We Should Know Better...
"Oh, the Bible! To be sure, it says a great many such things; but, then, nobody ever thinks of doing them... nobody does. ~Henrique St. Clare, Uncle Tom's Cabin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I thought that I should take a break from attacking our corrupted media for a change. I'm going to write on something completely different this time, something new. I'm going to write about the sad failure of a great and strong race, the race who call themselves Christians.
---------------------------------------------
Don't get me wrong, I am a 'Christian', and I believe in God, that he created the world, and that his son is Jesus, and that he died for me on Calvary, to take away my sins.
But I also believe that Satan is strong, and that he has many resources.
From the beginning, Satan has attacked God, as stated in the Bible. When he realized that attacking God doesn't pay off, he went for a new type of attack, an attack against God's children, an attack that pays off a little better for him.
Satan has worked, and created many new types of 'Religions', one of the most destructive to the Christians being Mormonism. But Satan does not just attack Christians by making false religions. He also attacks them from the inside. He made a new religion, and the religion is called, 'Christianity', if you follow me.
There are four types of Christianity, and I will list each of them, so that you know what I am speaking of later in this post.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The first type of Christianity is the Christians who say, "I am a Christian, so vote for me Tuesday!"
The first type of Christianity says, "I'm a Christian, just so that the world will think better of me, and so that the Christians will think I'm a great person.
2. The second type of Christian is the Plastic Christian. "I have a Jesus T-Shirt, and Jesus music, so I'm obviously a Christian!". The second type says, "Since I have Jesus merchandise, that must mean that I am a Christian, so I can go to heaven!"
3. The third type of Christian is the one who has gone to Sunday school all his or her life, and knows all the Bible stories, and has said with his lips, "I love God, please come into my heart". This type of Christian pretty-much believes, "Since I go to church, I'm saved!"
4. The fourth type of Christian says, "I believe in God, and I love him with my heart. I am so inspired by the greatness of God and his love for me, that I will follow him with all my heart, mine, and soul!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth Christian is a true Christian, the true follower of God. The other three are not true Christians.
Satan has morphed even the Christians themselves, so that they are not truly following God, but him. It is sad, because these people believe that they are going to heaven, and that they're following God, yet if they're only considering themselves Christians because they go to church, or wear a bracelet that says WWJD on it, then they are not truly following God, but instead, believing Satan's lies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The true Christian's nightmare is confronting a Mormon about faith. I will explain...
A Mormon has very very very high morals. They know how to be humble, modest, joyful, dedicated, peaceful, etc.
A Christian must live a very very very pure life to confront a Mormon and say, "Your religion is not the true one."
The Mormon religion is very similar to the Christian one. Satan morphed the Christian religion into Mormonism, and that is why it's so similar to Christianity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Satan has attacked us Christians, so that so many people go out and say, "I am a Christian", not caring what type of lifestyle they are living.
So, I personally know three men who say, "I am a Christian,", and yet, at home, chew tobacco.
I can list three 'Christian' women who wear low-cut shirts and dresses every other week to church or at home. And unfortunately, two of these 'Christian' women are married, and one is about to be married.
Another place where I find a source of false Christians is on TV. A very famous singer, Jordin Sparks, claims to be a Christian, and yet she can't resist wearing a low-cut dress while on TV.
And then...
Enter the Mormons to make the Christian battle harder...
While we have these 'Christians' messing up all over the place, not only in their homes, but on national TV, we have Mormons living a pure, perfect lifestyle.
Brooke White, my favorite American Idol contestant, is a Mormon. I have carefully watched her since Hollywood week, and I have not seen one bit of her body. She is very careful about how modest she is.
David Archuleta, another Mormon/American Idol contestant, is very humble, happy, peaceful, pure... unlike alot of Christians I know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We as Christians need to take a stand. We need to stop living for ourselves. You might think that it doesn't matter if you mess up, and that no one will see, but they are wrong. People will see. They are not only hurting themselves, but all Christians.
We cannot let the Mormons come out and win over the world with their religion, because it is not true! If we live our lifestyles in worldly ways, will the world be blown away by us? Will they want to switch to Christianity?
We as Christians need to do better than this. We need to grow up, and take the responsibility that it takes to show the world that our faith is the one true faith, and that our God is the one true God.
I'll end my post with a challenge. Which Christian are you? Are you a Christian just because you go to church? Are you a Christian because you know all the hymns, because you wear Icthus Fish earrings? Are you a Christian who gives in to the twisting lies of Satan?
Or are you a Christian who follows God, and lives your life purely, so that the world may know that we are Christians?
Which are you?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
One last thing. If you are a Mormon, and are viewing this blog, please note that I am not attacking you, nor do I think you are evil. I am just stating facts on Mormonism in general. I am not picking on any one person.
