Easter a time of new beginnings

My thoughts on this subject really focus on the institution of Religion and how Saul the one time Christian hater became the Paul of the New Testament and yet if you know these texts they are heavily influenced by a conditioning that creates a duality in construct of thought and structure. The focus became to worship the man who they made into their GOD instead of the teachings and following the path that the man walked. The focus was on the structure of the building instead of the knowledge of doing what is right and important.
Together Peter, Paul, and John along with Mathew, Mark, and Luke they all created this structure built upon a false foundation they have each in their own way denied the real gift that is free to everyone. Love is free and through reaching out to touch and nurture each other with hugs knowing that we have given to each a great gift to be free from oppression.
A friend of mine who once was a chef was asked about his plans for today Easter and he explained that he and his wife are going to the outlaws for Easter dinner. After the third time of saying this someone came by trying to encourage the man to cook for his wife an Easter dinner. I saw right away that after all his time spent at the stove he really wanted nothing more to do with cooking he has cooked enough, I wanted to add support to the fact that he was going to meet with family and have a nice time dinner away from home.
The support of family and friends can get us through one event to the next and the destructive forces that take away our joy are those that stifle us all through our lives, social conditioning and the power given through the touch of love that is what nourishes us.
To many times people try to control other people through demands like those that built their religions based on ideas that the most powerful person is at the top. The real truth is that those who can they serve the people with the least and by lifting up the least we build a stronger support network for the greater good.
Those who are the bullies, who have created their world through lying, will fall out and be exposed when the current pyramid structure is turned upside down.

Hi – I’d like to add my dollars worth on this – I have taken the liberty of copy and pasting some statements made by a couple of you, and added in my questions and or comments,
First:
Together Peter, Paul, and John along with Mathew, Mark, and Luke they all created this structure built upon a false foundation they have each in their own way denied the real gift that is free to everyone.
{ What were these writer’s of the gospel creating? What false foundation? What ‘real gift’ were they denying? }
Second:
The building of a church or the building of a body who come together as a means to exclude others...
{What do you base this on? The churches that are truly following the teaching of Jesus Christ, are “not” excluding, but rather desiring and reaching out to others that are not a part of their group. I might add that we can have Christian fellowship within ‘home fellowship groups’ as well.}
Third:
Moses became the mediator between GOD and the people as has always been.
{Moses was the mediator between the people ‘while he lived’ – and in the Old Testament. Today Jesus Christ is the “only mediator” between God and mankind.
Fourth:
Jesus said "lift up that rock--there'll you find me, split that log, there I Am" and "Are we not all Gods?"
{This is not found anywhere in the Bible, except that there is an often misquoted and misunderstood statement in the Psalms, about ‘Are we not all Gods?
According to Isaiah 43:10, there is only one ‘true’ God, and none “after Him”
We are all “God’s creation/created ones.”}
There’s a huge difference between religion and being a true believer and disciple of Christ. It comes Not theough ‘head-knowledge believing’ – but through an experiece called the “new birth” in John, chapter 3 and verse 3. THAT is where one’s ‘new beginning’ truly begins.
Religion is what has driven mankind away from God and the Bible, sad to say.
For anyone that might be interested, I have a once a month email Bible study, that I send out on the first of each month. I try to make it interesting, and stick with what the Bible says. We can discuss things if it is needed – and if you sign up, you can also disconnect if and when you want to.
You can join by sending me an email at: daystar@dcemail.com Just put “Bible” in the subject line, and that way I won’t delete it.
Have a great week.

Hi Lakota,
I agree with you on the fact that we talk about what we together talk about and cut out the parts that are not relevant to our points of view. It is interesting as many people do just that in their communications but it is not widely acknowledged. I value your insight and wisdom greatly and I can look past the biblical references as well, even though I started the discussion with the Bible as a target it certainly is interesting to view how people perceive what I meant.
Classycat really took the writings to a level that I will love to engage in as time allows.
I'm going to make sure I copy and paste this conversation to give it a little thought, I certainly think that a reply is appropriate.
I would love to see Classycat post a response to my discussion properly, but yes it is okay that they posted here. Expect another comment from me soon.
Thank you both of you...
I do see this as an opportunity to explain what I see... What has been revealed to me through the understanding and power of the lies that the liars have told.

lakota - thanks for extending your grace and patience to me. I appreciate that.
I just love people, and like to do what I can to help them find answers, and or create new friendships.
Have a great week.

I agree almost perfectly with your analysis--I do make exceptions, humbly admittingly without being a perfect scholar on the matter, in holding so much blame toward Matt, Mark, Luke, John--for at least with their works (and others)we get a picture of a great man (God or not never mattered to me, but like you're saying, HIS message is all but forgotten, in this fervor to give Godly status to an order/system, to a book, to Men--instead of to God, Love, Truth, the universe--all that which matters, and everywhere where one may find God... Jesus said "lift up that rock--there'll you find me, split that log, there I Am" and "Are we not all Gods?" We have forgotten about Love, and equally important, self-restraint, and put our focus on institution and ritual...travesty, really.
