Who Are You Following? Men or God?

For such false apostles are deceitful workers, and transform themselves into the Apostles of Christ. And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transform themselves, as though they were the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

What we call “church” today is not what Jesus Christ established, but instead are organizations built and orchestrated by the hands of man. Our “churches” are based on the rules and traditions of man, and they encapsulate the same spirit and bondage that existed in the Old Covenant. Do Not Be Deceived: If you are part of this man-made system that the world calls “church” – you are following its’ leaders and the religious crowd. It is not the Church in the New Testament. You are following men and have allowed them to usurp Christ’s Lordship in your life. If you truly desire to put Jesus first, we hope at least you will look into what we are saying here. In due time, we will clearly demonstrate through God’s Word, how “church leaders” are not functioning as the elders did in the New Testament. But more importantly, we will substantiate that what we call and understand to be “church” for centuries – never existed when the New Testament was written.

Men have built many “churches” – Jesus Christ built only one Church. Jesus and He alone is the Head of the Church. There is no other. Most believers have substituted “church” for their relationship with Jesus. They have embraced a false gospel, and we assure you that the vast majority of believers are walking on the broad road of destruction. We appeal to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to get off this road before it is too late, and make the decision to enter through the narrow gate. What Satan has presented as good, and as if it is ordained by God – is a contrivance birthed out of the motives and traditions of men.

For the time being, we ask that you set aside any fears or emotions, and carefully look into what we are saying. Most believers immediately reject a concept as false teaching, simply because it has been denounced by the men and women they follow and esteem. First and foremost, we must look into God’s Word in its pure and simple form, without adding traditions or religious acts to it. We need to study God’s Word for ourselves, and not just accept what someone say (including us), without validating it. Instead of applying the teachings of men to the Scriptures – we need to take the Scriptures first, and validate man’s teachings. Many will soon discover that a great deal of their teachings are false. The greatest deception by far is the mandate that believers are required to attend and support this thing we call “church,” which is fed and propelled through idolatry.

It is vital that we consider God’s Word in the proper context in which it was written. For this reason, it is important that every believer have at least a minor grasp of “church” history. We pray the Holy Spirit will begin to peel away at the scales covering your eyes, and for you to come to the realization that 2,000 years later, we are still in bondage to the laws and traditions of man. Not God’s laws – man’s laws. These are the very laws that Jesus Christ redeemed us from at the cross. We have been beguiled for centuries into believing that this thing we call “church” is from God. Our relationship with Jesus is not contingent on anything orchestrated or built by the hands of man. We know our site is going to offend many, and we are sorry about this, but the truth is more important. Your eternal destiny and the destiny of others are at stake here.

This thing we call “church” is an idolatrous substitute for our relationship with Jesus that has no biblical basis. Satan has successfully compromised the Body of Christ with the world’s standards and methods. For most, it is hard to fathom that these institutions can be so detrimental, because we deem them as holy and benevolent. We falsely believe by attending these places that we are safe in God’s eyes. We enjoy the false sense of spiritual maturity we gain by attending “church,”and being involved in all the activities and programs it has to offer. Let’s be totally honest here – we want others to think of us as “spiritual” Christians. For many, “church” provides us with entertainment, and is basically a religious social club for a great number of believers.

All of these things centers around “church” – Jesus is a byproduct, although touted as the star. Make no mistake – the star is “church” – not Jesus. Not only are these places idolatrous to its very core, but they have completely deconstructed the Ecclesia that Jesus Himself built. We have reinvented the Church, and have forever altered our witness and impact in the world. Again, our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to this deception, and that you would be willing to put Jesus first, over your emotions and this man-made system. Pray for God’s guidance and wisdom as you look into and contemplate what we are saying. In order to do this, you have to commit yourself to searching the truth. The only way to do so requires putting Christ first over your own desires.

What you do now will truly determine who is Lord over your life. If it is man, you will leave this site immediately. Your flesh will not permit you to go any further because the flesh always fears the truth. God’s Word says He that is spiritual examines all things (1 Corinthians 2:15). If you sincerely desire to please God, you will continue to read. Why? Because that means you are willing to risk hearing something you rather not hear – because pleasing Him is more important than your personal comfort and desires. Going somewhere you rather not is worth the risk if you truly put Him first. And as in all things – at the end of the day, you are still free to believe as you wish. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman – He will not force you. We too ran away (over and over again) when God first confronted us about our idolatry, but in the end, His truth prevailed over our own desires.

What we understand as “church” today is a counterfeit system and concept that originated out of Roman Catholicism. Protestants, your “churches’”are just as idolatrous and unbiblical as the “Catholic Church.” Indeed, you are indebted to the “Catholic Church” for this system you have adopted – and worship. I repeat this system You worship. Both are man-made systems bred out idolatry and the traditions of man, and are fueled by your own idolatry. You are the driving force behind this system that serves as an idolatrous substitute for Jesus Christ. Jesus is a byproduct of this thing we call “church.” This is a system created by men walking in the flesh – for those who walk in the flesh. It stands in place of the one and only True Church Jesus created. To put Jesus and this man-made system on the same level is nothing but idolatry.

Any person who claims that Jesus commanded believers to attend “church” is either deceived – or is a liar. Nowhere in the New Testament did Jesus instruct believers to build “churches” or join them. “Churches” did not exist when the New Testament was written. Jesus certainly want us to have fellowship with other believers, but that only requires 2 or 3 believers at a minimum. It can be more than 2, but make no mistake – it is violation of Scripture if it is part of the man-made “church system.” The “institutional church government” is based not only a system that Jesus replaced through His death, but on a system Christ has forbidden. Satan has truly deceived us.

The word “church” in the Scriptures erroneously replaced the word Ecclesia, and was deliberately mistranslated by men with their own carnal agendas. The word “church” and Ecclesia have entirely different meanings. How do we know this? We have the original Scriptures and the true origins of the words within. God’s Word should have been enough for us, but the law and man’s traditions have taken over the Holy Spirit in our lives. You can not clearly hear the voice of the Holy Spirit if you are operating under the law. No believer will ever have a truly, genuine relationship with Jesus based on this idolatrous system that falsely presents itself as being the Church Christ built.

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. Galations 5:4

Going to this thing we call “church” is an invention of man; it is a contrived rule birthed out tradition and works of the law. And yes – you are of the world if you have any part in such a man-made system. If Jesus means more to you than this system you call “church”, then at the very least hear us out. We are desperately trying to help you to distinguish between religion and Jesus – religion that has been taught and propagated by men for over 1,700 years. Your eternal destiny is at stake here.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

Get into God’s Word and take Him at His Word. Stop incorporating the false teachings men have taught you, and applying them to Scripture to make them fit. If you have been prompted by the Holy Spirit that something is not right about this “church system”, then it is critical not to ignore Him. If you are so deceived that you think these “church organizations” represents Jesus, and are one and the same thing, then you truly are engaged in idolatry at the highest level.

As this site is in its infancy, we will be adding more material and information in time. We’re sorry, but if we do not speak out on the behalf of others, God will hold us unaccountable. And just as He holds us accountable for speaking the truth, so does He hold you. God expects us to defend His Word, even when it is not popular. Beloved, your eyes are blinded by the enemy and the teachings of man. Not only are you deceived, but you deceive others with this false, unbiblical gospel. You are administering death instead of life when you promote this false gospel.

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in destructive, untrue teachings, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their destructive ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be defamed” (2 Peter 2:1-2).
