Bible Worship vs. True Christianity

“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of me, and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.” - Jesus Christ (John 5:39-40)

The Bible is like a finger pointing towards Jesus. What happens when you try to point something out to a dog? He looks at your finger, of course. And that is what most of the Christian church is doing today - they study the finger, they talk about the finger, they do everything but pray to the finger, which is why the church has lost its way. Much of the fuel for the “positive atheism” movement comes from disgust at the greed, hypocrisy, and mindlessness of the modern church. Bible worship is idolatry, and people like Ted Haggard have done more to advance the cause of atheism than Richard Dawkins could ever do.

A word to the “fundamentalists”: Look in the mirror and ask yourself who you most resemble: the apostles who died for Jesus, or the Pharisees who killed Him? The Pharisees were the “fundamentalists” of their day.

“A dog returns to its own vomit.” 2 Peter 2:22

“Come out of her, my people, so that you do not take part in her sins, and so that you do not share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” —Revelation 18:4-5
