FEAR BASED ESCAPISM THEOLOGY
My definition of escapism theology is rooted in the desire to escape one or more of
the following; pain, discomfort, loss,
loneliness, the unknown, disappointments, commitments, callings, responsibilities,
persecution, disciplines, poverty, addiction, relationships, debt, difficulty, inferiority, discouragement, failure,
disability, sickness, and most of all, death
and hell.
Now for the people of no faith (trust) in the
Creator, some of their solutions are; reckless living, busyness, denial, love
of money, suicide, etc.
For the religious; dead works, public devotion, choosing to believe in a
pre tribulation rapture, etc.
People of faith (trust) in Yeshua (Jesus) know that He is in control of all things as the
coming King of Kings that will soon rule all of this earth righteously and is
looking for believers that will rise above the fears and have trust (faith) in
Him to be with them through all things, being of good courage in the warfare
that they encounter in this world, fighting the good fight of faith (trust) to the end of their life, whenever that
may happen.
To participate in the latter,
you must put aside most of what you have been taught, what you have chosen to
believe, and what is popular to believe. Then, seek the Kingdom of Yeshua (Jesus)
and His righteousness, dare to
ask Him to show you the truth from the manual for life (the Christian Bible).
Some, in the religious realm,
will use their self determined superiority to convince you of lies that they
have chosen to believe through control, fear and manipulation. Do not let the
size of a group or how impressive they are, in the worlds terms, keep you from
seeking the truth, for you will know it when you find it.
To know all about God is not
enough, you must get to Know God through
a relationship with Him. ‘Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the
gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through
it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a
few find it’. Mat 7:13-14
Don’t take my word for this, it’s
your responsibility to check it out.
