BlueAngel444:Ephesians 6:17 And take the hermet of salvation and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT...which is the word of God.... There the bible tells us to defend ourself with the herment of salvation,with the shield of faith,and breastplate of righteousness but most importantly Attack with the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT,which is professing the word of God through prayers...and thats what mfm is utilizing...stay blessed. |

ojaysam25:not to use as an attack weapon but to set captives free, to break the bonds and chains of lies and deceptions, strongholds of manipulation. I am not saying evil people won't perish, I am saying we don't purposefully seek such. We use the sword to separate those who are to be born of God from darkness. We disarm wickedness and render powers of evil ineffective. For their very evil will destroy them if they continue it and not out of fear of what they could do to use for if we offer not ourselves to them they have no power over the life of God in us. Men can hurt our flesh but not our souls for what we value the most is not our flesh but our souls. |

JoyAda1234:Stay away from the church-world. Every church run by man is of man and not of God. Pick up your Bible and read what God says (not what men say) and what Jesus said. That is the truth in the Bible. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Emperor Julian.. "It is, I think, expedient to set forth to all mankind the reasons by which I was convinced that the fabrication of the Galilaeans is a fiction of men composed by wickedness. Though it has in it nothing divine, by making full use of that part of the soul which loves fable and is childish and foolish, it has induced men to believe that the monstrous tale is truth. " |

FrLukas:You are right that there is only one church however where I believe you are wrong is that that one church is the Roman Catholic Church. I think the mistake you make is looking at the church as a physical organisation. The church which Jesus referred to as his bride is a spiritual church. Anybody who believes in Jesus and has accepted Jesus into their lives are part of this spiritual church, it doesn't matter the denomination they attend in the physical. There a many in the Catholic Church who are part of this spiritual and universal church, there are also many in the Catholic Church that are not part of this Church. The same thing is applicable to other denominations. There is no physical church organisation that is number one or the only one, so long as you are a follower of Christ, we are all one body in Christ spiritually. The body of Christ is not divided by physical divisions created by men. |

Kobojunkie:While I agree with your submission, I also believe it's important to have a place where you fellowship with other Christians. Iron sharpens iron, and the Bible says we shouldn't forsake the assembling of ourselves together. The problem with many Christians is that instead of seeing the church as a gathering of saints to fellowship with each other where there is no one all knowing member, they will rather see their pastors as God and follow whatever he says sheepishly. When the pastor errs or preaches heresy, they will all follow and be deceived. You rightly pointed out this churches created and run by men are the church of men and that the Bible is the only genuine source for knowledge of God's will. I only wanted to add that while studying the word for yourself, it's also important to have a gathering of Christians where you can fellowship with other Bible believing Christians. |

Gullah:But that is a part of the deception created by men to deceive their fellow men. Jesus Christ never said you need to "fellowship with others". He never taught His disciples to do any such, and His commandments are clear for those who care for the Truth He has brought to mankind. Gullah:Well, Sure, Iron sharpeneth Iron, but I am afraid to have to tell you that even stone can do the job. So, what does that mean? Gullah:That one small verse has been used as excuse to deceive Billions of souls into funding the dreams of men with kingdoms to build. Starting before the Roman church to the protestant movement, that one single SUGGESTION of Paul's has been used, laced in the name of God though, to build vast empires for mere men all of them claiming they do so for God. See https://www.nairaland.com/5991821/reaction-reno-omokri-kicks-against#91750955 The gathering of the first Christians were surely not for the reasons that Christians gather today. The first Christians gathered to carry out the work that Jesus Christ had set before them( Feeding and Caring of God's Sheep, as well as preaching of the Gospels), not the "Praise and worship" services and sessions of today's churchWorld. Gullah:Your churchWorlds today are not of the gathering of saints though for how can God be in that which He never instructed His followers to do in His name? The doctrines and traditions taught in the churchworld is a big enough clue that these buildings house kingdoms that are not of God but the men that run them. ** substituted from another Bible translation for better understanding of what is impacted Gullah: I would suggest any person who really believes and follows Jesus Christ to listen to what John the apostle said below, and that is let God teach you everything..

BlueAngel444: Oh! I came too late, I hope you do know that you are sparring with the prince of evil? He has swallowed up many popular souls here who now faithfully follow and serve to wit CAPSLOCKED, Somvayina, Nobody, Budaatum many many souls. He is pure evil and a true Serpent. Twisting and turning until he swallows up his hapless victim who does not even know that she is being swallowed by an Anaconda. See how he twists and turns exactly like Satan in the Bible, Lying with the Truth or Bending the Truth out of Shape. And exactly like Satan, once properly resisted, he disappears. Check his old threads and see the souls who once stood against him but now, follow him. Look at their ignorant arguments and look at his slimy Lying with the Truth Cunning and Deception! He is A True Evil in the Flesh, I do say so, on the Authority Of The Word of God, which says "An evil tree Must Always bear an evil fruit! 1 Like |

Re: I Was Deceived. by Kobojunkie: 9:34pm On Jul 16, 2020 |
Gullah:The World Church out there are physical organizations, and are not the Church that Jesus Christ spoke of. For you see, the World Church, all organizations built and run by men, stand against the very word and teaching of Jesus Christ Himself i.e. they are anti-Christ in nature, and so can not be said to be the same Church that Jesus Christ refers to. Gullah:How can that which is of God engage in that which is against God? [/quote] How can that which belongs to God be a part of that which is against God's word and commandments? Jesus Christ warned His followers not to worship two masters, in this case. Those who chose to be a part of the world church essentially do so by worshiping the doctrines and rules created by men(presented in the name of God to deceive many), serving the men who own these churches and futhering the kingdom of men, and not God. Though they worship in the name of Jesus Christ, there master is really not Jesus Christ but the men whose doctrines and traditions they have chosen to chain their lives and souls to instead. Jesus Christ warned His followers against adopting the doctrines and traditions of men, warning that by doing so, they make the decision to nullify the very power of God in their lives and situations, rendering their worship of God meaningless. ** substituted from another Bible translation for better understanding of what is impacted |

macjireh:I can guarantee you that God is not a part of that world-church either. Any church that is an offshoot of the church of Rome is not of God. Any church that teaches the doctrines and traditions that are of men is not of God. Any church that adds or removes from the word of God...does not present Jesus Christ's message as He taught it, is not of God. Any church that ignores Jesus Christ's commandments and the obedience of all of them is not of God. Any church that teaches doctrine of grace over obedience of all that which Jesus Christ commands is not of God. |

JoyAda1234: Finally, another soul free from the lies of that Church! Indeed they are at the bolded! You are not wrong and can Never offend God for discovering the Truth! Do not fall into the wrong hands again in your search for another Church for in truth these are the last days and as God had warned " His words shall be scarce". My humble advice is read the Bible for yourself and ask God for understanding. Understanding comes from God himself and does not reside in man. It is the Lord who giveth it. If you seek understanding like that phone or shoe or dress you so greatly desire and never give up till it is yours, then the Lord has promised to give it to you. Whatever you get is for yourself and for your use, and it is you who shall stand, not a priest or pastor,but you! 2 Likes |

Re: I Was Deceived. by Kobojunkie: 5:54pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
macjireh:If you don't go against the teachings of Jesus Christ as you claim, then what are you doing sitting inside of your church-world week after week? Let me guess doing "praise and worship" services, all of which are according to man's doctrine by the way? Did you even know that Jesus Christ never taught His disciples to do that? No, man made a religion out of it though. Jesus Christ never taught that prayer was key, no He never did. He said obedience is the only key, but man made s religion too out of prayer, so you all can have a reason to keep contributing to thr building of man's kingdom rather than getting out to use the same resources where God would rather you do. At least learn from the example of the first Christians who spent their time doing works of Righteousness knowing it is by obeying and doing exactly what Jesus Christ commands that they can have their desires and needs met, and their lives lived according to the will of God, not man. Did you also know that each person who claims to be born again is required to spend own time doing the Will of God, not as a member of a group? When i said that no offshoot of a corrupt beginning can suddenly become of God, i didn't make that up at all. If you spend your time in church-world when you are instead supposed to be working out your own salvation through the works done in obedience to the commandments of Jesus Christ, you are still not doing it God's way but man's way. |

I was going to ask op how he/she uncovered the word the word "dis-ease", but I see it is credited to someone else. For now I see the word disease is actually dis-ease, which is what disease does to you. It puts you at unease, takes away your ease and peace, hence dis-ease. Thank you op for bringing this to light and I wonder if you picked it as well. |

JoyAda1234: If you want to really please God and enter his Kingdom, you need to be sorry for nothing. You should be Sorry for innocent people, but not "deception and Leaders or False Prophets who LOVE to use it to lead people astray. 1 john 4 says TEST them. Test even the denomination or church you're right now. Deception is the number ONE weapon of the enemies in these last days. I strongly believe in fellowship, but I've had to leave my last church since 2014. Of course, you can guess I must have visited most types of common churches around. So you don't need to ask me the names of my former Churches or Pastors. May Jesus bless you. 1 Like |
