Who’s Your Idol?

Jesus said a person couldn’t serve both God and money. However, the church can’t live without money and capitalism. The church also seems to be embroiled in politics. What’s up with that?

Americanized Christian Women

Americanized society teaches that there’s no difference between men and women. Political correctness has tried to remove any difference between men and women to destroy gender roles. The destruction of gender roles in the public arena has removed the roles in the home, which works at destroying God’s created order.

The Wussification Of Men

Our politically correct country specializes in castrating men and turning them into women. The church is no different as it makes men do womanly things like hold hands, hug, and sit passively as they listen to the pastor. Americanized Christian women do what they can to remove gender roles at home and in public by how they treat men.

Evangelical Purgatory

Roman Catholics teach about purgatory; however, this episode isn’t about Roman Catholics, but about evangelicalism’s quaint doctrine of “once saved always saved.” Is this doctrine true, or is it a way to make “sinners saved by grace” feel good about being church members even as they sin? The more members a church has means more money for the church and more glory for the pastor.

Jesus Wants To Entertain You

The world, as well as the church, is built around entertainment. A church’s effectiveness is gauged by how many people come to church. Dull services equals low attendance. Give the people what they what they want; soon what they want will become what they need.

The Real Matrix

Guilt and shame are two aspects people don’t like about going to church. Why does the church and clergy make people feel guilty if Christ set them free? It might surprise you that the church uses shame and guilt to get people to act the way it wants them to.

Jesus Must’ve Been A Capitalist

The church is money centric. IT HAS TO HAVE MONEY TO SURVIVE! So, everything that the church does depends upon a capitalist, corporate mentality.

What Does One Baptism Mean?

If the church isn’t able to have one simple doctrine, then it is certainly incapable of having one simple explanation and mode of “baptism.” The church intentionally convolutes this thing called “baptism” so people will continue to need the charlatans called “the clergy” (pastors, ministers, priests, etc.). Some churches even do away with “baptism” altogether. Why are the doctrines of the church so confusing?

Is The New Testament The Church Manual?

The New Testament became the proving grounds for ecclesiology in the Second Century. Today, as it was in the Second Century, the New Testament is the church manual that’s used to whip people into churchiaddicts that’re dependent on the clergy.

The Due Penalty For Perversion

You can here it in the news and in the streets today: “Homosexuals are born, not made.” The religious right try to argue that we are created beings and not a freak of nature. Who’s right? What’s with the homosexual gene?

Why Slung Dung?

The following was written by the very man the clergy base the legitimacy of their position on. The clergy seek to add to their qualifications, but Paul, an ambassador of Jesus, trashed his to get to know Jesus better. This is what Paul wrote (found in Philippians 3:7-10, MSG):

7 The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I'm tearing up and throwing out with the trash—along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ.

8 Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant—dog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ

9 and be embraced by him. I didn't want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ—God's righteousness.

10 I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself.
