No Apologist

I am NOT an apologist for the true path and hope never to be politically correct.

Puritan - Christian? Please Do Not confuse the two. Today's Puritans / Legalist / Christian and Baptist Heretics have carried the Christian label since their inception. However..., Today's Puritan Is Not The Same Thing As A Christian! A Christian is a sinner, saved through God's Grace in Christ, "trying" to follow in Jesus footsteps as best he or she is capable. A Puritan teaches that if you do things his or her way you will be perfect just like them. I do not like nor have tolerance for Puritans / Legalist / Christian Heretics. These modern day Pharisees have abused and dishonored the name, "Christian".

Christian this, Christian that, our Christian school, better not do that people might think we are not Christians, people do not seem to like us when we talk about Christ, bla, bla, bla dogma. They give me such nausea. Their dogma conversations about Christ and how perfect they are, are not the examples Christ gave in his life. Many hearts mean well but they are following blind leadership and with their heads in the sand, or up their butt.

Every second of our life, good and bad, that is our witness. A good and true witness for Christ understands the Great Commission and the examples Christ supplied. This witness allows people they meet to tell about themselves and allows that person the opportunity to "get to know", and hopefully appreciate you.

A good and true Stand-Up Christian Does Not Go Around beating people over the head, force witnessing, ("claiming" the work of the Holy Spirit), which creates the potential for a hardened heart, and running most away from the desperately needed gospel of Christ.

A good and true Stand-Up Christian Does pay attention to the Holy Spirit and His desires, (A process that comes with prayer, study, time, and experience), and makes a verbal witness only when the Holy Spirit opens a door.

In the New Testament examples of the witness program of Jesus, ALL doors were opened by the person seeking Christ. Christ never beat anyone over the head to hear him and never used clever in-lines to flank anyone. When you force witness to people they will tell you anything to get away from you and usually run away with resentment and a hardening heart. It is my opinion that greater than 90% of those in Church today would not know the Holy Spirit if He came and bit them on their big overweight butt. My opinion is supported by:

The annual number of Church openings verses the annual number of Church closings for decades
The continual reduction of the knowledge by the mass population of the teachings of Christ
Power church's requiring individuals in their community who come asking for help to acknowledge Christ and become a member of that church Before supplying any help to that one in need.
1. While at the same time giving great gifts between themselves inside their selective country club.
2. Then others split off and create their own private little religious club.
3. The cult like mentality they continue to develop using people who are followers and not leaders, turning them first into prudes and then into Puritans, Legalist, Christian Heretics.
4. They jump on movies that show any flesh and stand beside actors who portray hero's in the slaughter and mayhem of others.
  1. Focus on any movies that show "fornication". "sex", and "skin" claiming these as the downfall of our nation.
  2. Ignore all movies, video games, and real life that show murder, assault, mayhem, bullies unless referencing them with a "manly" pride.
  3. Some just do not know any better. They have been programmed.
The massive number of church splits. It looks like their are really more people going to church but in reality none of these Puritans / Legalist / Christian and Baptist Heretics, Pharisees, (all disgusting people) can get along with each other.
The increasing contempt, nationally and world wide, for anything that references Jesus Christ or Christian

In Christ's "Great Commission" He told His followers to go out and tell the world. Then Christ gave them His examples of telling the world in the books of the apostles. Christ listened to people with care and healed their needs. None of these examples included building single power house churches or beating people over the head.

I have heard many a pastor and his board of deacons make comments that the pastor has to "surround" himself with the "right" people. I remember that in the Bible the Pharisees also had this practice. I've got it, Let's train our blind congregation of followers into a cult!

Also on a regular basis I hear comments coming from other tables in different restaurants including, "Our church must be run like a business to succeed". I've got it, Let's train our blind congregation of followers into a cult!

In the Bible Christ lived, ate, and socialized among the people, the lowly "sinners". Christ lived among everyone from those labeled as *half breeds, to those who told little white lies, big lies, the addicted, divorcees, prostitutes, thieves, and murders, basically, all those listed in the book of Romans chapter 1. He never condoned any actions of sin but He healed them, feed them, and then offered them the opportunity to live out their eternal life with Him in Heaven, if they would Believe in Him and Follow Him.

*Note: The term "Half breed" does not imply sinner. Example: The Samaritan woman at the well; Samaritans were half breeds, outcast and shunned by both the Egyptians and Jews.

In the Bible the Pharisees, Legalist, and Money Changers are the only ones who ever brought Christ to great anger. Christ did not socialize with or live among the Pharisees, Legalist, or Money Changers.

Christ tells us to give praise in ALL things, good or bad.

But, If you are going through a dark place in your life, have been attacked by the devil, or something else, and the people inside the church you are attending, or someone you have confided, only offers you comfort in passing comments like, "Isn't God good?, Find another Church and or friends!

Most people do not need therapy, they need friends just to talk to who will listen. And after a while, if the friends tell you to shut up, listen. Lift your chin, spread your chest, and get on with life.
