"For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 2:17
For six thousand years now mankind has been creating all sorts
of religions, and gods, and objects of worship. Worshiping the sun, moon, and
stars, things on the earth, and things that they have made with their hands.
Men, from the beginning, have turned away from the truth, and they have
fabricated many religious "systems", and ways of worshiping their gods. Like at
the Tower of Babel, they built a high tower to reach to the heavens, so that
they could touch the heavens, become great, and make a name for themselves.
This was the beginning of the great false religious system of the world. It was
halted and postponed by God, when He confused their language and separated them,
dispersed them, and they became the nations, migrating to every
continent.
Religion, in the great empires of the world, has always been
used to appease and control the masses, giving the people what they need to
satisfy their hunger for spirituality, the hunger which we all have, because we
were created by God. Only the fool does not recognize this. This recognition by
the peoples of the world, that there is a God, creates a need for religion to
satisfy the obvious need for spirituality. Therefore the whole world has become
full of religions, all false, except for one.
