2. The truth hurts the most
Men would rather wallow in lies and
deception rather than accept the truth
But once accepted, they say that it can set
you free
I say, the REAL TRUTH can give you
EVERLASTING LIFE!
3. The word of God is the truth and the bible is
the word of God, therefore, it contains all
the truth about what has transpired, what is
happening now and what is yet to come
If you do not believe in the bible, close this
application and proceed no more so as not
to waste your time
If you do believe in the bible, have an open
mind, accept the truth, and you may yet be
saved
4. That God made man to fear Him, to obey his
commandments and give glory to him
Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV “Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His
commandments: for this is the whole duty of
man.”
I Corinthians 10:31 KJV “Whether therefore ye
eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the
glory of God.”)
That all men have sinned
Romans 3:23 KJV “For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of God.”
5. That the punishment of sin is death
Romans 6:23 KJV “For the wages of sin is death; …”
Which death? Revelations 20:14 BBE “And death and hell
were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death,
even the sea of fire.”
No man can say that he has never ever
sinned, so we are all damned unless saved
from the sea of fires
6. God sent His only son, Jesus Christ, to save
man from the sea of fire
John 3:16 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
But is this the only condition to be saved?
Can we be saved by faith alone?
Read the bible and learn more!
7. The apostle James states
James 2:26 KJV “For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead
also.”
If faith without the works is dead, how can
we be saved then by faith alone?
What do we have to work on then?
We have to follow God’s commandments
and Jesus’ teachings in order to be saved!
8. John 10:9 KJV reads “I am the door: by me if any
man enter in, he shall be saved, …”
This is the essence of John 3:16 when God sent
his only Son to save mankind from the sea of
fires
For Jesus did not choose who shall be saved but
whoever shall believe in him will attain
salvation
However, there is a condition
You have to believe in him and enter the door
This is a command by Jesus, the savior
9. Which is the door that is Christ?
This is the one true church of Jesus Christ
where anyone who wish to be saved must
enter
Matthew 16:18 KJV reads “And I say unto thee,
That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church; …”
Notice the singularity of the church,
meaning, there is only one true church that
Jesus will save
10. But how can Jesus save anyone who enters
his church when God has a rule regarding
those who have sinned and those who must
pay for their sins
Deutoronomy 24:16 KJV “The fathers shall not be put to
death for their children, neither shall the children be put
to death for the fathers: every man shall be out to death
for his own sin.”
Read on
11. In order to save his church, Christ created a
new man to preserve God’s law
Ephesians 2:15-16 BBE “Having in his flesh put an end to
that which made the division between us, even the law
with its rules and orders, so that he might make in
himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace; And
that the two might come into agreement with God in one
body through the cross, so putting and end to that
division.”
12. So, with Christ as the head and the church
his body, a new man was created in order to
keep the law of God
Ephesians 5:23 KJV “For the husband is the head of the
wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is
the savior of the body.”
Since Christ is the head of the church
(which is his body), he can now answer for
the sins of the body without violating the
law of God
13. Was the whole of humankind saved when Jesus
died on the cross?
A lot are led to believe that this is the case
Many preaches that you do not need to be part
of any church to be saved
Just take Jesus as your personal savior and you
can be saved
Can faith alone save us?
The bible answers us in
James 2:17 KJV “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is
dead, being alone.”
So how can something dead save us?
14. Does anyone who calls on to Jesus, recognizes
him and believes in him are already recognized
by Jesus Christ the saviour?
These people preached and performed miracles
in Jesus’ name yet was disowned by Christ
himself
Matthew 7:22-23 KJV “Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in the name? and in they name
have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful
works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
So who was saved when Christ died on the
cross?
15. Acts 20:28 KJV reads “Take heed therefore unto
yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the
Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the
church of God, which he hath purchased with
his own blood.”
A more fitting translation of Acts 20:28 can be
read in a number of ancient and more recent
translations:
Etheridge Translation:
"Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock
over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the
bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha [Christ]
which he hath purchased with his blood."
16. Disciples New Testament:
"Therefore, take care of yourselves, and of all the
congregation in which you have been appointed
through the holy Spirit as bishops, to shepherd the
church of Jesus Christ, that which he established by
his blood."
George Lamsa:
Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock
over which the Holy Spirit has appointed your
overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has
purchased with his blood."
17. The English translation of the verse in Syriac
Manuscripts such as MS Syriac 4 (12th century), MS
Syriac 325 (12th Century), MS Syriac 27 (16th
century), and the Novum Testamentum Syriace
(17th century) read "Church of Christ.“
Aside from Syriac manuscripts, the phrase "Church
of Christ" can also be found in Acts 20:28 in Peshitta
Aramaic Text which when translated into English,
reads:
"Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock
over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the
bishops; to pasture the church of Christ which he hath
purchased with his blood."
18. What’s the issue between the Church of God
and the Church of Christ in Acts 20:28?
Ask yourselves, was it God that has purchased
the church with his blood?
No, it was Jesus Christ who died on the cross!
Was it God that built the church?
No, it was Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:18)!
Therefore, isn’t it fitting that the church Christ
built be named after Him?
Unless, you’re saying that Christ is God, which
is another story we have to discuss
19. Besides, if we accept that it should be the
Church of God, then we are implying that God
is not immortal and not in the spirit form
1 Timothy 1:17 KJV “Now unto the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour
and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Also in John 4:24 KJV “God is a Spirit: and they that
worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in
truth.”
Therefore, Christ died for the people who
belong to His church
20. Christ did not save the whole of human
kind, but the whole of mankind can be
saved if mankind will enter Christ’s church
and do as the Father commands and as Jesus
teaches
And the savior has spoken, you have to enter
the door in order to gain salvation and we
now know what the door is and where it can
be found
21. There are so many churches today that claims
to be the true church of Christ
So, how do we know which is the true church?
There are a number of passages in the bible
that talks about the church of Christ during
and after his time
More specifically, the passages talk about three
groups of people or members of Christ’s church
These groups of people are the Jews, Gentiles
and those from afar who was yet to be called by
God
22. Firstly, the original church that Christ
himself built that includes only the Jews
(Matthew 16:18 KJV “ And I say also unto thee, that
thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.”)
Now, many believe that the rock mentioned here is Peter,
however, the rock mentioned by Jesus is actually himself
Remember, Peter denied Christ not once but three times
so surely he could not be the foundation to which Christ
will build his church
23. Secondly, the church that includes the
gentiles (Romans 16:4 KJV – “Who have for my life
laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I
give thanks, but also all the churches of the
Gentiles.”)
Thirdly, Christ prophesied of a flock not yet
included in his fold (John 10:16 KJV – “And other
sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I
must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” )
24. In Acts 2:39, Peter prophesied “For the
promise is unto you, (the members of the
first church of Christ who were Jews) and
unto your children (the offspring of Peter’s
missionary works in the land of the Gentiles
who also became members of the church of
the Christ), and to all that are afar off, even
as many as the Lord our God shall call (this
third group has not yet been called during
the time of the writing of the passage).”
25. The prophet Zechariah prophesied about
three groups of people
Zechariah 13:8-9 KJV, “And it shall come to pass,
that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts (the
first and the second church) therein shall be cut
off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And
I will bring the third part through the fire, and
will refine them as silver is refined, and will try
them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name,
and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people:
and they shall say, The Lord is my God.”
26. Even Jesus himself prophesied about this
third group of people in
John 10:16 KJV “And other sheep I have, which are
not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they
shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.”
Why did Christ make a prophecy about his
church?
27. Because he knew the original church will be
turned against the true teachings of Christ
Peter gave warning to his people
Acts 20:29 KJV “For I know this, that after my departing
shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the
flock.”)
After the death of the last apostle, the true
church of Christ was turned against the
teachings of Jesus Christ
28. How do we know that it was turned against the
teachings of Christ?
New doctrines were added that were not
written in the bible
The book of revelations gave a fair warning to
those who will add or remove words from the
bible
Revelations 22:18-19 KJV “For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man
shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the
plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
29. To find the true church of Christ today that he
himself prophesied, one only have to study the
doctrines of a particular church
If the doctrines go against what God, Jesus and
the bible teaches, then for sure, it is not the
true church of Christ
Just one different doctrine will invalidate that
church from being the true church of Christ
How much more if so many doctrines go
against the bible’s teachings?
30. They will teach the teachings of men rather than of
God
It was Jesus who spoke in
Matthew 15:9 KJV “ But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
They will follow traditions instead of the teachings
of Christ
It was also Jesus who spoke in Matthew
Matthew 15:3 KJV “But he answered and said unto them,
Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by
your traditions?”
Colossians 2:8 KJV “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.”
31. They will adopt pagan rituals as their own
Constantine married paganism and christianity
allowing for false doctrines to creep into the early
catholic church
Deuteronomy 18:9 ESV “When you come into the
land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall
not learn to follow the abominable practices of those
nations.”
Ask yourself, does your religion practice or
allow the practice of rituals with pagan origins?
Do you believe in superstitions?
32. Faith alone can save a man’s soul from the sea of fire
We know from James 2:14, 17 & 22 KJV that this is not
true “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say
he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?
Even so faith, if it hath no works, is dead, being alone.”
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by
works was faith made perfect?”
Jesus is God
Jesus himself said during his prayers in John 17:3 KJV – “
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
God himself proclaimed in Isiah 45:5 BBE - “I am the
Lord, and there is no other; there is no God but me; …”
33. The apostles also acknowledges God to be the one and
only true God in I Timothy 2:5 KJV “For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus.”
This verse not only state that there is only one God
but also one mediator between God and man, who is
Jesus Christ
So, any church that claims that you can ask for
intercession from other beings other than Jesus
Christ is disregarding these words from the bible
Only Christ can intercede for us to God; whatever
excuses one may say about others interceding for us
only proves that they are not the true church
34. I Corinthians 8:6 KJV - “But to us there is but one
God, the Father, of whom we are all things, and we in
him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by him.”
I Philippians 2:6 BBE – “To whom, though himself in
the form of God, it did not seem that to take for
oneself was to be like God.”
Not once did Jesus claim to be God.
But even if Jesus is not God, “…God has put him in
the highest place and has given to him the name
which is greater than every name; So that at the
name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in
heaven and those on earth and those in the
underworld.” (Philippians 2:9-10 BBE)
35. The holy spirit is also God
If the holy spirit is also God, then there will be 9
Gods in total, God the Father, God the Son and 7
Gods the Holy Spirit
Revelations 5:6 KJV “And I beheld, and, lo, in the
midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in
the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had
been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into
all the earth.”
Also in Revelations 3:1 and 4:5
36. Eating blood is allowed: this was forbidden
by God in
Genesis 9:3 KJV “Every moving thing that liveth
shall be meat for you; even as the green herb
have I given you all things. But flesh with the life
thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not
eat.”
Likewise, also in
Acts 15:20 KJV “But that we write unto them, that
they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from
fornication, and from things strangled, and from
blood.”
37. Good people go straight to heaven when
they die
But John 3:13 KJV says otherwise, “And no man
hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came
down from heaven, even the Son of man which is
in heaven.”
Now, David is a very holy man and yet did
not go to heaven when he died
Acts 2:34 KJV says “For David is not ascended
into the heavens:…”
38. Praying in repetitions
Matthew 6:7 KJV “But when we pray, use not
vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
Predicting the day of judgement: even Jesus
Christ the son of God does not know when it
will come when he said in
Matthew 24:36 KJV “But of the day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only.”
39. Those who use the word “Father” to give
respect to clergymen
Matthew 23:9 KJV “And call no man your father
upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in
heaven.”
Idolatry
Leviticus 26:1 BBE “Do not make images of false
gods, or put up an image cut in stone in your land, to
give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.”
Romans 1:23 BBE “And by them the glory of the
eternal God was changed and made into the image of
man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and
things which go on the earth.”
40. Members who do not follow the doctrines of
the church are not removed from the church
The apostle Peter said in his letter to the
Corinthians
1 Corinthians 5:13 BBE “As for those who are
outside (the church), God is their judge. So put
away the evil man from among you.”
41. Many claims to be the one true church but remember, everything
was prophesied in the bible; Moses, David, John and even Jesus
Christ
John claimed the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah when he said in
John 1:23 BBE “He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste
land, make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.”
(Isaiah 40:3)
Jesus claimed his prophecy when he read from the book of Isaiah in
Luke 4:17-21 BBE “And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to
him and, opening the book, he came on a place where it is said, The
Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give
good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are
broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind
will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains, To give
knowledge that the year of the Lord’s good pleasure is come. And
shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat:
and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him. Then he said
to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.”
42. It must be reasonable then that the last messenger and
the last church will also be in the prophecy of the bible
If the founder of any church can claim a passage in the
bible that prophesies his or her coming and works, he is
the one last messenger of God and his church is the last
true church of Christ
Was there a prophecy of the last messenger?
Christ did make the prophecy in John 10:16 KJV “…and they
shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one
shepherd.”
In Revelation 7:2-3 BBE “And I saw another angel coming up
from the east, having the mark of the living God: and he said
with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to
do damage to the earth and the sea, Do not damage the earth,
or the sea, or the trees, till we have put a mark on the servants
of our Lord.”
43. The angel mentioned in Revelation 7:2 is a
messenger whose task is to put marks on the
servants of the Lord
What is the mark that they have to put on the
servants of God?
In Ephesians 1:13 KJV “In whom ye also trusted, after that
ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with
that holy Spirit of promise,”
Also in Ephesians 4:30 BBE “And do not give grief to the
Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day
of salvation.”
Therefore, the last messenger’s task was to teach the
word of God so that mankind will receive the Holy Spirit
and be saved from damnation
44. Again the prophesied messenger
Isaiah 46:11 KJV “Calling a ravenous bird from the east,
the man that executeth my counsel from a far country:
yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have
purposed it, I will also do it.”
Isaiah 43:5-6 KJV “Fear not: for I am with thee: I will
bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the
west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south,
Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my
daughters from the ends of the earth;”
Isaiah 43:10 KJV “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and
my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and
believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there
was no God formed, neither shell there be after me.”
45. The last messenger will come from the far
east in the isles of the sea
Isaiah 24:15 KJV “ Wherefore glorify ye the Lord
in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of
Israel in the isles of the sea.”
Isaiah 24:15 BBE “Give praise to the Lord in the
east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel,
in the sea-lands.”
When will this happen?
Isaiah 43:6 KJV “…and my daughters from the
ends of the earth;”
46. The ends of the earth is the time when the
earth is nearing its end and the second coming
of Christ
Jesus himself gave the signs when his second
coming is near at hand in Matthew 24:6-8 KJV “And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that
ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the
beginning of sorrows.”
This passage refers to the 1st world war that
occurred
47. Now that you have all the evidences on how
to look for the last messenger and the last
true church of Christ it is up to you to think,
investigate further and decide for yourself
Check which church or preacher can fit into
all of these prophecies by the bible
Remember, all of the prophecies must fit
exactly to the preacher and his church; not
just one or two, but all of the prophecies
48. Good luck and God bless
May the good Lord guide you in your search for
the truth
Harden not your heart lest you get lost
Ephisians 4:18 BBE “Whose thoughts are dark, to
whom the life of God is strange because they are
without knowledge, and their hearts have been made
hard;”
Instead, open your mind and your heart and if
you hear the truth which is the word of God,
heed them and believe in them so you can
receive the promised salvation!
