The difference between the One True God and every other pagan religion (including all the fake distorted manipulated variations of "Christianity”) is that God did not establish a kingdom here on earth that you can see with your eyes and tell someone ... 'look! there is the real religion'... no. God established his kingdom WITHIN the hearts of men. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. [John 18:36]
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. [Luke 17:20] People have it all wrong when they embrace Christianity as a means to attain a "positive final resting place"… Jesus defines eternal life in John 17:3: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. At the crux of true Christianity is a relationship. Knowledge of the only True God who is HOLY. and knowledge of Jesus Christ - aka- God with us who sacrificially saves his people. - Jesus is defined as "God with us and Savior" and Christ is the picture-perfect human role model of a life lived in selfless passion to radically love others by serving, uplifting and setting others free so they may prosper in their God ordained destiny. All who miss this understanding have a vain worthless religion that will profit them nothing in the end. This is why Jesus also said: Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [Matt.7:21-23] There is a True Faith and a True way of expressing a religious devoted life before God, but no one can teach YOU what that looks like. Just like our relationships with our children can look different because their needs wants and abilities differ. So is God, the Father of our Spirits, with us. God seeks those who worship Him from their own human spirit in their own genuine holy way of expression. No established individual religious institution can give that to everyone. [hence the outrageous divisions]. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. [John 4:23-24] We recommend you do not seek to understand God through religion, but question God directly on the logic of scripture. Not how people interpret it, but how you interpret the scriptures personally. God is not far from those who seek truth.

I am a love addict. At face value you might think that sounds attractive, but I have suffered greatly for my obsession. An obsession born out of being raised in a love-deprived vacuum of emotional neglect, verbal abuse, and physical assaults. An incessant hunger birthed out of… prolonged starvation. Who is to blame? In addict-mode I have been a glutton for pain, a masochist for heart break. My body mind and soul has been raped pillaged and plundered since I was 12, and many times with my consent. Yeah… I said it… many times I consented… I admit. But I consented to be loved… I consented to make-love. Not to be sexed and left… not to be used, then abandoned… ravished and later despised! What happened?! Was it all a lie!? I consented to love… I did not consent to deception! There is a difference, is there not? Evil is cunning and its ways are deception, but The-Truth sets free! What I have learned is: Love is not made, so you can NOT “Make-love”. “Making-love” is a deceptive term used to manipulate the mind. Do not let this term manipulate you! Having sex with someone You-Do-Not-Love will not magically produce love in-you for-them. Having sex with someone who Does-Not-Love-You will not magically produce love in-them for-you. The act of sex alone is-not loving! Selah. Sex can NOT create love… so love is NOT produced by sexual activities. Sex can NOT increase love… so love does NOT grow as a result of sexual acts. Sex can NOT generate love… so love is NOT the effect of sexual performance. Sex was designed to be experienced within the boundaries of (1) A man and woman already in-love with each other and apart from having had any sexual experience with each other, and (2) a couple who have made a legally binding commitment of loyalty to each other for a lifetime. In this context:
All deviations from this God-Instituted Design is hurting humanity: mentally, physically, emotionally, sexually, romantically and spiritually!!! Too many sexual encounters (sexual promiscuity) diminishes sexual satisfaction; diminished sexual satisfaction produces intrigue into sexually deviant behaviors; and embracing sexually deviant behaviors imprisons you and greatly limits your ability to find a naturally productive, healthy and fulfilling sex life and partner. Sexually deviant behaviors include obsessive pornography, masturbation with objects, pedophilia, Bondage sex, painful/abusive sex, orgies, gang bangs, sex with animals, exhibitionist, etc. The sexual arousal behind all these sexual practices are complete deviations to what is naturally productive and healthy for a human sexual relationship. Sexual deviance is a bi-product of dysfunctional views of intimacy and unhealthy sexual experiences. Relationship breakups hurt, but Relationship breakups that have experienced sexual intimacy can be traumatic to a person’s psyche, producing insecurities, trust-issues, low self-esteem, diminished self-worth; and it can callous individuals emotionally, making them lack empathy and remorse; all of which are serious road blocks to meaningful relationships in general. Sexual intimacy activates a soul-tie or subconscious bond designed to sustain hope for a lifetime partnership through better or worse. This is why people stay with an abusive partner for unreasonable amounts of time, and endure unreasonable amounts of abuses in the name of “love”. This sometimes blind and persevering hope is a natural result of sexual intimacy designed to help a marriage commitment last. It is the violation of this soul-tie/subconscious-bond that is the motivation behind “crimes of passion”. Never has there been a crime of passion where there was no sexual intimacy exchanged. Never. Bottom line is:
A huge assault is being done to our minds. Visually manufactured information and entertainment is sedating our minds and stealing our potential. Reading is now an essential skill for survival… why?
When you read a book that has no pictures, your mind is having to “work” in order to formulate a visual picture in your mind. This process is actually exercising our brain, exponentially, through imagination. Our imagination is so powerful that when reading a story we can creatively imagine “sound”. From various characters, whether it be a woman talking or a young boy speaking to a father, or a reptilian orc growling at an elderly wizard. The very task of engaging our imagination to process the information we are reading literally exercises, strengthens, and builds to our brain capacity – which IS itself a MUSCLE! When we watch the television… our brain is mostly at rest due to the fact that no imagination is required to process the information being depicted. Through the TV we see, hear and many times are subtly and suggestively “told” how to perceive information we are viewing. The need to critically assess the information or utilize our imagination is done for us; leaving our brain-muscle at rest the entire time. What is the physical difference of a person who weight lifts 2 hours every day of his life vs. a person who chooses to be bed-ridden for most of their life? In like manor unregulated hours of spectating television programs, and various media platforms are subjecting developing minds to massive cognitive lethargy. In fact… children today are genuinely experiencing increasing levels of anxiety in school because their critical thinking faculties are inactive for the majority of their time in home and life. Problem solving is stress inducing. Problem solving is essential for survival at the most basic levels of human need. If school is a place to challenge the mind and the brain is a muscle… challenging the mind is “resistance-training” and problem solving stress are the “weights”. Reading is producing genuine anxiety in students of all stages, because they are losing mental fortitude. The increased anxiety we are witnessing today in America culturally, is in part, a result to decreased tolerance to some of the most basic stressors required for human survival. As we increasingly indulge in visually manufactured information and entertainment; the more our society as a whole, becomes less tolerant of stressors required for critical thinking and problem solving. The result being a passive existence where resistance is expressed by complaining and problem solving is reduced to begging for assistance. Human characteristics of perseverance, determination and high-work-ethics are increasingly perceived as extraordinary qualities. Critical logic affirms that only within independent-self-sufficiency is personal security, stability and safety attained; while dependence for basic needs, on anything other-than what is within your control, is uncertain-security with no guarantee of safety, stability or future provision. Today Americans are in a divide because independent-self-sufficiency is viewed less and less of a possibility causing dependence-on-entitlements to be a dignified means of survival. People today struggle to see beyond survival due to how weakened we have become cognitively. But if you are a dependent in any area of your life… survival in the long-term requires problem solving your total independence. There is no quick solution to this assault. We must unplug from visually manufactured information and entertainment as much as possible. Read an article every day. Require children to use their imagination. By the use of hypothetical scenarios, challenge your children to solve realistic world problems. Ask them to give personal opinions to controversial topics. Don’t judge their response good or bad but gauge their thought process; Challenge their ideology with questions not statements. These are critical mind exercises at all ages. Solve Logic puzzles. Play Sudoku. Read. Read. Read. Embrace ways to become an entrepreneur. Technology is a tool to help us do more in life… don’t let it control you…control. it. I hate myself see, for being so unclean, my self-esteem so low that I’m cheaper than a hoe! See the only value I have for me is when a man’s gaze is fixed on me that I give myself for free, cause no one knew how to love me except by saying I was pretty. Sitting here alone I think, “could someone ever love me?... I’ll let them do me IF they promise to stay, cause the sex is ok… but what I really WANT… is for someone to stay, and hold me, caress me, give me lots of kisses and hugs, cause this my friend is the only way I get love.” I’m hurt you see, I’ve been raped repeatedly, mentally tortured by manipulators, assaulted by deceivers and traitors, scarred by haters, neglected and rejected by the safe – loved and nurtured by danger. Destined for pain and misery, mixed-messages and promiscuity; every dying second… anticipated, every love-less sex… my soul mutilated. I’m addicted you see, to the pleasure process, from when the eyes meet, lips kiss, adrenaline, and the chemicals released before and during sex. Feeling privileged and completely blessed, forgetting about the after-effects of unprotected sex! In the arms of a lover feeling safe and protected, pain no longer detected, engrossed in the delusion of being intimately connected, forgetting the many ways I’m rejected and believing for the moment I’m accepted. And when the deed is done all the blessed feelings quickly fade, my insecurities rise up and I begin to masquerade as if all is well inside me, “I’m ok if you leave or stay” “cause I’m a strong girl and ‘No’ I’m not afraid to be alone, leave or stay! I’m OK! I’m OK!” but with a smile on my face I know I made another mistake. Another mistake, another face, another name to the list I Hate! Another reason to hate me more, another asshole out the door. Rage and self-rape sizzle under my skin as the torments of emotional pain begins. I hold myself responsible… another asshole is out the door cause I believed for a moment I was loveable when I’m nothing but a whore. The pain in my chest begins to suffocate me and a screaming in my head begins to shout “I…HATE…MEEEEE!” I fall to the floor and cry till I can’t no more, re-living the list of reasons no one will ever see me as more. I wake up to a new day and to everyone I seem happy, repressing the details of the night before I’m able to be smiling and laughing, hugging and clapping, but when the service is over I’m lacking. Needing love like lungs crave oxygen my eyes go on the prowl for a man’s gaze again. Avoiding the unattractive married or committed, trying to respect others with my limits, but having no form of boundaries except “Don’t hurt me please.” Confusing pleasure for kindness and flatter for respect, I’m re-engaged in the Tormenting Pleasure Process. Living a life of ambiguity, increasing the pain of unloveability, seeing the world as an unsafe place to be, and … Tears… my only hope for purity. The purpose for sharing this poem is to wake the self-righteous, the religious and the shallow minded to the reality that all sinful lives come at a price, and even when people don’t seem remorseful for their sinful or immoral behavior, it does not mean that they are not afflicted and crying out to God for help in their solitude. The church must rise up and seek the Lord for a Holy Love that will not compromise the Truth. All sin beats us up and we live in a time where the children literally do not know right from wrong. May the Lord magnify His love and His Truth, may we the people seek God with a renewed urgency to help, love and heal; May we seek the Lord with a new hunger and thirst for righteousness and pursue the power of holiness in America, for the glory honor and praise to the One who was, who is, and is to come! Amen. By Noemi Soto
Long suffering is the sting of truth understood and wisdom applied. It is the product of sober eyes and honest assessment. Afraid to live yet compelled to survive... Terrified of love yet desperate to embrace it... Petrified of pain yet dwelling in affliction... Long suffering produces endurance to persevere and sustains in us a right spirit before our Holy God. It is endured only by the grace of God and His mercy towards mankind. It is a product of balance. A balance where man is submitted to God, even in weakness, and God’s power is demonstrated thru man as overcoming strength. So often we deceive ourselves and others when we take the credit for our accomplishments or praise others for theirs. It is how we glorify man and deny the power of God. Remember that apart from God we can do nothing.

Understanding Humanity & ChristianityThere is logic behind all human behavior. Christianity was never intended to be above rational thought; and what is good & evil, right or wrong, is best understood by what we have individually seen, heard and experienced. So how can we discern the difference? What is the logic behind some of the most atrocious acts of violence or crimes against humanity? What logic or "good" could there be to evils like murder and war? How real is spirituality and what role does it play in human behavior? Follow us here as our Visionary attempts to explain and expand awareness to the powerful and painful complex realities of the human experience and biblical controversies. Archives
