How does false religion make merchandise of men's souls?

Answered in 1 source

False religion exploits people's souls for profit, prioritizing material gain over spiritual welfare.

False religion often turns the gospel into a means of profit, as described in 2 Peter 2:1-3. It exploits the ignorance and needs of people by promoting doctrines that may appear beneficial but are ultimately harmful, leading them away from the truth of Christ. These false teachers often know the gospel but fail to proclaim its full truth to protect their congregations and financial support. Instead of feeding souls with the true gospel, they offer empty promises and works-based salvation, which diminishes the glory of Christ and prioritizes their gain over genuine spiritual nourishment. Consequently, this practice warrants divine judgment and condemnation.
