20 False Doctrines In Churches Today- By Apostle Joseph Udoh by DocJoseph(m): 9:33am On Feb 04, 2022
�Heresy or False doctrines means Practicing what was not practised in the New Testament...or practicing what is against the scriptures according to Jesus teachings and lifestyles. HERESY means practicing Belief that is necessary, but which is not Biblical in New Testament. I'm talking about New Testament, because we are not in Old Testament again. So, we Christian must follow New Testament beliefs that Jesus and His Disciples believe and teach. Anything outside this, is classified as HERESY or False Doctrines.

�Followers of the Christian religion base their beliefs on the life or lifestyles, teachings and death of Jesus Christ. Christians believe in one God that created heaven, earth and the universe. The belief in one God originated with the Jewish religion. Christians believe Jesus is the “Messiah” or savior of the world.

Let me exposed some False doctrines(which are not in the new testament Bible) in some churches today::::

� 1. Bowing down to Graven images (idol worship): Worshipping Mary is unscriptural.

The book of exodus 20 strongly warned that nobody should bow down to any images that resembles Jesus, Paul, Mary, Abraham etc...Salvation or healing or intervention does not come from those Graven images... But from God. Do you know what is inside that graven images that looks like Mary? I know some peoples will bring examples of instances in the Bible that support this act....but the Truth is, Jesus never bow down to any Graven images or do His disciples... So, since Jesus Christ and his disciples didn't bow down to any Graven images... So, It's called false Doctrine or HERESY.

�2. Sunday worship:
Do your research in the Bible, nobody worshiped on Sundays in the new Testament. Paul was only teaching his colleagues until Sunday morning because he couldn't finished talking to them on the Sabbath day, and there was no sacred gathering that morning. There was no breaking of bread that morning, that means Sunday is not Biblical. According to customs, Jesus was only teaching his disciples or followers every Sabbath day (Saturday). According to Paul's custom, he was only teaching his colleagues or fellow Christian on the Sabbath day (Saturday)...

. And all Jesus disciples only observed Saturdays as the day of Redemption and restoration. Everyday is not the same...because the Bible makes it clear in Exodus 20... It says that the Sabbath day Saturday is the only Holy day for worship, but Satan have deceived the world into disobeying the Sabbath rule. Jesus didn't abolished the Sabbath worship. He was only telling them that it's good to do good to people on the Sabbath day, but he didn't come to abolish any law.

Forget what Apostle Paul said that *We shouldn't allow anybody to bother us about the Sabbath rule...because he also obeyed the Sabbath rule.... Why must Paul stopped others from obeying the Sabbath rule? So, worshipping on Sundays is a False doctrine, because Jesus and His disciples only observed Saturdays as Sabbath, and not Sundays. Biblically, Sabbath was on Saturdays until Roman Catholic changed it Sundays (the first day of the week) because Jesus was resurrected on Sunday morning.... The Bible strongly warned that nobody should Add or substrate from the scriptures, but R.C changed the Scriptures, and 80% of churches obeyed their changes. So, since Jesus Christ and his disciples didn't observed Sundays, observing Sundays instead of Saturdays is a disobedience(Hebrew 4).

. Matt 19:16-21 says that Jesus commanded people to observed moses laws( 10 commandments from God including the Sabbath rule).... So, Sundays worship is not Biblical, it's heretical. I cannot practice what Jesus Christ and his disciples didn't practised.
Ref: Acts 17:2; Luke 4:16, Exodus 20:8-11. Matt 19:16-21. Hebrew 4.

�3. TRINITY SYNDROME:
Biblically, there's no word like Trinity in the Bible. We have only one God, and one Mediator or Savior which is Jesus Christ. 1tim 2:5-7. And Holy Spirit is not God, but our Comforter. Jesus Christ clearly states that nobody is good except His Father God in matt 19.... Jesus Christ never called himself God...and He's never commanded anybody to called him God. He said he's the SON OF MAN... HE'S THE SON OF GOD. ...Jesus never claims to be God.... Because he said that there's only One God which is His Father Jehovah. Trinity syndrome means Jesus Christ is fully God, and Holy spirit is fully God also(3Gods)....Somebody say it's *3-in-1 God��....which is wrong.
God said that He cannot share his attribute with anybody... We are all sons of God including Jesus Christ.... Yahweh is the Father, Jesus Christ is our Savior and Holy spirit is our comforter. Anything outside this is False doctrine or HERESY or False teachings.

�4. EASTER WORSHIP:
Nobody celebrated Easter in the new Testament. The word Easter can only be found in King James Bible. If it was Biblical, then why can't we find Easter in all the versions of Bible? Since none of Jesus Disciples or early Church in the new Testament celebrated Easter, then it's false Doctrine or HERESY. It was Roman Catholic that brings Easter celebration, it's not Biblical.

�5. Christmas celebration:
There was no celebration of that kind in the new Testament. Nobody celebrated Xmas in the Bible. Because nobody knows where Jesus Christ was born.. Somebody is saying *In a Manger� that was the Lie we were all taught in the school or Sunday school classes. The Truth is, Nobody celebrated Xmas in the Bible. Xmas was established by Roman Catholic as a necessity, but not found in the Bible. We Christian love to celebrate what wasn't celebrated in the Bible so that we may look more religious than others. So, since nobody celebrated Xmas in the new Testament, then it's false Doctrine or HERESY.

�6. Birthday celebration in the Church�

Can you imagine a Pastor or G.O allowing Birthday celebration in the church? And even cut a cake? What for? What is so special about the day you were born? Will that help you to enter the kingdom of God? No....so, since Jesus Christ and his disciples didn't observed Birthday celebration in the church, it's false Doctrine or HERESY.

�7. Your physical appearance doesn't matter:
That's what some false teachers always teach. They forgot that Paul advice members to dress decently and cover their private parts. These pastors allow anyhow dressings into their Church because they want more members. Some exposed their breasts to church, some wear short skirts, some women wear Trousers and show the shape of their Bumbum and the size if their Kpetus� Some fixes eyelashes to church and Pastor still welcome them inside church and even gave them front seat. What a Pastor. Such belief that God is not interested on ur outward appearance is False doctrine or HERESY or False teachings. Repent.

�8. Tithes:
Since Jesus Christ and his disciples didn't collect tithes in the new Testament, it means it's false Doctrine or HERESY or False teachings. No Preacher collected tithes in the new Testament. Tithes was meant for the Israelites, not Gentiles. Or are we from Israel??� Somebody say *we are Israel spiritually. That's a fat lie. We are Gentiles.

Somebody say *There's no Gentiles or Hebrew again� Really? If were are one in Christ Jesus, then why did Jesus Christ instructed his disciples not to preach his kingdom to the Gentiles? Some Pastors say *You're cursed if you don't pay tithes�Are we still under a curse? What a Pastor! Some pastors say *You're a thief or you cannot prosper or become rich if you don't pay tithes� What a lie?
The Truth is, there's no special blessings in paying tithes... How? Because God blesses everybody including the wicked not because they pay tithes. Matt 5:44-47. A man in Uyo went to the university, graduated and got a better job with better salary, he got married with kids, build mansions and drive exotic cars or jeeps.... But this guy doesn't pay tithes. Who blesses this Man? Is it not God? Is it through paying tithes? My people perished because of lack of knowledge.

Any Pastor can implement the Tithe commandments because it has to do with money. Some Pastors loves money more than winning souls for God.
�The Truth is, Apostle Paul didn't collect tithes... Jesus Disciples didn't collect tithes, even the Early church didn't collect tithes(It was only the Pharisees that collected tithes, are we Pharisees?�) somebody say *Jesus didn't abolished the tithes.... My question is, If Jesus Christ allowed tithes, then why didn't Paul and Jesus Disciples collect tithes in the new Testament?... So, it's unscriptural, False teachings or doctrine, because you cannot buy God's blessings with your tithes. If paying tithes maketh one rich, everybody will be Rich today... So, guys, use your money judiciously�Get a job, don't rely on member's tithes for survival. You're the one that was supposed to help the members financially, not members helping you. Some pastors opened a Church because of tithes and offerings.
�So, tithes is not for Christians. That was why it wasn't included in the 10 commandments because it's not necessary again.

�9. DIVORCE:
Many Pastors say that there's nothing like Divorce... Whereas Jesus Christ allowed Divorce when he said *Except for cheating or unfaithfulness or infidelity. What they're trying to do is that, they're encouraging Wives to cheat on their husband that their husbands cannot divorce them....Yes, Jesus say *Don't divorce your wife, but he also say Divorce her if you catch her on top of another man, except u wan forgive her. So, Divorce is Biblical, any Pastor that teach that you cannot divorce your wife for any reason is False teachings or doctrine or HERESY.

�10. Church wedding:
Wedding in Cana wasn't a Sacred gathering wedding where Scriptures were opened or bread was broken or Prayers were prayed, but it was a Traditional marriage ceremony...because Jesus Christ didn't preach there...there was no Marriage vows like we do today in some churches. Some say church weddings is for the Blessings�Which blessings? Once your Father Inlaw and Mother Inlaw blesses you on the Traditional marriage day, you're blessed forever... You don't need a Pastor's blessings for the marriage to work.... All those marriages that always end in divorce, didn't a Pastor blessed them on the wedding day?� Nko uto ado.

� 11. Crucifix:
What are you doing with Crucifix in the Church again? Using crucifix to pray is not necessary again. Wearing big cross on your chest is against the Scriptures.

�12. Breaking of Covenant (Ukpuk ukpong)
Breaking of Red cross olive oil for ukpuk-ukpong is unscriptural. Nobody performed such doctrine in the new testament.

❤13. Evil Rings
A Pastor shouldn't wear many rings in his Fingers apart from a wedding Ring. If you see any Pastor or prophet with different Rings on his Fingers, that's a sign he is Evil. A lot of Pastors will not tell you this. Even that wedding Ring on their fingers can be manipulated for fake miracles. Beware of such prophets.

❤14. Flowers for Assignment.
No priest in the Bible gave anybody Flowers as Husband or wife. If you see any Pastor or prophet that gave you or somebody flowers as husband during prophecy time in any church, that's Spiritual husband that's given to you....and you will start having sex in the dream. Burn those flowers and your problems is over. Spiritually, flowers doesn't represent Love or husband.... It's man's inventions. They tried to compared love with flowers, because flowers is always beautiful... But no pastor gave women flowers as husband in the Bible. This is fake doctrine.

❤ 15. Marine Assignments: (Eridara Mme Angels)
Giving children or members Fanta, Groundnuts and rice to rejoice with their Angels or celebration is a marine assignments. it's demonic. No pastor did that in the Bible. Beware of such prophets or churches. That's a marine Church.

�16. Bathing Deliverance:
This is the process where a Pastor or prophet or prophetess bath a lady or guy in the church in the name of deliverance. That's direct initiation into marine kingdoms. If you noticed or if you were advised to go to such Church for deliverance, please don't go, because they're going to initiate you fully into the marine kingdom. Beware of such prophets or churches. Don't patronised them.

❤17. Repeating Same prayer points:
This doctrine is being practiced in almost all churches nowadays. Why are you repeating a particular prayer point twice or thrice... What for? Does it mean that God didn't hear you the first time you pray it? Jesus Christ himself has condemned this practice in his teachings.

�18. ROSARY BEADS:
Using Rosary or prayer beads is unscriptural. It's a false doctrine. Nobody uses beads or Rosary beads to pray in the new testament.... Beware of such churches. Say No to False doctrines.

�19. Burying Charms on the Church pulpit:
This practice is Real... Some pastors/prophets buried human heads or Animals in their pulpit or church compound just to perform fake miracles. God doesn't dwells on church pulpits or Manmade temples or Altars. God is spirit. God is everywhere. He's omnipresent. Stop bowing down to church pulpits of some churches, because Idolatry now occurs in 80% of churches today. Beware! No pastor may tell you this. Only strong pastors that was called can expose the truth like this. If God have opened your eyes or you had a bad revelation against your Church burying charms on pulpit, please leave that Church immediately. Don't say it's just a dream.

❤ 20. Praying for your Human Enemies to die:

Whether it's necessary or not, praying for people to die is unscriptural in the new testament. This doctrine or teaching is not biblical. Jesus Christ himself condemned this doctrine in Matt 5:43-44, it was necessary in the Old testament....but Jesus Christ said we should *pray for our enemies and do good to those that persecute us* so that we can be true sons of God.

How many Pastors or Prophets is obeying this Scriptures nowadays? Almost everybody want their enemies to die so that they can be Rich and live in Peace on earth without attacks... This is wrong practice. My enemies must die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die���� If God decide to kill our enemies like we always pray, then nobody will be alive today, because some of us are enemies to others. In fact, without your enemies attacking you, will you wake up and pray? Will you even go to church to pray? Orrr.

The only person that Jesus Christ commanded us to attack him is SATAN (De Devil), but before you start attacking the Devil, make sure you're strong in the Scriptures and spiritually.... You cannot kill Demons like some used to do, because they're spirit, praying for d Devil to die is very childish... But you can attack him with the Holy Ghost Fire, and in the name of Jesus Christ, Demons will run....
��������
Many people will hate this post because it exposes the Biblical truths and errors, mistakes or ignorance of some churches or members. Many people will also say that I'm judging people... But there's a huge different between exposing the errors, mistakes and ignorances in the Christendom and judging people by mentioning names.... It's left for you to repent after reading this message.

❤❤❤❤Only the Wise in Scriptural bitter Truth will understand and believe this... Those that hates the truth will ignore this post...and those that doesn't have the Spirit of Truth in them will start insulting and calling me names....those that are Guilty of these False doctrines will say I don't know anything about the Scriptures and even unfriend me.... But the truth must be told. Am not afraid to say the truth. Selah!!

Re: 20 False Doctrines In Churches Today- By Apostle Joseph Udoh by immortalcrown(m): 9:52am On Feb 04, 2022
Some of your points are right and some are wrong. Let me address some of the wrong ones.

Point 1: Catholics and Mary
Catholics do not worship Mary. They only honour Mary and acknowledge her relevance in Christianity. During prayers in Churches, people are used as "Points of contact". People send prayer requests to Pastors or Bishops, with the belief or expectation that those pastors and bishops are more prayerful. People also bow for those pastors and bishops as a sign of respect. Some individuals, during their prayers, say "God of Pastor this, God of Bishop that...". Churches say "God of Isaac, God of Jacob", etcetera. These are what Catholics do to Mary. Catholics, when they see the image of Mary, bow for Mary. The image is not what they bow to, the image is just a reminder. There has to be a physical symbol to represent sacred beings. After all, people hang the pictures of dead relatives on walls for remembrance. Some even decorate the graves to show that the dead relatives played important roles before dying. Some people revisit the graves yearly and drop new flowers on each visit. Why shouldn't Mary be given such treatment? The image of Mary is like an altar in a Church. An alter looks different from the rest of a Church building as a physical depiction of inequality between God and humans. Churches have their logos and pastors as stickers. Why do you try to misinterpret Catholic's own? Catholics do not pray to Mary as some of you claim. Catholics call on Mary for intercession to God, the same way Church members tell pastors to assist the members in prayer. "Holy Mary, pray for us." Is Mary not holy or can't she pray for humans? Catholics do not say "Holy Mary, give me a child. Holy Mary, heal me. Holy Mary, have mercy on me." So, how do Catholics worship Mary? Catholics also tell saints to pray for us. Example, "Saint Raphael, pray for us". So, Mary is not the only one Catholics call on for prayer intercession. The question you should ask yourself is, Between Mary and those pastors and bishops, who has contributed more to Christianity and deserves more honour? It is not easy to live a pure (righteous) life. Mary lived a pure life, which is why God considered her worthy to be the mother of Jesus Christ. And until her death, the Bible did not record that she deviated from holiness.

Point 2: Sunday Worship
Did God make any day unholy? No day or time is biblically wrong for people to worship God. You can choose Monday for your own worship. The Bible does not say Sunday is wrong for worshiping God. As a matter of fact, God is to be worshiped daily. Sunday is just a day for general gatherings for many Churches. A Church already has Saturday for its own general gathering and nobody is quarreling about it.

Point 6: Birthday (Anniversary) Celebration
No day, in a person's life, is as significant as the day (date) of the person's birth, not even the day the person gets married. Your date of birth begins a new year in your life. 1st January is just a general new year for compatibility, orderliness and synchronization among various human activities. A man's personal calendar starts on his birth date. The only problem with how people celebrate birthday is that people leave out the main thing and concentrate on merriment. Birthday anniversary is a day to audit spent years and prayerfully plan the years ahead. If at all there should be anything like a new-year resolution, it should be on birth date, not on 1st January unless the person was born on 1st January. Therefore, celebration of birthday anniversary is right. Just that it should be done rightly. Many people see it as a day for fornication, drunkenness and irrational spending of money.
