Is the prevailing belief system of the religious world authenticated by Jesus Christ and Bible?
While
the vast majority claim that "Christianity" is the religion of the masses...to which I concur...I contend that it is not
the way of the "Community of the Redeemed" that Christ came to
establish. Christianity has become a well oiled religious
institutionalized religion that is the greatest hindrance to the plan of
God for the Community of Humanity and the Grace Gospel of Jesus Christ
in this earth.
This christian religion exists as the way to find
God because of its heavy use in its misuse and abuse of the content and
contextual setting of the Scriptures that is claimed to be the
foundation of all segregated denominational groups. Although biblical
terminology is heavily used, it is not Biblical and it is a false belief
system based on what Paul calls "another gospel". This belief system is a counterfeit version of what Christ died and rose to create.
The god of religion...though claimed to be the God
of the Bible...is more concerned with devotion to and adhering to
religious tenants of faith, which is not faith or trust in the unseen,
all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful God and His promise to be
relationally connected to all of His children’s needs, but to its
special form of allegiance to religion and it's agenda. This allegiance
to religion puts the capability of man’s spiritual doing and provision
squarely into the hands of the man-appointed hierarchical
religious leaders.
Religion's use of the word “god” is really
irrelevant when used in worship because it has only a ceremonial value
geared to evoke a sentimental nod of approval by the pew-warmers. This
religious “god” word, along with many other biblical words, are
principally served to keep people's unenlightened hearts from knowing
the truth and experiencing the freedom Christ brings through His Grace. A semblance of
piety is the highest requirement of religion. Let all religious sermons
be seasoned with a hefty helping of denominational interpreted bible
verses and you are sure to be recognized and acknowledged as being of
God and godly. To use the word “God” and “religious rhetoric” in the
same sentence is recognized as a certain sign of enduring faith in the
religious denominational world.
I find it ironic that denominations are suspicious
of the rituals and practices of other denominations and dismiss them as not being
biblical because it does not line up with their own interpretation of
the scriptures. All religious denominations confess that religion has
some good value; but they care so little about God value the good value
they say religion has, has lost all spiritual value and content.
Many of God's people have embraced a false belief
system propagated by man, who find it necessary to establish a belief
system of men trusting in men, and using pious religiosity to fuel
religious machinery and keep the religious wheels turning to ensure its
survival by injecting its doctrines and beliefs, symbols, and rituals
with partial truth.
Religion has blinded us to the Truth. We have
accepted carte blanche the traditions passed down to us without ever
questioning the obvious contradictions of our doctrine to the simple
truth of the Gospel as given to us by Christ.
The people of God need to understand beyond question the
things they have been spoon fed for many years; what they will find is
something totally different; but, it will be the truth. An authentic
relationship with God depends on “truth” not flowery speeches or
eloquent sermons laced with a speck of truth, therefore seek the TRUTH.
God's people have been sold a bill-of-goods
concerning the truth of Scripture; it was began many hundreds of years
ago, endorsed and expanded by the so called church fathers, bought into
by the reformers, cast in stone by the founding fathers, and elevated to
the level of the Bible and then use their interpretation of the Bible
as the manual for 'Christian living'. The only problem is, it is a lie,
and not to be found in the book claimed to be religion's source, the
Bible.
The term “ignorance is bliss” prevalent in Jesus' earthly walk, is as true today as when Paul, directed by the Holy Spirit, wrote: “So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.” 2 Thess. 2:11. And, “Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.” Rom. 14:22.
