The coronation and cultural brainwashing
I wasn’t planning on watching the coronation as it didn’t sit right with my spirit, however my daughter wanted to so we ended up catching up with the replay. I feel it’s better to watch this kind of stuff together, at least I can add my ‘commentary.’
It was a ‘Christian’ ceremony. Lots of words about Jesus Christ and serving God. Yet in the droning, robotic voices, I found it hard to take in the words.
Charles has said he is a Christian, but he is also on the record as saying there are many paths to God.
The ceremony was full of the most bizarre rituals involving various swords, orbs and a screen that the King was hidden behind while he was anointed with oil.
Where does it all come from? It sounds like old Testament stuff, when God would announce who the next King would be and then he would be anointed with oil. And yet, in the beginning God only gave the Israelites a King because they were jealous of the other tribes who had one and kept asking for one. God was annoyed with them for not fully trusting in him and looking to man for guidance. And I don’t think this was ever meant to be a ritual for other nations to adopt and twist.
It makes me sad that millions of viewers will watch this thinking that this is what it means to be Christian. Boring voices, a lot of pomp and bizarre rituals, something old-fashioned that should be kept in the past. Jesus came to free us from religion, to call out the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of the time. I can’t help but see these leaders in the same light.
If you read the book of Acts in the Bible the early church after the resurrection of Jesus looks like something very different. People met informally in each other’s houses. They pooled all their money to share with those that had need. They healed the sick and performed miracles. They cast out demons and dreamt and prophesised. The spirit of Jesus is alive to this day, and in all believers. It should feel joyous, and lively. If it doesn’t, then it’s not of God.
Christianity is not a man sitting in a gold dressing gown, and then getting into a carriage decorated with Roman gods and goddesses. Yet millions of viewers will believe that’s the case. Something old and outdated, to get rid of as we merge in a multi-faith harmony conducted by our new King Charles and his pals at the WEF and UN, in partnership with the Lucis (formerly Lucifer Trust).
We must always love, and respect people’s free will to choose their path, but I feel it’s also important to call out the cultural brainwashing at work, to try to lead you on a path that is ultimately away from Christ towards the anti-Christ.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14)
It is not easy to find this path, in a world that has given you so many distractions to lead you away from it. But I pray that amidst all the pomp and ceremony that someone will hear the message that Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life, the only way to the father is through me.’
