IF THE CHURCH KNOWS THAT MARRIAGE IS A GOD-PLANE RELATIONSHIP, WHY IS MARRIAGE THE NO. 1 PROBLEM IN THE CHURCHES, AND IN THE WHOLE WORLD?

A simple logical reasoning should cause a trembling fear to every member, and especially, to every minister in the Churches! Nevertheless, Christ would continue to reveal and awaken the Church concerning this Great Mystery. The true understanding of marriage, and its application to the Church to become the BRIDE, is very important for Christ to return and establish God's Kingdom on earth! He led the Church to Ephesians (Ephesians 5:32).

By: LOPE COLUMNA

MESSIANIC-KABBALIST PASTOR GENERAL

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, MINISTRY OF LIFE

THIS IS A GREAT MYSTERY: BUT I SPEAK CONCERNING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH. (Eph 5:32)

Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA) had said several times that MARRIAGE IS A GOD-PLANE RELATIONSHIP. Thus, the WCG Ministry quoted Ephesians 5:32 in their articles and sermons. Somehow the Church was able to sense the gravity and importance of this great verse, but the Church were able to only superficially understood the very important verse. 

God's spirit was leading the Church to this truth, but she did not fully appreciate this! She did not study deeper into the words of God for more understanding of this very important subject. 

The Church has been taking the Great Mystery of Marriage very lightly! The idolatrous concepts of marriage from the world was attached so strongly to the psyche and minds of the ministry, and the ministers incorporated these idolatrous concepts in their teachings to the Church! The Church then became indifferent and blind to this great truth!

Powerful sermons, articles, and booklets about marriage were delivered and published. But God is constantly showing them by the fruits (great marital troubles) of the Church that they are just preaching polluted marriage doctrines! God was awakening the Church to the heavy import and significance of marriage. God is trying to refocus the attention of the Church to the great subject of marriage so she could start preparing for the coming marriage of the Lamb. The ministry's pride and feeling of infallibility prevented God's revelation from getting through!

There were many other attempts by God to inculcate into the heart and mind of the Church the greatness of this mystery, but she would not take heed!

THE CHURCH HAD INDEED FALLEN, BUT SHE WOULD NOT CONSIDER WHY

• Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your menorah out of its place, unless you repent. (Rev 2:5 HNV)

The height of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) glory and prominence are now all gone. The Plain Truth Magazine is no more. Ambassador College, the multi-awarded most beautiful campus in the US is now a residential area. The powerful World Tomorrow TV and Radio Program are now wiped out in all stations worldwide. The world-renowned Ambassador Auditorium was already sold. Church great speakers (evangelists, pastors, and ministers) had lost their wisdom and power. Garner Ted Armstrong, was humbled dishonorably from his height of popularity in the World Tomorrow broadcasting.

Mr. Herbert Armstrong himself died with disappointment as he left the Church unprepared and not ready for the coming marriage of the Lamb. Just before he died, he shouted to the entire Church, "most of you don't get it!" And worse, the very Church that HWA founded and of which he spent most of his life for, had labeled him as a false prophet, and with many other personal accusations that are not suitable mentioning here! All of his teachings were either thrown away or burned! A very sad story indeed!

And all because HWA and his WCG did not heed God's message and warnings concerning the Great Mystery of Marriage!

THE REASON WHY THE WCG HAD FALLEN, AND THE OTHER CHURCHES ARE ABOUT TO FALL!

Why did the WCG have such a very tragic ending? Is it not that the WCG is the True Church of God? Why did God allow this to happen?

The answers to the above questions are the answers to the following similar questions. Why did Israel and Judah ended with captivity and destruction by their enemies? Are they not the chosen nations and people of God? Why did God allow this to happen? Why did God allowed even His Temple in Jerusalem to be destroyed?

From the words of Jesus Christ, her husband,

• Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. (Rev 2:4)

The original WCG surely had fallen, as prophesied because she would not listen to God's voice and warnings! She had lost her first love to Christ.

What is that "first love"?

That "first love" is keeping the first commandment of the Ten Commandments! I will explain this "first love" in more details in an upcoming article.

Her heart and affections have been diverted away from Christ! She was focused too much on the preaching of the "gospel" to all the world! The most important part of God's Work -- the INNER work of preparing the Church to marry Christ was neglected!

Doing Christ's Work is very different from doing Your Work for Christ! This is where the Church had fallen!

DID HWA AND THE CHURCHES COMMIT THE SAME MISTAKE THAT MOSES DID!

Moses is a great leader, yet he disbelieved and rebelled against God. HWA is also a great leader. Did he also disbelieve and rebel against God at some point of his ministry? Both of them were not allowed by God to bring His people to the physical Promised Land (or Place of Safety).

This is not to put down HWA, as the Bible also records the failures, sins, and mistakes of the great Bible personalities, like Moses, David, Peter, and others, not to put them down, but for us ALL to learn from their mistakes and failures! We are not taking human sides here. The only side that we should be is in the side of the Lord, not to any human personality, no matter how great achievements they have done. Otherwise, we will be guilty of idolatry!

We are commanded by God to be NOT respecter of persons. And we are strongly commanded to have no other gods before Him!

Are the Churches today and their leaders unknowingly committing the same mistake of Moses?

Just like Moses, HWA died with a broken heart, feeling unfulfilled in his dreams. Moses and HWA were both used by God mightily to fulfill major aspects of His Master Plan. Yet, both of these great men of God, unknowingly disappointed God by some of their actions and decisions. Actions and decisions that they committed because they failed to see the significance as God sees it.

What is it that most of the ministers and members of the Church did not get? And why did they not get it?

ALL THE CHURCHES SHOULD LEARN THOSE VITAL LESSONS FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WCG.

Otherwise, history will again repeat itself!

Is the Church you now belong still missing the dimension that Moses and HWA failed to see?

Are you the human leader or Pastor General of your particular Church Group that came out from WCG? If you are, please learn the lessons of history. Please study and learn those particular failures of Moses and HWA. Please study the history of the WCG.

You may say that you are continuing the work started by HWA. But beware, you may be also continuing the serious mistakes committed by HWA! Moses and HWA ended up with tears and disappointment!

Please learn, for your own salvation's sake, the mistakes of Moses, HWA, the WCG, the PCG, the Splinter Groups, and other Church history.

• If a Man sleeps with a Man as with a Woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.  (20:13)

• If a man sleeps with a Menstruating Woman and has sexual intercourse with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from their people.  (20:18)

• You must not have sexual intercourse with your Mother's sister or your Father's sister, for it is exposing one's own blood relative; both people will bear their punishment.  (20:19)

• If a Man marries his Brother's Wife, it is impurity. He has shamed his brother; they will be childless.  (20:21)

MAKEUP & COSMETICS EXPOSE WOMEN TO ADULTERY, PROSTITUTION, RAPE, and Other IMMORAL SEX PRACTICES. They Are Making Themselves Ugly and Abominable in God's Eyes. God Promised To Destroy Them!

The EYES are the portals of the spirit and passion of adultery and other sexual lusts. For Men, the sexual temptations are from the OUTSIDE TO THE INSIDE of their minds and hearts; defiling them to commit adultery and the many other sexual perversions. For Women, the use of Makeup and Cosmetics does the reverse: the Temptation is from the INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE!

By: LOPE COLUMNA
MESSIANIC-KABBALIST PASTOR GENERAL  

The BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY OF LIFE

THE USE OF MAKEUP AND COSMETICS DECEIVED WOMEN TO THINK THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFYING THEMSELVES! BUT, THE TRUTH IS => Their BEAUTY BECOMES UGLINESS AND ABOMINATION!

The Bible called Makeup and Cosmetics as PAINT, and using Makeup as "painting the eyes." Makeup and Cosmetics are expensive, yet women, are still spending money for these vain beauty products. Why? For what purpose? 

• And you devastated one, what are you doing that you dress yourself in scarlet, that you adorn yourself with gold jewelry, that YOU ENLARGE YOUR EYES WITH PAINT? YOU BEAUTIFY YOURSELF FOR NOTHING. Your lovers reject you; they want to take your life.  (Jer 4:30)

• YOU... TURNED YOUR BEAUTY INTO AN ABOMINATION. (Eze 16:25 HCSB)

WOMEN USING MAKE-UP AND COSMETICS BELONGS TO THE CATEGORY OF THE JEZEBEL-TYPE EVIL WOMAN, THE STRANGE WOMAN!

By using Makeup and Cosmetics, women manipulate and color their eyes. Maybe, they don't realize it; but by doing so, women are making their eyes as the sources of sexual temptations for men. Here, we can see the power of the eyes to cause men and women to sin against God. For women using makeup and cosmetics,don't be liked the wicked "beautiful" woman named Jezebel (2King 9:30-37)! 

WOMEN, LEARN GRAVE LESSONS FROM THE CASE OF JEZEBEL

• When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, so SHE PAINTED HER EYES, ADORNED HER HEAD, and looked down from the window.  (2Ki 9:30)

• "Take care of THIS CURSED WOMAN and bury her..."  (2Ki 9:34)

• ... In the plot of land at Jezreel, the dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh.  (2Ki 9:36)

MAKE-UP AND COSMETICS DESTROY FAMILIES AND DEFILE GOD'S SANCTUARY! 

• They also did this to Me: they defiled My sanctuary on that same day and profaned My Sabbaths.  (Eze 23:38)

• On the same day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to profane it. Yes, that is what they did inside My house.  (Eze 23:39)

• In addition, they sent for men who came from far away when a messenger was dispatched to them. And look how they came! YOU bathed, PAINTED YOUR EYES...  (Eze 23:40)

• You sat on a luxurious couch with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and oil.  (Eze 23:41)

MAKE-UP AND COSMETICS SUBJECT WOMEN TO  PROSTITUTION, RAPE, ADULTERY, IDOLATRY, AND REBELLION! 

• Yet they had sex with her AS ONE DOES WITH A PROSTITUTE. This is how they had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, Those OBSCENE WOMEN.  (Eze 23:44)

• But righteous men will judge them the way ADULTERESSES and those who shed blood are judged, for THEY ARE ADULTERESSES and BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS.  (Eze 23:45)

• This is what the Lord GOD says: Summon an assembly against them and CONSIGN THEM TO TERROR and PLUNDER.  (Eze 23:46)

MAKE-UP AND COSMETICS CAUSE INDECENCY IN WOMEN. THEY WILL BE DESTROYED BY GOD!

As God cursed and destroyed Jezebel, who is a heavy user of makeup and cosmetics, so God will destroy those women who followed her immoral practice. Women, take warning! 

• So I WILL PUT AN END TO INDECENCY in the Land, and ALL THE WOMEN WILL BE ADMONISHED NOT TO IMITATE YOUR INDECENT BEHAVIOR.  (Eze 23:48)

• THEY WILL REPAY YOU FOR YOUR INDECENCY, and YOU WILL BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR SINS OF IDOLATRY. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD."  (Eze 23:49)

It's the Simple Reason that Their Source is the Chief of The Fallen Angels, which is Also the Source of Witchcraft and Sorcery!

OBEY GOD'S LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS, WITH THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS GIVEN TO MOSES (Malachi 4:4)

• For the Commandment is a Lamp; and the Law is Light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of Life; TO KEEP YOU FROM THE EVIL WOMAN, from the FLATTERY OF THE TONGUE OF A STRANGE WOMAN.  (Pro 6:23-24 MKJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, says:

When we consider how much this sin abounds, how heinous adultery is in its own nature, of what evil consequence it is, and how certainly it destroys the spiritual life in the soul, we shall not wonder that the cautions against it are so often repeated. And shall Christians, who have such prospects, motives, and examples, be slothful and careless? Shall we neglect what is pleasing to God, and what he will graciously reward? May we closely watch every sense by which poison can enter our minds or affections. -- MHCC

AVOID THE EVIL EYE. MAKE A COVENANT WITH YOUR EYES NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A LUSTFUL AND ADULTEROUS INITIATION.

As men should have a covenant with their eyes not to look at women lustfully (Job 31:1), women should also have a covenant with their eyes, not to paint, or not to put makeup and cosmetics on their eyes! A covenant is of a sacred and binding nature.

• I MADE A COVENANT WITH MY EYES, how then SHOULD I LOOK LUSTFULLY AT A YOUNG WOMAN? (Job 31:1 HNV)

• DO NOT LUST AFTER HER BEAUTY in your Hearth; NOR LET HER TAKE YOU WITH HER EYELIDS.  (Pro 6:25 MKJV)

From Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: 
Talk not of the charms in her face, neither be thou smitten with her amorous glances; they are all snares and nets; let her not take thee with her eye-lids. Her looks are arrows and fiery darts; they wound, they kill, in another sense than what lovers mean; they call it a pleasing captivity, but it is a destroying one, it is worse than Egyptian slavery." -- HENRY

From Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary: 
take — or, "ensnare."
eyelids — By painting the lashes, women enhanced beauty. -- JFK

Thus, the COVENANT WITH THE EYES (Job 31:1) => Not to involve in a lustful and adulterous desires is applicable to both Men and Women. 

If you are a WOMAN, make it your Covenant not to use Makeup and Cosmetics, whatsoever. Just let your natural beauty, as given to you by God, to appear and shine. Otherwise, if you use Makeup & Cosmetics, you are acting indecently, making yourself a source or cause of sin.

If you are a MAN, make a Covenant with your eyes NOT to look at indecent women with Makeup and Cosmetics (Matthew 5:28-29). 

• ... everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.  (Mat 5:28 HNV)

• If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehinnom.  (Mat 5:29 HNV)

From the Group: IN GOD WE TRUST

MissRocki Irwin A little cosmetics to make oneself look and feel better is not a sin. When it is used to entice and devour men then it is a sin.

Lope Columna II That's a dangerous belief MissRocki Irwin. It is against God's Teaching. A little leaven, leavens the whole lump (1Cor 5:6-7, Galatians 5:9).

MissRocki Irwin
 
Lope Columna II Christ set us free from sin. This means that we are NOT TO GO BACK TO SINS. And SIN is defined as the TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW (1John 3:4-8). Therefore, we are now to obey God's Law, even in Spirit. Don't be deceived by the False Doctrine of Men.

MissRocki Irwin 1 John 3:23... And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as He gave us commandment.

Lope Columna II Christ said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments. (Joh 14:15 KJV).
