Against False Doctrine

CHAPTER 3: THE RELIGION OF MYSTERY BABYLON

WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE FALSE DOCTRINES OF "MYSTERY BABYLON" ACTUALLY ARE. IN THE NINETEEN HUNDRED YEARS SINCE THE FIRST ADVENT OF JESUS CHRIST, MANY CHRISTIAN CHURCHES HAVE ALMOST LOST THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE SUBSTITUTED THEIR OWN TRADITIONS, DOCTRINES OF MEN, AND SOME OF THE TEACHINGS OF THE ANCIENT RELIGION OF MYSTERY BABYLON. EVEN THE CHURCHES THAT CLAIM TO DERIVE THEIR DOCTRINE DIRECTLY FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS, START OUT CORRECTLY BY GOING RIGHT TO THE WORD OF GOD FOR THEIR BASIS OF FAITH, BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY JUMP RIGHT UP TO 325 AD AND ACCEPT THE ERRORS THAT HAD ALREADY CREPT INTO THE CHURCH AT THAT TIME. THE GOSPEL IN ITS PURITY WAS LOST TO MOST OF THE WORLD SHORTLY AFTER 325 AD. NOTICE, I SAID THE GOSPEL IN IT'S PURITY. I DON'T MEAN TO IMPLY THAT THE GOSPEL WAS LOST, ONLY THAT WHEN THE GOSPEL WAS BEING PREACHED FALSE DOCTRINE WAS ALSO BEING TAUGHT ALONG WITH IT.

Genesis 10:8-10 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD." The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Clan, in Shinar. (SHINAR IS MODERN DAY IRAQ)

NIMROD'S KINGDOM WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT BY SATAN AFTER THE FLOOD TO BRING THE WORLD UNDER ONE GOVERNMENT. HE WAS SUCCESSFUL UNTIL GOD STEPPED IN AND CONFUSED THE LANGUAGES AT BABEL. THE BOOK OF JASHER (AN ANCIENT JEWISH HISTORY BOOK) GIVES US SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT NIMROD.

Jasher 7:23 & 44-47 And Cush the son of Ham, the son of Noah, took a wife in those days, and she bare a son, and they called his name Nimrod, saying, at that time the sons of men began to rebel and transgress against God. And Nimrod dwelt in Shinar, and he reigned securely, and he fought with his enemies and he subdued them, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom became very great. And Nimrod reigned in the earth over all the sons of Noah, and they were all under his power and counsel. And all of the earth was of one language, but Nimrod did not go in the ways of the Lord, and he was more wicked than all the men that were before him, from the days of the flood until those days. And he made gods of wood and stone, and he bowed down before them, and he rebelled against the lord, and taught all his subjects and the people of the earth his wicked ways. (Nimrod means "Rebel".)

NIMROD LED THE WORLD BACK INTO IDOL WORSHIP AFTER THE FLOOD. ACCORDING TO JOSEPHUS, THE JEWISH HISTORIAN, IT WAS NIMROD WHO CONVINCED THE PEOPLE TO BUILD THE TOWER OF BABEL. THEIR PURPOSE WAS TO BUILD A CITY TOO HIGH TO BE REACHED BY THE WATERS OF ANOTHER FLOOD. THEY ALSO INTENDED TO KILL GOD WHEN THE TOWER REACHED TO HEAVEN, AND PUT THEIR OWN GODS IN HIS PLACE. IDOLATRY, PAYING REVERENCE TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING OTHER THAN GOD IS THE MAIN THEME OF THE RELIGION OF "MYSTERY BABYLON."

THE GOSPEL WILL NEVER BE TOTALLY LOST, BUT IT MAY BE OBSCURED BY AND TAUGHT ALONG WITH THE DOCTRINES OF MEN AND DEMONS. THE GATES OF HELL WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO COMPLETELY CONCEAL THE TRUTH, BUT AT TIMES THE DEVIL DOES SEEM TO HAVE THE CHURCH ON THE RUN.
