A recent poll indicates that a majority of churched Americans hold the belief that heaven is
a reward for good deeds. Personal sins and meritorious acts will be weighed on a set of
scales by the God of the Bible Himself. This reckoning is considered a determination of one's
final destiny. In Western culture this fits the very icon of justice - and blind faith.
To illustrate, further similarities exist between the Muslim who follows radical Islam and the
American who follows populist Christianity. The soon-to-be-gone Muslim, true to his
teaching, earnestly believes God's reward is carnal pleasure now in exchange for his jihad (a
struggle by heart, tongue, hand, or sword to please God and lead a virtuous life. 4). As he is
taught, the American, who has only a hope and no assurance of heaven, sincerely believes
God will reward him with a measure of health, wealth, and happiness now in exchange for
his jihad.
GOD SAVE ME FROM YOUR FOLLOWERS! From those who pronounce God
as a four syllable word; religious garb and rings that need
to be kissed; from those who pronounce sin in a high nasal
pitch; from those who film themselves screaming your
praise and wiping their mouths and foreheads with the
same cloth; from greed and the prosperity gospel; from
those who film themselves healing in huge sports arenas
not hospitals; from killer martyrs and their bombs; from
those who film themselves separating the head from the
body of an innocent kidnapped victim; from those who
pride themselves as your 144,000; and those who
accumulate vast records of birth and death in order to
conscript and baptize the dead into a non-Christian heaven.
But first and foremost, save the lost from those who,
through ignorance or by design, insult Your Son and Your
untold grace by following a false hope in religious
humanism to teach SALVATION BY CHRIST IS IN
CONTINUED FAITH. Only because Your justice was
completely satisfied in the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ, may we believe the Good News
that SALVATION IN CHRIST IS FOR FAITH to release us from the law of sin and death.
