Entity manipulating into Christianity?

[Mustardseed]

This perspective only works if you assume that "sin" is only in the mind of people, and not a real thing. If "sin" is real. That is if certain activities and attitudes are inherently wrong, your view only serves to cloud the issues. In order to fix or attempt to fix fx. a machine ,a life or existance, it is important that the problem is diagnosed. Most folks rightly , when becoming Christians are somewhat overwhelmed with their own sinfullness, something they never faced before, but now see clearly on the , "background" of the law of God (Love), unloving behaviour(sin) is easily understood etc . The faith to believe in forgiveness comes and grows in the lives of Christians as well, but it sometimes takes time. I find your outlook somewhat onesided,and though I believe it is flawed, I understand your reasoning.
About an entity coaxing people into Christianity.....you are right, its a very powerfull entity.......GOD[]

You are right, I find it also a bit flawed []
The description I gave probably only describes a minority of the people. While I agree that some sort of 'sins' are very real and is just simply wrong, some goes with this to the extreme and sees at everything that it is either from God or Satan.

The thing is just when you see a flock of people. Then you meet up with a few that acts very very different. It out'shines' the other people and screws up your average estimation and in the end you think that many of that group acts that way. Duh [xx(]

But let's see if this triggers something in someone [8D]

actually, i'd have to say, based upon my observations, that what is drawing people into christianity and causing them to become close minded is people: people who are already christians feeding their own beliefs into the new christians.

tis a shame really. to be completely honest, i've wanted to try and destroy some churches simply because they don't give a s**t about God at all and are merely focused on themselves as a group and the money they can generate with new members and how far they can spread their own beliefs (almost as though it's justifying their own decision to believe what they do because they have no REAL faith) :/

Came up with a funny idea today.

Is there some big entity manipulating people to dash into Christianity?

Certainly it would be in the favor of it when seen from an Energetic
perspective. I've seen many friends dash into this religion being openminded fellows and quickly after changing into close-minded fearful beasts trying to get away from their 'sins' unsuccesfully and falling into a harder grip of guilt.

So if you think of it from an energetic perspective: Many, many many get very closed up and into the dogmatic belief of Hell&Heaven. With this Hell comes many fears. So they start building a wall towards 'sinful' things with fear. Along with this crumbles the understanding  towards others and why they do this. They get blinded by their own fanatical belief and cling on to that while building their wall around them with fear of going to Hell.

Along with this wall of fear they are very easily hurt and offended. Their emotions are easy to set to negative by almost anyone. This is
where Negs come in. As the guilt increases so does the pressure inside
oneself. This guilt can be used to manipulate into a direction or another.

I'm 100% certain that Christ would be very sad to see how much evil&confusion has sprung forth from the direction he set.

Ugh, can't concentrate on this right now, I'll come back to it later []
