The Demon of Religion

Religion.

The greatest Divider and Destroyer of Team Jesus.

Religion.

Satan’s greatest weapon of destruction--destroy Team Jesus from the inside.

Through Religion.

Delight in Team Jesus fighting amongst themselves about Jesus.

Distract Team Jesus from the REAL enemy.

Debate The Truth within the same team.

Divide Team Jesus.

The Demon of Religion.

He’s real.

He’s powerful.

He’s cunning.

He’s ruling the earth.

He’s leading the churches.

He’s a Master of Lies and Deception.

He’s mingling The Truth with The Philosophies of Men.

He’s captured Team Jesus.  And they don’t even know it.

The Demon of Religion holds Team Jesus in bondage through:

·         false doctrines

·         false beliefs

·         false popes

·         false prophets

·         false priests

·         false idols

·         false teachings

·         false covenants

·         false worship

What group of people did Jesus denounce the most harshly AND the most frequently?

Religion.

Religious Leaders.

The Scribes and the Pharisees.

Read Matthew 23 with the 8 "Woes" Jesus pronounced upon them.

And today would be no different.

The Demon of Religion is stronger, more powerful and more widespread than ever before.

Religion is Evil.

Religion is Anti-Christ.

Churches are Anti-Christ.

Why?

Because churches teach you (make you believe):

It’s the Religion that saves you.

It’s the doctrine of that religion that saves you.

It’s the church of that religion that saves you.

It’s the ordinances in the church of that religion that save you.

And yes, even “Christianity” is a religion.

So how do you defeat the Demon of Religion?

There’s only One Way.

Jesus.

Come to Jesus.

Follow Jesus.

Learn of Jesus.

Learn from Jesus.

Listen to Jesus.

Accept Jesus.

Accept ONLY Jesus as your Savior.

Religion can’t save you.

Churches can’t save you.

Temples can’t save you.

Ordinances can’t save you.

Covenants can’t save you.

Doctrine can’t save you.

Callings can’t save you.

Scriptures can’t save you.

Service can’t save you.

Only Jesus can save you.

Only. Jesus.

At least that’s what Jesus says in John 14:6:

"No one comes to the Father except through me."

In other words, you will not and cannot get to The Father thru:

·         a religion

·         a church

·         a temple

·         an ordinance

·         a covenant

·         a pope

·         a prophet

·         a priest

·         or anything or anyone else.

Impossible.  Can’t be done.

At least according to Jesus.

He’s the Only Way back Home.

No matter how many heavens or degrees you believe in.

Every single person MUST go through Jesus.

He is The Way.  The Only Way. The Only Path.

And anything or anyone you put in between you getting to Jesus is an ANTI-CHRIST, no matter the intention, no matter the belief, no matter what the person calls themself.

No one trumps the Words of Jesus.

At least for me.

And Jesus has clearly declared His doctrine and what is “required” to be saved.

It’s simple and straight forward:

1 – Repent

2 – Believe in Me (Jesus) / Become as a little child

3 – Be baptized in my name [not into a church]

4 – Be saved / inherit the Kingdom of God

[see Mark 16:16 and 3 Nephi 11:31-39]

And here’s the “litmus test,” especially for Mormons, from Jesus to know if something is coming from the Demon of Religion instead of Him:

“whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil, and is not built upon my rock.” 3 Nephi 11:40

OH HOW THE DEMON OF RELIGION HAS DECLARED MORE THAN THIS!!

OH HOW THE DEMON OF RELIGION HAS MADE US BELIEVE THAT MORE IS REQUIRED TO BE SAVED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Shall I list the “more”??!!

Perhaps in another post…

For now, just recognize that the Demon of Religion is:

- destroying Team Jesus from the inside

- making you believe it's the religion that saves you

- making you believe there's only "one true church" that saves you

- making you believe there is "more" that is required to be saved than only Jesus

- keeping you in spiritual bondage with the "more"

- deceiving you that there is another "covenant path" to Heaven other than Jesus

- using the titles of "prophet" and "apostle" to deceive

For me, I always ask, "What does Jesus say about this?"

For me, NO ONE trumps the words of Jesus.

Not even Paul in the New Testament.

And definitely not Joseph Smith.

BE GONE FROM ME, DEMON OF RELIGION!!

I RENOUNCE YOU AND CAST YOU OUT OF ME!!!

I belong to Jesus.

I listen to Jesus.

I believe Jesus.

Only Jesus.
