You are right, and I did look at the reason for it being called "Mother" Emmauel. Following is a quote from the article.

"We see that a Masonic lodge that gives rise to other lodges, issuing charters and warrants, may be referred to as a “Mother,” so we might also expect Freemasons to apply the same terminology to churches…"

The fact is, this church is referred to as "Mother," a name that no church in the New Testament is given. Not only is this true, but the name "Mother" is attached to the name Emmanuel. Emmanuel was a name for the Savior who was a male.

Some things are best discussed through e-mail. When you use the comment field I am not informed of your e-mail address so I cannot respond privately. You will find my e-mail address at the top of the blog on the right hand side. I invite you to contact me via e-mail for discussions such as this. Thanks for your understanding.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days,

The days I'm on the internet, I usually make numerous comments at various places, and rarely recall what I've written in prior days, or even where. :O)

So I don't know what you've found doctrinally incorrect. I usually don't follow the directions of men, but instead read whatever God lays in my hand that particular day or night. But thanks for offering your works for my instruction.

I haven't much been 'taught' anything as I don't attend physical churches, and haven't since childhood. I have no pastor or minister (except Christ), and use the different translations of Scripture as foundation for my thinking and writing. The Lord didn't bring me to the Bible until quite late in life, instead he trained me in other (lesser) literatures and understandings, before allowing me to attempt his holy words.

The opinions of men are often helpful, but I only use them in ancillary ways, not as sources or doctrines. Men become proud quickly, and too sure of themselves, so I tend to move on often.

Cheers.

I did not post your second comment. I will explain why here. The comment was somewhat off-topic, and I believe it might distract some from their reflection upon the post on the A.M.E. church. Second, there were some things doctrinally which were incorrect in your statements, particularly the repeated use of the word "eternally" when describing the experience of those in heaven and the city of God. I encourage you to read the book "God's Plan of the Ages," which can be freely accessed on the Heart4God book page. This book sets forth the plan Yahweh has established for the ages of this present creation, a plan which will one day reach its conclusion as all things are summed up in Christ that He might in turn sum up all things in the Father.

God's Plan of the Ages

I realize that this is different from what you have been taught, as it is for the majority of Christians. I invite you to test this subject by examining the evidence set forth in the book I have written on this subject. Truth does not fear or object to scrutiny. It is error that is offended when it is being challenged. So have your Bible open as you read the book, and pray beforehand, inviting your heavenly Father to disclose both truth and error to you.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days,

Joseph

Christians and Hebrews won't find a better analysis and understanding of this event than herein. Certainly not in media or government. Adult Christians and Hebrews are responsible for due diligence concerning the general nature of these deceptions and trans-temporal manipulations. Most need not dig this deeply, that's one reason why Joseph and a few others already did.

As reported here and elsewhere, restraining influences gradually are being removed from America and the planet.

Related investigations on the Heart4God site provide context, confirmation, and additional evidence concerning topics discussed in this post. Christians and Hebrews are to examine and investigate their fellows and the spirits, but are not at liberty to reject or ignore the truth.

I pray these offerings are acceptable to Father and Son, and that we are allowed to function as their humble servants.

Cheers.

Cheers.
