"Another Gospel" 
(the apostate church / heretic church) 
compiled by brother l. harrell 

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11

"the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23b-24


    "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)" (Galatians 1:1)
    "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8)
    "As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:9)
Approximately 1 billion people, 1/6th of the world's population, are members of a certain apostate church that prays to what they call "Mary, mother of Jesus". The apparition(s) that they worship teaches, and decrees things that are not what apostle Paul taught. Therefore, their doctrine qualifies as "another gospel". 

Outlined below are a few examples of the teachings they have received from their apparitions (not what apostle Paul or the other Apostles taught):

The apparition has stated that those who recite the rosary with devotion:

  • will receive signal graces,
  • will receive special protection and the greatest graces, 
  • will never be conquered by misfortune, 
  • will not die without the sacraments of the church, 
  • will be delivered from purgatory, 
  • will merit a high degree of glory in heaven, 
  • will obtain all they ask "Mary" while reciting rosary, 
  • the soul will not perish, 
  • are "Mary's" sons and brothers of Jesus Christ. 
For briefly, these are just a few of the proclamations made. Without question, this is not the gospel that the apostle Paul preached. (Try to find the rosary or purgatory in the bible.) The bible says:
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." (II Corinthians 11:13-14)
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Colossians 2:8)"

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind," (Colossians 2:18)

I can not find in the bible a nun, or a monk or a rosary.  However, I can find in the world a buddhist rosary, a buddhist nun and a buddhist monk.  So, who's gospel do these things come from?  (These are not the teaching of Christ, but of the devil).

If we pray to anyone or thing other than the Lord in Jesus' name, we would be following another gospel (see I Timothy 2:5 below).  "Mary" does not take our prayers to Jesus / God:
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; " (I. Timothy 2:5)

"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Colossians 3:17)

An “angel of light” speaking of things not found in scripture is received, but the operation of divine gifts is shunned as taboo.  This apostate church has since it's inception been against those who obey the gospel.

They continue to do whatever is in their power to stop those who have the Spirit of God. (Those with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance). The animosity is not surprising since unrighteousness is contrary to righteousness.
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3: 3)

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" (II Corinthians 6:14)

Gifts such as prophecy and divine healing follow those with the Spirit of God.  Most of the gifts are not present in the apostate church.  Often those in apostate churches will accuse those with the gifts of the Spirit of being of the devil.  We can tell by the word of God if the Lord has spoken through the prophets or not:
"When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy 18:22)
The book of Mark describes what signs follow those who are saved: 
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:16-18)
What these scriptures are stating can also be found in other parts of the bible:
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5)
"The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:" (1 Peter 3:21)
"For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people." (Isaiah 28:11)

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19)

"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." (James 5:15)

Perfection / Incapability of Erring:  Doctrine of an infallible "pope".  The inquisition of Galileo [Galilei] proves the truth or lack there of with this doctrine.


We must separate ourselves from ungodly men (such as the apostate church), and obey Acts 2:38 and live morally.


The apostle Paul taught the gospel outlined in Acts 2:38.

"Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.  When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.  And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."  (Acts 19:4-6)
"For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." (Jude 1:4)
"But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." (Jude 1:17-25)

"For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."  (II. Corinthians 11:2-3)    


Below are a few scriptures the false church disobeys regarding their "nuns" and "priests":
"forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:3 NKJV)

"But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.  And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.  Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.  For some have already turned aside after Satan.  (1 Timothy 5:11-15 NKJV)


"And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?"  ( II. Corinthians 6:15)


You can't be led by someone who is led by the enemy, and be in God's will.  The leadership of the largest "apostate church" admits having divine intervention from "Mary".  Just as members of the "Freemasons" / "Masons" / "Shriners" are led by the devil, so are those who submit to the leadership of the "apostate church".

If you have repented, been baptized in Jesus' name and filled with the Holy Ghost and attend an apostate church, need to immediately get into a fellowship that is in God's will. 

"But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.  Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."  (Matthew 15:13) 

"And how shall they preach, except they be sent?..." (From Romans 10:15)

"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.  For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."  (Romans 16:17-18)
 


Idol worship in an abomination:
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 26:1)


Graven images:  The Vatican has a statue of Greek sun god Apollo, called the Belvedered.  Is possession of idol against the Lord's will?

also the idol (obelisk) in "St Peter's Square".
