If You're A Fellow Christian, Please Read This
I am a Christian but I believe the church was created to control and suppress the people. Keeping them in bondage, preventing a more personal relationship with God....
If you believe the The Bible is too Holy to have been used to spiritually enslave us by the evil one, you NEED to read this ....
(( Before you respond to this with ANYTHING, PLEASE read the Jewish laws. All 613 of them!... ))
I pray that all peoples break the spell from 'Orthodox Christianity', and realize that The TRUE God is not the scary, unforgiving, being from the stories about God having 'his chosen people' take over a city and commit genocide on previous inhabitants. Killing EVERY mam, WOMAN AND CHILD. And many others. I'll mention some later....
Think about it. God created all peoples. Even though the people of that city were 'sinners', so were the Jews. If THAT God was all knowing, then why would he find forgiveness for the Jews over and over again, but then he denied another group of people the very right to EXIST? He loved them too right?
The argument is that only God can know right from wrong. ...
Even though that's ultimately true; but seriously. How come virtually all people that have a conscience at all; have very bad feelings about this being done? Especially to the women, children and babies!
Another argument is that we're all born sinners unworthy of living and should be thankful he sent Jesus to fix this problem. I AM thankful for Jesus. We are to follow him and to seek truth right? Learn from him as an example of what we should be like?
Jesus said to show love and forgiveness to EVERYONE. He healed EVERYONE that came to him. He also encountered us to use our God given gifts of logic and reason. Also that we should test ALL THINGS. When the Jewish priests accused him of working with Satan, he said that he would be judged by his good works. And that we should not be calling good evil and evil good... Can we seriously believe that killing the first born babies of all Egyptian families that had nothing to do with Pharaoh's decisions was a GOOD thing?
Other stories like the genocide, and even having the story of the priest that drove a sword through the vagina of a woman all the way through her body then put her on display as a warning to all Jews not to take non- Jewish women for wives. She was in bed with a Jew, that's all. This was an honorable thing for the Priest to do because they noticed that they had been 'diluting' their Jewish blood too much. Causing them to have children that never learned the language. Would a God that IS love encourage this?
......................................................................................
I made another observation today....
Jesus became angry SEVERAL times that we have read about in the Bible. ALL of those times involved the High Priests and 'rulers' of the Jews abusing their power and hurting the Jews. He said they were deceiving the people. Criticized how they enforced 'The Law'. Even in the temple where he overturned tables, it was the Priests that profited from what was going on. Tainting a sacred place of worship.
Consider this too...
. When you go back and read what the laws actually are, you'll notice that there is no option to forgive an adulteress.... She was to be killed to 'root out all evil'. No exceptions. Yes, Jesus came to liberate us from those laws. BUT.... If the laws were from our loving God The Father Himself to begin with, then why didn't he encourage them to stone the adulterous they had brought to him? NOT stoning her WAS breaking Jewish law! And he hadn't been sacrifice yet so the law was to be enforced still. And there's other stories about him breaking those laws.
If a person is to TRULY learn from Jesus, they should at least question the set of beliefs that they have been tricked into having. Don't worry, the truth you will find is WAY more beautiful than the 'partially true' stories from the Bible!!
If you haven't read the Jewish laws and yet you still believe without a doubt that the entire Bible was from God, that is not faith. That's a lazy, blind, fool. But it's not entirely your fault. You're a victim of the spell that has been cast by wolves in sheep's clothing.
Glory to God
