It's not going away.
U-turn ahead! What we thought was going to hurt is really going to help. What we thought was a joke is really the truth. Turns out that the Truth was looking us right in the face and we didn't see it because there are so many distractions.
God is not a religion. He is not a temple. In fact, His church is people, not a building. God is a Spirit. He is the Spirit of Love that wants to make you happy, protect you and save you from going to hell.
We cannot save ourselves.
5 Stupid Ideas that Won't Get you into Paradise:
1. Rape a Western woman.
2. Marry an "infidel" and convert her to Islam.
3. Burn down a church or synogogue.
4. Fast.
5. Kill a Christian.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you believe that any of those 5 practices will land you in paradise, you are very, very, very, very stupid. Stop being stupid. That kind of stupidity is dangerous. The "god" who requires this kind of nonsense does NOT have the power to save your soul. Even Mohammed did not know whether he was saved or not, even though he said that Jesus (not Esau) is the Messiah.
The problem with religion is that most of the traditions are by word-of-mouth and nobody goes back to the source to read what the actual book says. So, if you do choose to believe in something, may I suggest you read the statement of faith first and find out what you believe?
That goes for us Christians as well. We call ourselves Christians but, do we understand the meaning of that word? A Christian is a follower of the teachings of Christ. May I be so bold as to say that we cannot follow the teachings of Christ unless we read what He said and know what He taught?
Not what the pastor taught. Not what the priest or pope says. Not what our mother or father told us. Not even the bestest, most dedicated Christian can tell us what to believe. Why not?
Because THEY will not stand before God for ME. I am going to stand before God and give an answer for myself. You will stand before God all by yourself. Nobody is going to hold your hand. And, if that sounds scary, then you don't know your God!
In my mind, that is the priority. What is going to happen to you and me when we die?
Times have changed and we are no longer living in Old Testament times. God does NOT want us to build temples like He instructed Solomon to build for Him. That was last year's agenda. Did you get the memo?
Some people didn't get the memo. There has been an update. There's a new covenant now which is JESUS and FAITH and NOTHING else. No temple, no rituals, no good deeds, no blood, no sacrifices, no works of the flesh are required for our salvation or to cover our sins! We are SAVED. Period. It is DONE. Only One Man, the Son of man could do it: Jesus Christ/Yeshua/Jesus Christo/the Lamb/the Son of God. The only begotten of the Father is the only One who had the power to save our souls from death, to save our darlings from the lion and to present us faultless before the throne of God.
Imagine that if you will! We who have Jesus will be presented FAULTLESS before the throne of God!
And we don't get that by being righteous. God gives us His righteousness. So, even if you did rape a Christian or burn down a church or kill someone, God wants to forgive you! He is dying to forgive you! He longs to forgive you! He's begging you to come to Him for forgiveness. And He is the only One with the power to forgive you.
Ephesians 2:8 & 9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
No other "god" gave his very life for your sins, my friend. Stop wasting your time on false gods. Because what is here and now is not what's really important. What's really important is the NEXT LIFE and what part you will play in the "here-after".
Where will you be? It will be too late to play catch-up then. In fact, it's already late. But, if we start now, we can get to know God intimately in the holy-of-holies of our hearts where the Spirit of God wants to live in us, see through our eyes, hear through our ears and be one with us in mind and spirit.
The Muslim worship is now becoming so strict that it is mandatory to worship and if a Muslim does not worship, he is in danger of losing his life. Apparently that "god" has to demand worship. He has to threaten to take the life of anyone who chooses not to believe in him.
Is it just me or does that sound a little crazy? Worship means a strong feeling of admiration and respect. How can anyone respect a god that forces people to worship him? Why would the devil want that kind of worship? I guess, because he can't "get it" any other way.
The world is getting a whole heck of a lot crazier super fast, beloved! The deceptions are getting more deceiving. If you believe the TRUTH, you are in the minority! But, we should FIGHT to be able to walk in the TRUTH and guard our souls from all the lies and propaganda around us.
If your mother or father or sister or brother or best friend are deceived, does that mean you should go along with them and not disturb their false conceptions? Should you just join in and bow down to that statue of the War God? You already know that statue can't save you. That statue won't even save your flesh, your body. Neither will the worship of any false god save your physical body from pain and death! You knew that, right?
By worshipping a false god and using a false name to pray to, you will not preserve your own life nor the lives of your loved ones and THAT is the TRUTH.
Only Jesus Christ can preserve your body AND your soul. Did you know that? He not only saves your soul, but He also protects your body! False gods can do NEITHER!
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Psalm 91:7 A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come nigh thee.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord which is my refuge, even the most High thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Matthew 10:28 And fear NOT them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
We "fear" God in that we respect His awesome power, but we are no longer afraid of Him or of death. Neither do we fear those so-called gods who threaten us because they can only kill us if our God allows it.
When God allows them to kill us, they will be releasing us into eternal bliss! Praise God!
