My neck hurts right now. As I was reading the following article, I found myself nodding my head in agreement so much so, I need to share this. Since most of the readers are struggling with #PTSD, we all know that the spiritual battle comes in with the list of things we must overcome to heal. Too many of us know what it is like to seek spiritual help from "houses of worship" and sadly, find no help within those doors.
We are not alone on this. Jesus was not welcomed either. His "house of worship" leaders hated Him because they feared His messages.
The Pharisees and Sadducees were all about money and power. They charged people for everything, from buying the sacrifice, and paying them to do the sacrifice after they paid for a ritual bath before the rest would be done. If they did not have the ability to control the people, they would lose power and thus lose the wealth they gained. Jesus was preaching about a direct connection between them and God, Their Father.
John the Baptist did not charge money to baptize anyone. They hated him too.

John the Baptist did not charge money to baptize anyone. They hated him too.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matthew 3:7Jesus preached about love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and taking care of the needy. He preached outside among the people and spoke of how they could seek God directly on their own. Studying scripture, often stuns me how much was left in the approved books of the Bible supporting the fact that we do not need a building to connect us to God. We only need the Son He sent to us.
When you read the following, please go to the link and read the rest of it. Understand that your problem with God may have more to do with what you have seen men do here than what God has done from Heaven.
Healing spiritually added to mental health help expands your recovery!
If Jesus Were Here Today, Would He Be Considered “New Age” by the Modern Church?
As a spiritual leader and teacher, Jesus has had a profound impact on millions of people around the world for centuries. His message of love, compassion, and forgiveness has resonated with people of all faiths and backgrounds, and his teachings have been a source of inspiration and guidance for countless individuals.
But what if Jesus were alive today? How would he be perceived by the modern church, and would his teachings be considered “new age” or outside the mainstream?
To explore this question, let’s take a closer look at some of the key aspects of Jesus’ teachings and how they might be perceived in the modern world.
Jesus’ emphasis on personal transformation and inner growth. One of the central themes of Jesus’ teachings was the importance of personal transformation and inner growth. He encouraged his followers to look within and seek to transform their lives from the inside out. In the Sermon on the Mount, he says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). This suggests that Jesus saw true happiness and fulfillment as being a result of inner transformation, rather than external circumstances or achievements.
In the modern world, this emphasis on inner growth and transformation might be seen as “new age” or outside the mainstream. Many modern Christians tend to focus more on external forms of faith, such as attendance at church services or adherence to certain religious practices, rather than on inner transformation and spiritual growth. Jesus’ emphasis on love and compassion. Another key aspect of Jesus’ teachings was his emphasis on love and compassion.
