we perceive duality when the reality is really one

Some say that 1+1=2
In reality 1+1=1
Illusion creates duality!
"Procrastination" is the paradox that separates man from the realization of "Truth".

There are many paradoxes in life......but the absolute paradox is that IN THE END we will understand that the paradoxes were only in our mind.

Hello,
A paradox can be defined as a seeming contradiction.
The biggest one I see are those who believe in eternal security - once saved always saved!
Christ does say that I am the vine, you are the branches and you only get to the father by me. Also he says that he who believes in me will never die. Now from there he goes on repeatedly to say things like if you do not forgive your brother and even enemies, you will not be forgiven; he will ask you did you cloth me when I was naked, visit me in prison, welcome me as a stranger, visit me when I was sick, feed me when I was hungry and the list goes on to say that under duress if you deny his reality or existance he will deny you to God and, oh yes, do not forget about the sin against the Holy Spirit.
Now they say, if you are a con man or liar, the biggest risk you can take is to change your story. The way I see things, along with the majority of Christians is that there are built in requirements to achieve Jesus' promise for eternal life.
Saying praise Jesus; he is my savior and getting baptized is a first step but not all he requires. Living according to his teachings by trying to do good and avoiding sin, in toher words, works is a big part of the equation.
I am not afraid to take the risk here and say that if this eternal security were true then it proves that Jesus himself is a paradox and perhaps the greatest con man and liar in history since he is totally contradicting himself. Those who believe in eternal security and teach it are doing a great job in illustrating the Paradox.
Cheers,

If you cannot find (peace/joy/balance/serenity/strength, etc.) inside yourself, you'll never find it outside yourself.

That that is created with mind is illusion.
That that you cannot know until you know is reality.

Life comes through death.
"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." (Matt 16:25)
