Mirror, mirror, on the wall, “Who in history is the wisest of them all?”

Christians would most likely answer Jesus Christ.  

Why then do some Christians disregard Christ's teachings whenever inconvenient or disagreeable to their selfish desires?

Why believe that whatever grand schemes that go against the teachings of Christ will have a good end, especially if sinful, destructive, and cause harm?

What good is conquest if it means losing your soul and costing innocent lives in crimes against humanity?

Why assume that by destroying, subtracting assets from the world means conquering, especially when there will come a tipping point where nothing is left and economies become unsustainable where no one wants anything to do with them, thus no buyers or supporters?

Why would Jesus Christ state that “the meek shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5), why not conquerors, aggressors, shepherds, or kings? 

In as short or long as it takes, define what it means to be meek?  

How could meekness ever help to inherit the earth?

⚠️

When it directly involves an individual's life, you need that person's consent; otherwise, it's harassment, a violation of that person's privacy, and the individual's right to self-determination.

And if that individual does not like selfish, me-me-me types, then remove them. 

Otherwise, you will also be guilty of harassment and other violations, including crimes against humanity, and will also face damnation.

So says the Lord, 

So be it.

🤔

If you have a choice, would you choose salvation or damnation?

The good news is that you have a choice every second of every day to choose salvation and walk in all the ways of the Lord.

Each day is an opportunity to cultivate the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

On the other hand, when you choose to forsake love and peace, along with the fruits of the Spirit, and to cause harm through sins of hate, fear, and aggression, it becomes a choice of damnation and delighting in wrongdoing (1 Corinthians 13:6, Isaiah 5:20) against humanity and the Lord.

The excuses are numerous in covering up sins.

Those who believe selectively cling to false notions that sins can be forgiven without first confessing and repenting of them, that all sins, including blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, would be forgiven; and that forgiveness by victims or the Lord equates to or affects the character of the guilty sinner, which it does not. 

Only through the process of redemption can the guilty sinner clean themselves up and receive salvation.

Those who do not believe think that spiritual laws would not apply to them, even when committing a crime against humanity, which it does, because when unholy, their souls would be completely incompatible with heaven.

You can choose to destroy the lights of healing, innovation, prosperity, and love in peace, to live in the lies of grandiose delusions and power trips.

That is your choice.

However, know that in the end, whether you receive salvation or damnation is the Lord's choice and decision.  

Note:

What are the requirements for entry into heaven?

"Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”   

-Matthew 18:3-4, Mark 10:15, and Luke 18:17

For "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." -Matthew 5:8

🤔

What is your purpose in life, as assigned originally the Lord?

What is your mission?

We are all called to be stewards of the earth, which includes caring for each person in humanity.

So what is your specific purpose in the tapestry of life?

Your purpose must match the talent the Lord gave you at creation.

What gives your life meaning?

What must you uphold and defend to keep your covenant with the Lord?

If you stray from your purpose or fail in your mission, what kind of meaning would your life serve?

If you do not know your purpose, mission, or what gives your life meaning, "Ask (with a sincere and pure heart) and it will be given to you; seek (with a clear conscience, unbiased and open mind) and you will find; knock (respectfully with integrity and honor) and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8).

Take the time to reaffirm your purpose. Remember that life is a spiritual journey, and the way home is your connection to the Holy Spirit, serving humanity and the Lord.

Before we continue the conversation about the Christian code of conduct, let's discuss the difference between moral authority and holy authority.

What is moral authority?

Moral authority is the power to lead based on high ethical standards, such as respect, honesty, integrity, and humility, earned through trust and a strong reputation.

Without moral authority, there is no legitimacy, as a lack of ethical standards often leads to a bad reputation, illicit activities, and crimes against humanity; thus, there is no standing, no prestige, and no legitimacy.

When we talk about a Christian code of conduct, we are also talking about holy authority, the highest level of ethical standards that make up moral authority, the ability to commune with the Holy Spirit, to live a spiritual life, and to receive salvation.  

Without holy authority, there is no communion with the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit and no church (Matthew 18:20), especially when those gathered are unable to truly receive communion due to unrepentant sins.

It is important to note that holy authority requires higher standards than moral authority because it's rooted in the deepest principles of love and peace, and sacred trust.  

🤔 Answer the following questions: 

Why is moral authority so important for legitimacy and standing in humanity?  

And why is holy authority so vital to salvation and spiritual enlightenment?
