The kingdom of God is NOT a matter of talk but of power.
Though I was raised a Christian, and a member of the Congregation of The Living GOD, I'm an open-minded person, believing in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual to express themselves freely, fearlessly and without hindrance.
I respect the beliefs of others as long as their viewpoints do NOT contradict My Christian Principles as recorded in the Scriptures. This is also because we are told to live in peace with ALL men.
(Romans 12:17)
In a world mixed with truth and error I believe that we deserve the right to question and prove everything before embracing it.
"Believe not every spirit" the blessed Apostle states: "but prove them first to see if they really belong to God. For many deceivers have gone out the world over."
The BEST way to distinguish whether a doctrine IS right OR wrong is knowing, NOT the words of reformists, pastors or theologians BUT knowing the Scriptures BY heart. (Jo. 7:17)
The FINAL Standard to identify heresy IS not "today's not-so-orthodox" teachings and doctrines BUT the Bible ALONE (Isa. 8:20.& 1 Timo. 6:3)
If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, DON'T invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement. (For) anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work. (2 Jo. 1:10)
Always remember, the majority isn't always right---the broad way isn't always the BEST way.
May we strive to be-come the change we want to see in the world, by preaching with our words AND actions; showing the world that God lives through our minds and through our hearts." For it would be far better for us to preach what we practice IF we can't practice what we preach. And its better to leave GOD's Book closed IF we can't follow it's divine teaching, divided into two:
Love God AND others.
JAH is the GREATEST Father
Immanuel the BEST King
The Bible the BEST Book
Wisdom the BEST Friend
The Golden Rule is the BEST Rule
and
The BEST investment is in Heaven.
As a Christian, I strongly oppose military service believing that an "eye- for-an-eye" principle leaves everybody blind. (Mt. 26:52 & 2 Co. 10:4)
My congregation and I do NOT celebrate holidays that are steeped in PAGANISM and ungodly practices. So with traditions based on lies and mythologies. (Deut.12:30; Jere. 10:2 & 2 Co. 6:14-16)
Believing there is ONLY One Solution to all this world's ills AND One Qualified Ruler to clean-up this world's mess with no ulterior motives, I do NOT VOTE nor participate in the world's politics. (2 Timo. 2:4)
Believing in everlasting life, I hold on to The Faith--growing as the flower grows.
Welcoming the night. Welcoming the day. Welcoming the sun. Welcoming the rain.
Knowing GOD's Day will come when there will be no more pain. (Reve. 21-22)
Until the New Day Dawns

"Everyone has a piece of the sun inside, most of us just don't know it. However, the time will come when the Light of the Great Sun will shine inside all of us, and give light to all the world. Someday, that time will certainly come."

True Religion Matters!
The Religion that MATTERS to JAH:
"is THIS: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."
James 1:27
So "let JUSTICE flow like a river, and let GOODNESS flow like a never-ending stream."
Amos 5:24
"Depart from evil, AND do good; and dwell for evermore."(Psalms 37:27)
