God is the Word. Therefore, it is only natural that we should center on the Word, use the Word as our standard, and judge the definition and standard of heresy by the Word. For the Word is our way, our truth, and our life. Yet Christianity, having abandoned the Word as the measure and standard to discern heresy, and instead using the man-made commandments of the doctrine of the Trinity—a humanly invented teaching that deceives the eyes and ears of believers—has given rise to the very grounds and reasons why heresies have continued to emerge endlessly until today. For this reason, Christianity has become one of the religions that has produced the greatest number of heresies.
The Word of Scripture is by no means lacking, as though it were a human book to which people must attach their own meanings and interpretations. God’s holy Word is to be kept, practiced, and obeyed—we must never add to it or take away from it. For in no case can human writings ever be perfect like the Word of God.
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.(Isaiah 34 : 16)
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3 : 16~17)
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.(Proverbs 1 : 2~9)
Thus, by placing their own ideas above the holy Word of God and justifying their own claims of being right, Christianity has added thought upon thought, turning itself into a disgrace. This disgrace of Christianity has already made this earth into a vast kingdom of heresies. Can grapes grow from an apple tree? Or can apples grow from a vine? How can the true tree of Christ bear the fruit of heresy? How can Rome’s church—called the Catholic Church—claim to be the church of Christ while worshiping a goddess under the pretense of the so-called ‘Holy Mother’? From the beginning, was it truly the tree of Christ, or was it a tree intended to worship a goddess by using Christ?
The Catholic Church, which created the doctrine of the Trinity, worships only in name and form the shell of Christ, but in reality places the ‘Holy Mother’ as a goddess to be served. And now, just as ancient Rome once worshiped many gods, their true nature is exposed—they have become the greatest heresy on this earth, opposing God and Christ. After the so-called Holy Mother, they now even worship the angel Michael. How then can this absurd heretical religion, which invented the Trinity, be called the center of Christianity? What kind of false religion exists in this world that takes the doctrines of a religion it itself calls heretical, and makes them the center and foundation of its own faith?
Is it not enough that they worship a goddess called the Holy Mother? Now they even deify the angel Michael! How can the Trinity, created by the heretical religion of Rome—the Catholic Church—be the true center of Christ and the standard of Christianity?
The very fact that Christianity has taken as its foundation and center the Trinitarian doctrine invented by a religion it itself condemns as heretical, is in itself a confession that it is heretical. Does this not clearly prove that they are heretics? How can those who claim to be centered on the Word call the Trinity—made by Rome, the greatest heresy on earth—a doctrine of Christ? No matter how good its content may seem, how can the Trinity—fabricated by heresy, adding words not found in the Word and omitting parts of the Word at will—be considered Word-centered? How can the true tree of Christ bear the fruit of heresy? And how can Christianity, which accepts the doctrines of heresy, ever be called the true religion of Christ?
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.(Matthew 7 : 15~23)
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.(Hebrews 6 : 4~8)
Can grapes grow simply because a branch has been cut and grafted onto an apple tree? Or if an apple branch is grafted onto a vine, will it bear apples? Even the order of nature itself teaches us otherwise. Those who claim to lead to God and to salvation, yet steal the tithes and offerings meant to feed the sheep and use them as means to fill their own power and selfish desires, are in fact leading the souls of believers to become adversaries and enemies before God. And what difference is there in this from a robber who, seeing the excessive corruption of another robber, leaves that den only to build another den in order to continue robbing?
Christianity, which came out pointing fingers at the corruption, depravity, murders, lies, and evils of Rome (the Catholic Church), has itself reached its limit. It has become filled with its own corruption, depravity, lawlessness, lies, and wickedness, so that it has now become one of the religions that has produced the most heresies upon heresies. How then can Christianity, which branched off from the heretical tree, ever be truly transformed? Is it not evident, then, that Christianity, by continually producing heresies upon heresies, has become one of the religions that has spawned the greatest number of heresies in the world?
When speaking of Constantine, the Trinity, or the Apostles’ Creed, Christianity calls Rome—the Catholic Church—Christian. But when speaking of Rome as the church that worships the Virgin, Christianity calls it heretical. What does this double standard mean? What does it reveal? Why does Christianity, which claims to be centered on the Word, instead teach and uphold as its very foundation the heretical Trinitarian doctrine invented by men? Why should the man-made doctrine of the Trinity take precedence over God, who is the Word? Believers with common sense, consider this! How can a religion that accepts the doctrines of heresy as truth be regarded as legitimate?
The Trinity existed about 1,500 years before the rise of Protestant Christianity, whose history based on Martin Luther and Calvin is scarcely 500 years old. How then can Christianity claim to be the originator of the Trinity? And how can it claim to be ‘Word-centered,’ while teaching as its standard the man-made commandment of the Trinity that does not exist in Scripture? Which comes first—God or man? Is the word ‘Trinity’ from man or from God? Does this mean the Trinity, made by man, is greater and higher than the Word itself? Such things must be discerned clearly and judged rightly. Thus the believers will have the opportunity to reflect on why they can never escape from the yoke of sin, endlessly repeating meaningless repentance and sin according to their own interests, and why, though they claim to believe in God, their faith bears no true fruit or evidence of a true Christian grounded in the words of Christ. And by this, they may avoid becoming a fruitless, tares-like faith that cannot help but lead to judgment and destruction!
A lifetime of repenting and reflecting according to personal gain and interests, yet always falling back into sin, trapped by evil habits, has left people unable to break free. They endlessly repeat empty repentance, unable to be born again. Though the Scripture says that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, these have no power, no evidence, no fruit. Instead of true signs grounded in the Word, there are only bizarre testimonies and grotesque manifestations—things never found in Scripture—imitations and mockeries of the Holy Spirit, which resemble the corrupt practices of idol worshipers. These false testimonies and false gifts defile the true gifts and Spirit of God, leaving them despised and ridiculed. Is this not a wicked generation and corrupt churches, destined for destruction, for whom the Day of Judgment awaits, when the wheat and the tares shall be separated?
Is it right to judge all things according to the Word of God? Or is it right to uphold man’s incomplete commandments and doctrines like the Trinity as the standard? Only by clearly discerning what is God-centered and what is Word-centered can one find the true way, bearing the fruit and evidence of salvation. Is not the Trinity itself merely a surface value of words and theory? The true purpose of tithes and offerings is to feed, serve, and care for the poor and needy sheep, making known the cross of love throughout the earth, so that believers may serve, cherish, and love one another. But the heretical Trinity was created as a pretext for stealing tithes and offerings—making them a tool for greed, rather than an instrument of love.
Rome instituted the Trinity with the declaration that ‘God, Christ, and the Spirit are one,’ and ruthlessly executed those who would not believe it. Without allowing even time for instruction, they slaughtered mercilessly, killing even children without distinction. The beginning of bloodshed in the name of Christianity began with the creation of the Trinity. All these things are recorded clearly in the life of Augustine, regarded as one of the greatest saints of Christianity. If you deny this, you deny Christianity itself, for Augustine, called the Father of the Church, was one of its greatest scholars and influencers. Though the simple formula of ‘God, Christ, and the Spirit are one’ may sound true on the surface, when examined with inner meaning it reveals contradictions born of human limitation, unfitting for the perfect truth of God’s Word. The Word is the revelation received by prophets from God Himself. The contradictory Trinity, full of human limitation, is not and cannot be the perfect Word of God. Why then has Christianity taken as its foundation an imperfect, heretical teaching like the Trinity?
Even common sense testifies against it. How can a son, simply because he resembles his father, be said to be the same as his father? The greater contains the lesser; the son is contained in the father. Likewise, Christ is within God. Though they may resemble each other perfectly, they are not one and the same. Surely there is the Father, and surely there is the Son. Are these not two distinct persons? (John 14:31; John 14:26–27; Matthew 10:32–33)
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.(Matthew 11 : 27)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.(Revelation 3 : 21)
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.(Matthew 26 : 39)
Another fundamental reason the Trinity is not right is the Word.
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.(Hebrews 7 : 1~3)
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.(Hebrews 5 : 7~10)
This is what Christ said: that He is of the order of Melchizedek—the King of Salem, the King of peace, who has neither father nor genealogy, neither beginning of days nor end of life, but remains a priest with the Son of God. According to this very record of Scripture, the Trinity is truly absurd. For Christ Himself clearly states that He is lower than Melchizedek. Therefore, if we go only by what is written here, it is not a Trinity but a ‘Quadrinity.’ In other words, since Melchizedek, who is greater than Christ, comes first, then together with God, Melchizedek, Christ, and the Spirit, it must rightfully and undeniably be a Quadrinity. Thus, the Trinity can only be false.
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.(Proverbs 8 : 22~31)
Moreover, the statement that David was the creator before the world, before the beginning and creation, and rejoiced with many sons of men, is proof that today’s ignorant and unlearned doctrine of the Trinity is incomplete and false. If one were to interpret God, the Spirit, and Christ rightly, it would be clearer to say ‘one essence, three manifestations.’ Furthermore, Christ is the firstborn Son seated at the throne on the right hand of God. On the left hand is Abraham, and at the left and right of them are the thrones of Isaac and Jacob. Can the term ‘Trinity’ truly be called the complete teaching of Scripture? I would like to ask once again.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.(Exodus 3 : 15)
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(Matthew 8 : 11~12)
The Trinity, with its outward claim of ‘God, Christ, and the Spirit are one,’ is nothing more than a surface pretext and shallow value. In truth, hidden behind the Trinitarian doctrine was Constantine’s secret scheme: a cunning plot and justification, calling for bloody purges, to legitimize the Roman Church he had established. At that time, Rome was bankrupt from constant wars; its military power was already divided into East and West, and signs of further fragmentation were emerging. Thus, Constantine recognized that extraordinary measures were needed. This was the moment Rome transformed from a military regime into a religious regime.
Even to this day, Catholicism and Christianity, which for thousands of years have enriched themselves by stealing tithes and offerings through the already-abolished rituals of the Law, have never revealed the truth. Instead, they teach that Constantine converted purely after receiving the vision of the cross and winning victory in battle. Yet this claim is false. The evidence is seen in how, for centuries, the tithes and offerings of Rome’s subject nations poured into the Vatican. If Constantine had truly converted, would he have dared to mercilessly delete and alter the holy Word of God, making the Bible so mutilated with omissions, errors, and corruptions that today the world ridicules it as foolish?
These deletions are clearly mentioned in the life of Augustine and in other writings. Why would a man who supposedly converted purely dare to remove the Word of God without fear? Could this be understood as sincere faith? The New Testament we have today was edited under Constantine’s command by his follower Eusebius, who compiled fifty volumes. As a result, not only were countless passages marked ‘omitted,’ but nearly two-thirds—about three times the current size—of the New Testament disappeared. This was Constantine’s version of conversion.
Instead of revealing the whole truth and guiding believers in the true way of salvation, teaching them the genuine truth of Christ, they created heretical standards according to their own desires. With words and theories, under the guise of absolute authority and absolute obedience, they declared any who disagreed to be children of Satan or antichrist, and through the Middle Ages countless believers were mercilessly slaughtered under the pretext of antichrist and witch hunts. At the center of this bloodstained tyranny was the Trinity. How, then, can such a Trinity, built on blood and words, be the center of Christ? Does not the absence of the cross of love at its center prove plainly that Christianity is not truly the church of Christ?
How will you bear the blood-guilt of the Trinity you now uphold, while recklessly condemning others as heretics by it? Is this not why, as one elder confessed, there are many churches but no true church of Christ, many pastors but no shepherds, many believers but no true Christians? Before condemning others with the doctrine of the Trinity, should you not first present clear and undeniable evidence of how it is truly centered on the Word? I also ask plainly: what does the Trinity have to do with salvation?
Is it not merely a title, advanced with words and theories, meant to deny the life of the true Christian who follows the cross of Christ’s love? Is it not a means to justify their corruption, as they serve God alongside the world and material wealth? In truth, the Trinity exists as a pretext to abolish the true purpose of tithes and offerings—which is to feed, care for, and provide for the poor and needy sheep—replacing them with a hollow excuse that elevates words and theories. Thus the Trinity was created not as the center of salvation, but as a cover to justify stealing tithes and offerings, and to replace the love of the cross with empty rhetoric.
Thus the doctrines and ideologies of Christianity have, without exception, abolished the example and model of feeding, giving, and caring for the sheep, and have instead compelled blind obedience to their own words and theories. In doing so, they have stolen the tithes and offerings—the very food meant to feed the sheep—and have used them as tools to fill their worldly power and selfish desires. The ideology created for this purpose is none other than the Trinity.
How long will you continue to profane the sacrifice and blood of the cross—the true example and model—by the heretical doctrine of the Trinity, which was fabricated as a pretext to steal the tithes and offerings meant to feed the sheep? How long will you deceive the eyes and ears of the believers, despise the holy will of God, and labor for larger churches with the tithes and offerings of the sheep to satisfy your selfish desires, as though it were the sacrifice of Christ and as though you were fulfilling the holy mission of God? How long will you test the abundant patience of God? Do you not realize that the word declaring that the dens of robbers will all be torn down in the end applies also to you? You who test God—should you not rightly be tested by God?
The blood-guilt upon you stretches from the blood of Abel to that of Christ and all His apostles, and to the countless millions slain under the banner of the Trinity. This guilt will return upon your own heads and rest upon your crown of the head. You who have presumptuously condemned others under the guise of the Trinity are the offspring of vipers, children of murderers, and murderers yourselves. Those who understand this meaning will surely receive it.
Therefore I warn once more those who invoke the Trinity: the very name of the Trinity carries the blood-guilt of millions and is a doctrine fabricated by heresy. God is love. Thus faith without the love of the cross is dead faith; it is the faith of churches, pastors, and believers unqualified to become the children of God. Therefore, all who exalt the Trinity profane the blood of Christ and dishonor the love of the cross. Their god, their word, and their faith are none other than the worship, doctrines, and ideologies born of corruption, abomination, double-mindedness, heresy upon heresy, falsehood upon falsehood, and presumption upon presumption—made by those who seek to serve God alongside the world and material gain.
Even the blood of Christ’s forgiveness of sins flows from the love of the cross. This is the love of God, for He desires to make us His children of love. The love of the cross is the holy nature of God, the way, the truth, and the life by which we may become His perfect children. Therefore, whoever abides in the love of the cross abides in God and in Christ. But apart from the love of the cross, when tithes and offerings—intended as the example and standard of love to feed, give, and care for the poor and needy sheep so that believers may cherish, honor, and serve one another—are stolen and used as a private treasury to satisfy selfish desires, and when worship becomes a hypocritical form built only on words and theory without even the pangs of conscience, then such worship, doctrines, and teachings, taught as though they were the very standard of Christ, are nothing more than the works of robbers. These corrupt acts have already exceeded all limits, becoming idolized and deified, and most churches today have used them to justify environments of absolute power and absolute obedience, making the people slaves and servants.
Contrary to the superficial phrase ‘God, Christ, and the Spirit are one’—the outward meaning of the Trinity—the true purpose behind Rome’s establishment of the Trinity was entirely different.
First, The Trinity doctrine was created as nothing more than an interpretation and pretext of words and theories, invented to rationalize the abandonment of the true example of true Christians—feeding, giving, and caring for the sheep through tithes and offerings, and practicing the love of the cross by which they cherish, serve, and care for one another. In other words, in order to steal the tithes and offerings, a justification and an object of worship were needed. Thus, by carrying forward and perpetuating the worship of the Law—which had already been abolished by the blood of the cross—they sought to rationalize, legitimize, and even deify it. And for this, they needed a pretext by which they could exalt sermons of words and theories rather than deeds and practice. That pretext was the invention of the Trinity doctrine.
The Trinity was created as a pretext to establish a form of worship already abolished—a worship of theft—so that tithes and offerings, meant to feed the sheep, might instead be used to satisfy their own selfish desires. By teaching that salvation and resurrection, which are truly attained by pursuing the love of the cross, can be gained simply by believing in their so-called Triune God or by merely serving their own religion and thus guaranteeing heaven unconditionally, they fashioned this doctrine as justification.
Second, the Trinity was created in order to abolish the true foundation of all the prophets and messengers of God, which is that they come according to the prophecy of the Word. By erasing this foundation, they sought to establish their own shepherds and legitimize their man-made religion. Scripture makes clear that every prophet and messenger comes according to the written prophecy of those who came before, and that they prophesy in accordance with it. Israel had long discerned and served prophets by this tradition. By destroying this foundation, they compelled people instead to submit to their own man-made customs and doctrines. It is for this reason that the teaching of reincarnation, the doctrine that prophets and even the wicked return to life to receive a fitting chance to repent, was deleted most heavily by Constantine. Reincarnation was the true biblical foundation testifying that prophets come into the world by the holy Word of God, and removing it provided the grounds for Rome’s religion to legitimize its own shepherds.
The record of Moses’ burning bush included the teaching that prophets are reborn, and also that the wicked are reborn to receive an opportunity to turn back. When Christ Himself taught about reincarnation, He did not cite examples from the Law, but pointed to the book of Moses’ Burning Bush, using it as the model. All the crowds who heard this teaching of reincarnation were astonished, as if hearing such a thing for the first time. This indicates that even in Christ’s day, portions of the Old Testament concerning reincarnation had already been deleted by Judaism.
Thus, some believers today, when they first hear of reincarnation, may wonder: ‘What does this mean? Is it not simply the Buddhist cycle of rebirth? Is this not heresy?’ But the truth is clear: the Old Testament had already been altered by the priests of Judaism for the sake of their worship of theft, and the New Testament was then altered by Constantine and the Roman Church on the same grounds. Reincarnation was deleted in order to remove every true foundation and testimony concerning the shepherds of God and Christ, so that they could instead elevate their own traditions, doctrines, and man-made teachings.
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.(Matthew 22 : 32~33)
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.(Luke 20 : 37~40)
Even though many passages were mercilessly deleted from Scripture, there still remain numerous direct and indirect testimonies showing that the prophets were reborn through the Word. For more detailed content, you may read what is written in the section on the doctrine of reincarnation in Christianity. When you study this teaching of reincarnation, you will also be astonished and exclaim in wonder, just as the multitudes in the days of Jesus were amazed when they first heard Him teach on reincarnation.
In the early church, all Christians believed in reincarnation based on what was written in the book of Moses’ Burning Bush (Luke 20:37–40). It was openly acknowledged as truth and universally accepted. But Constantine, using the pretext of the Trinity, condemned all who believed in reincarnation as heretics before God, and carried out merciless purges, slaughtering even little children without distinction. As a result, the book of Moses’ Burning Bush disappeared. Evidence of this is recorded in the writings of Augustine and in Catholic oral tradition.
The Trinity, with its claim that ‘God, Christ, and the Spirit are one,’ was created as the justification and pretext to eradicate, in one stroke, every Jewish tradition, foundation, and authority concerning the prophets—stretching back from the time of Abraham through the time of Moses. Its essence was not truth, but a political and religious tool designed to destroy the basis for all who taught reincarnation and all who upheld Abraham and Moses, branding them as heretics to be eliminated.
Third, the Trinity was also used to accuse even the Jews who believed in Abraham and Moses of being heretics, thereby forcing unconditional submission to their own religion. All who did not believe in the Trinity were labeled heretics, children of Satan, or offspring of the devil, and hundreds of thousands of believers were brutally killed, even into the Middle Ages. This is clearly recorded in Augustine’s writings and in ancient Catholic texts.
Ultimately, the Trinity was created as a pretext during Rome’s transition from military power to religious power, under the guise of ‘absolute authority and absolute obedience.’ It was designed to purge and eliminate any who stood in their way. Thus, the Trinity is a doctrine born of cunning schemes, used as a tool to amass power and wealth through the worship of theft, under the cloak of religion.
Such ideologies, created by past dictators, possessed only an outward pretext, while in reality they were nothing more than instruments of rule forged by the power of Rome. They are characteristics rooted in the very nature of man who pursues the world—Satan’s schemes and the devil’s familiar methods, used by every dictator. The pretext of a world where all people share equally was the seemingly noble ideology upheld by dictators who advanced communism. Countless people were deceived by its outwardly good meaning and purpose, and thus gave their support, only to end up as slaves and tools of dictators, meeting miserable ends. History is filled with such examples.
The pretext was the gospel and Word of Christ, pursued through the love of the cross that leads to salvation, and the shepherd who feeds and cares for the sheep. Yet in reality, what is set forth are interpretations and explanations that have nothing to do with salvation, arising from their own tastes, while only words and theories are put forward. The clever speech of mere talkers is presented as the spiritual food of the sheep, so that in words they serve the flock, but in reality most pastors make themselves into objects of rule and reverence, gradually being deified. This is the heretical doctrine, ideology, and commandment of Christianity, devised only to rationalize themselves as objects of service. Because the church, pastors, and religion have long prepared the conditions and environment of deification through tradition and custom, today countless churches and pastors have already been deified.
The Trinity is nothing more than a superficial idea of outward form and appearance, continually systematized and theorized by cunning men who merely imitated the abolished worship of the Law of Judaism—a worship of theft—already done away with through the worship of Christ’s love and His blood. By doing so, they have destroyed the true worship of Christ: the genuine worship that, through tithes and offerings, feeds, gives to, and cares for the poor and needy sheep, setting an example so that the saints may cherish, honor, and serve one another, and so that they may build the true temple of the heart—the divine nature—fitting for salvation in the love of the cross. Instead, the Trinity was established as the pretext of thieves, created for the purpose of abolishing true worship and further advancing and perpetuating their own worship of theft.
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 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 : 7~14)
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.(Isaiah 29 : 13~14)
Today all humanity and countless believers are deceived by the falsehood of the Trinity. It is a doctrine created by thieves who abused the holy name of God, of Christ, and of the Spirit. How can a religion or doctrine devised by ignorant and foolish men who dared to delete the very Word of God be called the temple of God or the holy Word of God? Do you truly believe that such audacious thieves, who deleted the sacred Scriptures, have entered heaven?
These are not merely thieves who steal tithes and offerings—they are robbers who destroy souls. Is not a robber one who even takes life? Using the worship of theft to satisfy their selfish desires, they have taught falsehoods, distortions, and hollow scholarship, leading countless souls to stumble. Such shepherds and such churches are robbers, mere dens of robbers, which is why the churches are rightly called dens of thieves.
Beloved, the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ belongs only to those who take up the cross, abide in the love of the cross, and live the life of Christ. Yet many, chasing after perishable things of this world, repeat meaningless repentance according to their own interests, justifying themselves with excuses that dull their conscience, until sin is treated lightly, or their hearts become hardened and bold in iniquity. Such faith does not bring life, but only want, weariness, and despair. Is it not time to turn back and examine yourselves? A faith that endlessly repeats repentance, while never escaping the yoke of sin, is not true rebirth. Can the so-called faith, tongues, prophecies, and gifts of such unregenerate religion be right? Why do the so-called fruits and evidences of the Spirit look the same as those of shamans and idol-worshipers who serve false gods?
Now is the time to test everything against the Word. Whatever is not in the Word—whether from Christianity, Presbyterianism, pastors, or teachers—must all be rejected, for it is heresy, an enemy, a hypocrite, a Pharisee, and antichrist.
Therefore, the sword of the Word is the measure that separates falsehood from truth; the Word is the mirror that discerns heresy from what is genuine. Even if it is the teaching and faith you have held to all your life, if it is not found in the Word, it must be cast away as heresy and antichrist. To believe, depend on, or claim anything that is not in the Word is to become an enemy and adversary of God, who is the Word; it is to be antichrist and heretical. God is the Word. Thus, the greatest heresy on this earth is every teaching, doctrine, and sermon that comes from human thought and not from the Word. No matter how good a sermon or how moving a message may seem, if it does not teach the wisdom of the cross of love, it is not the wisdom of God that leads to salvation, but an inflated leaven of the moment that perishes.
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.(Matthew 16 : 11~12)
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.(Proverbs 12 : 19)
They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneeded the dough, until it be leavened.(Hosea 7 : 4)
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!(Isaiah 10 : 1~2)
Truly, if the church, the altar, the worship, the faith, and the sermons you have trusted and depended on were genuine in the Word, you would not still be a slave to sin, proved by the fact that you repent yet turn back to commit sin again. Instead, you would have already broken free from the yoke of sin and become a Christian who pursues goodness and righteousness, living the life of Christ. You would not merely be a churchgoer, but one who bears the cross, follows the love of the cross, and sets the hope of Christ as your goal—turning away from the mire of sin produced by worldly desires, ideals, and ambitions that perish, and from a life driven only by self-interest and gain.
Today all churches and pastors alike claim and teach that they are ‘Word-centered,’ ‘God-centered,’ or ‘Christ-centered.’ For this reason, not only new believers, but even officers in the church who are convinced of their faith, cannot truly discern or distinguish which sermons are genuinely centered on God and on the Word. If the sermons you have been hearing were truly based on the Word and centered on the Word, you would not have become blind, unable to discern truth from heresy. Instead of preserving the essence of the Word, they have distorted, altered, and corrupted it, so that believers do not bear the beautiful fruit and evidence of God united with the love of Christ, fitting for salvation. Instead, they are left with things that cannot be found anywhere in Scripture—sorcery, divination, and occult practices boasted of by shamans and spirit mediums—now paraded as if they were the tongues of God, prophecy, and miracles. These distortions have become the standard and center of faith for countless believers.
You have been trained under the banner of ‘Word-centered,’ but in reality, it is the altered Word of heresy, with corrupted interpretations, false testimonies, and distorted sermons. That is why, when you encounter the Word of truth, your faith trembles, your roots are shaken, and you fall into confusion and doubt. This is inevitable, because you have not been grounded in true faith that trusts, relies on, and obeys the whole Word of God. Rather, you have only been conditioned by teachings, doctrines, and sermons born from heresy and corruption—teachings that attempt to serve God alongside the world and material gain. Therefore, you are merely a churchgoer, not a true Christian founded upon the Word, for you lack the beautiful heart, fruit, gifts, and testimony of God’s love in the cross that lead to salvation.
Such faiths not only stand opposed to the life of a true Christian that builds a beautiful heart worthy of salvation, but also have nothing to do with salvation at all. Instead, because they pursue perishable worldly and fleshly things—chasing only their own covetous desires, hopes, and ambitions for success—they cannot escape the yoke of sin, endlessly repeating sin according to their circumstances and interests. Thus they remain in a worldly life that cannot be born again, spending their whole lives repeating foolish repentance and sin, and misusing the Word as a tool to rationalize their own sins and their own faith.
Because they pursue a life of worldly values that are destined to perish, in order to rationalize their ceaselessly repeated sins they twist and reinterpret the Word, turning their own claims and thoughts into pretexts, fabricating forced excuses. By using the Word as a tool to rationalize their sins, they turn their own pride, self-assurance, and zeal into “faith,” into “the Word,” and into “God.” Such are today’s Christians.
As a result, all alike are blind, unable to see their own sinful state and foolish faith when measured against the Word. Thus heresies and corruptions arise ceaselessly. Because all attempt to serve God alongside the world and material things, they cannot discern heretical doctrines, sermons, and testimonies that misuse parables and wordplay to twist the Word. Instead, with a faith that picks and chooses according to their own tastes, they teach and learn not the Word-centered life but teachings centered on human ideologies, doctrines, and sermons.
In other words, both teachers and learners alike believe with the purpose and focus of desiring only their own worldly and fleshly hopes, happiness, satisfaction, and success—values destined to perish. For this reason, countless believers today have their eyes and ears blinded by selfish desire, unable to discern heresies, and so they are swayed to the left and to the right. Moreover, because there is no true shepherd who rightly leads the believers to discern heresies clearly, all believers judge and believe according to the self-centered standards they have learned. Thus “Word-centeredness” is nothing more than an empty shell, a hollow pretext. In reality, it has become a blind faith, where the sermons of mere talkers—pushing only heretical interpretations, ideologies, doctrines, words, and theories that stand against the Word and against God—are taken as the standard and center.
It is a foolish faith, being led by the blind while not even realizing that they themselves are blind. Thus, when they come face to face with the Word they had never seen before, their faith is shaken to its very root. Therefore, seek the true path that leads to salvation and to bearing the genuine fruit worthy of it.
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)
They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 17~22)
Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.(Lamentations 2 : 14)
The preaching and teaching of the true shepherd of Christ, who possesses the Spirit of genuine truth, lead believers out of the chains and yoke of sin and away from the path of sinners who, according to their interests, can only continue repeating sin. The true shepherd is the one who guides them onto the way of Christ, following the love of the cross, which alone is fitting to lead to true salvation.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.(Revelation 1 : 7)
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.(Matthew 24 : 64)
Do not the above words mean that on the Day of Judgment, those who persecuted and killed Christ will be reborn and will see Christ seated at the right hand of God as He returns to this earth?
Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.(Matthew 21 : 31)
Does this Word also mean that tax collectors and harlots, who should have been punished forever in hell, can enter heaven? Moreover, this was spoken by Jesus directly to the high priests and elders who persecuted and killed Him at that time. Then does this not mean that even the high priests and elders, though later than the tax collectors and harlots, could still enter heaven? Does this not mean, contrary to what you have believed, that it is not an eternal punishment in hell? If not, then what do these words mean??? Does it mean that one can move back and forth between hell and heaven? Yet the Scripture clearly says, as written below, that there is a great gulf fixed between heaven and hell, so that none can cross over from one side to the other. Then what indeed do these words mean???
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.(Luke 16 : 22~26)
Also, look at the following evidence concerning reincarnation that is found even in the Sacred Scriptures!
In the past, Christianity taught and acknowledged the doctrine of reincarnation (reincarnation in the Bible).
Regarding past lives, after the teachings of Jesus, the early church formally recognized the ideas of rebirth and reincarnation as part of its theology. Justin Martyr, who established the first Christian school in Rome around the second century A.D., taught reincarnation. Likewise, the Greek theologian Origen, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, and Clement of Alexandria also taught the doctrine of reincarnation.
In the fourth century, Emperor Constantine (ca. 280–337) legalized Christianity but decided to remove the references to reincarnation that had been included in the New Testament. After the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, all verses in the Gospels that hinted at reincarnation were completely deleted. Later, in the sixth century, the tyrant Emperor Justinian of the Eastern Roman Empire unilaterally declared reincarnation heretical. In 553, he convened the Second Council of Constantinople and condemned Origen and his followers, who had taught reincarnation, as heretics.
The emperor and his wife regarded the doctrine of reincarnation as a challenge to imperial authority and as an obstacle to their efforts to deify themselves. At that time, Origen’s teaching of reincarnation had already spread widely and was respected in the Western Roman Empire. For the council, Justinian invited 159 bishops from the East but only 6 from the West. The pope of that time, although present in Constantinople, refused to attend the council because the East and West were not equally represented, and afterward he never approved the condemnation of reincarnation or the excommunication of Origen.
Nevertheless, from the sixth century onward, merciless massacres and persecutions were carried out against sects that believed in reincarnation. Thus, within the Christian-dominated West, reincarnation disappeared—at least officially. Yet it did not vanish completely. It continued as the faith of groups condemned as heretical, was briefly revived as a topic of interest among intellectuals in the Renaissance, and then was forgotten until the late 19th century, when it resurfaced in the theosophical movement, which openly challenged traditional Christian doctrine.
Theosophists studied the doctrines of rebirth from Buddhism and Hinduism and sought to harmonize them with the Christian tradition in the West. Even among modern clergy, some have had a positive view of reincarnation, just as the early church fathers did. Cardinal Mercier of Belgium declared, ‘Although I do not personally believe in reincarnation, the doctrine of reincarnation does not contradict the essential teachings of the Catholic Church.’ Bishop Inge of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London said, ‘There is no contradiction between the doctrine of reincarnation and the doctrines of modern Methodism.’ Methodist pastor Leslie Weatherhead was also a supporter of reincarnation.
Among Western intellectuals, surprisingly many publicly confessed their belief in reincarnation. In ancient times, Plato, Pythagoras, and Plutarch in Greece, as well as the great Roman writers Virgil and Ennius, held to it. In more modern times, philosophers and writers such as Schopenhauer, Hegel, Voltaire, Emerson, Balzac, Hugo, Beethoven, Napoleon, Tolstoy, Blake, Browning, Whitman, Benjamin Franklin, and Henry Ford are all known to have believed in reincarnation.”
[From Young-Woo Kim, We Will Never Be Separated Eternally]
It would have been impossible for Christianity to become as vast as it is today without Emperor Constantine. Is this not why Rajneesh once remarked, ‘The founder of Christianity was not Jesus, but Emperor Constantine’? Yet Constantine is a great sinner who distorted the truth. Would not even Jesus Himself lament how His truth has been so twisted today?
Though it is said that all passages regarding reincarnation and past lives were deleted from the Bible, the book Past Lives and Reincarnation in the Bible by Doulos Deus C (real name: Chon Soo-Nam) shows that there are still verses which, though hidden, survived the purge.
The author Doulos Deus C, being himself a pastor educated in conservative Christian theology, confessed in the preface that he wrote this work knowing that many other pastors would respond with anger. But he insisted that the holy truth of God must never be polluted or distorted by human doctrines.
Let us consider part of his words: ‘Christians today believe without doubt in heaven and hell in the afterlife, and in the existence of the life to come, but they categorically deny the existence of past lives. Yet in this world, there is no effect without a cause, and no tree without roots. Because there are past lives, there is a place to which we go; because there are past lives, there is the present life and the life to come. And yet Christians close their eyes to this self-evident truth. Even more shocking is that the denial of past lives comes from the churches themselves—while God clearly speaks of past lives through the Scriptures.’
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.(Malachi 4 : 5~6)
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.(Matthew 11 : 13~15)
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.(Matthew 17 : 11~13)
The above passage from Malachi is God’s promise, spoken through the prophet Malachi to His people, that He would send the prophet Elijah again to turn their hearts—hearts separated from God because of sin—back into one with Him. Yet in the Gospel of Matthew, the words Jesus spoke to His disciples declare that, just as God had promised through Malachi, Elijah the prophet—whom God said He would send again—had already come before them in the body of John.
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.(Job 3 : 11~19)
When trials and suffering came upon Job, we see him indirectly grumbling against God, bitterly regretting that he had been born into this world. Job laments that he did not die in his mother’s womb, and that even if he had been born, had he not suckled at his mother’s breast (but died), he would now be lying in peace in his former life. He longs for that former state, saying that he would be at rest together with kings and counselors who had lived in that place.
Job also says that if he had never been born into this world, he would be with those who miscarried, or with infants who never saw the light of day. Furthermore, Job describes the world before birth, where the wicked cease from troubling, where the weary are at rest, where the prisoners hear not the voice of the oppressor, where the small and the great are there alike, and where the servant is free from his master.
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.(Jeremiah 1 : 4~5)
The above passage declares that God knew Jeremiah before He formed him in the womb, and that before he came forth out of the womb He set him apart and appointed him as a prophet to the nations. Among these words, ‘before you came forth from the womb’ refers to Jeremiah’s present life, since it is after his life had already been conceived. But ‘before I formed you in the womb’ clearly refers to a previous life, because it speaks of the time before Jeremiah’s life was conceived in his mother’s body.
In other words, ‘before I formed you in the womb’ means before a seed had even been conceived in the body, testifying that Jeremiah already existed before his life was conceived in his mother’s womb. This means that God had already known Jeremiah in his former life, and even before he came forth from the womb, He had set him apart and appointed him as a prophet among the nations.
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever…. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.(Ecclesiastes 1 : 4, 9~10)
Through the above passage, God clearly speaks of the former life and reincarnation of mankind. Reincarnation, as reality itself shows, is the cycle in which one generation passes and another comes. It is the returning of a soul that once departed from this world, and the departing again of the soul that has returned. Just as a man changes his garments, so the soul that existed in a former life puts on a new body and is born again in this life, and the soul that exists in the present life will be born again in the life to come.
In this way, God declares that there is nothing new under the sun: what exists now already existed in the former generation—that is, in the former life—and what exists in the present will exist again in the future.
‘Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.’ Then the Jews said to Him, ‘You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?’ Jesus replied, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am’ (John 8:56–58).
If even prophets such as Elijah (John), for the completion of their spirit, return through reincarnation, then is it not ignorance—born of arrogance and of not knowing the spiritual world at all—for common men like us to claim that we will enter heaven after only a single life?
