In life we are given one basket, full of the goodness of God - Gods unconditional love for us, His wonderful mercy, His steadfastness, His forgiveness and His Glory.
We are also given a second basket full of what I call Prescribed goodness - We should love and respect God, try not to sin, even if we do we can go and ask forgiveness, lead 'good' lives, attend mass or Sunday services regularly, tell others about Christ (evangelise) etc, etc.
But then unknowingly we are also left with an almost empty basket which is rarely filled. But in it rests all our other elements of life.
We have indeed been taught the Truth. But unfortunately we are only being given these first two baskets at the most. This can be called the theory of the partial truth or that of the half truth. These two baskets can only get you to a certain point in your life. Faith, largely, the world over, comprises solely of these two baskets.
But our leaders and preachers still dont get it! they dont get it that these two baskets are failing in the modern world. they are failing flock in the millions. Mankind is now on the verge of self-destruction because the WHOLE, COMPLETE and ENTIRE Gospel is not being TAUGHT, PREACHED or PRACTISED.
