    Christianity Turned Jesus’ Mission of Life Into a Church

    About this ebook

    Jesus commanded that we follow him in his Mission in order “to save,” instead of enter a church in order “to be saved.”

    Following Jesus is a “discipleship for world liberation,” not “church membership for personal salvation.”

    Where people are gathered to give worship to God through ceremonial chanting, singing, dancing, listening to a sermon, and offering money for the life of the church, there you can find the Christian CHURCH OF PAUL. On the other hand, where people are gathered to give care and help to one another for the glory of God, there you can find the CHURCH OF JESUS.

    Indeed, the true church of Jesus is a TOOL to bring life to the world, more than a PLACE where we can go and save our individual souls.

    Receiving Jesus in our hearts is receiving his Mission to renew the world, rather than taking our position as one that is already saved in the world.

    Amen.

      PREFACE

      Two thousand years have passed since Jesus came to save our world, and yet our world has gone even much more miserable than when Jesus left it.

      All you see around are poverty and oppression getting ever wider and deeper, as greed and corruption get ever bolder and meaner.

      In all of these, where is Jesus, the said Messiah of the world?  What has he been doing?

      He is there locked up in church, content with spewing up spiritual words that nobody listens to, aiming to save the souls of men, not the world from its ever-deepening hunger and misfortune.  And who locked him up there?  The Christianity of Paul.

      If the Jews had crucified the Living Jesus, Paul’s Christianity had murdered the Risen Christ!

      Behold in these twelve series of books THE TWELVE DESTRUCTIONS Paul’s Christianity had brought upon the person and the true Mission of Jesus.

      JESUS MUST RISE!  For as long as Jesus remains buried beneath the lies and hypocrisies of Paul’s Christianity, the world is doomed to its inevitable destruction.

      And must Jesus rise now, while the wood is still green.

      Amen.

      Christianity turned Jesus’ Mission of Life into a church

      Destruction No. 7 of 12

      Of

      Christianity Destroyed Jesus

      The TWELVE DESTRUCTIONS Christianity Had Done Upon the Person and Mission of Jesus

      DESTRUCTION 1:

      The God of the Old Testament is not the Father of Jesus

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 2:

      Paul Destroyed Jesus

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 3: 

      Christianity presented a most confusing bible and called it—the Word of God

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 4:

      Christianity saw mainly Jesus as God; while others as merely a man—made God; still some others as a great teacher—but never a God

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 5: 

      Christianity made Jesus’ Mission as taking people to heaven, instead of bringing heaven to the world

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 6:

      Christianity treated life on earth like burden, not gift, while life in heaven as gift, not reward

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 7: 

      Christianity turned Jesus’ Mission of Life into a church

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 8: 

      Christianity turned God and Jesus into a religion and locked them up in church, never to meddle in political affairs, much less rule the world

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 9:

      Christianity taught people they were saved by Jesus’ blood and resurrection, rather than by repentance and pursuing the works of Jesus’ Mission

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 10: 

      Christianity made God a ‘Servant’ whose seeming duty is to serve man, rather than a ‘Master’ whose will for the world we all must pursue as God’s loving servants

      ––––––––

      DESTRUCTION # 11: 

      Christianity looked to reading the bible and belief in God as the answer to obtaining a bountiful life, to the neglect of obeying the Law of Nature that governs
