In the process of interviewing some respondents regarding the Fasting of TPM, one thing that became very evident is that they are doing it to become better than the Pharisees. They do this not knowing what Jesus said. Therefore, they end up becoming extreme Pharisees. These extreme Pharisees can also be called the TPM Pharisees.

The TPM Clergy has their brains wired in such a way that they are always in a competitive mentality. I doubt if they have gotten it from the Indian education system. They always want to compare themselves with others. That is the reason which makes them say that they are the BEST CHURCH. Such a disposition is Foolishness according to the scripture.

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. 2 Cor 10:12.

Steps to becoming a Pharisee

TPM Clergy’s twisted brain does not know what the simple Tax collector knew. There are a total of 613 laws in the Old Testament. These laws were given with the purpose that we realize it is impossible for us to fulfil God’s law in our Flesh.  But well, the Pharisees had different plans. They wanted to challenge God. They wanted to prove that they can fulfil all of those 613. In reality what they did is that they put a checklist for people to follow. This is very much like the quality assurance of a manufacturing unit.

Exceeding the Righteousness of the TPM PhariseeWhen the law is followed without the Spirit, you are in violation of that law.  What you have, is an external covering without its core or a corrupted core.

Let me cite an example with the Sabbath Commandment.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.    Exodus 20:8-11

When you interpret the above on a technical basis, without the spirit, you will exactly interpret as the Pharisees did.

But when you understand the commandment with the true Spirit, you will understand that the Technicality is not the only consideration.

One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[a] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?” And they had nothing to say.   Luke 14:1-6

Pharisees never needed a saviour. The TPM Pharisees also don’t need one. They know that they can live and justify themselves before God by their works of self-righteousness.

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.  Luke 5:32

The Making of a TPM Pharisee

If following the requirements of God’s law is like lifting a sack of wt 500Kg Gold, The Pharisees were lifting a sack with 500Kg of Sand. But What TPM does is labelling a sack as 550 KG Gold and filling it with paper inside and showing to the world that they have lifted 550 KG of Gold.

The Pharisees at least followed those laws in the Old Testament according to the letters.  If you follow the Law in the letter without the Spirit, you are just lifting up a sack of Sand.

And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the [a]Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.  2 Cor 3:4-6

The Purpose of the Law was not for us to technically follow it but to understand that we are incapable to meet God’s Righteousness. The Law will make us understand that we need a Saviour.

Exceeding the Righteousness of the TPM Pharisee
TPM Pharisees

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.  Gal 3:24

 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c]And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:2-4

TPM’s Doctrine in a Nutshell

What TPM Pastors does is that they piggyback on Christ’s Righteousness and selectively implement Old Testament Mandates to bring out a Hybrid. That is why TPM Believers do not know what is salvation. For them, Salvation is following their Pastor’s checklist which comes in different forms of sermons. Some of the requirements of TPM’s Salvation is as follows

  • Believe in Their Divine Healing Doctrine
  • Obeying their Clergy
  • Wearing White Dress always
  • Not missing out on any meetings or conventions
  • Regularly Giving of monetary Tithe
  • Labouring for different conventions

With mundane lists like the above, you should not be surprised that an average TPM believer does not know what is the Salvation that Christ Gives.

Exceeding the Righteousness of the Pharisee

When Jesus said that to enter the kingdom of Heaven we need to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisee, TPM’s twist took even that in its stride.

For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5:20

Jesus knew that the Pharisees were taking up Sand instead of Gold. What TPM Pastors understood was to increase the weight of Sand.

There is only one way we can attain the Gold Standard of God and that is through Christ. Nothing can replace that Gold Standard.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Cor 5:21

Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness Romans 10:3

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

TPM Derives its doctrine of exceeding the righteousness of Pharisee from the following scripture.

To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

Luke 18:9-12

Exceeding the Righteousness of the TPM Pharisee
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

That is why TPM Pastors insist on Fasting 3 or more days and giving 20% monetary tithe to be above the Pharisees. In the process, they consider all others as degraded people.  I still am clueless why they could not read the two following verses written just below it and is part of the same parable.

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”  Luke 18:13-14

The Proud Pharisee cannot realize what the Tax Collector realised. The Pharisee was full of himself whereas the tax collector had nothing to boast.

Conclusion

Romans 10:5 says that whoever follows the law of Moses will live by that.  There was only one person who fulfilled the Law of Moses in its entirety. He came to fulfil it and not abolish the Law.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2pk8SkrYyY

If we also live in the same spirit as Jesus, we will continue to fulfil the Law the same way Jesus showed us.

  • He showed us that the Good Samaritan had that Spirit which the Levite and the Priest who abided by the literal law did not have.
  • He Showed us the same Spirit in the Shepherd who went after the one sheep, leaving the 99
  • He showed the same spirit when he confronted the money changers who facilitated the Temple tithe.
  • Many More

But we also have another choice. That is the way of the Pharisees. We can go after the letter of the law and ignore the spirit of the Law. The choice is yours. You can become a TPM Minister or the Tax Collector in the parable.

  1. This is exactly what is being preached nowadays vehemently by all young preachers in TPM.

    Believe in Their Divine Healing Doctrine
    Obeying their Clergy
    Wearing White Dress always
    Not missing out on any meetings or conventions
    Regularly Giving of monetary Tithe
    Labouring for different conventions

    At the same time, we do hear prophesies also coming out from both kids, youth and adults that many will fall away these days. I am the Lord who have appointed the ministers and do not speak evil of them.

    • Dear Stephen Samuel,
      I know an X TPM minister who was taking care of Pr Manoharan whenever he visits Kottarakkara. He told me many times that Pr Manoharan told him not to give too much emphasis on TPM Zion doctrine which does not have any scriptural base. He further told me since he was following the advices of Pr Manoharan, he could adjust to new environment without much difficult unlike other X TPM minsters.

      This Zion doctrine also is an exceeding the righteousness of TPM Pharisees.

      • TPM doctrine is luciferian according to scriptures.

        Consider the following:
        Exclusivity in communion.
        Zion agenda.
        No other churches can… doctrine.
        Marketing gimmicks of material blessings through tithing or curses for non compliance.
        It leaves mental and emotional footprints on members who try to quit/reason.

        I know an aged lady who is an ex TPM but her daughter attends the church… she has been actively encouraged by the clergy not to emotionally/financially support her mother, but to do so with conditions, in a way in which the mother can once again become a regular church goer.

        (Background: the aged aunty had in the 80’s itself received a revelation not to give tithes as a taxation, but out of generosity… this did not go down well with the clergy who tolerated her for decades… now she is old and helpless and she is made to humbly request her daughter for help from time to time)

        I as an x TPMer was asked to intervene and put sense to the daughter’s head… she says I know it’s incorrect, but they keep telling me that taking care of parents is compulsory only if they are saved (TPM version of being saved)… there’s no binding on taking care of those who fell from grace (left the church). She gave me a list of verses so fluently that I knew she was parroting what the local mafia in Bangalore have fed her. Irrelevant verses like Abram leaving his father’s house etc (according to them Abram threatened to leave his house and that forced his immediate family to join him). Also verses like I will come to turn family member against the other (Matt 10.35) are used as their refutations.

        I am writing these details so that both of them can read this comment and understand how seriously flawed TPM’s marketing ethics is.

        If YOU are reading this: Please know that taking care of your own… especially parents is not just a Biblical duty but also the law of the land.

        (For those who think I am slandering in disguise, note that God has not forsaken that lady but has often used Hindu neighbors to help her graciously)

        • OMG ! What a display of wickedness by people who call themselves servants of God. It is a sure sign that their conscience has been seared as if with hot iron rod. Sister if you reading this please go through clear scriptures below, instead of human interpretation of what is not clearly written in scriptures.

          Mathew 7;12
          Moses said ‘honour your father and mother’
          But you (Pharisees) teach people to tell to their parents, all that I can help you is consecrated (corban-sacrificed) to God.
          You (Pharisees) no longer suffer him to do anything for his father and mother. .

          I Timothy 5:4 (paraphrased).
          Honour widows. If a widow has children or grandchildren, then let the children first show godliness and pity to their own family, to return to parents the goodness they did while children were young. This is pleasing in sight of God.

  2. Eagle’s Eye
    CONGRATULATIONS to ADMIN and his TEAM in bringing out the 260 th EPISODE in which another fraud is seen.The traditional thinking of TPM centre incharges view on the righteousness of their flock as though it exceeds the biblical PHARISEES is clearly exposed. For example the present incharge of of TIRUPATHI centre -PRASADARAO upholds the view expressed in this EPISODE . @”That is why TPM Pastors insist on Fasting 3 or more days and giving 20% monetary tithe to be above the Pharisees. In the process, they consider all others as degraded people”……..To this effect I strongly recommend the viewers and readers of this site to please ciick Vlogs displayed on the top right hand corner and get a valuable inputs. One can never get these inputs from anywhere else.One must be aware by keenly watching those 3 VIDEO clipping on : SECRET HISTORY OF TPM, TPM & THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST,THE GOLDEN CALF OF TPM. Or else prepare to get duped by this CULT. By my repeated voluntary participation in QUIZ portion introduced by ADMIN, I thoroughly got hold of certain factual information of the founder CPM- Pas. Paul Ramankutty.TPM press trust removes factual information from his auto biography and prints his life story!. For ever are we destined to be destroyed by this CULT group called with different names like TPM/CPM/NTC/NCTC/UPC spread around 44 countries in the globe. Just look at their possession of their lands and huge building constructions worth Rs 2600 crores! ( in my view it is only in the lower scale).By conducting fake in house audit reports, the currency notes would be put into flames.Oh what a treacherous act it is!It amounts treason. ”My people are destroyed because for lack of knowledge” says HOSEA 4:6. Why do n’t we equip ourselves with the knowledge being FREELY provided by ADMIN. I once again salute ADMIN for bringing the facts into light.

  3. Eagle’s Eye
    (My earlier draft was slipped away. to you / or )am continuing……..At that time there was no guts to prevent him not to say contradict the existing TPMs’ theory about Zion & NJ. The canard has been slowly spreading all around the 44 Nations ever since from those days. So by now that SOGs who openly defied the order must have been kicked out of their flock. Or else that centre ASST who had been with Shyam Sundar must have left the ministry by then. There was no trace of him since then.

  4. Eagle’ Eye
    @In reality what they did is that they put a checklist for people to follow. This is very much like the quality assurance of a manufacturing unit.” Very relevant. i can EMPATHIZE the beautiful point mentioned by ADMIN here. Yeah, the Q A ( quality assurance) has got one more wing called QC( quality control) in the typical manufacturing plant while inspecting the finished product the QC department simply follows the design drawing and its parameters. If there are any dimensional discrepancy QC has got every right to reject component. In that event, designer will come into play , he would enhance his own design parameters so as to accommodate the manufacturing deviations.Then it will be again referred to QC for its final acceptance. QC will raise a note called — NCR( non conformance report). Designer will sign on that.( nobody is allowed to sign except the Designer). Like that the process goes on for these worldly systems and procedures. But in the spiritual realm the norms will be much more stringent who knows.For example the Bible says in Matthew 5:48 . Here in the spiritual realm ,JESUS is our Designer/ our Creator. Bible is our DESIGN DOCUMENT.
    Curiously TPM Clergy is usurping the DESIGNER and the DESIGN DOCUMENT too by spreading their false theories /canards like DDT, so on so forth that this site has been exposing ever since 12 th OCTOBER 2016. The latest theory is SUN and the CORONA rings ( layers of the atmosphere) spread by MTT. ( as already reported in these columns). TPMites ,be watchful and be alert. David became an overcomer over Goliath. who has spread his net in his convenient places in the world over.Goliath will not go to difficult terrains. God is watching all his moves!

  5. Eagle’s Eye,
    By virtue of feeding the highly relevant infrn to all the spiritual saints /giants, ADMIN is bearing the burden of many ,in the sense that EMPATHY factor comes into play. I do not how many are aware of this fact I do not know—that the very first episode published in this site was on 12 OCT’16. By 12 OCT ’18 , it has successfully sailed through these by bearing the reproaches of countess many staunch TPMites etc etc….i.e for 730 days Add to these 67 days till date .You get 797 days. Then divide it by 260. ( number of EPISODES ) You get a figure 3.065. This is a very EYE CATCHING FIGURE.indeed. Have you ever thought about it? For every 3 days this site presents a new EPISODE. , with a lot of animations mixed into it, relevant audio visual clippings were to be chosen from the CONVENTION SPEAKERS/ INTRN YOUTH CAMP. ,a stupendous task really. A highly commendable job . Simply amazing indeed. I DO NOT REMEMBER TO HAVE SEEN ANY KIND THIS SIMILAR SITE LIKE THIS . APOLOGETICS is a term used for convincing with proper ‘REASONING ‘ This site is discharging the same job like APOLOGETICS. For doing this thankless / high risk job, ADMIN needs to muster the strength and power the ALMIGHTY. Seek the like minded /spiritual hungry TEAM MATES to help meet this hectic schedule . If one converts that FIGURE into Hrs, it comes to 72 hrs. That means the ADMIN is working on a hourly basis! Otherwise this 3.065 FIGURE would not have been achieved. ADMIN is bearing the typical burden of Jesus. In Isaiah 53:12 last portion, one word was used—INTERCESSION. The Bible pundit say , that is the same word used for ‘EMPATHY’ .—-” Wearing the shoes of others.” The Lord attaches more importance to the INTERCESSORY PRAYERS than the ordinary prayers. Where is the proof? The above verse itself is the proof An eternal reward is surely waiting for ADMIN and his TEAM. So therefore all TPMites have to understand this ,instead of criticizing this site, come with a biblical answer to all the issues raised in this site. That is the best solution for you.

    I was reading the comment from Br. Franklin about Pr Manoharan’s observation on TPM Zion doctrine.Suddenly I wanted to compliment him and I was to ready to send a supplement to his comments. The devil knew it that I was going to share my experience with the vast reader community. It played a trick to disturb my system. As I was drafting the matter, suddenly my lap top system went hay wire- THE SCREEN WENT TOPSY TURVY. —what ever matter I typed, got disappeared. That was the very fine trick played by the devil.I thought the matter was already got transmitted to ADMIN system. Then I continued thus.. I copy pasted this same matter appeared in the comments section….@ (My earlier draft was slipped away. to you ) I am continuing…XXXXX…..At that time there was no guts to prevent him not to say /contradict the existing TPMs’ theory about Zion & NJ. The canard has been slowly spreading all around to the 44 Nations ever since from those days. So by now that SOGs who openly defied the order must have been kicked out of their flock. Or else that centre ASST who had been with Shyam Sundar must have left the ministry by then. There was no trace of him since then.–“/////////////////So my whole matter was put into shambles and it was kept in a disjointed position so that the readers would never understand it.That was why since 12 hours, it has got no hits from the readers. Now the previous matter was this. XXXXX Way back in early 2000 yr or mid 2000 yr I attended NAGPUR Convention when Shyam Sundar was freshly appointed as centre in charge, and he had a centre ASST by name ……… I forgot his name. But I do remember his complexion, a dark coloured SOG, from TAMILNADU.. While he was leading one of the convention messages, he openly declaring to the audience ,
    that there was no ZION for SOG s nor there was any separate NEW JERUSALEM for believers! So almost 18/19 years ago this false propaganda was spread by this CULT group. But within the house God raised that SOG, and nullified that false theory. Probably some of the old TPMites may be able to recall that SOG ‘s name. Now you can connect to my earlier matter that I copy pasted it.

      • How many of your white clad frauds’s eyes were plucked so far for all the illegitimate. illogical, immoral. promiscuous acts inside fake (faith) homes?

      • @Hope,

        The admin will see even after his eyes are plucked out as he is a child of God.

        What about you? God has given you eyes but you stay blind because you worship TPM’s gods who are liars.

        Open your eyes and read these articles and see lest you and your family will end up in eternal darkness. There is still Hope for you but if you chose to remain in TPM’s darkness your end will be Hopeless.

        Hoping that Hope will hopefully see The Light and be saved and truly live in Hope.

      • Dear Hope
        Sad to say that your name has nothing to do with your life & conduct. You are truly a hopeless case. This kind of threat will have no effect on people who trust God but it will certainly have strong effect on people like you because your God is TPM & it’s white clad frauds. Don’t try to intimidate us by such kind of Hollow threats.

  7. Eagle’s Eye
    As I did correctly surmise many times that countess souls have been regularly
    watching and secretly surfing this site and at the same time some highly immature souls also must be surfing this site not knowing how to ANSWER the question that why should have their faith on Jesus.They do n’t have any “REASON’ for their faith.What business have they got to send such offensive mail comments if they do not understand the very intent and purpose of this site ?The reason is obvious . They ‘ve got no proper understanding of the issues raised,and they only know how to do and act like a parrot .There’s’ no use to keep such offensive attitude. Come with a “REASON”.But it hardly matters for us , the word of God encourages us,thus,
    ” IF YE BE REPROACHED FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST,HAPPY ARE YE,FOR THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD RESTETH UPON YOU; ON THEIR PART HE IS EVIL SPOKEN OF , BUT ON YOUR PART HE IS GLORIFIED” (1 PETER 4: 14).
    The slanderer should know that mere slandering without proper reasoning does not help solve any problem since devil also has been closely watching and has
    been trying all the tricks of his trade to disturb this site since more than 50 months but of no avail.Let the slanderer should understand that this site is not meant for mud slinging.

  8. Eagle’s Eye,
    To the slanderer I would like to call him as “Friend” . I would like to take a leaf out Jesus teachings that He addresses Judas Iscariot as ‘FRIEND’ ( Matthew 26:50) inspite of knowing his plot of handing Him over to the chief priests for the paltry sum of 30 silver coins . If my friend wishes to make witchcraft as he claimed in his mail comment,let him go ahead .’The Lord is my Shepherd–I shall not want’ will come into play. Yes ,Friend go ahead.Absolutely there is no animosity towards you. Yes go ahead.

  9. Indirectly this site is failing in its objective. This site which is trying to condemn the specific group by generalizing the information they’ve got on the contrary is sanctifying the sincere truth seekers to exalt Jesus alone and getting rid of any wrong understandings and unneeded zealot kind of behaviors. Thank you for all critiques. Critics are the brushers/washers of noble man’s clothes. I praise God for this site.

    • Yes Mr. Anonymous, you are absolutely right – the pig will not feel comfortable in a palace, it needs the stench of the pig sty so badly that it will sanctify itself more intensely in the filthy doctrines of TPM/NTC/NCPC.

      Only God can have mercy on you and open your eyes to The Truth.
