RIDDLES OF RELIGION: FALSE CHURCHES

RIDDLES OF RELIGION: FALSE CHURCHES 

Riddle me this…

Consider these mysteries…

Puzzles of Pentecostalism

Riddles of Religion

The church is the world

And the world is the church

The remnant are the remnant 

The elect are the elect 

No mixture in pure worship of God

No deadlier poison than in mixed multitudes

The narrow way reeks of bloodied men

The broad way is lit with appealing ambience 

Erring wayfarers are being entertained 

True pilgrims are suffering for truth’s sake

Preachers have become con artists 

Mammon has taken centre stage

“Empty your bags and bank accounts,

Jesu will double, yea multiply, the cash!”

He shed His blood for hard currency?

Blood money is it, Mr Pastor?

Blood money in your right hand

Bible merchandised in your left 

No greater con artist than this

Who cussed the fraudsters 

Has cussed their very self 

Same boat, different bait 

“You can serve God and Mammon”

“You can’t serve God without money”

“Give to Caesar what is Caesarean”

“If you don’t tithe, life will be tight”

“Engage offering to disengage suffering”

“Money is part of your salvation package”

“Jesus needs money to make any impact”

“Without money, Christ is an ineffective blob”

“Without money, it is impossible to please God”

All hail the false preachers of my generation!

All hail the religious merchants and profiteers!

Enlarge your filthy coasts, o false churches!

Stretch and break your greedy bands…

Gather; fill your big traps to overflowing…

Keep leading the lost souls, o lofty leaders

Take your captives of the souls of humanity 

You are leading people to utter damnation 

Blind leaders of blind followers…

Generation of venomous vipers…

Your fans and followers love you

They ecstatically enable your error

They fight, kill, steal to defend you

They connive and conspire by criminality 

They spy and spoil the lot of people 

They plunder to give proof to your false doctrine

They execute the vengeance for godless prayers 

Tiptoeing behind the scenes to “do and undo”

Manipulating mandates to appear authentic 

Advertising falsely to build vain credibility 

Ride on, papas; ride on, reprobates!

Take your killing and billing 

Robbing Peters to pay Paulettes

Paying Judases to betray Jesuses

Retailing Christ piecemeal daily 

Making merchandise of the gospel 

Spearheading religious institutions 

Institutions of organized iniquity 

Temples of trepidation 

Cathedrals of catastrophe

Cults of crīstendōm

You are the real enemies of Christ 

But your vanity has an expiry date

Riddle me that!

*******

Truth has been told.

The testimony of a witness.

To God be the glory.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

WORSHIP!

Image
  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship. This means, we are all naturally wired to be devoted to something or someone we reckon or perceive to be most grandiose or to be the greatest Thing or Being worthy of our keenest attention, truest affection, deepest love and highest loyalty. Everyone has something or someone they hold very dear, adore, cherish and esteem highly.  Some people, in a sense, worship or idolize the god of money, their careers, favorite celebrities, body, health, parents, romantic relationship, favorite child, cherished food, dream house, expensive jewelry, exquisite properties, prized possessions or accumulated assets.  There is that inward default faculty of Man to give reverenc

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
