Q65: WHAT IS THE LIFE'S GOAL OF EVERY CHRISTIAN AND JEW! The Church Mission is To Perfect The Saints. Every Christiand And Jew That is Not Heading Toward Perfection is Automatically Heading Toward Corruption!

Mr Columna, are you actually advocating that we do not attend church at all or trust our leaders? What about home churches? Are you Catholic? I am interested in what you have to say. Many in the church are dissatisfied and clearly see the corruption but stay on because we need community and we need places to worship.

Hi, Susan. Thanks for your questions. You can still attend Church services you think are still following Christ, although not perfectly. But your direction and goal must be toward finding the Church or Group that strives and knows HOW to be perfect, to obey Christ's command in Matthew 5:48.

• BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Mat 5:48 KJV)

Do not believe those liars that propagate the Satanic lie of "NO ONE IS PERFECT" slogan. For an in-depth study of this lie, please go to, or click: The Phrase "NO ONE IS PERFECT" is a Satanic Lie; and it causes Baseless Hatred! GOD Accepts and Will Save ONLY the PERFECT, and Those Who Have the Desire to BE PERFECT!

This command of Christ to BECOME PERFECT is seconded by the Apostle Paul.

• Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO ON UNTO PERFECTION... (Heb 6:1 KJV)

We need the guidance of the Spirit of Truth to find the Group whose number 1 goal is to become perfect before God. Only these people are considered to be prepared and ready to meet the BRIDEGROOM at His glorious return (Rev 19:7).

A Church or religious group that feels comfortable with their present doctrines and Church activities, without the goal of perfection as the Father in Heaven is perfect, is a deceived Church, and its direction is toward corruption. Any Church that is not headed toward perfection is automatically headed toward corruption of the flesh and of the spirit. Our goal and mindset must be toward GOD THE FATHER, and Jesus Christ is THE WAY, not any man, not even the Church.

The MISSION OF GOD'S CHURCH IS TO PERFECT GOD'S PEOPLE!

• FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  (Eph 4:12 KJV)

• Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto A PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:  (Eph 4:13 KJV)

• That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;  (Eph 4:14 KJV)

From Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible:
That we henceforth be no more children, etc. that is, that we may be no longer children in knowledge, weak in the faith, and inconstant in our judgments, easily yielding to every temptation, readily complying with every one's humour, and being at every one's back. Children are easily imposed upon. We must take care of this, and of being tossed to and fro, like ships without ballast, and carried about, like clouds in the air, with such doctrines as have no truth nor solidity in them..

By the sleight of men; this is a metaphor taken from gamesters, and signifies the mischievous subtlety of seducers: and cunning craftiness, by which is meant their skilfulness in finding ways to seduce and deceive; for it follows, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, as in an ambush, in order to circumvent the weak, and draw them from the truth. Note, Those must be very wicked and ungodly men who set themselves to seduce and deceive others into false doctrines and errors. The apostle describes them here as base men, using a great deal of devilish art and cunning, in order thereunto. The best method we can take to fortify ourselves against such is to study the sacred oracles, and to pray for the illumination and grace of the Spirit of Christ, that we may know the truth as it is in Jesus, and be established in it. -- HENRY

• Behold, GOD WILL NOT CAST AWAY A PERFECT MAN, neither will he help the evil doers:  (Job 8:20 KJV)

• Finally, brethren, rejoice. PERFECT YOURSELVES; encourage yourselves; mind the same thing; be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.  (2Co 13:11 MKJV)

ABOUT TRUSTING THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS

• Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. (Jer 17:5 KJV)

Cursed or miserable is the man or woman that does trusts their leaders, especially when they blindly believe the teachings of men, without checking those teachings in the Bible. And the worse happens that when someone shows them a Bible verse that contradicts their leaders' teachings, they choose to believe what their Church's doctrines, rather than on what God's Bible says. The sin here condemned; it is trusting in man, putting that confidence in the wisdom and power, the kindness, and authority of men. The trust must be applied to God only.

• Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. (Jer 17:7 KJV)

From Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: 
The duty required of us - to trust in the Lord, to do our duty to him and then depend upon him to bear us out in doing it... to commit ourselves to God as all-sufficient both to fill up the place of those who fail us and to protect us from those who set upon us. It is to make the Lord our hope, his favour the good we hope for and his power the strength we hope in. He that does so shall be as a tree planted by the waters, a choice tree, about which great care has been taken to set it in the best soil, so far from being like the heath in the wilderness; he shall be like a tree that spreads out its roots, and thereby is firmly fixed, spreads them out by the rivers, whence it draws abundance of sap, which denotes both the establishment and the comfort which those have who make God their hope; they are easy, they are pleasant, and enjoy a continual security and serenity of mind. 

Those that make God their hope, (1.) They shall flourish in credit and comfort, like a tree that is always green, whose leaf does not wither; they shall be cheerful to themselves and beautiful in the eyes of others. Those who thus give honour to God by giving him credit God will put honour upon, and make them the ornament and delight of the places where they live, as green trees are. (2.) They shall be fixed in an inward peace and satisfaction: They shall not be careful in a year of drought, when there is want of rain; for, as the tree has seed in itself, so it has its moisture.
(3.) They shall be fruitful in holiness, and in all good works. Those who trust in God, and by faith derive strength and grace from him, shall not cease from yielding fruit; they shall still be enabled to do that which will redound to the glory of God, the benefit of others, and their own account.  -- HENRY

-- LOPE COLUMNA --

The BIBLE EXPLAINER AND REVELATOR

Susan Parker: So you are not Catholic and do not believe in the infallibility of the Pope, the successor of Peter? But the people followed Paul and Peter and those leaders in that time. We have always had leaders.

I know Jesus is the way because even before I was baptized and was un-churched the was leading and guiding me through the scriptures and the Holy Spirit. The Bible does talk about confession to the elders in the church. Most of Catholic teaching is based in scripture, and tradition.

One thing that bothers me is long repetitive prayers when the scriptures warn against us doing that.

I can say I believe in the sacraments and that there are many miracles associated with the Holy Eucharist which is the mainstay of the church, which not one would argue with.
