Does God feel the same way about many Sunday church services as He did about Israel's worship in Isaiah?
Yes. Israel's worship in Isaiah came to God as a stench, and it is wondered how many Sunday morning church services God may regard the same way. Isaiah 1:11 is cited as God's Word, showing man-made religion can become abhorrent when people follow their own devices.
Les teaches that from the Law given to Moses around 1500 B.C., Judaism was in constant degeneration. By Christ's earthly ministry, it was nothing but a dead, man-made religion; there was nothing left of the power of God in it. They still went through temple worship, but Israel's religion came up into God's nostrils as a stench. Les cites Isaiah chapter 1, starting at verse 11, as the Word of God, not his own idea. He says this is frightening because it shows where mankind can get when they follow their own devices. He then raises the same concern about Sunday morning church services around the world, asking how many God may view the same way.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
