“The Christian Church. The Church is the Body of Christ. Its members belong to Christ’s new humanity and are called and sent to live in the world in the power of the Spirit, worshipping God, confessing His truth, proclaiming the Good News of Christ, supporting one another in love, and giving themselves in sacrificial service to others, especially those in need. Its great mission is to make disciples of all nations and to equip the saints for service and good works.” -Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics

“As to this organization called the church, man has had nothing whatever to do in shaping it in any way. All man has ever had to do with it was to accept it as it was made by the Lord himself. This church is perfectly organized even to detail governing the actions of all its members. Its appointed seasons of worship are all appointed. The ministry with all other gifts needed in its government and service is all provided for. The mind that guides this organization and service is divine. It needs no constitution, or by-laws, that are not given in the Bible. It has no committees to nominate its officers or plan for its finances. The same laws that governed Adam and Eve govern each member today.” -The Remnant of Israel

The Church Deceived “Man was to take dominion over the planet but Satan has challenged mankind whenever he attempts to accomplish God’s plan. Our churches and our government are cooperating with Satan and his plan. If the Church teaches that we have a Caesar and government is a higher power, it is teaching Satanic Anti Christ doctrine. The Church was bribed by vote stealing politicians with a financial bonanza if they would cooperate with government. A Church that incorporates and accepts a tax exempt number will have accepted a bribe. Great sums of money pour into the coffers of the Church so that people can buy favors and have high standing in the Church. The tax deduction allows the giver to have his cake and eat it too. The Church and State now control most of the wealth in this world and that means they have dominion. In the United States of America the wealth of the yet unborn has already been spent!”

Deceiving and being deceived: The Church “we have been deceived by evil men and impostors into believing we don’t need God.”
“Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: ‘Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!’?
