Tag: fear-based belief systems

We don’t know to what degree we have been programmed until God starts to deprogram us. And I would say that evangelicalism is very cult-like in the way in which it uses guilt and shame and condemnation to control people, and keep people in line; get people to toe the denominational line or the church line or whatever those beliefs are. Because, “You can’t belong unless you believe like us,” which is the fear, “Oh, I’m going to be on my own!”

And how many have been told, “Well, if you leave the church, or you’re coming out from under the covering, then Satan will get you!” And all of those fear-based things that we have all been told.

Well, God is love and God loves us unconditionally. And he wants us to enter into the fullness of that. And that will change our thinking.

And we will find that we get deconstructed from all of those belief systems, if we cooperate with him and we don’t keep resisting and fighting to hold on to our previous beliefs, which, you know, I discovered most of them were warped at least, if not completely wrong.
