Living in a politheistic society

What is a Polytheistic Society?

A polytheistic society is one in which people worship multiple gods and goddesses. In our modern world, we face a similar landscape; we have different religions, a multitude of denominations, and the rise of atheism and witchcraft. In such a society, religious faith becomes confused. Everyone believes they are right, and the mantra becomes "live and let live." People say, "You have your truth, and I have mine," even when those "truths" are in direct contradiction to one another.

How does this impact Christians?

Many Christians become paralyzed. They are fearful of confronting others in their errors because they might be labeled as "extremists." As a result, many become overly "open-minded," accepting and even celebrating every particular belief system. The result is ecumenism—everyone coming together in a fragile "religious harmony" while holding beliefs that are completely incompatible.

Accepting everyone's beliefs as equally valid is not love; it is cowardice. God has not called us to cowardice. Truth exists, and we must preach what is right. While we must respect every single person as a creature of God, we must also actively work to promote the truth of God as it is found in the Bible. We must boldly state that belief systems which deny Christ are false. We must preach against the lack of love in the hearts of many Christians, and we must promote Jesus Christ as the only Savior.

In a polytheistic society, we must be bold. We must confront the lies in our own hearts, the lies in our own belief systems, and the lies of society. The world wants us to be passive concerning our convictions, but we must be valiant for the truth.

If you believe in the Truth of God, preach it and proclaim it; in doing so, your own faith will strengthen. Do not wait until you "know enough" to stand for God. Preach what you know now, and as you do, the Holy Spirit will guide you into further truth.

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
