The Really New Testament of Jesus Light

A Preface

Exactly 500 years ago Martin Luther posted his '95 Theses'. He started a Protestant Revolution and changed the world for the better. We hope to do something similar.

This is a revised Bible for Uncertain Christians, who believe but don’t KNOW. The reality is that none of us really KNOW, all we have are beliefs. We prefer light to heat… This is the Really New Testament of Jesus Light

Written by Marty Miller, inspired by God (at least I believe so :)

-----

1) In the beginning, God created things… but... hmm... well we don’t really know exactly how... so we won’t make any assertions. We simply say: We choose to believe in God as our creator.

2) And a revelation: in the End… well... we don’t really know how things end either. We will accept our fate on faith.

3) How things started or will end is not as important as how we live now.

For a more optimal life now, we still endorse faith in Jesus…

Belief is empowering!
Some secular confirmation: As Henry Ford is said to have said…
Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right.

4) We endorse faith on the hope that its power will be used for more good than evil. Religious power will be used; we want the power to be well directed.

5) When religious power is used to judge, control or oppress… It is the worst kind of evil: sinning in His name. Judge Not!

6) Ours is a freedom-loving faith. We re-assert Martin Luther and the priesthood of the believer.

7) Ours is a simple faith… All you need is Jesus.

8) For whosoever believeth in Him… Is probably in pretty good shape. :)

9) We don’t demand that everyone believe in Him… We do not seek such control.

10) We don’t demand allegiance to a sacred text. Not even this one. You can eat bacon-wrapped shrimp at a gay friendly party.  Not a big deal.

You certainly don’t need to worship the entire Bible.

Feel free to believe the previous Bible when it encourages you to love.

Please reject it when it leads you to punish, judge or control.

11) You have a God-given right to believe in God as You wish. No one should take that from You.

12) Nor should You take it from Anyone. Everyone has a right to believe as They wish.

13) We hold these truths as self-evident… Forgiveness is freedom. Retained anger is you cursing yourself. Forgiveness is divine. Feel the divine flow through you as you forgive.

14) Grace is divine. We should extend His divine grace.

15) The fundamental message of Jesus?

Is one of grace: all is forgiven to those who ask!

16) Those who seek His grace…

Are obligated to extend it.

17) We aspire to be Good Samaritans.

When slapped, we should turn the other cheek.

18) We want to go the extra mile…

We don’t want to cast stones.

19) We want to remember… and practice…

Kind words turn away wrath.

20) As our sins are forgiven…

We forgive those of others… even the different. :)

21) This is the path to peace.

Worship this day our God of peace.

Let us spread God’s bounty so that all may thrive.

22) We can live together in prosperity.

Life is good, but we know it can be better.

23) Some once sang: “We’d like to teach the world to sing…”

In perfect harmony”... We say: sing it again, Sam. :)

24) People can choose to believe and live according to their own faith.

We will live and let live and all will be good.

25) Let there be peace on Earth…

And good will toward men… and women… and any other gender identity! :)

26) The End? The partially obsolete Bible implies the future is written. We don’t believe that is true: We believe the future is unwritten.

27) You have choices… our future is uncertain... And what you do matters.

28) We want you to find peace in your heart and soul… And share it with the world.

29) Find the divine… Learn to love and let love.

30) Help us create earthly gardens of prosperity: Give us your tired, your poor huddled masses,  yearning to breathe free…

31) If You have but the faith of a mustard seed… We can move mountains… help us move mountains for peace.

32) Help us direct His and Our power in beautiful, humane ways.

In Jesus name we pray!
