The Apostle Paul, in sharp contrast to the predominant Judaic belief of his day that human gained acceptance from God by habitual obedience to His Law, affirmed Grace as God's gift of unmerited, free, and natural love for sinful man. Paul's declaration is an important part of the Christian faith.
However the theological precepts of Eve's Simple Realities affirm that if you want to be a living symbiont of the Living God and share the magnificent gift of Symbiotic Grace from our Symbiotic God, you first must accept the belief that Symbiotic Grace is not free; You must earn it.
Our failure to understand this will yield us nothing except estrangement from God, the pain and fear that accompany estrangement from God, and a continuing suicidal confluence of repulsive behavior resulting in the extinction of our species.
We cannot share Symbiotic Intimacy with God by passively accepting God's natural grace, which, as the Apostle Paul declares is free to all men, even sinful uncivil men. We surely cannot share harmonious intimacy with God by displeasing Him.
If you want to share harmonious intimacy with God and receive the rewards of Symbiotic Grace that harmonious symbiosis gives us, we must exercise behavior our Creator requires of us to receive His Symbiotic Gifts and rewards. Otherwise we live a barren life. If this is true, then how do we know what our creator requires?
Apparently, God chose not to let us grope with moral ambiguity while exercising free will. To the contrary, our creator chose to provide us with a conscience aided by our genetic memories to guide our morallity. God's moral realities are evident to most of His human creations.
But, because of our defective design and the accompanying psychological maladies arising out of our existence in human flesh, we often ignore them or rationalize them out of behavioral existence. We especially see this in political, religious, and personal examples of lies, division, strife and greed, and acts of treason and atrocieties--much of which are done in the name of God.
But most of us understand God's moral code up to the point that corrupted ancestral memories, greed, and contemporary political and religious division make us so angry, tormented, self-centered, or morally bankrupt that only unveiled hate, meaness, silliness and absurdity, and seductive decadence seem right.
The Ten Commandments offers a quintessential code of human behavior. According to the 20th chapter in the biblical book of Exodus, it is the law God gave us. If our species governed our lives by the verses commanding us to not kill, commit adultry, steal, bear false witness against our neighbor, nor covet our neighbor's house, his wife, his ox, or anything that is our neighbor's; the social and political pestilence that infest the children of Eve's Garden would be virtuall be non-existent.
Individually and collectively, however, some of us persist in violating some and all of the commandments while simultaneously demanding that everyone else obey them. This behavior cannot please God. God is pleased when we live a life guided by the Ten Commandments.
However, living our lives by the five commandments cited above and the five preceding them in the book of Exodus is not all we have to do if the human species is to survive and serve as intimate symbiont of living flesh for our Symbiotic God.
God's intimate gift of Symbiotic Grace requires more of us than is evident in the Ten Commandments and the prolific enactment of civil laws and criminal laws designed to bring order to the social chaos, lack of honor, lack of integrity, and lack of civility that permeate human history.
Eve's Simple Realities embody the other behaviors God requires us to exhibit if we want to become His blessed symbionts. They define conduct that holds up our end of the symbiotic relationship we must share with God on our experimental side of creation if we want our ancestral line to serve as productive symbionts to Him.
Our social and spiritual behaviors either help us form a symbiotic bond with Creation and give us the the rewards of Symbiotic Grace or our spiritual and social behaviors estrange us from God and promote the discord and downward spiral to extinction His Absence produces.
