The True Church and the False Church

A church, religion, or spiritual body of believers whether good or bad are described in scripture to be a woman throughout much of the Bible because they are married to the true God through Jesus or to the anti-Christ.

The False Church:

Proverbs 2:11.  Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Proverbs 2:16-19.  To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;  Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

Proverbs 5:3-5.  For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:  But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.  Her feet go down to death;  Her steps take hold on Sheol; 6.  So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she knoweth it not.

Proverbs 5:7-18.  Now  therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.  Remove thy way far from her, (false church) And come not nigh the door of her house;  Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;  Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,  And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,   And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;   Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, (apostles, prophets, and scribes who authored the Bible) Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation. (false church)  Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well. (pure doctrine from the true church)  Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets. Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee. (do not intermix with false religions and those teaching false doctrines)  Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth. (the true church)

Proverbs 5:21-23.  For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord; And he maketh level all his paths.  His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.  He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Proverbs 6: 23-29.  For the commandment is a lamp; And the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:    To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue.    Lust not after her beauty in thy heart;  Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.  For on account of a harlot (mystery Babylon) a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.  Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?  Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?    So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; (false church) Whosoever  toucheth her shall not be unpunished.

\
Proverbs 6:32-35.  He that committeth adultery with a woman (believes and teaches the false doctrine of mystery babylon)  is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.   Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the rage of a man; (Jesus)  And he will not spare in the day of vengeance. (the day of the Lord)  He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Proverbs 7:4-27.  Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;  And call understanding thy kinswoman:That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words. (speaks things that are appealing to itchy ears)  For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;  And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,  Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house,  In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.  And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.  She is clamorous and willful;  Her feet abide not in her house: (true church) Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner. (numerous false religious churches can be found wherever there are people residing) So she caught him, and kissed him, And with an impudent face she said unto him: Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me;  This day have I paid my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.  I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.  I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.  Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.  For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:  He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon. (false pretribulation rapture)  With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along. (the smooth words of false doctrine)He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;  Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.  Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.  Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.  For she hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. (mystery Babylon)  Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 9:13-18.  The foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knoweth nothing.    And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city, To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither;  And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,    Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.  But he knoweth not that the dead are there;  That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

\
Proverbs 21:9.  It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house. 

This religious body is very large and feigns to fight wars in the name of crusades, democracy, and freedom to name a few.

Proverbs 23:26-35.  My son, give me thy heart; And let thine eyes delight in my ways.  For a harlot (mystery Babylon) is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman (false church) is a narrow pit.    Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, (stealing money and  souls) And increases the treacherous among men. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?    They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek out mixed wine. (fellowship with false religions and denominations for the sake of unity)Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, (false doctrine)  When it sparkleth in the cup, When it goeth down smoothly At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder.  Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things.    Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.  They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not hurt;  They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.     

Proverbs 30:12-15.  There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And yet are not washed from their filthiness.   There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.    There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.  (the generation of the Pharisees of mystery Babylon) The horseleech (blood sucker parasite) hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.  (Babylon and Laodicea)

Proverbs 30:20.  So is the way of an adulterous woman; (false church) She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, (steals money from the poor for their own consumption) And saith, I have done no wickedness.

The True Church of Philadelphia: A Wise Virgin

Proverbs 31: 10-31.  A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain.  She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.  She is like the merchant-ships; She bringeth her bread from afar. (missionary work) She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, (teaches the true Word of God) And their task to her maidens. (discipleship)She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. (The people of the world are the field and the vineyard is the converted souls) She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.  She perceiveth that her merchandise (The Word of God) is profitable: Her lamp (Holy Spirit) goeth not out by night.  She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.  She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.She is not afraid of the snow (tribulation) for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet. (The blood of the Lamb) She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. (spiritual clothing of royalty) Her husband (Jesus) is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land. (Revelation) She maketh linen garments (clothed in white) and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.  She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.  Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband (Jesus) also, and he praiseth her, saying:  Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all. (Philadelphia) Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. (a church that truly knows the Lord)Give her of the fruit of her hands; (rewards in heaven) And let her works (evidence of faith) praise her in the gates.

The Word of God is free to all who will submit themselves to Jesus and be filled by the Holy Spirit who earnestly teaches those whom seek to do the Lord’s will.
