The Seven Deadly Types of False Christians.
Getting into Heaven is very very hard. Everyone who tells you it is easy is a liar! The Bible is very clear on only very few people being allowed in Heaven: Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
One of the reasons getting into Heaven is very hard is because there are many many liars claiming to tell you the truth while in reality they are deliberately seducing you into the eternal fires of Hell. Many people get seduced that way even though the Bible has a clear warning for it: Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Some of these deceivers are obvious, like atheists, but unfortunately many of them are much more devious. They claim to be Christians while in reality they are disciples of Satan. False Christians kill your immortal soul. There is no bigger sin than destroying someone's immortal soul!
(1) Roman Catholics
Catholics are probably the worst false Christians. The trick they use to seduce people into a one way trip to Hell is to make Jesus appear like a nice peace loving Hippie. By ignoring the parts of the Bible in which God humiliates and utterly destroys His enemies they pretend the Bible to be a text version of the Teletubbies. And on top of ignoring major sections of God's Holy Bible they also added all kinds of things that are not even in the Bible like Maria worshiping, which is weird since Jesus hated Maria, and the worshiping of objects even though the Bible explicitly forbids that.
Catholics call priests father, clearly a violation of Biblical law: Matthew 23:9 "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
Catholics forbid the priesthood to marry, but the Bible does not allow forbidding people to marry: 1 Timothy 4:1-3 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." Quite the opposite, God demands us to get married: 1st Corinthians 7:2 "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
(2) Mormons
Mormons do not believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible. The president and prophet of the Mormon church, Gordon B. Hinckley, made a very telling comment about Jesus Christ in a talk in Paris France on June 4, 1998: "The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. He together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages." (Church News, week ending June 20, 1998, page 7)
Clearly if you take some random turd and call it Jesus Christ, what you do has no relation to true Christianity whatsoever.
The Bible warns us for this type of false Christians: 2 Corinthians 11:4 "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."
(3) Church of Christ
Including variations like the Disciples of Christ, the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church.
The Church of Christ falsely claims you need both man and God to achieve salvation while the Holy Bible clearly states only the will of God is relevant: John 1:12-13 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
Most members even deny the existence of Hell! The Bible could not be more clear on Hell being very real: Psalm 9:17 "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."
(4) Jehovah's Witness
In 1879 Charles Taze Russell founded the "Herald of the Morning" which eventually developed into what is known today as "The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom." Today this publication has grown to over seventeen million copies per month in over one hundred languages. Paper that clearly should have been used for toilet paper instead!
According to the JW's, Jesus did not rise physically from the Dead. The Bible speaks of a literal and physical resurrection, but the Watchtower Society teaches that Jesus only rose from the grave spiritually. Their literature speaks for itself: "So the King Christ Jesus was put to death in the flesh and was resurrected an invisible spirit creature." (Let God Be True, pg. 138) The Bible is very clear on Jesus rising physically and not spiritually from the dead: Luke 24:38-39 "And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
(5) Lutherans
The Lutheran religion came out of the Catholic religion and shares many of it's problems. Martin Luther: "A person receives absolution or forgiveness from the confessor, as if from God Godself, without doubting it, but believing firmly that his or her sins are forgiven by God in Heaven through it." Clearly a big lie as only Jesus and not man can forgive sins: 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"
(6) Pentecostal
Also known as Charismatic and United Pentecostal.
Pentecostal Churches are known as "Jesus Only" Churches because they reject the Trinity. They could not be more wrong: Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" 2 Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
They teach that salvation is initially faith in Christ, but then is maintained by a life of faithfulness and continuing to believe in Christ. This is self-righteousness and an insult to Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for our sins. 1st Corinthians 3:15 proves them liars: "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
(7) Russian Orthodox
Clearly anything with "Russian" in it is suspicious all by itself. Russian Orthodox is no exception to that rule. And make no mistake, the Russian Orthodox Church is the second largest in the world after the Roman Catholics! The Russian Orthodox religion teaches most of the same nonsense as does Roman Catholicism.
For example, it is a sin to use the same prayers over and over again. Yet the Russian Orthodox do it all the time! Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
