The Absurdity of reading a spiritual book with an unspiritual mind

Christianity is badly marred from the sustained and vehement yet subtle attacks mounted by the enemy.
The archenemy of this wonderful faith is Satan. He is patient, for he didn't achieve this over night.
Like a beaver, he has eaten the tree that constitutes the Christian life bit by bit.
His most potent weapon is adulteration, contamination or perversion, if you like. The introduction of extraneous materials into an original, for the purpose of distortion.
He has used this weapon as far back as the Garden of Eden were he talked eve out of the commandment of God by introducing ONE word:” Thou shall NOT surely die" as opposed to "Thou shall surely die".
That introduction brought the harmony of nature to a grinding halt. Then
Evil crept in until now it reigns supreme. Like a mountain, it towers on Earth’s landscape and casts a long and dark shadow over all. Light is almost totally blocked out. That which remains is dim and insufficient until lately.
But God is not helpless in all this. Like it is written, in the book of Ecclesiastes,” there is a time and PURPOSE for EVERYTHING under the earth’.
Evil, strange as it may seem, has a role to play. Temptations and Trials too.
There is a simple law embedded in the Bible, that says that EVERY child that comes to God MUST first be tested.
It doesn't make much sense to the carnal, unspiritual mind. But look at what obtains in the natural; Gold is subjected to fire, not to destroy it but to take away the impurities or attachments. Now this fire heats it up to the point of melting!
Jesus was LED to be tempted by the Devil to prove him.
Satan was bound for a 1000 years in the duration of the millennium and subsequently let LOOSE to deceive.
There is not a chance occurrence in all these things. It is all by design.
Man has been given the Bible, which is a spiritual book, to live by. He tries to understand it intellectually, using his five senses as a judge for its accuracy and interpretation.
That is an erroneous approach. What we have as a result of this is, lots and lots of confusion.
Christians read from ONE book, the Bible, yet it will be an uphill task to say how much the number of interpretations there are. Possibly, thousands and counting.
What has resulted from reading a spiritual book, unspiritually or carnally are these:
The tearing, chopping, and ripping of the ONE God, into three entities.
Unscriptural baptismal formula in the TITLES of the chopped up entities
Appealing to the shadows of the Old Testament instead of The SUBSTANCE to which they pointed.
The ridiculous teaching, inspite of the truth having been made manifest, that the original sin came from eating an Apple! The original sin came from transgressing God's Word through an act of Adultery.
The neglect of the command for men and women to dress distinct from one another. God’s Word forbids cross-dressing.
The role of women in the church. Exalting women to leadership positions.If she is not allowed to head any home, how can she do so in God’s House?
The disgraceful portrayal of Grace: as a license to perpetrate nonsense.
This list is by no means exhaustive. There are lots of other things as there are lots of denominations.
God has looked down from Heaven and just as He could no longer bear the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, even so is He uncomfortable with our Age.
But He has a principle of warning first before pouring out His judgment. Therefore He has sent a message through a messenger.
The message is now in the land: judgment is imminent. There shall be no hiding place.
All excuses are no longer tenable! The message is here and now!
