Does God hate religion?


Yes, God hates man-made religions!Does God hate religion?


Yes, God hates man-made religions!


Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in there distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

You´re right about breaking down denominational barriers, because God doesn´t have a denomination. He has a body of believers, a holy nation. We are his people, purchased for God by the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 1:5 He does not live in temples (churches) built by man. Acts 17:24

There is a movement under the guise of ´Unity´ called ´Ecumenicalism.´ This is not the unity that Christ was talking about. We are not to unite with anyone or any denomination who brings a different gospel, other than the one the bible preaches. Paul tells us this in 2 Corinthians 11:4 and in Galatians 1:6-12 (Here, he warns us not to accept any other gospel, other than the one he teaches us, even if an angel from heaven preaches it, he said they are to be eternally condemned.)

Although the Roman Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is Lord and Savior, they annul it by teaching there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church. They are also among the people Jesus spoke about in Revelations 2:6. Jesus said, he hates the practices of the ´Nicolaitans.´ These teachers of the law used their high positions to lord it over the lay people, which Paul said, they were NOT to do.

Besides the overt and shameless practice of idolatry, their greatest abomination and error is usurping the Authority of Christ´s position, as ´Head of the Church,´ and that of the ´Holy Scriptures.´ For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men- 1 Timothy 2:5-6.

According to the scriptures, Christ is the Head of the Body, not the Pope. Only God and His Word is infallible, not the Pope. He usurps Christ´s position, and he lets people worship him. He sits on a throne and His kingdom is of this world. Even the angels who are higher than man, wouldn´t let God´s servants worship them. Rev. 22:8-9

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

If you point these things out to your brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus.... 1 Timothy 4:1-6

There are many, many other false teachings, the abomination of worshipping the Queen of Heaven, Jeremiah 44....ensnaring people by the wearing of veils, Ezekiel 13:21....selling the bodies and souls of men, Revelation 18:13 ie... Mass cards, give us money and we´ll pray for your loved one´s souls to shorten their time in Purgatory. Purgatory doesn´t exist, they made it up, another example of a different gospel. Teaching the people to worship idols, when God forbids it. Exodus 20:4-6. Tells us not to make an idol in the FORM of ANYTHING, do not bow down to it and worship it. The Eucharist is an idol and the scriptures tell us that ´food does not bring us near to God.´ 1 Corinthians 8:8

JESUS´S BLOOD BROUGHT US NEAR TO GOD. Ephesians 2:13,14, 18. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace... For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

The Roman priests are among the Pharisees whom Jesus rebuked in the gospels. Matthew chapter 23

I´m not attacking anyone. I know most of you love the Lord with all your heart. I´m not attacking the Catholic church. I am exposing the lies they teach. They are teaching another gospel.

If you go to a priest, or the Pope himself, and tell him you´re trusting in Jesus alone for your salvation, you´re certain that you´re going to heaven because of Jesus´ sacrifice, and you tell him you don´t need the Catholic church anymore.... He would condemn you as a heretic, and say you are anathema (accursed). You would be excommunicated like I was.

I want people to know the truth. I want them to know the JESUS of the BIBLE, not the Jesus of man´s traditions and imaginations. Jesus said, " Why do you break the command of God for the sake of your traditions?" Matt. 15:6, Col 2:8 and Mark 7:8

Jesus said, " They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men." Matt. 15:9

I am a priest. I am an ambassador for Christ. 2 Cor. 5:20

Christ commanded me to preach the True Gospel and make disciples of all men. I must obey him.

I do it with fear and trembling! I am afraid of man and the rejection of man, but I pray that through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I will always fear God more, so that I will always obey him and his will, not the will of man.

My question to you, or I should say...Jesus´ loving question to you is this; WHO are you putting your faith in?

Jesus and his commandments, or the Catholic Church and their traditions?

If you are Catholic and born-again, then YOU are a priest of God too! And you have the same commission from Jesus Christ, to tell others the true gospel, and free them from the false doctrines of all denominations. Galatians 5:1

When one of the experts in the law accused Jesus of insulting him, Jesus replied, "And woe to you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them...woe to you experts in the law, because you have TAKEN AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE. (The Catholic Church claims to have the keys to the Kingdom!) You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering. Luke 11:46, 52 Notice, Jesus didn´t holler at their followers, he didn´t blame those who were trying to enter. He blamed all the TEACHERS of the Law. The Rulers of the Sanhedrin, Priests, Sadducees, Pharisees, and Teachers.

I spent many, many hours researching the history of the Catholic church and comparing my findings with what the word of God teaches. I can tell you, I found TWO different gospels. Only one was right.


Please research this yourself and ask the Lord if it´s
true. He will tell you. He loves you so much! You are precious to Him!

Jesus says, "Come out of her my people, so that you will not share in her sins." Rev. 18:4

Put your trust in Jesus and him alone, because he is able to save completely all those who come to God through Him. Hebrews 7:25

He is the Good Shepherd who takes care of His flock. To Him be the glory forever.

I love you all in Christ´s love,
