God's Command against the Belief in Freedom of Religion
God's Command against the Belief in Freedom of Religion
It is incredible how Christian churches support the belief in freedom of rights and religion.
Do you realize that God did not and never has supported or blessed man regarding the belief in freedom of rights, religion, and self will?
God gave a clear (first) commandment to Adam and Eve that they were not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and that they would die if they were to do so. Even though the tree of knowledge was in the garden (i.e. the choice was there) He clearly commanded them not to take of that tree. In other words, He told them that He would not accept their decision to choose for themselves to take of that tree and that they would die if they did so.
He makes reference to this command and warning several times in Genesis:
Genesis 2:17, Genesis 3:3, Genesis 3:11, Genesis 3:17
Afterwards God says that man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. This “one” of Us is reference to Lucifer who chose the tree of knowledge of good and evil and chose to do his own will and to become in his heart like a god. Satan, in fact, preached to Eve the belief in freedom of self will (religion) when he told her that once she makes this choice and eats (embraces) the fruit that her eyes will be opened and that she would be like a god, knowing (deciding for herself) what is good and evil. She decided that this tree was good and she ate of it contrary to the command from God not to do so, even in face of the warning that she would die. Perhaps she did not believe that either or perhaps she decided that it was worth it ( as the American saying goes” Live Free or Die”).
In reference to the 10 Commandments which God gave to a people who did not want to love Him or to do His will, the first three clearly say:
· that man is not to have any other gods before Him
· that man is not to bow down to or serve any other god
· that man is not to take His Name in vain
As you can see, He does not endorse or support man’s belief in his freedom to worship, support, acknowledge, or serve any other belief besides Him. These commandments were given in order to identify that it was sin to embrace any belief besides that of the True and Only God.
Christ taught this. He said to repent and seek (live only by) the kingdom (way) of God.
