Jesus taught that the Kingdom of Heaven was within persons, and
so
the Virtue Matrix is extended as people embrace it, or rather are embraced
by it. the Virtue Matrix is an all or nothing experience, you do not
experience the Virtue Matrix just because you like or exhibit some
particular virtues. You experience the Virtue Matrix only in the
absence of all vices and presence of all virtues, which is a symptom
of the Kingdom of God. Bodily healing and the casting out of
demons are another symptom (the Kingdom of God 'has come near'). This is humanly impossible to achieve, and hence the Kingdom of
God is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It is given to us not earned
(little flock it is the Fathers good pleasure to give you the
Kingdom) This necessitates teaching initiates that the Virtue Matrix has to do
with being good beyond the human capacity to be good. Being
good is a symptom of the experience of the Virtue Matrix. ie a
person has no interest in vice, and allows the Holy Spirit to do His
own work of holiness, rather than achieving sinlessness under a
person's own steam. The central tenet of the Virtue Matrix is forgiveness.
Forgiveness is only achievable because of Christs work. The
forgiveness of God wipes out all debt that would keep a person from
the Virtue Matrix. Forgiveness is so vital, that without forgiving others, a person
keeps themself from the Virtue Matrix. Experiencing and embracing God's
forgiveness of ones defilement by vice positions a person for
immediate entry into the realm. Even a heavily defiled person can enter the Virtue Matrix freely on
forgiveness of their defilement. A self-righteous and
unforgiving person on the other hand is excluded from the grid. |
