We are standing on a stage of history where people have never stood before, and there is also a mindset that has gripped the minds of people that this generation has not known before.
Therefore being led to believe that many people have no interest in knowing truth, we can also believe that this is no mystery when we examine the evidence that is in front of our eyes:
that people are content to do the things they do today as they did yesterday, and they are content to do those things tomorrow that they are doing today;
that people are content to believe in the things they believe today as they believed yesterday, and they are content to believe those things tomorrow that they believe today;
that people are content to know no more today than they knew yesterday, and they are content to know no more tomorrow than they know today.
If today is no different than yesterday, and if tomorrow will be no different than today, what are people living for?
Could it be that our routines have become ruts and our ruts have become tunnels? That we have dug ourselves in holes and all we are doing is spinning our wheels, yet no longer moving forward?
Routines never change unless we consciously change our habits, and out habits will not change unless we consciously change the way we think.
There are two addictions that are common to many people:
1. the addiction to government
2. the addiction to religion
Both institutions are inventions from the imaginations of men, and both institutions lead people into captivity.
Religion is ruled and dominated by unholy men in priestly garments and they present themselves as holy men, as if they are gods of the universe living on earth, sinless, and not living according to human laws, but serving as enforcers of religious law.
In fake Christianity, these unholy men present themselves as "servants of God" and also as "servants of Christ" because their desire is to trick people to be believe they are Christians simply because of their acceptance of a Christian religion: that religion is the reason they believe they are Christians instead of believing in Christ alone. They are deceivers, making themselves to appear as "holy men" in the eyes of their congregations, and they desire the praises of their people, whom they are holding captive. People respond by kneeling to their authority, by their submission to them, as they also believe these unholy men have the power to forgive sin, thereby making the death of Christ for sin null and void: for Christ, to them, is just part of their religious experience, or just another face among many faces within their institution, for they have become institutionalized by their spiritual doctors, isolated and insulated within the walls of their institution, unable to speak for Christ because their voices have been trained to speak for their religion and their religious heads and not to speak for the Lord, but rather to remain silent concerning Jesus.
Religion, therefore, is like a psychiatric hospital where patients are brought to be examined by men in white jackets. When their treatment plan is complete, they will be like all other patients in the building. Not only will they believe that their doctors are gods from above, or "holy men", but they will also be convinced that these humans are capable of forgiving sin as well as knowing the way to a place called heaven after they die. Their faith and trust has been thoroughly forged in their minds to believe that these men in white jackets are God and rightfully deserving of the title, "Father God". According to their medical records, Jesus is not needed for salvation since they have submitted themselves to a program that is equal to or even greater than Christ, and their doctors in white jackets nod approvingly---while not one of these men in white jackets died for sin, nor arose from death.
The writers of the New Testament were witnesses of Jesus, and their stories are their eyewitness accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of the Lord. But without the resurrection of the Lord, their stories would be incomplete: for it is the Lord's resurrection from death that sets Jesus apart from any and all persons in universal history.
The writers of the New Testament never wrote about themselves as "holy men", nor did they claim to be equal with God and capable of forgiving sin. They never expected people to kneel to them, nor to call them "Father". Furthermore, they never wrote that Jesus came to earth to be the founder of a new religion. They quoted the words of Jesus and not the words of themselves.
As Jesus said,
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 11: 25-26)
