The Path of Religion or the Path of Grace...Choose the One you will Follow.


When believers become spiritually mature enough to see beyond the religious system and our initial Salvation...into God's eternal purpose for the Community of the Redeemed, freedom will be better understood. In order to see what and who we are in Christ we have to see beyond religion, for that to happen we have to see religion for what it is...a man-made substitute to house and control the Body of Christ. Then and only then, will true freedom in Christ be realized.

Religion teaches that Christ is the Gate and that is 100% true. Though it mouths that Jesus is also The Way, it lives and breathes as if Religion  itself is The Way and have deceived multitudes into believing that deception to be truth. They would have people to enter the gate by Grace then instead of following Jesus...the path to holiness, they would have you follow Religion...as the path to holiness! Instead of living in the freedom that Christ brings, people live in the bondage of religion thinking that they are living in the freedom of Christ.

To move fully into the freedom of Christ we have to walk in the Path...Jesus Christ...and refuse to walk the path of Religion. Many people have accepted Jesus as their “personal Savior only to make Religion their Lord. Receiving Jesus as Savior without receiving Him as Lord is the deception of Religion that the vast majority of believers have accepted, and are living as if it is truth. This religious phenomenon veils the eternal purpose of God, not only for the Community of the Redeemed, it also blinds us to the eternal purpose of God for the Community of Humanity.

When people walk through the Gate of Salvation and then travel the Path of Religion to maintain that Salvation they put themselves in BONDAGE and place themselves behind the prison bars of the jail of the religious system. Their Salvation is authored by Jesus but they are trying to perfect if by following the Path of man-made Religion. People become so taken up in their eternal destination being heaven, they forfeit their destiny of the purpose of God for their living the realization of the Christ life in the “here and now.” They are satisfied to enter haven at the end of their living without really living in the Kingdom of God in their earthly living.

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there be many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to Life, and there are few who find it.” Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, the Gate offers people salvation...freedom from the judgement of sin.

Jesus Christ the Grace Path gives people power over the power of sin and the taskmaster of Religion.

Believers must move beyond Jesus as the Gate and follow Jesus along the Grace Path of FREEDOM from the bondage of Religion to Grace's  Freedom by following Jesus the Path.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec
