Mammon and the Counterfeit Church: Why False Christianity Is Dangerous

Why False Christianity Is Dangerous

This essay exposes Mammon as a counterfeit lord,

one that imitates God while demanding loyalty

through wealth and power.

It argues that false Christianity, not rival religions,

 is the greatest threat to the Gospel, 

because it replaces Christ with Mammon under the language of blessing.

The reader is left with Jesus’s uncompromising verdict:

You cannot serve both.

We must be vigilant.

Scripture is playing out.

The Ancient Office

Scripture is playing out, right before our eyes.

The Antichrist is an ancient office.

Fully staffed.

Its leadership handed down from generation to generation.

Of course.

It is anti-Christ and therefore operates through mimicry of the true Church.

It is not difficult to imagine Lucifer saying to his favourite disciple:

“Thou art Iscariot,

and upon that sinking sand,

I shall build my anti-church.”

False Christianity is a greater threat than any other religion.

Others may oppose Christianity openly, on the basis of doctrine.

False Christianity does something far worse.

It seeks to replace Christ with Mammon.

Mammon. What Is It?

Mammon is a biblical word for wealth treated as a master.

It is not merely cash in your pocket.

It is money that claims your heart.

Jesus puts it starkly:

“You cannot serve God and Mammon.”

He does not say, “You should not.”

He says, “You cannot.”

Because Mammon is money elevated into a rival god.

It does not merely make men desire money.

It trains them to pursue it sinfully.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

All that stealing going on,

in churches and in the secular world,

where money is pursued and obtained in ways that corrupt judgment and deform the soul?

The Sinful Reordering of the Soul

Mammon corrupts not by force, but by re-ordering priorities.

Profit outranks truth.

Outranks justice.

Outranks mercy.

Outranks human dignity.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

One word: Elmina.

Two words: Elmina Castle.

When profit outranks human dignity, it does not matter how large the Bibles carried, or how heavy the crosses worn.

Men act in the name of their true god.

Mammon.

How Mammon Works

When Mammon rules, the conscience is dulled gradually.

Never all at once.

It starts small:

• a half-truth

• a delayed payment, carefully justified

• a harmless compromise

Nothing dramatic.

Nothing that feels like evil.

Just enough to move the soul, inch by inch.

When Greed Is Baptized as Wisdom

When Mammon rules, greed is baptized as wisdom.

Scripture is misused as camouflage.

“For the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the children of light.”

Luke 16:8

What Christ spoke as warning becomes justification.

Exploitation becomes “strategy.”

Deception becomes “positioning.”

Oppression becomes “market reality.”

What Scripture calls covetousness, Mammon renames ambition.

The Instrumentalization of People

Under Mammon, people cease to be neighbours.

They become assets or liabilities.

Means to an end.

Blockers.

The moral question shifts.

Not “Is this right?”

But “Is this profitable?”

This is not neutrality.

It is moral collapse disguised as efficiency.

Mammon’s Discipleship

When Mammon rules, righteousness is punished.

Its disciples are taught, patiently and repeatedly, that:

• honesty costs money

• integrity slows growth

• conscience limits scale

And so the progression unfolds.

First, righteousness is ignored.

Then ridiculed.

Then resisted.

Finally punished.

Not from cruelty.

From necessity.

The Systematization of Sin

Mammon does not merely tolerate sin.

It normalizes it.

Systematizes it.

Rewards it.

A good master forms virtue.

A false master forms vice.

Two masters.

Two logics.

Two destinations.

Jesus does not say, “You should not serve Mammon.”

He says, You cannot.

The only real choice is to take Jesus at His word,

or attempt to prove Him mistaken.

I rest my case.
