I don’t see Gods wrath.
I see Romans and Jews, government & religion, I see a beast & a prostitute conspiring to preserve their system of threats and violence by killing the man who taught us how to tear it all down with love & service to each other.
@turtleboogers@BrysonGray Paul is more in line with Gnosticism.
The original church were more in line with Ebionites.
There has never been agreement on these ideas. @BrysonGray is Jewish.
He wants fullfill the law.
Paul said “let each be convinced in his own mind”
Who REALLY obeys Jesus tho?
@BrysonGray The obsession with sin instead of an obsession with bearing fruit says a lot about how far Christianity is from the heart and mind of Jesus.
@BrysonGray All the original, institutionalized church did was quibble over details and write condemnations against groups it disagreed with.
This is a long, fruitless Pharisee tradition that I’m thankful to no longer be a part of.
Jesus’s teachings & following him looks much different.
@BrysonGray This is pointless
Sell all you have and give to the poor
Intellectual assertions regarding unprovable ideas about the unseen world is a complete waste of time when you have a clear mandate to produce fruit & care for the poor.
Christians have nothing to do with Jesus
Our clothes are made by abused children, our phones are made by slaves, our prosperity comes from war, our labor is used to empower a murderous beast.
If we are in the world, but not of it, our contribution to this system should be as little as possible.
@UniverseBE@w_bitterman Revelation 18 describes 'Babylon'—a system built on greed, exploitation, and the literal human trafficking of souls. Equating regular Christians who own a home, provide for their families, and quietly give to the poor with the corrupt engine of Babylon is a massive overreach.
@monta2__ I never said total isolation. I said a self sufficient, city on a hill where we labor for each other instead for money. Can’t have 2 masters.
The blood on our hands bothers me enough to create that. I don’t know why Christians aren’t bothered.
Why should the world believe in Jesus if the people nagging them about Jesus don’t?
If you really believe you have died to the world, if you really are living for the kingdom, there is no better way to prove it than renouncing power and wealth.
