Church Propagation (Free verse) by Dovina

As truth is forgotten, piety appears. As wisdom wanes, cleverness and knowledge shine. As peace declines, organization grips. When chaos arrives, A new church is born.

I am happy you are piqued and offended. It’s a sign of success. But why should it be because you are a Christian? Observe that as a church forgets the truth of the Gospel, it usually compensates with observances in fake religion which Jesus would have lashed out at, possibly with a whip. The religion of His day had degraded into a form which we can lump into the dirty word “piety.”

“You can't know wisdom, but you can be it, at ease in your own life.” Tao Te Ching. As wisdom in the church wanes, compensation comes in cleverness and knowledge. I just observe these things happening; it is not a position statement as you seem to think. These degradations lead to arguments, which lead to stricter organization. If the situation degrades into strife and chaos, then a portion of the people leave and form another church. Thanks for your comment.
