Today (8/20/08) I received a message from a young lady in reference to my posting of “Understanding other's interaction with your Path”. I’ve posted a couple of my blogs on other websites. After answering the questions, I thought this would be a good chance to further reveal (in summary), some underlying principles concerning Faith in Jesus, our relationship, and my Duty within Kingdom Wealth Creation. Below is a copy of that dialog….

Subject: Hi
Hey J, great blog on understanding your path. Can I ask what you feel your purpose is for being here and what is God?s purpose for mankind in general? Do you believe that all religious paths lead to the same God and if not, how do we know the one we are on is the right one?
Thanks,
B
My Response:
Hey B. Thanks.
Well, the answers to your questions can obviously get very detailed, but in the interest of time I am going to try to summarize real quick.
My Purpose:
What is My Duty?
1. To give to the people of God
a. Better understanding of relationship with Him
b. To move them to a place of blessing by understanding:
Faith, Duty, Relationship, etc.
c. Knowledge and understanding
2. To establish the ‘Programs’ of the Kingdom that will take care of and prosper God’s people
If you'd like to know more go to my blog:

It’s a mix of information, but if you look at the bottom, you'll see more of what I'm about.
Purpose for mankind:
There are different angles to take on the subject depending on how you are really asking the question and without digging into Scripture….
In the bigger picture man is playing a smaller role in a larger story, but sense we tend to wrap everything around us being that we ‘think’ and have intelligence, its about us first. But I submit that the story is about a relationship between the power of God over lucifier (who thought he could be equal to God), to prove to him He (God) is the almighty and no equal; AND a story of a relationship between God and His Son. Our role is to choose the path that only truly comes through Faith in what script God wrote. That God had the power to do what He did in the way He did it… using Jesus. That Jesus would perform His Duty and respect Gods path for Himself even when He (Jesus) had the power to do it differently. And such is the free will we have to choose as well….
And FYI… if you review my purpose at this point, you will understand that it’s not my mission to convince the world of these facts. I believe everyone should believe whatever he or she believes, but KNOW why he or she believes it, and understand it, and be sure of it. If it (the thing they believe) were really true then why should anyone get mad at another for not believing (the mistake Religious people make)? If it’s TRUE then the reaction should be relief that what you know is truth, you have that truth IN you, and you are more than happy to share it with anyone that wants to know. Thus, my Duty #1 summarized another way from above is to make sure the people that already claim Christ Jesus as the way the truth and the life, actually understand why they believe what they believe, so they can be SURE of what they ‘say’ they believe. As well, for them to truly commit to God and understand their relationship with Him, who they are, their purpose, and fulfill their Duty on earth. All of this is supported and helped by MY Duty #1. Then My Duty #2 is to further their existence in the Kingdom on earth, and in doing so the whole earth prospers. (long story short)
Paths to God:
No, only one path to God and that is through Jesus Christ and everything it means to ‘believe’.
How do we know:
I'll tell you how I know....
Background: I didn't grow up in the 'church', but grow up like most blacks with a quasi-understanding that I guess I was suppose to be a Christian... lol. But no reinforcing or anything- just associated by default that came from a history they tore our people from their roots of religion back in Africa and the Islands (slavery actually saved a race and established them to prosper in the freest, most prosperous place on earth- go figure). And I’m glad because my path to God was pure and untainted. I had to find Him and draw closer without being convinced by others. I had to find Him through all my dismay and lack of understanding. I’ve had/have to keep hold of Him through all my inabilities, faults, and unworthiness.
But to get to the point...
I took the better part of a year and studied all the ‘major religions' about 10yrs ago. Studied their history plainly- not their disciplines and from that I determined....
#1 Logically:
Only one "religion" proved itself to be True... all of them except 'Christianity' came from one source... some man created them all... and logically it doesn't make sense that some dude can disappear for a minute and come back saying he has everything that God ever wanted people to know- therefore follow him.... HUH??? are you serious... just doesn't make any logical sense.... there are no checks and balances there. You are essentially putting all your trust in one man that what he said hundreds or thousands of years ago is going to get you to ‘heaven’ or God.
#2 Historically:
Again- check the history behind the stories....
The Bible- written over 1600 yrs- 39 authors - 66 books that all come together to form one concise message.
Look at the history on everything else- where did THE SOURCE of the info come from?? As well, multiple copies of the "books" in the bible found in multiple places around the world- checks and balances- they all match up
#3 Spiritually:
I've experienced God for myself in multiple ways through Faith in Jesus.
I hope this answers your questions. So, what do you believe about the questions you asked me? What is your take on the situation?? Can you answer the same questions for me? Thanks- J.
Oh yeah…. I’m detail oriented soooooo… what I consider “real quick” is not so real quick…. Lol. Take care-J
