"I have a question!"
"Yes?"
"You have shown your background knowledge on most of the major gods and deities out there but haven't you been professing that it is not how much you know but how much you care?"
"The saying goes, 'people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care,' and that was not my saying. That was my brothers but if you let me explain then I'll tell you why I bored you with names and mythologies up to wazoo. You see, a lot of these gods either died, turned into stars, were tricked, retired and another god took their 'job' or people were too lazy and made one to three gods at most have the same power and ruling as each other. They all have walked this earth for a time and then returned to their own worlds but as you have heard I have only mentioned Jesus' dates that He walked this earth because there are no witnesses to prove that any of the other gods have walked this earth. Yes, Jesus bore into a man like all the others; he walked, talked and lived among us like others have done. He lived, breathed, slept, did miracles, cried, was weary, and even took on a job same as other gods. In fact if you read through the Bible, when Jesus was not performing miracles, or giving a speech then He was either sleeping or traveling. Nine times out of then though He was caught sleeping. Again like the other gods Jesus was betrayed by one of His own and tricked by deceit. He was beaten and met His demise on the very thing that He told people to come to; the Cross. Well Jesus did come to the cross and was the closest one to the cross. He was nailed to it. Unlike other gods though He was brought back to life and retook His place on the throne next to His Father."
"That was a great speech, Miss stranger. You have shown that Jesus is the true God over all the gods and that He is still alive to this day so I say we are done here. Give us some time to think this over and tomorrow we'll come to you with an answer whether we'll follow you or not."
"Raaaargh!! Ground open up behind these people and if any step out of the circle then swallow them whole!!! Now sit down because we are not done. You wanted me to speak for the whole day and that is what I aim to do."
"Sixth, stop scaring them. They know you are who you say you are."
"Rhea, just because you guys are tired and sleepy from the message doesn't mean the Pastor has to stop talking. If you need me to open the floodgates down on your head in order to keep you awake then I will do so."
"Ok, ok. We're going to remain in the circle we promise. If your message is not focusing on the fact that God is real then what further do you want us to know about Jesus?"
" I'm glad you asked sir. Here is where the meat of my message gets to the bone. The difference between me and other messengers is out of all the authors, singers, artists, pastors, Christians, and everybody else that talks about God is that they all make their life work out to showcase that God is real and that He saves . They use all the descriptive words like He is Grace, He is Love, He is forgiveness, and He is kind. Those words are used to describe the love Jesus has and why He saves. It's like yea. If He was a God of terribleness then why would He care for you? Of course He is kind, compassionate, and caring. If He wasn't then why would He do what He does? I want to tell you today that that is not where the Gospel ends but should only be the beginning."
"Why have you just desecrated so many who have professed the Truth? Are we to believe that they only shared the Half Truth and that God is indeed not one who saves or loves?"
"No, no that was not my intent at all. I'm glad that God saves. He saves people everyday, which I am extremely thankful for. All I'm saying is that there is more to the story that we as Christians should be telling people. We as Christians run Christianity like a business. We are the messengers seeking out new employees to bring to the Family. Once they are found we advertise them and interest them in who we are and what we do. Try to sweeten the deal if you would say. They get hired and we give them their schedule/the Bible and say memorize it for that is who we are. It has our mission statement in it. Now when can you start? I can start as soon as you need me. Good, I'll see you Sunday ten o clock sharp. Don't be late. I won't be late sir. By the way, what is my role here? What do you mean? What is this family all about? I see that this Family really loves its siblings and has saved most of them from the streets from the way people here are dressed; but what exactly are we doing here? What does it look like? I save you and present the gospel out of love and hospitality because that is who this Owner is. Now it is your job to keep it going and save the next person. Then the chain will keep getting longer and longer and soon everybody will be saved. Then once that happens the Owner will come back from his overextended vacation and thank us for a job well done. We will celebrate and feast in His halls while the ones still left out for cold won't be able to partake in our celebratory feast.
Sir, you should've stopped when you said the word advertise. If that is what your family business is all about then who's to stop me from turning to another Mythological business and working for their gods? What is your mission statement anyways?
Our mission statement? Yes, what your whole business is about? Oh. That!! That's easy. Our mission statement is found in Mark 16:15-18. It reads, 'Go into all the world and and preach the Gospel. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs shall accompany those who believe: In My Name they will drive out demons, they will speak in new tongues, they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not harm them at all. They will place their hands on sick people, and they will be made well.
That's a pretty powerful overpromising last mission statement Jesus told His disciples before He left for His long overextended vacation. Answer me this; if that is your mission statement then 1st John 4:1 says, ``Do not believe every spirit/Christian, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world prophesying the 'truth' but not sharing all. So with all mission statements they are there just to show what the company is about; what are their values and reason behind the core of what they do? So, what is it we as Christians should ultimately be doing? I for sure know that we are not here just to hear a very impactful motivational speech and then our job is to simply preach it to others so that they too feel empowered. Shouldn't you be out there doing the same thing Jesus is doing or something?
But dear, we are doing that. John 3:17 says, 'For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.' So that is what we also are doing. But what exactly are we saving people from? Oh, come now. That is a silly question mind you. Why of course; we are saving people from sin! Sin!! That three letter word that is so….dark. What is sin exactly?"
"Pss, Rhea, who is she talking to? There are two hundred of us here but for some reason I get the feeling she doesn't even know we're here anymore."
"She's a loner. Raised to fight like a warrior her whole life she goes from place to place saving people and helping out wherever God sends her but deep down inside she is a loner. Even though she has numerous friends she has taken on her journey with her; she feels there is no one who can truly understand how she thinks so she talks to herself all the time. It's actually. It's actually quite amusing to watch."
"Rhea, I hate to say this but Sixth looks like she suffers from multiple personality disorder also known as a Dissociative disorder. Although she can see everybody in life; she feels she cannot connect on a personal level with any of them so she finds escape by talking to herself which in turn brings out all her different personalities carrying on full conversations with each other."
"I know what she suffers from but it is helping get the point across so I don't care who she is personally. Now shh! I want to hear what she has to say.
"Sin is any dark force awoken by the creature of dark himself! Then shouldn't we as Christians be an army of warriors trying to fight the darkness instead of stationed grave registration units that go in either during or after a battle between both sides and clean up the bodies of those fallen? While Jesus and Satan fight; is it our job to go on the front lines simply as medical personnel and try to save all the ones we can before they become an innocent victim of a bloody war? Should we not be fighting alongside our Father against these evil creatures of the dark? But it says Jesus has already conquered death and it is He who fights all our battles. We just have to praise and thank Him? The Bible also says even the Gentiles and Demons believe in God. While we are here on earth struggling to believe whether or not Jesus was actually real; the demons are down below laughing at us. Why? They laugh because they believe in God so much so that they tremble in fear at the sheer mention of His Name; knowing the true power and might that name holds and the person who bears that name as well. So if Demons and gentiles believe in Jesus then it cannot be sufficient enough for us just to say He did indeed walk and thanks to that He loves us so much He wants to save us from the evil cruel darkness. That is rightfully so that he wants to save us because we don't even know we are lost but that's not the whole message. That is not what will make demons not only fear Him but fear us as well. What will make them tremble is when we believe that Jesus is the rightful ruler over all and the only one who deserves to sit at the right hand of God. Other gods don't deserve it, Satan doesn't deserve it, angels don't deserve it, idols and deities don't deserve and neither does any man made object. Once we believe Jesus is the only rightful one and that all the praise belongs to Him and Him alone then will the demons be truly below us. So my question for you is do you believe Jesus to be the rightful ruler? Thanks for listening."
