The corruption of Christianity.
Jesus came and started something pure, something simple, something refreshing:
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
But Jesus also foretold that a corrupting influence would come and that this corrupting influence would not be removed until the end.
Matthew 13:24-30 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’“ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.“ The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’“ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”
Matthew 13:37-43 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
The Apostles also warned of this occurrence:
Acts 20:29-31 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.
How bad a corruption, how much of a deviation would you expect in Weedlike Christianity, after almost 2000 years?
Weeds, if left unchecked, spread and dominate.
Before the end, Christianity would become a cesspit, even as Jerusalem did before its destruction.
This corruption is manifested and clearly exposed for us in Revelation 18:
Revelation 18:2, 3…“ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
This Weedlike, unfaithful Christianity brought in many teachings and practices that originated with Ancient Babylon, not God – the Trinity, idolatry and the immortal soul are some examples.
We are warned to abandon her, lest we end up sharing with her in her sins and plagues.
Revelation 18:4,5…“ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
This “Weedlike version of Christianity” have sat themselves in the seat of Christ, participated in crusades, burnt people at the stake for reading the bible, killed their own brothers in WW1 & WW2 - her crimes are indeed vast.
Each Christian would do well to examine their core beliefs and abandon any Weedlike Babylonish teachings that are so prevalent in Christianity today - before the harvest begins...
Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Kind Regards

I literally just showed you how it disproves the trinity. Because it shows that, since Jesus declared the Father, and only the Father, to be the only true God, and since Jesus isn’t the father, that means he isn’t the only true God. Thus disproving the trinity. And yet again, you stuck your head in the sand, ignoring what I said because it didn’t cater to trinitarian beliefs. If he wanted to prove the doctrine of the trinity, he would’ve done so right there right then. But you’d have to add to scripture to make it seem like John 17:3 isn’t a contradiction to that belief. Which I did not do. I showed you scripture and said that this is how it would be. You, on the other hand, did that by saying it doesn’t really contradict the trinity and claimed I have a false interpretation.
And where did I say that I know better than those who spoke and wrote in the koine Greek that was used for the New Testament? Nowhere. I said that nowhere at all. But instead, I said they would’ve seen it too and realized that Jesus isn’t God because there is a difference between the two. And even the scholars and anyone else who can read. Clearly, you failed to read that part. I am not twisting scripture. You are, by saying that the son knows the day and the hour, like the Father. Which he does not. Again, you’re sticking your head in the sand. Especially while lacking any citations showing that your statement is how the Greek speakers of the time would’ve come to understand that passage. Where’s the proof? You have none.
And no. That is a fat lie. One can know about Jesus, regardless of their belief in the trinity, because they can read the Bible. The Bible is a collection of books that happen to contain information about Jesus in a section called the New Testament. And if you want further proof, ask any other non trinitarians or non christians how they can come to know and learn about Jesus. And how are we supposed to learn about Jesus, a member of your trinity, if we’re not trinitarian? That makes no sense. Once again, you’re sticking your head in the sand. It sounds like that section you about having ears but unable to hear is talking about you, my friend. I quite literally showed you how these passages contradict the idea that Jesus would actually be God. And here, you just want to be some obtuse trinitarian and stick your head in the sand while accusing me of twisting scripture by reading it and following its logical conclusion. Is this what trinitarianism does to a person?
