The Blind Can't Lead The Blind

~Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”~

~Matthew 18:6 "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”~

This topic is a topic that may hurt some people's feelings, but sometimes the "Truth Hurts." I have been approached several times over the years to join certain organizations that were and are still popular today. Although I wasn’t saved at the time when I was asked to join these covert organizations, something in me told me not to do it. Today, I now know that that was the Holy Spirit telling me not to do it. When I did my research I found out that many of these organizations had all kinds of secret rituals and ceremonies that made people go through some humiliating things in order to become members. This started me thinking about all of these so called secret organizations that so many people are a part of and don’t really know what they are really a part of. It made me think of the people who would argue you down if you said anything against their organization. Jesus doesn’t require us to worship signs, symbols, and medallions or to use our affiliation with various organizations to get illegal hook-ups. When we do that we are worshiping idols, which are false Gods, of which God highly detests. He wants us to worship him in Spirit and in truth. The only requirement is to confess our sins to him and accept him as our savior…sounds simple doesn’t it?
Well too many people out there are hurting and are seeking something to belong to, often times they get sidetracked and duped into joining these cunning organizations. A lot of them joined when they were young and naïve and many knew in their hearts, it nwasn't right, but are too afraid of the so called consequences ,because they illegally gave blood oaths or something similar to never forsake the organization. I don’t know about *y’all ,but if I have a choice between Flim-Flam- Flum, or Jesus Christ -uh it’s not even a contest because I'm going to trust Jesus everytime. Many others joined these organizations because they had family members that were in it and so they just followed in those tragic foot steps, thereby keeping the generational curses going.
I don’t claim to know it all, but one thing that I do know is that it is not too late to walk out of the darkness and start living in the real light which is Jesus Christ. I don’t know about *y’all but I want to go to heaven to be with the Father and the Son and I don’t want anything on this Earth to hinder my walk getting there. I realize that some people are truly ignorant of what they are involved in and all we can do is pray for them to gain wisdom in this area. But there are many that KNOW what they are involved in and so they are held accountable for this. I don’t know about *y’all, but I don’t want anyone’s blood on my hands when I stand before the Father. It is one thing to not know, but it is totally different to know and intentionally lead others down the pathway to destruction. For those of you that this applies to, I pray that this stronghold is removed from you and most of all I pray that God has mercy on you.

Amen.

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y’all.

Your Article "The Blind Can't Lead The Blind" was very straight forward and certainly gave food for thought. I want to add that too many times people contradict themselves while being in such organizations. Now while you didn't name said organizations, I have pictured some of them within my mind. I do not see a problem being apart of such organizations, but I do see a problem when one allows it to change their value system or alter their minds away from the "Godly way" to treat people.
Right on Felecia, Right On!
