The Church
Jesus, the One we are calling Joshua (pronounced Yeho-shoo'-ah), was a man who: 1. was born of the virgin Mary (Luk 1:26-38), 2. taught mankind the doctrine that His Father sent Him to teach (Joh 7:16-17), 3. lived a life without sin (2Co 5:21), 4. was put to death by crucifixion under the reign of Pontius Pilate (Mat 27, Joh 18-19), 5. was buried that same day in a guarded tomb, 6. rose from the dead three days after he was buried (Mat 28, Luk 24), and 7. ascended into heaven forty days after he rose from the dead (Acts 1). He is the Lord, the Christ, and the Son of the living God (Mat 16:16, Joh 6:69, Php 2:11). He was, is, and ever shall be the head of the Church (Eph 5:23). By grace (Eph 2:8), which God only gives to the humble (1Pet 5:5), through faith, which comes by hearing the Word of God (Rom 10:17), are Joshua's people saved from their sins (Mat 1:21), and the penalty of sin, which is death (Gen 2:17, Rom 6:23).

Joshua's people are regenerated of the water and the Spirit (Joh 3:3-7) at the time they become saved (1Pe 1:23). If they're not baptized at the time God regenerates them of the Spirit, then the first thing they will do is to get baptized. At this time, their carnal nature is put to death so that they can take on the spiritual nature (Rom 6,8). Regeneration causes them to become a new person (2Co 5:17). As Joshua saves them, He adds them to His Church (Acts 2:47) and they have access to Him (Joh 10:27). He is the source of spiritual life, and His people are able to abide in Him in the same way that branches are able to abide in the vine. As long as His people abide in Him, He will also abide in them and they will never become cut off from Him (Joh 15:1-6). The reason why His people do not commit sin is because He abides in them (1Jo 3:9). This is the Church that has been built by the Lord (Mat 16:18). Man did not and cannot build it. The only things man can do are: 1. to speak the Word of the gospel to those who the Lord has not added to His Church, and 2. to identify those who the Lord appears to have added to His Church (1John 4:1-4).

The Lord's Church is currently invisible in the sense that His people are not all contained in a single visible organization like they once were. His people are currently scattered. Some of them are in a visible organization and some of them are not. Each visible organization, also known as a church, has a mouth that speaks the Word of the gospel to the nations (Acts 15:7). It is currently difficult for people who are not members of the Lord's Church to hear the Word of the gospel, because there are many of these mouths speaking to them. However, worldwide literacy and access to information has increased to the point where the average person can sift through the chatter and find the Lord. They just have to seek Him with all their heart (Deu 4:29, Jer 29:13, Mat 6:33) with a willingness to give up every possession that was wrong for them to gain possession of (Mat 19:16-29).

In the beginning, there was only one visible Church, and her mouth was Apostle Peter (Acts 15:7). Peter was never the head of the Church. Joshua Christ was, is, and ever shall be the head of the Church. Peter was the mouth. His job was to speak the Word of the gospel to the nations. Bishops spoke the same Word of the gospel to their respective regions, and pastors spoke the same Word of the gospel to their respective communities. This arrangement broke down between the time the last apostle died (98 AD) and the time Emperor Constantine made it legal to speak the Word of the gospel (313 AD). It was difficult to hold councils during those early years, when the Church was underground.

The original arrangement of the visible Church was restored between the time that the Council of Nicea was held (325 AD) and the year that bishop Athanasius of Alexandria died (373 AD). It was during these years that it became manifest that the mouth of the visible Church, otherwise known as the vicar of Peter, was the bishop of Rome. Until further notice from the Lord, the Roman Catholic Church was the visible Church, and outside of her, there was no assurance of salvation. This did not mean that the vicar of Peter was saved from his sins. Many vicars of Peter were sons of the devil (1Jo 3:8). It only meant that the vicar of Peter was not going to speak a destructive error while he promulgates the Word of the gospel to the nations. The mouth of the visible Church may have been the head of the clergy (bishops and priests), but he was never the head of the Church. Joshua Christ was, is, and ever shall be the head of His body, the Church. All members of His body have direct access to Him.

What Christ Promised His Church
The Lord Joshua Christ promised His Church three things: 1. that the gates of hell would not prevail against her (Mat 16:18), 2. that He would be spiritually with her until the end of the world (Mat 28:20). and 3. that the Holy Spirit would guide her into all truth (Joh 16:13). According to the Council of Constantinople (553 AD), the gates of hell are "the death-dealing tongues of heretics." These are destructive errors taught by heretics (more on destructive errors in the next section). Nondestructive errors are not the gates of hell. The Lord's second promise does not mean that the Roman Catholic Church is His visible Church until the end of the world. It means that she is His visible Church until either the world ends or He calls His people out of her, whichever comes first.

The Lord's third promise does not mean that everything the Roman Catholic Church was guided into was a thing that she was guided into by the Holy Spirit. Because of free will, the devil could guide her into things as well. However, for as long as she is the Lord's visible Church, the devil could not guide her into any destructive errors, only nondestructive errors. The Lord's third promise is a guarantee that for as long as the Roman Catholic Church was His visible Church, the Holy Spirit would guide her into the truth on all essential questions of faith or morals (more on essential questions in the next section). During this time, the vicar of Peter is unable to promulgate destructive errors. If he tried to promulgate a destructive error, then the bishops would know. The Roman Catholic Church, as a whole, would have to lose faith in an essential truth before a man, acting as the vicar of Peter, could get away with promulgating a destructive error.

Truth and Apostasy
The Church is concerned with questions of faith or morals. All questions can be reduced to a series of binary questions. A binary question contains only two possible answers. The correct answer is a truth, and the incorrect answer is an error. The binary question is the simplest form of a question. There are two types of binary questions (see Figure 1). The essential binary question is one in which it is essential for salvation to believe the correct answer, because believing the incorrect answer leads to destruction. The correct answer is an essential truth, and the incorrect answer is a destructive error. In order to be saved, we must believe every essential truth is true. Once we are saved, we "believe and know" (John 6:69) that every essential truth is true. In other words, we believe every essential truth "with all our heart" (Act 8:37). It is impossible for someone who is saved to believe a destructive error.

The other type of binary question is the nonessential binary question. It's a question in which it is not essential for salvation to believe the correct answer, because believing the incorrect answer does not lead to destruction. The correct answer is a nonessential truth, and the incorrect answer is a nondestructive error. In order to avoid unnecessary division, we must remember that nondestructive errors do not lead to destruction. This keeps us from arguing over nonessential binary questions. Unlike destructive errors, it is possible for those who are saved to believe a nondestructive error. The Lord's people should be confident that a brother who only disagrees with them on nonessential binary questions is still their brother in Christ. It's like a brother who sins not unto death. The Lord's people pray for him instead of separating him from them. By doing so, they gain confidence that God has given their brother eternal life (1John 5:16).

Figure 1 – Two types of binary questions, two types of truths, and two types of errors

Apostasy is defection from truth. A time of apostasy is to occur before the Lord returns (2Ths 2:3). It's a time when an increased percentage of people are "destroyed; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved" (2Ths 2:10). In other words, having lost faith in essential truths, they have come to believe destructive errors. A natural loss of faith occurs over time, especially when it is passed from one generation to the next (see Figure 2). But before the time of apostasy, the only truths that the Church loses faith in are nonessential truths, and the only errors that the Church comes to believe are the corresponding nondestructive errors. An example of a nondestructive error is the claim that Joshua died on a Friday. That was one of the first nondestructive errors the early Church came to believe. The nonessential truth is that He died on a Thursday.

Figure 2 – Exponential decay curve illustrating natural loss of faith over time

The time of the apostasy begins when the Church first comes to believe some destructive errors as a result of losing faith in the corresponding essential truths, beginning with those that are the most difficult to believe. The time of apostasy began on December 8, 1965. We know this, not only by the destructive errors that were promulgated by the bishop of Rome that day (more on these later), but also because he then went to work on the 7 changes that had to be made to Joshua's memorial in order for God to fulfill His promise for the time of apostasy (see Figure 3). Those 7 changes also had to be done in order for the Church Out of Babylon to see the sign that shows them that the Roman Catholic Church has entered into her fallen state (Rev 14:8, Rev 18:2-3) and that the Lord is calling them out of her (Rev 18:4).

"he sits as God in the temple of God demonstrating himself as though he is God." (2Ths 2:4) "God will send them energy of delusion unto them believing the lie" (2Ths 2:10) "so that all who believe not the truth but consent to unrighteousness will be judged." (2Ths 2:11)
He whispers and does not let them drink.	He moves altar to make room on the other side.	He demonstrates himself as though he is Christ.	He speaks a lie instead of the truth.	He speaks the lie in English so that they understand.	He speaks out loud so that they hear the lie.	He lets them drink to see if they believe the lie.	By drinking they show that they believe the lie.
He whispers and does not let them drink.	He moves altar to make room on the other side.	Now we can see if his attempt to change wine fails.	He speaks a lie so that the wine remains wine.	He speaks the lie in English so that we understand.	He speaks out loud so that we hear the lie.	He gives the nations the wine of her whoredom.	We see the nations drink the wine of her whoredom.
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon, the great city, because she has given every nation the wrathful wine of her whoredom to drink." (Rev 14:8) "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great ... because every nation has drunk the wrathful wine of her whoredom." (Rev 18:2-3) "Come out of her My people so that you partake not in her sins and so that you receive not of her plagues." (Rev 18:4)

Figure 3 – 7 changes happened in order to fulfill God's promise to send energy of delusion during the time of apostasy

Traditional Catholic are Catholics who came out of the Roman Catholic Church when they saw her giving the nations the wine of her whoredom to drink. These Catholics, at least the regenerated ones, are members of the Church Out of Babylon, but they do not yet have a full understanding of the delusion's purpose (2Ths 2:11-12). Traditional Catholics are aware that the bishop of Rome had lost his infallibility by 1963, the year that Paul VI was elected. However, they have not yet come to an accurate definition of infallibility. They believe it is the inability to promulgate any error whatsoever. This is not the case for a natural loss of faith. In order for the visible Church to lose faith in essential truths, she must first go through a period of time when she loses faith in nonessential truths (see Figure 2). Infallibility is an inability to promulgate destructive errors only, and the age of infallibility ended on the day that the first destructive error was promulgated, December 8, 1965. That's also the day that the time of apostasy began.

Water Baptism
There has been much divisiveness over the question of water baptism. We must be regenerated of the water and the Spirit before we can see the kingdom of God (Joh 3:3-7). Infant baptism is a blessing, because it is a blessing for us to come into the world with parents and godparents that are making a commitment to speak the Word of the gospel to us. However, there are many who believe, based on their interpretations of scripture, that every person must believe first and be water baptized second. This is the correct order for adults, as we see elsewhere in scripture (Mar 16:16, Acts 8:37). Some believe that we must not only believe, but also be regenerated of the Spirit, before we get water baptized. Whatever we do, we need to keep in mind that it is God, and God alone, who decides if and when to regenerate a person of the Spirit. We cannot tell God when to regenerate a person. If God does it at the moment of water baptism, then praise God! But do not expect Him to always regenerate a person at that point in time. We are not God. God is God.

Before the time of apostasy, people became members of the Lord's visible Church when they became water baptized. It did not necessarily mean that the Lord had added them to His actual Church. He adds them when He saves them (Acts 2:47), which is when they are regenerated of the Spirit. Water baptism only meant that they had become a member of the Lord's visible Church, which at that time, was the Roman Catholic Church. It didn't matter what church they were being baptized in, and what sorts of accusations their church was making against the Roman Catholic Church. They were still members of the Roman Catholic Church, and the only way it could be proven that they were not members of the Lord's Church is if they disagreed with any of the promulgations that answer essential binary questions of faith or morals. Disagreeing with promulgations that answer nonessential questions is not enough evidence to prove that they were outside the Lord's Church.

During the time of apostasy, the Church Out of Babylon comes into existence. She consists of those who have come out of Babylon and all her daughters. The way we have settled the dispute over water baptism is to first realize that baptism is a process involving three steps that have to be done, not necessarily in this order: hearing, believing, and being baptized. We then suggest that infants be baptized with the words: "I begin to baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost" and that those who have come to faith be baptized by submersion with the words: "I finish baptizing you in the name of ... Holy Ghost." If a person was baptized as an infant with the words "I baptize you in the name of ... Holy Ghost" and that person is uncomfortable about it, then let that person be conditionally baptized with the words "If you are not baptized, then I baptize you in the name of ... Holy Ghost." The word "If" needs to be spoken in observance to the fact that baptism only occurs once (Eph 4:5). But there is no reason why we should continue to allow the question of water baptism to be a source of division. The question about when we are water baptized is an example of a nonessential question.

Transubstantiation
There has also been much divisiveness over the question of transubstantiation. According to the doctrine of transubstantiation, whenever priests do the Lord's memorial the way He did it, the substance of the bread & wine becomes the substance of Joshua's flesh & blood. "Substance" is a philosophical term. All matter consists of two parts: substance is the part that cannot be detected by any of our senses, and accidents is the part that can be detected by at least one of our senses (see, hear, smell, feel, or taste). Because we need our senses in order to prove something, we can neither prove nor disprove the doctrine of transubstantiation. The Apostles were able to prove that Joshua rose from the dead, but they were unable to prove that He changed the substance of the bread & wine into the substance of his flesh & blood. It could be that Joshua simply changed the bread & wine into His symbolic flesh & blood. This does not reduce the sacredness of that event.

The inability to prove something is a characteristic of every answer to a nonessential binary question. It is not essential for salvation to know whether Joshua made the bread & wine into his transubstantiated flesh & blood or into his symbolic flesh & blood. It is only essential for salvation that Joshua abides in us (2Cor 13:5). If He does, then we are worthy to eat and drink at the Lord's altar (1Cor 11:28). It is also essential for us to know that an unsaved person cannot gain eternal life by eating and drinking at the Lord's altar. If they try, then they are eating and drinking judgment to themselves (1Co 11:27-29). The Lord's memorial is extremely sacred, regardless of where you stand on the question of transubstantiation. The bread is broken in memory that his flesh was broken (Zec 12:10, 1Co 11:24), and the blood of the grape is poured out in memory that his blood of the new covenant was poured out for many unto remission of sins (Dan 9:27, Mat 26:28).

Authority
Protestant churches came about as the result of corruption in the Church's clergy and disagreements with the vicar of Peter on nonessential questions of faith or morals. These churches did not have any authority from God to come into being. The solution to the problem of a corrupt clergy is to stop paying them, and disagreements over nonessential questions of faith or morals are not worth dividing over. Many times, however, the Roman Catholic Church was at fault in causing an unnecessary division over a nonessential question. She was at fault whenever she erroneously classified answers to nonessential binary questions as answers to essential binary questions. The questions of transubstantiation and when to baptize are the two common examples of nonessential binary questions causing unnecessary division (see WATER BAPTISM and TRANSUBSTANTIATION).

Some of the Protestant churches came to believe that the disagreements over nonessential questions were disagreements over essential questions. This led to them falsely accusing Virgin Babylon of whoredom. Under Torah, stripes are given to the man who calls a virgin a whore (Deu 22:19). This is a serious offense. Since the daughters of Babylon called their mother a whore while she was still a virgin, they became whores before their mother became one. They were supposed to wait for God to call her a whore, which He started to do in 1969 (Rev 14:8). A church does not become a whore by killing men that she thinks are trying to take away her virginity (ie. heretics). A church becomes a whore whenever her mouth promulgates a destructive error.

Unlike the Protestant churches, the Church Out of Babylon has authority from God to come into being. Our authority comes from the words that the Lord began to speak in 1969, "Come out of her My people" (Rev 18:4). Also, the angel that shouted "Fallen, fallen is Babylon" (Rev 18:2) is one who has "great authority" (Rev 18:1). The confirmation that the Lord and this angel have indeed spoken is the historical fact that for 40 years, 1971 to 2011, every nation literally drank the wine of Fallen Babylon's whoredom (Rev 18:3). Her whoredom is the destructive errors that she first promulgated on December 8, 1965.

We know that some of the Lord's people are still inside Fallen Babylon and her fallen daughters, because the Lord stopped calling His people out of Babylon on November 26, 2011, and He has not yet returned to give her the penalty of whoredom, which is for her to be burnt with fire (Rev 18:8, Lev 21:9). Therefore, the mission of the Church Out of Babylon, from this point on, is this: "show My people their transgressions" (Isa 58:1). This is the ministry of purification. The Lord called some of His people out of Babylon in order to show the rest of His people, those that have not come out of Babylon, their transgressions. His people that are in Babylon are those that receive the correction given to them by the Church Out of Babylon.

Babylon and her daughters are whores (Rev 17:1,5), but they do not know that they are whores (Rev 18:7). It was through the devil's deceptions (Rev 12:9) that they became whores. Members of the Church Out of Babylon might go inside one of the whores in order to give correction to her mouth or to some of her members. But if they do this, they do not give money to her and they do not eat or drink inside of her. Also, female members of the Church Out of Babylon are veiled, not only out of respect for their fathers and husbands (1Co 11:3,5), but also so that God will hear all members of the Church Out of Babylon as they pray for Babylon, that she might let go of her pride so that God can give her the grace to see her whoredoms.

Four Whoredoms of Babylon
Heretics are those who believe one or more destructive errors that concern questions of faith or morals. Heretics seek to commit whoredom with a virgin church. A church commits whoredom when her mouth promulgates, to the nations, one or more destructive errors concerning questions of faith or morals. A destructive error is one that leads those who believe it to eternal destruction. The following is a list of four destructive errors that Fallen Babylon has held to during the apostasy. Two of them pertain to questions of faith, and two to questions of morals. Three of the four were explicitly promulgated by the acting vicar of Peter on December 8, 1965. The fourth is implicitly promulgated through silence. Every daughter of Babylon agrees with her mother on at least one of these four destructive errors.

WHOREDOM #1: GOD DOES NOT REJECT THOSE WHO REJECT THE TRUTH THAT JOSHUA IS THE MESSIAH
It is sad but true, that Jews are rejected by God (Messianic Jews are the exception rather than the rule). Jesus said that whoever rejects Him before men will be rejected by Him before His Father in heaven (Mat 10:33). If we say to the Jews that they are not rejected, then they will not think that they need to accept Jesus as the Messiah who is foretold by the prophets. He was named “Yehoshua”, which means “Jehovah saves”, because He saves His people from their sins (Mat 1:21), and from the penalty of sin, which is death (Gen 2:17, Rom 6:23).

WHOREDOM #2: THOSE WHO BELIEVE JOSHUA IS THE MESSIAH, BUT NOT THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, WORSHIP JOSHUA'S GOD
It is sad but true, that Muslims do not worship the same God as Christians. They believe Jesus was the Christ, but not the Son of God. They believe that He was A son of God, but not THE only begotten Son of God. Also, they do not believe He was crucified. They believe that Barrabas was Jesus, because he is called "Jesus Barrabas" in an ancient manuscript and also because Barrabas means "son of father." Because of this unusual theory, nobody paid for their sins. Also, their "holy book" blesses certain mortal sins, such as violence. If we say to them that they worship the same God as Christians, then they will not think that they need a savior.

WHOREDOM #3: WHOEVER MARRIES HER THAT IS PUT AWAY FROM HER PSYCHOLOGICALLY INCAPACITATED HUSBAND DOES NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
"Whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery" (Mat 5:32, Luk 16:18). Jesus defined what God has joined together (Mat 19:4-6). A man leaves his parents and cleaves to his wife. These are two explicit steps, but there is one other implicit step, that he make her "his wife" before he cleaves to her. God requires that she be "his wife," but we are unable to believe that God requires the two of them to have "psychological capacity." If we say to the man, who has married her that is put away from her psychologically incapacitated husband, that he is not committing adultery, then he will not know that his sin is keeping him separated from God. The Father's will for such a man is for him to focus on teaching the gospel to her unbelieving husband (Lev 19:17-18), rather than coveting her, especially if she is praying for her husband (1Jo 5:14-15).

WHOREDOM #4: IT IS NOT A PARTICIPATION IN MURDER TO VOTE FOR THE LAWMAKER THAT INTENDS TO LEGALIZE UNNECESSARY ABORTION
Unnecessary abortion is the murder of a person (Gen 25:22, Psa 139:13, Luk 1:44). Therefore, if we vote for a lawmaker who intends to legalize unnecessary abortion, then we participate in murder as a second accomplice. The lawmaker is a first accomplice, the practitioner is the criminal, and the parents are the abettors. The father is usually more culpable than the mother, because he is the primary provider. A necessary abortion is one that has to be done in order to save the life of the mother or in order to prevent the suffering of a severely deformed baby that cannot survive outside the womb. If an abortion is done for any other reason, then it is an "unnecessary abortion." There is no reason why this should still be happening in 2012 (see Figure 4).

Figure 4 – Irrefutable 10 Step Solution to the Problem of Abortion (WARNING: Makes Men Uncomfortable)

This fourth whoredom of the Roman Catholic Church is a sin of omission. If she believed and knew the essential truth on this question, then she would formally excommunicate first accomplices (the lawmakers) so that her other members would not unknowingly participate in murder as a second accomplice. Those who are excommunicated from a church can be invited to attend that church's weekly instructional meeting (ie. RCIA class) until the day comes, if it comes, that God gives them the grace to see the destructive error they hold to. Also, members of a church need to be explicitly warned that voting for any lawmaker who intends to legalize unnecessary abortion is a participation in murder as a second accomplice. It is therefore, a sin unto death (1Joh 5:16). Very few people know the solution to abortion (see Figure 4). However, that lack of knowledge is still no excuse for participating in murder.

Vision
The purpose of the Church Out of Babylon is to be the instruments that God uses to free Babylon and her daughters from their spiritual whoredoms (Rev 6:7). These whoredoms are the promulgation of destructive errors by their mouths. It is inevitable that every one of these whores will be "burnt with fire" (Lev 21:9, Rev 18:8). The only question for each whore is whether she will be burnt in a spiritual sense, by dying to her sin so that she can live unto God (Rom 6:11), or in a physical sense, by the return of the Lord Joshua. The vision of the Church Out of Babylon is having all true followers of Christ, and only them, gather around the same altar. It is inevitable that this will happen. The only question is whether it will be before or after the Lord Joshua returns. The only way it can happen before He returns is if these five steps are carried out.

If these five steps have not been carried out by the time the Lord returns, then He will find the Church Out of Babylon working towards the vision of all of the Lord's people, and only the Lord's people, gathering around His altar. If the vision comes to pass before the Lord returns, then the most likely scenario is that only a minority of the members of the great whore Babylon will come to the repentance of step 1 and only a minority of the members of the whores of Babylon will come to the repentance of step 2. These two minorities would have the humility to carry out steps 3, 4, and 5 so that all members of the body of Christ could gather at the altar of the Lord while all members of the body of Antichrist, including those who erroneously think they are the Lord's people, could gather at the altar of devils, which would be the altars of Babylon and her daughters.

This would result in a separation of the tares (Satan's people) and the wheat (the Lord's people). The time of apostasy is the time that the true Church of Christ learns how tares can be separated from the field without uprooting any wheat. Since angels are responsible for bringing us the announcement that Babylon is fallen (Rev 14:8, 18:1-3), they are also the ones who are responsible for bringing us the instructions on how to separate tares from the field without uprooting wheat (Mat 13:30,41). That's because Babylon cannot be utterly burnt with fire (Lev 21:9, Rev 18:8) until she only consists of tares. These instructions have come to us through prayer, and scripture confirms that these instructions are from God.

Separating Tares from the Field
It is only when we have gone through a time of apostasy that the Lord's people learn how to discern who is their brother or sister and who is not (1John 4). The spirit of antichrist is not only manifest through a denial of the incarnation (Joh 1:14), but also through a denial that the Spirit of Joshua Christ abides in the flesh of His people (1John 3:24, 4;2, 4:4). This ability to discern who has this Spirit gives the Lord's people the ability to separate tares from the field without pulling up any wheat. We believe that God used angels to give us this understanding (Mat 13:30,41), because God used angels to announce that Babylon had fallen (Rev 14:8, 18:1-3), and Babylon cannot be burnt with fire (Lev 21:9, Rev 18:8) until she only consists of tares.

Of course, we will not be literally burning any tares. That is done when the Lord returns. All we are able to do is to separate tares from us without pulling up any wheat. We do this by excommunicating individuals, not in the manner that it has been done by the Roman Catholic Church in the past (they pulled up both tares and wheat), but in the manner it was originally intended. The purpose of excommunicating a man is so that his carnal nature can be destroyed and replaced with God's spiritual nature, before he physically dies (1Co 5:5). This has already happened to those who have been regenerated.

Hence, excommunication is simply letting unregenerates know that God has not yet regenerated them. This is a tremendous act of love towards them. They will not see it as an act of love until the day comes, if it comes, that God regenerates them. Only then do they come to unending gratitude towards the one who excommunicated them. There is no greater hate than to let unregenerates think that they are regenerated of the Spirit. There is no greater love than to let unregenerates know that they are not yet regenerated of the Spirit.

In order for a church to be able to do excommunication properly, it must offer two different weekly meetings, a communional meeting for those God has given His Spirit to and an instructional meeting for those God has not yet given His Spirit to. Once a regular attendee of the instructional meeting appears to be regenerated of the Spirit, he or she is invited to attend the communional meeting. If and when regular attendees of the communional meeting appear to not be unregenerates, then they are sent away to the instructional meeting, in hope that God will regenerate them at some point in time. The instructional meeting is for those children of the devil who seek to become regenerated children of God. This is the way that excommunication was originally intended.

It is God and God alone who does the work of salvation in a person. All man does is identify those whom God had done this work in and those whom God has not done this work in. God's people remain humble by remembering that it is only by His grace that some of us have been saved at all. If we see someone in the communial meeting that believes a nondestructive error, then we are free to let them know about our disagreement, but then we pray for them and ask them to pray for us, having faith that God forgives the one who is in error (1John 5:16). We do not excommunicate them like the Roman Catholic Church would do in the past.

But if we see someone in the communional meeting that believes a destructive error and they do not receive correction, then we are 100% sure that God has not regenerated this individual. There would be no greater hate than to let this individual think that he or she is saved. We must send this individual to the instructional meeting with the hope that God will regenerate him or her at some point in time. If we do not do this, then we are doing Satan's work of deceiving his children in order to keep them enslaved to sin (2Co 11:15, Rev 12:9).

There is a small, but important, change that we must make in order to maximize the chance that everybody who attends the communional meeting will receive essential correction whenever it is given to them. This change is to stop saying "I am a Christian" or "we are Christians" and to start saying what the first Christians said: "I am called a Christian" or "we are called Christians" (Acts 11:26). The word "called" comes from the Greek chrematizo which means "divinely intimated." God is the one who calls His people Christians. If we say "we are Christians," then the only way to receive essential correction is to admit that we are liars. If we say "we are called Christians," then we receive essential correction by saying that the one who called us a Christian is a liar. That one is the devil, and he is exposed whenever the essential correction is received. The Lord is the one who is running His visible Church, not us. We rely on the correction of one another to keep the body of Christ in a state of grace, a state where we continue to abide in Christ.

Why Joshua?
The followers of Joshua Christ were first called Christians in Antioch (Acts 11:26). Since then, Babylon and her daughters have abused the name "Christian" to the point that it has been rendered totally meaningless. Today, the world defines it as "one who believes Jesus is the Christ." This is meaningless, because even the devils believe and tremble (Jam 2:19). It is only meaningful if it means "follower of Christ." Since "Christ" is a title, rather than a name, it is not clear to the world that "Christian" should mean "follower of Christ." However, it is clear that "Joshuan" means "follower of Joshua." This is an accurate description of the members of the Church Out of Babylon. Only those who follow Joshua Christ are members of the Church Out of Babylon. We have followed Him out of Fallen Babylon and her fallen daughters. Instead of defiling ourselves with these whores, we follow Joshua wherever He goes (Rev 14:4).

The name "Jesus" came about as a result of limitations in the ancient Greek alphabet. The short Hebrew name for "Yehoshua" is "Yeshua," and it needed to be translated to Greek. The "Ie" sound was used in place of "Ye"; but because there was no Greek letters for the "sh" sound, the sound "s" had to be used. The "ou" sound was used in place of "u"; but because "a" was a feminine ending in Greek, the masculine ending "s" was used. Hence the Hebrew name "Yeshua" was translated "Iesous" in ancient Greek. In Old English, the "J" was pronounced like a Y. Hence, the Greek name "Iesous" ended up being translated "Jesus" in English translations of the Bible. However, the Church Out of Babylon came into being at a time when there are no such limitations to any alphabet, Greek or otherwise.

Therefore, it is best to spell Christ's name and pronounce it the way it should be spelled and pronounced: "Joshua" with the "J" pronounced like a "Y" and an accent on the "shu" sound (Yeho-shoo'-ah). We spell it with a "J" rather than a "Y" for two reasons: 1. English Bibles spell his name "Joshua" (Exo 17:9), and 2. the "J" is pronounced like a "Y" in Old English and in many foreign languages. Be sure to get the accent right. Don't put the accent on the wrong syllable like the whore of Babylon that calls themselves "Jehovah's Witnesses." They put the accent on "Yeho" when it's supposed to be on "vah." Joshua means Yeho-vah' saves, and in the name "Joshua," the accent is not on the "Yeho" but rather the "shu."

Therefore, we call our Lord Yeho-shoo'-ah and we are called Yeho-shoo'-ans. Just as we never say "we are Christians," we also never say "we are Joshuans." We only say "we are called Christians" or "we are called Joshuans" so that it's easy for each one of us to receive necessary correction if need be. Whenever we see someone calling themselves a Christian or a Joshuan, we should give them correction on that. Otherwise, they make it difficult for themselves to ever receive correction from a follower of Joshua Christ.

Saving a Soul from Death
There are not one but two states in the afterlife other than heaven. One is hell and the other is death. Unless we become regenerated of the water and the Spirit, we will remain in a state of spiritual death after our physical death. Hell would be for those who either faked their salvation in order to take advantage of someone or became saved only to stop abiding in Christ long enough to become cut off from Him (John 15:6). The souls in the "resurrection of judgment" (Joh 5:29) will come not from hell alone but from "death and hell" (Rev 20:13). Jesus has the keys to both of those states (Rev 1:18). Of those souls, the ones whose names are not written in the book of life will then die the second death (Rev 20:14-15). None of the souls in hell have their name written in the book of life, but it's possible for souls in death to have their name written in the book of life. We will show how in a moment.

The second death penalty is a function of two things: pain induced and pain consciously felt. The pain induced will be constant, and assuming that the resurrected body is natural, the conscious feeling of pain will decrease at a rate of exponential decay. We can then use Calculus to show that even though the duration of penalty is infinite, the amount of penalty is finite. The amount of pain would depend on the resurrected body's consciousness decay constant. This information allows us to solve the problem known as "the problem of hell." It turns out that God is not infinitely merciless to unbelievers. He has infinite mercy towards those He saves and finite mercilessness towards those He does not save. Adding the two amounts of mercy is akin to adding a finite negative number to positive infinity. The sum is positive infinity. It turns out that God is infinitely merciful to mankind as a whole, even though He only saves a minority.

Joshua saves His people from their sins (Mat 1:21), and the penalty of sin, which is death (Gen 2:17, Rom 6:23). Once He saves them, they do not commit sins unto death, because He abides in them (1John 3:9). Those who commit sins unto death are not saved from death. But because Satan is the deceiver (Rev 12:9), it's possible for some who are among us to "err from the truth" (Jam 5:19) and become sinners again. The word "err" comes from the Greek word "plane" which means deceived. Therefore, those who err from the truth do not know that they sin sins unto death. They need at least one of us to give them correction. If we give them the correction, and they receive the correction, then we have "saved a soul from death" (Jam 5:20).

But what if they die before we give them the correction that they would have received? The answer is that they are in a state of death, and they would have been in heaven if we had given them the correction that they would have received. If we pray for those souls, and we come to realize that there was some correction that we should have given a soul, then we can confess our failure to God, be forgiven of it, do not repeat the failure, and gain confidence that the name of that soul has been written in the book of life. We can never be 100% sure about that, because only God knows whether that soul would have received the correction that we should have given him or her. However, the fact that the correction occurred to us while we prayed for that soul gives us hope that the name of that soul has been added to the book of life and that he or she, therefore, will not die the second death at the resurrection of judgment.

This concept of purgatory is far superior than the one that has been taught by the Roman Catholic Church through the centuries. The worst part about the old concept is the idea that giving money to the Church helps souls in purgatory. This erroneous idea came from a misinterpretation of 2nd Mac 12:43. The Maccabeans gave money "to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead." But that was before Christ became the final sacrifice for sins. There is no longer any other sacrifice for sins, including monetary offerings. That error led to clerical abuses through the selling of indulgences. It also led to Protestantism. The new concept of purgatory is all about praying for the dead for the purpose of finding out whether there was any correction that we should have given to them. The fruits of this new concept is that the destructive errors that deceive us and keep us separated from God will not propagate to our survivors. This has the potential of reversing the current trend of moral decay.

Homosexuality: Separating the Desire from the Deed
There are two bodies on earth, the body of Christ and the body of Antichrist. The members of the body of Christ are united and are of one mind on essential binary questions of faith or morals. This body is not yet in a visible church. That is still only a vision of the future (see VISION). The members of the body of Antichrist are divided against themselves, and they are only united in their hatred for God, both those who erroneously think they love God and those who know they hate God. The body of antichrist is not yet in a visible church either. It too is still only a vision of the future. In order for the body of Antichrist to become a visible church, the members who erroneously think they love God, would have to unite their brothers and sisters in Antichrist around the false christ that they do love.

Every human being begins his or her existence as a member of the body of Antichrist. We must be regenerated of water and the Spirit in order to become a member of the body of Christ (Joh 3:3-7). Faith and humility are the keys to having that happen to us. But unless and until that happens to us, we remain a member of the body of Antichrist, whether we like it or not. The more that human beings remain in the body of Antichrist, the more that some of them will be given over "to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves" (Rom 1:24). This refers to fornication, sex with a husbandless or not yet married woman, and adultery, sex with the wife of another man who has married her. Marital sex is honorable, but fornications and adulteries are not (Heb 13:4). Some of these members of the body of Antichrist change the truth of God into a lie in order to justify their sin. In doing so, they worship the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (Rom 1:25).

The more these members of the body of Antichrist choose the 2nd or 3rd option, the less likely that those who have same sex attraction will admit that their attraction is dishonorable and that acting upon it keeps them separated from God. The next thing that happens is that God gives some of the members of the body of Antichrist over "to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." (Rom 1:28-32).

About the Webmaster
My name is Daniel John Schmude, I was baptized as an infant and confirmed as a teenager in the Roman Catholic Church, I was raised in a stable home by godly parents, I'm an electrical engineer, I'm a husband and father of two, and until I was regenerated of the Spirit, between the years 2003-2005, I was the most vile human being on the face of the earth, because I had infinite hatred towards my fellow man. But I found out that I was a regenerated child of God on October 2, 2005. On that day, Joseph and Marie, adulterer and adulteress, acted upon a mutual vision, to come into my church, which was named after the vision to Joseph and Mary (Mat 1:18-25, Luk 1:26-38), to desecrate the symbol of Christ and His Church before our eyes.

Joseph and Marie jumped up to the altar, which is a symbol of Christ and His Church. As Joseph stood behind the altar, Marie stood to the side shouting to all the congregants, "this is idolatry." I was the only one who knew that she was correct. What she and Joseph were doing was idolatry (Col 3:5). Then, Joseph miraculously received the strength, to lift the heavy altar, to tip it over, and to roll it down the steps to the hard floor below, where it shattered into pieces before a shocked congregation. They desecrated the symbol of Christ and His Church to show us that they were desecrating the symbol of Christ and His Church (Eph 5:32), but I was the only one who noticed. My hatred for my fellow man was most manifest in my failure to let them know what I knew and they didn't, that their desecration of the symbol of Christ and His Church keeps them separated from God.
