If the Jews are still under this curse because of their deep unbelief and what they have done to Jesus the Son of God! The Gentiles have not done better and they also still bear the curse, for in this spiritual state they remain separated from God, which is real death, cut off from the living God! It is obvious that having the Ten Commandments has not made any difference to the character of man, whether he be a Jew or a Gentile. I will just remind you of a couple of verses written to the Roman Christians which I mentioned before: ‘The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of men that suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known of God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men (All men) are without excuse.’ (Romans 1: 18-19) What men call ‘mother nature’do not realise what they are saying! God alone is in charge of His world hence of nature also.

The true spiritual condition of humanity in general, in the eyes of its Creator, is only made plain in the Bible, it is only in it, that God shows how much He hates sin, and that being righteous He must judge it; the final penalty will be the second death! It is the main reason why people shun the Gospel, and do not believe it, repudiate it, it is because it makes them feel uneasy, it condemns them without mercy. Nevertheless, we must note that there is a deep resistance by most people to the truth God unveils in the Holy Book! This attitude, in all men, has not change for centuries, but it remains to this very day the factual teaching of the Gospel! This truth is a great offence to all self-righteous people, some of them even go to a church, but they believe in another God. 

This going to Church is a religion, outside of church such folk live as everyone else! ‘Going to Church’ has saved no-one, but saved people do go to church! it is a very important part of their relationship to Jesus and other Christians, a very important part of the testimony to their love for Jesus! It is in the assembling of saints that God comes to meet them, Jesus said: ‘For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.’ (Matthew 18:20) God does not dwell in temples, but he always meets people that come together in His name! How about that, a church is people, an assembly of people called by Christ, meeting together to praise God in the Spirit and in truth. It can be in a room, a cellar, an attic or even in a forest, and Jesus is with them! 

The most terrible lie, that it is now broadly accepted by the majority, is, that all religions, are different ways to the same god, it produces a terrible contradiction, because what they teach about sin and man’s spiritual condition, accentuates man’s hopeless state, and the guilt factor is very strong, because of their erroneous teachings? Among the Roman Catholics, there is a permanent accent on sin and the need of confessions, the same sins repeated time and time again, are never forgiven! It always demands action from the confessor, but it never provides a remedy or a deliverance, in other words pardon of their sin is not permanent, there is a constant repetition of the same formula for they sin the same sins! It is living under the law again, and this is what much of religion is, a constant reminder of their worthlessness. But that is not what God has provided in Christ. The apostle John writes to Christians and says: ‘If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness… The blood of Jesus, His son, purifies us from our sin’ (1 John 1: 10) In Hebrews the Apostle Paul writes: ‘For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.’ (Hebrews 8: 12) It is all established by men that want to keep this power over people, and claim that they alone can forgive sins. Therefore, and above all, Jesus teaches that confession is made directly to God through Him and not Peter or Paul, even Mary or some other saint. Sin is ever on their mind and it drives men to despair, they tend to hurt themselves, whip their bodies until they bleed; men cut themselves, they do it to atone for their sin, in monasteries, and in secret. Some deprive themselves from various pleasures etcetera, to atone for their sins, whereas sins are disobeying God, not loving God, is the greatest of sins!
