I love your words, Lil_Lamb! God bless.... so true!

Dear Friend, you say this religion is false doctrine, and yet I wonder what you consider to be a true one? Many of us, and I believe I speak for us all, have many different beliefs and ideas. To blatantly disrespect other's beliefs by openly condemning and pretty much saying, "your wrong", isn't that going too far? How do you hope to win hearts and souls that way? Should we not follow Christ's example by doing as He did, and not as the world does?
The pharisees and scribes were constantly telling the gentiles they were doomed and wrong and constantly condemning their belief system. Even in Acts 15:1 "Certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethen, "unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you can't be saved." If it wasn't one thing, it was another. Always the condemnation, and oppression put upon the people. Always rules and traditions to be followed before they could be saved. But when Christ died, that heavy curtain was ripped in two!!!! (praise God!) Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." The Inner Sanctuary now was open. No longer could only the high priest enter it, but ALL the people could.
My point... it is not right to condemn anyone for their beliefs. NO matter what it is. Bringing them to Christ Jesus to be saved is whats important. Not condemnation.
Think of how the gentiles must have felt....
Here comes Christ, and for the first time in their entire existence, here was someone who did not put them down. He sat with the sinners and the tax collectors. He called them to repentance, and to believe on Him! He never put down their beliefs and or called out their sin. He forgave them, and loved them.
There was NO condemnation in Christ Jesus.

What if you said you were Catholic, and I said yours was a false doctrine, would it not be a true mark of disrespect to you?

God is the author and finisher of the faith. He came not to condemn the world but to save it. The Pharisees and scribes had horrible traditions they followed, and did horrible things you and I can't even fathom, yet Christ did not call them on their doctrine, so much as their actions. They were hypocrites. Teaching one thing, and doing another. In Matthew 23:3 Christ said "Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do NOT do according to their works; for they say, and do not do."


God's children are in EVERY religion, and in every faith, of every color, race, creed, and sex. He does not play favorites. He loves us all. And in the last days, he will call his children out of Bablyon, that great harlot, and many people from any beliefs and doctrines will heed that call and come out.

Also Remember Revelation 12:11 "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives to the death.

We're called to spread the gospel, not to condemn. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

I don't know about any one else here, their personal walk with Christ? And there is NO attempt to reqd [anyones] mind by me! And the [thread is about false doctrines]! All SURELY are understanduing Matt. 7 BROADWAY ones that My Master [DOCUMENTS]?? And these Rev. 17:3-5 verses below surely are very clear to read??

OK: Are we saying that we are to be in 'membership' with this OPEN DOCUMENTED STUFF & ROBBING GOD BY SUPPORTING IT?? And all the while 'PREACH' THAT THIS IS LOVING CHRIST???

[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Here is a list of false doctrines and their descriptions. You will recognize these floating around this board. This is less a commentary post from me and more of something you can spot and be aware of that stems from the root of false teachings. Hence, FALSE DOCTRINE. Test EVERYTHING against what you see people say and bring up, especially when it is not from the Bible directly or stems from the heart of another "religion" such as mormonism or jehova's witness. Be aware and know.

I pray to Jesus people will not be blinded regarding False Doctrines.
And in His name may it be so.

This is done in Christ's love so that you will recognize and be aware thus becoming wise in it, which we all, including myself need to be better at:

JEHOVA'S WITNESS

Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings.
Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:

Taking verses out of their immediate context.
Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.
Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
Changing the meanings of words.
Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
Adding to the Word of God.

The Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be Christians because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think they are the only true church on earth. Yet, they deny the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith.
The Jehovah's Witnesses are discouraged from looking into Jehovah's Witness history or old Watchtower literature which is replete with contradictions, altered doctrines, and false prophecies. Instead, they are indoctrinated repeatedly against basic Christian doctrines (Trinity, deity of Christ, etc) and into the notion that they alone are the true servants of God and that all others are either in "Christendom" or simply unbelievers.
Primarily, the Jehovah's Witness organization is a mind control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in "donations" to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.

"Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible." The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967. p. 587.
The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, sell a multitudinous amount of literature, and expand its grip into the lives of its members and their families.

It is a non-Christian cult.


Mormonism

The reason Mormonism is not Christian is because it, like any other cult, denies one or more of the essential doctrines of Christianity. Of the essential doctrines (Jesus is God in flesh, forgiveness of sins is by grace alone, and Jesus rose from the dead physically), Mormonism distorts two of them: the person of Jesus, and His work of salvation.
Mormonism teaches that God the Father has a body of flesh and bones (D. & C. 130:22) and that Jesus is a creation. It teaches that he was begotten in heaven as one of God’s spirit children (See the Book, Jesus the Christ, by James Talmage, p. 8). This is in strict contrast to the biblical teaching that he is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14), eternal (John 1:1, 2, 15), uncreated, yet born on earth (Col. 1:15), and the creator all (John 1:3; Col. 1;16-17). Jesus cannot be both created and not created at the same time. Though Mormonism teaches that Jesus is god in flesh, it teaches that he is "a" god in flesh, one of three gods that comprise the office of the Trinity (Articles of Faith, by Talmage, pp. 35-40). These three gods are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. This is in direct contradiction of the biblical doctrine that there is only one God (Isaiah 44:6,8; 45:5). See Trinity for a correct discussion of what the Trinity is.
Because Mormonism errors in who Jesus is, salvation (the forgiveness of sins) does not occur and the Mormon is still in his sins. Christians are saved from their sins and judgment by putting their trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins. But, faith is only as good as the object in which it is placed. The Mormon Jesus is not the one of the Bible, even though they call him Jesus, say he died for sins, and was born in Bethlehem. The Mormon Jesus does not exist. It is the nature of Jesus that is the issue. Jesus must be God in flesh, (second person of the Trinity) not "a" god in flesh who is the brother of the devil. He must be uncreated, not created. He must be the creator (Col. 1:16-17). This is who the true Jesus really is: God, creator, uncreated, not the brother of the devil.
Mormon theology teaches that god used to be a man on another planet, that he became a god by following the laws and ordinances of that god on that world, and that he brought one of his wives to this world with whom he produces spirit children who then inhabit human bodies at birth. The first spirit child to be born was Jesus. Second was Satan, and then we all followed. The Jesus of Mormonism is definitely not the same Jesus of the Bible. Therefore, faith in the Mormon Jesus, is faith misplaced because the Mormon Jesus doesn't exist.
Mormonism teaches that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross itself (and receiving it by faith) is not sufficient to bring forgiveness of sins. It teaches that the forgiveness of sins is obtained though a cooperative effort with God; that is, we must be good and follow the laws and ordinances of the Mormon church in order to obtain forgiveness. Consider James Talmage, a very important Mormon figure who said, "The sectarian dogma of justification by faith alone has exercised an influence for evil" (Articles, p. 432), and "Hence the justice of the scriptural doctrine that salvation comes to the individual only through obedience" (Articles, p. 81). This contradicts the biblical doctrine of the forgiveness of sins by grace through faith (Rom. 5:1; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9) and the doctrine that works are not part of our salvation but a result of them (Rom. 4:5, James 2:14-18).
To further confuse the matter, Mormonism further states that salvation is twofold. It maintains that salvation is both forgiveness of sins and universal resurrection. So when a Mormon speaks of salvation by grace, he is usually referring to universal resurrection. But the Bible speaks of salvation as the forgiveness of sins, not simple universal resurrection. Where Mormonism states that forgiveness of sins is not by faith alone, the Bible does teach it. Which is correct? Obviously, it is the Bible.

New Age Movement

The New Age movement has many sub-divisions, but it is generally a collection of Eastern-influenced metaphysical thought systems, a conglomeration of theologies, hopes, and expectations held together with an eclectic teaching of salvation, of "correct thinking," and "correct knowledge." It is a theology of "feel-goodism," "universal tolerance," and "moral relativism."
In the NAM. Man is central. He is viewed as divine, as co-creator, as the hope for future peace and harmony. A representative quote might be: "I am affected only by my thoughts. It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear."


REFERENCE THIS WHEN YOU FEEL UNSURE WITHIN YOUR SPIRIT ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE READING

The truth is that all groups have or at least had some form of error or false doctrine in their teachings; the problem is that when the false doctrine is on our part, more often than not we cannot see it. It is far easer to see faults doctrine in others than the faults that's in us.... Also, it is very possible that we might be wrongfully accusing a group of teaching false doctrine, when it might be us who is teaching false doctrine… hence the reason why Jesus said do not judge your brother.

However, there are some fundamentals that a person who is truly of God would know and live by. But remember, God can do the impossible....God can open the mind of an entire group, causing them to repent of any false doctrine that they might have. So I would advise, rather than putting labels on people, it would be more productive to pray that God might open their spiritual eyes….who knows He might just show you that you are the one in error...if that's the case.

Here is a list of false doctrines and their descriptions. You will recognize these floating around this board. This is less a commentary post from me and more of something you can spot and be aware of that stems from the root of false teachings. Hence, FALSE DOCTRINE. Test EVERYTHING against what you see people say and bring up, especially when it is not from the Bible directly or stems from the heart of another "religion" such as mormonism or jehova's witness.

New Age Movement

The New Age movement has many sub-divisions, but it is generally a collection of Eastern-influenced metaphysical thought systems, a conglomeration of theologies, hopes, and expectations held together with an eclectic teaching of salvation, of "correct thinking," and "correct knowledge." It is a theology of "feel-goodism," "universal tolerance," and "moral relativism."
In the NAM. Man is central. He is viewed as divine, as co-creator, as the hope for future peace and harmony. A representative quote might be: "I am affected only by my thoughts. It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear."
