Questions to ask your pastor
#1 What religion/faith was Christ? A Baptist, Catholic, Christian, Witness, Jewish, Holiness, Pentecostal, 7th Day Adventist?
#2 Why are there so many churches & faiths that all claim Christ, if the bible tells us in Ephesians 4:5, "ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism",
And 1 Corinthians 1:13 asks, "Is Christ divided?" & 1 Cor.14:33 says, "For God is not the author of CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches ...of the saints."
#3 If heaven is for everybody, then why are there only 12 names on the 12 gates of it? (Rev. 21:12) "And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the NAMES of the TWELVE TRIBES of the children of ISRAEL:"
#4 Why did Christ say, "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of ISRAEL" (Matt.15:24) if He came and died for everybody?
#5 Did Christ and His disciples eat pork, along with shrimp, crab & lobster? (first read Lev.11:7-12, then ask).
#6 You said all I had to do to be "Saved" was accept Christ into my life, but why did Christ say, "But he that shall endure unto the END, the same shall be saved." (Matt.24:13)
#7 Why do we worship on Sunday doing the opposite of what Christ did? The Bible shows that Christ was always in the sanctuary teaching & healing on the sabbaths/Saturday's, but not on Sunday. (Matt.12:8, Matt.12:12, Mark 1:21, Mark 6:2, Lk.4:16, Lk.4:31, and so on, and so on.)
#8 You told me that I was a Gentile & that Gentiles can be saved, but why does Revelations say the Gentiles are going to be “without” or OUTSIDE of God’s temple in heaven (Rev.11:2), and that they are whoremongers-idolaters-liars, etc. (Rev.22:15 & 21:8) AND those same outsiders are going into the LAKE of FIRE (Rev.21:8)?
#9 How can John 3:16 mean the whole world can be saved, when God created more than one world and even put a difference between the earth & the world (Ps.90:2)? Isa.45:17 "But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded WORLD without end." (hint: Israel is the "world" he's referring to)
Question #10 People always say, "Nobody's perfect", even Christians say it. But, when Christ said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" (Matt.5:48), was that a real commandment?
Now, ASK YOURSELF: Do you have the answers to ALL 10 of these questions? If not & you go to church or even read the bible, then why not? Were you afraid to ask your pastor any of these questions? Be honest. And if so, ask yourself, Why? And were you afraid of the answers to any of these questions? If ANY of your answers are "yes" then you need to STOP PLAYING with God & come into the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ (ICGJC) before it's too late!
2 Cor.13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"
C'mon people - you know whether you've been truly serving God all this time or NOT. And if you're not in the ICGJC, then not only are you NOT serving God (Beautiful, BLACK Jesus Christ), but you're being taught the doctrine of the devil. Straight up.
I say these things, not because I'm hatin' on other people's churches or "faiths", but because I love my people (of Negroid, Latino & Native American descent)♥.
Come into the light - don't let your PRIDE or embarrassment keep you in the dark.
Won't nothing hurt worse than when the Day of Judgment comes (& it WILL COME) & Christ has this to say to you, "And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt.7:23)
One other thing, don't let anyone else keep you from coming into the TRUE light (their thoughts, feelings or opinions), because YOU'RE the one that has to face God at judgment - that other person will be nowhere around to help you or speak in your defense. So, don't let your HUSBAND, WIFE, SISTER, BROTHER, COUSIN, BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND, YO' MOMMA, YO' DADDY, etc., intimidate or stop you! Ultimately, it's your choice.
Also, as the God-sent Comforter says,"No one ever went to hell for what someone else did." Think on that.
I am sharing these things with you because I really do love God's people and because Christ wants His daughters and sons to know His truth.
