Today, is our 2nd lesson of our salvation package. The first was, understanding the Godhead. It is very important, to understand this lesson today. So, if you have not yet viewed understanding the Godhead, I highly recommend to you, that you do that, before this lesson if at all possible. Now, today our lesson is, True Christianity Versus False Christianity. Jesus Christ, foretold that in the end time, false Christianity would be rampant. Most people, would be deceived by it, and diverted from the true Christianity. The passage is, Matthew, chapter 24. The disciples, had asked Jesus, about the destruction of the Temple, that he had just told them about. So, he separated, and went over to the Mount of olives. As he sat upon the mount of olives, the disciples came unto Jesus privately saying; tell us, when will these things be, and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world? So, they asked these 2 very important questions. When they talk about the end of the world, this is the king’s James version of the Bible. The original Greek word there for world was a, I, o, n. Which every place else in Scripture was translated, "age". So, what they really asked Jesus was, what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age? Jesus spent the rest of the chapter answering these 2 important questions.

Let us notice now what he actually said to them. In verse number 4, Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ, and shall deceive many. The first thing that Jesus told them, in response to what will be the sign of your coming, and the end of the age was, be careful that no man deceive you. Because right at the end of the age, many shall come. They, are going to come in the name of Christianity. They, are going to come in my name, saying that they represent me. They, will deceive many. Now, that brings us to a very important question. When I saw this, I remembered saying unto the Lord. Lord, how are people going to know the difference, between true Christianity, and false Christianity? That, is what we are going to explain in this lesson today.

The prophecy, is revelation chapter 17, verse one through 2. Jesus, has given us this prophecy, because, it is absolutely essential, for us to be able, to tell the difference, between true Christianity, and false Christianity. Listen, to verse one, of Revelation 17. 

-And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth, have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth, have been made drunk, with the wine of her fornication.

The first thing to notice, in this passage is, that it is a decree of judgment. We will find out, that this is a judgment, that has not happened yet. It is yet to come. So, there is judgment coming against someone, or something. So, you and I, we need to know, what is this? Am I a part of it? I do not want to be, a part of something, that God has decreed judgment against. So, that is the first thing, that we are talking about. The judgment of the great whore. We, have to ask a question then. Who, is this harlot, this whore? We go on in verse number 3, and it states:

-So he carried me away in the spirit, into the wilderness: and I saw a woman, sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.

In Revelation chapter 13, there is a 7 headed, 10 horned beast. There, it tells us very clearly, that it is the antichrist, and, his one world governmental system. Well, it is the same thing here, in Revelation 17. Yet, we now have this harlot, riding on the back of this beast. This woman, represents a religion. So, what we see here, is an alliance, with the one world government, and the one world religion. They, will be together, ruling the world, and deceiving the world; just before the 2nd coming of Christ. Now, for the big question. Who, is this woman? She, is going to be judged, and if I, am a part of her, then I, will be judged. Verse 18, tells us our first clue. There, are actually, 6 clues, as to, the identity, of this woman. So, by the time we are done, we will have no doubt, as to who she is. Verse 18 says:

-And the woman, which thou saw-est, is that great city, which reign-eth, over the kings of the earth.

Clue number one. The woman, is a city. So, there is a city, somewhere on this earth, right now, that Almighty God, 2000 years ago said, just before my 2nd coming, I am going to pour horrible judgment out upon this city. So, clue number one is, the woman, is a city. We also know in verse one, it says, that the woman, sat upon many waters. Well, verse 15 tells us, what the water symbolizes. You notice, that we are not having to, pin the tail, on the donkey. We are not having to, make things up. The chapter, is interpreting the symbols being used for us, in plain language. Verse 15 says:

-And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Okay, let’s get this. The woman is a city, but yet she sits on people’s, multitudes, nations and tongues. Apparently, it is a city that is the headquarters for a vast international system. Okay, we do not know the answer yet, but let us go on. In verse number 9, we are told what the 7 heads on the beast symbolize. Here is what it states:

-And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

I talked to a fellow who had been to Rome, and a Roman Catholic guide, had taken him through, the Roman Coliseum. He got outside, and was standing against the wall of the Coliseum. The guide said, from there, you can see; several, of the famous, 7 hills, of Rome. He began to named them. 

Now, what do we know? We know that the woman is a city. So, the 7 heads, are 7 mountains, on which the city sitteth. So, we see a city, that sits on 7 mountains, that are the headquarters, for a vast international system. I will never forget, growing up in church, I had heard some preachers, preach, that this harlot of Revelation 17, was Rome. Yet, when I began to teach, I said I can’t just say that, if I do not know that it is true. So, I went to the internet to look this information up. I was prepared to spend whatever length of time was necessary, to uncover this important piece of information. The logical place to begin in my mind was the encyclopedia. So I opened up the encyclopedia to Rome. In big bold letters it said Rome, the city of 7 hills. I was stunned. It was so easy. Then, it named each of the hills. Each of the 7 hills, are so famous, that they each had their own name. 

I knew that this was in the Bible. Hear, this was proving to me, what I thought I understood from the Bible. I was astounded, because this prophecy is 2000 years old, and yet it is being fulfilled, right before us right now. 

Now, we have gone through 3 of the clues so far. Let us look at clue number 4. Now, the Bible tells us in verse number 4:

-And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations, and filthiness of her fornication:

Since the Vatican sits in Rome, the city of 7 hills, and since the Vatican does reside over 1 billion people worldwide, everything fits. Yet, what is this about the woman arrayed in purple and scarlet colors. There are 2 ruling bodies of the Roman catholic church. There is the college of cardinals, and there is the college of bishops. Now, it is the Roman policy that cardinals wear red, while bishops and non-cardinal archbishops wear purple. This prophecy says, the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet. Scarlet is another word for red. So, Almighty God, before there ever was a Roman Catholic church, or bishops, or cardinals, foretold that when this prophecy was to be fulfilled that the woman would be arrayed in purple and in scarlet colors, the 2 ruling bodies of the Roman catholic church. Then the Scripture tells us in verse number 6:

-And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

What is this? The woman is drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. John said, that I saw this, and I was stunned, and I wondered about all of this. Well, throughout the ages of time, the Roman Catholic Church, has been a great persecutor, of all those Christians, that would not join themselves to the church. Throughout the middle ages there was great persecution. In one 6 year period alone, 6 million people were put to death, during the time of the Inquisition. Remember in 1492, when Columbus was discovering America. At that time, there was the Spanish Inquisition. People were instructed to be baptized or die. People had to flee for their lives, if they were unwilling to be baptized into Christianity. Plus, during this same era of time, during the middle ages or dark ages, there were many people put to death. For example, John Hess was burned at the stake, because he would not pledge allegiance to the pope or the Roman church. Then William Tyndale, you probably recognize that name, he was the translator of the Tyndale Bible. Some of you may own a copy of the Tyndale Bible. William Tyndale, his crime was translating the Bible into the language of the common man. The church did not want people to have the Bible. They felt that the people were incapable of understanding the Bible. They needed to be told the truth from the priest, and not study the Bible independently. So, they outlawed the ownership of a Bible. Nevertheless, Tyndale felt like every person should be able to read the Bible for themselves. So, he translated the Bible. The result was that he was burned at the stake for this crime, by the Roman catholic church. They actually took the Bibles that he had translated, and use those Bibles, to set the fire to put him to death. 

Martin Luther was actually sentenced to death, at the Diet of Worms Germany. Now, Diet is an ecclesiastical trial, and Worms is a city in Germany. Martin Luther was sentenced to die, because he had dared to question the teachings of the church. Also, of course he gave birth to that famous believe, that the just shall liv by faith. They sentenced him to die. The sentence was never executed, because he was able to escape into the Protestant control sector of Germany at that time, and he was never put to death. You can read for yourself more than you would ever want to read. There is a book called the Fox’s book of martyrs, that would just turn your blood cold. 

Nevertheless, the Scriptures says that the woman, the city of 7 hills, the city that rules over multitudes, nations, people and tongues, will be drunken with the blood of the saints. So, that is clue #5. Every one of these clues match perfectly with Rome.

Now, let me say this right now, because I may be speaking to Roman Catholics even now. This is not direct it at you. You will see later on that you are in this prophecy, as well as Protestants are in this prophecy. Let me show you that right now. The Bible tells us, that on the 4 head of this woman was a name Mystery Babylon the Great. Now, we know that a mystery is something hidden from some, while being revealed to others. So, why does she have this name Mystery Babylon. We have to understand what Babylon is all about. Remember the flood. God told everyone to go out, scatter, multiply the earth. They decided that they did not want to do what God said. They sought security in themselves. They said that they were going to build a city. They wanted to build a tower. Since, we are disobeying God, we cannot depend on him to save us, because we are in rebellion against him. We are going to have to work out our own plan of salvation. In case there is another flood, we are going to build a tower into the heavens. So, when the flood comes, we will not have to depend on God, to tell us to build an ark. We will just run up the tower and we will be safe.

This is the origin of man-made religion. We do not want God to tell us what the true religion is all about. When we begin to change the word, or add to it, or take away from it, then we are guilty of man made religion. That is the reason that we should have an allegiance to the Bible right now, like we never have had before. So, she is called mystery Babylon the great. What has happened is, the Roman Catholic Church, has changed many central doctrines, of the New Testament church. For example, there was no sprinkling for baptism in the Bible. Never, none, not one time. There was never a baptism for infance. Never done not one time. The Bible says he that believe it is baptized. You cannot believe when you are in 8-day-old baby. These are all doctrines that have been made up. Add to that, many other things have been changed, by the Roman church through the years. For example, priestly celibacy. It is causing the Roman church horrible heartache right now. Do you know that the Bible says that in the last days people will have doctrines of devils, forbidding them to marry. To forbid to marry is a doctrine of devils. Look at what the result has been. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of cases of molestation of little boys by Catholic priests, because they were thrown into this unnatural situation. The Bible says, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. God made them to be this way. When you start converting and changing what God taught, it always produces problems. It always produces heartache.

Okay, one more thing that is very important. That is, her name was mother of harlots. So, that means that she has daughter harlots. We are going to learn more about that as we move forward here. Okay, so we have to know this. Before we can understand mother of harlots, we have to ask this question. Why is the Roman church depicted as a harlot? That is so distasteful. A harlot is a woman of ill repute. Well in the Bible, a church is always portrayed as a woman. A true church in the Bible, is symbolized as a virgin. 2nd Corinthians chapter 11, verse 2, says this:

-For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

So, the true church is symbolized as a woman virgin. Nevertheless, false churches in the Bible are symbolized as women, but not a virgin, but as a harlot. This is someone who has been unfaithful and has gone out on her bridegroom. Now, the next question is when did this woman become a harlot. When did the Roman Catholic Church become a harlot. In the Old Testament, Israel became a harlot, Judges 2 17 tells us:

-And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: …

So, when Israel began to believe in more than one God or false God’s, God said they went a whoring after other gods. Well, that is what happened to the Roman Church. The Roman church came up with a doctrine that there is a plurality of deities. That there is a God the father, God the son, and a God the Holy Ghost. They went on to say that these are 3 separate persons. The father is not the son. The son is not the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is not the father nor the son. When they hatched this doctrine, all of a sudden they began to believe that when they get to heaven that they were going to see God on the throne. They believe that they are going to see, the son on the right-hand, and some people even depict the Holy Ghost as a dove on the left hand. This believe  was injected into the church, that there were 3 separate persons, separate deities in the Godhead. When this doctrine was formed, that is when they went a whoring after false deities. The Bible is explicit. Hear oh Israel the Lord our God is one. Well this doctrine taught that the Lord our God is three. Let us look at when it happened. The Roman Catholic Church, at the Council of Nicaea, 325 A.D. Now, obviously this doctrine of the Trinity had been taking roots in the church previous to this. Yet, it was at Nicaea that they codified this, that they incorporated this into the legal beliefs of the church, this doctrine of the Trinity. In order to make the baptism match this belief in the plurality of deities, they there at Nicaea changed the formula for baptism. They changed it from in the name of Jesus Christ, which was what they always use up until that time. They changed it from, in the name of Jesus Christ, to, in the name of the father son and Holy Ghost. See my lesson on Understanding the Godhead and its relationship to the Trinity. For a positive definition of the Trinity, see the last quarter of the lesson.  

The Kesenian Encyclopedia of Religion documents this. Listen to it. The early church always baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, until the development of the Trinity doctrine in the third century. Afterwards, they were baptized, in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost. The Schaff–Herzog Religious Encyclopedia, in volume 1, page 430, it says, the New Testament knows, only the baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then when you go to, Hastings dictionary of the Bible, page 88, Hastings said, it must be acknowledged that, the threefold name, of Matthew 28 19, does not appear to have been use by the primitive church. Rather, in the name of Jesus, or Lord Jesus. Also, in Hastings encyclopedia, actually Hastings encyclopedia of religion, volume 2, page 377. Christian baptism was administered, using the words in the name of Jesus. Okay, so why did they change this? Well, obviously, they were trying to make the doctrine, match the practice. Hastings encyclopedia, volume 2, page 389 says, baptism was always in the name of Jesus, until the time of Justin Martyr. Then the, Britannica encyclopedia, the 11th edition, volume 3, page 365 says, the Trinitarian formula, and tri-immersion, were not uniformly used from the beginning. Then, from the dictionary of the Bible, by Scribner, Scribner said, the original form of the words were, into the name of Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus. Baptism into the Trinity was a later development. Then, from the new Catholic encyclopedia, this is the Catholic’s own book, the second addition, page 61, listen to this. With regards to the formula use for baptism in the early church, there is the difficulty, that although Matthew 28 19, speaks of the Trinitarian formula, which is now used, the acts of the apostles, speak only of the baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus. Even, in the Catholic encyclopedia, it is telling us, that the first church always baptized in the name of Jesus. Now, once they think in their minds, we have this Trinitarian formula, why is there difficulty? Well, there is no difficulty, if you do not believe in three, separate, beings. If you believe, that there is one God.

When God took on a body, because each of these “forms of existence” of God and Jesus were relational, and thus were persons, they were each a distinct center of consciousness. With each center of consciousness regarding himself as “I”, and the others as “you.” Nonetheless, these three Persons all “consisted of” the same “stuff”, that is, the same “what” or essence. As theologian and apologist Norman Geisler has explained it, while essence is what you are, person is who you are.  

So, the Father, in some sense, when he was in the world, for example, was a different Person from the Son, because he regarded the Son as a “You,” even though he regarded himself as “I.” Thus, in regards to the Trinity, we can say that “Person” means a distinct subject, which regards himself as an “I”, and the other two as a “You.”

He was one Being in three Persons, centers of consciousness, not merely three roles. The role analogy ignores the personal distinctions within God, and mitigates them to mere roles. Being in the form of a man, Jesus emptied himself. When he was resurrected his center of consciousness was restored. There is but one God, and in Jesus wells all the fullness of God. Once you move off of that, then all kinds of confusion comes in.

One of the things that is so vital for us to realize is, that baptism is a marriage ceremony. Now, you know that when you get baptized, that you are baptized into Jesus Christ. When you get married, you take the name of your groom. Listen to Revelation 3 27.

-For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

I will never forget, when I propose to my wife Mary many years ago, if she would have said to me, look I want to marry you. Yet, my name is Hall, and I think that that sounds a lot classier than your name Parks. Let me tell you, there would still be bricks flying.

When we become the bride of Christ, that is when we take on his name. As many of you has been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. Now, Satan wanted to take the name out of the marriage ceremony. Satan knows the importance of it. So, that is the reason for the formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity, in accordance to the Nicene Creed. Thank God for the Athanasian Creed for restoring that which was lost.

Now, let us go a step further. Remember the name mother of harlots. We have been pretty hard here on the Roman Catholic Church. Notice, that on her fore-head, was the name mother of harlots. Who were these daughter harlots? When the Reformation took place, and the Protestants were breaking off from the Catholic church, the Roman Catholic Church called an emergency counsel, the Council of Trent. This was to try to control the hemorrhage from the church, because it was massive. They condemned many of the practices that the Protestants had adopted after leaving the church. Yet, they did state that the Protestants at lease did not forsake the mother church’s baptism. Now, when they did not go back to biblical baptism, and when they did not go back to realizing, that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus Christ. He is not a member of the Godhead, the Godhead dwells in him. When they did not go back to that, they committed themselves to be nothing but daughters of the mother church. Now, this is proven later on. When the Roman church called the Vatican Council, 1962 to 1965, they referred to the Protestants as daughters of the mother. Here is the quote. 

We the mother church are opening our arms to all of our daughters to return. Anyone who holds to our baptism, may return home without being re-baptized. So, right now if you are baptized using the phrase father-son and Holy Ghost, you can go and enjoy the Catholic church, without re-baptism. They already consider you a member. However, a minister friend of mine decided to call the priest in his town. He said tell me what I have to do to become a Catholic. The priest said, go through the catechism, and then you need to be baptized into the church. My minister friend said, well I have already been baptized. Do I need to be baptized again? The priest said, if you have been baptized, using the mother formula, father, son, and Holy Ghost; you do not need to be re-baptized. My minister friend said well I was baptized the way that they did in the book of acts, in the name of Jesus Christ. The priest abruptly said to him in that case you need to be re-baptized.

Now think about this. He was baptized the only way that they are baptized in the New Testament church. Yet, the Roman Catholic Church would not accept the baptism. They would accept the phrase, father son and Holy Ghost with no name in it. Remember, without the name you cannot be with-in the bride. Now, let me show you how this is developing in our world today. A very recent meeting was held in Austin Texas. On January 29, in 2013, the Huffington Post recorded this. Catholic leaders, will join representatives, from the Presbyterian Church USA, the Christian Reformed Church in North America, the Reformed Church in America, and the United Church of Christ, at the ceremony in Austin Texas. This is to sign the agreement which is called, the common agreement, on mutual recognition of baptism. 

The event coincides with the national meeting, of the Christian of Christian churches. Together in the USA, Tuesday’s agreement says that for our baptisms to be mutually recognized, water and the scriptural Trinitarian formula, father son and Holy Spirit, according to Matthew 28 19 to 20, must be used in the baptismal right. So, they are saying that everyone that uses this baptism, we mutually recognize each other’s baptism, because you are daughters of the Roman Catholic Church.

Now, notice in Acts 4 12, the Bible tells us that, baptism is the defining issue.

-Neither is there salvation, in any other: for there is none other name, under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

So, false Christianity baptizes with the phrase father, son, and Holy Ghost. This practice was not done one time in the Bible. Yes, Jesus commanded them to baptize in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit. Nevertheless, he assumed that they knew by then, what the name of the father, son, and Holy Ghost was. Notice, this phrase name is singular. Jesus said I’ve come in my father’s name. Jesus said when you have seen me you have seen the father. The name of the father always was Jesus. It was simply kept secret, until it was time for the birth of salvation. Until it was time for the birth of Jesus. The name of the Holy Ghost was Jesus. Jesus said, the Holy Ghost, the father will send in my name. Jesus said in John 14 17: 

-now I am with you, and I shall be in you. 

The Bible says the spirit of Christ dwells in us. The Holy Ghost is not another deity. The Holy Ghost is simply another center of consciousness. You are not talking about another God, because there are no other gods. Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is one God. When you get to heaven, you are not going to see three gods. You are going to see one God seated on that throne. His right hand or his seat of authority will be Jesus. In Mark 10 37, they said unto him, 

-Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 

This is a seat of authority, not necessarily, a physical position, of physical existence. Likewise, his right arm is Jesus, his salvation. Again, a seat of authority, not necessarily, a physical position of existence. 

False Christianity, baptizes using the phrase, father, son, and Holy Ghost. True Christianity, baptizes in the name of Jesus Christ, as was done every time in the new testament church. What are we talking about today? 

We are talking about true Christianity versus false Christianity. Jesus said in the last days, beware, lest any man deceive you. For many, not a few, but many shall come in my name. Luke, chapter 24, verse 47, tells us:

-that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 

Repentance, and remission of sin, should be preached in his name. In the name of Jesus, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Believe in one God, and baptism in Jesus name, is the cornerstone of true Christianity. 

On March 30 of 1994, the Indianapolis Star publish this story. The headline was Catholics and Evangelicals, affirm ties that bind. 

The subtopic statement, recognizes that all are Christians, and seeks, and attempts to convert each other. This has been called, a historical evangelical. It included Pat Robertson, and Charles Colson. It was joined with, conservative, Roman Catholic, leaders Tuesday. They upheld the ties of faith, that bind the nations' largest, and most politicaly active, religious groups. They urged Catholics and evangelicals, to increase their efforts against abortion and pornography, and to lobby for valued education. They urged them, to no longer hold each other, at theological arms lengh, and to stop the aggressive proselytizing, of each other’s flocks. Now, I am telling you, that this is where we are, in this end times. We are seeing the Protestants and the Catholics going back together. A couple of months later, actually on June 17, of 1994, again in the Star, this story was carried. Southern Baptist, embrace Catholics. The subtopic was, national convention overwhelmingly endorses a declaration of unity, despite the illogical differences. Here is what the article said. 

Southern Baptist and Roman Catholics, can be more than political soulmates. The nations largest denominations, declared Thursday. In a major step towards ecumen-ism, the Southern Baptist convention said, born again believers, may be found in all Christian denominations. They endorsed, Baptist and Catholic dialogue. 

So, now we see, the largest Protestant denomination will now remember what the prophecy says. You are now reaching over to hold hands with Roman Catholicism. I will show you the judgment of the great whore. There is judgment coming on false religions, and now we are understanding why her name is called mother of harlots. All this is being done by compromising beliefs that have been long held. Everything is changing now. People are no longer believing, what they used to believe. All the religions are in a state of flux right now. 

Okay, now, once you decide that Protestants can be in the Catholic Church, and that the Catholic Church is acceptable of Protestants, what happens next? Well it doesn’t stop. Because once you learn the art of compromise, then compromises get bigger. For example: the Roman Catholic catechism, the first new catechism in about 400 years, was published in 1994. On pages 242, and 243, I could not believe my eyes. Here is what it says. The plan of salvation, also includes those, who acknowledge the creator, in the first place, among whom, are the Muslims. These profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and do together with us, they adore, the one merciful God. Who is mankind’s judge, on the last day. This is in the Catechism. I read that in the paper. I could not believe it. So, I went to the store, and I bought a copy of the catechism. I could not believe it. There it was. The plan of salvation, also includes, those who acknowledge the creator. In the first place among them are the Muslims. Because, they together with us, hold the faith of Abraham, and they adore the one merciful God. Who is mankind’s judge, on the last day. We are moving towards one world religion right now, aren’t we? It is going to be the one world religion, that will hold hands with the one world government of the antichrist. It is the end time scenario. 

The parliament of the world’s religions, was held in 1993 in Chicago. They put together there, a global ethic, that they hoped would join together mankind. Now, the global ethic, I took this from the national Catholic reporter, and I only pulled out a few bullet points. Listen, to some of the things that they said. This global ethic, is to be a global belief system that all mankind can buy into. Here is what it says. We are women and men, who have embraced the precepts and practices, of the world’s religions. We affirm that, a common set of core values is found in the teachings of the religions, and that these form the basis of a global ethic. A global ethic, for a global religion. It goes on to say. There already exists ancient guidelines for human beings’ behavior. These are found in the religious teachings of the world, and which are the condition for a sustainable world order. You see a one world language here. 

We must synchronize our narrow differences, for the cause of the world community, one world government. Practicing a culture of solidarity and relatedness. Now, who was attending this meeting? Catholics, Protestants, Buddhist, Jews, Wiccans and Zoroastrians. There was a huge number of religions that came there. We must sync our narrow differences. Wiccans are witches. Zoroastrians don’t believe in Jesus Christ at all. Buddhists do not believe in Jesus Christ at all. Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ at all. They are saying, that it is time for us to compromise, and sync our differences, for the sake of the world’s community. I do not think so, but that is where we are going. Can the antichrist, and the false prophet be far behind.

Okay! Now the question, what can we do? Revelation chapter 4, talks about this mother of harlots, a judgment of the great harlot that is coming. The Catholics and the Protestants together. It is not going to be just the Catholics. Most Catholics and Protestants, are going to end up, in an alliance, with the antichrist himself. Whoever is pope at the time of the antichrist, he will be the false prophet. It will be a political leader, and a spiritual leader working together. So, most of us will find ourselves in one of those categories, Catholics, or Protestants, or something else. If you are a part of those 2 entities, what do you do? Revelations 18 4, tells us all of the clues. This is after devoting chapter 17 to the mother of harlots. The clues are: a city that sits on 7 hills; rules over people’s, multitudes, nations and tongues; with red and purple; drunk with the blood of the saints; and the blood of the mother of harlots. After it gives us all of these things, the question is, what do we do about this truth?

I know that this is a foundation changing truth. Right now some of your worlds may be rocky. You are saying, I have believed this all of my life. Now, I find out that all this is wrong. Yes, that is true. So, what do we do? Verse 4, of chapter 18, tells us:

- Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Here is the explicit set of directions for you, from God himself. You are going to have to come out of her. You say, I am going to stay in and change it. No! You won’t. The Bible says come out of her, unless you be a partaker of her sins, and unless you receive of her plagues. God tells his people, come out of her my people. There are wonderful people who love God in Roman Catholicism. Many of the apostate, Protestant churches, are moving towards this one world church. There are many people in there, and are saying we love God, but what can I do? They do not know what to do. So here is the answer. Come out of her my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. Okay! The judgment of the great whore, of revelation 18, verse 7, says:

- for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

I remember thinking, why is she going to say that. Then it dawned on me, because we are preaching, you for-sook your husband. You no longer have a husband. You took the name out of baptism. You adopted a plurality of deities. She is going to defend herself, because DVDs, or CDs, like what you are watching, or listening to now, are going to ricochet around the world. People are going to realize, oh my goodness, I have got to get out of this. She is going to say. I am a queen. I am no widow. I am not going to see judgment or sorrow, because we are going to be preaching the judgment of the great whore. When she says that:

-shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

God’s judgment, is soon going to fall, on all of false Christianity. It is all going to happen at the end of the great tribulation, right at the battle of Armageddon. Rome is going to be destroyed. All mystery Babylon is going to be destroyed. God spent 2 chapters, chapters 17 and 18, describing in detail the judgment against these false religions that deceived the world, and sent people away from true Christianity. God hates it. He hates the fact that everything that is in the original Bible has now been changed by modern Christianity. Come out of her my people, less you be a partaker of her sins, and less you receive of her plagues.

Now, we know that Matthew 28 19, is Holy Scripture. The apostle Peter fulfilled Matthew 28 19. I am not saying that it is wrong. It is a great Scripture. 

- Go yee therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Yet, we know that the name of the son is Jesus. We know that he said, when you have seen me you have seen the father. He said, I come in my father’s name. We know that, the Holy Ghost is nothing but Jesus Christ in spirit form. Jesus said, now I am with you, but I shall be in you. So, when he instructed that we should baptize in the name of Jesus, let us see what Peter did, about 7 days later, in acts 2 38. Here is what Peter replied when asked, what must we do to be saved?

- Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Friends, Jesus is the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost. If there were 3 different names, it would have said, baptize them in the names of. It did not. It said baptize in the name of. Furthermore, the bible says, in Philippians 2 9:

- Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

God gave Jesus, "His name"! because, the name of God is, the name that is above all other names. Of that, there can be no doubt. Without controversy, the name of God is above all other names, whatever Gods name is. We may attempt to use semantics, to take the name, out of baptism, by saying that in the name of the father, the son and Holy Ghost is properly interpreted to mean, in the authority of the father, son, and Holy Ghost. Rightly discerning the word of truth, this is a, both and, philosophy, not an, either or, philosophy. Because, God also gave Jesus a name above all other names, which is his own name. The name that is above all other names is the name of God the father. God gave Jesus his own name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee would bow, and every tounge would confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. The bible says that no man can call Jesus Lord, except that he be led by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus said to Peter, in Matthew 16 17, you could not have known this except that God revealed it to you. Likewise, as 1 Corinthians 12 3 says, no man can call Jesus God, except that he be led by the Holy spirit. Satan couldn't, the Catholic church couldn't, and neither can we, because as 1 John 4 3 says, this is the spirit of the antichrist. 

-And every spirit that confess-eth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 

It must be noted that the phrase, "Jesus Christ is come in the flesh", is a direct reference to His deity, and that GOD came to the earth in flesh. All men are "born in the flesh,". Therefore, this verse has no significance, unless it is referring to God coming in the flesh. John says, those that deny this revealed truth of the Trinity, are not of God, and the denial of this doctrine, comes from the spirit of the antichrist, who is directed by Satan.  

See my lesson on Understanding the Godhead. When reading the Septuagint in public, the reader would see, the lord Jesus on the page, and he would, read kurios. Kurios is, the same name, that he would read, when he would see, the Lord God.

God gave Jesus his name, for the fullness of the Godhead. Let us look at Colossians 2 9:

- For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Jesus is not a member of the Godhead. He is not the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity. The Bible says clearly, for in him, in Jesus, dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. The father is in Jesus, the son is in Jesus, and the Holy Ghost is in Jesus. Jesus is not a member of the Godhead, the Godhead dwells in Jesus. So what does this teach us then?

The Bible says in acts 4  12, that the name of Jesus in baptism is necessary for salvation.

-Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

It is only through the name of Jesus that salvation comes. That is what the name means. The word Yeshuah, means salvation. Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. The apostle Paul said this:

- arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Let me conclude with this today. I have brought to you a truth that I know is shaking many of you to your foundations. You are wondering how could I have been so deceived for so long. I assumed that this was true. Yet, between our Understanding the Godhead message, and now true Christianity versus false Christianity, you are finding out that some things were not true. Now, you know why I was so cautious, as I presented the beginning of this lesson, to tell you that I don’t want to hurt you. Yet, I would rather risk hurting you, when telling you the truth, then be a coward, and try to retain your friendship by hiding the truth from you. I just had to tell you the truth. This message that you are hearing right now, that most of the world is heading straight for the arms of the antichrist. Most of Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant are moving straight towards the arms of the antichrist. 

They will follow the false prophet straight into the alliance with the antichrist, whoever is the Pope at the time of the antichrist. He will be the false prophet. They will form their league together like they always have, under the Holy Roman Empire. It will be the same story again. Always a political leader from Europe, and a spiritual leader from Italy, every time. That is what is getting ready to happen. Now, if you blindly stay a part of an apostate Christianity, you are going to go right with them. The message is come out from among them. Come out of them my people, that yee be not partakers of her sins. That you receive not of her plagues. So this gospel that I have presented to you, not only should you obey what has been taught today. Now, you need to spread this message. 

In Matthew 24 14, Jesus said, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached, in all the world, for a witness unto all nations. Then shall the end come. So, my dear friends make up in your mind right now, I will not be bound by tradition. I have watched religion go through its revival phase, and then through its institutionalized phase, and then compromise phase, until after a while anything goes. Watching this pattern and even being part of a religious denomination, then one asks oneself. What would I do? After investing a lifetime to this Pentecostal movement, what if it quits teaching what the Bible says? I have made up my mind, that if that ever happens, I will not follow the traditions. I will stay with the Bible. I hope that you are able to leave the traditions. I know that traditions are powerful. 

You have your mothers, and your grandmothers, and your fathers, and you have been in this all of your life. To think about making a break to follow truth, is a very gut-wrenching decision. Yet I would say to you today, right now, we need a rebirth of biblical Christianity. I am inviting you to be a part of that. Matthew 24 14, the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then will the income. This message that you've heard today, is going to ignite a revival, that is going to ricochet around the world. I want to be a part of it. I am inviting you to join me. Let us do it together, so that we can prepare a bride called by his name. When Jesus comes back, the Bible says, that he will turn the Gentiles to call out a bride for his name’s sake. Jesus is coming back after a people baptized in his name. That puts you in the bride of Christ. Even as you, if you are a female, you took your husband’s name at the marriage ceremony. That is exactly what we do when we are baptized in Jesus’s name. We become a part of the bride of Christ. The Bible tells us that, Jesus is coming back soon. When he comes back, his bride is going to be caught up to meet him in the air. What an incredible day that is going to be. I do not want to miss it. I know that you do not want to miss it. Grace and peace be unto you. From God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
