bbyrd009, you have some mighty big kahunas to write what you have on any Christian Forum!
That's all I have to say...and you have been treated pretty well here!
I would never have. EDIT: But, below I ended up doing just that! HA!
Go figure...
Good for you ! *applauseemoji*
Since Feb 2010, I remember the instant when I realized Jesus didn't die for my sins.*
He certainly lived to teach us so much and was killed for it.
EDIT: My plan was to end here! Lol...
* It was like the Holy Spirit brought in angels singing...the freedom knowing that it was never
'me'...I was always loved...no savior to die needed, since I was always loved.
A holy teacher to guide me to the Truth and to my Father, yes.
But, I saw, the Father never wanted blood sacrifices, would never
torture His own Son...I was ingrained with untruths by
men following savage, primitive thoughts of ignorant men blaming a God; but they
drifted so far away from their Origin they forgot who they were,
thus suffered in this physical earth...so blamed their very Creator!
'He' was angry, thus, thunder, floods, earthquakes..."Let's slit the throat of a goat, then."
They made up stories similar to throwing virgins in volcanoes...as if these barbaric murders
would placate the Volcano, aka God Himself.
The barbaric, bloody solutions were like those of the savage thoughts of children
pulling wings off of butterflies...or killing lambs!
I have to stop...it is so ridiculous this blood sacrifice was 'needed' by God ....oh my gosh, can't believe I expressed this on a Christian site....
thing is
ppl need to believe what they do for a reason...so I'm not here to change anyone...
'you' want to believe God 'needed' Jesus' blood to be spilled ...
fine with me...we can find many things we do agree on.
Jesus taught us nothing is what it appears to be, ie, death, water, sickness...physical 'laws'.
He didn't have to die for me to be atoned/attuned to my Holy Father.
But, thank you Jesus and the Christ in you that came here for us.
License needed? My brain, my readiness and opening to the revelation from God shown to me...downloaded into my being...transforming my life into praise.
