Only some make it but doctrine is always for all

Learning Point No 210

Even with the best of spiritual endeavours and environment, many at a temple or church may falter and only some can make it but Heaven will never give up and will repeatedly reach out to the many even those who are colorful.

The far may be near and dear to God and saints but men may question the wisdom of God and think that this should not be.  Men will often think that colorful characters should not be at a temple or church. This however is man's view and not God's view.

The excerpts from 1976 and 1983 messages will provide the understanding. 

 

In 1976, the emissary of Lord Bo Tien elaborate on this. "The Lord Saint shares and reiterates that not all who though blessed enough to listen to doctrine would necessarily benefit and turn good. There is no certainty and predictability of outcome. There is invariably individual choice, effort and decision. Men are not perfect, do have free will to choose, do have weak moments and can make mistakes. They may fall and falter despite the best divine intention, repeated efforts and intervention. But His grace is heartened that there will still be those who can understand and who will turn good. They will be rewarded. Heaven will persist time and again to reach out to those who may falter. They will not be left behind and be left on the side line. This is the eternal and infinite love and compassion by divine Heaven for all beings." Lord Bo Tien's 1976 Anniversary Message
 

In 1983, the lord saint said, "Even Lord Buddha's teachings are not exclusive to the more good but are for all whether good or not and regardless of their personalities, status, job, or background. This is the heavenly perspective that doctrine is for all and not reserved for or the enclave of any group . Whoever finds fault with a temple for having colorful people within its rank will effectively be finding fault with the helicopter wisdom and prerogative of Heaven."
