Revelation 18:4, "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues". This is Jesus speaking YHVH God's final revelation to mankind. What is it that we are being called out of? We are being call out of 'Babylon the Great'. Who is 'Babylon the Great'? In this book, I will show you how and why the Christian Church today is 'Babylon the Great', as well as why and how we must get out.If you were taught, as I was, that it is necessary to accept the Christian faith for salvation, then you may be wondering; why would a person who: diligently studied the Scriptures for decades, studied for years at a theological seminary, seeks after the Kingdom of God and God's righteousness, would walk away from the Christian faith while in his 70's? I left because I was called out by Jesus in Revelation 18:4.I'm writing this book to show, you from Jesus' own words, that there is no salvation in today's Christian Church, and that's because its teachings and practices have strayed from what Jesus said was needed for salvation. While Christians 'believe in Jesus' they don't 'believe Jesus', or they would accept all he said, and they don't (Luke 6:46). Those who accept, believe and practice what the Christian Church teaches in its doctrines will, according to Jesus' words, not end up receiving salvation, but rather, eternal destruction. So, this book not only tells you why I'm not a Christian anymore and it will also tell you why you shouldn't be one either. And I know those are strong and offensive statements and I don't expect you to believe me, so I will show this is true from Jesus' own words. And please note; while I'm leaving the Christian Church, I'm not forsaking any of Jesus' commands or teachings - it's the Christian Church that has done that - and I'm just forsaking the corrupt Christian Church with its idolatrous worship and lawless doctrines. And, unfortunately, those faulty and bad doctrines are part of the core teachings of today's Christian faith.How did the Christian Church forsake some of Jesus' most important teachings and commands? There is a great deception which began in the Garden of Eden and it is causing all the world to wonder after the beast. And we were warned about that by Jesus in the Gospels and the in the Book of the Revelation. This is a book the Church wouldn't want Christians to read - but they must read it to be among the redeemed.

The Bible tells us to honor our mothers and our fathers. The greatest honor we can give our parents, or God, is to respect them by obeying their instructions, that is, submitting to their authority. But contrary to that, the greatest dishonor we can give to our parents, or God, is to spurn their authority so that we reject and disobey their instructions. When we reject and ignore God's commands, God calls that 'bring reproach on His name' and 'despising His word' (Numbers 15:30). By following Paul's writings, the church believes the 'law is dead', 'done away with', and that salvation is granted to those who spurn God's authority and will not keep His law. Jesus didn't see it that way, he clearly and often called on us to keep God's law and repent when we failed - otherwise we would not be fit from God's Kingdom. The church rejects Jesus' command to keep God's law, and embraces Paul's lawless theology. And the net result is that the Christian Church has produced people who 'practice lawlessness', 'bring reproach on God's name' and 'despise God's word' and according to Jesus, those who practice lawlessness will be cast into a lake of fire. Please read this book, for your salvation may well weight in the balance of what is written here.

Adam and Eve were deceived in the Garden of Eden by the serpent, who, as you will learn, is also the serpent beast of Revelation. Because of Adam and Eve's disobedience, following their deception, they were banished from the Garden. What did they do that was so bad? They did nothing other than what the Christian churches teach and preach today. Adam and Eve were simply keeping today's 'church doctrine', which tells us that we don't need to keep God's laws, because we are saved by grace, so we can ignore them, and we will "surely not die" - even though Jesus spoke contrary to those doctrines. As the Book of the Revelation tells us, that all the world is deceived by the beast and they now follow the beast, and they do that by keeping church doctrines. Who is your supreme authority?

What's the main theme of the Holy Scriptures? It is a story of God's quest for gathering subjects for His soon coming eternal Kingdom. At the end of time God will establish His earthly Kingdom. However, unlike earthly kings, God will handpick who will be in His kingdom. It's at the final Judgment that God will separate the 'sheep' for eternal life in His Kingdom from the 'goats' who will receive their eternal destruction. How does God decide who are the 'sheep' or the 'goats'? God is testing all people, and based on the results of a lifetime test, God will hand pick who He wants in His kingdom. What character types is God seeking? Imagine that you are a king and you need subjects for your kingdom, what qualities would you be looking for? A king will be looking for loyal subjects who love the king, someone who honors the King, obeys the King, loves his neighbors, does acts of mercy, kindness to those in need, etc. It's very important for us to understand who God wants in His kingdom, because He is testing us daily and we need to pass the test. I will share with you, from Scriptures, insights that the churches have neglected to teach. I believe you will be amazed and your relationship with God will be changed, forever.

Are You Following Jesus or the Church? There is a difference between what Jesus taught and what the Church is teaching. The Church tells us that we are free from the Law, Jesus told us to keep the law. The church tells us that we must worship the Trinity, Jesus told us to worship Yahoveh alone. The church has decided to create its doctrines based on Paul's letters to the exclusion of Jesus' words. The church claims it loves Jesus, but it ignores much of what Jesus said, especially in regards to the keeping of God's law and worship Yahoveh alone. These differences are irreconcilable How do we solve these differences? We don't. We must simply look at the facts and choose for ourselves. We must choose to follow Jesus' teachings or choose to follow the Church's teachings. And if we choose to follow Jesus' teachings we will separate ourselves from Christianity. But the reward makes it well worth the cost. Read this book and you will see that we don't have a choice if we want to gain eternal life.

How do I get saved? Jesus knows best, for he is God's anointed Messiah, who came to 'seek and save the lost'.There are many verses we can quote Jesus on getting salvation, and they are like the facets of a diamond. We read from Jesus own words that receiving eternal life, or salvation, is by; believing in Jesus (Jn 3:16) by keeping his words (Jn 8:31), by keeping the Commandments of God (Mk 10:17-19), by following Jesus (Jn 10:26-28), and (or) by repentance (Mt 4:17). While these paths to salvation may sound unrelated, but when we study these paths, we will see a common thread that goes through them all and ties them together as a single path. The church tells people that they are saved by 'believing in Jesus', but without a good explanation of what it means to 'believe ' - and how that intertwines with the other paths - it's an incomplete message. Salvation is to walk on each of these overlapping paths. Discover what the common thread is that ties them all together, and much more in this book.

The Christian Church adopts its name from Jesus the Christ. They are called 'Christians' because they follow Jesus' teachings and examples... or do they? One would think that Jesus' words would be held in high esteem within the Christian Church and they would do what they could to obey Jesus. But that's not the case. Strangely enough, I can quote dozens of verses, commands, and warnings that the church completely ignores. And they are not insignificant verses. For example, Jesus told us to keep the Law and the Prophets until heaven and earth pass away, What Christian does that? What church teaches that? What preacher preaches that? I know of none. There are many such serious commands by Jesus that are completely ignored, placing all in the Christian Church on the Broad way headed for destruction. Why? I address that in this book, and much more.

While the modern day Christian Church follows the Gospel of Paul, it wasn't always so. The early church followed the Gospel of Jesus. I doubt that many people realize that there are two Gospels and they are polar opposites. The church jumps through hoops and does all it can to synchronize Paul's teachings with Jesus' teachings, but it failed. When you read in this book the comparison of the two Gospels, you will see why they are incompatible. They are so incompatible that they can't both exist in the church, so the church has rejected Jesus' Gospel in favor of the Paul's Gospel of 'lawlessness'. The second half of the book deals with Paul. Many love Paul and his teachings, and embrace them in place of Jesus' teachings. Other see Paul as an anti-christ figure, teaching a Gospel that is the opposite of the Gospel Jesus taught. I lay out the facts, and you will have to decide for yourself.

A Christian is one who follows Christ, accepting the authority of his teachings and commands. Yet, according to the Christian Church doctrine, we don't need to keep Jesus' teachings and commands, we can reject some, or all, of them, and all we need to do "believe". The Christian Churches aren't really 'Christian', since they deny Christ by denying his teachings. Jesus warned this would happen and told us there would be harsh consequences. The church has set many of Jesus' and God's commands aside, as dictated by their 'lawless' church doctrines. I give examples of that in this book. Jesus experienced the same problem with the Jews. Instead of church doctrine, they had their 'traditions' or 'oral laws' which were making them lawless. How did Jesus deal with them? His parables give that answer, and I explain that in the second half of this book. This is an eye-opening book that will make you evaluate your Christian Church as to how faithful it is to Jesus and God's commands.

Why do I say that Christianity is broken and beyond repair? I base my understanding of Christianity by what I read about Jesus? life and his teachings. The Christian Church today is broken because it fails to measure up to the faith Jesus left us, it?s not even close. But we learn in the Book of Acts that the earliest Church kept Jesus' teachings. According to Jesus and according to Moses Jesus came as Yahoveh?s prophet, speaking Yahoveh?s words with His authority, so one would think the words Jesus spoke would be of paramount importance and influence. Yet he spoke words and commands which are ignored, rejected, or in some other way deemed not relevant by the Christian Church, and that?s causing the Church to stray from following Jesus? teachings. And I say ?beyond repair? because Christianity is based on its doctrine and creeds, which will never change. A Christianity without Jesus' teachings is the great deception that is deceiving the whole world. Read this book to learn much more.

The Bible tells us to honor our mothers and our fathers. The greatest form of honor we can give to someone, or God, is to respect and obey their instructions. But contrary to that, the greatest dishonor we can give to a person, or God, is to reject and disobey their instructions. When we do that to God, God said that we 'bring reproach on Him' and calls it 'despising His word' (Numbers 15:30). Following Paul's writings, the church believes that salvation by grace and the keeping of God's laws are mutually exclusive. Jesus didn't see it that way, he clearly and often called on us to keep God's law and repent when we failed. The church has set Jesus' instructions aside and devalued God's commandments to suggestions, in order to embrace Paul's theology. Claiming that we are no longer under the law, the Christian Church has become 'lawless'. What will be the results of this condition? Please read this book, your salvation may well weight in the balance of what is written here.

Jesus gave specific and succinct instructions on how to inherit eternal life, yet the Church sets those teachings aside. Amazing right? I will show you exactly how Christian Church doctrine leads people away from Jesus'teachings, and God's instructions for receiving salvation and what to do about it. You will also read here about the great apostasy, the mark of the beast, the seal of God, what laws does God expect us to keep, the means of saving grace, true repentance, the Church of Laodicea, Jesus' style of evangelism, Jesus' atonement, the nature of God, and much more. If you are a Christian or Jew, you salvation weights in the balance of knowing what is in this book.

In the Book of the Revelation we see two mysterious signs, people will receive, the "mark of the beast" or the "seal of God". The Scripture clearly tells us that those with the 'mark of the beast' will end up in the 'lake of fires with burning brimstone'. Yet those with the 'seal of God' will end up in the New Jerusalem eating from the tree of life. , Revelation 12:9a, "... that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world ..." Revelation 13:3b, "... and all the world wondered after the beast." Most all Christians are worshiping the beast today, and think that they worship the true God. I will show you their deception in the Scripture, so you will be able to avoid it and receive the seal of God. The last few pages of this book deal with God's sacred name. Most of the Jews say it is too holy to use. Most of the Christians don't know it, Yet the Scriptures commands us to call on God with that name.

Are you ready for Jesus' Second Coming? I am utterly convinced that if Jesus returned today, most of the people who call themselves Christians would be lost. While they believe themselves to be saved, and are told by their church that they are saved, they do not pass the test the Jesus left for us. The Bible tells us that Jesus himself will judge us according to his words. But Jesus' words have been set aside by the church as the church points people to walk on the Broad way that will lead to destruction. Which road are you on? This book is a must read because your eternal life depends on your response to the the teachings of Jesus as I illustrate in this book. This book will show you where the 'church' has gone wrong and how to get through the Narrow Gate on to the Narrow way that leads to life. I will also share with you how the church today is Laodicea.

Since the 'Christian Church' has abandoned its' Hebrew Roots, many false teachings are in our mainstream churches today and they are destroying the faith given to us by Jesus and carried on by His apostles. Over the centuries precious Biblical truths have been replaced by non-biblical church tradition, doctrine and creeds. Jesus warned us over and over again about deception, but deception were so well disguised in Biblical garb that seemingly no one saw it coming, until it was entrenched in Church Doctrine. And no one expected deception coming from the Church itself. And now, just as it said in the Book of the Revelation, all the world is deceived and following after the beast.You will be amazed, shocked and astonished as I was, to see what the scriptures call the great apostasy happening before your very eyes...The main stream churches are following the teachings of the lawlessness Beast, they are worshiping a god unknown before the 4th Century, just as we read in the Book of the Revelation.
