IS CHRISTIANITY A 'false' RELIGION ?

Maybe you've even heard this question presented before.  There is a large group that are kind of bull-headed and most likely wouldn't be able to offer an answer which has much 'integrity' to this 'Question' because their armor is based on being pre-programmed with instruction (doctrine) that seems to be a fail-safe for them.

Realizing the sensitivity that goes along with this question, it is necessary that we  pay faithful attention to the care and understanding of this Question, "Is Christianity a false religion?", in a way that is 'unfeigned' and 'holy' with respect toward G-d Himself. 

'Some of the Most common simple answers are': 
a. Christianity is the only True Religion.
b. All religions would seem to have some sort of value to society in general.
c. There are also other Religions one could consider.
d. Christianity is a religion that science likes to 'paint' as being a bit off-center.

But - the 'weightier' simple answer is? . . . All 'religions' are man-invented. . . All 'religion's' are a 'copy cat production' of the original 'Non-Profit organized Assemblage' of 'The tree of the knowledge of good and it's evil Master'

There is generally speaking, only 1 sufficient reason anyone would desire giving a non-inflamed, response to this question. 

Some would just be desiring approval from others to show they are scholarly enough to address it. (pride) 

Others would only address it because it threatens their beliefs, and it stirs up a seed of resentment within themselves to one degree or another that they feel needs to be 'defended'.They would like to create, at least a small arsenal of some answers so they will have their own supply of rocks to throw at those who don't agree. 

Very few would attempt to examine this 'Question' because it might be a question that is genuine enough to consider, or because they really do hunger for a more pure G-d-fearing  "Holy" Truth. 

The reason that 'religions' exist is that typically, most mortals do recognize something invisible going on  inside themselves (the inside cause) that seems to need to be answered. The Who am I, Why am I even here? Where did I come from, and Where am I going if my breath leaves my body for good? (of course there will be some exceptions to this, but you and I both know this is how common men tend to reason within themselves at the times they think more deeply.)
'Religions motivational speakers', Family, friends, and social obligatory peer pressures can also add a squeeze to it at times. (the outside cause)

Are you secure enough to ask yourself this question?

 - - - Does something from  within that  'daydream believer logic'  part of your brain seem to kind of sense that the voice of   'Religion Itself '    is more like an 'enchantment' that is saying to you . . .

 ~'You shall not surely die: For God does know that in the day you nourish yourself with my fruit, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as those in heaven, 'Knowing Good and Evil' from the nourishment you'll receive from the fruition of my 'branches' . . . Just trust me. ~

 ( ~ 'Doctrines' ,'tenets', and 'rules' of religion's protocol 
(their own commandments) 
are really not much more than just 'copycats' of that Knowledge of 'Good' and 'Evil'  ~  ) 

 In one form or another it is the same 'fruition' as the 'fruition' of  those 'branches' of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil spoken of by the 'motivational speaker' who convinced Eve to trust him.  He was a serpent.
(the creation of 'man' was never supposed to 'mate' with those laws.
They do have their place, but it's not to be 'the driver' inside 'us'. ) 

It is interesting to say the least, that Yahshua also referred to religion's

 'titled' ; upper-crust motivational speakers of His day as 

 'Serpents'.

My reason for pursuing this answer is a (holy) desire for the (holy) Truth . . .
and there 'really' is a 'greater' answer than those typically mentioned above.

The 'Greater' Answer - An answer of much 'Weightier' value is:

Any 'religion' always has, and always will 'fall short' of the Truth
. . . Christianity is a 'religion' . . .
The 'Gospel' of Yahshua (Jesus) is instead, a simple, unquestionable, trustworthy 'promise', a 'holy handshake style' of agreement, a 'holy betrothal'. . .
and 'truly'; it is not a 'religion'.
It is given to and for simple 'unlearned' and 'ordinary' men.

Even though 'religion' is the leading, unrivaled mortal attempt
(which 'seems' like it should be valid) 
to answer that invisible 'murmuring' question inside us, it is like a a sly 'Trap' that keeps men from searching a bit deeper for the (holy) Truth. 'Religion' does touch on the edges of 'holy' Truth in enough areas to give a 'magical illusion' that mortals have discovered a perfect and appropriate  'Answer'.
But -'Religion' itself is is really more like putting a band-aid, and cosmetic
cover-up on a deep wound.

Yahshua didn't ask us to create a new 'religion' for Him, and separately 'brand' it.
Yahshua also didn't ask us to make the planet a better place for the human race.

Yahshua didn't ask us to spend time trying to prove to others that G-d exists. 

Yahshua did not tell us to just change the 'titles of scribes, pharisees, and doctors of the law - to 'titles' of theologian, pastor, and clergy.

He did tell those who actually believe, and trust  'IN' / 'ON Him to announce and circulate Good News. The news that 'He' had done what was necessary to rescue and restore us.

(Redeeming our approval,  acceptance  and eternal standing before of G-d)

'Religion' is , as likely as not, best explained as: ' a mortal neighborhood ' that is administrated by mortals with 'titles' of so-called  'highness' ; (theological politicians); complete with their paralegal, card carrying mouthpieces who 'claim' to speak for God, to their common fellow man;  along with their fanciful meanings (doctrines / rules) which seem to be at heart - nothing more than the 'Knowledge of Good and Evil' rules; in one form or another. That's not an 'approved power' that 'man' was ever  supposed to get involved with. 

Instead of or rather than circulating the 'Gospel' which Yahshua asked his followers to announce. That 'Gospel' - 'G-d's Promise' works from a 'greater' depth than that 'daydream believer logic' part of the brain. G-d's Promise works by the 'teaching' and 'guidance' from the "Holy Spirit" instead ~ from the depths of your heart, your soul, and your spirit; ~
(your belly, your gut level direction and guidance; Wisdom's intrinsic tutorship) 
 ~ rather than 'mortal reasoning'.

The greater,  and - weightier - Answer is: Yes, you mortals (myself included), G-d is. He 'Himself'  has given us a greater answer than any 'religion'. It can be compared to a "Gentleman's style of Agreement", with a Handshake 'style and character' of 'understanding'; an unquestionable 'Word of Honor' Promise to be forever counted on between You and 'G-d Himself'; 'alive' in our 'soul' (not in our 'brain' ; not in our conscience) - (an 'unquestionable' Agreement to all who will 'promise' to 'G-d Himself' to accept it on an individual basis.). . . 

 . . and of course, if you were around more than a few others who also believed and accepted the same 'Promise', you would be just like an 'exemplary' family. It is wholesome, holy, easily perceived, and available. 

Drop ' the religion stuff ' and Honor 'His Intended Purpose' instead.

The  'Word of Honor' style of agreement is so important that G-d needed someone to 'hand over', and bring to pass; the getting it to you.

   Someone from the Kingdom of Heaven; who would be willing to become mortal so the "Promise" could be delivered to mankind.

 - why? -

 Remember; the creation of 'man' had already 'forfeited' G-d's 'open and direct guidance' of having a loving, totally trustworthy 'innocent' relationship with 'G-d Himself' .
 ('the fall of man' - in the Garden of Eden)

G-d's plan called for someone who was most trustworthy, honest, unable to be turn-coated by any sly contender, someone who could not be pressured by persecution, or even death to mess it up; Someone who was 'exactly' like G-d-Himself, who thought 'exactly' the same as G-d, understood 'exactly' the same as G-d.and acted 'exactly' the same as G-d, had 'exactly' the same spirit as G-d, and was 'Holy'; to present G-d's "Word of Honor - Agreement" to us so that it's quality  would be 'unquestionable'.

He chose and sent His Word to deliver it. And His only begotten (and the Word became flesh)  Son did deliver God's 'Word of Honor - Agreement' to us from His Father, to be given to each and every individual mortal who would accept it. It was never intended to be given as a 'religion' with it's diverse soap-box 'protocols' .
If a thimbleful of 'religion' is even mixed into it ; it will soon begin to give birth to a bitter-sweet taste, that shrewdly functions to both 'diminish', and 'cover-up' the intended - 'Power' - of the the Holy Ghost (G-d's own Spirit).

Why is it 'greater' to think of it more like it's a 'Gentleman's style ', - Word of Honor Promise 'concept' of an - Agreement with  "God Himself" ?

Because that is what turns it into an 'unquestionable' and  'heart-felt'  promise; a promise that is sealed by mutual 'Respect' and 'Total Trust'. . . Between 'you' and 'G-d Himself '. . . unlike a religious courtroom 'paper contract attitude'  that is frankly kind of 'cold-hearted';  made dependable only because of the possibility of 'mistrust' regardless of   'respect',  or  'dignity',  and usually carries kind of a  'whiff'  of  'disdain'  and 'contempt'.  (contemptuous uncertainty)

Courtroom paper 'frame of mind' contracts always seem to have hidden within them; fine print, escape clauses, and legal strings attached kind of stuff (movable parts); that can backbite, or cause unexpected conflict or contest. Paper 'frame of mind' contracts always seem to have a need to be read by chapter; page number; paragraph number; and line number, by some 'big shot' doctor of the law - Clubhouse lawyer, for their continuous and never-ending verification, along with their 
 'blinding-light-glow'
on how to work it and juggle it.

The unquestionable, 'Word of Honor' - 'Total Trust' agreement with G-d Himself is called the Gospel of Yahshua; some call it the New Covenant; others just call it G-d's Promise, . . . but if and when mortal written "postscripts", (by-laws, rules, and doctrines) get added to it, The Gentleman's Handshake, Word of Honor - style of Agreement with G-d then starts to become - void of Power - paper thin - pointless  -  and fruitless; when presented before the 'eyes of G-d'.

 Why? . . . 
Because those things begin polluting the 'Total Trust' in His already 'betrothed', and Spoken, 'Living Promise', by adding their own inborn nature to it.  
Those 'things' work like yeast, and they just never want to stop fermenting; or becoming your favored 'choice' of 'drivers' inside you. 

The "Word of Honor Agreement" with 'G-d Himself ' cannot be written on paper because it's 'greater' design is rather to be inscribed in Spirit, in/on men's hearts and to 'work' by the performance of the Holy Spirit in our 'soul' (our inward parts)
( Individually, and distinctively ) 

 A piece of paper does not have what it takes to do that;  is not capable of acquiring or receiving it; nor does it have the ability to impart  it! That is why  "The One" who 'handed over' G-d's Promise to us,  'Did Not'  write it down on a piece of paper for us.

 Leave that 'religion stuff '; which has a major consequence of over-riding  G-d's own, 'living wisdom' : with 'the knowledge of good and evil' rules: out of your 'recovery' with G-d.        selah

So; where do we go to learn what God desires of us ? . . . To the same place that Noah went. The same place the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob went, The same place that the Prophets went; The same place that the Apostle John went; the same place that all the disciples of Jesus went. the same place that Jesus went to and came from.

 It's called 'The Kingdom of Heaven' . . . it has no street address, it has no internet address . . . because it's inside you. We are to 'attend' at that place.

Why?

Because the Kingdom of God is at hand . . . not going to be . . . but is now there.

Being familiar with this Question, it seems to me that this really is the "greater" answer; and the "weightier" answer;

In a manner that is unshakable,  I choose to bet my life on it's light.

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL

We have, generally speaking, all heard of the Gospel of Yahshua.

The simplest review about it is:
 For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever 'Believed 'IN' Him.-
 (in His Holy  'no strings attached'  Intent and Purpose)
-would receive eternal life. God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. Those who 'Believe "IN" Him' won't be condemned. But those who Don't Believe are already condemned because they Don't Believe 'IN' God's only Son. That is why people are condemned:

What makes this so important?

Because

For the "First time" in the history of mortal man, 
  ~ G-d's own Spirit ~

(The Holy Spirit / "The 'Word"/ The same 'Word' that  ~  in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with G-d and the Word was G-d, and by Him were all things made, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life and the life was the light of men; and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not; and the Word became flesh (Yahshua) ; He is the 'One' whom Yahshua baptizes those who 'authentically believe' in Him with)

 was put in the position of being God's chosen Teacher and Guide
( Our Personal Trainer)
  for those who believe in Him; instead of a 'mortal priesthood' .

Yahshua is the 'ONE' who made this possible by the works He did here on planet earth.
 That is why Yahshua is the "Messiah".

"And That Is The Gospel  which Yahshua asked his disciples to spread to the ends of the world."

"The Gospel 'is' the New Covenant"
'G-d's Promise'

Think of it more like it's "A Gentleman's, Word of Honor style of Agreement" with G-d Himself,
 instead of a religious courtroom deposition kind of relationship !

Again . . . Why is it 'greater' to think of it more like a 'Gentleman's, word of  honor style' of Agreement with God' ?

 Once more - because that is what turns it into an 'unquestionable' and  'heart-felt'  promise; A promise that is sealed by mutual  'respect' and ' total  trust '. . . between 'you' and G-d' Himself . . . ( It's really a betrothal ) and is like night and day when compared to any 'paper contract attitude' which is frankly 'cold-hearted'; made dependable only because of the possibility of 'mistrust'  regardless of  'respect', or 'dignity',  and usually carry's kind of a  'whiff'  of 'disdain'  and  contemptuous 'uncertainty'.
Why?
Because that  'lawful' style  attitude has a built in symptom of losing it's balance 'time after time'; making those who are attempting to believe; 'time after time'; feel like they are slipping in and out of  their restoration to and with G-d; to the point of  being in need of a 'checkup' with some 'doctor of the law' mortal, on it's rules for verification; because it seems to have a lot of moving parts.
It's just not the same as 'Totally Trusting, and Loving the Lord your G-d Himself, in  that 'first love' excitement over what He 'Himself' has  'Proposed' in a 'Promise'  to you yourself.

The Kingdom of Heaven does not  'run' on the 'Letter of the Law' but instead  'fulfills'  "life"  for us through and by only the 'Spirit of the Law'.and that is  exactly why
Jesus (Yahshua) ,
 ~ after His resurrection said  ~
 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel, and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit". 

The 'creation' of G-d; 'called man'  lost it's (direct oversight) personal 'one'IN'one',Trustworthy relationship with G-d by being scammed in G-d's Garden of Eden. It happened as a result of a smooth talking 'religion protocol' scam artist convincing them that if they would 'overlook' what G-d told them about 'not' eating fruit (fruition) from the branches of the tree of  the knowledge of good and evil that they would become just like G-d ; knowing 'good' and 'evil';
 if they would just eat that fruit!

 Selling them on a ''dog and pony show'' that would dis-mantle  their existing; recognized; 'one'IN'one' trustworthy relationship  and their direct personal oversight from G-d Himself; where G-d (Himself) was already  teaching and guiding them, at the time, 'Himself',  both in and about 'wisdom' ! . The serpent was implying that they would really get  approval from G-d  quicker and smarter - merely by using a 'sweet little trick'; - just by tasting an enticing; and  well blended fellowship of
' religion sense' - " Knowledge of Good and Evil Rules" ... cheat sheet stuff. 

 And it appeared 'genuine', -but- the Letter of the Law 'naked truth' only flashed it's 'demise'. But instead: It was the 'original' Non-Profit organized Assemblage
and it embeds, and leavens the loaf continually with 'The Letter of the Law'

The updated current version of that same scenario is not really much different
 - other than -
just 'name-dropping'  "the name of Jesus
 into it's sly-crafted leavening.

 Adam and Eve got 'swindled' - lost  their 'direct oversight'  from G-d Himself - and they became 'captives', and a bargaining chip for the one who captured them - and they were 'trapped'

Adam and Eve (man's earthly origin patriarchs) weren't the only ones to get swindled by that same 'sweet talking' serpent . . . it still happens every day to the descendants of Adam and Eve. 

That tree of the 'knowledge of good and evil'  is 'religion' with it's branches; that is still branching out.

Prophet-ing with it's branches that 'snake' out like  'spiritual-insurance-companies'; and  'spiritual-beautification salon-chains'; on every street corner and every 'marketplace' they can find;  to sell 'you' on  their 'you need our protection 'cover' / dazzle G-d with a perfect 10  appearance (disguise); Then summing it up with their 'guilty conscience flavors' of sales pressure.

That same 'Serpent' has left these ones too; on that same road; stripped; beaten : robbed; and half dead. (feeling trapped)

Seek G-d's  Promise to both repair the damage, and reconcile yourself with'G-d' instead!
And  'this'  is really what the Gospel of Yahshua is all about!

The 'Gospel' is the story of how Jesus (Yahshua) fulfilled all the things that were necessary to both rescue G-d's creation of man; and restore that 'one'IN'one' trustworthy relationship with "G-d Himself'" which was lost when Adam and Eve were fooled by that motivational speaking 'serpent' in G-d's Garden; to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil  That is what the 'fall' of man was all about, and  Yahshua's' baptism in the Holy Spirit - with Power is what was and is needed to take place  to 'rescue' , and 'restore' that 'one'IN'one' relationship of 'pure trust' with God Himself.  That can only come from trusting, and respecting Yahshua's' 'holy' and true purpose.

i know we are all at different mile-post markers in our walk. 

i have needed to simplify my walk to just saying that i am a believer in the Lion of the tribe of Judah. That is more than sufficient for me. Not just believing about Him, but in Him, and constantly applying my 'trust' only to just His own spoken words. i have also set aside using the term of Christian and identify much more comfortably with what the church was before the 'Nickname' "Christians" was given to it by outsiders in Antioch.
 They were simply; ' Believers in Yahshua of Nazareth' - The Son of G-d.
'the way'

Though i know the bible, i have set it aside also in favor of just placing my 'trust' in ~ on, preferring the actual words of Jesus (Yahshua) only. i have a red letter publication that includes only the words of Messiah.

This seems to eliminate the confrontation with those man made doctrines of  organized religion. i'm not saying that G-d doesn't provide spiritual doctrine within our spirit and our soul, but i rather prefer 'His' own 'living wisdom'; oversight and guidance into what is actually 'His' doctrine.

 When i first heard the words 'Jesus set me free' It seemed that it was never  something that i was 'really' able to grasp deep down in the honest reflection of my soul no matter how hard i tried . . . Now truly; for the first time in my life, i can both say it and touch it.  By exchanging those 'earthly church' doors, for the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah" door, my walk with G-d transformed itself into something more 'holy' than i had ever dreamed for.

I am no longer hog-tied by any man-made doctrines.
But rather Set Free to instead, join Him 'only'
by the directive of His Own Heart
~ His Own Love, Wisdom, Living Word, and Light. ~
All of which was transported to us by His Only  Begotten Son 

Y'shua (Jesus) Himself; The Son of G-d is 'The Way'. Not 'religion' . . . nor . . . even the 'Bible' itself. . . At best, those things can only point to Him. When we discover Him - it's no longer profitable to cherish or 'dote on them' - why? Because that scenario will soon begin to cause us to do things that will dilute and interfere with the intended proposal of  'His own invisible yet authentic teaching and guidance' which our 'first love' looks forward to showing us and giving to us, Himself, instead.

The Gospel is the 'record' of that Holy combination of Yahshua's 'own' spoken words and the works of the Holy Ghost within Him - of whom He baptizes those who authentically believe in / and 'trust' Him -Those who follow 'Him'..

Have you ever noticed that when Yahshua referred to what Moses or the Prophets said;
He never quoted them out of an urgent need for a personal 'backup' or by book; chapter, and verse; (that wasn't his style); but rather spoke of what they said much more as it were, that He knew them  'face-to-face' and personally - 'one in/on one'; beforehand; ? We should be like 'Him'.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE

"Church attendance, Bible reading / understanding; and 'doctrine' acceptance"; are commonly accepted as the standards 

for evaluating a Christian’s spiritual qualities in the sight of 'religious' mortal men.
and are continually watched over by  'Big Brother'
 (the 'expressive' strongman)

 A relationship between 'you yourself ' and 'God Himself ' is something quite "different".  It is the 'New Covenant' which Our Father promised to put in our inward parts, 

( in our soul and in our spirit

 and spiritually write in/on our hearts )
And it is

 "Just like Our Father";

 ‘It is spirit and it is truth also.'

The 'Gospel' is the story of how Yahshua, Our  Messiah, 

(God's only  'begotten'  Son) 

 fulfilled making that 'New Covenant'  take effect and made it become known among mankind; both to and for the peoples on this earth.

 and 

Believing, trusting, and walking in "that New Covenant" are the "Standards" for

The descendants of Abraham  to be evaluated with, in the sight of our Father in Heaven.

 (  Yahshua's disciples were all Jews. Jesus instructed the disciple Peter to go to the Gentiles and preach and circulate (His Father's Promise) to them also. 
(and tell those who 'believed' to continue circulating that Good News as well)

That completed the promise so that all mortals who would accept the Gospel Story and trust in it could also be adopted; grafted in; and counted among those who could be approved by G-D. )

  The  'prescription for instruction'  of common, ordinary men, by G-d's own Spirit - with Power - 
instead of and rather than a 'mortal priesthood' ; 
to become 'approved' by G-d in God's New Covenant  was totally 'foreign' to the priesthood style of religious teaching of that day. In today's world, it still seems 'foreign' in style to those of the
 Religious Marketplace's middle-men.
Jesus, (Yahshua) baptizes with the Holy Ghost - and Power - rather than using the 'MarketPlace Religion's 'knowledge of good and evil' 
teaching and guidance (bottom line) traditions; 
and that is what this is 'all' about.

The purpose of this blog "Do a Solid with G-d" is to encourage

those who desire 'that'  "New Covenant Promise"; 'Trustworthy Proposal' from G-d Himself and desire to continually entertain it's virtue and to live for it's betrothal.

Concerning that 'mortal priesthood'; Do what they say; don't do what they do.

I'M JUST BELIEVING IN JESUS

That statement,   "I'm just believing in Jesus"  is generally speaking,  (almost always)  a statement that gives the impression that those who use it are really  "in control"  of their implied relationship with God.

When you ask those who use this method of   'I'm just Believing in Jesus'  to explain just exactly 'How' they go about doing that,  they usually stumble around trying to explain it, or come up with things that pretty much look the same as entertaining themselves with miscellaneous, yet similar Form & Ceremony doctrinal stuff, that 'Marketplace Religion Protocol' uses; yet still denies the  full and intended power of  G-D. . . or they turn to watching assorted 'religious marketplace'  television programming, reading and recommending  psuedo-podium religious books, or just gossiping or debating their views that are already pre-loaded from 'organized marketplace religion' with others, or debating their pre-loaded 'doctrines', rules and tenets from their prior church experience
(aka; the knowledge of Good and Evil 'Rules') 
on various 'religious' websites.
What's wrong with these things? . . . Truly, they just are not the same thing as being 'One'IN'One' with G-d . Period

What are the knowledge of good and evil rules?
(they are legitimate rules - but - are not rules G-d intended for 'man' 
to be 'driven by'. For 'man' they become 'fig leaf' rules;
 because they become the catalyst for 'guilt in our conscience'.
and it's 'self-defensive character'
We are rather to be a creation who is 'complete'  because 
'innocence'  by it's very nature;
is  the 'indwelling point of character' that  we desire to have shepherd us instead.)

 "Who told you that you were naked?" the LORD God asked. "Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?"
Those Rules!

Yahshua DOES NOT NEED  'a stamp of  APPROVAL'  FROM Any MORTAL WITH A 'TRADEMARKed' TITLE  'BRAND  NAME'  FROM THE 'RELIGIOUS MARKETPLACE' TO BACK HIM UP!

  BUT only
 Yahshua's' OWN Spoken WORDS, AND THE GOSPEL STORY ITSELF CIRCULATED BY THOSE WHO clearly TRUST IN 'JESUS' (HIMSELF). and THAT IS WHAT Yahshuas' spoken  WORDS 'ARE' ALL ABOUT, AND that is  WHAT THE 'GOSPEL STORY itself'  'IS'  ALL ABOUT. 

 THE WORDS that THE HOLY SPIRITs' 'power' CALLS TO OUR REMEMBRANCE ARE THE  'LIVING WORDS'  , THAT BRING TO LIGHT AND TEACH US PERSONALLY AND CONTINUALLY ABOUT HOW TO TALK WITH G-D, UNDERSTAND G-D, AND correctly RESPOND TO G-D.

 More simply put, (more often than not), those who use the  ' I'm just believing in Jesus'  statement  have a tendency that still leans toward gaining their personal teaching and guidance through  'mortals'  from the corners of the  'Religious Marketplace' ;  instead of trusting the teaching and guidance of the Holy Spirit in His 'New Covenant Proposal' instead;  which is really the 'real' purpose of the Gospel itself.

That 'real' purpose again is being restored to that "One'IN'One" intimate 'Betrothment in Innocence' which was specifically designed, particularly for us, and 'fitted' by G-d Himself.

They (again, generally speaking) don't really "Believe" 'IN' ; trust, or perceive in the "True" spiritual function of the Holy Spirit as their 'personal trainer'  -
 (our 'finishing school teacher') and they are not really being much more honest about it than those who stand behind the mortal designed, influential pulpits they 'think' they have left behind.

The 'gift' of the Holy Spirit is the 'seal' (a covering) of promise from our Bridegroom from the Kingdom of Heaven; Given to 'reflect' His 'Proposal'  from within our very 'soul'. as pure gold tried by fire.
Being aware of  the Adam'n'Eve look-alike plausibility we need to be sensitive to make sure our own sight doesn't become 'blurred' by not replacing that 
 'fig leaves covering' . . . just spit it out, pull the handle, and flush . . .
 . . . as needed . . .  
Replace it, instead with the sowing of G-d's Proposal within our soul; and  letting that 'betrothal covering'   grow from inside your 'soul'  to cover the outside of the 'soul' as well. The 'new wine' within it's veins will give you the 'wisdom' of how to wear it correctly so that 'golden' 'covering will always reflect the 'betrothal' of 'Yahshua' only; for 'those who truly believe'. .



i am not criticizing 'fellowship', but when it is used as the spiritual tool, for gaining the teaching and guidance from G-d, instead of getting their  'personal training' from the Holy Spirit - with Power - .
.  .  . it will always fall short.

The point being; they are still pretty much aimlessly, spiritually wandering, and they have heard others use the statement 'I'm just believing in Jesus', which seems to appease the crowd and they have simply adopted the use of it.

After all, on the outside, it seems like it might be a great idea.  But under that 'covering', the reality is probably closer to using the name of Jesus more like it is a  good luck charm to sway G-d's approval of them to the 'plus' side.

Being well aware of that 'midway', 'almost there', 'sincere' group of 'so close',
 'lay at the door' .  .  .  believers:

Yahshua spoke this. 
I really wish you were Hot or Cold.
But because you are not yet, Hot or Cold, but only Lukewarm, 

I am going to have
to spit you out of my mouth.


A 'weighty disappointment' will be the echoing  outcome - for all who are lukewarm - .
Don't be one of those who puts Yahshua up against that disturbing,  final decision

Truly 'repent' and understand Jesus' genuine purpose. 

A greater answer would be:

I HAVE GIVEN MYSELF TO YAHSHUA

"I belong to Yahshua Himself"
 "I'm letting Yahshua (Himself) teach me, (Himself)"!
The exact way that G-D intended
it to happen in His promise to us.

Why?

Because that is exactly what God (Himself) desires to do!
That is the Gospel

  'Yahshua is the Messiah'  who made this possible

Without accepting, understanding, and walking in this
promise from G-d  (The New Covenant) you honestly,
spiritually, before Our Father in Heaven, have no
 chance of actually pleasing G-d,
or receiving G-d's approval.

Yahshua spoke this:

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can 'you', except 'you' abide in me. I am the vine, 'you' are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me 'you' can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If 'you' abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

( a branch cannot abide in the 'vine' of Yahshua and mate with 'the tree branches' of 'religion' at the same time) Yahshua is the 'only' vine my branch abides in. i cannot compromise it by mating in the 'tree branches' of 'religion'; or the 'tree branches' of the knowledge of good and evil (laws); or the 'tree branches' of 'doctrines of formality' authored by man -  at the same time.

 . . . Because that action of 'pasturing' yourself from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil' (rules) - Instead of 'Yashua's Baptism, itself. . .

  'Will spoil' how G-d's 'unrivaled purpose' for 'you' really is supposed to happen  . . . It will eventually cause you to leave your 'First Love'.

P.S. A branch just 'cannot' abide in another 'branch' and accomplish what G-d's greater 'virtue' really is..
 (each branch itself must abide only in the 'vine' itself in 'heart', 'soul' and 'spirit')

Yes,

Our Father really does want to teach 
. . .'you' . . . 'yourself' . . ."Himself"

Straight is the gate, and narrow is 'the way' that leads to eternal life;
and  'few' be there who find it.

God Says

Our Father said :

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; . .
' I '  will put 'My' law (my Rules) ( my own understanding)  ( it's the same law that ' He' gave to Moses , except it's the ' Spirit of the Law version ' instead of the ' Letter of the law version') in THEIR inward parts, (Their soul and their spirit) and write it in THEIR hearts; and will be THEIR God, and THEY shall be my people.
 And 'THEY' shall 'TEACH NO MORE'  every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for THEY shall ALL know me,
 from the least of THEM to the greatest of THEM, said the LORD: for I will forgive their THEIR iniquity, 
'and'
 I will remember THEIR sins no more.

This is G-d Himself speaking of 'His' Promise to restore that 'one'IN'one'  intimate marriage proposal brand of relationship between us and 'Him' that we forfeited in the 'fall of man'.

( This is what the new covenant is all about ! )
Yahshua made it so that 'you' are no longer 'bridled' to what some human rationalizes about what they think G-d means by something that is just only written on paper ! 

Think of it more like it's "A Gentleman's, Word of Honor style of Agreement" with G-d,
 instead of a bible lecture deposition kind of relationship !


 'You' are no longer 'bridled' by what humans Teach about God; other than the Actual Gospel Story Itself !

And this is what 'Repent' points to: ' Cut off ' and Drop " the religion" stuff, and it's bible thumping clergy 'doctrine' - 'rule' stuff and lay it before Yahshua's feet. Replace that 'stuff' with the Promise that Yahshua spoke of and baptized with; by His Works of God - (His Father)  .
 . . .Your 'iniquity' will be forgiven when you do so. in addition to that; your 'sins' will be remembered 'no more'. by G-d Himself. . . selah 
 . . .
And continue staying away from the 'doctrines' and 'rules of religion'. Those things are nothing more than 'germination' from the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil (rules). We are not supposed to boogie-dance with that stuff.

The Holy Spirit. ["G-d's own Spirit"] \ 'The Breath of Yahshua teaches 'You' the rest of all things, and recalls what 'He Himself' says, to 'You' personally !

 The Messiah
The Son of God, (Yahshua) is the One who made this effective.

He accomplished it thru the works He did right here on planet earth.
His opening words " Repent - The Kingdom of Heaven 'is' at Hand.
and
His Life, Crucifixion, Raising from the dead, and asking our "Father"
to send the Holy Ghost (with Power) to those who believe -
Is the finished work of the Actual Gospel Story itself !
and How God's "new covenant" was delivered.


It became public by the spreading of this ' Good News' by His Disciples.
That 'Good News' continues to be circulated publicly today by
'Those' who clearly believe (trust and respect) The Gospel Story .

Yashua had prayed for the disciples and prayed that even as Yahshua and the Father were 'one' that the disciples would also become 'one' with them.
And Yahshua continued praying and said:

"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art 'IN' me, and I 'IN' thee, that they also may be one 'IN' us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

~ Jesus (Yahshua) , after His resurrection said ~
 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel, and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost".

Since "Our Father" says "He" has written His Law in our hearts, and we 'say' we believe in Yahshua.
 . . . then . . .

why don't we just circumcise our hearts, and look and see what "He" wrote in our hearts, ourselves!
instead of reading, re-reading and memorizing it out of a book made of paper, or listening to what some ' Trademarked 'Titled ' Brand Named ' mortal teaches according to what he only endlessly reads, studies and memorizes that is written in various books made out of mere paper!

Our Messiah, Yahshua, called the ones who endlessly studied written words on scrolls, memorizing them and then ' Continuously taught ' men about their opinion of what they fully must be understood to mean 
-
Snakes, serpents, and scorpions

and said of them that their father was the devil.

Yahshua also said about them:
. . . hypocrites . . .
 . . .For you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, one follower, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than you yourselves . . .


Yahshua said-
"These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is pointless, because their teachings are rules made by humans.('man made gimmics; contraptions; called 'doctrines' )


Simply put, - do you "trust" and "respect" Yahshua's New Covenant Promise itself? or are you just 'religiously' using Yahshua Himself more like a good luck charm trying to sway G-d's admiration of you, regarding His acceptance of You .

Thru the eyes of a child

Thru the eyes of a little child

i'm not very old but i Do know some stuff .

There are lots of neighborS around here that knew my dad lots of years before i was even born. My dAd is alive and lives at my hOuse. i talk to hiM every day.

 if i need to find out something about my dad i don't go to the house next door or down the street and ask them about my dad or my mom or what they think my mom or dad want  me to do. i only have to ask them myself. My dad always gives me a good answer so i can sleep good.

 Once i asked my dAd about yahShua. my dad told me i should trust YahShua the same way i trust him and my mom. that makes me have good dreams.

i trUst YahShua and my dAd and my moM

(Ps . . i dont go to PTA meetings and ask the tEacherS or other parents what my mom or daD think either.)

Ask 'your' Father in Heaven to 'connect the dots' for you the same way 'He' 'connects the dots' for
Innocent children.    selah


Pray like an innocent child. They hear back from God much easier than those whose thoughts are muddled and clogged up with 'religious' stuff.

Truly I tell you,

 unless you change and become like little children,

 you will never enter the kingdom of heaven
and
whoever becomes like a little child
is the "greatest" in the Kingdom of Heaven!

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea."

See that 'you' don’t look down on one of these little ones, because I tell you that in heaven their angels continually view the face of My Father in heaven

Have 'you' never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Holy Integrity

There are about 7 billion people on this planet. Most, have a difficult time walking in continual integrity with  " any consistency" for to long;  a few do have some integrity others can trust in, - But - does anyone have any wholesome  "Holy Integrity" ? ;   the kind you can stand in front of G-d, our Father in Heaven 'Himself ' with ? 

  Not just to pray and talk to 'Him'

But

To also have G-d Himself talk back to YOU ?

Yes, i know, no one is worthy of this by his own works himself ; no not one; and that Jesus (Yahshua) is the door!

When that 'door' is opened; The Holy Spirit - with Power - (rapid as electricity) is on the other side.

And it  IS NOT  a 'religion' !  .  .  . It's just G-D's' Unquestionable Promise'.

 Jesus, (Yahshua)  also says,

How can 'you' say 'you' love (respect and  totally trust)  me when 'you' don't do the things

" I say"  

What does Yahshua, (Himself)  "say" about the Holy Spirit - with Power ?

... "So I tell 'you',  every  sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, 

except  Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit,

 which will never be forgiven ... 

neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.

As for 'you', the anointing which 'you' received from 'Him' remains in 'you', and 'you' don't need for anyone to Teach 'you'. But as His anointing Teaches 'you' concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught 'you'; 'you' will remain in him. 

 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall Teach 'you' all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto 'you'.

Call no man rabbi (teacher) for 'you' only have One Teacher !

Has anyone got enough 'Holy Integrity ' to accept what Yahshua said to you about this, or are you just continually so full of doubt about really 'respecting',  and 'trusting'  Yahshua (Himself) that 'you' always 'feel the need'  to go to ecclesiastical  mortal men to be taught and comforted by them; instead of the Holy Spirit?

Why don't  'YOU'  just do  (respect and trust)  what  Yahshua  Says !

Our  'Father'  (Himself)  'SAID ' :

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; 

 'I ' will put 'My' law (MY Rules) (My own UNDERSTANDING)  (it's the same law that ' He ' gave  to Moses , except it's the 'Spirit of the Law version '  instead of the   'Letter of the law version'  )
  in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

 And THEY shall Teach No More every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for THEY shall ALL know me,

 from the least of THEM to the greatest of THEM, said the LORD: for I will forgive THEIR iniquity,
'and' 
I will remember THEIR sins no more. 

It's G-d's Promise to 'you' to be restored to being 'One'IN'One' with Him again.

Think of it more like it's "A Gentleman's, Word of Honor style of Agreement" with G-d,
 instead of a bible lecture deposition kind of relationship !

 -And so Again -

Why is it 'greater' to perceive it more like it's  a 'Gentleman's Word of Honor style of Agreement with 'G-d' Himself ?
Because that is what turns it into an 'unquestionable' and 'heart-felt' promise: a promise that is sealed by mutual 'respect' and 'trust' . . . Between 'you' and 'G-d Himself ' . . . unlike a religious courtroom 'paper contract attitude' that is frankly 'cold-hearted': made dependable only because of the possibility of 'mistrust' regardless of 'respect', or 'dignity', and usually carries kind of a 'whiff' of 'disdain' and contemptuous 'uncertainty'.

Address it as 'Holy Integrity' !

Cut out the middle men  : The 'Religious Marketplace' brokers

( and spit out  'all' those heated, prickly, doctrine briers  [yes, all of them]  they have put in your mouth that want to stick in your lips, then you'll be able to start fresh with G-d)

These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is pointless, because their teachings are rules made by humans. (religious man-devised gimmicks ; contraptions - called 'doctrines' )

 The only 'exception' is the Actual Gospel Story itself !

The Holy Ghost Does not function as a  'Clergy Picker' , but rather functions 'in Power' by Indwelling, Teaching and Guiding 'those' who clearly 
(Trust and Respect)
Believe 'IN'  / 'ON' God's only 'begotten' Son!

 This is what the new covenant is all about !  
Yahshua made it so that 'you' are  no longer  'bridled' to what ecclesiastical mortals relentlessly rationalize about G-d ; based on something that is 'only just' written on paper ! 

  'You' are no longer bridled by what humans Teach about God; other than the Actual  Gospel Story itself!

The Holy Spirit  - 'G-d's own Spirit' \ 'The Breath of Yahshua'  
 Teaches us the rest of all things, and recalls what  'Yahshua' Himself' 
says, to  us . . . 'personally' ! 

We are to preach (circulate) the Gospel Story, what is the Gospel?
It's the greatest story ever told; the story of how God provided redemption for those who would receive it.
The simplest review about it is:
 For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever 'Believed'IN'Him' would receive eternal life. God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. Those who 'Believe'IN'Him' won't be condemned. But those who Don't Believe are already condemned because they Don't Believe 'IN' God's only Son. That is why people are condemned:
