Fulton Sheen and the Anti Christ

Standing on my head ^ | 11/23/2013 | Fr Dwight Longenecker

[Mrs. Don-o]

I think you ought to have noticed that the presence of "question marks" ("???") indicates that I was asking questions, not putting words into your mouth.

So for clarity's sake, I will repeat in question form:

Do you say that all churches that you could find in the Yellow Pages, all churches that have a name and an address, even an e-mail address, are false? invalid? Nicolaitan?

Do you think that making the true Yeshua assembly "findable" via a place, an address, contact information, etc. would be a step towards inauthenticity?

One would have to be able to find a church, in order to bring that church's judgment to bear in a matter of dispute as in Matthew 18:1. Say I have a dispute with a fellow believer. Where do I find a church?

Let's suppose I were to say I am a member of this Yeshua Church. Where would I find my fellow believers? Say I wanted to visit the Yeshua assemblies in East Tennessee. Is there a directory? A contact person?

I really don't know anything about Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, or David Jeremiah. They and their methods of publicity are not within my field of interest.

I do know the Apostles after Pentecost worked almost full time announcing the Gospel: they attracted crowds with their preaching, teaching, and mass baptisms. Does this conflict with our notion that there's "no need to advertise anything"?

The NT church, even in embryo, had structure: diakonoi, presbyteroi, episcopoi. It had recognized leadership, men who had the authority to say (like St. Paul) "Listen to this teacher" and "Don't listen to that teacher." "Celebrate the Lord's Supper this way," "Don't celebrate it that way." "Welcome this man into your community," "Expel that other man from your community." I suppose your Yeshua assemblies have recognized leadership, too?

>> “ Is there a directory? A contact person?” <<

.
The Holy Spirit.

Much the same way that Phillip encountered the eunuch in the desert, those that truly seek are guided home.

>> “Where do I find a church?” <<

Through prayer. There is no other way.

>> “Do you say that all churches that you could find in the Yellow Pages, all churches that have a name and an address, even an e-mail address, are false? invalid? Nicolaitan?” <<

Probably not all, but the overwhelming majority. Yeshua’s gate is very narrow, and few there be that find it. That is what he said.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Do you believe that the overwhelming majority of Christians are going to be tortured for eternity in a lake of fire?

[editor-surveyor]

The answer to that question depends on who is a “Christian.”

By Yeshua’s definition: Those that keep his commandments and endure to the end, answer is definitely no.

By the Churchinist definition: Those that make up their own doctrines, and feasts, obviously yes.

I cannot believe that one person that celebrates “christmas” and Easter will find Yehova’s rest. Certainly not anyone that teaches others to follow those abominations.

He said that his gate is narrow.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I just find this so remarkable. All the Christians who celebrate Christmas and Easter will be tortured for eternity in a lake of fire.

Amazing how congruent this is with Islam. Do you also ban crosses?

[editor-surveyor]

What you are calling “Christian” is very congruent with Islam.

Each is creating their own deity and gospel, disregarding Yeshua’s almost completely.

Yehova provided his feasts for eternity, and replacing them with man’s idea of what they should be will not please him.

His feasts provide knowledge of the future, needed for navigating through Satan’s maze. Man’s feasts blind one to the path Yehova has provided. That is the same for Islam, Catholicism, Shintoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and every other ism.

Seek out the narrow gate!

[Mrs. Don-o]

I would call these slanders against Christians, as well as slanders against Christ, except that you apparenty believe it's true: that Christ would be so pi**ed off at people who celebrate His Birth on Christmas and His Resurrection on Easter, that He'd want to torture them for eternity.

Repugnant. Grotesque. But that's your 'christ', and welcome to it.

[editor-surveyor]

Christmas is a slander against Yehova who sent his Son at Succot to die for our sins. The same for Easter, the worship of the “goddess,” being placed before the Passover that Yehova provided to celebrate his son’s sacrifice.

Men’s replacement feasts are worse than Islam, Buddha, or Hindu, and are a stench in Yehova’s nostrils.

Yeshua wasn’t resurrected at Easter, he rose at the end of the 3rd day, at sunset, hours before the pagan Sunday.

Repugnant and grotesque fail to adequately describe your “church’s” false worship. The wide gate is the only thing it will fit through.
