Why do many American Christians Today Oppose the Values of Jesus? In recent years,why have most evangelical Christians been more concerned with political "winning"over soul-winning? Why have they been willing to "deal with the Devil" to furthertheir interests and agenda, and disregard their call to "love thy neighbor," and itsimpact on their witness to the world and reputation of the Church? Why do theircalls to limit government assistance and citizen protections mirror those of thefinancial, business and wealth classes? Do these modern values reflect the sermonsand gospel they hear on Sundays, or the "sermons" they hear on talk radio and cablenews during the week, like the Pharisees whom Christ opposed? How did this"cognitive dissonance" arise in recent generations of Christians, and by whosehidden hands did they infiltrate the doors of the church? These questions and otherswill be addressed in full in this first installment of the Two Masters and TwoGospels series, by a Bible-believing Christian researcher who has uncovered shockinginfluences and culprits from the darkest corners of both the Mammon-worshipingestablishment and Gnostic counter-culture, into the minds of generations of clergy,and through them into the Christian community at large. It explores the observablechanges in the attitudes, perceptions of and interactions with the outside world byAmerica''s Religious Right and evangelical base in the recent years of the "Trumpphenomena," finding in their new president a messianic figure and an apparentexpression of the collective "id" of their embattled culture and heritage ofpreeminent societal stewardship. However, have they made a "Faustian bargain" withthe aim of a reclamation of short-term power and influence, and if so, which partyis the compromising Faust, and which is the seducing Devil? Furthermore, have theysacrificed their (sometimes) historical role in society of spiritual guardianshipand ethical example and leadership, "despising their birthright" of such like Esau,for a "mess of Trump porridge," or worse yet, in exchange for thirty pieces ofsilver? So how have most of today''s Religious Right-affiliated "salt of the earth"citizens developed a mindset and attitude towards others and the issues of the day,expressing clannish pride, xenophobic paranoia of the "stranger" outside their ownclan as well as a disregard for their suffering, and an exaltation of the wealthy,worldly successful and arrogant, in direct contradiction to the Sermon-on-the-MountKingdom principles of humility and "others-centeredness" taught by their own Founderand Savior? This work asserts that this paradox is best explained upon considerationof the "other gospel" most Christians are exposed to every week, as countless hoursof exposure to talk radio and cable news during their commutes, work day and eveningmeal simply dwarfs the influence from their house of worship, propagating a"business-friendly" worldview. This work also reviews a score or more of thepertinent "hot button" issues of the day, and reveals how the teachings of Jesus andthe saints as recorded in scripture bears little similarity to the media "gospel"that despises the poor, the stranger, and other "undesirables." Worse yet is thediscovery, in the little-known historical investigation within this work, that ourown Christian leaders colluded with Big Business interests in the New Deal-era tofight forms of public assistance, paid for with hard cash, who in turn usedChristian media to train our national clergy and public, using guides under darkGnostic spiritual influences, with biblical prophetic implications. This modern-eraexposure of our Christian leaders "riding the Beast" of the ancient, money-obsessed"Great City Babylon," and which provides impeccable documentation and dares to "namenames," is intended to provide spiritual insight both to the orthodox Christian, andthe moral, authenticity-seeking unbeliever.
