The Genetically Engineered Church

by Van Robison

Has the Church been modified with a spiritual genetic tampering? Many Christians the world over have been asking this question. What is genetic engineering? In the physical realm of life, it is said that genetic engineering is a technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. It is also said that through genetic manipulation, scientists can alter plants, animals and micro-organisms in a way that does not occur naturally. It is also believed that these modified organisms can spread through nature and interbreed with natural organisms thereby contaminating the environment we live in. Once released into the world we live in, those modified organisms cannot be recalled. Who can really say what the future holds for genetic engineering in the very food we eat? While the public is led to believe that genetic engineering is for the benefit of mankind, there is always the possibility that the real motives for tampering with nature have to do with profits--$$$.

Does the church world also have tunnel vision? The natural mind of man always, always will do mental gymnastics to make people believe that what is being done is for the "good" and "well being" of the public at large. The same is true in the world of churches, as millions of Christians are spiritually genetically engineered with all sorts of "clergy" ideas. Having a pretense of being "Biblical", or using the name of Jesus Christ, many Christians have been led down a path that differs with the real, living Jesus Christ of the Bible. Is it possible that millions of Christians have been spiritually engineered to accommodate the pocket books of church leaders? And is it possible that millions of Christians have been spiritually engineered to satisfy the lust for power and control over the lives of the spiritual flock?

The Holy, Awesome, True, and Real Living Jesus Christ is still the Living Bread and Living Waters of life, but the world of "Christian" religion has been spiritually modified with church fads of all kinds. Christians have been engineered to believe in many false doctrines, false teachings, and false teachers, who come in the name of Jesus Christ. Once released into the world, these fake spiritual organisms breed with other false spiritual ideas and perpetuate from generation to generation. There never was and never will be in a hundred million years, another Savior besides Jesus Christ. And yet countless church goers pass through the doors of the church laboratories every week, where they are genetically engineered with all sorts of false spiritual DNA.

Virtually anything in life that places pastors, churches, church buildings, church temples, church doctrines, church creeds, church priests, church rituals, or church leadership over and above Jesus Christ is plain and simple---idolatry, and the worship of false gods. If your pastor or priest stands in the place of Jesus Christ in your life, you have been spiritually genetically modified. No man is God. No physical church temple, even if is costs a billion dollars to build is where Jesus Christ lives. Anyone who reads the Bible will clearly learn that Jesus Christ dwells in His people through the Holy Spirit. So does your man-pastor or man-priest dwell in you? If they do, then your god is man, and not Jesus Christ. According to scripture, the only mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5).

Christ never came with a Gospel about "The Purpose Driven Church", "Promise Keepers", church authoritarianism or top down control, other than the fact that Jesus Christ is the one and only Head of the Body. If you think your King James Bible is properly translated because it says "obey those who have the authority over you" in Hebrews 13:17, it would behoove you to dig deep and do a little research and study. The only Master is Jesus Christ (Matthew 23:8). The clergy/pastor system of churchianity wants all Christians to believe that eternal life and salvation comes through the doors of "going to church" and "professional" clergy. The institutional church system has spiritually modified the teachings of Jesus Christ, because the focus of the followers of Jesus Christ is Jesus Christ, not "professional" clergy. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and THEY FOLLOW ME"--John 10:27. Sheep who follow wolves in sheep's clothing, will be devoured by wolves. Wolves in sheep's clothing make disciples and followers of themselves.

Sheep who have been spiritually genetically engineered, are not hearing the voice of Jesus Christ and following Jesus Christ, because they have been programed to hear the voice of paid hirelings and to become disciples of "professional" clergy. To become deprogrammed, for those who have ears to hear, it may be necessary to exit churchianity, and to find fellowship with disciples that are following the Chief Shepherd, and who hear the voice of Jesus Christ. And if that type of fellowship is impossible, then for sure fellowship with Jesus Christ is always possible for anyone who has the Holy Spirit living in them, which is Jesus Christ living in them at all times. The teachings of Jesus Christ in the four Gospels of the New Testament are readily available to anyone who has a hunger and a thirst for truth.
