Sunday Sermon 2

 

Christ. Messiah. Anointed one. Christian's around the world worship and they try to follow Christ's teachings as best they know-how. Jews are still waiting for their Messiah to come. Catholics worship with inherited tradition. Several Protestant Ministries are history-rich as well. The Mormons claim a modern revelations possession as do the Jamillians of Corsolorgy. Is Christ Waldo. Appearing everywhere he is claimed to have been at work while still eagerly awaited by the Jews? 

Is Christ the Good Shepherd leading his flock to still waters and green pastures while protecting them from the natural predators still lurking about. Is Christ the lawgiving tyrant that forbids certain relationships and certain sex acts in particular in addition to naturalism or being naked with one's friends and family. 

Is Christ the universal truth of natural science law that rules everything into place and assigns values to everything within your knowledge of this vast eternal body? Is Christ the just judge that knows the two extremes of Liberty to be too much or anarchy, or too little and tyranny? Perfect Liberty is the balance between these extremes. Or is Christ just the textbook scripture, or Gospel Truth only, with no intention to rule by Perfect Liberty's law rather than his own decrees?

Is Christ the Saviour of suffering humanity lost in their sins full of forgiveness for the follies sin prone humans get into? Is Christ the Judge with plenty of Grace to share with those that come before him because his law is to be harmless, or if it is harmless it is legal, or yet another way - liberty to all harmless acts? A peasant could remember such a legal code it is so simple. 

Is Christ a Hellraiser to whom love means to obey and is he going to fill his hell with all who do not obey his every law? Is Christ going to laugh at all the so-called saved as fools who stumbled and thought that a God-King could be forgiving instead of filling his hell with all those who ignore his rules? 

Is Christ the Heavenly Father to his Creation, the Lord their maker and giver of life? Does Christ provide for creation all it needs like a loving parent in Heaven raining its blessings upon them? Is Christ concerned with creation as much as any loving parent, not just a good shepherd alone? Or is Christ just another masked role played by spiritually gifted masters in their leadership of humanity from darkness to light?

Is Christ King Forever, the eternal ruler of his creation library? Does Christ really live forever and come back to life when he chooses to die? Is Christ similar to so much of his vegetation in creation that only appears dead then revives showing he was not entirely dead at all? Or is eternal life a hopeful myth based on vegetations apparent death defiance every winter by coming back the next spring? 

Is Christ the invisible god everywhere is inside, the great all container? Is Christ infinity alive and a mind that realized itself as a god? Is Christ everywhere you go and have been? Is Christ with everyone even now? Or is that just an invisible friend for grown-ups to comfort them that God is always present in their lives?  

Is Christ someone you could use more education about and need to get to know more if he is the Living God that created the Heavens and the Earth...         

Sunday Sermons 1

 

God bless us, everyone, please, and welcome to Sunday Sermons. This is my first Sunday Sermon. I am a licensed minister though I have not completed a course of formal training to be a minister. I simply am a license holder with plenty to share. I may even have the gift of knowledge as I asked God for it several decades ago and grew aware life was like a dream or a vision in Godhead. Everything seemed as easily controlled by God as simply as thinking... Lately, I view Creation by visualization as the explanation of where we came from.

My first sermon was inspired by my personal demons. You know, those thoughts that infest your head with ideas of inadequacy, fear, failure, and doubts of a good God existing responsible for our welfare and afterlife. The type of thoughts that remind you of your shortcomings, past mistakes, and current falling short of the prescribed measures of a good person.

I was thinking about how lucky I am to have been freed by the Truth from the letter of the word to the Spirit of righteous liberation to the law of Perfect Liberty.  I was enjoying myself, knowing there's hardly anything I could do to annoy God under this law, just a lot called sin by the book, some of which acts I still indulge in. The troublesome thoughts inject doesn't God forbid that, isn't it called sin, aren't you a hypocrite and you're going to burn in Hell! I answered today, you must have me mistaken with someone not grounded in the truth of liberty to all harmless acts being allowed and anyone so forbidding in judgment being a tyrant. You must think I am ignorant and dumb enough to be scared back to the bondage of law and snares and stumbling blocks of the letter of the word. 

As I was celebrating in my mind another victory over the ministry of death and its slavery to laws, I felt upset; so many were still in bondage. Then I imagined how great it would be if only in tomorrows sermon the Priest or Deacon introduced the law of perfect liberty from James 1:26 and 2:12, or the warning from God in Jeremiah 6:21, or the reminder from John 8:30-32 that we shall know the truth then be set free by the truth. I knew how happy I would be to be referred to Romans 14:14 to Titus 1:15 for a good spiritual cleansing of my mind and directed to Micah 6:8 for guidance,

I knew the above would be cause to celebrate the spirit ministering life, but I did not expect to hear that after two thousand and so years, the Church came out of the closet and let the cat out of the bag. The Church is Christ's body on earth, but he did not tell them to spread the truth everywhere liberally in his instructions. He gave a far simpler mission. Baptism and Salvation, basically.

God may have given such a simple ministry to his human representatives because he is the living God who can fill in the details of the kingdom and a faithful life himself. He was not dead two thousand years ago, or our faith is in vain. He can confirm my gift is right is my sincere belief. I have to be suspicious, too, that some know this already. The news does not report miracles, and big-city radio shows do not play Christian music, so plenty goes unheard of if a living faith works miracles even now.

To answer a question often enough poised by my personal demons of how do you know you are not the one stumbled I reply what sets you free like the spirit of the law and what binds one to death and hell but the letter of the word... God does not want any of his precious creations to perish, yet that rascal son of perdition would rather teach there is no god, gifts, and salvation to eternal life than to admit any of it.

History...

History. The story of creation or evolution or both? Perhaps The Bible historian wrote Genesis as a poetic narrative about God being the Creator but did not intend literal interpretation. Perhaps only poetic rendering of the Creation fact was the intention.

Maybe the scientific inquiry into the archeological and astronomical records is not all Satanic nonsense. Maybe the records are not all untrustworthy. Maybe the deception is to believe no such thing as evolution guided by God happened or that, in other words, the Big Bang happened all on its own. 

What if the Creation stories of our ancestors were all distant echoes of an event that we share in common with all Creation? What if the Heavens and the Earth are filled with the works of God? What if the beauty of nature and the genius of humanity all reflect God's gifts to His Creation?

History, even religious, historical narratives, were all written by men, whether inspired by God or using the scientific methods of inquiry humanity now has in its employ. Humanity is not perfect yet. Their records may be biased or otherwise distorted. National pride may color all public and religious schools' histories.  Everyone wants to be number one to their audience.

History, some may argue, was written the sages, performed by the seers, and filled with Creations of God. Some may add that God has a family life to help create and harvest the worth of His works. Some may even think it may not always be the best of all possible worlds, but there is the Heavenly Father in Heaven's blessings and promises.
