I feel so free since I became follower of Jesus; I don't have to worry about all traditions that man made, no worry of food and clothes, no worry being in predicaments because everyting I get is for my benefit.
However, I feel we are abusing this freedome coming from YHWH and Jesus and neglecting to spread it to the world who don't know them. Even so-called Jesus' followers are not showing much gratitude with their action after they become believers. In America, most people own the Bible but Christians don't seem to know much of what's in it. In Okinawa, Japan, most of them don't even know about the Bible, YHWH, or Jesus, even though there are many American and Okinawan churches there.
It is about time we realize our responsiblity according to what is going on in the Christian community.

Why do I say Christian community is abusing the freedom in Christ?
Because they are neglecting tellng people about Jesus. It is so obvious that churchgoers are not reading the bible, else they would know that Jesus is teaching us "love our enemy". Look at the trinitarian churches. They are supporting the military and many of their members are joining the military. This itself is enough evidence how chaotic Christian communities are.

So we have responsiblity to tell churchgoers to read the New Testamant for themselves. This is another harvest field which is being neglected by pastors and priests especially. we should not rely on pastors and priests because they apparently dont want their people to know Jesus's messages in entirety.
