| ORGANIZED RELIGION KILLED JESUS Yes this is one of the great trues of the Bible that most of us have not seen. For if we knew that it was the organized church and priest system that plotted on how to destroy Jesus we would not be so fast to join organized religion. The religion groups in Jesus time were the same as organized religion today. Meaning organized religion following certain creeds and laws are working against the true God. And what is so sad about it is that organized religious people will follow a man instead of Gods word. Organized religious people have no idea of the great trues Jesus gave there were two commandments that needed to be followed to enter the kingdom of God. The two are Mk. (22:30, and 22:31). Here, Jesus clearly states that if we loved God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and with all our strength: and love our neighbour as we love ourselves, we have fulfilled the greatest commandment. If organized religion is the way to get to God then why in the world did Jesus not say it? Why would the son of God come to earth to guide us, then leave us in the dark about the greatest commandments? Jesus gave mankind all the information needed to keep him out of organized religious groups that are not filled with Gods love. It is not Gods fault that so many people are running to religion. It is the fault of unorganized Christians. While Christian politely wait for the decline in churches springing up on every corner, religious organized churches are becoming more visible. Masses of people are following worldwide ministries, and so-called signs and wonders. They are joining large organizations, in the name of Jesus, because they are being emotionally fulfilled with an imitated Holy Spirit. The true Holy Spirit is within every person on earth, because God wanted to ensure every person of their personal right to enter the Kingdom of God. To clarify what I am saying; no priest or deacon or Pope or preacher can get more out of God than I can. Nobody can be as effective in their prayer to God, for me, than I can! If God gave every person on earth His image then every person has an equal relationship with God who created all men the same. But, if every man were taught this truth organized religious would be in trouble: No one would need a priest, preacher, or pastor. Just think of how nice it would be if everyone knew they had am personnel connection directly to God. Well God wants a man to have that kind of relation with Him. That was why he sent his only begotten son: to destroy the work of anything that is against Love. I want to make it clear that not all organized groups are bad. Groups that are filled with the love of God are the only groups that can make a contribution to mankind. People who are following someone anointed will be strong followers of Christ, but those that are following someone appointed will be sadly led astray, but please accept your fault. Anyone following law is not willing to see the truth. Religious people keep following their friends and not their heart. And because the Spirit speaks to the heart, mankind cannot hear Him, if they are filled with mans indoctrination of Gods word. Jesus walked the earth for one purpose and that was to show men how to get back to the Father, or how to enter the Kingdom (they are the same), according to JESUS. Jesus never once abused anyone, He taught us to pray for those who attempt to harm us, and forgive always. Jesus taught everyone was equal and only those who came as children could enter the kingdom. Jesus primary goal of coming to earth has been confused with His death on the cross. Jesus (never said) He came to earth to die on the cross for us. Jesus massage was always the same: I came to show mankind the love of the Father, and the way back into the kingdom. Jesus encouraged humanity to trust in the Father. Jesus came to show mankind the way back to God. His death on the cross did not save us; His message of Love brought salvation. About now you should wonder why would anyone want to kill someone with so much love? The answer is simply that Jesus made the ways of the lawgivers look weak and wicked. The church was so powerful that common people who could not afford food had to pay taxes. The church rulers had no mercy for the people. They read the law of Moses, and tried to enforce it upon the people, but there was no brotherly love. When Jesus called the lawgivers out for what they were, He hurt their pride, and uncovered their evil hearts. Jesus understood the trues He gave would set the people free, and destroy the priesthood. He also understood it would cost His physical life. Jesus was on a mission, and He accomplished it, in His short lived life. Thank God, Jesus didnt care about popularity, from those working against His Father. Jesus was different from most people, He didnt put on Sundays Best, just to impress others. Most times Jesus was smelly; daily bathing was foreign in His time. He didnt try to keep up with the Jones, or own a big flashy camel, Jesus didnt wear diamonds, and gold, to decorate His body. Lastly, Jesus never own a house, or a permanent residence. The Bible says; Jesus looked like a common person. But, it was the drawing power of the Father that set Him apart. When people heard Jesus speak they were forced to decide within, those who chose to follow, saw the Love of God, and having being touched with that Love, gave love. And those who chose not to hear, turned away in their hearts and lived a life of darkness. This is not Gods fault. Today many religious groups are killing Jesus, according to their belief and practices. Religious groups are deceived into being good enough for acceptance into the kingdom, according to how holy they live. Well somebody needs to inform religious people they are in direct conflict with the Word. We are not saved according to our practices, but according to the Bible we are saved by faith, and the same faith is what cause us to have Godly action. From without religious people look holier-than-thou, but within most of them have no true relation with God; the lack of a personal relation with God was prevalent in Jesus time. Those religious people wore holy robes to their feet, covered their heads, burned incense, and wash themselves continuously , but they forgot the true meaning of priesthood. But, Jesus saw through their robes and look directly at their hearts. When the priest knew Jesus knew them, they plotted on how to kill Him. Many of us say we would have stood up for Jesus, yet we see churches that have no Godly power drawing the masses. Is this not allowing Jesus to be crucified continuously? From the very beginning only a few people saw the truth, the masses wanted someone to intercede to God for them. Their need to have someone pray for them, caused problems. Instead of praying for themselves, they did the same as the Israelites, soon after their deliverance, they begged Moses to pray to God for them, because they did not want to speak to God for themselves. Why not? Cause they felt that their sins were too much. Well this is exactly what is happening today. We have hired preachers and pastors that are not filled with the Holy Spirit, to intercede to God for us. We have not learned how to pray for ourselves and believe God loves us the same as He loves Jesus, the same as He loves Moses, Abraham, David, and all mankind. God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to free us from religious bondage, but somehow many have returned to captivity. Two thousand years after Jesus walked the earth man is afraid he will go to hell if he doesnt attend a church. It is the same game the priest of old played. And God in His great mercy will not make us love Him or get out of religious traps, but He has given us His Holy Spirit to guide us out if we want to be guided. The choice is up to each person. Will you follow God or will you follow a man? |
