Isaiah 65:1-16 (ASV)
Just as National Israel apostasized and lost their place as Jehovah's chosen people (verse 15), today's professing Christian churches who violate the Royal law by offering profane sacrifices (sunday worship) and the eating of swine and abominable things (verses 3 and 4) will lose their lampstands. Jehovah is loving and patient and does have many in the professing churches of Christendom who will come out of Babylon (false religion). As the churches of Christendom lose their place as Jehovah's people, the remnant will inherit the Holy heavenly Zion (verse 9).
Verse 1 is a picture of the gentiles conversion to the God of the Bible who along with believing Jews would become a holy nation of priests and kings. They initially were not a people called by Jehovah, but became one as they accepted the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. National Israel would lose it's place as Jehovah's chosen people and the Gentile and Jewish Christians would be granted this honor as they accepted Jesus Christ as their King and Saviour. Today's professing churches risk losing their place as Jehovah's chosen people due to worshipping Him in their own ways and not according to truth.
Verse 2, we see that Jehovah was desiring the repentance of national Israel but they were a rebellious people who walked after their own ways. Such is the state of the professing churches of Christendom. They worship according to the creeds of man and not the word of God. They trample underfoot the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th commandments. Jehovah's desire is for the repentance of nominal Christians, however as the valley of decision approaches the time for repentance is running out.
In verse 3, just as the Israelites worshipped in their own ways with common sacrifices, the professing churches of Christendom offer profane worship upon an idolatrous altar. These profane sacrifices are rock music, Babylonian tongue speaking, impartation, slaying in the spirit etc. The idolatrous altars are the church buildings that are inundated with glass stained windows of a long straight haired soft featured Jesus with sun discs around his head, "IHS" symbol, tri quetras symbolic of a 3 headed god and to top it off, gathering on a Sunday as a holy day. In these gatherings, Jehovah's law is cast to the ground and at times even spoken evil of.
Verse 4 shows the disregard for clean meat laws. Today professing Christians are wanton in their disregard for the temple of God (their bodies) as gluttony runs rampant in the churches yet spoken evil of is wine, drugs, fornication and homosexuality. They pollute their vessels, which are supposed to be the Temple of the Holy Spirit, with the most vile delicacies.
In verse 5, we see that the apostates love to profess holiness all the while breaking the commandments of Jehovah brazenly thinking they are in the right to do so.
In verse 6, we see that Jehovah through Christ Jesus will recompense the law breaker as every man will be judged according to his works. The perfect and unchangeable law of Jehovah will be the standard by which works will be judged. Jesus brings our rewards with him and these rewards are according to whether we did his and his Father's commandments (Revelation 11:18-19, Revelation 22:14).
In verse 7, we see that Jehovah will not let the teaching and breaking of His commandments go unpunished. The false and profane worship of many of today's churches will be remembered in the judgment of the great whore and her harlot daughters (Roman, apostate Protestant and evangelical churches). Jesus will say to the teacher that taught the breaking of His Father's law "away from me"!. Those who were given light of Jehovah's law but refused it will be told the same thing.
Verse 8, Jehovah will preserve His faithful remnant even when they are among the tares and for their sake will not destroy the cluster until he delivers the remnant which are the new wine.
Verse 9 and 10, the faithful remnant who is the seed of Israel will inherit the Holy mountain of Zion and dwell there forever.
Verse 11, just as National Israel forsook Jehovah's Holy Mountain and instead offered profane worship today's Babylonian churches have done the same by worshipping according to man's tradition rather than the tables of the testimony. Commandments 1,2,3 and 4 are violated by the Great Whore (RCC) and her harlot daughters (apostate Protestantism and Evangelicalism).
The fate of the Babylonian churches is stated in verses 12-15. They will be destroyed at the coming of Jesus Christ who is the salvation of Jehovah. Why do they get destroyed? Because they have not heeded the call to repentance and worship Jehovah in spirit (no idolatry-false ideas of God) and in truth (according to the word of God by keeping the sabbath holy). Jehovah's remnant will be fed and filled with living waters in the paradise earth as the Babylonian churches will find themselves wanting.
The 144,000 and the redeemed of all time will rejoice and have every tear wiped away in the heavenly Jerusalem but the false churches of Christendom will weep and howl for the miseries that will come upon them at their judgment (at the coming of Christ and the Lake of Fire judgment) - verse 13 and 14.
In verse 15, we see that the Babylonian churches of Christendom become a by word to the remnant. These false idolatrous churches will be destroyed prior to and at the second advent. Jehovah's servants will be called by another name (the faithful remnant who keep the commandments of God) and not that of Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters who have breached Jehovah's law and taught others to do so. Catholics, Protestants and Evangelicals Jehovah's servants will not be called, but rather they will be called the faithful few who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
Verse 16, Jehovah's remnant will speak according to the law and the testimony while on earth and love the truth of His word. It will be these loyal followers of Jehovah that will receive the blessings of eternity in heavenly Canaan. Our former troubles will be forgotten as the new earth and new heavens (this earth made new) are created for us.
Isaiah 65:1-16 (ASV)
1 I am inquired of by them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3 a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;
4 that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom,
7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 But ye that forsake Jehovah, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny;
12 I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame;
14 behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; and the Lord Jehovah will slay thee; and he will call his servants by another name:
16 so that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

The Jesus of the Bible!
This passage of scripture below is powerful, for one it destroys any teaching that takes away Jesus identity as the Christ (anointed one) and clearly identifies Jesus as "the Son of the living God". Jesus here states that it is this knowledge, that the Christian Congregation will be built upon (Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God). When someone tells you that the foundation of Christianity is that Jesus is Almighty God and/or that he is part of a co equal, co eternal Trinity they are actually not in agreement with our Saviour's own words. The foundation of Christianity is that Jesus is who he says he is, which is the Christ (anointed one) and the Son of the living God (Jehovah).
I will breakdown this passage below:
Matthew 16:13-20 (KJV)
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
In verse 13, we see that Jesus asks the question "whom do men say that I the Son of man am?", after being given a few answers in verse 14 Jesus reiterates the question in verse 15.
Very important!!! The next few verse are key in understanding the identity of Christ and the foundation of Christianity!
In verse 16, Peter gives an answer "Thou art the Christ (anointed one), the Son of the living God." Notice he didn't say "thou art Jesus the Almighty God". His identification of Jesus was as the anointed one of God (Jehovah) and the Son of God (Jehovah).
We are told constantly by the pulpit preachers and theologians in Christendom, that in order to have salvation you must believe that Jesus is Almighty God and that you have to believe in the trinity doctrine. This is one of Satan's biggest deceptions!!!!!
If Peter was wrong Jesus would have told him and clarified that he was in fact the Almighty God. Let's look at Jesus response to Peter:
In verse 17, Jesus tells Peter that flesh and blood didn't reveal the truth that He (Jesus) was the Christ (anointed one) and the Son of the living God, but it was Jehovah in heaven as Jesus Father who revealed this to Peter.
See, only God the Father can reveal to us the truth about who His Son Jesus is. The flesh will come up with all kinds of fanciful theories and try to say Jesus is someone else such as a co equal, co eternal member of a trinity god and that he is the Almighty God. If you do research on the development of the trinity doctrine, you will see that this was a doctrine of man (the flesh). The Holy Spirit which proceeds from the Father Jehovah tells us the truth about who Jesus is. The vain philosophies of man pervert Jesus identity and personality.
Are you gonna believe what Jesus said about himself or what the grevious wolves (those who pushed the start of the trinity doctrine) at Nicaea said about him in 325 AD? Remember, it was an idolatrous pagan named Constantine who presided over this council. Athanasius, who was from the allegorizing Alexandrian school of theology, was corrupted with greek philosophy and polluted the Church with it, was the main promoter at Nicea of this start of the trinity doctrine. The flesh tells us that Jesus is a member of a trinity god or he himself is the Almighty God. But our Father in heaven, through the Holy Spirit, tells us that Jesus is His dear Son and His annointed one.
In verse 18, Jesus tells Peter that upon this rock (Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God) that he will build His (Jesus) Congregation. Now of course, the Roman Church has claimed this verse to mean that the rock here is referring to Peter however that is absolutely not true. The greek word for rock here is "petra" (strongs 4073) and it simply means "rock", it's the feminine of Petros (strongs 4074) which also means rock. Now some would say this proves that the Christian Congregation is built upon Peter as it is Petros (strongs 4074) that is the greek word for Peter's name. Remember that the rock Jesus spoke of was the word "Petra" not "Petros" so our Saviour made a clear distinction that he was talking of himself not Peter as the "rock". Remember, it is the Jesus that is the rock of our salvation as the author and finisher of our faith.
1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV)
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:20 (KJV)
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
1 Peter 2:4-7 (KJV)
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1 Corinthians 10:1-4 (KJV)
10 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Back to verse 18 in Matthew 16, the beautiful news is that Jesus said the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Christian Congregation, that is built on the knowledge of himself as the Christ and the Son of God. Did you know brethren, that more Christians than ever, since the days of the wilderness Congregation are coming to the knowledge of Jesus being God's literal Son? This fulfills Jesus words that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against" his Congregation. It's this Congregation, that has the accurate knowledge of who Jesus really is (the annointed one of the One true God and the Son of the One true God) that will endure to the end and be sealed in these last days and prevail against the gates of hell. You can be part of this Congregation too by humbling yourself to learn in the scriptures about who Jesus said he was rather than the what the theologians and pulpit preachers of Christendom say he is.
In verse 19 of Matthew 16, Jesus said that His Congregation that is built upon the rock (Jesus as the Christ and Son of God) will be given the keys to the kingdom of heaven. See brethren, the Roman Church has never had the keys to the kingdom of heaven as they have preached another Jesus and have perverted his identity and personality. Rome's daughters unfortunately have followed in her footsteps in this matter, although Jehovah has used them being that he is a God of mercy and winks at their ignorance. However in these last days, Jehovah is calling all men to repentance (Acts 17:30). Come out Babylon and stop drinking her false wine (Revelation 18:4). Give up the doctrines of man and worship Jehovah in spirit and in truth! The trinity doctrine will be a test in these last days, as the 144,000 last days remnant will not have any spot or wrinkle in their worship of the Lord God Almighty Jehovah! They will not be defiled with women (false Babylonian churches) by drinking their wine (false doctrines including the trinity).
In verse 20 of Matthew 16, Jesus charges the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the "Christ" meaning annointed one of Jehovah. Notice, that Jesus didn't tell them he was "the Almighty God" or a co equal, co eternal member of a trinity god but rather the "Christ". Why have men twisted Jesus plain words? I leave you with the below passage to understand the root of any doctrine that denies Jesus as the Christ (annointed one of God) and the literal Son of His Father Jehovah.
1 John 2:18-26 (KJV)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
I will breakdown this passage below:
Matthew 16:13-20 (KJV)
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

Rome's daughters unfortunately have followed in her footsteps in this matter, although Jehovah has used them being that he is a God of mercy and winks at their ignorance. However in these last days, Jehovah is calling all men to repentance (Acts 17:30). Come out Babylon and stop drinking her false wine (Revelation 18:4). Give up the doctrines of man and worship Jehovah in spirit and in truth! The trinity doctrine will be a test in these last days, as the 144,000 last days remnant will not have any spot or wrinkle in their worship of the Lord God Almighty Jehovah! They will not be defiled with women (false Babylonian churches) by drinking their wine (false doctrines including the trinity).
In verse 20 of Matthew 16, Jesus charges the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the "Christ" meaning annointed one of Jehovah. Notice, that Jesus didn't tell them he was "the Almighty God" or a co equal, co eternal member of a trinity god but rather the "Christ". Why have men twisted Jesus plain words? I leave you with the below passage to understand the root of any doctrine that denies Jesus as the Christ (annointed one of God) and the literal Son of His Father Jehovah.
1 John 2:18-26 (KJV)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
Denominationalism is a Snare!
I think most believers in Christ will agree that no denomination can save you. Only Christ Jesus can save us and reconcile us unto his Father Jehovah. However, did you know that while no denomination can save you, they can sure lead you to destruction?
While Jehovah certainly used many denominations to bring the truth about Christ to the world, the glory always goes to Him not the denomination itself or the men or women in them. Many have an undying loyalty to their denomination and it is this mindset that will cause them to go down with the Titanic! Why do I say this? Because we are living in a time where most of the denominations of Christendom are participating in the worldwide ecumenical movement led by the Papacy.
While many sincere Christians are in these denominations, the men who lead them and are participating in this satanic ecumenical movement are playing the role of the judas goat. Do you know what the Judas Goat does in real life? He leads the other sheep up the ramp of the truck as they are blindly following the Judas Goat. That very truck that will deliver the sheep to their slaughter. These Judas Goats convince their sheep to put their trust in them and that they have their bests interests at heart. Instead of being Bereans these sheep put their trust in the flesh of man.
How do you know that your denomination is headed down the road to destruction?
Are they in any way working with or part of the United Nations?
Are they in any way cooperating and having unity with Rome?
Are they part of the World Council of Churches?
The above associations are dead give aways that a denomination has yoked itself with the works of darkness violating the below scripture:
Ephesians 5:11 (KJV)
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Many denominations seek these ungodly associations because of their desire to be accepted by the world and because of their love of the world and wanting the material benefits of being part of these organizations. What does the word say about this?
1 John 2:15 (KJV)
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Also, denominationalism has caused division in the body of Christ whereas in scripture we are told:
Ephesians 4:3-6 (KJV)
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
It must be said that this unity must be based in sound doctrine. That means no Babylonian doctrines allowed! Sound doctrine is independent of the creeds formulated by man, especially those that came from counterfeit church in Rome. Man made doctrines like the trinity, never ending hell fire, sunday keeping, unbiblical tongues, immortal soul, cross adoration or really any images, pagan holidays have no place in the Congregation of Jehovah. These pagan practices all came from Ancient Babylon of Nimrod fame and were adopted by the Catholic Church starting in 312 AD and passed down to much of Christianity and the world as a whole. The Great Whore having made the earth drink the wine (false doctrines) of her fornication (spiritual). The unity of the body of Christ must be based on Apostolic Christianity of which Jerusalem was the mother of all churches not Rome.
Another trap for denominations is the 501 C 3 tax exempt status. Why is this? Because in order to get a 501 C 3 tax exemption, churches have to agree to certain things that violate scripture. For example, oath taking as part of the 501 C 3 churches have to agree not to preach about certain subjects.
Matthew 5:34-37 (KJV)
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
When Denominational leaders agree to the 501 C 3 mandates they have failed to follow the example of Peter and the apostles.
Acts 5:29 (KJV)
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
The 501 C 3 agreement says churches can't engage in hate speech or political issues. While on the surface, it would make sense that churches wouldn't preach hate or get involved in political affairs, it is a slippery slope as these two things can be interpreted in many ways by whoever is monitoring what the churches preach.
For example, speaking against homosexuality is being labeled hate speech these days, hence if a pastor speaks against it from the pulpit his church can be dinged by the IRS for hate speech. This is already happening and some churches have been threatened that their tax exempt status can be revoked of they don't cease preaching against homosexuality.
Do you ever wonder why all of a sudden very preachers and churches teach against homosexuality anymore? Do you think it's because they have a sudden change of heart? For some, yes! For others though it could be that they are afraid of losing their tax exempt status which means losing $$$$$. They have become lovers of money more than lovers of God.
2 Timothy 3:1-2 (ASV)
1 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV)
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Do you see the above scripture? These pastors and denominational leaders who have chosen the love of this world and money over the truth of Jehovah's word have erred from the faith and have pierced themselves with many sorrows. At one time, preaching against homosexuality was acceptable as it fit the mainstream sensibilities of society. As homosexuality has not only become accepted but celebrated, it has been deemed hate speech to speak a word against it.
Now concerning politics, I do not think a church should get involved in political parties or advocating for a candidate. This is part of the 501 C 3 tax exemption agreement. Nonetheless, we as the body of Christ are not to allow the government to dictate what we preach on. Also, this is another slippery slope. Remember this part of the agreement can be used to come against those churches that teach prophecy and how the government's of this world are part of this Beast system of the last days. If the churches allow the government to silence them on this matter, then it effectively kills prophetic ministry. The church can talk all it wants about prophecy but unless it can name the players in it, then sheep will be in the dark.
Also the 501 3 C violates the separation of Church and State as Jesus taught.
Mark 12:17 (KJV)
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
In order to stay free from unbiblical associations, churches as a small price to pay should be willing to give Caesar taxes.
Unfortunately, instead of warning about the role governments will play in the persecution of the saints, the churches all too often endorse political candidates based on their own prejudices and fears. All a candidate has to do is say they are "Christian", much like the pagan emperor Constantine and the churches fall in love with them. See George Bush and Ronald Reagan for an example. These denominations are violating scripture by getting entangled in the affairs of this life and also causing their members to do the same:
2 Timothy 2:3-5 (KJV)
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
We are to be soldiers of Christ not of this world. A true soldier of Christ does entangle himself or herself in the corrupt world of politics. Just as a soldier of any army is not to concern himself with the matters back home as it would distract him from the task at hand. Christian denominations have even gone so far as to endorse and promote wars and even Christians fighting in them. This is a clear violation of what our Saviour Jesus taught.
John 18:36 (KJV)
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Matthew 26:52 (KJV)
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Matthew 5:43-48 (KJV)
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
These advocates of war and Christians fighting in them, fail to teach their congregants Stephen's example wjen he was stoned.
Acts 7:54-60 (KJV)
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
These promoters of war, whether they be pastors, theologians, denominational leaders, chaplains will answer to Jehovah God Almighty if they don't repent. Look at this sobering passage below:
Revelation 11:17-19 (KJV)
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Yes war destroys the earth, can you imagine how many unbelievers were killed in our campaigns in Iraq? Many may have never had the chance to hear about our Lord Jesus Christ. You don't think Jehovah is mindful of these ones who were destroyed by so called Christians that promoted this war in Iraq? It's one thing for unbelievers to go to war and follow the orders of their government and we should pray for them and our leaders but to take part in it by killing is against what Jesus taught on how Christians were to love their enemy and that his Kingdom was not of this world.
You can either have a blind loyalty to your denomination or follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth! Following your denomination blindly will cause you to worship and take the mark of the beast thereby setting an appointment in the Lake of Fire for annihilation, whereas following the Lamb will grant you entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven (New Jerusalem) and the earth made new (Paradise).
Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV)
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
While Jehovah certainly used many denominations to bring the truth about Christ to the world, the glory always goes to Him not the denomination itself or the men or women in them.

The doctrine of antichrist!
The Mark of the beast isn't simply about the day we worship. As a matter of fact, focusing simply on the day will lead to a great deception in mainline Sabbath keeping denominations. More important than Sunday is what god inspired this false sabbath. Besides the mark of the beast, there is the number of the beast which is 666 the number of man. There is also the name of the beast which amazingly doesn't get talked about much. Having any of the three will destine someone to the Lake of Fire. The number of Jehovah is 7 (perfection) and his seal is the Sabbath. We know from scripture that those who have the Seal of God will have the Father's name (Jehovah) written in their foreheads.
Notice that there isn't a trinity written in the foreheads of the 144,000 but just the Father's name.
Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV)
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
The Lamb (Jesus Christ) is with the 144,000 on the heavenly Mount Zion and these faithful ones have his Father's name written in their foreheads. Again, they don't have a trinity written on their foreheads. They don't have the name "God the Holy Spirit" or even "God the Son" written on theirforeheads or "Holy Trinity" but simply the Father's (Jehovah) name. Remember the Father's name Jehovah is in his Son Jehoshua (Jesus), which means "the salvation of Jehovah".
A seal denotes ownership. According to ancient and modern governing authorities a seal or mark of ownership must bear three distinct features.
1. The name of the official.
2. The title of the official.
3. The territory of the official.
When we look at the 10 commandments we find the seal of Jehovah in His 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day as Holy.
Exodus 20:11 (ASV)
11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
His name= Jehovah
His Title and number= Creator (Note that "Jehovah made" in the above scripture) and rested on the 7th day after his work of creation (7=perfection).
His territory= Heaven, Earth and Sea noted in scripture above.
Let's now look at the mark of the beast and his name, title and number 666 and his mark of authority. Remember Antichrist means against or in place of Christ.
His name=Blasphemy
His title and number = Antichrist/Papacy, Vicar of Christ (VICARIVS FILII DEI = 666 the number of man).
His territory= Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters.
It is also important to note that this Antichrist led, false Roman church claims a mark of authority, read a quote below from the Catholic record of London, Ontario.

Daniel 7:25 (KJV)
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The name of the beast = Blasphemy
Revelation 13:1 (KJV)
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
This beast has names of blasphemy which is speaking evil against God (Jehovah). Taking worship away from the One true God is a form of blasphemy.
Revelation 17:3 (KJV)
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The woman here is the false religious Babylonian system (The Great Whore-Roman Catholicism and her harlot daughters- apostate Protestantism and Evangelicalism along with all false religions). This woman is full of names of blasphemy. Again, blasphemy is speaking evil against God Almighty Jehovah. Any religious practices or beliefs that take away worship from the Father Jehovah is blasphemy.

The sealing of the 144,000
Revelation 7:1-3 (KJV)
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Ezekiel 9:1-11 (ASV)
1 Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side.
4 And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;
6 slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wrestling of judgment: for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah seeth not.
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
11 And behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
In order to be sealed by Jehovah's angels in these last days, we must sigh and cry over the abominations done in our midst. These abominations are being done by many who profess to be Christians. These abominations are spiritual in nature meaning false worship and pagan practices. If you don't believe me read this from Revelation 14:
Revelation 14:8 (KJV)
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Babylon is comprised of Roman Catholicism and apostate Protestantism and Evangelicalism along with all false religions. The wine spoken of is false doctrines which originated in ancient Babylon and have been promoted since 312 AD by Spiritual Babylon (Roman Catholicism) and these doctrines have made all the nations drunk. Most of Protestantism and Evangelicalism propagate the Roman Church's false doctrines to their congregants and the unbelieving world. That's why they are called the harlot daughters of Mystery Babylon (Roman Catholicism). Variations of the Roman church's poisonous wine can be found in most if not all the religions of the world.
The false Church system in the last days will refuse to let go of these blasphemous doctrines which will then mark them as the property of the beast. Sunday sacredness is at center of this, but there is something even more sinister and it affects the professing Christian churches in the Protestant/Evangelical world. Let's look at what will be the requirement to be part of Jehovah's last days remnant Christian Congregation:
Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV)
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
As we saw above when I went over verse 1 of this passage the 144,000 remant have the Father's name (Jehovah) in their foreheads. I want to highlight verse 4 and 5, in order to be among the 144,000 remnant Congregation of the last days you will not be allowed to defile yourself with women.
As many know, a woman in bible prophecy represents a church, whether a true church or a false church. The 144,000 will not in any way defile themselves with the false doctrines of prostitute churches. The bible says they are virgins meaning spiritually pure. They will not have fellowship with the Whore church or her daughters thereby not defiling themselves with women. They will also have none of the false doctrines of these churches which includes the Trinity. The 144,000 will worship the One true God Jehovah through His only-born Son Jesus Christ.
In verse 5 of this passage, we see that the 144,000 have excellent character. The6 speak truth and are without fault before Jehovah's throne. How is this? It's simple, they keep the 10 Commandments! They are not law breakers nor do they use graceas a license to sin sndnlive how they want and yet claim they are still saved.
The mark of the beast vs. The seal of Jehovah. This will be the final valley of decision for those who dwell on the earth. The Seventh-day Sabbath of Jehovah and the First day of the week, the alleged "Lord's day" will be a central theme in this decision, however it does go deeper than just the day we decide to worship. Taking mark of the beast or the seal of God also has to do with who we worship. Will you worship the God of the Bible or will you worship the god of Rome (Babylon)? You make the call! We are left with a loud warning from heaven:
Revelation 18:4 (KJV)
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Coming out from Babylon is vital in these last days. However, coming out of Babylon isn't just leaving the institutions that comprise Babylon, but also it's false doctrines. What is the primary doctrine of antichrist? Let's look at 1 John 2:18-26 to see:
1 John 2:18-26 (KJV)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
In verse 18, John warns that were many antichrists around even in his time. He took this as a sign of the last days. Further down the passage he will explain what is antichrist. In verse 19, John says that these antichrists went out from among them that they might be exposed. Did you hear that? These antichrist were among the Christians! Do you hear that being taught today in the pulpits of America? For the most part NO! These men will tell you that the antichrist is from Islam or some future political figure or perhaps some new age guru. Do you notice that they always point away from the institutional Church? It is Satan's plan to have Christians look away from the institutional church system for antichrist. While many if not most Christians are sincere in their faith, there are corrupt men destitute of heart who have perverted the doctrine of Christ which makes them antichrist. These men are in the professing Church! These are the theologians of Christendom and some are even pastors. Not all theologians have the spirit of antichrist but there are many. Why am I pointing a finger at the theologians and even some pastors? Because as teachers they are held to a higher accountability. Rather than teaching the simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His Sonship, they have perverted the gospel and have taught that God is a mystery and is made up of 3 self existent, co eternal and co equal beings. They are responsible as teachers. These men make a nice living off the gospel and have the resources via books that detail the history and formation of the trinity and the time to parse out the meaning of words in the bible to get the doctrine of Christ right. These are the men Jesus spoke of in Matthew 5:19:
Matthew 5:19 (KJV)
19 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.
These theologians and pulpit preachers who are teaching sincere Christians to break the first commandment will be called least in the kingdom of God. Some of these theologians and pulpit preachers are sincere who have been deceived by the more learned men of Christendom and Jehovah has mercy for them and winks at their ignorance (Acts 17:30).
Where does this leave the everyday church goer that leans on the theologians and pulpit preachers for their understanding of the bible? Again, Jehovah has mercy for them and winks at their ignorance. However, these sincere Christians, whether teachers or the everyday church goer are not without fault. Why do I say this? Because scripture is clear that we are to put our trust in no man and call man Father or teacher. The bible clearly says that it is the Holy Spirit that leads us to all truth. Acts 17:10-11 says we are to be like bereans and search the scriptures to see if what we are being told by our teachers is true.
Acts 17:10-11 (KJV)
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Many if not most professing christians today fail to measure the words of their pastor and popular theologians to the clear word of God and simply trust in these men and are impressed with their worldly credentials and titles. The Bereans were more noble than most Christians are today. There simply is no excuse! Part of this is an almost idolatrous view of their leaders and celebrity Christian preachers. The other problem is that most professing christians are in love with the world and give little study to the word of God. Pride is the third factor that prevents many Christians from coming to the truth of God and His Son. Many see the weight of evidence in scripture but refuse to acknowledge or study it deeply due to not wanting to admit they may have been wrong the whole time they have been a Christian.
The Holy Spirit will never contradict the clear word of God!
John 16:13 (KJV)
13 However when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak from Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come.
Back to 1 John chapter 2
In verse 19, John says these antichrists went out from among them that they may be manifest so that the brethren would clearly see that these men were not their brethren. John even said that these antichrists would have stayed among the brethren if they had been true. The Christian Congregation at this time was far more pure than we see today, so anyone bringing in false doctrine would have been easily noticed and would not have been put up with hence they almost had no choice but to leave. In today's Christian Congregations, so much pollution has entered in that these modern antichrists blend in easily. Not only do they blend in but they are welcomed and embraced rather than disciplined. Such is the condition of today's lukewarm Congregations.
In verse 20 of 1 John 2, the brethren are reminded that they have an unction from the Holy One and know all things. Remember it's the Holy Spirit that guides us unto all truth not man.
In verse 21, John says to the brethren that they know the truth and also says that No LIE is of the truth! See brethren, it doesn't matter how popular or how ingrained a lie is, if it doesn't match up with scripture it is NOT the truth! And John says no lie is of the truth even if that lie has some truth in it. Many brethen died at the stake going against what the majority believed was the truth but in fact was a lie. They were going against the popular view and often stood alone. History has been a witness to these brethren, that though they may have been the only one in their time or place that believed the doctrines of Rome were false, that they were in fact right and the rest of Christendom wrong. Are you willing to take the same kind of stand today? It's easy to romanticize the reformers and their predecessors but what about you? Do you love truth or would you rather stay comfortable in the lie because the majority believes it?
In verse 22 of 1 John 2, this right here is the key verse I wanted to touch on in this passage. Notice here, it says that those who deny Jesus as being the Christ (anointed one of Jehovah). It doesn't say whoever denies Jesus as Almighty God as trinitarian's would try say but whoever denies him as the Messiah. Two different things. This is key, because trinitarian's are ingrained to think that by denying Jesus as Almighty God you don't have salvation but the word of God never says that. They can't one verse that backs up their claim. When they try to scare you with that tactic give them this verse here in 1 John 2.
This passage above is a stern warning to those who would pervert the relationship of Jesus with His Father Jehovah thereby denying that relationship. Also denying Jesus as the annointed one of Jehovah brings serious implications. Look at verse 21 where John says "that no lie is of the truth", that means that no matter how good and how close to the truth a lie sounds it is not the truth! Never go by what the majority believe as that is a poor gauge for establishing truth. Remember, the Roman Catholic Church system for thousands of years was the primary representation of Christianity yet most of their doctrines were utterly false and measured up to the clear Word of God fell wanting. There were very few Christians outside this system until the Reformation of the 1500's, yet this very small remnant had far more truth than the massive numbers that were in the Roman Church.
In verse 23, we see that by denying the Son we then don't have the Father who is the One true God. There is more than one way to deny the Son and that is by saying he is not a real Son. There are those today in Christendom who say the Father/Son relationship between Jesus and Jehovah is a metaphor and not to be taken literally. They also say that these are just titles and roles that Jehovah and Jesus took upon themselves when the plan of redemption was instituted. They say that Jesus only became the Son at the incarnation, however if this is true and they believe that the Holy Spirit is God then wouldn't the Holy Spirit be Jesus Father instead of Jehovah? Again, the implications of believing and practicing the trinity doctrine are serious, many sincere Christians are denying the literal Father/Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah. What does 1 John 2:22 say about this? It's an antichrist doctrine! Without acknowledging that Jesus is indeed the literal Son of God you then also deny His Father Jehovah who is the One true God. Indeed, a scary position to be in.
Look at verse 24 of 1 John 2, John tells the brethen that they are to abide in the doctrine that they were taught from the beginning. What was this doctrine? We'll it was the doctrine of the apostles which at it's core was that Jesus was the Son of the One true God Jehovah and that they had a Father/Son relationship. John 3:16 was the heart of this message:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
John tells the brethen that if the truth that they have learned from the beginning remains in them that they will continue in the Son, and in the Father. Notice the word "if" inferring that a departure from this truth means that they won't continue in the Son and the Father thereby denying them which is antichrist. Unfortunately most of Christendom has departed from the simplicity of this truth which is that Jesus is Jehovah's literal Son. Instead, they have bought into the lies of the Papacy and Mystery Babylon that God is a trinity and all three members are self existent, co eternal and co equal. This is outright polytheism!! Yet the Trinitarian's try to get out of the polytheism charge by saying all 3 are somehow inexplicably One. This is utter paganism and destroys Jehovah's and His Son Jesus personality. It also adds a third being who is God which further confuses the matter.
Strongs 897 Greek- Babulon is rendered Babylon in English and means "Confusion". Allegorically, of Rome as the most corrupt seat of idolatry and the enemy of Christianity.
Strongs 894 Hebrew- Babel is rendered Babylon in English and means "Confusion (by mixing)".
Christians fail to pick up on the clues that the trinity doctrine, which is confusing even by the admission of many trinitarian's, comes not from God's word but from Babylon itself. First, a Christian has to come to the realization that the trinity doctrine is confusing which is easy to get them to admit. Secondly, they need to see what the word "Confusion" means and that means "Babylon/Babel". Third of all, they need to come to the understanding of who Mystery Babylon is and that it is Roman Catholicism led by the antichrist papacy. They will see that Babylon was allegorically to be understood as Rome the capital of idolatry. The most important part of this will be for them to research where and when this trinity doctrine officially came into the "Church". They will see it was formulated in the Roman Church system a full 350 years after Christ death and ressurection. They will have to then acknowledge that the confusing trinity doctrine comes from the very Church system known for its idolatry and it's spiritual name means "Confusion". After this direct them to the below qoute from the Catholic Church and also the below scripture about Jehovah:
Catechism of the Catholic Church:
234 The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the "hierarchy of the truths of faith".56 The whole history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin".
237 The Trinity is a mystery of faith in the strict sense, one of the "mysteries that are hidden in God, which can never be known unless they are revealed by God".58 To be sure, God has left traces of his Trinitarian being in his work of creation and in his Revelation throughout the Old Testament. But his inmost Being as Holy Trinity is a mystery that is inaccessible to reason alone or even to Israel's faith before the Incarnation of God's Son and the sending of the Holy Spirit.
Look at the above where they say that the trinity who is supposed to be God was inaccessible to Israel. They call Jesus a liar who said the exact opposite:
John 4:22 (KJV)
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
The Jews knew exactly who their God was and along with Jesus said that God was "ONE" not 3 in one. In fact, this was one of the very few points that Jesus and the religious leaders agreed upon and even complimented each other on. Read the below passage as Jesus quotes the Shema and is commended by the scribe for saying God is "One" and the scribe is commended by Jesus for understanding that God is "One" and told he is not far from the kingdom of God:
Mark 12:28-34 (KJV)
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Look at this qoute:
The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.
They say that God is a mystery and we can't understand who he is. They acknowledge the trinity can be confusing. What does the bible say though:
1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
It is well documented that in 325 AD the genesis of the Trinity doctrine was being formulated by the Nicene Council and in 364 AD the Council of Laodicea changed the Sabbath to Sunday in honour of the “holy Trinity”- The Douay Catholic Catechism of 1649 states
“Q. What is Sunday, or the Lord's Day in general?
A. It is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honour of the most holy Trinity, and in memory that Christ our Lord arose from the dead upon Sunday, sent down the holy Ghost on a Sunday, &c. and therefore is called the Lord's Day. It is also called Sunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred.”
This is the God (verse 4) true followers of Christ worship:
Deuteronomy 6:1-25 (ASV)
1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;
2 that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:
5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
10 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full;
12 then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
15 for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers,
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
20 When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
21 then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes;
23 and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
25 And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
Notice that there isn't a trinity written in the foreheads of the 144,000 but just the Father's name.
Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV)
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
The Lamb (Jesus Christ) is with the 144,000 on the heavenly Mount Zion and these faithful ones have his Father's name written in their foreheads. Again, they don't have a trinity written on their foreheads. They don't have the name "God the Holy Spirit" or even "God the Son" written on theirforeheads or "Holy Trinity" but simply the Father's (Jehovah) name. Remember the Father's name Jehovah is in his Son Jehoshua (Jesus), which means "the salvation of Jehovah".
A seal denotes ownership. According to ancient and modern governing authorities a seal or mark of ownership must bear three distinct features.
1. The name of the official.
2. The title of the official.
3. The territory of the official.
When we look at the 10 commandments we find the seal of Jehovah in His 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day as Holy.
Exodus 20:11 (ASV)
11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
His name= Jehovah
His Title and number= Creator (Note that "Jehovah made" in the above scripture) and rested on the 7th day after his work of creation (7=perfection).
His territory= Heaven, Earth and Sea noted in scripture above.
Let's now look at the mark of the beast and his name, title and number 666 and his mark of authority. Remember Antichrist means against or in place of Christ.
His name=Blasphemy
His title and number = Antichrist/Papacy, Vicar of Christ (VICARIVS FILII DEI = 666 the number of man).
His territory= Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters.
It is also important to note that this Antichrist led, false Roman church claims a mark of authority, read a quote below from the Catholic record of London, Ontario.
"Sunday is our mark of authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923.
Daniel 7:25 (KJV)
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The name of the beast = Blasphemy
Revelation 13:1 (KJV)
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
This beast has names of blasphemy which is speaking evil against God (Jehovah). Taking worship away from the One true God is a form of blasphemy.
Revelation 17:3 (KJV)
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
The woman here is the false religious Babylonian system (The Great Whore-Roman Catholicism and her harlot daughters- apostate Protestantism and Evangelicalism along with all false religions). This woman is full of names of blasphemy. Again, blasphemy is speaking evil against God Almighty Jehovah. Any religious practices or beliefs that take away worship from the Father Jehovah is blasphemy.

The sealing of the 144,000
Revelation 7:1-3 (KJV)
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Ezekiel 9:1-11 (ASV)
1 Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side.
4 And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;
6 slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wrestling of judgment: for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah seeth not.
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
11 And behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
In order to be sealed by Jehovah's angels in these last days, we must sigh and cry over the abominations done in our midst. These abominations are being done by many who profess to be Christians. These abominations are spiritual in nature meaning false worship and pagan practices. If you don't believe me read this from Revelation 14:
Revelation 14:8 (KJV)
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Babylon is comprised of Roman Catholicism and apostate Protestantism and Evangelicalism along with all false religions. The wine spoken of is false doctrines which originated in ancient Babylon and have been promoted since 312 AD by Spiritual Babylon (Roman Catholicism) and these doctrines have made all the nations drunk. Most of Protestantism and Evangelicalism propagate the Roman Church's false doctrines to their congregants and the unbelieving world. That's why they are called the harlot daughters of Mystery Babylon (Roman Catholicism). Variations of the Roman church's poisonous wine can be found in most if not all the religions of the world.
The false Church system in the last days will refuse to let go of these blasphemous doctrines which will then mark them as the property of the beast. Sunday sacredness is at center of this, but there is something even more sinister and it affects the professing Christian churches in the Protestant/Evangelical world. Let's look at what will be the requirement to be part of Jehovah's last days remnant Christian Congregation:
Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV)
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
As we saw above when I went over verse 1 of this passage the 144,000 remant have the Father's name (Jehovah) in their foreheads. I want to highlight verse 4 and 5, in order to be among the 144,000 remnant Congregation of the last days you will not be allowed to defile yourself with women.
As many know, a woman in bible prophecy represents a church, whether a true church or a false church. The 144,000 will not in any way defile themselves with the false doctrines of prostitute churches. The bible says they are virgins meaning spiritually pure. They will not have fellowship with the Whore church or her daughters thereby not defiling themselves with women. They will also have none of the false doctrines of these churches which includes the Trinity. The 144,000 will worship the One true God Jehovah through His only-born Son Jesus Christ.
In verse 5 of this passage, we see that the 144,000 have excellent character. The6 speak truth and are without fault before Jehovah's throne. How is this? It's simple, they keep the 10 Commandments! They are not law breakers nor do they use graceas a license to sin sndnlive how they want and yet claim they are still saved.
The mark of the beast vs. The seal of Jehovah. This will be the final valley of decision for those who dwell on the earth. The Seventh-day Sabbath of Jehovah and the First day of the week, the alleged "Lord's day" will be a central theme in this decision, however it does go deeper than just the day we decide to worship. Taking mark of the beast or the seal of God also has to do with who we worship. Will you worship the God of the Bible or will you worship the god of Rome (Babylon)? You make the call! We are left with a loud warning from heaven:
Revelation 18:4 (KJV)
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Coming out from Babylon is vital in these last days. However, coming out of Babylon isn't just leaving the institutions that comprise Babylon, but also it's false doctrines. What is the primary doctrine of antichrist? Let's look at 1 John 2:18-26 to see:
1 John 2:18-26 (KJV)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
In verse 18, John warns that were many antichrists around even in his time. He took this as a sign of the last days. Further down the passage he will explain what is antichrist. In verse 19, John says that these antichrists went out from among them that they might be exposed. Did you hear that? These antichrist were among the Christians! Do you hear that being taught today in the pulpits of America? For the most part NO! These men will tell you that the antichrist is from Islam or some future political figure or perhaps some new age guru. Do you notice that they always point away from the institutional Church? It is Satan's plan to have Christians look away from the institutional church system for antichrist. While many if not most Christians are sincere in their faith, there are corrupt men destitute of heart who have perverted the doctrine of Christ which makes them antichrist. These men are in the professing Church! These are the theologians of Christendom and some are even pastors. Not all theologians have the spirit of antichrist but there are many. Why am I pointing a finger at the theologians and even some pastors? Because as teachers they are held to a higher accountability. Rather than teaching the simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His Sonship, they have perverted the gospel and have taught that God is a mystery and is made up of 3 self existent, co eternal and co equal beings. They are responsible as teachers. These men make a nice living off the gospel and have the resources via books that detail the history and formation of the trinity and the time to parse out the meaning of words in the bible to get the doctrine of Christ right. These are the men Jesus spoke of in Matthew 5:19:
Matthew 5:19 (KJV)
19 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.
These theologians and pulpit preachers who are teaching sincere Christians to break the first commandment will be called least in the kingdom of God. Some of these theologians and pulpit preachers are sincere who have been deceived by the more learned men of Christendom and Jehovah has mercy for them and winks at their ignorance (Acts 17:30).
Where does this leave the everyday church goer that leans on the theologians and pulpit preachers for their understanding of the bible? Again, Jehovah has mercy for them and winks at their ignorance. However, these sincere Christians, whether teachers or the everyday church goer are not without fault. Why do I say this? Because scripture is clear that we are to put our trust in no man and call man Father or teacher. The bible clearly says that it is the Holy Spirit that leads us to all truth. Acts 17:10-11 says we are to be like bereans and search the scriptures to see if what we are being told by our teachers is true.
Acts 17:10-11 (KJV)
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Many if not most professing christians today fail to measure the words of their pastor and popular theologians to the clear word of God and simply trust in these men and are impressed with their worldly credentials and titles. The Bereans were more noble than most Christians are today. There simply is no excuse! Part of this is an almost idolatrous view of their leaders and celebrity Christian preachers. The other problem is that most professing christians are in love with the world and give little study to the word of God. Pride is the third factor that prevents many Christians from coming to the truth of God and His Son. Many see the weight of evidence in scripture but refuse to acknowledge or study it deeply due to not wanting to admit they may have been wrong the whole time they have been a Christian.
The Holy Spirit will never contradict the clear word of God!
John 16:13 (KJV)
13 However when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak from Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come.
Back to 1 John chapter 2
In verse 19, John says these antichrists went out from among them that they may be manifest so that the brethren would clearly see that these men were not their brethren. John even said that these antichrists would have stayed among the brethren if they had been true. The Christian Congregation at this time was far more pure than we see today, so anyone bringing in false doctrine would have been easily noticed and would not have been put up with hence they almost had no choice but to leave. In today's Christian Congregations, so much pollution has entered in that these modern antichrists blend in easily. Not only do they blend in but they are welcomed and embraced rather than disciplined. Such is the condition of today's lukewarm Congregations.
In verse 20 of 1 John 2, the brethren are reminded that they have an unction from the Holy One and know all things. Remember it's the Holy Spirit that guides us unto all truth not man.
In verse 21, John says to the brethren that they know the truth and also says that No LIE is of the truth! See brethren, it doesn't matter how popular or how ingrained a lie is, if it doesn't match up with scripture it is NOT the truth! And John says no lie is of the truth even if that lie has some truth in it. Many brethen died at the stake going against what the majority believed was the truth but in fact was a lie. They were going against the popular view and often stood alone. History has been a witness to these brethren, that though they may have been the only one in their time or place that believed the doctrines of Rome were false, that they were in fact right and the rest of Christendom wrong. Are you willing to take the same kind of stand today? It's easy to romanticize the reformers and their predecessors but what about you? Do you love truth or would you rather stay comfortable in the lie because the majority believes it?
In verse 22 of 1 John 2, this right here is the key verse I wanted to touch on in this passage. Notice here, it says that those who deny Jesus as being the Christ (anointed one of Jehovah). It doesn't say whoever denies Jesus as Almighty God as trinitarian's would try say but whoever denies him as the Messiah. Two different things. This is key, because trinitarian's are ingrained to think that by denying Jesus as Almighty God you don't have salvation but the word of God never says that. They can't one verse that backs up their claim. When they try to scare you with that tactic give them this verse here in 1 John 2.
This passage above is a stern warning to those who would pervert the relationship of Jesus with His Father Jehovah thereby denying that relationship. Also denying Jesus as the annointed one of Jehovah brings serious implications. Look at verse 21 where John says "that no lie is of the truth", that means that no matter how good and how close to the truth a lie sounds it is not the truth! Never go by what the majority believe as that is a poor gauge for establishing truth. Remember, the Roman Catholic Church system for thousands of years was the primary representation of Christianity yet most of their doctrines were utterly false and measured up to the clear Word of God fell wanting. There were very few Christians outside this system until the Reformation of the 1500's, yet this very small remnant had far more truth than the massive numbers that were in the Roman Church.
In verse 23, we see that by denying the Son we then don't have the Father who is the One true God. There is more than one way to deny the Son and that is by saying he is not a real Son. There are those today in Christendom who say the Father/Son relationship between Jesus and Jehovah is a metaphor and not to be taken literally. They also say that these are just titles and roles that Jehovah and Jesus took upon themselves when the plan of redemption was instituted. They say that Jesus only became the Son at the incarnation, however if this is true and they believe that the Holy Spirit is God then wouldn't the Holy Spirit be Jesus Father instead of Jehovah? Again, the implications of believing and practicing the trinity doctrine are serious, many sincere Christians are denying the literal Father/Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah. What does 1 John 2:22 say about this? It's an antichrist doctrine! Without acknowledging that Jesus is indeed the literal Son of God you then also deny His Father Jehovah who is the One true God. Indeed, a scary position to be in.
Look at verse 24 of 1 John 2, John tells the brethen that they are to abide in the doctrine that they were taught from the beginning. What was this doctrine? We'll it was the doctrine of the apostles which at it's core was that Jesus was the Son of the One true God Jehovah and that they had a Father/Son relationship. John 3:16 was the heart of this message:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
John tells the brethen that if the truth that they have learned from the beginning remains in them that they will continue in the Son, and in the Father. Notice the word "if" inferring that a departure from this truth means that they won't continue in the Son and the Father thereby denying them which is antichrist. Unfortunately most of Christendom has departed from the simplicity of this truth which is that Jesus is Jehovah's literal Son. Instead, they have bought into the lies of the Papacy and Mystery Babylon that God is a trinity and all three members are self existent, co eternal and co equal. This is outright polytheism!! Yet the Trinitarian's try to get out of the polytheism charge by saying all 3 are somehow inexplicably One. This is utter paganism and destroys Jehovah's and His Son Jesus personality. It also adds a third being who is God which further confuses the matter.
Strongs 897 Greek- Babulon is rendered Babylon in English and means "Confusion". Allegorically, of Rome as the most corrupt seat of idolatry and the enemy of Christianity.
Strongs 894 Hebrew- Babel is rendered Babylon in English and means "Confusion (by mixing)".
Christians fail to pick up on the clues that the trinity doctrine, which is confusing even by the admission of many trinitarian's, comes not from God's word but from Babylon itself. First, a Christian has to come to the realization that the trinity doctrine is confusing which is easy to get them to admit. Secondly, they need to see what the word "Confusion" means and that means "Babylon/Babel". Third of all, they need to come to the understanding of who Mystery Babylon is and that it is Roman Catholicism led by the antichrist papacy. They will see that Babylon was allegorically to be understood as Rome the capital of idolatry. The most important part of this will be for them to research where and when this trinity doctrine officially came into the "Church". They will see it was formulated in the Roman Church system a full 350 years after Christ death and ressurection. They will have to then acknowledge that the confusing trinity doctrine comes from the very Church system known for its idolatry and it's spiritual name means "Confusion". After this direct them to the below qoute from the Catholic Church and also the below scripture about Jehovah:
Catechism of the Catholic Church:
234 The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the "hierarchy of the truths of faith".56 The whole history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin".
237 The Trinity is a mystery of faith in the strict sense, one of the "mysteries that are hidden in God, which can never be known unless they are revealed by God".58 To be sure, God has left traces of his Trinitarian being in his work of creation and in his Revelation throughout the Old Testament. But his inmost Being as Holy Trinity is a mystery that is inaccessible to reason alone or even to Israel's faith before the Incarnation of God's Son and the sending of the Holy Spirit.
Look at the above where they say that the trinity who is supposed to be God was inaccessible to Israel. They call Jesus a liar who said the exact opposite:
John 4:22 (KJV)
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
The Jews knew exactly who their God was and along with Jesus said that God was "ONE" not 3 in one. In fact, this was one of the very few points that Jesus and the religious leaders agreed upon and even complimented each other on. Read the below passage as Jesus quotes the Shema and is commended by the scribe for saying God is "One" and the scribe is commended by Jesus for understanding that God is "One" and told he is not far from the kingdom of God:
Mark 12:28-34 (KJV)
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Look at this qoute:
The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.
They say that God is a mystery and we can't understand who he is. They acknowledge the trinity can be confusing. What does the bible say though:
1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
It is well documented that in 325 AD the genesis of the Trinity doctrine was being formulated by the Nicene Council and in 364 AD the Council of Laodicea changed the Sabbath to Sunday in honour of the “holy Trinity”- The Douay Catholic Catechism of 1649 states
“Q. What is Sunday, or the Lord's Day in general?
A. It is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honour of the most holy Trinity, and in memory that Christ our Lord arose from the dead upon Sunday, sent down the holy Ghost on a Sunday, &c. and therefore is called the Lord's Day. It is also called Sunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred.”
This is the God (verse 4) true followers of Christ worship:
Deuteronomy 6:1-25 (ASV)
1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;
2 that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:
5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
10 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full;
12 then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
15 for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers,
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
20 When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
21 then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes;
23 and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
25 And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.

The Spirit of antichrist!
1 John 2:22 (KJV)
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Notice it doesn't say whoever denies Jesus as God Almighty but rather whoever denies him as Christ (anointed one of Jehovah) and whoever denies the literal Father/Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Notice it doesn't say whoever denies Jesus as God Almighty but rather whoever denies him as Christ (anointed one of Jehovah) and whoever denies the literal Father/Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah.

Rome's attack on SDA from within on the 1st Commandment
What was Rome's main concern regarding Seventh-day Adventistism?
You may be surprised that it wasn't the Sabbath. As a Jesuit influence entered Adventistism, the commandment that was attacked wasn't the 4th but rather the first.
Exodus 20:2-3 (ASV)
2 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Why was this commandment the object of the infiltrators, such as Leroy Froom, rather than the Sabbath?
"The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.
If the Jesuit infiltrators could get Adventists to adopt their Catholic god, then that would then nullify their Sabbath keeping. The above quote says it all, the Trinity is the foundation to all the other doctrines of Rome.
Sunday keeping is done in honor of the Holy Trinity!
"Dies Solis - The Day of the Sun.
Q. What is Sunday, or the Lord's Day in general?
A. It is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honour of the most holy Trinity, and in memory that Christ our Lord arose from the dead upon Sunday, sent down the holy Ghost on a Sunday, &c. and therefore is called the Lord's Day. It is also calledSunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred."

From Catholic Culture website:
"SIGN OF THE CROSS — The making of the sign of the cross, which professes faith both in the redemption of Christ and in the Trinity, was practiced from the earliest centuries. Saint Augustine (431) mentioned and described it many times in his sermons and letters.6 In those days Christians made the sign of the cross (Redemption) with three fingers (Trinity) on their foreheads. The words ("In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost") were added later. Almost two hundred years before Augustine, in the third century, Tertullian had already reported this touching and beautiful early Christian practice:
In all our undertakings — when we enter a place or leave it; before we dress; before we bathe; when we take our meals; when we light the lamps in the evening; before we retire at night; when we sit down to read; before each new task — we trace the sign of the cross on our foreheads."

The Trinity -- Central Doctrine of the Catholic Faith
The Council of Constantinople
"At the beginning of the year 381 Theodosius issued an edict expelling from all the churches within his dominions, all the bishops and other ecclesiastics who should refuse to subscribe to the creed of Nice." Milman'History of Christianity,' book iii, chap. ix, p. 391, 392.
Up until this time the main part of the controversy was over the relationship of the Father and His Son. But with this new creed the addition of the Holy Spirit as a third individual was added. It was thus that the actual doctrine of the Trinity was first presented in a creed. "The burning question of the decades succeeding the Council of Nicaea was how to state the relations of the Three Person of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

"Our opponents [Protestants] sometimes claim that no belief should be held dogmatically which is not explicitly stated in Scripture (ignoring that it is only on the authority of the Church we recognize certain Gospels and not others as true).

The Catholic Church did not acquire the doctrine of the Trinity from the Bible, but rather adopted it from pagan religions.
"The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the national philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches....

The first angels message!
Revelation 14:6-7 (KJV)
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Fear God (Jehovah) not a trinity!
Revelation 14:1 (KJV)
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
The Father's name Jehovah is written on the foreheads of the 144,000 redeemed not "The Holy Trinity".
You may be surprised that it wasn't the Sabbath. As a Jesuit influence entered Adventistism, the commandment that was attacked wasn't the 4th but rather the first.
Exodus 20:2-3 (ASV)
2 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Why was this commandment the object of the infiltrators, such as Leroy Froom, rather than the Sabbath?
"The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.
If the Jesuit infiltrators could get Adventists to adopt their Catholic god, then that would then nullify their Sabbath keeping. The above quote says it all, the Trinity is the foundation to all the other doctrines of Rome.
Sunday keeping is done in honor of the Holy Trinity!
"Dies Solis - The Day of the Sun.
Q. What is Sunday, or the Lord's Day in general?
A. It is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honour of the most holy Trinity, and in memory that Christ our Lord arose from the dead upon Sunday, sent down the holy Ghost on a Sunday, &c. and therefore is called the Lord's Day. It is also calledSunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred."

From Catholic Culture website:
"SIGN OF THE CROSS — The making of the sign of the cross, which professes faith both in the redemption of Christ and in the Trinity, was practiced from the earliest centuries. Saint Augustine (431) mentioned and described it many times in his sermons and letters.6 In those days Christians made the sign of the cross (Redemption) with three fingers (Trinity) on their foreheads. The words ("In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost") were added later. Almost two hundred years before Augustine, in the third century, Tertullian had already reported this touching and beautiful early Christian practice:
In all our undertakings — when we enter a place or leave it; before we dress; before we bathe; when we take our meals; when we light the lamps in the evening; before we retire at night; when we sit down to read; before each new task — we trace the sign of the cross on our foreheads."

The Trinity -- Central Doctrine of the Catholic Faith
The Council of Constantinople
"At the beginning of the year 381 Theodosius issued an edict expelling from all the churches within his dominions, all the bishops and other ecclesiastics who should refuse to subscribe to the creed of Nice." Milman'History of Christianity,' book iii, chap. ix, p. 391, 392.
Up until this time the main part of the controversy was over the relationship of the Father and His Son. But with this new creed the addition of the Holy Spirit as a third individual was added. It was thus that the actual doctrine of the Trinity was first presented in a creed. "The burning question of the decades succeeding the Council of Nicaea was how to state the relations of the Three Person of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The council had decided, and the papacy had appropriated the decision as its own" Benjamin G. Wilkinson, Truth Triumphant, p. 93.
