Let's Within
Dear brothers and sisters of all ages! You are most cordially welcome here !!
There are about 7 billion human beings living on the earth. And you are one of them and so I am, too. There
are as many types of human feelings and experiences as the number of heads alive.There are a number of values and belief systems.
There are a number of different worldviews and cultures according to which our all feelings, values and beliefs are established
and expressed outwardly. So, if I feel or experience or believe about something to be real, at the same time it is very possible
that another one may be thinking of it a void. That is why, I say, the opinion or opinions expressed
here under are my very personal opinions - whatever about my feelings or about my experiences or about my learned values or
about my personal beliefs.
Here is an opinion that is based on my personal choice of belief and this is all about the way, about the
truth and about the life, here and hereafter..
TOPIC NO. 1- ( John 14:6 )JESUS IS THE WAY TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER - GOD OF THE TRUTH
AND GOD OF THE LIFE, AND NOT TO THE OTHER gods AND goddesses or deities.
The holy bible is a book, where we read mainly about a supernatural and almighty God, to whom in the New
Testament Jesus Christ calls his heavenly father. But, some places in the bible, we can also read there about some of the
other gods and goddesses and about the souls or deities exist all around the heavenly environment with their own kinds and
natures of power, fated for different purposes having their own particular way of belief systems. So, when we choose to believe
in and follow after any one of such gods or goddesses or deities except Jesus Christ, we are bound to follow obsessively through
the way that has been designed, and attributed by that particular authority (god or goddess or deity).And, if we keep on following
that way which is chosen willingly and consciously by us, we reach there, where that particular authority (god or goddess
or deity) of our choice and belief prevails. Moreover, if any two different persons choose to believe in and follow after
such different authorities i.e. one chooses to follow Jesus Christ who came into the world to tell us about the way, the truth
and the life to his heavenly father and another one chooses so called god or goddess or deity that also exists around the
heavenly places, believing that both of them will ultimately be leading towards the same destination whatever ways of authority
both of them believe in. Then, both of them won't reach to the same destination, instead both of them will reach towards the
two absolutely different destinations of authorities following their choices and beliefs, which have been made differently
by both of them. And, this happens because of the different patterns of gods' and goddesses' and deities' pluralism and secularism
than that of the human beings' secularism and pluralism. Since, the heavenly bodies i.e. God the almighty, and even other
gods, goddesses and deities may firstly, think and work spiritually followed by a physical means if it is necessary. Whereas,
the earthly bodies i.e. human beings firstly, think and work with the physical means followed by spiritual one. So, if we
think that whatever ways of belief we keep holding and following, everybody will ultimately be there in the same place is
absolutely according to our human beings' physical and natural belief, and not in accordance with the spiritual belief of
the supernatural and almighty God (Heavenly father of Jesus Christ).Because, being a human we believe upon what we can see
physically by instinct, but the supernatural and almighty God (Heavenly father of Jesus Christ) is invisible, and can't be
seen with the help of our physical eyes, since God has a spiritual personality, and it is well known that the spirit can't
be seen but its influence can be felt and seen whenever He expresses himself through the physical or natural things. That
is why, most of the times what we can see explicitly and suppose it to be our true belief, proves absolutely distracted and
false belief than that of what we can't see but we do. Now, lets think a little more about the supernatural and almighty God
(Heavenly father of Jesus Christ) who is absolutely different than that of the gods and goddesses or deities. In the holy
bible, we also read about some of God's main characteristics as - Almighty God, Eternal God, Omnipotent God, God of creation
and life, God of death, God of resurrection, God of justification, God of whole the authorities, Alpha and Omega i.e. The
beginning and The end and also called the trinity i.e. the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Since, God is also a God
of creation, so he created Adam and Eve. God makes choices, so He lets us to make a choice as well. And, that is why, he chose
and called Abraham out of a number of different races who were living around the world worshiping and following the different
gods and goddesses, deities, devils and demons. He ordained Abraham as the father of all the believers. From Abraham, the
origin of God's chosen descendant came into existent of whom some of the notable personalities were - Isaac, the son of Abraham,
Jacob, the son of Isaac; Joseph, the son of Jacob; David, the king of Israelites; Solomon, the king of Israelites.....and
Joseph the guardian father and Mary the mother of Jesus Christ. We can see that, the descendant of Abraham who were later
called collectively as Israelites, were chosen and blessed subjects of heavenly God out of the many different races living
all around the world. And, among whom Jesus Christ who was conceived by the holy power of the Holy Spirit, and was born in
the tribe of Judas as the redeemer of his father's subjects i.e. Israelites. So, Israelites were chosen by God by himself
for his heavenly purpose. Moreover, the Israelites should also have to follow God and his commands, and not to the so called
gods' and goddesses' and deities' customs as their fellow countrymen were following. So, by now it is clear that among so
many gods and goddesses, souls and deities, there is also a God of gods to whom Israelites were commanded to obey. And, when
Jesus Christ was born among them physically he taught them about the heavenly God - his heavenly father, and also taught them
about God's will to follow, and one of them among a number of his precious teachings was about the way, truth and the life
which is found in the holy bible in the book of St. John Chapter 14 and verse 6. Here Jesus tells, "I'm the way It means he
is the way to his heavenly father to whom we call 'God', and he is not telling us that he is the way to the so called other
gods or goddesses or deities or souls prevailing around the sky or universe. Next, Jesus calls himself "the truth", and by
calling himself the truth he is not telling us to go this way or that way and seek the truth on the another places or where
the truth may be found but, he asks from us to follow whatever he taught to follow. Since, his whole teachings are about himself
who is the truth that leads us ultimately to the heavenly God. Moreover, he also tells us that he is "the life". And by saying
"I'm the life", he tells us that not only he himself is the origin of life, but he has also the authoritative power and command
over all kinds of life and death, in this world, and beyond the earthly life. Thus, if someone follows the another way about
which our lord Jesus did not talk about then, he/she reaches to a destination of his/her own earthly and spiritual choice,
and to his god or goddess or deities and not to the supernatural and almighty God who has chosen Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph,
David, Solomon, Peter, Paul and so many other believers of the lord Jesus. Although, we can find a lot of different types
of spiritual ways, and we are also free to walk through them all but all of them will lead us towards their particular directions,
and ultimately, to their particular destinations; and won't lead us to the almighty God (The father of Jesus Christ) and to
his heavenly abode. And, that is why; we say there is no other way to God except Jesus Christ. Because, he says so, that he
is not only the way to his heavenly father, but also he (the way) is the truth itself and that which keeps life in himself
too. God has given each of us the freedom and right to make a choice of our own with the help of our conscious that is breathed
into our body by Him; but it proves always the best choice when we make it in accordance with the will of God's plan that
has completely and clearly been planned for each of us. And, those great plans are well documented in the holy bible completely
at par the necessities for whole the human beings of all ages that passed, present or that is to come. So, lets try to walk
through the way that has been told by the lord Jesus Christ, living the earthly life towards the life everlasting. Thanks
be to God in the holy name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, Amen!
