A guy I work with says his 'church' has a book which is another testament of Jesus Christ, and that I should read it. I told him that I wasn't really interested in reading it. He asked me what I was going to do when I was sitting on the hot seat before God, and God asked me why I hadn't read this other book of truth. This prompted me to explain that since the Bible had explained that my sins had been forgiven me through the blood of Jesus that I would not be sitting on any 'hot seat' before God. I asked him if that's where he expected to be. I then asked him if he had read the Bible. He answered no, so I told him that since the Bible was written long before what he calls, 'another testament of Jesus Christ', that he ought to read it first, and that when he finished reading the Bible, we'd talk about reading his book. He has told me that he believes the Bible, but he remained insistent to the point of telling me that I was afraid to read his book, so I told him point blank that I had put considerable time into studying this subject, and that the prophet to whom this 'revelation' was given had made many a false prophecy, and that God's standard for a true prophet is no less than 100% accuracy. Deuteronomy 18:22 flatly states:

Deut 18: 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. NKJV

Sounds pretty straight forward to me. Doesn't it sound pretty straight forward to you? If this 'book of truth' that he keeps touting to me stands or falls on whether its 'prophet' is true or false, you would think that the scripture from Deuteronomy would make things clear. Not so, apparently. It appears that his church also believes, that one is only a prophet when one is actually prophesying, and if you're not in prophecy mode when speaking, then whatever you say does not not leave you with something to be accountable for. Amazing. I told him that whenever anybody prefaces a declaration with, "Thus saith the Lord," or, "This revelation comes from Jesus Christ, the Son of God" that they are declaring themselves to be a phophet, or they are saying that they are sharing prophetic revelation from God. He couldn't deny that. He asked me to supply him with evidence of a false prophecy from his 'prophet.' I obliged and supplied him with at least twenty, and believe me, that is not a comprehensive list. He will not even look at them, even though he asked me for them. He said that he doesn't want to look at it because he doesn't "like that stuff." I've left the subject alone for a while now, excepting the occasional small opportunities we've had to exchange thoughts on small matters. Small matters, such as how he views eternity.
He told me that he believes that if he lives righteously enough, that he has the opportunity to become a god, just like his god, and the millions of gods before him. When he becomes a god, he will have his own planet to reign and rule over. His is a religion, or cult I should say, of achievement. Cults are usually based on self achievement.
I asked him, "If you were the devil, and you wanted to entice mankind away from God, how would you do it?" When he didn't know, I told him, "You would tell mankind, whatever they wanted to hear."
He asked me what I meant by that. I told him it was just something to think about, but he was so insistent that I eventually told him to read the Genesis account of how the the devil deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden. He didn't have his King James Bible, (the only version he will read), so I read it to him from one that I keep at work. He was a little surprised to find that the opportunity to be 'as gods' played such a prominent role in the deception and murder of mankind. I told him that the devil had not changed his tactics, and that he was still using the same old deceptions. He has not really said anything to me about his religion since.
That was a couple of months ago. What prompted me to thinking about all of this today was the incidental appearance of two young men riding bicycles by the work place today. They were missionaries from his church organization. We teased each other a little about it. I said they looked like a couple of troublemakers, and he said they were looking for me. Apparently he has no hard feelings about our last conversation. I only hope that he will be unable to dismiss the things that I have shared with him.

Isa 43:10 "You are My witnesses," says the LORD,"And My servant whom I have chosen,That you may know and believe Me,And understand that I am He.Before Me there was no God formed,Nor shall there be after Me. NKJV
