The Whole Mission

20 November 2023

There are no secrets. There are only a lot of wrong questions.

You'll notice that in the latest Radix Fidem Bible lesson it almost appears that Paul is dodging the sarcastic questions. It's not because they are sarcastic. The questions are inherently false, sarcasm or not. The answers are not available to flesh.

And if your spirit is working in your heart, then you will not ask those questions. You would know better. Those questions completely miss the point. That's the essence of Paul's answer. Those questions reflect an attempt by the flesh to seize control of God and His spiritual power. It's the Lust of the Eyes in action.

Paul says that flesh cannot be redeemed. Fine point here: Your life can be partially redeemed, only insofar as you dedicate it to Christ and His glory. But the flesh is doomed, and you should have no doubts about that. It's just a question of how and when.

I'm calling you to faith; it's just an echo of what Christ has already said. There is no uniform calling and mission. That's not my job. That's something only your convictions can answer. I'll gladly tell you about my calling and declare something about how I arrive at the decisions I make, but you'll have to find your own way.

We aren't building a religion for each other, but for our individual selves. Radix Fidem is simply an approach to the task. Even Radix Fidem is just a specific path within a specific context. Once civilization is destroyed, that path must be redefined. If enough people really get themselves into the grip of faith, all the other issues can be answered as needed.

We don't have an agenda. It's just a matter of loving our Lord and His fellow servants. That's the whole mission.
