The Reality Of Predestination   

 

Contrary to the dogma of the vast majority of the Christian World, Calvinism is not wrong -- and there is Predestination all over the scriptures that is for the most part ignored by the vast majority of Christians.  In fact, the scriptures promote the doctrine that God has predestined the life of every person -- good, bad or indifferent.  Calvinism is rejected because (quoting) the claim is "...that it makes God a "moral monster" by predetermining some for eternal damnation". 

While the scriptures does confirm Predestination, the problem is that when the post-Nicene Church removed the teachings on Reincarnation and the pre-existent Soul that evolves to perfection over the course of many lives (see The Pre-Nicene Position Of The Church On Reincarnation https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pre-nicene-position-of-church-on.html  ) the Bible reader could no longer understand what is portrayed as Karma (see Soul Evolution And The Law Of Return/Karma http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#LawOfReturn  ). 

Quoting Matthew 7:12: “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets".  It is the Law that as you do unto others, the same will be returned back to you IN A FUTURE LIFE.  Quoting Luke 6:31: "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them"
 
When Jesus taught the Law to his original Essene/Ebionite/Nazirene followers and disciples, he opened their minds to the inner spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- i.e., "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:45). But this opening of the mind can only be accomplished within the consciousness of those who strive to become what is personified as the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower And The Seed (see http://SowerAndTheSeed.Ebionite.com ). And thus, when Jesus was asked why only the few could understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- i.e., “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand” (Mark 4:11-12). Further explaining: “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding” (Mark 4:11-12). Jesus taught a holistic spiritual lifestyle that is necessary to begin to understand and receive the Divine Manna or Spiritual Knowledge of the Kingdom. And with respect to the transformational lifestyle of becoming the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, Jesus warned: “And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” (Mark 4:13). Which means that unless you live the necessary transformative mindset and lifestyle in accord with the Law of God, it will remain impossible to understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures. And thus, these words which are representative of the New Covenant and the core Gospel teachings, are inconceivable to the modern faith-based believers who have adopted the Mithraic doctrine of Original Sin which causes them to remain divided and disenfranchised from the very essence and objectives of the Gospel teachings -- overwhelmed and anchored to a carnal mindset that is of the "outer darkness" -- spiritually disenfranchised by innumerable manmade opinions, factions and sects which totally alienate the believer from the Truth and the Kingdom.

A very large part of the Gospel teachings in what is known as the Sermon on the Mount, portrays our interactions with other people -- as demonstrated in the words: "As you do unto others, the same will be returned back to you" (Luke 6:31) -- "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Gal 6:7) -- which the pre-Nicene Church Father Origen portrayed in the words: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis). Who was Origen? Origen is called “…the most prominent of all the church fathers” (Encyclopedia. Britannica), and was considered by St. Jerome to be “the greatest teacher of the Church after the Apostles.” St. Gregory of Nyssa called him “the prince of Christian learning in the Third Century.” Which provokes the question as to why the modern Christian does not understand this reality which the Enlightened Deists portrayed as the Laws of Nature and Nature's God that evolves each Soul to Wholeness and Perfection? Is reincarnation a Gospel foundational reality? In accord with both the finding of modern science and the pre-Nicene Gospel teachings (see Christian Reincarnation at http://reincarnation.nazirene.org/ ), our own actions comes back to us in our future lives.
 

Jesus taught his followers the Natural Law of Return that is not at all understood today when he explained to the people: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Matt 7:1-2). While discernment is ultra-important, judgment will always come back upon each individual. What this means is that the life you will live in the future will be in accord with your actions in the present -- and this is the Law of Return or what is popularly known as the Law of Karma (see http://lawofoctaves.nazirene.org/#Karma ). And this Law of Return where each person's thoughts and actions are returned back to them in the future, is how each person inherits the fruit of their own actions towards others -- and how "...whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" Therefore, discernment is to understand the Laws and the conditions of a person's life that has immersed them in their present experiences -- whereas, judgment is to find fault with the learning experience of our brothers and sisters as portrayed in the words of Jesus when he warned: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Matt 7:1-2).
