TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
Contemporary Chistianity
Ephesians 6:12
Because your fight has not been with flesh and blood, but with Principalities and The Rulers and The Powers of this dark world and with wicked spirits which are under Heaven.
There are always wicked spirits governed by the prince of the air and the god of this dark world working against the Saints of God. And the most clandestine and insidious way of working against the Saints is to take control of and corrupt their understanding of God, God’s Eternal Commandments, The Way To Salvation and to Create a Book (Bible) filled with mistranslations and omissions so as to further confuse their Faith and Worship — creating divisions (denominations) and factions.
1 Corinthians 1:10
But I request of you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Yeshua The Messiah, that all of you would have one speech, and that there would be no divisions among you, that you would be perfected in one mind and in one conscience.1 Corinthians 14:33
Because God is not chaotic, but peaceful, as in all the assemblies of The Holy Ones.
In this information rich age, it is well researched and documented that the enemy has infiltrated the body of believers and brought in doctrines of demons and teach for doctrine the traditions of men and the religions of false pagan gods as well as embrace vile immoralities and idolatrous practices.
1 Timothy 4:1
But The Spirit speaks plainly that in the last time they shall depart one by one from the faith and they shall go after deceiving spirits and after the teachings of demons,Jude 4, 7-8
“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ … Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities”
We can easily see the spirit of Sodom and Gomorrah (moral perversion) evident throughout the Catholic and Protestant Faiths today. Catholic priests as well as Protestant Preachers are given over to fornication and homosexuality. The mainline Christian denominations are rushing to accept same-sex marriages and homosexuality as a legitimate Christian lifestyle and many have ordained openly gay couples and individuals as pastors. The Catholic Church in America has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and settlements because of lawsuits won against homosexual and pedophile priests.
The way that the original Saints entered the Ekklesia of Christ and worshiped Father Yahweh has been altered. The perpetual covenant sign and fourth Commandment of the Seventh-Day Sabbath has been changed by men to Sun-god day – the first day of the week – and is now called the “Christian Sabbath.” God’s ordained and assigned gender roles for His Ekklesia has been homosexually violated and perverted whereas men are playing women roles and women are sitting in the place of men as pastors. God’s command to repent and be baptized in the name of Christ Yehowshua has been changed to a sinners prayer or a splash of water on the head or an incantation of the titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost. And speaking in tongues is considered something antiquated or explained away as being a supernatural phenomena of multiple human languages and not the tongue of angels or a sign of the reception of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Daniel 7:25
He will speak words against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High. He will intend to change religious festivals and laws, and the holy ones will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time.Revelation 13:5-9
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
We are living in the end times. You can’t trust the so-called “Church” to tell the TRUTH because it doesn’t know the TRUTH anymore. It has had centuries of false teachings and pagan indoctrination and scriptural mistranslations and moral corruption where it no longer represents Christ but its own interests. The “Christian Church” at large has assumed divine prerogative and is now standing in the place of God using the name of God without God’s authorization.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new. And they will turn their ears from the truth and turn aside unto fables.2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
My friends, please be aware that although you may belong to a “church” and attend a “church” and serve in a church and give to a church and you may even believe in God’s Commandments, but until you obey God’s Commandments, you are none of His.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. On that Day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we expel demons in your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in your name?’ Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
It is sad but true. A lot of so-called Christian churches are no more than warehouses for damned and deceived souls. Satan has fooled all of us. And a lot of us feel that things aren’t as they should be. A lot of us know that our churches and our Pastors aren’t teaching the TRUE doctrine of CHRIST and His Apostles. (2 John 1:9-11) We sense that true holiness and divine revelation is missing from our assemblies. But yet we continue to attend and support the lie to our own shame and damnation. Why?
Are we so addicted and drunk on being entertained by motivational speakers disguised as preachers that we will sell our souls to hell for a feel-good message and an inspirational praise and worship experience.
Are we so vain and greedy that we will prostitute our souls for money, human success and accolades and ecclesiastical glory?
Are we so lazy and dumb as to trust our soul’s eternal destination to the hands, philosophies, theologies and traditions of other humans?
Have we forgotten that Salvation is a personal matter where we are responsible for our decisions and charged with working out your salvation with fear and trembling? (Philippians 2:12)
I pray that this article raises our awareness of the subtle as well as the brazen deceptions of Satan and our personal responsibility to expose his wickedness and resist him and return to God and the authentic Faith of Christ and His Apostles.
I pray that we REPENT before it is too late. I pray that we find the narrow WAY of Righteousness and Salvation. I pray that we become ever more weary and cautious of the ways of popularity and acceptance, tolerance and moral compromise.
In the name of Yehowshua Ha’ Mashiach, I pray that we REPENT!!!

(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED OCTOBER 16, 2010)
Hellfire Preaching has been replaced by feel-good prosperity sermons.
Confession and repentance have been replaced by entertainment and crowd applause.
Conviction of sin against God’s Holy Commandments has been replaced by political correctness and tolerance.
Emotional demonstration has replaced the Holy Ghost manifestation.
The God called, anointed and sent Man of God has been replaced with the academically accomplished, denominationally approved hired motivational speaker.
The feminine movement has usurped God’s divine order of gender roles in His Church. The masculine pastor has been replaced with a feminine counterfeit.
Holiness and purity has been replaced with lewdness and immorality.
Virginity is not as highly prized in the church as is fornication and “Single Parenting.” Churches are hosting baby showers for unwed mothers and promoting sexual lewdness through moral apathy and their embrace of sexual immoralities.
Sexual morality and spiritual integrity are no longer a prerequisite for pastors but academic achievement and denominational loyalty are prided above all.
The Holy Spirit no longer leads the worship or directs the message of the ministry but church tradition and theology governs the worship experience.
Although no Apostle of Christ has ever heard of “praise dancing” or “miming” as a part of the worship experience, these aberrations have entered the Church and are celebrated.
While the hypocritical dogmas of religion point out the outward subjective taboos and ills of smoking, drinking and drugs – which have no precedence in the Ministry of Christ – they neglect to point out the soul threatening and damning sins of cowardice, greed, homosexuality, lesbianism, fornication, material extravagance, whoredom and prosperity gospel preaching.
The focus of many Christian ministries and churches have moved from conviction, confession, repentance and salvation to wealth building, prosperity preaching, social agendas and competitive membership growth.
The attitude of the Church has changed from that of being enthusiastically grateful and loving toward God because He is God to that of being manipulative toward God because they want material wealth from God.
The Contemporary Christian Church as a whole has moved from looking toward Heaven to looking for Heaven on earth.
Instinctively and historically and from time immemorial, sinners and saints alike knew that the divine office of pastor/elder/bishop is masculine in nature and in origin but now it is redefined as being gender neutral.
Fear, shame, sorrow and embarrassment were normal for a young woman who was discovered to have been having sex without the benefit of marriage and had a baby without a husband. But now shame has been replaced with irreverence, brazenness and bold-faced defiance.
The Church Of Christ that was founded by the True Apostles of Christ had a clear understanding of what was holy and acceptable to God. They knew that they were to separate themselves from the world’s value system, behaviors, foul language, sexual immoralities and way of thinking. But now so-called Christian churches are welcoming the world’s views into their ministries.
Children were always a part of the worship experience and were trained, encouraged and nurtured by parents to believe and trust in God and His Son our Lord Jesus Christ. But now parents are spiritually deficient, twisted, wicked and lost. Unconverted parents cannot lead where they do not go and they cannot teach what they do not know.
The Church at one time knew that a real conversion experience – a born again experience (Born of the water and of the Spirit with evidence of the gift of the Holy Ghost by the speaking in tongues) – had to take place before a person could serve in the body of Christ. But now all one has to do is recite a witchcraft incantation called the “Sinner’s Prayer” and they are magically transformed into a so-called Christian.
The Christian Church knew that in order to be saved one must repent (die to sin), be washed in the blood of Christ by being baptized by immersion into water in the name of Jesus Christ and be gifted with the Holy Spirit of God, as taught in the Bible and demonstrated by Christ and His Apostles. But now they say that you can have salvation any old way and they are putting church clothes on sin and parading it around as holy.
Christian Churches used to be a place of serious, effective, heartfelt prayers – a place for learning about how God loved us so mush as to die for our sins and give us a right to eternal life. It was a place of genuine ministry where we learned of God‘s forgiving love and we were challenged to live a holy, clean, respectable, morally straight and honorable life; where the saints gathered to worship in Spirit and in Truth. But now it is a well orchestrated theater where entertainers, motivational speakers, actors and artists, musicians, playwrights and choreographers come to perform their crafts – where book deals or promoted and salvation is commercialized.
At one time the name of God and of Christ were revered but now The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been irreverently referred to as “J.C.” or someone’s “elder brother” and “God” has become a term to be used with obscenities and profanities and is treated as common thing.
Homosexuality, lesbianism and oral and anal sexual perversions of all kinds have been welcomed into the Church without repentance or conversion and that which was holy has been defiled and is no longer of God’s design and purpose.
The Church used to have a clear vision about what was godly but now they are blinded by their own greed and need for popularity, fame, social acceptance, political power and wealth.
For many, the Church has become a whore that welcomes other whores. It is for sale to the highest bidder. It caters to clientele with the most money so as to maximize its own wealth and popularity.
The intimate relationship between pastor and parishioner is no longer seen due to the advent of the “Mega-church.”
Church folk used to look for a real man of God to lead them but now they want a figurehead to represent their interests, their causes and their beliefs. They do not really want to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. They want to hear the voice of their denominations or religious groups, their causes and their personal agendas. They don’t want to hear God‘s Eternal Word.
At one time, folks understood that only God can save – only God had a Heaven and Hell to place us in. But now people behave as if their churches are the gatekeepers to Heaven or Hell and we must go through them to receive eternal life.
At one time it was important for Christians to represent God and holiness in the way that they dressed. But now it seems that Christians have chosen to represent the arrogant, pretentious and lewd apparel of the world.
Holy Spirit filled women in the Ekklesia of Christ used to obey God and dress modestly in order to please God and keep down confusion and distraction in the body of believers. But now it seems that the women in the church are dressing as clown-like and seductive, naked, lewd and provocative as possible.
Well, I have got some good news for some and some not so good news for others.
The world may accept, embrace, promote and applaud the changes in sexual morality, gender roles and what religion calls worship, but God has not.
The world may sanction many forms of religious practices, methods of soul salvation and pseudo-moral dogmas, but God has not.
Some so-called Christians may have bought into the false notion that church membership makes them right with God and their faith is just as good as anyone else’s, but God has not.
The religious community at large may have accepted, tolerated and sanctioned women as pastors and leaders of men in their churches, but God has not in HIS Ekklesia.
Institutions of religious education, preparation and ordination may confer upon the unconverted and practicing sinner a license to preach and teach in their churches, but God has not in His Body of Spirit and Truth.
Man-made religious institutions may guarantee salvation through the recital of a “sinner’s Prayer,” but God does not.
Lesbians and Gays may call their sexually deviant and perverted behavior a normal sexual orientation or a right of their freedom of choice, but God does not.
The world and its religions may label the Authentic Saints of God as being sanctimonious, fanatical, judgemental and intolerant because we dare to stand against sin and against the perversion of God’s order, But God Does Not.
Some churches and church folks will seek to impress you with large worship facilities, symbols of prosperity and images of success, but GOD Will Not.
Many are impressed with the multitudes of deceived believers that seem to be drawn to mega-churches and celebrity personalities, but GOD IS NOT.
Professional entertainers, singers and actors as well as profane and immoral individuals are being accepted by many church folk as qualified spokespersons for Christ based solely on material wealth, celebrity and popularity, talent and financial success, but God Does NOT!
Many believe that a Ministerial License, scholarly degrees, ecclesiastical titles and accolades qualifies one to speak on God’s behalf, but God Does Not.
God rejects the changes of the world’s churches and contemporary Christianity and doesn’t acknowledge their ways.
Things may have changed but God has Not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And His Eternal Commandments, His New Testament Plan of Salvation and His Eternal Standards of Holiness Have Not Changed.
God says out of His Mouth…
“Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.” – 1 Peter 1:16
“I am the LORD, I Change Not” – Malachi 3:6
Repent and return to authentic salvation. Repent and Rediscover Authentic Salvation.
Again I say REPENT!
