Among religious Christians, there are unbiblical thoughts and concepts that are repeated continuously, leading many to “believe” that this is true. Let's take a look.

There is a biblical text that says that God does not listen to sinners. And events throughout man's existence on Earth confirm this. For tragedies on a global scale show that God's wrath removes entire peoples and nations from His presence. Where are the Babylonians of Chaldea, the Phoenician Syrians, the great Canaanite nations, and even the nations that inhabited South America, such as the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs, etc.? As God says, the Earth has vomited them out. And will the peoples who inhabit the globe today survive forever? Even those nations that seem strong and powerful?

If kingdoms and kings considered strong and powerful were swept away with God's broom, will we not be swept away if we do not abandon the practices they had, such as worshiping gods of wood and stone, gold and silver? Or the worship of deities, such as the Sun and Moon and the armies of heaven? Simply saying that we believe in God does not enable us to live with God if we do not convert to His holy doctrine and obey His commandments, which were left for all humans.

Today's priests create specious arguments to exempt themselves from the obligation to obey God's laws, claiming inability to do so and justifying their outlandish theses.

Despite the abundance of teachings left by God, showing that His law is His love, His justice, His Word, His light, His lamp, the way, the truth, and eternal life, today's religious leaders relativize divine rules and come up with spurious arguments for not complying with the requirements that can make man holy as God is holy.

Even those who were called to guide others have become corrupt and have left the good doctrine, the gospel, and widened the door and the way to gather crowds around themselves.

The faith that has been so widely proclaimed today does not even allow one to heal the sick, cleanse a leper, or give sight to the blind, let alone raise the dead.

Therefore, repent, so that your sins may be blotted out, as Peter said on the day of Pentecost to the people of Jerusalem, who flocked to the upper room and witnessed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at that moment. Without this, your prayers will not be heard, even if you flock to the Wailing Wall and pray eternally or leave your requests there, addressed to God.
