I KEEP SAYING VALIDITY!
I keep using the term "validity" because, I want people to understand that spirituality comes with proof test. It is not some ethereal trip, out-of-body experience, or mind trick as some propose. It is real, connected with reality, and makes sense of our world. HOW CAN YOU REALLY VERIFY WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE?
This always seems to come up when I explain that spirituality needs verification. Understand that seeing is never the absolute for proving that something exist. Think of the air you breath, you can't see it without some special equipment, but you know it's there by how your body responds to it. You also know what happens when your body is without it. The same is true of spirituality. You can read a verse about it, if you like here.
SO, WHAT PROOF TEST?
You might have missed it from before. Have you every thought about the term "world-view?" If you are not living a spiritual life that makes sense of your world, you will find yourself living in contradiction, plain and simple. The proof test for spirituality is simply, can my view be verified as valid by giving answers to all of the primary questions of life without contradiction?
FOUR EASY QUESTIONS:
Here are four easy questions to test your world view.
- Where did I come from?
- What is the purpose?
- What is right and wrong?
- Where am I going?
Christianity is the only system that I have found that adequately and reasonably answers these four questions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny. These questions make sense of my world. Other systems invariably conflict or deny the questions altogether. Think about it, how does your view hold up? I would love to hear about it, whether you agree with me or not.
