Explaining one of my former posts....




Dear Friends

To conclude this blog...I felt I should explain a few things to balance some of my other posts in this blog...since I dont wish for what I say to be taken out of context or twisted...

When Jesus was angry at the temple merchants and threatened the pharisees male religious leaders of the time with hell....He was speaking about an attitude of heart which is wrong...and so do I ...

In my past post in this blog I was especially talking about male Christian leaders and churches  which have chosen a wrong unbiblical attitude against females...

In such churches, females have been abused by a wrong submission to the male ego doctrine without even benefiting from the sacrificial love their husbands were supposed to give in return...
If you read even the false badly translated and interpreted version of ephesians 5
such male leaders insist to impose on females...
if the female is supposed to submit to the male ...the male in return must love the female and take care of her etc etc all this to the extent of sacrificing his own life for her...

However although in such churches females have been ordered unfair and unhealthy abusive submission to the male ego, they even did not get the benefits ordered for males to give in the same text...but at the contrary were demanded as well to love, take care of...provide financially at times as well...and sacrifice their own lives for the male...

So that all obligations were heavily put on the back of females whilst all rights were cashed in by males....

What a convenient place to insure you are in charge as a tyrant to get all the bonus from your slave...

It is true that in the Christian religion as well as in other male ego dominated religions...even the liberation female movements were used to enslave further females...
Since before the liberation movements of females...these religious male leaders demanded for females to remain at home taking care of their needs and the needs of their children whilst they were working outside to provide for the financial needs of their families.....but now they invented the new concept that females are multi tasks orientated to not only demand from them to keep the house/children etc but also to go out and work to provide for their financial needs and needs of their children ...etc whilst such males take it easy and do as they please...which is the majority of the time...committing adultery ...not even working ...and end up beating up their wives even more than before....statistics in domestic violence...and male forsaking their wives and children financially are talking for themselves....

Even some irresponsible not religious males have been only following the abusive religious teachings and examples of such male religious leaders....

However if they would have beeen shown another example and preached another doctrine by religious male leaders in charge....our society will be a better one today...
It is so true that religious authorities are still seen as a moral reference even by atheists who unconsciouly like the rest of us ...think that religious leaders are supposed to promote and obey the highest good in our society...

This deplorable male leaders example who twisted the word of God to push and keep females in slavery has been affecting all of us ...

The videos above expose the rule of the thumb and so it is so true that their true motivation was and still is to keep females and the rest of us oppressed under their
thumb...

I wish to clarify more things here...
In my other post in this blog, when I express the anger of God I feel in my heart agaisnt such abusive male christian leaders, I  am refering and speaking about
churches where male leaders preach a heavy submissive doctrine to females to the male ego....

Praise God many other churches exist where females are priests, pastors etc and treated in an equal basis to males and where in marriages females are not demanded to submit to males but where male and female are exhorted to submit to Christ and to each other fairly...

Praise God...I have many friends male and female who are pastors, priests, nuns etc we have been sharing deep loving friendships for decades and I am always happy to visit and made to feel welcome in such churches where good leaders male or females are not trying to boss, manipulate, others in worshipping their ego but at the contrary inspire others to worship God...

I had been unfortunately member of an abusive church when younger for many years and was as badly treated as other females there and even other males who suffered too from abuse from such tyrannical male leaders...so that after much prayer etc...I felt Jesus asked me to leave which I did...
but before I left ...I wrote a letter of explanation to the pastor in charge...
explaining I was leaving because of all the injustice going on in his church....

Unfortunately some of my friends who were also bullied there did not leave and I have learnt some ended in psychiatric hospitals because of the mental torture they endured like myself...

Other friends left soon enough... like I did and we remained friends for decades...

Since I have been avoiding such churches as well as Christians attending such churches because they tend to become abusive to others like their own leaders...
Unfortunately the abuse is mainly against females but it also is directed at some males...so that such churches are dangerous...fanaticism is always dangerous and mainly when victimising, bullying, oppressing others through physical or mental violence etc...

Lately I visited again such churches only to realise that their position unfortunately did not change and that although some of their abusive male leaders pretend to have soften towards females it is only because they cowardly are concerned of the right persecutions God starts allowing to correct their wrong doings! 
I have never felt welcome in such churches and they never helped my ministry but at the contrary tried to undermine me as a female and crush any gift/minstry God in his goodness has gratified me with as in His generosity He does equip each one of us equally!


Although I feel the anger of God against such bad leaders and such bad churches...
I believe that God Himself wanted a temple/church building/institution to welcome everyone...since human beings need a physical place to go to worship at times...
It is wonderful to see a church with opened doors always ready to welcome anyone... as it is supposed to be the house of God where anyone...anytime can come to ask for help to God and to the church members representing God on earth...
I know some wonderful churches where tramps and homeless people can go to pray or rest anytime!

However what is wrong is to turn churches/institutions in oppressive systems enslaving people or helping a minority to enslave a majority ....

What is dangerous and wrong...and it is what Jesus explained....is when the letter kills the spirit and when the building is confused with the real living church which is not made of dead stones but of living stones...

It is important when going to a church to make sure to keep looking only at the living God Holy Spirit and not the physical leaders...or the building or the institution...
It is not about being member of a club or to be used as male tyrannical dictat on females or the rest of the world...

We must remember that God is Mother/Father and not only male ...
That God is SPIRIT and not a building or an institution...

As a reaction to the painful years from which I still bare deep scars..
I feel lead never to be member of any institutional church anymore...
However I often visit churches where I am made to feel very welcome...and I have many dear friends who are ministers in such churches....

I feel that this walk is good for me and I believe that God leads each one of us differently for different reasons because He created us unique...

I feel Deeply inside that ...the Holy Spirit wishes us to worship freely and we dont
need a building...or a specific group of people ...to do so...
We can worship God anywhere ...nature is actually one of the best spots...
at your own home ...in your bed...
God is always present ...
Our body is the temple of the HOly Spirit...
Each one of us is God in action...
God alive today!

Much love to all
