What do you truly believe in? Don’t you believe in becoming children of salvation and the blood of forgiveness by following the recorded content of the holy Word? If so, since your salvation and forgiveness of sins are naturally found within the Word, it is only natural and fitting that we should take the Word as our mirror, standard, belief, reliance, and center.
However, the standards of you, the churches you attend, and your pastors all claim to teach and learn under the pretext of being centered on God, the Word, Christ, and love. But in reality, these are mere titles and pretenses. Instead of being God-centered, they are centered on denominationalism created by humanism, reeking with corruption and spreading all kinds of stench throughout the world through an orthodox denomination. Instead of being Christ-centered, they are centered on worship designed to steal tithes and offerings meant for the sheep. Instead of being centered on God’s temple, they are centered on the buildings called churches. Instead of being centered on the love of the cross, they disgrace the love of the cross—which involves sacrificing even one’s life—by engaging in mere social service and ethical values that are no different from the ordinary love and kindness practiced by worldly companies and people, boasting and advertising their abominable service and relief efforts. Isn’t this the faith of hypocrites? This is a matter that concerns your spirit and life. Do not take this lightly but examine it clearly and soberly based on the Word.
The Word is God. Because of this holy Word, we can receive the grace worthy of reaching salvation. Do you truly believe with the Word as your center? Or are you centered on an orthodox denomination that, reeking with corruption and spreading all kinds of stench throughout the world, has been created by those who claim to teach about God and Christ but have instead caused the holy name of God and the love of the cross to be disgraced and ridiculed? Now is the time to turn back and reflect. Those who put forward denominational orthodoxy instead of the Word as their center, regardless of their status, are people who think they can reach salvation through mere words and theories, thoroughly denying the love of the cross. This is because, without being centered on the Word, the grace of God that enables one to practice the love of the cross can never come upon them.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.(1 Corinthians 1 : 17)
This is because, through the example and model of feeding, providing for, and caring for the poor and pitiful sheep, God desires to cultivate a heart of the cross’s love, resembling His divine nature, worthy of attaining salvation, by serving, cherishing, and caring for one another, and to proclaim this example and model to the whole world. Yet, the orthodox denomination, centered on ideology, was cunningly developed and perpetuated to steal the tithes and offerings meant for the sheep.
The shameful state of the orthodox denomination, so corrupt that its decay and evil deeds have surpassed all limits, has become an object of ridicule and scorn among worldly people rather than an example and model. Its corruption has reached the throne of heaven, awaiting only the day of judgment. This is the sad reality of today’s Christianity.
In an era where even worldly politicians illegally spend billions in campaign funds to become members of parliament, the world now governs such crimes and sins. How much worse, then, are those who steal the tithes and offerings meant to set an example of feeding, providing for, and caring for the poor and pitiful sheep, using these funds to build their worldly power? Those who spend billions in propaganda funds to secure the position of presbytery chairman, becoming the so-called ‘head’ of the orthodox denomination through the power of money—what benefit are they seeking by competing for this position with such vast sums?
Because such people have become the masters of the orthodox denomination, all kinds of corrupt depravity, illegality, falsehood, and evil under the pretext of orthodoxy have reached the pinnacle of their limits. Is this not why the day of judgment will separate the wheat from the tares?
The doctrine of the orthodox denomination operates as follows: it demands membership fees and offerings from all prayer houses and churches within its jurisdiction. If a church or prayer house does not pay the membership fee and join, it is unconditionally branded as heretical. This is the law of the orthodox denomination and the standard they use to define heresy.
Furthermore, they advertise to all believers that non-joined prayer houses are heretical, preventing people from attending there. This is the abominable core of the orthodox denomination, tailored to the materialistic era, and the definition and judgment of heresy created by those who wield the power of money. Because of this cunning and filthy core, yesterday’s heretics can become today’s true churches of the orthodox denomination through the power of money, as easily as flipping a hand. This is the reality of the orthodox denomination’s core in today’s Christianity, swayed by the power of money. What do they do with the astronomical tithes and offerings collected from countless churches and prayer houses under the pretext of membership and monthly fees?
By incorporating all kinds of sorcery and divination practiced by shamans and idol-worshippers, they disgrace the holy Spirit and tongues of God, treating the filthy and vile predictions of demons as prophecy and teaching the sorcery of devils as if it were the spiritual power of God. The common trait of these heretics is that they deceive believers under the guise and banner of the Trinity doctrine and the orthodox denomination.
This is the primary reason why believers who trust in the orthodox denomination rather than the Word are defenseless against falling into heresy. While outwardly claiming to be centered on the Word and God, they distort the essence of the Word with a thoroughly corrupt orthodox denomination and a humanistic Trinity doctrine established to steal the tithes and offerings meant for feeding, providing for, and serving the sheep, rationalizing it with mere words and theories.
The fundamental reason all heretics today uniformly uphold the Trinity doctrine is to use it as a pretext to eliminate the example and model of practicing the love of the cross—feeding, providing for, caring for, cherishing, and serving one another.
To cultivate a heart of the cross’s love, resembling God’s divine nature worthy of attaining salvation, through serving, cherishing, and caring for one another in acts of service and relief, the tithes and offerings meant to feed the poor and pitiful sheep as an example and model are instead used as tools and wealth to satisfy their selfish desires. To justify this, they teach sermons and interpretations filled with mere words and theories, eliminating the example and model worldwide under the pretext of humanistic denominationalism, church-centeredness, altar-centeredness, and worship-centeredness.
By prioritizing moral, ethical, and social service and relief, they disguise the love of the cross—which involves sacrificing even one’s life—with superficial appearances and words, turning the ostentatious and hypocritical acts of believers into a faith of works. By embracing materialism alongside the world and incorporating heresy to serve God, haven’t they already strayed from the Word, bearing fruitless faith? Now is the time to examine this based on the Word.
Can you attain salvation through a denomination?
Can you attain salvation by merely speaking of the Trinity?
The denominational and ideological center, rather than the Word, ignores the supreme law and commandment, forgetting the shepherd’s duty to proclaim the love of the cross worldwide through the example of feeding, providing for, and sharing with the sheep. Isn’t it a faith without example, led by pastors who are no different from thieves, stealing and coveting tithes and offerings to satisfy their selfish desires? Or, while claiming to be God-centered and Word-centered, isn’t it an abominable faith that opposes and becomes an enemy of God’s holy will and Word? Now is the time to examine this soberly.
While failing to act on the Word’s example of feeding and caring for the sheep, they are tamed by materialism and heresy, serving God alongside the world. Isn’t the most dangerous devil and Satan within us, distorting and perverting the Word, believing in their humanistic assertions and interpretations as they please? Now is the time to turn back and reflect.
Why do you prioritize denomination-centered doctrines that cannot lead to salvation, instead of practicing the Word that commands you to live out the love of the cross? Why do you uphold the Trinity, a doctrine created by the heretical religion of Roman Catholicism (Catholicism) that worships idols, instead of following the supreme law and commandment of the Word to serve the poor and pitiful brothers as yourself? (Reference: The Heretical Doctrine of Christianity, the Trinity)
How much of the faith you believe in is true, and how much is false? This platform, as a mirror of the Word, reveals clearly what your true state is, what the reality and substance of the faith you believe in are, and what true faith is, guiding you to bear the true fruit of God, worthy of being reborn in true faith bearing the fruit of Christ’s salvation, by spreading the true light of the Word to the whole world, all believers, and all faiths.
Is your faith merely for listening to words and theories, chasing fleeting worldly hopes and desires to comfort a life weary from worldly struggles? If so, you are irrelevant to God’s holy will, ignoring your own cross while seeking only salvation and forgiveness through the blood of the cross’s love. You are a shameless person who, while claiming to believe, disgraces the love and sacrifice of the cross, becoming its enemy and adversary.
Most people, prioritizing mere words and theories, deny the love of the cross and disgrace the supreme law and commandment. Far from setting an example, they boast with harsh, reckless, and arrogant words, turning curses and pride into faith, God, and Christ.
Thus, they make the Lord’s blood and sacrifice worth less than filth to worldly people, using God’s holy name as a tool to satisfy their greedy desires and seeking only blessings and divination like Esau, foolish and deluded.
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.(Hebrews 12 : 17)
The faith of works refers to the righteousness of Gentiles, that is, the righteousness that anyone in the unbelieving world practices. In other words, it is not the righteousness derived from the love of the cross, which involves sacrificing even one’s life, but the moral and ethical human righteousness that anyone can perform.
Even worldly companies engage in social service and relief to boast about and advertise their businesses. By stealing the tithes and offerings meant to feed the sheep, they perform relief and service that amounts to a mere 3% to 5% of their budget, mere pretense and hypocrisy, as if it were the love of the cross that sacrifices even life itself. This is what is called human righteousness, the righteousness of pagans, deceiving God and merely deceiving believers.
Tamed by the corrupted habit of serving God alongside materialism and the world, these faiths are governed by self-centered judgments and interpretations. Their beliefs, churches, shepherds, and leaders inevitably contradict or oppose the content of the Word. Since they believe based on arbitrary interpretations tailored to their preferences, their selfish faiths and beliefs pursue their own benefits and interests. Due to teachings and learnings dominated by forced and false claims, centered only on words and theories without the love or example of the cross, these churches multiply heresies upon heresies. The faith of works recorded in the Scriptures refers precisely to these people.
To those who rationalize their failure to practice the love of the cross by labeling those who do as engaging in special ministry or the faith of works, relying only on words and theories: Do you truly feel no shred of conscience?
What does the moral and ethical love that everyone in the world practices have to do with salvation? To justify their thieving worship, they wear long, seemingly holy robes, speak in kind and gentle tones, and don traditional attire, accompanied by choirs and offering committees that aid their theft. Is this the service of Christ, bearing the hope of Christ, following the love of the cross worthy of attaining salvation? Or is picking up trash and street camping to boast about their church a service of Christ, fulfilling the love of the cross worthy of attaining salvation? Or is the relief and service, a mere 3% to 5% of the tithes and offerings meant to feed the sheep, performed to boast about their church and ministry, akin to what worldly companies do for their image and advertising, the love of the cross worthy of attaining salvation? Or is the service and relief of cunning, duplicitous people who pretend to be charitable organizations feeding the poor and pitiful while satisfying their selfish desires and greed with countless donations the love of the cross that sacrifices even life? Or is the abominable faith of those who smugly donate outdated clothes and shoes they wouldn’t wear themselves, as if practicing Christ’s love, the love of Christ? Or is the faith of pastors at the pulpit, dressed in long, seemingly holy robes, speaking in kind and gentle tones, whose outer and inner selves differ, whose words and actions contradict, always driven by self-interest—envying all there is to envy, coveting all there is to covet, hating all there is to hate, repenting and reflecting only to repeat their sins—bearing a faith of pride and conviction free of conscience, a reborn faith?
Rather than a beautiful life bearing the love of the cross worthy of attaining salvation, they call the social service and relief—mere pretense and hypocrisy for boasting and advertising, practiced by idol-worshippers or anyone in the world—the faith of works. Since those who are not reborn claim to have received the Holy Spirit and anointing, isn’t it only natural that they lack evidence and fruit? If they were the fruit, possessing the Spirit of God that comprehends all things as the Word says, they wouldn’t need to read this text, as they would naturally possess all discernment and wisdom, raising the dead, healing the sick, and manifesting God’s glory and miracles across the earth.
For the Word of God is not mere words but power. Due to their persistent habit of sinning despite regret, driven by self-interest, most have become faiths that treat sin lightly or boldly, armed with excuses and justifications.
Thus, driven by worldly, greedy desires, satisfaction, and ideals, their faiths are marked by endless envy, jealousy, hatred, disputes, slander, pride, falsehood, scheming, conflict, and division. These are faiths that rely on cunning tactics to deceive others with smiles hiding wicked hearts, holding titles and positions. Most are believers whose actions differ inside and outside the church, with words and deeds in conflict. This is the fruit and evidence of Christianity.
Therefore, heed the call to flee from heresies filled with strife and conflict. Because they lack the love of the cross, envy, hatred, disputes, scheming, slander, falsehood, pride, and lust endlessly repeat.
Thus, a church without the love of the cross is a satanic assembly masquerading as a Christian one, led by antichrists posing as shepherds, driven by selfish desires, stealing tithes and offerings, and merely a tool to fulfill worldly desires, ideals, and ambitions through the faith of works.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.(Romans 16 : 17~19)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.(2 Peter 2 : 1~3)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.(Matthew 7 : 15)
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.(1 John 4 : 1)
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.(Revelation 2 : 9)
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:(Revelation 2 :2)
Thus, because they try to serve God alongside the world and materialism, teaching worldly doctrines, worldly inspiration, and worldly common sense, they cannot fully follow God’s holy Word and inevitably become enemies and adversaries of God’s Word.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.(Matthew 6 : 24)
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(1 Timothy 6 : 9~10)
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.(James 4 : 3~4)
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.(1 John 2 : 15~17)
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.(Matthew 6 : 31~33)(Luke 12 : 29~30)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.(Romans 1 : 21~25)
Due to those who try to serve God alongside the world and materialism, the church and its shepherds have been increasingly corrupted, perpetuating falsehood upon falsehood, illegality, corruption, depravity, and evil deeds. Because they lack the love of the cross, their members are constantly driven by self-interest, ceaselessly engaging in envy, jealousy, hatred, disputes, falsehood, slander, scheming, division, and arguments.
Thus, trapped in a vicious cycle of sinning, regretting, and sinning again, their actions differ inside and outside the church. Contrary to their outward smiles, their inner intentions are different, and their words and actions inevitably conflict. Most churches are dominated, taught, and learned by hypocritical, duplicitous faiths, masquaraded with cunning human tactics disguised as outward behavior, harboring double-mindedness.
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.(Colossians 2 : 20~23)
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.(Luke 6 : 39~45)
The reality of today’s Christianity is that believers, chasing worldly ideals, hopes, and desires that cannot lead to salvation, are unable to see the kingdom of salvation. Because they try to serve God alongside the world and materialism, their faith and beliefs inevitably stray from the content of the Word, becoming adversaries of God. Due to serving God alongside the world and materialism, corruption, falsehood, excuses, and assertions arise. Thus, the claims of human flesh are called deceit, vanity, and craftiness.
By chasing worldly ideals, dreams, hopes, and desires, people cannot follow the love of the cross, which involves sacrificing even life itself. Teachers, under the pretext of religious traditions, practices, and inherited customs, promote religious acts that are mere outward forms and appearances, along with moral and ethical values—the ordinary love and kindness that anyone in the world practices—as if they were God’s faith following the love of the cross. These are called the faith of works.
Serving God alongside the world and materialism makes it impossible to practice the love of the cross or follow God’s Word. The tithes and offerings, meant to proclaim the beautiful love of the cross through feeding, providing for, and sharing with the poor and pitiful sheep, are used by selfish individuals as tools and wealth to satisfy their personal desires. This is the perpetuation of excuses upon excuses and falsehood upon falsehood, a corrupted religious tradition, practice, and inheritance that has strayed from the Word.
The tithes and offerings were established to show an example of feeding, providing for, and sharing with the poor and pitiful sheep across the earth, fostering mutual care, cherishing, and service. Yet, thieves disguised as sheep have created seemingly holy, dignified, and solemn religious acts to steal these offerings.
Can the love of the cross, which involves sacrificing even one’s life, exist through forced and false outward forms and appearances? Because of the absence of love, don’t they continually sin—regretting yet envying, being jealous, hating, arguing, lying, being proud, and lusting?
They are slaves to sin, as their sins testify. How then can they call themselves shepherds of Christ bearing the love of the cross or Christians possessing the Spirit of Christ who have obtained salvation?
Is someone who does not practice the love of the cross a Christian? O people whose consciences are so barren that they cannot even reflect on their own pride! How dare they disgrace the love and blood of the cross with their words?
Those who try to serve God alongside the world and materialism are foolish, calling upon God’s holy name in vain for their greedy ideals and desires. They are adversaries and enemies of God, heretics, Pharisees, hypocrites, antichrists, and those who possess the faith of works.
