Christianity is a Hellish religion

[Jock]

I just spent my whole evening listening to half wits discussing eternal conscious torment and it brings me to believe that this religion that men have created is nothing more than a construct and is used to bring confusion, guilt, fear and a foreboding expectation of something horrific on the other side of the grave.

I feel pretty wiped out. There were a couple of refreshing places like Gerry Beauchmin on "Hope beyond Hell" and one by his daughter Nicole who is very sweet.

Then I watched Gary Amirault on "Faith under Fire" I was with him all the way. That religion sickens me but I know that God is calling many out, as he did with me.

Thank you Father :dsunny:

Jesus never said it was easy.  :sigh:   I feel for you.

Mat 13:44   "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

But the way you hear many evangelists speak, you swear you can pick it up any 5 and dime store.

The simple fact is that one has to almost hit rock bottom before he has nothing else to do but look up.

Most Christianity today has lost that.

Another very unorthodox view.....

Did Jesus really start Christianity?
In the early days after His death His followers called themselves "Followers of the way" or something similar.
They considered themselves Jews. They even went to the weekly Sabbath service in a synagogue. Later they got banned because the leaders got a bit fed up with them constantly injecting Jesus' teachings into discussions. But that's anothe story.

Where the early Jews called Mosenites? Jobians or Estherians? Was Job more Jew than Moses and less than Malachi?
They all were followers of a big fat book that took 1000's or years to write. I see Jesus as yet another writer of a few books. Sure the most high of all of them (combined) but still I think it is all progressive.


Christianity was political choice. Romans hunted down Jews so Christians had to be different. Later there was great influx of pagan stuff. It almost killed the whole Bible. We know it as ET. As I wrote above I don't really think Christianity  exists or should exit. But I can accept people name it that way to honor Jesus (I doubt He agrees).
That's my view and no hard feelings to people calling themselves Christians. But I simply refuse to acknowledge ET as Christian. It's so perverted I don't want their black label stuck on me.... :sigh:

Some cool things to consider there WW. I have to check my heart often so as not to hate those who preach ET, but I DO hate that doctrine.

The doctrine of Hell scared a lot of people and helped nobody. Folks are just taught the doctrines of devils.

Can't say with 100% certainty but "way" can have a deep meaning.

Every bit of information has 4 levels. Covenant is one of them.
It also has a meaning similar to: "Put in the past the path that destroys/devours"
So covenant = Don't follow satan.

Could covenant be the narrow road and the non-covenat the wide road.
Obviously Jesus was the covenant road.
