Christian Heresies of the
Nineteenth Century:

Christians without Christ:
    This is a group of churches that call themselves Christians, use the Bible as their Sacred Scripture or one of them, and may even have the name of Christ in the title of their church... but they say that "Jesus is not God", or that Jesus Christ is God as much as you and I are God, like the Mormons. Christians without Christ

Mormons:
    1830-  Joseph Smith. He claimed to have received a new revelation in 1827, which resulted in the "Book of Mormon", published at Palmyra, N.Y. Smith was killed by a mob in Carthage, Ill., in 1844, and Brigham Young succeeded him as leader of the sect. There are three gods, the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Spirit... all of them were created, and you can become God like Jesus or the Father. Adam’s sin was one of lust; believe the bond of marriage to be eternal; and believe in a happy Millennium on this earth.
    It is the Church of  "contradictions", and of "deception" Mormons

Adventists:
    1844- William Miller, known initially as Millerites, stress the doctrine of the imminent second coming of Christ. Several specific dates were set as the Coming since 1844, but Christ never came.
      Seventh-Day-Adventists are the larger group and started also about 1844 adding a very special issue: The Seventh Day, Saturday, is the Day of the Lord, and Sunday is the Day of the Antichrist; if you celebrate the Day of the Lord on Sunday, you are of the Antichrist, proclaim the Adventists, about 2,000 million Christians!. They were lead by Joseph Bates and James and Ellen White since 1844 but was not formally organized until 1863. Adventists

Jehovah's Witnesses:
    1852- Charles T. Russel: They are the children od the Adventists officially announced the Second Coming of Christ and the Armageddon for 6 dates: 1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, and 1975... and never came!...
    They deny the Doctrine of the Trinity, the Divinity of Christ, the Immortality of the Human Soul, and the blood transfusions. They expect to be one of the 144,000 minister of Jesus when He comes... or one of the multitude in Heaven of Revelation 7.
    Their official name, is not "Jehovah's Witnesses", but an Incorporated Society, the "Wathtower Bible and Tract Society" ... in this Society, the leaders are elected by the number of "stocks" they have; the "President of the Society" is the one who has more stocks, the actual President is Milton G. Henschel, since 1993. Jehovah's Witnesses

Spiritualism, Spiritism:
    Spiritism is the ancient practice trying to communicate with the death, through a "medium".
    1848- The ancient belief was popularized by sisters Kate and Margaretta Fox, 12 and 15 years-old, 1848, in Hydesville, New York, with the famous "rappings" supposedly coming from a peddler who had been murdered in the hose some years previously. In 1888 the Fox sisters confessed that the rappings were accomplished by a method of cracking their toes. The sisters work out a code: One tap: No; three taps: Yes.
    "Spiritualism", is Spiritism, but under the form of a Christian worship... it is "a deception", because some people may think they are attending a Christian service while they are going to get hot Spiritism. And it is a "sacrilege" to use Christian methods and objects to deliver Anti-Christian Spiritism... The church may include a pulpit, pews, crucifix, and organ... the service resemble the gatherings of a Christian church, using the Bible, with Christian payers and songs... but it is Spiritism!... with "trances", "psychic readings"...
    "Condemned in the Bible",  with strong words, "it is a prostitution against God"... "they shall be stoned to death"!... "If any turn to mediums and fortune-tellers, prostituting themselves to them, I will set my face against them, and will cut them off from the people... A man or a woman who is a medium or a wizard shall be put to death; they shall be stoned to death, their blood is upon them" (Leviticus 20:6,27)... and it is called "an abomination to the Lord" in Deut.18:12.
    Luke 16, clearly illustrates that an impassable gulf separates the dead from the living. And if they could return, Jesus declared that anything the dead may say would have no ultimate moral consequences on the living (Luc.16:31).
     Cults2   "the Occult": "Spiritism".

Spiritualistic Churches:
    1843 - Five years before the Fox sisters, Mr. Davis, a cobbler in New York, claimed to be a medium. He wrote "Principles of Nature", a Spiritists classic and established a church.
     The services, resemble the church gatherings of small Christian denominations and usually mimic Christian services. "Jesus Christ", is a total different person for a Christian and a Spiritualist: For a Spiritualist Jesus is God, but as much as you and I are God, as much as every human being is a divine child of God, just a part of the Infinite Intelligence. A great deception of Satan is the claim of the Spiritualists that the Bible is Spiritualist: They claim that "Jesus Christ was the master medium of all time"; they point to the Transfiguration as an example of spirit materialization, and Pentecost as the greatest séance in history... in fact, they make the Bible endorse what its writers emphatically oppose!...
    You can't be a Spiritualist and a Christian. The Bible and the Church, condemn all kinds of Spiritism and mediums with the strongest terms: It is "prostitution against God", "stone them to death" (The Occult). "Child of the Devil", reprimands St. Paul to the medium Bar Jesus in Acts 13. Spiritualistic Churches  Cults2

Salvation Army:
    1865- Founded in England by William Booth. It is familiar to outsiders through its work among the homeless and the poor and its fund-raising on the streets, especially before Christmas... they do good work, it is evangelic in doctrine, and aims to harmonize with all churches. Christian Denominations

Ku-Klux-Klan:
    1866 - founded in Polaski, Tennessee, by 6 Confederate officers. One of them, and the first Imperial Wizard of the KKK, was a former Confederate general and Freemason, Nathan Bedford Forrest. They are well known the disguised hooded Klansmen, in their white sheets, posing as ghosts of dead Confederate soldiers, with their blazing torches burning large wooden crosses in a "circle", to terrorize and kill Blacks, just for the sake of being Blacks...and they are Christians! Ku-Klux-Klan

Christian Science Church:
    1879- Mary Baker Eddy. The "science of healing", is "Anti-Christian", "Anti-Science", with Hindu doctrine, and it is not a Church. "Jesus Christ" is not God, he was not the Christ. "God", is not the Christian God, but a "Hindu one". "Salvation", is by recognizing that each person is as much a Son of God as Jesus is. There is no evil, no devil, no sin, no poverty, and no old age. A person is reincarnated until he learns these truths and becomes "perfect". Cults2

Old Catholics:
    1871- Organized in German speaking countries to combat the dogma of Papal Infallibility. Its rise may be traced from the excommunication of Ignatz von Dollinger, historian, priest and theologian, on Apr. 18, 1871, for refusing to accept the dogma of Infallibility.
    The Old Catholic Churches, had their origin in Europe after 1870, after the First Vatican Council. They reject the authority of the Pope, and their priests are married.
    The Polish Church, was established in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in the 1890s, also after Vatican I with the same spirit that the Old Catholic Churches. Denominations-2

Modernists:
    An heretical movement that attempted to explain the faith by rationalizing it. The system of the Modernists embraces most of the errors of all preceding heresies. Condemned by Pope Pius X. Modernism

Reformed Churches:
    Some of them born in the Nineteenth Century: In general, are those that began with the doctrine of Luther, then embraced those of Zwingli, and finally swerved towards Calvinism. As a result they are infected with the errors of all these false teachers. German Reformed, True Reformed Dutch, United Church of Christ in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Presbyterian Church in USA, Reformed Church in America, the "Christian Reformed Church... some of them do also good deeds.    Denominations-2

Holiness Churches:
    The National Holiness Movement came into being shortly after the American Civil War, 1861-1865. Originally a protest movement within Methodism, it opposed the Methodist falling away from the emphasis on sanctification that John Wesley had developed. He had stressed original sin and justification by faith and added that the individual may be assured of forgiveness by a direct experience of the spirit, called sanctification, which he regarded as the step leading to Christian perfection. The major representatives of the Holiness movement  are Pentecostal denominations, the Church of the Nazarene and the Church of God (Anderson, Ind.).  Holiness Churches   Holiness Links

Church of God:
    1880- Name of more than 200 independent religious bodies in the U.S. The majority of them are Adventist, Holiness, or Pentecostal denominations. Originated about 1880 as a movement within existing churches to promote Christian unity. The founders were interested in relieving the church at large of what they believed was over-ecclesiasticism and restrictive organization and in reaffirming the New Testament as the true standard of faith and life. The Church of God

Church of Christ:
    1886 with Spurling and Bryant in the Great Smoky Mountains (northwest Georgia and eastern Tennessee). A Pentecostal church based on a belief that a second rain of the gifts of the Holy Spirit would occur similar to that of the first Christian Pentecost. They regard the state of holiness as a work of grace subsequent to conversion or justification, and practice speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Members of the revival were organized into the Christian Union, changed their name to the Holiness Church (1902) and later to the Church of God (1907). No Pope, no bishops, no ordained priests. The Churches of Christ

Church of God in Christ:
    1895, 1897, Jones and Mason in Arkansas. Another Pentecostal church. Like other Holiness and Pentecostal groups, the church emphasizes sanctification, or holiness, which is deemed essential to salvation. The theology of the church is Trinitarian; the Bible is the chief religious authority and is interpreted literally. Ordinances include baptism by immersion, the Lord’s Supper, and foot washing. Speaking in tongues is considered the sign of baptism by the Holy Ghost. No Pope, no bishops, no ordained priests. Church of God in Christ
