Misinformation

Eri — 5/14/2009 11:28:41 PM (archived)

I believe that most Churches are based on misinformation. Misreading, lack of understanding. Each Church has a piece of the truth but none has the whole truth.

What Churches tell you is so that they can control you. Some human beings have a control issue. They are usually the ones who rise to the top. They misspelled what rises to the top; it isn't cream, it's creeps. Jesus was a truly great leader. Why? Humility, something very few Church leaders have. You want to learn, find someone with humility; they are the teachers. A humble person will never try to lead you or control you. They will tell you what "is" and leave you to make up your mind as to what to do with the information--reject, use, or ignore.

One thing I have learned, though, is that once you are given information, you become responsible for it.
