The men who do not discharge their semen, due to self-control, are closer to God, as they do not have a trace of lust, in their hearts, and thus becomes the most potent teachers of spiritual life, he becomes renounced. This type of life is very rare and demands the highest intelligence.
**Confusing and intresting, yet, marriage is blessed by God, if desired. It shouldn't cause one to move further from God.

It doesn't cause a householder to move further from God, but a celibate moves closer to God, because he has renounced the pleasures of this material world. A renounced celibate, sacrifices everything, including himself in this world, and relies absolutely on God. For this act, God has no choice but reciprocate in the same manner.
By sacrifice, i don't mean burning goats and sheep at some alter, but giving up everything and subsisting on whatever God supplies (food, water,).

Self-control is the root of all power. Practicing self-control has it merits and rewards.
However this bit about semen traveling into the brain smells like utter bullshit.
Do you have any scientific evidence what-so-ever?

THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM
Revelation 2:14, "Thou hast them that hold the doctrine of Balaam , who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Now you just can't have a Nicolaitane set-up in the church and not have this other doctrine come in , too. You see, if you take away the Word of God and the moving of the spirit as a means of worship(" they that worship me must worship me in truth") then you will have to give the people another form of worship as a substitute, and substitution spells Balaamism.
If we are going to understand what the doctrine of Balaam is in the New Testament church we had better go back and see what if was in the Old Testament church and apply it to that third age and then bring it up to the present.
Tmhe story is found in Numbers Chapter 22 through 25. Now we know that Israel was the chosen people of God. They were the Pentecostals of their day. They had taken refuge under the blood, they had all been baptized in the Red Sea and they came up out of the waters, singing in the spirit and dancing under the energy of the Holy Ghost, while Miriam, the prophetess, played her tambourine. Well, after a certain time of journeying, these children of Israel came to Moab. You remember who Moab was. He was the son of Lot by one of his own daughters, and Lot in turn was a nephew of Abraham, so Israel and Moab were related. I want you to see that. The Moabites knew the truth, whether they lived up to it or not.
So Israel came up to the borders of Moab and sent messengers to the king saying, " We are brothers. Let us pass through your land. If our people or our animals eat or drink anything, we will gladly pay for it." But King Balak got very excited. That head of that Nicolaitane bunch was not about to let the church come through with its signs and wonders and divers manifestations of the Holy Ghost, with their faces shining with the glory of God. It was too risky, as he might lose some of his crowd. So Balak refused to let Israel pass through. In fact, so great was his fear of them, that he went to an hireling prophet called Balaam and asked him to mediate between him and God and petition the Almighty to curse Israel, and render them impotent. And Balaam, being eager to take part in political affairs and become a great man , was only too glad to do so. But seeing that he had to approach to, and receive and audience from God to get the people cursed, as he could not do it by himself, he went to ask God if he could have the permission to go. Now isn't that just like the Nicolaitanes we have with us today? They curse everyone that won't go their way
When Balaam asked God for permission go,God turned him down, My that stung! But Balak insisted, promising him even greater rewards and honor. So Balaam went back to God. Now one answer from God should have been enough. But not for self-willed Balaam. When God saw his perversity, he told him to get up and go. Quickly he saddled the donkey and away he went. He should have realized that this was simply God's permissive will and he wouldn't be able to curse them if he went twenty times and tried twenty times. How like Balaam are people today! They believe in three Gods, get baptized in three titles instead of the NAME, and yet God will sent the Spirit upon them as He did upon Balaam, and they will go on believing that they are exactly right, and here they are actually perfect Balaamites. See, the doctrine of Balaam. Go ahead anyway. Do it your way. They say, "Well, God has blessed us. It must be aright." I know he has blessed you. I don't deny that. But it's the same organizational route that Balaam took. It's defiance to God's word. It's false teaching.
So Balaam went wildly down the road until an angel from God stood in his way. But that prophet( bishop, cardinal, chairman, president and general overseer) was so blinded to Spiritual things by the thought of honor and glory and money that he could not see the angel standing with drawn sword. There he stood to block the mad prophet. The little donkey saw him and dodged back and forth until he finally crushed Balaam's foot against a stone wall. The ass stopped and would not go on. He could not. So Balaam jumped off and began beating him. The donkey then began to talk to Balaam. God let that donkey speak in a tongue. That donkey was no hybrid; he was original seed. He said to the blinded prophet, " Am I not your donkey, and haven't I carried you faithfully?" Balaam replied, "Yes, yes, you are my donkey and you have carried me faithfully until now; and if I can't get going, I'm going to kill you.......whoa! what's this, talking to a donkey? That's funny, I thought I heard the donkey talking and I was answering it back."
God has always spoken in a tongue. He spoke at Belshazzar’s feast and then at Pentecost . He is doing it again today. It’s a warning of soon coming judgment.
Then the angel was made visible to Balaam. He told Balaam that except for the donkey he would be dead even now for tempting God. But when Balaam promised to go back, he was sent on with the admonition to say only what God gave him.
So Balaam went down and set up seven altars for the clean beasts of sacrifice. He killed a ram signifying the coming of the Messiah. He knew what to do to approach unto God. He had the mechanics just right; but not the dynamics,; same as now. Can’t you see it, Nicolaitanes?
There was Israel down there in the valley, offering the same sacrifice, doing the same things, but only one had the sighs following. Only one had God in their midst. Form won’t get you anywhere, It can’t take the place of Spirit-manifestation. That is what happened at Nicaea. They put over Balaam’s doctrine, not the doctrine of God. And they stumbled; yea they fell. They became dead men.
After the sacrifice was made, Balaam was ready to prophesy. But God tied his tongue up and he could not curse them He blessed them.
Balak was very angry, but there was nothing that Balaam could do about the Prophecy. It had been spoken by the Holy Ghost,. So Balak told Balaam to go down, into the valley, and look upon their back parts to see if there wasn’t possibly some way he could curse them. The tactics that Balak used are the same tactics they use today. The big denominations look down at the little groups, and anything they find amongst them to make out a scandal they bring it out and shout it. If the moderns live in sin, no one says anything about it; but let one of the elect get into trouble and every paper blasts it across the country. Yes, Israel had her back(carnal) parts. They had their side that wasn’t praise-worthy; But in spite of their imperfections, by the purpose of God that works through election, by grace and not by works, THEY HAD THE CLOUD BY DAY AND THE PILLAR OF FIRE BY NIGHT, THEY HAD THE SMITTEN ROCK, THE BRAZEN SERPENT AND THE SIGNS AND WONDERS.
They were vindicated -not in themselves, but in God.
God didn’t have any respect for those Nicolaitanes with their PHD’s, LLD’s and all their fine organizations and the best that man could boast; but He did have respect unto Israel for they had the Word vindicated amongst them. Certainly Israel didn’t look too polished up, just having come out of Egypt in precipitous flight , but she was a blessed people anyway. All she had ever known for over three hundred years was herding flocks, tending fields and slaving away in fear of death under the Egyptians. But she was free now. She was a blessed people through the sovereignty of God. Certainly Moab looked down on her. All the other nations did too. Organization always looks down on the unorganized or destroy them when they won’t come,
Now someone might ask me, “Brother Brahman, what makes you think that Moab was organized while Israel was not? Where do you get that idea? “ I get it right here in the Bible. It is all typed out here. Everything written in the Old Testament that is in story form is written for our admonition so that we can learn from it. Here it is right in Numbers 23:9, “From the top of the rocks I see him, an from the hills I behold him; lo the people shall dwell ALONE and shall NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.” There it is. God looking down from the top of the rocks, not in some valley looking for their bad points and condemnng them . God seeing them the way He wanted to see them- from the height of love and mercy. They dwelt ALONE and they weren’t organized.They didn’t have a king. They had a prophet, and the prophet had God in him by the spirit; and the Word came to the prophet and the Word went to the people. They didn’t belong to the World Council of Churches, to the Baptists, Presbyterians, Assembly of God or any other group.They were joined to God. They didn’t need counsel from and council- they had “Thus saith the Lord” in their midst. Hallelujah!
Now in spite of the fact that Balaam knew the proper approach to God and could bring forth a revelation from the Lord by means of a special enduement of power, he was still, for all of that, a bishop in the false group. For what did he do now in order to win favor with Balak? He formulated a plan wherein God would be forced to deal with Israel in death. Just as Satan knew that he could beguile Eve(cause her to fall in fleshly sin) thus causing God to pass His pronounced sentence of death against sin , so Balaam knew that if he could get Israel to sin, God would have to deal with them in death . So he planned a way to get them to come over an join in sin. He sent out invitations to come to the feast of Baal-peor(come over and worship with us). Now Israel, no doubt, had seen the feasts of the Egyptians so they did not feel it was wrong to go and just look on and perhaps eat with the people. (What is wrong with fellowship anyway? We are supposed to love them , aren’t we, or how can we win them?)Being friendly never hurt anyone- or so they thought . But when those sexy Moabitish women began to dance and undress while they whirled around doing their rock and roll and twist, the lust rose up in the Israelites and they were drawn in to adultery, and God in wrath slew forty-two thousand of them.
And that is what Constantine and his successors did at Nicaea and after Nicaea. They invited the people of God to the convention. And when the church sat down to eat, and rose up to play(partaking of church form, ceremonies, and pagan feasts named after Christian rites) she was trapped; she had committed fornication . And God walked out.
When any man turns from the Word of God and joins a church instead of receiving the Holy Spirit, that man dies. Dead! That is what he is. Don’t join a church. Don’t get taken up with Creeds and tradition or anything that takes the place of the Word and the Spirit, or you’re dead. It’s all over. Your’re dead. Eternally separated from God!
That is what has happened in every age since. God delivers the people. They come out by the blood, sanctified by the Word, walk through the waters of baptism and get filled with the spirit; but after awhile the first love cools off and someone gets the idea that they ought to organize themselves, and they organize themselves right back in the second generation and sometimes even before then. They no longer have the Spirit of God, just a form of worship. They are dead They have hybridized themselves with creed and form and there is no life in them.
So Balaam got Israel to comment fornication Do you know that physical fornication is the very same spirit that lies in organized religion ? I said that the spirit of fornication is the spirit of organization. And all fornicators will have their place in the lake of fire. That is what God thinks of organization, And all fornicators will have their place in the lake of fire. That is what God thinks of organization. Yes sir , the whore and her daughters will be in the lake of fire.
Denominations are not of God. They never have been and never will be. It’s a wrong spirit that separates the people into hierarchy and laity; and it’s , therefore, a wrong spirit that separates the people from the people. That’s what organization and denominations do. In organizing they separate themselves from the Words of God, and bring themselves into spiritual adultery.
Now notice that Constantine gave special feasts unto the people. They were the old pagan feasts with new names taken from the church, or in some cases christian rites were taken and abused with pagan ceremonies. He took the worship of the sun-god and changed it to the Son of God. Instead of celebrating on December 21, which is when they used to celebrate the feast to the sun-god, they put it up to December 25th and called it the Son of God’s birthday. But we know that He was born in April when life comes forth,not in December. And they took the feast to Astarte and called it the Easter celebration wherein the Christian is supposed to celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord. Actually it was a pagan feast to Astarte.
They placed altars in the church. They put in images. They gave the people what they called the apostles’ creed, though you can’t find it in the Bible. They taught the people ancestor worship thereby making the Roman Catholic Church the greatest spiritistic church in the world. Every foul bird was in that cage. And you have the Protestants with their organizations doing the same thing.
They ate things sacrificed to idols. Now I don't say that this really means they were literally eating meats sacrificed to idols. For though the council of Jerusalem has spoken against such, Paul did not made much of it as he said the idols were nothing. It was just a matter of conscience except where it offended another brother and then it was not allowed. Furthermore, this Revelation has to do with Gentiles and not Jews as these are Gentile churches.I see this in the same light I see the words of the Lord, “Except ye eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you.
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. “ You can see that eating is actually partaking in a spiritual sense So when these people were bowing to the images, lighting candles, using pagan holidays, confessing their sins to men(all of which belongs to the devil’s religion.), they were partakers with the devil and not of the Lord. They were in idolatry whether they admitted it or not. They can talk all they want that the altars and the incense are only to remind them of the prayers of the Lord or whatever they think it means; and they can say that when they pray before the image it is just for the sake of emphasis; and that when they confess to the priest, it is really to God they are doing it to in their hearts; and when they say the priest forgives them, it is just that he is doing it in the Name of the Lord; they can say what they want but they are partaking in the well known Babylonian, Satanic religion and have joined themselves to idols and committed spiritual fornication, which means death. They are dead
So the church and the state were married, The church joined up with idols. With the power of the state behind them they felt that now, “The kingdom had come and God’s will had been enforced upon the earth. “ No wonder the Roman Catholic Church is not looking for the return of the Lord Jesus. They are not millennialists. They have their millennium right here. The pope is reigning right now and God is reigning in him. So when he comes , according to them , it has to be when the new heavens and earth are prepared. But they are wrong. That pope is the head of the false church, and there is going to be a millennium, but while that is going on he won’t be in it. He will be somewhere else.
THE WARNING
Revelation 2:16 , “ Repent or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.”
What else can He say? Can God overlook the sin of those who have borne His Name in vain? There is only one way to receive grace in the hour of sin, REPENT. Confess you are wrong. Come to God for forgiveness and for the spirit of God. This is a command from God. To disobey is death, for He says, “ I will make war with you with the sword in My mouth.” The beast made war with the saints, but God will make war with the beast. Those who fought the Word will one day find the Word fighting them. It is a serious thing to take from, or add to the Word of God. For those who changed it and did with it as it suited them, what will their end be but death and destruction? But still the grace of God cried out, “Repent.” Oh , how sweet are the thoughts of repentance.
Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling. I bring my sorrow. I repent that I am what I am, and what I have done. Now it is the blood, nothing but the blood of Jesus . What will it be ? Repentance, or the sword of death”
It’s up to you.

If we are going to understand what the doctrine of Balaam is in the New Testament church we had better go back and see what if was in the Old Testament church and apply it to that third age and then bring it up to the present.
Tmhe story is found in Numbers Chapter 22 through 25. Now we know that Israel was the chosen people of God. They were the Pentecostals of their day. They had taken refuge under the blood, they had all been baptized in the Red Sea and they came up out of the waters, singing in the spirit and dancing under the energy of the Holy Ghost, while Miriam, the prophetess, played her tambourine. Well, after a certain time of journeying, these children of Israel came to Moab. You remember who Moab was. He was the son of Lot by one of his own daughters, and Lot in turn was a nephew of Abraham, so Israel and Moab were related. I want you to see that. The Moabites knew the truth, whether they lived up to it or not.
So Israel came up to the borders of Moab and sent messengers to the king saying, " We are brothers. Let us pass through your land. If our people or our animals eat or drink anything, we will gladly pay for it." But King Balak got very excited. That head of that Nicolaitane bunch was not about to let the church come through with its signs and wonders and divers manifestations of the Holy Ghost, with their faces shining with the glory of God. It was too risky, as he might lose some of his crowd. So Balak refused to let Israel pass through. In fact, so great was his fear of them, that he went to an hireling prophet called Balaam and asked him to mediate between him and God and petition the Almighty to curse Israel, and render them impotent. And Balaam, being eager to take part in political affairs and become a great man , was only too glad to do so. But seeing that he had to approach to, and receive and audience from God to get the people cursed, as he could not do it by himself, he went to ask God if he could have the permission to go. Now isn't that just like the Nicolaitanes we have with us today? They curse everyone that won't go their way
When Balaam asked God for permission go,God turned him down, My that stung! But Balak insisted, promising him even greater rewards and honor. So Balaam went back to God. Now one answer from God should have been enough. But not for self-willed Balaam. When God saw his perversity, he told him to get up and go. Quickly he saddled the donkey and away he went. He should have realized that this was simply God's permissive will and he wouldn't be able to curse them if he went twenty times and tried twenty times. How like Balaam are people today! They believe in three Gods, get baptized in three titles instead of the NAME, and yet God will sent the Spirit upon them as He did upon Balaam, and they will go on believing that they are exactly right, and here they are actually perfect Balaamites. See, the doctrine of Balaam. Go ahead anyway. Do it your way. They say, "Well, God has blessed us. It must be aright." I know he has blessed you. I don't deny that. But it's the same organizational route that Balaam took. It's defiance to God's word. It's false teaching.
So Balaam went wildly down the road until an angel from God stood in his way. But that prophet( bishop, cardinal, chairman, president and general overseer) was so blinded to Spiritual things by the thought of honor and glory and money that he could not see the angel standing with drawn sword. There he stood to block the mad prophet. The little donkey saw him and dodged back and forth until he finally crushed Balaam's foot against a stone wall. The ass stopped and would not go on. He could not. So Balaam jumped off and began beating him. The donkey then began to talk to Balaam. God let that donkey speak in a tongue. That donkey was no hybrid; he was original seed. He said to the blinded prophet, " Am I not your donkey, and haven't I carried you faithfully?" Balaam replied, "Yes, yes, you are my donkey and you have carried me faithfully until now; and if I can't get going, I'm going to kill you.......whoa! what's this, talking to a donkey? That's funny, I thought I heard the donkey talking and I was answering it back."
God has always spoken in a tongue. He spoke at Belshazzar’s feast and then at Pentecost . He is doing it again today. It’s a warning of soon coming judgment.
Then the angel was made visible to Balaam. He told Balaam that except for the donkey he would be dead even now for tempting God. But when Balaam promised to go back, he was sent on with the admonition to say only what God gave him.
So Balaam went down and set up seven altars for the clean beasts of sacrifice. He killed a ram signifying the coming of the Messiah. He knew what to do to approach unto God. He had the mechanics just right; but not the dynamics,; same as now. Can’t you see it, Nicolaitanes?
There was Israel down there in the valley, offering the same sacrifice, doing the same things, but only one had the sighs following. Only one had God in their midst. Form won’t get you anywhere, It can’t take the place of Spirit-manifestation. That is what happened at Nicaea. They put over Balaam’s doctrine, not the doctrine of God. And they stumbled; yea they fell. They became dead men.
After the sacrifice was made, Balaam was ready to prophesy. But God tied his tongue up and he could not curse them He blessed them.
Balak was very angry, but there was nothing that Balaam could do about the Prophecy. It had been spoken by the Holy Ghost,. So Balak told Balaam to go down, into the valley, and look upon their back parts to see if there wasn’t possibly some way he could curse them. The tactics that Balak used are the same tactics they use today. The big denominations look down at the little groups, and anything they find amongst them to make out a scandal they bring it out and shout it. If the moderns live in sin, no one says anything about it; but let one of the elect get into trouble and every paper blasts it across the country. Yes, Israel had her back(carnal) parts. They had their side that wasn’t praise-worthy; But in spite of their imperfections, by the purpose of God that works through election, by grace and not by works, THEY HAD THE CLOUD BY DAY AND THE PILLAR OF FIRE BY NIGHT, THEY HAD THE SMITTEN ROCK, THE BRAZEN SERPENT AND THE SIGNS AND WONDERS.
They were vindicated -not in themselves, but in God.
God didn’t have any respect for those Nicolaitanes with their PHD’s, LLD’s and all their fine organizations and the best that man could boast; but He did have respect unto Israel for they had the Word vindicated amongst them. Certainly Israel didn’t look too polished up, just having come out of Egypt in precipitous flight , but she was a blessed people anyway. All she had ever known for over three hundred years was herding flocks, tending fields and slaving away in fear of death under the Egyptians. But she was free now. She was a blessed people through the sovereignty of God. Certainly Moab looked down on her. All the other nations did too. Organization always looks down on the unorganized or destroy them when they won’t come,
Now someone might ask me, “Brother Brahman, what makes you think that Moab was organized while Israel was not? Where do you get that idea? “ I get it right here in the Bible. It is all typed out here. Everything written in the Old Testament that is in story form is written for our admonition so that we can learn from it. Here it is right in Numbers 23:9, “From the top of the rocks I see him, an from the hills I behold him; lo the people shall dwell ALONE and shall NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.” There it is. God looking down from the top of the rocks, not in some valley looking for their bad points and condemnng them . God seeing them the way He wanted to see them- from the height of love and mercy. They dwelt ALONE and they weren’t organized.They didn’t have a king. They had a prophet, and the prophet had God in him by the spirit; and the Word came to the prophet and the Word went to the people. They didn’t belong to the World Council of Churches, to the Baptists, Presbyterians, Assembly of God or any other group.They were joined to God. They didn’t need counsel from and council- they had “Thus saith the Lord” in their midst. Hallelujah!
Now in spite of the fact that Balaam knew the proper approach to God and could bring forth a revelation from the Lord by means of a special enduement of power, he was still, for all of that, a bishop in the false group. For what did he do now in order to win favor with Balak? He formulated a plan wherein God would be forced to deal with Israel in death. Just as Satan knew that he could beguile Eve(cause her to fall in fleshly sin) thus causing God to pass His pronounced sentence of death against sin , so Balaam knew that if he could get Israel to sin, God would have to deal with them in death . So he planned a way to get them to come over an join in sin. He sent out invitations to come to the feast of Baal-peor(come over and worship with us). Now Israel, no doubt, had seen the feasts of the Egyptians so they did not feel it was wrong to go and just look on and perhaps eat with the people. (What is wrong with fellowship anyway? We are supposed to love them , aren’t we, or how can we win them?)Being friendly never hurt anyone- or so they thought . But when those sexy Moabitish women began to dance and undress while they whirled around doing their rock and roll and twist, the lust rose up in the Israelites and they were drawn in to adultery, and God in wrath slew forty-two thousand of them.
And that is what Constantine and his successors did at Nicaea and after Nicaea. They invited the people of God to the convention. And when the church sat down to eat, and rose up to play(partaking of church form, ceremonies, and pagan feasts named after Christian rites) she was trapped; she had committed fornication . And God walked out.
When any man turns from the Word of God and joins a church instead of receiving the Holy Spirit, that man dies. Dead! That is what he is. Don’t join a church. Don’t get taken up with Creeds and tradition or anything that takes the place of the Word and the Spirit, or you’re dead. It’s all over. Your’re dead. Eternally separated from God!
That is what has happened in every age since. God delivers the people. They come out by the blood, sanctified by the Word, walk through the waters of baptism and get filled with the spirit; but after awhile the first love cools off and someone gets the idea that they ought to organize themselves, and they organize themselves right back in the second generation and sometimes even before then. They no longer have the Spirit of God, just a form of worship. They are dead They have hybridized themselves with creed and form and there is no life in them.
So Balaam got Israel to comment fornication Do you know that physical fornication is the very same spirit that lies in organized religion ? I said that the spirit of fornication is the spirit of organization. And all fornicators will have their place in the lake of fire. That is what God thinks of organization, And all fornicators will have their place in the lake of fire. That is what God thinks of organization. Yes sir , the whore and her daughters will be in the lake of fire.
Denominations are not of God. They never have been and never will be. It’s a wrong spirit that separates the people into hierarchy and laity; and it’s , therefore, a wrong spirit that separates the people from the people. That’s what organization and denominations do. In organizing they separate themselves from the Words of God, and bring themselves into spiritual adultery.
Now notice that Constantine gave special feasts unto the people. They were the old pagan feasts with new names taken from the church, or in some cases christian rites were taken and abused with pagan ceremonies. He took the worship of the sun-god and changed it to the Son of God. Instead of celebrating on December 21, which is when they used to celebrate the feast to the sun-god, they put it up to December 25th and called it the Son of God’s birthday. But we know that He was born in April when life comes forth,not in December. And they took the feast to Astarte and called it the Easter celebration wherein the Christian is supposed to celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord. Actually it was a pagan feast to Astarte.
They placed altars in the church. They put in images. They gave the people what they called the apostles’ creed, though you can’t find it in the Bible. They taught the people ancestor worship thereby making the Roman Catholic Church the greatest spiritistic church in the world. Every foul bird was in that cage. And you have the Protestants with their organizations doing the same thing.
They ate things sacrificed to idols. Now I don't say that this really means they were literally eating meats sacrificed to idols. For though the council of Jerusalem has spoken against such, Paul did not made much of it as he said the idols were nothing. It was just a matter of conscience except where it offended another brother and then it was not allowed. Furthermore, this Revelation has to do with Gentiles and not Jews as these are Gentile churches.I see this in the same light I see the words of the Lord, “Except ye eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you.
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. “ You can see that eating is actually partaking in a spiritual sense So when these people were bowing to the images, lighting candles, using pagan holidays, confessing their sins to men(all of which belongs to the devil’s religion.), they were partakers with the devil and not of the Lord. They were in idolatry whether they admitted it or not. They can talk all they want that the altars and the incense are only to remind them of the prayers of the Lord or whatever they think it means; and they can say that when they pray before the image it is just for the sake of emphasis; and that when they confess to the priest, it is really to God they are doing it to in their hearts; and when they say the priest forgives them, it is just that he is doing it in the Name of the Lord; they can say what they want but they are partaking in the well known Babylonian, Satanic religion and have joined themselves to idols and committed spiritual fornication, which means death. They are dead
So the church and the state were married, The church joined up with idols. With the power of the state behind them they felt that now, “The kingdom had come and God’s will had been enforced upon the earth. “ No wonder the Roman Catholic Church is not looking for the return of the Lord Jesus. They are not millennialists. They have their millennium right here. The pope is reigning right now and God is reigning in him. So when he comes , according to them , it has to be when the new heavens and earth are prepared. But they are wrong. That pope is the head of the false church, and there is going to be a millennium, but while that is going on he won’t be in it. He will be somewhere else.
THE WARNING
Revelation 2:16 , “ Repent or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.”
What else can He say? Can God overlook the sin of those who have borne His Name in vain? There is only one way to receive grace in the hour of sin, REPENT. Confess you are wrong. Come to God for forgiveness and for the spirit of God. This is a command from God. To disobey is death, for He says, “ I will make war with you with the sword in My mouth.” The beast made war with the saints, but God will make war with the beast. Those who fought the Word will one day find the Word fighting them. It is a serious thing to take from, or add to the Word of God. For those who changed it and did with it as it suited them, what will their end be but death and destruction? But still the grace of God cried out, “Repent.” Oh , how sweet are the thoughts of repentance.
Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling. I bring my sorrow. I repent that I am what I am, and what I have done. Now it is the blood, nothing but the blood of Jesus . What will it be ? Repentance, or the sword of death”
It’s up to you.

Christmas is a christianized version of the pagan holiday of Yule. I believe Easter derives many of it's traditions from pagan holiday of Ostara. Halloween coincides with Samhain. For more info on pagan holidays go here.
http://www.geocities.com/lavenderwater37/holidays.htm
http://www.geocities.com/lavenderwater37/holidays.htm
Reality check-
Christmas (the first celebration "mass" of Jesus Christ), pagans have x-mas..
There is all souls day for christians, then there is halloween for pagans...
There is easter celebration, when Jesus ressurected, and theres also the Easter Bunny for pagans...
Mardi-Gra is a christian feast celebration, then the pagans turned it into a sexual feast.
When the aztec indians used to offer up children as a sacrifice for their gods (idols), then Virgin Mary appeared and that same spot where children were offered up for idols, Virgin Mary requested that is where the church should be built in reparation for all the sins of murder commited, till today the church is standing...
There r many celebrations, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE WORLD HAS TO COUNTERACT AGAINST GOD, TO DISTRACT PEOPLE AWAY FROM TRUTH..
AND IF THE DEVIL DOES THAT, GOD ALSO DISTRACTS PEOPLE FROM IDOL WORSHIPING...TWO PLAYS THE SAME GAME....PAGANS HAVE THEIR OWN, CHRISTIANS HAVE THEIR OWN.
MAYBE THE CHRISTIANS HAVE DISTRACTED SOME IDOL CELEBRATION AND TURNED THAT SAME DAY AS CELEBRATI0N FOR GOD, BUT PAGANS ALSO DO THE SAME....

Why do you baptize in the Name of Jesus in place of the name of the “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost”?
Well, there is no such a thing as a name of “Father, Son, Holy Ghost.” That’s the reason. There was nobody in the Bible ever baptized in the Name of “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.” Every person in the Bible , or three hundred years this side the Bible, was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Not one apostle, not one Christian, not one time was the “Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost” ever used for baptism until the Catholic Church was organized at the Nicene Council, three hundred and six year's after the death of the last apostle.
There is no such a thing as name of ‘FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST. Father is not a name, Son is not a name, Holy Ghost is not a name. It’s three titles, three office titles to a Name: Jesus Christ. So therefore there is no such a thing as the name of “ Father, Son, Holy Ghost.” There’s no name to it so I baptize in the Name of Jesus Christ which is the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

May I ask who this person is? By who's authority can he say what is right, and what is wrong.
What is his educational background? And what are his beliefs WHICH HE CLAIMS TO BE THE TRUTH...
What is his denomination? Is he a member of a "Non denominational church"? Is that his denomination?
The bible have not said that internet porn is a sin. The bible have not said that THERE IS NO Holy Trinity (In fact the bible mentions clearly of the Holy Trinity and I will clarify this later). The bible have not said that ripping off the papers off the new testament and use it for rolling weed is a sin. The bible have not said that child molestation is a sin. The bible have not said that bombing America with atomic bombs is a sin. There are many things the bible have not said but are a sin.
So who gave this guy authority to- judge right from wrong?
Geez Lady, whats wrong with you? Can I get a straight answer from you? Were you raised all your life thinking the Pope is the anti-christ, the devil in the flesh and Catholics are all going to hell and the buddhist and all other religions too. Is this what you have been taught all your life? I want to know, Im curious....

Fact; 1. The Roman Catholic church is the ORIGINAL church...
Fact: 2. Jesus handed his authority over to Peter, "Feed my sheep". Jesus was the shepherd, and st. Peter was given that same role for the church...."Peter you are my rock, etc. whos sins u shall forgive they shall be forgiven, I will give u the keys to the gate of heaven, etc.".
Fact: 3. St. Peter handed his authority over to the next apostle who is to take over his place, St. Linus, years of reign, 67 to 76, after him is st.Anacletus 76-88, then St. Clement 88-97, (there are now 264 popes after st. Peter, today Pope John Paul 11, 1978- current.) In fact, st. Peter's tomb is still in Vatican Rome....
Are you arguing against this facts? Your bible CAME FROM US, That is stolen from us. Are you denying the historical fact of reformation?
Non denominational? Thats a lie, there is no such thing as "non denominational" denomination church...You listen to his interpretation, you listen to his sermons, thus you listen to his authority, OTHERWISE IF YOU DONT LISTEN TO HIS AUTHORITY, WHAT IF YOU THINK ITS OK TO BE GAY AND HE SAID IT IS NOT, WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG? THEN IT WILL END UP HE IS RIGHT, because he has authority IN HIS CHURCH...You are being decieved and lied to...
So what are you suggesting? That churches and denominations such as Braha.org are all commiting "SPIRITUAL ADULTERY"? If so, are we going to hell if we dont BECOME LIKE BRAHAM? So are you saying all the catholics in the past went to hell because there is no purgatory and they didnt repent for their "Idol" worshippinmg according to you..
So what are you saying? That all catholics went to hell including st. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis, St. Peter, those who compiled the bible are going to hell? After all they didnt confess because of their denominations...
Lady, what can u say about this? Ill wait for yur response....
Branham. org...I checked the webpage myself Lady. This guy started his ministry because according to him, he saw an angel and the angel told him to do this and that, like what happened to the apostle...
But why are u so quick on believing this? Jesus warned you about false prophets in the future, did you listen to Him?
How can you say the Roman Catholic church is the false church in Revelation when the fact is, we existed during the time of the apostles. St. peter founded our church, is st. Peter the anti-christ?
You heard of John Smith? The founder of mormons (Or Jehovas witness I think)..He have a story too...He said he saw a frog talking to him, and told him to do this and that, and later in years they change the original writings and said that he saw an angel, this was documented in Discovery channel...
There are even cults who said an angel told them to start a church with 20 wives, take David Karesh in Wacko Texas for example....And people actually listened to him...
You claimed to only believe in the bible, well Jesus said "Peter you are my rock and upon my rock I will build my CHURCH, and not the gates of hell shall prevail against it", and your bible might have changed the word "church" to "FOUNDATION", however u view it, that is a living proof that Jesus FOUNDED the Roman Catholic church through St. Peter, a historical fact, u want to deny this? and might as well deny the whole entire history in earth..Period, you are now like the atheists...

There are even cults who said an angel told them to start a church with 20 wives, take David Karesh in Wacko Texas for example....And people actually listened to him...
You claimed to only believe in the bible, well Jesus said "Peter you are my rock and upon my rock I will build my CHURCH, and not the gates of hell shall prevail against it", and your bible might have changed the word "church" to "FOUNDATION", however u view it, that is a living proof that Jesus FOUNDED the Roman Catholic church through St. Peter, a historical fact, u want to deny this? and might as well deny the whole entire history in earth..Period, you are now like the atheists...
