We have discussed and answered the question of who we are, made in the image and likeness of our Father in heaven. The next question is naturally, why? We have been sold a bill of goods by the establishment known as the Christian institution. This institution sold themselves a long time ago to the beast and we are seeing the fruit of this adulteration in the world today.

In the Bible, the concept of spiritual meat refers to the nourishment for the soul that can be found in God's Word and in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Just as physical food provides sustenance for the body, spiritual meat nourishes and strengthens the soul.

We all see the terrible acts of violence and corruption perpetrated by mankind on the earth among the nations. Everything we consider as abominations stems from this type of action that is detestable or disgusting, which is another use of the word in Greek. Why does this create desolation? And what is desolation?

How do we understand what was revealed to John. We read of Israel and Judah beginning with Isaiah through Nahum playing the harlot, what does this mean and how is this relevant to John’s revelation?

Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; Do we really understand what it means to be called out?

In 1976 Francis A. Schaeffer wrote a book and made a ten part documentary series on this book, titled, “The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture: How Should We Then Live? I have read this book a couple of times and we are going to discuss this over the next few weeks as I believe it is a useful tool concerning history and the current attitudes of society. Christianity works to live in two worlds believing our job is to usher in the kingdom here on this earth and save this world. Is this truly what the biblical narrative has to say? We are looking forward to this discussion with you as we work to know how we are supposed to live.

I was reading the headlines in two online Christian magazines, and I ask the question, do we understand faith? Is there hope? What is love? Where did the good news (gospel) go? The institution of Christianity focuses on three forms or what they call the gospel, political, terror, or prosperity, or a combination of all or two of the three. Jesus has taken a back seat to our current institutional leaders and faith, hope and love has become skewed by the knowledge of good and evil.

True or False. The phrase, we are all god’s children is totally inaccurate and untrue. We are all Jehovah’s creation, but we are not all sons and daughters. There are only two ways to enter a family, be born or be adopted. Jesus said, you must be born again which entails learning.

The statement following ‘Mystery’ is ‘The Great’! So, what does this mean and how can we understand this name written on the forehead of this woman. There is another problem that we have with what we read here. Why is the representation of this abomination in the form of a woman? I believe this is a two fold answer that as usual starts in the garden. Whether we like it or not the first female's non-sexual fornication with the beast is here represented at the end of the age.

We read this in the account of John’s revelation from Jesus, and the messenger’s sent to John. First, to record the message to the called out in seven cities in Asia Minor, and make sure they received the information. What we see following this information is the consequence of not following the instruction sent to the seven congregations. Five of these congregations were shown the issues that were a cause for concern and told to repent. There were two congregations that were praised and exhorted to continue in the way even in the face of the persecution. So what do we know, and what do we hear?

What does Man put his trust in? It has been in the wrong place since the beginning. Man continually places his trust in everything, including himself, besides Jehovah trying to create a world revolving around our own strength .

Why does tradition hold such power? When we read the accounts of Jesus written by those who followed him and Luke, who worked with Paul throughout the Mediterranean, we find something curious. Jesus never talked about our traditions or customs. So, what did Jesus talk about? The law of LIFE! So, is Christianity built on the traditions of the law of sin and death?

We are heading to one of two high holy days in Christianity. This particular holy day features the death of Jesus, which is called a sacrifice. While many of the older generation in the Protestant and Evangelical denominations hold to the traditions. Many of the younger generations are moving away from the traditions of the Christian faith. Yet, no matter your view on traditions this week will be observed even by the CEO’s. There are Christmas and Easter only Christians in every form and denomination of Christianity. So, what hold does holy week and Easter have on Christians?

When we look at the Garden, do we really understand what man lost when he lost his place in Jehovah's house? For this is where man dwelt with the Lord and was given strength and authority over the earth.

In our study tonight, we will read in Matthew 22:37 where Jesus is speaking as he is answering a question posed to him by the leaders of the Jewish people in his day. We are to Love the Lord our God with all our being. HOW!? That is the question! The Jews standing there that day understood exactly what Jesus was saying. It is written in their Torah. We will be looking into the most known and talked about scripture, and I pray you will truly come to an understanding of how we are to Love the Lord our God and how we are to present ourselves to the Lord as as pleasing offering.

Each institution has its own form of salvation, but from what? What is mankind seeking? In the world today the institutions of faith have become the ideological manifestations of the socio-economic constructs of democracy, socialism, or progressivism. The old institutions are either being phased out or being recycled into one of the three forms of socio-economic constructs. How can this be true? Look no further than the 17th century and the death of God, as Nietzsche so aptly describe.

For many years now here at Inside The Faith Loop we have talked about the transgression or its true translation, “the rebellion”, of the Genesis narrative. This is an understanding of the narrative that has been lost to the institutions of faith that have been created by mankind throughout the world. This includes the most populated institutions today, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism, not to mention one of the least populated, Judaism. Mankind has been looking for salvation for as long as we have recorded history, but salvation from what? Without the truth of the Genesis narrative the subject of this salvation remains elusive, and with purpose.

I am tired of the use of the word love as an excuse to sanction any form of lifestyle mankind can think of. This is supposable taken from the Bible as it applies to Christians and non-Christians use it against Christians to justify any kind of behavior. First, let’s look at the eight words for love in the Greek language. Learn more at https://www.rafministries.org follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rafministries

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.

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.

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? Learn more at https://www.rafministries.org follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rafministries

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.

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.

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!!
