of life.

The Apostolic tradition is one that teaches not to work for this worldly life but to work for the eternal and Heavenly things and that implemented this teaching in one's own life.

How can a church that does not have any of these Apostolic traditions, claim to be Apostolic?

c. Churches have lost unity and universality

The church authorities teach that being all over the world is universality and unity. If so they will have to say that the church Jesus Christ instituted was not catholic church. But true catholicity is the state of Grace when the church has one mind, one faith and communion with God the Father, the Son, Holy Spirit and Holy Mother. Then the church becomes the communion of brethren who are parts of one family of one faith (Gal. 6/10). That is the church that Jesus Christ established. The early church maintained this for a long period. But now that church has been broken up and scattered.

(a) Since the shepherds seek self glory and the glory of others and do not do the duties Jesus Christ has entrusted to them, the sheep they are supposed to safeguard are scattered.

Ez. 34/1-6 – The word of the LORD came to me: Mortal, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to them-- to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord GOD: Ah, you shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep?  You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep. You have not strengthened the weak, you have not healed the sick, you have not bound up the injured, you have not brought back the strayed, you have not sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled them. So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and scattered, they became food for all the wild animals. My sheep were scattered, they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill; my sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with no one to search or seek for them.

(b) Jesus Christ prayed that His disciples must be one and prayed for it (Jn. 12/11). When everybody joins to the thought of God the Father, one mind is achieved. We get the thought of God the Father through the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Word of God and the Spirit of Wisdom. From the apostasy in the church, and the surging evils in it, we can conclude that these spirits are not in the church and so there is no unity. Since God the Father has broken the sticks of Grace and unity (Zec. 11/10-14) the evil spirit of dissention is reigning in the church.

(c) It was Holy Mother, the Mother of Divine Wisdom, who brought together the scattered disciples after the Ascension of Jesus Christ and made them of one mind (Acts 1/14). But the churches who have rejected Divine Wisdom and have embraced worldly knowledge as ultimate truth could not maintain one mind in the believers.

(d) Since the churches have rejected the Light that is the Word of God, they have lost their communion with God.

1 Jn. 1/7 –  But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

The Word of God is the Light (Ps. 119/105). But the churches today reject the Word of God as obsolete, childish, relative and transitory. So they are in darkness and disunity.

Jn. 9/5 –  As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

The church authorities and the church believers insult and reject Emmanuel, the Son of Man who has come with His Body into this world again. Rejecting light, they are lost in darkness.

(e) It is in the Name of God the Father and by the Power of that Name, that the disciples of Jesus Christ must be protected. But the churches do not know the Name of God the Father and so they are not of one mind.

10. Churches practice the worship of saints and their intercession

Ws. 14/20-21 – The multitude, attracted by the charm of his work, now regarded as an object of worship the one whom shortly before they had honored as a human being. And this became a hidden trap for humankind, because people, in bondage to misfortune or to royal authority, bestowed on objects of stone or wood the name that ought not to be shared.

Church believers normally justify that they only pay respect to saints and that they do not worship them. But in truth (de facto), they give more importance, honour and glory to the saints than to God and worship them. Thus the churches violate the First Commandment. The rituals people practice in the feasts of saints, and the practices in many pilgrim centres associated with saints and the devotion people towards these saints show that people worship them. God has not asked anyone to pay homage to saints nor to pray to them. It is idolatry.

People can follow the examples of saints, who gave true glory to God and His Words and putting the Word of God into practice led a holy life. This is the only thing justifiable in the presence of God (Heb.13/7). Anything beyond that is not divine, but human and satanic.

1 Tim. 2/5 – For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human

The Word of God testifies that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between man and God the Father. It is the Spirit of the Son, that intercedes for us (Rom. 8/26-27).

Now, there are many who claim that they got cured or miracles happened when they prayed to a saint. In fact, church believers are running after such miracles and saints. What do the churches do? They exploit the weakness of people and gain self glory, glory for the church, glory for the shrine and of course wealth. They fish in troubled waters! People perish due to lack of Wisdom (Hos. 4/6, Is. 5/13).

The martyrs and saints who led a life of true faith loved God more than anything. They glorified God in their lives. They did not live for this worldly life. Instead, they lived to get the heavenly promises, in the hope of a better resurrection. They did not place their trust in Jesus Christ for this worldly life (1 Cor. 15/19). They were sanctified through sufferings and they considered whatever they have as worthless for the sake of Jesus Christ. Martyrs are those who ran successfully safeguarding the baton of faith. They forsook their lives to safeguard and to confess the very same faith that the present churches now rejects.

But today, all the benefits people ask in the name of saints are needs for this worldly life. It is a strange fact that only certain saints who are known popularly as bestowers of worldly needs (needs of this worldly life) are prayed to. People are very pragmatic in their devotion to saints. When they get their needs fulfilled they glorify these saints. Novenas, advertisements in periodicals and newspapers, thankful remembrances, food offerings, processions carrying the statue of the saint, offering incense, receiving saint’s name, building churches in their names, etc. are all activities that offer glory to saints and NOT to God the Father. Jesus Christ warns that those who get the glory and reward from this world will not get any reward or glory from God (Mt. 6/1-4). Jesus Christ never sought glory from any human being.

Those who got the reward of Paradise after leading a holy life will seek perennial glory from God, rather than ephemeral glory of this world. They do not want to be glorified on earth. So, they won’t give worldly things asked in their name, or such things that will bring glory to themselves. That means they won’t do any miracles in their names. Now, those who have given any such benefits cannot be in Paradise. In fact the one third of the stars in Heaven, who are thrown by satan into earth, are this type of saints. All the so called blessing (benefits for this worldly life) that people claim that they got in the name of saints are in fact not granted by the saints who are in Paradise, but by satan (Wis. 14/20-21). Thus the worship of saints and the intercession sought in their name, facilitated satan to own many men. A very proud achievement by the catholic church.

When Jesus Christ led His public life on this earth, He also performed many miracles – the works of Kingdom of God. But in all such occasions, people glorified God the Father (Lk. 5/26, Lk. 9/43, Lk. 7/16, Mt. 9/8, Mt. 15/31, Mk. 2/12). When He realized that after the multiplication of bread, people were trying to make Him King, He withdrew alone to the mountain (Jn. 6/15). The Apostles also cured sick people and brought the dead into life. But they did all these in the Name of Jesus (Act. 3/6). Those who got cured praised and glorified God the Father (Act. 3/8-9). Those who witnessed the miracles believed in the Lord (Act. 9/40-42). When a lame got cured, people tried to worship and glorify Paul and Barnabas. But the apostles tore their garments and protested and prevented them from doing so. Holy Spirit teaches categorically that it is a futile practice to pay homage to saints (Act. 14/14-15). Will the martyrs and saints try to seek selfglory when they are in Paradise which they did not do when they were on this earth.

In the churches today, marathon novenas are being conducted for Antony, Jude and Holy Mary. People flock to such pilgrimages for getting their diseases cured, to get their daughters married, to get their love affairs fulfilled, to get good jobs abroad, to get promotions, to construct a good house, to get fame, etc. because their faith leads them only up to that level. Thus they proclaim that they are the most unfortunate people of all (1 Cor. 15/19). St. Sebastian was martyred because he obeyed the First Commandment and fully safeguarded his faith in One True God the Father and Jesus Christ the Only Saviour. But church believers commit grave violation of the First Commandment by carrying along the models of arrows that are said to be used to kill Sebastian, (in fact he was beaten to death with cudgels) accompanied with songs that praise other gods or abominable film songs, by eating pan and after consuming alcohol, while smoking and speaking abominations, watching sinful things, making worthless conversation and adoring those arrows. Thus, they insult God the Father (Wis. 14/20-21, Wis. 14/12-14).

In the novena of Sebastian in Malayalam language people praise him as one who was born to make sinful people holy. Who was born to make sinners holy? Sebastian or Jesus Christ, the Son of God? This is another classic example of the blasphemy that the church commits.

Judas is considered the intercessor for ‘Impossible Tasks’. There is only one thing that is impossible for God and that is Evil/Sin. God cannot make his children to commit sin and enslave them to Satan and destroy them (Sir. 15/20; Deu. 32/4). Judas does this act superbly for his devotees.

Worship of angels

Tob. 12/14-17 –  I was sent to you to test you. And at the same time God sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law.  I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of the Lord.  The two of them were shaken; they fell face down, for they were afraid.  But he said to them, Do not be afraid; peace be with you. Bless God forevermore.

Rev. 22/8-9 –  I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me;  but he said to me, You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your comrades the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.

Job. 15/15 – God puts no trust even in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his sight.

Col. 2/18 – Do not let anyone disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions, puffed up without cause by a human way of thinking.

Heb. 1/14 – Are not all angels spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Angles are the servants whom God the Father has created and commissioned to serve the children of God. How stupid are the children who build churches for these servants, offer incense, carry their statues in procession and worship them.

11. Forgiveness of Sin has become a mere farce in the Church.

We believe ... in the forgiveness of sins ... (from the Apostles' creed)

a. The forgiveness of sins has become a mere ritual and an occasion for sin. We have to confess our sins (1 Jn. 1/9) but it must be to a righteous man (Jam. 5/16; Job 42/8-9). A righteous man is one who has true faith and does the works of faith, being filled with the love of God (Gal. 3/11, 5/6) and as a result does not commit sin. But today, the priests to whom sins are confessed are not righteous men. As a result, the confessional becomes a seat of evil and abominations. The one who confesses and the one who hears the confession, join together to commit sins.

b. The Act of Penance.

Jesus Christ forgave the sins of those who were enslaved by Satan and cured them. He exhorted them not to sin again after leading them to the taste of the love of God (Jn. 5/15, Jn. 8/11). To those who confessed their sins with repentance, Jesus Christ never gave any penance. Jesus Christ taught them through the parable of the Prodigal Son that even God the Father does not give penance to the one who returns to him with repentance. The Father does not condemn anyone. He has entrusted that work to the son. But the priests of the church give prayers like ‘Our Father’, ‘Hail Mary’, etc. as a penance to the penitents. Which is easier? Saying five ‘Our Fathers’ or not committing sins anymore? Of Course, fulfilling the penance. Not having experienced the love of God, people fall into sin at the earliest.

The priests do not have the justification in judging another person because by giving penance after confession is like passing judgment on the penitent (Rom. 2/1). Only one flock who will be made immortal (1 Cor. 15/52) and are holy (Lk. 2/23) have the authority to judge (1 Cor. 6/2-3, Lk. 22/29-30). The children of God who are immortal are higher than the angels of God and only they can pass judgment. In the first coming of Jesus Christ, he did not pass judgment on any sinner who repented (Jn. 12/47; Jn. 8/11). In order to save the children of God, all their sins were placed on Jesus Christ, who in fact was sinless. He had to die therefore was made a little lower than angels (Heb. 2/9). That is why Jesus Christ did not pronounce judgment during his first coming. But the church authorities who indeed are under death now pass judgment.

c. The Church teaches that ancestral curse does not exist and that the Gospel need not be preached to the spirits as well as Baptism should not be received for them.

Death entered due to the curse of sin. All human beings die because of Adam’s sin and the curse placed on him. If there was no ancestral curse, all human beings would have become immortal. The life-giving law that man lost would have been in them (Gal. 3/21). Till all reach the Mother of All, the yoke of death will be on man (Sir. 40/1, Bar. 4/1). Therefore, the Good News must be preached to the spirits and they should be made worthy for resurrection. They must be given Baptism for one who is not born of water and spirit will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Jn. 3/5). They must be given the Word of Eternal Life (Jn. 6/57, Jn. 6/63). They must be given a participation in the Body and Blood of God the Father through Holy Communion (Jn. 6/54, 1 Cor. 15/29, Is. 48/12-16).

12. The present Church does not believe in the resurrection of the body.

Though the church believers blabber that they believe in the resurrection, they do not believe in the resurrection of the body. They do not know what is resurrection and for what it is given, and how it is given. The church scholars are of different opinions.

One among the greatest promises and hope God the Father has given to his children is that of bodily resurrection. To live in the Eternal City that God the Father has prepared for his children (Heb. 11/10) a heavenly body is required. All other philosophies that man has developed speak of the destruction of the body, but for the true believers, body is essential (Rom. 8/23). This is the lamentation of the children of God.

God the Father gave the confirmation of resurrection through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. By giving resurrection to some holy men along with Jesus Christ, God the Father testified resurrection (Mt. 27/50-53, 1 Cor. 15/12-23, 1 Cor. 15/42-44, 1 Cor. 15/49, 1 Cor. 15/53-56, 1 Thes. 5/14).

The present body that men have is under the dominion and laws of Satan. This body which has been taken from the soil that is under the dominion of Satan goes back to the soil; however, the bones are preserved and required for resurrection (Ez. 37/1-14). (A catholic scholar remarked on a TV program that Ez. 37/1-14 is not about resurrection, but about the renovation of the Israelite Kingdom after the exile). Then, the personhood of the dead person, which consists of this mind and soul is cleansed in Sheol and in the end, a heavenly body is given to enable him for a heavenly life. This body will have the same qualities of the resurrected body of Jesus Christ. To live in the Eternal City on the New Earth, all must have the participation in the body and Blood of God the Father. None should have anything that belongs to Satan.

But the church today does not believe in the resurrection of the body. Even the present Pope has mentioned in one of his books that the resurrection mentioned in the Holy Scriptures is not in bodily terms. What an apostasy ! So the church-believers have no hope or thought of resurrection. As a result, these churches teach that anything can be done to the body after death. They also teach that dead bodies can be burned or electrocuted. But, when you burn a body, even the bones would also be destroyed. It is because the bones are necessary for resurrection that all the patriarchs and prophets were buried in specific places. This is due to the same hope that patriarch Joseph asked his brothers to take his bones along when they move out from Egypt (Gen. 50/25). But, by teaching that bodies can be burned, the church authorities confess that they do not have nor want a resurrection.

13. The Churches give a perverted view about Eternal Life.

A common church believer has a perverted view about Eternal Life. Since they do not know how and what was the actual and real state of the children of God when He created them, and what is the desire/dream of God the Father about His Children, they simply blabber about Eternal Life. The Church authorities, who say that heaven is a state of the soul, have a perverted and pessimistic view about Eternal Life. Since they truly do not believe in God the Father and His word, they do not know or believe in his promises. Two of the most important promises that God the Father has made is in the Participation in the Tree of Life and the Heavenly City (Rev. 22/19). But the church believers and scholars consider it as not worthy for their serious reflections and so do not prepare to receive them. Those who are supposed to teach people about these promises and prepare them have now rejected them merely as some fancies or wishful thinking by some Jewish religious men and are engaged in a futile attempt to build up a Babel culture and a New World Order in this world.

Jesus Christ defines what is Eternal Life (Jn. 17/3)

Only God the Father knows the Son entirely (Lk. 10/22). Only those who are taught by God the Father know the Son-Emmanuel. A flock will be taught by God the Father during the last days (Jn. 6/45). But the present churches are not taught by God the Father. The greatest proof of this fact is the lack of faith and love in the church believers that Jesus Christ has come again into this world with his body. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, and only those to whom He wishes to reveal the Father, know God the Father (Lk. 10/22). Since the Spirit of the Son has been given to Zion, Zion knows the mind of Emmanuel (1 Cor. 2/16), Zion knows God the Father.

The first step of knowing a person is to know his name. When Moses asked God to reveal his name, he simply answered ‘I Am’. God the Father did not reveal his name. The Israelites addressed God in different titles but if the name of God the Father was given to the people, God the Father would not have promised that in ‘those days’ (i.e. the Last Days) people would know His name (Is. 52/6). Jesus Christ also says that he will reveal the name of God the Father to His brethren (Heb. 2/12, Jn. 17/26). Zion has been given not only the most holy name of God the Father, but also the name of the Son for all times, the name of the Holy Spirit and the name of the Holy Mother through the Word of God. Then Emmanuel has testified that the Zion flock are His brethren. The place or the people where the name of God the Father is revealed is the place where he dwells (Is. 52/6). It is there that God’s house will be established. Only those who call and pray the name of God will be saved (Rom. 10/13; Joe. 2/32). God the Father protects during the times of torments only those who know His name (Ps. 91/14). But though the church believers pray ‘Our Father; who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name ... they do not know the name of God the Father. Though Baptism is administered in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the church believers do not know the name of God the Father.

When a Teacher of Law asked Jesus Christ what he should do to inherit Eternal Life, he was told to obey the First Commandment (Lk. 10/27) completely. But the church believers violate this law. The priests or preachers do not even teach it with due seriousness and fervour. Instead, they teach to violate it and consider this violation as enlightenment. The hearts of all the church believers are filled with idols, the love of this world and worldly objects (1 Jn. 2/15-17) and the things that are praiseworthy for the world are wretched for God (Lk. 16/15). Since they are of this world, they say things of this world and gain the attention of the world (1 Jn. 4/5-6). Since the church authorities have rejected Jesus Christ; the fountain of life-giving Water, and have dug up empty wells-false words, worldly knowledge and teachings of other philosophies, they are unable to believe in Eternal Life.

II. The lack of belief in the word of God in Churches.

The second aspect of faith is the conviction that the unseen Word came forth from God the Father and that all that are seen came forth from the unseen Word of God (Col. 1/15-17, 2 Pet. 3/5-7), and that when these Words of God are withdrawn, all these created things would perish (Heb. 11/1-3). It is the Word of God that is unseen. But for the church scholars and church believers, who have rejected the Word of God as their intellect is filled with the darkness of this world, the light of the Good News of the Kingdom of God is not visible to them. The church scholars teach human words and tradition. They have rejected the Divine Wisdom and so the Word of God is foolishness (1 Cor. 1/18-21). So they teach and hold high all the thoughts and philosophies of this world. They teach human laws and traditions instead of teaching the Divine Law and the Word of God (Mk. 7/6-9, Is. 29/13-14).

The Church interprets and distorts the Word of God.

The written Word of God is not to be interpreted or adulterated or compromised (2 Pet. 1/20-21). But, the church scholars now misinterpret the Word of God. They interpret the word of God on the basis of man-made sciences, philosophy, logic anthropology, sociology, history, biology, literacy criticism, various religio-cultural philosophies, etc. In order to conform to the world of human beings who are like grass (1 Pet. 1/24), but disbelieve and reject words, that is the Spirit and Life (Jn. 6/63) and that came from God the Father in whom there is no change or any shadow of change (Jam. 1/17). Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and Holy Mother obey the written Word of God. Satan is also under the Word of God. Even God the Father acts according to the written Word of God that came from His mouth. But, the present churches defy the Word of God and place themselves above the word (Is. 34/16).

The Word of God is of God the Father. What Jesus Christ speaks (Jn. 7/16), Holy Sprit speaks (1 Cor. 2/11-13) what Holy Mother speaks (Lk. 1/38) the Word that came forth from the mouth of God the Father. God the Father is known through the Son, Jesus Christ. The Son is known through the Word of God. But to comprehend the Word of God, the listener’s mind must be opened by God. Only if one has the Holy Spirit and Divine Wisdom, the Word of God will be opened up. The ‘true meaning’ of a Word is what God the Father means by that Word or does through that Word. God the Father Himself will have to reveal this. For that one must call God the Father as ‘My Father’ (Jer. 3/19), pray to Him (Jer. 33/3) and listen to the Word of God with humility, repentance and trembling at heart (Is. 66/2). Since the church scholars are not able to comprehend the true meaning, the devil has removed the Word of God from their hearts. The Word they thought they understood, are distorted by them.

Since the churches have accepted the theory of Evolution by Darwin, they confess that man evolved from monkeys. God the father created man in His own image and likeness (Gen. 1/26), and God can’t be a monkey !  God the Father’s work of hand is man, the work of Wisdom in giving form to human beings, and the soul given by God are all fairy tales for the ‘enlightened’ church scholars. The day when they dispense with the Creator is not far! By turning upside down the Word of God that though the heaven and earth will pass away, Word of God will not (Lk. 21/33), the churches teach that the Word of God has passed away but the heaven and the earth will not pass away. The Word of God says that the earth will be burnt to destruction (2 Pet. 3/10), but the churches teach that the world will not be destroyed.

What makes a person wise in order to be saved through Emmanuel is the Sacred Scripture. They are mainly the prophetic writings from Moses onwards (2 Tim. 3/15-17). Jesus Christ teaches that the scholars make a mistake since they do not know the Sacred Scriptures or the Power of God the Father (Mt. 22/29). But for many scholars in the present churches the Sacred Scriptures is mere dramas, fables, poems, symbolic descriptions and meant only for those Jews who lived in ancient times and thus insult Divine plans. The disciples of Jesus Christ could comprehend the Divine Plan and significance in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ only after He explained all there in the light of the Prophetic writings (Lk. 24/25-26).

Whatever is in the Prophetic writings is not only about them, but also about us. These Words have not passed away.

Rom. 4/23-24  –  Now the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone,  but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead

Many prophecies are sealed to be hidden only to be revealed in the Last Days.

Dan. 12/8-9 – I heard but could not understand; so I said, My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things? He said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are to remain secret and sealed until the time of the end.

How can churches say that the Prophetic writings have passed away? These so-called scholars who have hardened their hearts even after listening to the Voice of the Son of God are condemned from the beginning for punishment (Jud. 1/4). They have stubbornly turned a deaf ear to the warning given by the Holy Spirit (Heb. 3/16). To them the mysteries of the Kingdom of God are not given (Mk. 4/10-12). They who have refused to return to God the Father, are made blind by God Himself (Is. 6/9-12).

III. Churches believe and pray only for this worldly life

The link that keeps God the Father and His Children connected is faith. It is through faith that God the Father justifies (make worthy) one to receive His promises (Rom. 3/21-22). All the patriarchs were made worthy to be recognized for receiving the promise through their faith (Heb. 11/39). But all the promises one receives through this true faith does not belong to this world. Rather, these promises lead a true believer to the eternal life with God the Father in the Heavenly City in the New Earth, knowing Him as He is, having become like Him, participating in His glory and dominion and loving Him completely. This is the life that God the Father and His Children lead together, in His thought.

But the members of the present churches who claim to be believers keep expectations and live only for this worldly life. They do not have any hope for a world beyond the world around them. In fact, believing in a world yet to come is seen as foolishness and lack of enlightenment by the mainstream social thinkers. Then the church believers have become the most unfortunate of all peoples in the world (1 Cor. 15/19). David prays that he may be saved from those who consider this world as their only portion (Ps. 17/14). Jesus Christ calls ‘idiot’ the one who longs for only this worldly life, that is ephemeral like a bubble in water (Sir. 19/10) and reveals his foolishness (Lk. 12/20-21). Since all their treasures are in this world, their heart is also in this world (Mt. 6/21). So they believe for this life only. This faith is a pseudo-faith and it is futile. It is about such people Jesus Christ tells the parable of the Wedding Feast (Lk. 14/16-24). Though God the Father calls back the church believers, as the time of the Feast is imminent, the invited church believers have gone off to fields, markets, to test the oxen and to enjoy their life. None of them will enjoy the Feast of Jesus Christ (Lk. 14/24, Is. 25/6-8).

Churches have lost their most valuable treasure - Faith

Jesus Christ instituted a church on the faith of Peter, a faith that God the Father granted him and that he confessed (Mt. 16/16-18). The greatest gift of the church was the true faith. Jesus Christ established the church after separating a flock from the synagogues of the law out to the obedience to faith. The Apostles, happily bearing humiliations for the sake of Jesus Christ, went out to Him from the tent, that was the Judaic Congregation or church (Heb. 13/12-13). It was this faith that the churches should have handed over to the coming generations and safeguarded till the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The baton that all the Apostles, including Paul, had safeguarded was faith (2 Tim. 4/7-8). But the churches have not only ran in tracks other than the track they are to run. The Word of God – The Way (Jn. 14/5-6) – but also lost the faith. It is certain that they will not receive the reward – The Crown of Life.

One gets the love of God through faith. In fact seeking the glory of God means safeguarding this faith – this relationship. When this faith is lost, he becomes unable to seek the glory of God the Father. When one’s faith is wounded or weakened, then he falls into sin because it is faith that protects him (1 Pet. 1/5).

A true believer cannot commit sin. Human beings commit sin because they have lost true faith. One who knows through faith that he has come forth from the Unseen Word of the Seen Father, the glory and wisdom seen in the creation sing out the goodness of God the Father, cannot sin against the source of all goodness and his loving Father. The patriarchs like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, etc. were not given law. But their faith kept them safe from committing sin. Instead, they had a righteous mind that made them weep at the realization that the evils that permeate around them hurt God the Father, who is the source of all goodness (2 Pet. 2/8).

If the churches had true faith, sin and evil would have gone away from them. The gates of hell would not have prevailed against them. Because against Divine Wisdom, the gates of hell will not prevail (Wis. 7/30). It was Divine Wisdom that led all the righteous patriarchs. Chapters 10, 11, 12 in the Book of Wisdom testifies this (Wis. 10/1, 10/6, 10/13). Then, since evil has won against churches, we can be sure that they have lost faith and wisdom. The apostasy by the churches is a great proof that Emmanuel, the Righteous Judge has come at the threshold (2 Thes. 2/2-3). So in order for the believers to attain the promises of God the Father and to be accepted as sons and daughters by Him, they have to leave the unbelievers and come to God the Father.

2 Cor. 6/14-18 –  Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship is there between light and darkness? What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

From all these, we realize that the so called faith of most christian churches and church believers is an empty mouth exercise and that the drama they enact in the guise of faith is merely used to maintain and justify before men their glory and power in this ephemeral kingdom of the world.
