peace Those who have stepped away from Christianity after realizing the flaws and un-truth's being taught to us in the church have somehow become demonized. Simply because we chose to open our eyes and began thinking for ourselves and stop looking for an outside forces to help us, as JESUS did. Yet, are still looked down upon and dismissed as heathens for not believing. But, if one were to look at what they claim jesus did and taught is this not what he also is said to have done. THis was sparked by a conversation i had with some christians 'teaching' in the street over the weekend, but tried to demonize me because they couldn't answer my questions as they talked to the crowd. One lady even said i was going to hell and would never meet jesus. So i told her that i am jesus and that 'hell' was a mind state that she seemed to be quite comfortable with! (my son was with me so i couldn't let her get away with that one) So i started thinking about how FAR AWAY christians are today from what it is said that this one named Jesus taught... Is it not said that Jesus came to fulfill the laws of Moses? Is it not said that he came not for peace but to bring a sword? Meaning to cut thru the lies being taught, knowing that going against those lies could lead to war! Is it not said that he flipped over the tables of the money changers in the church? (Though he'd probably need an atm pin number and an axe today) Did he not say 'ye are all gods'? Yet, when christians today hear someone say they are 'god' they laugh at them. Was he not said to have sat with the sinners and the publicans? Yet, most christians cross the street when they see the homeless and turn their noses up at them. I mean the jehovah's witnesses don't even want to talk to them... Is not one of the commandments to remember the sabbath day and keep it holy? What are most christians doing on Saturdays? Ye shall have no other gods but me! Doesn't it say that thou shalt not worship false idols? Some of my questions to the christians that were 'teaching' the crowd got some of the crowd kinda rowdy when they started to try and disrespect me as i continued to throw more questions at them. When they refused and said i was going to hell (in front of my son mind you) half of the crowd disappeared and walked off seemingly upset at the christians for their behavior. So before my son and i walked off I had one last thing to say to them: "Christians would crucify Jesus for resisting Christianity"
Peace I find it funny that there was only one 'jesus', but today there are so many different sects of Christianity! This alone should tell those who claim to follow the religion of jesus that they have been led astray. They all shout out 'my jesus', 'my bible', 'my lord', when none of it is really there's. They have only been allowed to borrow it to keep them pre-occupied while the one who gave it to them continues to run around to and fro seeking whomelse he can deceive. God - 'have you tried my servant job?' Devil - 'if you take that hedge from around his head, i will make him curse his maker' The hedge (Africa) was removed from our heads when we were kidnapped and brought to this strange land, and forced to dwell amongst a strange people. (check the middle of the 13th page) And some of have cursed our maker (afrika) and even applauding death and destruction in the name of our deceiver... The really sad part is that most christians know that most of what they hear in church is not sound, or just an outright lie but will refuse to walk away because they know the type of character assassination goes on when one walks away from the church because they have played the part of assassin before.
Yes, Yeshua said that and did that. CLEARLY Jesus was speaking of how those who followed him would be persecuted by unbelievers, setting their own families against them who did not believe on/in Him, figuratively "bringing a sword" of severance/separation between believers and unbelievers. Here's some more verses instead of only that which you cherry-picked. Matt. 10: [33] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [36] And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. [37] He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. [38] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Another generalization about the church. NOTE the use of a lower-case "g." --This comes from the Hebrew word "Elohim" which also means "judge/judges." --In the Old Testament, this word is used to denote the "judges" or "magistrates" of the people. In Psalms, it is SPECIFICALLY speaking to the "JUDGES" of the people who "judge UNJUSTLY" but that GOD is the Judge of all the earth. And Yeshua REFERENCED the USAGE of the word "gods" in the Law to the Pharisees who questioned Him by telling them that those who were given the Law were called "gods(judges)" BY GOD but they persecuted Him for saying that God sent Him and was His Son. How can you speak on what "most Christians" do? How can you speak on what Jehovah's Witnesses do? These are just blanket generalizations about Christians born of your disdain for Christianity. Col. 2: [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: [17]Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
