AN IMAGE OF CHRIST

   When people hear the truth, they will either accept it, reject it, pretend they did not hear it, or get angry.
   The difference between truth and lies is a fine line, and some people try to straddle the line:  pretending they are living lives of truth, but they still have one foot in darkness. 
  Such people are hypocrites:  they have heard the truth, but they continue to live in lies while believing that they will be alright as long as they remain in their belief.
   The Holy Spirit reveals Christ to the minds of people and people can thereby know that Jesus is the Son of God.  But people, however, can resist Christ as the Son of God and continue to believe in the image of Jesus that they have within their imaginations, which deceives them to believe that they are Christians because of the image of Jesus that is within their imaginations.
   The ministers and priests of false churches are masters of keeping Jesus as an image in the minds of people, for the people believe that it is their religion or church that saves them from their sins, and not Christ.  The people will then continue to believe in the image of Jesus at Christmas as well as the image of Jesus at Easter.  They will further believe that it is their minister or priest who forgives them for their sin, and not Almighty God.  For the ministers and congregations of false churches do not believe that Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, for even their salvation is an image painted in their imaginations.
  The false ministers and priests of false churches produce false salvation in the minds of their congregations.  These are the blind leading the blind.
      Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
      Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
      Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:  for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
      And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.  (Exodus 20: 3-6)
