a popular topic this year in 2012 is going to be ascension and what it means and is it part of religion or religious beliefs, for me ascension should be more to a individual and how they find there way in the world, rather then a defined event at some defined date.
i think ascension is more a personal thing for each individual and something you live through your daily activities and finding what suits you in your life and your religious beliefs.
ascension is not something to be forced or chased, it is something i would put in to the same bracket as just growing and learning as you do in life, whereas a lot of people have a belief of ascension being something they can make happen.
whereas they would be better letting god control there lifes more then anything, and being more open minded then closed minded to the world and there beliefs, while letting other people have there own religious beliefs.
i do not think there is any specific date of ascension for anyone, jesus christ said himself "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
this would mean there is no specific ascension 2012 date or day or time and your spiritual life is your own journey planned by god.
the reason i think there is no ascension date is due to the quote from the bible where jesus says in Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father". this is what jesus christ said about ascension in the bible, only god knows if 2012 is real.
this christian passage describes ascension and says no one knows date of each persons ascension this means ascension is a personal event and not a group event it only happens to the individual and not groups of individuals, but to the person by themselves, as said by jesus christ in the bible.
In the passage quoted from Matthew 24:36, Jesus is specifically telling when the Son of Man (his title for himself) returns to earth "in great power and glory". It does not refer to individual ascension, but rather to Judgement Day, aka Doomsday.
ReplyDeletesomething like what bananafan says, well that could be what the religions are hinting at, we also have to remember these religions have come with authority behind them, i do not think that jesus is a man though, for example god is not a human and jesus is like god, so jesus is not a human, i think jesus is more of divine design, whereas humans are made from clay, yet have the spirit breathed into them?, and are asked to try and make themselves like jesus or to be prepared to be made like jesus or the son of man, all in good time.
