But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them. ( 2Cor. 4:3-4 KJV )
The trinity doctrine, organized religion, the institutional church, all the governments of men and the advent of, "Your-Interpretation" of scripture, the world and the order that we all see is the result of the god of this world, Satan's doing. When man fell in the garden of Eden in the book of Genesis 3rd chapter ( KJV ) he forfeited his right to the tree of life and thus rejecting the government of God. As a result of this, Adam put the entire world in spiritual darkness and separation from God. ( Also see Romans 5: 6- 21 KJV ) It is of utmost importance that a Redeemer or Saviour re-purchase with the highest price that could be paid, which is the blood of Jesus Christ, in order to save lost humanity. This is why the devil is the god of this world or the "prince of the power of the air" or the scriptures says that he is the motivator of the children of disobedience.
( Ephesians 2: 2-3 KJV ) or anyone who hasn't accepted the blood of Jesus Christ through repentance and water baptism in his name for the remission of sins
( See Acts 2:38 KJV ) or the removal, thus, causing them to be adopted into the royal family of God. For this reason Jesus told Nicodemus in the 3rd chapter of St. John 3:5
( KJV ) that except a man be born again of the water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. On the great day of Pentecost or the "Jubilee" the
sin debt, paid and satisfied by the redeemer, Christ, on the cross, gave all mankind the opportunity to be released from the bondage and the blindness that the god of this world has held captives the ideas, opinions, views, dogmas, doctrines and ideologies of man. ( See 2 Timothy
2:25-26 KJV ). Since he controls the unregenerate man's thinking capacity or his mind or heart, he has blinded the world to the truth of the gospel that our Lord himself preached, demonstrated, walked, and delegated into the hands of the men that he himself chose, and those men were the Apostles. If you can control the thinking capacity of an individual and legislate laws and statutes that govern the whole world, then you rule, that nation, people, nationalities, and mold their thinking to conform to your opinions. This, my friends is the method that Satan has used and is using to blind the world or the universe to the truth of God's word. And for this reason and this reason only we have multiple views, doctrines, churches, denominations and religious philosophies when there is only one God with one mind that he has showed in scripture how he is, and his character and nature is outlined to us as well. Yes, the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God and it's enerrancy is manifested in the revelation of the creation. ( Romans 1:20 KJV )
" For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead: so that they are without excuse." Man, in his intelligence can think for himself, use logic, learn things, practice good or bad, even a child when they become of age there are certain things that they pick up and demonstrate even when they haven't been taught it, i.e, learn how to use psychology on their parents and test their rules and chastening, and to see how far they can go! Even the mere fact that their little brains can learn how to speak the language that their surroundings give them and the formation of speech by listening and curiosity! And think about this, the ammount of information that is stored on the database of the human mind is phenomenal! Since man is born and given by the creator this great understanding, by the creator himself, it is imperative that we as human beings accept the government of God as outlined in scripture. Not the institutional doctrine that well-educated men now and in times and centuries past have given us, or even what the great philosophers have imparted to the world, but, that which the all seeing, all knowing, perfect, infallible, immortal, giver of all creation gives us. Go with me in scripture to the book of the Acts of the Apostles the 17 th chapter verses 30-31KJV " And the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now hath commanded all men every where to repent, because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained, whereof he hath given assurance unto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead." A commandment is for the whole world to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the holy ghost. ( See Acts 2:38 KJV ) This is what Jesus died for, to bring us to the second chapter of Acts and the remission of sins through and by his name. See also St. Luke 24:44-47 KJV. Because Jesus Christ died and rose again, suffered that horrid death and went through that excruciating pain solely for the purpose to bring back fallen humanity out of the clutches of the fallen one, Lucifer, or the devil or Satan. Now consider this, if the devil was so blatant and noticeable that everybody could tell when he operates, he would not be the great deceiver that he is. But since he is the master of deceptions, he will give the world religion as a substitute to the truth of God or he will use the clever and well versed preachers and ministers to carry out his plan to deceive the world! Also he will mix philosophy and evolution and positive thinking instead of faith and will preach a materialistic gospel rather than the true gospel of Jesus Christ as given to the Apostles. Everything that comes against the true setup of Jesus that broke out on Pentecost with the Apostles is man- made and devil inspired doctrine. ( See Bro. Billy Brownlee's article on the web concerning, one Lord, one faith, one baptism ) At: http:// community.webtv.net/OWTHCAF/ONELORDONEFAITHONE and also

Algie Foster's article entitled," Being born again by the word of God, http://community.webtv.net/OWTHCAF/BEINGBORNAGAINBYTHE " And also my message entitled, "A call for world repentance" at: http:// community.webtv.net/rbacts238/ACALLFORWORLD. In closing, it is my earnest endeavor to see you, my dear reader, go to the scriptures, KJV Bible and see if you have eternal life, and this life is in the name. That name is the Lord Jesus Christ.
