TAILOR-MADE
Today I want to write about something that I have never written before. And that is on the topic of tailor-made religion. What is a tailor-made religion? A tailor-made religion is developed by the founder(s) of a religion to fit their needs. It is a hybrid of the teachings of Jesus, the teachings of Paul, the teachings of some Old Testament prophets, and the teachings of the founder(s) of the religion. In other words, the founder(s) of the religion believe in serving multiple masters, and not only Jesus. And the leaders of the group insist that their followers must serve multiple masters. And many Christians follow them despite the warnings that Jesus gave us in Matthew 6:24. Is that not mind-boggling?
Paul has predicted his tailor-made religion in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, [because] they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn [their] ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” Later Paul fulfills his own prediction in Ephesians 2:8-9 by saying, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Is that not amazing that Paul was able to deliver his tailor-made prediction with 100% accuracy? A recent compilation lists about 39,089 Christian denominations worldwide. All, if not most of them, follow more than one master.
Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24. Jesus said that no one can serve two masters, no one. Millions of Christians, however, are serving anywhere between 2-6 masters. Is that not amazing. And they all claim that they believe in Jesus. I don’t think they believe in Jesus when they serve two or more masters. Recall that Jesus repeatedly said FOLLOW ME. Do we not understand that "ME" is singular, and not plural?
English is not my native language. My parents are not from English-speaking countries. But I know that "ME" means one. Why don’t we Americans understand that "ME" means one? If we say that we understand that "ME" means one, why on earth are we serving more than ONE Master - Jesus? Do you want to know why? Because our Bible teachers have been brainwashing us with trash since we were in kindergarten. Our church pastors have been brainwashing us with nonsense. Instead of teaching us that we should follow only Jesus, they tell us to follow what is popular. What is popular? The tailor-made religion of Paul is what many Christians are professing. Paul said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. Many Christians, including the SDA and ex-SDA members, believe in this “grace” crap. Many who are living in sin under grace cannot get out from living in sin. They will live in sin until they die under the grace of Paul.
Jesus said if we love Him we will keep His commandments. Can we do that? Can we? No, we can't. Why? Because we are serving more than one master. Paul and Jesus contradict each other. And now we are seeing millions of Christians, including the SDA, serving more than one master.
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28.
What does His voice say? Jesus' voice said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. Do we keep His commandments? No, we are not. Why? Because our Bible teachers and preachers taught us to ignore His laws and commandments. They are conspiring with Jesus’ enemies. They are in a conspiracy with Satan.
