Fighting the Four Evils

Many churches nowadays are constantly pushing people to get married and have families, largely as a response to the degeneracy of the decadent immorality of the culture around them, which despises marriage and family and perverts these institutions. However, this "marriage and family" agenda is based on many fundamental misconceptualisations of Scripture.  One key misconceptualisation is the view that people must marry to not be lonely, because of Genesis 2:18 which says: " And the  Lord  God said, “ It is  not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” These religious people in the professing Church are constantly quoting this to people who object to their view that all people must rush into marriage or else they are "cursed" for being unmarried. Such are absurd lies! What Genesis 2:18 really means is that God created woman to complement man so that humanity will be both male and female. God did not create humanity to ...

For fifteen centuries, the Church has taught that celibacy is the ideal life, based on a proper and clear understanding of Scripture. Yet, with the Protestant Reformation, this doctrine was reversed, and instead, marriage became the ideal. The idea that celibacy was ideal was scorned, and demonised, and marriage became elevated over celibacy. This idea has continued well into contemporary times where many Christians think that marriage is the ideal.  Marriage has now become the most serious concern of many if not most Christians, irrespective of 'denomination' precisely because of how the idea that celibacy is not ideal, even wrong or unnatural, while marriage is ideal has been propagated down the centuries. This minor issue has become a major issue, while major issues, such as the doctrines of the Trinity, theosis and Christian militancy have been shunned. Many professing Christians are not concerned with fighting evil, but only concerned about marriage and the earthly affai...

The spirit of religion and the spirit of mammon are both manifest in the idea that earthly goods are a reward for one's righteousness, and that one is entitled to seek all that one wants for oneself Many religious people think that they have all that they have, because of their righteousness. They are exactly like the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18:18-24: Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”   So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.   You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ” And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.” So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when he heard this, he becam...

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord ,  as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,  by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ( 2 Peter 1:2-4) God has called all true Servants of God to glory and virtue. That is the highest and more glorious calling, to be called to reflect the glory and virtue of the very God Himself who created the universe ex nihilo (Genesis 1:1) and who will reign forever. Indeed, glorious and excellent things await those who totally give their lives for the glory and virtue of God!  Such glory and virtue is not merely great, but excellent and eternal. One would be a fool to say that one loves God, but yet seeks only the thin...
