ANOTHER FALSE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION BY THE CHURCH

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 NLT

Virtually every church and every pastor misuses this scripture to try to convince believers that they must not forsake going to church, otherwise it would be sinning against God. Many Christians are being guilt tripped by this false teaching. This verse has nothing to do with “you must go to church”!

But, it is absolutely wrong to use Hebrews 10 verse 25 in such a way! The Greek and the context simply does not support it, and when we understand the true meaning of this verse, the entire idea of "going to church" as something we must do entirely falls apart.

What Hebrews 10 verse 25 actually tells us, is not to neglect or forsake the promise and blessed hope of our gathering to Jesus Christ at His coming and not to be like others who forsake their hope in Jesus’ return!

That’s why it says, that we are to encourage one another the more we see the day of His return approaching!

HEY PASTOR! YOU ARE NOT A SHEPHERD! By Edwin Christiaan

A pastor is supposed to follow the example of Jesus Christ who is a good shepherd that sacrifices His life for the sheep! But instead, you are unfriendly and prideful, and you don’t really care for the people God has entrusted to you. It is all about what you can get out of them. You control every aspect of their lives, and you make sure that they all pay their tithes and much more to you. You love money, and you are well trained in greed! You use false doctrines and make up all sorts of clever lies to get hold of the people’s money.

To you, everybody that comes in your church represent dollar signs. You like to put up a show of godliness, but it is just a way for you to become wealthy. You commit adultery with your eyes, and your selfishness is never satisfied as you lure unstable people into sin!
You are not managing your own family well. Your wife, just like yourself, is manipulative and controlling. She loves gossip and slanders others. It is no wonder that you have rebellious children who don’t respect and obey you.
The Bible is clear about this: For if a pastor cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
Pastors are supposed to be remembered as leaders who taught you the Word of God and the good that comes from their lives and the example of their faith in Christ!!!
