Written by Joel O’Neil Alastair Brown
I’ve learned after decades of tiresome conversations, that Christians who blame complex theological,
sociological, ecological, medical or economical problems that we face solely as the invisible work of “demons”, cannot be entrusted the responsibility to lead on problem-solving strategic management of said issues in any serious capacity.
Joel O’Neil Alastair Brown
World Poverty, Climate Change, Cancer, Racism cannot be exorcised by screaming loudly at people with bibles and crucifixes nor prayed away through fervernt intercession at least we haven’t managed to rid ourselves of those demons so far and are unlikely to in the near future before we arrive at an apocalyptic tipping point.
I won’t even bother mentioning those that are still convinced same sex attraction is caused by demonic possession. I’m not having that conversation with anyone who still proffers such ignorance in 2019.
We need courageous clergical leadership on all fronts who are willing to utilize all the wisdom and experience from human intellectual inquiry to really explore the cause of the multiple crises facing humanity and work alongside the best and brightest of secular scholarship to implement evidence based solutions.

Stay #Loved Up ..’ – #In14Ways #MercyfulGrace

Happy days. Stay loved up in this #truth. It’s no longer a #mystery. God is not #religion. God is #Love ..’ – #In14Ways
Last year I was accused of having an agenda and recently, an agent of Satan. I had to go in, as I had the time.
Where is the lie? Who is the real agent of Satan? Why do self righteous religious charlatans think they have the right to judge and project their ignorances at others?
Narratives like these are why the pews are empty and people refuse to respect some Christians with these antiquated antics and naive indoctrinations.
You need to go out more and learn more about the world around you and how it functions; and not dwell on single stories of discrimination, bias & religious prejudices. Jesus is the personification of social inclusion. He came from the house of whores and great kings too.
Even if I was a lepper like Lazarus📣. Even if I was worse than the worst gays on the whole planets put together, rolled into one, you could ever concieve.
Abraham the father of faith (The blood line of Jesus – His Great, Great…. Grand Pa) had cocubines (Ketura) and fathered children with them before he sent them all away with gifts and gave everything to ‘Isaac‘, the ‘Promised Child’.
This promised child gave life to Jesus Christ: A Holy Sacrifice – in lieu of Isaac to be slain when God tested Abraham – “The sole reason why it is finished; as Jesus himself, concluded, on the cross, out of His own mouth, after he was crossed on the cross for all the sins of mankind!”
You didn’t earn this grace or redemption by your works of righteousness. Don’t get it twisted. You don’t own it. Neither can you buy it.
Thank you Jesus.
This is why Jesus went (appeared) to Mary Magdalene, first, on His resurrection; before his disciples, or even – God.
Cuz he knew, mankind, would deny Her and Sinners alike that grace he brought freely to mankind, out of their bad religions, ignorances and self righteous church politics.
Predictably, they deleted her testimonies from the bible. The very first person who was commanded by Jesus himself, to spread the Good News of redemption and Christianity.
Wao! Talk about wisdom. The wisdom of God surpassing all understanding.
Even If I was a whore like Mary Magdalene the best friend of Jesus and a whore like Rahab the Nan of Jesus. Who are you to judge? Worry about your own sins !!!
Nobody owns God. Love is free, freely given and God is #love ..’
Read Ecclesiastes 7:20 (KJV)
20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
God First. To the eye naked; all is, unlike the one’s covered with the #truth. Just because it’s successful does not mean it’s #credible. You know you are tripping when you say you have no sin.
I liken #bad #religion to #alcohol. It diminishes responsibility and regresses the #mind ..’ – #In14Ways

Le’Andria Johnson was right about Church politics in plethora ways ..’ – #AnthonyEverest
After a public turbulent melt down on social media on her pain about Church politics she gave an apology. Classy !!! I love Le’Andria Johnson and her politics ..’ – #In14Ways
A priest raped over 30 girls from age 5 and above infecting them with HIV, knowingly. #Church: Now tell me. Why would I need the Pope to find #God?
The Pope won’t even meet the victim who requested closure in person so they could heal. Wao !!!
Yet, her colleagues like Kim Burrell have so much to say about the #Lgbtq+ community condenscendingly after using them by advantage. She sang on Frank Oceans album and did many lgbt gigs.
The LGBT gladly cancelled Kim Burrell’s further appearances; including, and notably – on Ellen. Can you blame them?
A lot of religious organisations are deluded, hypocritical and simply just businesses. They don’t represent love and inclusion.
These days we need extra special xtray vission eyes to see clearly what’s presented to us as the truth and the lie ..’
I think they should be taxed and made accountable. God help us all ..’ How does this make you really, really, #feel?

Notes:
“Some gospel artistes, churches and their members are in bed with Lucifer at major levels that a lot of church peeps don’t know. Christians don’t mainly run gospel music anymore. Godless corporations hold the cards in some cases.
Some of them harrass, block and bully you into joining their cults, perverted sexual rituals and games for success or block your money if you decline. I know this is true first hand, as I was invited, inside and outside the church but declined. Then, hell broke loose. Next!
I think she is going through a lot personally & professionally with the aforesaid. All the rhetorical, social media outbursts plus antics were just ways to release stress. We’re all human. Let’s not be hypocrites here. No ones perfect.
She’s super amazing and just trying to wake us all up. We are privileged to know her and know this truth“.

Why I won’t go to church today ..’
Posted: April 29, 2018 Filed under: Education, Faith, God, Humanities, In 14 Ways, Love, Spirituality, Sprituality, Tolorance | Tags: Anthony Everest, Aremuorin, Bad Religion, Church, Religion Leave a comment
I was invited to church today by a friend and this was my earnest reply:
I tell you. I am not overtly keen on religious Church activities anymore for a zillion and one reasons. My love for Christ has nothing to do with a building.
I can reach God quicker than speed dial and wifi. Church does not define my faith in God or my relationship with him. I admire your Church going desires; it just does not thrill me as such anymore.
God is a spirit of worship and truth. What difference does it make where I worship him but in spirit and in truth?
Coming to church religiously does not make my faith true or spirit filled.
I think I will pass today. I tread organised religion carefully these days.
Learned many a lesson. I must pray and wait till I’m led again which church to plant myself in again.
My father is a rev and my family are all in the church business round the world, running church’s from Africa to America.
Reedeemed to Celestial…

The Church and the devil

Some churches are fronts for brotherhoods, cults and secret societies.
– Aremuorin
Said this before. Now paraphrased. Just because you are a Xtain does not mean you’re not a sinner. Some churches are fronts for brotherhoods, cults and secret societies. That’s how they get you ..’
Went to one massive well known one in London. They pursued me relentlessly to come back. Went reluctantly, then they, asked me to join their brotherhood.
I declined. Then they attacked me ferociously. They spun lies. They weaved hate. They said I was causing trouble. They even used other gullible, naive, young black people in church to attack me while sitting back and waiting for a provocation from me. I didnt give it to them.
After they shamelessly admitted their guilt apologetically; privately – they told me candidly I had to stop coming? Or else; their business will fail.
It was a subtle wise threat. I read it profoundly; in between the lines. You don’t have to be Einstein. This was a battle vs War. Which one do I prefer to win?
So. When you go to church and you are all singing and dancing. Think again and read in between the lines like me.
The devil does not give you anything for free. He does not have your best interest at heart. His role and sole goal is to kill and destroy you before you do. Word !!!!!!!
Do any of your favourite famous gospel artistes that went pop who tragically demised ring a bell?
When you begin to know God and how he preceeds his plan to succeed you will begin to take comfort in its long sufferings to wait. Obedience is better than sacrifice. God sees through the trimmings.
Like lovers unlike haters. Like prayers unlike strayers. Like builders unlike destroyers and so on ..’ Pay attention to those who love you. They may not be here tomorrow. They aren’t always the ones smiling with you.

Cece Winans stands by the gays. That’s love ..’
Posted: July 21, 2017 Filed under: Education, Faith, God, Love, Music, Spirituality, Tolorance, Uncategorized | Tags: Aremuorin, Cece Winans, Church, Gay, Hypocrisy, LGBT, Love, Religious Charlatans 1 Comment
Not trying to stir it today. But why are fornicating xtains going to church if gays can’t be ministered to in church or be there?
How stupid is this homophobia gone. Why are all the single baby mama’s in church? Cece Winans Good for you. Stand by your convictions ..’
What about the fornicating choir, pastor and Catholic priests? Seriously. Am I brain dead or what.
TBH – the whole freaking planet is fornicating or cohabiting outside wedlock by biblical standards. Again. I’m done with these stupid, holier-than-thou, dimwits. Really.
How many times is this, not going to go away. To be different is not a crime to anyone. Fix your pathetic lieing two faced hypocrisy and hypocritical indoctrination’s. Salvation is free. No one is without sin.
Your mother, or father, brother or sister, cousin, nephew, niece, son, daughter, best buddy, wife or husband, or pastor is probably gay as a Christmas tree – and you are non the wiser. You probably are gay yourself in denial.
Who is the gospel of Jesus really for – if not for the gays?
What about all the thieves in churches defrauding God in his name stealing money from the poor, the broken, or needy and vulnerable; looking stoosh right now. Dumb fools. Don’t make me come for you.
Go and read Ecclesiastes 7:20 again then take a chill pill. Jesus himself came from the house of whores. That’s why he knows one when he sees one – and they run to him. Word !!!!!!!
His spilled blood is the only reason you have a claim to salvation. Not by your works of self righteousness.
Salvation is not for you to give, approve or disapprove. It belongs to God. Worry about your own sin. More love. Less hate ..’
See, there are no victims anymore in sin when Jesus paid it all. He even said you without sin cast the first stone. Then, go sin no more – to the adulterous woman who ran to him for salvation.. Xtains like to ignore the first and last part of that jewel.
Condemnation is a sin. Neither is any sin greater or lesser. Humans are all sinners. Gay or straight and undecided. The church has lost it’s moral high ground on sin because it has lost its reputation. How can being gay be wickedness when Catholicism perpetuated slavery? The “Christian” BLACK Codes of 1724.
Get this inside of your wellness. Peace. Be amazing ..’
Don’t come on my page with that rubbish or else I will block you. Go away !!!

Abominations: ‘Religious Hypocrisy’ – #Seriously ..’ – #In14Ways #Lgbtq #MercyfulGrace
Posted: September 15, 2015 Filed under: Faith, God, Humanities, LGBT, Love, MercyfulGrace, Social Change, Tolorance | Tags: Africa, Bad Religion, Bible, Church, Faith, humanities, Jesus, Jesus Christ, lgbtq, Love, Religion, Spirituality Leave a commentWritten & Produced by Anthony Everest
What would love do?
I would never advocate sin or it’s glorification, but the selective witch-hunting of the lgbtq under the guise of abomination is excessive in isolation; hypocritically by self righteous religious folks. Yes, it’s labelled; as such in the bible, but not, the only one. (I do not see you stonning women for not being virgins on their wedding nights as the bible commands?).
How about, focus on other abominations. Those you are guilty of. Let God be God. You are guilty of abominable sins too; when you realise. Jesus paid it all. Focus on your victory in Jesus, and live a Holy life by him first, through example (reflection), and not by hypocrisy. Practise what you preach !!!
