Introduction
The intention of this writing is to somehow bring an understanding in a world of different opinions, where faith and beliefs are so lightly taken by man in his self-sufficiency that it seems as if God is the one who needs our help to fix what man has ruined in his own life. While man is not only using religion and politics to excuse his own actions, which is a natural reaction in man’s life, he also easily gets offended when in his rights he is told that he is wrong. The decision of thinking or believing in one’s own rights only lasts while the person is breathing, which in every generation may continue, cease, or start all over, creating with the passing of time, something that when we look back, we call that past, history.
Men create a life story that, according to their own convenience or genuine belief, almost never unites them but somehow keeps them together, believing that is unity. And if there is any agreement, it is superficial, because deep down it separates men in their doctrinal denominations and is prevented, then, from becoming one solid unified belief and faith aligned with the wish and the will of God.
This so-called religious faith in man’s knowledge and belief appropriates the right to understand God’s will as its own—an understanding that for others may appear as a contradiction. It is a controversial approach ignored by the majority of the people that divides their believing faith in the same God, which makes God appear as if He is contradicting Himself and changing His mind in terms of what race of people or what particular person has to believe in Him.
It is in the creation of denominations and religion that the gospel has been divided by man’s interpretation and beliefs in a world of spirits, a confusing world where the one who believes may believe that he has the right spirit. Man creates his own rights in a wrong understanding of what God is telling him to do or not to do, making a conclusion based not on the revelation of the Spirit but on his own deduction—and he is under a spirit of confusion. This is a deduction that goes against the wishes of the Almighty. The apostle Paul, through the Spirit, reveals God’s will when he writes, “There is one body and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.” The scripture continues, saying, “One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all” (Ephesians 4:4–6).
In short, Paul is saying to be of one mind, that is, to have the same comprehension of God in the same spirit. Put another way, it is to have one understanding of the only existing God, whose will and joy is to have us in Him as one in Christ.
God’s goal is for all believers to be as one, according to His will, and not according to man’s understanding of Him in the creation of all the existing denominations. But some of those denominationally profound religious leaders are saying, “But God is God and He can change His mind through the lives of different people who can become His prophets.” And that is true. He can change His mind to offer His love, to have mercy on the ones toward whom He wants to be merciful, and forgive anyone who comes to salvation through His love and mercy. But He cannot break His own Word about the only way to come to Him, through repentance of a life of sin, recognizing the Son of God in the flesh, and accepting salvation through the sacrifice on the cross of God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
God, the almighty Father, never said that He will send someone else to bring another gospel of salvation under any other name or denomination to divide His own will. He never said you’ll be a Presbyterian, or a Pentecostal, or a Baptist, or a Catholic, or Greek Orthodox—or that you’ll be a Muslim or a practitioner of any other religion. On the contrary, the gospel warns us of the ones who will come in His name to preach another gospel of salvation, even when that someone is one of the so-called “New Illuminati” or is any other servant calling himself an apostle or a prophet.
Many people are not paying attention to the warnings and signs spoken of in the Word of God. There is one thing in people’s lives that they don’t even realize exists when religion is mentioned: Satan’s involvement in the creation of a spiritual mirror that shows not a clear picture, but a fuzzy copy of the original that is accepted as original. Not everything that comes from above is from God, just as not everything that shines like gold is gold.
Along with what happened in the Garden of Eden when man died spiritually, that same evil in man’s new secular life brought confusion, a confusion in terms of understanding the Word and the will of God. A man who has an inspiring level of intellectual confidence but who is without God’s spiritual guidance and is under a wrong spirit of sin, a wrong vision, and wrong interpretations of the supernatural events in his life is what allows false religion to develop. A different way to believe in God results in all the different human-created denominations being deemed right among men, but they are wrong according to the only gospel of Christ.
The only way for a religious person of any denomination to be accepted by God, is if the condition of the person’s heart before the Almighty is acceptable, even though they practice what other people may consider to be a wrong belief and have no right to judge. God will look and determine if the person believes according to His will in the gospel or is just an honest, sincere believer of any religious denomination who keeps their heart pure before the Lord. Or that person is a believer who does not want to challenge the spiritual truth of the gospel in their life, living a life of self-confidence based in theological knowledge and not in the world of God’s spiritual revelations.
The intentions of a man’s heart before the Almighty will save or condemn the said man’s soul on the Day of Judgment, whether that person is judged by others to be right or wrong in his faith and belief in God. The Almighty is the only One with the last word about man’s heart and faith, the only One to decide his eternal resting place.
Since we have fallen from God’s grace, we have undergone a change of ownership in terms of our destiny. The new lord, Satan, is the one whose evil spirits in all their manifestations make men in this secular life do evil things, not only to others but also to themselves. They attack both mind and body, making their lives to be an always open wound that never seems to heal. We haven’t gotten far away fast enough from evil, not even with the invention of the wheel, and then the plane, or the space rocket, all instruments that are maybe taking us closer to evil rather than farther away. That same evil throughout all generations has had only one thing in mind, and that is the annihilation of mankind.
Satan got into the lives of people to such an extent that God had to cleanse us, the dirty people, from the face of the earth, with the exception of a few. But even after the Flood, people did not stay faithful to God, so for the second time, He wiped from the face of the earth the degenerate, immoral people of Sodom and Gomorrah by fire, again with the exception of a few who were faithful.
