My Journey to Love & God - Part 1
/Hello Beloved! I hope you feel loved regardless of your current circumstances.
I've been on an incredible journey with God since I've last written you. This is a quick update on my Journey to the Truth, from the
Knowledge of Christ to the Knowledge of All of God.
I thought it was important to share so that you could make a conscious decision about whether or not you'd like to keep reading/following
(Facebook).
Yours in Love.
In Love with Christ
Fear versus Love.
In my last post on
the Trees in the garden of Eden
, you'd have started to see a shift in my belief. I believe Jesus Christ is truly my reason for being so aware, so awake, and aware of how loved I am by God, who created us all.
A New View of Jesus
The shift you'd have started to see is that I currently believe Jesus Christ came to let us know that we are
already
Sons and Daughters of God with the same gifts and abilities he had; that we never lost dominion over the earth. He came to let us know that we don't have to
"wait for Him to return"
to walk in that power, but that we
"will do greater things than these"
right now. Sadly, we've run amok
devaluing emotions, intellect and the physical
, so we're not
"free"
in religion to explore the beauty of how these all fit into our spirituality and our relationship with God.
Further, I no longer believe the Bible to be infallible. I do believe that it was God-inspired in many ways, but not that it is flawless. I now believe that authors of the Bible were much like us. Just as we have inspired God-breathed moments, at no time are we completely perfect and representative of the entire body, spirit or soul of God.
Daughter of God Revisited
Feminine energy and the
"male and female"
that God created - and deeply Loves. We often allude, in Church, to the fact that Jesus never shunned women like others did. In fact, that He spent a lot of time with them. Where God is taking me now is opening up a whole new realm of knowledge around the very different, yet equal, importance of the voice of both men and women in getting to know God fully. There's far too much to even begin to scratch the service here. Just a sniff - we have
totally
misunderstood the
"mystery"
of women and have completely reversed (and damaged) our women by enforcing the stereotype that they are
"givers"
instead of
"receivers"
. That this is how we actually walk as
(paragraph 6: Genesis 2:18 be translated as
"I will make a power [or strength] corresponding to man."
& paragraph 7: 1 Corinthians 11:10,
"For this reason, a woman must have power [or authority] on her head [that is to say, invested in her]."
) to our male companions.
More to Learn
I do not profess to have the full picture at all. In fact, I'm sure as I step into a fuller relationship with God, He'll re-frame a lot of what I believe I've learned here. What I will say is, regardless of how you view this, I hope you walk away not worried or sad, but full of joy that you know that God is greater than any error, misinterpretation or anything else we can dream up.
And You?
