ps..edited Title..original was "my beef with Custodians of the GOSPEL".. i'm refering to those with responsibility to teach God's word..


Pardon me.. i'm trapped in an office with nothing to do.. so let me just vent here.


I'v always been baffled by this quote:


..It is wise to say upfront all this is based on the Bible..which to me is God's word.

That said..in my daily walk in this life of a believer.. i have come to realize that
God made man..that he could express his love and fellowship to man.. sin was not a factor..so is living "right"..satan brought sin..tricked man off his dominion..and shackled him to sin..God lost fellowship with man..and begun a process to restore man back.. Dominion in and over earth is man's..not spirits..not angels..not animals..but man..authority is right to wield that dominion..
Satan..angel..spirit..rebelled against God..lost everything angelic..tricked man to give him Dominion/authority..hence an agent (Agency Law?) of man..hid under man..God cannot destroy satan without destroying man..as long as satan is in contract with man.. God is spirit..dominion in earth was expressly given to man..so in a sense..God is bound by his own word..will NEVER contradict himself..seeks to get man's dominion from satan..only man can do that..of self will..Hence Jesus Christ..
1 john 3:8..for this purpose the son of God was manifest..to DESTROY the works of satan..

That being done..all dominion in heaven and earth is with Jesus..satan powers are wasted..damn thug deserves not to live..
ukiona yeye weka tyrE!! NKT!

SO..all this happened that God would have man restored to former estate..of love and fellowship with him..

so, in comes preachers and pastors, the Custodians of the Gospel.. and all they teach is "God is broken hearted, angry..totally incensed and looking to the day to pour wrath on man!! so RePEnt..be saved..you won't go to hell.. and be careful..if you sin..you DIE!!..and GO TO HELL> GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT 200!!"

..Eternal life..they defined as life with no end. DUH!! of course!..even non belivers have life with no end!!..but what did Christ mean by the phrase?

There's pretty little difference between an outright heathen and a nowadays Christian..nothing i Tell you..both hungry..both broke..both sick..both dead-men walking..both hate politicians.. ... ..i thought "Gospel" meant, and rightly so, " The Good news"... unfortunately..there is nothing good news worthy in our lives!

we take tragedies, accidents, death, calamity as God sent..a loved one dies..we claim somberly, "God loved him more".. How now? My english..as pointed by Ms Kenya in a different thread..is pretty much limited.. but i know what "GOOD" means..and if GOD is good..infinitely good..plus a father in literal meaning of the word..then tell me i ask..even in a vagabond-heathenious-barbaric home..would a father smite a child with sickness for ,well, i don't know, forgot to read the bible, would u break your daughters leg for being mean to her brother?...

GoodNESS!!!!.. the crap we blame God for!! AAAiii!!.. soon u'll hear a prophet declare GOD smote Japan for not hearing Him!! AJE SASA??? which god is this?..coz trully..the God in the Bible..has no mood swings..and doesn't delight in smighting people..

Anyway..Eternal life..for which Christ died..



Christianity has been in kenya over 100 years and nobody ever saw that? how now?

..i think the worst thing done by the custodians of the Gospel was to teach fear,Hell and wrath of God..
..rather than relationship with God..To know God is why Christ died..restore u to a fellowship with God..forgiveness..holiness..righteousness..spirit filled lives..heaven..blessings come with the package..coz that's what He is..you gain them from exposure to God...they are NOT A MEANS TO GOD...when you Know Him..they manifest in you..

unfortunately..we are a generation too lazy to seek God for ourselves..we want someone to do it for us..read the bible for us..pray for us..we've made preachers demi gods.. CrAP!!

as a result we have a generation of believers totally trapped in guilt..completely scared of God and cannot trust His love..goodness..grace..a generation that has exalted fear of sin and hell above God..a generation more conversant with satan n judgment than with Christ.. sometimes i wanna slap a pastor!

The reason people hate christians..is we don't know our God... and that's just too sad..
coz if we did..disease..poverty..lack in our lives.. psychological or otherwise wouldn't be. We observe piety and holiness and justice as a means to manipulate and commandeer GOD..we arm twist Him to bless us and castigate anyone with views contrary to ours..
Yap..God is broken hearted..at just how selfseeking we are..

and of venting.

proverb wewe uko na beef nyingi.....si you summarise the thing!!!

If you want peace of mind/soul...wacha maswali mingi..Wewe na Mungu ni kwa Roho yako!

@ProverB

Are you trying to question God? Well, there is your answer...

Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

@Proverb, I like that ability to question the 'unquestionable' not God. Keep searching.
Another example - In death same pardox - ati 'God took him (slum dweller) to a better place(heaven)',but you have the Kibera residents crying inconsolable on his departure to a better place...hmmm...wait for it here it comes...
