Has Christianity ‘missed the mark’…. and become fragmented, confused, dumbed down, and mentally bound?

When I woke up this morning, it was crystal clear in my own mind ‘how’ and ‘why’ much of traditional Christianity has become so totally fragmented, confused, dumbed down, and mentally bound!

Our understanding has become twisted by a ‘potpourri’ of blatant ‘errors in translation’ and miss-application, as for instance, certain words such as ‘eternal’ and so called ‘hell’!

Our capacity to reason has become paralyzed and  ’trapped’ in  a  mixture and mashing together of inappropriate ‘Old Testament’ based dogma, and erroneous ‘End of the World’ theology, based on the fallacious interpretation of certain of the teachings of Jesus, His Apostles and specifically the Book of Revelation!

Combined with that the fact, that the average modern Christian’s understanding of the Gospel is tightly wound around a ‘selfish’ man- centred ‘gospel’ and an ’egotistical’ religion. Man made doctrines that revolve mostly around going to ‘heaven and escaping hell’ and ‘what’ Jesus and God ‘has done’ and ‘can do’ to further ‘bless me’!

Sadly, it literally seems to take a miracle the set the average Christians  mind free enough to think beyond his own ‘blessings’ and ‘self-interest’ and to even consider what  the Trinity has done ‘for’ mankind in and through Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the World!

The tragic fact is that most of us Christians don’t really fully understand, and neither have they really ever ‘thought through’ to the ultimate conclusion, much of the silly religious concepts and notions, mostly man’s own religious ideas and  philosophical speculations, that we  have been taught  to blindly believe!

Let's become honest and admit that most Christians and especially Ministers are just to petrified  by fear, and immobilized by superstition or have a vested financial or social interest  interest in maintaining the status-quo, to even question many of the illogical and unscriptural traditional ‘theories’ that we have been ‘spoon fed’ since childhood.

Ironically, many don’t even know what they believe, yet are willing to die for it!

I personally know this to be true…….because I too have the T- shirt!

We as followers of Jesus Christ need to gain the courage to question and unlearn much of our ‘religion’ ….in order to ‘learn the Mystery of God: Christ!

Jesus Christ is the Saviour of All Mankind, of every man, woman and child…..this is God’s own Testimony concerning His Son. 

This is a Divine Fact…whether we believe it or not! God rests from His work, based on His conviction and confidence in His own testimony! The time has come for Christianity to rediscover and again believe the wonderful testimony of God!
