Dear Friends,

This week we are issuing the paper The Man of Sin and the Apostasy (No. 299E) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p299e.html. We had given an outline of the Man of Sin and the Apostasy in paper FAQ Bible Study New Testament (No. 058) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p058.  The comments there in the FAQ are expanded.

“Q. II Thessalonians

With the Church being so scattered, how do you see the scriptures in IIThessalonians 2:3-4, 6 concerning the man of sin “sitting in the temple of God?” In verse 6 what exactly is it that “withholdeth?”

A: The Great Apostasy has been occurring over many centuries. It commenced in Rome and spread from the 4th century to the entire Christian Church. This falling away from the truth has been constant. The effect has been the total persecution of God’s people trying to obey the Laws of God for centuries.

In the last days, it is given to the false system to wear out the Saints of the Most High. In a sense, this was already effected last century when the papacy declared the Pope as the Vicar of Christ and God on earth. As head of a system that follows the man of sin and son of perdition, we expect that the apostasy will continue and take over the very last of the Sabbath-keeping people, wearing them out and reducing their power.

This has happened in the last three decades with virtually the entire Church of God ministry in all branches becoming advocates of the Binitarian/Trinitarian system of the Triune God. Only a very few are left who adhere to the original doctrine of the Church established by the Apostles. Very few adhere to the Laws of God and follow Christ as the Great Angel of the Old Testament who gave the Law to Moses, as was taught by the first and second century Churches.

Paul says in verse 7: “For the mystery of iniquity does already work:”. God lets it happen “until he be taken out of the way.” Who was there and was let go until the last and “be taken out of the way”? The answer can only be one being and that is the adversary, Satan. The mystery of iniquity is the basis of this system and so, through the Mystery Cults, Satan works the apostasy that deceives, if it were possible, even the very elect.

Thus, Satan is he who sits in the Temple of God calling himself “God,” and every minister who follows him and teaches the false doctrines of the Easter system is “the man of sin” in that he is Satan’s representative on earth as part of the Sun system. Only a few people will survive in the Church in the last days to do the job and bring about the publication of affliction and the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

In that process, the restoration will occur and the conversion of Judah and the call of the people to Jerusalem will be commenced. Until that time, we have to be refined in fire. Look at the papers Calling the Peoples to Jerusalem (No. 238); The Messages of Revelation 14 (No. 270). There are two factors which also affect this process and these are covered in the papers: The Warning of the Last Days (No. 44) and Gideon’s Force and the Last Days (No. 22).”

The Man of Lawlessness and the Antinomian system of these Apostates is also covered in the Psalms and we have dealt with that now in the paper.

One of the most extraordinary things we have noted in the Antinomian attacks on the Laws of God and on the Churches of God is the declaration that CCG exposition of the Trinitarian forgeries in the Bible, and especially the KJV, that have been common knowledge among Bible scholars for centuries is a fabrication.  

We have written on and exposed the forgeries in the papers. However these forgeries are denied as reality by the undereducated Antinomians that were formerly of the churches of God, that have in fact become Trinitarians. They openly attack me as a false witness against these Trinitarian forgeries when it is common knowledge and is part of the consistent attacks on the laws of God and the Churches of God by these Binitarian/Trinitarian Antinomians over the centuries.

The problem is that these people don’t know enough to even know what are the forgeries in the texts that have been observed before the 1611 KJV was published. They are an example of wilful ignorance and false accusation through wilful ignorance. For example the forgery in 1 Timothy 3:16 in the Alexandrinus that is openly published on the internet and can be Googled with ease and which shows the forgeries in different ink and which only exists in the codex Aleph is denied even though it has been openly published in the Companion Bible and by Bullinger’s notes for a century. So also 1Jn 5:7 where they invented a verse to substantiate the Trinity in the KJV when no such verse existed. So also the Jewish alterations of the MT to change Yahovah to adonai in 133 places to disguise the subordinate relationship of Christ and which suited the Trinitarians to go along with. So also the many changes of elohim by the Sopherim. Now all of these are known and both the Jews and the Trinitarians are silent on the matter as it suits them and the Ditheist/Binitarian/Trinitarian Apostates working within the churches of God attack we who expose their lies and their false theology. To examine such hypocrisy and simple disgusting ignorance protecting Binitarian and Trinitarian apostasy in the churches of God and former churches of God one simply has to go to a Facebook forum on the WCG and other churches of God and their mindless ignorance is there for all to see.   CCG also has a Facebook site under Christian Churches of God which examines many errors.

To verify the alterations by the Sopherim one merely has to go to the appendices of the Companion Bible for the lists and also read the footnotes to establish the countless forgeries in the KJV that these Antinomians deny even exist. Look up the RSV, LXX and the DSS in Deuteronomy 32:8 and you will see another proven forgery in the KJV and the MT by the Sopherim.  They are endless. This is the Antinomian fallacy which is part of the mystery of Iniquity and the Apostasy of the Churches of God that has caused havoc over the centuries and is now attempting to destroy us once and for all.  The enemies of God are in our own house as well as the Antinomian and Trinitarian system outside of it. There is no cure for the double minded mental incompetence of these morons.

Messiah will come to deal with them soon.
