Childhood Joy Theology versus Fatal Doctrines: Beware of Killjoy Preachers! (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

SPIRITUAL JOY Yes, we are able to regain our childhood joy, and then some! Jesus says that we can even learn to leap for joy BECAUSE someone lied about us! Now that is way above our childhood joy. (Luke 6:22, 23) Spiritual joy is the essence of Christianity. It is THE PATHFINDER FOR WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO! Jesus, the Apostle John and the Apostle Paul all said the purpose of their preaching was to help people be full of joy (John 15:11; II Corinthians 1:24; and I John 1:4). Thus, spiritual joy is the highest value in the Bible. Love is our work (yes, love is work) and joy is our reward EVERY TIME we obey the voice of Jesus! THE LONG-NEEDED TEARING DOWN OF EVERYTHING! Legitimate Biblical doctrine is obligated to explain the path of spiritual joy. Since there is NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, ZIPPO, NOT A SHRED of substance about joy in American theology, they are indeed killjoy doctrines. Look at any church doctrine and see how joy is treated as an elusive mythical creature, if it is mentioned at all! Just reading those theologies is usually enough to kill our joy. Further, theologies that claim to be reasonable have no working definition of reason nor do they comprehend relevant facts about joy. The definition of reasonableness that God uses in Isaiah 1:18 is: the willingness to add facts to your mind's picture of reality. This book, in all probability, is THE FIRST RELEVANT BIBLICAL DOCTRINE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN! Because if it is not Extreme Joy Theology, it is NOT relevant theology! Most American churchgoers are altruists, on the outside of Christianity looking in. They dwell in fortresses of unreasonable ideas, doing whatever they think is right in their own mind. Seeking God and getting to know Him would just make them different from everyone else in their congregation. Simply put, they are L-O-S-T, lost, because God does not draw His line between Christians and non-Christians; He draws His line between Seekers and Dwellers! Dwellers study the Bible only if they can continue to believe exactly what they already do believe. They will not welcome any new facts that would force them to revise their mind's picture of what exists. Their hatred for thinking about the all-important moral laws God has written into everyone's mind (Hebrews 10:16) has hindered discovering spiritual breakthroughs. Another requirement for experiencing Extreme Joy is hating religious altruism, hating fatal doctrines and hating religious deadness as explained in Hebrews 1:9. (Hate the lifelessness but love the person.) Sanctification from religious deadness brings heartwarming deliverance as well as joy. All religious narratives are duty-bound to preach true sanctification and to denounce hypocrites the way Jesus did. The ancient Greeks were constantly concerned about "what it is that we ought to do." Again, there is NOT ANYTHING in church doctrines about what we ought to do. And why should there be? All church fatal doctrines say, "Do whatever we tell you to do and believe whatever we tell you to believe." They say absolutely nothing about doing what the voice of Jesus (John 10:27) tells us to do! Instead, they require everyone to check their reasoning faculties at the church door and never pick them up again. These doctrines are ALL ETERNALLY FATAL because "reason" is a necessity for salvation! (Isaiah 1:18)

Autorenporträt

I was born into a Methodist family. I joined them every Sunday in going to a small country church in Illinois until I left for college at age 18. That was in 1968. In college I enjoyed studying the Bible with other college-age Christians. Studying the Bible changed my understanding of Christianity. Unlike everyone I knew in my church, I wanted to find God and His Love.

When I did find God and His joy in 1971, no one in my "dead church" wanted me to be different. There was no love there, so I left. However, I was so excited about my independent life in Christ, I traveled regularly to meet other Christians. I fellowshipped with every Christian group that I came across, especially in Illinois, Florida, Texas and Arizona. The early 70's was a blessed time in America.
