As you may know, the church is in an exciting time of transition back to her first love, back to the first works of the Second Covenant of Jesus Christ. As a steward of the house of Jesus Christ, His judgments of mercy for the church were revealed to me in 1982. The word of the Lord said to me: ‘THERE SHALL BE A UNITY THAT SHALL NOT BE FEIGNED, AND A ONENESS THAT WILL NOT BE DECEITFUL.’ The Lord is speaking of the restoration of His church. Before it was in our minds to pray for revival, it was in the mind and heart of God. Before we knew to ask God to return the church to true Apostolic Governance, it was in the mind of our Lord. Before we knew to cry out to God for truth, it was in the mind of the Lord to return the church to the unity of the faith and the cross of Christ. We know that when God gives a word He already has a plan to bring that word to pass and a season for its fulfillment. What begins as a still small voice that is heard by a few, grows until the word of the Lord fills the earth, making glad the hearts of all those who hear. God has marked this time in church history to restore living apostles to teach and nurture the church. For As God sent Adam to steward His garden so God sends apostles to steward His divine nature in the hearts of His saints. The apostles of Jesus Christ: Peter, John, James, and Paul were called of God to direct the church in righteousness and build the church in faith. The grace of God did not end with the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. By step upon step and order by order the church is built by the Spirit of the Lord through living apostles today. The Bible teaches that the New Testament is not the letter of the text, but the living record of Jesus Christ. Therefore apostles teach Christ by the pattern of His covenant and believers live by the power of the Spirit. Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology has much to offer. If you are a believer in Christ and would like to transition into the Second Covenant to grow up into Christ’s fulness and learn how to minister to others, we welcome you. The season is manifest for leaders and ministers to join hands to labor in His field, reaping the end time harvest. The righteous rejoice in the equity of God, which we carry to all places, to all brethren, to enrich all in the faith. Enrollment into the Second 8TH Week Apostolic Institute of Theology covers all the basics of the Christian walk and preparation for ministerial duties. Curriculum covers the foundation of truth, why the church needs living apostles today, Discipleship, Doxology Training, Dream Workshop, Pattern Recognition Skills, stewardship, and God’s Intelligent Design for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation in the soul. If you are a minister seeking leadership training and accreditation, we welcome you. If you are a minister and have a congregation, Bible study group, or college and you would like to transition into the Second Covenant, we welcome you. If you are looking for a church home, we welcome you to take our membership course and begin to assemble with us online. Let your hands be strong to labor in righteousness. charity will release the soul of bondage.

Second 8th Week ministries and the Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology were founded by Eric vonAnderseck who has also anointed himself as a doctor, and an apostle. If we study scripture we find that there were witnesses to the calling of the original apostles. Barnabas was a witness for Paul and the 12 had many witnesses. Eric VonAnderseck has no such witnesses, not one person can confirm he was ever called by the Lord to be an apostle. Those who are discerning will immediately be suspicious of VonAnderseck’s supposed apostolic calling, and will then wonder about his claim to be a doctor.

While looking over Eric’s web page I noticed that he has given himself many titles. On one page he calls himself “Dr. Eric vonAnderseck, ThD, DD, Chief Apostle of Jesus Christ for the Second 8th Week of Righteousness.” I’m sure that you would agree that, that is quite an impressive title.

I asked Eric several times where he got his degree and to prove that he is indeed a doctor. He refused to answer me and refused every request to prove that he is a doctor. Instead of giving a clear honest answer vonAnderseck played word games, implied titles don’t matter and continually answered questions with more and more questions.I later learned that Eric founded his own school “Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology” and that school is where he got his doctorate from. It seems that the self appointed apostle Eric vonAnderseck created his own school and then wrote himself and his wife, Marie, degrees. I can only suppose that his wife, Dr. Maria vonAnderseck, taught him and he taught her, and they then graded each othes papers.

The apparently false apostle Eric vonAnderseck wrote, on his doctoral thesis, that Dr. Maria vonAnderseck helped him greatly with writing it. Are we to suppose that she evaluated his thesis that she helped write? Who evaluated hers, and who helped her write it? Did she sign his degree and he signed hers?

The following quotes are taken from some of Eric’s many web pages.

“Dr. Eric vonAnderseck, Chief Apostle of Jesus Christ, Founder, Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology’

” Dr. vonAnderseck founded the Second 8th Week International Accreditation Agency. In 2003 Drs. Eric and Maria vonAnderseck founded Second 8th Week, Inc.”

“Second 8th Week University, the international distance learning University founded by the vonAndersecks in 1999, stands as a beacon and pacesetter in Christian Education for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation.”

From what Eric writes we see that he founded his own school and then founded and accrediting agency. HMMMM does the term “conflict of interest” come to mind?

This is taken from the Bio page on Eric’s web site.
“Dr. vonAnderseck’s lifetime work and philanthropy has earned him a Doctor of Divinity award from Second 8th Week™ University, where he serves as the Provost and Chief Educator and Lecturer.” (more titles!)

Also from the same article:
“Dr. Maria vonAnderseck serves as full professor at Second 8th Week University where she earned her PhD degree in Theology for her work with Dr. E. vonAnderseck and for her research in Applied Sociology: Phenomenological Studies Associated with Spiritual Transformation.”
Again, please join me in prayer for these guys and those who they have deceived or may deceive.

Chief apostle Eric vonAnderseck and his school of Errors

I recently had the displeasure of running across a false apostle on one of my favorite forums. I was banned by the forum for my strong language that I used in denouncing his fallacies and outrageous claims. His name is Eric vonAnderseck, and he will tell you that he is the chief apostle over all of the United States. Eric vonAnderseck, on his web site, gives himself the title of Chief apostle.

Eric vonAnderseck teaches some dangerous things at his self-founded Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology, but before I bore you to death and while I still have your attention I want expose the most blatant error he teaches.

Eric vonAnderseck wrote:

If your soul stands in doubt of your salvation can the scriptures in-of-itself birth the experience of your salvation.The scriptures can validate the experience, but not produce it.

Honestly, I’m so sickened I almost do not know what to say. Does this man who dares to call himself an apostle, truly believe that Scripture cannot produce salvation?

Let’s take a look at what Scripture says.

Let’s first look at John chapter 1 and we see that the Word is Jesus and Jesus is God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” (John 1:1-2)

When Eric vonAnderseck states that scripture cannot produce salvation he is, in effect, saying that God cannot produce salvation. (The Word is God.)

But maybe that’s not what Eric meant; it’s possible I’m making something out of nothing. Let’s look at what other scriptures say and see if the Bible or Scripture can produce salvation. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.” (John 5:24) Jesus is pretty clear that his Word brings salvation. We hear the Word, believe it and are saved. This is how the Word produces salvation.

The Apostle Paul had something to say about this idea that the Word can produce salvation. He wrote, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17) We see that Paul wrote, what he learned from Jesus. In short we hear the Word, we believe or have faith in the Word and we are saved by the.

The self proclaimed apostle, Eric vonAnderseck and what he teaches at his Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology are dangerous and anti-Scriptural. What he teaches denies the power of our Lord’s Word to save. Is heresy to strong a word?

I hope you will join me in praying for him and for those he has deceived.

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
(1 Corinthians 15:1-2)

I hope I still have you attention.

While looking over Eric’s web page I saw the he had many titles. On one page he calls himself “Dr. Eric vonAnderseck, ThD, DD, Chief Apostle of Jesus Christ for the Second 8th Week of Righteousness.”

I’m sure that you would agree that, that is quite an impressive title. I asked Eric several times where he got his degree. Actually, by several, I mean to say that I asked him 30 to 40 times over the course of three or four days. He refused to answer me.

I later received an email from a person who had seen my posts to Eric asking for the source of his degree. I learned that Eric founded his own school “Second 8th Week Apostolic Institute of Theology.”

It seems that the self appointed apostle Eric vonAnderseck created his own school and then wrote himself and his wife, Marie, a couple of degrees. I can only suppose that his wife, Dr. Maria vonAnderseck, taught him and he taught her.

The apparently false apostle Eric vonAnderseck wrote, on his thesis, that Dr. Maria vonAnderseck helped him greatly with writing it. Are we to suppose that she evaluated his thesis that she helped write? Who evaluated hers, and who helped her write it? Did she sign his degree and he signed her?

This is taken from the Bio page on Eric’s web site.
“Dr. vonAnderseck’s lifetime work and philanthropy has earned him a Doctor of Divinity award from Second 8th Week™ University, where he serves as …. At Second 8th Week University …”

Also from the same article:

“……Dr. Maria vonAnderseck serves as full professor at Second 8th Week University where she earned her PhD degree in Theology for her work with Dr. E. vonAnderseck”

Again, please join me in prayer for these guys and those who they have deceived or may deceive.

I have started a web site. I hope to eventually post everything I can find, that exposes vonAnderseck’s false teachings, in one place. “apostle Eric the Apostate apostle”

The attack of the anti-Christian

Endeavor, as much as you can, to keep clear of everything, which may prove injurious to your soul. People may say you are too conscientious, too particular, and ask where is the great harm of such and such things? But don’t listen to them. It is dangerous to play tricks with sharp tools: it is far more dangerous to take liberties with your immortal soul. ~J.C. Ryle

I warned earlier about preaching that is weak on the subject of sin. I now want to warn about something that is even worse. I want to expose those among us who are no better than anti-Christians. They are those who throw water on the fire that the Holy Spirit sparked in you.

These are strong words I know, but it’s true, and these anti-Christians have affected most of us in a terrible way at one time or other. These people are people we love and people who love us. Those I am speaking of are those who convince us that it’s OK to compromise. I’m also speaking about those people in our lives who convince us to tone down the talk about Jesus and who make us feel guilty or extreme if we live by scripture and follow the Word of God for all we are worth. In reality they convince us that it’s normal and proper to not “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37)

How many of us were once on fire for God and refused to compromise what we believed, only to have our resolve chipped away by “well intentioned” others, who convinced us to “tone it down.” Some of us never had the chance to live uncompromised lives; we may have lived in a compromised position, around compromised Christians, our entire Christian walk. If we fall into either group it’s time for us to turn around and start living lives of uncompromised purity and righteousness. No matter what the anti-Christians and the world have convinced us of, Christ still calls us to a different standard.

We live in a world where Christians are taught early not to be dogmatic about their beliefs, because it may offend others. We feel embarrassed about telling others about Jesus. We feel that it is improper to tell others that He is the only way and the Hell awaits those who do not believe in Him. Christians explain that they do not witness to unbelievers because they “do not feel led to.” The Holy Spirit of God did not stop them from witnessing, what stopped them was the cowardice that is born from compromise and complacency. Compromise broke their will and complacency sapped them of their boldness.

Christians have been taught that it’s OK to walk with one foot in the world. Many of us know Christians who compromise themselves, in small ways, to save or make some amount of money. We know those who spend more time watching world events on the news, playing video games or being entertained by sports than they do praying or reading God’s Word. We see our Christian brothers covering themselves with tattoos, and our Christian sisters wearing cloths designed to highlight their sexual parts. To many Christians this is perfectly normal and acceptable. Anti-Christians have convinced them, in conversation and by example, that these things are quite acceptable.

These or other compromises are not acceptable, except by the world. Christians must redefine what is acceptable and what is not. Many of us define what is acceptable by whether or not it is sinful, or whether or not we will get caught. That is legalism. Some allow modern culture to define what is right or wrong. Fear of being unacceptable to friends and the world motivate us. That is worldliness.

To us Christians those things that are acceptable should be those things that bring glory to God. Acceptable things are those things that we know would please God and best represent the nature of God. Our obedience should come from love and not fear of reprisal.

God loves us as we are. He loves us though we are still sinners; God’s love for us is not in question. The questions are these. Do we love God as He loves us? Have we been convinced to love both Him and the world? Are we convinced that we must live our lives for our own comfort, our own self-image and our own sake? For whose or what’s sake do we make our choices?

We must live our lives and make our choices only for the honor of His name. We must die to the expectations of the anti-Christians and the world, and we must begin to live for the sake of His name. What we do to our bodies, what we watch and listen to, what we say and do; these things all represent Christ to every one who sees us.

Spiritual Maturity

I was speaking to a young man, who I admire and love, the other day when he said something that was startling to me. He told that he had gone to his friend’s church and he said something to the effect that the Spirit wasn’t there. I took what he said to mean that the Holy Spirit was not present at his friend’s church, at least not as powerfully as He is at this young man’s church.

In the past I have been associated with, and for a while, I was taught in the same “belief system” that the young man is now in. It is common to hear those in that “belief system” to say things like “I went this or that church and I didn’t feel the Spirit there” “that church doesn’t have the Spirit” or “We didn’t feel the Spirit when we sang in that church.”

In reality what is being said is “our church is Spiritually superior to those other churches”
and “that other church does not give me an emotional high like mine does.” I have two things to say to this.

First, Jesus and His Spirit are wherever two or three are gathered. Our faith tells us this is true. Even though we never see the Spirit or Jesus we know that they exist, by our faith. Even though the music might be the old songs our grandparent listened to and do not stir us up, our faith should tell us that God is among the body of believers that we are with. The person who wrote Hebrews wrote, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” We need to understand that the certainty of our hope is not in what we see or feel, but in the promises of God. Jesus does show up because a certain kind of music is played or clothes are worn.

The second point I would like to make is about the similarities between us thinking, “our church is spiritually superior to that church” and the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee did not know the heart or life of the tax collector and judged on what he saw and felt about the man. Another similarity is the Pharisee lacked true godly humility and the way he judged the tax collector was based in pride.

If a church or a body of believers has doctrine or teaches things that are against scripture then we must speak out against those things. But, if a church’s music and services are different than what we are accustomed to and they don’t evoke the same emotion and feelings that we are accustomed to, we need to understand that they are not wrong. They are only different. Being different is not wrong. Understanding this and accepting our brothers and sisters who are different is a sign of our Spiritual growth and our Christian maturity.

Peace, Steve

“Jesus told a story to some people who thought they were better than others and who looked down on everyone else:

Two men went into the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood over by himself and prayed, “God, I thank you that I am not greedy, dishonest, and unfaithful in marriage like other people. And I am really glad that I am not like that tax collector over there. I go without eating for two days a week, and I give you one tenth of all I earn.” The tax collector stood off at a distance and did not think he was good enough even to look up toward heaven. He was so sorry for what he had done that he pounded his chest and prayed, “God, have pity on me! I am such a sinner.” Then Jesus said, “When the two men went home, it was the tax collector and not the Pharisee who was pleasing to God. If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.”

Luke 18:9-14
