Our Human Potential

Human potential is huge if you look at Adapa’s ability to “break the wings” of the South Wind. Human’s are given such potential by God to parricipate in future development of creafion. Yet it is by following Christ that a person can best be propelled towards that potential. Christ who displayed such ability in calming a storm by spoken word. Spoken word will be how He will defeat the Beast and restore kind righteousness. Righteousness and faith meet in His actions which are always according to God’s pleasure and formed in Him by God’s providence. So the idea we can achieve potential without Abrahamic religions might be theoretically feasible but in practice is unrealistic and dangerous. He teaches “anyone who believes in me will do what I am doing” and “if anyone had faith and does not doubt in his heart he can say to this mountain ‘move and throw yourself in the sea’ it will be done”. His teaching and the way He Himself practices what He teaches enables us to be as Adapa was and Christ was. So nature will adapt to such faith being part of its future as more of us speak to it and it obeys and its future is forged by God working in Christ and Christ working in us. Other winds will have their wings broken. In the will of God. Neitzsche saw this and saw the dangers too since when we sit on the roof with Christ and command nature with Him we are in danger of falling off the roof into madness like Nietzsche fell into it. We cannot do anything without Christ but can do so so much with Him. We can walk on water in a storm but sink if we doubt and another danger is forgetting righteous kindness that He shows in His weillding of faith power. He was weak like us and weakness and proneness to madness and wickedness is our baggage we carry with us. He has now lost that weakness but was perfected with it. He guides us forward. We can partake in God’s nature through Him and become sons of God in the loss of ability to sin. We will stop sinning permanently by following Him into all truth and freedom from sin.
