TOMBS OF DARKNESS

   The greatest threat to the freedom of people is not the politics of human government, but rather the power of darkness that reigns in human minds in the form of religion.
   During the temptation of Jesus for forty days, the devil took Jesus to an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, all these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:  for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.  (Matthew 4: 8-10)
   Jesus resisted Satan. 
   People, however, have been unable to resist Satan's offer for thousands of years:  during which time people have received power, prestige, honor, and enormous wealth in the arenas of this world system:  in places such as religion, politics, business and finance, education, as well as in the entertainment world of music, movies, and sports. 
   Such people are those who amass financial fortunes, who get the attention of headlines in newspapers and magazines, who live in mansions, drive the most expensive vehicles under the sun, and who are frequently visible on television, in movies, and on the internet.  They are the "stars" of Hollywood, show business, the talking heads of talk radio and talk television, and also the "stars" of religion and even the "stars" of Christianity with television and radio ministeries that attract millions of viewers.
   Such people become the "gods and goddesses" of this world.  They are watched, adored, and even worshipped.  Their words are as honeycomb, dropping from their lips. 
   Religious leaders of the world are also wealthy people; therefore, do not be deceived to believing that they are poor people, for they are not poor.  They live in fancy homes, drive expensive vehicles, wear the finest garments under the sun, travel in luxurious jets, and have servants attending to their needs. 
   Religion is a tomb of darkness and its members are on deathrow, for the minds of members have been brainwashed through deception to believe that when they die they will pass through a door of light and enter a world far better than the world in which we presently dwell:  an eternal world of heaven, or happiness, or delight.  This future world, however, is merely an illusion from the minds of religion's messengers, or ministers of darkness, for their allegience is not to God, but to the prince of darkness, Satan, and they are being rewarded for teaching others to avoid the way to God, which is through Christ Jesus the Lord.  And for people who are trapped in this wonderland of fantasy, their dream will always be there as long as they follow the doctrines and dogmas of their religious gurus, the priests and priestesses of religion:  as long as they stay on the Yellow Brick Road and keep their eyes focused on reaching the Oz in Emerald City they will forever remain prisoners in tombs of darkness.
   The Apostle Peter wrote a warning:
      But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.  And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:  whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.  (II Peter 2: 1-3)
   Religions of the world are the tombs of darkness, which include:
   Islam, Chrislam, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Mormonism, Scientology, and a host of others worldwide.  For all of these offer ways to eternity that bypass the Lord Jesus Christ, who was crucified for the sin of the world.
   Beginning at the tower of Babel, as written in the 11th chapter of the book of Genesis, man has been at war against God ever since that day, and man has created religions all over the world as military outposts of opposition:  recruiting members by the power of deception out of secrecy in order to protect the identity of religions' head, who is Satan, so that Satan can take the souls of people to be in hell with him.  This is why religion is the greatest threat to freedom because the powerful people that rule religion also rule the politics of human government, thereby making politicians no more than puppets in the hands of the priesthood of religions, worldwide.
   Jesus said, salvation is of the Jews.  Even today, the two most hated groups of people on the earth are Jews and Christians.  And the most hated book on the earth today is the Holy Bible.  We are hated for Christ's sake because Christ is above all the religions of the world as well as above all the principalities of human government. 
   Therefore, people of religions resist Christ because they prefer their tombs of darkness:  and there they will remain until they come to believe in the Light, which is Christ Jesus the Lord.
   As it is written, Neither is there salvation in any other:  for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.  (Acts 4: 12)  And that name is Jesus.
   Amen.
