Fact or Fiction: Easter Bunny? | Inside the Faith Loop
We have said this for some time now and we want to give some credit when we get things right. Why can’t we leave the paganism out and focus on the good news of Jesus the Anointed. We are coming upon one of the high holy days of Christianity, and the stores will be filled with candy and ways to color eggs. This to glorify the bunny as we focus more on the ritual and the paganism than we do on Jesus and why he came into the world. The writer of this article brings very good points to this, and I am finally glad to see someone standing up and saying so!! Yeah, we ditched the bunny many years ago, so we hope you will too.

Christian Nationalism? What is it? | Inside the Faith Loop
We are living in the abstract, where words define reality based upon whatever we want to be true. We have begun to hear this refrain concerning Christianity and the conservative political groups referred to as Nationalists. This is to engender in the population that Christianity has become nationalistic or fascist and beginning to link Christianity to the Nationalist parties of Germany and Italy. Changing the dialogue once again to fit the narrative of the knowledge of good and evil. We were called out of this war for knowledge and we must continue to preach the message of repentance for the remission of missing the mark.

The Dangers of Looking Back
Why did he encourage the people to do this.
What was the day he was speaking of? Some believe it speaks to the return of Jesus to the earth. I rather think it was speaking of the coming destruction of Jerusalem.
There was a lot of pressure exerted on everyone to rebel against Rome and one of the reasons the believers were persecuted was the fact they would not get involved in the resistance.
What was the importance of gathering together?

1st and 2nd Century writings, how did it shape Christianity?
Through the late first century and early into the middle second century the discourse of repentance had seemed to long since disappear from the preaching of the good news. Many of the records we have today are filled with apologies and writings against heresies. To understand what has happened, and how Christianity has been shaped into the institution it is, we have to look at those who shaped the culture and moved us to the adulteration with the man of lawlessness.

What is Wrong with Us? | Inside The Faith Loop
When you ask this question, you will get different answers depending upon the social construct of the individual you ask. The question then becomes how do we let go of the ologies we have created, whether secular or spiritual, to remove ourselves from the knowledge of good and evil? Removing ourselves from the war of good and evil is a very difficult task for us. Admitting what we have created on the earth as a matter of existence is wrong. We are all looking for the truth, let alone the ability to understand what is true. But the governments of kingdoms and nations have pursued the answer to this question through the ages. The problem is the pursuit has been through the knowledge of good and evil.

Actors on a Stage | Inside The Faith Loop
Do we know what is real anymore? Who is telling the truth? The media circus continues to bring us the facts, right? With so much media today how do we understand how to sift through all the noise? I believe we have come to a place in society where we have become so fragmented and divided by the knowledge of good and evil, we cannot see the truth. Have we become willing participants of the play? How do you remove the static so you can hear the truth? I would venture to guess that the majority of Christians in America or even around the world do not know what’s at the foundation of why they believe as they do. We are fed a steady diet of the devil is coming to get you, and a political rhetoric meant to engage people into determining the governing of a nation. Christianity in its different forms in the world hold different ologies!! This idea of understanding the gods is very old. The “how” is the part that gets cloudy and usually very vague. Faith has become the buzz or catch word for this thought process! You just have to believe! Believe WHAT!!

Is Idolatry Just a Graven Image?

Power to the People? | Inside The Faith Loop
Power is described as ability, strength, vigor, or might. No matter the dialect spoken this is how mankind defines power. From the halls of government, military, academia, industry and technology, power is defined by the controls, mastery, ability, or the right to command the nations. Use of authority to define what is legal and the right to authorize the definitions of existence. Here is where everything gets muddy. Below are three questions to ask yourself concerning the governments of mankind.
1.) Power! Which government gave you life?
2.) Authority! Who carries the authority to define existence on the earth?
3.) Who is the author of our existence?

The Love that Completes Me
When we understand the true love of our Father then we can understand what it means to be complete as our Father in heaven is complete. This is the message of Jesus and how he shows us the way to completion in truth, that brings life.

The Modern Political Weapons of Jihad & Crusades | Inside The Faith Loop
We read about the history of the crusades, when the Christians went to the Middle East to defend followers of the church in that region. Islam pushed back, and we have in my lifetime the common word used to describe the Muslim in their fight against the westerners, “Jihad”. What do we know in the west of Jihad? For that matter what do we know about the crusades? What is left of these two constructs of two of the three major faith groups of the world? How have they been used by the globalists to terrorize the world while fundamentally changing existence on the earth.

Iranian Christianity and Politics | Inside The Faith Loop
As we have been discussing Christianity and Politics, a few articles from Christianity Today and the Christian Post have caught my attention concerning Iran and Christianity. Today we want to discuss some current events and look at how Christians and leaders are continuing to enter the political fray and believe they will change the world. What is even more interesting is the lack of any discussion concerning the author and the finisher of our faith, Jesus the Anointed of Jehovah.

Understanding Being Born Again
Brother French discusses the necessity of what it means to be born again, and what has changed in the message of Jesus Christ in the world. We here so many voices except the one that is important, which is Jesus, who said to Nicodemus, "unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Politics & Nations | Imaging a New World | Inside The Fatih Loop
Anger and rage are the consequence of confusion and a lack of knowledge. Solomon said this in his proverbs. “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” (Verse 18, KJV) the question then becomes what is vision, and what did Solomon mean by vision? Again we understand the current condition of mankind by coming knowing that mankind’s mind is set in confusion by the pursuit of the knowledge of good and evil. We continue to remember the past and it continues to define our existence.

Entering the Political Arena? | Inside The Faith Loop
Have you noticed how much time is spent by Christian denominations talking about the governments of nations? David asked a similar question in this song he wrote. Christianity has decided that this song written by David is somehow a prophecy talking about Jesus. Why? David was writing about himself and the day he was living in. That is the trouble with Christianity, we do not exist in the present, we are either looking backwards or forwards. This makes it very difficult to understand the present.

First Century Christianity, What Do We Know? | Changing the Dialogue
What do we know about the first century body of believers? It has been approximately some two thousand years or better since Jesus ascended to the Father and sat at his right hand. Does the current “church” reflect those believers of the first century or have we become simply a caricature filled with bloated doctrine and rituals. The best record we have of those believers in the first century is the bible, and we have changed the dialogue so much, how do we recognize what is being said in these accounts passed done to us? We will also look at some extra-biblical record to see just what we can understand about how we got here.

Defining Christianity - Early Apologists | Inside The Faith Loop
It is very difficult for many people who identify as Christian, in whatever form or denomination, to hear or even listen to what we are about to disseminate. So, what we would like to share is that history show us that Platonism carried forward into the thinking of the early leaders, then permeated the church’s thinking, culminating in the final adulteration at the council of Nicaea. This has carried the humanist thinking of the ancient world into a new binding mechanism called Christianity. It laid the foundation for the rebirth of humanism in the world, the release of the ancient hiss from the abyss, and we are witnessing the seduction of the nations to believe the lie of the knowledge of good and evil.

Christianity - How did we get here? | Inside The Faith Loop
As we watch the Christian would continue to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, I am reminded of how we got here. Let’s look back at some history that you may or may not accept as Christianity. None the less we are here and the Christianity that exists was formed from these two ideas of philosophy. I find it interesting to hear the learned men of today’s theology speak about how Israel could miss seeing the truth and go off into idolatry. I believe we must be careful when we throw rocks, it just might be at our own glass house.

The House of Jehovah
From the time Adam failed Jehovah looked for someone he could anoint to lead his people in the right path. An anointed one was always in the will and mind of the Lord. Finally, he begot a son born instead of made from the clay. He called his name Jesus, and he did not fail as the others did.

What is Sustainability? | Inside The Faith Loop
When discussing this topic, we need to return to Babel. Mankind’s attempt to organize himself in a global construction of his own identity to sustain this existence on the earth. There are multiple entities in the world today acting and working to build this same identity. To sustain their identity and define the idea of existence outside of the life Jehovah created for mankind. How do we recognize these entities, so that we can avoid the same adulteration that spawned the institution of Christianity. Will we overcome the world as Jesus has paved the way? Will we accept the truth as it was told through and exemplified in the life of Jesus? Will we obtain the life spoken of in the Genesis narrative and put away the knowledge of good and evil?

Sustaining Life? | Inside The Faith Loop
What is life? How do we sustain life? Is it sustainable? The current human condition struggles to answer this question as mankind faces death with every breath. In this nation we are watching millions of people stream across the southern border. For what? A better life? Where are these people housed? Who is going to feed them. How do they care for their basic needs? The sanctuary cities are now all pushing back and saying we cannot take these people into our city and care for them.
Is this life?

Hearing and Understanding, Two Different Things, Sunday Morning w/Robert A. French
He that hears let him understand. The disciples were constantly misunderstanding Jesus, why, because they were two indoctrinated in the Jewish tradition.
It was given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom because they were supposed to have understood what things were really about. Are you a teacher of the law and you do not know these things?

Politics, Government, & Christianity | Inside The Fatih Loop
Why does the institution of Christianity continually work to build the kingdoms of men, and then call it the will of God? For thousands of years mankind has worked to build his own kingdom. We saw the consequence of this action when the confusion came upon mankind in the account of Babel. Christianity has been part of this kingdom building since the adulteration of the Council at Nicaea. Jesus was also tempted in this fashion, are we going to succumb to the peer pressure, or will we give the same answer as Jesus?
