Celibacy: The Ideal Life

For fifteen centuries, the Church has taught that celibacy is the ideal life, based on a proper and clear understanding of Scripture. Yet, with the Protestant Reformation, this doctrine was reversed, and instead, marriage became the ideal. The idea that celibacy was ideal was scorned, and demonised, and marriage became elevated over celibacy. This idea has continued well into contemporary times where many Christians think that marriage is the ideal.  Marriage has now become the most serious concern of many if not most Christians, irrespective of 'denomination' precisely because of how the idea that celibacy is not ideal, even wrong or unnatural, while marriage is ideal has been propagated down the centuries. This minor issue has become a major issue, while major issues, such as the doctrines of the Trinity, theosis and Christian militancy have been shunned. Many professing Christians are not concerned with fighting evil, but only concerned about marriage and the earthly affai...

A Vision about the spirit of Religion

I saw a vision during the evening on Friday 26 April 2019: I saw a woman being tied up in metal chains. There were chains all over her. She was struggling and crying out. As she cried out, a man placed  a duct tape, with two strips of heavy-duty tape cross over each other, over her mouth to stop her cries. As she continued to cry out, the man slapped her in the face twice to make her shut up. The woman symbolises those under the spirit of religion. The chains symbolises bondage, and the man symbolises those who use religion to oppress others, and hold them in bondage, more specifically spiritual bondage . The Lord later revealed to me that the chains are the rules that religion imposes on people based on false doctrines that people try to find, by twisting Scripture. These rules tie people up in bondage. The duct tape symbolises the attempt to stop people from calling out to God for truth, because they are being told that the false doctrines imposed by religious people are the ...

The spirit of Religion is Full of Carnality, Sensuality and Perversion

These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.  But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:  how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.  These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. (Jude 1:16-19) There are many professing followers of Christ who are not true followers of Christ, but are religious. They treat following Jesus like a religious leader, and Christianity like a religion. However, that is not what true Christianity is. True Christianity is not about being religious, but about being truly spiritual. Religion enslaves, whereas true spirituality in Christ, as opposed to the false spirituality found in false religions, sets us free. The spirit of religion is the spirit of carnality. It is a wicked, evil an...

The Carnality of Religion and Accursed Lawlessness of Legalism

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:5) Religion is not godly or holy. It is precisely religion that makes people who were one time being drawn to genuinely seeking the truth about Jesus turn away from the truth. That is not an excuse that one is making on behalf on such people. It is a simply a true indictment about what religion is - false and hypocritical. Religion is not of God. No where in the Word of God does it ever say that we are to be religious or that following Jesus is a religion. No! Jesus is not religion. Jesus is a person. No one can find Jesus if he or she is seeking religion. For Jesus is not religion or a religious leader. He is God Himself. The essence of religion is not simply that one tries to keep the Law of God but cannot, because one is unrighteous (Isaiah 64:6). It is that it uses the Law of God unlawfully.This is the inevitable result of an unrighteous person trying to keep the Law of God. Trying...

False Love is Self-centred Love that Worships Oneself and Hates God

The doctrine of love is the doctrine that people in today's Church love the most. People love to hear about the doctrine of love, not because they are full of love, but because they want to be loved. However, their want to be loved is derived from their self-centred love that is vile, evil and wicked. They want to be loved, but have no love themselves. That is the height of all self-love, which is nothing but idolatry. The ultimate manifestation of idolatry is the love of self. It is to love oneself for being oneself which is exactly what the problem of self-love. It regards oneself as worthy of love, when one is not worthy of love at all. It is a proud love of self, that the world regards as 'self-respect'. Self-love is Adamic, full of venom and the hatred of God. For it thinks highly of itself, in thinking itself to be worthy when it is not worthy at all, but worthy only for eternal Hellfire for seeking to be independent of God.  Independence from God is the beg...
