Age of Confusion

Do you hold faith in the blood sacrifice of perfect, Christed Jesus as atonement and redemption for your sins?
-John 10:9, John 14:6, Rev 3:20

Do you love your neighbor (even enemies) as yourself?
-Matthew 5:44, 22:37-39

Are you baptized in the Holy Spirit?
-Matthew 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33, Acts 1:4-5

Do you repent of sin and go forward in life to "sin no more" as defined by the perfecting Law of Moses, knowing only Jesus could and did perfectly fulfill The Law and became the narrow way?
-Ten Commandments, Proverbs, Daniel, Matthew 7:14, John 3:16, John 8:11

Christians (myself included) make our faith too esoteric. I myself raise and harbor trust issues with aspects (jealousy, war, slavery, misogyny) of the Old Testament. So I strive to see The Bible (and faith) in two, distinct parts: The Old Testament as human question(s), sin(s) and failing(s) and the New Testament as their divine answer.

The confusion exists even in the way culture binds "Judeo-Christian," where believers on one side of that phrase deny the divinity of, and salvation through Christ Jesus?!

So, yes, we live in an age of confusion and all have sinned (all but one) and fallen short, falling in and out of its grasp. Peter, for example, walked on water, but not for long... later denying knowing Jesus to protect his life. That is our story and it perfectly explains our absolute need for salvation through Christ.

Meanwhile, I see no choice but spread His gospel and strive to correct my sinful, sometimes musical contradictions...
