The Root of Apostasy: the Traditions of Men

Or why you think you're saved, but, Jesus will tell you:

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus anticipates your whining about how you did this and that, you voted for Republicans, you voted to close your borders to illegal immigrants, (even though we were all illegal immigrants at one time) you voted for the guy who said he was anti-abortion, you fought city hall to put up a Nativity scene at Christmas, you called up the public school and yelled at them for teaching Evolution, you even stood up at your "Church", held your hands up, looked extra "spiritual" and declared something earth shattering like "I believe we're in the end times", or "I think the economy is going to do badly this year" all of this you supposedly did in His Name:

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Still you're going to hear the above response from the Lord on Judgment day! And why are you going to hear that:

Mar 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Mar 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Jesus laid out His commandments plainly throughout the New Testament, or Covenant. Let's go through a few and see how the traditions of men that most "Christians" cling to have made your "worship" of God in vain, and will lead you too, to be labeled a worker of iniquity:

Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Luk 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Most "Christians" don't even love their neighbors, let alone their enemies, no, modern "Christians" hide behind legal entities like the "government" or the "Church" and think that they are innocent of the crimes committed by these entities. Kind of like the scribes and Pharisees mentioned by Jesus:

Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?


So when "America" goes around the world killing, stealing and corrupting at will, you say I didn't do that, but, I say you go to a "Church" that is sanctioned and incorporated by the same "America" that has slaughtered over 6 million people in their wars for profit in the last 50 years! Yes, it's true, your "Church" is incorporated by the U.S. government, and your "pastors" lead you in praying for the leaders and the military forces of America that are responsible for the deaths of over 6 MILLION people in Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan and thousands upon thousands of others around the globe! All of them innocent, and all of the wars based upon lies, every one of them!

Of course, if you weren't following the traditions of men, no matter what lies the war profiteering puppet masters have their puppets tell you wouldn't shake you from your Christ-centered convictions to love your enemies, not to kill them, to do good for those that persecute you, not drop bombs on them. But, long ago your country, you, and your "church" conformed to the world and have been worshiping the Lord in vain ever since.

Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

_____________________________________________________________

Luk 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

Give to EVERY one that asks me for something? Well, surely not the bums on the street, they're just going to use it to buy drugs or alcohol! Surely not to my next door neighbor, I saw him waste the money on something or another, blah blah blah. Is there an exception in Jesus' command? I see none, but, the traditions of men have taken to saying things like, well, you have to be a good steward of what God has given you, so be wise and don't give it to a bum, give it to your "Church" instead. Or, send them to a homeless shelter, or a soup kitchen, etc. If you go to many of today's "Churches" and ask for help, you most likely will get referred to a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. Why? The traditions of men have made the command of Jesus to give to anyone who asks of you of no effect. Many of the "Churches" that will send a beggar elsewhere couldn't give to someone who asks help from them without defaulting on their mortgage payment anyways. The traditions of men say that a local community of believers has to have a specific building to assemble in, whether that community can support it or not, after all it's not really "Church" if it's at somebody's house! is it?

Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The traditions of men make the commands of God of no effect, and you that turn aside from God's commandments and conform to the world will in the end hear the sad and final words of the Lord:

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It is not too late for you now though back-slidden "Christian"! Come to your senses before it’s too late, put aside all of the demagoguery of the left and the right and the corrupt politicians and turn to the light! To the way, the truth, and the life: John 14:6

Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Daniel Mark
