EITHER MY FAIHT IS GOING DOWN OR I AM IN THE CLEAREST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

Since I have understood I have been a Christian, I literally grew up under the pews of the church, I´ve been a true believer not questions ask. I´ve traveled the Bible´s pages over and over again, I have been to christian colleges and many seminars. I have been in four churches in fifty years and I have known thousands of pastors, some good and some of them not so good, some doing God´s work and others nothing to do. But somehow, either I got lost in that flow of knowledge and now I am swerved on the way or the Gospel was diverted by a modern path that I fail to understand.

Leaders prophesying things that are not fulfilled, saying words God didn´t speak, using Jesus´s name in vein without even thinking that for God to use his name in that way is a sin and He won´t let it go unpunished.

Leaders manipulating what is written to loot the economy of the parishioners, becoming millionaires with the need of others, taken the little they have instead of helping them to get out of poverty. Brainwashing them into bringing what they don´t have for God and He doesn´t need you or your money. They do. Applying laws brought from twenty five hundred years ago, created for other people and for another time to colect large amounts of money from the naive living in the dispensation of Grace. Neither this is going to be unpunished.

People seemingly healing in the name of Jesus and in most cases is not true, declared to raise the ego of some leaders who increase theirs fame through these cases, many times are said by emotion or just to appear in the cameras. Miracle healing is no for everybody. Jesus came to the Bethesda´s pool and the Bible say: there was a great number of desabled people and only one was healed that day.

Pastors do not preach the Bible anymore; but they give motivational lectures aimed at prosperity, far away from Jesus´s teaching and the moral codes of conduct established in the Holy Scriptures.

Bible teachers not teaching the truth and nothing but the truth, because there is conflict of interests, compelled to deceive people and the teaching metods they are supposed to folow. That´s why thousands of people around the world aparently Christians, living life as they think best but not according to the sacred manual, (BIBLE) due to lack of teaching God´s will.

The Gospel is not prophesy, nor colecting tithes, or body healing; nor outward appearances. It is not food or drink, It is inner healing, it is to leaves the bad, it is living in peace with others and with oneself. It is to be merciful, it is to help the needy, it is to love sincerely, it is loyalty, it is practicing what you´ve learned from the Bible.

Being a good Christian is connect with people and relate with them, help each other, have common feelings, seek the same without belttling the one who has not much. It is do our best to help that called brother when the adversity has taken him. Is that difficult? I don´t think so, if non-believers do it, the more we.

Christianity must grow inside of us, the Bible said: the laws were put in our hearts for us to folow and apply them to ourselves. Have you seen a leafty, green, fruity tree in the midst of dry, arid land and around it only dry small trees? wierd right? that is because this grew its roots and found the water deep in the earth. So we should be like that tree.
