BILL WIESE EXPOSED (23 MINS IN HELL)

THE ABSOLUTE LIES OF BILL WIESE EXPOSED (23 MINS IN HELL)
By O. Khodjo
Welcome to mis-translations and mis-interpretations
This paper is a real mix facts, take time to read the scriptures that comes with it.

Whose report do you believe? The church or Prophet Isaiah?
Was Jesus a handsome man WITH a long hair according to the church paintings?
According to the Christian Doctrine, Jesus never felt sick is it true? But what says the Prophet?

Isaiah 53:2--"For He [Jesus-this is a prophecy about the coming Messiah] shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He [Jesus] has NO form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is NO beauty that we should desire Him."

Most people are well aware of the fact that there are no photographs of Jesus. Neither did Jesus ever sit for an official painting of Himself. So most realize that these representations of Jesus may not be perfect, but probably they believe that they are pretty close. At least it is gratifying for them to think He looked like this.

"He has no beauty to attract our eyes, no charm to make us choose Him" (Isa. 53:2, Moffatt Translation)

Many supposed pictures of Jesus have been painted to portray Him as the most handsome and perfect example of masculinity (though some feminine traits are present in most of them) the world has ever seen or known. Many artists are almost obsessed in portraying Jesus as the most handsome, majestic, and noble man to have ever lived. But in trying to so honour Him, they rather conspicuously contradict how the Scriptures describe Him. Jesus had nothing physically appealing that called attention to Him or made Him desirable to women.

Here's how the Concordant Literal Old Testament translates Isa. 53:2
"NO shape has He NOR honour when we shall see Him, And NO appearance NOR loveliness that we will covet [desire] Him."

See what I mean? "Who has believed our [Isaiah's] report?" We just read it, but will you believe it? God said through Isaiah that the coming Messiah (Jesus the Christ) would be fragile and have absolutely NO COMELINESS, NO GOOD LOOKS, that anyone would ever "desire Him." 
Has anyone ever noticed Isa.53: 3"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief" [Heb: 'choliy,' also defined as, "malady, disease, and sickness" (Dr. Strong's Hebrew Dictionary). Let's look at a couple of other translations of Vs. 3:
"A Man of pains and knowing ILLNESS." (Concordant Literal Old Testament).

"Man of pains, and familiar with SICKNESS" (Rotherham's Emphasized Bible).

"A Man of suffering, accustomed to INFIRMITY" (The New American Bible For Catholics).

"A Man of pain, Who knew what SICKNESS was" (James Moffett Translation).

Who said Jesus never felt sick? Ask your Pastors, Apostles, Bishops let them explain this scripture! Of the 38 times that this Hebrew word 'choliy' and its root appear in Scripture, 33 times it is translated as "sick, sickness, or disease." Are you beginning to see something about Jesus you didn't know before? Imagine that: Not only was Jesus not handsome, but was also familiar with and accustomed to "sickness and diseases." Let's look at some New Testament proof of Jesus' sickness and diseases:
And He [Jesus] said unto them [religious leaders and congregation]"Ye ['Ye' means 'ALL of you'] will surely say unto ME this proverb, Physician [Jesus is the Great Physician], heal Thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country [Jesus healed many in Capernaum, and now they want to see Jesus HEAL HIMSELF]. 

"And He said... No prophet is accepted in his own country... many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah... But unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta... a widow. And many lepers... and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman... And all they in the synagogue [the congregation and Church leaders], when they heard these things, were filled with wrath... and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill where their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong" (Luke. 4:23-28). 

Don't think that all sickness and disease is the result of sinning. Or that sickness is God's way of showing His displeasure towards us. Jesus had not only a one-time sickness, but was inflicted with sickness much of His life.-That is Isaiah’s report, whose report will you believe? The church or Prophet Isaiah?.

Timothy was a very loyal follower of Jesus, and he was always sick: 
"Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and your often [Gk: 'frequent'] infirmities" (I Tim. 5:23). 

Another friend of Paul:
"Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellow soldier... ye had heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him... Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me" (Phil. 2:25, 27, 30).

Another dedicated member of the church:
“Greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus. Do your best to get here before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers. The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you” (2 Timothy 4:20-22)
Ask yourself why Paul could not heal them? Did the bible tell us they were cursed? Did the bible tell us they have sinned against God? Nope! The bible says no such thing, they were all natural causes (illness).
One more Scripture to prove that Isaiah's portrayal of Jesus is nothing like the modern Church representation of Him: Try to square the pictures you have seen of Jesus with this statement of God's Word:

"Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him?" (I Cor. 11:14). (Shame” is translated from the Greek “atimia,” and means, "infamy, indignity, disgraceful, dishonour, reproach, shame.")

So now, how many of you will continue not believing Isaiah's report or God's Word? Will you continue bowing down and paying pious homage to these notorious, unscriptural representations of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
Now that you know the truth on this subject, will you continue to picture Jesus in a way that the apostle Paul says is a shame: "infamous, indignant, disgraceful, dishonourable, reproachful, shameful, and vile?" I hope not.

Let me be quick to add, however, that this is how Jesus came in human form as the humble carpenter from Nazareth. This is decidedly not how He appears today or how He will appear when He returns to rule the nations of the world as
"The Lion of Judah" (Hos. 5:14), and Conquering King of Kings (Rev. 19:12-16).

Why don't you read this entire paper, and just maybe you will learn a few hundred things about God, His Word, His Son, the Church, and even yourself that you didn't know before.
I have not presented God as some alien monster who will torture most of humanity in a Christian hell of fire for all eternity. No, the Christian theologians have cornered the market on that doctrine. 
Virtually all Christians can quote John 3:16, but how many have ever heard of I John 4:14 in which John goes beyond those who are "perishing" in John 3:16? Nowhere in Scripture does death culminate God's love for His creatures. When Isaiah says, "The righteous perish..." (Isa. 57:1), do they lose their salvation?
For the time is coming when even those who temporarily perish according to John 3:16 will be "saved" according to I John 4:14 "The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." God has not restricted Himself with a timeline to fulfil His purpose to save all humanity. 

No power in Heaven or Earth is capable of thwarting God's plan and purpose to bring the entire human race into the Family of God. Neither the power of Satan and all his cohorts, nor man with his supposed "free will", can hinder or thwart God's desire to accomplish His Own will. God's love, wisdom and power are so awesome that it's frightening, and yet puny men who claim to be representatives of His demean and relegate God to some alien monster who because He is unable to convert everyone takes out His frustration by torturing them in real fire for all eternity. How sick can the carnal mind get?

God will turn sinful humanity to Himself, and His judgments are no small part of that process. God is quite capable of bringing anyone to repentance in a matter of seconds - ANYONE, be they Saul/Paul the murderer of God's people, or Adolph Hitler. Men do not decide on their own, by their own will, to repent and turn to Jesus as their Saviour (John 6:44). Salvation is the work of God in man (Phil. 2:13; Rom. 9:16, 11:26; Eph. 1:11; Zech. 8:13; John 1:29; Isa. 55:11).

IF NOT HELL, FROM WHAT ARE WE SAVED?

I can't believe how many times I am asked this question. How is it even possible to attend Church for a lifetime and not be taught what it is that Jesus saves us from? Most Christians believe that Jesus came to save us from hell. I reckon from such unscriptural nonsense that if Jesus just got rid of hell itself, then He wouldn't have to save us from ANYTHING. Not true. There are many things from which all people need to be saved, but I assure you that "hell" is not one of them.

GOD SAVES US FROM SIN AND DEATH
  • "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of SIN and DEATH." (Rom. 8:2)
     
  • "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call His name JESUS: for he shall save His people from their SINS" (Matt. 1:21)
     
  • "And He shall redeem [save] Israel from all his INIQUITIES [Heb. 'evil/SIN']" (Psalm 130:8)
     
  • "Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem [save] us from all INIQUITY [Gk: 'evil/SIN]" (Titus 2:14)
     
  • "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name: and deliver us [deliver means 'save'], and purge away our SINS, for Thy name's sake" (Psa. 79:9)
     
  • "But God will redeem ['rescue/save] my soul from the power of the GRAVE [Heb: 'Sheol=Hades, the state of the dead']" (Psalm 49:15)
     
  • "Who delivered us from so great a DEATH, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us" (II Cor. 1:10)
     
  • "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from DEATH: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction..." (Hosea 13:14).
There is no HELL in all the scriptures quoted above, only king James will talk about HELL.
There is one more thing that has caused both "sin and death" and the plethora of other character flaws in humanity. It is mentioned many times in Scripture: 
  • "So we see that they [the Children of Israel] could not enter in [the promised land]because of unbelief" (Heb. 3:19)
     
  • "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God" (Heb. 3:12)
     
  • "Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen" (Mark 16:14)
     
  • "Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD God" (II Kings 17:14)
JESUS CHRIST WILL SAVE THE WORLD

The Church teaches that Jesus is only the Potential Saviour of the World, not that He actually will save the world. Many orthodox doctrines contradict God's word.

"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world" (I John 4:14)

Does your pastor testify that Jesus Christ will "be the Saviour of the world" by saving the world? Of course not. The Church teaches that it will never happen. It teaches that God will rather torture most of His creation endlessly in fire. And the reason God can't and/or won't save all humanity is because the Church says God gave to mankind a blessing called "free will/free choice/free moral agency." They won't tell you that this would then become a god-thwarting power. 
Scripture knows nothing of any such god-thwarting power. The Scriptures show (as does Science), that all human choices are caused by something. And God has the ability to direct man's steps so that he will eventually choose good over evil.

"For what purpose did Jesus come in the flesh to this earth?" Is He a failure?
"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost" (Matt. 18:11). 
"The Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them" (Luke 9:56).
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10) 
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isa. 53:6).

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23).


This is not rocket science: ALL have sinned and ALL are lost. Therefore, Jesus came to save ALL of the lost sinners.
Jesus said He must "finish" His Father's works (Greek is 'teleioo,' and it means to, "complete, accomplish, consummate, consecrate, finish, make perfect" - Strong's Greek Dictionary}. 


According to Christendom, will Jesus, complete, accomplish, consummate, consecrate, finish, and make perfect, all the work which God His Father commissioned Him to do? They say, no, not ever. But how then could Jesus "...BE the Saviour of the world" (I John 4:14) by failing to save the majority of mankind, and even worse by torturing most of mankind in eternal fire? Maybe you never thought about these things, but you should.
God desires to save all mankind: "God our Saviour, Who will [or desires to] have all men to be saved" (I Tim. 2:4). The Church degrades this profound declaration of Almighty God into nothing more than an unattainable weak wish.

"ESPECIALLY DOES NOT MEAN "EXCLUSIVELY" OR "ONLY"
Some Theologians and teachers of the word have written me, challenging my paper on the salvation of all men. They state that this verse does not say God actually will save all men. They say it is only the "especially of those who believe" that will be saved. That means Paul should have said: "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God Who is the Saviour of all men, but only of those who believe " This word never carries the meaning of "only." 
Intelligent professionals would never allow such idiotic interpretation with any other book, except the Holy Scriptures.


The Greek word, 'malista' is translated in the New Testament as "specially/especially." And it means, " to the greatest degree, particularly, chiefly, most of all, (e-)specially" (Strong's Greek Dictionary).

Here are a few examples of how this word is used in other Scriptures. It always means something that is "special" in addition to other things: "For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, SPECIALLY ['malista'--'particularly, chiefly] they of the circumcision" (Titus 1:10). If this verse means the "circumcision only," then there is no need for the word "specially" to be used at all. It never means "only."

Paul's letter to Philemon: 
"Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved [speaking of Onesimus] , SPECIALLY to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?" [Philemon 1:15]. How could Onesimus be a brother beloved... much more unto THEE, [Philemon]" if he was a "beloved brother" to Paul ONLY? Onesimus was a beloved brother to Paul, but he was 'especially/most of all' more of a brother to Philemon than he was to Paul.

"Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, ESPECIALLY ['malista' -to the greatest degree] they who labour in the word and doctrine" (I Tim. 5:17). If only they who labour in the word and doctrine are to receive "double honour," then why would it dogmatically state that "the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour" ALSO? There are two groups being addressed here, not just one. There is a difference between saying, "I like dessert, ESPECIALLY ice cream," Or, "I like dessert, but only ice cream."

"The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when you come, bring with you, and the books, but ESPECIALLY ['malista'--particularly] the parchments" (II Tim. 4:13) When Paul said to "especially" bring the parchments, was he somehow saying that he didn't want the cloke & books, but just the parchments only? Nonsense, grow up fellas. unscriptural nonsense!!

And lastly: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, ESPECIALLY ['malista'--to the greatest degree] unto them who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10). I just love it when God provides us with an exact duplicate of what we are defending in I Tim. 4:10. Notice the duplication of the phrase "all men" in both I Tim. 4:10 and Gal. 6:10. Is there any possible way to read Gal. 6:10 with the understanding that we are NOT to "do good unto all men," because it then says "especially unto them who are of the household of faith?" 

Surely no one is so carnal, so prejudiced, so stubborn as to suggest by this Scripture we are NOT to "to do good unto all men," just because it also says "especially... the household of faith." Then why oh why do learned teachers and theologians say that the "all men" before the word "especially" in I Tim. 4:10 are excluded from salvation? That is bogusity!!! NONSENSE!

It matters not that God does not save all in this era. Ultimately, in His time, He will save all. Man does not set time limits upon God's purpose.
God is willing that all men be saved, and nowhere does He contradict Himself by willing that some will NOT be saved. "The Lord... is NOT WILLING that ANY should perish [eternally, as even "the righteous perish" temporarily, Isaiah 57:1], but that all should come to repentance" (II Peter 3:9. See also Phil. 2:10). It is God's goodness which brings us to repentance (Rom. 2:4).

Jesus said: "And I, if I be lifted up [on the cross] from the earth, will draw ALL MEN UNTO ME" (John 12:32). Are there any to whom Christ's sacrifice does not apply? "And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sin of the whole world" (I John 2:2). But the Church teaches that Jesus is only the "potential" Saviour of the world since there are those whose sins will supposedly never be taken away.

Don't we read in
Heb. 10:26, "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,"? Yes, that's true, but that does not doom that person to an eternal punishment and torture in some hell. Notice there is a comma (,) at the end of that verse. Let's read the rest of it:

"But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries" (Heb. 10:27). 

Yes, there are sins that will not be forgiven in this lifetime, but will rather be judged in the day of God's Judgment upon the whole wicked world. That will not be a happy time for those who will have their sins judged in that manner, but neither will it be a pit of eternal torture in fire for no purpose.
Notice: 

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent. Because He hath appointed a day [no, not in this Church age, but in the 'appointed day'], in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man [Jesus] Whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead" Acts 17:30-31).

Ah yes - God will purify all men, all humanity, "...like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap" (Mal.3:2). The fires of judgment are spiritual fires that purify and refine the hearts and spirits of mankind. These fires do not burn and torture men's physical flesh for all eternity which would accomplish nothing but to make an evil alien monster out of God. God may be stern, but He is no monster.

"For OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE" (Heb. 12:29). 

God is "the furnace of fire," "the unquenchable fire," "the eonian/age-abiding fire," "the flaming fire," "the Gehenna [hell?] fire," "the baptizing fire," "the lamps of fire," and"the lake of fire," and as fire purifies and refines, so likewise, God "Who makes His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire" (Psalm 104:4). 

And why does God make His ministers flames of fire? Because we too are to Judge the world, and judging involves refining and purifying: 

"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world, and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?" (I Cor. 6:2)

SINNERS AND SAINTS WILL BOTH BE "IMMERSED" IN FIRE

God's chosen Few are instructed to be a sacrifice - a living sacrifice:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service" (Rom. 12:1)

Does the Bible teach that "fire" is for the wicked and unrepentant sinners only?
Get ready for another Scriptural shock. God puts all His Believers through fire and salt:


"For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt" (Mark 9:49).

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire" (Matt. 3:11)

"Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire" (Mark 3:12)

Did u get all those scriptures? Don’t twist the meaning of scriptures for doctrine sake, it won’t profit anything.
An "unquenchable" fire is not an eternal or everlasting fire, but rather a fire that is not quenched. That is, it will be allowed to burn or purify until it's purpose is accomplished. (See, Jer. 17:27; Ezek. 20:47; Jude 1:7). Although these fires are called "eternal" or "non-quenched" fires, they are no longer burning today. They burned out on their own.
James said we should count it all joy when we are severely tried (James 1:2-3), and Peter said: 

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (I Peter 1:7)

Yes, Jesus paid the penalty for sin in full, yet it remains to take away the sin out of the sinners. Yes, Jesus is the Saviour of the world, but they don't know it yet. 
"The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away [Greek aorist--indefinite tense, 'is tak-ING away'] the sin of the world" (John 1:29)
Yes, Jesus presently "...is taking away the sin of the world." One sinner at a time (the "few) in this Church age. It is a process that will continue "...till He [Jesus] has put all enemies [all sinners] under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed [Gk: 'abolished'] is death" (I Cor. 15:25-26). And then and only then will "God be ALL in All" (Vs. 28)

The Day of His judgments upon all the entire wicked world is coming (Isa. 26:9), when all humanity will be judged; will repent; will bow; will be made righteous; and all will be saved. This church age is not "the" only day of salvation, but rather "a" day of salvation: 

"Who then CAN be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE" (Matt. 19:25-26).

But isn't every person responsible to seek God on his own? Nonsense:
I could go on like this for a hundred pages, showing you that God is in perfect control of His entire Creation, and that good will ultimately triumph over all evil, and God will correct every wrong and convert every soul until He becomes "ALL in All" (I Cor. 15:28).

THE NARROW AND BROAD GATE

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat (1. that reason, 2.at that time or place): Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matt 7:13-14)

The King James Version of Matt. 7:13-14 is not completely accurate according to the New Testament Greek Manuscripts. The phrase "many there be which go in thereat" should read: "many are those entering through it."
And the phrase "and few there be that find it," should read: "and few are finding it."
So what's the difference, you ask? The difference is that the words in the King James translated "go in thereat" and "that find it" are in the Greek aorist (indefinite--past, present, and future) tense, and therefore need to be translated "entering through it," and "are finding it." This Greek tense of the verb shows that this is the present condition of the majority of humanity, not humanity's ultimate eternal destiny.

Yes NOW, in this present Church age, only the "FEW chosen" are going God's way that leads to "life." But it is the "MANY called" that are presently following the path that leads to destruction. It is those who are "perished, lost, and destroyed," that Jesus came to save.

The phrase, "broad is the way that leads to destruction," is falsely interpreted by the Church to mean, "broad is the way that leads to eternity in hell." Well It says no such thing and it means no such thing.

Honestly, does anyone see the words "eternal destruction," or "eternal hell," or "lost for ever," or "never-ending torture," or "eternal life in fire" in Jesus' statement? I think not.

There is an ocean of difference between "temporary destruction" for a grand purpose, and "eternal torture" in some pagan hell for absolutely no redeeming purpose never seems to enter the minds of Christian theologians.
The church and Christian teachers in general, use a couple of dozen Bible verses to justify their teaching of an eternal hell of torture and punishment on most of humanity. Here is just one such example that says no such thing as they contend.
Matt. 7:13 is a favourite verse used to justify their teaching of hell.

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Matt. 7:13)

It is the words "broad way" and "destruction" that supposedly support their eternity for most of humanity in an eternal hell. Let's examine it...
In I Corinthians 5:5 Paul gives instruction regarding a man in the congregation who was having sexual relations with his father's wife. Paul told them...

"To deliver such one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh..."

Surely these words must mean that this man will be thrown into hell to be destroyed and tormented by Satan. Oh really? Surely it means no such thing. Seldom are people told the whole story. It matters not what a verse, or a phrase, or a word may appear to mean to the unlearned. We must be sure that what we teach corresponds with and harmonizes with the rest of God's Word. I gave you only the first half of this verse. Next let's read the second part of this same verse:

"... that the spirit may be SAVED in the day of the Lord Jesus(I Cor. 5:5)

Wow! Do your eyes see what my eyes see? Is the ultimate destiny and result of this man's sin, an eternity of punishment and destruction by Satan in some Christian hell? If that were true, then how, pray tell, could his "spirit BE SAVED in the day of the Lord?" Being "destroyed" does by no means equate with being eternally lost. That is unscriptural nonsense of the Church. Here and in other places as well, Satan is actually used by God in His plan to save humanity.

I am sure every Christian has read Matt. 4:1:
"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of THE DEVIL"

God used Satan in one of the greatest trials in His Son's entire life. The difference between Jesus being tempted of the Devil and we being tempted of the Devil, is that Jesus couldn't be deceived, where as every one of us mortals have been deceived at some time by Satan the Devil:

"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives THE WHOLE world..." (Rev. 12:9)

Yes, believe it or not, God uses Satan in His work of salvation for the whole human race. Have we forgotten how God used Satan to bring about Job's repentance and restoration to God? The whole world has been deceived by Satan, but the whole world will be saved by God, in God's time and in God's way.

That God often uses evil to bring about good is attested to over and over again in the Scriptures. No, not the Scriptures you hear read in Church, but the Scriptures that are in your Bible, For further proof of this see: Isaiah 45:7; Lam. 3:38; II Sam. 12:11; Rom.9:19-25; Isaiah 54:16; Jer. 4;6; Jer. 6:19; I Kings 22:22; Psalm 105:25; Jer. 18:11; Rom. 11:32; Josh. 23:15-- Amos 3:6; Heb. 12:5; Job 26:14; Rev. 12:9; and many more.

Is it possible for a righteous man to perish, be lost, or destroyedand yet be saved at a later date? Of courseWe are told,

"The righteous perish, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come" (Isa. 57:1)

Surely the "righteous" will not be eternally "perished."
The Greek word "appolumi" has three basic meanings: "lose, perish, or destroy." Context can tell which of these three is most appropriate; however, context seldom defines the meaning or definition of a word. Here are a few examples:
LOSE/LOST from "appolumi" - The salt in Matt. 5:13 "lost" its flavor. The "lost" sheep in the wilderness that wondered from the 99 sheep was "found" (Luke 15:6). The prodigal Son of Luke 16:24"...was dead, and is alive again; he was lost and is found." There is nothing "eternal" in the use of this word.

PERISH from "appolumi" - The Apostles were afraid they would "perish" in the sea (Matt. 8:25). Jesus taught in Luke 5:37 that new wine would cause old wine skins to "perish." In Luke 13:33, Jesus spoke of Himself when He said that a prophet cannot "perish" outside of Jerusalem. Jesus was that Prophet, that did "perish" - was crucified and killed IN Jerusalem.

DESTROY/DESTRUCTION from "appolumi- In Matt. 2:13 Joseph is warned to take Jesus to Egypt, because Herod wanted to "destroy" Him. The Pharisees persuaded the Jews to save Barabbas and "destroy" Jesus (Matt. 27:20). And they later did "destroy"--crucify, kill, Jesus. In Luke 9:56, Jesus said:

"For the Son of man is not come to destroy [Gk: appolumi--destroy, lose, perish] men's lives, but to save them."

II Thes. 1:9 is a favourite verse used by teachers and a theologian to try and prove that God’s “destruction” on the wicked is eternal. First from the King James:
"Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power."

Sort of sounds like this could mean some kind of punishment in some kind of a hell for all eternity. But not so. Not all translators are honest enough to translate the Greek word "aionion" properly for the simple reason that it contradicts their immortal soul, free will, eternal hell doctrines. Here's a few translations that render this verse correctly:

"Who shall pay a just penalty--aionion--destruction from the Face of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength" (II Thess. 1:9, The Emphatic Diaglott), Notice that they leave 'aionion' untranslated. If it meant "everlasting," they would have translated it thus).

"Who indeed[a penalty] shall pay - Age-abiding destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might" (Rotherham's Emphasized Bible).

"Who shall suffer justice - destruction age-during -- from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength" (Young's Literal Translation)

"Who shall incur the justice of eonian extermination from the face of the Lord..." (Concordant Literal New Testament).

Not only is everlasting wrongly translated in II Thess. 1:9, but it is wrongly translated wherever it is found in many modern English Bibles. Furthermore, all such words and phrases as "for ever," "for ever and ever," "for evermore," "everlasting," "eternal," and "eternity" are without an equivalent anywhere in the entirety of the Bible. If "forever" means eternity, what is "forever AND ever?"

If fact (get ready for this one...), no etymologist [study of a word origin] or historian has ever found a single word which stands for "endless time," anywhere on earth, before the second century AD, and by then all the Scriptures were written and completed!

The Scriptures use phrases like "no end," when desiring to show endless time.
To show that God will give us "endless or eternal" life, the Scriptures use words like "incorruption," and "immortality"-death-less-ness, incapable of ever dying. Anyone given incorruption will never die, and anyone given immortality will never die. Only in resurrection are we given a life that will never end:

"But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection" (Luke 20:35-36).

It is in resurrection that we are given "immortality-death-less-ness," not eternal life. Eonian/age-abiding life has nothing to do with immortality. One has to do with endless time, while the other has to do with never dying.
God's Judgments are related to ages, not eternities. His Judgments have a beginning and an ending. The end result of "aionion/eonian/age-abiding" Judgment is righteousnessand salvation (Isaiah 26:9, I Tim. 2:4, etc.)

SATAN--DECEIVER OF THE WHOLE WORLD

Now I am fully aware of the fact that it is, "Satan which deceives the whole worldRev. 12:9). How is this possible? How can Satan get into God's Church in order to deceive the masses? Is no one guarding the Spiritual door of the Church? I'm afraid it is too late to guard the door when we learn from what location Satan administers his worldwide deception. And from what location is that?
How well I remember when first I read in the Scriptures with my own eyes, exactly where it is that God identifies the location of Satan's "permanent church-age, in-house habitation." Satan's "stately seat"--a throne, his "dwelling place." But where is it? The answer is right there in your Bible, and in red letters if you have a red letter edition, signifying that these are the very words of our Lord Himself. And where does Jesus tell us that Satan dwells and has his throne and seat of authority during this Church age? Here is the answer from the Scriptures:

"And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; 'These things says He[Jesus] which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where you dwell, even where Satan's seat is [Gk: 'thronos'--stately seat, THRONE']: and you should hold fast My Name, and have not denied My faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells [Gk; 'to reside, that is, dwell, inhabitant, to house permanently'(Rev. 2:12-13).

Wow! The headquarters, dwelling place and throne of Satan the Devil is located IN THE CHURCH OF GOD. The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation which is the "revelation and testimony of Jesus Christ" Himself, tells us this. Revelation is a short history and prophecy of the Church portraying her strengths and many shortcomings from the time of its writing until the return of Jesus Christ.
The Church is always represented in Scripture as a woman. The carnal and disobedient Church (the many called) is represented by Agar [Hagar] the woman in bondage from Sinai and her children which answers to earthly Jerusalem in PalestineThe spiritual and obedient Church (the chosen few) is represented by Jerusalem which is above and free, which is the mother of us all [all the chosen few believers in this Church age] (Gal. 4:21-31).

Not everyone who professes Jesus will be in the Kingdom of God at Christ's return, although all will ultimately be saved and reside in the Family of God. Remember how Jesus repeatedly stated that "MANY are called, but FEW are chosen," that is now, in this Church age. Right now there are three categories of people with respect to salvation:
[1] The few chosen
[2] The many calledand
[3] The many that are not called or chosen at this time in history. 
Which category of professing Christians will find themselves outside of the Kingdom at Christ's return: the few or the many?

Jesus pronounced one "woe" after another on the Jewish rulers (Matt. 23), but not upon them all. There were a few who were loyal to God and to Jesus. Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews, yet he said to Jesus:

"Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God..." (John 3:1-2, 19:39).

Certainly there are Christians (the "few chosen" of the "many called") who abhor the unscriptural teaching that God will ultimately fail at saving the world, but will instead torture most of them for all eternity. Most Christians believe this evil doctrine through ignorance, but the rulers of Christendom (those who have studied the Scriptures in the ancient Hebrew and Greek manuscripts) know for a fact that there is no equivalent to this teaching in the early manuscripts.

Words like: "hell," "hell fire," "eternal," "everlasting punishment," etc., have no equivalent in any Hebrew or Greek manuscripts of the Holy Scriptures. When the concept of endless time is meant in Scripture, it uses phrases like "...shall have no end" or "be no end" (Psalm 102:27; Isaiah 9:7; Luke 1:33).
When non-ending life is meant in reference to our spiritual resurrected bodies, the Scriptures use words like: "incorruption - imperishable," "glorious," "spiritual," and "immortality" (I Cor. 15:42-44, 54). The word "immortality" (Greek, 'athanasia') means "deathlessness--immortality." It does not mean "eternal" or "everlasting." Immortality will never end and Immortals will never die. But the word itself does not mean "everlasting," or "eternal."

So are there "many" professing Christians that will be told to depart from Jesus, because He never knew them? It's in your Bible just as it is in mine. There is no other large group of many who can fulfil this prophecy except for the members of Christendom. So what is one of these "works of iniquity" for which the "many" are guilty? Well the very worst damnable heresy of Christendom teaches that God will torture mercilessly most of the human race in a hellhole of terrorism with real fire for all eternity!

But there is a purpose for God allowing people to believe such utter unscriptural filth. People must come to the realization that they are not nearly as loving, good, and holy as they may have assumed. Hence the admonition to: "...let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall" (I Cor. 10:3-12)

This prophecy of Jesus in Matt. 7:21-23 is absolutely staggering! At Jesus' return the many believers in Jesus' name will not enter into God's Kingdom. They will have to go into God's Judgments. We are warned and admonished of this fact in numerous places. The prophetic Church is likened to the nation of Israel in the wilderness. Listen to what Paul teaches regarding this:

"And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with MANY of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lustedNeither be ye idolaters... Neither let us commit fornication...

Neither let us tempt Christ... Neither murmur ye... Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall(I Cor. 10:3-12).

BILL WIESE DESCRIBES THE CHRISTIAN HELL (23 minutes in HELL)

Bill says Hell is a place of, no water, no life; virtually no air; no sleep, total isolation from other people; total darkness; billions of helpless people screaming insanely for mercy; spiders as large as Volkswagens; snakes as big as fright trans; a stench 1000 times worse than any foul odour on earth; 13 foot hideous demons which break every bone in one's body; demons which tear off people's arms and legs; demons that smash one's head flat; demons that rip the flesh right off of one's bodies over and over for all eternity; and all this insane torture takes place at the centre of the earth in 12,000 degree fire pits [Is Humanity And Demons Not Being Tormented In Hell? So How Could The Demons Be Breaking Human Bones In Hell? Is The Christian Hell Future Or Now? These are unscriptural nonsense, ]
As if to add insult to injury, Mr. Wiese assures us that, "I was also aware that there were MANY levels, FAR, FAR WORSE." How pray tell could anything be, "many levels, far, far worse" than Bill describes in his book? His description is already beyond total insanity, and yet he says there are many levels far, far worse than such insanities. In fact he says many things in hell are "a THOUSAND TIMES worse" than anything on earth. (23 Minutes in Hell, p. 26--CAPS are mine).
Which fictitious writers of horror novels have ever conceived such a deranged scenario of mind-boggling swill? There is not the slightest hint in all Scripture that there is such a geographical location where God assigns and subjects most of humanity to such an eternal destiny of insanity. Bill says: "I believe everyone there is just on the verge of insanity. However, I believe you never quite go insane, for that would provide a form of escape. And there is no escape, even mentally" (23 Minutes in Hell, p. 26)

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST: 23 Minutes in Hell.

The book 23 Minutes in Hell is a story by Bill Wiese (a California real estate agent) who on Monday November 23, 1998, at 3:00 a.m. says he was taken out of his body by God and found himself "travelling, journeying, and falling" (his words not mine) 3700 miles to the near-center of the earth into a rock walled prison cell containing 13 foot reptilian like demons with human forms. Bill says that the demons of hell fulfil their "desires, pleasure, and amusement" (his words not mine) by torturing billions of people for all eternity. Same old nonsense from our Theologians and Preachers
One such demon ripped the flesh right off of Bill's body. Bill said his flesh grew back in 30 seconds, and could be ripped off again and again for all eternity. Bill witnessed pits of fire with humans writhing with pain and misery, screaming for mercy only to be pushed back into the fire by demons. He saw spiders as big as Volkswagens, and snakes as large as locomotives. And to emphasize the fear he experienced in hell, Bill presents us with a shark attack he says he was personally involved in. - Oh my God, I will plead with anyone reading this paper to buy the book “23 minutes in HELL-by Bill Wiese”

BIBLICAL FIGURES OF SPEECH

Here are some of the fully substantiated figures of language used in Scripture. Many of these examples can be found in an appendix in the back of The Concordant Literal New Testament published by Concord Publishing Concern.
We will begin with FIGURES OF LIKENESS which include:
  • similes (when something is like, or as something else, it is a simile rather than a metaphor)
  • Metaphors (where one thing is said to actually be something else) as in, "all life is grass" I Pet. 1:24. A metaphor cannot be literal. When John says, "...the lake of fire, This IS the second death" (Rev. 20:14), and "...the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which IS the second death" (Rev. 21:8), he is speaking in a metaphor.
  • implications (a figure where the statement of likeness is omitted)
  • parables (there are many, the shortest one being, "Physician, heal Thyself" Luke 4:23)
  • allegories (as in the two women standing for two covenants, Gal. 4:22-28)
  • visions (as in a sheet let down from heaven, Acts 10:11-16)
  • signs (as in the sign of Jonah the prophet, Matt. 12:39)
  • types (as in Adam corresponding with Christ, Rom. 5:12-21)
  • shadows (as in the law being a shadow of good things to come, Heb. 10:1)
  • examples (as in the tabernacle vessels being examples of what is in heaven , Heb. 9:23)
  • images (as Christ is the image of God, Col. 1:15)
  • impersonations or personifications (where things are spoken of as persons)
  • Condescension’s (as where God takes on human attributes-hands, arm, eyes, hair, etc.)
  • diminutives (as in "little women, heaped with sins" II Tim. 3:6)
There are FIGURES OF ASSOCIATION which include:
  • association or metonymy's
  • appellations (as when a quality or office is used instead of a proper name, as in "Son of Mankind" instead of saying Jesus Christ)
  • compound associations (as "the word of the cross" I Cor. 1:18, which has to do with Christ's shameful and agonizing death)
  • near associations (as in a phrase that is partly literal, "Then went out to Him Jerusalem [that is the people of Jerusalem]", Matt. 3:5)
  • retentions (this one is too complicated to explain, but I'll give you an example, "the tablets of the heart" II Cor. 3:3)
  • Circumlocutions or periphrasis a descriptive phrase in place of a name in order to emphasize the association. Examples, "the product of the grapevine [though not named is, wine]" Matt. 26:29, "the city of David [though not named is, Bethlehem]" Luke 2:11,
  • Enigmas, and symbols (where a known object or something else is used to typify something else, or an intangible quality such as love, power, etc.)
Here are many of the words from the book of Revelation used as SYMBOLS:

And even heaven and earth are used as symbols in this great book of symbols.
There are also FIGURES OF OMISSION which include:
  • omitted nouns (as in "the wicked [people is understood]," "the blind [people]," "the rich [people]," "the poor [people]," "the twelve [apostles is omitted but understood])
  • omitted verbs (as in incongruous omissions like, "Milk I give you to drink not solid food" The omission of "to eat" is understood, as one does not "drink solid food" I Cor. 3:2)
  • Unfinished sentences (the King James usually finishes sentences that are unfinished in the Greek, such as, "As I swear in My indignation, If they shall be entering into My rest!" Heb. 3:11)
  • Omission or non-sequence (as in "These which you are beholding___there will be coming days..." Luke 21:6)
I did not take the time to present this basic listing of "figures of speech" from the Scriptures, just to fill more pages. It is most important to understand that the study of the Scriptures is not the same as studying a high school or college text book. It is far different. School text books, as a rule, would not contain even one percent of the figures of speech that I have presented here.
If we do not have even an elementary understanding of these many and varied figures of speech, we will hardly be in a position to teach God's Word to others, as the Bible is literally filled with hundreds of examples of figurative language.

Yet Christians and theologians by the millions tell us that the Bible is literal, and must be taken literally. As if something that is not literal, is not true. The many parables of Jesus were not "literally" true, yet their teaching was absolutely true. A metaphor is true, but it is not "literally" true. There are many hundreds and of statements in the Scriptures that are true, but they are not "literally" true.

Did Jesus "literally" go "fishing for men" with rod, reel and hocks (Matt. 4:19)?
Are Christians "literally" "salt" Matt. 5:13? Or are they not just "like" salt in certain ways? It's a metaphor, not literal.

Did Jesus mean for Christians to "literally" "pluck out your eyes, cut off your hands, and cut off your feet" if they offend or cause to sin (Mark 9:43-47)? How many Christians do you know who have no eyes, no hands, and no feet because they obeyed this command "literally?"
Did Jesus mean that men are "literally" "dogs and pigs" (Matt. 7:6)?
Do false prophets "literally" wear "sheep's clothing" (Matt. 7:15)?
Did Jesus mean that Christians who live righteously are "literally" "trees that bring forth good fruit" (Matt. 7:18)?

When Jesus said: "...let the dead bury their dead," did He mean that dead people can "literally" bury other dead people?
Did Jesus mean that Christians are "literally" food produce as we would find in the produce department of a supermarket, that will one day be "harvested by laborers" like grain in a field (Matt. 9:37-38)?
Was Israel "literally" "lost sheep" (Matt. 10:6)?
Was Jesus speaking "literally" of animals when He said: 

"I send you forth as SHEEP in the midst of WOLVES: be ye therefore wise as SNAKES, and harmless as DOVES" (Matt. 10:16)?

Did Jesus "literally" mean that the Pharisees were the offspring of SNAKES when He called them: "O generation of vipers..." (Matt. 12:34)?

Was Jesus "literally" dead in His tomb for "three days and three nights" as He used as a sign for the Pharisees? How does one get "three days AND three nights to fit between Good Friday sunset and Easter Sunday morning? That's "literally" only one day and two nights. The answer is in understanding that the sign of Jonah is not literal, but is rather a parable also. What is "the heart of the earth?" It does not stand for His tomb or grave.

Are Gentiles "literally" sub-human "dogs?" Did Jesus "literally" call the woman of Canaan a"DOG" (Matt. 15:26)? No, of course not. Jesus was merely expressing to this woman that the Jews looked upon the Gentiles as "dogs." And so Jesus did feed her with more than "crumbs" and literally did heal her daughter.
Did Jesus warn against using the "leaven" of the Pharisees in their baking (Matt.16:6)? No, of course not, their "leaven" was their false "doctrine" or teachings (Matt. 16:12).

Did Jesus tell Peter that the Kingdom of Heaven is "literally" locked up and requires "literal""keys" to unlock (Matt. 16:19)?
Did Jesus expect His disciples to go through life with a "literal" "cross" on their backs, or to "literally" all be crucified as He was (Matt. 16:24)?
Did Jesus "literally" speak with dead Moses and Elijah in the company of His disciples on the mount (Matt.17:3)? No, of course not, it never "literally" happened, it was a "a VISION" (Matt. 17:9). This vision took place in the minds of the Apostles while they, not Moses and Elijah, were on the mountain.
Did Jesus really say that the Pharisees would "literally" "...strain out a gnat, and swallow a CAMEL" (Matt. 23:24)? Who could literally swallow a camel?

When Jesus took the unleavened bread at the last supper and said: "Take, eat; this is My body," did He mean for His disciples to eat "literal" human flesh rather than bread (Matt. 26:26)? And was the wine "literally" Jesus' "blood" (Matt. 26:28)? Furthermore, God forbids the drinking of blood in the Bible.
Was Jesus "literally" a "Shepherd" and His followers "literally" "sheep" (Matt. 26:31)? Jesus was literally a "carpenter," not a "shepherd."

Jesus: "...let this cup pass from Me..." (Matt. 26:39). Is this a literal cup?
Well there are a couple of dozen verses which are figurative language and not literal at all. The Bible is filled with hundreds and hundreds of just such figures of speech which are not to be taken literally. They represent spiritual truths, but they are not to be taken literally as stated.
And so there are dozens of ways that teachers and theologians misrepresent the Scriptures in order to perpetuate their unscriptural pagan doctrines. With regards to "hell," I have heard Christian teachers state dozens of times that: "Jesus spoke twice as much about hell as He did about heaven." That is a bald faced lie.
The truth is that Jesus never once spoke of anything related to the Christian usage of the English word "hell." And even if we accept the few times that the word "hell" is attributed to Him, it is only on four occasions that the word "hell" is attributed to Jesus:

"Capernaum... brought down to hell [Greek: hades/unseen]" (Matt. 
11:23)

"Capernaum... thrust down to hell 
[Greek: hades/unseen]" (Luke 10:15)

"hell [Greek: hades/unseen] shall not prevail against...church" (Matt. 16:18)

"And in hell [Greek: hades/unseen] he lifted up his eyes" (Luke 16:23)

"I [Jesus]... have the keys to hell [Greek: hades/unseen]" (Rev. 1:18)

Even if we accept these four occasions where "hell" is attributed to Jesus, that means that if He spoke twice as much about hell as heaven, then Jesus would have mentioned "heaven" only two or three times. Truth is, Jesus spoke of heaven one hundred and thirteen times. Therefore if He spoke twice as much about hell, then Jesus would have had to discuss hell two hundred and twenty-six times, whereas we find only five mentions on four occasions. Yet how many Christians have ever questioned such false statements of theologians? Virtually none, that's how many, but tens of thousands of Christians get irate at me when I show them the truth.
Continuing with Jonah's experience:

"Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about; the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast You brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Your holy temple" (Jonah 2:4-7).

"And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land(Jonah 2:10).

All's well that ends well. Moral: Don't run away from God.
Now let's be completely honest. Bill says that Jonah literally experienced the same "Hell" that he experienced (after all, how many Christian "hells" are there?) Okay, here are some of Bill's fraudulent contradictions:

1. Jonah was swallowed by "a great fish" (the 'fish' had LIFE). So much for Bill's false assertion that there is "NO LIFE" in Hell (Jonah 1:15). This great fish as well as Jonah himself were very much alive. In Bill's fancied visit to hell, he was alive; billions of people were alive; and the demons were all alive, yet he states; "...in hell there is no life of any kindALL IS DEAD" (23 Minutes, p. 12).
And on page 37 of his book, Bill says, "Your soul cannot die..."
I will love my readers to read my paper on SOUL- BODY AND SPIRIT

2. Jonah and this great fish were "in the sea" (Jonah 1:27)
"For You had cast me into the deepin the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all Your billows and thy waves passed over me"(Jonah 2:3). 
So Jonah was in the seain the deepin the midst of the seascompassed with floodsand billows. That's a lot of water for a place Bill says has no water!

3. "...the waters encompassed me" (Jonah 2:5)-MORE water.

4. "...the weeds were wrapped about my head" (Jonah 2:7). But Bill tells us that there is not even a blade of grass in Hell, nothing green. Yet Jonah is wrapped in weedsAren't most weeds, green?

5. One can go "...down to the bottom of the mountains" in a sea, for many island mountains terminate at the bottom of the sea. But one cannot go down to the bottom of the mountains in the center of the earth. Are there mountains in the center of the earth? No. The Concordant Literal Old Testament translates this phrase as: "I go down to the fashioning points of the mountains..."

6. Bill apparently had no thoughts of God when he went to Hell, whereas Jonah said, "...my prayer came in unto Thee, into Your holy temple." And because Jonah prayed, God heard him and answered him by releasing him from the horrors of this great fish(that was the will of the father though, Jonas did not prayed amiss)
And so the things that Bill tells us are not found in his hell. But we have seen from the Scriptures, those things described during Jonah's experience with this great fish in the sea. (Obviously, Jonah was not in Bill's hell, the Christian hell, The Jew's hell, the Muslim's hell, or any of the other pagan "hells" of the world).
So Bill tells us that Jonah was in the same hell that he was taken to, yet we found that the things described in Jonah's experience are things that Bill tells us are NOT found in hell. Next let's examine the things that Bill says ARE found in hell, and see how many of them are also found in Jonah's experience:

Did Jonah journey to the center of the earth? No.
Did Jonah experience fire during his time in the great fish? No.
Did Jonah see hideous 13 foot demons while in the fish? No.
Did any creature crush his head, break all his bones, or rip his flesh off? No.
Did Jonah see spiders as big as Volkswagens? No.
Did Jonah see snakes as large as locomotives? No.
Did Jonah see billions and billions of other people being tortured in this fish? No.

Now then, did God tell Jonah to warn Nineveh that they would spend eternity in the belly of this great fish if they did not repent? No. Why not? Bill says Jonah experienced the same hell that he did, and that Jesus told Bill that the whole purpose of his experience in hell was to WARN people to flee from the wrath to come. Was that not the purpose of Bill and his wife going to such exotic places as New Zealand and Paris--to warn them of the wrath that awaits them in hell? And let's not forget the side benefit of selling books. 


Maybe Jonah just wasn't the smart business entrepreneur that Bill and his wife are? What do you think?
I'll tell you what I think: I think that Bill is a deceitful and fraudulent opportunist. Of course that's just my opinion, based on dozens of Bill's contradictions, and hundreds of Scriptural references. 

Most Christians define hell as a place where Satan, demons, and unrepentant sinners are forced to live in shameful conditions of horror and pain. But Bill contends that God has also assigned animalsbeasts, and creatures to hell: both Christians and Bill are wrong

"Immediately I realized that I was not alone in this cell. I saw two enormous beasts, unlike anything I had ever seen before" (23 Minutes, p. 2).

So the first category we see in hell before any mentioned of other people, is the "beasts."
American Heritage Collegiate Dictionary: "beastn. 1. An animal other than a human, especially a large four-footed mammal."
"These creatures were approximately ten to thirteen feet tall."
American Heritage Collegiate Dictionary: "creaturen. 1. Something created. A living being, especially an animal."
Then Bill expects us to believe this nonsense:
"The creatures weren't animals, but they weren't human, either. Each giant beast resembled a reptile in appearance, but took on human form...I could hear the creatures speaking...I could  understand their words...blasphemous language..." (23 Minutes, p. 2, 3, and 4). "I found myself in the cell, and these 4 creatures were in the cell with me.  I didn't know they were demons at the time..." (From 23 Minutes Script, p. 5).

Bill says he saw thousands of hideous creatures
Anyone who has even superficially read the Bible but once, knows that God does not assign beasts and animals to be tortured for all eternity in the fires of some pagan hell. Where is there a Scripture which supports such utter fantastic nonsense? Why would God torture animals? Are animals capable of moral sin? Must all animals confess Jesus Christ as their Saviour or be subject to an eternity of torture in hell? And if not all animals, why just some? What specific sins did all those bear-sized, gorilla-sized creatures, rats, worms, spiders, and snakes commit that landed them in this hellhole of eternal torture?

Why doesn't Bill explain some of these absurdities? Why doesn't he quote the Scriptures that back such hideous nonsense? Most people are appalled at the sadistic treatment of women and children by Muslim extremist and terrorists, but have no trouble believing that Jesus Christ (The Scriptural SAVIOUR of the World) and God His Father are going to TORTURE most of the world by methods so evil and insane that would make even these terrorists cringe!

Bill says that our souls cannot die.
"Your soul cannot die, and you are lost and in torment forever" (23 Minutes, p. 37). Is it Scripturally true (or Scientific for that matter) that "souls" cannot die?
First, what is a "soul?" The Bible is very clear on this, albeit, Christian doctrine has not a clue as to what the human soul is. It is taught that the soul is a third component that God used in creating Adam-body, spirit, and soul. Not true. The soul is not a created component of a human. The soul is the sentient person, the thinking, feeling, and conscious man.

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Gen. 2:7).

Here then is a literal translation of Gen. 2:7:
"And forming is Yahweh Elohim [GOD] the human of soil from the ground, and He is blowing into his nostrils the breath of the living, and becoming is the human a living soul."

And so clearly, man was not given a third component at creation called a soul, but rather when God blew the breath of life (called a wind or spirit from God) into the man, then the man himself became a living soul. The word in Hebrew for wind, and breath, and spirit is ruach. And it is this spirit breath of life that returns to God at death, not the soul. And the ruach/breath/spirit has no consciousness of its own, hence when a person dies, "his thoughts perish" (Psalm 146:4).

The spirit, breath of life-ruachis what gives "life" to the body. There is soul only when the spirit gives life to the body. The spirit has no soul or sensation or consciousness of itself, but only when it gives life to the body. When God takes back His spirit from our bodies, they die and there is no more consciousness until God resurrects those dead people. Dead bodies have no consciousness, and separated spirits have no consciousness. Only living bodies made alive by God's spirit, have consciousness.
And so contradictory to Bill's tall tales and Christian theology, the Bible informs us that souls can and do die: "The soul [Heb. 'nephesh'] that sins it [the soul, that particular person] shall DIE" (Ezek. 18:4 & 20)

WHO ARE "THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS" OF MATT. 25:41?

I would love to explain just what heaven is, but there isn't time in this paper. For now, just be aware what heaven is not. Heaven is not a geographical location somewhere on a large planet in outer space with pleasures galore and big rock candy mountains.
And likewise, Satan has angels on the earth: 

"...he was cast out into the earth, and his angels [Gk; 'angelos'] were cast out with him" (Rev. 12:7-9)

Although there are many more contradictions from Bill's lectures and books, I will end with this Contradiction. I will now show you just who the "angels of the Devil" really are. And if you are an average middle-of-the-road, orthodox, Christian, then this revelation should knock your socks off and cause your head to spin! This has got to be one of the most shocking pieces of Biblical revelation that you will ever hear. Here then is Bill's demonic contradiction:

"God has made mankind the highest form of creation, and these demons are the lowest form of creation... in Hell, your life is run by demons.  These creatures have a zero IQ, absolute ignorant creatures" (23 Minutes in Hell, Internet Script, p. 8). Imagine that: Ugly, twisted, reptilian type angels and demons, deceive the entire world, but having "A ZERO IQ." They apparently have a good time in hell;
  1. "Two more creatures came into the cell...I was being sized up and that my torment would be their amusement" (23 Minutes in Hell, p. 5)
     
  2. "The creatures [demons] seemed to derive pleasure in the pain and terror they inflicted upon me" (23 Minutes in Hell, p. 6)
     
  3. "Asking for mercy from such evil [demons] only seemed to heighten their desire to torment me more" (23 Minutes in Hell, p. 7)
On the one hand, Bill says these demons are filled with nothing but hatred, while on the other hand he tells us that these same demons have amusement in hell; derive pleasure in hell; and heighten their desires in hell.

Bill tells us that, "The creatures weren't animals, but they weren't human, either"
(23 Minutes in Hell, p. 3). But these demons could speak to each other, "I could hear the creatures speaking to each other...somehow I could understand their words. They were awful words--terrible, blasphemous language that spewed from their mouths..." (p. 4). Imagine that, they weren't human, they have a zero IQ, and yet they are able to speak in a language? First Bill tells us that these creatures "weren't animals," but then goes on to tell us that they were animals.

"I was alongside this pit of fire and I saw all these demons all lined up along the walls, all sizes and shapes of every kind, deformed, ugly creatures, you can imagine.  They were twisted, deformed creatures, huge ones, small ones.  There were giant spiders [he indicated them to be 5 feet tall]rats, snakes, and worms...There are all kinds of abominable creatures everywhere and they seemed to be chained to the walls.  I wondered 'Why are these things chained to the walls'"

And then Bill makes a giant contradiction (about the size of his spiders). He next tells us just who these animals are: "I wondered 'Why are these things chained to the walls.'  I didn't understand that, but there's a scripture on that in 


Jude 6:1 - "And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day" (Internet Script, p. 14). So I was glad they were chained to the walls... I could see all these demons along the walls..." (Internet Script, 23 Minutes in Hell p. 8).

So there we have it: According to Bill, the demons in his hell are angels, angels who sinned, and that Jesus supposedly told Bill that God made hell just for "the Devil and his angels." So hell was made for the Devil and his angels, but Bill then tells us that these "angels," are really demons, and that these "demons" are really animals. But the Greek word translated "angels" is 'angelos,' and means: "an angel, messenger, or pastor, however, demons and animals are NOT "angels, messengers, or pastors."

"Oh, what tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!"
No, demons are not angels, and angels are not demons, and there is not one Scripture to support such a theory.
The "angels of God" (Matt 25:31) and the "angels of the Devil(Matt. 25:31) are the same Greek word, #32, 'angelos,' and the definition of this Greek word is: 'an angel, messenger, or pastor.' (Strong's Greek Dictionary). Nowhere is this word defined as "a demon."

Although the King James does not use the word "demon(s)," At numerous places in Scripture the word "daimon"--meaning 'demon' is found. Example, the word "devils" found in Matt. 8:31 is 'daimon' in the Greek manuscripts. Various English Versions translate 'daimon' into "demons" rather than "devils." But "demons/daimons" are never, ever translated "angels." Whoever or whatever the angels of the Devil are, they assuredly are not invisible or visible huge, ugly, deformed, alien monsters, which Bill calls "demons," "chained angels," and "angels of the Devil."

Please notice once more the definition of "angelos"--"an angelmessenger, or PASTOR" (Dr. Strong's Greek Dictionary #32, 'angelos'). How in the world could anyone confuse the hideous-looking zero IQ monsters in Bill's book, with angels, messengers, or pastors. One could possibly get a few back-woods uneducated aboriginals to worship such creatures, but certainly not hundreds and hundreds of millions of educated Christians. If Rev. 12:9 is a true statement from God, then how is it that the two billion Christians in the world are excluded from "...the whole world" which are deceived by the Devil and his angels?
Only God's innermost dedicated, commandment obeying, spirit converted followers cannot be deceived:

"For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect(Matt. 24:24).

The Apostle John calls the Church of Jesus Christ, "the ELECT Lady"
"The elder unto the elect Lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth" (II John 1:1).

The "elect lady and her children" are those "few chosen" out of the "many called." And these "FEW chosen," cannot be deceived as the "MANY called" are deceived by "the Devil and his angels, which deceive the whole world" (Rev. 12:9). The "whole world" cannot be deceived if two billion Christians (one third of the world's population) are exempt from this prophecy.
Jesus plainly tells us that His Church is composed of two different categories of people. Here are His words:

"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen"
"For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt. 22:14 & Matt. 20:16) 

It is absurd to suggest that two billion people--one third of the world's population, constitute those whom Jesus addresses as the "FEW chosen." Two billion are MANY, not a few.

Or try this: If two billion Christians represent just the "few chosen" elect of God, then who pray tell represents the "many called" of God who are not chosen? Has God called ("called" is from the Greek meaning: "invited to be a saint") all of the non-Christian nations such as China and Russia to be "saints?" I think not. Well then, just where are we to find additional billions of people whom God has called, but who have not been chosen?

Billions and billions of people down through the centuries never even heard of Jesus Christ, so how could they have been "called" to be saints of Jesus Christ? God's word forces us to go with the facts or we will be among those who "despise the Word of God."

Satan deceives the world (except for the "few chosen ELECT" of God) through his own ministers. The Devil's angels are the Devil's ministers, and they are mortal men, not hideous, animalistic, monsters called demons. The "children of the lady" are the "very elect, few,"and Satan the Devil has his "children" as well: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do" (John 8:44).

Now go back to verse 13 and notice who it was that followed Jesus and to whom it was that Jesus addressed: "The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of yourself; your record is not true."

And remember that the Pharisees were the religious leaders of God's church in Judea. But they were not godly men or godly ministers of Jesus, but rather they were the children of their father the DevilThese religious leaders were and still are, "the angels of the Devil"--the"ministers of Satan" (Matt. 25:41 & II Cor. 11:14-15).

Jesus calls these leaders of the Church, "angels of the Devil," "the children of their father the Devil." The Apostle Paul calls them "Satan's ministers."
"For such are false apostlesdeceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; whose end shall be according to their works" (II Cor. 11:15).

So who are you going to believe? Bill Wiese with his hideous, alien, zero IQ monsters, or the Word of God? "The angels of the Devil" are humans, mortals, church leaders:

[1] Jesus calls the Scribes and Pharisees, "...the children of your father the Devil" (John 8:44). The Devil's children are mortal men, not spirit demons.

[2] Both the Hebrew 'malak" ("angels" see Psalm 104:4), and the Greek "angelos" ("angels" see Matt. 25:31) are used in reference to mortal men. The "messengers" in Joshua 6:24 and Luke 7:24, are men, not spirit demons.

[3] Paul said regarding himself and Timothy, "...approving ourselves as the ministers [Gk: 'huperetes'] (II Cor. 6:2), and Paul warns against "Satan's ministers [Gk: 'huperetes'] (II Cor. 11:15). Both are mortal men, not demons.

[4] The Apostle Paul turned the adulterer in I Cor. 5:5 over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh so that his spirit could be saved in "the day of the Lord."
Satan was commissioned to deal with this mortal man, not a spirit demon.

[5] When desiring to test Job to the maximum, God Himself chose Satan to be in charge of Job, who was a mortal man, not a spirit demon.

[6] Although Satan is "...the prince of the demons" they present little challenge to Satan (Matt. 9:34 & 12:24). Here is another occasion where the Lord positions Satan to be the adversary to resist Joshua, the high priest: 
"And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him(Zechariah 3:1)

Satan is nowhere sent to resist a demon, only mortal men, not spirit demons.
Jesus cast out many daimonions/demons (Mark 1:34), but Jesus never cast out Satan's ministers or Satan's "angalos/angels/messengers." Satan's work is to deceive educated leaders in God's Church--mortal men, not spirit demons.
In Acts 13:10, Paul accuses Bar-Jesus (a Jewish false prophet, Verse 6) of being "...you child of the Devil, you enemy of all righteousness..." Those accused of being children of the Devil are always mortal men, not spirit demons.
Jesus accused the religious Scribes and Pharisees of having "the Devil for a father," but never is Satan said to be the father of spirit demons.

"Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils[Greek 'diamonion' - demons] and in thy name done many wonderful works?" (Matt. 7:22)

Notice that these Christian leaders do many things "in the Name" of Jesus Christ. Such as prophesying, casting out demons, and many other wonderful works. Where are "angelos = angels and messengers" cast out in the Name of Jesus Christ? Not anywhere, because these "many" doing these things in Jesus' name are mortal men themselves, not spirit demons.

It's time you are freed from this gross religious deception. There is only one group of people on the face of the earth who ("...prophesy, cast out demons, and do many wonderful works in the Name of Jesus"), and they are the leaders of the Christian Church. The "many" can't be a small satanic cult leader, or a few bad ministers, or the Russians, the Chinese, the Africans, the pagans, the heathen, a half dozen weird cult leaders, or the Hindus, the Muslims, the Communists, or maybe you think it is the atheists who do all these "many wonderful works in the Name of Jesus Christ? Let's take off the blinders and see who these "angels of the Devil" really are:

You are now looking at cartoon/caricatures of the
"angels of the Devil." There are millions of them, and
like Bill Wiese, they have been "deceiving the whole world."
http://bible-truths.com/23-min9.jpg
God calls them: Priests, Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Shepherds,
Watchmen, Teachers, Evangelists, & Ministers, but collectively they
are the "angels & ministers" of Satan.


PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying that all Christian Ministers are the Devil's Angels, but those that are the Devil's angels are ministers and leaders in the Christian Church. There is no other group that can be called "many" which do "many wonderful works in the Name of Jesus" except teachers and ministers in the Christian Church. It is impossible to even conceive of a single non-Christian who would do "many wonderful works," and do them "in the Name of Jesus." So where would one find "MANY" non-Christians who do "many wonderful works" in the "Name of Jesus?"

I will not use real photos of real Christian leaders, as it is not my responsibility to judge any specific Church leaders. But we are admonished: "...by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince [expose] the gainsayers [those who contradict sound doctrine]" And so, I am exposing this unscriptural and evil Christian doctrine of an eternal hell and those who teach it.

No Christian who has studied the Scriptures and been gifted with even a meagre understanding, should be blown away by this revelation regarding the deception of Church leaders. God has always held His church leaders and spiritual guides responsible for the failures in the Church and in the nation. It is shocking when one first reads of God's condemnation of the leaders in His Church.
Here is a plethora of Scriptural proof where God lays the blame for His sheep, His people, His Church, going astray in the past, presently, and in the future:

SHEPHERDS OF ISRAEL

"My people hath been lost sheeptheir SHEPHERDS have caused them to go astray, they have turned them" (Jer. 50:6)

"Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD. Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD" (Jer. 23:1-2)

Are the prophet's words of condemnation, ancient history only? The Shepherds of God's Church (the ministers & pastors) have always lead the flock astray.

"Son of man, prophesy against the SHEPHERDS of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them... Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! Should not the SHEPHERDS feed the flocks?" (Ezek. 34:2)

"As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely because My flock became a preyand My flock became meat to every beast of the fieldbecause there was no shepherd, neither did My shepherds search for my flock, but the SHEPHERDS fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require My flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore; for I will deliver My flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them" (Ezek. 34:8-10)

This is not just ancient history of Israel, but this is also prophecy for us today and the future. There is only one major difference between the shepherds of the past and the shepherds over the Church today, that is, it has gotten worse.

"Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter" (Isaiah 56:11)

That sounds like the ministers and clerics of the "Prosperity Gospel" in today's mega churches, doesn't it?

"Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes ye principal [Heb: 'illustrious leaders'] of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal [illustrious leaders] of the flock to escape(Jer. 25:34-35).

Can one even imagine what it would be like to be a spiritual Shepherd over one of God's congregations, and have Him speak like this to YOU!? Of course, most of the modern "Shepherds" of God's sheep don't even know that these Scriptures are condemning them. Modern ministers of the Church think that all these Scriptures are nothing but ancient history and do not apply to them at all.

FALSE PROPHETS OLD AND NEW

"Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in My Name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart" (Jeremiah 14:14 & 23:26)

There are many Scriptures in the Bible about false prophets. For now, however I wish to discuss only relatively modern false prophets in the church.
Every time I heard one of these self-appointed TV preachers telling everyone what God "spoke to my heart." They are always telling us of a two-way conversation they recently had with the Lord. "The Lord told me this and that..." "The Lord said thus and such..." "I asked the Lord what He will do, and He told me this..." "The Lord told me to tell the people that a great work is coming." "The Lord is so sad because funds are down and people have stopped tithing." "God said we are on the verge of a really great spiritual revival." So 30 day fasting to receive a triple anointing, a whole lot of NONSENSE!
But here is what God really says, but these charlatans can't hear God
:
I sent them not, nor commanded them at all, says the LORD" (Jer. 23:30-32)

"I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy in My Name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart" (Jer. 23:25-26)

PROPHET PETER WALDO: Founder of the Waldensians, of the late 12th century, Peter Waldo who was not permitted to preach by the Archbishop of Lyons, seeing that he was not ordained. In 1214 Pope Innocent denounced the Waldensians as heretics. Peter taught that the Pope is "the Antichrist," and "the man of sin," which would usher in the return of Jesus and the end of the world. I was taught that Peter Waldo was one of the great defenders of the faith.
His prophecies were false, however, as they never happened.

PROPHETS MARTIN LUTHER, JOHN CALVIN, and others, all took their turn in declaring the residing Pope as the Antichrist which would usher in the return of Christ and the end of the world. They are all false prophets--it never happened.

PROPHET WILLIAM MILLER: Miller was a Freemason Baptist minister from Pittsfield, Massachusetts who prophesied that Jesus would return on October 22, 1944. He did not. Miller's loyal followers became known as The Seventh Day Adventists

JEHOVAH'S WITNESS PROPHETS: it’s a bit more complicated issue, I don’t want to get in there, but read (The Watchtower October 15, 1980, page 31).
The year 1975 and 1914 plays a major role in the doctrine of the Jehovah witnesses." (Awake! magazine, October 8, 1966, page 19).

PROPHET ARMSTRONG: Herbert W. Armstrong of Worldwide Church of God fame also prophesied that Jesus would return in 1975 (See booklet: 1975 In Prophecy by Herbert W. Armstrong). I have a copy in my files. Looks like the JW's and Herbert were wrong on this date--Jesus did not return. As 1975 approached, Dr. Rod Meredith suggested that maybe they shouldn't put too much emphasis on that date, as it then looked like it wasn't going to happen. Later the Church made one more attempt by placing Christ's return in the 90's. I believe they have since concluded that they are not very good at setting dates.

PROPHET JACK VAN IMPE: "Judgment is about to fall for all of the 'rottenness' that runs rampant in our beloved land. If it does not commence in 1976I have no doubt that unbelievable calamities will occur before 1980." (What In The World Is Happening?" pp. 29-36). It didn't happen. He later suggested that the planets would align themselves in a certain way and all hell would break out in 1982. It didn't happen. He then said the world would run out of food by 1984. It didn't happen. (underline is mine)

PROPHET HAL LINDSEY: "The Bible fortells [sic] the signs that precede Armageddon" and "We are the generation that will see the end times ... and the return of Jesus" ("The 1980's: Countdown To Armageddon," 1981. Back Cover of paperback edition).
And like Van Impe, Hal Lindsey has Armageddon taking place sometime in the 1990's. It didn't happen. FALSE PROPHETS!!

PROPHET PAT ROBERTSON: "During the fifth year, in 1982, Russia strikes Israel, is defeated, and for seven years Israel makes symbolic offerings by fire of Russian war materiel. These seven years are a transition period for Israel and the world. On the eighth year, there begins a new era -- a new beginning -- for Israel and for the world" (Pat Robertson's Perspective," A special report to members of the 700 Club, February/March 1980. pp. 3 & 5). It hasn't happened.
In the October, 1980, issue of Presbyterian Survey, we find this headline, "Doomsday Tomorrow? Two Leaders Predict It." Those two leaders are Hal Lindsey and Pat Robinson. From the Religious News Service out of New York, we read: "Pat Robertson, the TV evangelist, maintains that the Common Market of Western Europe is the beast with seven heads and 10 horns referred to in the Book of Revelation, and that 'the anti-Christ' will emerge from it." They continue on, "If his dating is 'even close,' Robertson said, 'then we must conclude that there is a man alive today, approximately 27 years old, who is now being groomed to be the Satanic Messiah.'"

"According to Lindsey, the last seven years of history are beginning and 'will culminate with the worst war the world has ever seen, and the Messiah Jesus will come back and stop it and bring about world peace.' That would be the 'millennium,' a thousand year reign by Christ spoken of in Revelation" (The Presbyterian Survey, October, 1980, p. 32). (Underline is mine). Need I remind anyone that their "last seven years of history" began in 1980, and it is now 2010?!

PROPHET BENNY HINNThe Spirit tells me - Fidel Castro will die - in the 90's. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God." (Benny Hinn, Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31st, 1989)
"The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid 90's, about '94-'95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America. [audience applauds] But He will not destroy it - with what many minds have thought Him to be, He will destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will rebel and be destroyed." (Benny Hinn, Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31st, 1989).

Comment: Don't you find it interesting that the Lord knew for sure that Fidel Castro would die in the 90's but wasn't sure of the exact year? Also that the Lord told Benny that God would destroy the homosexual community of America, "about '94-'95)?
I believe, that Jesus, God's Son, is about to appear physically, in meetings and to believers around the world, to wake us up!...Paul and Jan are coming to Nairobi with me, but Paul, we may very well come back with footage of Jesus on the platform!...Paul do you remember when I came on TBN years ago and showed you a clip of the Lord appearing in our church in Orlando, on the balcony on the wall? Yeah. You, you remember that? [Paul Crouch] Very well, I saw it! NONSENSE

[Benny Hinn]... The Lord has done this in the past, but He is about to do it again, now hear this, I am prophesying this! Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is about to appear physically in some churches, and some meetings, and to many of His people, for one reason - to tell you He is about to show up. You have held back from the Lord in the past, don't you dare do it now. The day will come you'll stand before Him and give an answer. How dare we not give to God. How dare we hold back." By holding back, Benny means holding back from giving lots of money to their ministries. (Benny Hinn, TBN Praise-a-thon, April 2nd, 2000).
I won't take the time to comment on the dozens of other popular false prophets.

"That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant" (Isaiah 30:9-13).

Here's what God says through His inspired Prophet, Jeremiah:
"I sent them notneither have I commanded themneither spoke unto them: they prophesy... the deceit of their heart.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal My words...I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD" (Jer. 23:30-32)

Well if God did not send these lying prophets, who did? Whose Prophets are they? They are the ministers of Satan who present themselves as "ministers of righteousness" (II Cor. 11:15). Here's what Jesus said about false prophets:

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Not every one that says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name...And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt. 7:15, 21-23)

And certainly not all the clergy of Christendom are pawns of Satan, but many of them are. Let's get real for a moment, shall we? A few verses before Jesus berates the "many" for their "iniquity" in Matt. 7:17-21, He warns us in vs.15 to:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Excuse me, but did I not read Jesus' warning correctly? Did Jesus say: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you IN WOLVE'S CLOTHING, but inwardly they are gentle sheep"Is that what some of you think Jesus said?
"The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so" (Jer. 5:31)

True words were never spoken: Show the people how they are being ripped off physically, spiritually, and financially, and more often than not, they will hate you for it. They don't want their ministers (their shepherds, pastors, and prophets) to be honest with them. They want to hear "smooth things," and "deceit," but they do not want to hear Isaiah's report to the nation. All too many "despise this word" of Isaiah. They don't want to hear that:

"When Thy judgments are in the earth, THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD will learn righteousness" (Isa. 26:9)

They would rather hear that there is an eternal hell of torture awaiting those who have not had opportunity to be converted in this lifetime.
There have always been false prophets in God's Church, and they will continue to be there until the end.

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction" (II Pet. 2:1)

False prophets are not just something from the past that are found in the Church of God. They are here today in greater numbers than ever:


 "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived" (II Tim. 3:13).

And just who are these "seducers" of which Paul spoke? they are, of course, the "false prophets" of which Jesus spoke

"For false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mark 13:22)

"And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not" (II Peter 2:2)

And as I have already stated the only difference in the false prophets of the past and those of the present is that they were prophesied to GET WORSE! And just how many are there that"...shall follow their pernicious ways...?" BILLION and counting, that's how many!

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish" (Isaiah 2:2-3, 17-18)

Isaiah makes it sound like nearly everyone from every nation is in need of learning about the Lord and His laws. What about the two billion self-professed Christians? And by the time this prophecy takes place on earth, there will be many more Christians than the present two billion. It's time we learned and understood that the basic doctrines of Christendom are not Scriptural.

"And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world [Gk: 'age']?

"And MANY false prophets shall rise, and shall DECEIVE MANY. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible [Thank God that it is not possible...]they shall deceive the very elect" (Matt. 24:3, 11, & 24)

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matt. 24:4-5)

I marvel that theologians teach that many people will come saying that "they are the Christ," No, Jesus did not say that many would come claiming that they, themselves, are Christ, but rather that He (Christ) is the Christ. Now then, who but Christians teach that Jesus Christ IS THE CHRIST of God? No one, but Christians only. So those who "deceive many" are Christians!

About every ten or twenty years a person will come along and claim that he, himself, is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And so, it is not the "many" who do this, but rather only an occasional one every so many decades. And, no one of normal intelligence (certainly not "the many") would ever really believe that these weirdos really are Jesus Christ. So these rare few are not themselves the "many" nor do they deceive the "many."

It's not the Muslims who teach that Jesus is the Christ. It's not the Hindus who teach that Jesus is the Christ. It is not the heathens or the pagans that teach that Jesus is the Christ. And certainly the atheists do not teach the Jesus is the Christ. You know who they are--they are the pastors, ministers, teachers, prophets, priests, shepherds, and theologians of Christendom. They are "many," and Jesus said they would be deceiving "many." There is no other category of people on earth whose number is "many," who claim to represent Christ, and teach that Christ is the Christ, yet are deceiving "many."
If you really think that the leaders of the Christian Church are not these "many false prophets," who are "deceiving many," then you have to account for them with some other large group that does this, or you make Christ and the Scriptures out to be lying.
It does you no earthly good to get angry with me for bringing this message. Peter said it correctly when he warned that God's "... way of truth shall be evil spoken of" (II Pet.2:2).
Those two Jehovah's Witness ministers at my door got angry with what I said, even though what I said was right there in their own Bibles. I have found that there is nothing more impenetrable than a closed mind. Here's what the apostle John has admonished us to do:

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" (I John 4:1)

And just how are we to "try the spirits?" Here's how:
"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to THIS WORD, it is because there is no light in them(Isa. 8:20)

Amazing how we keep coming back to "Isaiah's report," isn't it?
And for sure, the vast majority of Christians and virtually all orthodox Christians (and of course, their leaders and teachers), "...speak NOT according to this word." You can't find the doctrines of the Christian Church in the Scriptures. I have challenged anyone for many years to prove any major orthodox Christian doctrine from God's Word--the Holy Scriptures. Oh don't get me wrong, show any Christian any Scripture and he will SAY that he believes it. But getting him to show you any Christian doctrines from the Scriptures, and he can't.

MINISTERS OF GOD AND MINISTERS OF SATAN

God has "ministers."


 "But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God..." (II Cor. 6:4)

Satan also has "ministers." 
"Therefore it is no great thing if his [Satan's] ministers..." (II Cor. 11:15)

"Ministers" in both verses are translated from the Greek word 'diakonos,' which means: "Specifically a Christian teacher or pastor (technically, a deacon or deaconess)-- deacon, minister, servant." (#1249, Strong's Greek Dictionary).
Hang on to your hat--let me restate that again, as many of you missed it:
A minister of God (II Cor. 6:4) is: "Specifically, a Christian teacher or pastor."
A minister of Satan (II Cor.11:15) is: "Specifically, a Christian teacher or pastor."

It's the same word. It matters not to whom it is applied, the word 'diakonos' has the same meaning. Satan has "diakonos" for his servants and ministers, and his ministers are "Christian teachers and pastors." They ARE "wolves in sheep's clothing," and they ARE "deceiving many." Yes, they do "many wonderful works" in the name of Jesus Christ, but that doesn't make them God's ministers. If doing many wonderful works made them ministers of Jesus Christ, He would never have said: "...depart from Me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt. 7:23). One day this whole Christian charade will be exposed for the whole world to see.

"Mystery Babylon" will no longer be a mystery to anyone. "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad" (Luke 8:17). Satan's ministers will be exposed. Paul shows us an allegory concerning the Church down through the centuries:

"For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who is of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which genders to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all(Gal. 4:44-26)

In Scripture, the Church is likened to a woman. Jerusalem that is in bondage and Jerusalem that is from above which is free. The faction of the Church in bondage is a woman who rides a beast:

"And the angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her..." (Rev. 17:7)

"And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning" (Rev. 18:9)

Mystery Babylon is that portion of the Church which has the ministers of Satan as their teachers and pastors. And those whom God is calling to repentance and obedience to Him are admonished to come out of that system:

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues" (Rev. 18:4)

God's "people" are warned to "come out of" Mystery Babylon the Great. Unless they come out of physical, carnal Jerusalem, they cannot enter into "Jerusalem which is above" which is free, and which is "the mother of us all."

SATAN'S MINISTERS AND PASTORS APPEAR RIGHTEOUS

"And no marvel; for Satan HIMSELF is transformed into an AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. Therefore it is no great thing if HIS MINISTERS also be transformed as the MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; whose end shall be according to their works" (II Cor. 11:14-15)

No, Satan is not transformed into a devil in a red suit, with a tail and a pitchfork.
Nor are Satan's ministers transformed into hideously ugly and deformed demons. Satan presents himself to the world as an "Angel of light," and his ministers are seen (yes, Satan's angels can be seen, but not his demons) as "Ministers of righteousness."

What was Christ's attitude toward the Scribes & Pharisees--the religious leaders of His day? This is shocking, but then again, "Who will believe our report?"
The dominant authority in the Church beside the Priests, were the Pharisees. In John 8:3 Jesus begins dealing with the Scribes and Pharisees along with many Jews from the city. Who were these leaders called "the Scribes and Pharisees?"
The Pharisees were not the priests, but rather people from all walks of life who were very pious and strict keepers of the Law of Moses. They constantly adjusted the Law to fit the changing world according to their traditions and own desires. The more educated of the Pharisees were the Scribes and the rulers of the Jews. Here's a brief historical description of the Scribes and Pharisees:

"In the modern sense they [the Scribes] were the religious scholars or theologians ... sometimes called lawyers ... or teachers of the law ...could make judicial decisions based on Scriptural exegesis, occupied important positions in the Sanhedrin ... played a major role in bringing on the crucifixion of Jesus" and they "mainly belonged to the party of the Pharisees" (Wycliffe's Bible Dictionary, p. 1536).
So the "Party of the Pharisees" consisted of: Religious scholars, theologians, teachers of the law, and crucifiers of Jesus.

Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, "fools, hypocrites, blind guides, whited sepulchers, murderers, a generation of snakes," and many such epithets. Jesus called them "hypocrites" seven times in one chapter. He spoke with scathing derision to the Scribes and Pharisees throughout His ministry; very few of them received a kind word from Him.
Jesus said that the religious leaders in Israel (the Scribes and Pharisees), were of the Devil: 

"Ye [all of you] are of your FATHER THE DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe Me not" (John 8:44-45).

Who are the "Ye" whom Jesus said are of your father the Devil?" The answer is found in Vs.13"the Pharisees," the religious leaders of God's Church. These were mortal men, not spirit demons.
"And said, O full of all subtilty [dishonest, trickery] and all mischief, you CHILD of the Devilyou ENEMY of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" (Acts 13:10)
Paul identifies this "child of the Devil" as a Jewish false prophet, a mortal man, not a demon (See Vs. 6).

On another occasion Jesus called those whom were likened to tares [darnels], "the children of the Wicked [or 'Evil'] one" (Matt. 13:38). And the Wicked one is none other than "the enemy that sows them is the Devil" (See Vs. 39).
Are these "children of the Wicked one," mortal men, or spirit demons? There are two categories of people in this parable:

"The field is the world; the good seed are

[1] the children of the kingdom; but the tares are 
[2] the children of the wicked one" (Matt. 13:38)
The "children" of the kingdom and "children" of the wicked one, are both mortal men, not spirit demons. Demons are not mortal and demons are not visible.
All throughout the Bible we find God condemning the spiritual leaders of his people for their sins and unwillingness to show God's people the right way to live and worship God. Below I give just one example of God's disdain for numerous categories of spiritual leaders:

FALSE APOSTLES: "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ" (II Cor. 11:13)

FALSE PASTORS: "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep" (Jer. 23:1)

FALSE PROPHETS: "Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that puts not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him" (Micah 3:5)

FALSE WATCHMEN: "His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber" (Isaiah 56:10)

FALSE SHEPHERDS: "My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray..." (Jer. 50:6)

FALSE PRIESTS: "Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them" (Ezek. 22:26). 

Just witness the countless thousands of children (most little boys) who have been sexually molested by the very priests they have been taught to look up to and honour!

FALSE MINISTERS: "Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works" (II Cor. 11:15)

FALSE TEACHERS: "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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (II Tim. 4:3-4)

JESUS CONDEMNS THE CHURCH LEADERS

Jesus showed greater condemnation toward the leaders of God's Church than any other category of people during His entire ministry. Selections from Matt. 23:
"But WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES... FOR YOU SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN...
...THEY BIND HEAVY BURDENS and GRIEVOUS to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but will not move them with ONE OF THEIR FINGERS

WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES... you DEVOUR WIDOW'S HOUSES... you shall receive the greater damnation.
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES...
WOE unto you, ye BLIND GUIDES...
You FOOLS AND BLIND...

WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You... have omitted... JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH...
You BLIND GUIDES, which strain out a gnat, and SWALLOW A CAMEL.

WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES... within they are full of EXTORTION AND EXCESS.
You BLIND PHARISEES...
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You are FULL OF DEAD MEN'S BONES, and ALL UNCLEANESS... and HYPOCRISY and INIQUITY...

WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES!... you are the children of them which KILLED the prophets. FILL YOU UP then the measure of your fathers.
You SERPENTS, you GENERATION OF SNAKES... you KILL AND CRUCIFY... you SCOURGE in your synagogues... Behold your house is left unto you DESOLATE"!

WOW! Every one of these comments from Matt. 23 were spoken directly to the "Religious Scholars and Theologians" in the Church of God centered at the Temple in Jerusalem. Would Jesus speak in the same manner to the Religious Scholars and Theologians in God's Church today? Does Jesus "change"? NO. Has the Church changed in the past 2000 years? YES. It has gotten WORSE.
The Scribes and Pharisees were just as respected by the citizens of their day just as the priests,
Jesus warned:

"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:20)

He could just as well have warned us today: "Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the priests, ministers, pastors and theologians of the Christian Church, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

CHURCH APOSTASY STARTED BEFORE PAUL'S MINISTRY ENDED

"For I know this that after my departing [the Apostle Paul] shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:29-30)

It is only when Jesus confronts the religious leaders that His tone of voice and choice of words changes dramatically from how He spoke to the people in general. Jesus came to expose evil and hypocrisy like no one had ever done before. His voice was the "voice of a trumpet." God told Isaiah to:

"Cry ALOUD, SPARE NOT, lift up your voice like a TRUMPET, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins" (Isa. 58:1)

Likewise, as a servant of God I cannot expose the evil and hypocrisy in the Church and in this world with a song in my heart, a smile on my face, and a chuckle in my voice! Sorry, but that won't get the job done. But try to palm off the evil and vile doctrines of the Church to God's "little ones," 
God is Good, and God is Wise, and God is Powerful, and God is LOVE, and God is enlarging His Family with billions of Sons and Daughters who will truly be for the first time in history, purged and purified, and finally molded into the desire of God's heart from the beginning of time when He declared: "Let Us be making humanity... in OUR Image!"

It will be a painful and tormenting journey. It will be the most difficult thing that any human will ever experience in all eternity, but it must be done. It is only temporary, and it will yield ETERNAL GLORY to God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and ETERNAL GLORY to the entire human race. There will be no eternal hellhole of misery, heartache, and suffering in God's universe. And He has given us a foretaste of good things to come. And through His Spirit, and through faith and hope, we can see already the spiritual joys of a never-ending life in the Kingdom and Family of God
.
"For this is GOOD and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; WHO WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (I Tim. 2:4)

This IS the "desire and good pleasure" of God Almighty. And God has said:
"My counsel shall stand, and I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE" (Isa. 46:10)


despite those clergymen of the world who contradict and teach to the contrary. Many hate, and loathe, and despise these plain and simple declarations of God. But their time is very short. I have presented just a small part of the GOOD NEWS GOSPEL that precious few on earth have ever heard or experienced.


The "TRUMPET" of Isaiah 58:1 is being sounded on http://khodjo.blogspot.com, and in articles like the one you are now reading
.
WHAT "DAMNABLE HERESIES" WAS PETER TALKING ABOUT?

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as THERE SHALL BE FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not(II Pet. 2:1-3)

there were false prophets also among the people
We have seen a list of false prophets of old and some in our day. Notice all the Scriptures where God utterly condemns the prophets, shepherds, watchmen, pastors, and priests over Israel, and then see how many Scriptures you can find where God praises these same religious leaders of His Church.

there shall be false teachers among you
I have shown you the Scriptures regarding "false teachers" in the Scriptures, and I have shown you some of the "false teachers among you" that have lied to the modern Church of God in our day and age.

shall bring in damnable heresies
What "damnable heresies?" Notice the future tense of this statement of Peter's: "shall bring in damnable heresies." What damnable heresies are being taught "among you" today that were not taught in the time of Peter and the Apostles? Well, the most offensive of all is the Christianization of the pagan hell of torture in literal fire, for all eternity.

Notice that "heresies" is in the plural. To the eternal hell heresy, we could add many more unscriptural teaching in the apostate Church. Here are a few examples: the "immortal soul" doctrine; the "judgment at death without a trial" doctrine; the "man has a free will, free choice, free moral agency" heresy; the "most of humanity will be eternally lost" heresy; the "Satan was once a perfect and beautiful archangel" heresy; the "heaven & earth was created in 144 hours only six thousand years ago" heresy; the "priests can't marry" heresy; the "many desires of God will fail" heresy; the "Jesus will fail to be the Saviour of the world" heresy; the "it's okay to go to war and kill one's enemies" heresy; the "Bible is literal" heresy; the "Jesus never died" heresy; the "God is a trinity" heresy. Etc...

many shall follow their pernicious ways
As always, it is always the "many" who are following the wrong way, the broad way, that is presently leading to "destruction" (Matt. 7:13). So in this case also, whom is it that are "following the pernicious ways" (the broad way, the WRONG way) of the Church? Why it is the "many." Pernicious means, waste, ruin, damnable, destructive, to die.

denying the Lord that bought them
"Lord" means "Master," "Controller," "Supreme authority." So how does the Church deny the Supreme authority of their Master and Controller? By denying that Jesus is the Master, Controller, and Supreme authority send by God, and denying that Jesus will do what He was commissioned by His Father to do: First and foremost: "To BE the Saviour of the World" (I John 2:2; 4:14; John 1:29; John 4:42).

the way of truth shall be evil spoken of
Since most Christians don't know "the way of truth," this one is difficult for them to understand. All we have to do is pay close attention to whom Peter is addressing with this "evil condemnation of the truth." Notice once again, as with the many examples presented in this paper, that it is the "many" members of the Church, not athiestic outsiders, that are speaking evil of the truth. If the Church has the truth, then the "many" members of the Church would not be "speaking evil of the truth." But no, the "many" members OF the Church, IN the Church are speaking evil of those who have "come OUT OF HER" -- the apostate Church (Rev. 18:4), and are now speaking and living "the way of truth."

they with feigned words make merchandise of you
"Feigned" means false. Their words are false and their doctrines are likewise false. They invent unscriptural nonsense such as "TITHE MONEY." Money was never a tithable commodity. Tithing was a "law" in ancient Israel (Heb. 7:5), not a "principle" as the Church now calls it seeing that they have done away with the law, yet they cling to tithing like it was the goose that laid the golden eggs. Nonsense.
They "make merchandise" of you, that is they buy merchandise--with your money--TITHE MONEY. They need your money to support their lavish and gaudy life styles. Many pastors lust for Rolex watches, Giorgio Armani and Brioni suits (from £3000 to £6000), mansions, yachts, corporate jets, expensive foods and wine, hookers and prostitutes, or anything else their worldly, materialistic, and carnal little heart’s desire.

I heard prophet Benny Hinn with my own ears state on international television that there are people that are destined for the fires of hell simply because people have not send in enough money to reach them with their version of the gospel. OH MY MY!

Does the lifestyle of those on TBN (T.V) mirror in any way the sacrifices that they ask (intimidate) poor people to make? I think not. Notice that they use "feigned words." That means false wordsUsing our tithing heresy example, they want you to think that 


"God loves a cheerful TITHE-PAYER" (II Cor. 9:7) rather than a "cheerful GIVER." It is not wrong to voluntarily give money to help with Church expenses, but it is a sin to say it is a law, the breaking of which brings death.
How long will Church leaders get away with their unscriptural and ungodly doctrines? Only as long as any one of them can live. After that, Judgment.

There is coming a resurrection to judgment. No, no one is coming back from heaven to be judged, neither is anyone coming back from hell to be judged. "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God [for those called and chosen few Elect]and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" (I Pet. 4:17).


Them that obey not the gospel will come up in judgment, and in judgment, the along with the inhabitants of the whole world, "will learn righteousness" (Isa. 26:9). For those who have known what the Scriptures say, and yet flagrantly despise God's Word, judgment will not be a happy time, although it will eventuate in salvation.
Dare we take a look at religion while we are at it? Well, it's all about to come down, and come down very hard. 

More to come, so stay tuned. God loves you.

  2. I'm surprise you could even consider yourself a minister, you are absolutely used by the devil to discredit
    God's work.You are a wolf in sheep clothing and people like you, it would be better that you were never born.

  3. why is that there is no Godly wisdom in your writings?? I can't find any trace of Yeshua's peace in your writings. Does it really matter if Yeshua had long hair or not....Bible doesnt promote Yeshua's looks. So I think you are wasting time trying to find faults on the wrong things. I dont think Bill Weise is false or fraud because he has nothing to gain if anyone beleives him or not. The point in what he tells is not to go to hell and make sure you are prepared when Yeshua comes like a thief at night to gather all who waited for Him to come. What Bill says is in tune with what the Bible says. The Bible clearly says that in the end people will be grouped into two groups like the wheat and tares. The tares will be tied up and burned like wise whoever's name in not in God's Book will be thrown into fiery lake of hell and there will weeping, gnashing of teeth and torment forever!!! So I dont understand where you got confused by Bill.

  6. Hello, I just read an intro part not all..I need more time later to finish all. However what I feel is that hell is real place no matter what. It is a place you have great suffering in fire (real fire or fire in you making burn..) and that is perpetual. No matter what words each bible used for it, the place where evil people like antichrists and false prophets exist, and we clearly can choose on our will if we are human beings not mixed with something wicked like alien. Bible says hell was created by God for only Satan and angels which following Satan. So we human being which created by God are not supposed to follow Satan to hell. So if any human beings in evil Satan, can repent seriously, and come back to our Father God through Jesus (Yeshua, in Hebrew tongue) Christ of Nazareth. Truth is simple! Very simple. You repent all your sin, and live life holy by guidance of holy spirit. Once you do sincere repent, you are ready to accept holy spirit (sinful body cannot hold hold spirit). You will be guided till the end where our messiah Jesus Christ of Nazareth appears in the air to catch up his saints and true believers. We might fall for sin again and again, BUT repent every time as fast as you can, and try not to sin with all your heart.
    We are very close from the wonderful miraculous ending event of rapture. Be not deceived by the antichrist though. Matthew 24:24. Keep reading bible, as it is compass to right direction. God bless you all!!! Shalom!
