NEW WORLD RELIGION
Satan, the “author of confusion”, has been busy laying down a barrage of religious flak since time began. His purpose is to confuse the enemy. We are the enemy. In our quest to find God, we must feel our way through a smoke screen of religious distraction designed by the enemy to prevent us from discovering God. If he can keep us bewildered, stumbling through religions that only lead to him, he can defeat us.
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils,
and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
- I Corinthians 10:20
“The father of lies” says that all religions are different paths leading to god. What he usually does not tell you is that he is that god. Religion is a poor imitation of and a poor substitute for a genuine relationship with God. There is but one road that leads to the true God. But if you are always engaged in a “Babel” of religious confusion you will never find Him.
…when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart
was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this
cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did
change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors
of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
- Romans 1:21-32
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
- Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me.
- John 14:6
God has revealed Himself to us through His Son Jesus Christ. In order to enter into a relationship with God you must first come in the right “way.” By the common definition, “religion” has nothing whatsoever to do with an honest right relationship with God. God is not accessed by rituals, rites, ceremonies or symbols. No rosary, cross, steeple or goddess can bring you close to Him. Our’s is the God of the temple of the heart.
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.
- James 1:27
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
- John 4:23-24
New world religion is not new. It is as ancient as the fall of Lucifer and was the cause of the fall of man in the garden of Eden.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
- Isaiah 14:12
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
- Genesis 3:4
