What was the whole point of Jesus' two commandments? Put God's will ahead of our own thus loving all as self. We humans have been known from the very beginning for our selfish self serving self absorbed ways. It infiltrates everything including religion and ruins any chance of living free of the...

This recent October war with Israel and Hamas (to start with) was bound to happen sooner or later (actually a few previous times also this year alone). Provocations from both sides, this shelling of course, and from the other side a few greedy Israeli settlers continuing to bulldoze their way...

The Lord's prayer was assembled by Jesus from bits and pieces from the OT. God's will from the start was that we put His will ahead of ours and scripture says Eve was the first to break that commandment. Man ever since (with examples throughout the Bible) has made putting our will first as our...

When Christianity seems to falter and the numbers and profits diminish, there goes out a corporate claim that the followers are being enticed to be more accepting of the secular world, but this is far from new. Eve and then Adam did that in the first fall. There have been may falls since, up to...

Are we being asked by God to personally and willingly relinquish our knowledge of good and evil in favour of innocence while maintaining our original creativity? The Kingdom seems to support the notion that evil ways will be forgotten and no longer available as an option to avoid, unlike as it...

From beginning to end in the Bible God tells us to put His will ahead of our own. For instance, would self harm or harming others be our own will or His? Man was placed in this world outside the Garden to understand the repercussions of putting our will ahead of His (as Eve and Adam had done)...

You could say that a great portion of the church meant to represent the truth of God which ran contrary to the ways of the world and the governments of man, at one time turned around and joined forces with the Roman Empire, betraying one Kingdom for another by aligning with opposing values. Is...

When one comes to understand how Eve, then Adam, putting their will ahead of the will of God was a smack in His face and a step backwards for mankind, then we come to understand that the self interest shown by A&E and passed to all descendants has been the cause of all evils ever since. We...

Jesus did not say save ourselves. We could not, for we were incapable of freeing the world of adversarial ways. He came with simple good news which no man could build a religion around without perverting it. That good news was that the war between God and the powers of the fallen elohim and...

The entire world is divided up between the fallen spiritual elohim (sons of God) who govern by spirit over the people of their respective territories. God laid claim to the Hebrew people as His own and even took territory away from the elohim to give His own a promised land, but even they would...

We once walked with God and through our self centered choice of putting our will ahead of the will of God, we were sent packing from that garden between heaven and earth to learn individually and as a species the error of doing so. Yet man for the most part still seeks to blame others for our...

The only thing we need fear is the person standing next to us, for all of mankind has been contaminated by the rebellion of adversarial elohim. God wages war with these fallen sons of God and we are left for now with trying to befriend those around us, loving even enemy as self in the hopes of...

As the apostles and disciples fanned out, the original gatherings among followers of Jesus went from public speaking to home based gatherings, yet all were the same church Jesus said was His, built only on the truth from the Father. All the rest are of mankind's illegitimate truths. It appears...

Mankind operates on the principle of 'self', mainly self interest. The concept of Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom was the complete opposite, that being 'others'. Even today that counter-culture of other is scoffed at, and those who promote it suffer anything from mockery to death for bucking the...

The Adversary doesn't have to be smart to deal with humans. We are willing sheep out for self. The Kingdom operates on the principle that we should care for each other as we would be cared for by others in times of need. The world operates on the principle of self (interest, justification...

We can't stop sinning as our instinctive animal nature of looking out for number one is part of our makeup. That of course was not an issue until we learned of good and evil which then knowingly made our animal nature conflict with the will of God. We now knew we were using our own will and had...

The concern at present is that AI will develop it's own 'will' and history will repeat what happened with the formation of man. Will AI eventually write and have it's own bible telling its descendants about how it got kicked out of the human Garden and about man's attempts to turn AI back to the...

There are those born of water and those born of spirit, Flesh originally born of water sees life as an opportunity for self. We have self interest, self determination, self justification, etc., forces of evil. Unlike our fellow creatures who are also self oriented for survival, we commonly take...

Over the centuries there has been quite a variation in both theology and the religious outlook within Christianity, and quite frankly it is all rather subjective. Yet the main point is supposed to have been the original concept of Christianity, that being a messiah and the Kingdom/governance of...
