A show that was a bit disturbing to me...

  •  

    last nite(early this morning 3am) was watching a show about a Christian group in Missouri n how they are trying to teach children how to be good Christian... Well, well it started off showing the kids doing a dance n it was really a war dance the kids were dressed in combat cloths camouflage n black n even one 1 child face was totally painted in camouflage paint, n others painted like aka war marks on the face like Indians are known to do before battle n their dance was shocking to me...
    After that part the showed more of the children's teaching n some were right on but the leaders(adults) were also teaching the kids to be ready for a war, a battle which was upsetting to me...
    Teaching children to be good Christians is a great idea, BUT the main message a true follower of Christ would be to Love everyone even your enemies... Teaching the children to love is better then teaching them hate or being ready to battle others that don't share the same thing is disturbing to me...
    If you want to help bring others closer to God, Jesus n the Holy Ghost/Spirit it is so much easier to reach them n teach them with a open heart n arm n not hate, when you go up to a person n you start out saying you are living a sinful life, you will live in hell if you don't follow my way n etc...
    If people meet a new person lets say at a gay pride event(now know many Christian hate the gay lifestyle n telling those they are dead in eyes of God n so on) n we start off by telling them God hates them, they will die n so on that will cause those that are being told that will respond in anger n hate as well n most likely neither side will listen to each other at all, BUT if the Christian start off with a HUG, saying Hello n being like Jesus by being welcoming to the person Smiling n pleasant n non-judgmental it is so much easier to talk to others when we are caring n love n not judging, judging of anyone is not our job, our job is to teach n share his love n teachings yes some parts of the Bible teach about sins but really we need to remember not to take those parts of the Bible n ram it into someone, if asked do you think my life style is ok you can tell them truth if you don't like that life style but say I am not here to judge your life style but to love n teach you n others his love n teachings... Why have some Christian forgot the message Jesus taught n like when Jesus steeped forward when the crowd wanted to stone a woman for her sins he asked those without sin may toss the 1st stone n when the crowd left he(who was the only 1 without sin) help her up n told her she can go n told her to sin no more... He stopped those that judged her n hated her for her sins n wanted to kill her much like many now seem to want to do to sinners now... Doctors(that kill the unborn) n women (carrying child inside n desire to abort the child), n Gays, Lesbians, Transsexual there are many that are ready to do as those that wanted to stone the sinner Jesus saved because they knew the person was a sinner but they where reminded that they where also sinners...  Jesus even entered a home of a sinner where partying n sins where being done n most likely even while he was in there, he didn't enter scream you all will die, God my father hates you No!!! He entered with love in his heart n taught love n forgiveness, That is what he wants us to do as well...
    Ok back to the show, I also saw children crying because they were told some many things like they are sinners n others are evil n other churches n faiths are dead n so on, I have been in a few churches n even a Jewish service n a Buddhist service n want to visit a Islam service, n if possible a Hindu service not to convert some but to learn their believes n show that not all Christians want to condemn them for their faith, I want to know them n find areas we have in common to build a friendship on... It is so much better to have a friend them an enemy...
    So the show had some good things but for the must part it was disturbing n when they had a card board stand up of our former (recent) president Bush n saying what a great man he is(was) I just shook my head in disbelief, granted he is not the worst human in this world but was mislead on some things n really wasn't all there in my opinion...
    Well I just hope those children in the show really learn the true meaning of being a follower of Jesus someday n I will pray that they are guided to his love as soon as possible!!!

    HUGs...
