Christ First Forum

My husband and I have been visiting a new church,and the sermons have been great...

We met this pastor when we attended a friends' house for Bible study...

Well this friend of ours was planning on having another Bible study,and he started telling us that in the Great Tribulation the first beast out of Rev. 13 was the Catholic pope,and the second beast was the U.S. Something about our worship in Sunday was pagan...Sooo immediately 'red flags' went up on me that we told this friend that we did not believe this false teaching...The first beast is the Antichrist and the second beast is the False prophet,and they both are 'he's'. No where does the Bible say the ac and fp are the pope and U.S. In fact, the U.S. didn't exist when Revelations was written...

This friend ordered some tapes for a Bible study,but we didn't realize these tapes were on this topic he was trying to crammed down us...he was waiting to get them in the mail...so I told everyone we would have the next Bible study at our house,and my husband would teach...

Well, I clean and clean my house, re arrange my furniture, mowed, went out to invite friends to get ready for this study...then I got a 'voicemail' that our friend wanted to bring his tapes to play...I ask him to do it next time because my husband had studied 3 to 4 hours a day all week for this Bible study...I ask him...don't you want to look over these tapes before you present them to us...He just kept insisting he was going to do the tapes at my house until finally a 'light' went off in my head...I ask him...is these tapes about the discussion we had about Rev. 13...He said, 'yes.' I told him ...you know how we feel about this false teaching...He told me I was a 'know it all',and 'unteachable',and that I wouldn't be interested in any videos he presented...I told him I probably wouldn't...

We had our study,but there was soo many cancellations that day so it was sooo small...

My best friend was invited to this friend's house,and I had told her that these tapes was false teaching...She told me she had a desire to see them anyway...

I spend allot of time 'searching' information on these tapes,and found out that they are the teachings of Seven Day Adventist...Now that's an occult,and was discover by Ellen White's revelation..They even believe the Sunday worship will be the 'mark of the beast' because they will have to worship on Sunday...

I printed out all kind of information to my good friend hoping her husband and her didn't go,but she came back the next day saying the tapes were sooo good...

I told her...I'm sure they were because that's how Satan works...

Part truth to part lie where Satan gave to Christ in the temptation...

Anyway, I found out this pastor was 'also' at the bible study...

I truly don't think he know exactly that this is false teaching yet because it took us a while to know for ourselves...

I want to ask him tomorrow after church if I get a chance because if he believes in these tapes then we shouldn't be at this church..

My prayer request is that this false teachings will be expose before they are suck into them..

We are talking about a teenager and grown son following dad into false teachings...

Breaks my heart about this situation, and breaks my heart about my best friend...

I'm sharing all of this because it's sooo important for each of us to know 'what the Bible says'...

I've never took time to study other religions because I wanted to spend all of my time in the Word,and that's how I knew from the very beginning this study was false...

I just can't believe how much 'apostasy' with false teachers and false preachers are surfacing today..

Truly, we are living in the Last Days...

I ask each one of you to always 'test the spirits..'

God Bless...

Thank you sooo much for the prayers...

You know...a true friend...prays for you...

I 'cherish' any prayers that is lifted up to the Lord...

I feel much better speaking with the pastor,and knowing he does not believe in the Seven Day Adventist teachings...

I don't know 'what' he will do about this knowledge I share with him,but I do know, eventually these video tapes will come out with these false teachings...

Probably at the very end thinking they have the person under their control...

These tapes are being played at their house,but they are members of the church, we are visiting...

Sadly, my best friend is a deacons wife with her deacon husband from the church I just left,and she attends these Bible studies...

She and he doesn't believe me when I say that Seven Day Adventist is a false religion,and she's my good friend..

Now you can understand why our churches are in such a mess today....

I just ask God for the full hedge of protection,and that the truth will come out...

It's not about me being 'right,' but about Christ...

It's about these boys being taught false doctrine by their own father,and those they are inviting into the bible studies..

Satan is always working when God is working...I know that...

God Bless...
