AMERICAN JESUS

God created man in His image, then man returned the favor. American Christianity often creates a god in its own image that hates the same people they do, & votes for the same people they vote for.
The Religious Jesus brings shame. The Real Jesus brings grace. The Religious Jesus brings condemnation. The Real Jesus brings compassion. The Religious Jesus hurts people. The Real Jesus heals people. The Religious Jesus uses people to build the church. The Real Jesus uses the church to build people.
The Real Jesus transcends religion. He is not confined or contained by the cages of any one denomination, definition, or dogma. No one can claim Jesus to be exclusively theirs and then exclude others from His universal, unconditional love. Unconditional means there are no conditions. The Bible prophecies that God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, rather than dividing humanity into a binary of two groups, the in-group and the out-group.
