==Sexual abuse is covered up== | |||
People in the message believe that they are the spiritual "creme de la creme". Denominations are of the devil. People who attend non-message churches are spiritually inferior to them. | |||
As a result, when sexual or spousal abuse takes place in a message church, they do everything in their power to cover it up so that their church will not be viewed in a bad light. We have interacted with numerous people who experience abuse, either sexually or spousal abuse, and were told to keep quiet. In fact, our initial reason for leaving the message church that we attend for several decades was because the pastor covered up the sexual abuse of a minor. He publicly humiliated a police officer in the church who had filed a police report about the incident. That was the last service we attended at that church. | |||

Separate yourself from your unbelief, and believe God's Word. God will make It manifest to you. Right. 90 Genesis 12, God said, "Separate yourself from all your kindred and from everything around you." Oh, my, we can't separate ourself from card-playing! Huh! | |||

71 Now, we're in the evening time. And the messengers down through the age… We find out that at the beginning when a messenger was sent, to—to misconstrue His Word or to doubt one Word, it was total annihilation and Eternal separation from God, to misconstrue that messenger's Word. And the first Messenger was God Himself. And the… Every other messenger has been God speaking through man, since, which is God's Word, for there's no man then for Him to speak through but just the one He was talking to. But since He's made man and redeemed man, it's been God speaking through man. He uses not the—the agency of—of any mechanical device, but the agency of man, a man that's surrendered and consecrated to God. | |||
