Separation of Church and God,The Final Judgment. If you have ever wanted to know the truth about what the Bible says, and what God really wants you to do in your life, without all of the man made rules and religious fervor mixed in, this book is for you. It was written in a straightforward manner for church goers, ex church goers, people who have given up on God, non Christians, atheists, agnostics and the undecided common man on the street who is seeking the truth about God. This book, like none before it, outside of the Bible itself, separates the imperfect church from the perfect God. Readers Write: "Separation of Church and God" is a truly a thought provoking, and enlightening book. It covers difficult topics with grace and a firm gasp of the material, and its relevance today. After all, we have continually obscured God with our over complication of religion. Through the use of pertinent Scriptural reference, Mr. Heckathorne demonstrates how to clearly delineate between what it is God has given us via the Bible, and how organized religion as a whole has taken that book and turned it to serve its own purpose." Joseph P. Hardin "The book "Separation of Church and God" is truly a must read for anyone who has an interest in God. This book made me think, it made me cry, it made me mad, and it made me laugh, but more importantly, it taught me things in a way that makes sense, and in the end it gave me a great feeling of security. The author covers so many difficult and controversial subjects which, as I now see, are not difficult, and shouldnt be controversial once understood. Anyone who can read can understand this book. It makes the Bible so very understandable, and the scriptures just seem to fly off of the page at you." R. Marie Lynn "Separation of Church and God" is a great primer for learning the truth taught in the Bible. The book is enjoyable to read due to the laid back style of the writer and the humor that he interspersed. That in combination with the actual Bible verses written out followed by an explanation, gave me a solid foundation in Bible Doctrine, without realizing I was learning. After reading the book, I had more confidence in my ability to witness to people I thought I could not reach. This book is unique in its message, and it has made me rethink about which church I attend, how I pray, and my relationship with the Lord." W.Keith McCahey Excerpts: "You cannot be bad enough to be rejected for salvation and you can t be good enough to earn it." "We must separate ourselves, not from the body of Christ, but from man's false system of self glorification,which oftentimes calls itself religion or a church." "This is the origin of the Battle between good and evil. This battle rages yet today in our actions, our thoughts, our way of life and our beliefs about Jesus Christ. We are pawns in a desperate fight, torn between Satan s deceit and Gods truth." "The church should not be a business. The church is a place of worship, prayer and learning. It is a place where we go to fellowship with other believers and partake of the Lords Table in remembrance of Christ. It is not, should not and cannot be a place of commerce. This is strictly forbidden by Christ himself and any church who is involved in these things is in disobedience and defiance of the God which they claim to worship." "Time is nothing compared to eternity. If you live a hundred years on earth what is that compared to endless trillions in eternity? The secular things that we assume are important here on earth are insignificant compared to our eternal state." "What you believe does not determine what truth is, but what you believe determines your eternal future." "Today many churches are actually allowing Satan to infiltrate by allowing non Biblical practices such as homosexual pastors and priests, the teaching of evolution, worshiping idols, commercialism etc. All of these peripheral issues constitute religion and turn mans focus away from Satan s plan and the true issue of salvation." "No matter what path a man has taken in his life if he, in fact, diligently seeks truth he will end up at the doorstep of Christ." "People believe things because they believe what man tells them to believe. God has a specific purpose for your life so we must always compare what man says with what the Bible truly says in order to determine what the truth is so that we may discover and carry out our purpose." "Unbelievers observe the actions of Christians and many times form their beliefs about God, not so much by what we say but by what we do and how we behave within the church." "The Bible tells us that we not only have a soul, but a human spirit as well. The problem with the spirit is that when we are born, it is dead. It is dead because we have inherited Adam s sin. It simply lies there dormant. The spirit is that which comprehends spiritual phenomena, essentially the Bible and its application to our lives. When we believe in Christ our h
