YHVH (GOD) Is The Answer

Humanity cannot solve it's problems. The reason: Human wants and needs are too diverse. Without YHVH (GOD), the sin within us condemns us to a world filled with inequities. As Solomon mused in Ecclesiastes: "So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter." {Ecclesiates 4:1 KJV}

YHVH (GOD) is the answer to humanity's problems. We are powerless to save ourselves from ourselves. You would think with all the problems on this planet, "so-called" government leaders; worldwide, would be addressing these issues. Instead, our leaders waste billions on frivolity and catering to the greed and insecurity within the masses, while simultaneously lining their pockets or purses.


"The profit of the earth is for all." {Ecclesiastes 4:9 KJV} Consequently, there should not be poverty or want anywhere on this planet, but there is. This can only mean poverty and want is not a natural state. YHVH (GOD) has said: "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." {Matthew 6:31-32 KJV}

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." {Matthew 6:33-34 KJV}

"For the LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all waith upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing." {Psalm 145:14-16 KJV}

Scriptures To Build Your Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of GOD, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:1,3,6 (KJV)

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac; and he that received the promises offered up his only begotten son, By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

Hebrews 11:17,20,21 (KJV)

By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11:22,23-25,27 (KJV)

And what shall I more say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to fight thr armies of the aliens.
Hebrews 11:32-34 (KJV)

The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearence of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though you see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
I Peter 1:7-9 (KJV)

For therein is the righteous of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 1:17 (KJV)

Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thy goest.
Joshua 1:9 (KJV)

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)

For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37 (KJV)

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he promised, he was able also to perform.
Romans 4:20-21 (KJV)

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 (KJV)

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mark 9:23 (KJV)

(For we walk by faith and not by sight:)
II Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon the earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:25,26 (KJV)

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:27 (KJV)

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
Micah 7:8 (KJV)

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect. But wilt thou know , O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:17-18,20 (KJV)

Let's Not Forget Who We Should Be Celebrating

With 2007 rapidly drawing to a close, and 2008 rapidly approaching, it is so easy to get caught up in matters that do not reflect the real reason for the season and the reason why the years continue. All of us are on a countdown to eternity. Let's not forget that. This universe is all about GOD (YHVH) and not about us. Instead of celebrating the pagan god Janus, celebrate the true GOD of this universe (YHVH) and our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS THE CHRIST.

Finding Contentment In GOD's (YHVH's) Word

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Mat 6:31-34 (KJV)

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever. for in the LORD YHVH is everlasting strength:
Isa 26:3-4 (KJV)

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said , I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Heb 13:5-6 (KJV)

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Phil 4:6, 7, 11-13 (KJV)

Seven Reasons To Pay Your Tithes And Offerings

"For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you," saith the LORD of Hosts. But ye said, 'Wherein shall we return?' Will a man rob GOD? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, 'Wherein have we rob thee?' In tithes and offerings." Mal 3:6-8 (KJV)

"Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Mal 3:9-10 (KJV)

Seven Reasons Why You Should Pay Your Tithes And Offerings

1) GOD (YHVH) will open the windows of heaven.
2) He will pour out a blessing that you will not have room enough to contain.
3) He will rebuke the devourer for your sakes.
4) The devourer will not destroy the fruits of your ground.
5) Neither shall your vines cast her fruit before the time in the field.
6) All nations shall call you blessed.
7) Ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of Hosts. {Mal 3:10-12 (KJV)}

Where Should You Bring Your Tithes And Offerings?

Give your tithes and offerings to good ministries where people are being saved, healed, delivered, set free and are being feed the "Word of GOD (YHVH)".

A History Of Apostate Christianity

Every Bible believing Christian; apostate or otherwise, needs to understand and accept an undeniable truth. Judaism can exist without Christianity, but Christianity cannot exist or survive without Judaism. Christianity's entire foundation is firmly rooted in Judaism. Even Satanism, Luciferianism and Islam can not exist or survive without Judaism because they are firmly rooted in Judaism also.

Without the "Children of Israel", there would be no positive or negative expression of GOD (YHVH) and our belief or disbelief in Him or someone's ignorance of Him would not exist. Every other belief; either expressed or implied, on planet Earth is either a philosophy, spiritualism or idolatry. Judaism is the only true religion on Earth; even though it was never meant to be a religion. It always was and always will be a "Way to Live" in GOD's (YHVH) Kingdom on Earth.

Academicians, philosophers, governments and self-styled men of God have misled millions and perhaps billions into believing all religions are equal. This is true, because there is only one true religion - Judaism - therefore, 1 does equal 1. In order to give their philosophies, ideologies, false doctrines, false religions, pagan and apostate Christian beliefs and psuedo-sciences validity or credibility, the men of the world/earth (Gentiles and Heathens or the nations) have equated their beliefs and doctrines with Judaism. These people have and still are deceiving billions that all beliefs and ideologies are the same or equal. Quite naturally, nothing is farther from the TRUTH!

History of the World's Modern Philosophies and Spiritualisms.

This post will help the uninformed individual lost "Child of Israel", non Christian, apostate Christian and/or "Humanist" understand what, why and how he/she believes as he/she does . You will also increase your understanding as to how and why so many billions of people believe as they do. When you research the history of modern philosophies and spiritualisms
that are being practiced and followed today, you will discover that all the world's philosophies and many spiritualistic beliefs began somewhere and were started by an individual or a group of individuals. There are some spiritualisms; such as animal and/or nature worship, that followers really do not know how their belief began or who really started it. All they know is: "We have been believing this for years".

Judeo-Christinaity is very clear. Our beliefs and way of life were established by GOD (YHVH) and His "Chosen". Islam and other beliefs that claim to be religions were all started by an individual or a group of individuals. Since information is readily available
on the Internet, concerning the world's beliefs, there is no need to rewrite what is already written. This post will direct you to the information and you can read for yourself. We will use Wikipedia because its free, has excellence reference sources and it is readily available to anyone. Other sources are available on and off the Internet if you desire to learn more about what you believe.

Simply click on the philosophy, spiritualism or founder's name.

Agnosticism; as a philosophy, was developed by Thomas Henry Huxley.
Ancestral Worship.
Many believers don't even know how, why or who developed this spiritualism. Consequently, "Ancestral Worshippers" can claim a mystical status.
Animal Worship. Like "Ancestral Worshippers", many believers have no idea how this spiritualism got started; therefore, "Animal Worshippers" can also claim a mystical status.
Atheism first appeared as a philosophy as early as 1571 AD.
Buddhism is a philosophy based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha
Confucianism is a philosophy based on the teachings of Confucius
Darwinism is a philosophy based on Charles Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" and "Natural Selection" that has infected and misled huge population groups in Western and, in some cases, Eastern Civilization; especially in academics, science, politics, social development and government. {See also "The Theory of Evolution the Scourge of the Modern World"} by clicking here.

Existentialism had its origins in the 19th Century philosophy of Kierkegaard and Neitzsche.
Gaia Philosophy and Gaia Movement are primarily based on James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis.
Gnogsticism was popular in the Mediterranian and Middle Eastern regions in the 1st Century AD and was largely suppressed. Historical research can not determine who actually started this belief. Even though Gnogticism continued throughtout history, it was revived as a philosophy in the late 19th and early 20th Century primarily in Europe and North America.
Hermeticism is a philosophical and religious belief based or attributed to the writings of Hermes Trismegistus.
Hinduism has no apparent founder that can be validated by historical research. Because the founder/s are unknown, it gives this belief a mystical status.
Humanism can be traced back to ancient Greece to the writings of Thales of Miletos and Xenophanes of Colophon.
I Ching is believed to have originated with Fu Xi or the legendary Yu.
Idolatry is as old as humanity itself. Idolaters basically believe man made things and human beings can have equal status with GOD.
Jainism follows the beliefs of the 24 Jinas (conquerors) or Tirthankaras.
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that endeavors to explain the ultimate nature of being and the world. One of the founders of metaphysics is Parmenides of Elea

Monotheism is the belief in one God.
Naturalism as a philosophy can also trace its roots to Thales of Miletos.
Neo-Paganism is a broad term used to describe a wide variety of new religious movements based on ancient and Pre-Abrahamic pagan religions.
New Religious Movement is a term used to describe a religious faith, or an ethical, spiritual or philosophical movement of recent origin that is not based on an established denomination, Church, or religious body.

Occultism can trace its roots back to the 15th Century. There are many variations of this belief and many self proclaimed founders and writers. Any one of them will do as a founder of the particular brand of occultism you believe in or follow.
Pantheism (Nature Worship); as a philosophical term, was originally coined by John Toland.
Polytheism is the belief in many gods.
Positivism is a philosophy that was developed by Auguste Comte. Followers believe the only real knowledge is scientific knowledge and such knowledge can only come from positive affirmation of theories by using a strict scientific method.

Rastafarian Movement began in the 1930's. Because followers don't really know how, why or who started it, Rastafarianism can claim a mystical status.
Religious Humanism is a humanist philosophy that endeavors to integrate religious practices and rituals with humanism, thus making humanism a new religion. Again, you can pick the person or group teacher/s or teaching/s that is influencing your belief/s.
Secular Humanism is a humanist philosophy that believes reason, ethics and justice can guide humanity's current and future development and rejects the supernatural and spiritual as a basis for moral reflection and decision-making. Like so many other philosophies, you can pick the teacher/s and the teaching/s that is influencing your belief.

Shamanism refers to a wide range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communicating with the spirit world.
Shintoism. There is no concesus when Shintoism was first developed or by whom. Therefore, Shintoism can claim mystical status.
Sikhism began with the teachings of Nanak.
Spiritualism is a religious movement that began in the United States. Followers believe spirits of the dead can be contacted by mediums.

Sufism is a mystic tradition within Islam that includes a diverse range of beliefs and practices dedicated to divine love and cultivation of the heart.
Taoism or (Daoism) can be traced to prehistoric Chinese religions, very few, if any of its followers know how, why or who developed it. Therefore, like Hinduism, it can claim a mystical status.
Transcendental Meditation is a trademark meditation technique introduced in 1958 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Witchcraft has been practiced for centuries in a variety of cultures and centers around a person's ability to evoke supernatural and magical powers. Original founders of craft can not be traced historically. Consequently; like occultism, any leading practitioner can be the person/s or teaching/s you are following.
Zoroastrianism was founded by Zoroaster.

The philosophies and spiritualisms listed above are the most well known. There are many more in various cultures around the world. As time passes more will undoubtedly develop and lead people astray or into intellectual perversion of some sort or kind. If you don't see your particular philosophy listed above, it only means, I didn't know your unique philosophy existed, it's too new or the number of active followers are limited at this point in time. Other philosophies that direct entire nations such as despotism, totalitarianism, socialism, capitalism, communism, unilateralism, fascism, nationalism, etc., have been excluded for the purpose of this discussion and will be addressed in a future post.

Non Christian Philosophies And Beliefs Based on Judaism

Very few people realize that the vast majority of people on planet Earth have been influenced either negatively or positively by Judaism, the belief given to us by GOD (YHVH) through the descendants of "The Man Adam", the "Children of Israel". There are many millions of followers of various Eastern philosophies simply because these beliefs are centered in huge population groups in China and India (not native Americans that were mistakenly called "Indians" because of ignorance).

Islam was founded by Muhammed, Mahomet and is based on revelations given to Muhammed by the biblical angel Gabriel. Many modern historians do not record or reveal this fact, and simply say, "revealed by God". Muslims, Islamic followers and believers, believe the Qur'an was revealed to Muhammed to restore the teachings and faith of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all the prophets. Islamic tradition teaches that Christianity and Judaism distorted the messages of the prophets by text, interpretation or both.

Luciferianism is based on the biblical Satan and many historians believe it is a deriative of Satanism. Luciferianism is rooted in the esoteric teachings of Western Occultism and Hermeticism that were discussed in the previous section. Since there are many self proclaimed founders, you can pick the teachings or teacher that you are following.

Satanism is obviously based on the biblical Satan and has a long history going back into the "Middle Ages". The most prominent and widely known Satanist in modern times is Anton LaVey. Lavey started the "Church of Satan" in 1966 and wrote the "Satanic Bible" in 1969.

The History of Apostate Christianity

You would be amazed at how many Christians go to Church every Sunday, read "Scriptures" and still do not understand or realize the "New Testament Scriptures" fulfills the "Old Testament Scriptures" from Judaism. Moslems/Muslims go to Mosques/Masjids every Friday and still do not understand or realize, they are reading and discussing how to restore, change or reform Judaism. The "Children of Israel" will never cease to amaze you as to how they can discount the authenticity of Christ, when everything about Him is written in their own sacred books. The sheer madness, arrogance and ignorance of intellectual and educated folk is an absolute mystery to intelligent minds.

It is believed the Apostle John went to Heaven in 100 AD. Since his passing out of his flesh body, the apostate Christian Church has had 1,907 years to grow and develop. This departure from the true faith can be traced back with certainty to the writings of one man - Ignatius of Antioch. To be sure there are others, before him and after him, but he laid the foundation of the apostate Roman Catholic Church; which eventually gave birth to her apostate offsprings - the "Reformed" and/or "Protestant" Churches. This falling away had to occur to fullfil "Scripture". 2 Ths 2:3; Jud 1:4 (KJV) The apostate Church is not a future occurrence, it has already happened and 99.9999% of the entire Christian population are going to, worshipping in and supporting apostate Christian Churches. Mat 24:5 (KJV)

There are millions of apostate Christians that have read chapters 2 and 3 in "Revelation". Despite having millions of members, it apparently has never dawned on Roman Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Holiness, Pentecostals and evey other Protestant denomination on Earth, that none of their Churches or Church groups are mentioned in "Revelation"


John was told to write unto the Angels of the 7 Churches {Rev 2:1-29; 3:1-22 (KJV)} and send the book of what thou seest to the 7 Churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. {Rev 1:11 (KJV)} It also has never dawned on apostate Christians that all the "Scriptures" pertaining to the "falling away" (apostatizing) is talking about them.

Even the 2 Churches that were not condemned; Smyrna and Philadelphia did not receive a final message. In fact, no final message was given to any of the Churches. The final message after each Church is to the individual that hears what the spirit saith unto the Churches. {Rev 2:7;11;17; 26-29; 3:5-6; 12-13; 21-22 (KJV)} The individual that hears the message will seek the truth; which is the "Word of GOD" and will overcome everything he/she has been taught or believe that is contrary to GOD's Word, Will and Purpose. GOD's people are in every one of these apostate Christian Churches.

Have you not read?: "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and GOD hath remembered her iniquities." {Rev 18:4-5 (KJV)} And.. It is written: "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of GOD, and the faith of Jesus." Rev 14:12 (KJV)

You will discover as you investigate the history of "Reformed" apostate Christian Churches that actual founders are difficult to trace historically. The reason for this is because during this time period when many of these Churches were being formed, it was dangerous to speak out against the Roman Catholic Church. Roman Catholics had tortured, beaten, and burned thousands of people at the stakes. Witch hunts were common and thousands more were killed. Leaders of many splinter Christian groups could be rounded up and executed if they were not protected by powerful "Magistrates". See the "Protestant Reformation" by clicking here.

Many of the apostate Christian Churches were spawned because of the corruption that existed within the Roman Catholic Church. This corruption and perversion within the Roman Catholic Church still exist today; even though they are trying to cleanup their act. {See the "Radical Reformation" by clicking here.}

Well, you ask. What are some of these apostate Christian Churches? Jack Van Impe Ministries has compiled a list of over 38,500 different Church groups, denominations, non denominations, sects, cults, divisions and sub-divisions within apostate Christiandom. The following denominations and movements are a list of the largest and most well known. Whenever it is possible, the name of the founder/s will be included. {See list of Christian denominations by clicking here.
} Click on the Church groups below for more information.

African Methodist Espicopal
(AME) was founded by Bishop Richard Allen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1816.
Amish are descendents of Swiss Anabaptist groups formed in the early 16th Century during the "Radical Reformation". The Swiss Anabaptist doctrine began with Felix Manz and Conrad Grebel.
Anglican commonly refers to the beliefs and practices of the Anglican Communion.
Apostolic-Prophetic Movement has a number of leaders that shaped this movement.
Arminianism is a school of thought in Protestant Christian theology founded by the Dutch theologian Jacob Hermann. Hermann is probably best known by his latin name - Jacobus Arminius. Hermann's influence extends throughtout much of mainstream Protestantism

Baptist have two views when it comes to their origins. One is "Perpetuity"; which basically states they have been in existence since the time of Christ and the Apostles. We know this view is not entirely true because the Church established by the Apostles was the Church of GOD that is identified as the Body of Christ not Baptist. The second view is the Baptist doctrines grew out of the "Anabaptist Movement".
Binitarians also believe their doctrines most accurately reflect original Christianity.
Calvanists are members of a "Reformed Protestant" movement that are influenced by the writings and teachings of John Calvin.
Charismatic Movement began with typical beliefs held by Pentecostals and can now be found within numerous theological movements and in multiple denominations.
Christian Scientist (The Church of Christ, Scientist) can trace their origins to Mary Baker Eddy who founded the Church in 1879 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Church of Scientology. The first Scientology Church was founded in December 1953 in New Jersey by L. Ron Hubbard, his wife Mary Sue Hubbard, John Galusha and a few others.
Davidian Seventh Day Adventist Sect founded by Victor Houteff in 1942, was the forerunner of the Branch Davidians that split with the group in 1955. Prior to the name change in 1942, this movement was known as "Shepherd's Rod" and actually began in 1929.
Eastern Orthodox Churches and all other Orthodox Churches that split from the Roman Catholics are basically the same as the Roman Catholics. Just like the Roman Catholics, these Churches are not the same Christian Churches left by the Apostles. Act 20:28; I Cor 1:2; Gal 1:13 (KJV)
Evangelical (Old Line) began in the 18th Century in response to enlightenment thinking and often refers to a broad collection of religious beliefs, practices and traditions which are found among Protestant Christians.
Evangelical (Neo/Modern) are varied. You may find them working entirely within their own denominations, different denominations or with locally based or independent Church groups.
Fathers of the Church are the most influential theologians and writers in the Christian Church during the first 5 Centuries. It should be noted that none of the original Apostles are considered as a Father of the Roman Catholic Church and this is true, because they are not. Apostles are referred to and used as a source of credibility because all the Catholic Churches are not the Churches the Apostles left behind. Act 20:28; I Cor 1:2; Gal 1:13 (KJV)

Fundamentalist Christianity or Christian Fundamentalism arose mainly within British and American Protestantism in the late 19th and early 20th Century.
Holiness Movement can trace its historical roots back to the "Reformation".
Hussites. The Hussites follow the teachings of "Reformer" Jan/John Hus/Huss. The largest remaining Church of this group is in the Czech Republic, formerly Czechoslavakia.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the restored form of 1st Century Christianity
The name "Jehovah's Witnesses" is based on Isaiah 43:10 and was adopted in 1931. The Witnesses are one of the few Christian groups or denomination that is very close to GOD's true Christian Church, unfortunately they fall short in many other areas.
Lutheranism identifies with the teachings of the German reformer Martin Luther.
Maranatha, founded by Bob Weiner, officially disbanded in November of 1989, but in 1994,15 of the 70 former Maranatha Churches reformed under Morning Star International. In 2004, the remaining Maranatha Churches changed their name again to Every Nation.
Methodism traces its origins to the evangelical teachings of John Wesley.
Methodist Episcopals can trace their beginning to the Baltimore Christmas Conference held in 1784.
Mennonites are a group of Christian Anabaptist named after and influenced by Menno Simons.
Millerites. The "Millerite Tradition" is a diverse family of denominations influenced by the writings of William Miller.
Mormons. The "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". The term "Mormon" has its origins from the "Book of Mormon", which followers believe is a collection of writings and teachings of ancient prophets and followers of Jesus Christ who lived in the Americas. Mormons believe Joseph Smith, Jr., translated the Book of Mormon into English by divine inspiration from golden plates.
Nazarene. The best known of these Churches is the "Church of the Nazarene" which emphasizes the Christian activism in the Arminian tradition of John Wesley.
New Age Movement is a term commonly used to describe the "Spirituality" movement of the late 20th Century. It is characterized by an individual approach to spiritual exploration.

Pietism originated with Philipp Jakob Spener and was very influential throughout Protestantism and Anabaptism.

Presbyterianism roots date back to the "Reformation Movement of the 16th Century. There is strong evidence Presbyterianism was influenced by the writings of John Calvin.
Protestant Reformation began with Martin Luther's activities in 1517 and essentially was an attempt by European Christians to reform the Roman Catholic Church.
Quakers. The "Religious Society of Friends" was founded in England in the 17th Century. George Fox is considered by many historians to be a co-founder or an important early leader.
Religious Science also known as "Science of Mind" was founded in 1927 by Ernest Holmes and is a religious movement within the "New Thought Movement".

Roman Catholic Church can reportedly trace its history to Jesus Christ and the Apostles. However, if you examine their history, it is apparent the Church that exist is not the Church that was established by the Apostles. The true Church of the Apostles no longer exist and has not existed for over 1,907 years.
Rosicrucianism was reportedly founded by a group of German Protestants, most notably Christian Rosenkreuz
Seventh Day Adventists distinguish themselves from other Christian denominations by observing Saturday, the 7th day of the week, as the Sabbath. Among its founders was Ellen G. White.
Unification Church is a new religious movement started by Sun Myung Moon in Korea in the 1940's.

Unitarians trace their history back to the "Apostolic Age" and like the Jehovah's Witnesses, claim their doctrine most closely reflects original Christianity.
Worldwide Church of God was orginally founded by Herbert W. Armstrong in 1933 as a
"Radio Ministry".

What you have seen so far is not even the tip of the iceberg of the over 38,500 different apostate Christian beliefs, groups, Churches, denominations, non denominations, cults, sects and divisions that exist within Christendom. The mere fact that all these different Christian groups exist is proof they are apostate.

Why?
Because.. It is written: "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body: so also is Christ." {I Cor 12:12 (KJV)} And...It is also written: "That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another." {I Cor 12:25 (KJV)} And..Have you not read?: "For GOD is not the author of confusion, but of peace as in all churches of the saints." I Cor 14:33 (KJV)

Well...you ask. What are the Churches of the Saints? The Churches of GOD (YHVH) - {Act 20:28; I Cor 1:2 (KJV)} that is identified as the Body of Christ. {Eph 4:12 (KJV)} This is the Church the Apostles left. A people called by His name, His real name, written in the language it was spoken and given, and allowed to be written down. 2 Chr 7:14 (KJV)

In Hebrew, not Aramaic, English, German, Latin or Greek. No Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, RMUEs, MEs, AMEs, Evangelicals or another apostate name Christians come up with to identify themselves. {Mar 13:22 (KJV)} The only identification the Apostles left is the Body of Christ and the only Church - the Church of GOD (YHVH). {Isa 43:7 (KJV)} This Church does not exist today and has not existed for over 1,907 years. Gal 1:13 (KJV)

The vast majority of these apostate Christians do not even realize they are the apostate Christians that were prophesied would come into the world before the end of days. {2 Ths 2:3 (KJV)} The apostate Church is not someone else's Church...IT'S YOUR CHURCH!! {Mat 13:37-43 (KJV)}

Well..you ask. What about all the people being saved, healed, the miracles and all those people that are being delivered and set free? What about it? Christ said he would allow it. {Mar 9:38-41; Luk 9:49-50 (KJV)} The power is not in the Church, the power is the name of Jesus. {Luk 10:17; Act 3:5 (KJV)} What heals, delivers and sets people free is not the minister, congregation or the faith healer; it's the "Holy Spirit". I Cor 12:1-11 (KJV)

The power of the undivided unified Church of GOD (YHVH) is to change the world {Mat 28:18-20 (KJV)} by establishing the Kingdom of GOD on Earth. {Mat 6:33; Mar 1:14; Luk 4:43; 8:1; 9:11;60; 13:28; 16:16 (KJV)} Jesus spent 40 days after his death, burial and resurrection speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of GOD. {Act 1:1-3 (KJV)} That's how important the message of the Kingdom is. Everyone that prays the "Our Father Prayer" and says; "Thy Kingdom Come", is praying for the Kingdom of GOD to come to Earth. Mat 6:9-13 (KJV)

How do you know these apostate Christian Churches are not really preaching or teaching the Kingdom message? Since they began over 1,907 years ago, more people have died in wars, from diseases, famines, pollution and murder than in the entire history of the world before they were established. The Roman Catholic Church was absolutely powerless against the "Black Death" that ravished Europe.

Money is the only medium stablizing this world. Remove it, and the world, as we know it, will collapse. Everywhere apostate Judeo-Christianity has become entrenched, the people and their governments become morally, ethically and spiritually dead or corrupt shortly after. The world has not gotten better. It has gotten progressively worse.

Apostate Judeo-Christianity can't change the world. It is creating it.
{See "The History of Western Civilization" by clicking here.} Apostate Christianity can't even change itsself. Why? Its been going on for centuries in self deception and a house divided against itself can not stand. {Mat 12:25; Mar 3:24-25 (KJV)} and..even worse, apostate Judeo-Christianity and its governments are Mystery Babylon. Rev 17:1-18; 18:1-24 (KJV)

That's why it is written: "Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the Will of my Father which is in Heaven. Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Mat 7:21-23 (KJV)

The "Marriage of the Lamb" to His wife - {Rev 19:7 (KJV)} the Church - is not apostate Judeo-Christianity. {Rev 11:1-2 (KJV)} It's the TRUE CHURCH, the Church of GOD (YHVH) - the Body of Christ {Rev 22:8-9 (KJV)} arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. {Rev 19:8 (KJV)} The good news is there are many true believers that have been and still are locked in apostate Judeo-Christianity and the TRUE CHURCH OF GOD (YHVH) IS COMING SOON. It must come in order to fullfil the "Scriptures". Exd 20:24; Num 6:27; I Kin 5:5; 9:7; Eze 36:23; 39:7; 25; 43:7-8; Amos 9:12; Zec 13:9; Mal 1:11; 4:2; Rev 6:3-4; 7:1-17; 9:4; 11:1-12; 12:17; 14:1-5;12; (KJV)

How To Recognize An Apostate Church

In order to recognize an apostate Church, simply look at the name. If it doesn't say: The Church of GOD (YHVH) - the Body of Christ, chances are excellent, its an apostate Church. Apostate Churches focus more on the deity of Jesus the Christ. As one minister said one Sunday in an RMUE Church, "Forget about GOD and just concentrate on Jesus."

Quite naturally, I never went back to that Church. It was so unfortunate, because the congregation was saying Amen and Preach, when the Minister's words were blasphemous. Many of these Churches call themselves "New Testament" Churches. As stated in a previous post, there are over 38,500 different apostate Christian denominations, sects, cults, philosophies or religious beliefs. However, they all can be divided into 7 basic categories or types.

Seven Basic Types of Apostate Christian Churches

The First Category of Apostate Christian Churches is the one closest to the true Church of GOD - the Body of Christ. People are taught the "Word of GOD" and how to live righteously in the "Kingdom of GOD" on earth. New converts to the faith are taught to accept Jesus Christ as their LORD and SAVIOUR; by confessing with their mouth before men or women and believing in their heart that GOD (YHVH) raised him from the dead. This is the beginning of salvation.

The new convert is baptized in the name of the "Father", the "Son" and the "Holy Spirit" {Mat 28:19 (KJV)} or in the name of "Jesus Christ" {Act 2:38 (KJV)} either one is acceptable. New converts are given a Bible reading schedule starting with the "Psalms of David" and they are told to confess their "Sins", repent their "Sins", accept the finishing work Jesus Christ did on the Cross for remission of "Sins", Pray Daily" and to "Sin" no more. They are introduced to Church Officers, given a "Bible Study Schedule" for the week or month and are taught how to teach their family about the "Kingdom of GOD".

New converts to Christianity are told about "Tithes" and "Offerings"; and they are given a schedule for regular "Communion" (real wine and bread, not grape juice and crackers), "Sunday School" and "Worship Services". They are introduced to the various "Church Ministries" such as prison outreach, social outreach, evangelism, government policies, politics, teaching, music, community service, field ministry, salvation, healing, deliverance and setting people free. Once the new convert joins the congregation, he/she is educated about the "Word of GOD", "Gifts of the Spirit", how to test the "Spirits", the true "Natural Sciences", "World History" and the development of the Church over the centuries.

The entire congregation is taught what to study and how to study to become effective field ministers for Christ and Christian living. They are taught how to use "Biblical Scriptures" to validate their beliefs. They are taught the "Sacraments of the Church" and how to rightly discern the "Word of GOD" line by line and chapter by chapter. Old and New Testaments. They are taught how to walk in faith, live
by "Biblical Principles" and obey GOD's Commandments. They obey the Sabbath Law by doing good deeds on Saturdays instead of shopping or working for provisions. On Sundays, they Worship GOD (YHVH), celebrate Jesus the Christ, fellowship and "Teach" instead of "Preach".

Shepherd's Chapel is one of the few apostate Christian Churches that "Teach" the "Bible" in depth and thoroughly by this method. However, there is an underlying philosophy that is historical, but not "Scriptural". Their beliefs are similar to those of some "Replacement Theologist"; that believe England and/or America is at least one, if not all the "10 Lost Tribes" of Israel. The Jehovah Witnesses also do a great job of teaching the Bible. But, many of the basic foundations of the true Church of GOD, they do not teach or believe in. In fact, a common saying among the Witnesses is, "Before I came into the knowledge of the truth". In addition, the Witnesses have one of the best, if not the best field ministries out of all the apostate Churches and, unlike the vast majority of the remaining apostate Churches, they do teach the "Kingdom of GOD" 99% of the time.


The Second Category of Apostate Christian Churches is the more traditional Protestant Churches; such as Reformed, "Old Line" Evangelicals, Holiness, Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, Methodist Episcopal, AME, RMUE, Non-Denominational and the Churches that follow a similar or the same doctrine. In these Churches, the overwhelming majority of the time, Ministers, Reverends or Pastors will base their Sunday morning sermon on a few "Scriptures"; and from these "Scriptures", they will Preach and whip their congregations into an emotional frenzy in order to excite or evoke a move of the "Holy Spirit". Many times the "Holy Spirit" does move; but far too often, what is moving is a "Familiar Spirit". If the congregation is more intellectual, the Pastor/Minister will simply give a talk or lecture from a few "Scriptures" and develop a theme from them. The theme or main message from the :"Scriptures" is applied to the daily religious, moral, ethical, economic, social and sometimes political short comings of the congregation.

The Third Category of Apostate Christian Churches is the old line Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Chinese Orthodox, Macedonian Orthodox, etc., Lutherans, Calvinist, Presbyterians, Episcopals
and all the Churches that still maintain the basic tenets of the "Holy Eucharist" even though they have broken away from the parent - the original apostate Church - the Roman Catholic Church. Church "Services" are highly organized and outlined. The Witnesses have a similar organized approach to Church "Services", but theirs is entirely different. There are 3 aspects of Christianity the Catholics and the old line apostate Churches associated with them retain - the "Bible", "Jesus Christ" and "Communion"; along with the "Sacraments". However, Biblical teaching is done primarily from the Catechism. When it comes to "Communion", Christ did say; "Do this in remembrance of me." Mat 26:20-30; Mar 14:16-26; Luk 23:19-22 (KJV)

The Fourth Category of Apostate Christian Churches is the sect; such as, Nazarean, Maranathan, Apostolic, House of Jacob, Seventh Day Adventist, Branch Davidian, Quakers, Mennonites and Mormons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), there are literally thousands of Christian sects all over the world. The Quakers, Seventh Day Adventist and Mormons are the most well known because they are some of the largest and the wealthiest. Unlike the other sects, the Mormons have a State, Utah, an excellent field ministry and an excellent University - Brigham Young.

Despite their wealth, their doctrine is still apostate. The sign for an adulterous generation is the sign of Jonah (Jonas); not John Smith.
{Mat 12:39; Luk 11:29 (KJV)} How do you know that? If any new doctrine about Jesus the Christ were going to be discovered, it would have been mentioned in the "Book of Revelation", the "Books of the Prophets" or revealed from the "Mouth of a Prophet" before He was born {Deu 13:1-4; 18:15;18;20;22; Num 12:6; I Sam 9:9 (KJV) not after His death, burial and resurrection.

I must be cautious about saying, "from the mouth of a prophet". There are thousands of false prophets being directed by "Familiar Spirits". {Lev 19:31; 20:6; Deu 18:11; 1 Sam 28:3;9; 2 Kin 21:6; 23:24; Isa 8:19 (KJV)} Everything concerning Christ was spoken of by the Prophets hundreds of years before His birth. {Mat 1:22; 2:5; 2:15;17; 3:3; 4:14; 8:17; 12:17; 21:4-5; 27:9;35; Luk 1:76; 4:17; Jhn 12:38 (KJV)} Therefore any "latter-day" prophet will have to be suspect when it comes to anything relative to Christ and His "Teaching".


The Fifth Category of Apostate Christian Churches is "New Age", "Modern Evangelical" or "Charismatic". There are so many different variations of this Church, until one never knows what he/she might find. "Jesus Christ Crucified" is rarely preached or taught. What is taught is "GOD's Love" instead of His "Wrath". "Sins" are rarely discussed. "New Age", "Modern Evangelical" or "Charismatic apostate Christian Churches are more touchy-feely, psychological and sensitivity driven than "Scripture" driven. The Old Testament is rarely used or discussed and the emphasis is on molding Christ to one's lifestyle or molding one's lifestyle to Christ.

Sermons typically focus on GOD's desire to work in personal situations; either individually or collectively as a congregation, or moving someone or the congregation to some new level of spirituality. In truth, GOD has only one level, obedience to his Commandments, Word and Will, repenting of one's "Sins" (failing to meet GOD's Righteous, Holy and Perfect Standards), accepting the "Redemptive" work Jesus the Christ did on the Cross, Holy, Righteous living and deeds, Daily Prayer, Reading and Meditating on GOD's Words, Communion, "Teaching the Gospel" and "Sinning No More".

To many in these apostate "New Age", "Modern Evangelical", or "Charismatic" Churches, coming to know Christ is achieved by an individual process. Many times in these type apostate Churches entertainment and/or "Rock Music" is used as a method to attract young people to the faith. The real danger to this type "Worship Service" is the "Holy Spirit" rarely moves. What does move into these fifth type apostate Christian Churches are "Familiar Spirits"
{Lev 19:31; 20:6; Deu 18:11; 1 Sam 28:3;9; 2 Kin 21:6; 23:24; Isa 8:19 (KJV)} and "Demonic Spirits". There are no Biblical Scriptures that clearly define or explain the difference between "Familiar Spirits", "Seducing Spirits" {1 Tim 4:1 (KJV)} and "Devil/Demonic Spirits". What we do know for certain, is attracting them or consulting with them is an abomination in the eyes of GOD. Lev 17:7; Deu 32:17; 2 Chr 11:15; Psa 106:37 (KJV)

The Sixth Category of Apostate Christian Churches is the "Replacement Theology". In this "Church", followers are taught Christians have replaced the "Children of Israel" and the "Jews" as GOD's "Chosen". Far too often, these Christians believe America and/or Great Britain is the "Israel" of the Bible because of Britain's and/or America's status as world powers. Many believe America and/or Great Britain is at least one, if not all the "10 Lost Tribes" of Israel. The members of these Churches; which includes the so-called Church of GOD, are far more political, worldly, philosophical and intellectual than any other group of Christians, with the exception of the Christian Scientist.

The Seveth Category of Apostate Christian Churches is the Church of Christ, Scientist. Otherwise, known as Christian Scientist. There are hundreds of apostate Christian Churches and groups with similar beliefs; such as, the Church of Scientology, Religious Science and the mystical Rosicrucian Order. Rosicrucians do not profess to be Christians even though they were founded by a group of German Protestants. These Churches basically believe they have discovered GOD's Divine Laws or Sciences and they have learned and can teach others how to use them.

Other Ways To Detect An Apostate Christian Church

If everything fails; such as the name and doctrine and you still can't tell whether or not you are in an apostate Christian Church, ask to see the "Creed". If the apostate Church does not have a "Creed", that's even worst. At least the Bishops of the early Church did try to organize and standardize what they believed. The original Nicene Creed was first adopted in 325 AD at the First Council of Nicaea. At the time, the text ended after the words "We believe in the Holy Spirit", after which an anathema was added. Soon after the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, new formulas were composed at the Second Ecumencial Council in 381 AD.

The Third Ecumenical Council in 431 AD reaffirmed the Creed that was approved in 381 AD and decreed that: "It is unlawful for any man to bring forward, or to write, or to compose a different Creed or Faith as a rival to that established by the Holy Fathers that assembled with the "Holy Ghost" in Nicaea." As you can plainly read. The original Apostles and Disciples of the Church of GOD - the Body of Christ - were replaced with the Bishops that attended the 381 AD meeting of the Second Ecumenical Council.

The Nicene Creed As It Should Read

Below are the traditional and modern wording of the Nicene Creed and how they should read. GOD's real name is taken from the Masoretic Text or the Tanakh and written in an English equivalent YHVH. The computer I use does not type Hebraic characters. The Holy Catholic Church has been replaced with the (Biblical) Church of GOD that is identified as the Body of Christ in "Scripture".

The Communion of Saints has been replaced with the
(Biblical)
One New Man; neither Jew nor Gentile, without race, ethnicity or creed. And I believe in the Works of the Apostles and in working toward and for the (Biblical) Kingdom of God on earth so that all human life might benefit and be saved.

If the Creed of your Christian Church does not state GOD's true name and the Church of GOD - the Body of Christ, you know you are in an apostate Christian Church.

Traditional Wording

I believe in one God (YHVH),
the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God (YHVH),
begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit
of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again
according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;
and he shall come again, with glory,
to judge both the quick and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit the Lord, and Giver of Life,
who proceedeth from the Father [and the Son];
who with the Father and the Son together
is worshipped and glorified;
who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe in the Church of God (YHVH) - the Body of Christ,
The One New Man; neither Jew nor Gentile, without race, ethnicity or creed.

And I believe in the Works of the Apostles and in working toward and for
the Kingdom of God on earth so that all human life might benefit and be saved.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;
and I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. AMEN.

Modern Wording

We believe in one God,(YHVH)
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only son of God (YHVH),
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son].
With the Father and the Son
he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in the Church of God (YHVH) - the Body of Christ,
the One New Man; neither Jew nor Gentile, without race, ethnicity or creed.

We believe in the Works of the Apostles and in working toward and for
the Kingdom of God on earth so that all human life might benefit and be saved.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. AMEN.

To the majority of modern apostate Christians, the Nicene Creed is regarded as the quintessential expression of Christian faith. In this traditional belief, all proper "Christians affirm the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed is referred to by Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholic Churches as the "Symbol of Faith", and its recitation is often part of Christian "Worship Services". In the Catholic Mass, it is also referred to as the "Profession of Faith".

However, some apostate Evangelical Christians reject the Creed (and especially its recitation) not for its content, but, simply because it is not found in the Bible. Others, such as the Mormons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The Church of the New Jerusalem and The Jehovah's Witnesses, while accepting the Christian "Scriptures", reject the Nicene Creed as an error or a misinterpretation and, against some protest from other apostate Christian Churches, identify themselves as Christians.
