Religion's Crime Against God

Could you imagine this kind of conversation between a father and his children: “I am going to teach you what is the right way to live, but I am not going to teach you everything I know because I don’t want you to be as good and powerful as me.” Could you imagine Jesus saying the above statement to His disciples (us)? Ridiculous. There are no limits to what goodness and power we can achieve while Christ is our paradigm. We may set goals as to our limits, but they are faults. Pure unadulterated belief in God has no limits. When the Bible says, “We are created in the image of God (Christ),” that means we have the capability to be like Him while in a physical body. Jesus indisputably proved that fact. He said, ”If you have seen me, you have seen the Father,” and lived accordingly. The Christian motto should be, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Christ.” Now that we have read these POWERFUL words, what are we going to do, and how are we going to live?

To reach its full potential, belief in God must not be in competition with any other beliefs that are of great value. In fact, if a person is not single minded in his or her belief in God, it will amount to nothing more than some form of self-centered religion. Belief in God will lose every time when belief in worldly things is of equal value.

God has so much goodness and love to give away but has not many takers; what a waste.

When we care for ourselves more than for God, we are in essence saying, “We are more important than God.”

For me to claim that I am a Christian, tells me, the Bible doesn’t means what it says.

There is no goodness within if it is not lived-out.

Belief, when not put into action is of no value.

Reality is in the eye of the believer.

It is hard to believe that God’s saints and the vilest of men/women are made up of the same physical material.

Godly love is meant to connect people.

Another name for the devil could be “The Distracter.”
