then what's the point in subjective belief?>>>waitasec
That's the beauty of the of subjective belief!
You see, because of our being created in the flesh we are limited to our own thoughts and wishes.
Its is our free will that we needed saving from.
Everybody is free to believe what they want.
That places us all in situation where we, of ourselves, can do nothing about effecting a change in our fallen state, or as I understand it spiritual death.
Only God Himself as creator can save us, that simple.
And that He did, is doing and will continue to do as each new generation is born.
Of all our abilities, faith in God is the only vehicle by which we can reach God's saving grace.
For some of us, we have reached that point in the now by a rebirth of our dead spiritual condition which doomed us from the beginning.
If, many don't come to that point because of the differences in beliefs, they will come to it when at their departure from this world they will meet, face to face, the God who has saved them.
Meantime, this world is not geared for heavenly occupation, but for fleshly occupation. Yet, we can access heavenly benefits while we still live in the flesh.
Why is it the present condition affecting all of mankind?
Because Jesus at the cross was forsaken, just as the the people of Israel where forsaken in favor of including the whole of humanity, Jesus paid the ultimate price as if it were our own.
There are many verses eluding to that here's one: Mic 4:1 But (1)
in the last days(2)
it shall come to pass, that (3)
the mountain of the house of the LORD (4)
shall be established (5)
in the top of the mountains, and it (6)
shall be exalted above the hills; and (7)
people shall flow unto it.
1.
in the last days= The beginning really, for it is the end at the cross and the beginning at Jesus' resurrection.
2.
it shall come to pass,= Jesus must be forsaken, meaning it must be done.
3.
the mountain of the house of the LORD =Jesus came to build the Father's mountain,(authority) as the house of the Lord. (A new Jerusalem = spiritual one)
4.
it shall be established = at the cost of being forsaken, at the cost of making the nation Israel the second.
5. in the top of the mountains,= see, the Fathers mountains were already established through Israel and the Commandments. But atop of those mountains, the fathers mountains, the power of authority of Israel, Jesus reestablishes a new mountain, a new house of which there shall be no end.
6.
shall be exalted above the hills = like as in the mountains in number 5 above, the hills also have the same meanings, except it seems that there are more hills than mountains as powers of authority, of which a mountain being above the hills in height and stature, shall be exulted above them all.
The words "King of the Jews" on the crosses plague officially, signifies that point.
Jesus was a prince and at His coronation, the crown of thorns, the nails through His hands, ends the first and ushers in as King of the second.
7. people shall flow unto it. = how conveniently it being the number 7 of the series.
When it says people "shall" flow unto it, means that the work of God in saving humanity has been accomplished, thus He rests from all His works.
People shall flow to it means that God will draw all man unto Himself.
There, just in one verse I explained the whole works of God, as given in the whole of the scriptures in the bible.
Unfortunately, it can not be made easy to see, otherwise, mankind would stop seeking and stop generating good in a world of vanity.
