The students that play “school” are those students who go to school for formality, without any real intention to study or to succeed.
Such students skip class easily. They may sit in class but will be absent minded, not paying attention to the lessons. They would hardly ever devote time for personal studies. They would be more interested in extracurricular activities. They may claim to care about their results but their actions towards the lessons prove otherwise. Students that play “school” will not succeed until they decide to change for the better. The level of change will reflect in their results every time.
So it is with playing “church”.
If you must make it in eternity, you must be an active student of the church. Learning from Jesus is the state of mind that is admitted into heaven because it is the only prove that one loves and believes in the messiah. When we are sincerely applying ourselves to practice the teachings of Christ (saintcraft), then we enter a state of mind that is child-like; pure, humble, alert, inquisitive, curious, hopeful, trusting, ready to learn with a light heart. All you have to learn is to learn to be with Jesus. It is to learn to be with God. It is to learn to be with yourself so that to can go within yourself and find the kingdom of God which is within you. It's to learn to be in his presence, for like Jacob said " the Lord is in this place and I was not aware of it." Gen 28:16 The Lord is always present with us, all we need to do is to be still and go within ourselves then we will know God and the true nature of all things. It's to learn to be in union and fellowship with Him.
We were taught that ADAM AND EVE’s sin was DISOBEDIENCE but that cannot be true. We know now that We Sin because of our Sinful Nature. If Disobedience was their sin, Does it mean that God made man imperfect from the very beginning? Does it mean that God made man with the sinful nature from the very beginning? As long as man still has the sinful nature in him, he will sin (act selfishly, act foolishly, in ways that are not beneficial niether to himself or to others) when given the opportunity. So the question remains
WHAT WAS THE SIN OF ADAM AND EVE?
WHY DID ADAM AND EVE SIN?
Only if the churchonline shows intense interest in these questions will there be answered in the future posts.
Today the focus is on the seriousness with which you do your spiritual practice (saintcraft). Be an active christian with a serious and determined intention to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Then and only then will you become more and more aware of a newly found freedom in Christ. But if you are there only playing church then, you will continue to create all kinds of sufferings for yourself and for those around you.
Be wise, don't play church! !!!
