Me and Jesus

This week we will be teaching on the spiritual cognitive dissonance of “Me and Jesus” and the mystery of Sonship and new spiritual identity In Christ as the spiritual Son of God!
Cognitive Dissonance is the mental conflict that occurs when our beliefs, concepts or assumptions are contradicted by new information. We have a strong inner need to ensure that our beliefs, our identities and our behaviors are consistent. When what you believe is challenged, something must change in order to eliminate or reduce the dissonance caused by the lack of agreement. Today’s Christians are faced with spiritual cognitive dissonance when their strongly held religious concepts are challenged by the revelation of spiritual union, oneness and identity. It would be better if we were either hot or cold concerning this revelation – that we would receive it with hunger or reject it with vehemence. But we do neither. We choose to live in a lukewarm state that compromises the spiritual identity of the son and the identities of our flesh. We convince ourselves that no conflict really exists. In our secular wisdom, we bring Christ down to the flesh and create a coexisting relationship between ourselves and Christ. As a result, almost every Christian sees their spiritual identity from the perspective of ‘me’ and ‘Jesus’.
“This two-person gospel (me and Jesus) creates a comfortable space where we can live out our relationship with God as His adopted child. Conforming and changing ourselves into the image of Jesus. Doing all of this through our faith in Christ.”
If you can find no problem with what I just said – then my friend you are deeply entrenched in the delusion of religion and the two-person gospel. I want to spend the next two weeks discussing eight of the most common erroneous ‘concepts’ that come out of our spiritual cognitive dissonance. I only ask that you listen and approach this teaching with an open heart. These erroneous spiritual ‘concepts’ keep us in religious bondage and distract us from learning and understanding who we truly are as the sons of God. Let’s talk about it…
