As you know a couple of weeks back, the
Washington National Cathedral suffered earthquake damage. This weekend the
world will be able to view what the “Quakes Cracks” have exposed—an audience
that perfectly pictures and illustrates the religions of the world left behind
after Christ raptures His true church. In an article on Fox News titled, Evangelicals
Left Off National Cathedral 9/11 Program the true church, “Evangelicals”
are not invited. Interesting! The event will feature the dean of the Cathedral, the Bishop of Washington, a rabbi, Buddhist nun and incarnate lama, a Hindu priest, the president of the Islamic Society of North America and a Muslim musician. This is actually good news in that true Christianity is not being invited to mix with false religion! It is also just exactly
what the Scriptures indicate will happen in the last days.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV)
The WNC is an
Episcopal gathering of individuals who ascribe to exactly what Paul warns
Timothy of happening, especially in these final days before the Lord calls His
true and faithful believer’s home. They are not holding to the truth of
Scripture. The world will not accept this message because it draws a line in
the sand between a true Christian believer who affirms the first commandment as
the Lord wrote it in the stone tablet with His own finger, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out
of the house of slavery. You shall have
no other gods before me.” Exodus
20:2-3 (ESV), and the
professing individual who sees all roads leading to Rome.
I am glad that a gathering of such would exclude those who hold that, “there is only one way to heaven” and the
path is through Jesus Christ alone
and no other. Surely Jesus is the most loved and most hated on the earth! By
His own words He would be excluded from this gathering! The apostle Thomas is
recorded as asking the following:
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:5-6
The world seethes, “Who does that Jesus think He is anyway?” To which a
true believer, faithful to the end, will state, “The one and only Son of the
Living God!”
The religions of the world want to get to Jesus’ heaven but they want to
do it on their terms, that is choosing their way or their god to follow, and
trust me there are so many false religions in the world it befuddles the mind.
But in the end, there is only one Person who has identified with humanity in
our weaknesses, and then conquered our greatest enemy, death, and that is Jesus
Christ, the Messiah—Savior of the world!. It is only with the most tenderness of
mercies that I write the things. My heart longs for the eyes of humanity to be
opened that they may not suffer the demise awaiting the demonic hordes who have
delivered to mankind so many false paths to follow, Is. 14:9.
Jesus came that all of humanity might have life. The world and demonic
spirits have mangled the truth of Scripture, in order to confuse us all of the
one true Light of the World, Jesus. They have gone so far as to only pick and
choose the teachings of Christ that fit their lifestyle, and those that make
room for other gods, choosing to eliminate His other teachings as untrue. We
cannot take away or add to the Scripture. Can worldly logic untangle spiritual
truth? No way! Only the spiritual can understand the spiritual. Do not just
take my word for it, the Bible states:
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:14-16
It is no secret
that this synthesis of Christianity with the other religions of the world and
the other paths to God is from the Father of Lies, Satan. In the Old Testament,
it is called spiritual adultery. It is exactly the reason that God continually
disciplined the Israelite's in the Promised Land:
And if you forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.
Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 8:19-20
It is why the
Southern Kingdom of Judah fell to Babylon in 606-586 B.C. Israel was God’s
chosen people and were called to be separate from all of the spiritual cultures
and demonically inspired worship of other gods they adored, Lev. 20:26; 1 Kings
8:53; Ezra 10:11; Jer. 5:7; 2 Cor. 6:17. God’s message of hope and salvation was
never to be blurred in the way it was then and the way it is now.
Jesus is still
the only way to heaven and the only way to know that is to read the Scriptures
yourself. If you have made it this far in this message, then I plead with you,
read the Scriptures for yourself. Throw out all of your preconceived ideas and
allow the Scripture to speak. No other religion promises you eternal life on
the merit of another, but true Christianity. All others are just ladders with rotting
rungs. You will never be able to build up yourself as good enough to enter
heavens gates without the shed blood of Jesus forgiving you of your sin. The
gospel message is so simple, Jesus will forgive all your sin, if you will come
to Him in prayer and humbly confess your unworthiness of heaven and your
sinfulness. You then must promise to take Him as the sole redeemer and Lord of
your life and choose to worship Him alone, Rom. 10:9-10. He promises that He
will then cover you with His righteousness and take away your sin, 2Cor. 5:21. It
what we call, the “Substitutionary Death and Life of Christ.” He died for you,
then defeated death with His life, that you may live for Him.
The time has to
come for you to make a truthful decision concerning Christ. You can either
reject Him or accept Him, but you can never dilute Him with the other false religions
of the world. Dilution is not acceptance. Synthesis is not acceptance.
One last thought,
you can destroy the Bible, you can say it was just the erratic teachings of crazed
and disparate men and women, you can even say Jesus is a liar, but the one
thing you will never ever be able to do is destroy the true Words of God.
You see, there is more than one thing that differentiates the true believer in
Christ from all other religion and that is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
and His ministry in our lives. If all the Bibles in the world, all the printing
presses, templates, manuscripts used to print the Scripture, and publishing
houses were to be gathered up into one large trash heap and set on fire, you
still could not destroy the Words of Christ—He lives in our hearts. The
ministry of the Holy Spirit is to bring to remembrance the teachings of Jesus:
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. John 16:12-15 (ESV)
It is from the
indwelling Holy Spirit that I write these things to you this day. Do not fall
for the syncretism of the world. Jesus is the only way to have eternal life.
God Bless
