In these podcasts I will attempt to revisit age old traditions that have, through the centuries, warped some of the basics of the Christian faith and the simplicity of the Gospel in general. I don't assume to have it all together in everything, but one thing I know, if you read the text without "religionism" glasses, you'll discover some beautiful truths that religion has tried to silence for most of its history. Most of all, I will approach the Gospel with a view to relive the words of my Master in Matthew 11:29-30 "“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” This, for me, is the Gospel: bare and fair.

“Whatever law is proposed in Parliament must comply with the Constitution, otherwise it must be amended and adequately modified!”I immediately thought of all the doctrines, catechisms, and various opinions by which I am regularly attacked, and which are so ingrained in the mind of Christian religionism that they obscure - if they could - the beauty of the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. The constitution of the believer is what cannot and must not be touched.“Whatever law is proposed in Parliament must comply with the Constitution, otherwise it must be amended and adequately modified!”I immediately thought of all the doctrines, catechisms, and various opinions by which I am regularly attacked, and which are so ingrained in the mind of Christian religionism that they obscure - if they could - the beauty of the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

"Take up your cross and follow me!" What does this phrase that Jesus left us really mean? Is it true that we must "die to ourselves"? What if there was a totally different meaning to this religionistic tradition that instead of condemning us could bring us abundance of life?
What is the ministry of death? And why does the church persist in calling it a "commandment"? What is the law for and why do I call the "sermon on the mount" a "killer sermon"? And what on earth has a helicopter got to do with all of this?
There exists a beautiful symbiosis between grace and faith where one cannot be without the other. Like the two wings of a dove, both grace and faith are needed for this great thing called salvation. With a new look at the parable of the prodigal son.

Matthew 4: 4 " It is written: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God "».
Every word. Small, big, important, long, short or difficult, every word spoken by God and revealed to us by his spirit is a container of life! God's word is a container of life that only needs to be opened by revelation in order to be enjoyed!

Ten reasons why I believe you cannot lose your salvation and a challenge to prove me wrong to anyone who thinks otherwise.
Just as Jesus was sinless by birth and not by behavior, so too am I without sin not because I behave well but because God has recreated me without sin forever.
I know it is a difficult concept to digest - given all the lies that have been fed to us over the centuries - but I encourage you to watch and re-watch this video, check and double-check the scriptures, absorb the spirit of revelation and finally consider the possibility that what the apostle John says is actually true: "Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because the seed of God dwells in him and cannot sin because he is born of God."
"The life we believe we ??receive at the moment of salvation is the life of Jesus Christ and is eternal."
"The Bible is not the Word of God and it is the Spirit who speaks to us, not the letter."
"We are saved when we accept the offer of adoption made to us by God. Once we become children of God, nothing and no one will ever be able to "un-children” us from him."
23 articles that are designed to provide the believer with a plumb line, a spirit level, as litmus test, a divine filter with which to sift through any doctrine proposed to them.
So if this doctrine, belief, tradition, message, sermon, teaching, post, or directive which is presented to you from the pulpit, in a book, in a video, on TV or in any other way, is not in line even with just one of these articles, which I call "constitutional", the doctrine must change.
Simple.
How many different sections does Jesus recognize in His church? Which are the only two locations for a human being to be? Why was Jesus tunic not to be torn but had to be gambled? And why were the garments divided in four parts? The answer is simpler than one can imagine.
What's the difference between a "paedìon" and a "nepiòs"? Jesus says that unless we change our way of seeing God from one to the other .... we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. It seems to be quite an important statement to consider, no?
What's the difference between a shepherd and a cow boy in the life of a father, a husband, a wife, an employer, a worker, a common citizen? And what is the solution to a label we don't want to have to wear?

What do we find that the five women in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus have in common? Could you be one of them?
The web of fear that's being spun by the powers that be and that's paralyzing the whole world.
What is this corona virus that has put humanity upside down? Everyone seems to have an opinion, but one thing if for sure, a very large part of thee world is caught in a vice of fear and doesn't know what to do. I have a himble suggestion that I hope will be helpful to someone.

Dopo avere per caso ascoltato la solita frecciata di un predicatore "religionista" a proposito della Ipergrazia, provo a dimostrare che, sì, effettivamente Dio ha perdonato anche i peccati che non abbiamo ancora commesso.
Where is that dividing line that altered the whole course of human history? The crib or the cross? Is it possible that the majority of Christians still try to access the blessing using an "antiquated" system? In this message we see why sometime, we cannot get "blessed" exactly because of what we do.
The archangel Gabriel gives the prophet Daniel seven "happenings" that will take place when "Messiah will be 'cut off'" approximately 483 years after Artaxerxes' order to "restore and build Jerusalem". These seven "happenings" spell magnificently what our Lord achieved on the cross. Once and for all.
Jesus at His best, 100% pure, no additives, no colourants, nothing added. Just Jesus. Simple, powerful, beautiful, gracious, magnificent Jesus. And nothing more.

How could the primitive church reach the world with the Gospel if they didn't have a Bible to read from? Simple, they didn't use a book, they used message.
Why do people go to church? Bottom line? They want to be told "Life's going to be OK. God's OK. You're OK." Is that your experience when YOU go to church? Grace will assure you of that, but let's not be "Grace proud". There's still a need for growth!

Do you know how a seed grows? Can you go to sleep, like the farmer in Mark 4, and trust the process? Can you rest in the absolute knowledge that the love of God will prevent you from any and all sort of judgments? That you have been judged in Christ and you will never be judged again? That there are no "shoats" and no "geeps" in the Kingdom of God? That in the whole of humanity, there are only "forians" and "againstians".
