Warning: the following contains Christian value references, might be important to international regulation. Also warning to reader complex topics that might be a bit more A fee than I would like – I don’t have all the answers, some of the questions I pose are hard for me. Not having all the answers not all easy when Bible requires people to Be Perfect and not delivering on that perfection is set to sin. I provide the following to both potentially increase my own knowledge, let others know where I am coming from, raise awareness of real issues as I see them, and hopefully help promote mercy and grace for others. Reminder I am not a priest, preacher, or minister nor an expert in all topics I discuss.
If perfecting Christianity does not ideal – countless examples of a society that collectively invests in sin that is nearly impossible to divest from in ideal ways – who is likely to have demons, evil spirits, and who is not?
The idea everyone that is not Christian will be saddled with tons of evil spirits and demons does not really seem to be the actions of a loving God, a God that claims to love their enemy.
One might venture to ask if Christ might be more willing to allow Christians that are saved that sin to take on more evil spirits and demons. Not sure that makes sense, is a Christian that is saved (no condemnation under Christ) temporarily set to an enemy? 7 spirits more wicked than the last – with the amount of collective sin seems like world would be getting exponential level of demons on the common.
Global Warming is less than ideal heat strokes out. Cars don’t protect all lives. Yet our World on the common relies upon systems that produce global warming and cars to improve the lives of many at the cost of a few. One might venture to ask how different that is from organized crime. To someone who is looking at being Christian, when Christianity demands perfection, yet perfection is set to already achieved?
Forgiven, saved, God might end the world tomorrow (Revelation). More people saved or less global warming? What if less global warming factors into people being saved? A person sees other Christians not living up to Bible’s requirement to be perfect, that person dies early due to heat stroke caused by global warming? And a society that throws rocks at a subset of the population, rather than realizing its own sin? All while Christ and God seems to be arbitrarily distributing evil spirits and demons in a way that doesn’t seem consistent with real justice? Taught to pray in private, Be Perfect + James 4:17 knowing and not doing is sin – yet those inconsistencies are forgotten while those that are less than ideal truth (or any other sin, failure of perfection) are stacked with 7 spirits more wicked than the last?
God, Christ perceived as less just is not likely to be ideal people saved.
A God that does not answer prayers, when prayers are expected to be answered, combined with the burden to be perfect is not fun, joyful, a light burden, rest. God hates a lying tongue, claim ideal value out when it is like BS feedback? The product is great, kind of not really? Saved rocks, reliance on prayers that don’t deliver does not.
Truth of this document more value added than support amps? I would venture to question it.
If two people are hit on repeat for years, then one messes up – will people later remember either of them being hit, or will they just remember the one that messed up?
-Didn’t A it
Oppression and hardship is far from ideally factored in – far from ideally factored in seems to be grounds to reduce and limit
Christ the man that is still recovering from being crucified, or the God that has had 2000 years of Heaven and is ready to hit a home run for my life?
If God did saddle other religion outside of Christianity with demons and unclean spirits how might it affect the world, World Peace? It might lead to feeling of Church, Christians should be in all positions of power because Jewish, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Pagans, Agnostics, and Atheists could all be saddled with demons or unclean spirits that could control things in bad ways at anytime.
The idea of Christianity is there is a price to pay for not accepting Christ as savior. I venture to say many Christians veer away from the topic – humility is respected, might be more inviting than you are wrong you will go to hell for not being Christian. Christ and The Bible says blessed are the peacemakers, reminding people in other religions they are wrong and will go to hell likely not ideal peace made – important reminder not to judge.
Not all prayers have been answered in my life. The Bible says don’t judge, and mercy will be given to the merciful, humility and being humble is to be valued, love your neighbor is to be valued. Thus Golden Rule makes me both want people saved to be Christian and not be judged for choosing not to be (God works on hearts and souls – and He is more powerful than I). A book that says Be Perfect and also says Don’t Judge would sound hypocritical and inconsistent if one judges, and assessing with possibility of demons might be veering too close to judgment.
Yet other religions might not find things like lying, homosexuality, sexual sin as wrong, might not feel it necessary to follow 10 Commandments – which could equate to desire to assess at least for protection of loved ones, fellow citizens, and yes even enemies (love your enemy a Christ teaching, peace made as valuable might not be required to be turned up in all religions). The idea a Christian should be less demons, less sin, more forgiveness and grace, less judgment, less injustice equates to capacity to be seen as safe, worthy of inclusion. The idea a non-Christian could be set to unsafe, worthy of judgment not all Christian teachings amplified – don’t judge (which could call into question if the Christian judging is actually a Christian, a non-ideal tempt to judgment, assessment).
Prescribe to ethics of 10 Commandments and then don’t assess if others are likely to break them seems unlikely in practice (theoretically people are taught not to judge, yet like crossing the street one has to assess on the common if a car is moving too fast, might hurt them). That said judgment, assessment, and villain level contrast (people set to criminals, less worthy of inclusion) is common and has high potential for being based on less-than-ideal truth and comprehension and has showed historic precedent for it.
Seeing as Christians don’t always live up to don’t judge or The 10 Commandments – all have fallen short of the glory of God – it might be comprehensible that not all are willing or ready to accept Christ as savior, or accept His teaching of forgiveness. Non-Christians or Christians for that matter relied upon for forgiveness, real forgiveness, mercy and grace might not be wisdom. Less requirement to forgive is valuable, access to data and truth has shown precedent overtime for not always used wisely. I know personally, knowing does not require full comprehension – knowing something does not require I go through the same training, same tests, same health problems, same way previous data was comprehended. I might see the data does not equate to I can see the hits – if you felt the hits yourself you likely have a different level of comprehension, yet feeling the hits is not always desirable, could even cause irreversible damage like brain damage. People want to comprehend in a way that isn’t damaging – truth and relevance raised with grace and forgiveness is valuable, beats empathetic feel my pain.
I like others likely want others not to persecute them. That said I don’t want the others that I want to stop persecuting me to feel my pain, nobody should have to feel my pain. Repeatedly put on the street does not make a person better, should not be redistributed for others.
I will say that it might be less damaging for someone who is in power that is not a Christian to make a mistake. If a Christian is given power and then misuses it, has potential to give feeling of both the one that misuses the power and The Church, other Christians are less trustworthy. I know I am imperfect and have fallen short of glory of God at times in my life. I know there is possibility for a Christian or Non-Christian leader to make mistakes. The hope is a Christian leader over the long haul will be few mistakes and greater generosity and also deliver greater value closer to perfection because they have the support of God and Christ. The idea someone is more trustworthy might lead to less oversight, less oversight for anyone in power might not always be ideal – that said excessive oversight and micromanaging is not all Golden Rule, ideal peace made.
That said Christ sees profit different than man. If Christ was leader of your company, things, including things which might bankrupt the company could be set to higher priority than the bottom line. World Peace or no job? Keeping one off the street doesn’t factor into World Peace? While Christ might be able to deliver miracles for all parties, Christians have to rely upon God and Christ through prayer.
Caveat – man that relies upon miracles that cannot deliver them himself might not be ideally reliable – and further with global warming and other collective sins, knowing when God will answer prayers might not always be a guarantee.
If I was about to launch a Spaceship to the ISS (International Space Station) I would both want my prayers for safety to be heard as well as I would want more assurance.
