BANKRUPT CHRISTIANITY
It is a pity, if not tragic, that for 2000 years the
"Christians" refuse to grow, they refuse to mature, they prefer
to remain infants and talk about their Big Brother, Jesus, who
did everything for them!
Instead of getting on with the job Jesus asked his followers to
do, they endlessly argue about baptisms, Trinity, who is "saved"
and who is going to hell, throwing verses against each other
from the same Book they all believe to be the infallible Word of
God! Instead of picking up their own "cross", denying themselves
and following Jesus' example, they spend their time and energy
in fighting against each other. At the same time, by their
childish attitude and ridiculous doctrines and creeds, push many
a good people to atheism or to the arms of other religions,
while the world around them is suffering more and more by wars,
violence, hatred, exploitation, injustice and man-made disasters.
At last, Christians, wake up! Christ does not need any
advertising by you! All he wants you to do is to go about his
Father's, your Father's, our Father's business!
Do not deceive yourselves! No one has or can "save" you. You
must save yourselves and the world about you. You must become
peacemakers. You must hunger and thirst for justice and
righteousness! You must, we must, be embodiments of love; we
must demonstrate God's qualities in our lives. People with
common sense couldn't care less about your doctrines; in fact
they laugh when they hear you propagating your far-fetched
dogmas. Who cares about dogmas? People want to see your deeds,
our deeds!
In the darkness of our present hedonistic culture, people look
for a light to enable them to find their way "home". Are you
this light? Can you be this light? Do you want to be the Light?
It will cost you...
Jesus was a human being like you and I, and he left a precious
teaching and example for us to follow, in order to make this
world a better place for ourselves, our families, the society in
which we live and the world as a whole. The archons of his day
crucified him because they could not stand his "woes" against
them. It is as simple as this! Nothing mysterious about his
death; he was hated just as all the true prophets before him
were. His message wasn't popular because it hurt those he
addressed. As you know, the Truth always hurts!
Would you, self-proclaimed, self-righteous, "Christians", stand
up and speak the Truth to the leaders of your country? Would you
judge their warmongering policies? Would you, actually, be the
Light in your country, opposing, for a change, the forces of
darkness? In other words, would you permit yourselves to abandon
Christian infancy, get out of your comfortable kindergarten, and
do God's business?
God can only change the world through you and I. It is only
through us that He can manifest and thus affect things on this
planet. Stop waiting for that illusive "rapture"! It is never
going to happen! It is a utopia, a myth written for infants! No
Messiah will ever come to sort out the mess we have created in
our planet! We have to do it ourselves.
Would you, please, do yourselves a favour? Just think soberly,
and use your common sense, your God-given reason, to re-examine
some of your childish religious doctrines, and decide to get rid
of your deceptions. I am not saying that this is easy. Religious
brainwashing is a serious mental and emotional disorder that
does not go away easily. But you have to try. Nobody else can do
it for you!
And remember: "perfect love casts out fear". Don't be afraid of
losing your "salvation"! After all, no one can lose something
one does not have! "Salvation" is an ongoing process and it
requires inner enlightenment. It is a lifetime spiritual
evolution, for those who will choose and follow the narrow path
Christ was talking about. Nothing easy about it... It takes
self-denial, unconditional love and contentment. One must be
content even if none of his/her prayers are answered, even if
none of his/her dreams have been fulfilled. One must only care
about being the LIGHT, allowing God to manifest through his/her
inherent spirit - God's principle in each and everyone of us.
