Андрей Викторович Шибанов - Leave Your Pastor

church leaders, pastors and priests claim, and by doing so they reveal their love for falsehood. You must be aware of church leaders and some others among you who are ignorant and lawless. They twist the Scriptures to achieve their wicked goals:

And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. You, therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your stability. – 2 Peter 3:15-17

Do not let these ignorant people carry you away by their demonic arguments. Disfellowshipping is a false practice used by these greedy for power church leaders to eliminate their opponents, to protect their organization.

Even before the creation of Catholic Church organization in the fourth century and other so-called churches later, the form of excommunication has already been practiced. The chief priests and Pharisees have arrested Jesus Christ and executed him. They said:

Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish." – John 11:50

So with the church leaders and their followers, their foolishness will be known to many.

“Church family” exposed

…for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. – 1 John 4:20

Jesus Christ and apostles taught you that no one can love God if he does not love his brothers in Christ! Your church leaders mislead you by saying that the members of your organization are one big family in Christ: Catholic family, Baptist family, ICOC family, etc. There are many disciples of Jesus Christ whom you do not know just because they do not belong to your organization, and they still do the will of God, but your church leaders instruct you to ignore them.

Don’t you know that even Satanists love members of their demonic organizations? For example, ex-satan worshipper and now a fellow disciple of Christ by the name John Ramirez writes in his book “Out of Devil’s Cauldron” that when he was in devil-worshipping, he had a close relationship with Satan whom he called daddy. He used to obey Satan and do all the magic rituals required from him while being a priest of dark forces. He said that he had all the love and acceptance within his organization, but it was a demonic and superficial love which was not love at all. John continues to expose the dark world he used to live in so that all disciples of Christ will know how the devil operates and repent from their demonic practices. Similarly, you love and accept only members of your religious organization.

You must love all the disciples of Christ. Start meeting believers in your town and build a friendship with them based on the teaching of Christ, not the doctrine of the organization. Forsake your religious organization’s brotherhood because this is not a family in Christ. Your family in Christ are all those who do the will of the Father. Without love for other believers, you will not be able to love God:

And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. -1 John 4:21

The false practice of Communion

'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me -Matthew 15:8

Holy Communion or simply Communion is another false practice that you follow. Jesus Christ never spoke about Communion but commanded to remember Him with the wine and bread. Communion is the Catholic practice which disciples of Christ accepted for their own shame. They turned a time of having a meal together with the believers into a godless ceremony.

You will not be able to find this term and practice in the Scriptures. During the Communion practice, church leader or an appointed by him person goes forward and delivers a pompous speech about Jesus and the cross. Church leaders forbid to interrupt the speaker during the Communion ceremony. Jesus Christ never commanded this to occur but it derived from Catholicism when a priest comes forward and delivers a Communion speech to Catholic temple visitors. You should not be like Catholic members. Here what disciples did when they gathered together, so you too must remember Christ by having a meal together, eating bread and drinking wine with the joyful heart:

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. – Matthew 26:26-29

Why do you need to remember Christ by meeting together?

Jesus Christ commanded you to remember Him with the bread and wine for the reasons highlighted below:

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. – Matthew 26:26-29

When do you need to gather together?

You must remember Christ by having a meal together with other believers, eat bread and drink wine at the evening time:

When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. – Matthew 26:20

It’s not wise to drink wine in the morning, neither Jews used to do it:

For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. – Acts 2:15

The third hour of the day – that is, about nine o'clock in the morning.

Where should you gather together?

You must remember Christ with the bread and wine at home. You should not meet at the temple which misleadingly called church building or simply church.

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?" He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, 'The Teacher says, my time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'" And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover. – Acts 2:46

And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts. – Matthew 26:17-19

With whom?

You must remember Christ in the company of other disciples. You must not invite unbelievers to remember Christ because they do not recognize Him.

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?" He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, 'The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'" And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover. – Matthew 26:17-19
