Religious Geniuses Overlook.

 
In one sense I agree with some of my religious friends, in that they are geniuses...Only I believe them to be religious geniuses, rather than spiritual geniuses, who overlook the obvious even when it is staring them in the face!

They overlook the teachings of Christ for the teachings of man.

They overlook Jesus the Living Word for man's teachings and interpretation of the written word, which is lifeless until impregnated with the Spirit of the Living Word.

They overlook the purity of the Grace Gospel of Jesus Christ by polluting  it with rule and ritual keeping.

They overlook the Body of Christ as the Church in favour of denominated name-tagged buildings as the Church.

They overlook Community of the Redeemed living life daily as being Church in favour of Sunday-go-programmed-event driven meetings as Church.

They overlook Christ as Head of His Church in favour of man as head of the Church.

They overlook the unity that Christ brings for the segregation that denominations bring.

They overlook the priesthood of all believers for the priesthood of the denominated trained seminarian.

I wonder how many brave hearted people out there would venture to answer a couple questions regarding their religious understanding, answers from the religionists are more than welcome.
 
What is religion's understanding of the resurrection?

What is the obvious implication of the resurrection that is overlooked by religion? 

Please provide your answer in the comment section. 

Thank you.

    Different religions believe different things about resurrection. I don`t have time now to document and provide quotes for all of these as I am about to go to work.

    However I do have a few moments to provide what true religion (James 1:27) states about resurrection.

    The resurrection of Jesus assures our future.

    The resurrection of Jesus is proof of future judgment. The Resurrection means, among other things, that God’s justice will ultimately prevail.

    The resurrection of Christ gives us power to live the Christian life.

    The resurrection of Christ proves to me that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of Living God. Just as the prophecies of resurrection was fulfilled in exact detail the prophecies concerning the future judgment and wrath of God will be fulfilled in exact detail as given in His Word.

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

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

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
