The Effect of ‘Free” willer Christianity
A very good first hand report on the actual effects of free willer Christianity: it blinds those who at least knew that demons were real that they are real, leaves with them nothing but “intellectual ideas” that do not and have never defended anyone against those demons and blames the victim for the whole because they supposedly haven’t got the use of the free will correct ‘yet’.
It literally births none in Jesus Christ yet wants its converts to be “happy” over its own brand of “salvation” while blaming other people for all the problems because demons supposedly can’t exist among such ‘Christians’ and the only possibility left is that the enemy is each other. The actions of such deceived persons are identical because they have the same demons.
It isn’t just Africa and black people. Look at the US and you see exactly the same in George Bush, John McCain and Barak Obama as with a string of the last ten presidents, and bureaucrats, elected officials, lawyers and judges of the same period; exactly when all the Methodists and Baptists sermons were ending in “..so that’s why Calvinism can’t be true”, the Romanists were “converting” the poor and gullible under the same lie and a false Calvinism that is simple Arminianism became the norm in “Reformed” Churches.
excerpted from: Africa: Why Christianity Fails to Be 24/7 Religion
It is Western Christianity that objectified God, recreated Him-Her as an intellectual idea, and put up a boundary between the spiritual and the material, the sacred and the profane. Is this dichotomy evident in Jesus’ teaching? No.
Secondly, Pope Benedict XVI has recently said that Christianity is not another moral or ideological system, but a transformative encounter with a person, Jesus Christ. Well, Papa, often in Africa we experience Christianity as an encounter not with Jesus but with a bureaucracy.
Western Christianity is obsessively institutional. Its religious officials are a powerful class of ’spiritual middlemen’ whose job seems to be to dole out access to the Divine. They keep pushing God further upward and the ordinary Christians further downward. The result, as one African archbishop put it, is that “God has been represented to Africa as distant and inaccessible to ordinary Christians, as if indifferent to them.”
The rise and popularity of evangelical/Pentecostal Christianity in Africa, which emphasizes personal experience of the Divine in every sphere of life, is in part due to its closeness to the traditional African spirituality of God-with-us 24/7.
In the lie of free will, God supposedly gave you free will so He wouldn’t have to messing with you; literally, so He wouldn’t be bothered with you. In actual Christianity, God causes us to be new creatures that can be His home, lives in us and trusts our welfare to none but Himself.
Jesus Christ isn’t stupid, a lesson those middlemen have never learned and never will. They have said they perfectly understood God and have no need of any ‘other’ understanding than the one they already have.
1Corinthians 6:19,20 Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own? for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
