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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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)
