Indeed the salt of Christianity has lost its flavor due to the corrupt

teachings of orthodox Christian dogma. Many Christians now walk a path towards Hell. Righteousness no longer matters in life. However, Christ has the last laugh because while the “forces of Hell shall not prevail against the Church of Christ”—few realize that the real Church are those who sincerely

believe in God Almighty. It is collectively those who walk in God’s light. Church buildings and those who visit them are irrelevant in eternity. God dwells in the praises of His people, not in man made buildings. Your heart will determine your eternal fate, not where you attend church services.

Jesus said: “You [righteous people of God] are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor [truth], how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” Matthew 5:13

Examining the phases of spiritual influence on man and the resulting curve will reveal God’s secret plan for Christ. These characteristics are summarized in the table below. Phase 6 is only shown on the graph. When

evil bottoms out in Phase 6, it will be the second coming of Christ as a Lion of Judah. Many souls will be destroyed by sin, but God saves the righteous.

Phase Strength of Influence Characteristics 1 God communicated verbally and direct with man. It was His plan

to have a heavenly place on earth for man called Eden. God would watch over man and take care of him; His voice would be the primary influence on man.

2 Eve and Adam disobey God. That is the first time sin entered the life of man. The sin they committed revealed the other side of knowledge, which is the part involving evil. A new and permanent

level was established in which Satan would operate from. Man was now subject to the daily thoughts of evil from Satan as well as the good thoughts from God. God dropped the plan He originally had for a direct verbal fellowship. Man died an immediate

spiritual death in the form of separation from God. Later, God limited man’s earthly life to 120. [Gen. 6:3]
