Myth—God Owns Solid Rock

The Confused Church Is Dressed For Satan!

I’ve got good reason to think that many believers would be active on Satan’s behalf even though they are in the church. After all, Judas was one of twelve original apostles and his evil alone represents 8%. The church of Christ is so confused today that it is “literally dressed for Satan” instead of

being dressed for the “bridegroom” who is Christ. Only those who obey God’s Word are dressed in white robes awaiting the bridegroom [Christ]. The list below is observations of the many faces of evil in the church. The list includes the actions of Senior Pastor William Neal Matthews and others.

How A Confused Church Supported Evil!

1. Pastor intimidated people with spiritual power plays. 2. Pastor intimidated people with threats of lawsuits.

3. Pastor intimidated board into signing unseen documents. 4. Pastor intimidated staff members into moving out of town. 5. Pastor stood up in front of congregation and outright lied. 6. Pastor manipulated the corporate meetings of the congregation.

7. Pastor filed fraudulent Articles of Incorporation changes. 8. Pastor asked others to ignore the law. 9. Pastor hid material information from members of congregation. 10. Pastor systematically eliminated all opposition within church.

11. Pastor literally kicked opposing people out of the church. 12. Pastor violated various By-Law provisions of corporation. 13. Pastor violated various Articles provisions of corporation. 14. Members loved the pastor more than they loved God’s Word.

15. Members loved the pastor over the truth of the evil that he did. 16. Members refused to get involve when they knew the truth. 17. Members refused to come forward unless they were subpoenaed. 18. Members turned their backs and simply left the church.

19. Members turned their backs because they signed documents. 20. Members denied their own first hand knowledge & involvement. 21. Members took the pastor’s side and would not examine the facts.
