Fix the problems on the inside, then the rest takes care of itself.

Fake love in churches

The antics of the Christian churches never cease to provide food for thought, especially bearing in mind how many people are affected by them.

Recently we read of :

Ute beauty: $1.5m to promote Jesus

One of the key aspects of this is that the Churches are trying to get people to focus on Jesus, as opposed to the Churches and the people in them. Research has been conducted which revealed:

“all the problems that were associated with the church were being raised, and there was a lot of bad press. The church was anathema but Jesus was fine.”

This approach is interesting because it misses the point.

You see, Christian doctrine teaches that we can have a personal relationship with God through his Son Jesus Christ.

Christian doctrine also tells us that being in a relationship with God will improve our character and make us nicer people.

Now, when I have a personal relationship with someone I can hear what they say, sense what they feel and have a good understanding of them.

It is very clear that even the leadership – pastors, priests, deacons and so on have a severe spiritual hearing problem. They clearly do not appear to hear from God.

Just one example of this is Pastor Michael Guglielmucci and the way he deceived hundreds of thousands of people, including many church leaders. I will rephrase the issue: people who claim to have a relationship with God and to hear from Him daily, failed to discern that Pastor Michael Guglielmucci was a liar and fraud. Strange eh!

Now the Churches want us to look at Jesus, not them!

Here’s another thing. Christian doctrine informs us that the church people are to be a living gospel and example to others. It also warns that church goers should not put stumbling blocks in peoples’ way (hindering their belief) and that they should avoid even the appearance of evil.

With this latest campaign, the Churches are missing the point yet again. If they concentrated on fixing THEMSELVES, then they would be not only much more in tune with Bible teachings (they claim to follow Biblical instruction), but they would attract more people to their way of life and make the world a better place. Fewer people would be abused or psychologically damaged.

Oh yeah…. I nearly forgot….why did the Churches need to conduct research? I thought they heard from God – the Master Architect and Planner?

You know you don’t really hear from God….don’t you.

PS: If you need help recovering from your ‘Christian experience’ or ‘Church experience’ I can help you. Once a Christian Minister, I have an in depth knowledge of many of the psychological and/or mental problems caused and exacerbated by the Churches, and the people in them.
