Myth—God Owns Solid Rock

God said: “Edward, it is now time for you to choose. It is My Word

or his. Go ask Matthews why he has preached opposite of My Word.” I did confront Matthews immediately after the service. I asked him point blank why he now taught in opposition to God’s Word. He denied it and tried to pull a spiritual power play on me, but I obtained a tape of his message and

studied the matter at length. I even transcribed the tape. I left the church that day and refused to come back until Matthews explained his apostasy.

It took four weeks before he would see me. When I went into talk to

him, he immediately began accusing me of not supporting his ministry. I have already taught you from God’s Word on the issue of godly wisdom. James 3:17 explained that godly wisdom contains the ability to reason with one another. You know, from the strong mind that God gives us. Simply put, if you can dialogue and reason directly with God as taught in Isaiah, you

should be able to do so with your own pastor. If you cannot, it is time to leave the church. It is another sign you are in a house of Satan. God had shown me James 3:17 prior to the meeting. During the meeting and amidst the false accusations, a huge light bulb was lit in my mind and God said it

was now time to leave. God had showed me the nature of Satan’s lair.

You might find yourself suddenly on the outside of the church like I did and are unable to easily contact people in the church. Now what? You

can take out an ad in the local paper, call people, write letters, set up a post office box, or even create a web site to dispense information. I have done all of these and I can tell you that I am satisfied that anyone whom God wanted to let know had the ability to learn the truth about this evil church.

If a ministry has converted your property by fraudulent means, you can also sue. If you assemble 10% of the membership, you can also file suit under most non-profit corporation acts, if the church was formed under that

law. Don’t sue a brother in Christ is what the Word says. Be aware I am not talking about some minor issues, which are best ignored. How is your love different if every little thing that bothers you winds up a lawsuit?

“But instead, one brother goes to law against another—and this in front of unbelievers!” 1 Corinthians 6:6 NIV
