They
place most of their faith in a book
Most of today's Jesus
religions base faith, not on reason or
a personal experience with God, but on a book! A book
that has been handed down generation after generation, but
no one knows who wrote it or where it came from.
In the Book of Acts, Paul was teaching the Gentiles but Peter
was against this because it was not
written in the Torah. Christians today will not accept
anything new from God unless they can find it in the Bible.
In other words, they do what Peter did: They
put more faith in a book than in revelation. This
worship of a book is called bibliolatry.
When Jesus wanted to insult someone, he called them lawyers.
Most of today's Christians treat the bible as a law book
and, like lawyers, they split hairs and twist and warp the
words to mean what they choose.
Do you believe the Bible is greater than God? ?
They seem to believe that God makes mistakes
According to the basic teachings of the Jesus Sect, God
committed a number of mistakes at creation:
God's first mistake?
He thought he had made man perfect (in God's image and
likeness) but man was not perfect. He did not perfect
choices.
God told Adam not to eat the fruit,
but Adam disobeyed God and ate it anyway. A perfect being
would not have done this.
God's second mistake
Rather than simply erase Adam's sin, he caused it to be
passed on from generation to generation - to innocent
people who had nothing to do with Adam's decision.
God's third mistake
God came up with a long, complicated plan in which he would
get his only begotten son killed and this would somehow atone for
all the sins the world would erver commit.
God's fourth mistake
He did not enact this plan immediately, but waited for
over 4000 years. During which time millions of
souls died in sin, a problem for which th Jesus Sect can
offer no solution.

They say that Jesus is
God -
his own
father
The Jesus Sect, in its Trinity Doctrine, says that Jesus is
actually God.
In the Fourth Century they invented a complex and
chaotic doctrine to explain how Jesus could be both the son
of God and God himself. They teach that Mary was a child of
God and that God begot himself, Jesus, through her
(the Bible actually say that Jesus was the son of the Holy
Ghost.
At
the Jordan River, after he is baptized by John, Jesus (God)
sees the Holy Spirit of God descending from the sky and a
voice from heaven (God) says, "This is my beloved son in
whom I am well pleased."
This
is a chaotic doctrine and, in the Bible, Jesus disagrees
with it.
"As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt
before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to
inherit eternal life?"" Jesus said to him, "Why do you call
me good? No one is good but God alone."
(Mark 10:17-18)
They believe that Jesus has to return again
Surprisingly this doctrine was not always a part of
Christianity. Originally many Christians believed that Jesus
only channeled Christ, that Christ spoke through him. Jesus
referred to Christ as his Father, or his Father in Heaven.
The early Christians believed that when one reached a high
level of faith, Christ would make his presence known to them
in the same way. To make ones presence known was aknown asparousiaa (παρουσία),
the "appearance and subsequent presencee" This
word was stretched to mean "a coming"..
Among the early
Christians a group arose that believed in the Pagan
Greek teachings that God begat a child with a mortal and
that this child was the Christ. Through ignorance or
deliberate error, the expression "Christ making his presence
known" was interpreted to mean the second "coming of
Christ.""
For centuries the Jesus Sect has been awaiting this "Second
Coming" of Jesus, confusing it with the parousia of Christ.
And for over 1000 years, various teachers have claimed
annually that he was coming THAT year! And every single time
they have been wrong. Because the coming of Christ (the
parousia) is a spiritual event that can happen to each
individual at any time - not a rapture, the whole world (at
least the true believers) being caught up into the sky.
They have confused paradise with heaven
The Jesus Sect, in its teachings, says that some people
go to heaven when they die. They have confused Paradise with
heaven. If Paradise and Heaven were the same thing,
that would mean that Adam and Eve dwelt in Heaven! They did
not. The Bible teaches that when we die we go to Hell,.
which is divided into two parts : Paradise and Prison. No
where in the Bible does it say that anyone besides Christ
ever went to Heaven..
They believe that heaven is up in the sky somewhere
The Jesus relgions believe that God dwells somewhere up in the
sky. If this is so, why haven't we ever seen it in our
telescopes? This error is based on their failure to
understand Greek and Hebreww - the languages tin which he Bible was
written in..
The Hebrew wordd "shamayimm"
and the Greek word "uranos" are translated "heaven" in the
King James Bible. But ehese words heach asvethree
different meanings: (1)the place where birds and clouds fly,
(2)the starry heavens, and (3) the place where God
dwells (St Paul called this the third heaven)
Do you believe that God dwells up in the sky, or up in a
high mountain??
