Everyone on earth is born into a certain faith or religion, and most of them remain therein to the end, without giving a thought to search whether what they believe and trust in is right or wrong. They do not know the one and only valid guideline, the absolute of the word of God. Generally it is accepted that everyone remains with the inherited tradition. Also many who practise their religion do not wish to be bothered with Jesus Christ and biblical subjects. A growing number of people come to the conclusion that they are being deceived and lied to, in politics and in religion, be it with or without God. The reason for this attitude is found in the different religions themselves. Obviously most of the people are under the impression that their spiritual leaders will do everything for them and guide them right. From their birth to their death-bed, rituals and ceremonies are administered without ever having heard the salvation message, without the opportunity to personally experience the salvation and find peace with God.

The religious denominations with their organised structures are no exception. All of them have maintained an outward appearance of godliness, but now they must be given the »Word-test«, they have to be compared to the only valid and proven standard of the early apostolic Church. The moment of truth has arrived. It is not enough to refer to Christ, the apostles and the Bible. All churches, even the smallest fellowships, use Bible references, which they make fit into their own concepts. The entire process is then called »unity in plurality«. In fact, Christendom in its traditional form of today has nothing in common with the original Church of Jesus Christ. Also the Roman Catholic Church does not originate with Christ and Peter, as some think and teach, but came gradually into existence since the days of Constantine and the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. in the »Imperium Romanum«. Only over the course of time the so-called »state-church« became an organisation with its hierarchy. The first centuries passed without any pope or state church. In the year 380 the Roman Caesars Theodosius and Gratian put an end to the common religious freedom. One year later, at the Council of Constantinople, general »Christianity« was declared to be the »state religion«, which was obligatory for all citizens in the Roman Empire.This process was completed by the East Roman Caesar Justinian (527-565) who made the priests civil servants.

The same Bible is being interpreted in hundreds of different ways, even today, in the tradition of the church fathers. Instead of staying with the original words of revelation, which were the divine guideline of the original Christianity, they were constantly replaced with new, man-made doctrines, explanations, creeds, dogmas and so forth, which have altogether no actual foundation in the Holy Scriptures. Is it therefore not a fact, that all denominations have established their own kingdoms, proclaiming them to be the Kingdom of God? In spite of all this, it remains true that Jesus Christ builds His Church in the midst of the whole church world and will complete the same soon. God has a plan with humanity which He is bringing to pass. To understand it correctly, we must free ourselves from all inherited religious traditions and return to the original Word of God. Our Lord does not demand a blind faith. In fact, real faith has two sound spiritual eyes and two stable spiritual feet. The true foundation is the Old and the New Testament, wherein the plan of salvation for mankind is outlined from the beginning to the end.
