One of the biggest frauds perpetrated on the churches is this idea that we have had a cyclical  parade of reformers in the modern era.  Even  the vaunted Lutheran Reformation is quite a load of bunk.  Whatever shenanigans shenanigans the Church of Rome was pulling in the middle ages  had no determinative effect upon the advance of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.  If light had disappeared from the church, from the lives of believers in general, joy and peace and security would also have vanished, and that is not the case, and could not be the case. So for all those who want to make a case that they have light for the church we have a surprise for you tha only and deceitful is in the making.

God and good works

Philanthropic ventures are not a diagnostic feature of Christ’s witnesses.  Loving other humans and providing for their needs are commendable except when they are an attempt to access government finances or are hiding places for those for whom the truth of the gospel is a severe challenge.  In simple terms, people who are xenophobic by their tradition and by their culture will be quick to put on a show of doing good deeds for people who are less fortunate.  They do not want the challenge of standing up or standing out for the crucified Lord.  Good works are a deadly snare

What does someone see

You may not have given much thought to taking the Ten Commandments as your moral standard, but surely you can recognize that what a person does is more likely to be seen than anything he refrains from doing.  If good works are the currency we must ask ourselves two questions.  1.  Who benefits? 2.  What do people see?

What does the neighbour see

1. When Elohim is your only God
2. When you neither making nor worshipping idols
3. When you do not use the sacred name in vain
4. When you and your household do not work on the sabbath
5. When you honor your parents
6. When you do not kill
7. When you do not steal
8. When you go not commit adultery
9. When you do not perjure yourself
10. When you do not covet property

Wars make people forget

Conflict has the capacity to disrupt the normal flow of human life.  That disruption touches family relationships, commerce, spiritual enrichment and international alliances.  So what better fabrication can people find than to have people believe that a war is on.  If you are a Christian and you believe that a war is on, then you don’t believe that Christ defeated Satan at the cross and rose from the dead to prove it.   If you believe in Christ and Satan are in conflict today then you do not recognize what Christ means when he says that Hell’s Gates cannot prevail against the church.  How could people be found overwhelmingly conquering in adverse situations of life (Romans 8:35-39) if there is still a war going on between Christ and Satan?  People can be so gullible as to raise questions about their basic capacity to understand simple statements.

The church is not like ancient Israel, passing repeatedly from loyalty to Yahweh to domination by Canaanite Baalism. 

I suppose if people really want to be Israel they can say it often and hope that, like the lies that are shaping the twenty-first century’s opening decades, the fantasy will become true. Israel’s religious and political factions are disturbing realities nobody wants. It is Israel’s status as a chosen people that attracts many observers. We do not want to be hated by all nations. We do nort wanrt to be repeatedly threatened by civil way and wicked kings. We do not want our prophets and wise men to eveluate us as worse tan farm yard anumals, or call us devil seed. We do not want to be scattered all over the planet, or find ourselves on the brink of annihilation. Who dares to say that disturbing religious and political entities are not a pox on our secular lives? Who is to say that wicked kings and civil wars are not repeatedly threatening the future desired by decent people from rising? Since Britain has changed its mind about a prosperous colonial empire we have to recognize that being Israel will accomplish nothing, as surely as Israel has accomplished none of the grand goals of her primary pattriarchs.
