Do we really have to put up with with all the nonsense of some religious 'ritual' where the leaders assume that they are the most important persons in the house? Must we accept a so-called 'Christian' concert with flashing lights and 'haze atmosphere-creating' machines as being a meeting with the Almighty? Is God actually present whilst the jiving half-dressed 'worship' group 'performing' on the stage do their latest song routine with some demented drummer thrashing his sticks to stir up the congregation?
No. It is all a delusion to cover the fact that God is not present in the meetings, and so the 'spiritual' atmosphere must be created by the carnal antics and emotions of empty souls and plastic electronics, designed to draw a crowd and show the world that "we are just the same as everyone else". That in itself is a deception and falsehood.
The true church is not of this world, nor like this world, nor part of this age of iniquity and spiritual blindness.
Many are called, but few are the chosen. The chosen are called out of this world and its ways. They are a 'peculiar' people, set apart, distinctly different by nature and by their divine appointment.
God does not need any of our apparatus or religious junk to prove himself to be God, or to show up at our gathering together. It means nothing to him and in no way attracts him. He looks only for humble and repentant hearts who have died to this world and its ways, and are looking to his promise of a new heaven and a new earth at the return of Jesus in power and glory.
No priest's robes can elevate or commission anyone to be a true child or servant of God, for indeed, every religion in the world affords their leaders uniforms and special garments to somehow attempt to prove them superior to the commoners in their gatherings.
The poor man who really knows God, though he has but rags to wear in this world, is truly a prince and ambassador of the Royal Family in heaven. He might be despised and loathed by even the religious mob, but he walks in authority and understanding which the pretenders have no knowledge or experience of.
Where is the true church? Probably not in many of the cathedrals, conferences, or trendy churches where God is assumed to reside. For 'where two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus, He is there among them'.
Back to the Bible; back to the truth; back to sound doctrine which the modern 'church' has despised for the sake of entertainment and entertaining the half-baked congregation.
The Bible is not an app, nor a gadget. It is a book, a very holy Book. It seems that it is an embarrassment to carry one these days, and 'inconvenient' to use one in the pulpit. But your phone or gadget are not holy in any measure whatsoever, and Ai will soon make sure that they will be corrupted without you even knowing it.
