This writing is from excerpts found in the book, “Division Among Christians:Disregarding God ́s Word,” by Ronald E. Matteson. Christianity was meant to be the worshiping of God, The Almighty, through Jesus Christ, by use of HEAVENLY words, Heavenly wisdom, and Heavenly understanding. Christianity has been moved from unity toward division by the influx of certain WORLDLY influences, and WORLDLY desires. In the early days of Christianity, the movement of division was due to the actions of some Christian humans who claimed that their leader was the, (a supposed,) actual visible god almighty on earth, and that salvation could take place only in their group and only under their leader. In return for a donation to the group, there came an offering of forgiveness of all debts due to sin, (the same debts God had already forgotten about,) also appearing was an implication of, (supposed,) salvation. Some worldly words, worldly desires, and worldly interests, of the group, caused the over-writing of some true Heavenly words from GOD’S MOUTH, and this action was defended by the word “tradition.” When some of the group’s priests were exposed to having homosexual relationships, it was possibly found necessary to soften the embarrassment by holding that the priests were tempted beyond the priest’s control, and that “the priest’s sexual actions were NOT SINFUL, in and of the priest’s behavior.” The group considers SAME GENDER sexual temptations, and acts as not sinful,(Homosexuality and Roman Catholicism, Wikipedia Encyclopedia). The group’s conclusion is DISCRIMINATORY when they compare sexual temptation and drive found in non-homosexuals, to the sexual temptation and drive found in homosexual’s. Only God, The Almighty, the creator of humans, is able to JUSTLY COMPARE sexual, temptations, and drives, found in both the homosexual, and in the non-homosexual. The group has concluded that homosexual temptation, and drive is much greater than non-homosexual temptation, and drive. Therefore, the homosexual’s actions are NOT sinful, but the non-homosexual’s actions are sinful. This unjust conclusion is due to worldly wisdom. The group has not relied on God’s applicable Heavenly words which denounce homosexual activity. GOD SAID, "One man must not lie with one other man, as he would lie with a woman for this is a hateful thing. Any man who does this must be CUT OFF FROM MY PEOPLE." (PRIESTS are INCLUDED,) Leviticus 18: 22, 29. The group’s worldly opinion concludes that God’s COMPASSION will either resolve the homosexual’s behavior, or on judgment day God will FORGIVE those displaying such homosexual actions since their acts are not sinful. Words from the MOUTH OF GOD, The Almighty, will not support any of the group’s above-mentioned conclusions. Now making an appearance are certain Bishops from various Protestant Denominations, who follow this same homosexual subject matter, and lead some of their flock down the evil path. The Bishops, more than likely, at some time in the past, have referred to the instigators as being worldly, yet the Bishops accept the instigator’s worldly view on homosexuality. DIVISION WITHIN the various denominations is on an INCREASE, and with no end in sight. The time has arrived when certain church members are beginning to leave their present denomination, and seek a denomination which, without a doubt, follows God’s true word. Remember that one does not enter the Kingdom of God because one belongs to a given-named denomination. Jesus Christ said, “will there be any, (heavenly,) FAITH on earth when I return,” Luke 18: 8. One, including those involved in homosexual activity, should now try to gain the necessary understanding as to believe at least some of the true heavenly words which claim that NOT ALL OF US WILL REMAIN IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS TO BE SAVED, Matthew 22:14; Luke 13: 23- 27; Romans 9: 27. The more disgusting of recent events is caused by some Christian leaders who CONSPIRE, and appr

The Bible is the word of God. In Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, author C.L. Chapman helps Christians understand and embrace the life messages and lessons contained in the Bible. Delivering timely information, this guide is divided into two books. The first book, On Defense, discusses how to discern the difference between sound Biblical information and erroneous misinformation. It illustrates both the errors and the intended misinformation about the Bible and its contents and demonstrates how to deal with both the misinformation and those who spread it. The second book, Reaching Forth, explains how to glean the basic information needed to grow, mature, and profit spiritually from the Bible and its message in order to become both victorious and fruitful in the Lord. Chapman teaches that the Bible does not need decoding; it only needs to be understood and its message embraced. It is the word of God that produces life, health, peace, victory, prosperity, deliverance, and abundant blessings for believers even in these tumultuous end-times.

"Divide And Conquer..." is a study in "rightly dividing the word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). The study demonstrates the diametric opposition between the Law program that the Nation of Israel entered into with God, and God's response to her generations of rebellion to the benefit of all mankind who choose surrendering faith over their own works of righteousness for salvation. There is only futility and confusion that believers suffer from when they try to apply the program and promises from a different people to their lives. What an unfortunate blow to one's faith it is to feel as though God is not answering their prayers, to feel like they cannot understand the Bible, and to feel like something is wrong with them. But most damaging is that the love they may have had for the Holy Scriptures at one time diminishes as they struggle from a weak understanding. God Himself fully intends that the excellency of His power work in our inner man through the right understanding of His Word.

With clear, compelling logic bolstered by countless Scriptural confirmations, Fr. John MacLaughlin here considers the oft-heard claim that it doesn't matter what Christian denomination you join, so long as you're sincere. Formally known as Indifferentism, this view has in recent centuries taken deep root among Christians. Indeed, indifferentism is the enemy not only of Protestantism and Catholicism, but of Christ Himself, who revealed to His apostles scores of truths about Himself and the way of salvation, never encouraging them to pick and choose among those truths. Not only then, argues Fr. MacLaughlin, is one Christian denomination not as good as another; embracing the wrong one can lead a good-hearted soul into utter unbelief, jeopardizing his salvation. For this reason, Fr. MacLaughlin devotes the second half of this immensely popular book to delineating for readers the two fundamental characteristics that will ever and always be found in the one Church that Christ founded and to which he intends all men and women to belong. Among the things you will learn here: How indifferentism threatens your salvationWhere Christ forbids preaching some doctrines while ignoring othersThe two marks the of the true church delineated by Christ HimselfDenominational lethargy: how sticking with the Faith you were born into can violate the First Commandment . . . and risk your salvationDecrees of the Council of Jerusalem (ca. 50 a.d.): proof that the apostles themselves denied that one Christian faith is as good as anotherHow consideration of indifferentism draws inquirers to the true churchHow the profusion of Protestant sects reveals the need for a final authorityThe universality of the True Church: lt existed already at Pentecost, before the Church spread beyond Jerusalem (and one Church has that very same universality today)The religion revealed by Christ: In its essentials, it's clear, definite, unchanging.
