How wrong is the modern day “church”? It has been infiltrated by doctrines of demons and satan. Note the name, “denomination.”

No where can you find the followers of Jesus, including Paul, teaching directly out of the Torah. They may have recited or read out of the Torah as reference when necessary but, they taught like Jesus. Jesus taught directly from The Father. He taught with authority filled with The Holy Spirit moment by moment. For example, there were no Beatitudes yet. Jesus taught new things he saw and heard from his father!

His “teaching” was how to know God and have a personal relationship with God The Father, through Him, Jesus The Son. He didn’t teach out of the Biblical Old Testament scriptures.

The people of Israel thought they could have eternal life through the Torah, “the laws of Moses”. Jesus challenged them when He said, “The scriptures point to Me, yet you will not come to me”.

Even Paul stated (outside of the law), “If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. Essentially, you can have a personal relationship with Him—Jesus, and the Father, and The Holy Spirit—with NO go-betweens. True followers of Jesus do not accept anyone standing between them and GOD!

This was the church in Acts: one would give a word—such as Peter, and then maybe John the next day, and thousands would be added—by God. If anyone had a gift, they would use it. One might go lay hands on for healing, one might stand and give a word of knowledge, one might stand and prophesy, etc. There was not any one person standing on a platform for that matter “teaching”, being given the microphone and then being the center of attention week after week, meeting after meeting.

His “church” would all come together, each with their OWN personal relationship and with their gifts and operate as the body—each giving as they were given and as others had need.

This is totally missing today in the “church”—their four brick and mortar walls building. For example: today there seems to be one speaker, on a platform, (by the way, synagogues didn’t have platforms—pagan temples did), giving a “message” to a group of on-lookers that, many times, are not even challenged to search the scriptures out for themselves. These “speakers” are heaping disciples unto themselves. It has quit being about Jesus, or the sheep, but about the “pastor”. They are still looking for a visible king. It is idolatry and it is pagan!

This visible structured church, governed by men, in these last days will be the false church. The true church, not visible, will be inside of the hearts! One cannot say here it is or there it is, or come to church!

The body of Christ, with Jesus as the head, is going to be the invisible kingdom of God operating from within the temple not made with human hands…this remnant body of believers will come under persecution, but will be filled with the power and glory of God like the first followers of Jesus.

The structured church of men has become an idol! Choose you this day whom you will serve…God does not and will not share His glory, and you cannot have both!
