The Church. The Greatest Deceit in the History of the World

The Church. The Greatest Deceit in the History of the World
Most people think that the Church is the same as the Assembly of
God, the Body of Christ, but it is not the same. This word "church"
is an improper word for those who believe in Jesus and love him.
The Greek word "ekklesia" that is translated to "church", means
"called out", and those who are "called out" are only those who
believe in Jesus and have received him as their personal Saviour.
Please, read John 15:18-21.
The word "church" occurs not at all in the Bible. "The Assembly of
God" is a better name of those who love Jesus. Nowhere in the
Swedish Bible can we find the word "church" (kyrka). I never use
the word "church" or "kyrka" when I mean those who believe in
Jesus. In the year 1981 we got a new Swedish translation of the
New Testament where they have used the word "kyrka". This
translation is a falsification with many grave perversions of the
bible word. I would never give such a bible to anyone.
In everyday speech we use many words which we don't find in
the Bible. We may use the words that we need to use. When we
speak about revival, we use the word revival, and when we speak
about the church we use the word church. Nevertheless, we cannot
use the word church when we speak about the body of Christ.
Some Christians have sent E-mails and meant that I ought not to
use the Assembly of God as a name of the Body of Christ, because
many Pentecostal Churches use this name. Nevertheless, when I
use the Assembly of God as a name of the Body of Christ, then I
do right. But those who have taken this name and use it on their
churches, they do wrong. The Assembly of God is the Body of
Christ, and no church. I do not avoid this name only because many
use it on their churches. The church members think the churches are
assemblies of God. They may read 1 Cor. 12:13, Eph. 1:22-23, 5:23,
Col. 1:18, and consider, is this the same as the Body of Christ?
Perhaps it is only a church?! This may be a challenge against the
whole religious harlot-élite.
What is a church? It is an organized institution. And what is the
Assembly of God, those who have received Jesus as their Saviour?
It is a LIVING ORGANISM. Please, read 1 Cor. 12:11-31. It is an
essential difference between an organization and an organism, and
we must make a clear distinction between the Assembly of God and
the churches of this world.
In so called Christian books and newspapers we can read about
Catholics and about the pope as if they are Christians. Pentecostalists
also can have meetings with Catholics and have fellowship with them.
This witness about very great ignorance about the Catholicism and
what the Catholic Church in the reality is.
The pope is not more Christian than Hitler and Stalin were. The
pope's simulating to being a Christian makes him very treacherous.
The Church and the doctrine he represents are the worst deceit in
the history of the World.
Regarding the churches it is a great lack of knowledge among the
Christians. When representatives for the Church made the same
false pronouncement about the Christian's situation in the Soviet
Union as the communist leaders, then many Christians were
astonished and thought it was strange. Nevertheless, if we know
what the Church is, then we are not at all astonished when a priest
or a bishop stands up and lie. That is what we can expect from the
Church. This is the Church!
I read in a sheet of paper that representatives of the Church in
Russia were forced to lie, and they did not dare stand for the truth.
But the real representatives of the Church are not compelled to lie.
They lie of their own free will, and like willingly as the communist
leaders in the Soviet Union did. That was not only so that the
Church did not dare tell the truth. Instead it is so that the Church
has no interest to stand for the truth!
A usual argument in defence of the churches is, there are many
Christians within the churches who really want to live for God,
and therefore we cannot condemn the churches. We could use the
same argument concerning the Communism in the former Soviet
Union. There were many real Christians in the prisons in the Soviet
Union, and therefore we cannot condemn the Communist dictatorship.
There are many Christians within the churches but it cannot justify
the churches because the Christians are bound to the churches by a
false doctrine. If they knew what the churches are, then they would
flee from there.
Within the Catholic Church the confession is an effective method
to hold control over the people. In that way the Church can have
knowledge of people's private life and can exploit them. The
Catholics think, if they hide something for their confessor, then
they cannot get forgiveness and come to lose their soul. This is
only fright propaganda and lies from the Church. The Church has
no authority to forgive sin, and the priests have no freedom to say
what they think. The pope and the Church determine what they
permit the priests to say and they have to only obey.
We do not need to confess before any man to get forgiveness for
our sins. We may pray direct to God in the name of Jesus Christ.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:7-10,
2:1-2. We shall not tolerate any other confessor than God himself
and Jesus Christ. "For there is one God and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom
for all, to be testified in due time." 1 Tim. 2:5-6.
If you want to clear up your sake before God and receive forgiveness
for your sins, then it is a matter between you and God, and nothing
for the Church to interfere. The Church has nothing to do with that.
Remember this! For the churches, it is no grace before God. They
have no share in Jesus' expiatory death on the cross, and they can
never receive forgiveness. When Jesus died on the cross he opened
a way to God for men, but not for Satan's churches! The churches'
falseness and hypocrisy must get its judgement.
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the
blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having a high
priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in
full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."
Hebr. 10:19-22.
The salvation is a gift that God gives us of grace, without our merit.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not by works, lest any man should boast."
Eph. 2:8-9. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
