In His speaking to the church in Thyatira, the Lord introduced Himself as the Son of God, the One who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze (Rev. 2:18). He said that the church in Thyatira had a lot of works and endurance, and even more works toward […]
The Proper Church is the Body of Christ Teaching the Mysteries of God’s Economy
If we love the Lord and seek Him in His word we need to realize that, according to the divine revelation in the Bible, the Roman Catholic Church is the apostate church which teaches the deep things of Satan, for Satan’s concept and deep thought has saturated the apostate church.
