What & why?

What is the problem of modern churches?

Excellent interview by Matt Crane with David Hoffman explaining the issue ^

So that leads us to the....

Why?

By David Vallance

I.  Why is the White Horse still being misidentified as the LORD Jesus Christ?

Revelation 6: 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

The LORD Jesus Christ the Lamb is clearly with the church when He is present, when the beast says “come and see.”

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

So who is on the White Horse? He is a counterfeit Christ with a bow and a crown.

A Bow has been misidentified as a weapon, however, when you use the LAW of FIRST MENTION (that is use to find the true meaning of a word) describes a bow as a symbol of a covenant, a treaty that will be used to start the Tribulation after the Rapture.

Genesis 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Isaiah 28: 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

18 ¶ And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

II.   Why does the Church still think they are right with God when the Word of God says they will be inept, when He returns?

The LORD says about the last Church age Laodicean which means rights of the people and the LORD is outside of the Church.  I used to think that I belonged to the right Church, however, ALL churches are corrupted and have strayed away from the WORD of God! We have always had corrupt churches, but today is different! We say we believe the WORD of God, however, a deep dive into the WORD of God is never seen.  Christian deacons today can’t answer the fundamentals of the WORD of God and what is the most important to God.

Revelation 3: 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

The last Church age is symbolized as a net cast into the sea and brings up good and bad  

Matthew 13:47 ¶ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Note: The Angels sever the wicked from among the just, so Christians and the Lost in the last days are hard to tell apart.  It scares me to think that I have to be severed from the Lost when the Bible tells me to be separated from the world.

2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

III.  Why does the Church believe they are so important with God, when the Bible is so clear that it is the WORD OF GOD?

Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Psalms 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Psalms 119:89 ל (LAMED). For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Why do we have other versions?

The LORD Jesus Christ is called the WORD of GOD in the Gospel of John;

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The WORD of God uses 66 words to describe the LORD Jesus Christ. This was done to show you that (that are Wise) the 66 Books of your King James Bible is all you need nothing more nothing less.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

When the LORD of Glory returns to take this earth for Himself and His Bride, His name is called the WORD of God.

Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

What I have learned from studying the WORD of God is, the LORD OF GLORY does not need me to complete His WORD or plan for eternity, however, I need Him to complete my life and eternity, for without Him I have nothing, but Hell to pay, for not having His Blood atonement!

How to be saved:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

How do we stay saved?  We don’t , but he does!

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
