IF CHRISTIANITY IS TRUE, IF JESUS IS GOD, THE DIVINE SON OF PSALM 2 AND ISAIAH 9. 6, AS WE CHRISTIANS INSIST...
THERE IS STILL A HUGE PROBLEM!!
THE SCRIPTURES TELL US THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE CHURCH. YET CHRISTIANS HAVE DIVIDED AND SUBDIVIDED CHRISTIANITY INTO THOUSANDS OF SEPARATE DENOMINATIONS.
HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE YOU FIND A CHURCH WHICH WILL LEAD YOU TO HEAVEN?
HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET ENSNARED BY A FALSE CHURCH LOST IN HERESY WHICH DRAGS PEOPLE DOWN TO ETERNAL PERDITION?
FOR EXAMPLE...
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS EITHER LOST IN HERESY OR ELSE IT IS NOT LOST IN HERESY.
THE EASTERN ORTHODOX EITHER LEADS PEOPLE TO HEAVEN OR ELSE IT DOESN'T LEAD PEOPLE TO HEAVEN.
THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS EITHER LEAD PEOPLE TO PERDITION OR ELSE THEY DON'T LEAD PEOPLE TO PERDITION.
THE MORMONS ARE EITHER LOST IN HERESY OR ELSE THEY AREN'T LOST IN HERESY...
LET'S LOOK AT LOGIC WHICH SAYS IT IS INSANITY TO PROMOTE MORE THAN ONE CHURCH.
A street preacher goes to a park and tells people that only the Church of England leads people to Heaven. He says all other churches are false churches lost in heresy and so they drag people down to eternal perdition. He meets Roman Catholics and Lutherans, Presbyterians and Baptists, Mormons and Eastern Orthodox believers etc. These Christians are offended by his preaching. They hate his message that only the Church of England leads people to Heaven. They hate hearing that every other Christian denomination is a false church which drags people down to eternal perdition.
The animosity the Anglican preacher receives causes him to capitulate. He changes his tune and declares the Church of England, and the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Presbyterians, and the Methodists, the Mormons, the SBC, the ELCA etc. are all churches which lead people to Heaven.
This is insanity because...
The Church of England either leads people to Heaven or else the Church of England doesn't lead people to Heaven. The Church of England is either God's True Church or else it isn't.
If the Church of England is lost in heresy and leads people to perdition, if it is a false church, not the True Church, then when you tell people the Church of England will lead them to Heaven - when it will drag them down to eternal perdition - then you are leading those people away from Heaven and to perdition. So, you are a heretic on the road to perdition.
But if the Church of England leads people to Heaven, if it is God's True Church, then you should promote only the Church of England. It would be taking a hellish risk to promote churches other than the Church of England. Your eternal soul will go to perdition if one or more of these other churches you are pushing is a false church.
If you assure people that a specific church will lead them to Heaven, when in fact that church will drag them down to eternal perdition, then you are leading those people away from Heaven and to perdition - so you are lost in heresy and are on the road to perdition.
Those of us who are Christians are waiting for the Antichrist to show up. 2 Thess 2 says this happens prior to the Second Coming of Christ.
And we're waiting for the 3 angels from Heaven mentioned in Revelation 14. 6-11 to show up. No doubt they will lead people to the True Church.
And we're waiting for the Great Tribulation and the economic collapse prophesied to occur in Revelation 18.
And then there.is the Conversion of the Jews, recall Ezekiel 36. 24-28, Daniel 12. 1, Zachariah.12. 10 etc.
As I say in my Smashwords / Draft2Digital bio my books have become like rough drafts. They are not obsolete. They are still worth reading. But the 39 descriptions of my 39 You Tube playlists are more polished productions.
