State of the Church

As Christians we have been taught that questioning God was forbidden.To be respectful to the Bible Pushers, Jesus Freaks, and those of you who are "holier than thou" I will not go there. I will however question mankind and its constant failure to understand the God that they claim to serve and the simple-complexities of the bible that we use to slaughter one another instead of uniting in spite of differences of opinion and belief. I am too a human being as well as a Christian. These are my opinions. The bible says (God says), "my thoughts are not your thoughts." I am not sure if I am right or wrong, but I do believe that God has equipped the mind to function on its own, therefore I have the divine approval to voice my opinion. I can only be reprimanded by God.

Have you ever pondered that maybe the bible was designed to be looked at from different angles? If we believe God to be omni-present in a spiritual sense, then his mind or thought must be omni-dimensional. I would imagine that if we were "created in his image" -which no one seems to know what that image looks like- then we would also be capable of multi-dimensional thought. Sadly we are not born with multi-dimensional thought or the belief that God exists. Such formulation and functioning of the entire brain must be properly nurtured in order to survive in a society of one-dimensional thinkers.

We believe the bible to be a set of laws. If God gave us laws one would think that man's decision to separate church and state would cause more corruption of such laws. I will not bore you with the historical perspective of the separation of church and state, but I will say that if a King and a Pope cannot agree on a vision for the present and future of the people in which they serve, then the man-made mentally induced idea of an egotistical craving for power comes into play. They have no choice but to separate. This leads to political, social, and psychological agendas that are designed to confuse and control the powerless. It also adds fuel to mankind's attempts to force their man-made agendas by using God as a reference without his divine approval. An example would be using a friend or family member as a reference for a job application without their consent, only to prove your credibility and legitimacy. Using a multi-dimensional thought, one would believe this to be a form of "bearing false witness(es)."

Of course the church had its flaws before the separation, but I think that the separation has definitely allowed believers to question their faith due to mankind's lethal injections of corruption and flesh domination. When I think about it I invision a decaying temple. We can see from our Muslim brothers and sisters that church and state (mosque/Islamic law) does not always mix when corruption is at its core. I believe that if church and state never coagulate as natural siblings, then they should at least function as branches of a unified umbrella with a true multi-dimensional understanding of God and his laws at its center.

Although we share this earth with brothers and sisters from different backgrounds (race, sex, morals, orientation, and faith), we are still obligated to love one another. Until we begin to educate ourselves spiritually, politically, realistically, put more emphasis on developing multi-dimensional thought, and unite we will continue to be failed experiments in the eyes of God. In conclusion, I will leave you with this simple phrase. "You can be whatever it is that you want to be, but no that you will never be God."
