PIMPS IN THE PULPITS

   Karl Marx said, "religion is opium of the people."
   As we have been discussing, man created all of the religions of the world.  God did not influence men to create religions and neither did the Son of God come to earth to initiate a religion.
   Kark Marx is therefore correct in his assessment of man's addiction to religion, for once religion is embedded in the minds of people, religion becomes their spiritual drug and people become addicted to religion.  They are "hooked" and they return to their religious stations for their prescription medication on a regular schedule, just as their spiritual doctors prescribe. 
   Once people are addicted to religion, they accept the words of their spiritual leaders---their ministers, pastors, and priests---and thus they are easy subjects to believe in other ways to live their lives and in other ways to believe that they can get to heaven without Jesus Christ; for even in some Christian churches and in Christian religions, people are taught other ways to get to heaven without Christ.
   Now that they are addicted to religion and because they believe in the words of their spiritual doctors, they resist God, they resist Christ, and they also resist the Word of God; for they are taught to believe that the words of their religious founders are more important than the Word of God. 
   In fact, the words of their religion, which is in their minds, war against God, war against Christ, and war against the Word of God.  Are they Christians?  In their minds they believe they are Christians because these are the words their religious doctors tell them to accept.  In reality, however, they are religious puppets, just as their leaders are religious puppets, for religion is their drug and their spiritual doctors---the ministers, pastors, and priests---are their pharmacists.
   As such, religious people will easily accept the world government that is coming just as they will easily accept the world church that is coming because of their addiction to the drug called religion and they are spiritual prisoners; and at a future time, they will also worship Satan because it is to Satan that the new world government is leading people along with the new world church.
   Whereas, if people will accept Christ as their Saviour, not only will the Lord deliver them from sin, but the Lord will also deliver them from their addiction to religion and spiritual imprisonment and they will be free.
   But then you may say that you are a religious Christian and you may also believe that you are not being led to worship Satan.  If you are not for Christ, however, then you are against Him; for you cannot have your religious drug and also have Christ.  And if you resist Christ in order to keep your Christian religion, then your religion is more important than Christ; and if you are influencing others to embrace your religion, then you are also leading others to worship Satan.
   This is why religious leaders and false prophets are called "pimps in the pulpits" because they are worshippers of Satan.  They are also master deceivers just as their god Lucifer is the master of deception.  They wear the uniforms of disguise and deceive people because they look good, sound good, and are able to manufacture the appearance of representatives of God; and because they are masters of deception, they are capable of leading people in churches and Christian religion to accept their words as truth and have them believing that there are other ways to heaven other than Christ.
   Do you see why Marx said "religion is opium of people"?  Do you believe it?  If you therefore see this and believe it, then come out of religion and come to Christ.  Let go, come to Christ, and He will save you from your sin and deliver you from the spiritual imprisonment of religion, which has your soul in prison.  For it was Christ who died for your sins.
   As Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man cometh to the Father but through me.
