No lesson, needs be learned ad infinitum; no Evolution, needs be engaged ad differens

Hi there,

There is no lesson, that needs be learned ad infinitum
There is no evolution, that needs be engaged ad differens
In other words, you don't get to Heaven and get told "there is one more lesson, that you absolutely must learn. Neither do you find a place on Earth, where you realise that you absolutely must evolve further. Learning as a Man or engaging in an evolutionary way are neutral to the contexts in which they apply. There is an optimum interpretation of a lesson and a fortuitous angle of an evolution, but these are relative to the strength and difference in which each of them is learned or engaged, respectively.

Put simply, lessons are for learning, evolution is for attempting. If we can do these things constructively, we have honoured the spirit, in which they were offered - not as man pleasers, but as spirits before God, of one nature and another, fit for the purpose of declaring a variety of creations and their due ends. This inspires all Creation, that some are called for little and some are called for great - but all are Called. There is no evolution, that God sends to destruction, without the strength to sustain it; no teaching that God Creates that enslaves the learner to perdition. All are free, in their respective gathering, of kind, to their own ends.

It does not make sense, therefore, to say there is no incentive to evolve: for the more purely an evolution is engaged, the more effective it is, the more single-minded it's approach to the hunt becomes, and the more single-minded the hunt becomes, the more focussed its efforts on exceeding previous boundaries is able to be. Likewise, it does not make sense to say that the unlearned have no hope, for in learning, we approach knowledge and having acquired knowledge, we have relationship, and having relationship are able to discern, what is good on the left and on the right - how we might find our sustenance, without driving against the winds of change, which are wholly of God.

Thus we have an Evolution of Knowledge, in God, and a knowledge of evolution by God that combined are a freedom in God, and likewise a release in praise because of God that we not become our own prey but rather praise Him that all things are One, in Him. These things come together because of God. God is "more" evolved, because we may simply learn; what is 'more' is "most" because God makes it possible, simply to engage in praise, whatever change may take place in our worship over a lifetime and in things like it, that we commit our life to.

Mutation, is checked. Adaptation, is given a theme. Generations go in and out and find pasture. Evolutions come to find harmony, level and balance - an assortedly hard thing to arrive at. Thus Christ proves that what He creates, has life in Him and the lessons of Him; what Christ destroys, has life recovering in Him and the strengths of being obedient to Him. The more our relation to Christ increases, the more good our knowledge does, the more our Wisdom and so forth, comes to glory in Him, the Christ of Ages.

And what jubilation it is, to have all these things in God!

The use of the word evolution as you are using it to mean personal striving toward a greater personal situation, is not the subject of this forum. This forum is for the discussion of evolution as the change over time of biological populations. You have been told this numerous times and yet you continue to equivocate incorrectly between two meanings of a word.

You have made mistakes in your commentary with the terms "adaptation", "evolution" and "mutation".

None of these are choices made by individuals and none of them are relevant to theology, God or morality.
