The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. (Psalm 14: 1)
Have you ever wanted to be a god? To be in total control of your own life? To have no authority over you? To do as you please with no one to stop you?
Disobedient children are as gods in their own minds. They care not for the authority of their parents; neither do they want their parents to get in their way, for they believe they know best what is best for themselves.
As such, disobedient children will pursue evil; and the more evil they pursue, the more evil they will do. To them, their parents are stupid and do not know anything that is good.
Just like disobedient children, a man without God wants to be a god. He wants to be in total control of his own life, to have no authority over him, and he wants to do as he desires to do with no person standing in his way.
As such, he wants to build his own tower to heaven, and thereby live in a place forever, a place that is designed by himself and for himself, just as he imagines his heaven should be in his own imagination.
Hell?
There is no hell in the mind of a fool, just as there is no God in the mind of a fool.
Therefore, if a man upon the earth says he is a god, men without God will believe in him as a god and will follow him all the days of their lives---especially if they believe that this man holds the key that unlocks heaven.
Such is the power that men have over men. And if this man convinces other men that he is a god, then those men will also convince their wives and their children to follow them to follow the man who has convinced them that he is a god.
All of this is the working power of deception, and this power of deception abides in men in the house of religion.
Such were the minds of the men who killed Jesus, for, in their own minds, they became as gods: they became the Judge, the Jury, and the Executioner. Not only them, but the men of Rome became as gods as well. To them, there was no authority to prevent them from killing people, even from killing the only begotten Son of God.
So, too, are the minds of people today whose trust is in a man of religion: a man who has convinced them that he is god, even the people of religious Christianity: for their faith is in this man, whom they believe can forgive them for their sins, and in whom they also believe holds the key that unlocks heaven until them---as long as their faith is in him, and not in Christ.
To them, a church is no more than a building with a cross stuck on the roof. But their faith is not in Christ, neither do they have faith in the Holy Bible, nor in the words of Jesus, which are written in the Holy Bible. For their faith is in their god-man, and their faith is in his words, whose words they believe are greater than the Word of the Lord.
Such people are hypocrites---pretending to be Christians, yet denying the power of the Lord's salvation through His death on the cross, but also by their denying the power of the Lord's resurrection from death!
In the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Christians living in Galatia, he wrote:
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (Galatians 3: 1)
And again, in Paul's epistle to the Christians living in Corinth:
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1: 18)
Is this same truth in the lives of people today, living in the United States and in nations all over the world?
who hath bewitched you to believe that there is no God?
who hath bewitched you to believe that a man, or a religion, is greater than Christ the Lord?
