THE CHURCH INDESTRUCTIBLE
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 9, 2026 – Jesus never intended for us to gather in a building to pray and worship. In fact, shortly before his crucifixion, Jesus said that going to the temple in Jerusalem and doing the things that were done there (rituals, rites, sacrifices, etc.) would soon no longer be required, that the temple of stone would be replaced with the temple of his risen body. By “temple”, he meant the Church. As born-agains, we know that the Church is the collective of Holy Spirit-filled believers that exist on Earth at any given time. Even without a building (and especially without a building), the Church will exist until Jesus comes back to take the last of his followers Home.
Paul also, in laying the foundation for the worldly church, never designated certain buildings as prayer and worship sites. When he talked about the church in this or that city or town, he meant people who identified as believers (some were born-again believers, some weren’t) who lived there. He was not referring to a building or (God forbid) a denomination. To Paul, the church was made up of those who believed that Jesus was the prophesied Messiah. Rebirth wasn’t a prerequisite in Paul’s worldly church as it was in Jesus’ Church. If you’re genuinely born-again, you know what I mean.
Then somewhere along the way, the building itself started to be called “the church”, and people rallied around the building instead of rallying around God and Jesus. So when the building a.k.a. church was emptied or demolished, the impression was that the body of believers had likewise shrivelled and died. This is the devil’s doing, to inspire a building to be called a church rather than the body of believers to be called the Church, as Jesus intended. This is the devil’s doing, and he’s been very successful at dividing the falling house of nominal believers through creeds, denominations, and deconsecrated structures.
The demolishing of buildings designated as churches, or their revamping into condos, mosques, or other worldly or spiritual uses, is mainly for optics, like a notch in the devil’s belt or a feather in his cap. Yes, the worldly church, built as it is on the shaky ground of self-identifying belief rather than God-inspired belief, is ultimately destined for destruction, but the Church whose cornerstone is Jesus cannot be destroyed. It is by very definition indestructible. Having its presence solely in the spiritual realm, the Church of genuine born-again believers is fully protected by God through his Holy Spirit and will persist until Jesus comes back in glory to take his remnant Home.
We, the Church built on Jesus, are not called to worship and “fellowship” in a building that is little more than a social club but to reach out to one another constantly in prayer, to support one another constantly in prayer, and to love one another constantly in prayer. Jesus said that’s how we’ll be known, by our love for one another – not for our love for the world, but for one another. I pray for you and you pray for me, even if we don’t know each other by name or know that the other exists. We can rest assured that the Church Indestructible does exist (if it didn’t, none of us would be here), and it is for this Church that we’re to send up our most fervent prayers.
Because as long as the Church exists, the world exists; and as long as the world exists, there is still hope for some. But when the last of us leaves – and God’s Holy Spirit leaves with us – hope will be no more.
SCHISM
CHARLO, New Brunswick, March 1, 2024 – There’ll come a time of no more turnings, a time when no matter how much you preach, there’ll only be permanently deaf ears and ears that already hear. The sealings will be sealed and the saints will be undergoing their final trials to see where they belong in Heaven’s hierarchy, if indeed they belong at all.
Nothing will be certain still at that point except the fact of no more turnings.
And Jesus’ return.
And God’s coming wrath.
Did you know that the saints in the early Church believed they were already living the end? Already nearly 2000 years ago they were waiting for Jesus to come down the same way he went up. They were waiting for him to come down not to set up an earthly kingdom but to gather his people together and take them all Home the same way he had gone Home. This is what they believed, and that belief persisted for hundreds of years, through countless persecutions and martyrdoms.
And then one fine day in the early 4th century, Christianity was normalized, it was sanitized, it was compromised and institutionalized. This represented the greatest schism in all of human history – the dividing of the church from the Church.
The Church has lived on, though. The Church has survived. It has not changed. The Church has not been transitioned like Christianity. So not surprisingly, the Church is still persecuted and the latter-day saints still understand that we’re in the tribulation that began when the early-day saints said it did thousands of years ago. There are lulls in the war, but no ceasefires. There will never be a permanent ceasefire between the church and the Church.
There’ll also not be a seven-year Tribulation with a capital “T”. What there will be is a worsening, by orders of magnitude, of the now 2000-year tribulation. There will be a turning of thumbscrews, though not of souls anymore, because souls will be done turning when the orders of magnitude appear.
The Church has always been persecuted. Jesus said it would be and so it is. All the saints I know are mocked and despised; saints have always been mocked and despised: That’s how you know they’re saints. The Roman Catholic church, which first tried to supplant the Church and then tried to kill it by a thousand-year Inquisition, teaches that you have to die first to be a saint, and then only if the pope says you’re a saint, though I would be very hesitant to believe anything the pope says about spiritual matters, since he isn’t born-again. If he were, he’d know what a saint is.
The day after I was reborn, God showed me during my first-ever reading of the book of Revelation that the Roman Catholic church was the whore riding the beast. I didn’t want to believe it at the time, so God tucked that knowledge away for me until later, until a time when I could see it for myself. That time came three and a half years into my rebirth when I was sitting in a Roman Catholic pew with a key to the church door in my pocket. I was on my way to becoming holier than the pope when God opened my eyes and I saw where I was. I ran screaming. Actually, I walked very quietly and orderly out the front door in a state of shock at what I had just seen. Then I dropped off the key and never went back.
The church is an enemy of the Church in the same way that Lucifer appears as an angel of light. That’s all I’ll say about that for now. There are no more turnings and then comes the judgement.
We’re already living the end.
CHURCH
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, June 24, 2015 – Mainstream Christianity is made up of wolves in sheep’s clothing and the blind leading the blind. Jesus preached from the temples and synagogues; he didn’t join the congregations. We are to follow Jesus’ example in everything we do. If you’re in a mainstream commercialized ‘church’, get out. The only church you need to be a card-carrying member of is God’s church, of which you’re an automatic member when you’re born again.
All commercialized churches today are nothing but sanctimonious two-bit social clubs set up to fleece the flock. They’ll fleece you of your time, your money, your energy, and your spirit. They’ll load you down with guilt and feelings of obligation, fill your head with lies, and ultimately rob you of your rightful inheritance in God’s kingdom, if you let them.
In Revelation, we read about Jews who call themselves Jews but are instead the synagogue of Satan. The same can be said of mainstream Christian organizations today. Not one of them is of God.
Paul in his letters and John in Revelation talked about God’s church in various locations. None of those churches had any particular name; they were simply known by their location (i.e., the church in Ephesus or the church in Philadelphia). The fake Christian churches today all have ostentatious or downright demonic names (being named after “saints” instead of God, teaching people to pray to saints instead of God). Denominations are, every single one of them, of the devil. Not one of them is of God.
Let me repeat that and let it sink in – not one of the mainstream commercialized denominational so-called Christian churches is of God. Not one.
There is only one true church, and that’s the spiritual collect of all born-agains who are alive today on Earth. Admission to that church is granted by God alone. If some members of that church gather in a certain location, they would be referred to as “the church in Minnesota” or “the church in Niagara Falls”. But there is still only one true church. That church needs no special name or administrative body or infrastructure or incorporation papers. It doesn’t meet on a particular day or at a particular place or time. It doesn’t need a building. It doesn’t need an altar. It doesn’t need offerings.
It simply is.
God’s church cannot be destroyed because it was not built by man’s hands: it was built by God.
Wherever there is a truly born-again soul, there is God’s spirit, and there is his church.
