The spirit of Religion and the spirit of Mammon are Both Self-Centred, Seeking what One Wants for Oneself and Justifying it

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...

The spirit of Religion Loves Power and Authority and Desires to Manipulate, Intimidate and Dominate those who Oppose it

The spirit of religion is a spirit that loves power and authority. It loves to manipulate, intimidate and dominate people. It is the spirit of religion working through the pharisees that they constantly sought to trap him ( manipulation ) (Matthew 16:1; 19:3; 22:17-18, 35-36; Mark 12:13-15; Luke 10:25; 11:53-54; John 8:3-6), threatened to kill him multiple times ( intimidation ) (John 8:56-59; 10:30-33) and finally, accused Him of wickedness to murder him ( domination ) (Matthew 26:65-66).  The spirit of religion is truly a vile spirit that hardly anyone talks about because people can hardly perceive him. They cannot perceive him because many professing Christians sadly are under the spirit of religion and do not realise it. The spirit of religion is a spirit from one which one must be delivered from immediately because it is vile, wicked and absolutely diabolical.  The spirit of religion is full of corruption, because it follows the flesh, and the flesh reaps nothing but ...

Earthly Wealth is Not a Sign of God's Favour. It is to Truly be Satisfied in Christ and Christ Alone that One is Truly Blessed.

Many in the modern western Church think that they are more blessed than others by having more material wealth or possession is a sign that God's favours them more than others. They think that earthly wealth is a measure of God's blessings, that is, favour. A person who has less earthly wealth is therefore less blessed by God. Such is a despicable abominable doctrine of demons. What is so abominable about this doctrine you may ask? What makes it truly abomination is that it perverts the very meaning of what it means to be favoured by God.  To be blessed by God is to be favoured by God. The Greek word for blessed is ' makarios ' meaning happy because God's grace has come upon a person and favour. It is the word used in the Beattitudes in Matthew 5.  The Beattitudes tell us the God favours the poor in spirit, those that mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, those who are persecuted for righteousn...

Exposing self-centred opposition of Islam among professing American conservative evangelical Christians

Below is my response to an slanderous attack made against me by “Stephanie” at girlwithadragonflytattoo blog in her response to my comment at https://girlwithadragonflytattoo.com/2017/07/25/the-most-evil-religion-in-the-world/ . Her comments are in square brackets. Mine are interspersed in between.  Please note, I am by no means a supporter of Islam. Islam is anti-Christ, and is rightly exposed as such. However, to single it out as the most evil religion on the basis that militant islamists hate Americans, white people and women, just mere human beings, as opposed to hating it because it opposes the God is the Bible, is just self-centred. So, that is my aim: to show how self-centred the article is. [I think there are other religions are that at least as evil, such as wicca, and satanism. They may not call for jihad, but are their hearts not at least as evil as that of islamists? I kind of wonder if you’re being sincere here…. ] It is so easy to question the sincerity o...
