I was reading a paper, that some Bishop wrote regarding the Doctrines of the Bible. Well, he starts out saying that the Word of God never changes, and it will last forever. However, he goes on to put his interpretation of what is truth in the Bible. When he starts out talking about the history of Israel, he does not call them Israelites, but a Jewish Nation which is an error because Jews are only one tribe in the Nation of Israel. Jews are the children of Judah the fourth son of Jacob, Genesis 29:31-35.
He writes as though the Lord has cast Israel away, but the Lord has not cast His people (Israel ) away, Romans 11:1-2. He also states in his commentary that the church was started on the day of Pentecost, by the Apostle Peter, when in all actuality the church started in the wilderness, Exodus 19:1-6 and Acts 7:37-38.
Stephen tells us that Moses was in the Church in the wilderness. So, if Moses was in the Church in the wilderness, what church is this that was started by Peter in Acts 2?
He also stated that Isaiah did not know God’s name, however if you read Isaiah 12:2 you will find that is not so.
He also attempts to write about sin. I ask you this question. What is sin? He talks about sin but never states what SIN is. For the biblical definition please read 1 John 3:4; Deuteronomy 8:3, and Luke 4:4. Here we read that sin is the transgression of the Law and the Law is every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.
I detect that they do not understand about the Holy Ghost, nor do they have an understanding of the Holy (The Godhead). It is a shame that they do not understand that there is man’s kingdom, the Son’s Kingdom, and the Father’s Kingdom.
Then there is the Rapture, where Jesus is "coming to take His Church away". I was ready to ask where was He taking His Church, then I read in the commentary that He was taking His Church to Heaven. Now, this is what they write and teach. However, according to Scripture, you can not find anywhere in the Holy Scriptures that states that you are going to Heaven, for Jesus said in John 3:13, that “no man has ascended to heaven. He also said, “Where He is you can not come, John 7:33-34; John 8:21, and John 13:33. So, if you can not go to Heaven, where will Jesus take His Church?
This commentary is full of errors which cannot be proven according to the Holy Scriptures. There is one thing about writing something down: it is there to be read and scrutinized. So when you make statements such as “going to Heaven”, you must defend that doctrine. Like the “Rapture”, a word that is not mentioned anywhere in the Scriptures of Truth, yet they defend it vigorously: For they speak doctrines of Devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron”, 1 Timothy 4:1-2.
When they speak of the Lord coming for His Church, is it before or after the Great Tribulation? I have heard conflicting reports on the so-called “Rapture”, some say before others, now, say after. If you want to know who wants to go to Heaven read Isaiah 14:12-14.
As for the Lord’s Congregation (Church), this is what He called the children of Israel, Exodus 12:1-3. The Lord is the God of Israel, Ezekiel 44:2. Israel is the Church (Congregation) and not that “church” that they say started on the Day of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. God’s Church has been in existence since Israel became a nation. The “Church” that they belong to, that started on the Day of Pentecost is the same one in Revelation 17:1-5.
