Religion's Fundamental weakness.


I believe that the fundamental weakness of the religious system, thus the weakness of the segregated denominated church system, is that it operates and patterns itself after the worldly system’s way of getting things done.

It is hierarchical in structure, positions are voted on, it is man headed, man led, man fed with man-made doctrines and teachings, man controlled and man manipulated. Most aspects of what is done within the religious denominated system is man’s doing. The religious traditions, rules, regulations and practices are man initiated and man ordained. Whatever takes place has to be sanctioned or rejected by man. The hierarchical leadership compromises scriptural truth in order to keep the people in subjection to and dependent on the religious system for their spiritual food in order to nourish the fleshly appetite of the religious system.

The minds of the people within religion are minded that way and I believe that God has given them over to their religious mindedness. Yet God ever so gently and lovingly brings them truth, only to have them reject that truth due to their religious mindedness that is programmed with deception but accepted by  them as truth.

There are many in religion who truly love God, but they cannot find true satisfaction in the traditional religious system. Many are growing weary of the facade but they seem to know of no other way.

I believe God’s heart is grieved with the way man has usurped the authority of Jesus Christ and robbed Him of His Lordship in the midst of His people.

    There is coming a time very soon where there will be only two churches. The church of Christ and the church of Antichrist. We see the formation of this world church shaping up now with all this cry for unity, let's all get together as one regardless of what you believe.

    In 2 Thes. Paul warns about those who would follow the lawless one.

    Then Christ in His revelation to John in Revelation 14:12 describes His church in last days. Here is what He says:

    12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

    I like way New International Version puts it:

    12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.

    In the not too distant future you will know who is following religion and who is following Christ. There is coming a one world church system headed by antichrist and his false prophet.

    Many in our denominations who are not following Christ will join this church as the antichrist preaches lawlessness.

    But those in the true church will heed the call of God when He says come out of her my people and do not receive the plagues that will be poured out upon her.

    You will know those in the true church because they will be keeping the commandments of Christ and the faith of Jesus.(Rev. 14:12)

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
