AACG Knowledge & Spiritual Warfare

 


AACG Knowledge & Spiritual Warfare

The Christian theology of the Ancient Antiochene Church of God (AACG) is deep yet profoundly simple. Those who have studied here for about one month report strange phenomenon happing to them. They all sense the Truth of the matter and begin to see a greater “light” when it comes to understanding God’s word, but at the same time they seem to receive spiritual attacks of “doubt” and “disbelief” in many old understandings that they once held to. So, if this begins to happen to you don’t worry, this has become proven to be an attack by the enemy.

Some things that we are about to reveal to you may at first sound shocking, but please listen through. Christian students who begin to study with us experience many similar “phenomenon’s” but do not even know each other. Many who study with us have experienced a special connection with a “number” or certain numbers noticeably at some point in their lives.

Many who study here have experienced divorce and many of you are widowed. Many who find us have personally studied and or been involved with many other spiritual paths and experiments. Surprisingly to us, many who find us have been Christians for many years but thought something was missing until they found us. We believe that God is calling all those who come to Him in honesty and truth. We may all reach a time in our stubborn lives where we are ready to truly surrender (humble ourselves) and start over – learn from a new start.

As far as physical affects are concerned, we have found that many who study with us also have "tinnitus". We do not know why this is nor can we truly figure it out. God knows the “reasons” and “whys” of such things.

Having stated all of that, most who study with us are just normal people who have no real problems in life. We thank God for all of us, His elect children. We are the true “body of Christ” and true children of God [Divine Intelligence]. We are those early Antiochian Christians who eventually, under St. Nestorius, had to migrate to Egypt. Here, this small remnant received even clearer teachings of the older schools of ancient theology. Those ancient mysteries of the Seven Dispensations.

We also recognize the fact of how God used St. Martin Luther to bring godly correction to the Roman religio-political power, and expose that false church of the Beast. Coming through the Lutheran reformation we were mainly recognized as “conservative” Lutherans (or Protestants) and held a core connection with “Orthodox Lutheranism”. Not wanting all the schisms and factions, the remnant went underground as the Antiochene (or “Antiochian”) Christians. Openly they felt comfortable in most Lutheran or at least strong Protestant liturgical worship gatherings.

Our ancient records show that the true Christian church took on many names for the sake of protection. We have listed some of these ancient names found throughout Europe in past studies. It is extremely important for all Christians to get the proper historical knowledge of the Church of God. The true church has always been here since Jesus walked the Earth. Since the early beginning of the seventh church epoch, the true church has slowly unrolled this special knowledge - exposing publicly now, the John Class.

All Christians are welcome to join in this special class which is giving this final message to planet Earth. This is the final cry to planet Earth. We do not know how long this final call will be given. We only know and realize that it is here and we must respond. True Christians never have to actually meet each other to have the “body of Christ” connection. It is the fact that we are bound together in “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” and that there are “no divisions among us”. We are the Family of God on planet Earth.

All “children of the Light” are learning the Seventh Epochal Revelation and are proclaiming it how and when they can. We realize that we can in no way explain all of the important knowledge that we have been given all at once. It takes time for many of the truths that we teach to become personally experienced. Many have chosen not to mention “Antiochene Christianity”, but instead to just teach and live the Pure Message. Many have brought others to the True Light this way.

Going Deeper into our Ancient Past

The true Christian community traces its origins to the Christian community founded in Antioch. This was the Antioch in Syria built in 301 B.C. It became the third largest city in the Roman empire with a population of 500,000 people.

Ancient Antioch basically became the leading center of Christian thought. The term "Antiochene" designates a distinct theological style. The original "followers of the Way" were first called "Christian" in Antioch (Acts 11:26). One of the leading members of the Antiochene Church was St. Barnabas. He was sent to organize the new church (Acts 11:19-25).

Some Cypriote and Cyrenic Jews who had been brought up in Greek communities and who had different perspectives on the world than Palestinian Jews resided in Antioch. The bulk of the Ancient Antiochene Church of God was in fact Gentile. The Greeks that accepted the Gospel were referred to by the Antiochene Christian Jews as “Godfearers”.

Antioch became the center from which many missionaries were trained and sent forth. From Antioch, Apostle Paul started his first missionary journey (Acts 13:1-3) and returned to it (Acts 14:26. His third journey also started from there.

St. Ignatius of Antioch (3rd Bishop of Antioch) was Bishop there for forty years. He was one of the first to call the "one church" catholic - meaning universal.

The early church of Antioch had prophets and teachers (Acts 13:1-5). Some important people in the early Antiochene Church were:

1      Barnabas “Son of Encouragement” - Jew

2      Simeon (who is called Niger) “black man”

3      Lucius of Cyrene - Greek

4      Manean (member of the court of Harod) - Gentile

5      Saul (Apostle Paul) - Israelite

We see that it was racially diverse.

Antioch was a great business center because of its trading by ships in the Mediterranean Sea - Great business connections and multi-cultural. Now we will cover some history regarding the first Antioch School of Theology and theological development there.

Developing theology in the school involved:

A tendency toward Aristotelian stress on concrete reality, factual historic information and analysis. They favored a historical understanding and factual, literal reading of Scripture (Plainest). They also did not deny the Mysteries of the Scriptures but held many of these sacred teachings for the more mature Christians (Such as the Cabbalistic teachings). Their Soteriological understanding is in agreement with St. Luther’s as expressed in “The Book of Concord”, thus the modern day Antiochene Christians use the Lutheran Orthodox catechism in their teachings.

In Antiochene theology the Original Model predominates (Dual nature/dual will). Though early Antiochene Christians struggled about issues regarding the incarnation and Deity of Messiah, their early appointed Bishops helped clear the path to proper understanding. They also fought against Docetism. The seventh and last true great Bishop of Antioch (before the Alexandrian teachings started to corrupt, and come in) was St. Theophilus. He was the first to use the theological term, “Trinity” (169 – 182 A.D.) showing that the doctrine of the Trinity came from the Ancient Antiochene School. (Not from Roman Catholics)

The Ancient Antiochene Church of God (AACG) also has the proper understanding between Apophatic and Cataphatic theology from Absolutism. We believe that Cataphatic theology keeps Apophatic theology from subjectivisim.

We also hold to early and latter developmentism of Dispensational Theology. Thus, we believe in seven literal dispensations and numerous “Earth Ages” (Earth Ages before the “first humans” and a final three after Adam and Eve – we are currently in the Second Earth Age).

We believe that we are “partakers of the Divine Nature” (2nd Peter 1:4) and that we must be constantly aware of God’s presence in us just as a pregnant woman is aware that a growing and living child dwells within her. (Jeremiah 30:6)

Begin to truly understand the Depth of Ancient Antiochene Christian theology….

We recognize 32 Bishops from the Ancient Antiochene Church but we really only “super trust” the first seven because Bishop Maximus was the 8th and brought some pagan Alexandrian teachings into the church. After him, most all other early bishops were corrupted by it and in fact brought other heresies in. Here is the list of the first seven that we fully trust:

1-Apostle Peter (Spoken of in Scripture)

2-Evodius – (53-69 A.D.) Protector of the original ‘Q’ document.

3-Ignatius – (70-107 A.D.) He was martyred in the reign of Trajan. His Seven Epistles are unique sources for the Church even today.

4-Heron – (107-127 A.D.) Had some of the early and proper Christian Cabbalah teachings.

5-Cornelius – (127-169 A.D.) Had the proper doctrine of True Israel.

6-Eros – (154-169 A.D.) Known as “Eros of Antioch”.

7-Theophilus – (169-182 A.D.) The last true Greek Bishop.

As time went on, with the help of the Cappadocian Fathers (320-400 A.D.) the true Antiochene Church escaped the neo-Arian heresy.

Regarding one of the last things that Bishop Theophilus (7th Bishop) left the church was his letters titled “Apology to Autolycus” which contain a series of books defending Christianity that were written to a pagan friend of his.

We are learning Ancient Antiochene facts.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

More Facts about us, the AACG.....

The abbreviation AACG (Ancient Antiochene Church of God) does not refer to a universally recognized, historic denomination or standard religious term. In general historical and religious contexts, this phrase is typically used as a descriptive term rather than an official organizational title. Predominately it points to the ministry started by Presbyter King on October 10th 2017.

A nugget of truth refers to a small, valuable, or core piece of factual information hidden within a much larger statement. The "Truth" must be searched out and found in the person of Jesus the Christ.
Relationship to the Antiochene Tradition... While the AACG uses the term “Antiochene” to connect itself to the early Church of Antioch and its theological heritage, it is distinct from the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, a mainstream Eastern Orthodox jurisdiction. The AACG’s use of “Antiochene” is more symbolic and theological than ecclesiastical, reflecting its interest in the Antiochene School of Interpretation’s emphasis on typology and literal-spiritual reading of Scripture. In summary, the AACG is a modern, online-based Christian movement with a strong emphasis on early Church theology, premillennial eschatology, and Patristic authority, operating through digital media to spread its message.
