Christianity is so misunderstood

Thread: Jesus Christ is how much God loves you and how far He has gone to show you.

The problem is that so many of you think only you have that relationship with God, which is simply untrue. Somewhere it went wrong, perhaps in something like Nicea, for political expediency.

All religion is full of bias, hate and ego with Salvation as the hook and bait.

How do you know? Have you read the bible?

Who do YOU say that Jesus Christ is?


Who do YOU say that Jesus Christ is?

They shoulda done wrote it better then eh? If "God" cared so much then he should come down, explained it very clearly and set us straight dontya think?

Christianity is not just misunderstood; it's intentionally misrepresented.

It should come as no surprise, though. They called Jesus 'Beelzebub' during his earthly ministry. When has darkness ever comprehended light?

God is fire, books get lit if he is near.

ya gotz that right!

Ah, the extortion test. It doesn't really seem to be about who Christ actually is now does it?

Again, who do YOU say that Jesus Christ is?

Some people have realized that the Gospel tells a story of world-conquest.

The confusion arises because the story is told in both allegory and metaphor, as well as simile (the third part of the 'Trinity' tale, God's spell, word, story).

Jesus says "It is done" when he is crucified, showing that the human understanding of the canonical writers is flawed, since they can only comprehend what has happened by God (Jesus) becoming responsible for everything and everyone in the world, having conquering it ("For I have defeated the world").

His 'death' is to the human condition, which is fallen, and flawed. He is now perfectly God and perfectly Man in the Holy Spirit (the continuity of time, beginning-and-end, Alpha-Omega).

Other people are only beginning the realize the enormity of it.

Some see it and reject it.

There is a narrow gate.

Few will enter.

False.

The Gospel calls people out of this world to die to themselves and into The Faith.

My kingdom is not of this world.

He can be anyone

It was his conquest of the world, his transcendence, that brought about a Kingdom ABOVE IT. Hence, it is not of this world, truly. But the world below it is subject to his will.

Yes. Especially the god concept in it.

What’s to misunderstand. You think a human man is God. End of story.

Your response proves the OP's point! -if you bothered to read it.

Just to add my 5 cents:

True Christians don't care about Heaven or Hell; they are simply "in love" with God, and all that matters to them is their relationship, not their future destination. Within their person limitations, everything they do is toward this one heartfelt goal.

Amen!

I truly understand why you would see that. A lot went south through history. The beauty of Christianity, however, is that you do not need Nicea, or the Bible. Abraham had absolutely nothing. Nothing! Yet he had a great mysterious relationship with God and put his trust in someone he could not see.

This reaction is normal if a relationship with God is absent. Just like math. If you take a vital part out of a formula, you have an error, a missing piece. If God is in your formula, you have the missing part of the formula that redefines how you see everything, including the hate, bias, and such.

God can be easily understood when surrendered to.

The creation can not be the creator. God (Love) came down to become his creation, yet still God, yet fully creation. That is love. That..is...love...

If there would be any world conquest by God, it would be nothing but love. His kind of love. I wouldn't mind the world being taken over by that, would you?

It is because of statements like this that Christianity became misunderstood.

GOD is the creator AND creation.....we are this.....the image created of US. Truth only harms the religious dogma.

Confusion is the mystery.....why because men remain afraid of the TRUTH OF GODS WORD.

It explains itself.

God the creator is fully creation......MAN is that IMAGE.

It is anti-Christ to say that Christ is not come in FLESH.

Not only the flesh of Jesus.....because he and his are the head.....and she the bride is his body.

WE are THE CHRIST hidden in plain sight in the flesh that men deny.

The time is NOW for the awakening from the 'deep sleep' of confusion....to set WE/US the BRIDE free...

free from false religious dogma that sets up the man-kind for failure.....

Christianity is Witnessed rather plainly here:
In Matt 22:1-14, Jesus Tells us What It's All About...

1. And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,


3. And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6. And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.


8. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.


11. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12. And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


14. For many are called, but few are chosen.



It's ALL There, if you have the heart to See/Hear The Gospel...


These are The Final Moments...
Do you understand that The Strait Gate has long ago Closed?


Those who can't "understand" that Father Wants Relationship With Them, well.... They are Failed Vessels.

Everything Of-Christ IS About HIS Father...

Notice that The King's Son is not mentioned in the parable?
Everything of Christianity IS About Coming Unto The Father.

Have to have your Born-Again Heart To Abide With HIM. If we were Given (By The Father) To KNOW WHO Christ Jesus IS, then we were Invited=Called To The Wedding Feast...

Your Ezekiel 36:26-27 "New Heart Of Flesh" IS your Wedding Garment. "Friend" was a wedding-crasher. Desperately wanted to Be There; but... Friend is Rejected!

Do you Love God enough to Trust HIM Fully with every aspect of your life, all you are and all you ever will be?

Then, Tell HIM...
Come Unto The Father and Give HIM your all...


YOU are ALL That Matters...
IF Father Has Called YOU, then Answering HIM IS The Only Purpose for your life!

Of course, you have Free-Will; and that's why you have to surrender self and self-will Unto Father-God to Become HIS...

Jesus Witnesses in Matt 13:11-15 that those who seek Knowledge Of God with their intellect are NOT those HE IS Seeking...


Christians "misunderstand" because they aren't willing to Trust God.

Others "misunderstand" because they weren't Called.

If you are concerned about why God allows what HE Allows, then you are one who likely will not responde to HIS Call... Coming Unto HIM means you KNOW that HE IS Perfect! That HE IS God Almighty, and HIS Will For You is better than anything you might dream for yourself...

Until you are an Ezekiel 36 Born-Again, there's no KNOWING HIM or HIS Will For You...j

This is either on your heart, and you recognize that my witness is True; or you'll likely just never Come Unto The Father...

From Matthew ch 13...

10. And the disciples came, and said unto him,
Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.



Got to "prove it in The Word"?
If Born-Again, you would KNOW The Voice of The Father and God The Holy Spirit. Think you can't Trust God? More like you are UNWILLING... There's that carnal-heart exercising your free-will....

"Marvel not that I Say unto you, Ye MUST Be Born-Again!" John 3:7..... THIS IS The ONLY Scripture where Jesus uses MUST as a Directive...

But you're not!
You got no witness of Ezekiel 36:26-27
26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

You Never Came Unto The Father....



The Strait Gate closed in 2004...
Almost 15yrs Father Has Continued To Call, To Invite You To The Wedding Feast...

Figure you're gonna just crash the event? Figure that God Knows You Meant To Answer? You Just NEVER Did!


Worth trying to understand this in These Final Moments...
Worth contemplating the Action You'd Have Take to Come Unto The Father....

Faith w/o works (action) IS Dead!
Your heart, which HE Called, never manifested itself Unto HIM Though The Love You Claim To Have....


Got to Surrender to Become a Partaker In Father's Victory!
Got to Die Unto This World, to LIVE In HIM and Through HIM IN This Life and that to come...


Sad thing is IT's YOU Who Misunderstands...
If you Loved God As Much As You Claim, You Would KNOW HIM and Have Been Enabled to DO HIS Will...

But whatever conjecture you are comfortable with...
A Failed-Vessel needs some comfort, especially if they are clueless.

The Bible is the history of God's interaction with mankind over +4000 years.

How is it that there are hundreds of historical people and archeological finds of places that match what the Bible says?

At the same time it also includes all the knowledge needed for Salvation.
