Bible Note: "people who are religious in their own minds." Hi, leonore! There are many examples of these people... they read the Bible and joing congregations (some of the times it is the whole congregation) seeking to worship God in their own way (i.e.: homosexual--by their own declaration they engage in acts that are an abomination to God yet they put on their "Christ" and demand that the Church welcomes them into the Kingdom of God: "come as you are type of worshiper." God does not change! He has vowed condemnation to those who are obstinate and proud enough to change allegiance from the Creator to the creature: Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not do. They are filled with all kinds of wickedness, evil greed, and vice, they are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, deceit, and malice. They gossip and speak evil of one another, they are hateful to God, insolent, proud,and boastful; they disobey their parents; they have no conscience; they do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or pity for others. They know that God's law says that people who live in this way deserve death. Yet, not only do they continue to do these very things, but they even approve of others who do them. (Romans 1:28-32) Those of us who behave in such manner are truly pseudo-Christians, weapons of Satan to confound the true believers. They are but wolves in sheep clothing, seeking to enter the fold only to disembowel it from within (it is happening on a daily basis, world wide). Remember, as we come near to God, God comes near to us--when you search the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Spirit searches you and guides you to our Lord, Jesus Christ! God Bless! Angel |
