No 1063 of Living Life Series 1
Whatever was said by a heavenly saint will be believed at that point in time as from him. But as time passed by, many would say he didn't say so. In fact, with time, others will water down what he said or even add on their interpretations and comments. This became what he taught.
As more time lapsed, what would we expect? Many would say that the teachings were not from the saint. Given enough time, a compassionate and loving saint would be portrayed as someone who meant bossiness and a firm enforcer of sorts.
Then some might even say that he is not as saintly or not even a saint or that his existence is a figment of the imagination of men. This would be ridiculous but it happens or rather can happen.
That is why there is need to go to the upper source for clear water and not flow downstream with the crowd. That is why there is need for mission to show the oneness of religions by urging us to go to the upper source - the common basics.
This mission is no easy one. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨is the messenger of God and saints for this mission. The objective is to urge us to go to the upper source and realize the oneness of religions and sects. The basics are all the same in religions.
Go to the basics and if we get the basics correct, all will be well. We will be better at what we are. We will be better at whatever religion we are in.
Any temple of any heavenly saint like the good lord is not spared from the problems and issues of men. Men would in time even deny what the saint said and add on teachings which he never said. Then in time, they might think he is not even history and history will be rewritten by men.
All will be well if we do not flow downstream with the crowd but go upstream instead. It is best to know the truth or doctrine and if we can grasp this, we will know God and saints better.
That is why the good lord says that the Word is the image and the image is the Word. The problem is in men who know not the upper source. The problem is not in God and saints and not even the often maligned Devil.
The poor infamous devil is ever on the receiving end. Not knowing the upper source is the devil. The devil if any is often man himself.
The men of any temple who know not the basic original message of the lord saint of that temple will end up bedeviling the temple. That has come to past and will ever occur again in temples.
This will make the mission undertaken by the lord saint Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 ever more challenging. How can we blame the flower for insects coming to it for nectar?
Such men who bring a temple to its knees are the very ones God and saints want to reach out to. What better place than in a temple of a lord saint? As said before, the good lord says that the far may be near and the near far.
As more time lapsed, what would we expect? Many would say that the teachings were not from the saint. Given enough time, a compassionate and loving saint would be portrayed as someone who meant bossiness and a firm enforcer of sorts.
