These demonic religions are the path to destruction for eternity as no human works can cover our imperfection which falls short of God&#8217;s standard of perfection, and no sacrifices other than Christ&#8217;s can credit you with righteous. So no one comes to heaven and God except through Christ, who was God in His creation as one of us, who was the payment for our transgressions against a holy God, making God just and justifier for those that trust in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Deuteronomy 32:15\u201318<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;15] \u201cBut Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked;\n    you grew fat, stout, and sleek;\nthen he forsook God who made him\n    and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.\n&#91;16] They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;\n    with abominations they provoked him to anger.\n&#91;17] They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,\n    to gods they had never known,\nto new gods that had come recently,\n    whom your fathers had never dreaded.\n&#91;18] You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you,\n    and you forgot the God who gave you birth.

God is telling creation that He is going to take vengeance on all those who hate Him, putting them to the sword, and there is none that can deliver out of His hand. Anyone that discounts the Bible rejecting Jesus should read the book of Revelation, so when you see it happening before your eyes you&#8217;ll know God is real and He told you exactly what is coming at the end of this age, before His return as King of Kings.

let the earth hear the words of my mouth.\n&#91;2] May my teaching drop as the rain,\n    my speech distill as the dew,\nlike gentle rain upon the tender grass,\n    and like showers upon the herb.\n&#91;3] For I will proclaim the name of the LORD;\n    ascribe greatness to our God!\n\n\n&#91;4] \u201cThe Rock, his work is perfect,\n    for all his ways are justice.\nA God of faithfulness and without iniquity,\n    just and upright is he.\n&#91;5] They have dealt corruptly with him;\n    they are no longer his children because they are blemished;\n    they are a crooked and twisted generation.\n&#91;6] Do you thus repay the LORD,\n    you foolish and senseless people?\nIs not he your father, who created you,\n    who made you and established you?\n&#91;7] Remember the days of old;\n    consider the years of many generations;\nask your father, and he will show you,\n    your elders, and they will tell you.\n&#91;8] When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,\n    when he divided mankind,\nhe fixed the borders of the peoples\n    according to the number of the sons of God.\n&#91;9] But the LORD\u2019s portion is his people,\n    Jacob his allotted heritage.\n\n\n&#91;10] \u201cHe found him in a desert land,\n    and in the howling waste of the wilderness;\nhe encircled him, he cared for him,\n    he kept him as the apple of his eye.\n&#91;11] Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,\n    that flutters over its young,\nspreading out its wings, catching them,\n    bearing them on its pinions,\n&#91;12] the LORD alone guided him,\n    no foreign god was with him.\n&#91;13] He made him ride on the high places of the land,\n    and he ate the produce of the field,\nand he suckled him with honey out of the rock,\n    and oil out of the flinty rock.\n&#91;14] Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,\n    with fat of lambs,\nrams of Bashan and goats,\n    with the very finest of the wheat\u2014\n    and you drank foaming wine made from the blood of the grape.\n\n\n&#91;15] \u201cBut Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked;\n    you grew fat, stout, and sleek;\nthen he forsook God who made him\n    and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.\n&#91;16] They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;\n    with abominations they provoked him to anger.\n&#91;17] They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,\n    to gods they had never known,\nto new gods that had come recently,\n    whom your fathers had never dreaded.\n&#91;18] You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you,\n    and you forgot the God who gave you birth.\n\n\n&#91;19] \u201cThe LORD saw it and spurned them,\n    because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.\n&#91;20] And he said, \u2018I will hide my face from them;\n    I will see what their end will be,\nfor they are a perverse generation,\n    children in whom is no faithfulness.\n&#91;21] They have made me jealous with what is no god;\n    they have provoked me to anger with their idols.\nSo I will make them jealous with those who are no people;\n    I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.\n&#91;22] For a fire is kindled by my anger,\n    and it burns to the depths of Sheol,\ndevours the earth and its increase,\n    and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.\n\n\n&#91;23] \u201c\u2018And I will heap disasters upon them;\n    I will spend my arrows on them;\n&#91;24] they shall be wasted with hunger,\n    and devoured by plague\n    and poisonous pestilence;\nI will send the teeth of beasts against them,\n    with the venom of things that crawl in the dust.\n&#91;25] Outdoors the sword shall bereave,\n    and indoors terror,\nfor young man and woman alike,\n    the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.\n&#91;26] I would have said, \u201cI will cut them to pieces;\n    I will wipe them from human memory,\u201d\n&#91;27] had I not feared provocation by the enemy,\n    lest their adversaries should misunderstand,\nlest they should say, \u201cOur hand is triumphant,\n    it was not the LORD who did all this.\u201d\u2019\n\n\n&#91;28] \u201cFor they are a nation void of counsel,\n    and there is no understanding in them.\n&#91;29] If they were wise, they would understand this;\n    they would discern their latter end!\n&#91;30] How could one have chased a thousand,\n    and two have put ten thousand to flight,\nunless their Rock had sold them,\n    and the LORD had given them up?\n&#91;31] For their rock is not as our Rock;\n    our enemies are by themselves.\n&#91;32] For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom\n    and from the fields of Gomorrah;\ntheir grapes are grapes of poison;\n    their clusters are bitter;\n&#91;33] their wine is the poison of serpents\n    and the cruel venom of asps.\n\n\n&#91;34] \u201c\u2018Is not this laid up in store with me,\n    sealed up in my treasuries?\n&#91;35] Vengeance is mine, and recompense,\n    for the time when their foot shall slip;\nfor the day of their calamity is at hand,\n    and their doom comes swiftly.\u2019\n&#91;36] For the LORD will vindicate his people\n    and have compassion on his servants,\nwhen he sees that their power is gone\n    and there is none remaining, bond or free.\n&#91;37] Then he will say, \u2018Where are their gods,\n    the rock in which they took refuge,\n&#91;38] who ate the fat of their sacrifices\n    and drank the wine of their drink offering?\nLet them rise up and help you;\n    let them be your protection!\n\n\n&#91;39] \u201c\u2018See now that I, even I, am he,\n    and there is no god beside me;\nI kill and I make alive;\n    I wound and I heal;\n    and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.\n&#91;40] For I lift up my hand to heaven\n    and swear, As I live forever,\n&#91;41] if I sharpen my flashing sword\n    and my hand takes hold on judgment,\nI will take vengeance on my adversaries\n    and will repay those who hate me.\n&#91;42] I will make my arrows drunk with blood,\n    and my sword shall devour flesh\u2014\nwith the blood of the slain and the captives,\n    from the long-haired heads of the enemy.\u2019\n\n\n&#91;43] \u201cRejoice with him, O heavens;\n    bow down to him, all gods,\nfor he avenges the blood of his children\n    and takes vengeance on his adversaries.\nHe repays those who hate him\n    and cleanses his people\u2019s land.\u201d\n\n\n&#91;44] Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun. &#91;45] And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, &#91;46] he said to them, \u201cTake to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of

[50] And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, [51] because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel.
