Synopsis

Portal (a book of writings) summarized

ā€¦we are flawed. Thatā€™s why God made Jesus for us as an example to follow. We are born spiritually perfect but develop into ā€˜works in progressā€™. We eventually discover God (Jesus Christ) emotionally (spiritually) in our own heart. 

Some feel Scripture is bogus. We can ā€œthankā€ Satan and human narcissistic tendencies for that. The Bibleā€™s examples of mankindā€™s practice of applying ā€œGlory to Menā€, illustrates the root cause of division among us. The Bibleā€™s recorded Holy messages from God, illustrate the root potential of uniting us.

ALL of us have capacity to unconditionally love. But we also have capacity to hate. Christā€™s most important and misunderstood lesson in his teaching is between the ā€œlinesā€ā€¦ ā€˜We donā€™t need to know Jesus,ā€™ but we must love Creation and our Creator. Many do that by their own choosing outside the Christian Bible. We may mistakenly identify Christ as someone or something else because not all of us are introduced to, or believe in, Jesus.

We can connect with God inside our heart. Godā€™s Holy messaging in the Bible explains how. The Bible is also a reference containing stories and testimony from humans who are not Holy. Godā€™s recorded messaging alone is Holy. God alone is Holy. Weā€™re not. 

We can feel God and ā€˜hearā€™ Truth both inside and outside the Bible. But the devil whispers pride in our ā€œearā€ and we elevate ourselves and other humans to lofty positioning because we narcissistically want glory for ourselves and/or other humans.

ALL humans are equal in Godā€™s image. Weā€™re His toddler childrenā€¦ no matter how lost or old we get. ā˜ŗļø

In summary of the summaryā€¦

No one else but God knows all that goes on in our head. God has infinite capacity and has been measuring and messaging us for a long time, but Truth is not always easy to hear. We do well to listen with our ā€˜heartā€™, where Godā€™s image lives and ā€˜breathesā€™ with us.

God communicates with us using all of creation. God ā€˜speaksā€™ to us AND gave Satan a ā€˜voiceā€™ in the mix. We ā€œhearā€ with our thoughts and emotions. Christ taught us that we donā€™t have to know Jesus, only dismiss the evil one by loving God and Creation with all we have to muster.

Christianity isnā€™t the only means of loving God and Creation. Our spiritual compass is in our ā€˜heartā€™. Our moral successes and failures show up in our daily actions and emotional relationship with creation and the Creatorā€¦ Most apparently with family, spouse, children, pets, friends, neighbors, and ā€˜enemiesā€™. God knows how we love creation by our thoughts and actions.

Satan was created to challenge us. Jesus was born to help us. God awaits us within our ā€œheartā€ where our free-willed soul lives or dies. Godā€™s perfection alludes us but compassion is always within reach.

Iā€™m retired. Except for some unavoidable honey-dos, I pretty much goof off for a living now. My website is spirit rewarding fun for me and I hope, uplifting and enlightening fun for you.
