Matthew 10:34

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

SOrry man I'm not a Christian.

funny thing . . . Jesus did not come to institute Christianity . . . that was Man's doing to maintain control . . . Jesus came as He has done before to deliver the message f a Christ Consciousness which is Love. The only true religion Life aka Love.

Friend read Matthew. Jesus message was repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. The disciples died martyr deaths. People hate Christ followers. read the book of acts. Jesus said not all who call on me shall be saved but he who obeys or does the will of the father. The word love is to ambiguous people define it anyway they want. But true Love is to love what God loves and to hate what God hates. So the message has to be a love/hate message. Hate what is evil and cling to what is good.

been there done that . . . many times . . . the Holy spirit . . .i feel, think or am inspired to know . . .whatever speaks to me the way it does as i does to you . . . "know ye that the Kingdom of God is within you" . . .Christ's words not Paul's . . . the only word of meaning for me is His . . .  all the rest is but commentary . . . .

why dont you believe in shinto? why not buddhism? why not hindu religions or indigenous ones?

Accually, religion is mostly a cultural thing. Monotheistic religions are the most dangerous.

I met Brian in South Africa in 2005 and find him a genuine person, with a heart for the Gospel and Jesus.

Brian asks questions we don not want to hear.

i don not neccesarily agrree with all he says,neither am I convinced I should.

Brian has a way of making one think about your faith in a way that is post-organised-church.

He has helped me find the centre of Christ's

message. Anyone who helps me draw closer to Jesus is my brother 4ever.

Its time to fight as Matt10:34-37 declare.

Go Brian go......

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (Mat 10:34-37)

sounds like me advocating progressive values at Thanksgiving amongst a group of hard right-wing tater cellar bomb shelter type folks.
