Modus Operandi
Religion, like all darkness, twists and perverts the real truth. The outcome for those that have succumbed to Religion is one of the 2 ways. 1) completely accept the twisted truth and become deceived by lies or 2) hate anything that resembles religion, embrace the “opposite” of all things religious and become deceived by lies. The result of both of these outcomes are the same...deception. Religion is a perversion of real truth to the point of no longer being pure truth. However, the “opposite” of a perverted truth is still a lie also. For example, religion tells us that people have callings and giftings in the Body that creates an order and a type of caste system...one person greater than the other. This is a perversion of the real order of God and 5-fold ministry. The truth is that God does give His children gifts and callings and He is a God of order. The lie is that those giftings and callings and order result in God valuing one person over another. If you reject the entire perverted truth and chose the opposite, then you end up rejecting all order including God’s order. So you still miss the truth and believe a lie.
The only way to prevent deception is to seek God and choose not to pass judgement by living contrary to what you perceive to be false. The Holy Spirit will show you the real truth from what has been perverted by darkness through man. This requires you to be more open to God, His truth and His leading than your hatred for evil and what you surmise to be the righteous way...as the Pharisees did.
