False Christians (my Observation)A Poem by Poet PittinixThe author has highlighted some points about religion and gays.You can easily identify false
Christians by their questionable speech and action. They are like wolves among sheep
and weeds growing together with wheat. And they are full of
inordinate pride, self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Some of them put on false
appearance to deceive other members of the Christian congregations. And they evidently do not
practise what they preach. They lead a double life and they
cannot disguise their indecisiveness, so outsiders can clearly see who they
really are. They like to dress up in pretty
clothes and pretend as if they were the nicest people in the world. Furthermore, they wear a
broad smile, shake hands, and hug one another warmly when they do not mean it
from the heart. Many people imagine that to become a member of a
religious organization will automatically constitute them true Christians. They seem to forget that a true Christian is someone
who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. Some churchgoers consider themselves holier than they
consider other fellow worshippers of God. Moreover, they like to look down on worldly people
scornfully. While they preach and teach
the doctrine of Christianity about love to outsiders, they continue to treat some
of their fellow believers contemptuously. Ridiculously, on Sundays and
Saturdays they meet together in the same buildings to worship one God. It is indubitably easier to
get along with some worldly folks than with most self-styled Christians
nowadays, and this applies to persons of all denominations. Most churchgoers habitually
watch garment, form cliques, stir up competition among fellow members, and seek
the glory and praise of men. What is more, they tear down
one another with injurious gossip, mischief making and slander rather than
building up the spirituality of one another. They also focus on the faults
and weaknesses of individuals instead of focusing on the good. False Christians always magnify
the errors of others and they behave as though they were perfect, sinless persons. It is my observation that a
growing number of bishops, pastors, priests, and elders, lead a pattern of wrongdoing
while they conveniently preach about the teachings of the Bible. They encourage prominence, class
distinction, favouritism, and bias among the fellowship. In addition, they commit fornication
and adultery with the young women in the congregations. And in some cases, young boys become victims of
homosexual paedophiles in the churches. Many persons go to various denominations and request
baptism for the wrong reasons. Some male members attend Christian
meetings just to seek out suitable wives for themselves. Likewise, some female members
stick around for a while and try to find the ones whom they doltishly describe
as the right persons for them. Such ones usually lose
interest after a short time when things do not turn out in their favour. Whom are these self-centred dissemblers
trying to fool? They definitely cannot fool
God, so they must be trying to fool people or their own dungy hearts. It does not escape the notice
of keen eyes that the clergies have been enriching themselves by artfully
peddling the word of God. Nobody has ever opened a bank
account in God’s name or in Jesus’ name, Yet the leaders of the churches
collect people’s money in the name God and in the name of Jesus, And then they lodge it in
private bank accounts in their names or in the names of organizations using
venal men as trustees. Certain religious leaders claim
that they are running non-profit-making organizations. But I openly and fearlessly challenge
this misleading asseveration. Such absurd claim is
definitely not a true representation of the reality. The absence of a weekly or
monthly paycheque does not mean they are doing non-profit work. A direct compensation or cash
in the hand is not the only way to profit from work. This is a fact, and I am
saying it intentionally with no apology. They derive substantial benefits
from the so-called voluntary work that they do. Most people who work
secularly cannot afford to live the posh lifestyle that clergymen are living
out of the funds of these religious organizations. Do not attempt to twist my
words or misinterpret my arguments as ungodliness. I am not implying that true
Christians do not exist in the world of religion. Of course, there are honest-hearted
persons who want to serve God from the heart. And they earnestly try to do
the will of God and live an upright life. But imposters arise to test
the faith and endurance of the sincere ones. Based on my observation I am
exposing the dishonest practices of some religious persons. There is a conspicuous
difference between true Christians and hypocritical churchgoers. But do not just accept my words
without doing your own research and scrutiny. Observe the religious system carefully and form your own honest conclusion. © 2024 Poet PittinixAuthor's Note
