With so much war, violence and crime plaguing humanity, how can a Christian, or anyone for that matter find peace?
Jesus most famous words, the sermon on the mount, are more relevant now than at any other point in human history.
In Matthew 5:9 we read (King James Version) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are the peacemakers. What does it mean to be a peacemaker? What is the difference between being a peacemaker and being peaceable?
Before giving my opinion, I would like to hear your thoughts.
Here is how the bible tells us how to be peacemakers,
Truth, love, equality, and oneness.
We are animals, beasts. We evolved from animals and the only thing that separates us is having a rational mind, a neocortex to find the truth, realize our purpose, realize the truth about ourselves. We must first sacrifice our animal nature, (not literal animals) but our carnality, our lower minds, dethrone ourselves and our egos, pride, and arrogance. Destroy our impure thoughts by separating from the mind and thoughts. Creating a pure mind, a pure tabernacle of God, the brain. The kingdom is "within." As Jesus said numerous times, "take no thought." The mind and heart must first become pure.
The 12 cranial nerves become aligned, we no longer live by sight, material, the physical world, our ego driven thoughts and desires, etc. We become a spiritual being.
The individual could only come to God in the way He prescribed, not our own ways. Through a purification process in the head.
The holy of holies is where the shekinah (glory of God) is. No ordinary person could enter. One must enter within themselves. Deny themselves. Gods special dwelling place for His people. . within ones brain and heart.
Becoming one, divine marriage between the two hemispheres of the brain, the uniting of the conscious and subconscious. That in turn, automatically makes the individual realize that all are one, we all have the same physical bodies, composed of blood, bones, brain, mind, dna, spirit, heart, etc. ,we all are conscious beings , we all live on the same earth, we all have the same universe, and so on.
Love.
Spreading love, truth, and peace.
