Sigh.... Christ has not yet returned. The world is still run by the devil.
1 John 5:19) We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
You don't quite have your spiritual ducks in a row, ElderChild.
Your foolish talk and jesting reveals the spirit that moves you ;-(
If you ever experience The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth" let me know.......
THY Kingdom HAS Come!
And IS Heavenly!
The brethren of The Messiah, "the sons of GOD", are in and of The Family of "Our Father and GOD", and so it is that we choose to be but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth", for we have realized that our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven"?
Why would "aliens and pilgrims" create a system of religion, or love this wicked world and it's things?
Why would we love our own(self,ego,id,"I") life in and of this wicked, evil world, especially when it is promised that "whoever loves his life in this world will lose it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it unto Life Eternal"? (John12:25)
And so it is that we continue to sound The Call of "Our Father and GOD" as we exhort others to "Come Out of her, MY people!"
"Come Out" of the systems that are of this wicked, evil world(babylon) and especially it's systems of religion!
Be of those who "forsake all," "Yes! and their own life also", just as The Messiah did!
Be of those who tarry in, yet are not of, this wicked, evil world!
"Aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" indeed and Truth, for soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!
Till then:
Father Help! and HE does.......
Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(religion) that is of this wicked world, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth.......(1John5:19)
Thankfully Truth IS, a lie never was, and is not.......
Abide in Truth....... francis
