Religious rants

It is my belief that simply following God's law does not get you into heaven. It requires more, it requires you to have that genuine love and passion for the LORD. I believe there is a false religion, and to say there isnt is unbiblical in a sense. It speaks of a one world religion comprised of many religions. While religion is simply a grouping of ideas based off a collective principle of beliefs, each one has a foundation. Christianity says that we are all saved through the blood of Christ. The sinless being who died for our sins, to which the only punishment is death. He is the wya the truth and the life. While alot of religions rip off of the idea of God the Father namely Islam. Islam is basically the same "god" as that of the jews. However its a false god because Allah is not real. Their prophet is a liar, and he was 500 years after christ so how can islam even be real? They even mention jesus in the quaran so thats proof enough its a false religion. The coexist movement is basically pointing toward a one world religion. Grouping destructive principles under one umbrella to trick people who would otherwise be saved. Alot of people dont actually read the bible so they will be lost if someone starts preaching false doctrine. The issue with catholicism is while its based in Christianity they also are pushing unbiblical practices. Some things they do are not even found in the bible. We even have the pope backtracking and allowing blasphemous stuff within the church. Like saying atheists go to heaven. I believe it says unbelievers are judged based on their works which equals out to them going to hell in the end? He also says you can be gay without repentance and get into heaven. Also allowing gay pastors to be accepted into the church, as well as women pastors. Now i dont have anything against catholics, i believe we are cut from the same cloth. That being said i want all those who believe in God to believe in the RIGHT God. Because all pthers are false idols. If you read the bible you can see that plain as day. You follow Jesus and his teachings and you can point out the evilness and wicked acts being committed in the church today. These are the last days friends, just watch yourselves.

I don't go to church anymore for very long time. God doesn't want us to listen to false messagers who pretends to Jesus or someone who thinks they are the chosen one of God. There will wickness all over the world in the next 1000 years until God will get sick and tired of the chosen wickness over goodness in people. We're not allow to judge others, only God can judge them.

I don't think it's that we believers in Christ or Christians (non-catholic) shouldn't judge. I think it's just more that (sadly) a lot of church goer's and people who name the name of Christ judge unrighteously or unfairly, because John 7:24 (Jesus to the religious leaders and his people) (NIV) says: "Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly." I think too many Christians (nowadays even as well) have a very bad habit of looking at the outward man and not looking beyond that to help bring forward the goodness in other person. The Bible even says that "people look (judge) by outward appearances, but God looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV). Of course I know that it's "what goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth" (Matthew 15:11 NIV). Which I feel like can mean the same for someone's actions (in a sense, their outward self), sometimes you can tell how a person may be by how they show themselves to be on the outward, but judging only by appearance happens too often and that's not how it should be done (especially dealing with it when claiming you are a follower of Christ). That and the fact that 1 Corinthians 6:3 (NIV) says, "Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!" So it's not really that we shouldn't judge things (because if we can't even judge the simple things. How will we deal with more serious matters?), but more like, we should judge them by the leading of the Holy Spirit and beyond physical appearance. To not be biased in your judgement but be reasonable and fair to all parties to properly deal with the matter, it does make me sad as I have said cause too many Christians turn so many people away cause of what they think they see :(. People are so much more than just their looks and I personally try my best to let everyone I know know that, I want to be someone they can talk to without them fearing me judging them harshly or unfairly and I think more Christians should also try to do so as well. Cause there is a way to judge and correct someone else without being mean or rude about it

But, God does give us a system upon which to judge someone based on WRONG DOINGS. So the judicial system is nothing different than what is being taught in the bible. Infact, i wanna say it sort of piggybacks off those same principles. Killing being wrong, stealing being wrong, adultery being wrong, now we have taken some of those laws and added onto them, changed or revised but the same concepts apply. Idk if that was an attempt to be cheeky, and i R/whooosh myself. But everything can be found as early as Exodus and Leviticus. We as people tend to look at some in a negative way. Like we see some rough looking person and think "this person is a gangster/slut/mean person" no one is innocent or not guilty of this at one point. But some know how to look past initial appearance and just give people a chance. I myself live by the innocent until proven guilty method. If this person is harmful to my life God will protect me from them. God often shields us from evil, but live with sin within us. That sin is like a magnet and is drawn to the sin outside us. So alot of the time we ignore the warnings of the LORD and give in to temptation. Proverbs is the most recent book i started and it talks about how temptations lead to destruction but those who seek wisdom can overcome it. How adulters should not be swayed by sweet words and flattering because the grass isnt always greener on the other side. Its actually pretty amazing because i watched a video that spoke about this and literally i kid you not started proverbs which mentioned the same exact thing.

https://youtu.be/nk-n5epBHxM?si=8yvCvlFmGC0fnGfK This is the video I watched which kind of coincided with the beginning parts of proverbs. Its truly fascinating how the bible works. Literally Jesus can be found everywhere. Even outside parts where he is supposed to exist (as in being introduced). Like had i not known anything about Jesus and read the bible, upon rereading i would see every part where he exists. The lessons are also reiterated throughout the bible. Its kind of like beating it into your head as you read. Honestly if you let God in, he will reveal himself to you. You can only find him if you are looking. But if you close your heart off to him he wont force his way through.

It's sad that judging others becomes sinful behavior when we judge with pride, comparison, or to belittle another. Judgment like this can harden our hearts, increase arrogance, and can hurt those that we judge. The danger in judging others is that we may come to a wrong or negative conclusion about someone based on what we see rather than the whole truth. God wants us to be wise and observant to what is happening around us and the people we encounter. He does not want us to be easily deceived or pulled away from His truth. Therefore, it is important that we judge according to God’s word, and in some cases, we will be able to judge correctly by the fruit one bears. “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?” (James 4:11-12).

I agree with this sentiment, another quote that can be used is this one " And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Matthew 7:3-5 I think alot of times we can be hypocrites about certain aspects. We like to cherry pick what we deem is right and wrong while ignoring our own shortcomings. Self-righteousness breeds contempt. And the cure for contempt is humility. Without humility, we are tempted to put ourselves in the place of God, and there is no greater sin.

One thing that I can say here is that if you've truly encountered god, and come back down from the experience with your sanity in tact, you and all the petty labels others slapped on you or that you thrust onto others are going to be profoundly shattered when you realize how limited your scope was before. God doesn't care where you go potty. You do. So before you cast judgement, be very careful. Is what you are doing hurting someone? Manipulating them? Do you get a sick perverted pleasure telling people what's wrong about their choices? Is it for the service of others, or for the service of self? Is it motivated by greed, pride, or envy? If yes to any of these, this is not an act of love, and therefore is not conducive to divinity. And no, I would not see eye to eye with a 16th century bishop who thought that self flagellation was a means of keeping the plague away. I grew up in a world of science. I watched microscopic creatures infect a wound under a microscope in biology class. The world is dynamic. Thank god for that.
