Not good news to Christendom

<< < (2/3) > >>

love_magnified:
I believe the Gospel, that is the real gospel not taught in churches, is a message of fire, which is light. When you speak it to people, you can learn alot about them and where they are in life, by how they react to it. I learned alot about myself by how I reacted to it. I felt joy and excitement, BUT, I also had a twinge of feeling like I was less "special" than I used to feel. That taught me alot.

I agree with you shibboleth.  For a person to actually believe that there is an eternal punishment in hellfire and act the way they do, one would have to be a complete unbeliever in the 2nd commandment in Mark 12 about loving your neighbor.  If you do not believe Jesus commandments according to Him you do not believe Him, so even by christendom's doctrines they themselves cannot escape hell.  That is why they should hit their knees when they hear the truth of UR.  
I have always heard that the deep meaning of the word "gospel" in Greek was actually "too good to be true news".  Well when those scales fall off and you start hearing with new ears it is overwhelming joy that seems too good to be true.
Also shibboleth you do have Ray's mind.  It is the mind of Christ.
Praise God for God.

   The " Good News "   the   " Few chosen "

  It is crazy how many still believe what they're involved in, is not just the opposite.
When I was in Brazil a few months ago, I passed by a new Church that looked like the White House.
 It could hold many, many, many people. And of course on that same block there are others that are to be
re-designed and enlarged so many more people could fit.

   Coming back into Orl,Fl not much has changed.

   Same old Giant Mormon Temple right across the street
from their, Church (theres a meaning behind that.I've done my research)

  The good sized Baptist Church,Classrooms,meeting hall, fair grounds and huge parking lot.

   The Catholic School, banquet hall, Church #1 for (baptism-confession-cerimonies-etc, Church #2 for service, the Office(govt) and the Priests Hotel lodging in the back by the woods.

   The lutheran Glass collection museum and beautiful landscaping art.

   The highway exit that leads directly to one of the largest Churches ever seen, where other denominations
can rent space to hold their services.

   The Spanish, Brazilian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Haitian, and every other race on earth Church, in Hotels, warehouses, Movie theaters, cafes, and any where they can hold hundreds of Dollars, oops I mean Followers.

   And this is the few??? Just how narrow is this path??? Did Jesus use a measuring tape???
 That sure does'nt seem to be like A few to me... I've told people of the REAL GOOD NEWS, but they laughed and said they'd rather stick with their great news.

P.s. Has anyone ever seen the SNL episode where Alec Baldwin
        is the creating giant needles so miniature camels can pass through?
     It did'nt seem like something that won't be happening sometime soon...

That is great observation D Student.

The SNL about making giant eye of needles is another great example of God is all in all.  This is an amazing example of "christianity".  It makes the Word fit the world's needs. 

"If all the time you have to seek God is 45 minutes before lunch on Sunday, then we have you taken care of and will get you into heaven and you do not have to go out of your way to get there.  As a matter of fact, take a nap during the sermon if you like."  That is what the tradition of man has done with the Word of God.
