Our Calculus

What determines a man is true or righteous or valiant? How is each man or woman determined to be of Good Courage? How is success measured in this world of sex stars, Mansions and the pedestals upon which seemingly shallow humans are propped? How do you know that you are on the right path? Who holds the key to determining your qualifications and for what position are they considering you? Are criminals to assuage the worth of men who would stand in positions representing larger communities? What then is our modern criteria for accounting our moral dilemma or delight? Are ill patients the measure of health in America? Is it a simply percentage analysis and any measure eclipsing 50% immediately determines the whole? How many men and women have ever volunteered in one era to put on the Uniform of Military Service to Protect the People and their Constitution?

Do you get to tell me how well my kids are doing in their growth and education? Some would have us believe that is within their right as they are more thoroughly or functionally educated. What then of the common man who has paid cash for everything, having made sure all of his kids got a solid skill or education and possessed the mature financial/emotional acumen to make for themselves a good life? What does God think of Each of us? Does He have a separate evaluation for the rich, educated or corporate magnate then He uses for Farmer, Mom or thief? The World’s greatest dysfunction is subjectivity. Proof residing in any employee who will not open his or her mouth to tell the boss he is Moral bankrupt simply to collect another check.

And how many of us have sold our birthright for a bowl of soup, considering our reputation a trifle matter, ascribing our capitulation to when in Rome do as the Roman’s Do, do it til your satisfied or don’t make waves. Jesus Made waves not that He would be killed for it although that was the outcome. He spoke out against hypocrisy, Idolatry, misuse of Authority, skimming the faithful and designing spiritual rules incorporated for the purpose of self ingratiation. Our issue now that we are all self-absorbed is that our own graven image of gods and our own understanding have become the moral framework through which we judge actions of the World and Ourselves. It is no longer common to reflect upon God’s Law or Word to determine the righteous but to look upon a man as did Aristotle to determine today’s definition of what is right and true. If your god’s are fame, fortune and everything that goes with it then Professional athletes, Celebrities and Politicians using the world in unscrupulous fashion is condoned even held in high regard. If on the other hand you possess Biblical World View then these things are outside the aspirations God to which directs us.

The rub begins when statistics claim that 70% of US citizens call themselves Christian or Jew to which Worshiping ONE HOLY and Righteous God is requirement. In fact even those in Islam believe that on judgment day they must be found 50.1 percent good to receive the benefit of Paradise. So we have a quandary entirely based upon misunderstanding of those God believes faithful. The Jews must abide by the Law of Moses or the greater creation of laws written by the Synagogue leaders. Christian’s entry to heaven is solely determined by their believe upon Christ Jesus’ Work’s upon the Cross of Calvary, His Propitiation for all sin as the Perfect Son of God sacrificed for all men and the sealing of His Holy Spirit for eternity upon each proclaiming/receiving this truth. So if those who call themselves by God’s Name believe that it is their own goodness that will gain them access to heaven’s gate they are invariably and sadly mistaken or deceived. A doctrine of Works and the 50.1% is the subjective worldly “Democratic” judgment based upon Majority. To be caught using worldly measures in Spiritual pursuits is a fate worse then death for it comes with separation and agony forever.

So our plight is excruciating. We are using our own subjective analysis to determine our Objective preparation for Everlasting Life. We have been tamed, clamed and renamed by those who practice expert deception into believing a lie we told ourselves. That is why it is imperative for the Son’s of God to arise in power and proclaim the only Name by Which man is saved so that those believing themselves righteous in falsity may awaken and accept the Gift of Grace from God. I do not aspire to riches and wealth, fame or sexual conquest for these are the subjective prizes of worldly wealth. They are temporary, momentary and must be sustained or maintained in order to experience continued, “Happiness”. Pursuits of Happiness are worldly and are far eclipsed by JOY which is Objectively sustained by God’s Holy Spirit.

We must determine our perspective, either Subjective and worldly or Objective and Heavenly. Those are the bars of our current prison from which God has already set US free. If you are captured then perhaps it is time to adjust your Spiritual Perspective to reflect God’s Objective, inerrant, eternal Word that you may live outside the false expectations and understanding of those who believe themselves headed to eternity in God’s Presence but have actually chosen to reside in the Lake of Fire designed for satan and his angels, Forever.
