Counterfeit Christianity Sedition and Heresies

COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY SEDITION AND HERESIES

Counterfeit Christianity occurs when men lay claim to a title that is reserved for Christ alone.
Seventeen times in the New Testament the word shepherd is used. This word shepherd is always used in the singular when referring to Christ.
There is only one verse in all of the New Testament where the word shepherd, is translated to pastors (Eph 4:11). The problem with this translation is significant.

Matt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Counterfeit Christianity and its false teachers do not want you to know that the word shepherd is changed to pastors, to justify their position and power, albeit falsely (Eph 4:11). If there was to be a hierarchy in the church apart from Christ, He would have mentioned it at least once, but He does not!

If there was to be a hierarchy in the church apart from Christ, He would have mentioned it at least once, but He does not!

John 10:11-12 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY AND THE MOSAIC LAW AND ORDINANCES

When we walk in the spirit of Christ, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. To be quickened by the Spirit is to walk orderly in the Spirit, wherein we do not desire vain glory as do the false teachers (Gal 5:16, 25, 26).

Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

The manifestation of the works of the flesh include the sins of idolatry, variance, seditions and heresies.

Variance represents a contradiction to the teachings of Jesus, brought about by those responsible for Counterfeit Christianity, who claim to be pastors and lead the sheep astray.

Matt 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Seditions are in reference to those who cause divisions in the body of Christ. This crime runs rampant in these last days.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Heresies are beliefs or opinions that are contrary to true Christian doctrine, as taught by Christ. They are the unbiblical teachings and commandments of men.

Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Idolatry is not only practiced in modern-day Christian circles, it is applauded and highly sought-after in this new age Counterfeit Christianity cult.

1 John 2:15-16 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Idolatry is materialism, pride, self-indulgence and the admiration of others including those that call themselves pastors.

Mainstream so-called pastors teach tithing and keeping the Sabbath. But the Old Testament laws and ordinances are no longer in play for the New Covenant believer.

Not only is teaching tithing to a new covenant church deceitful, it is also harmful and instills greed and selfishness. Everything we have belongs to the Lord, to proclaim that 90% of what we have is for us to do with as we please, is contrary to the teachings of Jesus.

This non-spiritual mindset leads to the sin of covetousness or the lusts of the flesh. The vast majority of those who call themselves Christians believe, that as long as long as they tithe, and spend a few hours listening to a preacher on Sunday, that God is very pleased with them.
The remainder then, of their time and money is for them to do with as they wish.
Counterfeit Christianity promotes this way of thinking that leads to a selfish and self-centered materialistic lifestyle.

Christ abolished the Mosaic Law and ordinances, this includes tithing and the keeping of the Sabbath.

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ…

After the new law of Christ was established, the claim of justification through the Law of Moses is simply a heretical doctrine.

Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

To attempt or pretend to be justified by the Old law is to bring upon one’s self a deadly curse. As well, without the shed blood of Christ, there is no covering for one’s sins.

Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

We are not under the Old Testament law, but the law of Christ’s grace.

Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

To claim to be under the Old Testament law is to deny the New Law of Christ. As well, one forfeits the gift of grace and demonstrates a lack of faith in the workings of what Christ accomplished at the cross.

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law…

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
