Blind Faith: How Christianity abandoned the Truth, is the second book in a three-part series focused on exposing age-old spiritual beliefs that have been proven to be false. The eternal life doctrine is arguably the most challenging topic to discuss because of the many varied understanding and interpretation of this topic. Yet, it's the most essential if not the fundamental drive as to why so many people are Christians today. If you asked most Christians why they are Christians I bet you among their myriad responses would be the fact that they want to go to heaven. There are those who believe that all you need to get to heaven is faith, while others, including many verses in the Bible point to the fact that we will be judged by our actions, thus making our actions vitally important. Unfortunately, today we have millions of people who are thinking they are going to heaven who might just be heading in the opposite direction. Since then amongst the goals of every Christian is to go to heaven, it's imperative that we get it right; because as it is we do not get a second chance at this or a do over.The second part of the book addresses a new problem in the church - the Prosperity Gospel message. This new doctrine emphasizes on the need to acquire material wealth and maintain good health. The problem with this teaching is that it is so far removed from reality of why we worship and serve God. It also in most cases under serves the congregants or followers who listen to this message and it rewards mostly, if not only the preachers preaching this message. Yet this is not a message that the bible advocates for, not that there is anything wrong with accruing wealth, but because as we shall see, our goal should be to follow God genuinely and not to follow Him because of things we think we can manipulate Him into giving us.
