Christian Readers discussion

In my experience Christians just want feel-good messages. They do not want to know the truth, even though the Bible declares; You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. So we shut ourselves up inside of our bubble. Truth is what we make not what we receive. I have been in the ministry for well over 20 years and I can tell you that most preachers I know I would not believe if their tongue came notarized. I have seen long-established doctrine kicked out of the church. Preachers getting soft, caring more about their wallets than their congregations, worry more about offending people than helping them to come to Christ and be saved. Churches fighting turf wars while souls perish. I might be old fashion but I am walking the old paths. The path of righteousness and holiness. I still believe there is a way that seems right unto a man but the end is death. I want to share my experiences with you and provide a look at what goes on behind the scenes in many churches. I hope you will take the time to read my new book, Climbing The Tree of Knowledge. https://www.createspace.com/7432407

Climbing the Tree of Knowledge

Sounds very interesting.

1 Bud, what you say is true I don't attend any church or a member of any religious organization, and I can't agree on the workability of, "the path of righteousness and holiness." Every thing about God is literal and physical substance in some way, why would He change for salvation or redemption. The pharisees were religious but Jesus said we have to exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. St Matthew 5:20 If it worked for them why did Jesus have to die on the cross?

Born again is physical and I saw a blob just before it entered my mouth that was the Holy Ghost, and it was the same way Jesus received it in the mouth when He was baptized by John. It never lighting on Him as it reads but went in His mouth. The born again experience that explanation is found in Ezekiel 36 26-25-27 I couldn't write it any plainer. My nonfiction book is the same place as your's with the number 4612897 "Mutton's Decadence"
My heart was removed and replaced by God to get my body clean for the Holy Ghost to enter 30 days later Verse 25

Then you are a part of the solution, not the problem. Check out my book Misquoting Logic What Bart Ehrman Forgot To Tell You About The Coming Apocalypse And You Place In It by Chris Queen.

Bud check out my review of The Great Meaning of Metanoia An Undeveloped Chapter in The Teaching of Chris. The type of thing you are talking about.

St Matthew 13:11"---it is given (have you received) unto you to know the mysteries (the parables and allegorical speach) of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. In every religion that I know of, they believe also they have the truth. They are dieing for 72 virgins, reincarnation, purgatory, The acts 2:38, and St John 3:16 just kickback and believe which is spread throught out the entire earth I call it the missionary verse.

Soon I'll remove you from this group Mickey. But for now: it's just too funny to have you here.
