RELIGION IS BRAINWASHING
Hello steemians @steemchurch community, today i bring to you God's word and i pray that you will be blessed by it. The tactic of brainwashing is to indoctrinate people by repeating over and over again the same teaching without clear explanation from the Bible until their subjects become blind followers. Once you have been brainwashed, you will lose your power to reason out. You will be deprived of the right to question. You will be deprived of the right to have your own opinion. You become a fanatic until you will seriously believe a lie.
Brainwashing/inculcation/indoctrination is one in the same word in meaning. These words are used in reference to promoting a one-sided opinion as being truthful, without allowing access to other ideas and with no reservation in calling it unjustifiably, the ‘truth’. Considering the adverse ramifications of such methods and results of brainwashing, this is nothing less than mental child abuse of the worst kind and one day it will be viewed that way.
Religion is brainwashing. That’s their method. While in Christianity, it is sin washing . Once you repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as Lord in your life, His blood will wash away all your sins. You are forgiven. Now, when you become a true believer in Christ, God will take hold of your heart, but He will never control your mind. You still have the power to reason out. Open your Bible to Isaiah 1:18 , “Come now and let us reason together says the Lord , though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson, they will be like wool.”
God Himself challenged us to reason with Him. He said, “Come now let us reason together.”
It is not God’s intention to brainwash Christians. If there are so called Christian churches that brainwashes their members, it is not God’s church. That church is a cultic religion.
However, whether we want to admit it or not, forms of brainwashing also occur within mainstream Christianity – and not just on the cultic fringes.
As Christians, where we see other Christians trying to control or manipulate, we need to challenge it and stamp it out. It is not acceptable for the body of christ to self-harm in this way.
Why?
Well, here’s the thing: an institution that churns out generations of non-thinking moralists; a church that demands money; a spiritual leader who coerces or uses emotional mind games…NONE of this is what Jesus taught or was about. NONE of this is The Gospel, and it has no place here.
But isn’t it still the case that bringing up kids to be Christians is brainwashing them, and stops them making up their own minds?
Well…no.
Why? Because Christianity isn’t the assent to a propositional truth. It isn’t the agreement with a statement about how the world is. It isn’t the maintaining of a set of moral rules to live by. It just isn’t. If you disagree, fine, but you’re wrong.
Being a Christian is not just something you think, or do, or believe. It’s something you are. It’s something you have freely chosen to be. And it happens by freely inviting God’s spirit into your heart, by welcoming into your life the greatest love in the universe. You cannot be brainwashed into love. Forced love isn’t love at all – it’s emotional rape.
Why do so many people allow themselves to be brainwashed by organized religion?
( 1st John 2:20 ) “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.” ( Verse 27) “And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you .” All true believers in Christ are anointed and that anointing remains in them. As long as you are a true born again Christian, the Holy Spirit anoints you and that anointing remains in you.
Some Christians are afraid to question people who perform miracles because they thought that only these people are anointed, and if they question them, it would seem that as if they are questioning God.
Beware of becoming a fanatic. Use your common sense. Don’t be afraid to question the motives of your leader if you have doubts. If that leader teaches doctrines that contradict the Bible, then get out from there as fast as you can.
Religion is brainwashing and all kinds of superstitions and fanaticism is there. Christianity is sin washing not brainwashing.
Thanks for reading
I cannot follow your argument. If religion is brainwashing, and Christianity is a religion, then you are implying that Christianity is brainwashing. But then you turn around and immediately say that it is not brainwashing.
Well, the main message of this post is that we should not wait until we are being brainwashed to do things according to doctrines that are not relevant and those that's does not guaranteed heaven, study the Bible and understanding what the truth about Christianity is
Thank you
