    About this ebook

    "Executed to Suppress His Message" explains how institutionalized Christian religions acquired vast financial resources by suppressing the teachings of Christ, then substituting their own humanly-created doctrines for our Lord's gospel. By turning a blind eye to our Lord's commands against using money within the Church, Christian leaders have built hundreds-of-thousands of churches and acquired millions of members — but in doing so, they have hidden Christ's good news about a God of infinite love and forgiveness, as they work to frighten people into church attendance, by promoting a fictional gospel about a God of judgment and punishment.

    When I was in my late twenties, I enthusiastically jumped into a Protestant denomination. I was very dedicated and spent 25 years attending church every week, bible studies 1-2 times a week, and volunteering for every service and evangelical task I could find. Later I was ordained and occasionally spoke before the congregation. I was well on my way to the Kingdom of God (or so I thought).But toward the end of my church experience, the senior pastor of my denomination passed away and another man took over. This new man determined that certain church doctrines were wrong—and he began to change those doctrines. This caused quite a commotion, forcing the denomination into several doctrinal camps. Many high-ranking pastors left, took brethren with them, and started new churches. My head was spinning: I had left Catholicism to find Protestantism, which I considered God’s true religion. But now my Protestant world was falling apart.So I decided to find out which senior pastor had the “right” doctrines. For many months, I spent all my spare time studying the Bible: I never had studied like this before; instead I just believed what I heard from the pulpit. Of course, I was told that I should “prove all things.” But I thought this meant I should make sure the speaker accurately quoted the Scriptures. Yet now as I reflect back, perhaps I was just too lazy to study on my own?And as I carefully studied the Bible, I discovered numerous Scriptures I had never heard at church. It became clear that my church was not preaching a great deal of what Jesus taught. Thus I wondered: “Am I in the wrong Protestant denomination?” So I set about to research other denominations and what they believed: Baptist, Methodist, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Adventist, Evangelicals, etc. I discovered how each of these denominations had vastly different views on doctrine. So why were their doctrines so radically different?Then I decided to go through the gospels and carefully document all of Jesus’ teachings. I took my list of the Lord’s teachings and compared it to the doctrines of major Christian denominations. And when I did this, I discovered something profound: each and every Christian denomination ignored the same set of Jesus’ teachings. These teachings are never mentioned at church; nor are they discussed in church literature; neither are they described in any denominational Statements of Belief.Across the board, churches and their pastors ignore these specific doctrines of Jesus Christ. They are never, ever shared with God’s people. Moreover, both the Bible and church history show how even back in the 1st Century, preachers were suppressing these very same doctrines.How important are these teachings of Jesus? He was killed to suppress them.So I wrote Executed to Suppress His Message to explain how key teachings of Jesus were suppressed, modified and replaced in order to raise up Christian churches in the image of the Old Covenant religions Jesus condemned.I hope that you will find this book informative—and that it will strengthen your personal relationship with God.God bless,D.

      Adam and Eve - D. A. Taylor

      Introduction

      Welcome to Volume 8 of Executed to Suppress His Message.

      In Volume 1 we saw how money-funded, institutionalized religions suppress the teachings of Jesus Christ, so they can promote their own particular doctrines and beliefs. And now with this volume, we continue to address these suppressed teachings.

      Having Christian parents, I was introduced to the religion of Jesus Christ at an early age. My family regularly attended weekly church services. And later when I was a bit older, my parents enrolled me in church classes for teenagers. So by the time I was thirteen years of age, my views on Christianity were firmly established.

      Here is what I believed:

      1) There exists a holy and righteous, all-powerful God;

      2) Disobeying God is called sin;

      3) God created an angel called Lucifer who rebelled and became the evil Satan;

      4) God will punish sinners by sending them to eternal punishing in the Devil’s empire of Hell; while those who are obedient to God will go on to eternal happiness in heaven.

      According to my parent’s church, the Garden of Eden was an example of the above principles. God created Adam and Eve, warning them to obey Him. But along came the Devil, who convinced the first two humans to disobey God and sin. So instead of allowing Adam and Eve to go to Heaven, God removed them from the Garden, sending them off to labor for food until they died, after which they suffered for all eternity in Hell.

      My teenage mind readily accepted this story as a basic outline for the Christian religion. And from what I heard at church, it seemed there was little else I needed to learn or do, other than making sure I attended services every week.

      Thus Christianity seemed very simple: I should worship and obey God, overcome sin, and make sure I went to church. And if I followed these rules, I would go on to eternal happiness in heaven. But if I disobeyed, God would send me to Hell, where I would be tortured and punished for all eternity.

      A Divided Christianity

      It now has been over five decades since those early teenage years. And throughout these many years, I attended churches from several Christian denominations. During this period, I heard thousands of sermons explaining what God is doing with humankind. But instead of obtaining more understanding, I only learned how Christian churches contradict
