Protestants look at other religions such as Islam or the Catholic Church and spot idolatry well enough. But Protestants are the people who claim to base their faith solely upon the Bible, but is this actually true? This book aims to test the claim that Protestantism is based solely upon the Bible and will show the reader that Protestantism is actually a mixture of Bible-based beliefs and the man-made traditions of the church.
The apostle Paul exhorted believers to test themselves to see whether they are in the faith, and this book is designed to help Bible-believing Christians do just that. It is not written to pastors or professional theologians but to everyday believers, most of whom have accepted the teachings of their church over or alongside the teachings of the Bible.
Every Christian will need to stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of their stewardship of the gospel. Will you pass that test, or will you be rejected for your lack of faithfulness? While most Protestant pastors have been busy telling their congregations about their eternal security and how they are one of God's chosen people, they fail to teach that the Bible actually says we will all be judged according to our works! (Rom 2:6; 2 Cor 5:10; 1 Pet 1:17; Rev 20:12; Psa 62:12; Pro 24:12)
Modern Idolatry tests that claim and shows the reader that Protestantism is actually a mixture of Bible-based beliefs and man-made church traditions. It helps to settle some of the age-old arguments that the Protestant religion has struggled with since its inception-such as the tension between the doctrines of "once saved, always saved" and "the fear of God" and the confusion surrounding what part works should play in our faith. It also looks at issues not often discussed in the Protestant Church today, such as the need to obey Christ and actively serve Him.
It also points out some of the traditions that the Protestant Church has carried over from the Catholic Church from which it came out of and how these link back to Roman paganism, upon which the Catholic Church was partly founded. This book also explores Mystery Babylon, who it is, and its impact on the believer's everyday reality.
