Daddy-Issues Theology

In Christ, the opposite of legalism is not brazen, in-your-face worldliness (libertinism).

And the opposite of sinful worldliness (libertinism) is not legalism.

Jesus Christ is the opposite of both.

He’s not a legalist and doesn’t boast about that with new found worldliness.

He’s not a boastful sinner and doesn’t display that by acting like a strict legalistic.

I’ve noticed in some church circles each generation takes turns being opposite of the one before.

It’s like a daddy-issues theology. “I am mad at daddy, I haven’t gotten over it, (because I am led primarily by emotion). So I’m going to rebel and be opposite of him.”

It is not at all like this in Jesus Christ.

What the Kingdom of Jesus is like

The kingdom Jesus is like a federal agency called NASA. Equipped with many billions of dollars, many scientists, engineers, managers, and spokespeople. With the full support of their government and the people all with ONE shared mission.

Like federal agencies there is an spiritual agency of the kingdom of Jesus called the ecclesia. It is the body of Jesus Christ and it has one glorious mission. A mission with limitless resources from its king. This mission is alluded to in Ephesians 1.

ESV verse 10 reads to unite all things in him, NASB reads the summing up of all things in Christ, NIV says to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ

Jesus Christ has a gathering together in one, a unification of all things, a bringing of unity to all things, and a summing up of all things in himself ministry. And this ministry has been delegated to his followers, his body in the earth.

One of the primary ministries of the church is to gather together, to sum up, to comprehend and to explain all things according to Jesus Christ. That is our ministry, that is our mission, that is our vocation.

We are like a federal agency for him, by him, about him and loyal to him.

The kingdom of Jesus is not like a loose collection of competitive religious shows who compete for the same few audience members. It’s not at all like a show or a intellectual religious lecture. Its not like a performance and an audience.

The kingdom of Jesus is like federal agency of Jesus Christ, which displays and explains to all of creation the magnitude, and the importance of the king over all things, Jesus Christ. Explaining and displaying how everything in all of creation revolves around, and is defined by, the true king.

The Biggest Problem on Earth

Nothing else comes close.

Should be #1 priority of Trump and the UN and the Russian and Chinese and Israeli leaders and Pelosi and the courts:

The biggest problem on earth is the problem of who is in charge during Christian meetings. The vast majority of the time it’s not Jesus himself.

Wanna “make the world a better place!” ? fix that and watch the world explode and be turned on its head.

Poverty eradicated, forgiveness extended, reconciliation everywhere. Freedom restored, real equality realized, not the fake, changing, PC kind.

Jesus can do that, he is big enough to direct small groups of people in every town on earth.
