God
God is a name that every culture, race and language have known in some kind of way and that is worshiped in some form or another . There are over 6 billion people in the world and all have a different view of God. Arabic call him Allah, Latinate call him Deus, Hebrew El, Judaism Yahweh. Many have there own thought about God existence, in their quest to prove or disprove God existence. From the beginning of time knowing God have been the focus point of religious and personal growth. The Bible say "God is a spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" There are many places of worship around the world teaching a specific view of Gods law. Which raises the question, why are we more confused today than we were 50 years ago?
Denomination
Denomination often form slowly over time for many reasons. Due to historical accidents of geography, culture and influence between different groups, members of a given religion slowly begin to diverge in their views. Catholicism is the largest in the world with just over half of Christians in the world. Protestant comprised of 40% worldwide. Angelicans comprised of the rest of the total Christian population. The teachings of the christian faith is about faith in God, his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Millions observe the teaching of Christ, or do they?Did God create the church or denomination? In order to understand God, one must look at the teaching of Jesus Christ and his disciples. Confusion have gripped the world over God, because the teachings of the church have not been taught in the way that pleases God. There are more churches being built in our time,more TV evangelism across the world than any other time in our history. Why then are so many people confused? Because knowing God has nothing to do with the denomination you may belong to. Many churches are fighting over who's right and who's wrong when in reality we are all wrong.Jesus said that all men will know that you are my disciple is by having love one to another.
What is important in our eyes is not really important to God at all. The rules and regulations of the church today have made it nearly impossible for those who want to know God to come to him. The truth is that there are no rules with Gods love. His love is for you no matter who you are or where you are. If your a drug addict, Gods love is there, if your are an alcoholic, Gods love is there, if you are a convict Gods love is there, if your homeless, his love is there.
God is the head
Pastors are not the head of the church,the pope is no closer to God than a little child. The bishop is not the head,only God, and its your faith that will lead you to him. Why are so many churches built, but so many lives torn down? Because Jesus Didn't preach what our leaders are preaching today. Today we are told that if we give our money we will get a blessing. That is making people think that God wants your money, I must tell you that nothing can never be further than the truth. God has made everything in the universe by his own hand. He needs nothing from us but our faith only. When we believe and have faith, anything is possible.
Its a good thing to know the truth,because the truth shall make you free. Being free to know God is the ultimate truth of all endeavors. Here are some list of things that you might have heard from some church leaders that are against what Jesus Christ has taught:
- 1. You can not go to God with out the preacher.
- 2. You have to give your tithes and offerings to the church,not to help others.
- 3. You have to sow seed(give money) to get a blessing from God.
- 4. It is wrong to visit other churches.
- 5. You have to be baptized in water in order to go to heaven.
- 6. God does not hear a sinners prayer.
Here are some answers that might help clear a little confusion on the above statements.
- #1. Its false for anyone to say that you must go through a preacher to know God. The reason why Jesus came in the first place is to connect us to God. To bring back that fellowship between God and man, and to insure his love for us in our daily walk with him. Communion is not just eating crackers and juice,but its having a personal relationship with him.
- #2. Is false because so many people have been robbed by this false statement. How? Because when God said in the scriptures (Mal:chpt.3:8) "Will a man rob God" he was not talking to the people, he was talking to the priest in those days.They were not distributing the wealth to Gods people.They were keeping it for them selves.(sounds familiar?) The priest were robbing God, and how do you rob God that need nothing? By robbing him of souls. I will explain, when a man come to a church to get help for his family, and the leaders put on him rules and regulations in order for him to get help. That man will more than likely turn away from the church and look elsewhere, and therefore have a negative view on what God is like. You have just robbed God of a soul.
- #3.I remember when Jesus told the parable of the sower and the seed(Mark4:14) he never said that money was the seed, he said that the seed is the word of God.
- #4. John the baptist baptized men in water,but when Jesus came he baptized with the Holy Ghost. Don't get me wrong, I believe that baptism is good,but do not make baptism another form of religion,because God look at a person heart, not what water they were baptized in. (Luke 3:16)
- #5. If you were to look very closely into the scriptures you will see that it was the scribes and pharisees that made this statement, not God. (John9:31)
So please always trust God and ask him for wisdom,knowledge,and understanding. Find someone that will tell you the truth.God desires for all mankind to know him.
- You Can Save Your Christian Marriage!
Did you know that the rate of divorce among Christians is actually HIGHER than the general population? I cant begin to tell you how surprised I was to hear this! We are a people called to be faithful, to be forgiving, to be loving. .
