LIVING LIFE SERIES 1

A BO TIEN (武天) MISSION INITIATIVE LAUNCHED ON 28TH SEPT 2010 BY INNER TRUTH NETIZEN 2. THE MISSION IS TO SHOW THE WAY TO HOPE, INNER PEACE AND ULTIMATELY SALVATION FOR ALL BEINGS. THE PURPOSE IS TO SAVE SOULS. IT IS WAY BEYOND NORMAL GOOD WORK LIKE CHARITY AND WELFARE ACTIVITIES. NO ONE SHALL BE SAVED BY GOOD WORKS ALONE BUT BY MORE THAN GOOD WORK. THERE IS NEED TO BE IMBUED WITH THE BASIC DOCTRINE COMMON TO AND BEHIND ALL RELIGIONS AND SECTS. LIVE IN DOCTRINE. DOCTRINE IN LIFE IS PARAMOUNT.

.

The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨). The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affiliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. Needless to say that all the saints we know are in this temple. Ji Gong Posat too is no exception. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven. We worship God and saints, not man however good that man may be. There should be no hero worshiping or idolizing of man whether he is a charismatic pastor, priest, monk, medium or lay leader. We don't even idol worship the image of any saint but reflect on what the image stands for. - the doctrine in the image. Omitofo 阿弥陀佛!.

Jesus is for all men

No 408 of Living Life Series 1

Who ever says there is no enlightenment in Christianity will be mistaken. "Why? " you may ask.

Just look at the man Jesus. He is no ordinary man but the God in man. He is ever so peaceful. He moved around the meek and downtrodden. He offered hope to them and brought them peace that even those with more could not have.

Jesus did not commit any crime

Even at the cross, he was peaceful and thoughtful of the criminals on the crosses beside him. Even though mocked as a criminal and condemned to the cross, he had no ill will towards his detractors, prosecutors and their henchmen. He had only love and forgiveness for them who wanted him tortured, tormented and dead.

Surely such a person was and is no ordinary man, not just man but beyond what a man could be. He was then above many many men but yet he was man. He was divine and yet still man. He was of flesh and blood. Blood oozed out of the nail holes from his palms.

Who would not be won over by him except those who have no heart or who are not true at heart.

After crucifixion, he was lowered down and left in a tomb as dead and lifeless But he rose on the third day, ascended and went up the mountain. He still bore the marks of the nails that pierced his palms. There was no mistake about that.

His followers vouched that he rose from the dead but be this true or not, one fact remains true to this day. There is no doubt he was seen on the third day and there were wounds with blood in his palms. That he could walk tall and exuded serenity soon after being nailed and left for dead was a wonder of the times and remained as awesome as ever even today. This amazes and injects wonder and lights up the spirit and souls of men to this day.

He was made to die but did not. He not only lived on but liven up the lives of men then and even till today. He is as wondrous and awesome beyond what men could be. Surely he is divine and more than man. His divinity is as good as the highest in the heavens. He is God or beside God, like the saints and prophets of God in the various religions and sects of the day.

Some think he is Buddha reincarnated

To Buddhists and Taoists, he is the accomplished one - a posat or Buddha To Christians, he is more than that. He is God. What matters is that he has heart to win over men and bring them to God. He is Man. He is God. He is the embodiment of the spirit or goodness of Heaven. This his followers refer to as the Holy Spirit.

He has a place for everyone in his heart. He wants you to let him be in your heart. That is the greatness and love that are as vast as the ocean that reaches out to many men and many shores, that reaches not only to Christians but also to those who are not.

God, Christ and saints

What matters is not the branding but that men are won over by him - the one and only Jesus Christ. Let not men divide men as Christians and non Christians but as one in God, Christ and saints regardless of religion, sect or affiliation.

Lord Bo Tien

This post is consistent with the inner truth doctrine of Lord Bo Tien that we can reach God in any religion and that we respect all saints. God provides for not one religion or saint but many. It is the zest and passion of adherents of religion or sect that tries to make their sect or religion exclusive.

One can learn more of God through other saints or religions and this will in turn make them better off in whatever religion they may be in. The love of Jesus is magnificent and awesome and adherents of any religion or sect will agree. Even when subjected to the throes of pain on the cross and verbal torment, his love for men was unwavering.

Universal love for life is central to being God-centric and the love demonstrated by Jesus will definitely augment the spiritual grasp and development of any man regardless of their religious affiliation.

His love was awesome, unsurpassed and unparalleled in the history of man and even when cowed by the mighty Roman lords, he stood his ground. He would rather face torture and torment on the cross than to sell away his values and principles.

All these for the love of men, so that they would know what true love is and so that they would taste the love of God. He is after all son of God, not just son of man.

The king of the land might be able to crucify his body but no way could his love of men be crucified or stifled. The embodiment of love of God in Christ Jesus the lord is beyond crucifixion.

The gift of God in Jesus is for all men and not the purview of designated men - the pharisees or elitists among men. Thank God, this is not the case.

Lest you forget

Do not make the mistake of idolizing any man who tells you about the Word. He is in the same boat as you even if religion refers to him as a religious leader. Mere mention of a religious leader is as good as encouraging idolising of that man. Why must there be hierarchy in religion? Hierarchy is conventional but may end up as liability rather than a necessity or asset. There should be no caste or hierarchy system in religion. No one is to be considered above another in religion. A religious leader or follower is a servant to serve you and not a leader to be idolised. Do not put him on the pedestal and make a monster out of him.

MAY ALL BE WELL AND HAPPY

May all be well and happy. May they have peace. May our departed friends and kins be well, happy and have divine peace. The main writer wishes the best for all for those near and far. Our kins may be far when they had passed on to better lives but they are near though far. He remembers and wishes his parents Mr Siow Soo Koh and Mdm Tay Hung Siang, his uncles and aunties like Mr Tay Koon Huay, his cousins like Mr Tay Chong Sim and his friends like Mr Philip Png well and have abundance of life. May they be rich in spirit for without such ancestors, there will be no posterity - no us and no you and me. They have blessed us and we must blessed them in return forever and ever.
