Reference in series 2: It is God's will
What God and the lord saint decide, let no man put
aside. It would take man with self-righteousness and finite regard for the
lord saint to do so. Such self-righteousness is to be expected of men at
times and the flower should not be blamed for insects coming to it. Elder Ling
and Mission Hiccups
These are what men should not put aside;-
The religions and the sects. Let not men say that theirs are right and others are not. It is God's will that there must be more than one religion and sect. They may appear different and at times at odds. They appeal to vast majority of beings and are stepping stones for all beings to be on the path to be with God.
It is God's will that even in a temple, those who are far from spiritual are given the chance to make good. Though religious in their own way, they may even orientate the temple more for their social and individual agenda. They may even connive to orientate the temple for their secondary gains, conceal their secondary aims or agenda and still put the front that they are better men of God and consign the more arduously spiritual men of God to oblivion of sorts by ensuring they have less say.
They may even give honorary memberships and titles to such men who are pioneers and elders so that such men of God have less say and roles.
God does not consider such men who connive, conceal and consign as transgressors but as those who need to learn and so long as there is some spirituality in them which they would invariably be not short off, they should be welcome to the house of God and saints.
So the more arduously spiritual men of God cannot say that a temple is not for men with conniving, concealing and consigning ways. It is God's will that insects can come to a flower for nectar as Lord Bo Tien had said.
It is God's will that we learn from life and these basically good men too must be given opportunities to learn. So all the more goody two shoes, please do not cry foul and say why God allows such less spiritually attuned good men to take over and run a temple.
Men who are better in doctrine and closer to God should not ask why God allow a temple or place of worship to be run over by otherwise good men of lesser spiritual attributes for such men too need to learn to be more good by whatever way. It is God's will.
They too are concerns of God and men who are better in the know and closer to God must not put them aside when God allows them to be inside a temple or place of worship. They have every right to be in a temple or holy premise.
It is because the majority of men who come to a temple or place of worship are likely to come for social agenda and likely to be less spiritually attuned, that in any temple or place of worship, there must be dual key systems of management with an administrative body or committee chosen by the majority and a council of elders who can override the excesses of the administrative body and yet the council has no say in the administration.
Then there will be yin yang balance with neither (1) runaway from spiritual to social agenda which is the way of most good men, nor (2) overplay of spiritual agenda that will put off those who are not ready or spiritually inclined.
The council of elders is a must in any temple or place of worship and it must co-exist with the administrative body of that temple or place of worship.
Cheers be to all men who in the eyes of God are good but can of course be better in goodness
