"I'm appalled by this,
please tell me that you're kidding!"
Well, OF COURSE I'M KIDDING! The series entitled, 7 Reasons to Keep Jesus out of His Church is intended to be taken as a SARCASTIC REBUKE directed toward "popular christianity" and the ever-increasingly "apostate church" of today .2 Thessalonians, chapter 2 calls it the "age of delusion and insofar as the "church" is concerned, it may well be considered the "Laodicean Age."

As described in Revelation 3:14-22, the church at Laodicea was HORRIFICALLY DESCRIBED AS BEING A CHURCH WHERE JESUS WAS ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN!
Attributes of the Laodicean church included:
-Blindness. However, they didn't know they were blind BECAUSE THEY WERE BLIND!
-Poverty. They were CLUELESS! They thought that because they were esteemed by their community, both local and abroad, and because they had many wealthy and socially prominent church members who provided beautiful buildings and lots and lots of money...THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE RICH!
-Desparately needy. And, yet they honestly believed themselves to be self-sufficient! UNBELIEVABLE!
The church of Laodicea was a DISGRACE in the eyes of Jesus. Putrid, disgusting, and hypocritical. They were an organization who professed to know God...but didn't. Indeed, the church of Laodicea represented the ultimate victory for Satan:
I guess we should all just be thankful that in the "age of enlightenment" in which we live...
Nothing like that could ever happen to us.
Right?
