It is inevitable that churches become part of a totalitarian state - therefore obedience to a church = damnation

If you consider the nature of the kind of totalitarian society we inhabit in The West, it can be seen that it is inevitable that churches - including Christian churches - will be parts of The System. 

This to the same extent that these churches exist in the public realm as legal/ economic/ financial/ employing/ educational etc.) entities. 

(The nature of a totalitarian society is that all significant social institutions are necessarily part of the system of surveillance and control.)

Thus, in a totalitarian society, insofar as they are significant social systems; churches will be part of The System - that is, part of the totalitarian system. 

And, totalitarian = evil* 

Therefore (under totalitarianism, in The West here-and-now) churches are evil institutions: evil in overall-effect and by their overall-aim. 

 

The consequence is that (as a strong generalization):

Obedience to churches = obedience to evil.

Which means a positive choice to reject the salvation of Jesus Christ, and instead to choose damnation. 

This is understandable on the basis that the totalitarianism is materialism, and operates by "brainwashing" people (by multiple means) to regard the external and the material a primary; and to subordinate, ignore or deny the inner intuitive and the spiritual. 

Churches are readily encompassed into totalitarianism; insofar as they actually function on the basis of quasi-objective laws, rules, dogmas, written documents with fixed conceptual interpretations, on the one side; and particular publicly observable behaviours (speech, writing, actions...), on the other. 

Therefore; under totalitarianism, any church that operates on the basis of public obedience to publicly observable and regulate-able behaviours is doing the work of evil: doing evil terms of training its members to regard "the external" and "the material" as primary and mandatory. 

(It is the doctrine that salvation depends on the principle of obedience to a church which is so pernicious, rather than the specific content of that obedience.) 

So; any church is evil in requiring obedience to itself (which is a social institution) as necessary to avoid damnation - when in reality this obedience is itself, precisely, damnation. 

It can be seen that under totalitarianism; the churches (which are part-of The System) engage in the same institutionally-imposed value-inversion that characterize totalitarian evil. 

*Totalitarianism is evil because it is a manifestation of that kind of "materialist", anti-life, anti-human evil termed Ahrimanic; therefore evil by its aim, and also intrinsically - by its nature. 

NOTE ADDED: I realize that real Christians who are members of churches do not obey them (except selectively, and on the basis of intuition and spiritual guidance). However, too many of these people are currently dishonest or self-blinded as to the necessity of their own and personal discernment; which is itself a weakness and/or a sin - doubly so when they pretend to church obedience as necessary to salvation. It is therefore important that such people understand what they are actually-already doing, and why; and are explicit and honest about what they are doing (at least in their own minds, if not publicly).
