Make the tree good and it's fruit good, or make the tree evil, and it's fruit evil, for the tree is known by its fruit.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
I am the true vine, you are the branches.
Pick up my yoke and learn from me.
Creator created us to be what?
Well, just today I realize, we can see the answer in Jesus. Jesus lived as tho he was created to be what? The father never leaves me because I always do what pleases him, he said.
Jesus lived as though he was to be the most perfect possible human being in the eyes of creator, as Jesus understood him.
Pick up my yoke and learn from me. It is enough for the disciple to be as the master.
We are to be the most perfect possible human being. And it is as though every situation, particularly the most difficult to deal with, is given us so that we can learn to be the most perfect possible human being in that situation.
This is not the liberal idea of do what feels good. Jesus is the template. Everything is to be tested against his life teachings and example, his understanding is including of Creator and what Creator wants.
James, this is so obvious, why are you sharing this? Yes, it is incredibly obvious, and I have just today seen it. I have never seen it even remotely before today. What an indictment of christianity. What a success of christianity. 73 years it has succeeded in preventing me from seeing the truth. The obvious truth.
We are not created to be a copy of jesus. We are to copy Jesus in attempting to be the most perfect possible human being, pleasing to him, and pleasing to his father, his creator, our father, as Jesus understood him.
