DOGE Land “Pay to Pray, Baby!”
“Don’t Sin. Pay the Government to Sin For You”
“Puritans, Get Your Sin On!”
“What Happens in DOGE Land, Stays in DOGE Land”
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
Acts 8:18-24
“My Faith Makes Me Filthy Rich!”
Pay to Pray
In Acts 8 Simon the Sorcerer saw a moneymaking opportunity to get rich on this whole religious thing. Simon Peter identified this charged him with, “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!”
The Protestant Reformation began because the Church became entwined with politics. Politicians could buy forgiveness of sins through purchased “Indulgences.” Churches sold pew seats to the highest bidder. Political influence became the gospel cash cow of the church. Martin Luther in response to this corruption, nailed his “95 Theses” to the Wittenburg Church castle door, which marked the start of the Protestant Reformation.
Funding politicians to perform their corrupt political deeds while hiding behind a worn cross, is nothing short of creating a system of Christian Voyeurism … a Peeping Tom Gospel, which proclaims, “Don’t sin! Let the politicians sin for you.” Today, the United States watches as cross-wearing politicians sell the U.S. Government to the highest bidder. Ethical business guardrails are cutoff so that the DOGEcoins of corruption can flow freely into oligarch pockets. While wearing jeweled crosses, spokespersons grin as they detail how the Government kidnaps people off U.S. streets to rendition them to a for-profit concentration camp in El Salvador.
Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the LORD’s support and say, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us.”
