Introduction This is a book about false teaching, especially those which are currently
being taught in three branches of Christianity. We will look without bias,
into error where it is to be found, that has crept into the Judeo-Christian
churches of America, and into the Roman Catholic churches. These two branches
of Christianity, make up the majority of those who go by the name of Christian.
We will also look into an ever growing minority of White Christians in
America, and throughout the Free World, who are known as Identity Christians.
These are people for the most part who have come out of the Judeo-Christian
and Catholic world, as they came to the realization that they were physical
descendants of Abraham, entitled to the blessings which go with this, and
also the added responsibilities to God and man. Unfortunately, as often
happens, falsehoods have crept in here too, as the enemy seeks to sow seed
of dissension and doubt in the hearts of our people.
Immediately, when the subject of falsehoods and exposing those who teach
them comes up, we are asked the question by zealous Christians: "Is it
right to judge? Is it right to expose false teachers and doctrines and
to name names in the process?"
As an introduction to this book, I want to try and answer this question,
at least in part by using a very revealing article, written by Ralph C.
Griffin, which appeared in the Summer Issue 1994, of his newsletter, THE
SWORD AND THE TRUMPET, P.O. Box 870, Chandler, TX 75758.
While I do not agree 100% with the doctrinal beliefs of Brother Griffin,
the purpose of this Introduction is not to criticize him, but to benefit
from his wisdom.
In Hebrews 5:14, we read: "But strong meat belongeth to them that are
of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised
to discern both good and evil".
Those who are unwilling or incapable of discerning or judging between
good and evil are in this manner revealing either their disobedience or
their spiritual immaturity.
Yes, it is biblically MANDATED TO JUDGE, TO EXPOSE FALSE TEACHERS AND
DOCTRINES, AND TO NAME THE NAMES of those who teach error and thus perhaps
irreparably harm the Body of Christ. A thorough and exhaustive proof of
the above conclusion would fill an entire book, but I'll only briefly establish
the scriptural basis for this truth.
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and
vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness". (2 Timothy
2:15,16)
Wolves in disguise have entered the flock and are deceiving many! False
teachers are free to spread their poisonous doctrines today because there
is a "conspiracy of silence among Bible believers!" For this reason, it
is important for us to closely examine their teachings. While it goes beyond
our ability and authority to ascertain the motives of their hearts, it
is well within our ability and authority to evaluate their doctrines. (This
is the purpose of this book - Author Mohr).
This examination is not for the purpose of tearing down or simply to
be negative, but only to help those who wish to be biblical.
Discerning Bible readers are aware of Jesus' many warnings about the
false messiahs and false teachers that would abound in the "last of these
last days". Christ said that these deceivers and their deception would
be one of the first and clearest signs of the closing day of this Age.
He warned His disciples 13 times in the Gospels to be alert to such deceivers.
Jesus called them "hypocrites"; "blind guides"; "whited sepulchers"; "serpents";
and "ye generation of vipers". (Matthew 23:23-34)
When dealing with false teachers, false prophets and those involved
in God's house for the purpose of dishonest gain; i.e., money changers",
Christ's words were sharp and His actions plain. In John 2:16, we listen
as He said to them: "Take these things hence; make not my Father's house
an house of merchandise". Then He drove the money changers out of the temple
with a whip He had made out of rope.
Yet today, Christians are told that we are to fellowship with men whose
doctrines are as un-scriptural as those of the Pharisees.
We are not supposed to rebuke anyone for their compromise, yet it is
true that the anti-Christ himself and his false prophet, will be worshiped
by all the world as Christ. This means that his followers will be so-called
Christians. Should true Christians not be warned of this?
In exposing un-scriptural teaching by noted Christian teachers, authors
and other leaders in the church, it is important to remember that we are
not questioning their commitment to the Lord. However, what must consistently
be scrutinized and confronted is teaching or living is that which is scripturally
in error, no matter who may be presenting it.
The Apostle Paul corrected the Apostle Peter publicly and named those
who were leading others astray, and continually combated errors in his
epistles. Paul had to oppose Peter's actions as being without scriptural
support on one occasion (see Galatians 2:11-17). Suppose Paul had refused
to enter into controversy with his friend Peter. With leaders piloting
the Christian boat in the wrong direction, the infant church might have
been shipwrecked on the rocks of Jewish legalism. (There is some of this
same danger inherent in Identity -Author Mohr). Peter's ministry was not
nullified as a result of being corrected. It did serve as a reminder that
everything taught must be in accordance with sound doctrine as stated in
God's Word.
Peter rebuked Ananias and Sapphira by name, in Acts 5 and as a result,
the early church was in fused with a wholesome fear of God and His holiness.
(This is something most churches lack in this age - Author Mohr).
Examples found throughout the scriptures demonstrate the value of reproof
for the conviction of sin and erroneous teaching which might have otherwise
gone unheeded, leading to destruction of some. Paul's naming of Peter and
Barnabas, Alexander the coppersmith, Hymaneus and Philetus, and John's
exposure of Diotrephes are just a few biblical examples of public correction.
There are some who assert that such matters should be dealt with privately
in accordance with Matthew 18:15-20. But this passage deals with matters
of personal offense - issues between individuals, not false teaching, and
doctrinal problems which subvert the gospel and are promoted publicly.
Dave Hunt, in his THE BEREAN CALL of Jan. 1994, writes: "All scripture
is profitable for correction. Designed for the benefit of believers, this
teaching of God's Word, is very much out of favor among today's church
leaders. It's astounding that page after page of the Bible involves some
form of correction, yet any such application among Christians is generally
avoided or received as emotionally harmful, 'negative or un-loving' is
the Word. On the contrary, correction is biblical and necessary".
The Apostle Paul, writing in Colossians 2:8 says: "Beware lest any man
spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments (GK - stoickeron -4747 meaning: fundamentals) of the
world (order) and not after Christ".
In 1 Timothy 6:20-22, speaking to the young evangelist, he said: "O
Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoid profane (GK -
bibelos - 952 meaning: "heathenism; by implication Jewish notions) and
vain babblings (GK - henophonia - 2757 meaning: "empty sounding, fruitless
discussions), and opposition of science falsely so called (Note that true
science is never in conflict with the Word - Author Mohr) which some professing
have erred concerning the faith".
When I have previously addressed this issue, there is usually an immediate
suspicion that I am attacking a person rather than questioning ideas and
practices from a biblical standpoint.
Romans 16:17-18, is often quoted to condemn anyone who might question
a brother's teaching. They quote: "Now I beseech you brethren, mark them
that cause divisions and offenses... and avoid them". They ignore the middle
part of this passage which says "contrary to the doctrines which ye have
learned". This passage is speaking about those who are teaching un-biblical
doctrines, or as Paul says, "another gospel".
Divisions in the church are created by teachings that are contrary to
sound doctrine. False teachers serve only themselves, not Christ, and deceive
the naive with smooth talk. Romans 16:18 says: "For they (false teachers)
that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (GK
-koilea - 2836 meaning: "heart") and by good words, and fair speeches,
deceive the hearts of the simple". (GK - akakos - 172 meaning: "innocent;
unsuspecting".)
The Bible tells us not to fellowship with them, but also tells us not
to ignore their destructive heresies - because that would be compromise.
The Word teaches that "sound doctrine" cannot be perpetuated through compromise,
in 1st Corinthians 15:33, Paul says: "Be not deceived, evil
communications corrupt good manners". Compromise cannot be avoided without
separation (see 2 John 10,11) - "If there come any unto you, and bring
not this doctrine, (see vs. 7) receive him not into your house, neither
bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed, (helps him in any
way), becomes partaker in his evil deeds".
A biblical fundamentalist had been described as one who "adheres with
strong convictions to the fundamentals of the Christian faith, and who
insists on separation from worldliness, apostasy, and disobedient brethren".
While separation is not one of the essentials of the Christian faith, it
is a necessary pre-requisite for being a fundamentalist and must be seen
as a defining element in fundamentalism. (This word has been terribly overworked,
and incorrect meanings have been given to it in recent years. I am a fundamentalist
in its true meaning, and am proud of it - Author Mohr).
In the foreword of the book PSYCHOHERESY by Martin and Deidre Bobgan,
Dave Hunter commented: "...many church leaders, though well intentioned
are feeding... deadly poisons to the Body of Christ... Christian leaders
should be held accountable for what they say in books, magazines and in
the pulpit, or on radio or TV. Certainly no one can object if what he has
stated publicly is quoted or questioned publicly. If a church leader is
granted immunity from challenge or correction, then the Reformation was
in vain and we are back under the un-scriptural authoritarianism of a Protestant
popery..."
"If (a particular teaching is) valid and biblical, then its proponents
have nothing to fear from a factual and scriptural analysis of its tenets;
and if it precedents are in fact false and dangerous, then lovers of God
and truth will be grateful when error is exposed".
(I have often been questioned about writings of leaders in some church
group, and am compelled to say: "Much of what they say is true, but like
rat poison, which is made up of 97% cornmeal, it is the 3% [poison; untruth]
that kills - Author Mohr).
If we then, as well as others who, by the Word, expose doctrinal error
and false teaching are criticized by the mass of professing Christians
they and their ministers compromise the truth to gain acceptance, then
we should rest in the knowledge that we are looking for the approval of
God, not men. To do otherwise is to befriend the enemy and cause additional
harm to the Body of Christ.
(For this reason, I do not expect many in the Judeo-Christian and Catholic
churches to accept the truths found in this book. It would be well for
you to remember Moses' words to Israel in Exodus 23:2- "Thou shalt not
follow a multitude to do evil". Just because the majority say something
is right, does not make it so. I do believe it is reasonable to ask, not
that you agree with what I write, but to check out the facts against the
Word and when you find that I have been telling you the truth, have the
courage to accept it. - (Challenge made by author Mohr).
We are commanded to test every teaching on the basis of the scripture
2 Timothy 3:16,17 tells us: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
(GK -exartizo - 1822 meaning: "to equip fully as a teacher") unto all good
works".
Remember how Paul commended the Bereans in Acts 17:11 - "These were
more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with
all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures (the Old Testament was
all they had) daily, whether these things (which Paul and Silas were teaching)
were so".
(Not many of our so-called Christian people do this. When they read
their Bibles, which is seldom, and come to a part they do not understand,
instead of searching the Bible for the answer, nine times out of ten, they
go to their pastors for the answer. And nine times out of ten, he will
tell them what he was taught in the seminary, which does not necessarily
mean it is what the Word teaches. By this means, heresies creep into church
teachings - Author Mohr).
We are enjoined to reject any teaching from any teacher (No matter how
many religious degrees he may have behind his name - Author Mohr), that
is not based squarely on specific passages from God's Word.
In 2 Timothy 4:2,3 we read: "I (Paul) charge thee (Timothy) therefore
before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the
dead at His appearing and His kingdom. Preach the Word; be instant (GK
- ephistemi - 2186 meaning: "to stand upon; to be at hand") in season,
out of season. (The first SEASON comes from the (GK word eukarios -2121
and means: "well timed; opportune; in time of need". The second SEASON
comes from akarios - 171 and means: "inopportunely; to fail of a proper
occasion") REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT with all long suffering and doctrine.
For the time will come when men will not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts (longing for material, fleshly things) shall they heap
(GK - episioreuo - meaning: "to accumulate further; seek additions; heap")
to themselves teachers having itching (GK - knetho - 2833 meaning by implication
"to tickle") ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure affliction,
do the work of an evangelist, make full proof (GK - pleurophoneo - 4135
meaning: "to be completely if assured or convinced") of thy ministry".
Religious tolerance - or being "open minded" is sermonized a lot in
the church today. Larry Thomas, in his THE INKHORN, Dec. 1992, wrote: "To
the world, religious tolerance means granting another person, faith or
persuasion the same rights and privileges we demand for ourselves. But
in the church world, tolerance has become compromise. To be non controversial
and to demonstrate 'Christian love', many in the church have thrown out
all doctrinal standards.
"The church has grown soft. It has relaxed its position on a number
of social and spiritual issues, opening the door for un-scriptural practices
and teachings. The easing of standards has enabled the church to broaden
its appeal to the world and show forth a spirit of unity within the body.
The problem is that many included in this ecumenical hodge-podge are not
actually part of the Body. They may have a Christian sounding philosophy,
but they are a far cry from being Bible-based, 'born again' (born from
above) believers.
"One of the most visible efforts to increase appeal and put on a display
of unity, is the total avoidance of debate, disagreement, or division -
no matter how wrong or heretical the teaching. To avoid these things we
compromise with wrong teaching is to sacrifice our biblical convictions.
"(This puts us in the unenviable position of being" par takers in their
evil deeds", 2 John 11 - Author Mohr).
"As a result, factions in the church have become fat and fattening.
They have gorged themselves on the meat of man's wisdom, while swilling
the new wine of heresy. To point out these wrongs is to be controversial
and run the risk of being "'called 'un-loving' or 'unchristian"'.
The book of Jude is certainly controversial. The entire book sounds
an alarm to believers about false teachers and errors in the church. It
is a rebuke to false teachers, a warning to believers, and a battle-cry
against error. Jude is much too "negative" for today's church. But remember,
the Holy Spirit authored this book, not Jude! Jude calls on the church
to "earnestly contend for the faith". The Greek word for CONTEND, "implies
to put forth an effort equal or greater than the opposition". To compromise
with wrong in the name of tolerance is to dishonor God and make light of
His Word.
We are also commanded to SEPARATE ourselves from them. In 2 Corinthians
6:17, we read: "Wherefore, come ye out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
saith the Lord". This makes it plain that God's people are to come out
of apostasy and religious error! False teachers have broken down the barrier
between God's people and falsehood. There is too little preaching and teaching
on the doctrine of "separation". Until we get back to teaching the truth
about personal and ecclesiastical separation, we can expect the widespread
havoc and judgment of God, that we are experiencing today. (See Deut. 28).
How can we contend for the faith in a climate that will not tolerate
controversy, but instead promotes compromise with evil and evil men, in
order to avoid conflict or division?
Notice in John 3 how Jesus challenged Nicodemus, a Pharisee who approached
Jesus with his heart open to spiritual truth. Yet this same Jesus harshly
condemned other Pharisees to their faces. He was patient with those who
were willing to listen. He did not give in to the temptation to tell them
what they wanted to hear, but taught them the very Word of God.
Even in His superior wisdom, Jesus met much opposition, not only from
His enemies, the Pharisees, but from His own followers. In John 6:66, we
find that when Jesus began to teach the hard facts of the Kingdom: "From
that time many of His disciples (followers) went back, and walked no more
with Him".
(For all intents and purposes, many who go by the name of Christian
today, are not walking in His doctrine - Author Mohr).
But the Master was gentle with those who had been deceived, while He
sternly rebuked the rabbis who perverted God's word through false teaching,
and He did so publicly!
The most loving thing a Christian leader can do for the church, is to
warn believers against those who propagate false teachings and the most
loving thing they can do for the perpetrators of scriptural error, is to
speak forth in rebuke and hope and pray that they will repent.
In an article entitled WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE CHURCH? in WITNESS,
INC., NEWS, March 1993, Rick Varlinsky writes: "We must stand for truth
no matter what the cost, personal or professional" (Oh how many of our
TV evangelists need to listen to this advice and take it to heart - Author
Mohr). "This is not an option. The stand for truth is not to be relegated
to those engaged in ministry on a full-time basis. It is the task of all
believers, and we are all accountable... That is why we are given the armor
of God. That armor is meant for battle!"
(But the average Christian doesn't want to fight. He is like the hippies
of the 1960's whose motto was: "Make love, not war!" We need to remember
that a soldier does not put on armor to eat, or to sleep, or to hide in
some spiritual foxhole while the battle rages outside. Armor goes on before
the battle - Author Mohr).
The problem of doctrinal "wishy-washiness" is a cancer that is spreading
through the church. The alarm MUST be sounded: the troops MUST be rallied!
We MUST "fight the good fight of faith", with the same fervor that was
characteristic of the early church. Every believer is to be a "watchman"
warning lest we as the scriptures state (see Ezekiel 3:18; 33:6), find
that "their blood will I require at thy hand."
(We sing: "Faith of our fathers, living still. In spite of dungeon fire
and sword. How sweet would be their children's fate, if they like them,
could die for thee. Faith of our fathers, holy faith, we will be true to
Thee 'till death!" Yet I wonder how many Christians who sing this, really
mean it? - Author Mohr).
In 2 Chronicles 19:2, we find a scripture which is overlooked by our
modern day preachers. It says: "...shouldest thou help the ungodly, and
love them that hate the Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from before
the Lord". (God does not put up with disobedience on the part of His spiritual
leaders, for the LAW OF HARVEST is as much in operation for them, if not
more so, than the laity. This LAW which is as sure and abiding as the LAW
OF GRAVITY, says: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked"; for whatsoever
a man (woman) soweth, that shall they also reap". Galatians 6:7 - (Author
Mohr).
Our thanks to Tricia Tillin of the Mainstream Publication of BANNER
MINISTRIES, of England for the following eight comprehensive reasons about
how believers should respond to heresy:
(Please note that some of the contents of this article were paraphrased
from a tract by Pastor E. L. Bynum of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, 1911
34th St., Lubbock, TX 79452, and from other sources, including NEOEVANGELISM
TODAY, by Robert Lightner; "and from BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES, "The Myth of
the Third Wave", by Robert Dean). (End of article by Brother Griffith.)
I agree fully with what brother Griffith has written and it is in this
spirit that this book TO SEDUCE THE ELECT has been written. That it will
"step on some toes "and anger some in the Body of Christ, goes without
saying. But it is because I love you, that I show you what the scriptures
say about your errors. Note these are scriptural corrections, not personal.
One of the major problems in the modern church, Catholic, Protestant
and Identity alike, is that we have substituted a new cross for the old
one. In Amos 8:11, this heresy was prophesied: "Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land (to the Israel
nations). Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing
the words of the Lord. And they (Israel) shall wander from sea to sea,
and from the north even to the east, and they shall run to and fro to seek
the word of the Lord, and shall not find it". This has happened in many
of our modern day churches.
In Philippians 3:18, the Apostle Paul warns us: "For many walk, of whom
I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies
of the cross of Christ."
Unannounced and almost undetected, there has crept into modern church
circles in modern times, a new cross. It looks like the old cross, but
it's different.
From this new cross a philosophy of Christian life has risen, which
makes this book necessary. From this new philosophy has risen a new technique
of reaching men and women with the Gospel of Salvation. It employs pretty
much the same old language of evangelism, but its emphasis has been misplaced.
The old cross had no ties with the world and carried with it the sentence
imposed by the Law at Mt. Sinai. The modern church does not like this Law,
so they have done away with it and have invented a new cross which is not
opposed to the sinful condition of the human race; rather it has become
a friendly pal and, if understood correctly, the source of oceans of good,
clean fun and innocent enjoyment. The new cross lets Adam live without
interference. His life's motivation is unchanged; he lives for his own
pleasure, only now he takes delight in living like the world. His accent
is on enjoyment, though his fun is now on a higher plane morally, if not
intellectually.
The new cross does not demand a renouncement of the old life before
the new life can be received. The evangelist seeks to key into Christianity,
by showing that Christianity makes no unpleasant demands; rather, it offers
the same thing as the world, only on a higher level. Whatever the sin-mad
world happens to be clamoring for at the moment is cleverly shown to be
the very thing the Gospel offers, the religious version, promising to be
more spiritual fulfilling than the worldly version.
The new cross does not slay the sinner; it merely redirects him. It
gears him up to a cleaner, jollier way of living and saves his self-respect.
To the self-assertive it says "Come and assert yourself in Christ." To
the egotist it says, "Come and do your boasting in the Lord!" To the thrill
seeker it says, "Come and enjoy the thrill of Christian fellowship!" To
the fun seeker it says; "It's fun to be a Christian!"
Any Christian message can be slanted in the direction the current vogue
is moving, in order to make it acceptable to the public. (After all larger
church attendance, means more money in the "kitty").
The philosophy behind this kind of spiritual deception may be sincere,
but it's sincerity does not keep it from being false and fatal. It misses
completely the meaning of the cross.
The old cross is a symbol of death. It stands for an abrupt, violent
end of the human being. In Roman times, when a man was forced to carry
his cross, he said good-bye to his friends, for he knew he was never coming
back alive. The cross in those days never compromised, it modified nothing,
it spared nothing. Maybe this is why it is so detested by modern day Christians.
The old cross did not try and keep on good terms with its victim. It struck
cruelly and hard, and when it had finished its work, the man was no more
to be found.
The race of Adam is under the death sentence, no matter how some evangelists
try and prove differently. It does not carry the popular message of Oral
Roberts: "Something good is going to happen to you today! if In spite of
what the evangelists say, there is no commutation or escape from the death
penalty. God cannot approve of any of the fruits of sin, no matter how
sincere the sinner may be, or how beautiful they appear in the eyes of
men. God saves the individual by killing him on the cross, then raising
him in a newness of life.
Any evangelist, preacher or priest who draws friendly parallels between
the ways of God and the ways of man is false to Scriptural teaching and
cruel to the souls of his hearers. Faith in Christ does not parallel the
world, it intersects it! In coming to Christ we do not bring our old life
up to a higher plane; we leave it at the cross! The kernel of wheat must
first fall into the ground and die, before it can produce, so Jesus said
(John 12:24).
We who preach God's Word must not think of ourselves as public relations
agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must
not allow ourselves to become commissioners to make Christ acceptable to
big business, the press, sports, modern education, etc. We are not diplomats
but prophets. Our message is not that of compromise but of ultimatum.
God offers life, but not an improvement on the old life. The life God
offers is eternal life out of death. It stands on the far side of the cross.
Whoever wants to possess it must pass under the rod. He must repudiate
himself completely and agree with God's just sentence against him. "The
soul that sinneth; it shall die!"
What does this mean to the condemned man? The man seeking to find life
in Christ Jesus? It simply means that he must repent, and believe. He must
forsake his sins and then go on to forsake himself. He must cover nothing,
defend nothing, excuse nothing in his life. He must not seek to make terms
with God, but he must bow his head before the stroke of God's stem displeasure
and acknowledge himself worthy of death.
It is only by doing this that he can gaze with simple trust on the risen
Savior, and from Him receive life and rebirth and cleansing and power.
The same cross that ended the life of the Savior, now puts an end to the
repentant sinner. The same power that raised Christ from the grave, now
raises the sinner to a new life in Christ.
To those who object to this assessment as being narrow and a private
view of the truth, God has set His hallmark of approval on this message
from Paul's day to the present. Whether stated in these exact words or
not, this has been the content of any and all preaching that has ever had
impact and brought life and power to the Christian world for almost 2,000
years. The Reformers and the Revivalists put their emphasis on the old
cross and the mighty operations of the Holy Spirit gave witness to God's
approval.
Today we hear about massive world wide revivals, but there is very little
evidence of Christian power, as Christ's enemy continue to gain in strength
and our nation moves towards hell faster than at any time in our history.
Something must be drastically wrong with the church, no matter what branch
it may be.
Dare we, heirs of such a legacy of power, tamper with God's truth? Dare
we, with our stubby pencils, erase the lines of the blueprint of God, or
alter the pattern shown us at Calvary? God forbid! Me must preach the old
cross, in order to have the old time power! Which cross are you preaching?
The old, or the new?
(The foregoing summation is a paraphrase of an anonymous article which
was sent to me recently. It pretty well answers the question as to why
I am writing TO SEDUCE THE ELECT. I pray that all who read this book, will
take this into consideration when I tread on their religious toes. As my
father used to say to me when giving me a licking: "Son, this is for your
own good!")
In St. Matthew 24:24, we are told by Christ Himself that in the "closing
out days of this age": "there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall show great signs and wonders, inasmuch that if it were possible
(the word "IF" used here means: "maybe it is and maybe it isn't") they
shall deceive the very elect.
The word ELECT as used in the New Testament has only one meaning. It
comes from the Greek word El and means: "thou art, or be". It is used in
both Old and New Testaments in reference to "true Israel". In no place
does it refer to a people we now know as Jews, or to the "church". It is
used thirteen times in the New Testament, and two of these concerns the
"elect" being deceived. Twice it refers to the "re-gathering of true Israel,
and nine times is a general reference to the "elect of Israel", of whom
the Lord said in Amos 3:2 - "You only have I know" of all the families
of the earth...
In 1 Peter 1:1, we notice that Peter is speaking not to the Anti-Christ
Edomite Jews who have just crucified our Lord, but to the "strangers" (Greek
- PAREPIDEMOS [3927] who are "resident foreigners" in Pontus, Galatia,
Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, and who are (vs. 2) "elect according to
the foreknowledge of God the Father". They were not elect because of their
"bloodline" from Adam, which some today call ARYAN, but because they could
trace their ancestry back to Abraham, the "friend of God", whose family
had been called out from all others, to bring blessings to all the earth,
and who hast accepted His Kingship (see Gen. 12:1-3). These "elect" spoken
to by Peter, who scattered strangers from the ten Israelite tribes who
had gone into Assyrian captivity for their disobedience to God, and who
were at that time known as "Gentiles". But because they had been "sanctified
by the Spirit unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ,"
(in other words they had become "blood bought" members of Abraham's family,
who had been "born from above" ["born again"] as some say and who had been
"elected" ("set aside by God for a special purpose"). We find this purpose
explained in 1 Peter 2:9 - "But ye (saved Israelites) are a chosen generation
(Greek - GENOS meaning: offspring; stock"), a royal priesthood (Rev. 5:10),
an holy nation (Isaiah 61:12), a peculiar people; (GK - PERIOUSIOS, meaning:
"set aside for a special purpose") that ye should show forth the praises
of Him (Jesus) who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light".
He goes on in vs. 10 to state "who in time past were not a people," (since
they had been divorced by God and were known as GENTILES, heathen) "but
are now the children of God; which had not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy". (Most pastors in the Judeo-Christian churches, will say
this has reference to ALL "born from above" Christians, but it does not!
The context of these verses shows that it was speaking to Christian Israelites.)
Notice carefully that these "peculiar people", these "elect", were a
"holy nation, not the "church", and were different from all other people
on the face of the earth.
The purpose of these "called out one's" was not one of RACIAL SUPREMACY,
as some of our brethren in Christian Identity falsely assume, but of "racial
purity". These were to be special Ambassadors, if you will, from God to
a "lost and dying world", showing them how God wanted them to live and
fit into His purpose.
It is a known fact, that in these "last days" many "deceivers" have
crept into the Christian flock, destroying many Christian "sheepfolds".
It is my purpose in this book to discuss a few of the major deceptions
which have destroyed many fine Christian "flocks" and which is poisoning
Christianity both among Protestants and Roman Catholics.
I do not have time to go into such cults as Mormonism, Seventh Day Adventism,
and the Jehovah Witnesses, but will concentrate on the two major branches
of Christianity, the Roman Catholic faith and the Reformed Christian faith
which broke away from Rome during the Reformation, and is now generally
known as Protestantism. (Some branches of the Baptist church do not consider
themselves as Protestants, although they really are).
Since this message is directed primarily at those of you who are Christian
Israelites, (and many of you are physical children of Abraham's seedline
and do not know it) and who understand the importance of this, I must bring
to your attention, that there are some Protestant Christians who do not
believe that Roman Catholics are "saved", since they ask for forgiveness
of sins through the Virgin Mary, or a priest, rather than going direct
to Christ. While I am sure that some Roman Catholics who read this book
will not believe in the salvation of Protestants outside of the Church
of Rome. I will go into this in detail in Part III of this book.
I have never put a great deal of emphasis on Catholicism or Protestantism
within the Identity Movement, because I believe the Bible teaches that
if one accepts the "blood sacrifice" for sin, which was offered by our
Lord Jesus Christ, understand that He paid the penalty for our sins by
His death on the cross, and have repented of our sins and asked God for
forgiveness, then we are "saved", scripturally. I can repeat, regardless
of which church you belong to, the words of Charles Wesley: "I may not
see eye to eye with you on every thing; but if your heart is with my heart,
then here is my hand", and I am proud to say that I have many "saved" Catholics
among my friends.
In PARTS I and II, I will discuss some of the perversions which have
crept into the Protestant churches, which depart from the Scriptural teachings
of the Apostolic church. In Part III, I will discuss the Roman Catholic
faith.
This book is not going to be popular with many, for the simple reason
that it will expose false teachings, and tear down many idols which have
been erected in Christendom during the 2000 years it has been in existence.
Men never like when their "pet theories" are shown to be falsehoods. We
never like to believe we may have been fooled. I remember a simple story
told by my grandfather which illustrates this. Back in his time, almost
every county in America had a fair, where the farmers gathered to show
off their produce and livestock. Entertainment was provided by sideshows,
such as the "bearded lady" and the "calf with two heads". It seems at this
particular fair, one of the sideshows advertised: COME IN AND SEE THE HORSE
WITH HIS HEAD WHERE HIS TAIL OUGHT TO BE! Many a farmer plunked down his
hard earned dollar to see this freak, only to find an ordinary horse tied
by his tail to the manger. Some thought this was funny and some got mad,
but no one said a thing about it, for fear that people would think them
stupid for having been taken in by it. As a result, the fake show made
money all week long. This has happened over and over again in the Christian
religion.
That there is a "chosen people" in the
Bible is undeniable. That is if you believe the Bible! In the early pages
of the Book, we see where God exercised His Omnipotent (all powerful) will,
when He chose a man named Abraham, from all the families "on earth, to
be His "special, set-aside people". We read about this in Amos 3:2, where
God, speaking to "true Israel" said: "You only have I known of all the
families of the earth..."
Abraham was an Adamite (White man) of
direct lineage from Adam. God appeared to Abraham, when he was part of
a heathen culture in the heathen land of Chaldea and said to him in essence:
"Abraham, I want you to leave your home land, and your kin folks, including
your father's house, and go to a distant country that I will show you.
In that country I will make of you a great nation and a company of nations
which will bless all mankind. And I will bless those who bless you and
curse those who curse you and your offspring will be a blessing to all
the world," (Gen. 12:1-3).
The writer of the book of Hebrews speaks
of this in Hebrews 11:8-12. How it was by faith that Abraham obeyed God,
not knowing where he went and that he believed God when at the age of 99,
God told him he would have a son, whose offspring would be like the stars
in number. By faith, Abraham was willing to offer up Isaac, the son of
God's promise, Who had told him: "In Isaac shall thy seed be called". And
that his FAITH was counted unto him as RIGHTEOUSNESS.
The chosen status of Abraham and his offspring,
(and by the way none of the patriarchs were Jews, for there were no people
known as Jews until 1200 years after the time of Abraham, when we first
find them in 2 Kings 16:6, as they fight against Israel).
This "chosen status" is recognized and
mentioned by God in many places in the Scriptures. When God said to Israel:
"You only have I known..." He used the Hebrew word YADA which has many
meanings, but in this case means: "to recognize; to acknowledge; to appoint".
God appointed Abraham and his descendants to be a "special people."
As Americans, we have a tendency to take
pride in the fact that we are an "enlightened people", who in spite of
all our problems in recent years, still have more freedom and the good
things of life than any other place. In our "free" society, supposedly
any subject may be freely discussed under our system of "free speech".
But any honest person knows, that in recent
years we have seen a phenomenon develop in this free nation, in which things
which are not considered "politically correct", may not be discussed with
impunity. Two of the strongest of these has become "race" and "Judaism".
To hint that there is any difference in races, even when they are easily
discernible, is to be labeled with the terrible label of "racist". (That
is, if you are white). A Black, or colored person can do this, and it is
not considered to be incorrect.
But even more touchy than race, especially
in the branch of Christianity called Judeo-Christianity which embraces
most of the major Protestant denominations, any intelligent discussion
on Jews, Judaism, Talmudism or Zionism, or even any attempt to look into
truth in these areas, is met with the epithet of "anti-Semitic", which
in the eyes of some Christians is worse than blasphemy against God Himself.
Immediately they raise a howl and quote Genesis 12:3 - "I will curse them
that curse thee," never realizing that Abraham was not a Jew.
You can go into most any good bookstore
and purchase books on the world's religions. The Koran, the Bible of the
Muslim is available, as are the writings of Buddhism, Confusianism, Mormonism,
Catholicism and Protestantism. But there is one religion in the world which
you must not study and that is Judaism.
As soon as you mention Judaism, there
is a sudden curtain drawn around these people and their religion and even
the Christian pastor, who elevates them to God's Chosen status, knows very
little about them or their religion. More, he doesn't want you to try and
gain information regarding them either.
In Romans 9:6-7, the Apostle Paul states
clearly: "...For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel, neither
because they are of Abraham are they all children: But (because of this)
in ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED"! What does he mean by these seemingly
contradictory words?
When Jesus spoke to the Jewish leaders
in John 8:32, stating: "If ye will know the truth, the truth will set you
free," they haughtily replied in verse 33: "We be Abraham's seed and were
never in bondage to any man". What did they mean by this? If they were
to be believed, and we have no reason not to believe their statement, they
were plainly saying: "We are Abraham's seed through Esau/Edom". For anyone
who has studied Scripture, knows that Israel was in bondage in Egypt. If
they or their father's had never been in bondage, then they could not possibly
have been Israelites.
There is only one people in the world
who have been named after Isaac, Abraham's son of the covenant, and they
are the Anglo-Saxon and related peoples of the world, white people, if
you will, who have been known down through thousands of years as SACEA;
SAC-SONS; ISAACS'S SONS and are know called SAXONS. God said to Abraham:
"In ISAAC shall thy seed be called (or named)". Who do you believe, God
or your "brainwashed" pastor?
Yet, such is the power of the "brainwashing"
which has been carried out against our people by the enemy, that many Christian
pastors immediately cry "prejudice; un-Christian pride," when it is even
hinted at, that maybe the White nations of the world, the ANGLO-SAXONS,
are the true Israelites, not the anti-Christ people we call Jews.
It seems extremely sad to me, that our
religious leaders have been willing to accept as God's elect, those who
hate our Lord and His church worse than any heathen and who have openly
declared, over the centuries, their intention to destroy "White Christian
civilization". Not only have they declared this in books written by their
own people, and in public speeches, but have shown it by their actions
against Christianity.
Take a few minutes to examine those who
have been instrumental in having prayer and Bible reading removed from
our public schools; who have had the sacred symbols of Christianity removed
during our Christian holidays, (In fact they have heathenized these holidays
for gain). Look at those who own and operate the abortion clinics which
yearly murder over 2 million unborn babies; those who own the liquor and
dope industries; those who run the prostitution rackets; those who push
the immorality of the theater, Hollywood and TV; those who promote the
Satanic world of rock music, and I'll guarantee you that the bulk of these
will be Jews, far exceeding their percentage of the population.
Yet an honest examination of Scripture
and history will prove to any honestly searching soul, that only the White
nations of Christendom bear the Scriptural "fingerprints" which "true Israel"
was to exhibit in these "last days".
Jesus Himself gave us some definite teachings
regarding the Jews which most of our pastors have chosen to ignore. In
John 10:26, speaking very plainly to the Jewish leaders He stated: "But
ye (Jews) believe not, because ye are NOT OF MY SHEEP (emphasis added)".
This seems mighty plain to me! How can you mistake it?
In John 8:44, speaking to the Jewish leaders,
He states: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it". (There are some in identity
who teach that this is a literal, physical heritage between the Jews and
Satan, going back to the Garden of Eden, where they say that Mother Eve's
sin was sexual union with Satan, and that as a result, she gave birth to
Cain, who was a son of Satan, and the father of the Jewish race. For several
obvious scriptural reasons I do not believe this, but I certainly do believe
that Satan is their spiritual father, for they do his deeds.) Satan's first
lie was to Mother Eve in the Garden (Gen 3:4) when he assured her that
if she disobeyed God, she would not die, but that she would become as smart
as God. This touched on her womanly vanity and she sinned. I'm sure it
wasn't eating an apple! But it most assuredly wasn't sex with Satan, since
Gen. 4:1, clearly states that after their expulsion from the Garden, Adam
had sexual relations with Eve, she got pregnant and gave birth to a son
they named Cain. There is not even a hint of any third person involvement
here.
In Matthew 23:2, Jesus warned the Judean
people, many of whom were Israelites, that the Pharisees had usurped Moses'
seat of authority, and when they told Him that they followed Moses' teaching,
He exploded this lie by stating: "If ye had believed Moses, ye would have
believed Me; for he wrote of Me." (John 5:46).
Then our Master went on to accuse these
religious hypocrites of turning their converts into "two-fold more a child
of hell then themselves", (Matt. 23:15).
Finally, in Rev. 2:9, 3:9, our risen Lord
warned His people about those who "say they are Jews Judeans) and are not;
but are of the synagogue of Satan". This was never more true than today,
where at least 90% of the Jews, according to their own leaders, are not
Semitic, but come from a Turco-Mongolian background and are known as ASHKENAZIM.
In 1 Thess. 2:15, the apostle Paul accused
the Jews of killing the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and then clearly
said "of them: and they please not God, and are contrary to all men
In Titus 1:10, he further warns that there
are "many unruly and vain talkers, and deceivers, SPECIALLY THEY OF THE
CIRCUMCISION (Jews), whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses
(families), teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's (money's)
sake". (Emphasis added).
Yet with all these, and many more admonitions
concerning the Jews, our religious leaders still insist that the Jews are
God's Chosen. It all boils down to whom you will believe. The Bible, as
the Word of God, or some deceived preacher or priest.
Dr. Benjamin Freedman, a well-known Jew,
who was advisor to seven different presidents and a personal friend to
the powerful Jew, Bernard Baruch, was converted to Christianity at a late
age. In his enlightening book FACTS ARE FACTS, he states: "For every ounce
of good you accomplish through the conversion of a self-styled Jew (Rev.
2:9; 3:9) to the Christian "faith, you do a ton of harm in another direction
He goes on to say: "The Christian faith
today stands on the cross roads of it's destiny. The Divine and Sacred
mission of the church (ecclessia) is in jeopardy today to a degree never
witnessed in it's 2,000 years of history.
"If the day ever arrives, when Christians
can no longer profess their Christian faith (and this is the major goal
of International Zionism today), then we will see the 'beginning of the
end"'.
The world-wide plot of the Satanic conspirators,
has been implemented as most Christians have been asleep. Most of our clergy
seem either ignorant or indifferent concerning the plot to destroy Christianity,
while other eagerly with the enemy. It makes me cringe and shudder, when
I see so-called Christian ministers like Jack Van Impe, Peter LeLonde and
others, as they openly back the anti-Christ's of Zionism, the one's Jesus
told; "You believe not, because ye are not of my sheep," (John 10:26).
The very one's our Lord accused of turning their converts into "twice the
child of hell as themselves," (Matt. 23:15).
These men and thousands of more who stand
behind the pulpits of our Christian churches, seem to bury their heads
in the sands of indifference or ignorance. This indifference has dealt
such a blow to the Christian faith in America, that we can see 50-million
"born again" Christians in a country, which is headed for hell, faster
than at any time in its existence. Something has to be tragically wrong
with the church which has lost its power to hold back corruption.
In Jeremiah 23:22, we are told that if
the pastors of Israel "would preach the whole counsel of God's Word, the
people would turn from their wicked ways". This has not happened, in spite
of all the glowing reports we hear from the charismatic crowd, about the
great revivals which are sweeping America. It could very well be possible
that thousands are flocking to the altar and are being baptized and join
the church, but the power of God to stop corruption is not one of the things
they exhibit in their new found Christian life, and as a result of "Christian
salt which has lost it's savor " (it's ability to act as salt and hold
back. corruption), America wallows in the mire of her sin.
Christians need a spiritual Paul Revere
to ride across this land, warning our people, White Christians in particular,
that the enemy is closing in on us.
Who are these enemies of Christ and Christianity?
They are the same force the Apostle Paul warned against in 1 Thess. 2:15
- "who killed their own prophets, and the Lord Jesus", and now are persecuting
and attempting to destroy His church.
The confusion in the minds of the average
American Christian stems from the confusion in the minds of their church
leaders. Confusion always creates doubt! Doubt creates loss of confidence!
Loss of confidence causes ultimate defeat!
The present confusion in the minds of
Christians would not exist if the clergy were not "aiding and abetting"
the enemies of Christ, who have openly declared their intention to destroy
everything the clergy say they stand for. It seems amazingly stupid to
me, to see an intelligent man or woman, support someone who has openly
declared their intention of destroying them. Yet this is happening in the
church, in more instances than not.
I believe that Christian clergy in America,
Catholic and Protestant alike, are solely responsible for the internal
forces within the Christian faith, which are fighting against the best
interests of Christ. If Christians had stood for Cod, and obeyed Him fifty
years ago, America would not be in the mess it is in today. We can no longer
afford to allow our clergy to "pussy-foot" around with the truth, because
they are afraid of hurting someone's feelings, or because it is "politically
incorrect" to speak the truth!
Countless Christians today, are standing
on the sidelines of this gigantic struggle for survival, watching as their
faith "withers on the vine", and their freedom is being destroyed by the
anti-Christ's. Many clergymen are allies of the enemies without knowing
it, while others have become willing "prostitutes" of the enemy, because
of the monetary values, and the popularity they gain.
Today we see Church leaders of gigantic
stature, such as Dr. Billy Graham, who refuse to take a stand on issues
such as abortion, homosexuality, and immorality in our government leaders,
and has actually stated that the prolifigate we now have as President Bill
Clinton, is a great Christian leader
Yet I remember a few years ago, when the
president of a prominent Christian college told me that when he asked Dr.
Graham why he had softened his stand on communism, he refused to answer.
But Billy's wife Ruth stated: "Dr.... we intend to do anything necessary
to fill the football stadiums There's 99% of your answer for apostate preaching.
Or as we read in Titus 1:11- they do it "for filthy lucre's sake". (Love
of money).
The cup of the Christian church has been
made more bitter, when we realize that we are being betrayed by our church
leaders. When Christians see their spiritual leaders in retreat, which
can bring only defeat, they too become confused and afraid! To stop this
surrender, parishioners MUST demand that their religious leaders take a
stand against the intangible and often invisible enemies of Christ and
His church.
Part 1 of 7
An in depth look at some of the falsehoods
which have invaded the Christian world and the danger they pose to Christ
and His church, with apologies to none.
1 - HOW CAN WE KNOW ERROR AND FALSE TEACHING?
Christians are to genuinely love one another and seek unity. However it
should be remembered that it is "unity of faith", we are to maintain, not
"unity of the Body" and it is the truth we are to speak in love. The most
loving thing we can do for the Body of Christ, is to warn believers of
those who espouse false teachings, and the most loving thing to do for
those who perpetuate error, is to continue to speak forth in hopes they
will repent. If this brings division, then so be it.
(See 2 John 9-11; Isaiah 8:20; Galatians 1:8 and 1 Timothy
6:3).
2 - ARE CHRISTIANS SUPPOSED TO JUDGE?
(See Acts 17:11; 1 Corinthians 10:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:21;
2 Thessalonians 2:15 and Jude 3).
3 - SHOULD CHRISTIANS OPENLY CHALLENGE FALSE TEACHERS?
(See 1 John 4:1; Titus 1:10-13; 2 Timothy 1:3; 2 Timothy 4:2;
and Revelation 2:2).
4 - ARE THEIR SCRIPTURAL PRECEDENTS FOR NAMING FALSE TEACHERS BY NAME?
(See Galatians 2:11; 2 Timothy 2:17,18; 1 Timothy 1:20; and
3 John 9,10).
5 - WHAT TOOLS SHOULD A CHRISTIAN USE TO JUDGE FALSE TEACHERS AMD THEIR
TEACHINGS?
(See Matthew 22:29; 1 Timothy 4:13,16; 2 Timothy 3:17 and Titus
1:9).
6 - IS IT RIGHT FOR A CHRISTIAN TO JUDGE?
(See 1 Corinthians 5:12). While Jesus tells us in John 7:24,
"Judge not, that ye be not judged," we see in 1 Corinthians 2:15; 1 Corinthians
6:2,3,5, where Christians are to judge. (Was Paul contradicting what Jesus
said in His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:1,2? Not at all! (Most Christians
quote only this first verse, when what Christ was actually saying, as can
be seen from the context, is "Be careful of how you judge; for if God will
judge you in the same manner in which you judge others" - Author Mohr.
See also 2 Thessalonians 3:6, of course these teachings go contrary to
modern church thinking, which allows adulterers and sodomites to not only
become church members, but to take positions of responsibility in the church
- Author Mohr).
7 - HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS RESPOND TO FALSE TEACHERS AMD FALSE TEACHING?
(See Ephesians 5:11; Romans 6:17; 2 Thessalonians 3:6; 2 Thessalonians
3:14; 2 Timothy 3:5,7 and Titus 3:10).
8 - HOW SHOULD A CHRISTIAN WHO IS REBUKED FOR FALSE TEACHING RESPOND?
(See Proverbs 27:5; Lamentations 3:40; Hebrews 12:5; 1 Corinthians
10:12; James 3:2; and 1 Peter 3:15).
