God's right of Creation

Vs

Man's right of Salvation

( Postmark - July 23, 2001

... Do the years that pass by cause a man to be old?..Or is it the concepts he holds in his mind giving rise to what he does in his body?
... As we repeatedly think the thoughts we think and do the things we do, "…it gets old."..You've heard this expression...When that which forms our concept of being no longer exists and the concepts themselves disappear, what remains?..…Being...No longer are we reliant upon concepts...We have come to the "reality" of our "self" apart from concepts.
... Trapped by these conceptual underpinnings we are kept from coming into our eternity of Being...The conceptual is finite and cannot contain the reality of the eternal...Its purpose was to bring us to the eternal, a mirror by which to know ourselves...But the reality of Being is who we are...Eternal in its nature, it is without object, or origin, of focus, for then there would be beginning and end...Instead there is just Being...Unconditional Being...Immeasurable, without boundaries...Its ambiance combines freshly scented solemnity...Innate to itself lies the reason it is called that which translates heaven...Coming into its realization sets us as we truly are.
... The only thing we take from this present conceptual reality is the choice to be (or not to be) part of that reality to come...This is ultimately evidenced by our being realized (or not realized) in that reality...In his initial creation man did not have the choice of his own making...Seemingly conferring upon him conditionality...Having sinned subsequent to his creation, procuring death to himself (evidence of conditionality) he now has the freedom to return from death...Compensating for his not having had the choice in his initial creation, while conferring upon him a measure of self-existence...Self-existence is among the qualities of the eternal.
... What this means is, though Adam and Eve had the choice to continue to live or die, by not eating or eating of the tree, that did not address the matter of their not having the choice in their initial creation...Having chosen to eat of the tree, procuring death to themselves, this is balanced out by their having the choice to return from death...It is as if man had returned to his uncreated state from which he can now choose to bring himself into being...Whilst this demonstrates the power and justice of God it also shows that the right(eousness) of God to create us without our choice held within it the right of man to save himself...Upon this principle rests the reason for the plan of salvation...It was not an after thought, rather, it pre-existed Adam and Eve's eating of the tree...We therefore look upon salvation as a right and not something we're begging for as it has been so erroneously presented...Having seduced man into transgression, it has also been Lucifers purpose to estrange mankind from his right of salvation...There would be no salvation were it not that in accordance with the requirements of true justice, lost man had a right to it.
... We can demand this right, though this is not necessary for God is more than happy to comply with our rights...He did not create us to die, rather to live...It is for us to take hold of what is rightfully ours.
... Had Adam and Eve not eaten of the tree they would still have had eternal life...They had it anyway, though not by choice of initial creation...Rather, by the fact of their association with the self-existent one-God...By eating of the tree they became separated from God; death having now entered their consciousness...But the issue here is not eternal life per se, rather Freedom, as evinced in the ability of the choice to be or not to be...This is satisfied whether by choice of initial creation, or by choice to return from death...The right(eousness) of God to have created without our choice is therefore ratified through the right of man to return from death completing the equation.
... Our having to exercise this right ourselves is protective of that freedom...And necessary in light of the circumstances surrounding man's initial creation...Once exercised, the assurance of our continuity of Being is firmly established, having for its surety God himself.
... There comes a point in the pursuit of knowing, where crude cognitive logic gives way to loveliness...Whilst logic was a useful tool in deciphering the knowledge of our experiences, when it comes to the precious truth, better means are required...The instrument of loveliness, as a woman lovingly embraces the fruit of her labor (the evidence of her ascendance to motherhood), comes into play...Thus is truth set in its beauty, its majesty to be seen as the sunlight makes visible the glory of the sun.
... Having come to the place of salvation it has its own peculiar discourse...Which makes for pleasant communion brethren to brethren, while we wait on God to restore all things...It is also a welcome repose from the vexations caused by the prevalence of ungodliness and hypocrisy.
