Recently I saw a factual movie telling the story of Christianity overtaking the world. England at one time owned one third of the world and was determined to convert every country using guns and force to do so. They shot the first "convert".

If that is the gospel — who needs it?

       It Ain't the Bible, It's the Messenger That's Screwed

The Bible is the most awesome book ever written. Pastors have used it to browbeat their congregations into submission. Christians have twisted it to salve their conscience as they slaughtered the black race and made them slaves. Missionaries have used it to “civilize” the world and make it twice the place of hell. We have conquered countries, killed men, women and children all in the name of “Christ”, finding scriptures to back our greedy little deeds.

We have used it in our courtrooms to free the guilty and hang the innocent; in our schools to threaten the kids with hellfire and damnation, and yet hidden within its pages are the secrets of God's heart. It has hidden within its pages the roadmap to our freedom, to eternity, to the heaven we all long for.
Without the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us into all truth; without the cross putting to death the carnal mind that cannot understand or comprehend the glorious light of the Gospel, the Bible is a lethal weapon in the hands of the unregenerate man.

Let us begin with this scripture: “The heart is wicked and deceitful above all things.” It does not say some people's hearts are wicked and deceitful, it says all people's hearts. So our preachers will point fingers at who they think are sinning when the fact is until we are completely changed into the likeness of Christ everything we do is “sinful”.

Another scripture: “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” It does not say some, it says all have sinned. It does not say what you do is sinful, it says who you are is sinful or half baked. So until the Christ has come to full stature inside of us, we are all sinners, or another way to say it is we are not whole. That puts the homosexuals and murderers right along with you and I.

The Bible does not say if you sin you will go to hell — it says we are born in hell, and Christ came to change us so we can be one with God and abide in eternity right now here on earth walking around in these fleshly bodies. Blessed, indeed are those who see not but still believe. Nobody can change oneself. We are only called to decrease and humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God while we are in the cocoon of testing. We cannot “put on the armor of Christ” — we have to grow into it. We cannot “reckon ourselves dead”. It is a slow process of “dying daily” while it is your turn to enter into that metamorphic crucible. The cross is, indeed, a stumbling block as we try so hard to do the “right” thing when the fact is we would create the old pattern all over again.

The Bible never says if we are good we will go to heaven or even that heaven is a place to go to, but rather heaven is within us and is joy, peace and righteousness in the Holy Spirit.

Our blind leaders have not a clue that there is nothing good in man to save — that indeed, we are born as a seed that must fall into the ground and die or we will never become complete, whole, or saved.

I could go on and on but let us just close with this thought, like our Constitution, the Bible is an awesome worthless, dangerous document of no value unless put to the use for which it was, indeed, written.
