The leaders and the Priests in Paul’s time were told something interesting:
Matthew 23:15
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.”
A proselyte is a person who has converted from one opinion, religion, or party to another and nothing much has changed today.
The Priests and Leaders in modern times are alive and well teaching the commandments and traditions of men just like they were in Paul’s time. The first day of the week Sabbath, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, birthdays, Halloween, Father and Mother’s Day are all manmade commandments and not God-ordained.
These have all been blended into Christianity to throw dirt over Gods true Sabbath, commandments, appointments and feast days. With over 4500 different denominal manmade doctrines, theology, and pagan traditions, people are destroyed through lack of knowledge, and many have rejected knowledge.
The Roman Empire banned Christianity for the first 289 years after the apostles. The apostles were heavenly persecuted during this time. Emperor Constantine paved the way for religious toleration with the aim of blending paganism into Christianity for financial gain and greater acceptance to his rule AD313. 12 years after this in AD325 Constantine tried to unify Christianity at the Council of Nicaea. At that time it had begun to fragment with other pagan gods and other religions. Constantine was a pagan from birth and Christianity became a watered-down product of both paganism and Christianity.
The Roman Catholic Church outlawed any Christian to read or translate the Bible. Whole communities of people were brutally murdered for owning a Bible. Throughout history, the Roman Catholic Church has killed up to 68 million people for simply reading a Bible.
The Dark Ages was called the Dark Ages because the Word of God was lost.
In America before the Declaration of Independence, nine colleges were established – (Harvard), William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, King’s or Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania, Brown, Dartmouth, and Queen’s or Rutgers. They were to be missionary colleagues to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and his second coming to the world after the Dark Ages.
The (Dark Ages) is a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the fall and decline of the Roman Empire. These institutions were established to restore biblical truth, laws and values. Well obviously all nine colleagues were corrupted, the biblical truth twisted, blended with paganism and blatantly removed for the evolution theory.
The Smithsonian Institute was established in 1846. The Institution was founded with funds from the Englishman James Smithson (1765–1829) according to his wishes, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge. After the civil war, the Smithsonian began to adopt a strategy of (excluding) any evidence with direct foreign influence in the US prior to Columbus. All of these policies can be directly traced back to Major John Wesley Powell from 1879 to 1902.
Since its advent, the Smithsonian Institution and its eleven museums have been visited by millions of people who believe a lie. Real American history was hidden and changed. Prior to the establishment of the federal department of education, the Smithsonian Institution was loomed upon as the bedrock and guardian of physical facts. Their misguided thinking shaped the universities and the New World. The Smithsonian has been involved in a vast deception of US true history since the 1880s.
Evolution was rammed down our throats from Harvard college and the rest as the basis of all science and all knowledge.
The oldest archaeology discovered is located in Armenia where an ancient observatory has been found with hieroglyphs and petroglyphs. Mount Ararat is translated as (mountains of Armenia) (montes Armeniae) in the Vulgate, the fourth-century Latin translation of the Bible. Nevertheless, Mount Ararat is traditionally considered the resting place of Noah’s Ark. It is called a biblical mountain.
It predates Stonehenge by 2000 years and has holes in to map the constellations. They knew where Sirius was the brightest star in the night sky between 25-28 hundred BC. These are the men who followed the creator after Noah’s Ark. Another group of men went the other way and built the male symbol on the ground or the phallic symbol out of rock. There are 2000 petroglyphs of Adam and Eve in Armenia that have people and animals getting off a boat. This is where civilisation started after the flood. The further back you go the smarter people got with elaborate structures like Machu Picchu or the Incas. We must remember there was an ancient race of renowned Giant people, that built a lot of the ancient structures around the world that we can’t explain today how they were constructed.
Giant skeletons are located all over the world but are either destroyed, hidden from public knowledge or told they are fake. Instead of a common ancestor, mankind came from Adam and Eve who were bigger, smarter and more intelligent as they walked with God. Giant people and bigger animals of the time slowly died out as the climate was different after the flood.
People started to not live as long as before and the dead giant people were buried in graves all around the world. For more information on the Giants and the great Smithsonian coverup please read the book the Ancient Giants who ruled America by Richard J Dewhurst which covers the missing skeletons and the great Smithsonian coverup, or click the link to my article which covers this topic more. https://christianityshines.com/2020/06/29/the-coverup-of-mankinds-history-giants-and-fallen-angels/?frame-nonce=c9d61bd4a6
It wasn’t until the Reformation era began that most biblical scholars will tell you, that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Church on Halloween day. Society was finally able to own a Bible without being put to death by the Roman Catholic Church.
But we know the reformation began much earlier by men like John Wycliffe who was also known as the Morning Star because of his contributions to challenging the Catholic Church and his calls for reform. He translated the Vulgate into English, back in 1382. The Roman Catholic Church dug up the bones of John Wycliffe forty years after his death just to perform a satanic ritual on his bones. The Council of Constance (1414 to 1418) declared Wycliffe a heretic on May 4th 1415. They declared his work should be burned forever.
Men came after Wycliffe like John Huss and William Tindall who translated Bibles but they were tied to a post and strangled to death by the Roman Catholic Church and set on fire, for giving the Bible back to the people. The Roman Catholic Church over the centuries created the first day of the week Sunday Sabbath to replace Gods seventh-day Sabbath. All four gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all agree that Jesus died on Passover Day or Preparation Day, the day before the Feast of unleavened bread.
The Catholic Church moved the death of Jesus Christ to Good Friday and called it the pagan name Easter. Christmas is just another manmade creation of Catholicism and is well known to be steeped in the celebration of Saturnalia and the birth of Mithras. Santa Clause or Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure described as “half-goat, half-demon”, who, during the Christmas season, punishes children who have misbehaved. Every major Sun God from Tammuz, Mithras, Moloch, Baal and others, have the same birthday on December 25th even though they were known at different times. Adam and Eve, the Apostles and Jesus Christ never recorded or celebrated their birthdays. Maybe it’s because we are honouring ourselves for a day and not God?
So once again birthdays are a pagan holiday made by man and not God-ordained. How could they have gotten away with all this?
By preaching and teaching a false doctrine, that Gods laws have all been done away with and fulfilled by Jesus, so we don’t have to be bothered with them. Jesus told us very clearly he came to fulfil the law:
Matthew 5:17-19
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Whosoever, therefore, shall break (one) of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven): but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
If this is true and Gods law still stands which it does, then the Pope has no authority over the masses of his people. He can’t forgive sins or change anything of the Word of God. He can’t alter the Ten Commandments or call himself the Vicar to the Son of God. He can’t get you to bow down and kiss his golden pagan ring, but he has done all of the above.
The Roman Catholic Church did many things which are contrary to the Bible, the most ancient are the prayers for the dead and the sign of the Cross. Both began three hundred years after Christ. Wax Candles were introduced around 320 and the veneration of angels and dead saints was introduced about 375.
The worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the use of the term, “Mother of God”, given to her originated in 431. The doctrine of Purgatory was first established by Gregory the Great about the year 593 as is totally unbiblical
Matthew 23:8–12
“But you are not to be called (rabbi), for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And I call no man your (father) on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called (instructors), for you have one instructor, the Christ. The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Any manmade Catholic title like Reverend or Father is exalting yourself over Christ and is not God-ordained. There are many human traditions taught and practised by the Roman Catholic Church, which are contrary to the Bible, the most ancient are the prayers for the dead and the sign of the Cross. Both began 300 years after Christ.
Almost all of the 4500 denomination of Christianity who denounces Catholicism like the Baptist’s and the Pentecostals follow Roman Catholic Church pagan practises to this day. These indeed are the daughters of Catholicism. Today’s Christianity requires you to sit in the church on the wrong day of the week Sunday, and preach the love of God, we are all saved, whilst never covering important topics like marriage and divorce, the Sabbath and the true festivals of God. We are conveniently programmed not to read the first half of the Bible because man named it (The Old Testament).
The Old Testament is thought and taught that it’s all be done away with, nailed to the cross, even though none of this is taught in the Bible. Christmas trees are placed in churches that are phallic symbols, and children are still given Easter eggs because it’s fun for them, while depriving them of biblical truth, let alone this is worshipping the Image of the Beast. Many people worship the Image of the Beast unknowingly today, which is why mankind will never be holy like Christ.
Wearing the brand Nike is worshipping the image of the Beast as Nike is a pagan God-Baal-Satan. Celebrating pagan festivals like Christmas, birthdays, and Easter are all worshipping his image. Buying and drinking energy drinks with satanic names on the can is worshipping his image. If you are interested in reading about satanic energy drink brands please click the link provided:

People just go along with the accepted norm thinking it’s alright. Generation to generation we sit in a church, observe Christmas and others because that’s what we’ve been programmed to do:
Jude 1:5
The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People
“Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly (slipped) in among you.
They are (ungodly) people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later (destroyed) those who did not believe.”
So we need to understand who we are as born-again Christians. Some will tell you they represent the gentile church which is separate and apart from the Jews. Others have said they have replaced the Israelites as Gods preferred chosen people. Some claim to live under Grace and are free to do what they like as they are saved and not under the bondage of Gods laws. So what should a true born-again Christian be?
When was the first gentile grafted into the body of Christ?
Exodus 12:48-49
“If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a (native of the land). But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. There shall be one law for the (native) and for the (stranger) who sojourns among you.”
When Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt many Egyptians went with them. God told the Israelites to (graft) them in. Both the grafted-on branch (Egyptians) and the original branches (Israelites) must bear fruit or they will be thrown into the fire. Is this taught in Christianity today?
4500 denominations of church very rarely teach this simple Bible truth:
Numbers 15:15-16
“The community is to have the same statutes for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.”
