I have titled this book 'A Christian's Last Bible Study' because after a person partakes in the studies that I share in this book, that person will be forced to make a decision as to follow Jesus or to follow the Church. And I'm convinced that after studying Jesus' words, Jesus will set us free from all church deceptions, and we will no longer feel as though we belong in a Christian Church. This certainly would be your last Bible study, but perhaps your last one as a Christian.
We need to ponder, who is a 'true Christian'? Is it the person a 'true Christian' when they keep all of the Christian Church's doctrines and teachings and accept the Church's creeds? Or is a person a 'true Christian' when they follow the teachings of Jesus the Christ?
Perhaps right now you don't see the difference between Jesus' teachings and the Church's teachings, however that will become clear as you continue to study this book. Once you understand the difference you will be forced to choose between following Jesus' teachings or the Christian Church's teachings.
And as I will show you, there is a great deal of difference between what Jesus taught and what the Christian Church's doctrines teach. The teachings of Jesus and the teachings of the Church doctrines are often not compatible, and often they contradict each other. And, ultimately, we all have to choose whether to follow the Church's teachings or follow Jesus' teachings. If we chose to follow Jesus' teachings, we will be a 'true Christian' by Jesus' standard, but we will be a heretic by the standard of the Christian Church.
This book has thirteen chapters in which will tells us why we must reject Christian Church doctrines and creeds. I have added the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters as a bonus, partially explaining why the Christian Church has been derailed from God's narrow path leading to eternal life.
So, put your seat belt on, lower your defenses by setting aside manmade creeds and church doctrines, and open your mind to Jesus' words, and then hang on for a ride that will change your life now, as well as your eternal life.
About the author
I attended a major Protestant seminary, but in my senior year I found that it was impossible reconcile Jesus' words with Christian Church doctrines, so I had to choose between Jesus and the Church. I chose to follow Jesus and dropped out of the seminary. In keeping with Jesus' words, I made him my only teacher. So, I set the rest of the New Testament aside, set church doctrine aside, and focused on Jesus' words alone. After focusing on Jesus' words, I had to separate myself from the Christian Church to follow Jesus. After 70 years in the Christian Church, I now understand how its worship dishonors both Jesus and God, but it honors the beast. I will explain all of that and more in this book.
