Now, in the 21st. Century, there are thousands of denominations and independent churches claiming to be followers and worshippers of our Lord, Jesus, The Christ. (… and they all believe differently from each other )

In our focus, the pure line of belief is the Bible (which we believe is The Word of God). So… what does it say that our common beliefs should be?

We summarize it here in The Apostles’ Creed (8th. Century). If you are considering believing and following The Lord Jesus with us … please consider carefully, the following…

J.R.R. Tolkien said:
"Not one-in-a-million is fit for leadership,
and least of all,
anyone who seeks the opportunity".

The one assigned to mediate between God and sinful humans was indeed, “One-In-A-Million” and more…
He was "One-In-An Eternity”.

The task of a mediator…is to facilitate communication and negotiation so that two parties may reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

In the mediation case between God and humans,
God wanted His Creation to be perfect as He created it …
Humans wanted to hear some good news… that their survival was possible…

Only One Human could make that happen …

Incarnate means something un-human becomes human.
It could be an idea like capitalism…one might say that “Elon Musk is capitalism incarnate.”
It could be a condition, such as “People in Gaza have been incarnated with suffering.”

In this post, I’d like you think about the word when it is used in the season of Advent and Christmas. That’s when we take time to contemplate “The Incarnation” of God Himself in human form.

It is crucial for us to understand why God The Father would do such a thing.
(It wasn’t to try living as human for while to see how it feels…)

As you will see, He did it because
it was the only way…

People Don’t Actually Want Equality. They Want Fairness.
Harry Frankfurt in his book, On Equality argues that economic equality alone has no intrinsic value. People just want what others have.

A good example is from (comedian and writer for Conan O’Brien) Louis C.K.. He describes how his five-year-old’s toy broke and she demanded that he break her sister’s toy, –– which would then make things “equal”.

But when it comes to fairness and God…

It’s like, when we are drawing out a plan or chart on a piece of paper, or a check list, or even a quick sketch… and we make mistake… instead of erasing the mistake, we just crumple up the whole thing and start over…

And we never hear the paper say to us…”hey!… that’s not fair!”

Because, there is nothing fair between a Creator … and the thing that was created…
but…
there can be Grace…

There’s two extreme views on the idea of original sin. They are summarized by the following two quotations.

▪ "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart" (Anne Frank)
Or
▪ "The condition of man… is a condition of war ––of everyone against everyone," (Thomas Hobbes)

Most of us fall somewhere along the spectrum between the two, depending on one’s desire to fatally accept the position, or inject one’s self-will into reality for doing good.

The Bible doesn’t help the altruistic very much…
“For there is no distinction: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by…” (Romans 3: 23-24)

Now, there is some hope, if you are a seeker of justification…

Why do humans even bother to obey laws? There seems to be 5 reasons:

1. They believe in fairness and prefer to live in an equitable world
2. They desire to avoid negative consequences … like imprisonment
3. They always want to be sure they are doing the “right” thing
4. They believe it’s the only way to to maintain a stable society
5. They believe there is a future spiritual reward for those who do

But the Bible says very plainly that God’s law is impossible to be obeyed … all humans will eventually break all or most of it…
If you belong to Christ…you already know this …
even if you haven't done anything about that… yet…

In twenty-first century culture, “belonging” to someone means that a person has made a choice –– about devotion, identity, loyalty –– to another person or group – as a personal choice. As long as that relationship is maintained by the person, the “belonging to” continues.
That is not the way it is in Biblical Christianity. “Belonging to” Christ means to be THE PROPERTY of Christ. He owns the ones belonging to Him. The Bible uses the Greek word, “doulos" (δούλος), which we (rightly, historically-remorseful) Americans purposely translate “servant” … but its correct, accurate translation is “slave”.
(Matthew 25:21) “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’ “
In the spiritual realm, this is a very good thing. Mere humans should not be roaming around that sphere on their own. There are adversaries there, that are not content on merely injuring us –– they desire to consume us!
As a Doulos of Christ, they cannot lay a claw upon us…
