Christians, beware! Hear me clearly. John 4:24 says, God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
God is not black, God is not white, God is not African, God is not European. God is not us, and we are NOT God.
Many voices are rising, and many voices are deceiving. If your thinking is becoming convoluted by what you’re hearing, remember, God is not the author of confusion. If you have believed the gospel of Jesus Christ and it has changed your life, your thinking, your way of living, your very nature and you have the peace of God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, hold on to it. Please don’t let some new voice pull you away from the faith, which was once delivered unto the saints.
Mark 13:5-6
Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, I am he, and will deceive many.”
You will hear words like higher self; you’ll see symbols like the “ANKH”. You’ll see the “All-Seeing Eye.” The Hexagram. You will hear terms like “divine self,” CONSCIOUSNESS, astrotheology, astral projection, Kabala, Karma, Nirvana, and the divine self. You’ll hear talk about The Book of the Dead. The Illuminati. The Moors. You will hear teachings that say you are gods and in the process of becoming gods.
There are a whole lot of voices out here that pick on and expose the weakness and empty rituals of the institutional church. They joyfully dissect the ignorant religious and often pagan practices of traditional and denominational religion. They point to the Euro influence on our worship styles and vocabulary. Most of which is valid and well documented.
These attacks or exposures should not cause doubt and unbelief, but it should make Christians evaluate their practices and align themselves with the true teachings of the scriptures. We should never let anyone “new” teaching to get us to denounce or diminish the fact that the Holy Bible is the word of God. True Christians should and do believe that the Bible is from God, and it is without error in everything that it addresses. We should believe that it is inspired and inerrant.
The problem is with the proliferation of extrabiblical materials and revelations. By this, I mean teachings and concepts and practices that other groups preach that they claim to be supported or taught in the word of God but are based on incorrect interpretation. In theology, it’s called “Eisegesis.” (Reading into the text what you want it to say.) Taking scriptures out of its context to support what you want others to believe is true.
For the sake of not being “way” to long here. What we have is people picking apart the obvious discrepancies with what the Bible teaches and what we practice as Christians. They are mixing history, culture, heresy, racism and opinion with the scriptures to validate their beliefs. The result is the dismantling of true biblical Christianity and all that it represents.
I say, it’s time for us to do what Jesus said we should do. He said if we loved one another, the world would believe that the Father sent him. Jesus said, that if we fed the hungry, clothed the naked, visited the sick and the imprisoned that we would be called the righteous ones. Did I say that “God is not black, white, African or European?” God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth?”
Arguing with folk and exposing error in religious practices of sincere people is not the test of true religion. Christianity is a religion of “ALL” people. John 3:16, you know it by hard. No one is excluded.
James 1:27-James 2:1
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their and refusing to let the world corrupt you. My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you FAVOR SOME PEOPLE OVER OTHERS?
I should be in jail or hell but Jesus saved me. Not man, my intellect, my culture, my heritage or my consciousness. Jesus saved me. I’ve got proof. Do you?

2Peter 2:-3
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even deny the sovereign Lord who bought them–bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.
