TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
Romans 11:33-36 says,
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
“For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”
“Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things.To him be glory forever. Amen.
Do you know what is wrong with theology?
It thinks that it can reveal some truth about “GOD” apart from the FATHER revealing Himself. It thinks that it can explain “GOD” and His HOLY Way through interpretations of Holy Scriptures. Theology thinks that its intellect and cognitive abilities can explain the inexplicable.
Theology teaches that we can learn about “GOD” through academics. And some of its teachings and interpretations imply that we can manipulate God to do our bidding and make us rich by “planting” or “sowing” money into various ministries and churches.
Theology sometimes thinks and teaches that if we do a particular thing in accordance with our church’s interpretation of Holy Scripture, then God must do what we ask of Him to do.
I can image the angels in Heaven laughing over the absolute insanity of this theology and saying: “Is That So?! If it were that easy Satan would have taken over Heaven a long time ago.”
Do You Know What Is Wrong With Theology?
It Is The Absence of THE HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST – The True Revealer of “GOD” and the Genuine Teacher of The Mysteries of GOD’S HOLY WORD.
These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. (1 John 2:26-27)
Many professed Christians claim to have the Holy Spirit but do not depend upon Him to teach them anything about God. And yet there are others who do not have THE HOLY SPIRIT but are teaching and leading lost sheep and professed Christians into the darkness of demonic doctrines and into the wilderness of counterfeit faith.
The Holy Spirit Only Teaches One Doctrine of Salvation. The Holy Spirit Only Teaches One Gospel – The Gospel Of the Kingdom Of God. And there is only One True HOLY SPIRIT that empowers the truly repentful to speak in tongues of angels and confirms our salvation and adoption into the family of GOD.
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)

Jonah 4:10-11
Then the LORD said, “You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight. Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand…”
In the fourth chapter of the book of Jonah, Jonah becomes angry with God unto death over the death of a shade tree yet showed no love, concern or mercy for the lost souls of a nation and a people.
Some folks are just like Jonah!
Some people tend to be more concerned over things that do not have a soul than they are about showing mercy toward those who are in spiritual darkness and headed for total destruction.
Some people tend to be angry and passionately distraught over the loss of things but have no remorse over the loss of a soul or a life.
Some folks shed more tears over a piece of bread that feel to the ground than they do over a living soul that died lost in sin and was buried in the ground.
Some Christians are just concerned with their own soul’s well-being, comfort and salvation and do not have a heart for the salvation of anyone else.
There are some people who will show mercy and have pity on a plant but will not have any compassion for a perishing human being.
But thank God for His mercy toward us all for we were all at one time lost in spiritual darkness and headed for condemnation and Hell.
I thank God that He didn’t give up on me like we give up on each other.
I thank God that He sent His Word of Salvation to us that we may be drawn out of darkness into His marvelous Light.
I thank God for the Light of Christ that Shines Brightly in our lives.
And I Thank God for the Urgency of His Priority to Save Me.
It is with that same urgency that I say unto you…
REPENT!!!

All Glory, Praise and Honor Belongs To God
“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3)
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. (Psalm 133:1-2)
It is a divine and GOD pleasing thing when the children of God agree together to obey without question what GOD HAS COMMANDED of them in His Word and what God has said to them by His Spirit and What God has demonstrated and taught to them through Christ and His Apostles.
It is God’s command that HIS Born Again Children dwell as ONE and be united in thought, doctrine and Spirit. (Romans 12:4-5 and 2 John 1:9-11)
God is not the author of confusion and there should be no confusion or division in His family among His children.
That is why the Lord said through the Apostle Paul “Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
In the first century, “believers” in the Gospel of the Kingdom of God gladly received the message of salvation and lessons of righteousness taught by the Apostles of Christ. (Acts 2:41)
After Pentecost, every believer who gladly received the Good News of The KINGDOM of GOD did not argue philosophically or theologically over the Command of God to Repent and be Washed in the Blood of The Lamb by burial into water in the name of the Holy Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. They all trusted, submitted to and obeyed the Commandments of God through Christ and His Apostle without question. They had REAL FAITH and they were added to the ONE TRUE CHURCH of CHRIST on the same day as their Baptism. (Acts 2:41)
The early followers and disciples of Christ understood faith, the gift of the Spirit, and water baptism in Jesus’ name as One continuous Salvation Experience. If any one of these components was absent then salvation was also absent. (1 John 5:8)
The Word of God indicated that we are required to have three witnesses on earth whose testimonies agree upon our Salvation. “And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:8)
This is not difficult for any TRUE believer in Christ to follow and adhere to. But Satan has made it a point of division among a significant number of believers.
But even in the first century Satan was busy casting dissention and doubt among believers and trying to cause divisions and schisms.
If you remember, there was divisions among Jewish Christians and gentile Christians regarding foods offered to idols and circumcision. These divisions were essentially resolved by the council of Apostles in Jerusalem. Nevertheless, the devil still is busy trying to destroy, dismantle and nullify the Body of Christ through divisions, philosophical and theological arguments and corruption and various interpretations of doctrines.
Due to Satan’s handiwork and mankind’s own arrogance, the world has over 242 “Roman Catholic” denominations and over 33,000 “Protestant” denominations as well as 781 “Orthodox” denominations to its credit. The Devil’s divisive work is evident in the schisms that exist between Christian denominations and churches today.
Hardly ever do we see TRUE Born Again believers assembling together as One Body in Christ under One Doctrine in Christ with One Voice in Christ led by The One TRUE Spirit of Christ. Most Christians, whether they are aware of it or not, are married to some institutional church or religious body whereby they exercise their “faith” and receive validation of their “salvation.” But the true worshipper who worships God in Spirit and in Truth isn’t concerned with such proclivities or propensities. We are not bound by some denominational allegiance or covenant or some church’s definition of our salvation. We simply believe God’s Word and follow His Commandments without question. We have FAITH.
However, Satan is still seeking for believers who are straddling the fence and who are cynical about God’s Commandments – those who are weak in their commitment to the Kingdom Of God and Its righteousness. Satan wants to negotiate with and theologize with and discuss philosophies with them so that they may be convinced of another gospel other than the TRUE Saving Gospel of God in Christ. Thus we have the prosperity gospels, the wisdom gospels, the seed faith gospels and the by faith gospels which aren’t gospels at all but rebellious, wicked and demonic doctrines. (1 Timothy 4:1)
Satan knows that He cannot prevail against the One TRUE CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST (Matthew 16:18). So Satan’s desire and goal is to divide, conquer and destroy God’s Children by corrupting the TRUTH of God’s HOLY SCRIPTURES and COMMANDMENTS and persuading some to follow his iniquitous and rebellious ways – to believe the lie over the Truth.
Many believers make Satan’s job easy by assuming that they are intelligent enough to determine what the Kingdom of God is without first being transformed into citizens of Heaven and empowered with the divine teacher – The Holy Spirit. Thus they are blind guides without divine revelation who will never learn THE TRUE WAY of Salvation unless they first REPENT and humble themselves under God.
It is Good for All God’s Children to Dwell in Unity. However, in this world, it appears very unlikely that the Oneness of Christ Church will be realized to any appreciable and observable degree.
However, through the advent of the internet, I have met some REAL Christians and I do believe that the TRUE CHURCH of Jesus CHRIST exist and is made up of those of us who are ONE in Spirit and Truth. We may be divided by time, distance, language, culture and geography, but we are not divided by “Divine Doctrine,” “Saving TRUTH,” the “Teachings of Christ and His Apostles,” the “Righteousness of the Kingdom of God” and the “POWER of THE HOLY GHOST.”
On These Essential and Eternal Truths We Are ONE and Unchanging. And We Stand Boldly In Agreement With The WORD of GOD And With Each Other. And We Live In Faithful Unity With Our Brothers and Sister In Christ Who Have Not Deviated From The Path Of Righteousness or The Teachings of Christ and His Apostles Nor Bowed Their Knee To The god Of This World And Her churches.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:4-6)
We Believe In The One TRUE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
We Believe In The One TRUE FAITH THAT JESUS Is The SON Of GOD.
We believe In The One TRUE WAY of Baptism Is By Burial Into Water In The Name of The Holy Messiah.
We Believe In Keeping All of God’s Eternal Commandments And In Sexual Purity.
We Believe In The One True Holy Spirit That Is In Us All And Over All And Knows All.
We Believe In The One True God and Father of All.
We Believe As ONE!

“Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it.” (Psalm 127:1)
Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; what is the house which you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things are mine, says the LORD. But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” (Isaiah 66:1)
I have heard too many preachers declare that their church was “Holy Ghost Headquarters.” This may sound good to the listener but it may also be blasphemy. To say such a thing of God’s Spirit doesn’t give due reverence to the awesome Glory of His Power. And, regardless of what you may think, it reveals that the person speaking such disrespect doesn’t have any revelation or personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of the LORD is not a thing that can be housed or headquartered in anything man-made like a church or worship facility.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2)
The Spirit of God was in the beginning with God. Job 26:13 says that “By His Spirit He has garnished the heavens.” And Isaiah 40:13 asks the question, “Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord, or what man shows him his counsel?”
No religious institution of man-made structure or “church” may presume to contain the Spirit of God for The Holy Spirit is unsearchable, omnipresent and alive and usurps all earthly power and might. (Zechariah 4:6)
Jesus in John 3:3-7 and 1 Peter 1:12 indicates that the Holy Spirit doesn’t reside on earth but is from Heaven.
According to the Holy Scriptures, God will make His Spirit to dwell in those of us who have heard and believed the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, repented and died to sin and are buried by baptism in water into His name. (John 3:3-7 and Acts 2:38)
1 Corinthians 3:16 tells us that we are the temple of God because His Spirit dwells in us.
1 Corinthians 6:19 tells us that our “bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in us, whom we have received from God because we belong to God.”
It is the Holy Spirit that speaks out of us in tongues affirming our acceptance and adoption as children of God. (Romans 8:16 and Acts 15:8)
It is the Holy Spirit that make intercession for us and on our behalf in accordance with God’s will. (Romans 8:26-27)
It is the Holy Spirit – when it speaks out of us in tongues – that identifies us as the Body of Christ and the ONE TRUE CHURCH.
Let us be clear once and for all. No man-made edifice (building) called a church is actually The CHURCH OF CHRIST. The best that mankind can do is construct a building, facility or institution for The CHURCH OF CHRIST to assemble or meet in.
Sometime ago, there was a woman who expressed to me that she was born a Baptist and that she would stay a Baptist until the day that she died. She said that she was never leaving the Baptist church. This attitude of loyalty and devotion to a Christian institution and/or denomination has caused many well-intentioned Christians to commit idolatry against the Kingdom of God. Many worship and prefer their religion and their “churches” over God’s ONE TRUE CHURCH. (Romans 12:5)
Many believers have been indoctrinated to think of their local Christian religious institutions and places of worship as the church. But The One True CHURCH is Spirit and Truth and dwells in the hearts, souls and physical bodies of those who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb of God by Baptism into His name and indwelt with The Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38-42) Although there are many institutions and Christian worship facilities that may be called “church,” they cannot be THE CHURCH of CHRIST. Only a living soul can become The CHURCH of Christ.
Therefore, next time someone asks you where your church is, tell them it is wherever you are for The Church is not brick, mortar, clay, stone, metal or any earthly material, but Spirit and Truth in the Holy Ghost . Amen.
