Jesus prayed that all who would believe in Him would be one, sanctified (set apart) by the truth.
But within 150 years, new teachings, including the observance of Easter, were declared as “doctrines” to the Roman Emperor.
The Church was no longer united by the example of Jesus and His teachings.
Keeping the Commandments
Jesus instructed His disciples to “make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.”
Did you know that today only those who are baptized into the Name of Jesus, and keep the commandments of God and Christ, according to His example, receive the comfort of the holy spirit as evidenced by the tongue emitting sound, laleo glossa?
The Abomination of Desolation
In 193, the bishop of Rome wrote letters of excommunication to the churches of Asia because they disagreed on the observance of Easter, and the evidence of the holy spirit, the spirit of truth, was taken from the Church. The saints were given into the hand of the Antichrist for time, times and half a time, 3 1/2 years, or 1278 days, as years, from 193 until 1471, when the first Protestant Denomination broke free from the Papacy.
The same bishop of Rome taught that the Spirit of Christ was the spirit of God which made Jesus to be God Himself.
The Apostle John called this THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRIST. The Apostles told us that the Spirit of Christ was the Word, the speaker and image of the invisible God, who spoke creation into being in Genesis 1.
