(10/28/2018) The Answer Jesus Shared


The image depicts a tragedy among the Jews at Siloam where a tower fell killing 18 (see reference below)



Today, reply is on the process of GOD for mankind, eternal purpose, and the instruction of Jesus Christ on human tragedies. Ones salvation is a spiritual condition that is to remain unaltered despite changes in their material, physical and social circumstances, and conditions. Divinity and the operations of sacred law are not the cause or origin for every observable event appearing on the earth. Many occurrences are the result of exchanges and interactions among created beings, living creatures, and material objects displaying as patterns and regularities in accordance with mechanical and natural law, rather than on the basis of obeying the will of GOD. Thus, believers are to understand that the recent mass shooting within a house of worship in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) was not carried out in accordance with divine law, at the command and direction of GOD, as a punishment and verdict of divine judgment, or through the operations of the Holy Spirit. The blessings of GOD can not be annulled, diminished, or eliminated merely through the workings of created beings and living creatures who pursue ignorance, self-will, violence, and wickedness.

Why didn't God protect the Jews yesterday?

Update: Or was God not there at all?



THE GOLDEN ARROW: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Romans 8: 5-10, King James Version, KJV)

Anonymous”, the holy writings report that on one occasion, Jesus was asked and responded to a similar question. His reply at that time, coupled with other scriptures, show us that the process of divinity for mankind insists there be accountability, autonomy, integrity, and mortality among all those living on the earth, and throughout all Creation. This is consistent and in agreement with mankind having authority over himself and dominion while yet on the earth, and that men be subject to their own errors, faults, and infirmities as well as subject to chance occurrence (we say, accidents). While Jesus did perform healing and miracles during the course of his ministry among the Jews, the higher focus of his work included atonement for the sin of Adam and all mankind; bestowing and imparting sacred gifts through the Holy Spirit; correcting errors of doctrine among the Jews that resulted from man-made customs and traditions being respected as though they were also the dictates of divine law; the fulfillment of obligations to divine law through the workings of faith and righteousness; continuing covenant relationship between divinity and mankind through the sacrifice of holy blood as well as completing full works of judgment, resurrection from the dead, salvation, and the second death. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible:

(1.) Luke 13: 1-5, King James Version (KJV): 1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
(2.) Ecclesiastes 9: 10-12, KJV: 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (3.) Psalms 115: 12-18, KJV: 12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORDs: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
