Little known fact about me, I was once licensed and ordained by one of the largest Christian denominations in the country. Part of my extensive training was to study cults. I can spot cult behavior a mile away. Sadly one of the churches i once attended became cult like so i left
As a young man fresh off the streets, The gospel of Christ changed my life. I was hungry for truth , and i sought it out daily and with great passion. In my quest for truth, i started to notice that what the preacher was teaching me was different then what the bible taught
So i began to ask questions and i was brushed off at first but the more questions i asked the more i started being accused of being divisive. Pretty soon the preacher blacklisted me and turned the congregation against me.
Even my closest friends turned their back on me. They said that i was under Gods curse and that bad things would happen to me for speaking against "Gods annointed"
I wasn't being divisive but i was noticing that what i was being taught and what the bible taught were at odds. I just wanted to know why and the result of that was i was excommunicated from the church but i left.
My life actually got better, i went to another church and met great people, i actually saw blessing come upon my life in every area . I met amazing and very prominant people that took a liking to me.
2 years later the church i left fell apart , members were abused and mistreated and everything i saw and spoke out against came true. My friends apologized for how they treated me and they are still my closest friends to this day
I learned a great lesson from that experience, never back down. Always trust your gut, always speak what you believe to be the truth, even if you stand alone.
Jesus was a savage, he called out the establishment of his time that lied to the people
Jesus was a savage, he called out the establishment of his time that lied to the people
He overturned the money tables, he went to people's houses and called em hypocrites, he befriended people who society thought were undesirables. He was a dissident through and through.
I said all that to say this, I won't ever back down from what i see to be the truth and neither should you. Whether it's in business, religion, or politics. If I am wrong , i will seek to be better & correct the record but i will never self censor . Unfiltered till I die! 👊🏼
