#1 – Going to the FATHER without JESUS
There seems to be a sudden burst of a religion/religions that promotes having a relationship with GOD, the Father, without going through Jesus. In fact this particular religion has a total disdain for Christ Jesus, but its followers boast of their direct connection to the Father without Jesus. Admittedly, this creed has formed the foundation of most religions outside of Christianity, so this in itself is not new. What in fact seems new though, is the deception that it presents. They actually call themselves ‘Christians’. This is outlandish to me, but it certainly confirms why God instructed my spiritual father during the C19 pandemic, to establish a distinction between Believers and Christians. The latter is now an over-reaching term that is being used by cults and other organized entities including the religion of Jehovah Witness. This is a return to the deception in the Garden of Eden – man wanting to dictate wrong/evil vs right/God’s way, without having God.
Jesus said, “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life No one comes to the Father except through Me.“(John 14:6)
I always thought that that scripture was way too plain to be misunderstood, but it certainly missed the knowledge base of the above-mentioned groups of people. In this case, it is to be expected because it is the Holy Spirit Who inspired the scriptures and teaches us all Truth (John 16:13). A scripture’s revelation requires the indwelling Holy Spirit. Therefore, we can’t really blame them because some of the very people in the Body of Christ, with the Indwelling Holy Spirit, fellowship, associate and promote the very ideology.
Jesus said in Mathew 5:13 – 16,
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Many have taken this scripture to exalt the good deeds in and of themselves above the Way, the Truth and the Life, as the route to the Father in Heaven, thereby making themselves out to be ‘God’. This is another arm of the religions which are purporting that they are in fellowship with God without Jesus – they actually call themselves ‘God’. These are all lies and impossibilities that are doctrines of devils . The fundamentals of being a disciple of Christ with the ability to do goods works is stated in John 15: 5,
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
Your good works without Jesus is dirty works and cannot glorify the Father. Similarly, any attempts to the Father God without Jesus is access to the father of lies, the devil. You see, the truth is, there is a father devil and there is a Father God Almighty. The former is the one who controls mankind who has not received the finished works of Jesus on earth and acknowledge Him as Lord and Saviour through the cleansing with His shed Blood. The Latter is the Father of those who are born again – washed in the blood of Jesus, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, by their choosing.
Truth #1 come alive in 2025 – Your opinion outside of God’s Way and Truth is not God and is not Godly and will never connect you to the Father in Heaven. If you belong to a religion that denies Jesus, then you are not of God, The Father’s Kingdom. But He sent Jesus so that you can be. He is fervently calling you – will you make the choice today?
