Shalom brothers and sisters, in today's society we come to find many churches all claiming to be of the Most High and preaching the truth of the gospel. When it comes to questioning the traditional beliefs that these State corporations are founded upon, you then get the cold shoulder treatment and slowly find yourself as an outcast. Then you get the "o you in a cult, you know such and such crazy he or she don't do this or that", "they must be the devil girl cause they don't go to church",. This is the wide belief in which most say in regards to people whom they don't know nor have ever sat down to see where they were coming from. Just simply because they operate not according to the tradition of men, but rather according to the laws and statutes and commandments of the Most High, are they then seen as not saved and going to hell. The belief today is that you must go to church in order to be saved, so where going to get into that doctrine and discover if whether or not it is true, or false. So lets dive right into the book of scriptures.
Question: How are we built?
Ephesians 2:20 - And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
FYI: The foundation is the basis on which something is grounded it sustains the building. So as the foundation sustains the building, the word of the Most High which was declared by the apostles and prophets, sustains the faith of all believers. The Most High laid the foundation by them in which Christ is the foundation or stone in which the building rests, and the stone of the union. So this quote on quote Church is not built upon a literal building, but rather it is built upon belief in Christ as spoken of by the prophets and apostles, as a spiritual temple consecrated to the Most High. See the corner stone was a stone of double size at the corner, which became a part of both walls thus joining all believers together in the building. By the apostles and prophets ministry and living example, with Christ being the subject of their ministry, because their doctrine or message was one.
FYI: So by being spiritually minded and devoted unto the laws and statutes and commandments, are we as holy temples unto the Most High through Christ. Thus making our body the dwelling place or house of the Most High, by the Spirit, not by a literal building, our body is the temple not a literal building, for the precept saith - 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? The body is for the Most High, it is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore it is never to be made an instrument of sin. Your soul must be united to Christ by way of faith, in doing so you become a member of his spiritual body, not a member of 501c3 building called a church.
Question: What did the Apostle Paul say unto us in regards to our bodies?
Romans 12:1 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
FYI: As in times past, the Levites were in charge of the temple of the Most High which was a literal building in Jerusalem. It was their duty to sacrifice the bodies of animals, as it was holy and acceptable unto the Most High, for the sins of the people, it was there reasonable service. So now by the Most High sending his Son into the world to offer himself up as a sacrifice for the sins of the people, no longer are we required today to offer up animal sacrifices, for Christ was our sacrifice. So as we were dead in our trespasses and sins, the Most High imputed them upon Christ just as the High Priest would upon the body of the animal. So that now by the Spirit would we have life unto righteousness, thus crucifying our fleshly desires so that we no longer live after the body which is flesh, but rather the Spirit which is life eternal. So now, we consecrate ourselves wholly to the spiritual service of the Most High, as in times past, the sacrifices were presented before the altar, now with our body being the temple, the Spirit dwelleth in us thus giving us life, therefore we are not dead sacrifices as was before, but are now living sacrifices.
FYI: You must surrender yourself wholly unto the righteousness of the Most High, forsaking your own, for this is your reasonable service. The sacrifice upon the altar was an outward act, in which it didn't purge the heart of the people from sin, because they still had a conscience of sin. This is why the consecration of our body, begins as an act of the mind and the heart, which are inwardly in our parts, which we use them to reason, thus being reasonable service. A sacrifice is dead to sin and now lives - Romans 6:7 - For he that is dead is freed from sin. Romans 6:11 - Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So if you are dead to sin you shouldn't be living in sin anymore, committing sin defiles the temple, thus making you unholy and not acceptable unto the Most High. So go back and ask your pastor how can he teach you that you can be a saved sinner? How can he teach you that it is ok to commit sin just pray about it and you'll be forgiven? How can he teach you that God knows your heart he knows your human, so he expects you to sin every now and then? See you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building.
Ephesians 2:21 - In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
FYI: In whom is in reference to Christ himself, we as being several parts, are all united together in him thus forming one holy temple in the Most High. Now if through Christ we are all united to form one holy temple, then for a church to be the body of Christ there would have to be more than one Son. Now if Mary didn't give birth to a church, then what Son is being worshipped inside of these religious churches? We are to grow in Christ unto the Most High as a holy temple right, so who are they growing inside of if the Most High is not a building? If in Acts 17:24 it says - God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands, then for them to say their church is the house of God denotes another God who they are worshipping. Are you seeing the Roman Catholic deception? One key thing in this precept that is missed, is the word "groweth", in which biology sense is the process of an individual organism growing organically, thus representing something living that increases.
FYI: A literal building doesn't grow on its on nor increase, it passes through no blood, nor is there blood in it. In Leviticus 17:11 it says "For the life of the flesh is in the blood", in which in the blood is life, thus having blood within us allows our body to groweth, as where a literal building cannot do so. So knowing that, you can understand now that the building which groweth, is speaking of a literal body, not a church building. A church building cannot receive the seal of the covenant but a human being can, for what is the seal that draws us in - Ephesians 2:13 - But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. The blood of Christ is the seal of the covenant which brings us in unto the Most High, the Spirit is what seals our faith. See you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building.
Question: How does the bible say we must worship the Most High?
John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
FYI: The Most High is full of all spiritual perfections, power, understanding, wisdom, holiness, and love. Therefore as worshippers of him, our worship should be suitable to his nature based upon his laws and statutes and commandments. We should worship him having faith and love and wisdom in holiness, thus governing all of our thoughts, words, and actions. In order to worship him in Spirit, you must have the Spirit of the Most High, otherwise you are not a child of the Most High, but rather a bastard who has no father to chastise you and correct you. If the Most High doesn't dwell inside of temples made by the hands of men, then that means his Spirit is not present in temples made by the hands of men. So if we must worship him in Spirit and truth, how can we attend a literal building called a church made by the hands of men, which is not a possessor of his Spirit? Then this should open your understanding to realize, these people are not quote on quote, "saved' inside of these churches, they deceived, that's why you have to come out of religion and be ye separate. Most are literally worshipping in vain after the Roman Catholic Doctrine and mandate that worship unto God must be done in the Church, which they were speaking literally of the Holy Roman Church.
FYI: When a rift was made within the church, those who left the Catholic Church broke away physically from the church, but didn't do so spiritually because they were still bound to Sunday worship and the pagan holidays and the Roman Catholic Doctrine of those worshipping God must attend church. They actually helped perpetuate this deception of having to go to church in order to be a worshipper of God the father and Christ the Son, or otherwise your going to be damned. They used fear and their military power to imprison those who wouldn't comply, and to torture them until they conformed in some cases, but in most cases they murdered them. They instituted this belief or doctrine of having to go to church or else face the consequences, solely operating in the Spirit of Satan. This helped satan mentally enslave a lot of minds and sink them into unconsciousness, solely out of fear, and as a result, you see in society that there are hundreds of churches of different religions all claiming to worship the same God, now that's deception and confusion in itself. See you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building. Now you should understand that the body is the temple of the Most High, not a literal building, lets further prove this some more.
Question: If the Most High doesn't dwell within temples (churches) made by the hands of men, then where does he dwell?
Ephesians 2:22 - In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
FYI: In time past, the Most High would commune with the people from above the mercy seat, between the two cherubims which were upon the ark of the testimony. Here the precept is letting you know that, that the people are being builded together in the Spirit, which was what the prophets and apostles were doing by teaching the people of the truth. Thus doing so by the Spirit of the Most High, was molding them and shaping their hearts into position to be able to receive the Spirit of the Most High. So they were actually being constructed as a dwelling place, so that the Most High by his Spirit, could dwell in them as his habitation. Which again is why the precepts said - 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Now you see how this all fits together, now you can understand a little better Ephesians 2:21 that we went over earlier which said " groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord". You are his temple, but if you come to understand this, then the Elite powers to be can no longer make billions off of your ignorance by way of religion. Your states would lose money big time if you were conscious, they hope and pray for you to stay ignorant because ignorance is not bliss, its profitable. See you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building. Now you should understand that the body is the temple of the Most High, not a literal building, lets further prove this some more.
Question: What else does the bible say?
1 Corinthians 3:9 - For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
FYI: For we, is in reference to Apostle Paul and Apollos, are labourers together with God, is identifying who they are serving under whom it is given unto them by grace, to be fit for the position of leadership. They were fellow-laborers belonging to the Most High, they were employed by him which makes them of the Most High, not with the Most High, understand the language of the text. They were fellow laborers with each other, who were of the Most High, same as you see brothers today who are teaching the people the word of the Most High, they fellow laborers with each other. The Corinthian assembly was the Most High's field in which they labored, thus making them his husbandry. By saying ye are God's building, which mind you he is talking to people a body of people, not a literal building, which that should let you know that the temple of the Most High, dwells within the people, not a literal building.
FYI: So by saying ye are God's building, identifies their job as being builders, and the people are the building they build, which the people are not a literal building, they human beings, thus proving more the temple of the Most High dwell within the people, not a literal building. So those who are bringing you the truth of the Most High, are operating as employees who are employed in husbandry (tillage) and building. See you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building. Now you should understand that the body is the temple of the Most High, not a literal building, lets further prove this some more. So now lets get into the precept they use to format or concrete their doctrine of church period, and you will easily be able to see how deceived these people are.
Question: What did Christ tell Peter?
Matthew 16:18 - And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
FYI: This precept is one of the most heated debated ones of all time, which really isn't that hard to comprehend. They get into this big debate over well what does such and such mean in the Greek, when really it was the Syrian language Christ spoke in, so that kills a lot of the debate. Remember how back in Ephesians 2:20 it talked about - "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets", here its simply letting you know that Peter is a piece of the building as where Christ is the rock and foundation, other words chief corner stone as you learned earlier. This has absolutely nothing to do with a literal building of a church, the Temple was the place of worship which was in Jerusalem. Christ testified that he came not to do his own Will, but the Will of the Father, so where in the Old Testament did it say he would setup a literal building called Church? Nowhere, the word church is not even mentioned in the Old Testament, this alone should let you know it was added 350 years after Christ had walked the earth, thus showing you there was an agenda behind its injection into the bible.
Question: What is the quote on quote church talked about in Matthew 16:18, was it a literal building or the people?
1 Peter 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
FYI: Ye also, is in reference to people, not a literal building, so the people are as lively stones just as Peter was. His name Peter meant a rock or stone, upon the faith which he confessed of Christ being the anointed One, would Christ build his foundation. So if faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen, then how could faith be a literal building if a literal building is seen? Its not, which goes to show you the ignorance of such a doctrine in trying to take something figuratively, and base it off of their Masonic Mason fascination of the Temple in Jerusalem, to be as if its talking about a literal building. This precept shows our purpose as priests placed in the spiritual temple, that we should serve him with a spiritual worship, that is, with holiness and righteousness, but as the temple, so is the priesthood built upon Christ, in who alone all our spiritual offerings are accepted. When something is lively that means it is living, and when something is a stone, that means it is dead. So as being lively stones, we are born again by baptism into Christ's death and rising up in the newness of life walking after the Spirit of holiness. So being built up, we should be in union with each other, there is no union in a literal building because they are not after the Most High's spirit, but rather some man's ignorance which is why you see so many churches.
FYI: We being a spiritual house, are a dwelling place for the Most High, by way of the Spirit which is how he dwells in us. Through our faith and obedience he abides in us - 1 John 3:24 - And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Where in the precept did it say, and he that goes to church, dwelleth in him and he in them? Where in the precept did it say, "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by being baptized and speaking in tongues? Where did the precept say, "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by going to church? Nowhere does it say any of those things, those are doctrines of men that are played upon the emotions of the people. See you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building. Now you should understand that the body is the temple of the Most High, not a literal building.
Question: So whats the last precept they use on the people?
Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
FYI: This is very basic, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together", then its followed by a comma, so what was said before then to lead to that statement? Hebrews 10:24 - And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: So its saying let us each care for others and exhort others to love and to do good works both by word and example. When you exhort you warn them to be careful, have their thoughts set upon the commandments, don't focus upon things unprofitable because they could become a hindrance unto you. You warn them to maintain in good works, this being done out of unfeigned care, influences others to maintain and be influenced by love and gratitude and rooted in the soil of prayer. Having this state of mind fixed on one another, you operate in unison understanding the needs and wants of your fellow brothers and sisters, mutual bonds are formatted after this manner. Instead of focusing upon provoking hate, provoke others unto love, this is how you help them so that they don't become hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. So now lets go back to Hebrews 10:25.
Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
FYI: "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together". You just read how they were to love each other and maintain good works and exhort one another and work together in unison, and provoke each other unto love instead of hate, so that they don't become hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. You do this by gathering together or meeting with fellow believers, this is not talking about going to church, for what does the Christ say in regards to meeting - Matthew 18:20 - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Where in the precept did Christ say where two or three are gathered together in my church, there am I in the midst of them? Nowhere, so if there are a few people maybe just a husband and wife or a couple of friends whether in the midst of their home or public, who are gathered together to worship Christ, he by way of the Spirit is there to quicken their prayers, guide their counsels, and answer their petitions. Like in 1 Corinthians 5:3 when the Apostle Paul said, for verily, as absent in body, meaning though he is not gathered together with them physically, but present in the Spirit, meaning in the same union, have judged already, which he did so in mind thought and will, after the power of the Spirit, as though he was present.
FYI: When you read John 4:1-2, you see Christ didn't literally baptize anyone, but having the Spirit of the Most High, he administered the honour upon his disciples, by employing them to baptize. What day was approaching? The destruction of Jerusalem was approaching, so telling them they need not to forsake gathering to uplift and help one another, was of urgency so that none fall by way of sin as the day was approaching. But these religious institutions primarily the Roman Catholic Church cause they started this doctrine, as a means for collecting money from the people so that the priests could make a living, it was really highway robbery. Same thing being applied today, stop going to these churches and see wont the pastor have to get a job and work like the sheep, and you'll find out all the times he been telling you to trust in the Most High to help you, you'll find him bout to lose his mind at the thought of his home being foreclosed or car repossessed or lights about to get cut off. You'll find out he doesn't even believe in the Most High! So once again, you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building. Now you should understand that the body is the temple of the Most High, not a literal building.
Question: So is the church a member or the people?
Ephesians 5:30 - For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
FYI: Mary didn't give birth to no "Church", she gave birth to a Son, does a church have flesh, does it have bones? Absolutely not, your a member of the body of Christ by the Spirit that dwells within you - Romans 8:11 - But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Your body is a spiritual house consecrated to the Most High, your members in particular, in which a literal building doesn't have members cause it doesn't have a body, so how can a church be the body of Christ? It can't, folks don't let religious deception shake you up, people will say something of everything about you and label you every name but the one your parents gave you, simply because you don't go to a church. Ask them what was the name of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Noah and Moses and Isaiah church, they can't give you a name because they never had one. So once again, you get false teaching as such when you dwelling outside of the place where the Spirit is given, in which as you see now, it doesn't dwell inside of a literal building, but rather within your body, in which you being a possessor of the Spirit of the Most High, dwell within the body of Christ as a member, not a member of a 501c3 Church building. Now you should understand that the body is the temple of the Most High, not a literal building.
Question: What did Christ tell the people in regards to himself?
John 2:19 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
FYI: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Question: So what did the people think in regards to hearing him say this, what did the people believe he was talking about?
Matthew 26:61 - And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Mark 14:58 - We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
Matthew 27:40 - And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Mark 15:29 - And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
John 2:20 - Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
FYI: Forty and six years. It had been forty-six years since Herod the Great began the reconstruction of the temple, and it was not yet entirely completed. When Christ was on trial before the Sanhedrin, these words were brought up as blasphemy. But as you can see, they thought he was speaking of a literal building such as the Temple which was destroyed in 70 AD upon Roman invasion. They couldn't comprehend that higher Christ was bringing, they thought all along the Temple was a literal building which it was, but so they thought because they didn't understand who Christ was nor his purpose, so they knew not what he was bringing.
Question: What was the Temple Christ was talking about, was it a literal building?
John 2:21 - But he spake of the temple of his body.
FYI: His body, just like we speak today informing people of the body as being the temple of the Spirit of the Most High, the people ridicule us simply because they understand not who Christ is nor higher learning. 1 Corinthians 6:15 - Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. Where in the precept did it say know ye not that the church is the members of Christ? Nowhere, false Roman Catholic doctrine. So the doctrine of not going to church you going to hell or you must go to church or you not saved, is false doctrine to the highest degree. Shalom brothers and sisters!
