2. Ancient Sardis In Lydia (Turkey) Worship of Cybele {Sibil} 1520-1750 “Age of the Reformation” Messenger: Dr. Martin Luther 10/31/1517->95 Theses

3. Self-flagellation Cybele (Mater Dei)  Artemis  Virgin Mary “Mother of God” Mother & Son worship  Mother worship Ascension of Mary (Mother) into Heaven: “We pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”-Pope Pius, 1950

4. Human hierarchy instead of Holy Spirit leadership Creeds instead of the Word of God Worship in the Spirit and gifts of Spirit exchanged for idol worship (liturgy). Worship of Mary becomes part of Christianity; Christ (Lord of All) is subservient to a vicar-Pope

5. Age of denominationalism- “I am of Paul/Cephas” “All One Body We”  correction/edification Taken their own name instead of His Name Good of the “church” instead of the Christ “I have not found thy works perfect…” God has no incomplete works Purpose of justification Pentecost  Carriers of the Life (Corn of Wheat) “Be Watchful…” Failure to watch destroys the believer.
