I do not believe in the institutions called church, I do not believe in any religion, I don’t believe in any of their many different divisions of denominations, I don’t believe in any pastor, prophet, bishop, evangelist, apostle, priest or minister, because my faith is not in man, religion, or some institutional building called church, my faith is in CHRIST JESUS alone.
My faith is focused on the exact image of truth in CHRIST JESUS, and my face is set like flint on the exact image of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS.
And I’ll be damned if I let man, worthless religion, and the worthless traditions of men, take me off course, and cause me to abandon the truth I know to be true, for a religious lie made to look like truth.
(JOHN 14:6-7) JESUS SAYS, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
Brothers and sisters, many of you read JESUS words, but you don’t really believe JESUS or his words, because many of you believe more in your pastor, some man or woman who calls themselves a prophet, apostle, bishop, priest, evangelist, and minister, than you believe in JESUS.
Many of you believe more in your many different religions, your many different divisions of denominations, and the worthless traditions of men, more than you believe in the absolute truth of GOD’S word in CHRIST JESUS.
Brothers and sisters, I don’t believe in the shadow of things to come, I believe in the exact image of truth which is CHRIST JESUS.
(Colossians 8-19) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
For in JESUS dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And you are complete in JESUS, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with JESUS in baptism, wherein also you are risen with JESUS through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.
