Glamour Scammers

By Bill Etem

The Christian scriptures are clear there is only one True Church, only one Bride of Christ. And yet there are thousands of separate churches / thousands of unique denominations in the world. A big glaring problem!

If a Church leads people to Heaven then she is the Bride of Christ, the True Church.

If a church is lost in heresy and drags people down to eternal perdition then that church is what is known as a false church.

Jesus tells us in John 6. 53-55 that to attain Heaven and escape perdition you must partake of Holy Communion. And in 1 Corinthians 11. 27-29 St. Paul tells us you drink damnation into your soul if you celebrate Holy Communion in an unworthy manner.  Don't share the bread and the wine with people who support Anti-Christian things!

Let's examine in some detail why it is irrational to promote more than one church.

A Russian Orthodox believer, for example, goes to a park and evangelizes to other people. He's telling the crowds that the Russian Orthodox Church is God's True Church which leads people to Heaven. And he is saying all other churches are false churches: all other churches are lost in heresy, and so they drag people down to eternal perdition. He meets Roman Catholics and Lutherans and Baptists etc who are offended by his preaching. Not liking the animosity he gets from these other Christians, from people who hate his message that only the Russian Orthodox Church leads people to Heaven, and every other Christian denomination is a false church which drags people down to eternal perdition, the Russian Orthodox preacher capitulates under the pressure. And so he preaches a new sermon, one which says the Russian Orthodox Church, along with the Roman Catholic Church, and the ELCA (the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), and the LCMS, and the WELS, and the Southern Baptists, are all churches which lead people to Heaven.

But this is insanity. Either the Russian Orthodox Church leads people to Heaven or else Russian Orthodox Church is lost in heresy and doesn't lead people to Heaven. The Russian Orthodox Church is either God's True Church or else it is not God's True Church.

If the Russian Orthodox Church leads people to perdition, if it is lost in heresy, if it is a false church, then, when you tell people the Russian Orthodox Church will lead them to Heaven, when it will lead them to perdition, then you are leading people to perdition, so you are a heretic.  Heretics go to perdition, not to Heaven.

But if the Russian Orthodox Church leads people to Heaven, if it is God's True Church, then promote only the Russian Orthodox Church. Don't descend into insanity by promoting churches other than the Russian Orthodox Church.  Your eternal soul will go to perdition if these other churches you are promoting are false churches. If you promote a false church, if you tell people that church X will lead them to Heaven, when in fact church X will drag them down to eternal perdition, then you are a heretic, you are leading people away from Heaven and to perdition, so you are a heretic, and so you will go to perdition, assuming you never repent but continue to be a heretic.

I'm trying to write books which can at least be considered adequate paraphrases of Christianity.  To do this I must inform people, with 100% accuracy, how they find the True Church.  I must inform people, with 100% accuracy, with no mistakes, with no slip-ups, which churches are false churches that drag people down to eternal perdition.

I explain the reasons why Christianity is true and yet every church under the cross is a false church: every church under the cross leads people to eternal perdition.

One begins by explaining our options with the Roman Catholic crucifix, then one moves on to explaining our options with the cross.

Had lots of jobs: High School math teacher, football coach, track coach, legal coding / data entry, production, bar bouncer etc., etc. Bounced around some myself. Lived in Mexico for 20 months, in Oaxaca. Lived in Los Angeles for a few years. Traveled for 4 months round Europe after graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1983, B.A. in Mathematics. My religious books are all about searching for the True Church. The descriptions and contents of my 10 You Tube playlists also deal with that theme. If a Church leads people to Heaven then that Church is the Bride of Christ, the True Church, the Church Christ founded on a rock, Matthew 16. 13-19. If a church is lost in heresy and drags people down to eternal perdition then that church is a false church. The Christian scriptures are clear there is only one True Church, only one Bride of Christ. And yet there are thousands of separate churches / thousands of unique denominations in the world. This a big glaring problem. John 6. 53-55 tells us one must celebrate Holy Communion to attain Heaven and escape perdition. 1 Corinthians 11. 27-29 says you drink damnation into your soul if you celebrate Holy Communion in an unworthy manner. I've spent roughly 7 thousand hours working on my You Tube playlists, so be sure to scrutinize those when you get a chance.  These You Tube videos explain how we got no end of Christians who violate 1 Corinthians 11. 27-29.  They drink damnation into their souls by sharing the bread and the wine with people who push evil, Anti-Christian things. https://youtube.com/@billetem5868 [e-mail]

Chapter 1. Christianity is True and yet the People under the Cross are on the Road to Eternal Perdition

My religious books argue that Christianity is true, Jesus is God, the Divine Son. But we have a big problem in that the Christian scriptures are clear there is only one True Church, only one Bride of Christ. And yet there are thousands of separate churches / thousands of unique denominations in the world. So this a big conspicuous problem! It's like you are a detective at a crime scene, and you're staring at some clues, but if your main ideas about how the crime went down are contradicted by the most obvious pieces of evidence, then you got a big problem. You know, if you find a corpse with a knife in her back and a cigarette by her head, and if you determine she died from smoking...

We got scriptures which say there is only one True Church, and we got thousands of separate churches / thousands of unique denominations in the world...

Some definitions:

If a Church leads people to Heaven then she is the Bride of Christ, the True Church, the Church Christ founded on a rock, Matthew 16. 13-19.

If a church is lost in heresy and drags people down to eternal perdition then that church is what is known as a false church.

How do you find the True Church?

How do you escape from every false church?

I have some books which deal with those questions!

The following is basic info that serves as an Introduction to all of my religious books.

Jesus tells us, in so many words, in John 6. 53-55, that to attain Heaven and escape perdition you must partake of Holy Communion. And in 1 Corinthians 11. 27-29 St. Paul tells us you drink damnation into your soul if you celebrate Holy Communion in an unworthy manner. My books push the concept that you celebrate Holy Communion in an unworthy manner if you share the bread and the wine with people who openly support evil or Anti-Christian things.

Can we find any evidence that says Christians have supported evil things for century after century?

Lord Acton told us in his essay `Human Sacrifice,’ `And yet, long after the last victim had fallen in honour of the sun-god of the Aztecs, the civilised nations of Christian Europe continued to wage wholesale destruction...Protestants and Catholics, clergy and laity, vied with each other for two hundred years to provide victims, and every refinement of legal ingenuity and torture was used in order to increase their number. In 1591, at Nördligen, a girl was tortured twenty-three times before she confessed...Three years later, in the same town, a woman suffered torture fifty-six times without confessing she was a witch...In the north of Italy, the great jurist Alciatus saw 100 witches burnt on one day...In England alone, under the Tudors and the Stuarts, the victims of this superstition amounted to 30,000. Yet, from the appearance of Spee's Cautio in 1631 to the burning of the last witch in 1783, all sensible men were persuaded that the victims were innocent of the crime for which they suffered intolerable torments and an agonizing death. But those who hunted them out with cunning perseverance, and the inflexible judges who never spared their lives, firmly believed that their execution was pleasing in the sight of God...

The above is not evidence that says Christianity is a false religion. The New Testament contains prophesies which say Christianity will be corrupted.

St. Paul tells us the following in Acts 20. 28-32:

Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears. Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

St. Paul says in 1 Timothy 4. 1-3:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 Peter 5. 8 tells us to be sober and vigilant because the Devil walks about like a roaring lion looking to devour people. In the above extract from Lord Acton we see churches acting rather diabolically, thus re-enforcing the testimony of 1 Peter 5. 8.

Revelation 20. 12-15 says you get tossed into the lake of fire if your name is not written in the Book of Life. But it doesn't say the damned remain forever in the lake of fire. If you tell Jews, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians who are lost in false churches, Muslims etc., that they will be tortured in Hell forever and ever, and there will never be any mercy for those outside the True Faith, and outside the True Church, well, my my, you are pushing some terribly controversial doctrines! My books promote the concept that God takes many or most of the damned out of the lake of fire and gives them more comfortable places in eternal perdition. The scriptures are clear that once you're damned you never attain Heaven. But to say that every Non-Christian, to say that everyone who refuses to worship Jesus as God, the Divine Son, and every Christian who dies while lost in a false church, is cast into the lake of fire, and is tortured forever and ever in that lake of fire, well, what do you think about that idea? What about the idea that God gives the damned some mercy?

Getting back to the You Tube videos, a few of these videos deal with airline crashes caused by pilots making stupid mistakes. There was the Northwest Airlines crash in Detroit where the pilots forgot to set the flaps and the slats on take off, and in the Avianca crash in New York the air traffic controllers didn't realize how low on fuel Avianca actually was, and in the crash in Teneriffe, the KLM pilot was in a big big hurry and he made a bad bad mistake...

In similar fashion Christians are making a bad bad mistake by ignoring 1 Corinthians 11. 27-29. Christians should be hearing the warning bells going off saying a crash is imminent! I mean, no end of Christians completely ignore 1 Corinthians 11. 27-29!

The general culture, which of course is a decadent and Anti-Christian culture, puts lots of pressure
