DEISM VS. REVEALED RELIGION
" " Revelation, or revealed religion, is defined in Webster's New
World Dictionary as: "God's disclosure to man of Himself." This should
read, "God's alleged disclosure to man of himself."
For unless God reveals to each of us individually that a particular
religion is truly His disclosure to us of Himself, then, by believing
that religion, we are not taking His word for it, but we are instead
putting our belief in the person or institution telling us it is so.
This is what we are doing when we believe in any revealed religion,
and that's all Christianity is. It's a revealed religion like many
others such as Islam and Judaism. Revealed religion gets dangerous
however, when it crosses over the line into politics.
This is the admitted goal of the Christian Coalition. God allegedly
revealed to Pat Robertson and his Coalition, that He wants them to
take over America and eventually the world with "His Word," so the
laws of the nations will mirror the laws in the Bible, which, if you
know what's in the Bible, is terrifying.
This, too, is what the Ayatollah's goal was, only his "revealed word
of God" was the Koran, an other revelation. Are we to believe Pat when
he says the Bible is revelation of God's Word? " "

Deism... a wonderful example of Ro. 1:18,19 " For the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God
made it evident to them. "
and Ro. 8:7 " the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. "
and ultimately, Joh. 10:26 " "But you do not believe, because you
are not of My sheep. "
but rather " You are of [your] father the devil, and you want to do
the desires of your father.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks
from his own [nature;] for he is a liar, and the father of lies. "
Joh. 8:44
