In false churches, Jesus is no more than an idol: an image created in the minds of false prophets, false ministers, and false priests, and transferred to the minds of people within their congregations.
As such, Jesus is no more than an image: a photograph, picture, portrait, drawing, sketch, sculptor, or as a crucifix dangling on a necklace, or as a good luck charm worn on a bracelet.
In false churches, Jesus is no more than an image of a baby at Christmas, placed under a green tree with other Christmas idols, or wrapped as a doll in a crib in manger scenes along with barnyard animals.
As an idol in false churches, Jesus is not real. All the stories that are told about Jesus in false churches are fairytales because Jesus---in the minds of the congregations---is merely an idol. And the biblical story about Jesus, to them, is also a fairytale because the congregations do not believe in the Holy Bible---because the false prophets do not believe in the Holy Bible.
These stores are simple to remember because they are told as children's stories---much like The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, or Alice in Wonderland. And Twas the Night Before Christmas has more meaning than the Second Chapter of the Gospel of Luke to the members of false churches.
The stores that false prophets tell to their congregations about Jesus are designed to deceive: to influence them to believe that they are Christians because they worship an idol Jesus, and because they participate in a religious system of rites and rituals that purify them of their sin.
In false churches, Jesus has no power because His birth, life, death, and resurrection are simply stories. To them, Jesus---if He lived and died at all---is still dead: as symbolized by a crucifix. The underlying message here is this: what can a dead man do for them?
For the people in false churches, to be "born again" and the "second coming of Christ" are no more than additional chapters in their Book of Fairytales because they do not believe in born again, nor in the second coming of Christ because they do not believe in the Holy Bible.
To believe that Christ will return, one must first believe that Jesus is alive. In false churches, the people believe that their salvation is in their religion, and not in the living Christ.
Sadly and tragically, the belief of Christ in false churches is as if Jesus never lived at all!
