Christians are some of the biggest sheep out there. Does Jesus really want us in churches worshipping him? Seems gay, and why I always thought Jesus was like Santa Clause. Now that I think of Jesus beyond the prison Christians want me to believe of him I think Jesus wants us asking a lot questions, even questioning him. I think Jesus came here to awaken us and guide us to the ascension that he achieved. I think Jesus has taken many forms throughout history. But I know in my soul that God did not create the entirety of everything so that we can blindly worship him. God is asking us each to awaken and take action. So many people think just "believing" is enough. Good luck with that. If you're paying taxes to pedophiles, our enemies, and YOU know what YOU'RE doing at this stage in the game, good luck.
Does Jesus really want us in churches worshipping him?“
But I know in my soul that God did not create the entirety of everything so that we can blindly worship him.“
This is a somewhat common misconception especially among smart boys who project their own insecurity onto the Lord. The Lord isn’t insecure at all and gains no esteem from our worship. The benefit of worship isn’t for Him, it’s for you.
Psalm 100:5 begins,
For the Lord is good”
One way to interpret is that “good” isn’t an adjective but a noun, like a synonym of ‘goodness’. So you can think of an equation: The Lord = goodness. So by worshiping the Lord, you are aligning yourself with goodness and doing yourself a favor.
Perfectly said. I would like to add that attending church is important because it helps with growth. Once one has matured in Christ, the next step is to keep attending and help others mature. We start as students and mature into teachers
One other thing that gets neglected in Christianity, but observed in both Judaism and Islam, is the assistance and oversight of the economics and operation of the body.
It shouldn’t be central to the worship aspect, but imho it’s a component that shouldn’t be overlooked, either.
Really, both, but I had “group” in mind when I wrote it.
(How well Islam “looks after the members of its body” as a whole is totally up for debate, but they do tend to promote Islamic businesses and keeping money in the group better than many Christian churches do, which is what I was looking at with the comment)
very good. only a jealous god demands blind worship, like the so-called god of the torah. the christ consciousness inhabited jesus. i would say the christ consciousness has taken many forms throughout history, not jesus himself, but you are loud and clear.
Jesus was identified and known by the Torah and by the Prophets.
If the Creator therein was no good, but Jesus was, Jesus would have spoken out against Him, instead of saying that he and his Father are one.
What is misunderstood that got you to this statement, only you can answer. A lot of both the questions and answers for reconciling this sort of thing can be difficult, so be patient and pray for discernment.
Church capture by globalists. Needs pushback by congregations. Most efficient method: Seize the means of worship by booting all paid shills and wokonians out of congregation and Church leadership. In this case "eye for eye" rather than "turn the other cheek". Never forget the Cowardice of COVID, done by Church so-called leadership.
C.S. Lewis
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

Yes, there is the fellowship and the passing along of knowledge, and also the spiritual protection that comes with worship.
One other thing that gets neglected in Christianity, but observed in both Judaism and Islam, is the assistance and oversight of the economics and operation of the body.
It shouldn’t be central to the worship aspect, but imho it’s a component that shouldn’t be overlooked, either.
By “body” do you mean a group of church people, or do you mean an individual person’s physical self?
Really, both, but I had “group” in mind when I wrote it.

AMEN. The god of the torah is lucifer. And torah worshippers freely admit that he is.
You should revisit your premises here.
Jesus was identified and known by the Torah and by the Prophets.
If the Creator therein was no good, but Jesus was, Jesus would have spoken out against Him, instead of saying that he and his Father are one.

Oh yeah. I learned about Edgar Cayce also and have heard about the history of what have been. Even read about it a lot because it is sure interesting.
