Corruption In The Church!
Part
3
False teaching:
1. Rapture is before the Great
Tribulation; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 (52) “In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will
be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed.” Revelation 11:14-19 (14-15)
“The second woe is past! Behold! The third woe is coming quickly! Then the
seventh angel sounded and there were loud voices in Heaven saying, ‘The
kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our LORD and His CHRIST and
He shall Reign Forever and Ever!’”
2. Escapism;1 Corinthians 10:13
“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but GOD is
faithful Who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to
bear it.” This sounds like an escape from temptation, that is not what JESUS
and the apostles teach about temptation
(James 1:2-4, 12-18; 1 Peter 2:18-25, 3:13-17, 4:12-19) There are Believers
that do not want to be tempted, but temptation is part of being alive, JESUS
was tempted (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13; Hebrews 4:14-16). If we
escape a temptation rather than overcome it we will face that temptation again
(Matthew 10:21-22, 24:13; Mark 13:13; 1 John 2:13-14; Revelation 12:11). JESUS
said to every Church, “To him who overcomes I will…” (Revelation 2 and 3).
Escapism; Matthew 24:22 “And
unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s
(chosen ones) sake those days will be shortened.” (Isaiah 65:8-9; Mark
13:19-20; Luke 21:34-36) The Rapture is taught as an escape for Believers from
the Great Tribulation, but tribulation is in our calling (Matthew 5:10-12,
24:21). The Rapture comes at the last Trumpet (2 Thessalonians 1)
3. Wealth for all (prosperity
doctrine or the good life doctrine); Reciprocity is a real thing, you cannot
out give GOD is a true statement, but the only people getting rich from
teaching that “If you give, GOD will Bless it (double it), give it back to you
100 fold”, are the ones preaching and teaching it. GOD does not make everyone rich (wealthy), in
fact most Believers never get rich or wealthy enough to retire young and live
the good life. Why? Because GOD does not call us to live the good life, He Calls
us to live the Obedient Life. GOD does give wealth to those who He trusts to do
the Work of The Kingdom in the earth, giving them specific responsibilities.
There are Believers who gain wealth on their own and GOD will use and Bless
them if they use it for His Kingdom Work. JESUS spoke Blessings on the poor and
judgment on the rich (Matthew 6:1-4, 19-24, 31-34, 7:7-12, 19:16-30, 20:1-16;
Luke 19:11-27 it was up to the servants to increase their masters investment in
themselves; John 12:1-8)
Not believing JESUS is born of a
virgin: If you do not believe that JESUS was Born of a virgin, then you do not
believe that He is The Son of GOD, JESUS was Born of GOD not of man (Isaiah
7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1-18).
Not believing JESUS rose from the
dead: Romans 10:8-10 says, “If you Confess with your mouth that JESUS is the
Son of GOD and Believe in your heart that GOD Raised Him from the dead, you
will be Saved.” If you deny that JESUS rose from the dead than you have no
basis to Believe that He Saved you from your sin! (Matthew 28:1-15; Mark
16:1-13; Luke 24:1-43; John 20:1-21:19; Romans 6:1-6, 8:10-11; 1 Corinthians
15:1-8; Ephesians 2:4-10)
Promoting abortion: JEHOVAH GOD is
the creator of Life; He created Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed
into Him Life. Then He took from Adam’s essence and created Eve, then He joined
them together and told them to populate the earth and take care of it. (Genesis
1-2) GOD commanded us not to murder (Exodus 20:13 the 6th
Commandment) Exodus 21:22-23 is about a pregnant woman and her child. If an
accidental death requires the man’s life how much more a purposeful murder by
abortion?
Promoting gay marriage: JEHOVAH
GOD is the creator of Life; He created Adam from the dust of the earth and
breathed into Him Life. Then He took from Adam’s essence and created Eve, then
He joined them together in marriage and told them to populate the earth and
take care of it (Genesis 2). GOD condemns homosexuality (Leviticus 20:13;
Romans 1:18-[26-27]-32; 1 Corinthians 6:911). In Genesis 19 we have the story
of Lot in Sodom (:4-5, 8, 13-14). So GOD instituted marriage between one man
and one woman and condemned homosexuality!
Promoting Islam or any other
religion over Israel: Exodus 20:3-6 “You shall have no other gods before Me!”
Self-explanatory! Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. all promote a different god
than JEHOVAH GOD.
Promoting Socialism over Biblical
teaching: Socialism is an atheistic form of government, it rejects and
persecutes Christianity, Judaism, Islam and every other form of religion!
Socialism and its big brother Communism give no freedoms to anyone except the
ruling class themselves. Socialism, Communism and Fascism all are anti-christ
governments.
Study Romans 12 and 13 which cover
most of these things!
