The real book on Christianity

Response to comment [from other]: "...[T]he number of people who leave is insignificant."

It's significant (2 Thess 2:3).

What is Unitarian Universalism?

As a reminder is Mickiel number 47 on Satan, Inc. (TOL Heretics list) in "The 'Jesus is not God' people (Non-trinitarians) category.

"Catholics are different from many other forms of Christianity, but they are still Christian."

The Roman Catholic Church is the Great Whore (Re 17:5). Her daughter harlots are returning home to her (Re 17:2, 18:4).

[Catholics] "...[T]he only other people around at that time , were Romans, Pagans..."

They are still Romans (Dan 9:26). They're still enemies of God (Ezek. 35:5–7).

"...[T]his great church..."

They will be judged soon (Dan 11:21-23).

"It's the old saying and desire of humans; prophesy only good things to me!"

You're projecting again (Eph 4:14). Satan and his followers are the cowards (Jas 4:7).

Promises for Christians the overcomers: eating of the tree of life (Rev. 2:7), exemption from the second death (Rev. 2:11), power over the nations (Rev. 2:26), clothed in white garments (Rev. 3:5), made a pillar in God’s Temple (Rev. 3:12), rulership with Christ (Rev. 3:21)."

Coward of the County ~ Kinny

"With Constantine, Rome now has the power..."

Does that much matter right about now?

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
So much torment and sorrow give her:
For she saith in her heart, I sit a queen,
And am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,
Death, and mourning, and famine;
And she shall be utterly burned with fire (Re 18:7–8).

"Some Christians tickle me, the way they try to divorce their religion from Catholicism."

Divorce the hoe or share in her sins (Ezra 10:1–16, Re 17:5, 18:4).

No Idolatry & False Teaching  

Back When ~ Tim McGraw

"When you see stained glass windows and statues in a Christian church, guess where they got that from; Catholicism!"

Stained glass windows eternal life Jn 14:6

"When you see two Christians getting married, and a ring being placed on a finger, guess where that came from; Catholicism."

Marriage was instituted by God (Gen. 2:18–24).

"Step outside of any Christian church building, and look at the architecture, guess where it came from; Catholicism."

My last church was a grocery store. Mt 18:20

"That grocery store image is a small percentage, the church is rich and getting richer off its people."

Don't confuse Christ's church with that brothel called the Vatican (Re 17:5).

"Contemporary Christians are spending an astronomical amount of money on their buildings..."

Buildings are buildings. Believers are the church. When we leave the building, it is no longer a church (Eph. 4:12).

"...[T]he spirit of Constantine is still living and breathing!"

The daughter of Edom will be judged soon (Is. 34:5, 6).

[Paganism] "...Christian theological education never has recovered from this heavy historical add mix."

That's why we study scripture (Ga 5:9, Ac 17:11).

See:

Inspired Scripture

"The real book on Christianity is that they are not where they think they are with God; God is using them in a far different manner than they suspect."

You are en enemy of God's (2 Pe 2:1). We know what he's up to. You don't. Jn 15:15

"A manner than none of them would agree with doing."

God is good (Ps. 31:19)--worthy of all trust (Ps. 33:21).

"Matthews 5: 1-12...People who are poor in spirit are given the kingdom free."

Requirements of salvation include: confession (Acts 2:21), repentance (Mark 1:15), faith (John 3:14–18), regeneration (John 3:3–8), holy scripture (2 Tim. 3:15). Thomas Nelson Publishers. (1996). Nelson’s quick reference topical Bible index (p. 543). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers.

[Poor in spirit] "...This means spiritually weak people..."

Brokenness leads to salvation (Is. 61:1).

"...[P]eople who are in sorrow; unbelief in God is the greatest sorrow I know of."

Unbelief is caused by:  sin (John 16:9), Satan (John 8:43–47), evil heart (Heb. 3:12), honor from one another (John 5:44), not belonging to Christ (John 10:26), judicial blindness (John 12:37–40).  Thomas Nelson Publishers. (1996). Nelson’s quick reference topical Bible index (pp. 628–629). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers.

"Did you know that the meek can mean the injured?"

Meekness is power under control (Jas 1:21, 3:13).

"People who hate God are seriously injured, but Jesus is still giving them eternal inheritance."

Evil men go to hell.

See:

Hell

"...[E]ternal punishing.. a merciless belief."

God is just (Deut. 32:4).

"Blessed are you when people persecute you; this means that all the believers in God who are condemning others to their hell, which is the worse persecution possible, calling them evil unbelievers, Jesus said these people are really blessed."

John 15:19

"Just another angle to view scripture from; away from your selfish angle."

The scriptures are misused by:  Satan (Matt. 4:6), hypocrites (Matt. 22:23–29), false teachers (2 Cor. 2:17), the unlearned (2 Pet. 3:16). Thomas Nelson Publishers. (1996). Nelson’s quick reference topical Bible index (p. 550). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers.

[Re 2:4] "...Ephesus...But the church has lost that love for everyone."

"Re 2:4 left your first love. To be a Christian is to love the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:21, 23; 1 Cor. 16:22). But the Ephesians’ passion and fervor for Christ had become cold, mechanical orthodoxy. Their doctrinal and moral purity, their undiminished zeal for the truth, and their disciplined service were no substitute for the love for Christ they had forsaken." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1994). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.

"...One of the most serious errors Christianity has made, is to change how they worship..."

Worship is responding to him (John 4:20–24). You don't worship him (Rev. 13:4–13). You attempt to blaspheme (Ps. 74:18).

"...Christian opinion sounds like that same old song."

Your father's going down soon.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:

“I will sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea! Ex 15:1

"...[B]lasphemy to a Christian, is when you disagree with them."

Who cares what we say? What has God said? Jn 14:6

[Pagan influence] "...[T]hese guys came from everywhere and mixed all kinds of things into Christianity."

We root out paganism by studying God's word (2 Ti 3:16).

"One reason why some Christians don't want to remember the past of their religion..."

Proof please (Eph 4:14). God is setting history up to repeat itself (Re 18:4).

"...[T]hey have torn themselves from their own evolution, as if they were never Catholic in their history."

We noticed the murder of 66 million people.

"I mean, its kind of comical, a religion that thinks it can erase pages of history..."

They gave a good college effort.

"...Like trying to remove a family member from the photo album..."

Mk 3:33

"...just because you don't like how they look now."

Same ol' same ol' (Re 17:5).  

"This is one thing they are trying to divorce themselves from..."

I'll shake Ezra's hand when I get the heaven (Ezra 10:1–16). Being the bride comes with great responsibility (Esth 4:13).

"The real book on Christianity, is a book they are afraid to read."

Satan (Jas 4:7) and his followers are the cowards (Re 21:8). We live by truth (Jn 14:6).

"...[A]ll the churches of God now are deceived."

Mk 4:15, 13:22

"...[S]top trying to teach the church of God is in a position it is not."

Everyone's got it wrong but you (Eph 4:14).

"...[S]atan is stomping all over 5 stages of the church. And the church is acting like he is not."

Mt 16:18

[ Mk 4:15, 13:22, Mt 16:18] "In Rev. 12:9 everybody is deceived by Satan.  The whole world has been exposed, and I am not excluded."

2 Ti 3:16

"...[T]hey can't even see or feel the stomps."

Only you can (Eph 4:14).

"...It's been interesting to track this amazing seduction of the Christian mind."

"Constantine was a Christian, but almost to his dying day, he still functioned as the High Priest of Paganism..."

Constantine was nothing but a descendant of Esau (2 Pe 2:1, Jud 11).

Response to comment [from other]: [So-called Christians, pagans] "They still celebrate pagan holidays. Notice then their love of Christmas..."

"In Jeremiah 10:2-8 we read,
Thus says the Lord: ‘Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good.’ Inasmuch as there is none like You O Lord (You are great, and your name is great in might) who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like you. But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; a wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.”..." Full text: The Origins of the Christmas Tree

"The real book on Christianity is they cannot look in the mirror of their past; like a vampire with no reflection, paganism has sucked the things God had placed in it- out!"
Re 18:5



"...[T]hey will not give those traditions up."

We keep the commandments not the 600 some ordinances added (Mt 23:2–3).

"You remember the Catholic church, it's what the original church mutated into."

Catholics set out to murder believing Jews and Christians (1 Jn 2:18). They are a cult of Mary not Christian.

"The real book on Christianity is, they were chosen by God to begin the age of deception in his church."



“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men.

“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven (Mt 5:13–16).

"Do you think its impossible for a whole religion to be deceived?"

Everyone but you (Eph 4:14).

"You'd best read Rev. 12:9 again."

"Re 12:9. that old serpent—alluding to Ge 3:1, 4.

Devil—the Greek, for “accuser,” or “slanderer.”

Satan—the Hebrew for “adversary,” especially in a court of justice. The twofold designation, Greek and Hebrew, marks the twofold objects of his accusations and temptations, the elect Gentiles and the elect Jews.

world—Greek, “habitable world.”

10. Now—Now that Satan has been cast out of heaven. Primarily fulfilled in part at Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, when He said (Mt 28:18), “All power [Greek, ‘exousia,’ ‘authority,’ as here; see below] is given unto Me in heaven and in earth”; connected with Rev 12:5, “Her child was caught up unto God and to His throne.” In the ulterior sense, it refers to the eve of Christ’s second coming, when Israel is about to be restored as mother-church of Christendom, Satan, who had resisted her restoration on the ground of her unworthiness, having been cast out by the instrumentality of Michael, Israel’s angelic prince (see on Rev 12:7). Thus this is parallel, and the necessary preliminary to the glorious event similarly expressed, Rev 11:15, “The kingdom of this world is become (the very word here, Greek, ‘egeneto,’ ‘is come,’ ‘hath come to pass’) our Lord’s and His Christ’s,” the result of Israel’s resuming her place."

"The real book on Christianity is they are the blind leading the blind..."

 You're projecting again (Eph 4:14). We believe. You do not (Acts 9:8, 9).

"Hey, Roman Catholicism was a distinct form of Christianity..."

Catholics aren't Christian.

You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead (Re 3:1, NASB).

"If you say something negative about Christianity, they think the devil inspired it."

Gotta keep an eye on those devils.

"...in 1 John 2:16 it speaks about the pride of life..."

"1 Jn 2:16 ...pride of life—literally, “arrogant assumption”: vainglorious display. Pride was Satan’s sin whereby he fell and forms the link between the two foes of man, the world (answering to “the lust of the eyes”) and the devil (as “the lust of the flesh” is the third foe). Satan tried this temptation on Christ in setting Him on the temple pinnacle that, in spiritual pride and presumption, on the ground of His Father’s care, He should cast Himself down. The same three foes appear in the three classes of soil on which the divine seed falls: the wayside hearers, the devil; the thorns, the world; the rocky undersoil, the flesh (Mt 13:18–23; Mk 4:3–8). The world’s awful antitrinity, the “lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,” similarly is presented in Satan’s temptation of Eve: “When she saw that the tree was good for food, pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,” Ge 3:6 (one manifestation of “the pride of life,” the desire to know above what God has revealed, Col 2:8, the pride of unsanctified knowledge)."

"One of the worst spirits a church could have is a vain deceitful spirit of tradition, Col.2:8. And I think eternal hell punishing has been fashioned after this tradition."

You're projecting again (Eph 4:14).

"Col 2:8. Translate, “Beware (literally, ‘Look’ well) lest there shall be (as I fear there is: the Greek indicative expresses this) any man (pointing to some known emissary of evil, Ga 1:7) leading you away as his spoil (not merely gaining spoil out of you, but making yourselves his spoil) through (by means of) his philosophy,” &c. The apostle does not condemn all philosophy, but “the philosophy” (so Greek) of the Judaic-oriental heretics at Colosse, which afterwards was developed into Gnosticism. You, who may have “the riches of full assurance” and “the treasures of wisdom,” should not suffer yourselves to be led away as a spoil by empty, deceitful philosophy: “riches” are contrasted with spoil; “full” with “vain,” or empty (Col 2:2, 3, 9)."
