I’m not looking for readers to this post, I am simply writing to get it off
my chest. Sometimes you just need to vent, and don’t need others’ opinions.
I hadn’t seen my best friend in a long time. We met today and had lunch at a
familiar place which in reality is nothing but godlessness and sinful. It
was at a “church” (Greek Orthodox) of all things, but today’s apostate churches are as
common as cornflakes these days. What bothers me is that I bought my lunch
from this place, knowing that doing so, I was in fact supporting its evil
agendas.
Now you say, “What’s the big deal? It was only food.” It was also liquid
devil, a.k.a., BEER, which is a sin in and of itself. You see, the purchase
of that food (and beer) will help support this “church” because they “need
the money,” or so my friend said. Need it for what? So they can maintain
their lavish gold idols and expensive programs? So they can go on teaching
false religion to those who reject Christ and the Gospel? Also, my friend
told me that they used to hold this event only once a year at the beginning
of fall, but now they hold it twice! Did I hear “cha-ching”?
I’m not familiar with what this religion teaches (and don’t want to be, no
thanks), but the fact is if you’re not supporting and praying for the true
church (NOT Catholicism, but the church of the Lord Jesus Christ,
blood-bought and saved), then you are bidding God speed and approving of the
false religions’ idolatry, hated of Jesus Christ, and blasphemy. My friend
said they made $30,000 last year. Have you ever seen that much money raised
for a Bible-believing church?? I haven’t!
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, (the doctrine of the true Gospel, 1 Cor. 15:3,4) receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 2 John 1:10, 11
That means if I put even one penny toward any false
religion or prophet, I am doing the same thing that heathen religionists do,
bowing to false idols and spitting on the God of the Bible. Oh Lord, forgive
my shortsightedness and ignorance!
There are many false religions in the world today. I won’t say which one was
the culprit in my plight, but my Bible says in 2 John 1 not to partake of
their evil deeds. That means, buying food from them when they’re lying and
saying they need money but they really have more money than they know what
to do with. By the way, my friend said the priest cusses a lot (takes God’s
Name in vain) and acts like an outright fool. Need I say more? Let me just
put it this way, this “church” is NOT a Bible-believing church. I wouldn’t
want to be in their shoes at the judgment!
You may think I’m some kind of nut for bringing this up, and it may seem
trivial to you, but the truth needs to be told. Let me tell you, God’s Word
is NOT trivial, nor is it to be taken lightly. I’ll gladly be a NUT for
Jesus Christ, because I know I’m screwed on to the right bolt!!
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12
