Is What You’re Doing Dangerous …even Deadly?
Dangerous …even Deadly?
(A Perspective … Just One Perspective)
That I think differently than some is hardly news. To make a point of it could be arrogance or stupidity or both – that’s from another perspective …after all, the same really can be said about everyone, can it not? We all think differently than some others; that’s hardly earth shaking news either.
I will say that I’ve been in touch enough times with the SOURCE to have experienced ultimate wisdom to have been the vessel of our SPIRIT-PARENT’s spiritual healing and/or a vessel to bring a vital truth for somebody, who needed it at the time, so listen up to this one:
What is dangerous and even deadly is to think that we know exactly how to respond to a given situation, just because that response
garnered favorable results in the past.
Here is a truth for this moment: “Spiritual” means, ALWAYS, in the now, this moment. Let’s rub it in because “I,” of all people, need to hear it (perhaps you don’t) …habit, presumably “good” or presumably “bad” had its genesis in the spiritual realm.
Please note that I have used a capital “S” for the former; and a lower case “s,” for the latter, deliberately to denote the fact they are both spiritual. There’s a riddle in there.
There are two partial truths contained in the foregoing paragraph (before the brief note) – either can be dangerous or deadly, if taken in isolation. I feel the need to underscore what I mean.
Habit can hardly be deemed “Spiritual” if one does not agree with the definition that “Spiritual” ALWAYS means in the now, this moment. What about the other kind of “spiritual” – if the habit is bondage to one narrow view as truth, then it certainly could (from one perspective) be deemed as “spiritual.”
To take a favorite argument of mine, the Bible, unless it leads you to the SOURCE of everything, is worse than nothing! In fact it leads to death and therefore is “deadly.”
My thesis, here, comes from SPIRIT’s words spoken through the mouth of Jesus: “You search the scriptures, for in them you think you find eternal life” (my editorial here: meaning that parallel existence that is ongoing NOW), “when all the while they give their testimony about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me so that you can receive that LIFE.”
Here’s a backup that surely we all remember: “The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.”
Let’s say it again, together now, in today’s plain English: The Bible is deadly if it does not produce life.
Therefore, it could be said that Bible study, something that is practiced by much of Christianity of both the organized and disorganized variety is often the source of lively argument so therefore, one perhaps could express some confidence that it is alive.
That the Bible can be life-producing there is no argument from here. That a church which carries the preface “Bible” or “Bible-believing” to the rest of its name on its sign in front is usually spiritually “dead” …is that a judgment? Or are you judging my experience?
Since this is my experience, it may be fair to say it may only be an indictment of me, personally, rather than the church.
