Calvary Chapel Cult Part 1

 Chuck Smith, Don Stewart and Rick Warren

Pictured above with Calvary Chapel icon, Chuck Smith, is his co-conspirator, Rick Warren, who is (like Richard Land) a CFR member. Chuck and Rick look like nice enough fellows. You would never guess that they are part of the plot to destroy the Word of God and lead Christianity into deception and damnation, but they are. Whether they know it or not. You do not have to know that you are being used by Satan to be used by Satan. Remember that.

Oh how they love the chief seats in the synagogue.

The Calvary Chapel denomination started back in the 1960's and is one of several cult groups that were born out of the Jesus People movement:

Unlike many other Christian movements, there was no single leader or figurehead of the Jesus movement. Some of the larger names include Duane Pederson, Jack Sparks, who led the Christian World Liberation Front, as well as Lonnie Frisbee, who worked for a time along with Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel movement. Frisbee was a key evangelist during the growth of the Calvary churches; Smith was one of the few pastors who welcomed in the hippies who after coming to faith, eventually became known as Jesus people, and thus allowed for the dramatic future growth of his affiliate church network. Sparks and Pederson later became priests in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The international Potter's House Church (CFM) was birthed out of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, a church movement based in Los Angeles where Chuck Smith, the pastor of Calvary Chapel, received his early theological training. source

Lonnie Frisbee is a key person in the creation and initial growth of Calvary Chapel. Frisbee believed himself to be a prophet. Chuck Smith was taken with Prophet Frisbee and Frisbee quickly became one of the most popular ministers within the fledgling Calvary Chapel church not long after he and his wife joined the church in Costa Mesa, California. Frisbee was instrumental in growing the attendance numbers, but was this due to the leading of the Holy Spirit or was it because of some other spirit:

Frisbee's unofficial evangelism career began as a part of a soul-searching LSD acid-trip as part of a regular "turn on, tune in, drop out" session of getting high. He would often read the Bible while tripping.

Frisbee contracted AIDS and died from complications associated with the condition. At his funeral at the Crystal Cathedral, Calvary Chapel's Chuck Smith eulogized Frisbee as a Samson-like figure; that being a man through whom God did many great works, but was the victim of his own struggles and temptations. source

Crystal Cathedral is now a Catholic church. Can you see the pyramid & capstone?

When Frisbee died his funeral was held at the Crystal Cathedral, where 33rd degree mason, Robert Schuller was pastor. As part of his eulogy of Frisbee, Chuck Smith stated that when he met Lonnie that he was taken aback by the visible spirit of God in Lonnie's life.

Chuck compared Lonnie to Samson. Keep in mind that during the entire time, Frisbee was a practicing and unrepentant homosexual. To say that the Holy Spirit was inside someone who never repented of homosexuality and someone who found Jesus while high on acid is about as close to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit as you can get. 

And they get upset and say that no one has any right to judge. That is correct; we have no right to judge. But we have a responsibility to judge and this was an error on the part of Chuck Smith and just one among many. Maybe it was on purpose. Perhaps it was Satan's Hegelian game in play once again, where Satan's people divide evil in two and call the one half evil and the other half good. They are continually whittling people down and breaking down morality, but they cannot get everyone to accept homosexuality all at once. So they divide the more conservative sheep into a camp that superficially condemns homosexuality or whatever sin to keep the conservatives deceived and thinking that they are part of the "Godly" church versus their more liberal counterparts. 

This theory is further displayed in the schism between Smith and his son, Chuck Jr. Chuck Smith Jr. is  pastor of a Capo Beach church that was formerly a Calvary Chapel. Smith Jr. was kicked out of the Calvary Chapel denomination by his own father for publicly supporting homosexuality being too"emergent". I have seen Smith Jr. talk about homosexuality being a "gift" and "not a choice" so he is clearly on the false teacher track and right on track with the rest of the whore church crowd in their mad dash through the wide gate. This had the effect of reassuring the more conservative Calvary Chapel members that they are part of the true church when really the wolves in charge had simply divided evil in two and called the one half evil and the other half good. Thesis vs antithesis = synthesis and the synthesis is the deception of the conservatives. The liberals were already deeply fooled and in no danger of slipping from Satan's grasp.

Kathryn Kuhlman, now deceased, hosted a television show called I Believe in Miracles on which Lonnie Frisbee appeared and gave his testimony. When I watched the video it made me sick. Kuhlman gave spiritual birth to Benny Hinn and it was she who was his inspiration. If you place your faith in the teachings of any of these people, then you need to wake up from your blindness. You have failed to exercise discernment and to "test the spirits." When I watch video of Katherine Kuhlman my discernment echoes "Ellen White Alice Bailey Ellen White Alice Bailey...." People fall for these liars because people have "itching ears" and because a "wicked and perverse generation seeketh a sign." Worshipping the Lord "In Spirit and in Truth" is too boring for modern man. We need a good show and a jazzy story. Throw in some lying signs and wonders and we'll have a hit!

As above: so below - two pyramids mirroring

Greg Laurie, a disciple of Frisbee's, went on to pastor Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. Harvest is one of the largest Christian churches in America with its 15,000+ membership. Laurie has recently begun playing a foil to Chuck Smith's role in yet another Hegelian shell game, this time concerning the emerging church and once again CFR member Rick Warren rears his head.

Greg Laurie spends approximately five years being discipled by Lonnie and copies him in every way, even down to dressing exactly as he does in hippie garb with fringes on his jacket. Laurie later becomes one of the most recognizable evangelists in the nation. source

The source for the statement above thinks that Laurie being discipled by Frisbee was a good thing. To me it cries out "fruit of a poisoned tree."

All date setters being liars who should be shunned. I never knew that Chuck Smith was a date setting false prophet, but in 1978 Smith published a book titled End Times. Smith stated that the generation that had seen Israel become a nation in 1948 would be the last generation and that at the very latest the world would end by 1981. Smith reaffirmed this position in 1981 in his Future Survival. Smith qualified his statements by saying that he understood that he could be wrong. The first mistake that Smith made is to think that what calls itself "Israel" constitutes the regathering of Israel as the Bible states will happen. It does not. His second mistake is assuming that the "fig tree" parable has anything to do with Israel. Luke 21:29  states:

And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees....

This has nothing to do with Israel at all much less a TPTB created modern Israel. And after all, Smith's prophecy failed. Who could have seen that coming? And yet even though Smith is a proven false prophet Calvary Chapel is still packed all over the United States and even internationally. Why? Because most of those who are packing into the Calvary Chapels are clueless. They have no idea about Smith's and the Chapel's history. Listen folks, if you do not know Calvary Chapel's past, then you don't know where Calvary Chapel is leading you. You need to know. And do not let some phony emotional attachment blind you to the truth.

The last item that I wish to present with this post is a statement from the Calvary Chapel website:

We believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a part of the Body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:15-16) source

The phrase "universal church" gives away what Calvary Chapel really is:

The Catholic Church declared in the Fourth Lateran Council that: "There is one universal Church of the faithful, outside of which there is absolutely no salvation", a statement of what is known as the doctrine of Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. The Church is further described in the papal encyclical Mystici Corporis Christi as the "Mystical Body of Christ". source

The "universal church" statement is yet one more connection running between Calvary Chapel and the Catholic Church. Catholic is Latin for Universal and the Catholic Church has always called itself the Universal Church and Calvary Chapel believes in it.

When you tell someone who is in a cult that they are in a cult and you show them evidence to that effect they do not suddenly proclaim, "Hey! You are right! I see it now! I am in a cult!"

They never do that. They double down. They become defensive and they stick tighter to the cult than ever before. That is human nature. It's basic psychology. 

The cult and it's teachings have worked their way into the mind and formed pathways and really become a literal part of the person. This is called internalization. So when you state facts that put the cult in a negative light you are perceived as attacking the individual because they are the cult. People can be freed from the cult by having their eyes opened by Jesus Christ.

There is a lot of evidence for the Jesus People Movement (and by extension Calvary Chapel itself) being a front for counterintelligence. Perhaps I will explore that in a future post.

When Zion Is Not Zion

Zion

2 Samuel 5:7  Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

The verse above is the first location in the Bible where Zion is mentioned. Strong's Concordance contains this brief entry for Zion:

06726 Tsiyown tsee-yone’

the same (regularly) as 06725, Greek 4622 siwn; TWOT-1910; n pr loc

AV-Zion 153, Sion 1; 154

Zion =" parched place"

1) another name for Jerusalem especially in the prophetic books

Zion is spelled Sion in the KJV New Testament. There are two references to Sion in the Old Testament. The first is Deuteronomy 4:48 and  it refers to Mount Hebron, rather than Jerusalem/Zion. The second is Psalms 65:1, which is referring to Zion.

Zion held a special place in David's heart. David was a man after God's own heart and we know that Zion holds a special place in God's heart. Indeed the good Lord has loved Zion and always will.

I will tell you for a certainty that Satan hates Zion. This is true because the hatred of Satan will be focused like a laser upon all that God holds dear just as his eyes were fixed upon man in the Garden of Eden. Satan desires to first defile and then destroy Zion. He is doing so right now through his godless servants that have filled that land.

The following images show what is Going on in Israel. There are far worse examples that could be shown, but you get the idea. The people in and around Zion fly the rainbow colors of gay pride and they carry the hexagram star of their god, Saturn:

We know that homosexuality has drawn the judgement of God in the Old Testament. This is a different age. People have a lifetime to come to Jesus. Sometimes that lifetime is cut short by chance and other times by our own behavior.

Final Judgement will come at the Great White Throne. But the judgement of God upon this age is being stored up. The day approaches when God will start the timer on the final 42 months before the return of Jesus. At that time judgement shall begin and Israel, Jerusalem in particular, shall be right in the bull's eye of it.

Revelation 11:8  And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

The beast defeats the two witnesses of God in Jerusalem, where our Lord was crucified. The judgements of the Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Vial both strike the region of the river Euphrates. We are told that the Fifth Vial is poured upon the seat of the beast. We cannot be absolutely certain, but this writer asserts that the seat of the beast is indeed Jerusalem.

We know for a fact that when Christ returns the first place on earth where he sets his feet shall be Mount Zion:

Revelation 14:1  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.

Satan desires to defile the Holy Land of God. He desires to turn it into an abomination. In the Illuminati film The Matrix Reloaded we are given a glimpse of Satan's Zion:

In the film those who have been disconnected from the matrix have founded a safe haven that they call Zion. In the image above I envision the Canaanites worshiping Baal or the children of Israel who "rose up to play" before the golden calf. Still the scenes of Zion in the film are tame compared to what actually goes on in Israel today.

Where does Matrix tell us that this Zion exists?

Deep inside the earth near the core.

THE ZION OF THE MATRIX IS HELL

Those who serve Satan hate God's Zion. They have but one message for Zion:

F U SION - Do you get it? I am not spelling it out for you. The image has the "X" of Osiris and many masonic pyramids. There is also beast mark symbolism in there.

Sodom and Egypt where also our Lord was crucified. Is it starting to click yet? Satan and his little monsters are piling up the sewage in the Holy Land and let's not even get into what World War Z wished upon Jerusalem. The Lord will have a monumental clean up project when he returns. But he has that covered:

Zechariah 14:

2  For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3  Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4  And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5  And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

6  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

7  But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

8 ¶ And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9  And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

From Zechariah and the Revelation it is apparent that the entire region around the Holy Land (and likely the rest of the earth) is going to be terraformed by the good Lord to prepare for his coming.

In closing, if you attend a church that pushes Zionism do please try to have an open mind and heart. Look into the origins of Zionism and how that the modern state of Israel came to be. It is not of God, but it is allowed by God in order to fulfill prophecy.

Shalom

A War Is Coming And Is Here Even Now

Maybe I am wrong.

Maybe the Seals are about to be broken.

It all starts with a new king:

Revelation 6:2  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Then a great war. 

Revelation 6:3 ¶ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 

See thou hurt not the wine and oil. The rich will still get richer for a spell:

Revelation 6:6  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

These bring famine, pestilence and death:

Revelation 6:7  And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8  And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Note that the verse states that these four have power over the "fourth part of the earth" to kill. This does not necessarily mean that 1/4 of the population is killed at this time. No doubt many Christians will die and many will be killed during this period:

Revelation 6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

The powers that be have their bunkers built. They have seen signs in the heavens that they have concealed from the rest of us and we shall not be aware of until the last moment - except those of us who believe:

Revelation 6:15  And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

There is no reason or excuse to assume that the great multitude that John saw in heaven before the throne in Revelation 7 got there by any rapture. Revelation 20 tells us that the rapture, which is the "first resurrection," comes after "the beast" has killed off many saints:

Revelation 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

And the beast does not come until well beyond the time when John sees the great multitude before the throne in chapter 7 - not until the first woe of Revelation 9 does the beast come.

So this means that then, as now, Christians will be dying and being killed before and all during the Great Tribulation.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection.

All of the churches are going to point to the beast as Christ. All of them: Baptist, Mormon, Jehova's Witnesses, Catholic, SDA, Calvary Chapel, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist - it makes no difference. All religions on earth will worship the beast. The leadership of all of these belief systems is Satanic. They will unite to put the mark on you.

Watch for that "new king." And remember that I am not making predictions, but only saying watch and be cautious.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo Cult

John 14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?  

John 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

We recently returned from a West Coast trip and while traveling I spotted a logo on what I thought was a Mormon temple. I wanted to get a better look at it because it was an obvious masonic compass and square. 

Upon examination I found the church to be called "Iglesia Ni Cristo." I thought that it was Spanish, but upon looking into it I learned that Iglesia Ni Cristo was started in the Philippines and has since spread around the world and has a current membership on a par with the Mormons. 

The name Iglesia Ni Christo means Church of Christ. You can find a lot of images in the Internet of Iglesia Ni Cristo church buildings. They remind me somewhat of Mormon temples, but they remind me a lot more of a Disney Castle:

1 Samuel 16:7  But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Core Teachings

The Trinity

Christ and the Apostles are united in teaching how many and who is the real God. Similar to other true Christians, according to Apostle Paul, there is only one God, the Father—not the Son and more so not the Holy Spirit. The Apostles also did not teach that there is one God who has three personas who are also Gods. ... It [Trinity] is not found in the Holy Scriptures or the Bible, and if [Catholic] priests ever use the Bible to prove this teaching of theirs, all are based only on suppositions and presumptions. source: Iglesia Ni Cristo  translated from Pasugo (November 1968)

"...there is only one God, the Father—not the Son and more so not the Holy Spirit....It [Trinity] is not found in the Holy Scriptures or the Bible..."  

Anyone who owns a Bible and can read will be able to easily disprove these false statements of Iglesia Ni Cristo. You are commanded to search the scripture. You are also commanded to study to show thyself approved that you need not be ashamed. You are also commanded to test the spirits of those who would be your teachers. The membership of Iglesia Ni Cristo fail miserably on all accounts.

This is what the Scriptures say:

God the Father gave all things to his coequal, Jesus Christ:

John 5:22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

Those who honor not the Son have NO HONOR toward the Father either:

John 5:23  That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Jesus Christ was co-creator of all things:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2  The same was in the beginning with God. 3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

The co-creator of all things, JESUS CHRIST,  dwelt with man in the flesh:

John 1: 14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus Christ is distinct from his Father, yet they are one. This looks like a contradiction to those who are in the flesh, which is why they stumble over it:

John 10:30  I and my Father are one.

Jesus, the Spirit of God and God the Father are three distinct persons:

Matthew 3:16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

There are THREE members of the Trinity:

1 Timothy 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

"God was manifest in the flesh"

There can be no misunderstanding of this statement or argument about what it means.

Jesus Christ has always been God and he became flesh.

What Timothy is talking about in the verse above is exactly what we speak of now.  "without controversy great is the mystery of godliness" - In other words, everyone agreed that there was a great mystery in the nature of God: how that he was manifest in the flesh and how that he was evinced in his spirit. The Spirit and the Son of God ARE GOD.

The Apostles recognized the triune nature of God:

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:

According to Iglesia Ni Cristo, "It [Trinity] is not found in the Holy Scriptures or the Bible..." 

Then what is this:

1 John 5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

The Deity Of Jesus Christ

Iglesia Ni Cristo teaches the Mormon doctrine of Christ being a created being:

The church believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the mediator between God the Father and humanity, and was created by God the Father. source: Iglesia Ni Cristo

But we do not subscribe to the belief that Christ is a God-Man. He is man in nature according to His own testimony (John 8:40) and the teachings of His Apostles (I Tim. 2:5; Matt. 1:18) Iglesia Ni Cristo

This statement of Iglesia Ni Cristo (and the Mormons) reveals that they truly do teach falsely. When Jesus Christ came into the world  to live and eventually die for the world he being THE WORD was "made" flesh for that purpose:

Hebrews 2;9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

But these people stumble horribly over the truth. Jesus' life and existence did not begin at his conception. Jesus was in the beginning and has always been:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2  The same was in the beginning with God. 3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

And: 

Ephesians 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.

And if those verses do not clrarify the matter we have Colossians 1:

13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

"his dear Son:"

Everything that follows now is a reference back to "his dear Son."

14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

In whose blood do we have redemption?

"his dear son"

15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Who is "the image of the invisible God?"

"his dear son"

16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

By whom were all things created?

"his dear son"

17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Who is "before all things?"

"his dear son" 

18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Who "is the head of the body, the church?"

"his dear son"  

Who "is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead?"

"his dear son"

19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Jesus Christ is the creator of all things. Jesus Christ was before all things. Jesus Christ is the beginning, which is to say the SOURCE and the MEANS by which all other things came.

ALL things were made by THE WORD and the WORD is the SON and "without him was not any thing made that was made." 

So to say that he (Jesus) who made all things was made when John 1:3 says that nothing that was made was made without him MAKES Iglesia Ni Cristo (and the Mormons) false teachers. 

Jesus Christ was a party to his own incarnation into this world. He was incarnated, meaning God became flesh, but he was not created.

1 John 5:7 states that the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are one. All three are God and God has no beginning and no end. As Timothy said, it is a mystery. This means that God reveals it to his own and conceals it from the tares who stumble. If Jesus came back today these masonic cultists would seek to stone him for claiming to be God just as the Pharisees and Sadducees had done.  

Revelation 3:14 is often used by those who hate Jesus as a defense to the argument that Jesus was a created being:

Revelation 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Mormons and Iglesia Ni Cristo state that Jesus being described here as the "beginning of the creation of God" proves that Jesus was created by God and has a distinct beginning and is therefore not one with God. Not only does this lie not agree with the whole of Scripture is also fails easily under scrutiny when you simply look at the language. 

The Greek work used here for "beginning" is arche:

746 arch arche ar-khay’

from 756; TDNT-1:479,81; n f

AV-beginning 40, principality 8, corner 2, first 2, misc 6; 58

1) beginning, origin
2) the person or thing that commences, the first person or thing in a series, the leader
3) that by which anything begins to be, the origin, the active cause
4) the extremity of a thing
4a) of the corners of a sail
5) the first place, principality, rule, magistracy
5a) of angels and demons  

The Greek word used in this verse for "beginning" is "arche" and arche means "source."

JESUS WAS THE SOURCE OF ALL THINGS THAT WERE CREATED. This is just as John and Colossians tells us.

Jesus Is and Always has been God

Isaiah 44:6  Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

This verse from Isaiah is undoubtedly speaking of God the Father. Jesus has not yet been incarnated into this world as flesh as of yet. Yet in Revelation we see this spoken of Jesus:

Revelation 1:17  And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

"I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead!" Here we see the natures of God the Son and God the Father (from Isaiah) being mingled together. THAT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE.

Jesus called "Mighty God":

Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Jesus name means "God with us":

Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

Jesus made all things:

John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2  The same was in the beginning with God. 3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Jesus did not correct Thomas when Thomas called him "my God":

John 20:28  And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29  Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

"God" purchased the church "with his own blood":

Acts 20:28  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Christ was a party to his own incarnation:

Philippians 2:5  Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant, and coming in the likeness of men.

Before his incarnation, Christ had been "in the form of God." The Greek word used here for "form" is "morphe":

3444 morfh morphe mor-fay’

perhaps from the base of 3313 (through the idea of adjustment of parts); TDNT-4:742,607; n f

AV-form 3; 3

1) the form by which a person or thing strikes the vision
2) external appearance 

Before becoming flesh Christ look like God and considered himself "equal to God."

How is he not then God, Iglesia Ni Cristo?

The leadership of INC know that Jesus is God. That is because the true leadership of INC is not flesh and blood, but are principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world. 

Jesus' deity affirmed:

Colossians 2:9 - For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

"Godhead" from the Greek, "theotes":

Godhead:

2320 yeothv theotes theh-ot’-ace

from 2316; TDNT-3:119,322; n f

AV-Godhead 1; 1

1) deity
1a) the state of being God, Godhead

Jesus is God in flesh:

1 Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

Jesus is "our great God and Savior":

Titus 2:13 - looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ

Even God the calls Jesus "God":

Hebrews 1:8-9 - But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

God speaking to Jesus says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever..." And again, God speaking to Jesus says, "Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You..."

The Church

They believe that the Iglesia Ni Cristo is the fulfilment of the passage above while "east" refers to the Philippines where the Church of Christ would be founded. source: Iglesia Ni Cristo

This false teaching of Iglesia Ni Cristo is based upon Isaiah 43:5:

Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west...

But who is God speaking to in this verse? Is it the Philippines? Is it China? Is it Hawaii? Fiji perhaps? Let's just make it whatever we need to make it in order to support our cult. 

No, God is speaking to Jacob, which is Israel. Verse 1 of Isaiah chapter 43:

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

As C.H. Spurgeon once said, "a text without a context is a pretext" and Iglesia Ni Cristo seems to be in no short supply of those.

The Elect

The INC teaches that its members constitute the "elect of God" and there is no salvation outside the Iglesia ni Cristo. Faith alone is insufficient for salvation. source: Iglesia Ni Cristo

Only a poor student of the Bible cannot see past this whopper. Did the thief on the cross attend Iglesia Ni Cristo? 

Was no one saved before Manalo created his cult? 

They actually teach that you must attend Iglesia Ni Cristo to be saved. This alone reveals a lie in that it contradicts the very next sentence, "Faith alone is insufficient for salvation."

To build such an important doctrine upon a single verse of utterly vague application to the point lays bare the deception.

The Symbol of Iglesia Ni Cristo

The Iglesia Ni Cristo logo is an  occult device and it stands as a testament to "STRONG DELUSION," as millions of people worldwide faithfully believe that Iglesia Ni Cristo is Christian in spite of the fact that Iglesia Ni Cristo boldly proclaims that it is Antichrist by placing this monstrosity on all of its churches.  

Many bloggers and others have pointed out the masonic compass and square that are present in the center of the logo:

However, you will notice that within the Iglesia Ni Cristo logo there is a scale attached to the top of the compass and between the arms of the compass there is a lamb resting atop a book of what looks like several scrolls. These objects provide a definitive and unquestionable connection between this logo and the Scottish Rite 17th Degree "Knight of the East and West":

17th Degree "Knight of the East and West"

17th Degree – “Knight of the East and West”“The jewel is a heptagonal (seven-sided) medal, half gold and half silver or mother of pearl. These two colors are emblems of the sun and moon, themselves symbols of the Egyptian deities Osiris and Isis, who represent the generative and productive powers of nature, illustrated in Masonic Symbolism by the columns Jachin and Boaz as the active and passive forces manifested in nature (Morals and Dogma, p. 202). On one side are engraved, at the angles, the same letters as are on the capitals of the columns in the ceremony and possessing the same meaning, that of the last seven of the Sephiroth of the Kabalah. A star is over each. In the center, on the same side, is a lamb, lying on a book with seven seals, on which seals are, respectively, the same letters, though shown in this representation as the Roman equivalents. On the reverse side are two crossed swords, points upward; their hilts rest on an even balance. In the corners are the initials in Greek of the names of the Seven Churches (Revelation 2 and 3).  source: Scottish Rite 17th Degree

...the Masonic author of the authoritative Richardson's Monitor of Freemasonry, no doubt lets the cat out of the bag, so to speak, by detailing how, during this ritual ceremony for the Degree of Knight of the East and West, the Sacred Word is given to the assembled members of the Lodge. That sacred word is a shocker: It is Abaddon. Yes, Abaddon is the Sacred Word for the Masonic Knights of East and West. And the Holy Bible reveals exactly who Abaddon is in Revelation 9:11:

Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

In Richardson's Monitor of Freemasonry, it is revealed that, following the announcement of the sacred word, Abaddon, the Lodge drama for this fateful degree provides a demonstration 'intended to represent the end of the world'. (Marrs, Codex Magica, page 207) What symbol does Texe show to represent the Knights of East and West? A Skull & Crossbones! And, of course, the crossed bones represent an "X"! source: 17th Degree Knights of the East and West

There is really no denying that the Iglesia Ni Cristo logo is taken directly from the 17th Degree:

This also reveals that Iglesia Ni Cristo has a hidden agenda that involves the Antichrist and the end times. They picked the 17th Degree for a reason. The sacred word of the 17th Degree is Abaddon whom Revelation 9:11 tells us is Apollyon, the destroyer. That is what all of this is about. All of the 911, Freemason, false church cult business boils down to Antichrist.

Notice that in the Iglesia Ni Cristo logo the scrolls are all dishevelled. Even the masonic medal showed very clearly that there are seven seals. This signifies the fact that Iglesia Ni Cristo's role is as an agent of confusion within a masonic context.

The Lamb of God, Jesus, is associated with the seals in Revelation. Within the Iglesia Ni Cristo symbol the lamb is oblivious that it has been placed in a magic triangle as a sacrifice, so it makes a good analogy for those who attend Iglesia Ni Cristo. If the lamb was wise it would open and study its Bible, but it seems content to lay down on it and trust false teachers to interpret Scripture. Being ignorant of Christ it will be sacrificed to Antichrist. 

The occult symbolism of sacrifice is clear:

Aleister Crowley, in Magick in Theory and Practice, said that "The ethics of the thing [blood sacrifice] appear to have concerned no one; nor, to tell the truth, need they do so." "Crowley sacrificed animals and fowl in his rituals within a MAGICK CIRCLE or MAGICK TRIANGLE, which prevented the energy from escaping. He condemned the practice of torturing the animal first to obtain an elemental slave, calling it "indefensible, utterly black magick of the very worst kind." However, he said that there was no objection to such black magic if it was "properly understood." source: Rosemary Guiley, The Encyclopedia of Magic and Alchemy  (p. 282)

Conclusion

Seventh Say Adventists, Jehova's Witnesses, Mormons and  Iglesia Ni Cristo all tell lies about who Jesus is and who God is. The Catholics set up idols between man and God. The bulk of Protestant denominations sold out to the Ecumenical Movement and joined themselves to every false teaching.

All organized religion is false. 

They preach unity and their unity is the same that Nimrod preached.

Come out of it. All you need is Jesus.

I do not believe that it would be productive to debate with people that teach such things, as it is apparent to me that such organizations are set up for the sole purpose of financial gain and to spread false teaching to prepare the world for Antichrist. 

They have everything to lose by backing down and their false doctrine has been carefully formulated to ensnare the ignorant, so to change it would mean to risk losing control of the golden geese. They never will.

Therefore it does not matter how elegant and compelling your arguments might be, such organizations will fight to protect their gold and their hidden agenda.

Before you call me a hater you need to understand that I am warning you to come out of religious Babylon. I am warning you about the coming of 666 and the false Christ. 

Step back and for once question what you have been goaded and brow beaten into accepting as truth. Question it before it is too late. Most if not all of the churches of every denomination are fallen. 

The only people defending them are those who are feeding at the trough. Come out of these deceptions that have been set up by agents of the Synagogue of Satan.

God Speaking: 

Hebrews 1:8  But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

God Acknowledges what Iglesia Ni Cristo refuses to acknowledge.

Jesus Christ is God 

All churches that deny this are of Satan.
