Interesting subject when people believe in man. Scientology is growing among many of the rich, mainly because it’s a rich mans religion, you have to have wealth to join. Has nothing to do with God because they believe they become gods themselves. How many of these non-religions people become trapped into this? Look at Alton LaVey, a high school dropout, inherited his home from his parents and now had many followers, some among movie stars. He seeked the ones who mock Christians and looked for what he called free-seekers or thinkers. No his place was not tax exempt but got a lot of financial support. He also made it clear you don’t have to send money, of course that was his plan to receive money. He was smart, (had no wisdom) but knew non-believers would love and support him just to try and scare the so-called Christians. What they didn’t know it that he did actually worship satan but only revealed it to the ones higher up. People can be so blind.

One of the most disturbing was Jim Jones to me as a Christ follower. I guess because I was in college at this time and could see his evil. He told his followers what they wanted to hear. His followers of many walks of life believed he was their father, brother and some God himself. Just like Manson, he knew beforehand his members weaknesses.

How many of you non-religious and religious follow man? From the works of Darwin to a Preacher that doesn’t follow the words but only tell them what they want to hear to keep the collection plate full. Christians be careful of groups or organizations that you have to keep secrets. Too many wolfs today in sheep’s clothing and many join Church buildings to cause discern and separation.

For Christians keep your eyes on the Master and let no man deceive you. Don’t fight about petty things, remember true Christians believe Jesus died on the cross to save us, rose again and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Give Him your heart and soul, get forgiveness of your sins and let no one on this earth tell you, you are not a child of God. Seek His wisdom and not mans.
