No Vision Of Light

 

💭

There was a time when survival depended on mutual reliance, and care was taken in preparing the home and hearth.

There was reverence for the sacred, the mysteries of the unknown, and never a cowardly disregard for the truth.

Discoveries were valued, and talent and intelligence were respectfully sought after, not exploited for delusional, power-hungry gains.

The focus back then was on survival, not on shallow, emaciated bodies unfit for childbearing.

Nor was the emphasis solely on looks, so that nothing else can be seen, except some false standard of perfection.

No vision of light is what those shallow modernists have, especially when nothing is seen beyond the physical.

Never will the heart be seen and the mind understood, and the light felt.

Let's try to view it from the Lord's perspective.

Love is always present, waiting for you in peace and harmony.

The Holy Spirit is constantly with you, guiding you with love and peace.

Your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit depends on how connected you are to the fruit of the Spirit within you.

The Lord grants you free will to choose who you want to be and the kind of relationship you desire. Any abandonment of that choice ultimately rests with you.

When you first sin and cause harm, you create a barrier between yourself, the Lord, and others. Continuing in sin builds a prison of wrongdoings.

Every sinful brick you lay corrupts your spirit from within, blocking you from receiving the Lord's love, grace, and forgiveness.

The larger the sin, the more extensive the prison of wrongdoings becomes, increasing the blockage and your difficulty in receiving grace and connecting with the Holy Spirit and humanity.

When the emptiness of the spirit is replaced with unhealthy and unholy illusions of grandeur, destructive sins, and betrayal of not only who you were but also of humanity and the Lord, it can become unforgivable because the prison wall of shame becomes too thick and deep to break down.

Love and peace, grace and forgiveness are always there; however, they are out of reach for the unrepentant and blasphemers. 

 

💜

It is always important to remember that the Lord is love and therefore wills what is best for humanity and for each person within it.  

If an individual commits a wrong or sin against another person, humanity, and the Lord, the reconciliation with the Lord is there for those willing to repent and atone, and clean themselves up before the close.

The problem occurs when the guilty party fails to realize the extent of the harm and the work required to repair their soul, and thus the level of work required to receive redemption fully.  

Forgiveness for most sins is there for those able to understand their wrongs and harm fully, thus able to receive the Lord's forgiving grace after making peace with the Lord.  

If there is no peace within you, then there may be wrongs needing to be confronted, repented, and atoned for.

There is a difference between infinite Grace and forgiveness.*  What is it?

*Google AI Definition of forgiveness:

Forgiveness is the conscious, deliberate decision to let go of feelings of resentment, vengeance, or anger toward someone who has harmed you.

(Note: Only the victim and the Lord can cancel a specific trespass and release the offense. The perpetrator of the trespass may forgive oneself only after redemption.)

What It Is vs. What It Isn't

Experts make a clear distinction between what constitutes true forgiveness and what is merely a misconception:

It is NOT Forgetting: Forgiving does not erase the memory of wrongdoing.

It is NOT Condoning or Excusing: It does not justify the offender’s actions or imply that what they did was acceptable.

It is NOT Reconciliation: You are not required to rebuild a relationship with the person or keep them in your life.

It is NOT Forgoing Justice: Forgiveness is an internal emotional process and does not release the offender from legal or social accountability.

It is NOT the cancellation of sin or harm: Once a sin, harm, trespass, or crime has been committed, it is done; there is no undoing it, and therefore does not release the offender from legal, social, or moral responsibility.

In most major faiths, infinite Grace is defined as the proactive, unconditional, unearned, and infinite love and mercy of the Divine. 

Infinite grace is the theological and philosophical concept of limitless, unearned, and unconditional divine favor.

***Google AI Overview              

The Bible indicates that unrepentant sin cannot be forgiven because God's forgiveness requires a turning away from sin. 

This concept appears throughout scripture, directly tying forgiveness to acknowledgment and repentance.  

The ultimate example of unforgivable unrepentance is the unpardonable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), which is a persistent, willful rejection of God's grace and truth.

Matthew 12:31-32: Jesus warns, "Therefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men". 

Note: 

We know from Matthew 7:23, when Jesus said to false believers after claims of prophecy in Jesus’ name and performing miracles, “I never knew you.  Away from me, evildoers,” that Jesus did not forgive them.  

Though it was unclear as to the sins committed by those unholy many, what was clear was that it was unforgiven by Jesus Christ.

Since living in unrepentant sin leads to damnation, wouldn't committing more ongoing sins result in greater damnation?

When will there ever be redemption if it is bypassed for assumed forgiveness that is never received, in cold-hearted ruthlessness, or in grandiose and selfish desires that are never atoned for?

If forgivable sins that are unrepentant lead to damnation, where do the unforgivable sins lead?

A forever separation from the Lord and love, eternal damnation without the possibility of salvation?  

Why are very grievous, unforgivable sins, such as desecration in blasphemy of the temple of the Holy Spirit, with serious damnation outcomes, not addressed or rarely addressed in our churches?  

Why nearly always preach as if all sins will be forgiven (which is not true, especially without repentance and in unforgivable sins of blasphemy) and the onerous put upon the victim (as if forgiveness can happen instantly or at all in traumatic harm) and not on the perpetrator responsible for the sin and harm to repent and atone and ask for forgiveness (instead of assuming or demanding firgiveness without an ounce of repentance)?
