We receive the elements to remember by commanded ritual that which we give thanks for.
So basically God is putting on a deceptive ‘show’ for us humans; a theatrical performance of smoke and mirrors; instituted and designed so that God can ‘feed’ off of our ‘thanks’ to him. That is called Paganism (anything which outside of the ‘authentic Christianity’).
John 3:16 says that God gives down to us so we can believe. In all other religions, the deity needs to feed off of us (which makes it a pet).
In many places, the OT demonstrates mankind’s ‘natural religion’ and his deity in great detail. Yet it also type-shadows the ‘True religion’ which is to come. I myself can certainly NOT discern which is which on my own, regardless though, basic human reason tells us that a shadow of a thing is NOT the thing itself. So why would I attempt to do such thing?
Regardless, history demonstrates that countless
apostate men have fallen into the temptation of making shadows into actual things; and likewise, real things into shadows. This particular ‘path’ to apostasy is accomplished through men’s
own imaginations.
The apostate’s own imagination becomes God himslef. He may loudly praise Jesus day and night, but it’s merely a phantom - a Jesus made by his imagination, resulting in a ‘Christianity’ made by his imagination. He therefore is praising no one but his own imagination.
The God of his imagination becomes like any other pagan god; it needs to be fed. But since this god lives in his own imagination, it is also fed and kept alive by the mans imagination; therefore, his Jesus can only live if it is fed by has ‘mental powers’ (which in reality are demonic catchphrases and slogans giving him false assurance in his false Christianity).
So naturally since his salvation lives in nis own imagination, he wants to keep it there. And he wants to advocate and protect the rights of others to follow his way of salvation.
But that old stumbling block is still there - the priesthood and liturgy who feed people LITERALLY; where God is in REALITY. He must continously discredit them, because any THOUGHT of their legitimacy entering into his MIND, automatically wars against the lord of his salvation - his own imagination.
