Coming Out of Organized Religion

An acquaintance of mine just announced that she was proud to have come out of the Protestant religion and joined Catholicism instead. She said that she is much happier now. I asked her if she had ever read the book by Dr. Alexander Hislop called "The Two Babylons". She wasn't interested in hearing about it at all. She was perfectly happy in her new religion.

For anyone who has not read The Two Babylons I highly recommend it. In it he shows the roots of religion today; where it came from and how it was developed. How so many of the traditions that we hold near and dear in our religious life stem from ancient Babylon under Nimrod. That today must of the "church" is following the traditions, not of Yahweh/God of the Bible, but of Satan and his followers.

Religion today is man made and Satan based. When a religion that we choose to belong keeps pagan festivals, refuses to keep Yahweh's set apart Feast times and Sabbaths, then we can only conclude that the evil one is the one truly being worshiped.

I was at a gathering yesterday and someone asked me how I was doing getting ready for christmas. I simply said, we don't keep christmas in our house. She looked at me with wide eyes and said, oh I didn't know you were Jewish. No, I replied. I'm not Jewish. I just follow the Bible and what it says about it. Subject dropped.

In my experience, people just do not want to know the truth. I don't understand that way of thinking. I want to know the truth more than anything. The bible says in John 8:32 "and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The problem with knowing the truth is that once you know the truth you now have to act. You have the choice to either obey or disobey. It seems that most people just want to hide their heads in the sand and not know, thinking that not knowing they can just keep doing what they are doing with no consequence. Problem is with that thinking is that they will be held accountable anyway. We are expected to read His Word and know what He wants from us and to obey. Saying we didn't know is just not going to work with the Almighty Creator.

Organized religion is Satan's way of deceiving the masses. They are drugged by church services into thinking they are saved and going to heaven. My heart aches knowing that the Day is coming where those thousands and millions are going to finally know the truth and the truth, rather than setting them free, will no longer do that, but will commit them to an eternity without Yahweh. I just want people to wake up and know the truth of His Word. Read it. Over and over again. And if the church that you attend practices any of the pagan traditions that Yahweh states in His Word that He hates, get out of there as fast as you can.

Please wake up. We are in the final time of this earth and time is short. Your time to start obeying Him is almost past. Wake up and look at the world around you. See what is going on. The Bible commands us to "Watch". Many times when referring to the end of days it commands us to watch. When you watch, you know the time you are in.

If you want some good Bible reading here is a list to start you off:

Matthew 24 and 25
Jeremiah
All of the minor prophets

Read those and then tell me you don't think you need to obey Yahweh right now - today! One day it will be too late. I pray that you have ears to hear before that day comes.
