One of the most worrisome ideas in many different religious
thoughts is the notion of infallibility meaning that either someone or a group
of people are free from all error even if they commit an error it has no barren
on them due to their special position with God. My main concern is that this
notion of perfection is not found in any of the scriptures it most importantly
leads people away from the worship and admiration of the One God. It is a trick
of the lower self or the devil if you will to place an idol in front of All
Merciful Creator.
In reading the Tanakh, Gospels and Quran nowhere does God
declare anyone perfect, without sin or blemish this may seem hard to for many
Christians but even Jesus is not considered a perfect role model when he
himself says: Why do you call me good do you not know that it is God in Heaven
who is good? In fact throughout the Scriptures our Heavenly Father always calls
those deemed imperfect, flawed, hopeless, and in some cases not even liked
people to bare his message. Now some may want to argue that this is not so but
all the Prophets of God had some flaw one way or another. Some could barely
talk, others were womanizers, some cast offs but this is whom God calls because
they are the perfect example of Gods benevolence. God wants us to know that we
too can do what these men have done that they are not above us or out of reach.
They are picked precisely because they are marked by something.
This tells us a great deal about God in many ways the first
it tells us is that God wants all of us to harkens unto him regardless of
obstacles we place before ourselves, or that of society. He is calling the
entire world to enjoy this life and eternity so he sent imperfect messengers to
deliver his perfect message of repentance and of the consequences of our own
folly. For too long have people placed various teachers and organizations on
pedestals. For way too long have people believed that they needed someone or
something to go through to reach our Master of the Universe. These notions are
in direct contradiction of all the scriptures because people have bent them to
mean what they really were never meant to mean whether it be about sacrifice in
Ancient Israel, the meaning of Jesus life, death and teachings, and the life of
Muhammad who God says he is just a man who die like all other men die. None of
them were meant to be more than a delivery system for God to use and deliver
his Good News.
When we say or believe that someone or something is
infallible we are doing a disservice not only to ourselves, our children, our
colleges but we are doing a disservice to God because God wants us all to know
that he is Creator of all, Judge of all and in the hearts of all no exceptions.
When you raise someone or something else up believing you are less than you
robe yourself of the beauty and the calmness of our Father. His and it is Him
alone that can save us, illuminate us, guide us on the straight path no one
else, nothing else can. You can bless the angels, the prophets, say certain
prayers it is useless because they can do nothing for you except expose you on
the day of Judgment.
This concept
of a perfect being or intermediary is a left over ideal from those pagan times
that we must shed if we are to come into the fullness of God that is to have
Unity with God. That is what life is about Unity with God to be at peace with
our Father and with ourselves if you believe you cannot achieve this then you
are destroying your own soul.
All one needs to do is find a quiet place relax and open
themselves up to the channels of Heaven and you will feel His presence as you
have been guided to do so in your various scriptures. Do this and you will find
everlasting peace.
