SATANS PLOT FOR AMERICA: SEPERATE THE CHURCH
America was a growing nation. God had blessed the founders and had begun a new work in a new land. The Holy Spirit had few problems it seemed in this land built on Gods principles. Now the people had a place to worship God freely without persecution or distraction. It seemed they had built a bedrock foundation to carry out Gods plan without a possibility of a government of one religion determining what they could do within themselves. They were free to teach whatever they desired.
This is where Satan steps in. The Church of the early 1800s had one basic doctrine with little variations between a few group of what we call denominations. Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians were the majority of the congregation holding basically the same beliefs. Less than 1 percent were Catholic, the Church they had fled from in England. Then through the freedoms they had new beliefs starting sprouting up.
Joseph Smith began what we know as Mormonism in 1820. He claimed to have found new scriptures that proved Jesus came to America and gave the people a new book to compliment the bible that we all use. Of course no one ever saw these writings on tablets as he had proclaimed as they had mysteriously gone to heaven. Joseph Smith claimed no church had true doctrine so God gave them his true church. Mormonism had begun.
Jehovahs witness began in 1879 with the production of a pamplet called the watchtower.
They claimed that only 144,000 souls would be saved and they they had to work to gain this position. There diligent work has produced one of the largest religions in the United States because of the 144,000 principle.
Pentecostal Charismatic movements began around 1901. This church taught that a seperate work had to be shown to gain access to the Holy Spirit. This teaching made them more holy because they were seeking what God had taught, so they said. The evidence of this Baptism of the Spirit they called it was speaking in tongues. They claimed this is what happened at Pentecost so it is what God requires of all believers to seek.
The Word of faith movement began around 1965 and its main point went even further away than the Pentecostals. Not only do they teach the baptism in tongues but also teach we have all authority as Jesus did in that we can command things instead of having to ask through Christ in prayer and that we are suppose to become rich by our faith.
Modern dispensationalism began by a man named Darby in the early 1800s who believed the Church and Israel were seperate covenants and had seperate purposes by God. To prove this, Darby taught that the 70 week prophecy of Daniel was split and that the last week will not be fulfilled until the last 7 years of this dispensation of time. He also had to teach the church was a mystery from the old testament and not the fulfilment of the new covenant promised to the Israelites that the gentiles would be a part of. This is also how the secret rapture teaching was introduced in America in which people such as Hal Lindsey and Tim Lahaye have popularized.
Satan through such teachings has undermined the Church and has caused the church to be very weak in its power to influence our culture today. Having so many different beliefs has demoralized the nation and caused people to not take the Bible we know and love seriously.
Not only that but being able to get saved in a Mormon or Jehovahs Witness church is almost impossible since Jesus is not taught as the deity that we know he is as the God and creator of us all. Catholicism also in the 1800s grew from more people migrating over here from Europe which also has watered down the Church by its teachings that take the power from Christ and gives it to the Church leaders and Mary. Dispensationalism, which is a basic teaching now in all main denominational churches due to the colleges being founded in America in the early 1900s has also kept us from biblical truths. Due to Schofields teachings which was accepted by college founders in the early 1900s, which were the teachings Darby passed down, religious colleges pushed this doctrine. Satan has pushed covenant theology so far in arears that very few people not only believe in the fulfilment of the new covenant in which Christ implemented at the Lords supper to the apostles but they dont even realize there was a promise in the first place. The whole bible evolves around the new covenant fulfilling the old but this doctrine has been washed under the tides of dispensationalism claiming it to be an end time prophecy. This is a main reason why the bible is so hard for evangelicals to understand because they are taught to look at the word in a particular light which perverts the fluidness of how God wrote the scriptures. Its one of Satans greatest victorys because by making the word hard to understand, people are driven from reading it, therefore changing very little lives within our churches.
Charismatics and the Word of faith movements are now grounded in our culture mainly through television since it has the most eye candy of all the religions. People doing physical things such as playing healer or speaking in unknowns utterances intrigue people to seek what they have. The get rich quick teaching of the Word of Faith teachers also entices followers. Of course the Word teaches us that those that teach gain is godliness (1 Timothy 6:5) should be avoided and that the sign gifts faded with the Apostles (Hebrews 2:1-4).
Because of seperation instead of unity, the body of Christ will continue to be weak in our country unless God brings us together or we are utterly destroyed like the romans and jewish nation of the past. We as true believers of the word should teach against these false beliefs so the light can shine to men that they may have an opportunity to repent. Remember, when it comes to Gods word, silence as his ambassadors is our biggest sin.
