UNCHALLENGED BELIEFS BECOME FACTS

UNCHALLENGED BELIEFS BECOME FACTS SOME BELIEVE WHAT IS NOT TRUE FOR FEAR IT MIGHT BE. As a Christian for 54 years I had an unshakable belief in hell. One year ago, without fear, I challenged my 54-year-old belief in hell. I put aside all my previous traditional opinions about hell and using scriptural and historical evidence I concluded my study several months later. The consequence of my study led me to be born again and I became a son of God and for the first time in 54 years my carnal mind was replaced with the mind of Christ. I left being a natural man to become a spiritual man and with the ability to discern spiritual things. With the mind of Christ hell and H ades became clearly visible as a satanic deception and the true reason God sent Jesus to earth became factual. This challenging of my 54-year belief in hell began last year around April 2008. I made an observation about a belief that Christianity adamantly supports, If Jesus is not received for forgiveness of sins before death an everlasting burning torture in hell is permitted or is God s intention. My next observation was, Christians that tenaciously support this doctrine are not living to the expectations of what the word of God addresses. Just one example, Jesus is speaking, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the w orks that I do shall he do also; and greater w orks than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12 This verse is seldom taught, probably because pastors aren t in compliance. And another question, Christianity has been around for 20 centuries so why are the spiritual values in America, a Christian nation, in a geometric decline? And my personal observation: Christians that I have been involved with in business ventures did not live up to the integrity of non Christians. I believe these were sufficient thoughts to provoke and then to speculate. Have UNCHALLENGED BELIEFS OF CHRISTIANITY BECOME FACTS? 1

Now, for the rest of the story: An Ostrich is an African bird that cannot fly and hides its head in the sand to escape unpleasant situations. I rode an Ostrich in a race at an Orange County Fair in California and have first hand knowledge that this bird s belief borders on being unchangeable. The bird will not move if there is a sock over its head. And In the race I turned the bird by holding a broom on one side of his head and he turned in the opposite direction, most of the time. Now read what Isaiah spoke: Darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people. In your evaluation, does this describe the United States and the world? You can help, if you are a son of God, for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is upon you. The Lord and his glory shall be seen in you, if you are a son of God. Gentiles and kings w ill w ant w hat they see by your light. This is God s evangelism and what He planed when He sent Jesus to earth. Isaiah 60:1-4 Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is raised upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Your LIGHT describes a son of God emulating God s love. Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. These are the w orks of Jesus that sons of God continue. I John 1:5-7 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we 2

have fellow ship with him, and w alk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we w alk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son c leanses us from all sin. The kingdom of God is light and sons of God reflect light. Outside of the kingdom of God is the darkness of the w orld. There is no fellow ship w ith God in darkness. There is no fellow ship w ith God outside of the kingdom of God. Ephesians 5:14-17 Wherefore he said, Awake thou that sleeps, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming (rescue from loss and improve opportunity) the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. The will of the Lord is for sons of God, like Jesus, Teach the kingdom of God is at hand. Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming (rescue from loss and improve opportunity) the time. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (to the kingdom of God), that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and the perfect w ill of God. Becoming one of God s innumerable sons is the Perfect w ill of God Redeemed accurately translated means, Rescue from loss and improve opport unit y. God says, Jesus came to Redeem life now w hile living. Christianity says, Jesus came to Redeem life for after living. America s and the world s problems may have gone beyond re de e m ing because spiritual authority and power for two thousand years has been in the hands of Christianity. And in my sphere of influence I have observed zilch effort for Christians to change and become sons of God. And like Ostrich complacency, Christianity s self-righteousness continues to ignore the only solution and the true reason Jesus came to earth. 3

When Jesus returned to his Father he had finished everything he came for. Three years later Christianity, under the leadership of the Catholic Church, introduced a false, unscriptural, useless and powerless dogma of H ades as a location for eternal torment. Hades is a Greek god without mercy and charged a fee to escape purgatory. God sent Jesus to planet earth to establish the kingdom of God or heaven in earth for someone who is born again as a son of God. I know, N othing is impossible for God and I don t believe it is too late to comply with God s original purpose for sending His Son to earth. But repeating the failing efforts of Christianity and expecting different results is like an Ostrich avoiding the situation by hiding its head in sand. Or Christians refusing to change their perception about the reason Jesus visited earth. Two thousand years ago God sent Jesus to planet earth with a message, T he new w ine of My revised covenant is here and the kingdom of God is accessible now for victory over darkness. The legalistic, sin conscious, Pharisees had Jesus killed for his message of hope. Today in the year 2009, T he new w ine of God s revised contract is still available and w aiting to birth sons of God w ho enter the kingdom of God. And, as when Jesus was on earth, the legalistic and sin conscious Pharisees in the 21 st century cling to the doctrine of the Greek god Hades and refuse to consider the New Wine. And, U NCHALLENGED BELIEFS CONTINUE AS FACTS. This time there is a more urgent message, Within the kingdom of God, as Jesus spoke, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything you need will be supplied. Matthew 6:30 This is the new s that the w orld and especially America needs to hear. The kingdom of God is the message Jesus told his disciples to take to the world. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14 4

T he end shall come accurately translated, The things I prophesied shall come to pass. Please believe this statement, Jesus never said go into all the world and make Christians. The world hates America because Christians threaten foreign citizens with hell for not becoming Christians. Born again, sons of God and the kingdom of God message that Jesus came to earth has been aborted by Christianity. Jesus message had hope and comfort. condemnation. Christianity message has fear and The unchallenged belief that Nostradamus s prophecy for 2012 being the last year for earth needs to be canceled by not listening and repeating. Nostradamus was a Catholic Christian, and had no signs being a son of God, and there is no spiritual rationale to accept any of his prophecies being from God. Revelation s apocalyptic language, Nostradamus s prophecies and the Mayan calendar having no dates past 2012 are thoughts that create beliefs that create facts if left Unchallenged. The title of this article, U nchallenged Beliefs Become Facts should signal to cease thinking and examine something you don t want to happen. Nostradamus, a Catholic, was probably encouraged to prophesy his end of the world by taking the book of Revelation literally instead of in the apocalyptic language John wrote with. Are the legalistic, sin conscious, 21 st century Christians going to persist keeping God s real redemptive message concealed and allow Satan to continue taking more control of the world? America s and the world s problems are beyond humanistic solutions. Christianity s approach to reverse evil is to ask God and depend on an Old Covenant promise, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14. This has no meaning or purpose for anyone living after Jesus was resurrected. God replaced this Old Testament promise with a new and better one. This verse was for ones living under the Old Covenant. God realized that man with self-effort was unable to undo Adam s mistakes and take back, what Adam lost, c ontrol over the earth. 5

And for this reason, God sent Jesus, as the last Adam, to reverse the first Adam s mistakes and return control of the earth, not to Christians, but to sons of God as promised in the New Covenant. If you question this, then challenge your belief and wonder, I f Christians are in control w hy is everything so screw ed up? Your belief in hell will continue as long as you permit, U nchallenged beliefs to continue as facts. Belief in hell prevents being a son of God. Being a son of God prevents a belief in hell. Christians do not have authority or power to reverse the conditions in America or in the world. Christians continue to bury their beliefs, like the Ostrich buries its head, and depend on God to do what He has assigned sons of God responsibility. Sons of God are His representatives on earth and have authority and power to reverse America s sliding into communism. Again, I want to apologize for my bluntness. And again as I said before, it is not easy to send a polite and kind SOS from a sinking ship. This is a metaphor and I do not believe the conditions in the world are terminal. I am attempting to attract attention to what is not working in the spiritual arena with hopes for change into a dimension for victory. God is not a loser, but He has passed the baton to w in to His sons. DON T ALLOW AN UNCHALLENGED BELIEF TO CONTINUE AS A FACT. And as this article started let it begin to conclude: DON T BELIEVE WHAT IS NOT TRUE FOR FEAR IT MIGHT BE There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. I John 4:18 6

THE ENTITLEMENTS AND BENEFITS FOR SONS OF GOD If you are a Christian you have peace for going to heaven after you die. And any alteration to the promise of heaven after dying may impart fear about a future trip to heaven. It is the easy way out, to believe in something not true for fear it might be. God s counterpart of Faith is satanic Fear. I can say this because of my 54 years of feelings about hell. I investigated Jesus ministering to Nicodemus in John 3. After studying the few verses I decided if Jesus was speaking his first message to the leader of the Pharisees to be born again in order to enter the kingdom of God it must be significant. And 3 years later Jesus ended his ministry with the same message. This was so critical that I studied more about born again and eventually concluded this was the correct reason God sent Jesus to earth. God desired innumerable sons like Jesus in order to continue the works of Jesus. I was born again as a son of God. As a newborn son of God my mind instantly received an impartation of the mind of Christ and my perception of the spiritual including hell came into realism. This will sound strange but it is difficult to look back at my former view of hell without laughing at my 54 years of spiritual blindness. The benefits and entitlements for a son of God makes living like heaven in earth. I have replaced Adam s original sin of, judging, with love for everyone. My health has improved because every cell in my body is in perfect harmony and symphony with the perfect love of God. Only sons of God emulate the perfect love of God. My love for God has escalated and I am closer to Him than ever. I frequently call Him Daddy and we have a flow of communications. As a resident in the kingdom of God I am enjoying the righteousness of God, His peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. This duplicates the Garden of Eden. Immortality is more real than death because with the mind of Christ I have a correct perception of this promise of God, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. II Timothy 1:10 7

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Without the mind of Christ this verse says, After I die, if I believe in Jesus, I w ill go to heaven. With the mind of Christ this verse accurately translates, I f I believe in Jesus I w ill not perish or physically die and w ill have immortality. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I Corinthians 2:14 A natural man is not a son of God and has no understanding of spiritual truths, for an example, Jesus abolished death and restored immortality sounds foolish to a natural man. If you are not a son of God you can hear, J esus came as the last Adam to reverse the mistakes of the first Adam. The first Adam introduced physical death w hen he obtained or acquired the ability to judge betw een good and evil. After reading this as a natural man, Ostrich unchangeable mindset takes over. Hide my mind from the reality of this verse because it is not humanly logical. My opinion, Jesus came to earth with N ew Wine and the legalistic Pharisees had Jesus killed and the benefits of N ew Wine were hidden by Christianity substituting another reason for Jesus coming to earth. Now, with the world in crisis, God is again releasing New Wine through sons of God in order to bring light to the approaching darkness. Things that are normal w ill cease to dw ell, Residents in the kingdom of God w ill do w ell. chuck@godtruth.tv February 24 27, 2009 8
