Tradition has replaced truth, Christianity has become a money machine, preachers lie to members for pay, worship has become entertainment, and God has departed the modern church system. This may be the most shocking book you have ever read. The Great Deception of American Christianity Without Christ exposes the condition of the American Church today, which has evolved mostly into a mixture of man-made traditions, false teachings, unscriptural practices, doctrines of demons, hypocrisy, religious superstitions, false prophets, man-made myths, and a money machine. If you have ever wondered if something just doesn't seem right with our American Christianity, then you need to read this book. If you have ever wondered about preachers are paid or why they still collect tithes according to the law and then turn around and teach grace for salvation, then you need to read this book. My hope is that you will be shaken up and awakened. You will either be offended because of your religious idolatry or thrilled at the truth and freedom you find within these pages. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction (that challenges them with God's truth), but wanting to have their ears tickled (with something pleasing), they will accumulate for themselves (many) teachers (one after another, chosen) to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions (and will accept the unacceptable). (2 Tim. 4:3-4, Amplified) So, just like the scripture predicted, it has come to pass. The American church for the most part does not tolerate sound doctrine and has developed a widespread practice of tickling ears, giving people what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear. Jesus clearly taught that in the last days many would fall away from the faith and that only a few would be saved by entering through the narrow way. Are you ready for the truth?

Short. Timely. Poignant. Pointed. Burying White Privilege is all of these and more. This is the book that everybody who cares about contemporary American Christianity will want to read. Many people wonder how white Christians could not only support Donald Trump for president but also rush to defend an accused child molester running for the US Senate. In a 2017 essay that went viral, Miguel A. De La Torre boldly proclaimed the death of Christianity at the hands of white evangelical nationalists. He continues sounding the death knell in this book. De La Torre argues that centuries of oppression and greed have effectively ruined evangelical Christianity in the United States. Believers and clerical leaders have killed it, choosing profits over prophets. The silence concerning—if not the doctrinal justification of—racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia has made white Christianity satanic. Prophetically calling Christian nationalists to repentance, De La Torre rescues the biblical Christ from the distorted Christ of white Christian imagination.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of "soft" totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to "safety". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance: • SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation. • JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true. • ACT: Take action to protect truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

In book 1 of The Original Revelation series, Creation Cries Out! The Mazzaroth, we learned that our Creator’s plan of salvation was written in the stars as a witness to all humanity of a coming Messiah. In that first book I explained how the angelic realm corrupted that message and taught mankind to worship the Sun. In book, Mystery Babylon: The Religion of the Beast, 2 we learned how that “lie of Sun worship” was formulated into a formal religion in Babylon. In this book, book 3 of The Original Revelation series, we are going to trace this Mystery Religion of Babylon as it was formally transferred from Babylon to Rome and became known as The Cult of Sol Invictus (the cult of the invincible sun). The Babylonian High Priesthood was conferred upon the Emperor of Rome as Pontifus Maximus (High Priest of the Sungod). We still to this day use that title for the High Priest of the Sungod, we call this position The Pontiff (Pope) who today presides over the Babylonian Priesthood. In this book we are going to trace the history of the Christian Church, its rituals, its gods, its Christ, and compare them to both the religion of Babylon and the revelation of God in The Bible. We are going to ask and answer the hard questions. As the largest religion on Earth is it possible that Christianity is the “wide gate that leads to destruction”? Could it be that Christianity is The Mystery Religion of Babylon that “deceives all mankind” as prophesied? Have we all been led astray by a Greek conquest of the Hebrew faith? Did the victor in the Roman/Jewish Wars literally rewrite history? Did Constantine start a new religion and impose a lie upon humanity at the threat of death? Has humanity been conditioned for 1,500 years not to question “Babylonian rituals and doctrines” by the Catholic Church? Where the “church fathers” pagan? What is the Spirit of the False Messiah and the Spirit of Error? Who is the False Messiah? If you have ever thought to yourself “something is just not right with the Church today” then you will find your answers in this book. This book will be the hardest book you have ever read. It is an eye opening, jaw dropping, pride swallowing, tear jerking reality that will have you on your knees crying out in repentance to the Living God... IF you are His chosen. If you choose to read this book I will show you how deep this rabbit hole goes but... I am only offering you is the Truth. However, most people cannot handle The Truth, that is why the gate to eternal life is very narrow and “few there are that find it” Matthew 7:14.
