What caused this degeneration in the church, in all of Christendom? It always has been and will continue to be idolatry. God is speaking of idolatry when he says to Jeremiah, “Has a nation - people changed its gods, which are not gods? For my people have changed their glory for what does not profit.” (Jeremiah 2:11).
Now the question is how has Christendom committed idolatry?
It took place when the Gentile believers began to look at scripture with a Greek philosophical outlook instead of reading the scriptures from a Hebrew mindset. The result was that the leaders of the church around the beginning of the second century began to look at Jesus as more than a man and began to see him like unto one of the Greek gods who could manifest themselves as human beings. Those man-made concepts eventually turned Jesus into a being that had pre-existed his birth and then become a god/man. In this thinking, Mary became a pass-through or transition being for the entrance of the one called Jesus into this world. That even is called an incarnation, a word not found in the scriptures.
Next, we have the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. in which at the end of the Conference the ministers presented under pressure from the Roman Emperor Constantine's rule that Jesus and God constituted the one God and so developed a Binitarianism belief. Classically, binitarianism is understood as a form of monotheism; that is, that God is absolutely one being; and yet with binitarianism there is a "twoness" in God, which means one God family. After more church councils we come to 381 A.D, where a change takes place and the holy spirit is added to God and Jesus to form a Triune God, 3 in 1 in essence whatever that means.
This belief in a Triune God and the God/man Jesus is now the recognized position of almost all of the churches in Christendom. Amazing, that not one of the creeds that were developed cited any scriptures to prove the creeds were based upon the word of God. Men took it upon themselves to define who God was and who His uniquely begotten son Jesus was, and thus became idol worshippers, worshipping a false triune god and a false Jesus, or as Paul says another Jesus, who they claim to be 100% god and 100% /man.
Notice what Paul says about preaching another good news message – gospel message:
Galatians 1:6-9: I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that
called you into the grace of the Messiah unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and pervert the
gospel of the Messiah. [The message God gave to the lord Jesus to give to the world!]
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.
Notice the position of Christendom is the same as the attitude in the church at Corinth:
2 Corinthians 11:4: For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception]. Amplified Bible
Note: Acts 3:22-23: For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall Yehovah your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
If anyone refuses to hear and obey the words of Jesus, the prophet that God raised up like unto Moses, they will be destroyed!
That is a very direct warning to those who reject the testimony of the lord Messiah Jesus. Those who are saved are like those mentioned in Revelation 12:10-11: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren [Satan] is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. The apostle John was exiled to Patmos for keeping the testimony of Jesus the Messiah: Revelation 1:9: I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus the Messiah.
Notice what Jesus says in John 17:1-3: These words spake Jesus, and
lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that your Son also may glorify you: As you have given him power
over all flesh, that he should give eternal life, to as many as you have
given him. And this is life eternal that they might know you the only true
God, and Jesus the Messiah, whom you have sent.
Now see what John says in John 4:1-3: Beloved, believe Not every
spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: Because many false
prophets - teachers are gone out into the world. Hereby you know the Spirit
of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus the Messiah has come in
flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus the Messiah
has come in flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist.
The Greek says “Jesus came in flesh” which means he came into this world as a 100% human being! Anyone who does not make that confession is one who is coming in the spirit of an antichrist!
Notice that this truth is so important that John repeats it:
2 John 1:7: For many deceivers are entered into the world, who do not confess that Jesus the Messiah has come in flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
This shows that Christendom is in today is that of an antichrist!
Christendom today worships a false triune god and a false god/man named Jesus, that is not the Jesus of the scriptures.
Again hear the word of Yehovah: Jeremiah 2:21-22: Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then are you turned into the degenerate plant, of a strange vine unto me? For though you wash with nitre, and take you much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, says Yehovah Elohim – God.
Indeed, it is time for Christendom to repent of following after the traditions of men and come to know the only true God Yehovah, and his uniquely begotten son Jesus.
Notice The words written in Matthew 7:13-27:
Enter you in at the strait gate: [Why?]
Because wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be who go through it: [All those who refuse to obey the words Yehovah gave to His son Jesus to give to the world]
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. [those who find it are those who hears the words of Jesus and live them out in their liver]
Beware of false prophets - teachers, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?
Notice the fruits of Christendom down through the ages: The history of
Christendom is filled with violence against people who did not believe as they
did. Those who refused to follow the traditions of men and become idol
worshippers of a triune god and a false messiah. This history is a record of people who believed and followed the words of
the Messiah Jesus, whose blood cries out from the
ground to Yehovah.
Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; [Those who walk in the spirit and follow and obey the words of the Messiah Jesus.
But a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. [The evil fruit of Christendom is the teaching of a triune god and another Jesus that cannot be found in the scriptures]
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, [indeed a man/woman who walks in the spirit obey the words of Jesus will not bring forth evil fruit]
Neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit? Every tree that does not bring
forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. [this will be the end
result of all those who cling to what Christendom teaches say you have to
believe in the doctrine of the Trinity in order to be saved, which is a Satanic
lie!]
Wherefore
by their fruits, you shall know them. [Indeed when one researches the
history of Christendom it becomes obvious that they did not follow the
creed of Jesus outlined in Mark 12:28-34. They did not love
and obey God with all their heart and did not love their neighbors as
themselves regardless of what they believed or did to them]
Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter Into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father who is in heaven. [A saying of Jesus all men should heed!]
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out demons? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. [the iniquity of Christendom is the teaching people to worship a triune god that is not mentioned in the scriptures and to follow a false Messiah that Paul refers to as “another Jesus” and he says those who follow “another Jesus” are under a curse! - Galatians 1:8-9]
Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
That is the rock I want to stand on, the one that says Jesus is the son of God, the Messiah – Matthew 16:16-18: And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say unto you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock [that he is the son of God, the Messiah] I will build my called-out Assembly; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and Does them not, shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [Indeed, many in Christendom will fall away when they realize that they have not been raptured and have to live through the coming great tribulation coming soon to this world. Unless they repent of their false belief in a triune god and a false Messiah their names will not be found in the book of Life when they are resurrected to appear before the lord Messiah when he sits on the White Throne Judgment seat – Revelation 20:1]
May all those who read these words pray that Yehovah will guide them into a deep understanding of who He is and who His uniquely begotten son Jesus is, and seek His help to enable them by His Spirit to live according to His will; totally committed to walking in covenant faith before Him. Amen!
