The purpose of these podcast, which Harold and I created, is to show what the Bible says about authority and to expose them who usurp that authority. We find biblical reasons to expose what has and is going on in the name of Christ. These men week after week usurping the authority of Christ and some have been doing this for 50+ years. It is impossible to expose them all so we will expose just a few well know false pastors/teachers.

We have all been brainwashed by the traditions of Constantine, King James 1, most of the bible versions that still use the word church, and The man-made Institutional Church.

In this podcast we want explain the difference between the word “Church” in the Bible and the Greek word “Ecclesia”. But first and foremost, we want to encourage you to do as Bereans in: · Acts 17:11 (ESV) Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

In this podcast we want to continue to look at the word UNTIL found in Ephesians 4:13 (ESV) UNTIL we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. We will finish with the last 2 principles to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

In this episode we want to show the authority that was given to Timothy and Titus.

In this episode we are continuing to show the authority that was given to the Apostles from Jesus. Matthew 28:18 (ESV) All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 10:1 (ESV) And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.

The question you need to ask yourself , is Jesus Christ building His Church or is man building his church. These questions and many more we will discuss in the following podcast. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18

This distinction is mine because I successfully completed a three-year graduate program in theology (I'm also a Master of Divinity) and passed a theological exam before a body of ministers and elders. Upon passing that examination I was ordained and granted the privilege of being addressed as Reverend. This distinction also entitled me to be the pastor of a church: its preacher, the one who oversees the church ordinances, and the one privileged to pronounce the benediction. According to the church and the world, I am one set apart. I am a member of the clergy, and my title distinguishes me as such. Sounds pretty good, huh?

Way back, when God had a word for the people of Israel, He spoke it first to Moses who then spoke it to the people in such a way that the words of Moses were the words of God. As it turned out, whenever someone questioned Moses or whenever someone dismissed Moses, severe judgment from God was levied upon him. “Pastors” today teach AND practice this same arrangement and actually enjoy saying that they have the same authority, the same administration, and the same functionality of Moses as it relates to “their own congregations.” Really?

No thought or study whatsoever is ever given to Scripture on these matters. How can we claim to take the New Testament seriously as our "rule of faith and practice," and yet turn a deaf ear to clear, undeniable patterns of servanthood and ministry which marked the early apostolic churches? If our current practice contradicts the New Testament, why do we keep affirming it as our infallible guide? Why don't we just admit that we do not really care what the New Testament says, and that we prefer our inherited way of doing things? What are YOU prepared to do about this?

The Bible’s authorized church government ceased with the death of the last Apostle, the chain of command having been irrevocably broken. Therefore, all church governments since then are man-made, unauthorized, and unbiblical.

It is hard for a Jesus loving Christian to honestly believe that a kindly speaking leader with a great knowledge and understanding of the Bible, who talks fervently about the Lord, can be motivated by a sinister and wicked heart and whose seared conscience is carefully concealed from almost all of them. A sincere Christian naturally won’t suspect the minister, preacher, teacher, pastor, or reverend is unscrupulously lying and flattering in utter hypocrisy to harm innocent people, and secretly hates those who are crushed by the lies and flattery. Some leaders really do prefer others to fear them, rather than love them.

I will lists his five reasons and then comment on each one. He makes these five points as to why skipping church is a really bad idea: 1) You will miss out on God’s primary design for your spiritual growth and well- being. 2) You disobey God. 3) You make a statement to the world that God is not worthy of worship. 4) You can’t minister to anyone. 5) You skip out on a foretaste of heaven.

- Why do you transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? - You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, This people honors me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. - But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their doctrines the commandments of men. - Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. - You blind people, always straining out the gnat, and swallowing the camel! - Woe unto you, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within are full from extortion and excess. - You blind people, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.

The caption to this article sets forth the indisputable fact that when "body" refers to God's people, the ekklesia, there is only ONE! Not two; not many, but one. Ephesians. 4:4. Over and over again, the apostle Paul uses the figure of the human body to represent the Lord's people, and he always has in mind the one great gathering from the world of darkness "into the kingdom of the Son of his love". Colossians. 1:13. He never applies the figure to a group of disciples in any given locale, except to include them as part of "the one body"! Interestingly, Paul is the only inspired writer to use this figure; and we plan to examine every verse that deals with this subject. Then, we will see without a doubt how Paul used the figure of "the body."

In CHRISTIANITY MAGAZINE, January 1989, there was an article under the above heading. Since the word "flock" above is in the singular, it sounds like God has only one flock, but apparently the writer does not believe this. Jesus Himself said: "...they shall become one flock with one Shepherd." John 10:16. But our brother flies in the face of what Jesus said and tells his readers that: "Today, each local congregation is a flock of God's sheep." Dear brother or sister, do you believe that baseless assertion? I suspect that many of you might accept it without question because you have heard such taught before. Does the Lord have a First Baptist flock, a Reformed Presbyterian flock, an Emanuel Evangelical flock, and such like? Is each local church a separate, independent, autonomous flock of sheep, each with its own name?

There are three reasons why a Christian should never do church in a church building: scriptural reasons, psychological reasons, and functional reasons. The first reason you should not worship in a church building... First, the scriptural reasons. Let me ask you a preliminary question: how many Christian church buildings do you find in the inerrant, infallible, and inspired Scriptures, which are profitable for edification and rebuke? The answer is simple: ZERO!! NONE!! NADA!! Don't you find it passing strange that the book that has all of the doctrine to tell us how to live out our lives in church not once announces that doctrine in the context of a building?

In the Old Testament, the enemy that threatened Israel the most was the dictatorship of the customary. Israel became accustomed to walking around in circles and was blissfully content to stay by the safety of the mountain for a while. To put it another way, it was the psychology of the usual. God finally broke into the rut they were in and said, "You have been here long enough. It is time for you to move on."

They assume that we must start so-called “churches” in order for us to carry out God's purposes in the world. They say that first, you must realize that Christ was forming your little group into a “church”. Next, there must be a commitment to “public worship”; and after that, a commitment to the Bible’s order of so-called “church government.”

"Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse" (1 Corinthians 11:17). Jesus made it clear that "where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there I am in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20). Just two or three! I thank and praise God that Jesus did not say, "Where two or three THOUSAND are gathered together, there I am." He did not say, "Where two or three HUNDRED are gathered together, there I am." And He did not say, "Where two or three DOZEN are gathered together, there I am."
