God is a rational being!














         

Recover Christianity From the Christian Religion Through the Use of Reason!

Religions are made by man. And man is often irrational. Therefore, the possibility of mindless or irrational ideas in any religious doctrine is very high. In the last two millenniums, Christianity has also been gradually replaced by the Christian religion, which is based on emotions and absurdity; where the engagement of the mind is forbidden. But Christianity, as intended by Jesus, is based on the use of reason. The New Testament writers used the Greek term “logos” to describe Jesus. The word logos in Greek philosophy means logic, human reason, and the mind of God. Through Jesus as the logos, we can understand the mind of God; and we can find God through the use of reason. The altered message of today's Christian religion with its distorted doctrines should be rejected in favor of the primitive Christianity's mentality of the New Testament. For a better relationship with God, we must return to Jesus' original message of a priesthood of all believers, instead of today's clergy and lay system.

About a Relationship With God!

How does one go about having a close, personal and intimate relationship with God? Most religions propose a routine, a formula, or a magic bullet in the form of doctrines. But in reality, a successful personal relationship with God exclusively entails knowing and sharing his mentality and accepting his truth. Compatibility of mentalities is the keyword. For instance, if God is Truth, we better like truth. The mind defines the person. A person’s mentality determines the quality and type of relationships that he/she establishes and maintains. That applies to our relationship with God too. God has a mind. We maintain a relationship with God from mind to mind. We need to renovate our minds with God’s mentality and partake in it to be able to maintain a successful relationship with him. This renovation is achieved by replacing false and inaccurate beliefs and doctrines for validated information. But understanding the mind of God in a world with so many contrasting religious doctrines and ideas is a confusing task. Therefore, it is very hard to maintain a successful relationship with the real God. We should seek for the mind of God beyond religion and faith and reform our minds with accurate information, instead of endorsing and embracing questionable beliefs and suppositions. That is why Jesus commands us to repent. The word repentance in the original Greek Scriptures is “metanoia”, which means to have a radical change of mentality; a reform of the mind. The ministry Rational Persuasion provides resources and direction to radically change our mentalities.

How Can You Change the System?

Several things can be done to help you replace the Christian religion for an authentic Christianity in your life:

- Decide if it is important to you:
The present state of Christianity is the direct result of the collective indifference, blindness, and attitude of Christians. The only one we can never fool is God. But religious people are the most guilty of trying to convince God and everyone else of how good and saintly they are. Be honest with God. Unless you actually understand what the problem is and you care to fight it because you know it is wrong, do not even start. Do not fight the situation because you believe you are special, righteous, holy, a saint and the chosen one. You are not! Salvation is God's grace alone. Fight it simply because it is wrong and it offends God.

- Start with yourself.
Realize that to a degree everyone has been negatively influenced by a widespread distortion of the original message given by Jesus. Convenient interpretations and the acceptance and teaching of distorted messages and ideas have made it very difficult to identify and reject the incorrect doctrines of the deceivers and their fallacies. So, start with yourself. Reprogram your mind with accurate information. Return to the original message.

- Educate yourself:
Knowledge is power. Ignorance is the best friend of lies and mistakes. Learn as much as possible about a subject before taking a stand. Be as objective as you can possibly be. Do not rely on the convictions of others, but use your own capacity for reasoning. Do not be impressed by reputations, looks, or titles in anyone. Rather focus on the logic of the ideas offered by the speaker and the message itself. The truth is the truth, no matter what.

- Challenge and test everything:
The Apostle Paul recommends us to test the spirits to see who is who and what is what. Do not commit yourself to accepting any doctrine before critically analyzing it. Do not bend to loyalties or pressures from the majority. Use logic to guide your thinking and behavior. Jesus was so effective at using logic to respond that people were constantly amazed with his rationality and his enemies eventually realized that testing him was a bad idea. One of the most important tips in this web site might be this: whatever you do, NEVER let pride influence your reasoning ability.

- Get the right attitude:
Attitude drives behavior. And attitude is the result of the information and ideas that are present in the mind. Review all the information already in your mind for accuracy. Inaccurate information will create the wrong attitude in us and drives us to make the wrong decisions. Become an objective, critical thinker. Do not let emotions and loyalties cloud your vision and impair your judgment about any subject. Reshape your thought process.

- In conclusion, repent:
Jesus started his ministry with a call to repentance. In fact, that is the only thing he demands from us. As it was said earlier, the word repentance in the original Greek is "metanoia". For many people the word repentance means to feel sorry. But the original word used, metanoia, actually means to experience a radical change of mentality; a reform of the mind. We maintain a relationship with God from mind to mind. Jesus wants us to renovate our mentality with God's mentality. He wants us to reprogram our minds with truth and with God's mind. Then, and only then, you will be able to effectively contest the present system and its distorted doctrines and diluted message.
