Re: ok! real christianity -

Observer,

Paul said that he decided to make the personal decision to know nothing about devotion except Christ and Him crucified. I think that is the wisest decision for everybody in these modern times (instead of getting distracted by theology, etc.).

The bible is actually the "DOCTRINE OF CHRIST" (yes, I am saying that all of humanity has ALWAYS been wrong) and that after being "trained" by it as "babes in Christ, men of the FLESH", we should LEAVE it so that it has no more HOLD on us (t is wise to continue to use it as a REFERENCE for additional wisdom and understanding of God and His ways, but we should not let it have any HOLD ON US), and then we should move on to a more mature relationship/devotion.

"Therefore let us LEAVE the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity" (Hebrews 6:1).

The "bible" (the word "bible" is simply man's chosen designation for SCRIPTURE but the word is not found in scripture) has always been taught as being "the FINAL authority", but it didn't suffer on the cross or shed water and blood (it should not be loved either) and so is NOT an authority at all...

Jesus said (Matthew 28:18)...
"ALL AUTHORITY in heaven and earth has been given to me".


"But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men OF THE FLESH, as babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1).

"All SCRIPTURE is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for TRAINING"(1 Corinthians 3:1).

Titus 2:12
"training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions"


Since mankind has always had false/insincere motives (money, pride), mankind/humanity has always taught that scripture is the "word of God" and that scripture is an authority.

Jesus said that we should "spread the GOSPEL" (not the whole bible), meaning that we should simply make people AWARE of the good news of His coming and purification so that by acceptance of Him as savior we could return to Him (there's a reason He did not say "preach the bible" and all it's crushing condemnation of sin).

In ancient times when LAW was a part of Godly devotion, the concept of "sin" was a valid consideration in being spiritual to God, but now that we are under grace because the power/penalties of sin have been destroyed, there really is no Godly SPIRITUAL concept called "SIN"...

Romans 3:20
"since through the law comes knowledge of sin".

There is of course an ACADEMIC understanding of the concept of sin, but to anyone who truly/sincerely knows God (the "true worshipper", John 4:23), the GODLY SPIRITUAL concept of "sin" is irrelevant/non-existant (I'm not talking about mankind's version of "SPIRITUAL"...666).

Mankind (6th day creation) has always redefined the 3 aspects of God in order to claim responsibility for what only God could freely and gracously GIVE to humanity (3 sixes,... WE/humanity are 666). We want to CREATE our own world/lifestyle, we want to be our own savior through ACCOMPLISHMENTS and deeds/work, we want to author spirituality (MAN'S version of "spiritual").

I have little doubt that your lifestyle is one of righteousness, but you haven't simply rejected mammon and the false teachings of man, you've "run to the arms of another" with this "Wicca"/Shaman stuff. The Lord is a JEALOUS God. He will give you time to repent of finding solace in an entity/kingdom other than Him (although time is short, look at the condition of the world), but you will continue to have the "strong delusion" (and then some) until you do repent of that infidelity (He is a JEALOUS GOD,...I feel an OBLIGATION to post this, not a simple need).
