Absolute Look⑥ Water at John, Ⅱ

Beforehand, I wrote that Calvin's theory and belief had contradiction. That thing is caused from his strong claim to predestination in Christian theology. To this idea, very brightened idea holders are so many, I believe, then I'd never explain so much, but this idea is not majority at now world, never yet since Medieval eras, but Jean Calvin took that idea.


Then, first I dare to defend his theory, for securing religious belief's identity, because now our world must be at just no wander running around progress of technology and capitalism economic currency circulation race at world and people have no mind room to think of praying, believing true universal love and everlasting believing mind.


First, Calvin's predestination in rigid idea must have an effect to the ones who suffer from so serious adversity, rather at the idea anybody could be rescued so much, because very many people die and never rescured by anything, then in front of that reality, rather anybody's possibility to be helped and kept heaven life must never be persuasive. 
Certainly our future and our reality of now could be reformed to some extent, but even these fruit must never be so perfect and anybody must die someday in future.


There, we must have some idea, that like Calvin, if all things done to us could be already decided by God, our mind could have ease, that nature must exist to us, obviously.
And that notion and idea must have some stable effect to our mind that anything could be possible to happen, but to anything we must have nothing but the only choice to confront it by ourselves, then if we stand at mind's holding moralistic stance, we should have a mind to accept everything done to us externally in this world, at this view predestination either has so steady healing effect to very despaired ones actulally.


Meanwhile, I have an idea that God must have had just once the absolute initial setting to all things in this universe, it must be that anything could carry on by each thing, but that all sequel must be unidentified previously. And why I think so originates in my another idea. That is, if God is omnipotent, He must have never the idea that once decided thing by Him could be the perfect world, because He must be so universally the best intellectual One, then he ought never have that so cheaper idea, and everything as occurence in this universe should be left to only time as the very everlasting at having no cease, in other words, He must have chose only the way to leave everything to externally realized phenomena with each phenomenon, namely he must have believed the power even He could never picture on His mind, if truly omnipotent God of universe is so great, He must have had believed so, I have that conviction to Him.
Then, consequently, the idea of Jean Calvin could be explicated as his desicive mind to fulfill peaceful keeping of his church activity with very tough starving and ruined social situation. Then he dared to practice and exexcute so defiant reformative policy at managing church activity including execution toward Michel Servet (French spelling)or so.


Medieval eras' age circumstance and now are each very gapped, but at the matter of fact even either contemporary society has so similar circumstance on the other hand of abstract debate around religion, but that thing should be left to another theme sentences to me, for the present.


This time, at conclusion, from John, subsequently from fore ⑤, water as alegory in New Testament, let's try to pick up its essential claim of the Bible. So Lord Jesus Is not universe's Creator, He is just God for people, hence He is ethical God, that thing is described at John's very integral part for sickened one at Sabath. 


The sick man answered him,"Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."
Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."
And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
And that day was the Sabbath....._A Man Healed at the Pool of Betheda



Finally, Jesus was very regarded as suspicious to the people of Jew with percecution to Him to be killed. These serial His act means so ethically correct and just idea, that must be beyond even conventional rule or so. By the way contemporary phenomenology philosopher Michael Henri was claiming that love should be preceded than law. That idea must originate in jesus's these serial acts to people.


"If we take them all into account for knowing Jesus's absolute look for people, subsequently shown Calvin's sentences' meaning must be seen so clearely to us.


I will repeat what I'd said beforehand. It is that what Paul regarded ceremony as shadow did not mean that these things had no any reliable thing, just its complition since Jesus appeared must have had been withheld. And I say next. This is not debated thing for ceremonial effect, rather about showing way. Because since Christ was appearing as flesh, even He made His power to make his advent to the believers tangibly, nevertheless Old Testament's any shown thing was nothing but only just there absent His shadow.


How could we be astonished to the fact if it could be the matter severed from Jesus as ceremony losing its power od anything? 


The first, if Moses' Torar holding all ceremonial tool stand could not resut Jesus Christ, all things of these must be vanished." 25


Eventually, calvin claimed at these parts with his defiant Typological intepretation, and his very orthodix Biblical idea and his reformative ideology had either so confused cotradictory combination, and in terms of Bible intepretation, he adopted so conventional idea around predestination, and its fact guids us to deliberate how we should regard or deal with practically all the most suitable conclusion around our questuinable issue holding mind.
