Jesus Christ is real. He is not fable, he is not a fiction, and He is not a tradition. The Message (Gospels) are not mythos, they the very truth of God! Jesus is not just a teacher, He is not merely a prophet. Jesus is the Son of God and God Himself! (Colossians 2:9, Ephesians 3:19).
I grow weary of what I am watching in Body. Believers treat their Lord like He is legend when our Lord is Life! Jesus is not a lifestyle, He is Alive! The things I am beholding, the falling away, the false philosophies posing as Christianity are astounding! People claim to be Christ followers and then act like He didn't rise from the Dead! Its appalling and frankly not surprising.
These are false christs Jesus Christ warned about. He said, "In those days there will be many false christs and false prophets. And if anyone says come to this place in desert or to this inner room and claims he is here, do not go and do not believe them, for surely as lightning flashes from east to west, so shall the return of the son of Man." (Matthew 24:24-26).
The false christs are not only those in the Mormon Church (Church of Latter Day Saints), Islam, Jehovah Witnesses, Buddhism, and so forth. It is the heresies and deviations of true Gospel doctrine as found in the Holy Bible. It is any Christ that contradicts what is spelled out in the New Testament Synoptic Gospels, Epistles, Letters, and Revelation. Jesus is real, He exists, He came, lived, ministered, did miracles, was betrayed, tortured, crucified, raised from the dead, witnessed for forty days, ascended into Heaven, and will Return. Our Lord and God is not some tradition or story, He is alive and dwells in those who believe in Him and those who believe and commune with Him dwell in Him. (1 John 4:13).
Liberal Theology is Luciferian (Satanic) creation and it is deceiving many. Christ is not a concept, a class, or character developing teacher. He is God, He lives and is present everywhere. Our Lord is with all who earnestly believe, trust, and love Him. But I fear that many have lost the reality of Christ. The false doctrines of demons being fed to many these days that Jesus was leading of lifestyle movement or legendary prophet are infecting the church and unbelievers. Jesus is the Christ, Son of God, The Bridegroom, Messiah, and God incarnate (in bodily form). He is as real as you and I, as real as what we touch, see, taste,, but even more so!
My heart is sick with seeing the saints bring into their homes other gods (gins, evil spirits). Trojan horses of our enemy the devil are coming into our dens in form of Marvel's Superhero epics like the Avengers: Age of Ultron and many more. Believers say, "its just fantasy, Thor is an alien, not the Norse deity." And yet he is dressed, carries the hammer, and so forth just like the false god of the Nordic peoples. Christian brothers and sisters shout, "it cannot harm us! Its pop culture, we need to know it." Really? Christianity has always been counter-culture.
Why isn't Jesus enough? Why do people think they must indulge in stories, tales, fables, legends, and fantasy that bring false gods into their lives? Why can't the reality of Christ be enough? The early believers the Apostles themselves gave everything up to follow Jesus and now the 21 Century Christian in America and in many places around the globe complain about having to give up anything for Christ. We are called to be different. We are called to stand apart from this world. But some argue, "we have to know pop-culture to reach the lost!" Really? Do you have to taste poison to tell people to stay away from it and eat something safe?
I know the labels that come from such language that I use. I imagine the words, "legalist," "religious zealot," "fundamentalist" and "killjoy" are among them. But take a look at this verse, "choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God then enjoy the passing pleasures of sin." (Hebrews 11;25). We don't need to indulge in the passing pleasures of sin to reach sinners! We are to be set apart, a holy nation, a city on hill! (Matthew 5:14). People are suppose to look at us and see a difference! One of those differences should be abstaining from what is evil and not of our faith in Jesus Christ!
Jesus is real, tangible, touchable, and the Truth! He is not a list of rules, religious tradition, a lifestyle, or legend. He is God in the flesh and He is waiting to dwell in any who believe in Him! So pray this prayer if you haven't receive Jesus Christ as your Lord, Savior, and God! "Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins, I have wronged you and people, I deserve death and hell, but you took my place and was propitiation for me; you took my sin and the wrath of God upon yourself and give me righteousness in exchange upon believing in you. Please forgive me, and come into my heart, life, and make me born again. And I will follow you all the days of my life. Amen." If you prayed this, welcome to the family! I suggest you get a Bible, preferable NASB (1970 version if possible) or ESV (English Standard Version). If you want a more readable version get The Living Bible (its a paraphrase) or the NIV (New Living Bible). But the NASB and ESV are more accurate to what was actually said by Jesus (Word for Word translations). Study the Word and learn about God's character and His love and how to know Him more. Start in the Gospel of John. I then recommend you get baptized in the Holy Spirit and Baptized in Water. I recommend you find a Bible based Church for starters, preferably a Bible Study or House Church.
