Ive sensed this just like youve described it, GHLd. The beginning of the end of it For me it was in the fact and realization that so many people who claim to of had "Christ in their hearts" and yet would boast and gloat over the fact that someone who had a different opinion than theirs would burn in hell for all of eternity, while they would live on golden streets in their forever mansions with all their heavenly treasures.
Meanwhile everyone else is burning in hell.
How do these people sleep at night?
How is this not pure hate and wickedness of heart and mind.
How is that loving others as yourself?
All of these are rhetorical questions that I have discovered/uncovered the answers to.
My purpose for this post isn't to give those answers, but to point out the fallacy within this ideology.
People have used this very tactic of someone burning in hell if they didn't do what someone told them to do. Molestation of every nature has been done by using this very tactic. People have wiped out entire nations and tribes of people due to this mentality. This mentality has been a root cause of so much control, abuse, and power all brought to fruition by using the fear of being thrown into hell, just for not believing exactly as they believe.
People have been burned alive just for questioning it at all.
Add the fact that none of then agree, even within the same "religion" (Christianity itself!)
I've gone from church to church and they all claim to know the "only way." Yet they all disagree with one another while following the same god.
Every cult I've ever examined for research purposes has had that exact mentality.
So, for me, it was in all of this that a total lie could be seen clearly.
This is all from an evil source.
Not a "good source."
It was in watching the "elders of the church" that taught me how wicked of an ideology it all was.
And the most powerful form of mind control the world has ever known.
So, I call bullshit.
And have spent my time wisely and searching for a different answer. In doing so I found the true source of light and love. God in his true forms. Love peace and joy are the kingdom of heaven here on earth. If someone hasn't learned this yet, then I feel for them. Jesus is, in fact, the Way. Its just not the "way" its been described.
I choose love, mercy, kindness, gentleness joy peace forbearance self control and long suffering as my guides through life's obstacles.
I know that this world is not my home, and that this is temporary and not mine to fight over.
I have found the kingdom of heaven. I went through and past hell to find it.
