God is freedom

It is very tragic to me when I see people leave their faith in order to be free. This tells me that there are serious flaws in their theology. Serious ones.

This is because God Himself IS freedom. Freedom is an expression of God! God Himself is free! Therefore freedom itself, even the very concept, only exists because He exists! And it is very proof of Him and His existence that the concept of freedom is so highly valued throughout creation and the world! Freedom points to Him because it comes from Him! There would be no freedom without God.

What's more, He is love, and one of the primary principles of love is that it always sets you free. If you love someone, truly, you will set them free. It's just part of love. Love always sets you free. Therefore, God HAS to set you free because He IS love!! He cannot do otherwise. It's what He Has done, is doing, and will continue to do throughout eternity, because it's who He is !!!!!!! Setting people free by loving them. This is who He is. Anything and anybody that ever, ever, EVER comes to God, will be loved by Him and therefore set free!!! It's impossible for it to be otherwise!! Because it's who He is!!!

So we can see that when someone chooses to walk away from Him in order to get their freedom, what a tragic mistake that is. Technically speaking, yes, you will be free from God, and religion, and rules, and the like. This is certainly true. But because freedom itself is a product of Him, of God, you will in reality experience less and less freedom the longer you stay away from Him. Because you have seperated yourself from the One who IS freedom, the One from whom all freedom flows. So in your "freedom", you will eventually, as time goes by, become less and less free.

Now, these truths realized, this tells me a tragic tale about what people are experiencing as christianity. To walk away from the very creator of the universe who embodies and emanates freedom tells me that someone must have some very serious misconceptions going on.
