  • Summary

  • This is a message for the Australian Church, and anyone of any skin colour giving honour and observance to the religious claims, ceremonies and rituals of traditional Aboriginal religion. WATCH FULL VIDEO on https://GoodSauce.news/paganism-in-the-church If you give honour to demons, false gods, you are not a person worth less, or any less a bearer of the Image of God than I or any other well formed Christian; but you are a poorer Christian if you mix false religion with the worship, teaching and knowledge of the One True God. My objective this morning is to warn the people of God of the danger of mixing Christianity and traditional Aboriginal religion. And given the prevalence and the level of normalisation of this mixing in Australian churches, it requires I use a large amount of Scripture and evidence to presume to be able to offer this correction, for many will cling to their idols and only God’s Word can soften their hearts and open their eyes, if they are willing. Critiques of false religions are not vilification or humiliation of the members of the ethnic groups from which such religions arise: Greek, Roman, Egyptian or Aboriginal. There are other false religions which aren’t named for the ethnic group which developed them, such as Druidism, Islamism and Buddhism, and critique of them is no more a slam or vilification of their typical ethnic group than bad maths. Wrong answers to life’s biggest questions must be confronted if Truth matters at all, and in the pursuit of safety, health, happiness, security, good philosophy and theology, prosperity, science, liberty and any useful quality of representative democracy, NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT than the universal constant of objective Truth. Any argument against that bold claim can be simply refuted with the rhetorical question, is that true? So, if an ethnic group proposed as their ancient knowledge that 2 + 2 = blue cow, then it would be not be loving to tolerate or affirm or celebrate their truth claim. It would not be racist or colonialist or vilifying or hateful to critique or condemn those claims. Mixing false religion with Christianity, on the other hand... DEUTERONOMY 12:29 "When the Lord your God eliminates the nations from the place where you are headed and you dispossess them, you will settle down in their land. 30 After they have been destroyed from your presence, be careful not to be ensnared like they are; do not pursue their gods and say, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.” 31 You must not worship the Lord your God the way they do! For everything that is abhorrent to him, everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods! 32 You must be careful to do everything I am commanding you. Do not add to it or subtract from it!"
