Religiously processed people are just as dangerous to God's Community of the Redeemed and the Community of Humanity...as...processed foods and processed drugs are to the health and well-being of humanity! Anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ but pursues...their own or denominated agendas...fame...money...position...manipulation and the control of people by being the spiritual channel from God to the people for their spiritual understanding...building themselves up at the expense of demeaning others...denominational division...man-made-doctrine at the expense of loving people...the bible as the Living Word at he expense of Christ, the Living Word...man-influenced interpretation of the bible as being right...religion more than relationship...I refer to as religiously processed people? They have an excessive interest in ones self, are characterized by extreme selfishness with a superior spiritual view of ones own abilities and a craving for recognition and admiration because o...

Many people within christendom today are ignorant of the gospel of Jesus Christ and ironically are afraid of it because the news of the gospel of Jesus is too good! The majority of us use the bible as a divine law book whose rules are to guard entrance into the kingdom rather than being God's witness that points to His restoration of all things and the redemption of mankind through His Son, Jesus our redeemer. Most of us believers think that God gave us the bible as a divine formula to show mankind the do's and don'ts to obey in order to gain and maintain a relationship with God by creating a new religion called "Christianity". Nothing could be further from the truth! Jesus' finished work on the cross and His Gospel of Grace is an affront to religion, in fact, if the gospel is rightly understood it spells the end of religion, the end of all systems that require works as a means of our becoming acceptable to God. In reality, the gospel tells us that God H...

  God is not an egotistical revengfull God who can be bought with money hungry grabbing people who claim to be God's spokesperson to the spiritual  degenerates. God is not a heartless God that provides blessings only to the highest bidder giver because of the pleadings of the preacher fibber. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM and HIM alone! So don’t be deceived by the money grabbing manipulators who promise God’s blessing if you give to their ministry cause!  The merchandising of the Gospel is scandalizing the Gospel, and is not a part of the Gospel of Love and Grace!

 In responding to one of my post that a person did not agree with, it was indicated that if I had the correct Bible, “The Authorized King James” I would have the truth, because in their fundamentalist understanding the KJV was inspired and without error and was superior to all other translations.  I came across these questions addressed to the “KJV Onlyest” who believe that the King James translation has been miraculously inspired and flawlessly preserved. The questions follow...I wonder if you as KJVers would care to shed some light on the questions by answering them. 1. Which revision of the KJV is inspired and/or preserved, since it was revised ten times, the last being in 1850?  2. What Bible did God have for the English-speaking world prior to 1611? Was it also a perfect translation? If God was under obligation to make the King James Version perfect, then why would He leave English-speaking people for 1600 years without a translation they could rely on? ...

Paul records, "that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them." (2 Cor. 5:19)  Notice It does not say, that God was in Christ reconciling Himself to the world, for He was never un-reconciled to the world; He says that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. By the phrase "the world" undoubtedly includes ALL for whom Christ died. Who did He died for? ALL the people of the world.   And what God WILLS, WILL come to pass. Here are a few, but no matter how many you are shown, you will not believe, only the Spirit of Truth can enlighten you...and your religious mindset prevents Him from penetrating the religious crust that encapsulates your spiritual understanding.  God's pleasure is in favor of the salvation of ALL men; and therefore, neither death, sin, nor pain, can be the ultimate object of God for man's ultimate destiny.  "As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of th...

  What if...Our understanding and interpretation of the bible is not what we THINK  it is.  That would mean that God Is not who we THINK He is. That would mean the Gospel is not what we THINK it is. Would that mean that we are not who we THINK we are?   God is Who He says He is...“LOVE”!  The Gospel is what Jesus says it is...“GRACE” The question is, Who the HELL do we think WE ARE to minimize God’s LOVE and GRACE by BUTTING it! God loves people...but! God is good...but! Jesus death reconciled the people of the world unto himself...but! BUTTING God’s LOVE and GRACE dilutes the GOSPEL!

Jesus said; “if I be lifted up...I will draw all men onto me”. So many believers subvert Jesus as the “Word of God” by lifting up the bible as the “Word of God” which contradicts the bible itself, which states; “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...also it states that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among men”....Who was that Word? Jesus and “only” Jesus! It does NOT state that the “In the beginning was the Bible, and the Bible was with God, and the Bible was God”...nor does it state that “The Bible became flesh and dwelt among men”. Yet, bible thumpers and people who claim the bible is the Word of God shout and wave the bible in the air shouting, “this is the “Word of God” when trying to enforce the authenticity of their interpretation of its content to collaborate what they believe, while trying to control, judge and condemn people. Why do they do this? Because Jesus, never was into controlling, judging or condemning people. If the...

  The world is focused much on Christmas during this time of year and the ‘church” world is concerned with keeping Christ in Christmas. The greatest way to ensure Christ is the focus at Christmas time is to keep Him paramount in our life all through the year by Him living His life in us through the year as He works His works through us. would not that ensure more of an allegiance to Christ then the erecting of superficial displays of figurines and promoting programmed concerts where Christ is still a baby and is used, or should I say misused by the profiteering abusers?  I wonder...how many believers out there honestly believe that it was Christ who designed the celebration of Christmas to allow the commercial world to rake in the profit from selling their wares, most of which is not needed by the people for whom the wares are bought. Is the heart of Christ made glad by all the festivities that are partaken in to celebrate His birth...while He is hardly acknowledged throug...

I am hopeful that we that when this Covid-19 crisis is over we will have learned that the world is a broken place. People weren't put on this earth to be, as a nation, superior by having the greatest military might, to be war-mongers, to have the greatest health care system, to politically or religiously fear-monger people, to marginalize people, to segregate people, to manipulate people, to control people, to hate people, to play the blame and shame game with people, to get all they can and can all they get, etc.. People (ALL PEOPLE) are equal in God's eyes as belonging to the human race, were put on this earth to be. To BE what? To be understanding. To be compassionate. To be kind. To be helpful. To be hospitable. To be thankful. To be fruitful. To be truthful. To be peaceful. To be joyful. To be godly. To be loving. And that, my friend, is what the world needs in order thrive as "one nation under God", in peace and harmony carring out the will of God for humanity!

  Some people who claim to be Christians believe that God makes people sick for their sinning and even kills people for their sinning. Yet they will go against that belief by praying for the sick, if that is unsuccessful, they will bring them to the doctor to get medicine to make them well again. Some claim to have enough influence over God to bring back the dead through their prayers. What gives such people the audacity to pray against something they believe God has set in motion? Do mere men believe they have such control and manipulation over God? Isn't that ironically ironic to the point of being religiously, ridiculously ridiculous? People’s understanding of the dualistic, opposite characteristics of God leads to the confusing image of God that many people in the secular and religious realm have swallowed hook, line and sinker. In the pre-cross era we are told that God is a killing and a evil creating God that commanded that small children be destroyed. In the post-c...

Church as we know it was man’s invention, incorporated by man, named by man, headed by man, its leaders are trained in seminaries by man, and then hired by man. Man creates campaigns to recruit people to join it, raises money to support it, and tracks attendance to it and the number of people that leave it. Man loves it, patronizes it and sanctions it. Man is employed by it and markets it. Man claims that God is in it and provides His gifts freely to us, yet man commercializes it and tries to sell the blessings of God for profit. Though man joins it, they also drive people from it, resign from it and leave it. The success or failure of the thing we call church, is determined by the numbers of people that do or do not attend; if the Sunday-go-meetings are good or bad; if the preacher is a good speaker of not, and if the amount of money collected is high or low. Ask the hired hireling known as pastor how his church is doing and you may hear the following responses: It is a great su...

Some characteristics I see between the True Church, in which Jesus is the all-in-all, and Religious Babylon (the harlot), where the carnal mind of Self exalts itself. The Church refers to the true body of Christ, the bride, the ekklesia; The harlot church, Babylon refers to the false church system of man-made doctrines, man-made-ideologies, man-made-traditions of the many varied religions.  How do we distinguish between the two? The Church is a people…the redeemed community of God; Babylon is a Thing…the institutionalized church and its systems. The Church is a living organism; Babylon is characterized by organizations, institutions, and religious systems. The church is a people who are identified with Jesus and His Gospel; Babylon is a people who are called by many different names that represent divisions within this Babylonian church system: Baptist, Catholic, Charismatic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and the myriad of others. The Churc...

  Religious people put a lot of stock in theologians that are denominationally and theologically trained in their particular religious belief by a denominational seminary, as the source of correct understanding and interpretation of the Bible. And one thing is for sure, there is no shortage of theologians. You’ve got your; Catholic theologians. Pentecostal theologians. Methodist theologians. Baptist theologians. Anglican theologians. United Pentecostal theologians, Salvation Army theologians. Non-denominational theologians. Armenian theologians. Calvinist theologians. End-Time theologians. Dispensational theologians. Universalist theologians. Church Of The Latter Day Saints theologians. Jehovah Witness theologians. Orthodox theologians. Episcopalian theologians. Lutheran theologians. Evangelical theologians. Fundamentalist theologians Seventh Day Adventists theologians. And the list goes on. All of these different theologians have a different view of...

The openness and freedom we are to enjoy as children of God by the provision that Christ secured by His finished work on the cross is unattainable by our sewing together fig leaves to cover our openness as we hide in the bushes of religiosity that shields us from having a honest, open and love relationship with God our Father and Jesus His Son. As Adam and Eve busied themselves sewing fig leaves together to make them feel they were now worthy to stand in God’s presence, thinking the God could not see through the fig leaves, we busy ourselves obeying and doing religious duties to be clothed in righteousness so we are worthy to stand in His presence. The freedom of being ourselves before God and people is masked by the doing of religious performances, using “Christian” vernacular, covering our humanity with religious spirituality thinking we are revealing a part of ourselves to others that we deem worthy of their acceptance. We go even so far as thinking our religious works and duty ...

That at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE will bow, of PEOPLE who are IN HEAVEN and ON EARTH and UNDER THE EARTH, and that EVERY TONGUE will CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the GLORY of God the Father. Philippians 2:10–11 Does God take glory in the death of the wicked?...NO! Does God take glory in that ALL people He lovingly created for His pleasure will be reconciled unto Himself?...YES! Pray tell me...why....do people who claim to know and love God want to take that pleasure and glory away from Him and demonized Him by saying that He will abandoned the vast majority of His loved creation to  suffer in the torture chamber of hell for eternity? Such blasphemy!  Seems to me that God has ALL people He created, lovingly insured with the assurance that He is the Father of ALL, Jesus is the Savior of ALL,  His GRACE covers ALL because He LOVES ALL. Such...AMAZING GRACE!

Some people believe God’s character is both good and bad and dependent on situational ethics will determine which mood He will exhibit...His good mood or His bad mood. Really now...are we serving such a fickle God that what we do or don’t do determines His mood as to how He treats us? If that is our understanding of God our understanding is a misunderstanding of our awesome, consistent, unchanging, lovable and loving God! God's reason for creating us humans was not so mankind would cower from Him in fear and understand Him as unreachable, unknowable, unlikeable, unappreciative, uncaring, a unloving egotistical deity who as a superiority complex so large and a revenge attitude so wild, that He watches for our wrong-doings so He can swat us with calamities and beat us into submission because we have failed to please Him. And according to some “loving Christians” (at least by their claim they are”) believe God is and I quote: “The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as o...
