This is remotely the way that unaware people tentatively approach us when we feel confident in our unique experience. I think we are wrestling here with misrepresenting of these joyful experiences that likely Christians embody. I have seldom encountered someone who actually in all cheerful serenity rejoices in boasting about Christ. The religious culture harshly suppresses the distinct advantage that we genuinely enjoy to worship with a spiritual, and the physical might. We are constantly advised that our sublime experience will be in the promising future but now we are arbitrarily assigned in this dull world to toil and work. And we glory in merely describing the Christian as a life of pain and constant trouble. We prepare this in a subtle way by unwittingly using words like we are "bound by the flesh" or we foolishly believe the good dog and bad dog analogy.
All of our sophisticated process is naturally producing a created image. We are exceptionally competent at viewing ourselves and others especially in how we are advised to incorporate the "modern knowledge of human behavior."Every familiar image that we intentionally produce factual errors in our view of the possible causes that we find seeking wisdom in a given situation. Its natural for us to believe we must subdue our will by developing an image of Christ through merely describing the intensest pain. We lower our expectations, so we are not overly confident. We cannot detach ourselves from our extraordinary experience as we reasonably interpret our image of Christ. This possible description merely exposes our inner Christian experience. And we talk as if we stand respectfully in a neutral position as we inaccurately describe the selected parts of uncomfortable truth that adds up to the truth. We misrepresent the Christian experience as simply an accumulation of knowledge that we are detached in being able to describe all of these diverse parts so that we can enjoy a unity. We are cowardly creatures who desperately crave mutual acceptance. Our genuine reality starts in how we properly view God. What correctly is God like? How big is this God? What has God declared? We see this distorted image was exploited in the first temptation. "Has God said"? God produced everything in 6 days and pronounced it good. But man tried to redefine Gods perfect pronouncements. Instead of man declaring Gods pronouncement in successful response to the serpent, he decided to pronounce his own authority over creation. The serpent clearly proposed the question "Is God really good"? Man should have properly spoken the authoritative pronouncement that God promptly declared everything good. But to some people the tree of knowledge of good and evil suffered some kind of odd power to withdraw some men away.They present the contradictory idea that to voluntarily choose is to be in between two equivalent powers.The moral power of the authoritative pronouncement and the destructive power of the tree. But if there is no contradictory evidence of a choice then there is no choice at all.A choice purely represents God allowing us to experience freedom in enjoying the choice. We undoubtedly see God has decreed whatsoever comes to pass. He has promptly issued enough authoritative pronouncements to resolutely resist the devil.In fact He has already decreed that the devil is powerless to rule by moral evil and violent destruction. But we describe our Christian experience by living in this contradictory imagination of equilibrium free will. We vainly imagine it's because we have a choice to either obey or willfully disobey that defines our personal freedoms. We fail to have Gods authoritative pronouncements on our lips. We are not confident we are sheltered in His description of us when we pronounce the end from the beginning. We inadvertently redefine the accurate image.
