Those who Worship Gentile gods
Since the
scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35), everyone will be judged according to
their deeds according what is written in the book (Rv 20:12).
Physical
Israel came out of Egypt and entered the land of Canaan. Once there, they
followed King Solomon into the worship of gentile gods. In doing so, the nation
was divided in two; the 11 tribes of Israel in the North and the 1 tribe of
Judah in the South. Soon after this division, both Judah and Jerusalem were
conquered by gentiles (refer to 1 Kgs 11; Dt 5; Is 1; Rv 13).
The first
of God’s commandments tells us not to worship other gods before him (Ex 20:3).
The second forbids the making of any image or idol for worship (Ex 20:4-6).
Solomon worshipped many other gods because of the influence of his concubines,
and in doing so, Israel became a gentile nation. Israel even remained under the
control of gentiles until Jesus came.
Today, it
has been a long time since the Protestant churches emerged from the Catholic
Church when they had grown corrupt. Among the people of the Protestant
churches, can anyone who worships other gods like King Solomon or the people at
the first tabernacle in Rev 13 be saved? Are they any better than the Catholic
churches who were corrupt? If you are not going to have the correct and true
faith, what is the point of carrying and meditating on the Bible?
If people
who worship gentile gods pretend to know who is orthodox and who is a cult, who
can believe them? Let us believe according to the Bible so that we can attain
salvation. Today within the world of believers, there are denominations that
are worshiping gentile gods and denominations that persecute other churches as
cults (while claiming themselves to be orthodox). These denominations force
members of other churches to convert to their style of faith and to attend only
their church. Should we change?
