[quote:Anonymous Coward 163819:MV8zNzM2MDlfNjAxMDYwMF83QkIyMjNDRg==] [quote:CI 108985] EXCELLENT point, OP. Christ's message and teachings were so dangerous and offensive that the people wanted to kill Him and his disciples. What you have today are these JUDEO-Christians churches that have been emasculated, where they teach you to be a good little slave, pay your taxes, obey the government and don't get involved in politics. Just show up and play church. Have bingo nites and bake sales. The only branch of Christianity today whose teachings are "turning the world upside down" as in Christ's day is CHRISTIAN IDENTITY. If you want to lose all your friends and be ostracized in the community, become an Identity Christian and tell everyone. You may also find your liberty, property and LIFE under attack ..... [/quote] Christian Identity, or "Reconstructionism" -- "Dominion Theology" -- is a CROCK OF SHIT because Jesus plainly said He did not come to overthrow the status quo, and said that His kingdom "is not of this world." He indeed exposed and cast light on the corrupt world-system ... but He did not attempt at that time to overthrow it or replace. The Spirit is not here now to actively resist or overthrow the government, or change the world and institute a so-called "Christian" agenda in politics and on the world stage. Such is a false path and a total waste of time. There exists no over-riding institutional church organization whose role is to "change" this "present evil age." Dominion theology thus represents deluded legalists who are part of the problem ... not the solution. They give Christianity a bad name with all of their loud-mouth in-your-face social agenda. It actually makes me sick ... [/quote]
Original Message
Most Christians are ultra-conformists, disingenuous, play actors. "Play actors" was the term Christ used when he called the church-goers of his day "hypocrites." I guess there's nothing new under the sun.
Why can't Christians see how ironic it is? They claim to follow one of the greatest rebels of all time but they live lives of ultra-conformity. It's really quite amazing, what's going on here?
