Everyone is talking about God . God this ....God that .Who ,what the hell is God .Can anyone explain ....please >
Only I can judge God. I isyou if you choose to be.
Using the term --- I am heremeans you. This applies to all of us. You are ( I ) to you as I am I to me.Only you then can judge the God construct that you see as you evaluate what youknow of God.
Jesus said that at the end ofdays he would return. He meant in spirit only. Not a physical manifestation. Healso said that the time of the end was at hand and that the temple of God waswithin each of us. The tern spirit represents, the spirit of the law, what iswritten in the hearts, ---- God in other words, ---- is defined as laws andrules and such as they are the only thing you can follow at all times, ---- andthese are set by you and you are in effect ruling yourself in terms offollowing the God construct you have developed.
Jesus is telling you that youand your heart are the only things of importance in terms of leadership as itis the rules you have accepted as worthy of following. Jesus warned that at endtimes there would be a number of Jesus’ to choose from and morality is what youwill have to choose from.
That is why I think itimportant to evaluate what Jesus said and determine if it is worthy and moralor not.
Jesus Christ. Madman orsomething worse.

Below, Bishop Spong speaks ofbasically redefining Christianity. Going from a church or religious thinking,to a more spiritual or heart felt thinking. I also urge Christianity to changebecause it is now too immoral to ignore with today’s mentality. It’s overallpolicies are immoral in my view. The God of war must die and Jesus declared thefull and only God that is required and that the noble lie of politics should berevoked to let all know that the God you likely know was always a myth. This may be a good time for you tocontemplate such a move as many Christians haves rejected the O.T. God and onlyfocus on Jesus and loving policies.
Bishop Spong speaks well tothis issue.

Apotheosis means justrecognizing that you are on a journey of being your own God. Some few will havehelp from God on this through a real apotheosis but only the very few it seems.You cannot get away from that fact so you may as well forget about fantasy,miracles and magic. They were never real and you are the strongest force youwill ever know. After all, who but you can make you want to do anything voluntarily?There is no other force that can do this and therefore you are God in the realsense of being master of yourself. If that does not compute with you thenremember that A & E became as Gods, God’s own words, and yours is the same birthrite. Throw it away if you wish. You cannot reject the knowledge of good andevil so I cannot fathom why you would throw away the fact that you as well canbecome as Gods.
The moral of Jesus and hissacrifice is that we should accept being God, and ruling ourselves even againsta government if needs be. Become archetypal Moses and face government anddeclare that it faces one as great as itself. That is what being a free man isall about.
The time of the end is when Jesusbecomes your God on earth, ---- again this is you, --- who takes the place ofthe mythical heavenly God of war. Jesus/you, as the way, the man’s way ofjudging first, not some absentee God’s unknown standard. Your covenant withyourself is to be the new covenant. Man answering to man and himself. Not to someunknown God.
This clip from J. Haidt showsthat we instinctively share God’s morals. In this we are truly Gods andchildren of God.

I am God because I am theonly one who is capable of judging the God I know.
You are a God in your ownrite as you are the only one who is capable of judging the God you know.
The Noble Lie is firmly inplace and manipulating your thinking. Discard it. In this day and age we do notneed it the way we may have in the past.
The Noble Lie.
In politics a noble lie is amyth or untruth, often, but not invariably, of a religious nature, knowinglytold by an elite to maintain social harmony or to advance an agenda.
As a Gnostic Christian, thistheology/philosophy is quite natural to me and can be for all people.
Try thinking as the God thatyou are. Stop being a sheep and rise to your true inheritance as a shepherd.That is the message Jesus wants you to recognize.

P.S.
Listen to Jesus and hear forthe first time in your life.
Ps 82:6 I said, "You aregods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.
Hosea 1:10 Ye are the sons ofthe living God.
Do you think that sons of Godare destined to be sheep or shepherds?
Jesus was here to empower us.Not enslave us. Do not waste what he gave.
Somewhere back here its suggested French Patriot that you and I would not be at odds
regarding religion. I said the conservatives took over Christianity from the one who did
most of the work to keep it alive. That means Rome before Constantine was a vast right
wing fascist state. Yes conservatives have taken over it does not mean religion has now
become evil it just means the conservatives have difficulty reconciling their positions
from that which Christ taught. His teachings if you read them were actually a mixture of
left and right. Its the apostles that defined these positions after his death.
We now have four versions of the Bible New Testament. This quite frankly was done to
ensure the Church survived as the four main figures fought for control of the church.
There are according to some nearly two dozen Gospels ones like Timothy which were
farther to the left in viewpoint. Others of course would balance this. They are apparently
locked in the Vatican.
This means the church turned from faith to politics. Constantine used the new faith to save
Rome the instant conversion thing. In the twelfth century it changed again as Pope Gregory
Sold shares into Heaven for donations to Build the present Papal Structures in Rome.
We have King James version and others along the way and my question is what ever really
happened to Jesus version that has somehow been written over.
You some how want to make every passage a thing of evil and I believe people will fear what
they don't understand and fear leads to misconceptions, sometimes hate and God knows what
else. You know where to find the words to condemn but somehow you lack the understanding
of the words. No I don't think we would have too much in common and I am not all that religious.
You asked of Jesus' message. I gave what I think it was just above.
Thinking the way I do, I do not have much in common with most as most will not put the effort into thinking that I do.
Mine is a matter of pride in trying to never be wrong.

How many dozens of times have I seen that question? God doesn't work that way. The world was pretty well set up to run perfectly, with systems in place to balance things off as they get out of whack. God doesn't concern himself with the individual but rather with trends. As long as you don't buck established trends you are probably fairly safe, but nothing is for certain because we can't predict what other members of the human race are going to do.
Yuk. Don't buck the system indicates that the system is good.
Would you tell Rosa Parks to not buck the system and get to the back of the bus?
Would you tell A & E to not eat of the tree of damned near all knowledge and stay as bright as bricks?
