“Keep your sanity, for all that take up the sword shall perish with the sword.” ~Jesus Christ (He was telling Peter, “FORGIVE! “)
“The more weapons of violence, the more misery to mankind,” Lao-tzu taught. “The triumph of violence ends in a festival of morning.”
“Resort to force in the Great War (I) failed to bring tranquility.” Franklin D. Roosevelt pointed out. “Victory and defeat were alike sterile. That lesson the world should have learned.”
There are REASONS enlightened men and women taught nonviolence. Because our Father in heaven supports it!! Think, is it sane to send children overseas to kill people? Can a Christian kill someone, or send someone else to kill someone for them and enter into eternal peace? A disciple of Jesus Christ makes a U turn the moment he or she realizes for themselves, by THINKING FOR THEMSELVES, that they have been generationally bamboozled.
The Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life can only be attained through peace and love. Hate and strife are concepts blindly believed in by those among us who have not yet realized, war is insanity. A disciple of Jesus Christ has given up trying to be right at the cost of being happy. The juice was just no longer worth the squeeze. Happiness is not obtained by intellectual superiority. Happiness results from a calm peaceful mind at rest knowing that the Savior Jesus Christ resurrected 2000 years ago, and He NEVER LEFT US ALONE!
We are psychologically insane if we continue to blindly believe that we can support or finance war and ever see Jesus Christ in person. He stays hidden from a mind not willing to follow His commandment to love one another. Not because He is hiding. But because you fear Him. You, for whom you would attack you fear. Enemies are feared before they are attacked. Jesus Christ stands unseen and unknown behind every set of eyes you encounter. This is unknown to a mind hell bent on war.
We must all become prodigal sons and think for a moment, in my Father’s house no body went to war. The church based on the king James version is of no use to humanity if it does not repent of war, and RETURN TO CHRIST. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr told us that a country in a continual war, is headed for “spiritual doom.”
We are helpless without God. And yes this war-ing generation is “doomed” unless it asks for Gods help. You need a spiritual component to end war, and God is That Spiritual component. The best human endeavor is of no effect without Gods blessing behind it. Prayer is a call to sanity. It is a call to self-purification, to an inward search.
We must not peer out on a world with blind eyes to find fault in others. We must instead look within ourselves, without guilt and condemnation, (Jesus Christ Atoned for those), and find out what’s keeping ME FROM HEAVEN? Fruit of the spirit is acquired through understanding, and a WILLINGNESS to change long held generational family beliefs if they conflict with experience. Experience is the “grader” of your beliefs. If your beliefs are real and based in truth then your faith proves it TO YOU. If your BELIEFS however are FALSE, then there is NO EXPERIENCE.
“Except you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” ~Jesus Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi stated in his doctrine these words about the non violent alternatives to armed might. “I have found that life persists in the midst of destruction. Therefore there must be a higher law than that of destruction. Only under that law would well-ordered society be intelligible and life worth living. Wherever there are wars, wherever we are confronted with an opponent, conquer them with love. It takes a fairly strenuous course of training to attain a mental state of nonviolence. It is a disciplined life, like the life of a soldier. The perfect state is reached only when the mind, body, and speech are in proper coordination.
Every problem would lend itself to solution if we determined to make the law of truth and nonviolence the law of life.”
Peace of mind is the goal of the curriculum outlined by Jesus Christ to His disciples. Loving thy enemies is at the CORE of the program. Simply because, WE HAVE NO ENEMIES. Peace will come to your mind by your willingness to forgive and no longer judge “your” enemies. You were created “enemy-less” but insisted on your own autonomy. This self government being unreal, (“which was made real, by having enemies”), is you’re doing, not Gods.
The self governing ego, in an attempt to usurp the power of God, made for itself enemies by judging our Father’s creation as imperfect. Imperfection is of man not God. God created His Creation in His Image, and man made his world in his image.
The world you see is an imagery state of being. Imagery because, the future has always been 100% imagined! Time is an imaginative concept believed to be true by the sons and daughters of man, but in reality time does not exist at all except for in a mind asleep. We don’t have mental peace 24/7 because we are afraid. But what we fear does not exist, no one understands this except for the disciples of Jesus Christ who have chosen love over fear. Jesus Christ will PROVE fear to be false if we will unconditionally forgive everyone in an attempt to love them.
God was not insane at the time of creation, creating war-ing peoples. War is the outcrop of psychological oppression brought about by generations of Christians who believe it is OK to harm their enemies. War, and all the ideas surrounding war are insane to a disciple of the risen Jesus Christ. The wounding of others in thought, feeling, word, or deed is incomprehensible to one who wants to see Jesus Christ for themselves.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr tells us that if a Christian continues to blindly believe that war is tolerable, he or she is headed for a spiritual catastrophe. The spiritual catastrophe for the king James Christians is never being able to see OR hear their Savior. We “work inequalities” when we do not follow His teachings. Jesus Christ tells us that our actions of love “should talk”; like He demonstrated, under far less extreme circumstances.
When we are upset or angry at Anyone for Anything, and do not pray and call on the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ for “assistance”, we are the workers of inequality, or bias. (Bias is prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair).
In closing, Now is the time for the disciples of Jesus Christ to contact Him, and not after a future perceived “physical ruin.” All our “after death beliefs” are NOTHING, just thoughts.
