T#089 EXPOSING The Christendom WE HAVE In OUR TIME!

EXPOSING


THE

NOW-A-DAYS'

CHRISTENDOM


strictly via

>>REVELATION

Chapter 2:18 up to

Chapter 3:22

INCLUSIVE!

Symbolic &

Prophetic as

written

  • in A.D.96 yet
  • and as we should read and understand them NOW(!)
  • the things which shall hereafter be
  • (then in A.D.96 yet)
  • >>Revelation 1:19)

and/but now(!)

  • THE REALITY & ACTUALLY sadly OBTAINING of CHRISTIANITY
  • in this our very time NOW!



THE CHURCH
as written to
in the place called
Thyatira, then

(>>Revelation 2:18-29)

Thyatira, from the Greek word that means in English, “the sacrifice of perfume”, "sacrifices and sacrifices", and "lingering sacrifices.”


In our times and places
therefore,

THE CALLED-OUT
ONES

[ekklesia]

from rituals and
lingering sacrifices
& DEVOTIONS thereof!


Very beautiful description --- nothing unsavory when seen from its meanings. Yet, fathom as you go reading this treatise why
  • THE LORD JESUS has purposely pictured HIMSELF here
  • with “eyes like flame of fire”
  • andHIS feet are like unto brass.
  • WHAT HIS eyes see,
  • HE JUDGES(!) with HIS feet.

Unlike THE BIBLE
advocates from

the different organized
churches around us,

  • THE LORD JESUS knows and acknowledges
  • the sincerity and devotion and faithfulness with which this church in its present increasingly corrupted state
  • has been doing all along and even with increased fervor now!
  • They are however among all Claimant-Christians
  • THE MOST SINCERELY WRONG
  • (for emphasis sake)
  • among all of us who have much left
  • yet to-be-desired to learn from THE BIBLE
  • in order to-be-credible Claimant Believers in THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.
  • The rest of their fellow-believers
  • in the other organized churches
  • do not at all categorize them as believers in THE LORD JESUS
  • and do not find any thing good in them
  • (as if these other believers in THE LORD JESUS
  • do not have any shortcoming themselves
  • before THE SAME LORD JESUS!)
  • How THE LORD contradicts the other believers from outside their group
  • by what JESUS HIMSELF said of some few among them in >>Revelation 2:19!
  • Truly, how double-edged this sword really is (>>Hebrews 4:12).

But yes, these
organized bible
advocates
are right
  • in exposing this woman in verse 20
  • who is confusing THE WORD of GOD among the people of GOD
  • and confusing the people of GOD themselves.
  • What this Jezebel brought into THE CHURCH
  • centuries after JESUS THE CHRIST established on that Pentecost Day, A.D. 33

in a very subtle and
discreet manner

  • (like simply adding yeast into what shall become a dough)
  • are THE GODS of THE WORLD:
1. --- GOVERNANCE through THEIR own-created hierarchial ORGANIZATIONS,
2. MONEY,
3. POWER & INFLUENCE
  • and even
4. SEX.
  • Before GOD’s eyes,
  • these are collectively plain and simple IDOLS
  • THAT she brought into THE CHURCH JESUS
  • established as called-outs of the world
  • last Pentecost Day, A.D. 33!

Historically, Ahab (a Jew)
was joined into The Gentile
World through Jezebel.

Figuratively, as
THE BOOK of REVELATION
 ought to be understood ~~~


THE CHURCH through
this woman
JEZEBEL 
(ITS
HIERARCHY)
  • was illegitimately married by King Constantine
  • to THE GENTILE WORLD.
  • This church sends out its own ambassadors (nuncios)
  • to all nations it wants to wield political and business power with
  • [over and above its religious influence & control]
  • --- owns and operates banks and businesses out of the money of & earnings of this church
  • in conjunction with the world's banking system
  • plus largely because they forbid their clergy to marry
  • as Paul earlier prophesied of them in >>1st Timothy 4:3
  • many of its clergy and laity are involved in scams & sex SCANDALS
  • ranging from homosexuality to siring children outside of marriage
  • resulting to FINANCIAL COSTS to their dioceses by having to pay settlements for damages for their acts  
  • which, if at all --- should have been of the worldlies ONLY!
  • For this church,
  • (acknowledged beyond question to be of the largest membership world-wide)
  • it is advancement for their church
  • to be able to bargain and make gains in this world
  • because they are married to it.
  • According to GOD however,

it is sinning for

THE ONE CHURCH

HE established

  • to even just try to gain what the worldlies
  • are competing with each other
  • what to gain for themselves.

Jezebel calls herself
a prophetess

  • because she controls through her imprimatur
  • the preaching and teaching of every preacher and teacher
  • in this church.
  • Its preachers and teachers are stamped with legitimacy
  • only if what they say isaccording to our Holy Mother the Church”.
  • This makes us every member of this church a child by no less than three (3) mothers, to include our biological mothers;
  • ourMama Mary” and also our “Holy Mother the Church”!
  • In our parish, we also have our "Mama Margaret".
  • Another dimension to the confusions which Jezebel wants to get believed as another mystery
  • of which this church of which I was born a member
  • under Jezebel is very fun of is:
  • the matter of countless fathers that we have.
  • Over and above our only FATHER in heaven
  • we also have our "Holy Father" in Rome
  • and the countless ordained priests we call "Fathers"
  • (BLATANTLY disobeying >>Matthew 23:9)
  • despite they have not begotten us.
  • In this church,
  • it is what the hierarchy of the church (Jezebel) says that matters
  • --- NOT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
  • nor WHAT THE LORD SAYS.
  • The concern of our leaders in this church
  • is not that people listen to THE LORD
  • but that all people listen to Jezebel and THE  POPE.
  • Jezebel’s success is our failure
  • as majority members of this church in unceasing sacrifices [of the mass] & devotions
  • to overcome all the teachings of Jezebel.

This is why THE LORD

is continuing to call
for OVERCOMERS within

THIS CHURCH

  • like I answered and heeded that call and did not shrink from that challenge.
  • THE PROTESTANTS or  reformers who followed Martin Luther ought not to have ended up organizing
  • The Church of Germany and The Church of England.
  • These reformers should have stayed as an organism
  • in THE CHURCH in Thyatira as THE OVERCOMERS


  • therein.
  • Otherwise, THE LORD could not have said
  • I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of GOD”.
  • (>>Revelation 3:3).

GOD does not sanction
co-habitation

  • between HIS CHURCH and the world.
  • Because THE (corrupted - by - the worldwidely - organizing) CHURCH
  • eventually bore as children THE CHURCH in Sardis
  • with the involvement of the governments of Germany and of England
  • THE CHURCH in Sardis too
  • is told to REPENT!
  • (>>Revelation 3:3)
  • This is why the hierarchy of This Church in Unceasing Sacrifices
  • is JUDGED by THE CHRIST HIMSELF of sexual immorality or fornication!
  • (>>Revelation 2:20-21)
  • This church is still and will continue to be united as married with THIS WORLD
  • [--- THE WORLDS OF RECOGNITION, FAME, FORTUNE, INFLUENCE & CONTROL - SEEKERS, BUSINESSMEN, POLITICIANS, & RELIGIOUS PEOPLE
  • particularly in activities & projects of concerns in the field of educationculture & arts, banking & finance, travels & tours, real estate, governments, religions, etc....]
  • and will be filled to full with every immoral behavior of the world.
  • To becast into a bedis to be a patient in sickness
  • while she is bedridden.
  • To be cast into acoffinis to die
  • ending her influence and control.

But noshe will continue
her present(!)
morality-sick condition


  • and will remain INCURABLE while CONTINUING to be increasingly influential
  • to them among her ranks who refuse THE CHRIST's CALL for OVERCOMERS
  • even as THE LORD JESUS comes back!!!!

WHILE IN THIS CHURCH AGE,
  • THE LORD JESUS is not
  • and will not explicitly ask the members of The Church in Unceasing Sacrifices
  • to come out of it.
  • THE LORD knows absolutely that through HIS numbered OVERCOMERS therein

HE will be able
to expose effectively

the incurable sickness of
This Woman

(The Catholic Hierarchy
comprised of Its Clergy)
      • easily and credibly
      • so that the chosen OVERCOMERS among her followers
      • (Catholic Laity)
      • who commits ADULTERY with her --->
      • [because they tolerated her to teach
      • and they continued to heed and practice her teachings]
      • ---> WILL REPENT!!!
      • >>Revelation 2:22


      This time it is ADULTERY
      already because it is

      a co-habitation
      with what
      THE WORLD offers

      and not a partaking
      of the heavenly calling

      that THE LORD JESUS
      DIED for US ALL!!!!)

      • --- because some of us in THE CHURCH
      • sacrificing & sacrificing in daily masses & rituals & fanatical devotions
      • CATHOLICS that WE ARE --- are still
      • ---- together with some of HER REMNANTS .... THE PROTESTANTS
      • --- ALL OVERCOMERS --- from both
      • including them in THE CHURCH in brotherly love
      • & in the opinions of men - churches

      per GODS's plan ....

      ARE FOR MARRIAGE

      to HIS SON
      @ HIS second coming!

      • --- subject further to our (while-waitingindividual submission inside us
      • (not as a family, neither as a nation nor as the whole mankind

      to submitting

      and establishing our
      personal relationship with
      THE LORD

      grounded on
      THE 4-ASPECTS
      of
      THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS 

      • [including all THE JEWS & THE WHOLE OF MANKIND who lived THE New COVENANT WAY OF LIVING since that Pentecost Day, A.D. 33 and thereafter]
      • alluded to as early as >>Genesis 3:15-24

      .... THUS,
      THE WHOLE OF MANKIND
      are merely warned of
      THE GREAT
      TRIBULATION these
      adulterers will undergo

      • IF they ---- THEIR CLERGY & THEIR LAITY
      • of THE CHURCH in sacrifices and sacrifices
      • do not individually repent of their continuing sinnings!
      • (>>Revelation 2:22).
      • REPENTANCE is the continuing mind-set, in the dictates of our emotions, urges & appetites and will.
      • Physically, every repentant soul in THE CHURCH in Unceasing Sacrifices
      • is needed therein among them
      • to be used by THE LORD JESUS as
      • HIS OVERCOMERS therein.
      • This is HIS recorded PLAN
      • and we in this church have to make THIS PLAN
      • come true in our personal-individual lives

      by getting them whom
      we have to assist

      TO BECOME
      OVERCOMERS like us

      • obey everything in >>1st Corinthians 7:17-24, NIV
      • verse >>19 --- the obey-or-die commands in THE NEW COVENANT

      1. >>John 8:24,
      2. >>Luke 13:3, 5,
      3. >>2Thessalonians 1:8-9 (>>1Corinthians 15:1-4);
      4. >>Matthew 10:32-33

      • primarily and most importantly.
      • There is this role to play in this prophesy on THE CHURCH written in A.D. 96 yet.
      • GOD knows too well
      • believers in THE LORD JESUS from other churches
      • will not be likely listened to
      • most particularly by This Church in Unceasing Sacrifices. 

      MANKIND knows very well from experience and observation
      • that when married couples part ways and stay separated,
      • the issues between them are left to be fast forgotten
      • --- without any of them resolved
      • --- and they do not even want to listen to each other anymore.
      • This is the very rationale of >>1st Corinthians 7:17-24, NIV
      • for all in these churches around to know and heed!!!
      • The issues among these different organized churches
      • will remain unresolved
      • unless they resolve to resolve the issues among themselves
      • from the point of view of GOD by obeying both

      >>1st Corinthians 1:10
      as well as

      • and more importantly

      >>1st Corinthians 11:19

      • which all denominationalists are most afraid to obey
      • because they would rather obey the former ONLY
      • not knowing by doing so
      • they are guilty of sinning further
      • by refusing to heed
      • >>1st Corinthians 4:1-6 and
      • >>James 2:10.

      BEFORE JESUS
      COMES,

      • are you not going to answer
      • HIS CALL for YOU
      • & YOUR fellow-believers
      • in JESUS as
      • HIS OVERCOMERS
      • while you are physically with:

      1)    The Church in the place Thyatira as written to by John then in A.D. 96 yet! --- The Roman Catholic Church NOW!

      2)    The Church in the place Sardis as written to by John then in A.D. 96 yet! --- The Protestant Churches of Germany & of England NOW!


      3)    The Church in the place Philadelphia as written to by John then in A.D. 96 yet! --- THE CHURCH which has remained AN ORGANISM 

      • and not an organization
      • therefore hardly noticeable but discernible in their paupoy-upoy lang
      • low-key-profile living
      • with one another in brotherly love NOW!

      4)    The Church in the place Laodicea as written to by John then - in A.D. 96 yet! --- The Differently ORGANIZED Churches mushrooming around NOW(!)
      • so distinct and tellingly different from each other
      • yet notwithstanding their irreconcilable and countless differences
      • THE LORD JESUS saw fit to collectively call them
      • and make their leaders and members
      • undeniably claim themselves
      • astheirchurch
      • instead of HIS CHURCH!


      THE CHURCH

      as written to
      in the place called
      Sardis then

      (>>Revelation 3:1-6)

      Sardis, from the Greek word meaning,“remnants”, “retaso”.

      In our times and circumstance therefore, THE CALLED-OUT ONES in remnant status



      ang na-retaso human sila
      ni-BIYA physically

      sa power & influence sa
      Simbahang Romano Catolico!

      • They were the few who however ended-up members of The Anglican Church & of The Church in Germany
      • earlier enlightened by the workings of the seven Spirits of GOD
      • after THE CHURCH in Thyatira prior apostasized.

      THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST used Martin Luther

      • a monk of The Roman Catholic Church
      • (really THE ONE & ONLY CHURCH existing at that time
      • --- although then very extensively corrupted by the teachings and controls of Jezebel already)

      as HIS mouthpiece for HIS
      should have-been continuing
      enlightenment there.

      • THE LORD does not say in >>Revelation 3:2
      • that the work of Luther was not good;
      • rather, it did not proceed to perfection
      • or completion before GOD.
      • Luther and his followers brought to THE already corrupted CHURCH
      • --- justification through faith
      • and THE open BIBLE only


      [but later changed by Luther's successors to
      "by faith -- single instance -- believe ONLY"]

      • which Jezebel earlier closed and replaced with
      • the ordo, bibliaries, missals & encyclicals!

      HISTORY records however
      • that Protestantism failed miserably
      • to reform the many in The Church in sacrifices & rituals
      • even and most undeniably in the matter of their protest against indulgencies then.

      Reform is possible
      only if

      the to-be-reformed
      and the reformers

      stay together.

      • Protestants failed to realize the truth
      • there has to be only ONE CHURCH
      • as THE LORD JESUS founded HER!
      • They failed to see that their should-have-been-continued stay
      • in The Church in Thyatira
      • for them to be OVERCOMERS in THE CHURCH
      • in Unceasing Sacrifices & Rituals
      • foremost on the issue of indulgences first
      • ..... and that all the rest of the teachings of Jezebel
      • have only to be overcome
      • in their individual lifetimes
      • while they were
      • physically inside it.


      Just as when a member
      of our family gets dirty by
      his/her carelessness,

      we behave towards him/her
      with unjustified
      justification .... as having
      ceased to be a part of us
       for having dirtied our family.

      Yet on the contrary,
      we-overcomers ought all the more to be
      the deeply obligated to remove the dirt
      from him and nobody else.


      The moment The Reformers physically left THE CHURCH in Unceasing Sacrifices & Rituals
      • they were left with no option but to fight
      • instead of OVERCOMING
      • --- in Germany & in England specifically
      • as many now(!) elsewhere
      • wrongly fight!
      • [in THE UNITED STATES for one currently(!)]

      (because these teachings
      really emanate,
      controlled & are effectively
      spread from
      THE STATE OF VATICAN
      which
      THE AMERICAN VICTIMS
      of SEXUAL ABUSES
      have difficulty
      trying to get compensated
      for the damages
      resulting from their
      wrong teachings and practices!)

      • fruitlessly continue to do!
      • The mistake of mistakes was that
      • those Protestants cannot anymore reform
      • THE CHURCH from outside her
      • as they --- in retrospect, later
      • organized into The Churches of Germany and of England.

      The Reformation
      failed to bring
      THE CHURCH

      • back as an organism as she was since ....

      before King Constantine
      married her to his expanding
      world empire then!

      • As established, THE CHURCH was & not to be an organization nor organizations

      but an organism

      • from & since the apostolic times ..... to having been THE CHURCH in desirable status in Ephesus then
      • to becoming THE CHURCH in persecuted or suffering status in Smyrna then
      • even up to the time when THE CHURCH became in union (puyo-puyo pa lang niadtong panahona!) or live-in status with the world in Pergamos then
      • It was only when THE [worried-many turned persecuted-suffering turned self-helpingCHURCH
      • were fooled by Satan to wrongly choose to live as married with the world
      • through King Constantine’s decree ....
      • as relief to their sufferings
      • that THE CHURCH had its first taste to being organized
      • --- and since then has remained and in fact grown ever-sophisticatedly organized!
      • No other church but
      • The Roman Catholic Church can rightly claim they are
      • THE "original" [organized-worldwidely] CHURCH
      • and all other churches we observe around now
      • merely followed them
      • getting organized & working hard to get international in their memberships.
      Protestantism merely
      came up establishing
      • THE CHURCH in remnant status
      • particularly in Germany & in England on the national levels.

      WHILE the devil
      continues
      its subtle yet very firm
      hold on

      • THE CHURCH in its lingering sacrifices & rituals
      • as well as THE CHURCH in remnant status

      by virtue of their having

      organized in the worldwide
      and national levels
      respectively -----

      the very root and basis for
      entanglement with
      THE WORLD

      from where we were
      ironically
      called-out
      [ekklesia]
      from!

      • ORGANIZATION ought not to have any place
      • in the organism that THE CHURCH ought to be
      •  ---- not to be changed
      • as founded & established by
      • our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.

      Protestantism only caused

      THE ONE CHURCH
       to be added initially with
      STATE CHURCHES
      (Iglesia Filipina Catolica --
      in our country)

      but failing at this national
      scale succeeded with
      bringing about all

      these multi-kinds of
      denominations now(!)
      world-wide(!!!)

      • because Claimant Christians failed to see
      • THE ONENESS OF THE CHURCH being an ORGANISM only
      • --- as established by THE CHRIST
      • ---- meeting wherever they can while spread and scattered as salt and traveling as pilgrims
      • in the worlds of GOVERNANCES in
      • politics, businesses, religions, sportsmass mediaetc....
      • ….. so that the gates of hell cannot prevail against her gyud!

      "You have a reputation of
      being alive, but you are dead."

      • Justification through THE FAITH and THE Open BIBLE
      • gave THE CHURCH in remnant status
      • a reputation of being alive.
      • But, they are actually dead ....
      • as when the leading of The Holy Spirit is not only filtered but blocked
      • by styles of GOVERNANCES (>>>T#084)
      • & instead of ELDERSHIP(!) (>>>T#009)
      • --- LEADERSHIPS in the highly to the thinly structured organizations
      • THOSE NICOLAITANS among them (>>>T#026)
      • established, thrived and prospered with.

      This is why
      and rightly so

      • Roman Catholics until now!
      • blame Protestants for having led THE CHURCH to further chaos.
      • NICOLAITANS grew in number
      • .... and kinds with their DOCTRINES
      • .... and strategies for influence in ORGANIZATIONS
      • .... as dissenters multiplied and multiplied.
      • To each their own, they exalt their own doctrines
      • and adopt distinctive practices.
      • Just as many who do not subscribe to these distinctives also form their own organizations.
      • This development paved the way for THE CHURCH in Remnant Status

      to deteriorate further from

      THE LORD's
      design and workings as

      • HE established her unchangingly as an organism
      • and instead evolved and degraded itself further into
      • THE further-organized-in-accordance-to-THOSE NICOLAITANS' behaviors-&-teachings as CHURCHes

      in THE OPINIONS and
      JUDGMENTS
      of THOSE PEOPLE

      • as John was made to write care of the messenger
      • specifically to them in the place called Laodicea then(!)

      The Baptist Church was organized because some saw baptism as an issue for resolution.

      Then, even The Baptist Church has been split further
      • (because of some Nicolaitans among them who organized themselves as Primitive Baptists who wanted to have exclusive lead and control over them at the start.)
      • --- further split into different kinds of among others ---- AnaConferenceConventionConservativeEvangelical, Fellowship, First, Grace, Reformed, Bible [Metro Cebu has to-date 3 factions], Independent, Free Will, even Seventh Day Baptists, etc…
      • as if --- there is nothing wrong with their co-existence and non-fellowshipping with each other anymore!!!!

      Even two (2)
      MISSIONARY BAPTIST-
      biological brothers
      i think are my relatives
      because we have the same surname

      • who have taken turns serving as pastor of their one and the same congregation
      • whose building meeting place is just within the compound where their respective family residences are located
      • --- are observed not anymore fellowshipping with each other
      • --- miserably unexplainable convincingly
      • --- to and by the members of this particular Missionary Baptist Church in our city
      • --- including with and by the leadership and membership of their namesake neighbor Missionary Baptist Church
      • --- located some 17 kilometers just away from this City!

      Satan is very happy over situations such as
      happening in these 2ChurchES the undersigned
      have personal knowledge and experience
      fellowshipping with for a long time one after another.

      • Invented churches were and are continuing to be established
      • not because someone KNEW from THE NEW COVENANT

      --- WHAT THE CHURCH IS ---

      BUT, rather someone
      saw it in their judgment ----
      should be like:
      The Presbyterians, Episcopalians,
      Methodists, Adventists, etc.
      ... to name a very few.
      • They are the consequent results of the failings (>>Revelation 3:2) of THE CHURCH starting with them in Remnant Status
      • who started to exist in A.D. 1517 only!!!
      • but although written to them as a prophesy still in A.D. 96 yet(!)
      • was not left to be directly understood by their individual efforts at understanding 
      • but care of the messenger (>>Revelation 1:16, 20)
      • for them!!!  (>> Revelation 3:1)
      • This is why the leaders and members of
      • the above churches together with all the variant churches after them that we see/meet around
      • do not call themselves
      • --- and rightly are not at ease being called --- Protestants.
      • They really are not!

      “Wake up! Strengthen what
      remains and is about to die.”


      Justification through THE FAITH [>>>T#003]
      • (only a few are sticking to this because many now(!) have changed to by faith -- one-time believing)
      • in their "altar calls"; in some's personal acceptance as their Lord & Savior only!!! via their sinner's prayer
      and THE Open BIBLE
      • are all that are left of Protestantism and is in fact about to die.
      • The organizations and the regulations of men which are beyond dispute additions and ramifications
      • to THE WORD of GOD

      are choking all the remnants
      and subsequent ramifications
      of Protestantism.

      • This is why THE LORD said, “I have found no work of thine perfect (completed!) before MY GOD.”
      • This is why they have to REPENT by RE-STARTING TO BEHAVE

      as an organism for

      SUBTLE
      CHANGE
      in this world

      • OVERCOMING those teachings and behaviors of THOSE NICOLAITANS
      • they now and then will meet wherever they may find themselves.

      THE HISTORY
      of
      The Protestant Churches

      • is a history of revivals one after another
      • as worked out by The Holy Spirit to strengthen that good that remained in them.

      But, once those blessings
      of THE LORD came,

      • men organized something to contain those blessings.
      • When as in evangelistic meetings and crusades,
      • as they term these efforts of theirs
      • the grace of GOD once again comes to some individual souls
      • those denominationalists have been quick to compete with each other
      • to get and keep them in their own organizations where they are to become members and pay their tithes. 

      As a result, the organizations
      remain and are in fact
      increasing in number

      • as we count the assumed names of their organizations
      • but the blessings soon are gone.

      If only ALL these denominationalists

      • can be honest with GOD
      • and be truthful to themselves,
      • they are bound to agree
      • they are repeatedly;
      • now(!) and then,
      • grieving (>>Ephesus 4:30),
      • resisting (>>Acts 7:51)
      • and one of these days may be
      • quenching The Holy Spirit (>>1st Thessalonians 5:19)!!!!


      THE CHURCH
      as written to
      in the place called
      Philadelphia then

      (>>Revelation 3:7-13)

      Philadelphia, from two Greek words combined to mean, “brotherly love”. 

      In our times and places NOW(!), The Church in Philadelphia is THE CALLED-OUT ONES in brotherly love.



      Where THE CHURCH
      in remnant status

      (The Protestants)

      • failed because they parted with the majority they were-to-be overcomers among
      • and not leave behind The Roman Catholics
      • to study THE WORD by themselves without them as overcomers-messengers around
      •  and .... worst organized the churches
      • that became The State Church of Germany and The Anglican Church ---- away from Rome
      • --- The Holy Spirit worked through a few among those who had justification through THE FAITH
      • in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS
      • and THE open BIBLE
      • who did not stick it out with The Roman Catholic Church
      • nor became members of The Anglican Church nay The Church of Germany. 

      In Dublin, IRELAND ---
      • ---- in 1825 or thereabouts
      • we can learn from history
      • that some souls were moved by GOD
      • to love collectively
      • THE feuding Catholics and Protestants
      • both even now(!) ---- are now and then still at it
      • ---- as they got convicted of
      • the ONENESS of THE BODY of THE CHRIST.

      They saw

      the evils of the clergy-laity system

      in both churches and

      the contesting religions
      that they really have actually become

      • --- of their claimed exclusive right to exclusively preside over "their" sacrifices & "their" worship services
      • --- and/or their exclusive right to preach and teach in their respective organizations
      • --- all contrary to THE UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD of EVERY BELIEVER in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS!!!!

      These lowly and
      unknown few whom

      THE BIBLE

      refers to as
      of little strength

      (>>Revelation 3:8)

      • met constantly with each other
      • with only THE BIBLE to guide them
      • fully believing in the truth in >>2nd Timothy 3:16-17.
      • History records these believers were joined by a clergyman from The Anglican Church by the name of John Nelson Darby
      • who was very dissatisfied with his untenable position at The Anglican Church.
      • Even as he wore his habit as clergy
      • he met frequently with those lowly believers in JESUS THE CHRIST
      • as they studied THE WORD of GOD together
      • and of which he was very knowledgeable.
      • In 1827, he officially put off the uniform of a clergyman
      • and became a simple brother meeting together with his brothers.

      What the brothers
      saw at the start

      was rather limited

      • but when J. N. Darby continued to be with them,
      • the light of heaven poured down on THE CHURCH in Brotherly Love.
      • As J.G. Bellet and some other souls also attended their meetings
      • as one just like any brother,
      • they all saw in THE SCRIPTURES
      • that the believers meeting together
      • as co-disciples of THE CHRIST
      • learning from one another
      • were free to break bread together among themselves
      • as was recorded in >>Acts 2:46!!!!

      They came together
      in all simplicity as

      co-discerners
      of GOD’s will

      • not anymore with a pulpit
      • but waiting for one another
      • to learn of THE WORD of GOD
      • under THE UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD of EVERY BELIEVER in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS
      • wherever and whenever they can.

      THE CHURCH
      In Brotherly Love

      • --- groped gradually onward
      • --- received revelation gradually
      • --- saw further light gradually and
      • were equipped with one another to maturity gradually
      • as >>Ephesians 4:11-16 came to be true among them.

      History records these
      things happened
      spontaneously

      • within a short span of  time ---- also in British Guiana and Italy
      • and succeeding years later  in ---- Arabia, London, Plymouth and Bristol in U.S.A., Europe
      • and elsewhere throughout the world
      • (China --- with Watchman Nee)
      • as many as those who love THE LORD more than they love their denominations
      • were meeting together in this way.
      • There was at the start --- still no outward union or organization;
      • yetall were and still raised up by THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF unhampered then.

      Some who were titled and
      who lorded it over in their
      denominations

      • gave up their titles and their positions and forsook their degrees.
      • They abandoned worldly class or rank in their churches and became simply
      • the disciples of THE CHRIST
      • and brothers one to another
      • (brother's keepers! >>Genesis 4:9)

      Just as the word “Father”
      is widely used

      • among Roman Catholics
      • and “Reverend” is used in The Protestant Churches
      • the word “brother” is commonly used in their midst.
      • They were attracted by THE LORD (>>>Post #195)
      • and because of their love for THE LORD,
      • they spontaneously loved one another and genuinely.

      Within a few years,
      THE LORD gave and added

      to HIS Church
      in Brotherly Love

      • such souls as were the likes of George Muller, C.H. Mackintosh, D.L. Moody, James G. Deck, George Cutting, William Kelly, C.H. Spurgeon, F.W. Grant, S.P. Tregelles, Andrew Miller, R.C. Chapman
      • and many others
      • and all that they
      • exposed themselves to
      • in those many places who joined their meetings
      • lending truth to >>Acts 2:47!

       #1-THIS particular Church
      is to show us ----
      Claimant Christians

      • She as THE LORD's upcoming Bride
      • cannot and does not have to gain the entire world
      • or even a geographical portion of it
      • but ironically
      • some have fallen from THIS WAY when
      • they claim
      • and behave themselves 
      • as the local church
      • with their unilaterally declared boundaries
      • --- by their imposition of their respective acquired permanent meeting places
      • (to incresingly establish their control)
      • (OVER them uninformed of this MISTAKE!)
      • where they are required to assemble(!!!)

      ---  WHEN ... her heavenly calling 
      teaches us all

      THE CHURCH
      is an organism

      • .... can meet wherever and whenever we can
      • .... has no worldly hope whatsoever
      • and that THE LORD JESUS
      • at HIS second coming from the present heaven
      • is THE HOPE of THE CHURCH

      we are to be a part of

      • and not a member thereof!
      • Oh, how contradictory the teachings are
      • of those PROSPERITY preachers for their come-on
      • to their MEMBERS! 

      FIND OUT & CHECK

      • IF THEY EVEN HAVE COME TO KNOW
      • OF THE ELEMENTARY TEACHINGS of CHRISTIANITY!
      • albeit THEIR repeated ASSERTIONS THEY KNOW THEIR BIBLE


      #2-THIS particular CHURCH in loving one another is to show us

      • THE UNITY of The Holy Spirit
      • THE UNITY of THE BODY of THE CHRIST
      • and THE SIN of denominationalism!



      #3-THIS particular Church in loving one another is to show us

      • that despite the most glaring contrasts and differences
      • between Judaism and CHRISTIANITY
      • The Roman Catholic Church and The Protestant Churches were not able to manifest

      THE CHRISTIANITY
      of THE BIBLE

      • ..... and even up to NOW(!)
      • including The Denominations
      • or The Church In The Opinions of The Laity or The Common People!!!
      • --- ALL of us collectively are miserably failing

      THE UNIVERSAL
      PRIESTHOOD of

      EVERY BELIEVER
      in THE LORDSHIP
      & THE CHRISTHOOD
      of JESUS!

      • --- of our compliance to >>Ephesians 4:4!!!!
      • We are to not as a group anymore(!!!) but
      • individually BE OVERCOMERS as
      • HE has chosen us
      • >>Matthew 20:1-16, >>Matthew 22:2-14
      • from among the many called-out!


      #4-THIS particular Church in loving one another is to show us

      • THE SIN of the mediatorial class
      • as opposed to THE CHIEF-PRIESTHOOD
      • OF THE CHRIST over us
      • how all the Children of God are all priests
      • (>>Revelation 1:6, >>1st Peter 2:5, 9) and
      • how all ought-to-serve GOD as priests for unbelievers
      • but among fellow believers
      • merely co-discerners of GOD’s WILL
      • as our brothers' keepers [>>Genesis 4:9]
      • with THE rightly divided BIBLE
      • as THE AUTHORITY for all
      • under HIS ELDERSHIP METHODOLOGY!


      #5-THIS particular Church in loving one another is to show us

      • THE SIN
      • of CALLING THOSE BUILDINGS of THOSE NICOLAITANS
      • as THE CHURCH..



      #6-THIS particular Church in loving one another is to show us

      • THE SIN
      • of IMPOSING man-made laws, edictsrules, regulations, ordinances, and constitutions and by-laws
      • while ever-strengthening their quests for RECOGNITION, FAME, FORTUNE, INFLUENCE & CONTROL, POSITION, POWER, & SOVEREIGNTY
      • to THE CHURCH, THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST established on PENTECOST DAY, A.D. 33!!!


      #7-THIS particular Church in loving one another is to show us

      • THE SIN 
      • of ATTRACTING & HOLDING ON
      • to their converts and members
      • by PROSPERITY Preachers
      • through worldly hopes, promises and relationships.

      In other words,
      the problem of

      the corruptions

      in The Catholic and
      The Protestant Churches

      • were brought to light and from member to member thereof
      • .... what ailed that far in time the supposedworld of Christianitythen
      • were sought corrected and overcame by them.

      Learning through
      their experiences

      as recorded &
      exposed herein

      from THE WORD:


      I. we are to keep from being conceited, proud, and combative
      • by behaving as of “little strength.”

      a
      II. To keep us from being attracted to the quests for recognition, fame, fortune, influence & control, position, power, sovereignty in THE WORLDS of Arts & Sciences, Businesses, Governments & Religions most particularly
      • we are to keep HIS WORD.


      III. To keep us away from the teachings of denominationalists,
      • we are “not to deny HIS NAME,
      • We are not to say to any one anymore: “I am a Lutheran” or “I am a Presbyterian”, or “We are Baptists.”


      IV. We are to pray in HIS NAME, gather in HIS NAME and exalt only HIS NAME.
      • The reference word CHRISTIAN
      • when attributed to us
      • ought to be enough to distinguish us from the world
      • WE have been called-out by JESUS
      • with no need for ourselves
      • to assume a name for ourselves.
      • There is to-be no such creature saved by THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST
      • who can continue to tolerate being called  --  Pentecostal Christians, Baptist Christians, Catholic Christians, Protestant Christians
      • as if there are different kinds of Christians.


      V. We are “to keep the word of HIS patience”.
      • We are in the time of THE CHRIST’s patience,
      • even and more so to be reminded
      • are they who deny HIS NAME
      • by their exalting the above names.


      VI. We are to “hold fast that which we have”
      • HIS WORD and HIS NAME
      • --- wherever among, until THE LORD JESUS if we are still alive @ that moment ... raptures us 
      • to HIS THRONE (>>Revelation 12:5 = 3:10)
      • before THE GREAT TRIBULATION!!!!


      THIS IS
      THE CHURCH

      THAT WE ALL
      OUGHT-TO-BECOME

      thru GOD's
      individualized quest

      for our
      individual responses!

      • When you try to follow THE LORD this way however ....
      • when you try to get some others to follow THE CHRIST this way
      • .... our fellow believers in the mainstream
      • DENOMINATED with their own adopted names Christianity
      • will NOT love you for advocating this way.


      VII. We should realize this!
      • Denominationalists will be against us
      • and they will provoke us to behaving
      • as of great strength
      • to make us fall into sin
      • as they try to maintain and expand their organizations.

      BUTwe ought to
      obey GOD rather than
      men.
      (>>Acts 5:29)
      (>>Jeremiah 10:23)

      • These denominationalists
      • are actually very evidently working for
      • their respective doctrines, credibilitiesleaderships and organizations
      • and not for THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS !!!!



      THE CHURCH
      as written to
      in the place called Laodicea then

      (>>Revelation 3:14-21)

      “Laos” --- from the Greek word meaning, “common people” or “laity”. 
      “Dicea”--- from the Greek word meaning “opinions” or “judgments”.


      In this our times and
      circumstances
      therefore,

      The Called-Out Ones in
      THE DISCERNMENT /
      OPINIONS OR JUDGMENTS
      OF THEIR LAITY.

      • This is The corrupted Church
      • particularly where the opinion of the majority
      • becomes the accepted opinion of their Church
      • --- notwithstanding what GOD HIMSELF has said
      • in THE NEW COVENANT
      • as The Authority for all of us now!
      • As long as the majority of their membership agrees
      • that is all right!
      • This is their church
      • where brotherly love is scarcely evident.
      • What binds them together
      • is not love for one another
      • but their submission to the opinions & judgments of men
      • as earlier promulgated in a certain conference, convention, assembly and council
      • making them a part of a federation, fellowship or some united front of sorts.
      • Their Church -- this particular church is an organization
      • instead of an organism.
      • They have made THE CHURCH
      • a neo-democracy of the people

      instead of A THEOCRACY

      on an individual-to-
      individual basis

      • for the whosoever-will (ONLY) --- IN THIS END TIME.
      • Many of them are very extra cautious to refer to each other as brothers and sisters.
      • They often call each other as Mr. X, Mrs. Y, or Pastor Z.
      • They who are in these churches of different names are united with some believers in other places
      • BUT they don’t feel a bit uneasy being separate from other believers in THE CHRIST
      • in the very locality they find themselves among.
      • Wrongly, they invoke >>2nd Corinthians 6:17
      • as if those outside their membership are all unbelievers!!!

      Over and above

      THE WORD of GOD

      • they insist on and require what has been put down in their constitutions, by-laws and sets of doctrines, and their personal testimonies
      • as standards and conditions for their membership and fellowship.
      • They believe in >>2nd Timothy 3:16-17
      • BUT THE NICOLAITANS among them
      • cannot expect their members
      • to be adequately and fully equipped
      • without their organization-sanctioned substitutions, subtractions from and additions to THE WORD of GOD.
      • They also have not realizedthey must learn to have a heart
      • large enough to include all their fellow believers in THE CHRIST outside their organizations
      • outside their fellowships
      • so as not to treat them and not address
      • them as outsiders

      as when they repeatedly say
      “here in our church”….

      “in your church

      …."we" …. as
      clearly excluding you

      • and putting pressure on you
      • to submit to becoming a member of their church!
      • By doing that,

      they are exalting themselves,
      their doctrines,
      their LEADERS and
      the names of
      their respective groups ----

      • CONTRADICTING HEAD-ON
      • THE CHRIST's purposes and intents in
      • >>1st Corinthians 4:1-6!!!

      THE LORD
      speaks of HIMSELF
      to them as

      • “THE AMEN”
      • “THE ALL RIGHT”
      • “THE SO LET IT BE”
      • --- THE ONE WHO
      • --- will fulfill everything @ the end of time
      • THE ONE saying:

      T.A.P.O.S. gyud MO
       U N Y A ! ”

      • WHY?
      • Because HE knows their works
      • that they are neither hot nor cold to
      • HIM, HIS LORDSHIP, & HIS CHRISTHOOD,  and
      • HIS WORD

      And that is why HE is about

      to spew them out

      of HIS mouth.

      • For how can they be hot despite their passionate
      • "evangelization efforts"
      • winning souls” and
      • planting churches

      when instead of
      preaching THE GOSPEL
      of prime importance at the least


      • to getting obeyed by their hearers:
      • THE WORD as seed
      • THE CHRIST crucified
      • THE KINGDOM
      • THE FAITH that leads to
      • the forgiveness of sinnings and
      • REPENTANCE leading to salvation

      PREACHED by them


      • --- They ASK their hearers
      • QUESTIONS & ELICIT their REPLIES
      • instead of their hearers asking
      • what they should do and reply with what are written
      • in The Scriptures (>>Acts 2:36-40).

      They are already well
      content with their

      (organization - established and
      benefactor - sanctioned)

      approaches, behaviors,
      knowledge
      and efforts along these lines.

      • When you give them biblical articles and treatises
      • even with every biblical reference
      • practically line by line to refer to and read
      • they arrogantly ask what new things
      • they can learn from them.
      • They appear and behave as rich not missing any thing any more.
      • To bolster this devil-initiated feeling among their leaders and members
      • they will readily discern only a few of them are lowly in life and even among
      • their few accepted lowlies in life
      • they are quick to declare
      • they are more secure in their life
      • than those who are in the upper strata of the society
      • they are in but who are outside their church.

      No wonder,
      THE LORD JESUS
       says to them what is recorded in

      >>Revelation 3:17-19.

      • They do not realize fully well
      • the matter of spiritual and material things:
      • that if any man boasts of his worldly riches, his bank account, his paper bills and riches do not fly away --- nor will their value decrease.
      • That is also how they think of their knowledge of THE BIBLE
      • and their church .... their riches.
      • But, the truth in spiritual matters is this:
      • once you boast of them… they vanish away that very instant.

      Because despite this
      truth they continue
      to cling on to a clear high
      estimate of themselves

      • THE LORD found it fit to
      • frankly and categorically
      • tell them they are
      • wretched and miserable
      • because of their real poverty, blindness and nakedness.

      Concerning their poverty

      • THE LORD tells them
      • “to buy (of HIM) gold refined by fire, that they may be rich.”
      • THE LORD still sees them as poor

      because
      much, much and very
      much is yet
      to be desired in
      them of THE FAITH
      >>>T#003

      • THAT comes from hearing THE WORD of GOD
      • because they bombard and are regularly bombarded with their denominational doctrines
      • that make their converts/members ADVENTISTS, BAPTISTS, BAPTI-COSTALS, CALVINISTS, CHARISMATICS, DATING DAAN, EVANGELICALS, METHODISTS, PRESBYTERIANS, MORMONS, ONENESS, TRINITARIANS, PENTECOSTALS, WESLEYANS
      • and those thousand of other names
      • instead of just DISCIPLES of THE CHRIST

      >>Matthew 28: 19-20

      • as THE LORD prescribed !!!

      They ought to LIVE
      THE FAITH

      resulting from
      THE FAITH ON 

      THE LORDSHIP &
      THE CHRISTHOOD
      of JESUS as TRIED

      (>>1stPeter 1:7)!!!

      • They are deceived mistaking
      • their man-made-and-imposed-doctrines
      • for THE FAITH on trial.
      • What a pitiful situation!!!

      Concerning their blindness

      • THE LORD tells them
      • anoint their eyes with eyesalve, that they may see.”

      They must have
      THE INDWELLING
      >>>T#029

      • and REVELATION of The Holy Spirit Himself

      LEADING them
      >>>T#030

      • and never again just according to what
      • they have agreed upon
      • among themselves!
      • They are actually merely walking
      • in the light of THOSE NICOLAITANS
      • they are following!!!!

      In their preachings, the people they are beholden to

      are more often and more cautiously quoted

      • than THE SCRIPTURE ITSELF.
      • They don’t realize how THE WORD ONLY
      • can change in REPENTANCE
      • --- attitudes / behaviors
      • --- and even their eternal DESTINIES
      • and of their hearers!

      Concerning their nakedness

      • THE CHRIST tells them to procure of HIM
      • white raiment"
      • that they may be clothe and
      • that the shame of their nakedness do not appear.”

      They are to put value into
      the truth obtaining in

      and teach and obey
      the implied commands in

      >>Galatians 3:27.

      • This is the white raiment.
      • We may be working for THE LORD
      • but our behaviors, methodologies and teachings may not be according to HIS WORD!
      • For as long as things are done to stand by their group’s teachings & methodologies
      • (and GOD cannot be deceived!),
      • if they spring from a motive that is even meaner than this,
      • the more it cannot be counted as covering for their nakedness.
      • THE LORD desires that we have a clean purpose and a clean motive

      to work directly

      for HIM as our
      CHIEF-PRIEST

      • and not via organizations
      • as we are already wearing HIM
      • since we got ourselves baptized by immersion 
      • for the remission of our sinnings
      • for we are all sons of GOD ... through THE FAITH in THE CHRIST JESUS; for as many as were baptized into THE CHRIST have put on or are wearing THE CHRIST; there be no more Jew nor Greek, there be no more male or female, for you are all one in THE CHRIST JESUS's LORDSHIP & CHRISTHOOD!!!
      • >>Galatians 3:26-28
      • and not for any other PURPOSE(!) and MODE(!) ... PLEASE!

      Working for their organization
      and defending their

      behaviors & actuations,
      methodologies
      and doctrines is not at all
      working for HIM even.

      • HE is not in these kinds of work
      • even if they all mean them for HIM.

      After the rebukes

      • THE LORD shows us
      • that it is because HE loves them
      • that HE rebukes and chastens them
      • in this manner.
      • The members of this church in which they are in
      • ---- are therefore told as-in at boiling temperature
      • in >>Revelation 3:19
      • because HE is saying this without delay:

      “Behold I stand at the door
      and knock. If any man hears
      my voice and open the door,
      I will come in to him and
      will sup with him,
      and he with ME.”----
      >>Revelation 3:20.

      • This verse is a verse addressed to members of this church
      • NOT TO ANY UNBELIEVER, as NICOLAITANS
      • in this church all-the-time use .... to challenge ....
      • prospects of their evangelization efforts
      • to become their converts!

      The door here does not
      refer to the door of
      an unbeliever’s heart

      BUT to the door of
      their church

      • whose men-substituted, men-added, men-subtracted and men-imposed standards and norms for fellowship therein
      • are used as strict access to their church
      • Because of that
      • …. the awful thing is told them

      ---- THE LORD is outside
      the door to their church.

      • And naturally so, since they have for a long time already vehemently declared unashamed
      • it is their church and
      • therefore not HIS CHURCH!

      If any man ”

      • --- these three (3) words --- show
      • that the opening of the door
      • is an individual-personal matter EXCLUSIVE
      • for all of them who are MEMBERS and LEADERS

      of this church in the
      judgment of the common
      people or in the discernment
      of their majority
      when they joined them there!

      • They are all told to be zealous and repent.
      • THE OVERCOMERS are the zealous
      • who repent among them!
      • THE LORD is coming any time
      • and scheduled to sup with THE OVERCOMERS
      • from these churches!!!

      HOW ABOUT YOU?

      • Are you still not convinced you are in the church in the judgment-discernment-opinions [ONLY]
      • of the common people
      • the church according to the belief of the majority you have found yourself among???
      • or The Church in Laodicea as
      • The Holy Spirit found fit to get recorded as history
      • written in advance in A.D. 96 yet!

      AND is WHAT

      IS sadly OBTAINING

      IN OUR MIDST NOW!!!



      REMEMBER,
      CHRISTIANS in this
      particular period of
      our time can only find
      ourselves among:

      1.    THE CHURCH in Thyatira --- The Roman Catholic Church


      2.    THE CHURCH in Sardis ----- The Anglican Church and The Church of Germany


      3.    THE CHURCH in Philadelphia --- The Church that has remained an organism and not an organization ... consisting of ALL OVERCOMERS in these times of ours
      • THE ONE CHURCH ruled by THEOCRACY on a personal & individual basis
      • irregardless of whatever form of government the nations they are in --- have --- democratic, republican, federal, socialist, communistic, capitalistic, republican, parliamentary, etc....


      4.    THE CHURCH in Laodicea --- The already existing Different Denominations All Around Us
      • and those still to find way into being established
      • even unto the very time JESUS COMES!

      WHEN you are

      A MEMBER
      of a church now(!),

      you can only be in
      Thyatira, Sardis or Laodicea.

      WHERE ARE YOU???



      For you to KNOW by
      discerning THIS
      in your spirit!


      >>REVELATION 1:3 – “Blessed is he/she
      • who reads and
      • them who hear
      • THE WORDS OF THE PROPHESY,
      • and HEED
      • the things WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN IT
      • for the time is near.”

      --- JESUS THE CHRIST at the opening of THIS BOOK OF REVELATION!


      >>REVELATION 22:7 – “And behold I am coming quickly. Blessed is he/she 

      • who HEEDS THE WORDS OF THE PROPHESY OF THIS BOOK.

      --- JESUS THE CHRIST at the closing of THIS BOOK OF REVELATION!
