But if I have to, i hope i would do it gently.<\/p>\n<p>What i see as dangerous&#8230;the temptation of false christianity. It&#8217;s very easy to embrace the false. For the world is under the prince of darkness. And what he offers, what our flesh crave. Basically&#8230;.we all like the feel good, think good, be good message. Hence it&#8217;s very easy to put it that Christianity is all about Jesus. Jesus is good, says good thing, done good things&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.hence follow Him means do good, say good, and be good thing&#8230;&#8230;and life would be good. This i think the kind christianity which is very dangerous. It appeals to the old man, but miss the point. It&#8217;s actually talking about Jesus, but making him our excuses&#8230;that we can still live and do our own lives, what we like, etc.<\/p>\n<p>As i read my Bible again, from Old till New testament&#8230;.from the angels, prophets, even Jesus&#8230;&#8230;all of them points to one thing..GOD. God&#8217;s mission, God&#8217;s decree, God&#8217;s name, God&#8217;s agenda, etc&#8230;..They&#8217;re all very zealous about God. The prophet speak of God&#8217;s word regardless the cost. The angels speak of God&#8217;s glory and majesty. Jesus himself is full of God&#8217;s mission&#8230;.to accomplish what he was sent to. He didn&#8217;t try to be good man, or say good thing, or thinking positvely. All about him, is to please God.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very stark contrast with the christianity being offered nowdays. Full of Jesus \/ God on the outside, but on the inside, is full of self. Self pleasure, self-indulgence, self-glory, self-seeking, self-fulfillment, etc&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a short conversation this afternoon &#8230; I got a feeling that if this should continue&#8230; would eventually lead to what&#8217;s consider as true christianity.
