What purpose do all religions serve?

There are only two destinies after we die.

Do you feel like there is something missing in life?

Is Jesus Christ more than what is portrayed by status quo Christianity?

Excerpt

Elders are to be held accountable when they sin. Elders, pastors, deacons, priests, bishops, popes, apostles—whatever any leader may be called—are accountable to the Word of God (Bible). Yes, they are to be respected, as long as they are worthy of that honour. But as soon as they wander from the Word of God, any Christian who has knowledge of wrongdoing can confront the pastor or pastors, having two or more witnesses.

            1 Timothy 5:17–18 Let the elders that rule

            well be counted worthy of double honour,

            especially they who labour in the word

            and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou

            shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out

            the corn. And, the labourer is worthy of

            his reward.

            1 Timothy 5:19–21 Against an elder

            receive not an accusation, but before two

            or three witnesses. Them that sin rebuke

            before all, that others also may fear. I charge

            thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,

            and the elect angels, that thou observe these

            things without preferring one before another,

            doing nothing by partiality [emphasis mine].

Pastors have become gods; in many denomination, there is idolatry going on in high places. In many cases the position of pastor is equal to the position of Father in the Roman Catholic institution. They are not to be questioned, and their every wish is to be a command.

            Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father

            upon the earth: for one is your Father,

            which is in Heaven.

If that is the case where you are, come out from among them. You do not have to drink from their drunken, man-worshiping idolatry.

About the Author

John Wipf was part of the Hutterite religion for 18 years and was a member, college student, and a part time missionary in the Baptist denomination for 10 years. Other points of interest include:

●          Five years of theological studies (Baptist)

●          Mission work in Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, and Sri Lanka (Baptist)

●          Independent mission work in west central Manitoba, Canada (present)

●          Founder/CEO of a company that installs fertilizer and grain handling equipment in the prairies of Canada (present)

●          Husband and father of 2 boys and 2 girls, and 1 taken to heaven before birth, and 1 on the way.

John Wipf married Faith in June 2013. Our goal is to start a cattle ranch (as a retreat) to help people with their relationship with Jesus Christ and to tell people about the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Faith Wipf was born and bred a Baptist for 32 years. She then left with her “Honey Bear” John to begin their independent ministry. She is currently very busy raising four crazy, wonderful children and looking forward to waddling during the next few months. Homeschooling and the “dreaded” housework fill her days.

In the Blight of Denominationalism we cover part of our journey from religious bondage to true and free freedom in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Also covered in this book there are summaries of my study on some of the world’s renowned religions.
