AND MANY OTHERS
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule is not hard to understand. It takes man's religious social organizations (churches) to confuse it to where it is today. And yet, even the wrong doctrines, ignorantly taught by many organizations, have no real lasting effect on our personal spiritual growth or salvation.
That is because nothing entering a man [or woman] can defile him [or her]. Not even improper doctrines. It is ONLY what comes OUT of a man [or woman], that defiles him [or her] regardless of their religious affiliation, regardless of which annual or weekly sabbaths they may keep, regardless of other rituals or celebratory "tools" they use to worship God as they are able to understand. The bottom line is, we are to live our lives before God by using the principle of love to guide our every action and decision instead of 10 discrete example laws from the original spiritual kintergarden. MARK 7:15
The honest truth is that, man's religious meetings, ceremonies, holidays, rituals, etc. really are his own tools (whether of pagan origin or not) developed to help him express this principle toward God and man. The only celebrations given to mankind by God himself were given to spiritual infants, who like children on an elementary school stage, acted out various steps in God's plan for a nation whose contract with him was long ago superseded by a new contract.
And furthermore, that new contract was made with the same nation, and it too has become obsolete for those who have spiritually grown beyond any covenant contract relationship with their Father and as John shockingly admitted "Now are we the sons of God". (1 John 3:2).
Realize what that means. If we are truly considered to be the children of God (Elohim) right now, then we are considered to be Elohim right now. Therefore, we are grouped with the rest of the Elohim on the same side of any contract with the God-kind and no longer with man-kind.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:"
2 Corinthians 5:17
"................ even God, who quickeneth the dead,
and calleth those things which be not as though they were."
Roman 4:17
And that is the case right now even though it is not now obvious, by simply looking at us in our current physical condition, but, legally we really are the children of God right now instead of the children of Jacob (Israel). Here's the complete verse of 1 John 3:2 -
The bottom line is there is nothing wrong with attending the church of your choice other than the fact that such an act can keep you from learning deeper personal lessons if you don't keep up your own research for finding what is true and being willing to change and grow by what you learn.
Realize this: The statements of belief established by nearly all churches are boundary lines intended to govern your explorations into spiritual understanding. It's an effort of self defense designed to protect an organization's existence as a social / spiritual authority.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

the cowardice that shrinks from the new truth,
From the laziness that is content with the half-truth,
From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
O God of Truth, deliver us.

O God of Truth, deliver us.

The bible speaks of a mystery hidden from the world by God himself until he decided to reveal it in A.D. 63.
It involves leaving the covenants of Israel behind and going on to a maturity, in which God considers those who do, as an entirely new creature of his own Godly lineage.
When the apostle John finally had it revealed to him, ....... when he finally got it, he excitedly announced:
"Dear friends, we are already God's children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is."
1 John 3:2 (New Living Translation)
And keep Romans 4:17 in mind:
"God, who quickens the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they [already] were."
Once revealed, the apostles began referring to it by using the Greek word musterion which means secret, or a mystery.
It is used in many places in the bible. This is how it is used in Ephesians 3:9
"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
