Only the Truth can Save our Children

God is not the Author of religion; He never was and He never will be. He is the Author of truth. Satan is the author of religion, introducing it to man in the Garden of creation. It is a belief system based on one form of a lie or another, which may or may not recognize God’s existence, but it will always culminate in denying His truth and His power.
The term of liberalism also applies to the lie, insofar as it severs man from God’s truth. The word liberalism suggests the notion of freedom and liberty, but it is, perhaps, the most binding word in the English language, used to describe something, which is increasingly progressive and aggressive, as is leaven in a loaf of bread. It is the counterfeit of liberty and most definitely is the route to captivity and death.
It is in truth, the basis for liberty, that man finds his being in God; in religion, the basis for liberalism, man becomes a captive of Satan. In truth, God speaks to man; it is with lies that Satan does the talking. Both speak into the spirit of man. One will open the door to life for him while the other will open the door to death. Religion of any shape, sort or kind has no place with God. He states categorically, four times in Scripture, that He is the God of truth (Deuteronomy 32:4; Psalm 31:5; and twice in Isaiah 65:16).
If one has any doubt about the religious nature of Christianity, then take a good look at the gargoyles planted on the faces of the stone cathedrals of Europe and America! Take a close look at the would-be high priests of the various denominations! The Pope claims inerrancy, the Archbishop of Canterbury is tied into Druidism, and the Moderator of the United Church of Canada, Bill Phipps, went so far as to deny the divinity of Jesus – all as the leaders within denominations of the same religion of Christianity, so-named for the name of Christ.
Denominations are divisions, which arise from differing religious theologies and practices. In America, almost without exception, even to the present day, our political leaders have embraced Christianity of one sort or another while leading governments to pass laws, which rule God out of our two nations. They legislate laws, which forbid the mention of the name of Jesus while the church pew huggers utter not a sound of protest. They are the religious Pharisees of today, the priesthood of Christianity, who are rejecting truth for religion, as did the priesthood of Judaism reject Jesus.
The apostle Paul would never grace the doors of the institutional churches of Christianity except to soundly denounce their apostasy. You may well call yourself a Christian, only to indicate you are a son of the beast, as did the Pharisees of whom Jesus stated their father was the devil. Were they religious men? They were very good religious men who could recite the entire Torah verbatim. Did they believe in God? They did so most religiously, just as their father, the devil, believed in God. But He was the Son of Man and the Son of God, called Jesus, Who rejected Satan’s lies and his lures to embrace only truth, Whom they would not believe.
I have chosen the way of truth (Psalm 119:30); All Your commandments are truth (Psalm 119:151); the Scripture of Truth (Daniel 10:21); “teach the way of God in truth” (Matthew 22:16); “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24); “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32); “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;” (John 16:13); who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4); for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle – I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying – a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth (1 Timothy 2:7); of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures (James 1:18).
What a sham the religion of Christianity has been throughout the church age! For whom has it been a light and to what does it testify with its priests wearing elaborate costumes and forcing submission of the laity to the Nicolaitan system? The immorality, corruption and killings carried out in the name of Jesus, have been too numerous to count. Yet, within the Christian church system, a remnant of the true church has always been entombed behind its walls.
However, before God calls His true church to be His witnesses in these final hours before the judgment falls on wicked men in rebellion to Him, it must be separated from the religious pack and washed clean by the Word of truth, just as Jesus washed His apostles with the truth. That truth can only come from Him and not from the doctrines or philosophies of man.
Only truth will reign on the throne occupied by Jesus and His bride. And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely (Revelation 22:17). “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6).”
Why are the Prime Ministers of Canada and the Presidents of the United States sworn into office on the Bible? Because the constitutions of both nations embrace the truth of God’s Word and Him, as Supreme Ruler in Whom the two nations trust. Therefore, it must also follow that they trust in the Bible, for the Bible itself declares Jesus is the Word made flesh and He is also the truth. Isaiah states that he who swears, shall swear by the God of truth: “And he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth (Isaiah 65:16).”
How is it that these same two men, both sworn into office on the Bible, do not insist that all children study the Bible if they are to be taught truth? Do they truly stand on their faith or are they hypocrites and men of pretense? The courts have failed to protect our children and grant them the same rights to the Bible for their foundation of truth, as they grant to our leaders. It is the duty of Parliament and Congress to uphold this right of the children, just as they enjoy the right to pray publicly to God and refer to the Bible whenever it pleases, especially in times of trouble, such as we are experiencing now.
This is the single most important issue, bar none, for the future of America. Will we or will we not, as men of truth, give truth back to our children? It is the one and only answer for the survival of America. Either the nation will embrace the truth and live, or it will embrace the lie and die. There can no longer be a double standard whereby our children become the victims of political hypocrisy.
