The people asked Jesus what the works of God are. Read what Jesus replied in John 6:28,29:
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Who is the one God has sent? Jesus was metaphorically speaking about Himself.
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”Dude, Christ tell us all the time that He have a Father who is the King of the Heaven and that He sent Him here on Earth so He could sacrifice for our sins!
The meaning of the world Christ and all His parabolas and metaphors were about the Light. Because, He is the Light who is with in us. Let me remind you of something:
33Therefore Jesus said, "For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me. 34"You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come." 35So if Christ is the Light then we have to follow Him if we want to find our peace and salvation! And here how we would all look like when we completely connect with HIM:
" Listen, I tell you a mystery: we will not all Sleep, but we will all be Changed — in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. I Corinthians 15:51 "Hey, thanks, man.
Hey, you are leaving so soon?
We are having debate here about something that we both have read it and my point is... You should give chance to the Yoga and Meditation and read some experience from people who are practicing this thing.
Here, watch this guy and tell what you think:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojk8mvfkSosWe are having a debate? I didn't realize. Sorry.
I'm not into Yoga. The time Western Yoga takes is simply not what I have. The religious aspects of Eastern Yoga are something that I don't need and am not interested in.
I meditate a lot on the Bible. Of course, meditation with reference to Bible meditation, is not that same as Yoga meditation.
Regarding the video, this is what you mean by consciousness, then. In the Bible, God does not want people to focus on this kind of consciousness, except in the ways that He explains in the Bible, prayer to God, and meditation on the words of the Bible. Why does God want this? Here's why.
Eve in the Garden is a good example. Eve had perfection. In that perfection, she was able to use spirituality and consciousness that we can only dream about. Why? Because she was a perfect being, having the natural control of these things in herself.
What happened to Eve? She was tempted by the devil in the form of a serpent. She couldn't resist the temptation, and she fell out of perfection. Our imperfection is the result.
Further, the Great Flood of Noah's day was God's response to millions of people who used meditation and spirituality incorrectly. Why did they use it incorrectly? Because they were not perfect, being descendants of Eve... even though they were far closer to perfection than any of us today.
The point? We are not able to use spirituality and consciousness any better than Eve or the millions who died in the Great Flood because of their wickedness. We would simply fall into greater imperfection and wickedness by using it, even as it is found in Yoga meditation.
There is one way, and one way only, to use spirituality and consciousness correctly. It is through the words of the Bible, according to the clear and simple directions given in the Bible. This is the only way that it is beneficial for us.
The Bible does not express the things of Yoga light metaphorically. Bible light has to do with Jesus salvation. If Yoga light has to do with Jesus salvation, it is only in a very unclear way. Yoga tends to an imperfection that was similar to that of the peoples before the time of the Great Flood.
However, you are making a good point. With the spread of Yoga light and such, to the people of God in the West, we can see that the return of Jesus will be soon. Matthew 24:36-39, Jesus speaking:
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
