If we are intended to use our whole selves to heal, how important is it to have a true understanding of who we are, what our relationship to our divine creator is, and what lies ahead? The four basic questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where do I go after I leave this life?
This basic understanding is like the rigid arch support. It may be difficult to walk in at first, but with patience and effort alignment will happen, and a lot of other healing things will fall into place.
There are many differing beliefs about the nature of God and mission of Jesus Christ. I believe differently than you, and you believe differently than me. But no matter what we believe, our belief cannot alter truth.
I do not believe that simply saying "I Believe" and going through the moment of accepting Jesus Christ will release us from sin and save us. I believe repentance takes effort, and that the initial moment of acceptance is just the beginning.
Understanding our nature because of our relationship to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ gives us license to call upon him (them)for whatever we need. We pray to God the Father through our mediator, Jesus Christ. "Heavenly Father.............In the Name of Jesus Christ, AMEN.) If Christ is God's son, and we are God's spiritual sons and daughters, that makes us all brothers and sisters to eachother and to Christ, even though he remains our Eldest Brother and is now a resurrected God. He helped create the earth and everything herein. God, his father, to whom he prayed often is also God. So, where does this "One" God theory come in? And where was our spirit beginning if not in heaven?
I'm throwing out a lot of questions here, so forgive me if any of these offend your belief. It's just that I receive so much strength and direction and healing from truth. THere has to be a standard bearer somewhere on earth.
God help the 10 Commandments and the US Constitution, upon which this great nation was built, and for which it was preserved. God help the family, even though Satan and all his forces are trying to destroy it from every end before the end destroys them. And God help each one of us. AMEN.
