MATTHEW 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducee's."(KJV)
This verse is telling us to beware of the false doctrines (or teachings) that will slowly creep in to the teaching and preaching and without knowing better will become a false teaching within the church.
This has happened so much over the years that the teachings of Jesus have been so misinterpreted that today there are multitudes of so called "Bibles" and multitudes of people who have been falsely led to believe these false teachings.
This is one of the main reasons that people turn away from coming to church. One teaches one way and another teaches another and they become uninterested because of the confusion of the church teachings.
Jesus said in MATTHEW 16:18 ''...and upon this Rock (Himself) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail (over power ) it." (KJV)
It is easy to determine that the church Jesus started upon Himself is the one and only church that Jesus founded.
Today when we look at churches or denominations to establish how they began, they all have been started by some man (other than Jesus) at some other time (than when Jesus was on the earth) with some other teachings that Jesus didn't teach.
The only true church in this world was started from the followers of John the Baptist who turned his followers over to Jesus and told them that He, Jesus, was the One that was to come, the Lamb of God. Jesus built His church with the followers from John the Baptist.
The true church head is Jesus Christ not a man. The true church was founded during Jesus ministry, while He was on earth. The true church was started in Palestine while Jesus was on earth.
Any other "church" that was not founded on Jesus, in Palestine, while Jesus on the earth is a false church, founded by a man many years after Jesus arose back to heaven.
You should look for a church that has its founder Jesus Christ. That teaches the Word of God from the Bible, I use the King James 1611. A church that teaches that through Jesus Christ one can be saved and heaven bound for eternity.
Jesus said beware of the leaven, false teachings and false churches.
To what church do you belong?
