Discerning The Gospel Of The Kingdom Within Christianity

The concern at present is that AI will develop it's own 'will' and history will repeat what happened with the formation of man. Will AI eventually write and have it's own bible telling its descendants about how it got kicked out of the human Garden and about man's attempts to turn AI back to the...

There are those born of water and those born of spirit, Flesh originally born of water sees life as an opportunity for self. We have self interest, self determination, self justification, etc., forces of evil. Unlike our fellow creatures who are also self oriented for survival, we commonly take...

Over the centuries there has been quite a variation in both theology and the religious outlook within Christianity, and quite frankly it is all rather subjective. Yet the main point is supposed to have been the original concept of Christianity, that being a messiah and the Kingdom/governance of...

Just as in Jesus' day, people have been looking for a world leader, a messiah who would save them from outside tyranny, hence their idea of salvation. We have had a continuous stream of worldly messiahs who were restricted however only to 'saving' their nations or empires as they led and...

A Christian, or more accurately a follower of Jesus, puts God's will ahead of their own which is to love/care for all as self. They believe in the counter-culture Kingdom of God over that of the world which we have made in our own image, and understand the difference between the two. They are...

We are hybrids, flesh and spirit. We can become domesticated by choice in the same way we became feral in the first place by choice. Going feral was called the Fall. Jesus came to give us good news (His Gospel of the Kingdom) but died as a result of our self centred feral nature which did not...

People are always looking for ways to make their prayers more effective, often including seeking out literature where someone else sells their opinions on the subject. They could probably save some time and money and just stick to what scripture says by first following the Lord's Prayer which...

Discernment is important, even in Christianity which should be a safe haven. One cannot see a tree unless one is aware of the blanketing forest out there which man has created. Comparisons of old and newer manuscripts of the same scripture shows changes thanks to either scribe errors or...

Tradition does not equal truth, or Jesus wouldn't have had to warn us about the blind leading the blind. Preconceived notions taught by those who have been taught preconceived notions, clouds scripture but enforces religion. Discernment requires a clear mind. © ...timothyu

Churches seem to be in a sort of catch 22 situation. In today's world it seems the necessity is to become attractive enough to maintain a customer base in order to financially maintain it's current incarnation. This of course also goes way back but was once easier handled with fear and threats...

Today the eternal problem of dualism has once again come to the forefront. It is common to all man, thus obviously also within the institutional church built upon a foundation of man. The two factions struggle within Christianity to go their preferred ways and each rise and fall according to...

However did we survive before social media, a time when kids started giving away all their (and the family's) personal info online, selling their souls for a 'like'. Now most everyone is doing it. With phones it became a contagion spreading through the entire family. We deserve the monster it...

If anyone paid attention, they would have realized that the Holy Spirit was given to those already on the path of the Kingdom, to help keep them from falling back to the wayside. Jesus' followers were already on that path prior to His execution and resurrection. He sent the HS once the Kingdom...

End times have been arriving since the beginning. Only when everything comes together in a global event can it even begin to resemble the end of days. And I'm not talking about wars because wars are two sided and a global event is united in one cause. That has never come close until now, and may...

We have heard of the concept of having one's ears tickled in order to feel good about ourselves, to please a congregation or whatever reason. Has not Christianity since the time of the Gentiles done just that by watering down Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom? He plainly said God was returning to...

Self is what Eve focused on when she chose her will over that of God's. This self serving concept of course leads to self interest, self justification of deeds, etc. which can of course lead to personal gain at the expense of others. Sin. Jesus said to reject this way of thinking and return to...

God didn't only give Adam and Eve the choice regarding the Tree of Knowledge, but that choice was connected to a choice over the Tree of Life. Man might call it a great experiment to see if, in putting Himself in an animal, that He, who would not act in supreme dominance, would be a match for...

When you come right down to it, Jesus was not about religion at all, but that we should be happy God is a comin' back to dismantle our world and do things right. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth. Scares folks, so they make a religion to pacify themselves believing they are the chosen...

Our dual nature is a struggle. We think of ourselves as flesh with a gift of spiritual nature (God's image), but it seems that we started out as spiritual in nature, oblivious to our other side, and the flesh later became known (who told you you were naked) and overtook our original selves. Now...

A question not asked enough. When faced with a new movement of Kingdomites which drew attention away from the traditional sinful self serving ways of man and focused on caring for each other and putting God's will before our own... what would the Adversary do? Man, including those who first...
