(
Matthew 15:2
2
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. (Matthew 15:2)
)
Thus the tradition emanated from “the god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4), sprang out of heathenism, was transplanted to Christianity by unfaithful forefathers, and developed by the Church of Rome, “Babylon the Great, the mother of . . . abominations” (
Rev. 17:5
5
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5)
). Like little children led to believe in Santa Claus, Christendom has been deceived by its “blind leaders of the blind” (
Matt. 15:14
14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14)
).
Should not all this bow the heart with shame and cause us to “sigh and . . . cry for all the abominations” practiced in Laodicean Christendom dishonoring the name of our blessed Saviour (
Psa. 119:158
158
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. (Psalm 119:158)
; Jer. 15:1517;
Ezek. 9:4
4
And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. (Ezekiel 9:4)
; Phil. 3:1819)? How can we have any part in such a farce? How will it appear at the judgment seat of Christ?
It is “another Jesus” — a popular Jesus (2 Cor. 11:4) suited to the world! The “Christmas spirit” is not of the Holy Spirit but “another spirit” (2 Cor. 11:4). “The spirit of the world” (1 Cor. 2:12) “is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1
John 2:16
16
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. (John 2:16)
).
