The Christian Bible is a complex book composed of many booklets that contain various topics. This is because it is a condensed study text meant for policy makers, government administrators, scholars, and philosophers. The Books contain approximately 6,000 years of history ending around 90 A.D. with the remaining history of Christianity being contained in modern texts, scrolls, manuscripts, textbooks, annotations, and artifacts.
Overall, the Bible covers various Hebrew interactions with other people during various time periods such Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Rome, Greece, the Mediterranean, and possibly Asia. keeping in mind people walked a lot during that time period and the modern understanding that India is part of Asia; traveling to Asia does not seem far fetched. Various historical facts based in Archeology, Anthropology, History, Etymology, Societal Norms, and Human Behaviors can corroborate at least some of the facts.
With Anti-Authoritarianism based Christianity, which many church members would call heathenism or paganism; the behaviors are rooted in resentment, anger, frustration, inferiority complex and possible blatant misteachings as a form of reverse psychology and likely sadism. Some of the misteachings may be rooted in lack of understanding from the church leadership who are supposed to be ministers or evangelists, and often a bit of inferiority complex from their own shortcomings and insecurities.
While some Anti-Authoritarian Christian behaviors, meaning anti-authoritarianism based on Christian teachings, are low priority and require extensive teaching and discussion, there are various behaviors that are an obvious indicator someone is not a Christian and a few bible verses that are often in focus during a Christian Counseling Session. These verses can lead each conversation before delving into specific behaviors and concluding with an overview of representations of Christianity.
The Bible verses that of initial priority are
- You are a rebellious people
- You are the Lords temple
- Made in God’s image
- Love the Lord Your God
- By their works you will know them
Many Bible verses have been taken out of context and given innuendos or explained in a sadistic manner that is not representative of Christianity, its requirements for membership, or its traditional context and meaning.
Some additional verses that may come into these conversations include:
- Exhort one another
- Judge not, lest you be judged
Often times a minister or evangelist might not feel comfortable with a certain topic, and a ministry team or group of evangelists can address the issue more effectively if the church member consents to a group meeting. The other options are usually a Christian Counselor, Lead Pastor, Head Priest, Deacon, or Senior Evangelist.
Here, the issue so far is requirements for membership, misrepresentation, and qualifications for addressing certain behaviors and discovering an action plan for correcting the behaviors that have placed a church member in breach of agreements for membership, fellowship, socialization, or church interaction, and public representation of the church and its teachings.
Topics that are often asked about include:
- Grace and Forgiveness
- Legalism
this is often contrasted or rebuttled with holiness, sanctification of G-d’s temple, and public representation.
Some of the more extreme behaviors that can result from anti-authoritarian behaviors can include:
- Being intimate with an animal
- Being intimate with a woman and her daughter
- Killing someone
- Participating in Seances
- Becoming a Wizard
Other behaviors also have a high priority for public representation, including as a member of a church but are easier to address through ministry, counseling, teaching, attending sermons during regular church hours, and through small group bible studies.
- Lying
- Stealing
- Lust
- Adultery
- Premarital Sex
- Perjury
- Lack of Financial Responsibility
- Disrespect of Parents, Elders, or Legal Guardians
- Diet
- Haircuts
- Hygiene
These high priority items are not critical behavioral changes and there are other behaviors that require an analysis on social interactions and assimilation contrasted to requirements for membership, including participation in ministry if qualified, non-judgementalness, loving your neighbors, and being in the world but not of it. All of this has specific contexts.
By their works, you will know them and misrepresentation within and without the church is a constant theme in these conversations.
Often times, with false teachings, it is a misguided attempt at building faith:
- See if G-d punishes you
- G-d gives good things to the good and to the bad
- Live under grace rather than legalism
- Confess your sins and have G-d forgive you
- Learn to be born again
The problem with this thought philosophy is that Christianity is supposed to build up good behavioral expression which is also referred to as behavioral traits or genetic expression. This behavioral expression is built up overtime and identifying as a Christian signifies that these behaviors are genetic expression, inherited behavioral traits, or a work in progress. The bible quotes the behavioral modification procedure as taking 3-4 generations of births before it becomes embedded in RNA expression.
Good behaviors have little to do with morality and have more to do with social integration, problem solving, critical thinking, and establishing a place of stability. As an example, in a modern workplace, there are various factors that are requirements in order for a business agreement to be valid. If a business agreement is not valid, then it makes no sense to sign it or entertain any further meetings. The caveat would be an agreement to modify the proposed agreement per the objections and have it ready for review during a follow up meeting.
The goal of these behaviors in a business setting is often expedited business agreements that are mutually understood by all parties and have a near 0% rate of breach or cause for dispute. This results in a better business environment where resources are almost always guaranteed to be available if an agreement can be reached and where the deliverables or scope of services have a high probability of meeting quality expectations.
These behaviors are often known as ethics and conduct in a professional or business environment and have a lot to do with the sustainability of a functional economic environment rather than being a moral and upright person that is perfect and flawless with their behaviors.
Similarly, a person identifying and representing themselves as a Christian signifies that they have certain behaviors that are often positive factors for societal integration including meeting expectations of agreements, following majority rules and legislation, and being a neutral, non-intrusive, or positive member of a human living area.
The caveat is assimilation for non-illegal behavior that is considered sinful, and this can be contentious with issues such as dating, drinking, smoking and behaviors like lust, anger, and insults. Often the advice is non-participation instead of judgement or exhortation because exhortation is something that happens within the church rather than outside of it. Obviously, many people get offended over this which can lead to false teachings, resentment based sadism, and anti-authoritarianism that can lead to lawsuits, injury, or even conflict for a church.
The final steps and goals of these discussions are misrepresentation, agreements, and a decision to leave church or continue to participate in the behavior modification procedures that can result in a more stable and fulfilling life and will lead to success outside of the church for most situations.
- By their works you will know them
- Sanctify yourself
- I am the Lord which will sanctify you (prayer)
