IMMORTAL, ONE
IN GOD, (Gen
1:26-27; Jn 3:3-21;
Jn 17:21).
To carry the
WARNING, and for
it to be a
WITNESS to these
eastern nations.
To DECLARE the
arrival of the
PROPHESIED
DISTRESS and
TUMULT among
the nations, (Col

peoples of the

wicked one and
his legions as evil
and wicked, that
old serpent Satanthe devil and his
deceived fallen
angels, (Rev 6:2
{white}; 6:4 {red};
6:5 {black}; 6:8
{pale}.

arrival of the
prophesied
EARTHQUAKES,
of FAMINES, of
PESTILENCES,
and ALL THESE
shall be the

SORROWS, (Mat

prophesied FALSE
PROPHETS, who,
from among them,
the many will look
to as unto gods,

That theWork of
God - 21st
Century, is now
here. Having
been raised by the
Living Christ to
commence the
great beginnings
of this phase of
the Work of God.
Because a short
work will the Lord
make upon theearth, and for us
His loyal servants,
a short time to do
it in, (Rom 9:28).
That we are NOT
out to try toconvince,
NEITHER to
forcibly try to
convert anybody,

or anyone,
anywhere,
anytime. Yet we
must, ascommanded by
the Apostle and
High Priest of our
Profession, teach
all men
everywhere to
repent for the
remission of sins,
and to do all
things that Christ
the Son of God
has commanded
us. (Mat 28:19-20;
Lk 24:47).
That we earnestly
teach and actively
practice THE WAY
OF PEACE, (Mat
5:9; I Tim 2:2; Jas3:17). For the
world lost
knowledge of the
way of peace
(Rom 3:17; Isa
59:8).
That weenthusiastically
TEACH and
faithfully
PRACTICE the
Way to LOVE GOD
with all our heart,
our soul, and our
mind, with all our
strength, and with
all our
understanding,
(Mat 22:37; Mk
12:30, 33; Lk
10:27).
That we sincerely
teach, and
continually
practice THE WAY
TO LOVE OURNEIGHBOR AS WE
LOVE
OURSELVES,
(Mat 5:43; 19:19;
8/9/2019 Mystery of the Church of the Living God_Volume 1

xi
22:39; Mk 12:31;
Lk 10:27; Rom
13:9; Gal 5:14; Jas
2:8).
That we diligently
teach and
zealously practice
HOW TO HAVE
TRUE SUCCESS
now in this time,
and in the world
to come,
SPIRITUAL
SUCCESS with
EVERLASTING
LIFE, (Mat 6:33;
Mk 10:28-30; Jn
13:17; Isa 58:13-
14).
That we seriously
teach and lovingly
practice turningback the hearts of
the fathers to the
children, and the
hearts of the
children to their
fathers, (Mal 4:6).
That we gently,tenderly, patiently
FEED and
NOURISH
SPIRITUALLY THE
FLOCK for whom
Christ The
Redeemer, the
Lamb of GOD
died, and
purchased with
His own blood,
(John 21:15, 16,
17; Acts 20:28; I
Pet 5:2).
That we
compassionately,
mercifully, and so
kindly HEAL THE
SICK, (Lk 9:1,2;10:9), when we
encounter them
as we go our way
to proclaim the
8/9/2019 Mystery of the Church of the Living God_Volume 1
12/245
Mystery of the Church of the Living God Volume I
xii
Gospel of the
Kingdom of God.
That we dopractice pure
religion undefiled
before God and
make visits and
care for the
helpless orphans,
the fatherless,
and the widows in
their affliction,
(Jas 1:27).
That we point to
the nations and
its peoples, and
families, that the
Eternal Creator
God has left a
window open for
the blessing of
health andprosperity to be
known if they
would be glad and
sing for joy, and
PRAISE THE GOD
OF CREATION for
all His wonderful
works! That theywould learn to
PRAY and PRAISE
the Everlasting
LORD, (Ps 67:1-7;
Ps 147:1-20;
148:1-14; 149:1-9;
150;1-6; Mat
26.30; Mk 14.26;
Eph 5.19; Col
3:16; Jas 5:13).
Ultimately, we
have to open the
minds of the
multitude to the
difference
between the holy,
and the profane,
(Ezek 22:26;
44:23), to the endthat we can turn
many to
righteousness,
(Dan 12:3). Not by

xiii
might, nor by
power but by
Gods Spirit, (Zech
4:6). For this isGods Will. By His
Word. On His Way.
To fulfill His Work.
Finally, The Work
of God-21st
Century is now
here to declare
GODs Holy Name,
and proclaim His
Great and
Wonderful Works,
to the children of
men! (Rom. 9:17;
verse 28; Ps. 8:3,
6; 40:5; 92:5;
75:1; 78:4; 107:8,
15, 21, 31; 111:4;
Isa. 57:12; Acts
9:15; Rev. 3:8).
All these, to
FEARLESSLY and
COURAGEOUSLY
PREPARE THE WAY
for the return of the
GREAT GOD, our
LORD and SAVIORJESUS CHRIST, King
of kings, and Lord of
lords, (Mat 24:14; Mk
13:10; Titus 2:13;
Rev 17:14; 19:16).
THIS IS THE VISION
THAT THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST
INSPIRES FOR THE
WORK OF GOD 21ST
CENTURY TO DO IN
THE ENTIRE
EASTERN
HEMISPHERE.

NOT ANY BROWN. HE CONSIDERS NO RACIAL DIVIDES. HE SEES NOTRICH MANS GOLD, NEITHER POOR MANS PENNIES IN THEIR HANDS. HE SEESNOT THE SCEPTRES AND CROWNS ON THE HEADS, NEITHER THE PLOWS AND
SPEARS HELD BY THE ARMS. NONE IN ALL THESE THAT HE CREATED IN HISIMAGE, IN HIS LIKENESS. HE LOOKS INTO THEIR HEARTS!
ULTIMATELY, THE SONS OF MAN, BORN OF WOMAN, WERE MADE TO BECOME
THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THEY WERE MADE TO INHERIT, AND TO TAKEPOSSESSION, OF ALL THE CREATED WORLDS, AND THEREAFTER, BY THE

HISTORY KEEPS REPEATING ITSELF: THE SHOCKING TRUE STORY OF
HOW THE FAMILY OF MAN TURNED BACK AND DEPARTED FROM THE

DUALIZED MINDS. MANS FLAWED, STUBBORN WILL. MANS VAIN

THOUSAND YEARS. IN ALL ITS ENTIRETY. THAT IT MUST NOW COME
TO AN END. TOTALLY UPROOTED. FULLY BURNED UP. AND THE 1,000
YEARS OF GLORIOUS CIVILIZATION UNDER THE ETERNAL CREATOR
GOD AND HIS KINGDOM MUST SOON BEGIN!
THE HIGHEST HEIGHTS IN THE ENTIRE COSMOS TAUGHT BY THE MOSTACCOMPLISHED YOGI, THE ENLIGHTENED GURU, THE REVERED MASTER, THEHONORED EARTHLY PATRIARCHS OF ALL RELIGIOUS FAITHS, THE FOREMOSTNEW AGE UTOPIAN DREAMERS.

THE WICKED ONE, THE GREAT DRAGONTHAT OLD SERPENT,
CALLED THE DEVIL, AND SATAN, WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE
WORLD, (REV. 12:9, 10; 20:3, 10).

PREFACE
The amazing story of mankind is stored in a big part in thestoried chronicles of the churches of mankind. Whether they
be in quaint little villages. Charming towns. Cities of whatever
size and configuration.
There the churches
have been formed. From the proverbial mustard seed, in mostcases. And they grew in size and form along with the growth
and size of their place of residence and locale. In many, there
are but a few churches, and small number of members. In a
few, there is the one dominant big church of numerous
members, surrounded by low-profile other churches with
different names, and small numbers of members.
The traditions of men have been cultivated and formed in the
churches originally formed. Homegrown, these traditions are
loved. The people in them stick to them, and protect it with
their lives and fortunes. Thereby, they hate, and are repelled
by, tradition-breakers.
The traditions they derived from their sacred scriptures are
kept by them with much awe. Much reverence. With fidelity.
And loyalty. The tradition they
received from their forefathers. That went down fromgeneration to generation. The latter are held in cultic affection.
They live and die for these traditions.
And so the saying: Whats good enough for my father, and his
father before him. is good enough for me.
8/9/2019 Mystery of the Church of the Living God_Volume 1

MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD Volume I

They have traditionally wedded their homegrown traditions
with the faith they believed was derived from their holy
scriptures that they have agreed to use. Whether personally, or
as a church. As an assembly, or a congregation, of like-mindedbelievers in the worship of their chosen deity, god, or gods..
They have embellished their assemblies, presided by their
chosen religious leaders. They are seen garbed in
extraordinary vestments, that seems holy to them. They carry
out their religious services with solemn rites and emblems.
They intone memorized prayers in numbers of times. They use
organs played with solemn sounds. With lofty notes of music.With stirring hymns.
So, beware, if you would be one who would dare! Your
MESSAGE AND THE TRUTH YOU BEAR AND BRING
OUGHT TO BE, AND MUST BE, THE REAL TRUTH. Lest
you come in bearing nebulous doctrines. And cause to fall
many to the ditch of spiritual confusion and destruction.
This duality is intrinsically, even tacitly, believed and retained,
in all the churches.
They devised this dichotonomous arrangement. For they live
as mortals, flesh and blood, born of women. The demands and
necessities of their continued survival, their being, and their
living, forced them to do so. They learned, over time, how to
master this dual skill, almost schizophrenic approach in their
mind and being.
For is not man a reasoning, thinking one (animal, to vocal
evolutionists and majority of published scientists. Human, to
majority of the others)?

Religion and church are intertwined from way back in ancient
times.
The community of believers throughout the ages generally
fellowship with each other, particularly those that share thesame body of beliefs, and traditions.
Hence, the arising and existence today of myriad
denominations called churches.
{Todays freedom of religion, attained with the sacrifice, blood, sweat, and tears of those
who bravely fought for it in the religious wars, has its blessings and upside. The downside
comes when the believers are misled and deceived by charismatic men who profess to be
chosen by God. The long term harm this kind of false teachings by false teachers, howeversincere, is incalculable}
They diverged over time. They were influenced by dominant
personalities who imposed their claimed revelations. Their
claimed visions. And men looking for leaders and a hope that
comes with it, went and followed these. They gave this, or that,
one their allegiance. Their devotion. Along with their fortune.
They were deceived by these allegeddeliverers. Falsemessiahs.
False prophets. They were swept by these militant charlatans,pied pipers, and verbose speakers. Swept by their charisma.
Spellbound by their thespian talents.
Over time, as they became multitude, they became adversaries.
Each side willed to impose their persuasions to others.
They went and formed different manners of worship, and
believed in myriad gods. These insisted their god is God. Andthey adapted nomenclatures to establish their different identity
from the others, now competitors and rivals.
They built architectural structures to fellowship and worship
in.

They called them chapels. Cathedrals. Basilica. Temples.
Tabernacles. Mosques. Minstrels. Houses of worship.
Synagogues. And more.
IS THERE A ONE TRUE CHURCH?
There could only be one Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.And He built His Church. This be the household of GOD.
It has been two millennia. His Church has been persecuted
thru all that twenty centuries. Continual hateful, vicious,violent attempts to extinguish it has come, and gone. And will
return. Till the very return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
adversary, Satan, the devil, that old dragon, never stops. Along
with his wicked minions.
Espionage and
infiltration has been used.
Pre-meditated
takeover, and watering down of all the true doctrines of God,even denying them altogether, has been made.
The Church that
Jesus, the Christ of God, built, thru the truly faithful and true
believers and practitioners of good courage, carries on. Though
the spiritual path remains narrow, and few be they that were
willing to walk therein.
He said: The gates of hell (DEATH, GRAVE) shall not prevailagainst it,, (Gospel Book of Matthew 16:18-19). IT DID NOT. AND IS
ALIVE TODAY!

THE WONDERFUL STORYMUST BE TOLD
THIS SACRED GOLDEN SCROLL SERIES IS THE AMAZING,
REALLY SPELLBINDING, TRULY ENLIGHTENING STORY OFTHE TRUE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, AND OF CHRIST.
THE STORY WAS NOT
DONE IN A CORNER. AS A MATTER OF FACT, ALL HISTORY IS
WITNESS THAT THE ONE WHO FOUNDED AND BUILT THE
CHURCH OF GOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS PUBLICLY
HOUNDED, FALSELY ACCUSED, OPENLY TORTURED, MADE
TO CARRY A WOODEN CROSS. AND FINALLY HANGED, SHED
HIS PRECIOUS LIFEBLOOD, AND DIED IN THE SIGHT OF MEN
AND WOMEN WITNESSES, ON CALVARY, A HIGH PLACE OFROCK IN JERUSALEM.
THE DETERMINED ADVERSARY OF GODS HEIRS OF
SALVATION, CALLED SATAN. THE INVISIBLE DEVIL, AND HIS
MALIGNANT, SIMILARLY INVISIBLE, DEMONS AND WICKED
SPIRITS,, HAVE CEASELESSLY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE
SPIRITUAL BODY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, ASHE HAS CAUSED HIS PHYSICAL BODY TO BE
MURDERED AND HANGED ON A TREE, A ROMANCROSS, ON CALVARY.
THE GOD OF HEAVEN NOW SPEAKS TO BRIGHTLYSHINE, TO MOST POWERFULLY RADIATE THE
ILLUMINATING LIGHT OF THE TRUTH OF THE CHURCH
OF THE LIVINGGOD, THE PILLAR AND BULWARKOF THE TRUTH, TO ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE
EASTERN HEMISPHERE.

PROLOGUE
THE MYSTERY OF THECHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD
MILLIONS, IN THEIR HUNDREDS OF TEN THOUSANDS, OFBELIEVERS HAVE COME TO ACCEPT THAT THEY MUST JOIN A
CHURCH.
There is fellowship there. Other fellow human beings are there. A
congregation of like-minded believers are there. There, friendships are
made. Families get together. Weddings celebrated. Fond memories are
remembered. Essentially, most everyone believes that salvation is
obtained or received thru the church.
IS THIS TRUE? THAT THEY MUST JOIN A CHURCH?
CAN YOU JOIN THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD?
Today, there are hundreds of millions of human beings, two
billion plus, all told, who profess the Christian faith, and are
called Christians. Christianity, as a religion, is embraced by
8/9/2019 Mystery of the Church of the Living God_Volume 1
34/245
MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD Volume I
34
more than one third of mankind, All these profess the Name of
Jesus Christ.
All these claim to the worship of, and allegiance to, GOD.
And about two-thirds of the religious of mankind areconnected thru the bloodlines of the patriarch Abraham,
father of many nations, calledthe father of the faithful, (Epistleto the Romans 4:16-18).
THE BOOK IN TWO VOLUMES
This Sacred Golden Scroll Series XCI Is a big book of twenty
four truth-laden chapters. So it will come in two volumes.
There are two levels of the Church of the Living God:
1. The VISIBLE congregation, composed of mortals, born of
woman, flesh and blood. They bear the NAME OF THEFATHER: GOD. SO Church of God. Christ asked His Father
so, (Gospel Book of John 17:11). Yet they are the churches of
Christ, (First Epistle to the Corinthians 11:16).
First Part, or Level 1 The physical listed members who bear
the SIGN: SABBATH KEEPING, or they are called Sabbath
KEEPERS. And TEN COMMANDMENTS KEEPERS.
THAT IS THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
Second Part, or Level 2 The Spirit of the Church of the
Living God, pillar and ground (bulwark) of the truth. They
live in, by, and with, the Spirit of the Law of Love, because

they are baptized, laid-hands on Spirit-begotten, converted,
children of God, (Book of Acts 6:6; 8:17).
> They are meek. They are humble. They are peacemakers.
> Their very conduct reflects the Spirit of God in them.
> The fruit of the Spirit is manifested in their love,faith,
hope, gentleness and tenderness, in their peace and calm
demeanor, goodness, patience, and in their righteousness,
humility and meekness, temperance and moderation, in word, in
thought, and in deed, (Epistle to the Galatians 5:22-23)Not
for their own glory. But giving credit, tribute, and all for theglory, praise, and honor ofGod. John 15:2; Eph.5:9; Col. 3:12
> The essence. The substance, of the Church of God. Thespirits are subject to them, and their names are listed written
in heaven, (Gospel Book of Luke 10:20), as they written inthe Book of Life, (Epistle to the Philippians 4:3).
> They are not self-righteous, neither vain, about their callingand profession, but dwell among the earths inhabitants, their
neighbors and fellowmen, in true humility, in a spirit of
harmony.
> They never give the
impression that the rest of mankind is left out, condemned to
everlasting hell. Such an idea is absolutely untrue. Most
certainly ungodly. A deceiving lie by deceived persons,
unscrupulously passing out deceitful, diabolical, cruel lies and
doctrines of devils.
For God our Saviour wants all men to be saved and to come to
the knowledge of the truth, (First Epistle to Timothy 2:3-4).
God wants everyone everywhere to repent.

The truth is revealed in this Sacred Golden Scroll.>
They seek to be of helpful service to them continually. They
live in the righteousness of God. They abide both by the visible,
codified letter, and in the spirit, of the Ten Commandments of
God (LOVE), (Books of Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 10:13;
10:4) which are holy, just and good, (Epistle to the Romans
7:12). They are, indeed, a peculiar people, in the true meaning
of the word, as the Holy Scriptures so defined, (Book ofDeuteronomy 14:2; 26:18; First Epistle Peter 2:9).
THIS DEFINES AND BARES THE IDENTITY, AND THEMEANING, OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY,(Epistle to the Ephesians 3:9).

Of utmost, even foremost, importance, you must understand
the real truth about the Church. In many ways, it is opposite to
what many believe what the Church is, and what it is all about.
BE FOREWARNED.
Yes, there is the Church that Jesus built.And as Christ designed it to be, it is the Family
ofGod on earth, (Epistle to the Ephesians 3:13-14).SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GODSO BELIEVE.
There are a number of many other things about
the Church ofGod that now you must understand.
> As it is called ekklesiain the original Greek, it
means called out ones.
> It is also called the Body ofChrist, (Epistle tothe Ephesians 1:22-23), of which He is the Head. The
Body has manymembers,everyone members
of one another, (Epistle to the Romans 12:5; FirstCorinthians 12:14). ! Cor 12;12; Eph 4:16
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO BELIEVE.

> The Church has a name. It is called CHURCH
OF GOD. (Twelve scriptures of the NewTestament Scriptures give the name: Church of
God). {WHATS IN A NAME?} In two places,it is called the Churches of Christ, (Epistles to the Romans16:16; First to the Corinthians 11:15),because He built it. {see page).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.
> The Church is described, metaphorically, as a
woman. (Woman in the wilderness to be kept safe
from thegreat tribulation, (Book of Revelation 12: 1-2, 5-6, 16-17).SO IT IS WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF GOD SO
BELIEVE.
> The Church is claimed and pronounced by theLord Jesus Christ as His Bride. To be keptpure. And spotless, prepared for her Wedding
with the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, (Book ofRevelation 21:2, 9).
SO IT IS WRITTEN. SO THE CHURCH OF GOD
BELIEVES.
> The Church is described as a spiritual organism.
It is composed of visible physical human
members. They become the spiritual congregation
of the saints, spirit-begotten, children of God,

and led by the Spirit of God, hence, sons of
God, recipient of the Spirit of adoption, (Epistle to theRomans 8:14-15).
THEY WERE CARNAL AND SECULAR, BEFORE THEY BECAME
SPIRITUAL, AND SPIRIT-LED MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, THEYWERE THE LIVING, WALKING DEAD. NOTE: ALL OF IT IN THE PAST
TENSE. THEY WERE ALIENS IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF
ISRAEL.WITHOUT HOPE. WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD. THEY WERENOT PART OF THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE. THEY WERE WILD
GRAPES, SO SPEAK, (Epistle to the Ephesians 2:1, 5, 11-14).
NOW, AS ADOPTED CHILDREN OF GOD, ALL SINS FORGIVEN, THEY ARE
MADE PURE. IN THE PRESENT TENSE, CONTUOUSLY.
THERE IS NO MORE CONDEMNATION. BY CONTINUAL REPENTANCE,THEY ARE EVER MADE CONTINUALLY NEW. EVERGREEN, SO TO
SPEAK, (Epistle to the Romans 8:1).
SO IT WRITTEN. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD
SO BELIEVES.

people, and that GOD is their God, and that is the
SEVENTH DAY SABBATH, (Books of Exodus 31:13, 17;20:8; Leviticus 19:3, 30; of the prophet Ezekiel 20:12,20).
> And the Annual SABBATHS, The Feast Days of
The LORD. (Book of Leviticus 23:1-4). Which they
faithfully observe and joyfully keep, either as
individually, or in joint fellowship of the Church
of the Living GOD. Week after week. Year after
year. For all their lives, as they draw breath.THE SUBJECTS ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH
ARE JUST AS WEAK AND UNFULFILLED. MADE TO PURSUE
GOALS AND RUN AFTER EMPTY DREAMS. ALL VANITY,
AND RUNNING AFTER WIND.
So as they remember to observe and keep the
Sabbaths, WEEKLY, AND TRI-ANNUALLY, of
God, these became emblazoned in the believer and
practitioners heart and mind, and whole being. A
fulfillment of Gods promise of a new covenant
with the spiritual commonwealth of spirit-
begotten Israel (composed of both spirit-begotten
Jews and Gentiles) that He will write His Law of
Love written in their hearts in the end of days,(Book of the prophet Jeremiah 31:33; Epistle to the Hebrews8:10).

ETERNAL GOD PLACED THE SUN AND MOON IN
THEIR FIXED ORBITS AS DIVINE MARKERS OF

The LORD God revealed to the people of Israel,
whom He took out of Egypt from their slavery for450 years, thru His human instrument Moses,
what those FEAST DAYS OF GOD ARE in the
Book of Leviticus chapter 23.
TheLord Jesus Christcame from heaven andmade manifest in to a human being, flesh and blood,
born of a woman, the virgin Mary. He kept those FeastDays, together with his twelve disciples, whom He later
turned into his twelve apostles. He came to set the
example to them. To the end that His believers,
followers and practitioners of the Faith He once

Outwardly and inwardly, the SIGN BETWEENGOD AND HIS PEOPLE becomes permanently

second nature. Keeping and observing His perfect

are holy and good becomes automatic, and alldone in perfect, joyful attitude, obedience, and
enthusiasm. SO IT IS

them the responsibility to live exemplary lives asthey follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ,

Only in a spirit of giving.
> Thus, whenever they observe and keep the Holy
Seventh-day Sabbath, and the
Holy Annual Sabbaths, three times a year, they
hold forth the Divine Sign of their sanctification.
The rest of mankind may refuse to do so, and
observe and keep their own sabbaths, and their
own feast days, apart from what the Holy
Scriptures reveal, (Book of the prophet Isaiah 1:13-`14).The world calls them holidays, and festival, orfeast, of this and that saint, or saints.

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE
CHURCH
You hear believers say: They go to church. Or, They went to
church.
And so it is generally, and traditionally, believed that they enter their
building of worship as the church. As proclaimed on the outside of thebuilding, the name of their church is drawn, either with sculpted letters
in metal, bronze or wood, or etched, engraved, or painted. Hence, their
place of worship is taken for granted as the church.
The right and correct way is to say: They went to worship services.(Of
the Church).
It really matters to be right about this issue.
When did those errant practices and traditions begin? It is quite foggy
when men try to look back to find out thru the dim mists of yore and
ancient time. What is practiced today are modern innovations and
added accepted ways that seemed pleasant, in the process of time.
To many others, over time, their particular church became as to an
exclusive club. An exclusive social gathering. And so, it came to be. And
in these practices, they became smug. And slowly adopted worldly
practices.
A religious leader in the large bloc of protestant believers observed
sadly: WE HAVE NOT OVERCOME THE WORLD. WE WERE
OVERCOME BY THE WORLD.

The New Testament Church of God worshipped in the FORMAT of
Fellowship and Worship Services in the Congregation attended by:
> Saluting, or greeting, one another with a holy kiss, (Epistlesto the Romans 16:16; First Corinthians 16:20; SecondCorinthians 13:12; First Thessalonians 5:26; Kiss ofcharity: First Peter 5:14).
> Fervent
Prayers. with all supplications,(First Epistle to Timothy 2:1;5:5; Epistle to the Hebrews 5:7). They PRAY, AND LIFT UP
THEIR HOLY HANDS WITHOUT DOUBTING, (First Epistle toTimothy 2:8). Luke 23:34; Ps134:2
> Singing of soulful
Psalms, vibrant Spiritual Songs of Praise, and stirring,
uplifting, ennobling Hymns,(Epistles to the Ephesians 5:19;Colossians 3:16).
> With the skillful Playing and Use of Musical Instruments,(see their names: Book of Psalms 149:3; 150:3, 4, 5).
> Interactive Communications of revelations, in an orderly
and decent manner, (First Epistle to the Corinthians14:26).
> Consistent, continual PRAYERFUL Reading, and diligent
Spirit-guided Study, of the Holy Scriptures.
Like the Bereans did, who studied, and searched the
Scriptures daily, if these things were so, (Book of Acts 17:11).
> And sincerePreaching by serving trained teachers (not novices, neither
neophytes), and service-oriented, able ministers who are
grounded in the Faith and in the Holy Scriptures. They who
labor in deep love for the everlasting Gospel, and the holy
brethren.

from them, and carried up into heaven. Mark 16:19
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy. Mat 28:9
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing

If NOT faithfully practiced and carefully observed as revealed in the

IN VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE
COMMANDMENTS OF MEN,Thus, says the Lord Jesus Christ,
(Gospel Books of Matthew 15:7-9; Mark 7:7-9). For thisforthright declaration and pronouncements by the Master Builder of
the Church of God, of Christ, He was hated and vilified by the religious
leaders in His days in the flesh among men He created, (Gospel Bookof John 1:1).

Ifye have heard of the dispensation of the grace ofGod which is given to you ward: 3 Howthat by revelation He made known unto me the mystery;4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may
understand my knowledge in the mystery ofChrist. 5 Which in other ages was not made knownunto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of the promise in
Christ by the gospel. 9 And to make known what is the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, which
is from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus
Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities, and powers in heavenly places might beknown by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Epistle to the Ephesians 3:3-10).
WHY ARE THERE MANY DIFFERENTCHURCHES ON EARTH TODAY?
As many as the churches are, so is the story why and how they
started, many, and long.
It is in the nature of things that human beings are divided into
types and kinds.
The following kind. THE FOLLOWER. THEFOLLOWERS.
And the leading kind. THE LEADER, THE ONE, as heis often tagged in media and religious literature.
So long as there are followers who would rather followsomeone, just to sit back, and relax, there will always be a
leader, or leaders. Leaders who are supposed to lead by work,and example. Not merely to have and to use the power of
authority and command. And end up using selected scriptures
to collect money from the followers and supporters.
The principle is true in the story of the Church. And over time
in the churches.

The words and texts of the Holy Scriptures, or the Holy Bible,
are claimed to be the unexpurgated source of the articles of
faith and practice of their particular church.
A catch phrase here. A compound of words there. A single
word in that. Then a church is born. Just like that! It becomes

NEVER AN IDLE WORD
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou
shalt be condemned.(Gospel Book of Matthew 12:36-37).
Sanctify them thru thy truth: thy word is
truth,(Gospel Book of John 17:17).
> It is important now to realize that all religious doctrinal
falsehoods, masquerading as Truth, but are lies, are idle
words. Every religious leader who proclaims false gospels,
which are idle words, will be held accountable before God in
the Day of Judgment. They are indicted by these very
declaration of the Creator of the human race, The Captain of
salvation, the Author and Finisher of the Faith, (Epistle tothe Hebrews 2:10; 12:2; Gospel Book of John 1:1-2).
> Whatever is not of faith is sin, (Epistle to the
Romans 14:23). Whatever it is that is not according to the
Faith once delivered to the saints, are practices of sin!
This condemns false religious faiths and man-invented
lawless and faithless religious practices and traditions.

Then said Jesus, Father forgive them, for they know not
what they do,(Gospel Book of Luke 23:34).
He came to die for the redemption of mankind. To heal the
human race. Afflicted by all manner of physical diseases andits complications, and every type and kind of psycho-somatic
disorders.
In their inner man, in
their mind, heart, and spirits: Every, and all, manner, of
spiritual afflictions. including demon possessions, and serious
demon influences. The latter not being recognized by human
physicians and learned doctors.
> Why did mankind need to be redeemed?
The answer lies before that time of the need for humanity to be
redeemed.
> When GOD created the perfect and beautiful earth, it was
not meant to be ruined. It was created to be inhabited. That
original Earth was to be the dwelling place of mortal
inhabitants who will live, and later die, and later live by a
resurrection from the grave, to live forever in immortality.
1 IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN
AND THE EARTH, (Book of Genesis 1:1).
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?...Ps 104:5; Prov 8:29
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath
stretched the line upon it?6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the
corner stone thereof?

for joy,(Book of Job 38:4-7).
