Why God not Pleased with Practices with Christ Still on the Cross?
About Us | Link to Quick Truths | Topics Never Known Before
It’s high time to take this matter up. God finds this as “flawed intimacy.”
• Unbelievable? Solution! • Why we write this way? • Why all Posts to be continued? • Why Truth Hurts?
INFORMATION NOT EMOTION
God’s religion is information … not emotion. God finds more value in a spiritually informed person than a crying one. God’s matters involve understanding, not feelings. Sentimentality was already absorbed by Christ’s sufferings.
A Moving God
As humans trying to reach God, relate to Him and reconcile with Him, we need to know Him “more and more” in order to know how to deal with Him appropriately. In fact, God is a dynamic Being, and so He is not inert. He is a “move-on” Being.

To those with ears to hear (Matthew 11:15) . . . Truth hurts and so anything that won’t hurt is false.
God wants new stories, new things especially new understanding notwithstanding them defying long-held beliefs. God wants us to grow in grace and knowledge about Him which is “progressive worship” and spiritual in nature, a kind He likes so much:
“God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24, Berean Study Bible).
OLD STORIES: Hindrance to Human Spiritual Growth and Advancements
The death and resurrection of Christ had already been long past event even thousands of years ago that need not be repeatedly rehearsed or resurrected daily or yearly, or so, saying “Lord sorry for my sins that made you suffer.” We declared that already before and God heard and believe it. Saying it again over and over amounts to insincerity when we first pronounced it. God hates repetitive statements (biblical).
God’s Reprimands
“You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen” (2Peter 3:17-18, NLT). (Underline to emphasize supplied by us),
Future Orientedness
Christ expects us to rather look forward to the future Kingdom events and learn what truly His sufferings were all about and where it would lead us. For example, look at Christ as He is now:
John saw Him, but not as a crucified Jesus
“When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance” (Rev 1:12-16, NLT).
Daniel saw Him first, as powerful Being
“As my vision continued that night, I saw someone like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence. He was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. His rule is eternal—it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed” (Daniel 7:13-14, NLT).
There are thousands of new spiritual facts yet to know. Human churches need to find them out and move on, or they remain static and antique, overtaken by times and made irrelevant by scientific advances.
By nature, between beings, learning and knowing more about each other give the opportunity to realize how much goodness a partner is to the other tending the development of more love and strengthening relationships. This is true with God.
Sin is Defined: 180 Degrees Opposite
How sin can be defined in this stance. To fail to grow in grace and knowledge (2Peter 3:17-18, NLT) is sin. And so, as premised above, sin has its true meaning as going contrary against what God wish for or plans. This makes sense why it is said over in this Site just how much we, humans, have sinned, falling short of the glory of God, going to as far as the farthest at 180 degrees away from God.
“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard” (Romans 3:23, NLT).
Anyone who sins has everything done falsely and so bad. And we are such people:
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good” (Luke 18:19, NLT).
Interestingly, Christ even as the Son of God turned human included among humans in all humility, something we ought to additionally know about Christ in the process of growing in understanding.
COVID19: Disgraceful Acceptance
The pandemic which humanity is now in is the latest and best example showing how much human religion has nothing to contribute to face human problems squarely. Human problems are spiritual in nature which human religions are not capable of catering amid materialism.
Covid19 subjects everyone to comply including the highly acclaimed religions. But why are they rather just easily subjected to such scientific protocols required along with the ordinary practices which protocols instituted by the civil but reasonable governments? It’s quite absurd. Is science beating religion? This alone should awaken us.
