KJV 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
The religions that tell you not to practice meditation are trying to keep you out of Gods temple. Their reason is that they feel only they as high priests can enter the temple. Not so as we have seen. The religious people who come against meditation as they do, are actually coming against Jesus Christ. It was Jesus Christ who said in the scriptures that the Kingdom of God is within you. No one can change that. The only place that you can read the words of Jesus Christ are in the Bible and that’s what it says.
IT IS ALL WITHIN YOU
Luke 17:21 The Kingdom of God is within you
I mean how can it be any plainer. It is within you.
Yet religious people come against meditation. They refute the need to go within oneself and find God, why, because they want you to have to come to them. That sounds terrible but it was Jesus who said it.
Matthew 23:13
13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither
go in yourselves, neither allow ye them that are entering to go in.
Note that Jesus is talking to the scribes and Pharisees which are the religious teachers of the day. The pastors of the day and he calls them hyprocrites. Why. Because they are always so concerned about people going to the temple or going to church but they block them from going into themselves where the true temple is. So why the word hyprocrite. Because they want you in church not that you may be blessed but that you may support them. You shut up the Kingdom of Heaven.
RELIGION IS TRULY THE ANTI CHRIST
It was Jesus who said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and it was Jesus who said that it is religious people who shut that Kingdom up. They prevent people from going in because they scare people about the need for meditation by saying that there are demons and devils in the mind. In Matthew 15:14 it says that religious leaders are blind leaders of the blind. In other words they cannot see and they are showing the way to others who cannot see and they both wind up in a ditch.
