The End of the True Christian Faith as taught by the Apostles ended with Constantine.

Before then, the Roman Empire pretty well allowed any religion as long as it did not oppose the Roman Empire. But then, Constantine, claimed to have seen, the vision of the cross in the heavens and heard a voice tell him to go out and conquer in the sign of the cross. Then He began his Roman Religion which was a mix of his pagan and new religion of those that were called Christians.

After Constantine got "baptized", he declared an edict that all of the Roman Empire had to become followers of his new Universal Roman Religion. Now, here is the bad news that really needs to be considered to understand why the True Apostolic Faith has become so badly polluted. Constantine did not give up his pagan gods and goddess.

He kept them alive but renamed them. Now, these same pagan gods had names such as St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Mary, St. Joseph. By time, it was over, a whole year was filled with feast days to each of these deities. Nothing had changed only the names. AND Constantine, not only was Caesar over all of the Empire, he was also the head of the Roman Religion.

Because the Roman religion had gotten it's beliefs from the Greeks, who got it from the Egyptians, it held onto much of the pagan beliefs. Here is one that may shock Christians.

Tartarus, which is Hades, is a place we have been taught as being of Eternal Fiery Punishment for the dead. This teaching of such a place of eternal punishment is from pagan mythology where the demons tormented the wicked. Did you get that? It is a pagan belief.

This became church dogma under Constantine who introduced it into his new Christian religion through-out all of his kingdom. It is plain and simply pagan beliefs from Greek mythology.

The Apostolic Church never taught it but by the 6th century, it became common theology. Hmmmm! wonder who had a hand in playing up that false teaching for the sake of gain by selling indulgences to get their loved ones out of Puragorty...which we know is another made up place; a holding place waiting for enough masses to be said to get them out. Why do people just accept this nonsense? Because they do not read the Word of God; they'd rather take the word of their priest.

What one loses upon death (if he does not believe in the Giver of Life, Yahusha) is Eternal Life. After the judgement, He will be consumed in fire, destroyed, to live no more.

What the Believer is promised because of his Faith in Yahusha is Eternal Life. Do you understand the enormity of that? Though you separate from your earthly body at death, your soul sleeps but your spirit returns to it's Maker. You live in your new Spiritual body and it is not up in heaven but a place that He has prepared for us....The New Jerusalem coming down. You will have Eternal Life.

If you will listen to the evidence presented, you will learn that the Fear of God was put into the people to make them obey the church. A fear of a Revengeful God is taught rather than a Holy, Loving God that wants to bring His Own unto Himself. Fear of God gives these clergy power over the laity.

The Jews, when Alexander the Great conquered the Land of Israel, left the Greek culture among Judisiam in regard to this teaching of Hell also.

The Old Testament is the "legal" relationship of Yah with the people whom He chose to be His Sheep. He took them out of all the pagan nations to be those whom He would reveal Himself to mankind.

The New Testament is the fulfillment of the promises of a coming Savior who revealed the Father to the people. Those that believed in Him and had faith in this Loving, Holy Father, prior to His Coming, received the right to become Children of Yahuah.

He is the Good Shepherd of His Own...to his natural Sheep and any Gentile Sheep that choose to belong to the Family of Yahuah. Rather than seeing God as a angry, revengeful God, He wants us to see that He loves us so much that He, took on humanity so that He could redeem us from the clutches of Satan.

We can't earn this salvation by being good enough or as some say, we can live without sinning. Yah paid the price, not our deeds which are like filthy rags to Him.

We must remember, whether it is said in this video or not, that Adam & Eve lost their Eternal Life when they disobeyed Yahuah. This is what the Father redeemed for them when He became the Perfect Lamb of God whose own blood paid the price.

Before then, the blood of lambs & goats were sacrificed to God but after He, as a human, Yahushua, makes it, once again, to have Eternal Life.

Eternal Fire in Hell is not scriptural. There is no eternal suffering in a place of fire, tortured by demons. When someone, who will not believe on the Father and accept the Gift of Grace that He purchased for us that person, upon death, loses "Eternal Life". It is over for them at death.

But a Believer has something awesome to look forward to is ETERNAL LIFE

Do not think it is your own perfection that makes this possible. It is His Perfection that give us Eternal Life.

Asked was the issue of the Law or Commandments. The Levitical Laws were for the Levites who were priest onto YAWH prior to His coming to earth as a human. The Commandments were a guidance to help us to be the best that we can be. But remember, when you sin, you do not lose your salvation: you lose your closer walk with the Father. He has given you someone through whom you can pray, a mediator and that is Yahushua. I Timothy 2:5

He is a Loving Father to His Own but because He is a Holy God, He will deal with Wrath and Judgment unto those that reject Him.

P.S. I would like to say, for clarity sake, that God has prepared a place for Lucifer and His Fallen Angels.
