Could God be as displeased with many Sunday church services today as He was with Israel's worship in Isaiah?
Yes. Isaiah reveals that Israel's dead, man-made religion, though filled with temple worship, rose to God as a stench. The same warning applies to Sunday church services that follow human devices rather than God's power, so God could be equally displeased with such worship today.
Les explains that from the Law given to Moses, Judaism was in a constant state of degeneration, much like entropy, until by Christ's earthly ministry it was a dead, man-made religion with nothing left of the power of God. Although they went through temple worship, Isaiah shows that even Israel's religion came up into God's nostrils as a stench. Les then asked how many church services around the world on Sunday morning God does not feel the same way about, and he warned that this is where mankind can get when they follow their own devices.
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.
