God Does Not Desire a Bigger Christianity

Please O Nations, hear this advice that I truly believe reflects GOD's perspective.

I sincerely believe that the Eternal GOD is not pleased with the present status quo dominance of GOD's Risen Messiah by Christianity. That is, when persons decide to personally embrace GOD's Messiah they are automatically expected to become one more member of the World-Wide-Christianity-Establishment. So that means they become involved in a rigid set of expectations, book stores, radio and T.V. net works and even exclusive dating services. In the U.S., this establishment also involves a complex system of approved educational institutions and higher education seminaries and also an implied commitment to support the system of nationalistic militarism that is now an integral part of the U.S. And a commitment to the Messiah in other nations also often implies a commitment to that nation's attitude of militarism.

I am truly convinced that this huge system that has come to be known as Christianity is a confusing entity which is often not good for or fair to persons who are considering becoming Risen Messiah Embracers.

GOD looks at today's world and sees from His eternal perspective persons of every size, shape and description, from every people, language, and nation. Though it may not appear to be the case, GOD loves and cares about each and every person of every nationality and ethnic group. But the vast majority of those who have become followers of the Risen Christ in today's world, are automatically put under the large man created classification of Christianity even though this term is never mentioned in the Bible. But this is truly not fair to those multiple millions of person who may be quite drawn to the person of GOD's born of a virgin now Risen Bethlehem man. Multitudes of such persons may have legitimate reasons that they strongly prefer not to become members of the giant establishment of Christianity that is often a great distance from Christ. So they automatically feel that to become an official member of the giant phenomena called Christianity, this automatically excludes them from becoming sincere embracers of GOD's Risen Messiah. This is both unfair, and unfortunate. Consequently I don't think that it is GOD's will that circumstances are allowed to dictate that this becoming an impersonal member of an impersonal Christianity is a main requirement. Because this circumstance stereotypes the Messiah as advocating exclusivity and in the Messiah's life on earth there was not a fiber of exclusivity in his being. He was constantly reaching out and embracing those who others considered un-embraceable, whether they were despised foreigner Samaritans, equally despised tax collectors, looked down upon prostitutes, even unclean lepers or Roman members of the occupying military, or typically smelly fisherman. Each of those who were attracted to the Messiah, He opened wide his arms to them to welcome them.

Now who do we have on the outside today whom the Messiah truly loves but who consider themselves automatically excluded from embracing him. We have the Buddhists, the Muslims, those in Shintoism, the Sikhs, the Druze, the Hindus, the Atheists, the Agnostics, the Scientologists and on and on the list could go of those who are considered by Christianity as being automatically and decisively excluded from being allowed to both embrace and love ALLAH's Risen Messiah.

Currently they are all automatically rejected from Christianity if they don't immediately fully reject virtually everything in their culture. But the New Testament teaches in more than one place in its Scriptures that the GOD anointed and GOD empowered Messiah will gloriously return for those who love him, not necessarily those who have signed their name on the dotted line as being an exclusive member of Christianity. Let us make no mistake. When the Scriptures declare in John, chapter Three, that GOD so loved the world, (not that he loved Christianity exclusively) that He gave His Messiah (who the writer John called “his son” because at that time a large people group of Muslims had not just come out of polytheism where calling GOD's Messiah “his son” was something the Muslims had strongly been conditioned against.)

Let persons with legalistic leaning be careful not to cancel GOD's Messiah's breadth of penetrating compassion. It is only to His Risen Messiah to whom GOD has given the GOD given ability to look into hearts and minds to recognise those who truly love him. And those who do sincerely embrace GOD's only Risen Messiah with their committed hearts, minds and souls and continue forever to lovingly embrace him will be turning their backs to what corrupts. In turning to him they will be turning away from hate, evil, corruption, sectarianism and militarism. Because his resurrection has become their resurrection. Thus, they will have the opportunity to love him beyond their natural death. But the embrace of him must be decisive and continuous.
