“And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 4:28, 29.
Pagan idolatrous nature worship is in full swing. Not only are people being encouraged to confess their ecological sins but schools and churches are being profaned with pagan worship. This is the result of the Vatican’s Amazonian Synod which has been converting Christians into earth worshippers. [1]
A pagan idol called an “Indigenous Friendship Symbol” was recently installed at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School in British Columbia, Canada. [2] There was a special dedication ceremony that was attended by members of the indigenous First Nations people – a Native American tribe in British Columbia. The hand-carved idol was made by the First Nations tribe and was a message to the Catholic community expressing that they along with native Americans are “one family.” [3]
Interfaith unity and ecological unity are one; they are the same. They bring us all to Rome. According to news reports this indigenous “pole” (idol) was commissioned by a Roman Catholic religious order. There was even an indigenous “traditional blessing” service (pagan worship) during the dedication of this idol. Catholic school children were encouraged to participate in these interfaith spiritualistic rituals:
“The pole will be located outside the entrance to St. Thomas Aquinas. The project was commissioned by the Sisters of the Child Jesus, who are the founders of the private Catholic school. The ceremony lasted approximately one hour and included a blanket and bandana ceremony, a traditional blessing of the Welcome Pole, and a call to witnesses.” [4]
Whenever we begin adopting the pantheistic belief that God is nature, we start treating the earth as sacred and in need of reverence. This is what Rome has adopted and is pushing through its eco-religion. Everything in life is interconnected. Every faith is connected. We are part of the land and of the environment. Whenever we pollute the earth we desecrate the “Spirits.”
Today, many people have ceased to worship God completely and instead have embraced nature worship, idols and pagan philosophies all in the name of saving the environment. We do not honor the Creator with absurd idolatry and superstitions. God’s word tells us that these practices only cause men and women to degrade themselves and leads to vile and abominable deeds and affections.“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” Romans 1:24, 25.
Instead of adopting the traditional spiritual practices of paganism we need to embrace and preach the First Angel’s Message to the whole world. Instead of worshiping the creation we need to worship the Creator who made the heavens and the earth.
“Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters” (Revelation 14:7).
