What do I mean by they?
The they could be anyone that's been asked about you. The they are the ones that testify about you to others.
Here's yet another sobering thought in terms of generalized religion and its affects on people.
Some of the calmest, nicest and gentle natured people I've encountered are either sitting on the fence in terms of being willing to admit there is a God, or some say they do believe in a God or some idea of a Deity, but even fewer believe ONLY upon Christ Jesus as their one and only savior.
Why is Christianity so insistent upon the importance of not only acknowledging there is a God, but also as part of that same acknowledgement the attachment of this man named Jesus who is called the "Christ"?
Mankind and his history is known for attempting to sweep the identity of some people under the rug over time. Many understand the importance of denying or undermining the legacy of some as if they hope to erase their personage from the mind of humanity.
There is great importance in knowing specific details of a persons life such as who their friends were as those that might have had influence in their life and thinking. Maybe the consideration of family, (blood line) genealogy, relatives.
But I ask is that all there is and where might anything else about Jesus the Christ be stored for the next generation should they even care to know about Him?
How many supposedly great people have written biographies or have had others tell their story, yet how many have you read where Jesus the Christ was accredited as the "Why" these people did what they did in this life as a clearly documented testimony about them?
Where did the cause and effect theme go?
Historians understand the importance of well documented facts captured in time. Well knowing that dates and times can either confirm or negate certain things as to their accuracy as if either fact or opinion that have been based on supposition.
The bible is very different in terms of clear dates and time lines being laid out so that your average lay person can somehow make use of such information should they also be asked for specifics when they try to tell (convince) others about about this seemingly systemic belief being presented called "Christianity".
Non-believing historians also have a field day with that same lack of factual substance.
What I'm trying to focus on is that no matter how well documented any person is, the further down the line of time humanity travels, the easier it gets to blur their identity. Yes, we will still hopefully have books or at least until the tree's run out and electronic documentation takes over (that's a whole sobering thought in itself, but I won't go there for now).
These important people in history seem to lose a part of their identity from one generation to the next.
If you'll remember, I mentioned previously a mass of people that managed to escape the primordial soup theology as though a cluster of humanity that have taken a huge step towards a said God, yet I asked What would separate or divide out an even more finite (specific) group of people?
Now consider the number of God that are thought to be in the mind of humanity? How are they separted one from another?
The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob in Christianity narrows it down somewhat, yet don't some other religions still argue over their lineage as to who's who in this one and the same Gods eyes? As though who's the favorite (chosen) children in the eyes of this God?
How much of any religion has to do with a person also being accepted by their "God"? What requirements would this type of vague God place upon anyone hoping to be recognized in their eyes?
Keep in mind we've reached the forgone silent conclusion in so much we're only talking about what man considers in his mind and Not all creation as though one creator is being (divided) decided upon through this exercise.
The God of Christianity says many and as many places in His message to humanity, I will be their God and They will be my people", yet how does this God and this people agree upon one another and where is the evidence of this agreement kept?
Now let me ask this, "How valuable is your faith and where is it kept for safe keeping?
It's been ask about the creator of a life that's been lived. It's been ask about what happens after that said life ends, but what gets determined "during this life "Time"?
I'll reintroduce the opening question once more, Why do we do what we do and do we do whatever that is for the reward?
Hopefully in the next portion I'll find the words to sharpen what some already sort of know, and maybe introduce some questions others may not have truthfully considered about who they think they know that's been based on why they believe all that they do believe.
