The Church Is Leading You To Hell- Etcetera Writes Yet Again

Much of the church today is living a lie. Many of you have
been told continuously that you are saved and headed for heaven. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. Many of you are heading directly to hell. The
systemised lying that is going on in the church has deceived the pastors and
the people alike. It is a case of the blind leading the blind. You all need to
pray – fervently because many of you are “lost”. No matter what you call me, no
matter how you view this issue, no matter what position you have, no matter
what church you attend, you have to admit that something is wrong with the
church.

Below are eight facts why the church is leading you straight
to hell:

There is almost no evidence whatsoever that the early church
had their “services” on a Sunday. They gathered together ‘from house to house’
virtually every day! People did not dress up and “go to church.” There were no
denominations or separate groups with different ‘labels.’ They lived their
lives together – And the apostles in Jerusalem preached everyday at a huge
open-air gathering, not “hidden away” inside four walls. Church buildings do
not exist in the Bible. They were invented around 200-300 AD, when the church
was in serious decline. Church buildings are anti-New Testament, and they bring
with them a host of problems and traditions. It was when the church fell into the
hands of Rome that this concept of the “cathedral” took over. And today, we are
still spending millions building these beautiful monuments while the
worshippers are starving.

The words “prosper” or ‘prosperity’ were NEVER used by Jesus
at all – and only mentioned a few times in the entire New Testament. Yet our
greedy pastors have built kingdoms upon them. The words – “sell what you have
and give to the poor” and “deceitfulness of riches” and “you cannot serve God
and mammon” and “woe to you that are rich” were DEFINITELY used by Jesus and
the apostles, but you don’t hear them preached by your pastors, do you?

Tithing is not a New Testament practice at all. And it is
being shamefully abused by today’s preachers. In the Old Testament, tithing was
only applicable to Jews and to the land of Israel and that was at a time when a
great number of them lived in Babylon, Ammon, Moab, Egypt and Syria. As a
result of that, the land they occupied became tithe-able lands. Tithes were not
acceptable from Gentiles’ lands. So my brothers and sisters, you need to ask
your pastor why he is collecting tithes here in Nigeria. Also, the only people
authorised to receive tithes were the Levites – (Hebrews 7:5). If your pastor
is collecting tithe from you, ask him if he’s from the tribe of Levi. Even
Jesus who was a

Jew couldn’t collect tithes because he wasn’t from the tribe
of Levi but from that of Judah. And if your pastor insists that being a worker
in the lord’s vineyard qualifies him as a Levite, please remind him that Levites
had no land and did not own properties.

The Jesus of today’s church is a “Father Christmas,” a Jesus
who exists mainly for our own “happiness;” a Father Christmas who wants to rain
down continual blessings upon us; a Jesus of grace and mercy without judgement,
righteousness or truth. Our gross misrepresentation of who Jesus really is, is
one of the most serious offences of today’s church. We worship a “plastic”
Jesus – one that we have painted in our own image. What an offence to God.

What we have today are churches that are so loose that they
excuse any sin or misconduct, including homosexuality and adultery. Aren’t we
supposed to accept only the truth of God’s word? But instead, we have opted for
a modern church that is socially based, smooth and sophisticated, and presented
like a Nollywood movie with men and women of ogboni fraternity dressed in their
occultic regalia occupying special seats during services. Something is wrong!

What happened to the strong calls for repentance that
brought thousands down to the altar to repent and ask Jesus Christ to save
their souls? This is the litmus test for Christianity; it is the essence of the
Cross; it is the great commission that Jesus commanded us with. If your church
is not winning souls, then it is like a barren woman, and it is a shame.
Something is wrong!

What happened to the outpouring of the Holy Ghost? Do we
even know what it means anymore to feel the presence of the Spirit of God
descend on a service and fill up the room with holiness? Or we just love that
party atmosphere and excitement when the choir plays a boogie-down song? Or we
love to scream “ride on pastor” in the excitement we get when some charismatic
preacher works the crowd? It’s been so long we’ve felt the presence of the Holy
Spirit that we don’t know what it is anymore. Something is definitely wrong!

Lots of pastors are aware that there is something very wrong
with the church today. They know there is little ‘fear of the Lord.’ They know
there is no deep repentance or deep moving of the Holy Spirit.

They know that it is just the same old “game” being played
every week. A lot of them are very aware of this, but they will not do anything
about it. They will not rock the boat. And they will destroy anyone who comes
along trying to do something. They do not want any reforms. There is too much
to lose. They have their careers and their “kingdoms” at stake. This is the
truth of the matter. Most of you are worshippers of your pastors and not God.
Many of you are hell bound. So pray my brothers and sisters. Pray for your
souls. Let me stop here and leave room for you to call me names. But do
remember that the church is leading you to hell – not me!
