Religion's Crime Against God

Many of the principles described in this post, apparently are novel and challenging in comparison to what most of us have been taught by Christian religions. Did I just make them up, so as to manipulate you? For what reason? Do I want your money? An emphatic no! Do I want you as my disciple? A disciple of what; I am a nothing. Do I desire to start a church, and have you as a member? Absolutely not. That would be the last thing I would desire. Am I attempting to trick you into leaving your church. To trick , no, but only according to the New Testament if it is way-off base as to what they are teaching. There must be some reason why I am publishing this post. As I examine my motive/s, this is the only reason I can come up with at this time. I have an innate, uncontrollable, loathing for deceivers, especially those who attempt to pass themselves off as men/women of God. I can't explain why or where it came from–-don’t most of us have that trait, to one degree or another? You may ask,

“Aren’t we supposed to be tolerant of all people’s belief/faith”? Tolerate, yes, but not necessarily, acknowledge their belief as truth. Therefore, I am compelled to expose deceivers-–as I see them--with the truth as I read it in the Bible. The New Testament truth, many times is extremely fanatical, to the point where it violates ALL rules of common sense. Those verses that express themselves that way; what do I do with them? Do I attempt to explain them away? No! Ignore them? No. But explain why they have to be that way, and why we must, somehow, adhere to them. That doesn’t make for a popular or conducive message.

We (all of us) love to be told that we are loving, great, smart, wonderful and so on. Most of us will not accept being told, by this blog or others, that our lives are in error, going in the wrong direction, or any other negative reviews. I can truly understand that. I hate being told I am wrong, but only when it is true. I don’t mind be told I am wrong when I am in accordance with the Bible. Now you must decide whether I am a deranged but cleaver manipulator, some sort of religious nut, or a person who is attempting to spread the truth in a manner (rubbing us the wrong way) that has not been used before, to any great degree. If you believe I am in error, too fanatical or whatever other reason, send in your comments. I will respond to all that require a response.
