Religion Is The Worst Thing That Ever Happened

Matthew 6:7, “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”

Matthew 15:7-9, “Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

Mark 7:6-9, “He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”

The Holy Bible teaches that religion is a dangerous thing! Our text passages of Scripture plainly reveal that religion can become corrupt, vain and deadly in the wrong hands. In Matthew 6:8 we learn that HEATHENS can pray, superficially appearing as God's children, but in actuality are children of the Devil practicing false religion.

In the past I have considered the heresy of Calvinism (aka, Lordship Salvation) merely a false doctrine, but it has exploded into a religion in the United States. I love this helpful quote from Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, explaining what Lordship Salvation is:

“Lordship Salvation is the unsupportable and unbiblical belief that the performance of good works, the promise of good works, or the evidence of good works, must accompany faith in Christ to establish or provide evidence that such faith has resulted in eternal life.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold (Jesus versus John MacArthur)

Sadly, the biggest offenders are Baptist churches, which have fallen away from THE TRUTH. I'm talking about the deadly cult at Bob Jones University (BJU) today, which has become a demonic cesspool of deadly Calvinist doctrine and Satanic deceit. Last I checked, there are about 75 different branches of Baptists in the United States. Some of them even deny Jesus' deity, go figure! Sadly, most Baptist churches have succumbed to Satan's lie of Calvinism, which has reached the tipping point in 2022 in the apostate Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The SBC has twice now revised their own Bible, producing a damnable text based upon Westcott and Hort's perverse Greek. To HELL with the Southern Baptist Convention and their 45,000 corrupt and complicit churches!!! No pastor and church that is right with God would remain in that cesspool of iniquity! The SBC is of the Devil. J.D. Greear (their new SBC chairman) openly endorses the LGBTQ community.) God's curse is upon the SBC!!!

Dear reader, religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this world! The Bible has very little good to speak about religion. If you missed it, please go back and read our text passages of Scriptures. In nearly every case of existing religions around the world (about 4,000 the last I checked), nearly all of them elevate MAN'S COMMANDMENTS over the inspired WORDS OF GOD. Mark 7:9, “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Manmade tradition is at the core of 99% of the world's religions. Sadly, as I have already mentioned, even most of our once trustworthy Baptist churches have now become corrupted by Satan.

False religion is how a pervert named Warren Jeffs of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS Mormons), was able to con 78 women into marrying him. At least 24 of those wives were underaged girls when Jeffs violated them. When scrutiny heightened in Arizona and Utah against Warren Jeffs alleged criminal activities, he fled to the state of Texas. Unbelievably, in Texas Jeffs used Mormon money to build a so-called Holy Temple of Mormonism, in which he sexually assaults a 12-year-old girl, and records the entire crime. What an idiot! Jeffs belongs in an episode of the world's dumbest criminals!!!

With disgust, in the now made public recordings, you can literally hear Mormon elder Warren Jeffs breathing heavy as he violates the little girl, telling her that he is doing it: “in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This is religion folks!!! Why doesn't the government go after the entire Mormon cult? Jeff's father married several dozen women himself, many of which his biological son Warren remarried when he Dad died and went to Hell forever. Mormonism is, in all its  entirety, of the Devil. It is by very nature a sex cult. Just go read their official dogma! I mean no unkindness to anyone, truly, but if you follow the religious lies of Mormonism, you will spend eternity burning in the fires of Hell.

Look at the Heaven's Gate cult in California. One nutcase by using religious indoctrination was able to successfully convince 41 people to take their own lives. This shows us the frightening power of religious brainwashing!!! I am sickened to know that there are 15 million Mormons in the world. It sickens me to know that there are over ONE BILLION hellbound Roman Catholics, who've all been lied to to believe that some sinful priest, who dresses like a woman, but tells people to call him “Father,” can absolve their sins. NO PRIEST, POPE OR PASTOR CANNOT FORGIVE ANYONE'S SINS!!! Only God can forgive sins. The Lutherans erroneously believe that their pastors have God's power to forgive people's sins. NO THEY DON'T!!! Lutheran pastors are LIARS!!!

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

The Devil is a beautiful liar! Satan knows that the best place to hide a lie is between two truths. The half-truth is the most effective form of deception, because in part it can be defended with incontestable logic. This is what makes false religion so dangerous, because its damnable lies are surrounded and protected by religious truths, making it's spiderweb of deceit even more deadly and unsuspecting to vulnerable passing prey.

Dear friend, I could go on writing this one blog for hours, expounding you in the bizarre and insane world of false religion. Years ago I made my new favorite Bible verse Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” The reason why people foolishly join a cult like the Jehovah's Witnesses or Seventh-Day Adventists is because they are deceived by the Devil (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4, 13-15). Jesus warned us that the way unto life is narrow, and the highway to Hell broad, because FALSE PROPHETS appear as sheep to deceive their prey (Matthew 7:13-15). Now you know why I love Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Please don't allow yourself to be deceived friend. Please use and trust ONLY the inspired King James Bible. Please believe only what you can PROVE with the Holy Scriptures. You cannot backup the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation with the King James Bible. No you cannot! All you can do, at very best, is cite obscure passages of Scripture, wresting (twisting) them out of context in a foolish lame attempt to bolster up your strawman perverse doctrine. Lordship Salvation is of the Devil, which teaches that more than childlike faith is required to be saved. 

In addition, proponents of Lordship Salvation (which is actually the Devil's Calvinism repackaged) says you must surrender all to Christ, turn away from your sinful lifestyle, follow Jesus as “Lord” of your life no matter what the cost, run the Christian race faithfully to the end, invite Christ into your life, repent (turn) from your sinful ways, count the cost and pay the price, give up control of your life to Jesus, and a bunch of other junk theology no found in the Holy Bible. How is any of that a free gift? Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” This is perhaps the most ignored Bible verse!

If we take the preceding Scripture passage at face value, then NONE of all those extra things that I just listed, can be required of a lost sinner to obtain eternal life. Eternal life is the free gift of God, which a needy sinner receives by faith, by simply receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for their sins, and believing that Jesus after being buried resurrected from the dead three days later. This is The Gospel, that is, The Good News, by which we are saved if we BELIUEVE IT (1st Corinthians 15:1-6; Romans 1:16).

Please don't let religion mess with your head. Many people suffer from Religious Scrupulosity, which is where we feel guilty, confusion or emotions because of religion. What saith the Scripture? ...

Psalms 1:1-5, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”

Dear reader, if you will give God your HEART, He will comb the kinks out of your HEAD! Search the Scriptures Jesus commanded in John 5:39.
