Does GOD ACCEPT ALL RELIGIONS ?

Does The ELOHIM ACCEPT ALL RELIGIONS? 

The Humanists certainly do.

Pope Francis does.

The Free-Masons do.

The Politically-Correct do.

The Governments try to, but they DO have their pets.

The Globalists pretend they do, but they only use all religions to accomplish their purposes; in the end, they will consume them all.

And sadly, the Israelites in the wilderness who were killed by a GOD-sent plague did. 

The ELOHIM, the  DIVINE ECHAD, The PLURAL but UNIFIED ONE-GOD is NOT “plural” in religion, those plague-killed Israelites discovered.

But they discovered this Truth too late. It was indeed a hard awakening. 

 

Here is what The ELOHIM thinks of “all religions”  . . . 

A GOD-SENT PLAGUE

This GOD-SENT PLAGUE involved the grandson of Aaron, Phinehas [ Hebrew: Pinchas ], who made an atonement for the sons of Israel. Phinehas’ action stopped the plague SENT FROM THE LORD YHWH. That horrific plague slew 24,000 in the wilderness.  

Many Israelites had been lured by Israel’s enemies to sin against YHWH. About to enter the Promised Land after 40 years in the wilderness, they were encamped at Shittim, east of the Jordan River , above the Salt Sea. 

The Midianites and Moabites contrived together to weaken the Israelites by luring them to GO AGAINST YHWH, The LORD. 

And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to fornicate* with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD burned* against Israel.

Numbers 25:1-3

 * from Jay P. Green, Sr., translation, 1985

The Israelites were about to enter into the Promised Land, but lo, they were NOT READY. 

There were some among them who were Israelites in name and birthright, but like Esau who had the name and birthright,  their HEARTS were far from following YHWH, The LORD their GOD, The ELOHIM. 

Hearts far from The LORD

 fall in the midst of testing;

name and birthright do NOT protect

someone whose HEART is far from following The LORD.

When the enemies of the Israel of GOD tempted these men, they immediately cast off the yoke of The LAW and went after forbidden food. 

Yes, it was actually FOOD that was forbidden.

Israelites were NOT ALLOWED to eat meat sacrificed to idols, food which was dedicated to the pantheon of demonic deities of the Moabites and Midianites. That food was spiritually unclean because the people honored their demon-gods with their food. 

   

Throwing off the Holy Yoke, these Israelites responded to the invitation of the Moabite women to attend their festival activities. 

The Israelites not only attended, but they ate meat dedicated to idols, knowing full well what they were doing.

They not only ate the unclean food to honor the idols, but they bowed down to those demonic entities ! [ See Numbers 25 ].

Were they, then,  READY to enter into the Promised Land ? NO. 

The LORD stopped those whose heart was divided between HIM and the world from entering into The Promised Land.  The LORD sees such a heart divided between HIM and the world as an UN-DIVIDED heart given over to the world.

The LORD, we remember, warns us against making a mingled garment or planting a mix of seeds in one field. HE trains us to be single of eye, single of purpose, single of heart, with no mixture.

The Israelites were ONLY wanting to receive THE PRIVILEGES of the Commonwealth of Israel: 

• to cross the Red Sea miraculously, 

• to see their killers drowned in the sea waters,

•  to drink water flowing from The ROCK+ in the barren wilderness, 

• to eat manna from Heaven, 

• and to have their clothing last for 40 years  ! [ See Nehemiah 13:21].

In spite of all those blessings and deliverances, some  Israelites  were not READY to enter into the Promised Land flowing with milk and honey.

What made them unfit for the Promised Land ? 

Their hearts were not yielded to their GREAT GOD WHO delivered their hands from the pots and their shoulders from burdens.

GOD is not mocked nor tricked; HE knew where all hearts were. HE knew exactly what each man savored in his heart. 

They were “mechanical” Israelites; they served HIM by rote, not by heart.

Demonic idols can never capture men who turn away from serving Self.

 HE knew these men were serving SELF, the biggest idol of all.

Men who make a DETERMINED EFFORT to serve The LORD with all of their heart, all of their soul, all of their mind, and all of their strength cannot be captured by demons.

Demons wile men through the lusts of the soul. Demons dangle “something” to make men “happy” in order for men to fall away from The LORD and chase after a gorging of lust, be it possessions or fornication. 

The LORD YHWH knew these men 

would befoul the Promised Land.

 So HE allowed the temptresses to come to try them, to test them, to see if their hearts were steadfast with HIM.  They were lured away. They fell for the lies. 

They had no conscience, for it was seared by the constant serving of Self, no matter their birthright, no matter their father’s name, no matter their group or tribal affiliation. They were DRUNK on Self. 

They had no compunction about eating things sacrificed to demonic idols and no hesitation about bowing down to these same idols as well as to the Living GOD; they were all the same to them ! 

Their spirits were profane and un-sanctified because their HEARTS were not given over to The LIVING LORD, to the ONE Who said, “Thou shalt have NO OTHER GODS before ME.”   

This mind-set was not held by only a few, but by THOUSANDS of Israelites among the accounted 600,000 or more in the Hebrew tribes receiving an inheritance of land --- plus the 23,000 Levites who received no inheritance ---  all  who were about to enter the Promised Land. [According to Jamison, Fawcett, and Brown , Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, MI, 1976 reprint, Volume 1,  pages 595 and 596, footnotes to Numbers 26:58-65. ]

Included in this rebellious mind-set were some of the SONS of the PRINCES of the tribes of Israel. They were so jaded, proud, and self-assured that they did not fear to bring their Midianite women into the camp of Israel ! 

To cleanse the people of Israel, The LORD instructed Moses to instruct the judges of the tribes to slay all the men who were JOINED TO baal-peor. 

But Wait . . . When were any Israelites JOINED to the demonic baal-peor ? They were joined to this demon when they ate food dedicated to him, when they bowed down to him, when they followed the counsel of their seducers and seductresses. When they did not care about following The LORD YHWH  anymore.

The tribe of Simeon had some trouble cleansing their tribe of these befoulers, it seems. Phinehas [ Pinchas, in Hebrew ] was a high-ranking priest, the grandson of Aaron, the first high priest. 

He was high-ranking enough to go after Zimri, the son of one of the chief families of the tribe of Simeon. His lady friend was Cozbi, the daughter of one of the princes of Midian.   

These were not the “common” folks but the royalty of the people. 

Zimri was SO SURE of his untouchable position that he brought Ms. Cozbi to his brothers in the camp and went into the “tent” with her, presumably to enjoy his fornication. 

Phinehas saw it and stopped it with a javelin in the midst of their bodies, in the midst of their tent, in the midst of the camp of Israel. 

Phinehas not only stopped Zimri and Cozbi, but his actions stopped the plague, which had already begun and killed 24,000 in one day. The LORD said Phinehas “made an atonement” for Israel and the plague was stopped. That is the English translation. Jay P. Green says “atoned.”

Phinehas won The LORD’S high approval for defending the integrity of GOD. 

Phinehas kept the rest of the flock ALIVE because The LORD stopped the plague when HE saw Israel’s defender. 

Thus , the LORD YHWH made Phinehas and his seed to have an EVER-LASTING PRIESTHOOD.

Who else has won that EVER-LASTING PRIESTHOOD ?
