UNHOLY SEMINARIES.
The cemeteries of the Faith once delivered to the saints.-Jude 1:3
By Andy Neckar

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Where did these certain men come from? How did they creep in?

These certain men came with "credentials". They came into the churches and behind the pulpits with the alphabet after their names. They came with the Name of Christ "before" their names. They call themselves "Reverend".

Ps 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

Why is it that the Holy Spirit of God cannot teach a man anything anymore? (John 14:26) Has the Holy Spirit of God lost His power to teach? Just suppose He has also lost His power to "seal". (Eph 1:13; 4:30)

Oh, yes, the Bible does teach us to study. (2 Tim 2:15). The Bible does instruct us to study and teach others. We are to commit the faith "once" delivered to the saints to other "faithful men" (gender sensitive-1 Tim 2:12) who shall be able to teach others. (2 Tim 2:2)

The apostle Paul did not start a religious school to teach Timothy the Scripture. Timothy learned from Paul as Paul went about his missionary work and from the written words of Paul. I do not recollect reading of Timothy receiving a diploma or certificate of any kind from Paul.

Acts 18:24-26 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

The way of salvation was now, "... repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." (Acts 20:21) and belief in the gospel of Christ. (Rom 1:16) Apollos knew only the baptism of repentance. (Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3)

Do you think Apollos went to the seminary of Aquila and Priscilla for 2, or perhaps 4 years of study before he could go out and teach others? As for me and my house, we don't think so. (Me & Mom)

Our churches are being "led away" from the faith once delivered to the saints by men and women trained up in the way the devil wants them to go. These disciples of their father the devil are graduates of the Seminaries of Satan, and they go and make a former Christian Church the Synagogue of Satan.

They say they are Christian Churches but are not. The Lord Jesus has made them the synagogues of Satan. (Rev 2:9; 3:9)

Those with e-mail only, please write, and I will send it as time permits.

Take courage though. OUR day is coming. One day they will worship at our feet.

Earnestly Contending for the Faith
