With these ties, I shall not die. The truth that goes without proof.

I do not have all the answers.I am not a theologian. (Or someone who REALLY knows the Bible. Like, got a doctorate.)But chapters will speak, not just verses.I love, know Jesus.I am pro-Jesus.I am not pro-Pharisee Christian.It seems that the idea Christ had in mind when speaking and teaching and talking in parables saving souls. Healing the sick. Traveling with just the cloths on HIS back. You know, going around with His Messiah Complex.He had focused on some key points and others were not so important.I don't have all the answers. In FACT! I try and keep an open mind when it comes to discussion about topics/beliefs/issues.But, we as people areDogmatic.Legalistic.Our way or no way.Our truth.Your truth.A lot of us...Not a lot of Jesus.Some of the seriously most spiritually in-tune people I know are careless about the silly stuff and just really want to serve others and be apart of Jesus' body and love Him and wake up and hit their knees early!Is it too much to as that a Christian be humble in their views?Christian? Humble?I would like to do it the way Jesus' people did.The Jewish Rabbi's.If there was a problematic issue with the Torah. They would gather opposing school of thoughts. Talk it out in a rational, mature, educational way.Then, guess what!PRAY ABOUT IT!These are people that are pick and choose Torah either.They have cover to cover.Memorized.They are serious with their beliefs...Their not picking fights. This is THEIR GOD. They are talking about when approaching issues. This is their LAW. This is their LIFE.I know some very special and dear people to me. Messianic Jews.Jews that believe Jesus is the prophetic messiah.Blow your mind!These are Jesus own people and know and love Him. 2000 years later.They are incredible people. They will change your view on this wholeAmerican Chruch:American JesusIt's so funny. Jesus was not Christian.He just started the messianic Jew movement that thus created Christianity.So many times in arguments people take their school of thought, hold it near and dear to their pride and wont let got because their doctorine and pride have a tighter grip than their opposing school of thought, in which, may be a truth.People will not concede even if there are wrong. MAYBE. They're both right. But, what if one is more right?I mean in multiple-choice question: Where does Dan reside?A: America.B: Earth.C: Kentucky.D: Brentwood, TN.They are all right. But, one just one got the pinpoint location.THAT'S what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the pinpoint location of Jesus heart.If that calls me to concede in a truth I hold near and dear. So be it.Frankly my truth may not be, the truest truth.Nor may yours.But, it's an issue when people don't see it like I do, or take it so lightly.Some people are grown up in Church and molded by their doctrine and denominational virtues that supposedly reflects Christ.But, not me.I didn't grow up in Church. I went a couple times.I didn't know Jesus. I heard His name a couple times.I'm saying simply this. Go to the grave in your religion or to the grave with your relationship.Die in your pseudo-doctrine or die with your passionate devotion.Do these people think their doing God a favor? That they're really close buddies and that their ideas will suit them, as well as God.I think not.I know not.Some people thrive on the things that seperate body. But, when was there really a passion for unity? A disire that says...I bet Jesus had the same idea.An apostle of His did.1 Corinthians 1:10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.Think that PhilipiRomeLaodiceaThessaloniaCornithThink they was denomonational?I hope we can put our JESUS goggles on and stop looking thru the eyes of our American past, we can see past our parents instilled faith. Find a fire for yourself that will ignite a parental adoration. Because now your not being feed for your faith anymore "Christian infant" you've passed the walking years and now you feed yourself. Feed yourself. Parents are amazing catalyst for faith, but feed yourself. Foster this idea that it's OK to question.It's OK to wrestle with views. It's OK to say, "Uhh, I'm not so sure."This my Mormon background speaking? No.Jesus was my example. His biggest oppressors was the dogmatic parasiee who"Knew it all"And guess what. Jesus wrestled with their school of thought. He stumped their views.They killed Him for the truth.What if they said: "You know what Jesus, you're right."I concede. "Order me a gallon of "O' pride"Because for them, if they followed, it was a lot to swallow. Like us. Like me. I don't have all the answers but, maybe with fervent Bible study, perspective worldview and religious study, knowledged and seasoned mentors, practiced prayer time, and loving open-minded discussion.I might get some good answers. And in humility with a dab of proper pursuit, I will find the truth. I might have to hold back on things I see important and things I don't.But, I will not be dogmatic.I will not be legalistic.However, there are them things in the Bible that are pretty cut and dry.That is just unarguable. 1 Corinthians 1212 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. Ephesians 41As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." 9(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? 10He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
John 17
Jesus Prays for Himself 1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples 6"I have revealed you[a] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. 12While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. 13"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify[b] them by the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
Jesus Prays for All Believers 20"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
