Do you consider yourself a Christian?

Do you know exactly what you believe and why you believe it?

It is a good starting point on the road to recovery
from the idolatry of the traditions of men
IF you can honestly determine the answers.

It is really amazing when you inquire of people's beliefs
to discover the different concepts they harbor in their minds.

For instance, some people believe angels have wings and can fly?

Can they document that from God's Word?
No,
they have just seen a lot of artists' concepts.

Some people even think that heaven consists of floating around on clouds
while playing harps?

Some people actually believe Eve ate an apple
even though the word apple is not in the book of Genesis.

Some people even think that they won't be here during the reign of Antichrist.

Where did they get that silly unscriptural idea?

Some preacher probably,
who keeps promising his congregation a quick way out
of the events of Revelation which he cannot explain
because he himself is Biblically illiterate.

And obviously the people who listen to him haven't read 2 Thes. chapter 2
which clearly explains that Christians will NOT gather back to Jesus Christ
until the son of perdition, Satan who comes posing as the Messiah,
i.e. the Antichrist, sits in the temple and claims to be God, i.e. Jesus.

Instead, the people trust their preachers
who trust the vision of a mentally ill woman
who in the year 1830 dreamed up what has now
become known as the Rapture theory.
Church history documents it!
Her name was Margaret McDonald from Glasgow, Scotland.

So now let's see... here is the choice... hmmm...
believe God's Word or believe a mentally sick woman?

Would you believe that the majority of professing Christianity
believes the sick woman?

Oh yes! Do you think Jesus was lying
when He said that in the last days that the majority
would be deceived by ministers representing Him (Mk. 13 & Mat. 24)?

Let's repeat the first question:
Do you consider yourself a Christian?

Then the following questions from the Lord GOD are for you.
You will have to answer to Him, not me!

The only way you can know the answer to the second question
is to check out what you believe with what the Word of God says.

He wants to know whether or not you have done so!
Are you polluted or not?
Do you know?

These are not opinion questions, by the way.

Furthermore, the questions aren't about
whether or not your parents are good people or sincere or loving.

Of course people don't believe they are wrong
and parents don't naturally try to deceive their children.

But generation after generation has followed the majority
in going to church and in believing the traditions handed down.

Some people think the Bible says there were three wise men at the manger.
The Bible does not say how many wise men
there were but it does say they entered the house of Joseph and Mary in Nazareth.

You see, the wise men were never at the manger.

Have you EVER checked any of this stuff out?

If not, do you really expect God
to answer your prayers
and let you "enquire" of Him
when you believe a bunch of "Bull" and wallow in the pews
where the bulls graze and recycle their cud.

These elders who came from Israel did!

That is the whole point of this 20th chapter of Ezekiel.

God told Ezekiel to tell them THEY STINK!

Knowing that, the rest of this chapter really doesn't require much commentary.

Is it "Bull" or not?

You BETTER FIND OUT!

Did you know that only two of the seven churches
in Revelation chapters two and three were found to be OK by Jesus Christ?

The rest have Big Problems.
