Sabbath 20/10/33/120

Dear Friends,

This message is to discuss the massive split in Kenya of the Roman Catholic Church. There are in effect four divisions now that have formed from the Roman Catholic Church over recent times. The splits arose out of the abuse scandals and the problems associated with unmarried priests and other issues with the unbiblical nature of some doctrines.

Historically, the rise of Monasticism in the Twelfth Century and the monastic takeover of the Roman Catholic Church and the eradication of female deaconesses and married priests were viewed with dismay. It has resulted, over the years, in massive disaffection and in effect caused the Reformation in Christianity.  The Reformation was necessary to preserve the Trinitarians’ system and stop Sabbatarians from taking over before their time.

Many priests in Catholicism are cohabiting with females and have children that they do not publicly acknowledge. This situation is causing many problems. It has been the case since they took over.

In Africa this practice is causing resentment and also the doctrines are major problem also. The dropout rate in the RCC is massive and especially in Kenya.

Over recent times the RCC based divisions that have formed there are:
The Ecumenical Church of Christ;
The Reformed Church of Christ;
The Independent Charismatic Catholic Church; and lately,
The Catholic Church of Christ.

On Friday 17 December 2010 the leaders of the new split ordained 10 married priests, and another series of them (14) were ordained on Wednesday 22 December 2010. This was the solstice and was perhaps chosen for that fact. The bishop of this recent schism is former Fr., now Bishop Shiundu who is headquartered at Kitale.

These divisions are taking away approximately 50% of the Catholics in Kenya and the concentration is occurring in Western, Eastern and Nyanza provinces. What these schisms are in fact doing is forcing many Roman Catholics to look at the doctrines of the Bible and many are in fact examining the basic tenets of the faith.  Many are coming to question what they actually believe.

CCG does not expect large groups of the RCC to come to CCG, and indeed we would be alarmed if such were the case. However what is happening is that many individuals are coming to our coordinators and asking for answers as to what the early church said and did, and what the Bible says.

Four of our coordinators attended an interdenominational meeting in Kisumu this week. They printed four hundred A1s to deal with the issues and handed 150 to the other ministry there, including the SDA ministry. They were fascinated with the expositions of the doctrines and the actual history of the SDAs themselves. Some of the younger ministry did not realise that they only became Trinitarians as a church in 1978 and before that were Biblical Unitarians wholly before 1931. The laity remained Biblical Unitarian until they were forced to adopt Trinitarianism publicly by 1978. That declaration is progressively losing them Africa.

The Sabbatarian Churches in Africa are joining us in large numbers and we believe that the last of the former COG (SD) groups in Kenya have just asked to join us from the Rift Valley. The COG (SD) churches there had left on the declaration of Binitarianism in 1995 and Trinitarian Protestantism in 1999 in the US.

The far flung distribution of our churches is a significant factor in reaching those who are seeking for the truth and it appears that this will be instrumental in the movement of many people from the RCC schisms in Kenya and in Africa generally.

There is a massive stirring of the African people to a thirst for the truth of the Bible. It is not just stirring the Christians, it is affecting the Animists and the Muslims also. Many Muslims are being brought to the faith. Also the Muslim women are being reached and they are staying at home and studying and the faith is spread from house to house. Fundamentalist Islam has become so morally bankrupt that the females of the society are completely disillusioned with what has become Modern Islam and they wish to restore the original Faith and its biblical basis and the early Christian Faith. In that way they are able to make sense of the Koran. That is only possible by abandoning the Hadith (which are the later traditions of Islam). In the same way the Church Councils must be abandoned to get back to the original Faith once delivered to the saints. That is what is starting to happen in Kenya and is the force behind these schisms.

The corruption of Christianity and Islam is a recognised disgrace and people wish to get back to the truth.

This desire for truth is spreading throughout the world. CCG is being approached by many people from many nations. We are even being approached by former WCG people who were so disillusioned with the WCG that they simply walked away and spent the last fifteen years or more in seclusion. God is restoring them now.

We are seeing Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox and Muslims coming to us with a new search for the faith. We have people, who were Atheists in Russia and Georgia and the other satellites, come to us by a simple process of elimination on biblical truth. So also is it from Islam. WCG was years in Jordan and never made a convert. CCG never went there and yet they come to us. So also is it happening in Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and the Yemen and into Arabia generally.

The WCG system could never have reached Muslims with their heretical Ditheist doctrines and they never did (see the paper Ditheism (No. 076B)). Now some of the offshoots call it Binitarianism and they will have no more success. Why? Because anyone with half a brain realises that One True God means ONE and not two, or three, or whatever (see the paper Binitarian and Trinitarian Misrepresentation of the Early Theology of the Godhead (No. 127B)). Eloah is the One True God alone. He is the Elyon, or Most High. He is Ha Elohim and Yehovih (SHD 3069).

Antinomianism has the West by the throat due to their inability to obey simple instructions but the rest of the world is not as wilful or as insolent to God. The West is of two main religions. The general religion is Evolution and the attendant lies associated with it, usually under the guise of Atheism. The second is Antinomian Gnosticism in its variant forms of the Sun cults. The biblical system comes a very long way behind and is viewed as an heretical system by these so-called “mainstream” people. Most are simply ignorant of biblical theology and history. They brand groups who disagree with their fables as cults.

This basic conflict of the Last Days will consolidate the original church that restores the faith. Messiah will come to save it and enforce the Bible system. He will enforce the Laws of God and the Calendar of the One True God in the Temple system, with its Sabbaths New Moons and Feasts determined from the conjunction. People will obey or be disciplined. The schisms will continue until the lies are eliminated. Falsehood cannot maintain unity in the faith. The Triune system of the Sun cults cannot survive and the Mother of the Sun system and her harlot daughters will not survive.  That destruction is now occurring and soon Mystery Babylon will be destroyed.
