THE RELIGION OF RELIGION part 3
The word for Religion in Latin is religare, which means to bind. God wants us free. Free indeed!
THE RELIGION OF RELIGION part 2
Religion requires repetitiveness, wear this, pray this, say that, do this, etc., etc., etc.
God says only, Come unto me all who are tired (tired of) and I will give you rest.
THE RELIGION OF RELIGION part 1
Its estimated that some 83% of the 7.3 billion global population aspire to some form of institutionalized system of Religion. But what is Religion, when did it begin, what is its purpose?
PERPETUAL COGNITIVE CURIOSITY
Is a thirst for knowledge healthy or unhealthy for us? Why do we thirst for it?.
IS THE BIBLE HOLY?
Is the Bible really a true Holy book, containing a collection of Gods words? Should it be considered Holy, which means to be exalted and worthy of our complete attention and devotion?
IS GOD TENABLE?
Just remember, when considering this question, be sure to differentiate between God and Religion. Many people get them confused. They are not synonymous.
NO FAITH IN FAITH
Faith should be viewed more like a relationship than a means to get something. God is not a Genie.
ANAEROBIC ALLEGIANCE
We expect results without exercising our faith. But as previously stated, God told us that having faith without working it out will yield no return.
CARDIOSALVATION
When we believe something in our minds it is comprised of thoughts and ideals that we hope are factual.
JESUS CARRIED OUR SORROWS TO VICTORY
Isaiah was the first person that God gave a glimpse of the soon coming Messiah. But it was not at all what people had been expecting. Jesus was average, not special at all, naturally.
A REIMPOSED BLESSING
A Reimposed Blessing is a Blessing that was given to us in our past, but considering all of today’s challenges, we will have to force it back into our lives, to be accepted and put in place, for it to operate as the truth, like it was originally intended by God.
A PARADIGMATIC CONVERSION
If you are tired of getting what you’ve been getting, Then, you need to change what you’ve been doing.
Change, what you do, then you will Change what you get.
Keep doing what you’ve been doing, Then, you will keep getting what you’ve been getting.
KNOWING AND THEN LEARNING
Some seem to believe that one can learn, all there is to learn about a thing, and once that happens you now have become an expert in that area.
That line of thinking suggests that there are boundaries and limitations to our capacity for learning. That would be incorrect.
