Reply To: When Does Believing Become Knowing
In a reply to the posting of an article entitled When Does Believing Become Knowing I wrote:
I take exception to the statement in the article: "I know that I will never be able to prove there is a God, never be able to prove that God is, or is not, ‘the creator’. I believe that it is impossible to ‘know’ in the true sense of the word, anything about religion."
To which statement I wrote: It is the destiny of every person who has ever walked the face of the earth to Personally Know God. And while it is true that it is impossible to Know God for most people, the very purpose of this world is to evolve the mind to where you will Know God. And perhaps the best answer to the dilemma is in the Gospel account of the man who was born blind (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ). In the same way that jip-sheets are outlawed while you are taking an exam in school, each person born into this world is born blind to their own Higher Soul-Reality -- thereby forcing them to develop and look inwardly for the most important answers to the life they are living.
That some people can sense the presence of God -- while others can see the presence of God -- and still others are able to Know God -- is all dependent upon each of our Spiritual DNA that is the controlling factor when we entered into this life (see Spiritual DNA And The Allotment Of Talents To The Invited Guests http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SpiritualDNA ). That we generally don't remember our Soul's long past, is because our beliefs and lifestyle in most people derail our mental and spiritual development (see Spiritual Amnesia http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia ). And that in most instances we can't even understand the writings of the foregoing links, is because the vast majority of people are mentally functioning from a Linear mental perspective, and they therefore can't even begin to comprehend their own inner Soul and Spiritual Reality (see Linear Vs Intuitive Development Of Mind http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#LinearVsIntuitive ). Our culture and religions have made it as if we are only using a half a brain, half a heart, and half a mind -- that has been spiritually castrated and left us incapable of fulfilling the axiom to Know Thyself. And the true purpose of the scriptures when they are applied as the Key of Knowledge (see http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), is to develop the mind through the process of deepening and expansion that evolves us to Wholeness of Mind and Being (see Wholeness of Mind & Being http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#wholeness ) quoting
What is Wholeness? With respect to the concept of Wholeness, Jesus portrayed himself as a physician: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17). Before this verse can be understood we must first understand what it means to be Whole. Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved? Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him. And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician. And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician. Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him
