My 17 year old son Michael and I had a late night conversation one night after he had a revelation of what I have been teaching and wanted to share it with me. I have all the time encouraged my kids to fabricate personal relationships with God apart from their church activities and other people's opinions.
He made an analogy of the current state of the church that I concept was revelation from God. His analagy went something like this:
Original Intent
He likened his connection with God to a connection with a girlfriend - (He's still a teenager). He said the way he saw it was that if he were trying to court a girlfriend and an additional one person got involved to mediate their connection that there would be mass blurring and misunderstanding which would ultimately ruin the connection - The theorize being that he would be hearing their biased interpretation or misinterpretation of what she was trying to carry to him and she would hear the same type of distorted messages. It just couldn't work!
His point was that if I hadn't encouraged him to seek God on his own (with advice of course) and fabricate a personal connection with Him, that he would all the time see God through the distorted views of the mediators (leaders in the church).
Now not all leaders have a thoroughly distorted view of God, but whatever in the middle will ultimately mess up the connection if the connection were totally dependent on the mediator and not a personal experience.
To give an additional one analogy, there was a document created in 1787 called the Constitution of the United States of America. As more and more time passes from the time that document was created the insight of the customary intent of our founding fathers becomes more and more distorted...
Now I am not trying to make a political statement here I just think that this is a near example of how the intent of an customary author can be misunderstood over time and depending on who's doing the interpreting can come to be thoroughly distorted!
If the founding fathers were alive today and were to take a look at what is going on in 2009 in America in reference to what they intended, I think that their first response would be amazement at how far this country has come in just over 200 years. But I also think our government might have an additional one revolution on their hands when they realized what we have done in reference to their customary intent. Remember, a bloody revolution by an independent people resulted in the creation of this document!
By the same token if the founding fathers of the church were alive and were to take a look at the health of the church today, they wouldn't recognize it as the same church and freedoms that they gave their lives for.
We should expose the myths for people like you and me who love God and are interested in truth apart from denominational flares and customary interpretations. We should do allowable interpretation without the bias of the society of the church and seek to find the customary intent of the Holy Spirit as He inspired the customary writers of the bible.
God intended for his people to be thoroughly free from religious pressure, guilt, and shame produced by mixing the law with grace. And there is a clear unlikeness between execution based Christianity and living in connection with God that is clearly spelled out in the New Testament.
Jesus gave the greatest price to give us redemption and free time but it's up to us to seek out the truth and sense what Jesus has already in Case,granted for us!
Let's contemplate these truths together and find the customary intent of God when He gave all that He could perhaps give to set us free from fear, strife, and the curse of the law as described in Galatians 3.
To your free time and success!

Not only do you get from your understanding of life, which means that if your report refers to other souls. To see the other as a means to accept that they are all under one roof. You would not lift a hand against your brothers and sisters, as a struggle. True love all the other shots together and if you understandthe purpose of life, you will see there is no profit to be considered at their expense. The problem for eons of time, which was taught to put themselves first in the quest for survival. The survival of the fittest and strongest is the law of the jungle, and not for people who have the potential to become a god. They are powerful creatures that have reached the level of competence, have in Christ Consciousness. What you have in the cycle of duality is only a shadow of your true self. However, it wasalso find a lot of experience negativity in your light, but with the intention to move managed to find the true path. Have progressed at a rapid pace in this life, is now ready to make a leap forward. Instead of despair and little hope, it was determined that the true path is the promise of return to higher levels of light. The earth has its attractions, but paradise is not found in smaller sizes. All you have to...
