Jesus Christ Did Not Say...

by Van Robison
  1. "Blessed are those who go to church".
  2. "Submit to the authority of pastors".
  3. "The Bible is infallible".
  4. "The apostle Paul is inerrant".
  5. "The apostle Paul is the Way, the Truth, and the Life".
  6. "Salvation is bought with tithes".
  7. "Eternal life is gained by sowing "seed money" into television ministries".
  8. "Your sins are forgiven by going to church".
  9. "Life revolves around preachers and churches".
  10. "Touch not mine anointed".
  11. "Fear your leaders".
  12. "Attend church on Saturday or Sunday".
  13. "Attend the church of your choice".
  14. "Protestantism is the truth".
  15. "The Roman Catholic Church is my representative on earth".
  16. "Mormonism is the church of the latter day saints".
  17. "Jehovah Witnesses are the heralds of truth".
  18. "Religious leaders are your masters".
  19. "It is a sin to not go to church".
  20. "Build physical church buildings, and fill the pews with financial contributors".
  21. "Let paid hirelings and professional clergy do your thinking".
  22. "Don't challenge religious leaders of churches".
  23. "Pastors are the living waters of life".
  24. "Follow seminary trained clergy leaders".
  25. "Pastors, senior pastors, reverend pastors, and doctor pastors are a special class of people who rule over my followers".
Virtually none of the above statements were ever made by Jesus Christ in the four Gospels, and yet virtually every point is adhered to by many different clergy individuals and their followers, based upon the fruit of their lives.
