Spiritual Terrorism.
“Some of you, God hates you. Some of you, God is sick of you. God is frustrated with you. God is wearied by you. God has suffered long enough with you. He doesn’t think you’re cute. He doesn’t think it’s funny. He doesn’t think your excuse is "meritorious". He doesn’t care if you compare yourself to someone worse than you, He hates them too. God hates, right now, personally, objectively hates some of you.” These are the words of the man pictured above.
Wow, is this man so close to God that He knows the mind and heart of God on the matter? I find it odd that Jesus the express image of God shows Him as loving, compassionate and kind to sinners, while preachers show Him as a hateful retributive terrorizing sadist.
To many religious people love to hate and are known...not for who and what they love...they are known for who and what they hate.
Research shows that religonists are known more for what they hate rather than what they love...what they stand against rather than what they stand for...what they reject rather what they accept. The "sinning sinner" sees religion as egotistical, elite, judgmental, condemning arrogant un-understanding and filled with disdain.
For example, the fear-mongering of an everlasting hell fire inferno of everlasting punishment that religion judges people fit for and condemns people to, is a doctrine that condemns the vast majority of people that God created in love to eternal suffering and damnation rendering Him inventor of the worst terrorism that has ever been perpetrated since the world began.
How do you feel as a believer when your religion causes you anguish, stress, and is immobilizing you spiritually, emotionally and physically do to fear-mongering spiritual terrorism and the vilest act that can ever be perpetrated against humanity to our loving Father God?
The true gospel is a gospel of great comfort for it brings good tidings of great joy and the good news of the greatest comfort...not the bad news that the religious gospel brings with its unending suffering.
The Grace Gospel establishes peace with God, peace of mind, healing for damaged emotions, and joy of living in the here-and-now without the fear of eternal punishment in the here-after..
Spiritual Terrorism can feel like the fires of hell are tormenting your mind and searing your soul even in the here-and-now...a painful living death while you are alive...let alone what is awaiting you in hell's torture chamber!
If nothing else, the goodness of our loving Father God should prompt you to question the fear-based religious gospel with the unanswered questions that you have regarding such terrorism being attributed to our loving Father God.
Isn't it time we saw God through the eye of Jesus...His express image... and forsake the terrorizing hate-based religion and embrace grace's love-based gospel, and attain the healthy spirituality view of our loving God that Jesus expresses Him as?
You are right when you say: The Grace Gospel establishes peace with God, peace of mind, healing for damaged emotions, and joy of living in the here-and-now without the fear of eternal punishment in the here-after..
ReplyDeleteBut that's only part of message.
Paul gave many warnings about those who rejects the grace message.
Hebrews 6:4-6King James Version (KJV)
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 2:3King James Version (KJV)
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Hebrews 12:14-17King James Version (KJV)
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
We have the story of Noah. Gen 6:8 says that Noah found grace in eyes of Lord. As a result Noah and his family was saved. Every one else didn't find grace in eyes of Lord. As a result they were destroyed. We have a promise from God that a flood will not destroy mankind any more but the next destruction is by fire.
