A New Covenant May 14, ‘07

I'm coming to the conclusion - not without the usual, probably considered highly
heretical input from above - that another monumental change is happening in our
era, similar to when Christ walked on earth 2000 years ago in order to establish a
new covenant between God and men.

The old covenant (testament) had been between Him and the physical
descendants of one man, Abraham, more specifically, the branch of the
descendants of his son Isaac, also called the Jews. That covenant also roughly
lasted 2000 years, until that race proved to be unworthy of the right to the title
"the people of God," or His exclusive representatives.
After Christ died - simultaneously with the passover lambs that were being
prepared by every pious Jew around the world, and embodying the very
symbolism of each one of them, yet without most of them recognizing this fact,
and the temple veil was supernatural rent in two to reveal to the world that the
arc of the covenant wasn't there anymore (by the way, you can stop looking for it;
the Bible tells us where it is in Rev.), the old covenant was dead. In order to
become a child of God from henceforth, all one had to do was not just have the
luck to be born of a special, chosen race, but to accept the sacrifice God made in
offering up Jesus, His "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev.13:8).

So, for 2000 years, the people of God had a new name. They called themselves
Christians. I'm coming to the point, though, where I see that the new people of
God, the Christians, are erring just as much from the true basis of their faith, and
are straying just as much from God, no matter how vehemently they claim to be
God's people nominally, as their ancient predecessors did, and God must be
looking around for anybody, from any faith or religion, to do the job the Christians
refuse to do, and be living samples of the truth the Christians refuse - to either
accept, or to live and obey. One of those men of God, for instance was the Hindu
Mahatma Gandhi, who probably lived a better and truer sample of what a
Christian was supposed to be like than each and every other Christian on earth
during his life-time, put together.

That doesn't mean I'm promoting Hinduism. It just means that God can use
anyone, even a Hindu, to promote the true meaning and essence of Christianity,
if He can't get any of the Christians to do it. I'm coming to the conclusion that
Christ is exclusively for the Christians no more than He was exclusively for the
Jews.

Of course, most Christians will probably want to stone me now, just as the Jews
stoned Stephen, one of the early Christians - from the time when a Christian was
still a follower of Christ, not Mammon - who proved that the rug of God's
anointing had been pulled out from under Jewish feet and given to true believers
in Christ.
Back then, it cost something to be a believer in Christ: you had to pay the price of
persecution for it, of being an outcast. A Christian was a member of a minority
group, a small, perecuted and highly controversial sect. Those Christians have
long since moved from the arenas of the Roman colosseums into the
grandstands. They're no longer martyrs, but they make martyrs of others: fellow
Christians, Muslims, Hindus, whoever stands in their way.

No wonder most honest people in the world are disgusted by the term
"Christian." It has become a term that stands for anything but what Christ stood
for: exploitation and supression of the poor, domination of anybody too weak to
defend themselves by the "Christian," Western "civilization."

Those dear Christian brethren simply haven't realized that they've been infiltrated
and taken over by the other side, and the spiritual stench of their house has
become so bad that God had to move out, run and hide elsewhere, anywhere He
would find shelter among humans, in the hearts of the humble, whether Christan
or not, the true People of God.

The People of God are the People of Love (see John 13:35). If they don't happen
to call themselves Christians, I won't blame them. Can you?

God's mind on the matter:
