This is my sermon of the week.
Christianity is flawed by so called christians. "The word christian actually did not come from God but from pagans to discribe people who were acting like Jesus. Most people who call themselves Christian today, are no were near like Jesus. Jesus never called anybody to be a christian, he called them to be a friend and a brother/sister. It''s so sad what Christianity has turned into. Christians used to be thought of as nice kind caring people. Now, they are thought of as biggots, critics, hypocrits, and judgemental. Instead of walking in love, they spend most there time trying to prove they are right. They accept Jesus and think it's all finish. They never let God deal with tier heart and transform them into the loving person Jesus is. They become pious and look down apon everybody else. It has become just another ways people try to lift themselves up in thier pride, instead of the self sacrificing love that jesus showed. I'm so sorry for the poor representation of christ that you have seen. I hope one day you can see the true love of Jesus. I know he loves you just the way you are, inspite of what prideful church people have shone you. Jesus was all about huggs and kisses. Jesus said to the women who was caught in adultry, "Let him who has no sin cast the first stone. and everyone walk away." but today's christians are all about throwing stones. .... tears this is so sad. don't give up on God. God is Love. His people just forgot that.
God wanted to have fellowship with man, and through that fellowship he would teach them, like a father teaches his chidren. The tree in the garden of Eden was not for them to gain knowledge but was for something else.. He did not make robots to follow him unconditionally. He made people in his own image, like children, who had a choice to follow him or not. How can you prove love without a test? The tree was a test. Just like Jesus had tree that tested him, the cross. What greater love than that god would suffer and die for you. Jesus loves you. Don't be fooled by the means of his so called followers. We need to love like God.
1 Cor 13: 4- 7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Accept that Love and live that Love.
God is LOve.
Live Love, Die to everything else
