SPELLING EDITED Z-2. HAS JESUS ALREADY RETURNED INVISIBLY? Now to most every Christian who knows the Bible and what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity will find this to be a rather ODD question. But there are some Christians who are being dogmatically taught by their church denomination that Jesus has returned and that their church ALONE is the ONE TRUE church and if you do not believe what THEIR church teaches then you cannot be saved. In fact, some of those churches sincerely believe and teach that all other churches are of Satan and therefore they alone are the TRUE Christians. The reason that I am writing this study is to WARN Christians who may not be aware that there are church denominations that teach that Jesus has already returned so that you will not fall prey to their deceptive teachings. Please read the words of Jesus himself WARNING us as Christians to NOT be DECEIVED by those teaching that Jesus has returned. Matthew 24:23-31. “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it NOT. 24. For there shall arise false Christ’s (Or those saying that Christ returned to the earth as he promised), and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very elect. 25. Behold, I have told you before. 26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it NOT. 27. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (In other words, we will not need any man to tell us that Jesus has returned because we will all know it at the same time. Please read the study “THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS” to become rooted and grounded in the word of truth lest you also be deceived by one of these false Christs, false prophets, false teachers, or false churches that wrongly teach that Jesus has already returned along with many other false teachings such as, in order to receive eternal life, you must believe in both Father God and in Mother God. You may think. how could anyone believe such things, but I tell you that there are Christians being deceived by such teachings and some Christian families are being torn apart because these churches instill such fear in their followers, that they alone are the one true church and you cannot receive eternal life unless you believe what their church denomination teaches.) 28. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days (Or IMMEDIATELY after the 3 ½ years of great tribulation) shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30. And THEN shall appear the SIGN of the Son of man in heaven: (Speaking of in the SKY or in the Earth’s atmosphere there shall appear a SIGN of Jesus returning) and THEN shall ALL the tribes of the earth MOURN, and they shall SEE the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with POWER and great glory. 31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” In other words, plain and simple, WE, as true born again faithful Christians, will be caught up into the air to be WITH Jesus AT his COMING. So we will NOT need to be TOLD by anyone that he has returned. Again, please read the studies that I have written on the second coming of Jesus, the great tribulation, the rapture of the church, and the wrath of God to become rooted and grounded in the truth of the whole word of Almighty God. In this study, we will take a look at some of these churches so that those IN those churches will see that their church is not teaching them the truth of the WHOLE word of God. And also that Christians will have the knowledge to keep themselves and others from being deceived and help those who are being deceived to see the truth and come out from those false churches which the mainstream church denomination calls CULTS. Let us begin this study by letting you, my readers and seekers of the truth, be made aware of the teaching called “preterism” or more precisely “full preterism” which is not actually a church denomination but rather a doctrine that can even be found in some non-denominational churches. Full preterism teaches that Jesus returned in 70 AD and partial preterism teaches that some things in Matthew 24 were fulfilled in 70 AD but the coming of Jesus is still yet future. And among those Christians who are partial preterists, there are some who believe that the great tribulation has already been fulfilled in 1948 but again believe that the coming of Jesus is yet future. BUT all the SIGNS have already been fulfilled, so to them, Jesus can return at any second. I have in-depth studies on why preterism is not sound Biblical teaching and why the great tribulation has not already been fulfilled in 1948. Please read the following studies: “WHY PRETERISM IS A FALSE TEACHING!” “DID THE GREAT TRIBULATION END IN 1948?” Then there are some churches, actually, there are two or three churches that split from the Witnesses of Christ church that began in 1948 by a man named Ahnsahnghong who claimed to be Christ returned in the flesh. In other words, these churches sincerely believe that Jesus returned as the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, in the FLESH, to begin a NEW AGE called the age of the Holy Spirit. And NOW, according to their OWN personal PRIVATE interpretation of the Scripture, the WAY to receive eternal life has CHANGED from what the New Testament teaches. One of these churches is named World Mission Society Church of God abbreviated as WMSCOG and two of their essential teachings, in order to receive eternal life, is be baptized in the name of the Father, Jehovah, in the name of the Son, Jesus, and in the name of the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong and to believe in both Father God and in Mother God without which no one can be saved. Please read the following studies showing why their teachings are not sound Biblical teachings. “MUST A WOMAN’S HEAD BE COVERED?” “DID OUR SOULS PREEXIST IN HEAVEN?” “WHAT IS THE AGE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?” Then there are some Christians, like the Millerites, some Seventh Day Adventists, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses that sincerely believe that Jesus returned INVISIBLY in the 1800s. I say the 1800’s because there were dates set and they did not SEE Jesus return on those dates so the leaders made their third prediction become an INVISIBLE return of Jesus, lest they are seen as false prophets and lose all their followers. Please read the studies: “IS JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY?” “SABBATH TRUTH REMEMBER THE SABBATH!” Then there are those claiming to be Jesus who has returned. Here is the list of the many FALSE Christ’s claiming to be Jesus returned in the flesh. Jesus of Porto Rico whose name is Jose Luis Miranda Jesus of Siberia, a Russian Messiah, Sergey Torop. Sergey Torop’s compound is in Siberia Jesus of Australia named Allen John Miller. Jesus of South Korea named Ahnsahnghong. Jesus of England named David Shaler. Jesus of the Philippian, Apollo Quiboloa, 2005 Sun Myung Moon, The Moonie Cult. Unification Church. Jesus of Brazil named Inri Christo Mahatria is a teacher much like all NEW AGE Teachers and the Scientology church where the Universe is God and basically, God is your “genie in the bottle”, so to speak, where your WISH is his command. Please read 2 Timothy 4:2-5. “Preach the WORD (The true Gospel of Jesus Christ written in the NEW Testament under the NEW Covenant); be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; (Or desiring teachings that are PLEASANT to their ear to hear) 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables. 5. But watch YOU in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.” Then there are the cults and cult leaders that have brainwashed their followers to commit mass suicide all together while other cult leaders have brainwashed their followers to commit acts of terror and mass murder. Son of God, David Koresh of Waco Texas, USA. Jesus of Guyana named Jim Jones. Jesus of USA White Applegate, Heaven’s Gate cult Jesus of Japan named Shoko Asahara How many MORE false Christs, false prophets, false teachers, and false churches will it take before Christians take DECEPTION serious enough to get into the word of God for themselves to make absolutely sure that what they are being taught is the truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God? If you are in a church that teaches that they alone are the ONE true church, then that should be a red flag to you that you may be in a false church or in a church that has some major false teachings. If there is a member in your church who have LEFT your church over church doctrine, then that should raise a flag to you to search out that doctrine for yourself to see if it is sound Biblical teaching or if it is false teaching. If you are in a church that discourages you from asking questions about church doctrine, then that should raise a red flag to you to search the scriptures for yourself to see if what you are being taught is the truth of the whole word of God. If your church tells you that you cannot understand or correctly interpret the scriptures without their church leaders or prophet, who writes church doctrine for the church, then that should raise a red flag to you. If the church you attend practices SHUNNING and they dogmatically demand that they ALONE are the ONE true church then that should raise a red flag to you to search the word of God for yourself and to get out of that church. But before you do share the TRUTH that the Holy Spirit has revealed to you, tell as many loved ones who are in that church, because they will not be allowed to talk with you once they excommunicate you from the church and SHUN you from your family, wife, husband, children or whatever family members that you were not able to reach before they kick you out of their church. I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church and I was taught that if I ever left the Roman Catholic Church I could not be saved because they are the one true church and only Catholics can go to heaven. And when I became a true born again Christian, I remembered the FEAR in me to break all ties with the Roman Catholic Church. I had to read and meditate what the Bible ITSELF is teaching and make a quality decision, by FAITH, to trust what the word of God was teaching me over what the Roman Catholic Church had taught me. So, I implore all my Catholic readers to search the scriptures for yourself calling on God to teach you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Listen to the testimonies of former and ex-Catholics. If you are a Mormon, I implore you to LISTEN to those former and ex-Mormons who are witnessing to you with the TRUE Gospels of Jesus Christ. If you are a Jehovah’s Witness, I implore you to LISTEN to former and ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses who are exposing the errors of the Watchtower Society teachings. If you are a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church or any seventh day of the week Sabbath-keeping church then I implore you to LISTEN to what former and ex-members of your church are trying to show to you about the errors of interpretations being made by the leaders of these churches. If you are a member of the World Mission Church of God, then I implore you to LISTEN to your former and ex-members who sincerely love you and who are trying to show you the ERRORS of interpretation made by Ahnsahnghong and other leaders in your church. If you are a member of the International Church of Christ, then I implore you to LISTEN to your former and ex-members of your church reaching out to you, so that you can see the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And even if you are in a non-denominational church that believes that there are true Christians in almost every church denomination, I still implore you to search the word of God for YOURSELF to make sure that all of what you are being taught is the truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. More and more Christians are learning straight from the Bible that the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine, that teaches that Jesus IS the father and that the Father IS the Son, is NOT sound Biblical teaching. More and more Christians are learning straight from the Bible that the doctrine of the Trinity is NOT a SOUND Biblical teaching. More and more Christians are learning straight from the Bible that Jesus did NOT preexist before his virgin birth and that from his virgin birth to the cross and resurrection Jesus was fully a human being void of any divine nature. Christians are learning that the Son of man, Jesus, was highly exalted after the cross, to be given the divine nature of immortality, to become the firstborn of every creature speaking of every NEW creature. Here at AMatterOfTruth.com, I do my best to teach my readers to search the word of God for themselves and to ask questions if they do not agree with what I myself have concluded to be the truth of the whole word of Almighty God. Now churches should ever be afraid of their members questioning the church's statements of faith and the doctrines that the church teaches as being essential for salvation. I know that some churches do indeed dogmatically demand that if a Christian does not believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, then they are not a true Christian and they are dead in their sins and cannot be saved until they believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. But this is NOT what the Bible itself teaches and therefore to ME, if a church wants to continue teaching the doctrine of the Trinity, then they should teach this doctrine as a DEBATABLE doctrine and NOT as an essential doctrine that MUST be believed in order to be saved. If Trinitarians only knew how many Christians leave Trinitarian churches because they are demanded to believe the doctrine of the Trinity and they get suck into a CULT. Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you search the word of truth for YOURSELF to see if what you are being taught is the truth of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. Your brother in Jesus Christ, Brother Mark. RETURN TO HOMEPAGE AT |
