This site is not meant to be a place to lodge an offence or accusation but rather a hub meant for healing and a return to biblical Christian belief and practice. We must however address things as they are within Christianity as wishful thinking or turning a blind eye will not end in any meaningful solutions.

The place to start?  I choose to start with identifying a few problems. The first is the confusion between two warring proprieties within Christian thought and practice: Theology and revelation.

Theology is the study of God from man's point of view and is extremely humanistic in its promotion of intellectualism and education. To study the scriptures from theological definitions and terms demands its devotees learn a whole new language and myriad terms unfamiliar to the everyday man. Theology demands an education that puts the truths of scripture out of reach for many. Theology makes these dependent upon a class of clergy who were institutionally trained in a variety of competing denominations, all claiming they alone know the truth. The truth is whatever beliefs or doctrines these educated men hold to is simply a matter of what denomination trained them. This adds to the overall confusion of who is preaching the truth for they all disagree and all hold credentials from impressive seminaries and universities.

1 Corinthians 1:19-27 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Revelation is our true propriety. Revelation is who God reveals himself to be. He does so individually and corporately through Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the scriptures. Revelation is a supernatural propriety as the Church is a supernatural entity. We are the Body of Christ. Just as when Jesus walked as a man among us in a physical body he was not dependent upon his deity as the Word of God but rather as a humble man dependent upon his Father. We are as Jesus with the Spirit of the Living God dwelling in us through faith. Read the below verses carefully.

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
 

Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

^{Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.}

^{We walk not according to a carnal mind, not even an educated carnal mind, we walk by the Spirit and are led where the Father would lead. We are taught of the Spirit as well. God has a way of making the scripture more than words, it becomes living water within us. This is supernatural and is something theology can never accomplish.}

^{Please do not misunderstand, Scholarship and education are of great value to us but they cannot replace our lifeline to God the Father which is through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. This propriety of "by the Spirt through the scriptures" is primary and everything else must take a back seat.}

^{One of the largest problems is the subject of denominations themselves. Make no mistake these are a product of men and not God. As the scripture says:}

^{Denominations are division and by their very nature divide us from one another. In our quest for a unity of the faith many of us will have to do some soul searching and prayerful study of Holy scripture in order for this truth to become clear. I recommend you approach scripture without any commentaries and do so prayerfully. I believe you will be amazed in what God reveals to an honest humble heart.}

^{1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.}

^{1 Corinthians 1:12-13 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?} 

^{1 Corinthians 3:1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?}

^{1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.}

^{Our unity is not one of compromise but rather one of submission to God. We must humble ourselves and allow the Father to teach us and lead us where he would. We must not compromise what we believe but rather allow God to change us and our understanding. We are not trying to start a new denomination or suggesting a fleshly ecumenism here. The problem has never been so much that we do not agree with each other but rather not enough of us agree with God.}

^{Our unity has at its heart a pure Gospel. We have not been left to the wiles of the enemy or the pride and mistakes of men. There is but one Gospel and Only God and those he sends can define it. Those he sends use the scripture and the Holy Spirit speaks to the listeners through them. Our teachers must be men sent from God, not those who sent themselves. These men must speak as the oracles of God or let them shut up. Men's opinions have no place in the pulpit. This too is a supernatural operation. As the apostle Paul said:}

^{1 Corinthians 2:4-5 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.}

^{1 Corinthians 2:9-10 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.}

^{1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.}

^{Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!}

^{There are many more things to discuss and address but this is a beginning. All we want is to network with those who see and understand the times we live in and who will join us in this work of seeking God to bring us to where we need to be as the Body of Christ. I can testify that God the Father has a clarity of doctrine and purpose for us all in these last days and he his calling his disciples to begin. There is a great harvest but the barn must be repaired for there to be a place to bring them. God will not allow us to bring in this great harvest into this current corruption and division.}
