Question:How can a person who really wants to know if a religion is a true religion or just a set of beliefs ,conceived in the mind of Satan,for the purpose of leading souls astray?
Answer:Actually it's rather simple.Any religious teachings that lower in any way,shape,or form The exalted Name of Jesus Christ and His Sovereignty,or sets out to dethrone Him of Deity,and exalts mans position to deity status is a false way.It should be abandoned immediately.
Exalting man to the status of deity,in essence,making himself a god,has always been the problem of mankind.The first promise of becoming a god,given to man,did not come from God Almighty.It came through the promise of Satan back in the Garden in Genesis 3:5.He planted the seed of doubting God's word to Adam and Eve,and from that point onward man has been in rebellion against his Creator.
All world religions will either dethrone Jesus Christ of His proper Sovereignty in our lives,dethrone Him of Deity or just simply try to make Him no more than just another "good 'ol boy" who had some good teachings.This belief is demonic in nature and is becoming more popular as the days draw closer to His return.Jesus said in Luke 18:8,".....Nevertheless,when the Son of Man comes,will He really find faith on the earth?"
He was speaking of faith in Him.Who He is and what He did for us.If we abandon this basic principle of faith nothing else will matter.The True Foundation of Faith must firmly and forever be planted in Jesus Christ and Him crucified for us.He is the Stone of stumbling and the Rock of offense that destroys all the other world religions.This is the very reason why the name of Jesus Christ stirs so much hatred and division in the world.Christians are looked at as being narrow minded and intolerant of other people's religious beliefs,but never stop long enough to realize that all people must come the same narrow way.Christians are not born Christians,they must be Born Again (John 3:3-5) to become true Christians,which means they must accept the same narrow path of salvation that everyone else must choose,if they hope to be saved.We didn't say Jesus was the only way,He said it (John 14:6),and He also proved it by His resurrection from the dead.
Why must man insist on there being more than one way anyhow?
How many paths to God must we have? It really only takes one path.Yes,it is narrow,but it is wide enough for anyone who wants to walk it.One person at a time,but they can make it if they really want too.
It's every persons right to choose any path you want to travel in life to try and make it,but if you are not on the correct path,you will not find heaven,only disappointment,sorrow and anguish.Think of it like this:
If I invited my closest friends to a cookout at my house,and I was really going to do it up right and have all the fixings and trimmings you could imagine for them to eat,but they didn't know how to get to my house,I would definitely give them directions.But there is only one driveway that leads to my house.If they choose to use some other driveway to try and get there,what would be the outcome? That's right,they wouldn't get there.They would miss everything that I had prepared for them to enjoy.This is exactly what God has done.He has prepared heaven for those who want to come,but there is only one driveway to His house.You MUST take that driveway to get there.This is God's doings and God's way not our own.Jesus is that driveway,so to speak,won't you please take the right driveway and join me at His "cookout".....I love you all in Christ.God Bless you,Pastor John.
