You would no more go to the physician and expect him to place leeches on you to pull out the sickness you are experiencing than you would to walk into an Evangelical church and see a statue meant to represent Mary set in a preeminent place.
“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?” (Gal. 3:1)
There is a reason that even in this small area that my lovely wife and I reside in there are at least twenty or more churches within a very short driving distance, and it is not because the Word of God is divided improperly alone, it is because some have been bewitched, led astray into believing the doctrines of devils. I would not attempt to guess how many churches today across the planet could actually be considered houses of worship, but I can in all assuredness state this fact, they are few in number.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matt. 7:14)
Perhaps Satan’s greatest ploy was this, “If you can’t beat them, make them think you have joined them.” And he is not done yet, a one world religion is forming before our eyes, a mixture of every evil religious organization on the planet, one that if you have been blessed with Spiritual discernment, you can see the foundation that it is being built upon.
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matt. 22:39)
And if you do not love your neighbor, you will be severely punished.
“Why can’t we all just get along?”
“Live and let live.”
“All are to be accepted, and loved, just as they are without fear of being ostracized.”
This banner of love will fly over the subtitle of racism, bigotry, inclusion and enablement, and the Word of God, the Holy Bible, and those who believe in its truths, will be their target.
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2nd Tim. 4:2)
You have probably already met them, good people who believe in God, who may even profess to serve the Lord Jesus Christ who will call you judgmental when certain subjects of love are brought up, who will call you a Pharisee on the wall when Biblical truths are revealed to them that they see as contentious towards this love that is being propounded upon the masses. For them to be bewitched, deceived if you prefer, this love must be all encompassing, it must be more than the action of love, it must deceive the hearts of them to feel the emotion of love as well.
But above all, it must disregard everything that the Scriptures say about the wrath of God abiding on the wicked, about the eternal consequences of sin, in fact, sin itself must be portrayed as a hindrance to their free will. Sin must no longer exist, and so not only the Word of God must be silenced, but all those who profess the truths of it.
There is no such thing as sin, if all are loved and accepted as they are, without need of repentance.
“Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” (Psalm 94:16)
You will, I hope and pray.
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:” (2nd Tim. 2:12)
This is of course, all just a ploy of Satan, but it takes very little research to see that it is working quite well, from the myriad of churches who have decided the world offers a safer and better path than the one the Most High had set before them, to the world itself, enabling all with this false love, and doing all within their power to destroy those who can see the fallacy, the lie of that love.
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” (Mark 13:22)
The more of these truths that the Lord graciously reveals to those who seek His face, the more we begin to realize just how very few of us there are who have truly been born-again.
It is a very sad revelation.
“A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.” (Isaiah 42:3)
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” (1 Cor. 16:13)
