The Great Deception

Why does America have so many churches, but so few Christians?

Many American churches teach doctrines like eternal security and predestination.  Many people in American churches believe that they are part of the Chosen Few.  They have been taught, that they do not need to produce the evidence of faith to be saved, because salvation is an eternal possession that they cannot lose.

Does the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) really support these doctrines that can collectively be summed up as "once saved, always saved"?

People can believe the Good News for a little while, and then stop believing, when they fall into temptation (Luke 8:13).  People can believe the Good News in vain, if they do not continue to remember the Good News (1 Corinthians 15:1-2).

People can turn their hearts back to the place of sin, after the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has saved them from it (Acts 7:36-39).  They can be destroyed for losing their faith in the Father of Truth, after they have been saved (Jude 1:5).

People can receive the grace of the Father of Truth in vain, by not immediately putting their faith into action (2 Corinthians 6:1-2). 

People can suffer in vain, if they start trying to get through their own efforts to keep the Law of Truth, what can only come from the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) through faith (Galatians 3:1-4).  People can swerve from faith, to turn aside to worthless words spoken by people, who do not understand the Law of Truth (1 Timothy 1:5-7).

People can make the efforts to others, to bring them into the House of Truth, to be in vain, if they return to observing the same holidays from idolatry, that they observed before they knew the Father of Truth (Galatians 4:8-11).  They can make these efforts to be in vain, if they give into the temptation of Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) to leave the House of Truth (1 Thessalonians 3:5-6).

People can fall from the grace of the Father of Truth, if they start seeking to be justified by the Law of Truth (Galatians 5:4). 

People can be robbed of what they have received, if human philosophies, deceit, and traditions, lead them towards the world and away from the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) (Colossians 2:8).  They can tricked out of their reward, if they let people lead them into bowing down in worship to angels (Colossians 2:18).

People can turn aside from following the Man of Truth, and go back to following the Father of Lies (1 Timothy 5:15).   They can turn away from the very Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him), who brought them the Good News (2 Timothy 1:13-15).  They can turn away from the sound doctrine, found in the Word of Truth, to follow after fables (2 Timothy 4:3-4).  They can turn from the truth, by giving heed to Jewish fables and the commandments of people (Titus 1:14).

People, who have come in the House of Truth, can turn so far away from the Man of Truth, that it becomes impossible to bring them back to repentance (Hebrews 6:4-6).  They can willfully return to sinning, after receiving the truth, to the point that there is no hope of escaping eternal punishment (Hebrews 10:26-27).  They can trod down the Man of Truth, treat the blood that he shed on the cross as unholy, and despise the Spirit of Truth, so that they come back under the wrath of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 10:28-31).

People can turn aside from following the Man of Truth, and not escape the judgment of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 12:24-25).  People can escape the pollution of this world through the Man of Truth, and then go back into that pollution, ending up worse than they were before they came into the House of Truth (2 Peter 2:20-21).

The Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) refutes these doctrines as well.

The Spirit of Truth can come upon people to carry out the will of the Father of Truth (1 Samuel 11:6-7).  The Spirit of Truth can then depart from them, for turning from obeying the Father of Truth (1 Samuel 16:14).  The Spirit of Truth can be taken from people, who return to committing sin (Psalm 51:9-11).

The Children of Truth can turn from the path of righteousness, and die in their sin (Ezekiel 3:20).    They can turn from righteousness, and die for committing iniquity (Ezekiel 18:26).

The righteousness of the Children of Truth can be forgotten, if they turn from the path of righteousness (Ezekiel 18:24).  Their righteousness cannot deliver them, if they turn to the path of transgression (Ezekiel 33:12).

So, the Book of Truth makes it plain that it is how you end that matters.  People must answer the call of 9-11 in Romans with repentance to be saved.  They must heed the message of the Sermon on the Mount to keep the Law of Truth from their heart, as the Father of Truth always intended.

The Children of Truth can only avoid falling into sin, by being constantly on guard against falling into sin (1 Corinthians 10:11-13).  They must constantly examine themselves to be sure, that they are still following the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 13:5).  They have to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

People must carryout the command of the Father of Truth, to separate themselves from those, who do not worship Him, if they want to be His children (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).  They must not let themselves be deceived into believing, that they can keep company with evil people and not be dragged into sin (1 Corinthians 15:33).

People cannot be saved by a dead faith, that does not produce the evidence of faith (James 2:14-17).  They cannot continue in faith, without continuing to produce the evidence of faith (James 2:18-20).  They cannot have justification by faith, without producing the evidence of faith (James 2:21-24).  The faith that people have, can become dead, if they stop producing the evidence of faith (James 2:25-26).

The Children of Truth must not cast away their confidence, but patiently endure, until they receive what the Father of Truth has promised them (Hebrews 10:35-36).  Those, who draw back from continuing to believe the Word of Truth, will be destroyed, instead of being saved (Hebrews 10:38-39).

These doctrines that make up "once saved, always saved" are at complete odds with the Book of Truth (The Bible).  These doctrines are the work of the Partial Deception used by many religious professionals to deceive people.  These doctrines teach that people can follow the Man of Truth, without following his instructions.  This is The Great Deception (1 John 3:7-8).

The Great Deception has people believing, that they should ease out of sin slowly through programs like Celebrate Recovery or Alcoholics Anonymous, instead of abandoning sin immediately through the One Step Program.

The Great Deception keeps the Children of Truth apathetic in carrying out the commandments of the Man of Truth, which will determine their permanent job in his kingdom.  This apathy is why, so many of the American Children of Truth feel like they are drowning in a lukewarm sea.

The Great Deception is the result of the Spirit of Truth no longer being the American Spirit.  The Great Deception has kept many Americans, who attend church week after week, from knowing what a Christian is.  The Great Deception is why, America has so many churches, but so few Christians.

The Great Deception is contrary to the Great Commission.  

Part of the Great Commission is to teach everyone to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth (Matthew 28:19-20).

The Great Deception is contrary to having a relationship with the Man of Truth.  

There is no loving the Man of Truth, without obeying his commandments (John 14:15).  There is no seeing the Man of Truth, without obeying his commandments (John 14:21).  There is no living in the love of the Man of Truth, without obeying his commandments (John 15:10).  This no being the friend of the Man of Truth, without obeying his commandments (John 15:14).  There is no knowing the Man of Truth, without obeying his commandments (1 John 2:1-4).

The Great Deception is contrary to the epistles of the Apostles of Truth.  

The commandments in these epistles are the commandments of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 14:37).  The commandments in these epistles are from the Man of Truth (1 Thessalonians 4:2).

The Great Deception is necessary for the return of the King.  

The Man of Truth will return to rescue the people of Jerusalem from the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) (Zechariah 14:2-4).  The Man of Lies cannot rise to power, unless first many fall away from following the Man of Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:2-4).  The Man of Lies cannot deceive people without The Great Deception (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

The Great Deception is necessary for this falling way from the Man of Truth.

The love of people for the Man of Truth has grown cold near the end of this age, because of The Great Deception (Matthew 24:11-14).  In these days leading up to the Man of Lies, many are breaking the commandments of the Father of Truth, while pretending to be His Children, because they deny the power of the Man of Truth to turn them from sin (2 Timothy 3:1-5).  In these latter days, many have departed from following the Man of Truth, because the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) have seduced them with the Great Deception (1 Timothy 4:1-2).

People are falling away, because they do not obey the commandments of the Apostles of Truth (2 Thessalonians 3:4-6). Many are falling away, because they will not endure the sound doctrine found in the Book of Truth, but gather around teachers, who tell them fables that they want to hear, like The Great Deception (2 Timothy 4:3-4).  They are falling away, because The Great Deception has convinced them, that they do not need to obey the Man of Truth for all of their days (Hebrews 3:12-14).  They are falling away from the Man of Truth, and being lead into The Great Deception, because they have not studied the Book of Truth for themselves (2 Peter 3:16-17).

The Great Deception is necessary for deceivers to lead people away from the Man of Truth.

These deceivers use The Great Deception to get people to follow them, instead of the Man of Truth (Acts 20:30).  These deceivers have caused sinful behavior among the Children of Truth with The Great Deception, in order to deceive the undiscerning, because they serve themselves, instead of the Man of Truth (Romans 16:17-18).  These deceivers lure people away from the Man of Truth with the Great Deception (2 Peter 2:18-19).

These deceivers teach The Great Deception, because they are not obeying the commandments of the Man of Truth themselves (1 Timothy 6:3-5).  These deceivers teach The Great Deception to avoid being persecuted for teaching people to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 3:12-14).

These deceivers are Apostles of Lies, who have made themselves appear to be Apostles of Truth, just as The Father of Lies can appear as an Angel of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).  These deceivers do have the Spirit of Truth living in them (Jude 1:17-19).

These deceivers tell people, that all they need to do to be saved, is come down to the altar, admit that they are sinning against the Father of Truth, and pray by repeating the words that an altar worker tells them to say.

The truth is, that saying the magic words is not enough.

It is not enough to recognize that the Man of Truth is the Messiah, for even the Spirits of Lies recognize this (Luke 4:41).  It is not enough to believe that the only god is the Father of Truth, for even the Spirits of Lies believe this (James 2:19).

It is not even enough to call the Man of Truth, "Lord".

The Man of Truth says, that calling him "Lord" is not enough, because only those, who do the will of the Father of Truth, will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 7:21).  Some of those, who will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, will have once operated in the power of the Spirit of Truth, but did not continue in the obedience to the Man of Truth required to know him (Matthew 7:22-23).  He says, that anyone, who does not obey his commandments, is going to have a great fall (Matthew 7:24-27).

The Man of Truth says to not call him, "Lord", without doing what he commands (Luke 6:46).  He says, that people must do the things which he commands, to avoid coming to ruin (Luke 6:47-49).

People must obey the Man of Truth, in order to be saved!

The Man of Truth is going to reward everyone according to their works, when he returns to this Earth (Matthew 16:27).  He is only going to reward those, who obeyed his commandments, with eternal life (Revelation 22:12-14).

The Father of Truth has raised the Man of Truth from the dead, to let people know that it is certain, that He will be judge everyone by the Man of Truth (Acts 17:31).  The Man of Truth has already brought judgment upon some among the Children of Truth, who refused return to obeying his commandments, to let the Children of Truth know for certain, that he will judge them according to their works (Revelation 2:20-23).

The Father of Truth is going to reward or punish people, based on their obedience to the Word of Truth (Romans 2:6-11).  The Children of Truth must live their lives striving to obey the commandments of the Father of Truth, because He is going to judge every person based on their actions (1 Peter 1:15-17).  Every person, who ever lived, is going to be judged by the Father of Truth based on their works, to either receive eternal life or eternal damnation (Revelation 20:12-15).

The Father of Truth is going to judge what people do in secret, by the Man of Truth (Romans 2:16).  Every deceiver will be given what they deserve for teaching The Great Deception (2 Corinthians 11:15).

So, the Children of Truth must avoid the Great Deception!

The Children of Truth must avoid deceivers, who lead people into doing things that are contrary to the Word of Truth (Romans 16:17-18).  They must not let deceivers convince them, that they can continue to do what the Father of Truth says is evil, and still be saved (Ephesians 5:5-7).

The Children of Truth must not deceive themselves into believing, that they can defile themselves with sin, and not be destroyed by the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 3:16-18).  They must not deceive themselves into believing, that they can be saved by hearing the Word of Truth, without doing what it says (James 1:21-25).  They must not deceive themselves into believing, that their religion will save them, if they do not show real love to other people, AND keep themselves separated from the world (James 1:26-27).

The Children of Truth must not let themselves be deceived into believing, that they can continue in sin and still be saved (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  They must not let themselves be deceived into believing, that they can keep doing what the Father of Truth says is evil, and still be saved (Galatians 6:7-8).

The Children of Truth must not deceive themselves, by denying that they have sinned, but confess their sin to the Man of Truth, so he can cleanse them from their sin (1 John 1:7-9).

The truth is, that you must come into the House of Truth and stay in the house to be saved.  This does not mean that you will instantly know every commandment of the Man of Truth and obey it.  It means that you will strive to do so, and continue to become more like the Man of Truth day by day.  After all, he became like us, so we could become like him (1 John 3:2).

You will stop knowingly breaking the commandments of the Father of Truth, because you will no longer be deceived by The Great Deception (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).  You will be able to do this, because you will be a new person (2 Corinthians 5:17). 

You will be able to do this, as you read the Book of Truth, because we are saved by faith, but grow by knowledge.  You will be able to do this, as you learn how to rightly divide the Word of Truth.

I know, because I have been there.  

Growing up, I had only heard The Great Deception in churches, but it did not make sense to me.  So, I started reading the Renewed Covenant for myself.  In it, I found a very different teaching regarding following the Man of Truth than the teaching of The Great Deception.  I realized that religious professionals, who claimed to have studied the Book of Truth, had sought to deceive me.  

Yet, I found that I could not obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, because I was still being terrorized by the monster within.

Then my cousin told me something I had never heard in seventeen years of weekly church attendance.  He told me, that if I would come to the Man of Truth in total surrender, then the Spirit of Truth would change me on the inside.  Once the Unchanging Law was written on my heart, then I would no longer find it tempting to disobey the Man of Truth.  When I stopped finding it tempting to disobey the Man of Truth, then I would be able to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth.

I wanted to free.  So on November 13, 1982 AD, I took the deal.  I came into the House of Truth.

The Good News is, that it was all true!  I made a commitment to obey the Man of Truth in everything, so he made the truth known to me, and I was set free (John 8:31-32).  When the Man of Truth sets you free, then you are free indeed (John 8:34-36)!

You have to start somewhere.  You have to just take that first step of making a commitment to obey the Man of Truth in everything, and then never go back on that commitment.  That is the simplicity of the Gospel.

So, make a commitment to obey the Man of Truth in everything, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
