IDENTITY THEFT

      Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (Matthew 7: 15)
      Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24: 4-5)
      And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many.  (Matthew 24: 11)
      Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:  and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.  (Matthew 24: 9) 

   Jesus warned us about the future, and we are living in that future. 
   Counterfeiters do not counterfeit fake money.  They counterfeit money that is real.
   Impersonators do not impersonate dead people.  They impersonate the living.
   Is Christ real?  Of course He is real!
   Is Christ alive today?  Of course He is alive today!
   Because Jesus is alive, this is the reason for false prophets, false ministers, and false priests:  for they want people to believe that they are Christ because they want people to believe that they are sons of God---with all of the attributes of God:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  They want people to believe that they have the power to forgive sin, and that their way to heaven is the right way:  which is the opposite way of Christ!  And they are dressed in sheep's clothing.
   False ministers and priests created false churches in order to deceive people to believe in a false way that leads to salvation as well as a false way to heaven.  False churches are dressed in false environments.  And the dogmas and doctrines of false churches are written by the false prophets, ministers, and priests as counterfeits of the Holy Bible.  Rites and rituals are added from paganism, thousands of years old, but because of deception, people believe that the rites and rituals are necessary because they are vital to the religious experience. 
   The false prophets, ministers, and priests are guilty of identity theft because they have attempted to steal the identity of Christ by making themselves to appear as Him.  These same people have been about their illegal falsehood ever since Christ was crucified in Jerusalem, and they are presenting this same illegal falsehood in churches today---in the United States and in nations all over the world. 
   But does this behavior excuse the people within the congregations of false churches?  Not necessarily.  When people know that Christ is the Son of God, but refuse to acknowledge Him and cling to their false churches, they are also guilty of identity theft by pretending to be Christians.  With their words they say they are Christians, but with their hearts they know they are still obedient to their religious dogmas, rites and rituals, which they refuse to release in order to come to Christ.  And they want others to believe that they are Christians by their association with a church that is a false church.
   How do you know, then, when Christians are fakes?  Because they do not want to hear the story of Jesus, they do not tell the story of Jesus, and neither do they want to hear stories from the Bible.  Instead, they are happy with their counterfeit production.  And they believe they will get to heaven by their own religious way, and by ignoring Christ. 
   Jesus warned us about a false identity and the seriousness of this matter:
      Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:  depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  (Matthew 7: 21-23)
