Subtle Deception

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. no one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

The wisdom of man,
To God, it's foolishness.
For man does all that he can,
To attain perceived holiness.

Christ has shown the way,
But subtle Deception came,
God's grace was shelved away,
Man was lost in Religion's game.

Paid masses, rosaries, and prayers,
Priests' and sisters' sacrifices,
NEVER save souls here and after,
Nor guarantee heaven to receivers.

There is NO purgatory,
Christ never said there was.
There's hell and heaven, no transitory
Passage to "cleanse" one's soul and pass.

If one could gain heaven by those things
Why then did Christ die on the Cross?
If man can save another human being
From the curse of hell and eternal loss?

And how many prayers must we buy
To save our loved ones from purgatory?
And what ASSURANCE , you and I
Have that indeed they have passed on to glory?

So what about those who cannot pay-
Prayers they need for the dead to be said,
Will their loved ones suffer decay,
The fires of hell only the poor will dread?

After death there is no more "saving",
No more cleansing, just God's judgment.
Man is destined for just one dying,
The present and NOW is the time to repent.

No, we do not pray for the dead-
Our prayers are for the LIVING!
He who believes has eternal life,
A Truth the Bible has been revealing.

Father, I pray with all my heart,
That all of us will see Your Way,
That only through faith in Jesus imparts
The GRACE that saves us from hell TODAY.








" I Am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me will live even though he dies, and whosoever lives and believes in Me, will never die. Do you believe this?"

JOHN 11:25-26

A spiritually wonderful piece filled with the wisdom of the ages. Why indeed did Jesus die for us.......

Be always safe,
Karen

Grew up Catholic, and this was one of my main questions - why were we going to a priest - A MAN - when we could go direct to the Source, repent and be forgiven? And know it, because He said it: it is done. Excellent write, Cynthia.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Somewhere, someone, told us that we can expect the arrival of the Antichrist.
Remembering Soviet Union 22 million of dead by starvation, was he there?
Remembering Auschwitz gassed to dead, was he there?
Remembering Rwanda killed by machete dismemberment, was he there?
Isn't Mammon the Antichrist?

Amen. I believe there is a hidden message in here and from experience I do believe I know what it is. Very well said Cynthia, in a subtle but difinitive way too.
