The Little Horn's Big Lie!: The Ten Most Dangerous Doctrines Preached in the Church Today

By Lynda L. Durrett and Yisrael Avila

Have you ever listened to a preacher bring a sermon on the pre-tribulation rapture? How wonderful it will be when we are all caught up with Jesus just before everything breaks loose here on earth? What about the one that is preached on how and why the Sabbath was changed to Sunday and give a list of reasons; none of them found in the Bible. Then there is tithing? They make sure to let us know we demonstrate our obedience through paying our tithing and giving back to God/Yahweh, and when we do not, we can
be cursed or not be blessed as we should. We cannot forget the sermon on the Gifts of God/Yahweh that are no longer for the church. These and other doctrinal views are commonly preached in the main stream Christian
Churches today. They are based off opinion of men and are often argued with verses from the Bible that have been taken out of context.
It is interesting that the evangelical churches today claim to take and read the Bible literally. They claim every word to be the inerrant word of God/Yahweh. Many of them treat the Bible as God/Yahweh, yet there is not
a verse that can be found that says the Sabbath was changed to a Sunday, that the Saints will be raptured before the tribulation, or the church is to pay tithing. Nowhere will you find the Holy Spirit only gives just some
of the gifts on the list to believers today. You will not find a verse that specifically tells you once you are saved you are always saved. Instead, you will find volumes of verses that contradict each of these false doctrines being
preached.So, what does that say about our contemporary church today, the one that claims to take each word, statement, or verse literally, the very ones preaching about false teachers, teaching themselves, false doctrine?

From Lynda

FIRST, I WOULD like to give thanks to you my Lord and Savior, the King of Kings, Jesus/Yashua the Christ for entrusting me with an endeavor such as writing this book and the revelation to do so. I know that without you I am nothing and have nothing. I am so grateful for all the challenges you have placed in my life for I know without them I would not be here today writing this book. I thank you for all the wonderful people you have placed in my life. My family, my brothers and sisters in Christ, my friends and coworkers, have all brought something wonderful to my life and I thank you for them. Most importantly, I thank you for loving me so much that you died that I might have the opportunity for eternal life. I pray Lord, your will be done in my life always.

To my family: My husband, Richard: my children, Jason and Jessica, Brad and Chelsea, Kevin, Michael and Kristi, Erica and Andrew, Travis and Bianca, and Little Melissa; my grandchildren, Gina, Kalialani, Salina, Sondrea, Sydney, Jenna and my little Reesey, Cyrus, Lorenzo, Julian, Ethaniel, Gabriel, moreover, my granddaughter I have yet to meet; my mother and step father, Joyce and Stig Hoffmann; all of my brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, and cousins. I love you all so very much. I thank each of you for the patience you had with me as a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, and a grandmother. You each gave to me the very thing that Yahweh/God knew I needed to be all that He would have me be.

To my covenant family: Pastor Harold H. and Sister Craig Jr, Pastor Phil and Sister Reverend Hodge, Reverend Robert Gillespie, Reverend and Sister Handley, Reverend and Sister Reverend Fields, Reverend and Sister Reverend Gamble, Reverend and Sister Young, Reverend and Sister Powell, Reverend and Sister Masone, Pastor John Campbell, Deacon and Sister Smith, Deacon and Sister Rembert, and all of my Morning Star family, I love you all and if I missed anyone I am sorry. I have been so honored to have each of you in my life and I pray that you continue as the Generals you are in the army of the Lord. Though we may not always agree on details of various doctrine, we all agree that Jesus/Yahshua is Lord and we press toward the mark. You are all very dear to me.

To each of my friends both believers and unbelievers, you know who you are, I truly appreciate and love you. You will never know how you have touched my life and helped me to grow in the Lord. I pray this book a blessing to each of you.

From Yisrael

TO YAHWEH, LET my flesh speak, that my spirit can sing you praise. You are my everything, above you there is nothing, below you, there is nothing. You and You alone are everything. I pray that You keep me in truth, and chastise me when I am wrong. Thank You for your loving kindness and Your tender mercies. Thank you for life, love, nature, friendship, and family. I Praise You, and thank You Yahweh for Your Righteousness.

To my wife, you are such a wonderful gift from Yahweh. You are the missing part of me, your weaknesses are my strengths, and my weaknesses are your strengths. Truly only The Living Elohim could have designed us to fit so well together, that our relationship would be evident of the Glory of Yahweh’s wonderful design for mankind.

To my children, Praise Yahweh for raising up such wonderful people to serve in His Kingdom, and granting their mother and I the gift of watching them grow and getting to know them. Though their flesh came from my loins, and though their mother bore them, truly, they are your children Almighty Yahweh, it is Your Spirit that moves in them.

Yahweh, you are my Father and my Master, I hold you above everything. To my family, you are the gifts He has given me to care for, until He Returns to us, or we return to Him. To all of you, above all Yahweh, I dedicate this book to you.

It is not Only Yahweh and my family or even my friends, like my brother Robert, who has been my closest friend here on earth for a good and many years that I would like to thank. I would also like to give a sincere thank you to each one of my enemies, those who have wronged me over the years, those who have hurt me over the years. Those who have conspired against me, those who have driven me to homelessness, those who have stood back and watched as I was utterly destroyed. Thank you. You are the wonderful test Yahweh blessed me. It is because of you, I have been made strong, that I have been sharpened; it was you with which Yahweh sharpened me. You were my fire that cleansed to crude steel. You were the obstacle that brought me closer to victory. I pray that in your lives, all of you would find the peace and Love that only comes from Yahweh through Yahshua’s Sacrifice, and by the guidance of The Holy Spirit. I pray you pass your own tests. In addition, if by my past, I had been a test to any of you, I pray that you found victory over me, and I ask that you forgive me. And for those who have walked away because I found Yahshua, I pray that He traps you in the same snares He trapped me in, that you may find the fault of your own life, and the darkness there of, that His Light would be much brighter, and easier to find. Amen.

INTRODUCTION

WHEN YOU LOVE someone and you hear others speak incorrectly about the one you love, you become angry. Who as a parent, a husband, or wife would not be ready to defend their family when others speak falsities about them? We all would find ourselves immediately wanting to tell those that are speaking the lies the truth and speak up for those we love.

It is this love, which brought about the idea for this book. Tired of hearing the falsities spoken of our precious Lord, the twisting of His Holy Word, the omission of His truths, we realized something had to be done. It is maddening to see so many pastors, teachers or congregational members, our brothers and sisters in Christ, those very ones we love, falling to the plan of Satan.

What has taken place in the institutional church today compares to the quilts our grandmothers made. You find the quilt is beautiful on the surface, though made of scraps of rags and discarded clothing. The quilt is functional and warm, it is when you look closely at the piecing, there is nothing more than recycled garbage sewn together by the hands of man. Today’s Church is very similar. It appears Holy on the surface, but when you look beneath its beauty, you find it is a patchwork of truth and lies. The outside looks good, but upon closer examination, you see woven within it the threads of this world.

The Book of 2 Peter Chapter 2:1 reads But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished:

The church institution is full of false prophets that have brought into the church damnable heresies. Convincing the body of Christ of doctrine not found within scripture. This book deals with some of those heresies, the heresies that have the potential for a spiritual death of the Christian.

So, what does that say about our contemporary church today, the one that claims to take each word, statement, or verse literally, the very ones preaching about false teachers, teaching themselves, false doctrine?

It is important to note for those reading this book we are not proclaiming to be theologians. We are simply lovers of Christ Jesus, desiring for all to know Him in a deep and personal way. We are part of the true truth movement that is moving across the world during these end times. We see the antichrist system coming together and realize the importance of the truth for the body of Christ to be able to endure the upcoming tribulations. We are no better, no more righteous, or knowledgeable than our brothers and sisters. We are merely servants of Jesus/Yahshua, proclaiming the truth of the Gospel. We are tired of the lies that have found their way into the Body. We are tired of others exploiting Jesus/Yahshua for their own gain. We believe the Bible is the Word of God/Yahweh and all of the truth found within it. We did not write this book to point any fingers at any denomination or any person, simply to point others to the truth of the Bible. Further, we understand many generations have been deceived through the Spirit of the antichrist.

We pray this book will help those we love understand you can read the Holy Scriptures through fresh eyes, without the theological perspective of any man, to include the authors of this book. It is through a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus that you can experience the holy Word of God in truth. Always test everything you read and are told at any Church Service, Bible Study, Seminary, or Sunday school, or by preachers, pastors, or teachers. Seek the truth for yourself, for through fasting, prayer, and study we guarantee God will reveal to you the truth. Understand you will not make it to Heaven being good. It is out of your love for Him and your obedience that you will make it. Please my dear brothers and sister, examine your hearts, as God/Yahweh will. He knows your intentions of the work you do so do it with honesty and out of love for Him. He loves you so deeply. He knows if you are doing it for your own glory or for His. Please before it too late.

Our desire of this book is it will be a blessing to those who read it. We have made every effort when referring to others material to acknowledge the sources from which they were found and attempted to give full credit to those that have been quoted or referred to. We also thank those that we have used any of your information as it is obvious you as well as the writers of this book have a desire for the truth to be heard.

The Rapture, the 7-year Tribulation,

The "little Horn’s BIG Lie

THE RAPTURE HAS always been a controversial subject. To be more specific the pre-tribulation rapture we see preached in many of today’s churches. Frankly, it is difficult to see how an informed person can believe in the pre-tribulation rapture, as it is to deny the word of God/Yahweh and to twist scripture by borrowing verses out of context. Not only will we show you this truth in this chapter, but we will also provide you with the origin of this lie.

One thing we all error in, is the tendency we have to take the word of man over the word of God/Yahweh. Take slavery for example, we must remember churches and preachers existed during slavery, and many slave owners attended church. They would twist scripture and take things out of context to justify their position supporting slavery as an acceptable practice.

Times may have changed, but man has not. Therefore, we will begin to debunk this lie with the Word of God/Yahweh and we will start with Proverbs 10:30 "The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth". What does this mean? Matthew 13:49-50 reads, "So it
