We need to restore Jesus through a Hebrew perspective, what it meant at the time. Memories of past debate become traditions and end up overruling scripture in favour of the ways of religious institutions. The Christ ends up being made over in a gentile perspective when seen through gentile eyes...
When you stop to consider Jesus' prime enemy and main adversary was the clergy and religion of the day, there may be some present day bewilderment. He chastised them for putting themselves and their rules between the people and God (whom He tried to bring back to the people in a personal...
Most humans, including Christians, have trouble getting past themselves. They need to get back to what they were before the fall.. a being basically unaware of it's body and self and more in tune with it's true nature.
Anyone who loves all as self, no matter who in this world, is already...
In case no one noticed, God doesn’t need to save us. We do.
We are children of our Father, and it is time to get past our rebellious teenage phase and start going out and acting in the ways He instructed us to carry on the Fatherly business, servitude to Him and each other in need. But of...
We are often considered dreamers because we don't like this world we have made in our own image. That means we don't like us and that can make a lot of enemies, not because we want to, but because others resent our dislike of who we are. But to many, the dream (the Kingdom) makes sense, while...
The Bible, from front to back, is about following the Will of God, not of man. Anyone claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit will be known by their works which diametrically oppose the self serving will of man. As Jesus said, servitude to the Father and to all in need. No 'self' involved.
"Thy...
Jesus said He did nothing of His accord, only the will of the Father, as should we. Neither Jesus nor we are to do anything of our own accord, other than what is directed. We are free to decorate that cake any way we want, but the recipe is the Father's.

Once upon a time, early institutionalized religion deemed it unwise for the populace to have access to scripture. They were partially right because scripture used improperly could detract from the original meaning. They decided, in order to control the narrative, they would promote their own...
We, for the most part, have heard of the phrase 'going to hell in a handbasket'. In this present age there are some who think we are making great progress in achieving this utopia mankind seeks, both in religion and outside of it. One need only look in this now receding generation, back at a...
There have always been those of the Kingdom (not to be confused with religion) and those of the world. Today with all the human chaos and fighting over rights instead of responsibility to each other, those of the Kingdom are either mocked or seen as threats. Not for their physical actions of...
One must remember that the later Gentile alteration of the original Jewish Christianity, was cultural appropriation of what could be used to create a new human dynasty with Hellenistic influence that eventually fit in with, and served the unification needs of the Roman Empire. That's what...
There is much strife within Christianity, with many bullying others into following their way. Is there a solution? How does one transition from flesh to spirit? Stop serving ourselves and serve God and each other as commanded. A simple start is to be polite and helpful to all in need (inside...
Ever go to a mall to find a hundred stores owned by the same company putting different names on the same product to give the impression of choice? How is religion different? Perhaps the personality seeks that which suits itself to avoid further seeking or change. It's like clothing. Instead of...
There is only one Spirit of the Father, and all those who are a part of it throughout history are on the same frequency, no matter how much their identities differs. They are one with God and each other. Those who claim to be on track but do not follow His Will stand out, their adversarial...
Adam and Eve had a choice given to them and they took the wrong one. As a result, it is up to us to choose whether we want to follow their choice, self-interest upon which we have made the world in our own image, or alternately, choose instead to follow the Will of God, acting in servitude to...
Christians find it hard to separate the world of man from the Kingdom, perhaps because the religion abandoned the Kingdom centuries ago to re-join the world of man. When one talks of a 'body of Christ', one is referring to those of the Kingdom and it's ways, not the ways of mankind. The Kingdom...
Jesus only asked four main things of us. To put God's will ahead of our own. To love all, including enemies, as self (just be kind and courteous). To repent of the backwards self-serving ways of man. To spread the good news, that being His Gospel of the Kingdom. God will take care of His...
People say repent, but are not often clear themselves of WHAT, simple as it may be. Stop putting our will ahead of the will of God. His will is we act in servitude to each other rather than lead the self-serving lives we have led. A simple reversal of what took place in the Garden. The world is...
There are two opposing powers at work as the world is made of both, existing because of each other, necessary to be working in tandem for creation to exist. Everything has an opposite. Information we were not to have, until the wrong tree was chosen and the knowledge gained. Two opposing wills...
What you don't know won't hurt you. This saying is often bandied about. Yes it is true, but does that give another person the right to take advantage of your blissful ignorance? Why should we trust any other human? What if suspicion arises, whether justified or not? Is this not a cancer? So, is...
