False doctrines are stumbling blocks

Stumbling blocks are barriers to belief in the Gospel of Jesus. It is not merely ‘unrighteousness and love of sin’ that is the barrier to belief as jokers love to simply dismiss. This is as helpful as saying that the barrier to putting on a parachute in a plane knowing that it will crash is that the plane will crash to the ground anyway. It is to simply dismiss those who did not hear about the parachute being the solution to be simply unable to be saved from the crash. It is to blame such people for not hearing about the parachute and for not knowing the plane will crash. This jokers blame people who do not hear the Gospel for being born in sin, and thereby, not being saved anyway even if they heard the Gospel.  This is what they are trying to imply and they do not even realise. Such a joker of an evangelist thinks that. He may as well sell burgers for a living.

The barriers to belief come from outside the person’s heart too. This is just as important to understand. Why is it that the Apostles had to deal so much with false doctrines? Many stumbling blocks are false doctrines, if not most. These false doctrines feed on the flesh and the carnal mind, holding helpless sinners in captive. Yet, jokers who simply dismiss the barrier to belief as unrighteousness and love of sin do not acknowledge such bondage that comes from false doctrines, while expressing how much they care for the lost. False doctrines hold people captive and hinder people from believing in Jesus Christ. Of course, it is that flesh that is hostile against God that makes a person resist believing in Jesus. That is why God needs to draw that person to Him. However, satan and his demons are actively seeking to stop a person from repenting. Satan and his minions are ever more powerful in the world today.


Satan uses the idea that it is only because of a person’s unrighteousness and love of sin that is the barrier to accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which many modern evangelicals believe. This is a very dangerous half-truth. It is absolutely true that it is a person’s unrighteousness that ultimately leads him to reject Jesus. However, this is not what such jokers are saying. What they are saying completely fails to acknowledge that a person cannot help but be born in sin. They are dismissing the lost who do not hear the Gospel of simply being too unfortunate. Thus, this dismissive attitude towards the lost is really hatred under the guise of graciousness. It is to imply that if a person does not hear the Gospel, it is their fault they do not hear it and end up in Hell.

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a

The spirit behind Debt, the spirit of Mammon, seeks to Blind, Control, Enslave and Dominate by debt

Many people just cannot understand what usury is for what it is. Thus, in order for people to understand what exactly usury is, they must be made to understand debt first. Debt is not merely money to be repaid. It has power. Debt indeed is power, which comes from a source not from God: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).  One can discern that debt has a power behind it if one uses one's godly discernment. Debt brings spiritual bondage to a person, not merely financial bondage, but spiritual bondage. The real issue with debt for all people whether unsaved or saved is that it keeps people from fully serving God. It is a spiritual stronghold of mammon that panders to the flesh, to make a God-hater even more hostile against God, by feeding on his flesh to increase its appetite even more. It is also a spiritual stronghold
