MY NEW MAN BIBLE THEOLOGY-!
This mind blowing book -- "New Man Bible Theology" (NMBT), Biblically documents what psychologists call the "Batman Effect," but for Born-Again Christians. It reveals the Biblical concept where adopting an alter ego, like imagining oneself as a competent and confident "Hero" character, can reduce anxiety and enhance performance. The major difference is choosing JESUS as your 'Higher-Christ-Self' hero --not 'Batman' "But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires" (Rom. 13:14).
NMBT reveals the 'New Wine' that Jesus talked about when he said, "No one puts 'New Wine' into Old Wineskins" (Matt. 9:17). Jesus was telling them that the Mystery of GOD is not compatible with religious (church) building rituals. Jesus said His BODY will become the New Temple (church building) for GOD's throne. Jesus spoke of a 'Cosmic Paradigm Shift' when he said, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (Jn. 2:19) -"But when Jesus said 'this temple, ' he meant his own body" (Jn. 2:21). JESUS was announcing that GOD -will be present "in Spirit" in every human body that accepts His Son. This was the end of trying to use religion to be ONE with GOD. Jesus said, "But I say unto you, that One Greater than the temple is here" (Matt. 6:12). The Cosmic Christ now lives in those who believe in Him.
NMBT brings back to our awareness the ancient theological reality of -'Christ living within us, the Hope of Glory.' GOD created you to be His companion to walk with 'His HOLY Spirit' in the ordinary events of the day. GOD did not create you to become GOD (as taught by some in the New Age movement). He created us to be his children. NMBT does not claim to be a NEW Supreme Religion, but it does recognize the Golden Rule taught in all the major religions including -Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. It encourages us to explore the boundaries of our Biblical beliefs to love others as Christ loves us. It provides support for holding on to the fundamental Truth of 'THE WAY.' This is Salvation -by grace through faith in the blood of Christ on the Cross. THE 'Cosmic Christ' WAY -transcends all religions. Paul followed -'The Way' (Acts 24:14).
NMBT is a wake-up Call for every human who Calls upon the name of the Lord JESUS to be set free from the world's duality and division that keeps us trapped. It is a guide to help those who are 'done with religion' to deconstruct and reconstruct their faith based on the "Living Word of GOD." It is the Biblical Truth of "Christ in YOU the Hope of Glory" (Not Christ outside of you: Religion). This New Man's divine manifesto contains the seeds for the final Cosmic Christ Revival, inspiring hope and transformation for the New Heaven and Earth. The Mystery of GOD has always been to unite the family of ALL believers (Gal. 3:28) -Jews and Gentiles, slave and free, male and female into ONE New Man: "His purpose was to create in himself One NEW MAN out of the two, thus making Peace, and in One BODY to reconcile both of them to GOD through the Cross, by which he put to death their hostility" (Eph. 2:15-16).

More importantly, after being raised as a Catholic, and while serving in the military, Jim had a Christian conversion experience in 1977, and he was led to a family-home church model of Christianity where he was taught "The Way" to follow Jesus as a life-style apart from any organized religions of Christianity. This unique training and experience of spending time with Jesus in the Family-home Church has guided his study of the Bible for the last 35 years. He has also suffered the abuse of pastoral power in the "Chuck Smith" Calvary Chapel franchise that teaches the cult-like Moses' Church government model. This has given Jim compassion for the unchurched, those caught up in the web of religious addiction, and the victims of spiritual abuse and religious extortion of our present day Organized Religion of Christianity. After all, the Bible tells us that Jesus hated the teachings of the Nicholaitans (organized religion), and that the Early Church in an effort to avoid the former pagan practices of building religious temples and financially suppo...
