The True Word.
The “Word of Truth” that is ever
unfolding is Jesus the living “Word.” Jesus... not the written
word recorded in a leather bound book called the Bible...is the “All
Truth” of God. Jesus is the Word made flesh dwelling in our hearts
by the Spirit...God's chosen “Teacher” for His Community of the
Redeemed.
The religious institutional church
argues that the Community of the Redeemed left to themselves to hear
and follow the voice of the Spirit is a dangerous theology because
people will stray into doctrinal error and deception. How arrogant of
them to say this when Jesus said that “His people know His voice
and the voice of a stranger will they not follow.” Religion has
deceived people into believing that the voice of Jesus speaks through
them and have dulled the ears of God's people from knowing the voice
of the Spirit for themselves. The acceptance of man-made doctrine and
theology that is accepted as biblical within man-made religion is
rampant...are they really fearful that if people were left to follow
the voice of the Spirit they would fall into deception...or...are
they fearful that the doctrines they so adamantly hold to will be
exposed as false and they would lose control over the Community of
the Redeemed and end their domination of His people.
Do you think for one moment that the
people heard and heeded the voice of Jesus when they formed the
thousands of denominations and religious sects, most of which are in
disagreement and opposition with each other, all claiming what they
believe and teach is “the truth”? Do you really believe that
Jesus would sanction something that would prevent the His prayer for
the unity of His Body from ever coming to fruition?
I find it ironic that religious people
will judge people by their external traits, yet cannot judge their
unscriptural and unspiritual teaching and doctrines as wrong. Not
only do they usurp the position of Jesus as the “living Word of
God”...they also do not know the written word of God that they
mistakenly call the living Word of God.
Which is more apt to lead people into
dangerous and divisive heretical theology...the religious system of
today...or...trusting Jesus to lead us into all truth by His Spirit
in our living life as the Community of the Redeemed?
The letter of the law and denominated
based unity leads to greater division and segregation of the Body of
Christ!
That does not mean that the Bible is
not valid...but...when we limit God to our human interpretation and
understanding of scripture we resist the Spirit from revealing its
truth regarding spiritual things. The Spirit must be allowed to
enlighten our understanding of scripture and that the scripture is
only of spiritual value as they lead us into the same relationship
the Jesus and His Father experienced. A relationship of LOVE and
UNITY.
