Every human being, including Christians and unbelievers alike, are to a greater or lesser degree unconsciously trapped a ‘personal mythology’ regarding God and themselves!
Myths are imaginary and unproven collective ideas, beliefs and fictitious stories, based on legends and tradition. These mostly untested concepts are invented to justify ourselves, and designed to explain and give meaning to the mysterious dimensions of life.
Most our ‘personal mythology’ consists of a mixed ‘fruit salad’ consisting of an intermingling and blending together into one mass of various ingredients.Who am I?
These consists of fear filled superstitions, fables, erroneous beliefs, personal subjective experience, cultural influence, denominational conjecture and religious dogma based on the Bible and the opinions of men etc. etc.For instance, for most of us our inherited opinion is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, had to come Adam’s world, into the mess Adam made, and attempt to build a faith bridge back to God!
A bridge we have to somehow find during our lifetime and successfully cross, or alternatively God will dump us into ‘hell’, to be tormented eternally!The eternal fact is that Adam came into Christ’s world!The eternal fact is that we were saved in Christ even before we fell in Adam!Untwisting and unravelling our familiar and deeply held, and cherished misconceptions, in order to dig through to the bedrock of ‘truth’ or ‘reality’, that actually came through Jesus Christ is not easy and often most painful.Yet, not unlike a Tiger caught in a fatal trap, we sometimes have to chew off our own leg, in order to rescue our very existence from life’s traps!A good place to commence in exposing our ‘personal mythology’ is to get a clear perspective on and to begin to recognise the distinction between‘Objective’ and ‘Subjective’ spiritual realities.The following audio teaching’s could prove helpful.‘The Objective and Subjective Spiritually Reality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!’Then to ask the question; “Who is Jesus Christ”, and what did the Triune God accomplished through Jesus for and on behalf mankind, and therefore of you personally”‘Jesus Christ, the Master Key to unlocking the Mystery of the Bible.’Session 1Session 2
