Perfect Ponzi System – Church

Church could be defined as the perfect ponzi system, the only difference is that none of the investors derive any benefit at all. The only people to benefit are the organizers who use the Bible as a basis for their fraudulent money making system.

Believers are deceived into “sowing into the kingdom of heaven.” Crafty operators create extreme feelings of guilt to extort money out of people. They are told that God will bless them according to what they sow. The poorest of people are ripped off and money is extorted from them in the expectation of receiving God’s favor. The poor deceived victims fail to realize that they themselves support the lavish life styles of these thugs.

The modern organized church is for the most part also just a social club. Church buildings do not bring people closer to Jesus. Churches oblige members to pay tithes to support the organization and pay the salaries of hired employees. Members are continuously involved in fund raising activities under the compulsion of “working for God.” They are in fact slaves of the church that has nothing to do with the invisible kingdom of God.

We cannot buy God’s favor. All that we have are free gifts from a loving Father who makes His sun shine on good and evil. We are all undeserving. Neither does God ask anything of us apart from obedience and righteousness. Jesus commanded that we love each other. show compassion to our brothers and our neighbor not that we attempt to buy His grace. The grace of God was bought with a dear price, the blood of Jesus, not with silver and gold that perish. Salvation is a free gift to those who believe in Jesus and obey Him.

Money is the root of all evil. Jesus, the King of kings, the owner of it all did not carry a money bag. He associated with the poorest of poor and warned that it will be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Those who wish to buy God’s favor fall prey to these corrupt money mongering “preachers” who preach prosperity instead of repentance from sin and obedience to Jesus Christ.

Together they will perish, the deceivers and the victims, because they loved money and the things of the world rather than seeking the kingdom of God. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him every day of our lives. The prize of eternal life is reserved for those who follow Jesus in a daily relationship, hearing his voice and obeying Him. The rest will hear those terrible words: Go away, I never knew you. If we seek riches and the approval of men we will never be part of the kingdom of heaven.
