Are You Sure ?

 

Kindred,

Are you sure your "Christian" friends have been practicing Christianity?  

Why do I not recognize any Christian attributes in any of their words or actions?  

Where is the love?  

Where is the kindness, empathy and compassion?  

There is no aggression or hate in any of the Teachings of Jesus Christ.  

Yet, your friend gets off of power trips of aggression and hate, delighting in evil and practicing sins, deadly and unholy.

Terrorism in harassing, abusing and sinful behaviors is not strength or safety and is definitely not Christianity.  

Why create more fear or more hate?  

Fear and hate are completely opposite of the Teachings of Christ and the Commandments to love.

Are you sure you are followers and servants of Christ?

Kindred,

Unfortunately for your unfortunate friend, there is an inverse correlation between feeling powerful and being peaceful.  

The more power one feels, the less that person receives in love and peace.  

Why? 

Because that person is blocking the love and peace (and the Holy Spirit) with power. 

Therefore, more power, less sensitive to self, the Holy Spirit and humanity.  

Brute force, aggression and power does not translate into intelligence or wisdom, because not connected to the mind or spirit or the Lord in Holy Spirit.  

Stop the Hate

Stop the hate.  

Say no to antisemitic, prejudice against Jewish people, in speech, attitude and acts of violence.

No true Christians hate.  

No true believers hate. 

Why? 

Because it is against Jesus' Commandments to love.

Remember, Jesus Christ was born Jewish.  

"Jesus was a Jew. 

He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. 

All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. 

He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship, what we call synagogues."*

Say No to the crucifiction of Christ, a Jew, and the Teachings of Christ.

Why does it feel like we are in a Hans Christian Andersen story of the Emperor's New Clothes?

Watching a so-called emperor wearing clothes drenched in grandiose power trips and imaginary splendor? 

A masquerade wrapped in a sham facade fueled by fear and hate. 

Take away the fear and power trips and what is there?  

Lies, lies and more lies;

Liabilities, liabilities and more liabilities;

Sins, sins and more sins;

Compounded, excessive and continuous.

A gluttony of abuses and abuses of power. 

An inability to see reality and brave the truth:

The level of shame and disgrace perpetrated by so-called emperors, prancing around in their emperor's clothing, is at excessive, high and embarrassing levels.

Let's our discussions on power.  

What is power?  

Power is the ability to control over or have authority, or influence over others.  

Now answer a couple of tricky questions:

What is the scope of your power? 

And what is beyond the scope of your power?
