Its an old story , Satan only has few weapons at his disposal,
Deception is one of his most effective, Humans have a natural desire to
reach out to God, If Satan can get people to believe they are saved
when they are not…. He does not have to worry about them. One of his
biggest Victories was the Creation of a substitute church in the 3rd
Century,
I do have one question, If you know the Jesuit University is teaching
in error why do you attend school there? Why not one of our Apostolic
Bible Schools?
I realize I am likely to open a big can of worms but let me put out a
thought
In Gal. 1:8 the Bible teaches us that we are to let any man who teaches
other than the Apostolic Doctrine be accursed
We know that a preacher preaching a false doctrine is cursed, What
about supporting them, In doing so we help to spread there Doctrines.
Would we share in there curse as Well?
How can we give support?
1. Offerings, (If you drop a dollar in an offering plate,
2. send a check to a radio preacher, (like Dobson Focus on the Family)
While men Like this do have some good things to say they also
teach
false Doctrines ( we cannot support them!)
3. Donate food, Clothing, $ to religious Help Organizations (Salvation
Army,
Rescue missions etc.
4. Contributing to fund raisers of Denominations outside the truth,
(Kids with candy so they can go to camp, Youth car washes,
Rummage sales, etc.
5. What about going to one of there schools, Doubly questionable!
1. you give Financial Support (Your tuition.)
2. You expose yourself to the false teaching. (you cant help
absorbing some of it. :o) )
Sound a little fanatical? Don’t forget that the devil uses False
Teachers and Preachers to spread his lies, Don’t Help him!
