Many Christians today heavily rely upon the present day
Theologians to tell them how to believe. They think that
these teachers must be right because they are suppose to
know God's will and thus we must follow what they teach.
Unfortunately people have forgotten the basic principle to
following the teachings of Christ.
Christ came not so we would become robots thinking the same kind of thoughts and adhering to the standard principles of those who are supposedly in the loop. Christ came to set us free to think as individuals.
Too many Christians forget that Christ died for our sins so we would have the freedom to have direct contact with Him. A contact that opens us up to a new way of thinking.
The Holy Spirit was given to instruct people on the inside
about how they would need to believe in their own individual
life experience. This means that the laws handed down by
Moses becomes a guide on how to treat others. But they are
no longer the rules on how to follow God completely.
Jesus explained that we must love our neighbors as
ourselves. That love supersedes judgment. He warns that He
is the only Judge! He even makes an amazing statement!
John 10:39, "Jesus said, 'I came to this world to judge, so
that the blind should see and those who see should become
blind.'"
We are in a learning world and in order for us to achieve
God's education goals for our lives we must learn from what
we go through in our lives. In order to learn we must be
presented with differences. These differences take on many
forms.
Jesus came that we might have life in a lost world. A world
that is filled with evil and unable to see that it and its
people are wrong about life.
We are here to go down paths that show us why people who run
this world are so corrupt. That is the reason we must be in
charge of our belief system.
We must not let anyone tell us how to believe. We must rely
upon the voice inside us and not on people or even
theologians. Remember Jesus tells us that those who think
they see are BLIND!
Hebrews 10:16, "This is the covenant that I will make with
them in the days to come, says the Lord; I will put my laws
in their hearts and write them on their minds."
Christians are suppose to gain revelation from the people
who surround their lives not upon how others tell them how
you are suppose to believe. We are born into different
family experiences in order to learn from our families,
friends and our culture about loving unconditionally.
We are to gain knowledge not from following the crowd but by
allowing love to guide us in how we are to act towards each
other. Love is the principle that Christ was showing us when
He died for all people.
He did not die so we could cut off our family members when
they didn't follow the words directly as taught in the
Bible. He didn't die so we could hate the people who did us
wrong. He died so we would understand the concept of love
and how it helps us to overcome a corrupt society.
We are in a life game where our only hope of survival is to
rely on the voice inside our head. A voice that is telling
us how to let go of how the world thinks and to hold onto
how God wants us to think.
2 Timothy 4:3&4, "The time will come when people will not
listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires
and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who
will tell them what they are itching to hear. They will turn
away from listening to the truth and give their attention to
legends."
Don't be confused by ministers and teachers who teach us to
hate those who love. Listen to God's voice of truth and hold
onto love no matter how many credentials the so-called
theologians have before or after their names.
Many military heroes have died in combat in Iraq. Recently a
so-called minister of the faith proclaimed that each of
these people's death is the result of the sin of allowing
homosexuals into the armed forces.
From his teachings crowds of people have intruded upon
grieving families holding signs and chanting that their sons
and daughters are sinners. All of this is done in the name
of God.
When a minister, theologian, or teacher of any kind teaches
you to hate, do not ever believe that it is God. God is
Love! God is Good. And to say that he instigates hate is to
allow people to think for you and not God.
Many people do not understand why we are at war in Iraq.
They believe that the Muslim people's God is the same as the
Jewish/Christian God. But I will tell you they are not the
same.
All Muslims are taught from an early age that their religion
is the only right religion. They openly teach hatred of Jews
and Christians.
From their hatred of other forms of religion many are openly
invited to participate in sacrificing themselves as human
bombs in order to kill those who don't believe in their God.
This is totally opposite from how Jews and Christians are
taught to live.
Our Judeo-Christian Bible teaches us to love. We are taught
to do good to our enemies and to pray for those who
persecute us. We are taught the Golden Rule. "Love your
neighbor as you love yourself."
Look how opposite each of these faiths are! One teaches
hatred the other teaches love. To live in a teaching world
is to recognize the difference between God and Satan. To
play and win a life game we must control our own game!
When any teacher comes proclaiming a message from God that
tells us we are to hate and destroy our brothers this is not
Jesus Christ. These people love to hate and their hatred is
for the sole purpose of controlling people and getting them
to follow their teachings and not Jesus Christ's .
This is the very reason we must listen to the voice of truth
that is within us. We must react in love and not allow evil
people to gain control over us by telling us we must hate
those who do not love like we love.
1 Timothy 6:3-5, "Whoever teaches a different doctrine and
does not agree with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ
and with the teaching of our religion is swollen with pride
and knows nothing. He has unhealthy desire to argue and
quarrel about words, and this brings on jealousy, disputes,
insults, evil suspicions, and constant arguments from people
whose minds do not function and who no longer have the
truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich."
Many television ministers teach hatred against gays and
anyone that does not follow the words in the Bible according
to their interpretation. They use the Bible to persuade
people to live according to their teachings and not God's.
We must be in control of how we think. We must take our own
life experiences and allow them to shape and mold us into
loving people who are compassionate and caring towards all
people. Hatred is Satan and is opposite from the love of
Jesus Christ.
We must not judge! Judgment puts us in the place of God. We
are not God. We are the children of God. To judge is to
prevent the Holy Spirit from speaking to us on the inside.
Never allow others to tell you how to believe. Never allow
others to tell you to hate. If a television minister tells
you to hate people because of how they love, turn them off!
Judgment prevents people from learning the truth. When we
judge we no longer try to understand. When we judge we
prevent the Holy Spirit from teachings us God's truth of how
love helps us to overcome what we don't understand.
