The church isn’t crumbling, it’s crumbled.
If churches aren’t busy closing up shop, the ones remaining are teaching perversion and filth. Not all and absolute of course, but my friends, organized Christianity is in dire straights.
The latest comes from the largest denomination in the world, the Catholic church.
So what happened?
Baptize The Homosexuals: Vatican
The Vatican released a letter with questions they received from one of their Bishops in Brazil.
The question was asked,
“Can a transsexual be baptized?”
To which the Vatican responded,
“A transsexual – who has also undergone hormonal treatment and sex reassignment surgery – can receive baptism, under the same conditions as other believers, if there are no situations in which there is a risk of generating public scandal or disorientation in the faithful.”
The Vatican
I know, “Woah.”
Now look…
Within our Christian faith, once you become baptized, it means you have asked God into your heart. It means you’ve had a change of heart concerning your sinful ways. It means you’re living a Christian life to the best of your ability.
Ahh, but you see my friends, in today’s world, what is a “Christian life?”
Well, it’s whatever the Bishop or pastor tells you it is.
That’s right.
We go to our pastors for everything in life.
- Mr. pastor, should I buy a house and where?
- Mr. pastor, should I buy the red or blue car?
- Mr. pastor, should we have children?
You think I’m kidding?
This is how many of the Christian faithful function in the modern church, and you wonder why the younger generation is fleeing our faith?
Come on, it’s not really that surprising, is it?
We have placed too much importance on denominational doctrine and the men who promote it. I mean, we’re having a faith-based conversation about a document from a church, instead of opening Scripture.
Isn’t that something?
This is where we are at in the year 2023.
So the Catholic church says you can become baptized if you’re a homosexual, sex flopper, or whatever you want to call it. If you sin against the God of the Bible, well then, we’ll baptize you says the Catholic church.
Have you ever wondered why some Christians will be cast into outer darkness when Jesus returns?
Well, now you have the answer.
In case you’re wondering, the Catholic church went even further. Not only can adult homosexuals and adult sex flip-floppers be baptized…
So can the children.
“In the case of children or adolescents with transsexual problems, if well prepared and willing, they can receive Baptism.”
The Vatican
“If well prepared and willing.”
What the blankity blank does that even mean?
Who cares!
Just line um up, baptize um, and pass the plate.
Look at the applause from this Jesuit priest.
Good grief.
Yet, I should note…
The Catholic church has not changed its stance, ‘homosexuality is still a sin.’
Whatever.
Oh and before you go Catholic bashing, just remember, most denominations are basically in line with the Vatican. Heck, some denominations even have homosexual pastors and priests.
They gots to be “inclusive” dontchaknow.
Organized Religion Has Failed
My Christian brothers and sisters, this is why organized religion has failed.
Long ago they gave up their faith for a few more “believers.” Instead of standing firm for God, they caved to the pressures of the world. Instead of standing for Jesus Christ, they conformed to the world, wearing their Godly apparel as if it could make them righteous.
How I’m reminded of that ol whore from Revelation 17:4.

She looks pretty dolled up too, but she’s still gonna roast in hell.
Metaphorical speaking.
The Biblical Past
Now, lest you get on some kick that this perversion within the church is some new thing, let me slap you back to reality…
2 Chronicles 36:14
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
That was thousands of years ago.
That’s right, thousands of years ago this all happened before. That was even when God was gracious enough to make His presence known before the ancient Israelites.
I hope you remember ol Manasseh…
Who “did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen”
2 Chronicles 33:1-2
Oh yeah, what kind of evil are we talking about here?
“…he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.”
2 Chronicles 33:3
He sounds like a swell guy, eh?
Baalim, that’s Baal, a false god, even symbolic of Satan himself. Mind you, these “host of heaven” are not God in Heaven, but the ‘sun and moon,’ (Deuteronomy 17:3).
That’s right.
Mankind is so foolish, we will serve creation instead of the Creator, (Romans 1:25).
We will follow the religious rites of man, and what feels good, instead of our Heavenly Father.
I hope you’re wondering, what are “groves?”
That’s,
“Asherah, Astarte, a Phoenician goddess.”
Remember her?
It’s the same Ishtar, the originator of what we call Easter today.
These false gods are, have, and been a part of the church since long ago. They were introduced and never left, we just became numb to them. Hey, the big wise pastor man said it’s all gravy, so we followed along.
Guess what else Manasseh did?
“…he built altars in the house of the LORD … he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD”
2 Chronicles 33:4-5
He built altars to false gods right in the House of Jehovah!
Take a look around my friends, not much has changed. It’s just been hidden in plain sight. Today, most of society thinks, hey, baptizing homosexuals is a good thing, it brings them to Christ.
Bull!
It brings the church into Satan’s lap.
Always has, and always will.
Ohh, ol Manasseh wasn’t done yet.
He had to step it up a notch, just like organized religion today.
“And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.”
2 Chronicles 33:6
Yeah, yeah, we don’t pass our kids through fire anymore.
We just direct them to hellfire.
Instead, we say…
- Sure, Johny, you can be a homosexual if you want!
- Sure, Betty, you can have an abortion if you want!
- Sure, kiddos, you can entertain yourself with the world’s devices!
Oh I know, I know…
It’s innocent, it’s fun, woowee!!!
Look where it’s gotten us.
Now notice, everything ol rotten Manasseh did seemed “religious.” That’s how you corrupt a righteous people. You play religion. You tell them, we’re serving God, isn’t it great?
This is what happens when we stop holding our leaders, our men of God accountable. This is what happens when we outsource our Bible reading to someone else.
Jeremiah 2:8
The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
You see?
It’s happened all before.
I could provide almost countless Bible passages where the priests of God, turned away from Him and served false gods.
If the “holy men” did that, what do you think the regular Joes were doing?
As it’s written…
2 Timothy 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
And so, the time has come…
