I have a lot of items that I have saved to comment on from times of surfing the Internet. The one I picked today is an article that states that Germany wants to ban Scientology.
WAY TO GO GERMANY! I hope that you succeed in banning this cult religion. I hope that you find the truth in Christ. But even if you don't you are willing to take a stand against a cult, not a religion.
According to the Scientology web site Scientology is:
The word Scientology literally means "the study of truth." It comes from the Latin word "scio" meaning "knowing in the fullest sense of the word" and the Greek word "logos" meaning "study of."
The study of the TRUTH? Well I have a question then. Does anyone besides me think that it is ironic that Scientology is the study of the TRUTH, based on a religion (I use the term religion loosely, really it is a cult) made up by a science FICTION writer. Truth and Fiction are opposites According to the web site again it states:
In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.
OK to me this is getting sillier and sillier, how can one study the truth when the truth is different from one person to another? No one is studying the same truth. At my church we are all studying the same truth. How can you make any reasonable study out of something that is not defined as a constant. The emerging church is right down the same road. What is true for you must be the truth.
WRONG, there is a TRUTH that is a constant and that truth is Jesus Christ as stated in John 14:6
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
I have found another problem with Scientology (surprise, surprise, I could probably go on all day finding problems with Scientology. On another web site right on the front page is this quote, (click the words to see the site)
"Furthermore man is basically GOOD. He is seeking to survive, and his survival depends upon himself and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe"
MAJOR Flaw here. Man is not basically good, man is basically a wretched sinner to the core. There is no one that is GOOD. Psalm 14:1-3 makes that quite clear
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3 All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
The Holy Bible : New International Version. 1996, c1984 (electronic ed.) (Ps 14:1-3). Grand Rapids: Zondervan.
Man is a wretched sinner that needs to repent and put their trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation. Only one way to get to heaven, not a million different ways. If you are not on the narrow road leading to life, you are on the broad road leading to destruction.
I encourage you to make sure that you are on the narrow road.
THINK ABOUT IT, AND READ THE WORD (DON'T BE HOODWINKED)
