Why is agnostic atheism more 'honest' than modern christianity of sinners?A Chapter by stranger-n-life
The God of love ,
by defnition, cannot be follwed by those who remain sinners
Sin is simply not loving ! Calling sin 'chsritian' does not make it loving ... the emperor has no clothes , no fine white linen, and a billion people cannot see that he is naked ... God 'proved' Himself to me without a Bible and the bible says that He will eventually prove Himself as love to everyone, so this is not the problem here ... The problem is 'christianity' and all creedal religion that has the [blasphemous] presumption that it knows God without even understanding the scripture uniquely [as it claims to have no valid private interpretation] The irony of the bible in relation to christianity is that Jesus prophesies the falling away of religion , states explicitly that he only came to get to the House of Israel [whom christians mostly do not know what this is because it is 'not a people' any longer , just a nation of dispersed Israelites who were and still are rejected by most Jews , who worship idols ,and who never ever accepted Judaism or modern christianity of sinners... the final crunch for the sinner priests of christianity comes when Jesus does exactly what he says he will do and rejects [albeit not for all time] all who are still sinners by his return... just as Israel were rejected but now are accepted by God under a new covenant with them [but it is not with anyone else , why would people presume a contract is with them if it says it is with someone else ??? ] Any way, for me God is seen in love , and since my own love is flawed I do not see God that clearly yet , but i know that even in deepest depression and through attempted suicide , when everything in life seemed worthless and empty , as Solomon stated ... even there the desire to love and be loved never left me, I found that it is 'what I am' , all that is left when all the 'persona' is stripped away and one is naked beyond even 'self' ... One can deny the desire to love, much as the brain seems capable of denying almost anything , even what is written in black and white before one's eyes, but one cannot silence the desire to love completely, it just keeps up it's gentle insistence that our normal ways in this world are unloving, that we are not doing what we 'are'... This then is how I came to know my god, the thing I respect and worship, it manifests to me as the desire to bebeyond what I manifest as a way of life and be perfectly loving, something i fail at doing repeatedly, but value more than life itself This I discovered much later in life is in fact the very God Jesus talks about, the God that I rejected as a teenager because of christianity, not realising that religion is not where God resides at all ... The difference between the saints and prophets of God and the sinner priests of modern religion is that the saints are given all truth by God [John 16:13 - sorry I cannot prove this , it's just a reference] that enables them to love because they can then defeat all wily temptations to be unloving in the world [sin] ... The irony then for me is that an atheist may be far more loving than many so-called 'christians' who remain sinners and vainly hope that Jesus will stop them receiving the consequences of their unloving ways ... the Bible does not say he will, it says he will reject them and they will get another opportunity later to learn that sin is unlovingness and unacceptable to the loving god of scripture... even if they invent a god of modern christianity that cares not about sin so long as people merely say they will believe in him, but in fact they don't believe in God because they do not stop being unloving, but continue as sinners , become hypocrites because they then turn around and condemn others for just the same unlovingness that they continue doing themselves ... It still amazes me that they think their sin is acceptable whereas others' sin is unacceptable and worthy of 'eternal torment' or 'eternal separation from god' or some such unloving supposed end [created by poor translation?]with no mercy from the god they will then say has mercy forever ... religion then has become a disease of mind , it is denial run amock because we cannot live with the fact that we are sinners and cannot free ourselves from it ... we want out of sin and into love, but we find it impossible to give up our unloving ways completely because they are by now institutional in our very societies :- a very entertaining animation indeed, making the very serious point about the evil distortion of values at the very root of our civilisation that must soon bear its inevitable consequence severely damaging us all because it fails so suddenly and most people do not even know it is there :- http://tinyurl.com/2uoexg Again then, the God of scripture actually does not expect men to believe Him now , quite the opposite, Jesus prophesies that men will believe Satan , almost all the world will follow sin AGAINST their hearts of love... the God of scripture is then not the god of modern christianity , and few realise this despite the witness in the book of Jesus himself.... that makes the Bible unique, it states that those who presume they are following it, Jews, Christians, even some Muslims to some extent, do not do so, but only those who love consistently, who cease to sin before death and are trialled in that faith, do actually follow Jesus and the God of scripture... The ironies run even deeper ... God promises that all men will know all truth FROM HIM ... that all His priests will be saints... so where does that leave sinners who dress up as priests and teach other sinners in this world? They will all be taught one day by god, but oh the pain of realising what they did to themselves and others in this life [fr many of them are already dead of course, never having yet received all truth as promised by Jesus to all that really follow him] Thus , as many of my atheist friends know, not believing in the 'god of christianity' is a blessing ... but in throwing out the false god, one can very easily miss out on the scripture which talks about the true God of love...the one in our hearts which we find so hard to obey , the desire to love that goes unanswered so often because of the world... yet Jesus showed that love can be done in the world perfectly, it just takes waiting for the faith in it to COME FROM GOD... faith in love is given by God... faith in what sinners preach is a leap of faith into hypocrisy ... it is no wonder then that men are confused by religion that is not about the God of love, and by our own denial of what we most desire because of the true God of love witnessed in us all... we might say we are made that way, and scripture even explains why we have to do without knowing God, knowing all his truth, most of us for our whole lives in this earth.... but that is another story which I attempt to address elsewhere, ... Is it then reasonable for God to ask men to wait a whole lifetime to be able to acknowledge the truth within us that we desire to be love and to be loved ... it matters not whether we think it is reasonable or not, but God does proffer the explanation i scripture for those who can see through religion enough to find it there ... it seems clear few will look even, because those of modern religion believe they know the scripture [although it is easy to prove that almost all do not] and those who see through apostate christianity do not then turn to reading scripture, religion then is an awesome mask over people seeing what scripture really says ... clearly one cannot take that from my words, one has to prove it by reading the scripture like a little child, without presuming one knows what it says beforehand because some sinner told you what was there ... yet if someone did not say would one ever even look and see the mistakes so many have made in dividing religion that is supposed to be , but obviously isn't, about the ONE God ?
