Let’s get to the truth
Lie: It’s okay for a woman to be a preacher because Paul only meant the women in Corinthians.
Truth: Paul was 100% referring to all women [just as Adam and Eve’s sin affected all men and women after them]. Implementation of what Paul is saying would be similar to this: During church, everyone should sing and give praise to God [all should be allowed to give a testimony as to what God has done for them, this glorifies God and edifies His church]. Women should not be in leadership or teaching roles in the church. The leadership roles are as follows; Bishop, Decon, and Minister. Married women should be getting their spiritual learning from their husbands. Single women should have classes available for them to learn about God. Husbands and the other men should have their classes as well but not mixed with the Ladies. Single women have a responsibility to choose a man that seeks and knows God, after marriage, they will be considered one flesh in God’s eyes and her husband will be the head of that body. A true prophetess should be allowed to give her message from the Lord, prophets judge prophets in their church and wait their turn to prophesy.
In Corinthians 14:27-28, Paul teaches about speaking in tongues in the church; 2 or 3 at most and only if there is an interpreter of tongues in the church, otherwise keep it to yourselves.
In Corinthians 14:33-38, Paul makes it clear that he is referring to every church, and are not to speak in the church and to be under obedience as the law says. They are supposed to get their spiritual learning from their husbands [women teaching women is as the blind teaching the blind]. For Paul went on to say in verse 36, What? Came the word out from you?[that is to say: Are you God the Maker and Giver of the law?] or came it unto you only?[that is to say: or the receiver of God’s law only?; not the author of the law but the obedient follower of the law.]
In 2 Chronicles 26:16-18, Uzziah the king lifted up his heart to his destruction; he took on the role of a Priest by burning incense before the Lord. Uzziah trespassed against the Lord because the Lord had commanded that only the priest were allowed to do that function; Uzziah was just a king. God has outlined His rules and we must obey them, otherwise, we trespass against God and are worthy of punishment. Uzziah knew better and was punished for it. This is the same thing when women take it upon themself to head up a church. They need to stop doing their trespass against God and not be wroth about it as Uzziah was.

Corinthians 14:27, If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Corinthians 14:33, For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
2 Chronicles 26:16-18, But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men: 18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertains not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou has trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honor from the Lord God.
Lie: Drinking is a sin.
Truth: Being drunk is a sin, God teaches self-control and moderation on this matter.
In Isaiah 55:1, God spoke to Isaiah concerning the thousand years of peace; Jesus will be reigning here on earth with king David as His appointed king over the mountains of Israel. David is part of the “dry bones prophecy”, he will be part of the first resurrection [the thousand years is how God will full His promise to the obedient children of Israel. Also, the thousand years of peace is the final great kingdom mentioned in the book of Daniel, Jesus will rule it with a rod of iron. Everyone will be taught doctrine by Jesus and His appointed priests; God will make everybody worship Him alone for 1 day or 1000 years before the 2nd resurrection]. It’s during this time wine and milk will be free.
In Matthew 26:26-28, Jesus requires us to drink the red wine and bread for Holy Communion. In verse 29, Jesus is referring to the thousand years of peace; His disciples will be a part of the “dry bones prophecy”, as well. And during the thousand years of peace when Jesus declares this Earth His kingdom [until then, it’s considered His footstool and testing ground,] He will drink wine again with His disciples.
In Timothy 5:23, We are told to drink wine, it good for some sickness.

Isaiah 55:1, Ho, everyone that thirsts, come ye to the waters, and he that has no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Matthew 26:26, And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. 27 And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.
Timothy 5:23, Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
Lie: Jesus and His disciples watered down the wine they drank, so it wasn’t really alcohol.
Truth: It was regular wine! They just had self-control and didn’t become drunk from the wine.
Some people mixed wine and water together; it increases the volume of the wine but still has alcohol content. Some thought it was good for that reason, But this clearly is not preferable.
In Isaiah 1:21, we see that mixing wine and water is not preferred or even a good thing. and in this analogy, it’s bad; mixing wine with water is like the mixing of rebellious princes and thieves…
In John 2:7-10, Jesus turned water into wine; He didn’t mix it with water. In fact, when the ruler of the feast had tasted it he was happy because they gave him the good stuff; aged wine. He said normally people start with the good wine and they switch to the worse wine [i.e. watered-down wine]. The wine Jesus had made was considered of the same quality as aged wine.

Isaiah 1:21, How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. 22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: everyone loves gifts, and follows after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come unto them.
John 2:7-10, Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bear it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou have kept the good wine until now.
Lie: It’s a sin to have more than one wife.
Truth: Jesus said it’s better to have one wife, but He did not say it was a sin to have more than one [In fact, Jacob had two wives, king David had hundreds of wives along with other kings of Israel]. If you have more than one wife, there are some leadership positions in the church you can not perform.
Why is this important? Example: If a Muslim has four wives and decides to follow after Jesus Christ, becoming a Jew by faith, he can without divorcing any of his wives.
Lie: The government gets to regulate marriage for God’s people and non-believers alike.
Truth: God already outlined the guidelines for marriage, what is acceptable, and what isn’t. Men don’t govern the Kingdom of God as they suppose. Men aren’t allowed to change God’s Law. So, when it comes to God and that which is God’s, follow God. But give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s.
Lie: You don’t have the Holy Ghost unless you have spoken in tongues.
Truth: Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift that some people have, and some don’t. You are given the gift of the Holy Ghost the moment you accept Jesus Christ into your heart.
Lie: God doesn’t talk to people anymore, only through the scripture.
Truth: God hasn’t spoken to them. Be warned, if God has spoken to you and you deny it before men for fear they will mock you. God will deny you also.
Lie: It’s God’s will that we should call ourselves Christians.
Truth: In Antioch, the Romans began to call the disciples Christians. The Jews that followed Jesus knew that anyone who believed in Jesus would become the children of God and receive salvation. God began to have His disciples spread the good news. As a result of the good news being spread abroad, the Romans began to persecute the Jews. The Romans saw the Jews as having two completely different teachings. [1] Jesus wasn’t God, and [2] Jesus is God. The ones that didn’t believe in Jesus were not the ones spreading the religion. But the Jews that knew Jesus is God went and spread the religion Judaism.
To punish the Jews that were spreading the good news of Jesus Christ throughout Rome. The Romans, being arrogant; Thought that they could regulate God’s kingdom and make a decree that the followers of Jesus would be called Christians and not Jews. The Hebrews that denied Jesus didn’t have a problem with that. It meant they would be able to keep control of Judaism.
After many years of persecuting; our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Rome Empire decided if you can’t beat them, then completely overtake them. They formed the Roman Catholic Church added some idolatry to the religion. Because Romans like their idols, then they did what Romans do, they took up the sword and conquered in the name of Christ [Christian Crusades]. Jesus was our example, men’s weapons are not our weapons, the tongue is our sword, and faith in Jesus is our shield. God wants everyone to choose Him because they feel His love, not the edge of the sword.
God didn’t tell His apostles to change the name of His religion. The apostles didn’t tell people to call themselves Christians. Jesus Christ is the God of Judaism, the Jews. Whosoever denies Jesus isn’t a Jew, and whosoever accepts Jesus becomes a Jew. Your flesh doesn’t make you a Jew; your faith does. After Antioch, Paul still referred to himself as a Jew.
ROMANS 4:13-14, For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
The Scribes and Pharisees wanted to deny Jesus and take control of the Jewish religion. Nobody can deny the God they serve and still claim to be a part of that religion, but that is exactly what the Scribes and Pharisees did. In Revelations, Jesus refers to the Jews that denied him as liars and are of the synagogue of Satan.
Revelations 2:9-11, I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
Without a doubt, the true Jews are the people that accept the Head of the Jewish religion, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. We shouldn’t be calling ourselves Christians, and there shouldn’t be all these different denominations of Christians, just Jews. Judaism and the Bible [KJV] are correct, it is the same religion the angels follow in Heaven. It is just implemented differently, bloodless sacrifices. After Jesus laid down His life for us, it marked the end of blood sacrifices; He was the ultimate sacrifice. Which bought the gift of the Holy Ghost to all that believed in Him. It allowed us to worship God more in line with how His angels worship Him. God never changes; men do!
HEBREWS 13:7-17, Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Revelations 5:9-10[angels speaking]
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou was slain, and has redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. [Redeem: to save from death.]
What is the meaning of these different denominations of Christians? and how does this lead to “divers and strange doctrines”? What men are really saying is that “I am going to follow God my way.” And this is in part because Rome changed the name of our religion. Then later misrepresenting it by the addition of idols and taking up the sword. Later the Bible was translated from Latin into Old English, and people could read God’s word; for themselves. People started to realize and see some of the errors in the Catholic religion. Causing them to follow yet another path/denomination and then more to follow. This lie has been perpetuated for so long that God’s reality seems like a “diverse and strange doctrine”. [Woe unto those that call right wrong and wrong right.]
Judaism is the name of God’s religion, one way to God; His way not ours. There is power when God’s people get together in one accord. I’m not talking just under one roof but everywhere doing it right. Our God is alive and in charge of His Kingdom. Follow the Lord in truth as He wants you to. Not as men tell you to, for fear of what they may think, say, or do to you. The Holy Ghost is our guide and teacher. He won’t keep us ignorant to His truth. God’s people will know His voice, and another they will not follow! Listen to the Holy Ghost in you, not to the teachings of men.
Lie: Quoting scripture adds credibility to their interpretation.
Truth: A man of God can speak truth to you that is in line with scripture without it being a direct quote. What you need to know is whether or not what is being said is truth or lie. The Holy Ghost is the revealer of the mysteries of God. God made all of us that believe in Him, His beloved children. We need to have faith in Him and obey. He will teach us as a loving father teaches his sons and daughters.
In Matthew 4:5-7, Satan quotes scripture and twists its meaning, so don’t be fooled.

Matthew 4:5-7, Then the devil takes Him up into the holy city, and sets Him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee: and in their hands they shall bear Thee up, lest at any time Thou dash Thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.
Lie: Once baptized you are guaranteed salvation.
Truth: After baptism you are not guaranteed salvation. Baptism is only the beginning of your walk with Christ!
In 2nd peter Chapter 2:20, If a person is baptized in the name of Jesus they become born again, a new creature before the Lord. But when temptation comes and they are overcome by it, returning to their sinful ways as if never baptized, that person will be in a worse state then if they were never baptized. Matthew 12:43-45, Jesus is teaching the same thing.

Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
It’s not the will of God that any of us burn in the lake. Men choose to burn in the lake of fire; rather than listen to His word and obey it.
Revelations 3:19-22, As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. 21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne. 22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
