S2 - #67 A PEOPLE LADEN WITH INIQUITY

We may be devout believers, performing all the traditions and mechanics of our religion, yet be rejected by God because of iniquity. In this jarring lesson, Brother Singh compares the Body of Christ today to Israel during the 8th Century BCE. Iniquity may be the most misunderstood offense in scripture. It offends God, and He utterly rejects it, yet it is so easy for God's people to fall into the trap of this pernicious offense. Iniquity is “any form” of religious activity that God has not approved. It typically involves human traditions and philosophy that circumvent the requirement that we "must worship Him in Spirit and truth." (John 4:24) In Isaiah chapter one, God laments over children He reared and brought up, yet they rebelled against Him. He accuses them of being less appreciative than animals, “for an ox knows its owner and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know” — God’s people are devoid of understanding.
