False gods
There is too much corruption being represented as God's work, while it is satan's work. Here's a clarification of the subject.
To do something to someone is always a corruption. To extract a price from someone is always a corruption. To convince someone to pay a willing price is a virtue. There is a basic truism involved. A price that a person willingly pays is virtue, but a price that is extracted is always sin.
The false gods always extract prices, and the servants of the false gods are always extracting prices from someone for their god or gods. The true God never extracts a price, and moral persons never extract a price from someone for God.
Subservience is willingly paying a price for a moral and constructive purpose. Christ taught people to be subservient (Mat 20:25-28)(Mark 10:42-45). He never forced subservience out of anyone. Corrupters always do.
This line seems to be too vague for corrupt persons. They assume that extracting prices and forcing others into subservience is doing God's work. Many dupes get drawn into such corruption assuming they are doing God's work. It never is. It is the work of satan or the false gods like him.
The reason why is informative. If a person can extract a price form someone else, how much of a price should be extracted? Is there a line someplace which tells how much? It is a truism that if there needs to be a line which tells the difference between enough and too much it is always a corruption, because such a line will always be crossed. Corruption has no limits. A moral person would never do something which would be a tool of corruption for someone else. A moral person would never produce a little bit of corruption, because sin is not defined by quantity. A little bit of sin is still sin.
One person cannot determine how much of a price another person could or should pay. If the paying person cannot decide, someone else certainly cannot.
One problem is quality of information. The paying person knows the total consequence. The imposer knows nothing about the consequence, because someone else is paying the price.
The false gods have created a culture of servitude and sacrifice. Everyone pays some price in their world, which more or less means the planet earth world. Not only must everyone pay, but some must die so others can live.
This culture is the diabolical opposite of the perpetual struggle for justice by the victims who summarized five or ten thousand years of struggle for justice with the US Constitution which says there are rights which are self-evident and inalienable. The culture of servitude and sacrifice respects no such rights.
Christ imposed nothing. He taught that it is mercy God wants, not sacrifice (Mat 9-13, 12-7). This theology is a definitive difference between the true God and the false gods. The true God never extracts anything from anyone or imposing anything upon anyone. The false gods always do.
