Critical thinking of Jesus
Jesus was preaching the kingdom of God which was another way of governing your self through Charity rather than force, faith rather than allegiance, and love rather than fear. Critical thinking does not only require a clear mind but a pure heart. Contempt, anger, and hate come with the covetous practices of society which will require self justification through the pride of self righteousness which brings about the blindness of cognitive dissonance.
Learning to live by love in the practice of pure religion through a daily ministration of faith, hope, and charity, instead of fealty, force, and fear of the world has been the message of salvation by God from the beginning. It is what repentance and seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness is all about. The Way of Christ is often in conflict with the ways of the world as the Christian conflict was counter to the ways of Rome and the Imperial Cult of Rome that allowed the people to be Biting one another like the Modern Church. Each of us needs to have the humility to see the strong delusion society that has entangled the people in the elements of the world through the deeds of the Nicolaitan which God hates.
If we are to become critical thinkers we will have to think differently which was called repentance. Only love for your fellow man through the willingness to forgive, seek the righteousness of God and the daily ministration by the practice of "Pure Religion".
