The Divine Plan

The Divine Plan: Fundamental to understanding the scriptures is comprehending the Divine Plan of God.

Without grasping the key elements of this perspective, the mystery of God manifesting himself through Christ is blocked from view. Because this simple concept has been obscured by uninspired tenets of religion, by unscriptural traditions, and by mystical inventions of men, far too many are confused as to what God's purpose for the human race is. Consequently, the pieces of the religious puzzle do not fit completely together. Many key elements are well understood, but a broad and clear perspective of God's work is sadly lacking. Among the reknown and highly published, even serious errors are widely communicated, received and cannonized as fundamental principles of Christian dogma. This is not intentional, of course, nor do we here belittle or accuse anybody. But misunderstanding hinders each one's entrance into greater illumination.

It is not from contempt or arrogance that we point this out, rather we offer this as an explanation as to how we all, as dedicated students of the scriptures, may so easily make such drastic mistakes about simple biblical truthes. And, modifying these views are sometimes more difficult than arriving at completely new understanding; because it is human nature to protect one's territory, to become defensive, or even arrogant and stubborn in resisting growth. To refuse enlightenment, however, is to welcome ignorance and stagnation. The adversary's method is to complicate the simple truth and to blind the wise with high-minded mistakes; but the Holy Spirit, which Jesus has given us, is continuously leading us out of misunderstanding into the light of revelation.

Therefore, our posture should be as fellow travelers, endeavoring to learn, willing to be led by the Spirit, in dialogue with one anaother, so that together, we might grow and mature.

Thus, we claim nothing superior of ourselves, but rather we want to share what perhaps unique things God has graciously shown us, and to have a conversation with others who share interest in the topic. We think we have been blessed to have some insights into this simple approach to God's Plan and his etenal purpose, yet of course, we recognize that also others have valid understanding, as well. So, let's reason together. In this website, we present our perspectives, but we will not demonize anyone else for having differet views. This is our effort to present our testimony, as we believe God would have us to put forth for the benefit of others. Please bear patiently with us as we attempt to present some of what we think are amazing points, that will contribute helping us all to attaining a truly scriptural perspective of the Divine Plan. May God help us to do just that!
