Is There Only
'One' Way?
Jesus said; "I am the
way"
Could
It Be True That When You Truly
Receive Jesus a Change
occurs within Your Spirit and "Being?"
A Change That Explains The Scripture
That Declares You a NEW CREATURE?
A
"new creature," with the ability to
make the transition into a "born again"
"new creature" which is able to enter
the Kingdom?
Can
this be? Yes! It is completely understandable...
If you overcome the effects of doctrine that has
been taught the followers of organized religion
or man-made doctrine. The teaching of spiritual
scripture has been twisted by materialistic
man, thus, reducing the
almighty spiritual power
of God's word to be no more powerful than the
limitations of the materialistic teachers and
preachers of materialism who have misled the
church for (near) 1700 years,. I don't expect
most people to completely understand what they
just read. It has taken generations of
watered-down doctrine, which has numbed
the people to truth
so don't expect to be restored in a matter of
minutes.
Step-by-step...
first baby steps of understanding... then longer
steps... soon with the help of The Holy Spirit
many will break through! Many will be able to see
the power in the word and through divine
discernment be able to rise above the
materialistic brainwashing to which the Christian
community has been subjected. I think Jesus said
it best; "The Truth Will Set You
Free."
The
first step towards removing the residue of the
brainwashing is to quit thinking of the word of
God (the bible) as unquestionable,
holier-than-thou, superstitious, white magic!
Think of it as a book of science, a book of
wisdom and applied physics which was left to you
by God's many prophets and The Son Of God
Himself.
Stop
being afraid of reading the book! Leave the guilt
behind! Ask yourself why you feel guilty and not
worthy enough to read the book and learn what the
Creator of the universe wants you to know? Is
this what "the church," your parents or
society unknowingly planted in your mind,
probably from childhood?
The
Bible: Tear into that masterpiece! I mean OPEN
IT! Pick a good starting place like one of the
four gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. I used
Matthew to find salvation... that's all!
View
it as valuable information that you want and you
want now.
Because it is HIS book, pray to HIM, in the name
of HIS SON JESUS and ask Jesus to send HIS spirit
to teach and direct you. If you don't do this it
may be meaningless? Nobody is looking! I just
gave the formula for eternity! Use it!
Here
it is in simple steps; Open one of the four
gospels... Read a verse or two... pray, in
earnest... read the same verse again... be sure
you understand and "feel" the
message... read the next verse, pray, continue in
this fashion til you finish the short little
book. It only took the book of Matthew for me.
After studying Matthew, I came to know Jesus as a
friend... then I began to study the entire bible.
Eternity is waiting! You want to come to know
Jesus... any of the four gospels will do it.
Matthew, Mark, Luke or John all contain the life
of Jesus and His message. Each book is from
another view point and each book has another
little treasure for you. You will come to know
Jesus and more importantly, you will come to LOVE
HIM. THEN HE WILL ENTER YOUR HEART! When He comes
in, accept Him and keep Him! His Spirit will live
in you and you will grow.
Back
to business...
It has been my observation that many people have
been taught that it was too holy for a worthless,
unknowing person to read and question the
meaning. Perhaps you have been afraid to read the
book and ask questions? Perhaps you have been
convinced that you are not worthy to know the
secrets of the Kingdom? Time to find out!
In
the first place, many people had no one who could
truthfully answer the questions. The person
"they" asked just resorted to throwing
out a verse or two because they couldn't answer
the question and they were ashamed to admit it!
Did you hear answers like; "That's just the
way it is"... "Do not question the
bible" and on and on and on... did you get
"answers" that did not provide the true
answer to your question?
Hold
that thought...
You
must understand that we live in a universe made
up and ruled by physics! For many centuries we
have worked within the laws of
"regular" physics... the way that matter
interacts with other matter. We have invented
concepts and machines with "regular"
physics as our guide and benchmark for success.
Now comes "Quantum Physics." We are
beginning to work within the parameters of
"quantum physics."
In
recent years, "quantum physics,"
which is research
with subatomic particles has become
exciting and rewarding for the scientific
community. Quantum physics involves the creation
and experimentation of the submicroscopic world!
By learning how these tiny particles act,
scientists can better understand the matter which
makes up the universe and the way it behaves.
Quantum physics even plays a part in blackholes,
where regular physics is thrown out because it
just doesn't allow for growth, understanding and
above all EXPLANATION!
I
view "quantum physics" as the stepping
stone to understanding the next level and that is
"spiritual physics." Fifty years ago
the study of quantum physics would have been
laughable! Now the theories are being harnessed
and becoming the basis for understanding and an
entire new field of science.
I
believe and have believed for years that the next
step of scientific research and understanding is
"SPIRITUAL PHYSICS!"
The
question...
How is it possible that Jesus is the way to the
eternal, spiritual world? The answer is simple...
SPIRITUAL PHYSICS! Our Creator established the
entire universe based on HIS all-encompassing
laws of physics. After all, we live in a material
universe but the unseen laws of physics are ever
present! Our scientists are learning and
discovering new worlds and laws of the universe
every day! I wonder why so many people do not
believe that our Creator, who is spiritual,
cannot base HIS Spiritual Kingdom on SPIRITUAL
PHYSICS? The laws of physics that your Heavenly
Father and Jesus revealed to you through the
scriptures... But... then the "keepers of
the books" decided what you should know and
how to create their man made doctrines with which
to teach you. That is called ORGANIZED RELIGION.
They
made it a point to give you thousands of
different denominations to tie up your mind with
confusion so you would finally just quit looking.
The
"WORD" was sent to this earth as a man
to establish HIS Heavenly Father's laws and
methods for HIS kids of planet earth to enter HIS
Kingdom. This happened about 600 years before
there was an Islamic belief... which was
established by Muhammad, the founder of
Islam. Muhammad is regarded by Muslims as the
last messenger and prophet of God... Six Hundred
years after Jesus walked the planet... More
recently around 1829 Joseph Smith had a dream and
allegedly went out into the garden and was shown
golden tablets which is the basis of the Mormon
faith. The golden tablets were never found but
the people of the Mormon faith are not doubtful.
These are just a few of the religions that have
been established after The "WORD" came
to earth. We came to know HIM (THE WORD) as JESUS
or more correctly, YESHUA.
I
think I'll just trust Jesus and HIS instructions
for finding the way.
I
personally cannot criticize another faith! There
are those who are critical of my faith in GOD and
HIS SON JESUS but that's OKAY with me... I know
Jesus because I have experienced the Christian
experience of being saved, born-again or
begotten. Fact is; I know Jesus personally! He's
my friend! I have a personal relationship with
HIM! Doubters will declare me "nuts"
but that is their problem, I will not make it my
problem.
The
term "Born Again" just became popular
and widely used in the 1960's. Please be assured
that I have no problem with that term being used
to describe the experience or status of an
individual in the church of Jesus... (not
intended to endorse any particular
"brand" of Christianity) "The
Church Of Jesus" is my
way of including any
church that recognizes Jesus Christ as our
savior. (I may not agree with their man-made
doctrine which adds to or takes away from Jesus'
teachings)
Religions
or denominations are (mostly) all based in
"goodness," "kindness" and a
"do unto others" type of foundational
and fundamental faith. (generally speaking)
Ask
yourself...
If it only required goodness, kindness and
"Do unto others" most all of the
religions would meet the requirements! In other
words; it really doesn't matter what you believe
or teach, you are all correct! If you believe
that you are too liberal for the Kingdom of
Heaven.
In
my opinion it requires the instructions left to
us by Jesus, which I think of as SPIRITUAL
PHYSICS! Results that can only come from a
perfect doctrine instilled in a human and that perfect
doctrine is called THE
SPIRIT OF GOD... THE PERSONA AND CHARACTER OF THE
CREATOR!
Knowledge
and understanding that cannot be understood and
taught by "man." This requires direct
instruction from God. Instructions that must be
"downloaded" into the receptive person
who has been "conditioned" to receive
the understanding. A "condition" we
refer to as "saved" or
"born-again." A method of direct
communication, to the individual, from the Holy
Spirit of God.
Jesus
made a special effort to tell HIS followers to
patiently wait for the Holy Spirit. Finally,
fifty days after Jesus ascended to HIS Father in
heaven, the HOLY SPIRIT showed up... The
disciples were anointed in the Holy Spirit and
preached in languages they did not know... or the
people heard them in their own language! That is
truly to which the term "TONGUES"
refers. Now you know the truth about
"tongues!" The original
"tongues" was a miracle! The preacher
or spreader of the gospel would preach and those
from different countries and different languages
could understand them in their own tongue
(language).
Please
allow me to recap...
The Holy Spirit was sent to us by Jesus. HE told
HIS disciples as he left in HIS new spiritual
body that HE would send "The
Comforter," which is The Holy Spirit. HE
further instructed HIS disciples to wait for it!
They waited 50 days then THE DAY OF PENTECOST
fell upon them! They were filled with the power
of The Holy Spirit and preached in unknown
languages which was quite a witness to the crowds
and nations! Wonder why they were required to
wait 50 days? Unsolved mystery?
No
other doctrine that has had that happen. That is;
A religion or faith that the leaders (disciples)
spoke in languages they did not know and the
listeners understood them perfectly. This is
proof enough for me that HIS Kingdom is for
ALL nationalities and ALL people
who will receive HIM and live by HIS doctrine
established and paid for by HIS SON, JESUS. I
believe there will be people who will come to
know Jesus from most all faiths. Accepting Jesus
and trusting HIM is the critical factor. However,
Jesus said the road is narrow and few will ever
find it. That means that only
a few of the professed
Christians will find the road too!
Jesus
introduced His followers to the ONE ALTERATION TO
MAN required to change us into a
"being" that is worthy of being
entrusted with the powers of the KINGDOM OF GOD.
The scriptures tell us we are a NEW CREATURE or a
NEW CREATION! When it happens you will know it!
I'll
never forget the moment it happened! As I get
older I have less of the same sensation that I
experienced when I was younger but as we get
older it is harder to achieve (for some of us)...
Perhaps not for all people but it seems to go
along with scripture... Even King Solomon
preached that we should strive to achieve this
status when we are young! That's not to say it
can't happen in later years...
Now
don't misunderstand! I am not
saying that I get "SAVED" over and
over... I am saying that "getting into the
spirit" is a sensation and experience that
repeats itself! Many religious folks argue
against that point because they have never been
"in the spirit" in the first place...
therefore they don't really know about that to
which I refer.
Summation...
HE is the truth and the only way to the Kingdom.
HIS Holy Spirit enters us and changes us into a
"NEW CREATURE" This is the needed
transformation that enables us to enter THE
KINGDOM. All of this because we accept Jesus,
"the way."
Don't
argue with the messenger - argue with GOD'S LAWS
OF PHYSICS! If you have not experienced the
transformation... PRAY FOR IT! Don't shrug it
off.
