Here is the problem. Martin Luther rightly renounced all the papal additions (#4-#22) that were adopted over the 1,200 years, but he failed to realize that some core beliefs of the church were anti-scriptural and pagan.
Notice that there are no scriptural references for the 3 doctrines passed at Nicea in 325AD. Everything is ‘implied’ or a ‘mystery’ or now ‘tradition’.
However, the doctrines above are in direct violation of the Word of YHWH.
1. Ex 20:3, Deu 6:4, Isa 43:10
2. Ex 20:8-11, Ex 31:13,16, Eze 20:12
3. Deu 12:30, Deu 16:16, Num 9:2, Lev 23
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Messiah. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Satan is a false light-bearer. It is the same tactic that was used on Eve in the Garden, mixing a lie with the truth.
Without the Hebraic perspective, the Western world will never know the truth about the Kingdom of YHWH.
1. Monotheism is the distinctive element of the Hebrew Faith (Deu 6:4)
2. Messiah followed all the customs of the Torah and the Prophets that His fathers followed for 4,000 years (Heb 4:15).
3. Messiah was without sin, which means He never transgressed the Torah (1 John 3:4)
4. Messiah was a ‘flesh’ and blood human being (De 18:18, I Jo 4:3, 2 Jo 1:7)
5. Messiah was a Hebrew from the tribe of Judah, who said nothing from the Word of YHWH has passed away (Matt 5:17-20)
· A devout pagan ruler (Constantine) transforms sun worship into Catholicism by simply associating pagan feasts with scriptural concepts. Hmmm
· The organization denounced everything Hebraic, thus divorcing itself from what the 1st century believers practiced. Hmmm
· Babylonian Trinity worship was practiced for centuries in Egypt, Greece, India and Rome prior to Nicea. Hmmm
· Every scripture and logical impossibility that contradicts the trinity doctrine is spiritualized into a “mystery”. Hmmm
· This organization instituted its own ‘jihad’, murdering 50 million ‘heretics’ in the name of ____? Whoever it was, it was not YHWH. Hmmm
Paul said this would happen and Yahushua prophesied the results (Acts 20:26-31, Matt 7:21-27)
In the words of Oprah, “Denial is not a river in Africa.”
I do not know if it can be made any plainer. This is the Whore of Revelation 17 and Christianity is the daughter of the Harlot. Whatever you are holding onto (pride, tradition, prestige) is it worth your eternity? Come out of Babylon!
