Also your use of the cult mantra is weak. Who is my cult leader? Who am I telling you has the corner on the truth? I will let you know it isn't me it is Jesus Christ. I don't want to point you to anyone else but God. No one has to go through anyone else to speak to God.
I know I am a sinner and I know who God is and that He died for my sins and now I am forgiven and able to deal with all of life because He is my foundation. He can do the same for you and you can speak to Him about it.
As Redbeard was already kind enough to point out, I was just showing you that what you wrote to me was the same no matter what cult deity (or whatever) was plugged into the places where you named your own. You think you are telling us Deep Thoughts™, but in reality, it's just mindless babble of the kind that tends to come out of people who've wacked their brains out by absorbing cult thinking. That's the "mantra", which you repeat without really thinking about it.
I like that you ask who your cult leader is, and then NAME the cult leader. I know you think Jesus is God the way the Branch Davidians thought David Koresh was god, but that's how cults work. Charismatic leader becomes deified.
The fact that you can't spot the similarities, even when they are being spoken to your face, is why I say your brain is gone, rotted out by the total, blind acceptance of what you've taken in as The One Right Way™.
You should also really listen to Redbeard's point about using methodologies to weed out personal bias in evaluating information. Even Biblical scholarship (the real kind, not the sort you get from fundamentalist universities who say, "I know the Bible is true, so I did some research...", which is the opposite of what I'm talking about) uses the method to investigate. If you bother to look outside of your literalist group-think, you'll be able to find lots of Christians who criticize the literalism of the Bible, who are evolutionary biologists (including my fiancee, by the way), and who will explain to you why what we're telling you is reality.
It doesn't mean giving up the faith, but it does mean that you have uncritically swallowed some things that are demonstrably untrue.
So Jesus Christ is my cult leader? Where might He be residing on earth? Do you have His residence?
The Branch Davidians had a cult leader and his name was David Koresh and even if they thought he was God he wasn't. Actually I remember watching that on TV and my mind when to this verse. Mt 24:26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he [Jesus] is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he [Jesus] is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
I believe the word or God. I also know that there are different types of writing in the Bible like poems, history, prophecy, and letters. They should all be looked at in light of that. Also I have looked at How the construction of the Bible came about. What I will not do is try to make God's word conform to what I want to be right. I conform to God not the other way around. I am not smarter than the God of the universe and neither is anyone else on this earth.
Yes Jesus is the head of the church. In fact Jesus has all authority in Heaven and on Earth. You are not out of His jurisdiction and in His mercy He want you to come into right relationship with Him. He shed His blood for your sins and He defeated death so that you may live an eternal life enjoying Him. You can try to throw your erroneous labels on my statements about God but in the end the truth prevails. We will all see what is reality and God will be there because He is in control of everything.
