Well Epi, you will have to show me where/how JESUS was in any way lifted up in your message.
You could have asked that rather than say things you know are untrue and garner support among the carnal. When a believer leaves the milk of the basic message of who Jesus is and what He came to do...then the ground becomes very unfamiliar. And that kind of unfamiliarity is very scary to a novice believer. What should be done is to seek the Lord about it.
And just because I don;t use religiously affirming messages to carnal believers doesn't mean that I am not leading people to Christ.
What is this thing called "eternal consciousness"...
That is something reserved for those who are ACTUALLY born from above. The bible calls this being "enlightened" ....but you would find that new agey....since you have no idea what anything beyond a temporal religious sphere looks like. I purposefully didn't use that terminology for the weakness of faith in the churches of today. One must stay away from anything spiritual to not offend the spoiled occupiers of the nursery support system.
The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,” ..
The light of God is not a philosophical light as you suppose....but an actual true light. You live in the realm of a dead religion.
.shouldn't the point be that we have been awakened at the cost of Jesus' own life to an awareness and experience of Jesus and God Almighty?
What awareness? A religious awareness? When I speak of that awareness as a consciousness that extends beyond a basic humanity....you freak out. Being trapped in a religious box and all.
It's not about "us". Your message leaves me feeling empty.
Good. You need to go to the cross and allow that other part of you to be exposed to the truth.....OUTSIDE the camp you have pitched your religious tent in.
Exactly how I felt when I started to go down a new agey kind of path. Thankfully I realized Jesus wasn't there, it was leaving me empty so realized I had made a wrong turn down a rabbit hole.
Your discernment leaves a lot to be desired. Your own encounter with false religion at the Toronto fiasco .....has informed you poorly as to what the genuine article is. Just because you left when the barking and clucking were coming out...doesn't mean that all that preceded it was from God. THAT is your new age gospel...that spoiled you seemingly forever from the love of the truth. You spoiled your own soul. Now you are a shell of a person that has as your ultimate purpose to be a "bible lady" warning others to not stray from the confines of a religious box that uplifts the self.
