no bushbasher it was not directed at anyone in paticular just a revelation I got last night in my quiet time with the Lord

Why scripture puzzles most Christians.

1. The OT is a one sided view of history written by man. It contains atrocities committed in God's name and presents unintelligent laws as being from God. It is an insult to an intelligent God!

2. The Gospels are what Christianity should be based on. Jesus=Christ=Christian=Follower of Christ's explicit teachings. However, these also contain some troubling passages for Christians. Luke 19 11-27

3. From the ACTS on these are man's interpretations (often wrong) of Jesus' teachings. Churches tend to be Paul based rather than Jesus based! 1 Timothy 11-12 - Paul oppressing an entire gender (women)!

So Jesus said Matthew 7 - Do not judge others...not even homosexuals! The instruction is unequivocal! But Christians love homosexual bashing and judging!

1 John 4 1-3 explains how to tell a good or false spirit. This was allegedly written by John the Evangilist around 100AD. It is too simplistic to be inspired by an intelligent God.

To fool this test "acknowledge Jesus Christ came as a human being, has the spirit and comes from God", then he is believed and can do any manner of evil things disguised by his false admission of his love for God.

This test is ludicrous.

Discerning all spirits is an interesting concept, except Christians don't seem to be doing it, seeing the alleged crimes that have gone on in Religious organisations.

If this discernment comes from the Holy Spirit then the Holy Spirit is failing badly.

So if God allegedly gives his followers this gift do they insult him by not using it?

1 John 4 is a clear warning from a man (John) to watch out for false spirits!

The problem is that with the obvious lack of discernment by many, if not most of his followers, evil seems to thrive and in Jesus' own alleged religions especially!

Is it discernment to report a crime? Then why don't Christian organisations do it?

If church leaders don't report crimes - is that evil?

If your religion has not reported a crime is attending poor discernment?

Being a Christian has obligations!
