>>375524>It doesn't matter which religion you chooseHow can the same God be through contradictory religions?
Jesus said that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him.
>tired of everything>everything is compromised, money and control is unimaginably abusedThe patriarchs dealt with this issue. Abraham came out of Babylon under a one world system under Nimrod, full of idolatry, sensuality, and economic power. He wandered the desert for decades waiting for the promise which God made; a heavenly country to inherit. Moses refused the pleasures and power of Egypt in order to share in the sufferings of the people of God, to seek that better country.
The book of Hebrews (chapter 11) says they had many chances to go back, but continued to desire the promised heavenly country. "Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them."
Jesus taught that the kingdom of heaven is the fulfillment of these promises, the future country which will actually endure forever with power and justice (Daniel 2:44 mentions this kingdom). He said to repent and believe on His name for the forgiveness of sins so you can enter, and then live by His instructions and begin laboring for Him so you can increase your rewards and inheritance. He promised His 12 disciples that because they gave up literally everything for Him and stood with Him in His trials, they will receive thrones in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus also said whoever gives up anything for His sake and the Gospel's will receive a hundred times as much and inherit eternal life.
Jesus said that whoever tries to hold on to his life in this age will lose it, but whoever loses his life for His sake will find it. Think of if Abraham tried to stay in Nimrod's Babylon to find a political solution, or if Moses tried to stay in Egyptian politics and reform it to help His people. They would have just died out assimilating and practicing the same culture that was so disgusting and wearisome to them. They had to decide that a political solution was not going to work, and stake their and their children's future on blind faith in the promise that God made.
Jesus makes the same offer to us now
I decided to pursue the kingdom of heaven as Jesus spoke. Cured me of the weariness and frustration of powerlessness at seeing my people being assimilated by money, psychology and distractions. Now I'm much healthier and more able to live differently from how this world expects us to live. I still try to help my people see the complacency and danger, but I now consider that people aren't willing to act to change without being changed inside like what happened to me (when I believed, Jesus Christ started working on me and changing me over time to fit His words)
Kingdom of heaven is partly civnat, in that it's by choice to enter. And partly ethnat, in that it's those who are spiritually the seed of Abraham, those who make the same kind of choices that he did. Extremely high bar of entry because you have to invest your whole life to inherit the fullness of it. Genius setup, really.
