For years now I have been trying to teach what I believe God revealed to me, the importance of beginning to trust His Word.
I now believe that teaching ‘how to begin’ is no more difficult than teaching a child ‘how to begin’ to ride a bike. What has become clearly evident is how difficult it is to overcome the misleading ideas churches have spawned over centuries. I found these ideas led me on a path far from anything I had already learned to trust in life. How was I supposed to believe the things I heard in church? It seemed to me that ‘faith’ the way churches portrayed it, was to accept what ever a pastor said as absolutely true, whether or not it made sense. To declare you believe it on his biblical reading and interpretation only, became the way to prove to yourself and others that you have ‘faith’ and are saved.
Churches have held a position of authority and, the only way to God, for several thousand years gaining tremendous wealth and power world wide.
The trouble with church teaching and preaching today is everything taught is what someone else has said, or interpreted, or declared. In our lives though, we do not develop faith or confidence in what others say or do but what we ourselves experience.
In the Bible book of Jeremiah, God clearly says He will write His Laws in our heart and our mind so that no man shall call upon his brother or neighbor saying ‘know the Lord’ for they all shall know me from the greatest to the least. This means that it is through our mind and our heart that we will know the Lord, NOT that we will know the Lord by what a pastor says in church.
Churches are made up of good people. They do good things, sing songs of love to the Lord, declare their faith, yet churches have robbed them of the kind of faith that comes from experiencing God’s Word in their own lives. Instead, churches give faith away to anyone like it is theirs to give, telling them anything they want about a persons faith when in fact they know nothing of someone else’s faith. Only using God’s Word and the laws He wrote in our heart and mind to guide our decisions in life can create faith in His Laws and His Word.
kootenay unchurch.com (KU) teaches how to get in touch with what God wrote in our own mind and heart. Aside from the Bible it is the only unaffected source of knowledge about God, and the only knowledge a person can trust in these last days. KU will be highlighting the things churches do and say that I believe are constantly affected by Satan’s influences, deceiving all away from true faith in God’s Word.
The second letter Paul wrote to the Corinthians declared that the god of this world ‘Satan’, has blinded the eyes of the unbelievers so that they cannot see light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God. Satan’s influence affects everyone and everything, even churches.
KU teaches how to begin trusting God’s Word through the use of what He says He wrote in the Bible, on our own mind, and our own heart.
Today’s churches bear the effects of Satan’s influences as much as anything else and can be unwittingly used to deceive people away from the only thing required by God; true faith.
