Christendom of this twentieth century says that it is the follower of Christ Jesus, but do you believe it is?
Listen to, and read, if you will, about the so-called representatives of Christ Jesus. They certainly do not show the faith in the Word of God that Jesus showed.
Today many of the leaders of Christendom want to speak of their own originality and are drawing the greater number of people away from the faith in true Christianity, the faith that Jehovah God lives and faith in God’s Son, Christ Jesus.
Lots of people calling themwelves Christian have made Jesus into their god instead of worshipping the God of Jesus Christ, Who is an Allknowing Unseen Eternal Spirit Being.
Those Christians try to make the great message that Jesus taught concerning the kingdom of the heavens as of no account. By presenting that God would have come to earth to fake his temptation, his torturing, his death and resurrection, him being a so called god who can not die, those Christian theologians promoting their three-headed god, take away the horpe for man that he could stand up from the dead, because when Jesus would be God we still have no proof that man would be able to resurrect from the death.
And as for the Bible’s moral code, those believers in Jesus as a god son, they would make it as no guide for man today.
We would like to ask: How can these theologians say that they are Christians, or even represent Christianity? Or, for that matter, how can there be a religion if there is no God or if God is dead?
Some theologians think that by the flip of the tongue they can kill God, get rid of him, and wipe out the Bible, God’s Book, where we learn what men have said to God and what God has said to them.
Christian men and women with faith in their Creator, God, will not agree with Thomas J. J. Altizer, associate professor of religion at Atlanta’s Emory University, a Methodist-owned school, who says, as also reported in the Pensacola Journal of December 3, 1965: “We must recognize that the death of God is a historical event.”
Such theologians strongly encourage men and women who at one time may have had faith in God and in his beloved Son, Christ Jesus, to discard the Bible and make up their own religion, develop their own belief and do this without a God.
They had better call it something other than religion, because Webster’s New International Dictionary (1927 edition) says concerning religion:
“The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god, or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service and honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love, fear, or awe of some superhuman, overruling power, whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites and ceremonies, or by the conduct of life; a system of faith and worship; a manifestation of piety.”
Under the heading, God, this same dictionary says
: “The Supreme Being; the eternal and infinite Spirit, Creator and Sovereign of the universe; Jehovah. ‘God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24).’”
It also says:
“A being of more than human attributes and powers; especially, a superhuman person, conceived as dominating nature . . . and to whom worship is due and acceptable.”
If anyone is going to practice religion he must believe in God; otherwise it is not a religion.
Why not close down all the churches that have ministers who believe God is dead, because they surely do not want their parishioners to believe in God?
Maybe their parishioners will turn to ancestor worship or self-worship, or perhaps they are gradually turning their minds over to the Buddhist religion, where people hope eventually to gain nirvana, the great nothing which they believe is God.
Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary (1961 edition) defines “nirvana”:
“The dying out in the heart of passion, hatred, and delusion.
This emancipation involves a beatific spiritual condition and freedom from the necessity of future transmigration. Oblivion to care, pain, or external reality.” Are we to believe we came from nothing and go back to nothing?
Many of the leading religionists of Christendom are trying to destroy all faith in the Great God of the universe and in his written Word.
The lack of faith in the Bible on the part of the clergy of Christendom is very noticeable.
Mankind has to find the way back to the bibblical Truth.
Those who have found that the Nazarene master teacher Jeshua is the Way to God want to invite all people to come to see who tat man is and what his important role is in the universe.
Prominent clergymen of Christendom may be destroying the people’s belief in the Bible.But we are convinced that people may find reasons enough to come to read the Bibel again and to find that That Word is telling enough about the Maker of the universe and how we have to act, behave and how we can find a beter life.
As Jeshuaists, followers of Jeshua, Jesus Christ, we want to make the effort to get people to see how Jeshua, Jesus Christ is the way to God and the way to salvation, the solution against all our problems and suffering.
