Bro. John:
The message today was wonderful! Everything that God reveals to us through His Son helps to pull back the curtain on Christianity and show us what it really is. Below is an excerpt from an email I shared in 2006 after I heard the Lord say, “Symbolism is NOT Me!” After reading it again, I understand what name to give Christianity: Death
It is Death because when Jesus died on the cross, all ceremonies and symbolism died with him. If we honor any of Christianity’s ceremonies and symbolism, we are honoring Death and not LIFE! Whew! Christianity = Babylon = Symbolism = Ceremonies = Form = everything else except LIFE! And the Son of God is NONE of it! He was saying that day, “Christianity is NOT Me!” He is still saying, ‘there is no other way but Mine.”
Thank you for the wonderful message this morning. It stirred up what I heard years ago, and it was so sweet to feel those words in my heart again. Something so simple as that phrase is full of the revelation of who the Son of God is – and who he isn’t.
As you said in the last meeting: “The Bible won’t do it! The Word of God does!” I am so thankful God is still speaking and revealing what is truth and what is lies. That is a God of Love.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************From 2006:
When God gave His Son to die and then sent back His Spirit, Jesus was the end of all the symbols God used. Jesus was the last of the sacrificial lambs used by God on earth to atone for the sins of mankind. By his death, Jesus put all other symbols to death. As the Lord once told me: “Symbolism is NOT Me!” I understood what he said to me better today than I did when he spoke it the first time! “Symboism is NOT Me!” Those words came from the Son of God who is Life, not symbol nor ceremony. Whatever is not life is not God or His Son.
It has been good to my soul all day long to think this one thought: Jesus was the end of all symbols and his sacrifice put all symbols to death.
