The following an email
to Australian Christians, many of whom do not understand what Jesus meant when
He said that one “cannot serve both God and mammon.” It serves as a warning for
Christians everywhere, including those who think and identify themselves as
evangelists. Whenever you tell them about what is wrong with the world, they
accuse you of being judgmental and having an air of superiority. The reason for
all decay is the worship of the spirit of Mammon, which is in absolute
opposition to the nature of God. This is the core issue that all need to deal
with. All other issues are secondary to this as they stem from the worship of
Mammon:
Many non-Christians
think that Christians are hypocritical. For those of you who say that 'everyone
is hypocritical', this is not true. Some people who staunchly commit
to extremely evil things do no reprimand others for the moral values. They
are staunch in what they do and do not assume moral high ground.
Many secularists complain about why the
'conservative Christians' get involved in politics and interfere with what they
think is 'civilised' society. They are criticise the silence of the Church
about certain issues that the Church should be dealing with, such as usury.
This is the reason why Karl Marx lost all respect for the Church
because it failed to stop usury, an abomination according to God. Despite his
hatred of religion, he once said that "religion is the heart of a heartless
world", presumable with reference to Christianity. Christianity should be
the heart of a heartless world, but it appears that in the modern world, it is
not. If you didn't know, check this out: http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Usury/.
Usury is evil to the core like homosexuality, abortion, fornication, etc
The Church has become extremely
mammonised. Many Christians are too busy in pursuing achievements, money,
power, pursuits and other things. The modern Church is now the
achievement-driven, status-improving, comfort-seeking Church. It is very true
that many secularists are extremely arrogant and think they don't need
God. However, many in the church are not following the Bible by giving up one's
possessions, and one self. They are only ever focused on their 'own' needs.
They think that they can provide for themselves without God's helping hand. Of
course, this is not to say that you can sit back and do nothing and let all
your needs drop from the sky. I should not have to tell you this, but it looks
like many Christians in Australia need to be told. If I sound
"patronising" to you, then so be it.
Jesus said that one cannot serve God
and Mammon. Many Christians in Australia try to, but it is impossible. You will
hate one and love the other.
If you accuse me of being
self-righteous for saying this, that one cannot serve both Mammon and God, you
are not mocking me. You are mocking God. That is your problem if you
cannot accept it.
