Pride and Prejudice...




I can not and will not tolerate the hypocrisy of the Christian Church for one moment longer… Look for a moment at what is going on in “our” Christian Church… Read the news, watch T.V. and see the reality of “our” Church. The Church we have claimed for our own and proudly boast of its miniscule successes.

You that preach of love, tolerance, and relevance in hues of gray. You that preach to the lost, more lost than the ones you preach to. You that believe that Christ emerged from the Church . You will know that Christ will not tolerate being a byproduct of His own creation! Ephesians 2:20-21, “20. built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21. in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.“ And Colossians 1:17-18, “17. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.” You fools of the pulpit to twist the Word of God, turning repentance into acceptance, abominations into embracement and the Word of true love into weakness and frailty on a broken Cross. You that make the cross, one of balsa wood, an easy burden and a waste of time. With simple prayers, and petitioned gifts of self righteousness and indulgence. You have made nothing, and learned nothing of sin, but have welcomed it as a character flaw surrounded by acceptance and rot. You are the most proud, the most prideful of ALL these! You speak with forked tongues and two faces. Conceit and Pride has built Your church. Sermons reduced to politically correct “messages” of self help garbage, trickled with sporadic flat scripture. Are you not creating your own religion from Gods Church? One that is a living example of embarrassment and disgrace? Repentance, reduced to a childlike defense of worldly excuses? You have little time to heed the words of Job, and his words to Almighty God, stating in Chapter 42:5-6, “5. I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; 6. therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

You say we welcome those who do not know Christ with open arms, and when they arrive you spoon feed them worldly opinions of man made self relevantism and lies, spitting in the face of Christ and His lost. You no longer call yourselves or others to repentance, only acceptance. Satan has fooled you long enough, hear the words of Christ, Matthew 4:17”…“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.“

You say that because people suffer, they deserve better! Because there is evil and broken heartedness we must either lock the Christian doors and turn a blind eye to it, or grab popcorn and watch the sickening fall, without the least attempt of Rescue! Oh, but how you will BOAST of the attempt! You watch death and suffering with a telescope and throw weak prayer towards it as if God never allows such things in a rose colored universe. Then you grumble to Him about bitter disappointments and unfulfilled prayers. There is GREAT evil and suffering in the world! You are the coward who knowingly refuses to change it, “for the beast is much greater then I“ you sneer. You weak souls of disbelief and unfaithfulness. Your lack of faith causes your blindness and murders the lost, like sheep to the slaughter. We have not changed the world, I say we have scarcely scratched its surface with our dull nails. You believe you have done enough, when such a phrase has NEVER existed! You have filled seats in an empty church, while their hearts remain outside. Your end is the refusal to take responsibility for the sins you so proudly bear, then accept those with the same. Who among us is truly saved? and be careful as you mock the question with masked grins of content and confidence, for it is proclaimed by Christ himself, (Matthew 7:21-23)21. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23. And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Question this heart Christ gave you. Let us return, no, run to Absolute Truth. Let us race to the Supremacy of God, not ourselves. Let us be humble and open to the reality of the Scriptures. Let us prayerfully accept the hard truth about the things that dishearten us and look towards Christ with trust, that his plan is better for us than our own. It is perfect regardless of whether we understand it or not. Our salvation hangs on it. Let us finally know Love through Him. I pray that Christ will NEVER find me so proud and prideful as the Christian Church, and if so to change this vile heart I possess. I question today’s Christian Church as one where absolutes are no longer absolute and scripture is reduced to red letters and unprayerful bias. 1 Corinthians 2:5, “that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
