Manipulative Praise & Insincere Worship

A Scripture was on my heart as I awoke this morning. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” (Luke 16:10 NIV)

So I asked God why I had an image of a certain pastor in my mind as I was reminded of that Biblical text. God answered that the pastor was not trustworthy with teaching true doctrine but he wanted God to reward him for singing praises. My thoughts are that if he can’t be trusted to seek God for the correct interpretation of Scriptures, then why is God allowing him to stay in the pulpit? Actually, that’s my question to God about all the local pastors.

The Pastor Report Card that was posted yesterday had very specific doctrinal areas for grading. It was purposely blank so that each pastor or congregation member could seek God about how their church is doing on each doctrinal area.

1) Does the pastor teach that hearing God is the most important ingredient that leads to obeying God and following Him? Or does the pastor instead teach that the individual interpretation of the Bible (a book) has more authority than God? I’m definitely not saying that we should ignore studying the Bible, but it seems that most churches choose to ignore seeking God. God is Spirit. God is not a book. Most seem to understand that they don’t need to pray to the book, but they evidently believe that God can only speak through it. How did God become less powerful than His creation? He made us able to speak but He made Himself to be mute? (That was sarcasm.)

2) Again, too many pastors can’t be bothered to seek God about their three gods issue. There is only one God, not three. Listen, I boldly post pages proving this doctrinal stance for their inspection and comments. Where are they boldly posting their doctrinal stance for discussion? I’d love to have the opportunity to publicly debate their stance on the “trinity” of gods that they preach.

3) I will never understand how they get away with preaching that Jesus is not God, but instead a Son of God. Why God puts up with that is just unfathomable to me. He has more patience than I do, but that’s a given. He probably gets His abundance of patience from one of the two other gods that He’s purported to have as backups. (That was sarcasm).

I will continue discussing the report card doctrines tomorrow. For today, I will post a page of Scriptures that reflect the one-God theology just in case they would like to debate this topic with me. The attributes of God are listed on the second attachment.
