Heresy
teaching of Apostle Theo Wolmarans:2017
Theo Wolmarans
is teaching double false doctrine in his book called” the Blood Covenant”. In The first false doctrine he claims that
Melchizadek is Christ Pre-incarnate. This false doctrine comes from the Gnostic teaching and also
from a Christian sect.
The second false doctrine is that tithing is a “covenant act “to pay for
ones salvation. I give a few scriptures to disprove this false doctrine of
securing or paying for your salvation with the Tithe. This false doctrine is
all based on the identity of Melchizadek. The true Identity of Melchizadek is
debatable. However to explain it in simple terms he is a type of Christ. To
explain this false teaching of Christ pre-incarnate let’s look at Genesis 14.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. (Genesis 14:18 KJV) …the
original Hebrew uses the world El Elyon for Most high God .Which has its
origins in the Phoenician language , who worshiped El, a pagan Canaanite deity.
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies
into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of
all. (Genesis 14:20 KJV) … the
original Hebrew says the best from the top, so it cannot mean the same as the
Biblical tithe of Malachi.
Theo's salvation doctrine quote from his book." In this covenant Jesus gave us all He is on the cross, and we in turn give our life and all we own to Jesus-that's how we enter the covenant of salvation. We become one life together.

Theo says that
Abraham gave Melchizadek (Christ) a tenth, and interprets this as a covenant
act. The covenant act refers to giving from both sides according to Theo.
Christ giving his blood and body (bread and Wine) and Abraham giving a tenth of
the spoils of war. So in fact what he is saying is one must pay a tenth to the
Christ (Church) in return for salvation (the blood and Body). This is a
heretical teaching. Ephesians corrects this false belief.
2:8 “ For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest
any man should boast.”
There is no covenant
act of giving to earn or pay for ones salvation. There is a concept of a
covenant act in the Bible. The covenant act in the Old Testament was
circumcision and not giving of a tithe to a king Priest. God did make a
covenant with Abraham, but it was one sided covenant(unilateral covenant). God
(Yahweh) even provided a ram for the sacrifice. The Bible further says we can’t
use gold or money to pay for our salvation. Theo’s covenant understanding is
based on pagan covenants and not Jewish covenants. In the New Testament ,Jesus
made a unilateral covenant. The word covenant(
Latin) was translated from the Greek word Testament. A Testament comes
into effect when somebody dies.
1Pe 1:18 “ Forasmuch as ye know
that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as
silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers; “
Paul says in Galatians 3:1 who has
bewitched you to believe another gospel. Another gospel is a gospel by law and
works of the flesh. People feel guilty if they don’t pay tithe. If they sin
they can at least pay tithes to cover their guilt and “pay for their sins.”
This is what is happening at the subconscious level. We can never pay for our own
sins with good works or money. This is human nature to try make right with God
and obey commandments. Theo and CFC argue that if you love God you will obey
His commandments. This tithing scripture is referring to the Pharisees who were
still under the law and still serving in the Temple system with sacrifices.
Biblical hermeneutics are ignored in Theo’s interpretation. Some basic Bible
rules for correct interpretation are audience relevance and historical context.
So Jesus was speaking to those under the law and temple system and not to the
modern day church or even the Church of Acts. Jesus had not died yet , so the
laws and tithing was still in effect. Even the book of Hebrews must be read in
context. Otherwise we will make up new doctrines. It is absurd to think that
Jesus receives tithes in Heaven. What would He do with all that money? No, man
is the one that needs money. Truly the devil and his deception is active in the
church with such false doctrine. Trying to make people pay for their salvation
is really heretical .Just like in the days of Martin Luther in the Dark Ages.
Martin Luther spoke against this evil of his day, which was also taught by the
Catholic Church.
Theo also says life equals money.
This is his own subjective interpretation of what life is. This is incorrect as the Bible says life is the blood or
blood is life. Again Jesus gave His life and we give our lives ie the living
part of us which is made up of Spirit, Soul and body. Your life can also mean
the time spent on earth. Do you live for God or for yourself.Time is exchanged
for money to live in this world. But we can’t exchange money for eternal life. The
Bible says we are in this world and not of this world. Money is of this world,
and not of Heaven. Don’t let anybody deceive you that you need to pay for your Eternal
salvation with the Tithe. Salvation is a free gift received by faith only.
In the American Media a drug addict
was arrested for trying to sell golden tickets to Heaven (2016). It seems this
is what Pastor Theo is trying to do.

MELCHIZEDEK
Various Interpretations of His Identity
KJV Commentary - What is true of Melchizedek (the type) only because
of silence is intrinsically true of Christ (the reality). Melchizedek is without
parents only in that they are unknown. (Dobson,
E G, Charles Feinberg, E Hindson, Woodrow Kroll, H L. Wilmington: KJV Bible
Commentary: Nelson)Various Interpretations of His Identity
John MacArthur - But Melchizedek is described as made like the Son of God (7:3), not as being the Son of God. I believe that Melchizedek was a historical human being, whose priestly ministry typifies that of Christ (see discussion of Typology), a man whom God designed to use as a picture of Jesus Christ. But we cannot be sure of the details of his identity. (MacArthur, John: Hebrews. Moody Press )
