Beyond Judeo-Christian Culture and Religion: To the Faith (Edited by ChatGPT)

  

Imagine growing up eating real fruit for most of your life, and then you are given a highly processed fruit juice that is 10% or 25% fruit. It is sugary and has a hint of fruit, but it is not the real thing. It flatters the flesh and tastes sweet like sugar. Yet spiritually it is morbidity dressed as health — a slow poison. This diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer-in-the-making is sweet on your tongue but poison to your spirit; it kills. This junk food is Judeo-Christian culture and religion — be it the dead ones (Orthodox and Catholic), the living ones who call themselves born again and temples of the Holy Spirit, or those weeds of the devil mixed with the wheat of the Lord — the heretics: progressive death, word-of-faith, prosperity gospel, and other Protestant heresies. Those things kill.

 

Before addressing the dogs and pigs, let us focus on the children of God — the born-again faithful who are led by the Holy Spirit into the image of the Lord. The core faith — the faith — is to accept the Lord (Jesus) as Lord, to be born again, and to grow into the image of Jesus. You need to grow into the image of Jesus. Jesus is not a hidden man in smoke; he lived a sinless and perfect life on this earth. That is perfect life: living to serve the will of the heavenly Father 24/7 and being obedient unto the cross. Perfection is when all your treasure is in heaven and you live and die by faith and holiness in the hand of God and for the service of God — just like Jesus.

 

To grow to perfection is not to grow to Job; it is not to grow into Abraham — it is to grow into the life of Jesus. The ideal faithful is Jesus, and what we should preach is Jesus — not our desire and way of life dressed as theology, but Jesus. We have to see our life as failure because we are not Peter, Paul, and John, who carried the cross of the Lord unto death for the Lord. We give 10–20% of our life to the Lord and many of us build empires for ourselves in the name of the Lord, and worst of all, we preach ourselves. I am not Jesus, and my life is far from Jesus, but I don’t preach me. I preach Jesus so our tomorrow could be more Jesus than our today. This is the faith — the only true faith.

 

This is healthy faith, because after giving 50% of your life you will be humble before God and understanding toward others, because you also know your failure. Otherwise you will be growthless, self-worshiping, and judgmental — a good-for-nothing religious bigot that most people who consider themselves “holy” are. What they do is always point a finger at sinners but they never understand why they don’t look like Jesus. They use sinners as a mirror to honor their garment damnation so they can worship themselves, but they never use Jesus as a mirror to grow toward him. They fix the norm and culture of religion and swim in that illusion, having honor and respect from their fellow blind friends, but never seeking the honor which is from above.

 

I am saying again and again: nobody is going to buy that you are 30–40% Jesus and 60–70% devil and flesh — the mixture you sell as Judeo-Christian evangelical tradition. Let yourself grow into 100% Jesus and let the flesh and devil fade away and Jesus take over. You are busy pointing fingers, right you are, but first remove the wood from your own eye. Fight your fight and let others follow in your footsteps. Otherwise, worshiping yourself and declaring others as unsatisfied with good will get you nowhere, because we tested perfection to be okay with good. We tested Jesus to be okay with you and with our life. Jesus or death — get the point.

 

You are interested in religion of faith, but faith is life and life is the Holy Spirit. Build manner, life, mind, and faith that are worthy of the Holy Spirit and grow into the image of Jesus — and let others follow or lead you, as God wills it. My message is that you need to grow yourself, but you only want to grow others into you. This is the core difference between us. You are building religion; my focus is life, and that life has a limit — Jesus, the only Christ there is. You are Judeo-Christian Protestant or evangelical; I am a slave of Jesus. Preach Jesus — 100% Jesus — the Jesus who loves his enemy, the Jesus who does not demand honor, the Jesus who washes feet not only on Good Friday but all the time, and the Jesus whose treasure is in heaven, not on this earth. This will define us as failures who are getting right rather than as the gold standard of faith that many religions imagine themselves to be.

 

What about the pigs and dogs — the Jewish people, Muslims, Orthodox, Catholics, and all the dead people? They need to wash their dirt in water baptism by accepting Jesus as Lord, to be born again in spirit by the Holy Spirit, and to become children of the living God. We came from bars and stupid life, from temples of the devil; we were given a second chance and spiritual rebirth in the image of Jesus. We were pigs and dogs; now by grace we are children of God. Yesterday we were lost and crying; now we are your guides to life. We declare to you: the kind of peace that Jesus can give is not the kind of peace that the world can give. Religion is routine and culture; faith is life. Have life by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior — not to be Protestant or evangelical, but to be a child of God.

 

I told someone that the faithful love their enemies, turn the other cheek, and are not for war, colonialism, greed, or selfish ways — and simply they are not Judeo-Christian Protestant. He told me, “Look at America or the world Protestant.” No — what I am giving you is Jesus, the real faith — the faith. To accept Jesus as Lord, to be born of water and Spirit, and to grow into the image of Jesus the Christ — the only Christ there is. People may have 20–40% Jesus and I may have 10–15% Jesus, but what I am selling is pure Jesus — 100% Jesus. Because one who comes first is not always first, as it is written: many who come last will be first. So don’t look to those who come first — the Judeo-Christian evangelical — look to the first — Jesus. The standard of faith is not coming first but being first in the sight of God.

 

I know the dead accept sin and bless sin; next is music and dance, and the media says they grow fast — now I understand why media is less trustworthy — and they add the youth like dead things. Good for them. Men of flesh live by the flesh and think by the flesh because they are just flesh. We tell the world that they need to grow to Jesus and that sin is sin. We don’t affirm sin or the world, because we don’t want the world. We want to save the world, so we condemn it for not knowing light from darkness, holiness from sin, and God from the devil.

 

From five thousand who did not know Jesus but who came for food, the eleven disciples are the only ones worth saving while the rest have to hit the road. No to sin, no to corruption, and no to the world — but yes to Jesus. Even if sinners come to Jesus without knowing who he is and without desire to grow to him but to live in sin, our problem is not to keep them but to cast them out to the devil. There is no unity between the dead and the living, because the vultures want dead people in one square but the living will fly up to the kingdom of God. It is bad marketing, right — but who said we are flesh only to think like flesh?

 

Now to those heretics of the devil in the house of God — including the prosperity gospel. It is funny how a poor boy who tasted money never stops shouting about money; it is like our spirit is hungry for heaven and Jesus and we shout Jesus 24/7, and I notice when rich people get poor, they cry a lot about money. Word-of-faith and other heresies planted by the devil please do not sell your salvation to gain material things.

 

When you find Jesus, how can health and wealth become your primary aim with Jesus? Would it not be better to be like Jesus in speech, walk, thought, word, life, and service, and should your prayer not be this: “Make me like you and craft me in your image”? You don’t know what is good because you don’t know God — Jesus. Was Jesus like you, or was he One who made himself in the image of God because he is God? You should be poor in spirit more than poor in flesh, but now you sold your spirit to feed your flesh. What miserable and worthless faithful you are — I am really sorry for you. For bread and water you downgrade God to your level of ignorance — and that for bread and water? Repent! What is really wrong with you? You find God and the first thing you want is bread!? I am sorry to be blunt, but poverty really made you a zombie of the faith.

 

Now there are those who think this is devilish talk, and my answer is: do you know God? To know Jesus you have to know God, and to know us you have to know Jesus. If you don’t know Jesus, how can you know us? So know Jesus — we are not important.
