PUPPETS ON STRINGS

   In general, people all over the world have never been to school for Bible lessons; consequently, people all over the world have little to no education in the knowledge of God.
   As a result for this lack of the knowledge of God, they are as puppets of religion, or puppets on strings.
   As such, they are unable to think for themselves, for they rely on puppet masters to tell them what to do, how to sit, when to stand, when to kneel and bow their heads, and when to arise and leave the building.
   Unable to feed themselves from the Word of the Lord, they rely on puppet masters to read to them, to tell them simple stories that will either delight their emotions, or imprison them with guilt.
   As a result for this lack of the knowledge of God, going to church or religious services is not much different than going to a theater to watch a show.  From week to week their behavior is about the same, and, from week to week, the show is about the same:  for they watch a repeat performance, time after time, and throughout their lives.
   As a matter of fact, people will never learn any more from a religion than they know today, and they will never know any more from a religion than they could have learned thirty, three hundred, or three thousand years ago; for all religion contains is the knowledge of men, which is no more than a production from the imaginations of men.
   For the only purpose of religion, created by evil men, is to deceive people from knowing God.
   Jesus of Nazareth is a real person. 
   Jesus of Nazareth is not an idol, a statue chiseled from stone, nor an image such as a painting or a photograph.
   Jesus is alive, living and breathing.  He is not a religion, and a religion does not contain Him, nor own Him, nor control Him.
   Jesus is not a puppet on a string.  And we who believe in Him are not puppets. 
   Therefore knowing Christ enables us to know the knowledge of God:  things past, things present, and things future.
   Religion can only be imagined to be real from within the imaginations of men.
   So what are you going to do today?  What are you going to believe?
   Do you really want to be a puppet on a string? 
   Give Christ a chance and you will be free from the slavery of religion.
