Bearing False Witness: Distorting the True Nature of Jesus Christ and Christian Teachings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535549950)

A cancer is metastasizing within Christianity, and the traditionalists in our faith are nourishing its malignancy. The works of these disciples of deception began more than fifteen hundred years ago, and you know them not. To this day, the cancer lives. However, the misdeeds of the traditionalists, when uncovered, shine light upon the bearing of false witness. Our Creator has granted us tools, tools that can guide our works of interpretation. Many in our faith, however, ignore them. The answers to these questions will challenge the teachings in our faith. -Will our Creator burn the nonbelievers in hell? -Will only the selected few live in His kingdom? -Christianity hinges on the interpretation of Malachi 4:5 and Matthew 11:14. Did the Creator regenerate the spirit of Elijah in the body of John the Baptist? -Did He grant us one lifetime and one opportunity to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh? -Did Jesus Christ die on the cross for us? -Did He narrow the definition of regeneration, a word that appears twice within the Scriptures? -Is the practice of communion remembrance of Jesus Christ or a ritual with a history soaked in barbarism? -What was the sacrifice? Faith without reason misdirects us into a body of irrationality that can't withstand the scrutiny of the tools of interpretation. However, the glory and power of the four tools can extract truth from our Sacred Text. Through their use, we develop interpretations; we find meaning. We must excommunicate the dogmas. A literalism of convenience cannot supply interpretations of the Scriptures with a consistency that promotes spirituality. Only the tools can clear away the falsehoods now plaguing Christianity. Read any verse of the Bible, shine the light of the tools upon it. God will reveal meaning. In summary, however, our Creator did not leave us at the mercy of the commandments of men. He provided tools that can extract meaning from His Words. Christianity must again search its soul and reconfigure its teachings to find the spirituality that God intended. Understanding the tools can pave the way.
