Which Jesus do you Worship?

I feel this is a vitally important message and I hope to do it justice from the Lord. There are probably more examples than the ones I've given, but you get the general idea. I am seeing so many believers completely bamboozled by lies and deceptions, not about minor things but about things that threaten their very eternity!  I'm having my Brother Joe putting together a more researched and comprehensive list of false doctrines taught today, so expect that in the future. But for now, read through this list and make sure you are on the right and narrow path!

The number ONE Thing Jesus first mentioned in Matthew 24 when the disciples asked about the End Times was

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.  v. 4-5

The verse doesn't just mean people who claim to be the Messiah, but it means people who claim to have His anointing!.  

Throughout the New Testament we are warned over and over about false doctrines and prophets!  (Read 2 Peter 2)

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:14

Why are people so deceived?

1. They don't know the Bible or read the Bible for themselves
2. They are followers of some pastor or teacher whom they believe would never lead them astray
3. They belong to a church or group in which they have many friends and they don't want to lose them
4. The false words they hear align with their deceived perception of Christianity and the World and their dreams and hopes for the future.
5. The pastor they listen to talks about them, their lives, and how God will fulfill all their dreams

6. They love their sin

Make sure the Jesus you and your church worship is the Real one. For there are many False Ones out there today

These are the obvious ones

Mormons believe Jesus and Lucifer are brothers, that God was once a man who progressed to godhood and that we can do that too. 

Jehovah's witnesses believe Jesus was the Archangel Michael, a created being before the physical world was created.

Islam believes Jesus was a great prophet but not the son of God

Buddhists consider Jesus a respected prophet

Hindus believe Jesus was a prophet and holy teacher but not a savior or redeemer

Catholicism can be a bit more obscure. They say they believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. They believe that Jesus died and resurrected and offers salvation to all. But based on my studies and what many others have learned and obvious evidence in the Catholic statues, writings, sculptures, decorations, etc.. it seems they have substituted the Demon gods for the Trinity. Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. Emperor Constantine merely combined pagan gods, temples and worship with Christianity. Here's one short article about that, but there are many more if you care to research. Many things in the Catholic church are pagan and demonic, including Mary worship, Rosary beads, Jesus on the cross, Communion, the Pope being in place of God here on Earth, saint worship. I don't want to insult any Catholics who view this blog, but I must warn you. Be sure you are worshipping the Real Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him, not with Tammuz! 

A brief warning here about Ecumenicalism, which is a movement to combine all "Christian" religions into one for worldwide cooperation and unity. As you have seen above, to do so would be blasphemous. Unfortunately this is what the very popular series Chosen is trying to do, so be careful!

Now, for the real insidious deception. What about your average Evangelical or Denominational church? 

Your pastor may say the name of Jesus, may preach about Him, may worship him, but is it the Jesus of the Bible? 

One thing to point out is that many pastors are Freemasons. Freemasons do not believe Jesus is the Son of God. Freemasons at their core worship Satan as god. So the god they are talking about is not Jesus. 

Back to how do you know? How can you tell what Jesus is preached in your church?

• Fruit of the pastor and church. What is your pastor's lifestyle? His marriage, kids? His wealth? His demeanor when no one is looking?
• Doctrine. This is essential. If any doctrine your church or pastor believes does not line up with the Bible, then the Jesus they worship is not the real Jesus

Here are some examples of false doctrines.

• God accepts and loves homosexuals and transgenders 
• Once you say a prayer to "receive Jesus" (not in the Bible), then you can live a life of sin and still go to heaven
• You don't need to ever repent of your sins
• You don't need to live a life of submission and obedience to Jesus and His Word
• Jesus wants you to live your best life here on Earth. Prosperity Gospel
• Just Tithe this amount of money and God will bless you 100 fold 
• Name it, claim it!  You have the power by the Holy Spirit to call things that aren't into existence. If you have enough faith, you can have anything you ask for
• You can become a little god
• Christ consciousness
• Abortion is not a sin
• God isn't a Trinity
• Jesus is not the Only Way to Eternal Life
• Eternal Security
• Calvinism - Predestination . We have no choice in salvation
• Preterism - All Biblical prophecy has been fulfilled in 70 AD
• The Church has taken over the role of Israel. Replacement theology

So, if my church believes in any of these doctrines, does that mean they don't worship the real Jesus? Yes. I'm saying that's quite possible. Why? Because if Jesus was in charge of that church as the Head of that church and those in leadership were true Holy Spirit filled and led Christians who have a personal relationship with the Real Jesus, then why would they be preaching doctrines that are clearly against the Word of God?  

You may argue away one or two of them as being debatable doctrinally, but not most of them. The reason I'm being so controversial is because this is Immensely Important to your eternal salvation!  Remember in Matthew 7 where some people who believed they were Christians, who had done miracles for the Lord were told by Jesus that He never knew them?  So, it's possible to think you are worshiping the right Jesus, think your pastor or church is worshiping Jesus, but you are utterly wrong. 

I think the problem with most Christians today is that they do not read their Bibles. They rely on pastors, teachers and sermons to get the Word of God. This is a HUGE MISTAKE. There are many many wolves among the sheep right now before the Rapture. Satan wants to snatch as many of us away from the Shepherd's care so we won't escape. 

This is Not bragging at all. Early on when I got saved, the Lord impressed upon me to read the Bible everyday. I'm not talking about one chapter here and there. And I'm not talking about a 5-minute devotional. I'm talking about 4 or more chapters, depending on the time I have. I have read through the Bible multiple times...probably at least 20. When I finish, I start back over again in Genesis. Sometimes I read 2 chapters of the Old Testament and then 2 Chapters in the New. Every day. Along with my time in prayer. While I'm reading, I'm constantly talking with the Holy Spirit, asking Him questions about what I'm reading, making comments, asking Him to reveal things to me I haven't seen before. It's my favorite time of day! I honestly believe this is why I have not fallen for any of the above false doctrines. (I'm not saying I have everything right, but I do pray for discernment and wisdom everyday.)  Whenever I listen to a sermon and I feel this tiny little wince inside my spirit, I know that's the Holy Spirit saying "check on this, something's off".  I can't tell you the number of pastors and teachers I no longer listen to. 

I'm telling you all this because it's vital and extremely important that you stay in God's Word now more than ever. Make it a habit to read several chapters a day. I know we are all busy! I understand. But what is more important?  

Your eternal soul is at stake.
