Angels or demons, there is nothing else.

“Angels or demons, there is nothing else.”

What are you? An Angel or a demon?

Do you not call God in Heaven “Your Father” as well, just as Jesus did.

Jesus stated,”The things that I have done and even more, you too shall do in My Name.”

So what is wrong with doing the things that Jesus did in His Name. He taught His disciples to do these things as well.

The problem is that most Christians call Jesus their Savior and treat Him as a lifeguard sitting on a chair who will rescue(save) them when they are drowning(dying.)

While Jesus can do this, just as a lifeguard can rescue you, which would you sooner have, a lifeguard to rescue you or a lifeguard who teaches you how to swim? Jesus was a rabbi, a teacher who was teaching us how to be like Him, filled with Him, and to do the things that He did and even more.

I’m not criticizing where people are at. Quite the opposite. However, they need to know that the scriptures teach us so much more if we live them in our daily actions, thoughts and hearts, not just in our words.
