The storybook of false churches can easily be called, Salvation by Perception.
For thousands of years, this has been the program of man's religions, which became the program of false churches after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Matthew 7: 15)
For nearly two thousand years, false churches have been spinning the same yarn that has been spun by pagan religions---luring people in their webs with doctrines and dogmas that appear to be real; for it is in imagination where deception abides: and people, as innocent lambs, have been tricked by cunning wolves. Therefore the wolves, dressed in priestly garments, are in the sheepfold shearing the sheep in false churches, and because of deception, the people do not know that the wolves are even there!
To begin, the people have been tricked to believe that the priests of false churches have the power of God to forgive sin---so much so, in fact---that the people call them Father, and the High Priest they call Holy Father. The people bow to them and submit to them as if they are God Almighty.
They further perceive that these humans possess the power to wash their sins with water as well as to secure the eternal future of their little ones by submitting their babies for infant baptism.
Furthermore, because of deception by perception that reigns in the minds of the people, Easter and Christmas are of equal value to the pagan festivals of Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, and Mardi Gras; and they eat fish on Fridays as the feast of Dagon, the half-man/half-fish deity of ancient Babylon. Christmas and Easter are simply part of the total religious package, which means that the birth and resurrection of Christ means no more than rubbing ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday, and that Christ means no more than Dagon. Jesus is part of the package, the religious experience, or a baby idol. Instead of looking to Jesus for salvation, they look to their human priests!
The founding fathers of false churches embraced the rites and rituals of pagan religions and their flocks do the same because of the perception of their minds. They have never heard the truth about God, about Jesus Christ, nor the truth that is contained in the Holy Bible, and the people still live in fear today just as their families have lived in fear for hundreds of years; for many of the people in false churches believe they have received a religion by inheritance: they perceive that they were born to believe this way.
Salvation by Perception is a sad story, but it is also a tragedy. For people all over the world, from the poorest to the richest, from the uneducated to the educated, still believe in this ancient paganism as if it is as fresh and new as the morning dew.
May God give them the grace to know and to accept the truth that is in Christ Jesus.
Amen.
