Story Behind the Song
"Faith healers never hit up hospitals, because they're not who they say..."
All of the actual "gifts of the spirit" from the Apostles day as taught in the Bible have been changed to the false counterfeits seen on religious TV shows today. This is a song that promises these charlatans that they will not get away with their crime of misrepresenting God. Never mind the "Prophets", it's all about PROFIT$.

APOSTLES
There were only 12
and there were never to be any more than that
you can read it for yourself
Modern PROPHETS
predictions unerring?
yet prophecy means only to expound the Word
not fortune telling
many TEACHERS
spreading vicious lies
but if they only had the holy spirit of God
they might become wise
Thefts of the Spirit
are what we see today
thieves making claims
with ambitious aims
they won't get away
gifts of HEALING
we don't see today
faith healers never hit up hospitals
because they're not who they say
conjure up a MIRACLE
just to have a little faith
I thought we were not supposed to walk by sight
but by "the Lord saith"
words of WISDOM
KNOWLEDGE from above
we don't see them often as they're meant to be
reflections of love
Thefts of the Spirit
are what we see today
thieves making claims
with ambitious aims
they won't get away
DISCERNING spirits
so misunderstood
painting righteousness as heresy
while calling evil good
TONGUES of fire
long since abated
and back then they didn't talk in gobbledygook
and always translated
EVANGELISM
like the old Pharisees
they seek to convert you to their own destruction
traversing land and seas
Thefts of the Spirit
are what we see today
thieves making claims
with ambitious aims
they won't get away
Story Behind the Song
Beware of Polytheism
Historically Christianity religion along with Judaism and Islam have been categorized as monotheistic religions. However, since many Christians believed in the Trinity, some felt their claim of monotheism was suspect. Since the Trinitarian's historic phrase "one substance" was nebulas enough to imply their three gods were one person--the Trinitarian wing of the Christian church was accepted as monotheistic.
The word "Trinity" does not appear in the Bible. Adolf Harneck, a Trinitarian and noted church historian observed that as late as the 3rd Century most Christians did not believe the holy Spirit was a personality but merely the power of God. Early church writers, such as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen, Novatian, Arnobius and Lactantius, were very explicit in affirming that the Heavenly Father alone is the supreme God and that Jesus is completely subordinate to His authority and will. As educated converts from Paganism vied for positions of authority in the church. They brought with them the pagan concept of a "triune god" that was resisted by ordinary believers. "The victory of orthodoxy [so called] was a triumph of priests and theologians over the indeed deeply rooted faith of the people."
In 325 AD Emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nice and through political intrigue with the bishops had the Nicene Creed formulated. It stated that the Father and Son are coequal and co-eternal. This disagreed with Jesus' words, "My Father is greater than I." (John 14:28) "I can of mine own self do nothing my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30) "as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." (John 20:21) "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father: and to my God and your God." (John 20:17)
Note that the Heavenly Father is said to be the God of Jesus. Jesus spoke of his Father in John 17:3 as the "only true God."
SENT

Sent by God Almighty!
Jesus never claimed to be God
just the Son of God
it's written down in black and white
he gave all the credit to his Father
he was not a robber
they're just not hearing him right [Philippians 2:5-7]
Nowhere in the Bible is a "trinity"
3 in 1 divinity
of pagan origin
"Hear O Israel the Lord is One"
and He has a son
to call the Son the Father is sin [Mark 12:28-34]
Trinity, 3 persons of divinity, Plato's philosophy
this is what they're telling me to believe
Jesus never made the most unreasonable boast
that he was his own God, while he was a holy ghost
Jesus was SENT.... by a Higher up Somebody
Jesus was SENT... he was sent for you and me
Jesus said "My Father is greater than I" [John 14:28]
the Son didn't lie
but they don't believe what he said
they'd rather make him out to be a god/man
that's not the divine plan
for only a man could end up dead [Isaiah 53:12]
They say they don't understand it but believe it
well I want to understand it
that's why we're given intellect
they say one God's 3 different people
underneath their steeple
where simple reasoning is wrecked
Trinity, 3 persons of divinity, Plato's philosophy
this is what they're telling me to believe
Jesus never made the most unreasonable boast
that he was his own God, while he was a holy ghost [repeat]
He was SENT by God Almighty!
Jesus called himself "anointed"
meaning one appointed
for which he lived in infamy
ministers call him God Almighty
however not rightly
to anoint "the Most High" is blasphemy
Perfect Adam's corresponding price [I Cor 15:21-22]
our Ransom sacrifice [I Timothy 2:5-6]
he was SENT to be a perfect man [Hebrews 5:8-10]
balancing the scales of divine justice [Romans 5:14-19]
he was one just like us [Hebrews 4:14-15]
not a goat nor god fulfilled the plan [Deut 21:19]
Trinity, 3 persons of divinity, Plato's philosophy
this is what they're telling me to believe
Jesus never made the most unreasonable boast
that he was his own God, while he was a holy ghost [repeat]
No he was SENT.
This song is put together almost entirely from Bible verses, and it summarizes the correct view of the benevolent result of what is typically looked forward to with dread: The coming "Judgment Day."
The Bible promises punishment of the wicked, but also their subsequent education and opportunity to reform, followed by a righteous reign ON EARTH. The day so badly mis-represented by mainstream religion is the very thousand year "day" when peace loving people of the world will rejoice. It will be the 1000 year day of equity and justice, ushering in the blessings of God's Kingdom on earth.
"He shall judge the world in righteousness and the people with his Truth..."
Let the heavens rejoice! and let the earth be glad:
let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein:
then shall all of the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord:
for He cometh to judge the earth [Psalm 96:11-13]
He shall judge the world with righteousness
and the people with His Truth
and there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars
and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity
the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear
and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth
it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah,
in the Day of Judgment than for that city [Luke 21:25,26 & Matt 10:15]
Fire and brimstone, earthquake and hail
not upon the people, the systems fail
[Chorus]
The Great Day of the Lord is near,
it is near and hasteth greatly
even the voice of the day of the Lord,
the mighty man shall cry bitterly
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress
a day of waste and desolation, darkness and gloominess...
of clouds and thick darkness... of the trumpet and alarm
neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them...
the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy [Zeph 1:14-18]
Fire and brimstone, earthquakes and hail
not upon the people, but the systems fail
Present distress, uncertain developments
Judgment Day is here for the worldly governments
a great blessing to all peace loving
out of every nation, race and religion
Judgment Day is only for the wicked to be dreading
ending their oppression
[Chorus]
Gather yourselves together yea gather together
O nations that have no shame
before the decree bring forth
before the day pass as the chaff
before the fierce anger o f the Lord come upon you
before the Day of the Lord's anger come upon you
seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth which have wrought His judgment
Seek righteousness! Seek meekness!
It may be ye shall be hid in the Day of the Lord's anger [Zeph 2:1-3]
[Chorus]
Fire, brimstone, earthquakes and hail
not upon the people, not upon the people, but the systems fail!

"I wanted a tune where there were flangy percussion sounds, sort of a third world meets outer space thing, for a discussion of supernatural phenomena....
Spiritism is an area of personal study, and the dangers of it are discussed in lines of rhyme that were intended to be of an exact symmetrical syllabic length - a lyrical feat attempted just for fun....
The word "Nephilim" comes from the Hebrew language meaning "giants". In short, what I'm saying is that much of the social upheaval we are undergoing is accompanied by "giant" mergers in the corporate and religious world, and this is because there are "Falling Giants" in our day that are parallel to those in the days of Noah, as it is written: "There were giants in the earth in those days." Gen. 6:4 Those giants were killed in the flood, but the same fallen angels that caused them to come about still exist today, and are engaged in new activities. This explains many things, including the increased unexplained "sightings" and much religious hysteria. These are also due to the activities of the fallen angels.
From Strong's Concordance:

The concept of the Rapture is out of harmony with the Bible and Reason. It's just another man-made creed in need of smashing. :)
The Rapture

Ooh they all dream about it
ooh they all sing of the rapture!
The Rapture
Well they call it "The Rapture"
such a lovely word
well they call it the rapture
like the sweet melody of a bird
and no it's not in the Bible
but you'd think it's all the disciples ever heard!
If you want to skip out on the suffering
before it starts you can leave
here's an instantaneous one way ticket
all you need do is believe!
Although Jesus suffered
and his followers did grieve
you can be part of their vanishing act
just make sure that you first look up their sleeve!
This car will have no operator
the bumper stickers explain
when the saints go marching into glory
the pilot will exit the plane!
It's the start of "the tribulation"
after they go, then comes the pain - (oh no!)
and so there can be no doubt about it people
their crazy doctrines are insane
And they call it "The Rapture"
such a lovely word
they call it the rapture
like the sweet melody of a bird
and no it's not in the Bible
but you'd think it's all the disciples ever heard!
They beg you for breakfast all morning
they plead for their dinner at night
their god owns the cattle on 10,000 hills
but he just ain't feeding them right!
They need money to fly home
on their tax-free rapture flight
so they promise you something for nothing
and then they disappear out of sight
But really - the rapture is not in the open
it's not an event you can see
it's the rising up from the sleep of death
of the saints from where they be!
No, they didn't go strait to heaven baby
at least not immediately
the book says they sleep in the dust of the earth
until Jesus sets them free!
And they call it "The Rapture"
such a lovely word
Yeah they call it the rapture
like the sweet melody of a bird
and no it's not found in the Bible
but you'd think it's all the disciples of the Lord ever heard!
Story Behind the Song
Throughout our recent history, no preacher has ever more clearly elucidated the story of the Bible more accurately than Charles Taze Russell. You can tune in to every single modern religious broadcast available, and NEVER hear the simplicity of the old old story, WITHOUT the arsenic of money thrown in. Russell never took up a collection in Church. Not ever. Not once! That is a big part of why he was hated by his enemies, the other preachers, and yet loved by the regular people everywhere. This song features the actual voice of Charles Taze Russell, who is the greatest preacher of both the 19th and 20th centuries, and who is NOT the founder of the "Jevohah's Witnesses" organization.
Here are his words, which originally opened the presentation of the first talking film, "The Photo Drama of Creation." It was the cutting edge of technology then....

Truly never a man spake like this man
He yet speaks to us all
"come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden
and I will give you rest"
Yea and the hour is coming
when all shall be privileged to hear
his blessed message
All the e blind eyes will be opened and
all the mentally deaf ears will be unstopped
ALL that are in their graves shall come forth
The great Seventh Day of the Genesis account
is itself a great week
each day of which is one thousand years long
The six already y past have been
man's work week of struggle
against sin and death under the curse pronounced in Eden
Now the Great Sabbath is beginning
It is as God has promised,
that the curse shall roll away from before the blessings of Messiah's Kingdom
for which so long we have prayed
"Thy Kingdom Come"
A thousand years earth's coming glory!
Let us all resolve for peace and righteousness in word and deed
Let us keep in memory the great Bible fact
that creation is not yet complete
The completed creation will find
our earth a paradise, and filled with a perfect and happy human family
in harmony with the Creator
Thereafter there shall be no more
sin, sorrow, crying or dying
The curse of death will have been rolled away by the Redeemer
and the blessing of God will be upon all - everlasting life
Thus the power of God will be exercised
by Messiah's Kingdom when as Jesus declared,
"ALL that are in their graves
shall come forth"
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss!
All that are in their graves
shall come forth!
Wonderful things in the Bible I see
this is the dearest, my Father loves me
When we realize t hat the Great Almighty God
is the friend of His creatures
it gives us confidence in Him
and the desire to address Him -
"Our Father in heaven"
How interesting to know that He has
the worlds affairs in His charge
and that the reign of sin and death
will soon be overthrown by Messiah's Kingdom
A thousand years earth's coming glory
Let us all resolve for peace and righteousness in word and deed
Love is of God
cruelty is a mark of sin
The Bible's teachings promote sympathy - love
The cruelties practiced
in the name of Christianity
were induced by false doctrines
God was pictured by the creeds as a demon
Thank God for the greater light of our day
Now the Bible shows us the True God,
and His glorious promises
for all His creatures
Thus the power of God will be exercised
by Messiah's Kingdom when as Jesus declared, "ALL that are in their graves
shall come forth"
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal l banner,
it must not suffer loss!
All that are in their graves
shall come forth!
Charles Taze Russell - Laodicean Messenger
Let us all resolve for peace and righteousness in word and deed
A thousand years earth's coming glory!

Story Behind the Song - The song is a true story...
The original use of the phrase "Great Creed Smashing""The general effect, not far
distant, will
be first open infidelity, then anarchy. For much, very much of this,
lukewarm Christians, both in pulpits and pews, who know or ought to
know better, are responsible. Many such are willing to compromise the
truth, slander God's character, and stultify and deceive themselves,
for the sake of peace, or ease, or present earthly advantage. And any
minister, who by uttering a word for an unpopular truth, will risk the
loss of his stipend, and reputation for being "established" in the bog
of error, is considered a bold man, even though he ignominiously hide
his identity by withholding his name from his published protests.
If professed Christians would be honest with themselves and true to God, they would soon learn that "their fear toward God is taught by the precepts of men." (`Isa. 29:13`.) If all would decide to let God be true though it should prove every man a liar (`Rom. 3:4`), and should show all human creeds to be imperfect and misleading, there would be a great creed-smashing work done very shortly. Then the Bible would be studied and appreciated as never before; and its testimony that the wages of sin is death (extinction), would be recognized as 'a just recompense of reward.'" C.T.

For so long now they've been telling us these liesGreat Creed Smashing
without making anyone wise
for so long now they've been telling us these lies
It's time we had a great creed smashing
Once upon a time we believed the earth was flat
and the center of the universe at that
along came Copernicus
who told the greater truth to us
and so the "Church" squashed him like a gnat
Once long ago we believed in a hell
where the heathen would eventually dwell
the waters were so muddy
til' modern Bible study
and one by one these superstition's fell
Hard to believe it was all in control
of the devil in his counterfeit role
slavery and division
through use of religion
and threatening the loss of your soul
Their lies were so frightening
their speech mesmerizing
their clothes so commanding and dashing
there would be no criticizing
and no enlightening
no not before the Great Creed Smashing
Remember back when
we thought that men were great
when they upheld the church and the state?
they kept the status quo
and crushed any foe
who'd recognize them as apostate
Recall the sins of our spiritual youth
we'd confess to a man in a booth
we burned out incense
turned beads on our lents
no we worship Him in spirit and Truth
Hard to believe it was all in control
of the devil in his counterfeit role
slavery and division
through use of religion
and threatening the loss of your soul
Their lies were so frightening
their speech mesmerizing
their clothes so commanding and dashing
there would be no criticizing
and no enlightening
no not before the Great Creed Smashing
Who can forget the bad habits
of the men in white collars
Who'd torture a man while he hollers?
ruling the nations
child molestation
absolving the laity for dollars
So glad to see that we finally learned
although our reward was not earned
that God cares for man
and His Great Master Plan
unfolds with every history page turned
Once we were blind but now the cloud is lifting
errors manifest in time
the Truth is sifting
no there wasn't any "trinity"
or innate immortality
thank God the sands of time are finally shifting
The lies were so frightening
their speech mesmerizing
their clothes so commanding and dashing
there would be no criticizing
and no enlightening
no not before the Great Creed Smashing
