Learning to unlearn the image of what is, is really not.
Everything labeled Christian is not always good, or for that matter, right.Coming from an outsider's perspective, over time, a person would possibly be convinced that 'Christians were angry people'.That is an atrocity.Funny thing is, people who's not of the Christian persuasion also, in a contradiction dynamic, follow up telling us what we 'should' be, when they don't even understand fully, know, or comprehend the relationship with Christ.So they are telling us what we should be.When they don't know who we are.Reason. Cause and Effect. -Double hypocrisy-We are hypocrites. Giving a relapse effect for them.Atheists often say that their anger with God, or that God messed their life up.But, they don't believe in God, God might as well be the Santa Clause.To them, He is not real at all.I love atheist. They are challenging, they make me smarter. Because they believe something I don't. They have a different worldview. It gives me perspective. But, sometimes they are inconsistent.About the same way we are inconsistent.So, saying that brings me to this.We've got a "church within a "church"All inside, a "church" Building.People who proclaim but don't practice.People who practice and proclaim.Which, some people would call.an inconsistency.------Check this out, they're people in Churches who purchase everything that their preacher says. It's like people who really believe the television and news and take it legitmiacy for all it's worth.I question. Question everything. Learn for yourself and totally find a validity no one can take from you. Expereince Christ, and learn.-----Jesus was always consistent.Never did he waiver with any discrepancies.He said turn the other cheek.He said sacrifice yourself.He said seek and save.He said Love.It's all about Jesus. Hopefully, maybe, when Christians get that idea, we can be consistent.Hopefully, maybe, I can be consistent.I'm just a loser fighting for a win.It's frustrating when people who are not Christians come to me with their idea of a Christian.Not because of their idea. Not because they are not Christian.Because of our example, and the image that perpetuated their thinking, thus creating a fabricated view of what Jesus is, when what Jesus is, is really not."It's not our job to make anyone believe."-Emery.It's not.Our job is to love. Love everyone. Not your option, not your say on who. It's everyone. People who've sinned against you, people who have raped you, people who've stolen from you, moms who've abandoned you, fathers who've beat you, friends who taken your significant other.It's so right, it seems wrong.It's so hard, it seems impossible.But, as a Christian, it's not over.You have to love, and then forgive.Forgive. Better yet, whatever.It's so far out, that you, forgive someone for the unimaginably horrendous things humans do. Humans are conceited. And selfishness is at the root of all transgression. Forgive. Better yet, hands with nails through them.Forgive in humility. Maybe we wouldn't have the Crusades if we loved with Christ yielding thought.Maybe we wouldn't have had the Spanish Inquisition.Maybe we wouldn't have denominations. Inconsistency may be our only consistency.There is a lot of self-seeking Christian artist.Labeled "Christian" it must be good? No.There is a lot of Christian Churches speaking about damnation of homosexuals.Good? No.I adore the fellow believers who have a intellectually based faith.Who try to read context over content.Who can say that they mess up.Who will pray for truth!But I often find.Who can say I mess up? Who tries to read over my content?Who find their own truth, and settle.I hope I can find a constituency of believers focused on Christ: That can be still and know.
