Religion's Crime Against God

When I first came to this blog, it gave me some things to ponder.

Now after months, I realize that this is a very negative blog.

You seem to be the type of person that sits there and complains about something, stirring it up, acting like you know everything, you're right and everyone elese is wrong.

Jesus put everything so "simple", yet people like you and others can take something He said and make it into a book. Making it so complicated.

Second, not everyone will understand unless they want to. Seek and you shall find, ask and it will be given. As simple as it is, most people will not understand, ask, seek, or care.

As for the ones that Love The Lord, and are trying to know and follow Him, it takes time...lots of time.

Do you really expect everyone to be at the level you're at? Maybe everyone is not as smart as you, and maybe that's why Jesus kept His message simple!

And as far as politics go, stop mixing it in with your blog or others will begin to wonder what your agenda really is.

Now we all have choices, God made it that way. You can chose to delete this comment, or keep it. What you decide shows me who you really are.

Seems to me that you don't have much faith in God, because you don't think that He knows a persons heart.

Instead of knocking down, why don't you try building up?

Panderia,

Thanks much for your detailed comments. I wish I would get more comments like yours; that would certainly keep me on my toes. I am extremely aware I have much more to learn concerning living a Godly life. I do at times express that need. I will address each of your comments individually.

1) Most people who go to church believe they are Christians. Only one problem: when those people disobey what is commanded mostly in the New Testament, without their knowledge, they are rejected as applicants of eternal life. There are dozens upon dozens of commands that are not adhered to by a majority of church goers, because churches don’t preach on them. Go to post # 144 or #127, they are very similar. They will tell only a few of the commands that are not obeyed by many church going christians. Then go to John 14:21. This verse is only a one of a slew of verses that tells the same principle. "Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me."

2) With love as one’s guide, if you see someone in a dangerous position, is it necessary to tell that person of the danger? If one was indifferent or was not aware of the danger, nothing would be said or done. But one who is aware of the danger as clearly described in God’s instruction book, and because of love for that person, does all in his/her power to tell of the impending danger, is that being negative? Concern for the misinformed is Godly love in its highest degree.

I am continually searching in my own life for attitudes, etc. that hinder my relationship with Jesus Christ. I do the exact same thing for people I don’t personally know, and then make it known. Is that negative?

3) I never attempt to put across that I know everything. Nevertheless, since I have been studying the condition of organized religion and God’s requirements for holiness, for many, many years, I can easily prescribe the needed remedies. I don’t have a high school education, both my parents were illiterate and could not speak English. All my ancestors were peasants.

With that said, I have at least two unique qualities; where they came from, I don’t know. The first is, I detest seeing or even knowing when someone is being deceive or ripped-off. The second: I have a tender compassing/empathy for those who are hurting, for no fault of their own. I may have been born with these qualities, or God blessed me with them at a very early age. No doubt, these qualities influence how I worship my Boss Jesus Christ and attempt to tell in baby language, a few of His, not very pleasant, imperative teachings.

4) I will agree with you about the gospel being simple. I hope I don’t complicate it. That simplicity is expressed in one verse: Love the Lord you God with ALL one’s heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. Then Jesus adds one stipulation/condition in Luke 10:28. "Do this and you will live." If we were to obey the aforementioned, the rest could be negated. That is true simplicity, an instruction book with just one sentence. Most of us don’t attempt to obey those next to impossible commands, because they are contrary to our innate, survival of the fittest desires, therefore, the remainder of Scripture is necessary, which can complicate a few Christian principles, especially to those who are not experiencing, if ever in a small degree, the life of Jesus Christ.

6) Again, I will agree with you. It does take time to know all the ins and outs of the great deceiver, Satan the devil, and all the great and precious promises of our Lord. I truly believe this blog deserves an A+ in exposing the tricks of that false angel of light (the devil) who most of all desires to be worshiped by naive "christians", even if they mistakenly call him Jesus Christ. Matthew 4:9.

7) Please, I beg you, don’t say I am smart, most likely my "IQ" is so low that I couldn’t qualify to enter grade school. In fact, it is much more difficult for intelligent people to believe the gospel, than for lowly people. That theme rings throughout the New Testament. My most earnest prayer is that bloggers that read this message excel ten-fold, of what I now know and am experiencing. If they don’t, it is not God’s fault or this blog’s fault.

8) Concerning politics: the main, if not the only, reason I am interested in politics at this time is because George Bush claims to be a born-again evangelical Christian. That is the biggest lie and the greatest crime against Jesus Christ that has ever been perpetrated since the beginning of creation. And every chance I get, I will expose him for what he really is. How many Evangelicals has he led astray?

9) Concerning the amount of faith I have, you may be correct. And yes, God does know a persons heart; the only thing is, what is in a person’s heart will without exception spill-over into a person's life. God does not judge us by our heart but by our belief in Him and by our actions. John 15:8. "This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, SHOWING YOURSELVES TO BE MY DISCIPLES." [emphasis added]. In other words, all we do once we are saved,are not as works to gain Salvation, but is undeniable evidence of our faith and obedience to Christ.

10) And lastly, one cannot build a new house in the same location (person) until the old one is partially or completely removed to make room for the new person. The knocking down is necessary before the new building-up can be started. Hopefully the removal of the old misinformed self will not be tumultuous.
