Questioning hopelessness in Hebrews 6 : 6 (v. 02b)

Hebrews 6 : 6 talks about someone who has experienced the intense goodness of salvation and then falls out of grace again, being definitely doomed. 

So there are some people who are just not meant for Christianity ever. 

Hebrew then would continue on saying something I found to be questionable, but before that I'm going to address this first, if that were the case, that some people are just not meant for Christianity, than I don't think it is as bad as it sounds. For one the Christians wouldn't like it if they were to be counted as one of the Christians when they were not, and then they wouldn't like it themselves because they themselves rejected the Christian life. So it is actually a win win. 

Looking deeper at what the writer was saying, one prove that you're not one of those people is : you contributed to the cause. Yes, to keep it simple stupid or stupid simple, you give goods and services or money to the cause then you're not one of those people (a lot of people wouldn't agree with me or like the way I say it). Now, is this one of those things that pastors said to scare their congregations into donating money? I don't know, but I find it reasonable to put it like that. Why is it that in businessess it is ok to not deal with people who wouldn't appreciate you with money while in the church not? Money is an acknowledgement anyway, if you really appreciates Christianity then money is a clear proof that you do, although it shouldn't be the only thing that defines your Christianity. So the act of contributing, is one of the indication that you are not crucifying Jesus the second time.

Now why is that the case? I think it comes down to the meaning of the crucifixion, it is that the crucified is worthless, to be disposed of, to be disregarded, discarded. Why would a person contributes to something he/she couldn't appreciate? Here we see the meaning of fruit in Christianity, because the book of Hebrew illustrates these people as a field that received rain but grew thorns and thistle instead of crops, they produced the insult after being fed with the grace of God. Fruit is positive contribution for the kingdom of God. 

Again and again the bible talks about discernment through results rather than facade. My question is, what if these people one day changed their mind and started contributing to the cause of God then? Healing people, enriching people positively, consoling people. By then I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Should it be considered that they weren't adults (as in Hebrew 6) when they dismissed Christianity? Or should Christianity be defined differently, those that do the work of the kingdom are Christians (Godlike) whether or not they were church people? In turn it means that church people who weren't doing the work of the kingdom were not really Godlike. I like the way it sounds but I think there must be more to it, much more to it.

The problem with Christians

Actually it's just "One of the problem" with Christians, but that sounded kinda meh. 

So the problem with Christians is, the infallibility. We always took the stance of infallibility of our ideology, so that means we won't evolve. That's a problem and these past 2000 years has proven that we couldn't but to evolve, we are forced to evolve. 

Why can't Christianity be considered ok like other ideology like buddhism, or even satanism? Because we won't change, we won't correct ourselves and that's scary. When we are passive, things might be relatively peaceful with us, but when we exercise power based on Christianity... it's infallible. That's stupid, we are not Jesus, we are not God. 

So in my opinion if we wanted to be ourselves and be harmonious with other people, our reputation to be less notorious, we should stop prioritizing the words of the bible that we thought are always right, over evidence and logic. To add to this, the fact that we are not ready with our logical defense and resorted to "the bible is always right" kind of attitude, could reliably interpreted that deep down, we actually are afraid of the Truth, we are not on the side of the Truth, we are not with the Truth. 

So stupid, the Spirit of Truth is our God. 

Let's prioritize Him over our narratives.

The Contrast to be Concluded Eternally v.05

God is the creator, who brought order out of chaos. Lovely order

God is The Word, who salvaged the letters into eternal meaning, Love

God is The Spirith of Truth, who solidifies all of the above so that the results are permanent / stable as one reality. 

Everything that Jesus said about the enemy therefore can be seen as the opposite of God, a thief (who stole people out of Love), a destroyer (who disrupts the order of Love), the father of lies (who made people believe in lies about what is Lovely and what's not, what is eternally good, what is True, what is wise, and what is not).

The Meaning of my baptism v.03

I acknowledge the Life that created the world (The Father), and that as a living being, the purpose is Salvation (The Son), and that it is going to happen (to be True, The Spirit of Truth, The Holy Spirit). 

That I left my old self in the water (Chaos), moving forward in the direction (putting myself in order). 

Even if I fell while carrying my cross, this baptism is in the memory of the Truth and I could always get back to it, no one could take it away from me (one baptism). 

The fire of the Truth, the trials of reality is going to leave me as gold or everything that's precious (by Fire)

And we'll emerge victorious (The Kingdom of Jesus, the sick healed, the weak strengthened, the needy helped, the grieving consoled, the blind sees, the deaf hears...)

God v.05

This the core of contention or the beef between people, discord, the deception that God is not Harmonious and Just, the deception that sprung forth a sense of justice that is wrong. God is what is described by harmony and Justice.

In the story of the garden of eden, the snake made eve believe that God was not acting in the best interest of humans. That was the deception.

See if we perceive the world, right and left, high and low, big small, hot cold, light dark, we know that they are orderly and universal. There is harmony in the order of existence, and there's only one Truthful past, harmony in time/interactions. If we perceive fractal patterns, we could comprehend that differences have roots, purposeful variations that are grounded in an alghoritm.

So when we see the world, stop seeing it or try your best not to see it through the glasses of the enemy/satan, but through the glasses of logic and reason, faith, which is that there's a harmony to the persevation of inclinations. There's God. The point of view of zero entropy of things (and it is not even an indication that there's only one perfect way, there could be multiple).

This is what the frustration of the prophets and Jesus was, that we are not faithful enough. If you see the world to be chaotic and pointless. That's the manifestation of evil, that's depression, and you should stop propagating it in reality

I've been there multiple times, but I would want the help of somebody who is not in that mindset. I want more of those people, not less.

Sometimes, the answer to our depression were in expressing it in beauty, even in expressing it. Because there is order in expressions, the Word in letters. Sorry I didn't mean to undermine... Hope you get the point

Proverb 22: 1, Good name is preferred over great riches v.04

I specifically searched for other comparisons about this verse in other parts of the bible. It is what it is, good name is good name, being esteemed is being perceived as nice, preferable. There was something important not to overlook though, that it is Truthful, because it is not just about good name in the eyes of men, but also in the eyes of God. 

So when it comes to God, what can you do on reputation management? He sees everything, just be really good. But when it comes to man I'll give an illustration:

Lets say that there is a community that hates long hairs. You like to wear hats, and you always tucked in your long hair. Everyday you deal with this community to trade and stuff, they didn't know that you have long hair. One day its hot and you took off the hat, then everybody felt betrayed by you and refused to do business with you, even tried to destroy your assets. 

In my opinion there's nothing wrong about wearing a hat, its their fault to assume short hair out of you. But its also like building house on sand rather than on rocks. (To each their own but, each situation is different, temporal things could be translated to long term for a cost or even not). 

-----------------------------

Good names in my opinion is about the sustainability of a business or the legitimacy of a property, maybe more for other people I won't go too far. Its like political stability and not always have to live in a fight or flight mode. Truthful, Objective, Holistic reputation is something other than Subjective reputation, there is such a thing.

So here is my suggestion to that guy, find other people with long hairs but hidden, or even other things that they hate... and reveal them simultaneously. Measure their attention span relative to our numbers, you'd want to evenly distribute the rage so that the least among us could afford at their replenishable parts of their assets. If the least is too small then he/she should be put in a different batch.

Further into Rome 12:2 (lanjutan v.05)

Romans 12:2KJV: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." ... Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

From bibleref featured in google search (June, 2021)

It is often preached that its about not living like non Christians live. But I just realized that there's the mechanism part in there, "transformed by the renewing of your mind", "prove", "you will learn". OMG! Its exactly the opposite of what was suggested or what I believed was suggested all this time... Its about thinking for yourself.

Basically dia bilang, jangan ikut ikutan. 

(Jangan ikut ikutan cuma karena populer harusnya, tapi pikir sendiri dan perbarui pikiran)

The point of view of the powerful, and the formula of the esteemed, is not superior to the Truth of your daily matters.

Of course don't cross the line beyond your reach, but just being a "sheep" as the way people mocked us to be, is actually not any different.

Following Jesus is about picking up our own cross, not the standardized cross people who couldn't possibly know about us imposed upon us. Why would you be a muscle cell while God made you to be a lipid cell? Why insult lipid cells for not being muscle-like while all have their own purpose.

We would never be a part of the body of Christ if we were not who we are. 

So be who you are, you're not a machine for some pride of a race, or a group who don't even care about who you are individually. When you are who you really are as an individual, then you'll naturally fit with the rest of the body of God... Truthfully, in Christ
