Theocentric Musings

Followers of Christ that believe that Christians are in some kind of war...   Your theology is all messed up.   Followers of Christ are to be a welcome party to the Kingdom, not some kind of soldier, Rambo, warrior against everyone of other sexual orientation, religion, etc.   Look, don't get caught up in that end times, fear filled rhetoric, all their "sign of the times" posts are bogus.   Their blood moons was kaka, their harbinger was bovine excrement. Their picking of any negative event and claiming God is judging is bad use of scripture.   They use OT scriptures from a people that didn't see God (Jesus' own words not mine) and twist it to apply to people in a new covenant. That's ignorance at its finest.   You are too smart for that, your heart is too big for that, don't let them cage your heart. Listen to your heart, your heart tells you that they are teaching wrong things, devoid of Love, devoid of Jesus, trust yourself.   Don't let them take...

When you first meet Jesus, you are filled with love. You want to introduce Him to everyone, you are so darn giddy and floating on cloud 9. Then you get "taught" to hate, that some people or groups are bad, that certain acts, which vary from church to church and denomination to denomination, will separate you from God. You get told to not hang out with certain people, to stay away from different places, to not listen to certain things. Your excitement abates, you get indoctrinated, and your posts that first were filled with love and caring for others and a desire for others to know this One who loves you so much, turn to "warning", pointing out "false teachers", accusing, berating, attacking, judging. No one is off limits, not even your best friend, your parents, your siblings. You excuse it by saying Jesus said He came to set you against your family. Scriptures begin to be taken out of context, what is to be used to guide people to Christ, the...

Are we living in the last days? I don't know, but Christians have been saying it is for longer than I, or anyone reading this, have been alive. Most who have screamed it the loudest are dead or close to it. My advice, if you want it, is to stop longing for the end and walk like it's the beginning. You know, the beginning, like the 1st day you met Jesus. The excitement you had and how it just escaped through your tiniest pores. Let that excitement live anew in you and let others want that as badly as you did. Also, stop making a bunch of guessers rich by investing in all of their "end times" propaganda. Use the money you are spending on that on someone in need. Trust me, it's a better investment of time and money.
