A true church is not a mega churchApril 14, 2014 / King James Bible truth
A Biblical church is a body of believers. A Biblical church is not a building. A Biblical church looks quite different than the buildings today. Modern mega churches are preparing for the one world religious system spoken of in Revelation 13. There is nothing Biblical about a mega church, unless you attribute it to Revelation 13.
Today we’re going to look at just what is going on in the mega churches of today. First, lets get one thing clear. What is a church?
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
God didn’t purchase a building. He purchased believers.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
New Testament Christians met in houses (Romans 16:5)
New Testament Christians never built giant buildings and invited the unsaved in. Paul went out and evangelized, street preached, taught in public schools, and preached door to door.
He didn’t have a building where millions stood around him as he taught them how to get successful in life.
So what changed?
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
A worldwide apostasy has to come before the man of sin is revealed.
This is what we see today.
The mega church movement is the ideal setting for one world worship.
I would like to show you some photos.
Millions of people
Mass entertainment, globe, lighting.
dancing and shows
This is not a Biblical church.
What is it?
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Great authority? Those in great authority are seen around the world.
**Yep - last I checked, both Charles Stanley and Joel Osteen put out their Sunday morning services on the (wicked)Lifetime Channel - TLC is a MAINSTREAM network. Pt being that it costs ALOT of $$$ to put out a non-commercial programming on television, period.Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
How can all the world wonder after someone unless he is on every screen in every building? The antichrist is connected to a system of worship.
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
It’s a system of worship. And these false churches are preparing the way for it.
A massive building with massive screens, massive speakers, crowds, all of these things are preparing the way for one world worship.
This is seen by the spiritual state of the mega church movement. Sound doctrine has been replaced with unity and compromise. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ has been replaced with feeling good and so called tolerance. The truth has been replaced with lies. The Bible has been replaced with stories. Hell and damnation have been replaced with success and prosperity. All they need now it the man of sin they are waiting for.
We are living in perilous times and we cant stop them. We need to get back to the King James Bible, and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to do public ministry and stop building buildings that the man of sin will one day appear in. We need to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ will be returning very soon.

It's not just the megachurches, but even the medium-sized churches have these flatscreen tvs behind their pulpits - ultimately, it's being used for mind-control(ie-no longer do pews read out of the hymn books and bibles, but just blindly read off of what's on these tv screens). And when all is said and done, these "pastors" will say how it's Jesus Christ coming back when this man of sin shows up on these flatscreen tvs.
