CHRISTIANITY WITH AN EDGE-WITH SCOTT E. ROKELY

Jesus was not and is not religious. In fact, just about the only thing Jesus ever got angry about was the behavior of religious people. And what ticked Jesus off the most was when religious people made up non-functional religious rules.

It will shock you when you realize how Jesus interpreted the Bible of his day. He did not interpret it the way the religious crowd of his day did, and he did not interpret the Bible the way that you probably do.

In this episode I give you the ultimate religious challenge: I challenge you to read the gospels constantly asking the question: "What is Jesus' attitude towards the organized religion of his time, and towards the leaders of organized religion he interacted with?" The results will revolutionize your relationship with God.

Here is a New Years resolution for you: KILL GOD! You know, the false god who lives in your head, but who doesn't really exist, and start believing in the God who does exist. And this God is Love.

We spend our lives scurrying around looking in a thousand places for happiness. But we never find happiness until we finally find the one way to be happy that always works.

Everyone on the planet tries to work these three programs to be happy, and it can't possibly work. People end up frustrated, irritated, and unfulfilled in their lives. But there is one program for happiness that works wonders in your life.

St. Francis of Assisi knew that his own unrestrained ego was a thousand times more injurious to him than any other enemy. Do as he did, instead of feeding your ego, try starving it!

God is in love with everyone on the planet. When we criticize others in our thoughts, we are deliberately separating ourselves from God. Really.

If you view God as narrow, inflexible, and big on tradition, do I have a surprise for you. God is none of those things, and it's easily proven.

The Universe is constantly trying to send life to you, but you will push it all away from you until you literally become open-minded. All it will do is - transform your life.
