,- - In this "STP" under "Organization and Purposes," I find, to my
/ incredulous amazement, the following, MADE BINDING ON GOD'S MINISTERS
-- (not by Christ or by me, but by those unauthorized.)
"...this recognition of need for refinement and the invitation
for criticism" (Satan's intellectual poison) "should not be mis
interpreted. It does NOT mean" (emphasis mine) "that the doctrinal
statements, overviews and expositions included here can be followed
or ignored by ministers and members as they see fit••••these papers
supercede individual opinions, out-of-print publications, articles
and booklets" (including some containing VITAL truths inspired by
Christ through His apostle), "and past teachings and earlier under
standings."
This was a vicious and subtile attempt to nullify certain BASIC
TRUTHS God had inspired through His apostle, and to substitute the
UNAUTHORIZED academic leaven Satan managed to incorporate in this "STP."
It continued: "These papers are therefore authoritative in their
present form" (referring to the contents of the "STP").
Brethren, BY AUTHORITY OF THE LIVING CHRIST I HEREBY OFFICIALLY
MAKE THIS ENTIRE "STP" NULL AND VOID.
Ministers are now COMMANDED, by authority of Jesus Christ, to
remain FIRM on the teachings and truths God inspired through His apostle.
While it may be that some or even most of this "STP" is in confor
mity to those original teachings, through God's apostle, some are not.
/ · =11 erefore I declare the entire "STP" null and void until up-dates or
� uthorized corrections, approved by me, can be produced•
. Much is said about "THE CHURCH" having power to bind and to loose.
That argument is based on Matthew 16:18-19. Read it in your own Bible.
TO WHOM did Christ give power to bind and to loose? NOT THE CHURCH
AS A COLLECTIVE VOTING BODY. God's government is from the TOP DOWN -
NOT democracy!
Note it: Jesus is speaking: "And I say unto thee, Thou art Peter,
and upon this Rock (Christ) I will build my church and the gates of
the grave shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee
(PETER, chief apostle, not the Church), the keys of the Kingdom of
heaven: whatsoever THOU (Peter, not the Church) shalt bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever THOU (Peter) shalt loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Brethren, I have not taken this responsibility lightly. The
apostle is NOT authorized to alter, change, bind or loose whatever he
personally desires
but ONLY that which, with His knowledge of GOD'S
WORD, and the MIND of God, and God's attitudes and ways, WOULD BE
bound in heaven.
In the 15th chapter of Acts, a disputed matter from the church
at Antioch was brought to the headquarters Church (because PETER WAS
THERE) for decision.
