You are making my point by unwittingly imposing a totalitarian interpretation on the text. There is no life or death duality in the words of Jesus. They are in your mind...planted there through a totalitarian indoctrination. Thank you for the example.

Adding Judy to a growing prayer list of people who are afflicted right now...

1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. What this does not mean is that whoever SAYS He has the Son has life: Just because we have Jesus' name on our letterhead or our building does not mean we HAVE Him. The above verse is a descriptive...

But I also see the easier commitment of righteousness...the universal effort to do all one can and to love others as oneself. I think that the majority of the church will always be the righteous. But the problem is when the righteous are called saints...which they are not. So I see a big...

Thanks John. I think that the door to "heaven" has been made to be so wide that people try entering into life without thinking of what it really means. They don't see the cost or the risk. They have been induced through mass hypnosis into believing they are somehow "in" Christ by reciting a glib...

Partly. But also to become a Jew is a very big commitment. They want you to REALLY count the cost. Just as Jesus said His followers should. So we also should try dissuading people from following holiness...UNTIL they also count the cost. So it isn't a question of they NOT wanting a...

Hebrew has no vowels...so the noun and the verb are the same words...three letters mostly. The difference is context. The verb sabach and the noun sevach are identical. The same three letters. The vowels are added in based on context alone. The pronunciation follows the usage...not the word...

True Christianity is Judaic in nature...not Islamic. It is a two-tired message that includes a universal righteousness AND an exclusive holiness. Jesus died for the sins of the WHOLE world. Not just for believers. This is universal and shows that God is NOT totalitarian in His ways. God is NOT...

So how did we go from a Judaic worldview to an Islamic one? We know why. It was deemed as a necessary evil for the sake of survival (but survival of what?). How we did it is how we subvert any truth we encounter in the bible. We do it by twisting the meaning of the bible to support our...

What I mean to show is that the very doctrines taught by the modern church deny the freedom that Jesus came to bring...and that the rulers in the church have opted for a more Islamic worldview..a totalitarian worldview...that says become like us or die.

If we are truly free and know how to think...we see we have a choice between 2 worldviews...the Judaic (salvation is of the Jews)...or else the Islamic view (become like us or die). Since the beginning of the worldly challenge to the truth which is in Christ...we have opted for less and less...

I'm drawing a distinction here between Judaic thought and Islamic thought . At one point Islam was the great rival to Christianity (which it still is). And the churches sought to fight fire with fire. They decided to fight one kind of totalitarian doctrine with another one. It has often...

Now both political extremes are totalitarian in nature...they being fascism and communism. We know that communism had as it's ultimate goal...to make the whole world communist. (very similar to Islam that way) We see the Chinese government, a totalitarian communist regime at that...that has...

You can actually get a modern Hebrew dictionary where it will tell you that "sabach" (as in sabachthani) means entangled. Even to this day the words mean the same thing. What you are missing in all this is the lack of a rigidity with God. Dogmatic religion is rigid. And Jesus could have just...

Now I think we all realize that Islam is a totalitarian system. I don't say just religion since Islam covers a lot more than just religious ideas. Islam also ventures into the political sphere...seeking to control every aspect of a person's life. On a religious level...the world is seen by...

Actually Jesus doesn't say "forsaken"...but 'entangled"...as in... My God My God why have you entangled Me? The word "sabach" in Hebrew means entangled (past tense). This is a reference to Gen.22 and the ram caught in the thicket or "sevach" (hence the crown of thorns) . In Psalm 22 the word is...

Too many people have replaced the living God with the bible. So the bible is informative and points to God...but the bible itself (without the action of the Spirit) can actually take you down the wrong road. The road of self-justification....as we see so many believers take in these times. It is...

Because of the basic limitation of the human mind. Even the smallest things that God does are beyond our imagination. The human minds tries associating things by comparison. But God is incomparable. So you need to be visited by God and enlightened by Him to perceive Him as He is. Otherwise it...

It isn't for us to delineate what is God's church and what is the church established by men and led by men (or worse)....but we can have a good idea of this if we know what to look for. God does things very differently from men. That's why there are so many denominations. But trying to tie God...

People in every religion strive in their own power to be good and holy. But that is not the way of Christ. Jesus already perfected the walk in the flesh in holiness. So when we enter INTO Christ we put on His resurrection life by grace. In Him there is no sin. So the only striving we do is to...
