Marsh, we can't do this alone. We can't atone, nor redeemed what we have done, and what our nature is.
For this World in which we live, is one that has been handed over to evil, taking place in the Garden.
What was blemished and tainted in the beginning by a Man, can only be redeemed and restored by a man - a perfect man. Of which there was one..and only one.
And because of that Man (Jesus) the Son of God, we can now be restored to that place of glory that we once held. to walk and talk with God. To be righteous and upright and be able to come boldly into the Throne of Grace in our time of need. To be in right standing with God. That is what has been provided for us...but we need to accept it through [only] God's Son.
The Human spirit, being spiritual can attain spiritual levels and spiritual enlightenment. We were created in God's image and we strive to live in a spiritual relm. But in the end, and while we are here on earth, we must choose a spiritual overlord. Because we were created, we must have a spiritual Overlord. Our time on earth is the time that we choose that Lord....Spirituality without an Overlord, is like the stock market of February...there comes a time when March hits and it's all over.
Now if an Overlord is not chosen, One is still served, and the god if this world is the one that will be served. his fate is the lake of fire in the end.
