christ

R. Jerome Harris

A Disciple of Christ in the strictest sense. I no longer belong to, nor am I a member of, nor do I hold loyalty or allegiance to any religious organization or religious system. I do not believe The Most High God authorized the establishment of any religious system in existence today; and, especially the one called by men, Christianity. I view Christ as my only Head, Master, Teacher, Owner, and Lord. (John 8:31-32, 1 Cor 11:3) His God is my God and I champion his teachings above anything issuing out of ANY religious organization.

My entire existence is one of worship and obedience
to God and service to Christ as his servant. At Luke 9:35 The Most High God commanded that we listen to His Son. This is what I do. I cannot listen to anyone or anything - such as religious organizations, men, women etc - who speak with voices that do not repeat what comes out of Christ's mouth; who is The Word of God (God's Spokesman).

I am a very concerned writer as my conscience and everything that I know and am inside tells me that something is very wrong with what men call Christianity. It does not have the face, the mentality and kind heart of the Christ. It is something else; something evil. It deals with and relishes in concealment, untruth, deception and is death-dealing. It's cruel history is powerful testimony of it's mark of death upon the human family. It is a great impostor and misleader of men. It does so by presenting itself as innocent, chaste and clean on the outside.

I am not here to win arguments or to champion the teaching of one religious organization over another. I can care less about what any of them teach. It is what Christ teaches that is tantamount.

Neither do I engage in besmirching members belonging to the various religious organizations because their views are not in alignment with what I write. It brings me no pleasure seeing others engaging in such activity and I refuse to be drawn into joining others when they do it. It is not the way of the Master.

I can no longer sit idly by in a stagnant and controlled atmosphere of religious organization which places so many in a morally sitting posture. I have stood up, unchained, a free man as Christ has made me, to speak as he taught; unabashed and unafraid of what human entities might say or do.

I have found satisfaction of an insatiable need to be something much more than a reflection of a religious system or religious organization as so so many are in activity to them. I have found it in the unadulterated teachings of my Master, Christ. I must be true to myself, God and Christ. I am a student, disciple, and champion of Christ. I belong to him and I will never let any religious system by any name or claim take me captive again.

Differences of viewpoint on my part will most certainly be misconstrued as besmirching, unfaithfulness, rebelliousness, disloyalty and disobedience to God by those loyal to the religious organizations they belong to. In good conscience I cannot give such loyalty to human entities. I do not praise men no matter what claims they make for themselves or how revered they are to others. Such praise and loyalty belongs to God and Christ;
not men.
