You can never go to heaven. The reason is that it is a faith of the flesh. Today, all Christian pastors have no understanding of the standards and differences between the faith of the flesh and the faith of the spirit. Most Christian pastors also have the faith of the flesh.

 

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.(2 Peter 2 : 9-10)

 

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.(Ephesians 2 : 2-3)

 

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.(James 1 : 14-15)

 

In the flesh, there is only sin.

 

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.(Romans 7 : 25)

 

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.(Romans 8 : 13)

 

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.(Romans 8 : 5-7)

 

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.(1 John 2 : 15-16)

 

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.(1 John 3 : 8-10)

 

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.(1 John 5 : 18-19)

 

This is because God's children can never commit sin. Of course, they may occasionally sin by mistake, but they do not habitually commit sin like everyone else. The reason is that they have no lust or greed for the world and the flesh. All sin begins with lust and greed. Today, the majority of Christianity continuously repeats the cycle of sinning, dying to sin, and repenting throughout their lives, yet they can never escape the bondage of sin, which is why sin keeps repeating.

 

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;(1 Peter 2 : 11)

 

 

No matter how much one awakens, makes resolutions, and determines to change, they cannot break the habit of sinning again and again or put to death the sinful desires of the flesh. A person’s awakening, resolution, and determination alone cannot kill sin. The reason is that their faith is driven by the desires of the flesh, which inevitably leads them to repeat sin. Those who live for the world and the flesh pursue their own lustful happiness, personal success, and prosperity, living a life completely unrelated to that of Christ.

 

Only those who follow the life of Christ and live with the hope of Christ, even to the point of giving up their own lives, can truly stop sinning. Christians are not true followers of Christ. Do not be mistaken—this is arrogance itself. Only those who live the life of Christ can stop the cycle of sin, be reborn, be transformed, and receive the power of God. Why did Christ demonstrate the love of the cross on this earth? The teaching of Christ is that when you love your brothers and sisters to the point of sacrificing even your life, just as He did, you will receive the glory of salvation and resurrection.

 

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.(Romans 14 : 7)

 

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.(Luke 14 : 26-27)

 

There are far too many repulsive Christians who pretend to be followers of Christ while not actually living the life of Christ.

 

They live the same lives as those who follow the world and the flesh, committing the same sins, yet they put Christ’s name at the forefront or spend their entire lives offering vain prayers in God’s name, seeking only their own lusts and desires. If salvation could be found in such people, how could there ever be true Christians who shine like light and serve as salt—those who set an example and become an inspiration?

 

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)

 

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.(2 Corinthians 7 : 10)

 

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.(James 1 : 14-15)

 

How can someone who seeks worldly concerns—where greed conceives sin and sin inevitably leads to death—be considered a Christian? Issues of health, business, work, relationships, and family—those who spend their entire lives chasing the same hopes, desires, and dreams as worldly people, how can they possibly live with the hope of Christ, the hope that follows the love of the cross, even to the point of giving up their own lives?

Isn’t living with the hope of Christ the mark of a true Christian?

 

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.(Titus 3 : 3-8)

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.(1 John 3 : 3-9)

 

Only those who have the hope of Christ can receive forgiveness of sins and be made clean. In other words, faith that is centered on the hope of Christ is the kind of faith that can be reborn, transformed, and changed.

Christians are not true followers of Christ; they are merely religious people who belong to the flesh. That is why they continue to live a life bound to sin, all the while pretending that their faith is the faith of God and that they are living the life of Christ. Instead of being a true example like light and salt, they invoke God’s holy name in vain, crying out only for their own lusts and desires.

It is utterly repulsive how they reduce the sacrificial love of the cross—love that requires giving up one’s very life—to nothing more than mere charity and social service, as if that were the love of Christ. This actually dishonors the cross and mocks the true love that sacrifices even life itself.

Yet Christians today claim this as the faith of God and the love of Christ, when in reality, it is nothing but self-deception.

 

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.(Luke 6 : 32-33)

 

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.(Romans 8 : 4-6)

 

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.(James 4 : 3-4)

 

If a person who seeks worldly and fleshly things can receive salvation, then everyone in this world would be saved. Salvation does not come simply by calling upon the name of God or Christ. The truth is not about merely awakening, making resolutions, or determining to change—only to continue repeating sin throughout one's life. Rather, the truth is about being led to receive God's power, which puts to death the sinful desires and habits of the flesh. Receiving this power of love is what makes someone a child of truth, a child of light, and a true example for others to follow.

 

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;(1 Peter 2 : 11)

 

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.(Romans 8 : 13)

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1-2)

 

Those who seek corrupt desires and greed in the name of God are 100% influenced by demons. The spirit of lust works in those who seek lust, the spirit of materialism in those who seek wealth, the spirit of the world in those who seek worldly things, and the spirit of the flesh in those who seek carnal pleasures. God or Christ never works in such people. Instead, these spirits only disguise themselves as God, Christ, or even angels.

 

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.(2 Corinthians 11 : 13-15)

 

Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.(Ezekiel 14 : 4-5)

 

Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.(Isaiah 66 : 3-4)

 

I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.(Hosea 2 : 11-13)

 

The passage states that the spirit of deception (demons) operates according to what one harbors in their heart. Depending on their desires, those who seek lust are influenced by the spirit of lust, those who seek greed by the spirit of greed, those who seek material wealth by the spirit of materialism, and those who seek carnal pleasures by the spirit of carnality. These spirits work as if they were God or Christ. Therefore, most Christians and followers of other religions are no different from each other.

They are all the same. Instead of being the light and salt of the world or setting an example and being a model of faith, they merely practice cunning and deceitful survival tactics. Their faith is full of hypocrisy—different on the outside and inside, with words that do not match their actions. Their acts of service and charity are nothing more than empty gestures meant for show, lacking true sincerity. Everything is known by its fruit.

No matter how much one awakens, makes resolutions, and determines to live righteously throughout their life, they inevitably fall back into sin. The sermons of pastors are mere human teachings, limited by human frailty. They are worldly knowledge, nothing more than leaven. The momentary emotional inspiration from sermons that seem to promise the immediate fulfillment of believers' dreams quickly fades away.

The Bible warns that the blind will lead the blind. Because of such blind leadership, this world is filled with all kinds of wickedness, lies, corruption, and depravity, leading inevitably to judgment. Judgment is right before our eyes. God's Word, which has prepared judgment, proves that Christianity is not the true faith.

 

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.(Revelation 2 : 9)

 

Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:(Romans 3 : 29)

 

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.(1 Corinthians 10 : 32-33)

 

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.(Romans 3 : 9-12)

 

God is not only the God of Christianity or Catholicism.

This means that God is not the God of religions created by humans.

Christianity was not a religion established by God, Christ, or His disciples.

In reality, Christianity is also a heretical sect that originated from Catholicism, which it calls heresy. In the past, religion has been exploited as a tool of governance. The largest religions in the world—Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity (Catholicism)—were all created by royal authorities. Religions have historically been used as a means of absolute control, exploiting their inherent nature of demanding absolute obedience. Over time, they became instruments for deifying rulers and ensuring total domination. This is the true nature of today’s religions.

That is why you should not be bound by churches but instead follow God's Word—pursuing love that seeks to understand the suffering, pain, and sorrow of your brothers and sisters, which leads to salvation. Do not put your faith in religion, but instead carefully examine the verses of the Bible. Now is the time for a good conscience that discerns whether pastors are teaching falsely by comparing their words against Scripture.

 

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.(1 John 4 : 1)

 

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.(2 Peter 3 : 16)

 

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 5-6)
