Christ Has Set "WE" Free From Religious Phobias...So Why Aren't "WE" FREE?

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Galatians 5:1-4

As followers of Christ, we have been set free. From what are we to be free? I personally think it is  anything we use to try and earn our right standing with God, including RELIGION!

It is by grace we are accepted, and when we try to do anything…keep the law or do good works, we are putting trust in our Doings and not the Dones of Christ.

It we do not trust in the grace of God, the only thing we have left is to keep the do's and don'ts of the Law, and we have to keep the whole Law. Obviously, we cannot do that, because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

So why is this verse saying we have fallen from grace? What have we done to fall from grace? It is by trying to keep the Law, trying to live by the Old Covenant, keeping religious rules and rituals, in doing so we reject the grace that God provided through Jesus.

In the religious system the mixing of the Old and New Covenant is taught as the Gospel. We are told we are saved by grace, but we mature in our relationship and live pleasing to God by keeping the religious rules and living up to the Law. This just should not be. The above verse tells us that this is the way we fall from grace.

We are free from the Law, we are free from the wrath of God against sin...Christ dealt with the sin issue once-and-for-all. Now sin will still have its consequences...but God punishing us is not one of them. 

Jesus has already done all the work that needs to be done. We can now rest in the grace He provided. Good works will be evident because of His working in us and through us, not due to an obligation to measure up and earn His love and forgiveness.

Christ has set us free from religious phobias such as;

God is out to get me phobia,

Cursed by God phobia.

The Devil is after me phobia,

Grace gone-wild phobia,

Love run-a-muck phobia,

Missing Sunday-go-meeting phobia.

Denominational phobia.

The torture chamber of Hell phobia,

Eternal damnation phobia,

Gloom,  Doom and Despair phobia,

Death and dying phobia,

Rapture ready phobia,

Hierarchy phobia,

Denominational phobia,

Truth phobia,

Keeping the Law phobia,

Sin and sinning phobia,

Truth phobia,

Tribulation phobia,

Final judgement phobia.

Israel as God's end time clock phobia

Homo phobia,

Trudeau phobia

Obama phobia,

ISIS phobia,

Iran phobia,

Russia phobia,

Blood Moon phobia,

The cure for religious phobia is to renew your mind to conform to the truth about God rather than continue believing the lies religion has taught you about God. That will take a lot of religious deprogramming of the mind from the deceptions of religion's God...and reprogramming your mind with the Jesus truth about God.

As your belief about God is changed from the religious lies to the truth of Christ (the express image of God) who came to reveal the truth of His loving Father,  you phobias will disappear.

The fear-mongering teachings of religion is the root  cause of religious phobias and it is only God's truth about Himself through the lens of Jesus that will rid people of religious phobias.

Isn't it time you refuted the religious God for the TRUE GOD our loving Father is?

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
