POINTING THE FINGER

POINTING THE FINGER

Christendom continually points her finger at other religious groups that refuse to compromise with Paganism. She scornfully calls them a Cult because they won't do the same things that Christendom does. In her weakest hours - Christendom freely adopted pagan philosophies, pagan doctrines, pagan rites, and pagan festivals. Then Christendom sprinkled holy water on these compromises, and gave them a veneer of Christian names. And now, all those who wish to return to pure Christianity - before the compromises - are sneered at, made fun of, and called "A CULT".

But Who Really is The Cult ?

Who That Who Who Really is The Cult ? evil group despised makes you feel so angry sin before your eyes ?

Is it the Bible Students ? Who share the Father's Name Are these the CULT of hatred the ones you often blame?

Christendom's Wide Road of Worldly Compromise

"The man...COMPROMISES with worldlings, and to quiet his own conscience, he invents a theory by which such compromises are justified, even commended. He receives the praises of the judicious, but he has, in truth, gone over to the enemy." -(C-H,Spurgeon, 1888, Sword and the Trowel) "No lover of the Gospel can conceal from himself the fact that the days are evil. A new religion has been initiated, which is no more Christianity than chalk is cheese, and this religion, being destitute of moral honesty, palms itself off as the old faith with slight improvements..." -C.H.S., Quoted by Russell H. Conwell, 1892 in "Life of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the World's great Preacher" "We have no superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas. We find no Scriptural warrant whatever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and, consequently, its observance is a superstition, because it is not of divine authority." -(Charles Spurgeon, Sermon on Dec. 24, 1871).

BLACK IS WHITE AND WHITE IS BLACK Yesterday's Heresy Became Christendom's Accepted Faith
"The story of the Christian church between Pentecost of 31 A.D. ad the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D., almost 300 years later, is an amazing story of Compromise. It is the story of how yesterday's

orthodoxy became today's heresy and how old heresies came to be considered orthodox Christian doctrine. It is the story of how church tradition and the teaching of the bishops came to supersede the Word of God as a source of doctrine. It is a story that is stranger then fiction, yet very much historically verifiable." -John H. Ogwyn, "God's Church Through The Ages." "It is apparent to me that the Christian religion has been corrupted from very early times, and that these corruptions have been mistaken for essential parts of it, and have been the cause of rendering the whole religion incredible." -Quoted Stannus, Origin of Doctrine of Trinity, p. 23. "This cultivation of pagan philosophy by Christian teachers greatly displeased those who were attached to the ancient simple faith, as taught by Christ and His apostles; for they feared, what afterwards actually happened, that the purity and excellence of divine truth would suffer by it." -The Translator of Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History, James Murdock, D.D.,

PRIME EXAMPLES OF CHRISTENDOM'S COMPROMISE WITH PAGANISM

"The forms and ceremonies of paganism gradually crept into the worship. Some of the old heathen feasts became church festivals with change of name.... " - (Story of the Christian Church, p.79) by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut "Subtly...the old gods had entered their churches... And they live still in the festivals of Christianity." --(Testament: The Bible and History, Romer, 1988, pp. 230-31). "It is interesting that the holiest day of the liturgical Christian year,

Easter Sunday, bears the name of the pagan sex goddess Eastre and the pagan sun god Solis." -Panati, Charles. Sacred Origins of Profound Things. New York: Penguin Books USA Inc., 1996. "It was in the fifth century that the Roman Catholic Church commanded that the birth of Christ be observed forever on December 25th, the day of the old Pagan Roman feast of the birth of Sol, one of the names of their pagan sun-god ! " - Encyclopedia Americana, Vol.6, p.623 "THE BIRTHDAY OF Nimrod, the son of the Babylonian Queen, was adopted by the Roman Church, giving it the name of Christ. This tendency on the part of the apostate Church of Rome, to compromise and meet paganism half-way was very early developed." -The Two Babylons; pg. 93 Alexander Hislop "The doctrine that Jesus Christ the Son of God - was God the son - was decreed by worldly and ecclesiastical powers. Men were forced to accept it at the point of the sword or else. Thus, the error of the trinity was propounded to the end that ultimately people believed it to be the truth. Thus Christianity became in essence like 'Babylonian' heathenism, with only a veneer of Christian names." --- Forgers of the Word -1983 by Victor Paul Wierwille "the doctrine of the Trinity...is contrary to all common sense. It is contrary to Scripture. Its origin is totally Pagan..." -J.N. Loughborough, Review and Herald, XVIII, November 5, 1861, p. 184

"The Papacy has in some of its churches, an image of the Triune God, with three heads on one body. The Babylonians had something of the same. So utterly idolatrous was the Babylonian recognition of the Triune Divine unity, that Jehovah, the Living God, severely condemned his own people for giving any countenance to it." -Alexander Hislop The Two Babylons (pp. 16-19).

Those who refuse to compromise with Paganism Are called - A hated "CULT"
"If you lived on the world's terms, the world would love you as one of its own. But since I picked you to live on God's terms and no longer on the world's terms, the world is going to hate you." (John 15:19)(MSG)-BibleGateway "Viewed globally....Jehovah's witnesses are the most hated and persecuted group of Christians of the twentieth century." - A Brief History of A Century of Religious-State Conflicts ; by Jerry Bergman ; PH. D. Jesus Said : "...they have hated both me and my Father..." (Matthew 15:24)(NIV)-BibleGateway

WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS ?

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.

As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. (John 15:18-20)(NIV)-BibleGateway "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands STANDS FIRM to the end will be saved. " (Matthew 10:22)(NIV)-BibleGateway "Jesus declared... 'salvation is from the Jews. ... the true worshipers will worship THE FATHER.' " (John 4:23,24)(NIV)-BibleGateway "True Christians NEVER compromise... (Matt. 6:24; Acts 4:19, 20) The Christians, strong in their faith, would make no such compromises." - The Book of Culture, by Ethel Rose Peyser, 1934, p. 549.

GOD SAYS
"So - Leave The Corruption and DO NOT COMPROMISE ; leave it for good," says God. "Don't link up with those who will pollute you. I want you all for myself." (2Corinthians 6:17)(MSG)-BibleGateway

In The "Last Days"

"...in the LAST DAYS... Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. Even though they will make a show of being religious - their religion won't be real...." (2Timothy 3:1,4,5)(CEV)-BibleGateway
