Opis

God is infinite energy plus the sum total of all the energies in the universe, visible and invisible; thermal, nuclear, sonic, light, magnetic, electrical, chemical, potential, hydrostatic, and all of the other forms of energy known and unknown. And Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is "Christ in us," because Jesus Christ comes into us and dwells in us when we accept Him into our lives. And by Christianity, I mean, establishing a relationship with, and having fellowship with Jesus Christ --- that is, in case Christianity means other things to other people. And by coming to Jesus Christ, we receive life. Christianity is LIFE, because Jesus Christ is Life and comes to live in us when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. And He told us in the Bible "I come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly." So when you come to Christ, you've come to LIFE. And you'll have life more abundantly. How then did we get from life to religion? Just like the Israelites before us, we took the perfect gift of God and turned it into man-made activities, designed more to gain glory for ourselves than to give glory to God. Religion is not about God. Religion is an attempt to imitate God. But nobody should imitate God for God detests such behavior. In the Book of Isaiah He says, "I am the first and I am the Last; apart from me there is no God. Who then is like me? ..." (Isaiah 44:6-7). And He had decreed ruin for entities that are set up to imitate Him, and for those who mislead innocent people through their deceptive practices. The religions of the world have actually caused more destruction to human lives than has anything else in the world. Because religion positions itself as an alternative to God, it attracts many who are hurting and fervently looking for God. Then, it thwarts their hopes, and leaves them in worse shape than they were before they came to it. Religion misleads people; it exploits people and blocks people from receiving the real gift that God gave freely to all, out of His great mercy and love for humanity. That is why the Bible says: "Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belong to it, do you submit to its rules: 'Do not handle Do not taste Do not touch ?' "These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." (Colossians 2:20-23). According to the passage, religion is based on human commands and teachings. They are set up to worship something that someone envisioned that no one has ever seen or interacted with. The people who put them together have not even seen the object of their worship, but they make others believe they are real, and make them commit their loyalty to them. Most religious worships are 'self-imposed worships' and involve 'false humility' and 'harsh treatment of the body'. These are designed to trick worshippers into thinking they are making sacrifices necessary to appease a powerful deity. But in reality, the object of their worship is dead and has no powers what so ever. But because there is Satan and the fallen angels, unusual powers can be mustered by anyone who is insidious enough to possess them. Satan and his gang could take positions among the fake faith practices, and create illusions for the people involved. Satan was granted the power of deception by God, to provide a back drop on which God can demonstrate His infinite Might. And God increases Satin's powers to whatever level He so desires so He could manifest His own greatness beyond what the deceiver has mounted. Satan does not shy away from opportunities to take credit away from God. Christians have not done enough to let the light of God shine in the souls of men and women in the world. We need to be s
