Are You Eating at the Wrong Table?
For two thousand years Churchianity—the religion of those devoted to their churches as opposed to Christ—engaged in what modern market theory commonly labels “substitute goods”.
The commercial concept is simply this: If you as a customer can’t get—or for some personal or corporate reason—wish to boycott, say, a popular wholesale chicken supply chain you will substitute their goods with alternative merchandise—a similar replacement product.
If you sense that this wholesale chicken supply chain is ripping you off by providing substandard water-logged chicken from South America you might wish to substitute such goods with Fat Aunt Betsy’s [FAB’s] local city trash-heap, “free range”, scurvy-laden chicken, ground fine, pulped, reconstituted and bulked with 10% recycled cardboard, with a good dollop of hydrogenated pork fat and chemical flavoring. It looks similar, tastes nearly the same, and costs, perhaps, a little less. These fabulously formulated “FAB Free-Range Chicken Patties” become your “substitute goods”. [In this case, really, “substitute BADS”!]
“Substitute goods” are not necessarily just physical products. It can also be services—schools, gyms, clubs, supermarkets, etc. Even Governments can be changed or “substituted” if the populace become smart enough in the interim to realise their previous election error!
“Substitute goods” are thus replacement products or services similar enough to that which it is replacing which will still satisfy the already commercially perverted and jaded taste buds of the end users.
Churchianity have, analogously, substituted divine biblical “goods” for church invented doctrinal “bads”. Churchianity engaged fully in the “substitute goods” marketing ploys of unscrupulous "doctors" of “divine” doctrines.
The market becomes saturated with “Purpose Driven” churches when they SUBSTITUTE God’s PURPOSE for their own CORPORATE PURPOSE. Churchianity revel in New York best seller, “Your Best Life NOW” uwhen author Osteen SUBSTITUTED God’s GOODS for a myopic version of his own teleological views, not Christ’s. Elsewhere a crazed preacher yells, glazed eyed and sputum spraying, “Pray in The Name”, when he himself does not know "the Name"!
The end users—the church membership—believe, on the basis of the information supplied and promises made by ruthlessly unprincipled, plainly deceived or ignorant product manufacturers (the clergy), that the replacement product is similar, if not better, than the ORIGINAL CHRIST-APOSTOLIC PRODUCT it replaces! The gospel of the KINGDOM OF GOD is replaced with the fluff of the jolly jesters who travel through space to the very throne of God to return with an earth shattering message from Christ: ”I am coming soon!” Does Christ need to angelically teletransport an overfed comedian all the way through the galaxies to bring Churchians a message as old as Revelation 1:3?
Dishonest manufacturers, marketers and racketeers of goods in this corrupt society, under the guise of false promises and delusional deceits, as in our imaginary chicken analogy, conceal the artificial, the non-kosher, and the poisonous ingredients of their products with scientific verbiage. Similarly the clerical-churchian doctrinal mix-masters create acceptable “substitute goods” by use of technical terms which sound deeply spiritual, learned, and highly revelatory—and artificially boosted and artistically embellished with their vain visions and quickie trips to heaven, thus being perceived as holier than any other earthlings.
The Pagan Churchian cabal are masters at this horrifying spiritual mix of demonism superimposed upon biblical teaching. When, from the first century, and particularly after the fake conversion of Constantine in the fourth century, the substitute church wished to swell its numbers, it adopted the Babylonian-Roman pagan custom of providing substitute goods—satisfactory counterparts—in its religious schemata. As the pagans had gods for days, events, professions, and seasons the Roman Church made the new “converts” welcome by providing them with similar gods—“SAINTS”—who could protect them, provide “good luck” and make them successful. Days, events, professions and seasons that sounded SIMILAR TO the pagan demon gods they worshipped in their heathen religion were introduced in their Churchian devotions to make them feel welcome in “Christianity”. They happily served their demon-gods in syncretic synchronization. Apollo was renamed St Apolinaris; the goddess Victoria became St Victoire; the Egyptian idol Osiris became St Onuphris; Artemis [which is “the great goddess Diana that fell down from Jupiter”, Acts 19:35] Rome “christened” St Artimedos.
The “substitute go[o]ds” became so plentiful that “by the 10th century 25 000 saints had been canonized by Rome”. The Popes continue the tradition to this day. How else can one explain “Saint” Clare for television!? These “saints” are “replacement go[o]ds” for the heathen, the superstitious and gullible, who needed thousands of gods to satisfy their every fear, desire, and capricious impulse.
Doctrinally considered, the spiritual shamans of Churchianity have provided a burbling witches’ brew with unbelievable toxic ingredients. Think of concepts like “replacement theology”; Pre-tribulation, Mid-tribulation and Post-tribulation. Who will be affected? And when? What about “Theodicy”? Grace? Are the doctrines of Election and Predestination understood or is it a cardinal discombobulated confusion? The incomprehensible Trinity still remains a mystery to laity and clerics alike. Its senselessness is manifest in the billions of words learned scholars have uttered in ink and voice to pretend comprehension. They have created a “substitute”—a being—for a force common to both Father and Son, despite the bible’s silence about such a “third person” in the Godhead!
What about the Preterists—or “half-Preterists”? Are the Chiliasts wrong? Dispensationalists assume the former to be the latter end of the presumed seven biblical ages from Adam to the Millennium. Or, is a “dispensation” simply a Papal permit to do what is morally reprehensible? Is it Pre-, Post- or A-millennialism? Is the millennium past or is yet future? Where will the “saved” spend the millennium, in heaven or on the earth? Will the earth be burned up and remain so for a thousand years—or are there still “few men left”? [Isaiah 24:6d—a portion of scripture some large denomination will never quote!] What about 1844? Or 1975? Or 2000AD? When will probation end? [With the population explosion it seems like it will be a perpetual experimentation!] Are there two Armageddons, or just one? Are Atonements of Israel reconcilable with the Atonement sacrifice of Christ? Are we forgiven and given victory over sin or just forgiven without expecting victory? Is it Yahweh, Yehovah, Yehuwah or any of the other 50-plus variations of the Tetragrammaton? Is it Geneva’s well-nurtured TULIP or the “root in a dry land … without beauty”?
Is eternity spent in heaven? On earth? As separate living beings or reabsorbed spirits into nothingness? Is earth to be burnt up for eternity or recreated? Do we have souls or are we souls? What about the spirit in man? Or, “the spirits in prison”?
Is holiness wrapped in a cassock, housed in a monastery, manifest in celibacy, and fed on fasting’s? Or, does it dress in twenty thousand dollar suits, fly around in eighty million dollar jets and reside in hundred million dollar mansions, living on caviar, crab and Champaign? All such contradictory lifestyles seemingly find theological justification within scripture. The brew keeps a-boiling as more products are added to the replacement goods—newly cross-fertilised ingredients grown in sewer water, and strange foods from the east. The smorgasbord of potent poisonous mingling and intermingling is enough to engender indigestion and spiritual constipation from here to eternity.
Churchianity’s litany of contradictions—some dreamt up by insane, intoxicated, and unstable minds—are still being debated and warred over by zealots worldwide. Ecumenism is a humanly devised deceptive effort to resolve a deeply dividing spiritual problem. The renewed Catholicism will not be a return to biblical truth, that’s why ecumenism will be destroyed by Christ at his return!
Some credulous souls think that churches do not invent and produce BAD SPIRITUAL PRODUCTS simply because they see some panjandrum prelate pompously sashay between prie-dieu and podium in a colourful pagan, symbol-bedecked costume ready each “day of the Sun” to re-enact the rites of paganism in a fake “Christian” cloth under a fake pagan cross. For instance, the surplice—the priests white outer garment—was the vestment of pagan priests adopted by the apostate church as part of their formal vestures.
The Eternal God sees the religio-ecclesiastical circus quite differently from ear-tickling, politically correct, socially pleasant prelates who offer their mixed spiritual fare. Speaking of the religious fare of his own people Israel who “purchased” substitute goods from the surrounding heathen nations, the God of Israel declares that religiously considered the spiritual “fake food” created by the priests and pastors of His own covenant nation is nothing but VILE VOMIT!
Isa 28:7-8 states unambiguously: “ … the priest and the prophet have erred [in teaching] through strong drink [convincing, clever, deceitful doctrinal teachings], they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way [they stagger and stumble doctrinally, they are unsure and fall] through strong drink; they err in vision [they declare false visions—in other words, they are plainly liars!], they stumble in judgment [they render wrong theological opinions and teachings]. For all tables [where they serve their religious smorgasbord, all their teachings, and their sacrificial “Communion” or “Eucharist”] are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.”
The Eternal God has no reason to be politically correct, diplomatic, or sweetly sanctimonious in his castigation of a people who have been derailed religiously by their ministers, pastors, priests, popes, prelates and seminarian professors.
“Thy word is TRUTH!” [John 17:17]. And as Christ stated in this same verse: “Sanctify them through thy truth…” Sanctification of God’s people cannot come through “substitute goods”—substitute teachings from the heathen shamans, philosophers and witches as Pope Francis has intimated in recent times.
Paul declared: “Let God be true, but every man a liar…” Who are the liars? Christ, who said he would be in the grave three days and three nights, or the Churchians who declare he was in the grave two nights and one day? “… as it is written, That thou might be justified in thy sayings…” [See Romans 3:4].
Isaiah 28:7-8 is a justified saying of the Eternal. He determines what is right or wrong, pure or impure, genuinely kosher or “substitute goods”. He determines doctrine. And He states that the religious tables of even his covenant people, the elect twelve-tribe nation, Israel [wherever they are, and whatever religious format they follow---Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism. Reformism], are filled with spiritual vomit. “Substitute goods” from the heathen nations—the Greeks, Romans, Africans, Babylonians, Sumerians, Egyptians, Indians, et al.—all have contributed to the spiritual smorgasbord of vomit. The deceivers are filling the bellies of the deceived by syncretistic concoctions—humanism, evolutionary theism, Spiritism, Platonic philosophy, and a host of other modern socio-psycho-political and spiritually engendered perversions—stirred in the broiling cauldron of ecumenism with cheap, non-nourishing doctrinal substitute goods.
You may ask, “Like what?” How about Rome’s brag that they changed Sabbath observance to Sunday? How about their brag that all Protestant and Reformed churches who observe Sunday submit themselves to Papal authority! [Which is totally true since in the whole of the bible not a single verse can be found in support of Sunday worship!]
“What else?” you may ask. Shall we produce encyclopaedic evidence regarding the “substitute” Passover called Easter? How about the veneration of the birthday of the ancient Roman sun god, Sol, on December 25th? Or, as in Babylon, the birthday of the pagan god Tammuz. [For the identity of Tammuz see our previous blog on Valentine’s Day, titled: “Another Cleat in Cupid’s Coffin.”] The apostolic church never had this pagan perversion on their “doctrinal table”. It was the Papacy that declared, four centuries after the birth of Christ, that December 25th was to be observed as his birthday, into eternity! And that despite the fact that the beloved Churchian Christmas tree is explicitly forbidden in Jeremiah 10!
The religions of the world—including Judaism and Christianity—is riddled with rank paganism inherited from Babylon which is cleverly camouflaged and adapted to the spiritual dietary substitutionary requirements of the community under the sway of the false teachers whom they respect, adore and serve.
Notice the WARNING from the Almighty in regard to this Babylonian travesty continued by the daughter of Babylon, Rome and all its Churchian affiliates with all their snollygoster underlings pretentiously parading as the legitimate heirs of his holy religion.
“Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity …Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad” [Jer 51:6-7].
The primitive root word in Hebrew for “mad” is “halal” and means to shine, to make a show, to brag or boast and to become foolish!
This is precisely what Rome has historically done. It brags and boasts about its religious supremacy but in the eyes of God have become fools—mad! By their historic disingenuous discombobulation they have created doctrinal confusion and frustrated the path to true holiness, which is rooted in the keeping of the TEN COMMANDMENTS. And their Protestant offspring have followed suit!
Jeremiah 51 reverberates in Revelation 18. “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies [yes, Satan knows how to decorate the table of vomit with gilded cutlery, scented flowers, and appealing trimmings to present his poisoned “substitute goods” as the genuine, pure “bread of life” of the Eternal!] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" [Rev 18:3-4]. [With international plandemic persecution and prosecutions being the “order of the day”, the wise shall understand. …]
The prophet Isaiah asks an incisive question: “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [Isa 28:9].
In other words: Only people who study the Word become mature through growing in grace and knowledge [2 Pet 1:2 and 3:18] and become spiritually weaned from the Churchian paps, to no longer be addicted to the spiritual vomit [the substitute goods] of Churchian dogma.
How enthusiastic are we to feed on the solids of the true “bread of life”—Christ? Are we willing to sit at table and break bread with Christ and his apostles and prophets—or do we prefer the easy, lazy way and feed uncritically at the false churches’ slop troughs? Are we keen to identify and eradicate—search and destroy!—the enemy’s fake fast foods? Do we carefully examine the food labels to identify the poisonous ingredients? The only way to escape Babylon, its counterfeit fare and escape its diseases and plagues, is to dine with Christ and feed on the manna from heaven and refuse the “substitute goods” offered by the Churchian “mainstream media" via denominational dogma and sectarian schooling.
I challenge our readers, open your bibles and read it slowly, meditatively, prayerfully, submissively, for yourself! That’s the purpose of this blog—challenging Christians to re-examine their religious traditions. Scripture commands: “Prove all things…” Are you as a professing Christian obeying the instruction of the one you profess as your Master and Saviour?
Pray about your eating habits and dietary preferences. Some spiritual “foods” can kill you—even if only slowly as do junk food. The substitute Churchian fare kills---slowly! When you feed on the manna from heaven you can’t get sick! Some people’s indiscriminate eating and indiscretions at table need serious re-examining in the light of the Scriptural Menu. It might bring HEALTH AND LIFE! “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged” [1Co 11:31].
