God and God’s Word alone is reliable. Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him as righteousness (Rom. 4). All true believers are the spiritual seed of Abraham (Gal. 3). They walk in the footsteps of faith, believing as the Scripture says. God’s testimony is clear, so is the testimony of the prophets and apostles. Now the concern is our testimony, which needs to coincide with what is written.

The apostate Christianity has forsaken the true belief and created a self-made religion. The one God was divided into different persons, who are also separately worshipped. Then followed the exaltation of Mary into the state of “Mother of God”, the “Theotokos” (431 A.D.). This is very serious, here the spirits are separating, for it is written, “Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist …” (1. Jn. 4:2-3). Because the church fathers declared the Son to be “God from God and light from light”, as they formulated it, and placed Him as the second person beside the one God, they came forth with the declaration of Mary to be the “Mother of God”. That is, of course, a direct anti-christ confession. The Bible does not know a God Who has a mother. God is from eternity to eternity. When Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, she spoke what for ever is valid. When she greeted Mary she never said, “The mother of God comes to me.”, but rather as is written in the Book of Truth, “And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Lk. 1:43). The Angel also did not announce the birth of God, but the birth of our LORD, as is written in Lk. 2:11.

The Son was begotten, Who is Christ, the Saviour, the Anointed One, the Messiah, manifested in the flesh. Not an eternal Son became flesh — man, but rather He Who was the Word in the beginning, the Logos was manifested as Son in the body of flesh. That is the divine truth. The confession of the church is entirely unscriptural, it is not the confession of Christ, but the one of the antichrist. Therefore it is written in view of the biblical confession concerning the Son,“Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son — as the Scripture declares Him — hath the Father also.” (1. Jn. 2:23). Just before this statement, the Apostle John warned of the antichrist, who does not confess that Jesus is the Christ since manifested in the body of flesh. He emphasised the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which teaches us according to the Scripture “that no lie — also not the one about an eternal Son — is of the truth” (1. Jn. 2:18-27). The Holy Scripture does not once speak about the birth of the Son of God in heaven, but rather announces all through the Old Testament the birth of the Son, which took place here on earth, as the New Testament confirms. In heaven was only the »son of the morning«, Lucifer. But he exalted himself, fell, and became the adversary (Isa. 14:12-14; Ezech. 28:11-17), the god of this world (2. Cor. 4:4).

Also to lift Mary into the state of mediator and intercessor, right up to be the queen of heaven, and to consider the dogma of immaculate conception and of her bodily ascension to heaven, etc., etc., is anti-christ. If it had actually happened, then the apostles most certainly would have referred to it in their letters, as they did document the virgin birth and the ascension of Christ. All such statements of faith have no biblical foundation, they do not originate with Christ, the Head of the Church, and therefore must be declared to be anti-christ. Whatever the Scripture does not testify about must be rejected. The Bible only speaks of Jesus Christ to be the mediator and the advocate, and no one else. He alone is the King of kings. There is no need of a heavenly queen — neither in heaven nor on earth. It is also written, “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven” (Jn. 3:13). What is reliable: that what God’s Word declares or what church fathers and popes have invented in the course of time? Also the legend about the “apostolic succession” and Peter to have been the first pope is unbelievable. Neither the Bible nor church history ever reports of the Apostle Peter having been in Rome.

In regards to the worship of Mary and all the other saints and their likenesses, one must pose the question if this can still be called a divine service. The mariology and all the veneration of saints is completely foreign to the Bible. After that notable Day of Pentecost, when she along with the 120 received the Holy Ghost, which is essential for the believers, she was not once mentioned again throughout all the New Testament. She was the chosen vessel of God, the virgin, to give birth to the Son (Isa. 7:14) and had fulfilled the single, very important task allotted to her. She was and had to be a part of the fallen, sinful humanity, into which the Redeemer had to be born to save us out of the fallen state. Therefore she confessed Christ to be her Saviour (Lk. 1:47). The church of Rome has indeed changed all the original teachings and in part transferred things from Christ to Mary. Satan, the prince of this world, used the church fathers to cause this spiritual devastation. The enemy not only destroyed the divine order of creation, but also the divine order of God’s plan of salvation, so the worship does actually not go to the Lord God, the Creator and Saviour, but rather under religious pretence to him. All unscriptural things in the apostate Christendom must be put through the test and have to be indicted.

The church fathers were neither apostles nor prophets, they invented speculative theories about God and the various subjects, which later were put into statements of faith and dogmas. They apparently had no understanding of the realisation of God’s plan of salvation, the way it was foretold in the Old Testament and comes to pass during the period of the New Testament. God has redeemed the fallen, from Him separated humanity from death and reconciled us with Himself, giving us eternal life. Adam was created as son of God at the beginning of the natural creation. Christ is the only begotten Son, the beginning of the new divine creation (Rev. 3:14).“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.” (Col. 1:15-16). “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (Rom. 8:29). “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” (1. Cor. 15:21-22).

To all born-again sons and daughters of God the following scriptures apply, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2. Cor. 5:17). “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” (Eph. 4:23-24). “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.” (Col. 2:13). “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” (Jas. 1:18). “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1. Pt. 1:23).

“And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.” (1. Cor. 15:49). “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2. Cor. 3:17-18). The Redeemer had to appear in a body of flesh here on earth to accomplish the work of redemption. On the cross He cried, “It is finished!” “… God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.” (Rom. 8:3).

As God had previously sent all the prophets, even John the Baptist, who came on the scene a man sent from God, but all of them born here on earth, the Son was also sent after He was born here on earth. The fateful mistake in the thought-process of the theologians is found in the imaginary concept that the Son already existed beside God in eternity. The Apostle Paul clarified this for us in Gal. 4:4, “But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, made under the law.” And therefore“in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.” (Heb. 2:17).

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1. Jn. 3:2). His resurrection in a glorified body is the guarantee for our resurrection and glorified body.

God and God’s Word alone is reliable. Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him as righteousness (Rom. 4). All true believers are the spiritual seed of Abraham (Gal. 3). They walk in the footsteps of faith, believing as the Scripture says. God’s testimony is clear, so is the testimony of the prophets and apostles.
