HINT: The solution does not endure in either extreme. | | |
| Loving Independence
Ah, the quality of boundlessness
To think as I choose
To say as I choose
To act as I choose
Not…because we all gotta serve somebody
Ah, the state of responsibility
To serve the utmost
To respect the utmost
To love with the utmost
Not…that is, unless it's reciprocated
Ah, setting the condition of balance
To think carefully before choosing the utmost
To speak carefully before serving the utmost
To act carefully, truly respecting the utmost
Yes…this is love, and it’s not for free...despite the popular demand

However, as the lengthy 2,000 years of Christian history transpired, the New Testament gospel undeniably became more focused upon the hereafter. That caused countless numbers of people who focused on the here and now to reject Christianity as it is today. As a result, Christianity became a religion that applied more to those who were old and close to death.
It was not like that at Jesus’ time. This is to say that the kingdom of God (was) is achievable in the present.
Thus, today’s Christianity (e.g.…Greek Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant…) became a religion that largely revolves around old people. This in no way means to suggest that old people are inconsequential, as all of humanity unavoidably fits under the category of “old people.” Rather, this is merely to say that…for God’s kingdom to be fulfilled on the earth in the here and now, young people must be the cornerstone upon whom the Spirit of Christ stands.

| Words of Salvation
For all the religions in the world, the biggest and the most urgent issue at hand is the issue of salvation. If there were no such thing as salvation, no one would live lives of faith. When the word salvation is mentioned, people immediately think of the spiritual salvation (hence...the goal line at every NFL game or the bottom of an In N Out Burger cup - - SO CAL ppl will know what I’m talking about). And in this way, the majority of the religions in the world value the hereafter more than they value this present life.
The truth is the spirit receives salvation through saving the body. {1 Thess 5:23}
Therefore, if the body dies, the spirit cannot be properly saved. This is why saving the body is the most urgent matter for those who have physical bodies. Saving the body means to pull the body out of the life of the domain of death (e.g. link provides one Scriptural example). In other words, when we live thinking absolutely according to the will of God and the Messiah, the life we live in the body will prosper (first and foremost, in terms of character, in terms of action, in terms of the realities of one’s life - - according to the will of God).
Jesus saved the body so that the spirit {the individual’s spirit} would be saved. To do that, he taught the word of God, and he instructed people to act on them.
