T#020 THE CHURCH = THE BODY OF THE CHRIST = THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD = THE upcoming UNBLEMISHED BRIDE of THE CHRIST!


THE CHURCH

  • as The Body of THE CHRIST
  • (>>Ephesians 1:23)
  • as The Household of GOD
  • (>>Ephesians 2:19)
  • as The Upcoming Bride of THE CHRIST
  • (>>Revelation 21:9)

under

THE HEADSHIP OF

 &


THE ARTICULATION

 by

 direct from
heaven NOW!


  • --- ought not to have
  • any of these human authorities around(!)
  • and neither should have been organized at all
  • as it is now!!!
  • She has that heavenly authority (>>Matthew 28:18)!!!!

THE LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST

 alone knows

 WHO THEY ARE
& HOW MANY THEY ARE

 at any given time & place

even in The Internet !!!!

  • --- who constitute HIS BODY, HIS HOUSEHOLD, HIS Upcoming BRIDE
  • --- whom HE currently(!) moves as an organism
  • and articulates for the sake of the totality of
  • HIS BODY and
  • HIS HOUSEHOLD
  • to end up as
  • HIS BRIDE 
  • at HIS 2nd COMING.

In this way, SHE is different

 from the sects and
denominations

 around!!!

  • Sects, denominations and religious groups claiming as THE CHURCH in our time
  • have earthly heads.
  • Their authorities are unhidden
  • in the authorships of their creeds, catechisms,headquarters base, publications
  • and sets of books authorized by their organizations, councils or conventions
  • to be taught among their members and to their prospective members!
  • This is even true to them who LEAD them
  • even

to them who refuse to accept
their groups as
denominations or
organizations;

  • --- yet,

cannot share the whole
and the totality of
THE TRUTH of GOD

  • with them they preach to
  • --- and confine themselves only to what has been explained in those books authorized by that somebody they are beholden to.
No truth
concealed, they insist

 on their distinctive systems

 of worship & place of
worship;

even attendance to
their rituals, ceremonies and
adopted peculiar words of
greetings among
their members.

  • They are mightily proud of their being as a group
  • different from all others in the religious world
  • even to the point of tracing their cherished distinctions
  • as coming from persons they alone are beholden to.
  • They find it most imperative with pride to mention names (not mentioned in THE BIBLE)
  • and praise and quote them as their source of distinctive teachings and practices.

Hopefully, they can
be made aware

 to obey the implied
commands

 in >>1st Corinthians 1:11-12

  • and make them OVERCOME
  • their disregard of the issue
  • whether their distinctives are from heaven or of men
  • as would be proper if they still have intentions of obeying
  • >>Acts 5:29 & >>Matthew 21:25

& be wise as to give up

 their LEADERSHIPS

 in consonance with

  • to be preferably discussed by them
  • strictly in the methodology of
  • the leading of The Holy Spirit

But THE BIBLE calls no

 other THE HEAD and

THE BUILDER of
THE CHURCH

  • but THE CHRIST (>>Ephesians 1:21-23).
  • This is why each one of us individually has to be committed to
  • THE LORD as our CREATOR-SAVIOUR:
  • to be our OWNER, BOSS, COMMANDER
  • after REALIZING HE has redeemed us individually

to be our KING,
our CHIEF-PRIEST,
and
our working JUDGE
NOW(!)

in all our every
situation

 in life hereafter ---

above every
worldly relationship,

 including to
oneself

 (>>Luke 14:26).

  • Sad, because it is true
  • and most have not realized this as yet 
  • ---  so many of us have succumbed to

the guiles of the
devil when we put our

 relationship with them

  • we are growing together with
  • in our relationship with THE LORD ----

above that of
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN

 our RELATIONSHIP with
THE LORD & THE CHRIST.

  • We believe them and
  • we disregard THE BIBLE TRUTHS
  • they do not teach.

Then it is just as good
as we being JUDGED

 by THE LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST
NOW(!)

 we are not HIS disciples!


He/She who does
this despite

 THIS JUDGMENT by
THE LORD has, in fact,


become a disciple to
the one he is

 to-be growing


 in THE LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST with;
  • or, a disciple to at least the author
  • of those doctrines and books they insistently teach
  • more regularly than they preach THE BIBLE. 

The Body of THE CHRIST

 as established on
that Pentecost Day of A.D. 33
was not as

worldly organizations,
with officers over members,
geographical boundaries,
constitutions and by-laws,
SEC registrations as

DENOMINATIONALISTS

govern their churches now(!)

under the control of
the government!

  • THE LORD JESUS is violated
  • of these corporations, locales, districts, circuits, synods, divisions, branches or committees.
  • THE LORD JESUS did not design and build THE CHURCH
  • authorizing us to come together in conventions
  • to decide on our affairs
  • after THE New COVENANT has been completed
  • and in our time in ITS printed form now.
ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE
summarily .......

 CORRUPTIONS AND
CHANGES

 WHICH NICOLAITANS
(>>>T#026)

 HAVE BROUGHT INTO
THEIR ORGANIZATIONS

 THEY insist
confidently CLAIM
as THEIR CHURCHES!

  • Instead of worldly connections among saints,
  • all disciples of THE CHRIST JESUS
  • are TO WALK & LIVE THIS WORLD
  • in SPIRITUAL LOVE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER
  • as individual parts of THE ONE BODY
  • and IN THE CHRIST
  • as THE only HEAD & THINKER & ARTICULATOR
  • for us, severally & collectively!
  • (>>Colossians 2:2, 19).

For as long as we
walk in the light 

---- even if we do not know
and have not met each other

 and we are generations apart,
  we have fellowship

 with one another
and with JESUS THE CHRIST

 (>>1st John 1:6-7).

  • Every disciple of THE CHRIST
  • and every meeting
  • is independent and free
  • under THE CHRIST
  • --- as we look forward to the certainty of individually being held accountable for our individual deeds
  • done while living in these physical bodies of ours (>>2nd Corinthians 5:10)!

Our RESPONSIBILITY
to GOD is

 expected of
us by HIM from our

INDIVIDUAL
OBEDIENCE --->

 (>>>Menu #010)

 continuing until we
die physically)
 ---> to ALL HIS
COMMANDS

 (>>Matthew 28:20)!!!!

  • We definitely have roles to play
  • among ourselves and to one another
  • but no positions to occupy in our gatherings or
  • There are no big men in high seats
  • in THE CHURCH JESUS THE CHRIST built!!!!
  • (>>Matthew 23:1-12).


A headquarter is
the quarter of the head.

 Since JESUS is THE only
HEAD of HIS CHURCH,

 heaven is her only
headquarter.

 (>>Hebrews 12:2).

  • Denominations and their ramifications thereof have central geographically situated headquarters.
  • Whoever lives at their center (even if they don’t refer to him as head) articulates and deploys their organization's manpower resources;
  • and holds them responsible for the use of their finances, manpower training, teaching materials, even programs and schedules for their parts and affiliates.
This is another difference between

 THE LORD's
only CHURCH and

 those churches which are

 actually for their lack of
knowledge

 maintained, corrupted,
continuously
split and made to increase
in number

 by THESE NICOLAITANS
under the direction
of the devil.

  • No large congregation, place, training center, or city in the world is the center of THE LORD's ONE CHURCH.
  • Not any of the congregations in an area is to be considered more important than the others.
  • There is not to be any remittance of payments and fees to any of their headquarters (>>>T#016)!!!

As THE LORD
articulates

 each one of us

  • --- graciously are we by HIM supported
  • --- with what we are to give
  • --- to one another (>>Matthew 10:8)
  • --- particularly from out of our Weekly Laid-Aside Allocations (>>>T#015).

Heaven where THE CHRIST
is our HEAD and our BUILDER

is the only center of
the countless number of

THE LORD's gatherings and
peoples dispersed and
scattered all throughout

THE WORLD.

  • NICOLAITANS  and their members and supporters are giving THE LORD's CHURCH
  • their conceived government and their own programs of expansion, management, controls and systems.
  • A large church under them is seen to rule new and smaller churches;
  • most particularly, because of their ORGANIZATIONALLY perceived
  • financial and evangelistic needs filled up by the former.
  • Pure and sincere though beyond doubt the purposes of these aid, support and assistance;
  • but, because many of its members come from the denominations who do not know what ailed it
  • --- and what these corruptions are to THE CHURCH that have to be overcome

--- in order that they form part
of them who will become
HIS BRIDE without blemish

  • ---- they find it extremely difficult to accept their human church government to be the culprit
  • ---- thinking changes in leadership were all that was needed! 
  • And so, they are just converted from one church to another, 
  • from one denomination to another
  • --- endlessly succumbing again and again to the deceit of Satan.

Yet, we are ever to be
reminded of THE CALL

for OVERCOMERS by

 THE CHRIST wherever we
may find ourselves among

 these different
denominations,

  • even as we maintain behavior as THE CHURCH in Brotherly Love
  • [>>Revelation 3:7-13]
  • due for RAPTURE (>>Revelation 3:10 = 12:5)

as soon as the complete number of Gentiles is reached/grafted (>>Romans 11:25)

  • methodically under THE UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD of EVERY BELIEVER in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS!

Men like large conferences, conventions, gatherings,even shows of their worship services, benevolences,
 charity works timed with their anniversary celebrations as the devil tries to convince them to hold. Men like to control and influence many. Many long for offices, chairmanships, guest speakerships making their set-ups no different from
the denominations they earlier left but which they
do not want to join again.

  • BUT, these things
  • violate THE true CHURCH existence
  • as an organism in this world.
  • They corrupt the pure functioning of The Church
  • thru ELDERSHIP (>>>T#009)
  • which is found in THE BIBLE for all of us to obey!
We must not go beyond
THE WORD of THE CHRIST

(>>1st Corinthians 4:6)

 and heed >>2nd John 9.

  • We must not add to or take from THE BIBLE PLAN.
  • THE BIBLE ITSELF
  • rightly-apportioned and dispensed
  • (>>2ndTimothy 2:15)
  • is THE AUTHORITY for and among us!

With THIS AUTHORITY,

 we are all just to serve

 as ELDERS only

  • --- for a particular time/situation only
  • --- and for some particular people among us only

As we are given by

 JESUS HIMSELF

to randomly
be serving
and
getting served
in keeping
with

 HIS METHODOLOGY

 in

>>Ephesians 4:1-16 and

  (>>Matthew 23:8-10).

  • We please stop even our sincerest and best-intentioned attempts and initiatives
  • to organize The Church
  • because of which many have been put  to shame
  • and still have not learned of >>2nd Timothy 2:15;

particularly, what
... REPENTANCE (>>>T#002)

  • is for them WHO ARE LIVING
  • AS IF THEY ARE SAVED ALREADY
  • BY BELIEVING ONLY [>>>T#003]
  • --- without WHICH

it is impossible for them
to know

 further of THE TRUTH

  • as clearly put to all of us
  • in >>2nd Timothy 2:25!

Should we not just be
wielding (>>>T#048)

 just THE SWORD of
The Spirit which is

THE WORD of GOD

 (>>Ephesians 6:17)

  •  ---- without anymore displaying "our flags" (our different names such as Adventists, Baptists, Catholics, Calvinists, Wesleyans, Dating Daans, INCs, JIL, Jehovah's Witnesses, Pentecostals, Protestants, etc..)?

Shouldn’t we all commit
TO ANSWER

 THE CHRIST’s call for

 OVERCOMERS
(>>>T#027)???

  • Can we not just be as broad as THE BIBLE
  • allows us to be
  • and at the same time be just as narrow
  • as it says we must be?

Then and only then,

  • can we truly say
  • we are led by The Holy Spirit
  • Who leads us in triumphal procession in THE CHRIST
  • --- and through us spreads everywhere
  • the fragrance of THE KNOWLEDGE that is HE.

For we are to GOD

 the aroma

 of THE CHRIST among

 them who are being saved

 and even to them
who are perishing!

 (>>2nd Corinthians 2:14-15).

  • --- Mistaken are the entrepreneurships
  • of these continuing to-be denominationalists
  • at sincerely spreading THE KINGDOM of GOD
  • in terms of geographical local & foreign missions
  • --- while not serving as aroma of THE CHRIST to their next door neighbors, friends, acquaintances
  • who are perishing IN THE WORLD of RELIGIONS;

--- yet, are being saved by JESUS

  • --- by having added them
  • to gatherings
  • WE FIND OURSELVES now and then,
  • ENJOYING THE FAVOR OF ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND US
  • in the way of >>Acts 2:47!!!
A sharing in the spirit
of LOVE for our

 INCREASED KNOWLEDGE

 of THE LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST

 and HIS CHURCH!
